The referee's whistle sounded and the first half of the game was over.
With a perfect score of 3-0, Depor players returned to the locker room talking and laughing.
On Atletico Madrid's side, Simeone has returned to the locker room early.
Before leaving, he let all the substitute players come on to warm up and made arrangements for the second half's substitutions in advance.
Yun Sheng looked back at the training ground, smiled slightly, and told Li Tie: "You also say hello to the substitute players and let them prepare to come on as substitutes."
Depor now have a three-goal lead, and they have more control over the situation.
At the beginning of the second half, Simeone used up three substitutions in one breath.
He removed a defender and two midfielders and replaced them with Turan, Wu Xi and Sun Ke.
All three players are full of attacking power, and Simeone worked hard in the second half.
On the other hand, on Depor's side, Yunsheng also made two substitution adjustments. He replaced Balzaretti and Riquelme, and replaced them with Felipe and De Bruyne.
Yunsheng's adjustment is meant to preserve the players' physical strength. After all, they have to play double games in the past two weeks, and their opponents are also teams of Real Madrid and Barcelona. They cannot freely use the AB lineup. After all, the B lineup is too young and may be eliminated. The opponent was blown away.
After Felipe and De Bruyne came on the court, Depor's on-field situation changed again.
Felipe is faster than Balzaretti and has better assist ability. Yun Sheng hopes that he can cooperate more with left winger Wu Lei.
De Bruyne replaced Riquelme, allowing Atletico Madrid to see an opportunity.
How can this Belgian boy who performed well in the Bundesliga last season compare to Riquelme's control?
In the second half, we stuck with him on this point!
The stuck point mentioned by Atletico Madrid refers to minimizing the time that players such as Kaka hold the ball and giving the ball to the younger De Bruyne.
There is a widely circulated story.
During the battle between the two armies, the enemy had a sniper who was very poor and basically missed his shots, but he was never hit.
The general asked the soldiers angrily: "Why don't you kill that sniper as soon as possible?"
The soldier said calmly: "Kill him? We have to keep him! Do you want them to replace him with a sniper with better shooting skills?"
Now Atletico Madrid faces De Bruyne, this is the idea.
They believe that this young Belgian boy will become Depor's weakness, so they can safely hand the ball to him and focus more on defending other Depor players.
But they thought wrong.
Not long after De Bruyne came on the field, he made a wonderful long pass of 40 meters from the right side to find Drogba in the penalty area.
Drogba's header hit the crossbar and almost scored another goal.
Five minutes later, De Bruyne once again made a world-class pass. The ball was on the left side and directly found the right winger Irving. Irving inserted into the penalty area and got a single shot, and the volley missed the near corner.
With just these two shots, De Bruyne received applause from all the fans!
Even Riquelme, who was sitting on the bench, nodded: "This kid is very talented in passing, and he is also very discerning in observing the movements of his teammates. He is a good prospect! From now on, my No. 10 jersey will be his!"
De Bruyne is the only young man who can receive such high praise from Riquelme.
Now Simeone realizes how wrong he was.
This young man has such a high talent, but he can only be a rotation player for Depor?
What an exaggeration!
If he were at Atletico Madrid, he would definitely be the core of the midfield!
I actually asked the players to give Depor more possession of the ball to him?
The clown turned out to be me...
De Bruyne is getting better and better, and Depor's offense is getting better and better.
But I didn't expect that with Depor going so smoothly, Atletico Madrid would score the first goal in the second half.
After Kok got the ball on the left, he faced Gattuso's defense and suddenly made a diagonal pass. Wu Xi quickly moved forward!
Under Zhang Linpeng's pressure, he passed the ball to the back point and handed it to Sun Ke who responded quickly!
The tacit cooperation between the two Hercules and Monaco teammates!
Sun Ke was not sure to get past Felipe. He passed the ball low and Diego Costa fell to the ground and shot! The ball went in!
3 to 1! Atletico Madrid gets a goal back!
And four minutes later, there was another one-two between Wu Xi and Sun Ke, and the ball was handed to the left forward Villa!
Villa took a long-distance shot directly from outside the penalty area, and the ball went straight into the blind corner!
3 to 2! Atletico Madrid is only one goal away from equalizing the score!
At this time, Yun Sheng on the side of the court frowned: "The Western Super League is so powerful that it is really not that easy to defeat."
He shouted to the players, asking them to increase their efficiency in attacking the goal and expand their lead as soon as possible.
In fact, Depor had a lot of opportunities in the second half, but Courtois was like a god in the second half and could save any shot. This made the Depor forward very helpless.
In the 70th minute of the game, Yun Sheng replaced Irving with Ronaldo and asked him to go to the left, while Wu Lei changed to the right.
In this way, the defensive players will have to adapt for a while, which can bring more opportunities to Depor's forward.
Yunsheng's substitutions had an excellent effect. Ronaldo's advancement and ball control are both top-notch in the Deportivo team, and his passing is also top-notch.
In the 85th minute of the game, after Ronaldo got the ball on the left, Felipe suddenly moved forward and disrupted Atletico Madrid's defense.
The two cooperated continuously, Ronaldo passed the ball to the center, and Drogba once again headed the ball hard!
Courtois saved the ball again!
But at this moment, Wu Lei outflanked him and shot a supplementary shot into the net!
4 to 2! Deportivo once again expanded its lead!
Wu Lei was so excited after scoring the goal! He rushed to the sideline and hugged Yun Sheng!
Kaka performed brilliantly in this game, with two passes and one shot.
De Bruyne's highlight performance dazzled everyone.
However, the biggest contributor to the victory is still the Chinese forward Wu Lei who performed a hat trick!
Scoring three goals in the first game of the season, Wu Lei has had an extremely smooth start to the season!
Although Atletico Madrid attacked with all their strength at the last moment, Wu Xi and Sun Ke's shots were saved by Navas. Navas's performance today was not inferior to Courtois.
As the referee's whistle sounded, this passionate contest ended with Deportivo defeating Atletico Madrid 4-2!
After the first round of the league, Deportivo once again became the top of the La Liga standings. They lead the standings with a goal difference advantage!
Faced with this result, countless media praised Depor's performance.
"World Sports News": "Depor's performance last season was very eye-catching. We suspected that they were just a flash in the pan, but through this game we can clearly see that Depor's strength has been improved again! Regardless of veteran Kaká , or the new star De Bruyne, both have super strength! Not only is Depor's main team top-notch, but his bench is also very deep! 'Super Depor' is really back!"
"Marca": "It seems that there will no longer be the term 'Big Three' in the Western Premier League in the future. Maybe we should learn from the Premier League and call it Big Four..."
