Chapter 233 Evening

In Getafe's dressing room, their half-time break looked tense and efficient and imbued with an upbeat confidence.

And these are not seen in the dressing room of Atletico Madrid.

Marcos Alonso was very chaotic for the first five minutes.

He severely criticized the performance of the players in the first half, thinking that their poor performance had disgraced himself and the chairman of the club, Mr Hill.

What he said was incoherent, and those words were upside down, just like he did in the pre-match press conference, quite a "legacy" of Kevin Keegan.

After five minutes of self-confusion, he finally realized that it was pointless to continue cursing like this.

He has to make some changes.

First, he must know in which direction to change.

Now he has to do a multiple choice question.

Judging from the first half of the game, the chances of beating Getafe by a big score at home are not high, and it can even be said to be very small.

This means that he may not be able to complete the tasks assigned to him by Mr. Chairman.

If you still focus on finding ways to beat Getafe, it may allow the opponent to seize the opportunity to counterattack and score another goal or two.

Then a new problem will arise-Atletico Madrid is not only unable to help Mr. Chairman revenge, they may also lose the qualification for promotion!

Marcos Alonso now has to make a choice. Should he focus on helping Mr. Chairman get revenge, or should he ensure that the team can at least be promoted first?

If he chooses the latter, it means that he has to be more pragmatic. He won't aim to score a lot of goals, just to win, whether it's one or two.

Then his tactics have to be modified, and he pays more attention to efficiency in the second half, instead of waving big boxing punches and beating indiscriminately.

It's just that if he chooses the latter, he has to be prepared to bear the wrath from Jesús Hill...

It took two minutes. Marcos Alonso finally made his decision.

He chose to secure the upgrade first.

He thought, even if he failed to complete the task of helping Mr. Chairman get revenge, as long as he led the team to upgrade. Such a great contribution can always be offset. Perhaps for the sake of leading the team to upgrade, Hill will not let him dismiss get out of class.

And when the time comes. Fans may also stand by their side. Even if Hill wants to fire himself, he may have to consider the reaction of the fans a little bit.

So when the time comes, as long as he leads the team to upgrade successfully, Hill may not be able to fire him so easily...

When Marcos Alonso made his choice, there were only more than seven minutes before the end of the intermission.

So he began to scramble to tell his players his latest instructions, asking them to slow down in the second half, not to blindly attack Getafe's goal, to be careful of the space behind him, and to control the rhythm...

The players of Atlético de Madrid stared at their head coach dumbfounded, wondering why he never mentioned revenge again-this was completely contrary to their previous tactical preparations!

Some of the Atlético Madrid players are feeling overwhelmed. I don't know what I should do.

Don't we need to avenge our beloved Chairman? Don't we need revenge for the 0:3 game in the first half of the season?

Marcos Alonso saw the expressions of the players and read the doubts inside.

He knew what these people were wondering about.

But he couldn't explain it to them.

Because of this...he can't explain it!

Do you have to admit to your players that you have nothing to do with Getafe? You can only temporarily give up the idea of ​​​​revenge and make sure you can win the game first?

If you do this, it must be a big blow to the morale of the team.

This unexplainable feeling is so fucking bad!

※※※

For Marcos Alonso, the halftime break was like a torment.

It's not easy. He made it through the half-time break and the whole squad was out on the pitch.

The second half is about to begin.

Standing in front of the coach's bench, he felt some discomfort in his back, as if something was piercing him.

He looked back at the rostrum.

It was found that the rostrum is still empty.

The feeling of being on the back is even worse.

After thinking about it, he still chose to sit back on the coach's seat, with the fast board blocking his back anyway. Those behind him cannot see him.

When he sat down, he felt better.

Sitting on the coach's bench, he thought with some self-deprecation, it was so painful to coach the team under Hill, why was he still reluctant?

After all, it is the third strongest team in Spain, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family in Spain...

What a beautiful resume to coach this team and lead the team to promotion.

Who would be willing to gain both fame and fortune?

Had to suffer and be happy.

※※※

After the start of the second half, neither side made substitution adjustments.

But people with a discerning eye have already seen it, and Atletico Madrid has made tactical adjustments.

They no longer bombarded Getafe's goal from the beginning of the game like they did in the first half, hoping to score as soon as possible.

They have to be more patient first. Facing Getafe's stubborn defense, they circled back and forth outside, hoping to find a good opportunity.

In the first half, facing such a situation, they would choose to take a direct long-range shot more often and end the attack hastily.

Crespo said something that made Atletico Madrid fans very upset: "It seems that Atletico Madrid is fully aware that it is impossible to beat Getafe like they played in the first half. They will only provide Getafe with more. More opportunities to fight back..."

The Atlético Madrid fans in front of the TV shouted angrily: "Damn! What do you mean it is impossible to beat Getafe? We can even win Real Madrid, why can't we win Getafe?!"

※※※

When Marcos Alonso adjusted his tactics, Atletico Madrid showed their great strength. Amidst the cheers of the home fans, although their offensive was not as violent as before, it was more deadly.

Getafe's defense suddenly felt tremendous pressure.

As they become more patient, it becomes harder to guard them.

Besides, they also have a "golden boy" Fernando Torres who has returned to normal levels?

Torres was much calmer than in the first half.

During the intermission, although the head coach did not criticize him. But he was alone in his seat with his head down, reflecting on his own problems.

He is a smart person, otherwise his achievements in the future would not be so high.

He knew that it was his own will that led to Atletico Madrid's poor offense.

When he's on the court, his blood boils. Not aware of this problem.

After he calmed down in the locker room, he realized what a big mistake he had made.

So the second half. He was no longer entangled with Jose Passarella.

When he gets the ball, he attracts the attention of Jose Passarella, if the chance is not good. He will pass the football decisively instead of being forced to a dead end before passing the ball.

Although Jose Passarella is excellent and has outstanding ability in one-on-one defense, no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to fight against two or even more.

When Torres doesn't stick to the ball, doesn't greedy for credit, and sends out passes frequently, his defense against Torres loses its meaning.

Torres' activeness revitalized Atletico Madrid's offense.

The pressure on Getafe's defense is even greater.

※※※

Finally, 13 minutes into the second half. Atlético Salva scored the equalizer.

At that time, it was Torres who, after attracting the attention of Getafe's defense, sent the football out to Salva, allowing Salva to score with almost no one marking him.

When Salva scored a goal, Calderon, who had been suppressed for 58 minutes, finally sounded deafening cheers.

The Atlético Madrid fans were venting their emotions.

"Nice job, Salva!"

"Show those damn Getafe people! This is the real Atletico Madrid!"

"Atletico Madrid must win! It will be us who will go to the First Division!"

Atlético Madrid fans in the stands and in front of the TVs were all shaking their fists. Yelled demonstratively.

Salva, who scored the goal, is still posing and celebrating the goal.

Torres has already rushed into the goal, grabbed the football before Getafe goalkeeper Pablo, held it in his arms, and ran to the middle circle.

It's still just a draw.

A draw does not qualify Atletico Madrid. Only victory will do.

Torres doesn't seem to be wasting time celebrating goals.

※※※

Marcos Alonso finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Salva sweep the ball into the Getafe goal.

The pressure that had been on his shoulders suddenly disappeared, making him feel relieved.

Although a draw cannot guarantee the team's promotion, at least it is a good start. The next step is to reverse and win.

The news from another stadium is that Real Betis continues to lead Gann 1:0 away.

So this score actually cannot help Atletico Madrid upgrade.

But there is hope anyway...

※※※

Chang Sheng frowned when he saw Atletico Madrid players celebrating their goals off the court.

Still lost the ball...

Atletico Madrid, which is playing at home, is indeed not to be underestimated.

If I hadn't provoked Hill before the game and let them waste half of the game, I'm afraid this game will be much more difficult than it is now.

But this conceded goal just made him frown, and within two seconds, his expression returned to normal.

A draw will not allow Atletico Madrid to upgrade, it will only give them hope of upgrading. So they will work harder to attack under the impetus of this hope.

This also means that there will be more space behind them.

And the ever-victorious Getafe is best at winning and losing defensively and counterattacks, but it likes to catch loopholes in the opponent's defense the most, and the one behind him is empty...

In this way, Getafe will have more opportunities.

※※※

Flores was sitting in the box, surrounded by Atletico Madrid fans. They jumped up from their seats one by one after Salva scored a goal, cheering heartily, even some demonstrative cheers.

Others shook their fists at him.

Because in the first half, when Getafe scored, he also jumped up and cheered loudly. This already shows his identity.

The Atletico Madrid fans in the box naturally wouldn't beat him up, but it was still possible to use this goal to taunt Flores and demonstrate to him.

Flores turned a deaf ear to the rowdy Atlético Madrid fans around him.

His eyes were fixed on the field below.

You wouldn't settle for just one draw, would you, often?

PS, at first I thought it was just that the monthly pass had arrived and I needed to add more.

So after adding updates, I accidentally glanced at the book review area, only to realize that I was wrong...

Not only does the monthly pass need to be updated when it arrives, but it also needs to be updated when a new leader is born!
