What does a red card less than ten minutes into the game mean for the Champions League final? The answer is that everything can change.
At least Simeone's tactic of trying to lock down Yi Zhe in the middle cannot continue today, even if he replaces a defensive midfielder. The two central defenders cannot cover the entire backfield anyway.
Simeone feels as if he has eaten a fly. It is obviously useless to bombard the referee team. Clattenburg came from the Premier League. Who has never seen such a ruthless person? He just said something, and the yellow card was already shown, which is typical of people who are not used to this problem.
He didn't even try to comfort Godin, who was covering his head and about to cry. The tactical sinkhole was right in front of him. He had to clean up the mess of his clever creativity.
"What can Simeone do now? Aha! Before the game, he never thought that his tactics would be ruined by a red card. There is not much room left for him to adjust."
After a painful struggle, Simeone could only replace Felipe Luis and Juanfran - in the end he chose to return to the normal four-back system and was forced to replace the Frenchman Griezmann on the front line.
With this move, Simeone has almost destroyed his aura as a famous coach and his popularity at Atletico Madrid.
"Diego Simeone is so brave! A red card completely negated his tactics!"
"Two substitutions were wasted in less than ten minutes after the opening. Does Diego Simeone think he can make four substitutions? If Atletico Madrid cannot solve Wolfsburg in ninety minutes, Simeone's choice now is Undoubted disaster!"
But it is undeniable that Simeone's move at least restored Atletico Madrid's offensive ability a little. He stood on the sidelines and signaled to press forward with all his strength. At this time, he suddenly thought that he could not lose the situation.
Wolfsburg's attack in the penalty area was directly saved by Oblak. Then the opponent ran to the goal and launched a quick counterattack by throwing the ball with his hand. Montenegro center back Savic distributed the ball to the wing, and the left back who had just replaced him came on. Felipe Luis got the ball and started immediately. Wolfsburg's two full-backs were still in the frontcourt, and the situation was excellent. Before Atletico Madrid changed their formation, they were thinking about how to show off their moves.
But now it's broken.
"This is Atletico Madrid's counterattack!"
"Carrasco!"
Felipe Luis passed the ball to Carrasco in front almost immediately. The Belgian national team's winger raced all the way to Wolfsburg and drove straight into the penalty area along Wolfsburg's wing.
But the fastest runner at this time was Yi Zhe. Almost as soon as Carrasco was about to speed up and cut into the penalty area, he rushed from the midfield all the way in front of him.
Even in the Champions League final, it is impossible for the camera to follow a certain player on the field throughout the whole process. After all, this is everyone's stage, but if you don't follow the whole process, you will never understand Yi Zhe's speed.
"Yi Zhe! Yi Zhe is back again! Could it be that he can teleport? Hahaha!"
"God! How did this happen?"
However, Carrasco is experienced after all. He pushed the ball across the middle with a light pass, and Fernando Torres was quickly advancing.
"Come! Come! Our Holy Child - Fernando!
!
!
"
All the Atletico fans, including their commentators, were absolutely crazy. Both Madrid heroes have their own true favorites, just like Raul for the Bernabeu, the name Torres is the glory of Atletico Madrid.
The former golden boy, the young captain, the Holy Child celebrating with his fingers in his mouth, the pride of the Calderon Stadium, the boy who has returned from a thousand sailings and will never grow old... For Atletico Madrid, Torres is time.
The first moment Torres received the ball, he blocked Naldo behind him and quickly inserted into the penalty area. Just these two moments can make people see that Torres seems to be still young.
"Fernando!
!
!
! "
But after overcoming the Wolfsburg central defender, Yi Zheyinbu stepped in front of him. Torres felt it, but he opened his arms and kept the fastest speed under his feet to kill into the penalty area, just like he used in 2008. Carrying Ram with his body and sending the Matadors to the top of Europe.
But this time he collided with Yi Zhe's body and was staggered directly. He leaned forward and fell in the penalty area, watching helplessly as the ball was controlled by Benario.
"oh--"
"Woo——"
Torres turned to look at the referee, but Clattenburg said there was nothing.
"Aha! Torres may feel that he was wronged. He thinks that he can still attack the city for Atletico Madrid, but Yi Zhe is not Lahm, and time does not lie!"
He Wei just said this, and Benario turned around and threw the ball to Yi Zhe's feet. Yi Zhe started to accelerate the moment he got the ball.
Although Gabi rushed up immediately and tried his best, after the change of formation, only he and Koke were left in the middle of the midfield.
What is this enough for in front of Yi Zhe?
The next second, under his full pressure, Yi Zhe changed directions and started to pass Koke, who was not good at defending at all, and then ran all the way towards Atletico Madrid's backcourt from the middle.
"Wolfsburg's counterattack!"
“Yi Zhe!
!
! "
Atletico Madrid's center back immediately pressed forward, but Yi Zhe accelerated directly, passed a rough ball, and passed the ball under Savage's crotch, and the whole person flashed past him. By the time the Montenegrin central defender turned around, Yi Zhe was already kicking his feet in front of the penalty area.
"Boom!"
The ball hit the goal directly, right in front of Jimenez. He was just a step late in defending, but this is the Champions League final, and one second determines everything.
Oblak jumped up, but the ball flew past his arms so quickly that before he even had time to reach out, he felt a strong gust of wind pass by, and then saw the ball hit the net.
It’s ice and fire again!
“Toooooooor!
!
!
! " Reese Lubet jumped up suddenly and almost jumped to the commentary box and shouted: "Yi!
!
!
! He turned on the Wolfsburg moment!
!
!
! "
All the cameras focused on Yi Zhe's face, watching him run wildly along the coaching bench.
At this time, the camera was pushed to the face of Torres on the other side. There is no need to doubt the camera language of the Champions League broadcaster.
"Torres completely lost to Yi!"
"Even though Fernando Torres has not aged, it is obvious that he is no longer the darling of this era!"
As for CCTV commentator He Wei, who was at the scene, he felt more deeply than any other commentator at this moment: "Almighty in both offense and defense, leading the audience, this is Yi Zhe! The Holy Infant is old, this is the real golden boy!"
Real Chinese fans can feel the power behind these words.
What changes the Champions League final now is not the "golden boy" Torres in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans, not the omnipotent Torres, but the real European golden boy!
