Chapter 279: Lost (Thirty-Six/One Hundred Thirty-Four)
When De Gea saved Faragno's shot, the Atlético fans cheered loudly, and many people jumped from their seats, raising their arms and shouting. m
Happy for them to have such a brave goalkeeper.
But then, their cheers all stopped abruptly.
The Atlético Madrid fans were like ducks that had been strangled, unable to make a sound anymore.
Klose is where he should be.
Made an action that a shooter should do.
However, the football flew into the goal without any suspense.
Lazio pulled one back!
"Beautiful! Klose! He scored a goal for Lazio! Now Lazio is only one goal behind! For Lazio who is back to normal, the difference of this one goal is almost negligible!"
"A goal! Lazio pulled it back! There are still 20 minutes, and there is still a chance! Lazio has a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
Suddenly, the commentators were optimistic about Lazio coming.
A bunch of weeds...
※ ※ ※
After scoring the goal, he did not celebrate the goal. He rushed into the goal, picked up the football before De Gea, turned around and ran towards the middle circle.
Lazio just pulled a goal back and that one wasn't going to help to win this game.
There's not much time left and you need to hurry, so there's no need to celebrate.
When Klose did this, Flores on the sidelines was holding his head in his hands, looking annoyed.
This kind of offense that relies entirely on the player's inspiration is really difficult to defend.
After David Silva distracted the Atletico Madrid players' defensive attention, Hernanes' forward run was lacking in pressure, allowing him to calmly complete a pick pass.
This ball should never have happened.
Yes, as long as the players are more serious,
Really shouldn't be there.
After annoyance. He rushed to the sidelines and yelled at the players inside.
"Raise your concentration! Don't drop your defense!"
Whether this is really useful, he is not very clear now.
But there is always something to do.
※ ※ ※
Klose's goal instantly revived the Lazio fans in the stands.
They danced in the stands, cheering over the boos of the Atlético fans.
Even if the game has restarted, their cheers have not stopped.
They are cheering for Lazio in this way.
In the subsequent games, Atletico Madrid continued to defend, but they defended more tightly. Every Lazio player will have an Atletico Madrid player next to him.
As soon as they have the ball, these Atletico Madrid players will jump up and stick to it, interfering with Lazio's players who have the ball.
Atletico Madrid has no retreat now, and they will definitely defend with all their strength.
Because it only takes one more ball to drop. The morale of the team is gone.
At this time, Chang Sheng can finally start to exert his strength.
He replaced veteran Rocky with Gotze and Bresciano with Modric.
These two substitutions can greatly increase the team's offensive power.
Sure enough, after Modric and Gotze came up. Atletico Madrid's defensive pressure soared.
"Lazio's attack is starting to pick up! Reminder to those Atlético fans who cheered when they were two goals ahead - it's not the strongest Lazio you're leading! Not even this one! So don't be too happy Too early!"
The Italian narrator shouted excitedly.
Lazio's offense has accelerated, and the hope of winning has increased a lot.
※ ※ ※
David Silva, Gotze and Modric formed a front triangle, with Klose looking for opportunities ahead. Lazio's offense is more three-dimensional and diversified.
Among these four people, no matter who they are, they have the ability to solve the battle by themselves.
So when they cooperate, it will make it difficult for the defender to guard against.
The game progressed to the 80th minute. Lazio's successive passes finally created a chance for them.
Modric went straight for Klose but was blocked by the Atlético Madrid defender.
Football is rolling back.
Modric rushed forward, making the assumption of a long-range shot, but distributed the football to Gotze next to him.
Gotze also made a shot, but didn't do it when he swung his foot down. It was the football that was written and passed on.
Klose in the middle does not receive the ball, although he is in the path of the pass.
Everyone thought he was going to catch the ball and shoot it.
But he ignored the three Atletico Madrid players who surrounded him.
Klose spread his legs apart. Run forward.
The football slipped between his legs!
So where did the football end up being passed on?
David Silva was in position, the football arrived and the job was much easier.
Silva shoots directly with his right foot!
The football drew an arc, bypassed the ten fingers of goalkeeper De Gea, and then flew into the goal from the far end!
"Consecutive passes...beautiful! David Silva shot--!! The ball is here! Lazio equalized the score!!"
"Great show! Lazio scored twice in the second half. They looked like a different team compared to the first half!"
"It's the end of Atlético Madrid! They were two goals ahead in the first half and had the upper hand...but now they're being chased back by Lazio!"
Accompanied by the shouts of the narrator. Atlético de Madrid coach Flores threw an angry punch on the ceiling of the bench.
Oh shit!
Damn it!
He just wants to swear now.
This time it was not because Atletico Madrid's players were not pressing in time.
This time it was too timely to press!
Lazio took advantage of the characteristics of Atletico Madrid players that they would respond immediately to any action they made. They used false shots and real passes, false receptions and true misses to tear apart Atletico Madrid's defense...
There was no loophole in the defense, but because of the rapid movement of Atletico Madrid defenders, some gaps appeared.
Then this gap was taken advantage of by Lazio.
So cunning!
※ ※ ※
David Silva did not celebrate after the goal. He was going to rush towards the goal, but when he saw that Klose had run in for the first time and picked up the football, he turned around and ran back.
With ten minutes left, Lazio was able to reverse the next game!
The Lazio fans in the stands shouted almost crazy at this time!
They really didn't expect that Lazio could chase two goals in a row!
And judging by their posture, they may have to achieve a reversal in 90 minutes!
"Come on, Lazio!!"
The Lazio fans in the stands chanted.
The Lazio fans were elated in the stands, while the Atlético fans were transfixed.
They couldn't figure it out, and named the one who led the score in the first half and the scene was dominant.
How come it was tied all of a sudden?
Like them, some Atletico Madrid players were in a daze.
They also cannot accept the result of leading by two goals and being equalized.
After conceding a ball. They paid great attention.
Time was running out, and they succeeded.
In the end it fell short...
Although they are now tied, they haven't lost the game yet.
But they already had such a feeling in their hearts.
That is they have a good chance of losing this game.
Because their morale has fallen to the bottom.
Each of them had that game from two seasons ago on their minds. They were poured nine goals by Lazio at Lazio's home court!
When the morale was like a rainbow before, even if this memory was recalled by them, it was the motivation for their revenge.
But now, thinking about this game again, it made them shudder.
Because they will understand the game from another angle. Instead of being their motivation for revenge, it became their nightmare.
They will reflect that in front of them is the devil who scored nine of their goals!
They are ruthless, they are vicious.
The shame of being humiliated at that time came to mind again, but it failed to stimulate their ambition of revenge.
In the last ten minutes, the morale of Atletico Madrid was like a collapsed city wall. gradually fell apart.
In the 88th minute, Lazio seized a low-level error in Atletico Madrid's defense and scored a goal to overtake the score.
so far. Atletico Madrid players completely surrendered!
※ ※ ※
"3:2! Lazio did it! They completed an amazing comeback! After being two goals behind in the first half, they fought back in the second half and reversed the game!"
"Poor Atlético Madrid...they lost the game with a two-goal lead...although they played tenaciously, they were still beaten by Lazio...maybe this is their fate, and fate is irresistible!"
In the voice of the narrator. The cheers of the Lazio fans sounded from the stands.
This time it was bigger than the previous two.
Because they know that Lazio will win!
Compared to the excited Lazio fans. Atletico Madrid fans were all silent, some even put their heads in their hands in pain.
Their silence this time means that they also know what will happen to the team next.
When Lazio took the lead, can they turn their opponents back? That's a fantasy!
Never before!
Atlético Madrid... lost.
※ ※ ※
Flores stood on the sidelines with a blank expression.
His tone was originally very good, just in time for the Lazio team to be out of shape.
He was so close to beating Lazio.
He knows that his team is actually very tenacious, even though the defeat is glorious.
But only the victors will be remembered.
Years later, one would not say that 2010 UEFA Super Cup champions Lazio's opponents were tenacious in their game.
They will only say that the champion of the European Super Cup that year was Lazio, who defeated Atletico Madrid 3:2 in the game.
That's all.
Winner takes all, loser for Kou.
Flores sighed, then walked back to the dugout and sat down.
The game is over.
