"In recent minutes, Atletico Madrid has begun to increase the pressure and pressure in the midfield and frontcourt."

"I believe that all fans who are familiar with the bed sheets will not be unfamiliar with this. This is because they have discovered the opponent's weakness and are about to attack. Barcelona must be careful."

"Especially the midfield ball transfer, although there is no specific data yet, we can roughly conclude that Barcelona's pass success rate in this game is not high, which is undoubtedly very beneficial for Atletico Madrid, which has a very fast defense to attack."

"And Barcelona currently has several young players such as Puyor, Navarro and Valdes gathered."

"Okay, it's still passed to the midfield and handed it to Riquelme."

"Richerme took the ball, and Barcelona is actively organizing the offense."

"Passed to Orvemas, Roberto defended very steadily, and had no chance, and passed it back to Riquelme."

"A straight pass to Cruivet, there is a chance..."

"Oh, Cruivet didn't stop. Pablo behind him defended closely and passed to the right..."

"Atl Madrid intercepted and launched a quick counterattack."

"It's left-back Antonio Lopez, very fast..."

"Atlancia Madrid's rapid counterattack, Barcelona is also quickly returning to defense."

"Passed to Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle."

"Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball horizontally and cut inside, suddenly turned around and passed it behind him, passing it into the penalty area."

"Torres is very fast, good opportunity, no offside, single shot..."

...

The entire Camp Nou Stadium was shocked when Torres passed Navarro and De Boer and rushed straight to the ball in front of the goal.

But just as the red and white arrow stripes rushed into the Barcelona penalty area like a flash of lightning, Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes suddenly chose to abandon the goal and attack.

This made the hearts of the Camp Nou fans suffocate their throats and they looked at them with wide eyes.

In the flash of lightning, Torres took the lead and reached the ball. With a light poke, the ball changed direction.

But at this moment, Valdes fell to the ground and failed to hit the ball, but tripped Torres to the ground.

The Atletico Madrid forward fell out, rolled on the grass for two laps, and lay on the ground.

Beep!!!

The referee's whistle sounded quickly!

The screams of red cards suddenly sounded at the scene, which were the shouts of Atletico Madrid fans who followed the team to the away game.

But soon, Barcelona fans launched overwhelming booing, completely submerging them.

Here, they have an overwhelming number of people.

Amid the booing, the referee finally gave only a yellow card and a penalty.

At this time, Torres was pulled from the grass by Kiko and Cristiano Ronaldo, pulling them from the left and right.

This immediately caused him to be booed again because Barcelona fans thought he was a fake fall.

...

"From the slow-motion replay, Torres did not pretend to fall."

"Valdes was young, lacking experience, and not mature enough. He rushed to attack and threw Torres down. He was sure of the penalty kick. He only got one yellow card, which was also considered as the referee's mercy."

"We saw that Torres seemed to be safe and stood at the penalty spot."

"It's the 31st minute of the game. If Torres can score this penalty, it will undoubtedly open up the situation for Atletico Madrid, but Valdes seems to be actively preparing."

"Okay, penalty kick preparation..."

"The ball is in!!!!"

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"

"Torres calmly scored a penalty!"

"Although Valdes made sufficient preparations, he guessed the wrong direction and was powerless."

"One to zero, Atletico Madrid leads away!"

…………

…………

After Torres hit a penalty, Barcelona counterattacked wildly.

But Atletico Madrid was still calm and steadily defending its position, without giving Barcelona any chance.

Sedo Keita, Xavi Alonso and Simeone, the three midfielders, although they failed to compete with Barcelona for possession, were quite outstanding in defense, and both coverage and oppression were executed quite well.

On the other hand, Barcelona seems to have taken the initiative on the field, but in fact it is difficult to create a threat.

Although Riquelme also made several quite threatening passes, it never helped Barcelona equalize the score and even created a truly threatening attack.

In this situation where he was in a position and did not score, the first half ended with an Atletico Madrid leading with a goal.

…………

"I don't have much time, I'll tell you a long story."

During the halftime break, Gao Han and the coaching staff immediately walked into the players' rest area after the meeting.

All the players looked at the head coach and listened to his specific arrangements for the second half.

"This is a detailed comparison of the first half of our two teams. From it, it is not difficult to find that Barcelona is not as threatening as we imagined."

Everyone nodded repeatedly when they heard this.

"Here, I have to praise our midfield and backcourt. The defense was organized quite well, the formation and distance were maintained very well, and it did not give Barcelona a good chance. We must continue to maintain the second half."

When Gao Han said this, his admiring eyes fell on Diego Simeone.

The Argentine midfielder smiled and nodded, tacitly informing him.

Although the veteran is thirty-two years old, he is in good shape and is very smart and integrates into the team very quickly.

In this game, Cruivet was confined by Pablo Ibanes and his performance was not very active. Barcelona focused on attacking Ovimas and Saviola's side, and Simeone performed very well.

There is also Roberto, who is getting more and more adaptable to the right back position, and his offense and defense are both good.

"I won't say much about defense, I'll focus on the offense."

Speaking of this, Gao Han switched the pictures in his notebook.

"Barcelona insists on playing three defenders, and the defense of the two sides has natural flaws, but the combination of Mundeta and Xavi's double midfielder, although the ball control is good, the defense is very problematic."

Mendeita became famous on the right side and could only be regarded as a midfielder with both offense and defense, but the protection of the defense is definitely not what he is good at. Although Xavi was focused on becoming the No. 4 position in Van Gaal's last term, he himself was not good at this position.

At least, his sense of position when defending is much worse than that of Guardiola.

"Look at it, Riquelme has almost no defensive contributions, Saviola and Cruivit are basically at the forefront, and the entire Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt are very well-matched."

"Mendeta and Xavi have a wide range of activities, and running coverage is their strength, but they are also prone to losing their defensive position. In addition, the interception in the midfield is not effective, so our offense will focus on both frontcourts in the second half."

Everyone immediately understood what the head coach meant.

"Cristiano." Gao Han named.

"I'm here, boss." The Portuguese young man stood up immediately.

After the training in the second half of last season and the training of the League Cup with the team, Cristiano Ronaldo looks much more confident than before.

The Portuguese's style on the court has not changed much. He dares to take the ball, drive the ball, and dares to fight. This is what Gao Han appreciates the most. It is that it is too sticky and needs to be knocked and beaten again.

But this is also a good thing.

On the contrary, like Saviola, he dared not take the ball or break through. Although he was fast and flexible, Gao Han didn't like it either.

"The second half is based on your side as the main offensive point. Everyone will pass the ball to you more. Your responsibility is to drive the ball away from their defense, and then pass the ball out like in the first half."

The Portuguese nodded immediately, "I understand."

"You boy have to listen to me. Look up and observe the situation around you. Don't bury me in the ball."

"I know." Cristiano Ronaldo answered loudly.

Gao Han nodded with satisfaction, "Perform better, beat Bayern Munich and let you on the big roster!"

"Really?" The Portuguese boy jumped up.

That is the official group stage of the Champions League, and the opponent is Bayern Munich, can he make it into the roster?

"It depends on your performance!" Gao Han smiled.

Everyone in the locker room was also funny, but they were also envious.

Anyone can feel Gao Han's appreciation of the Portuguese and focus on cultivating him.

However, everyone could see that the Portuguese is indeed very talented. Whether on the left or on the right, it is quite threatening, and its talent is amazing.

Moreover, although Gao Han has focused on cultivating several players, he is also very good at other players and treats them almost equally. Therefore, although the competition within the team is fierce, the atmosphere is still maintained well.
