MTL - King of World Football-Chapter 638 : Ruffian Legion
Back in the league, Galacticos won against Getafe and newly promoted Elche with scores of 4:1 and 2:0 respectively. Wang Feng contributed 3 goals and 1 assist in the two games.
After 6 rounds, there are only three teams in La Liga that still maintain a winning streak, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. The "Western Super League" seems to have expanded this season, and the sheet army led by Simeone continues to amaze fans.
All this is due to the grassroots striker Diego Costa, who scored 8 goals in 6 rounds, surpassing Messi to rank second in the scorer list, second only to Wang Feng with 10 goals.
You must know that a year ago, the Brazilian could only live in Vallecano on the outskirts of Madrid. He didn't have the slightest superstar attitude on the court, and he made endless tricks.
Therefore, many people think that Costa is a clown, but a flash in the pan, but this "little hooligan" who was born in Brazilian street football doesn't care. He only cares about goals and how much money he earns from winning games.
Like Wang Feng, the Brazilian started playing professional football at the age of 16, starting from the São Paulo State Second Division, and then moved to the Portuguese Super League Braga and the Portuguese Premier League Penafiel, and was finally sold to Atletico Madrid at a low price of 1.5 million euros.
But at that time, Costa was not valued by the high-level executives of the Sheets. Instead, he became a transfer head and dumped it to Valladolid. Add the right of first repurchase to the transfer contract.
Costa is very competitive. His good performance in Valladolid moved the Sheets to use the buy-back clause, and he got a lot of signing fees for this. Unfortunately, he still has no place after returning to Atletico Madrid. Falcao's outstanding performance severely suppressed he.
The Brazilian, who was loaned to Vallecano again, not only did not feel depressed, but continued to make outstanding contributions. When the transfer of the Colombian star was aroused, he knew that his opportunity had come!
Sure enough, the head coach Simeone insisted on recalling him and training him as a key center. In fact, his shooting skills are not good, and it is more "reasonable" to provoke the opponent's defender and create opportunities with this.
Stalking, making full use of the referee's blind spots and psychological characteristics when fighting, using extremely small fouls to pursue profits but easily escaping punishment, Costa's ability in this aspect is the best in La Liga.
In the confrontation, he is very active and wants to make positive physical contact with the opponent. In this case, the rich hand movements can be fully utilized, which is often very irritating and even irrational.
The Brazilian himself admits this, but he doesn't think there is any problem: "I am playing under the rules. I want to continue to improve and lead the team to victory. I will not change my way of playing football."
Atletico Madrid's sharp strikers have also become a traditional phenomenon of the team. In 1997, the old Hill spent 15 million euros to bring Vieri back. The Italian star who only stayed for one season contributed 24 games with 24 goals. Since then, most strikers When you come to the Sheets Corps, your value can skyrocket.
Torres, Aguero, Forlan, Falcao and now Diego Costa, no matter how they change, Atletico Madrid never seems to lack someone who has the final say, not to mention the young Adrian and Baptistan.
Under the training of Simeone, this team is full of wild atmosphere, which is not good news for Real Madrid, because they will challenge this group of "ruffian legions" at the Calderón Stadium, and the outcome of the game will most likely affect the form of the championship. .
.........
On September 28, in the 7th round of La Liga, the Galacticos challenged their rivals Atletico Madrid in an away game.
Simeone has a 442 starting lineup with goalkeeper Courtois.
The back four are Juanfran, Miranda, Godin and Felipe.
Four midfielders Gabi, Thiago, Turan and Koke.
Double striker Diego - Costa and Villa.
Ancelotti let Illararamendi start instead of the tired Modric in this game. Bell did not enter the squad, so Morata got the chance to play.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides were full of gunpowder. Di Maria dribbled the ball from the side and was knocked to the ground by Gabi. Then Isco passed Wang Feng and was pushed down by Godin from behind.
The referee on duty, the Spaniard Alsace, only gave a verbal warning and signaled the game to continue, and the fans of the home team in the stands were also fighting wildly, which made the Chinese superstar very dissatisfied.
Atletico Madrid's attack here, Diego Costa, as always, adhered to his small action first strategy, the frontcourt dribbled the ball and encountered Ramos' close defense, the Brazilian raised his elbow and secretly gave the Spanish defender a hard time.
Ramos is not a vegetarian either. He fell to the ground and directly pressed on the opponent. The referee immediately blew his whistle to stop the surrounding players from both sides and punished Real Madrid for a foul.
The Spanish defender spread his hands in disbelief, and Wang Feng also argued with Alsace: "Sir, it is clearly the opponent's elbow. We can see it very clearly. It is definitely a malicious gesture."
But the referee shook his head and said that he didn't see it, and hoped that the two sides could calm down and play normally. The Chinese superstar couldn't help but smiled wryly. It's getting worse.
Soon Diego Costa repeated his old trick. This time he received a through pass from Miranda and made a breakthrough. When facing Pepe's block, he made a pinching movement under his hand. The Portuguese star will not be used to him and immediately let him go. fell to the ground.
The two began to fight immediately, the referee Alsace came over and showed Pepe a yellow card~www.novelbuddy.com~Wang Feng stepped forward to protest again, and at the same time, he also stopped his teammates to prevent them from colliding with the opponent and the referee.
"This is all their conspiracy, guys, calm down! Don't be fooled easily, keep our normal rhythm, and win this game!"
Then the game gradually fell into a stalemate. The defense of the Galaxy Battleship was not easy, and the same was true for Atletico Madrid. Wang Feng's smart breakthrough and sharp pass could always penetrate the defense, and they had to resort to frequent foul strategies.
The Chinese superstar shook his head regretfully after taking free kicks for several consecutive free kicks and hitting the goal directly, which also increased the home team's defensive confidence.
In the 31st minute, Alonso gave the interception in midfield to the Chinese superstar. He then turned around and dribbled the ball forward. Facing Thiago's interception, he slowed down and swung the ball to the left. The ball, let it pass between the legs of Atletico Madrid's midfielder, and he accelerated to keep up, getting rid of the defense in an instant.
Miranda nearby quickly stepped forward to defend, but Wang Feng was about to overtake him in a big stride. At this time, turning around and chasing the ball would definitely not work. The Brazilian defender had no choice but to cling to the Chinese superstar and foul.
The referee's whistle sounded, and Wang Feng, who was not in a good mood, pushed the opponent away, "Do you really think that this can stop me?"
Standing at the penalty spot again, the Chinese superstar stared at the goal, constantly building a route in his mind, turning previous failures into experience, and adjusting the position and strength of the ball.
approach! hit the door! The moment Wang Feng touched the ball, he was sure of it, so he ran sideways to the stands without hesitation, personally responding to those provocative fans.
Amidst countless horrified eyes, the ball drew a deadly arc in the air, bypassing the wall and hitting the dead corner of the goal. Although Courtois, who is two meters tall, tried his best to open his arms, he still failed to reach the ball.
"Swipe~!" 1:0! Real Madrid take the lead!
