Morata's height is 190cm, and his most advantageous ability is heading the ball.
In the football world, players who can use both feet are favored by God, but they are still a little behind compared to players with inverse feet. Because players who can play in top leagues are the rarest of all.
Now that he had lost the ball, Morata was quite calm. He turned around and gave Griezmann a thumbs up.
Fang Fang looked up and saw it, but he was somewhat impressed by Morata's mentality.
Even when being constantly questioned by the outside world, Morata can still have this mentality of focusing on playing football. Isn't this a skill?
Until the end of the first half, both sides of the game only contributed two shots on target. Naturally, the kick shot cannot be counted.
In the second half, the two teams changed sides and played again.
So, how best to describe this game?
I saw that the audience in the stands were already drowsy.
The existence of this game completely proves that football is not only passionate and touching, but also boring and dull!
By the end of the game, both teams had only four shots on goal.
The two sides seemed to be playing not a knockout match, but more like a friendly match.
This is more friendly than a friendly match.
But this is Atletico Madrid's current playing style. Scoring goals depends entirely on the forward's personal ability, and winning depends entirely on the team's defensive torture!
The moment the game ended, the score was locked at 0:0!
At this time, head coach Simeone looked at Arsenal's bench and saw that Fang Fang and Lacazette were so bored that they were picking their nails!
He wondered how Wenger could stay calm all this time. This was Arsenal's home ground!
Simeone was very depressed. He wiped his nose and then walked towards Wenger and wanted to shake hands.
However, Professor Wenger would not be fooled, he turned around and left.
Do you want to shake hands with this snot-smeared hand?
Simeone is just plain disgusting.
Looking at Wenger's back, Simeone suddenly smiled and said, "This old boy is too stingy."
Thinking in his mind, Simeone also walked towards the stadium tunnel and licked his fingers. Well, it seemed to feel pretty good.
Fang Fang stood up and walked over, and when he saw this scene, he was so frightened that he shivered all over.
This scene was also captured by the on-site cameras and became one of the few highlights of the game.
Many viewers in front of the screen felt sick.
"I'll go, Simone still wants to play dirty, how disgusting!"
"Fortunately, Professor Wenger is cautious enough!"
"As expected of you Simone, you have a unique taste!"
After the game, Arsenal's performance naturally received a lot of criticism.
Originally, since the 21st century, Premier League teams have lost more than they have won against La Liga in European competitions.
In the 9 European finals, they lost 8 times, and in the knockout stage, they also lost more than they won.
Soon, Morgan, a famous celebrity in the Premier League, claimed to be a die-hard Arsenal fan. So, he took to social media to express his anger at Arsenal’s performance.
And also posted the historical data of Premier League teams against La Liga:
"Today again, when we faced Atletico Madrid, we behaved like a drunkard with no fighting spirit! No desire to win or lose,"
“It’s hard to imagine us performing as a third-placed team in the Premier League!”
"There is no trace of beautiful football now."
"And the Premier League has lost eight European finals to La Liga."
"2001, Europa League final Liverpool 5-4 Alaves
"2006, Champions League final Arsenal 1-2 Barcelona
"2006, Europa League final Middlesbrough 0-4 Sevilla
"2009, Champions League final Manchester United 0-2 Barcelona
“2010, Europa League final Fulham 1-2 Atletico Madrid
“2011, Champions League final: Manchester United 1-3 Barcelona
“2016, Europa League final Liverpool 1-3 Sevilla
"2018, Champions League final Liverpool 1-3 Real Madrid."
"I just hope that one day in the future, our club can get rid of this curse!"
When many Premier League fans saw these data, the old wounds in their hearts were torn open again.
In addition, Arsenal was eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Europa League last year. It's hard for fans to imagine what the second round could be like.
Outside public opinion instantly turned against Arsenal.
Forced to have no choice but to temporarily refuse all media visits from the outside world, the Arsenal club chose to conduct closed training.
Regarding this, the players all had a fire in their hearts and felt very aggrieved.
However, Professor Wenger only asked the players not to give any interviews in the near future.
During this period, the FA Cup held a quarter-final draw. Arsenal did not continue their good luck in the FA Cup this time. They were drawn against Manchester City.
After this signing, it can basically be announced that Arsenal can finally get rid of the burden of the FA Cup.
On March 14, Arsenal finished the 30th round of the Premier League and scored three points from Fulham. After two days of rest, the Arsenal team finally flew to sunny Madrid.
After getting off the plane, the players all remembered Professor Wenger's instructions and chose to remain silent in front of the reporters and media outside.
When Fang Fang saw that there were some domestic reporters outside, he felt that everyone was having a hard time and wanted to say a few words.
But thinking of the professor's instructions, Fang Fang could only wave friendlyly to the domestic reporters to express his apologies.
After that, train and rest for a day in Madrid. Arsenal finally ushered in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.
at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
Arsenal's formation is 433, wearing white jerseys.
"Sheet Legion" Atletico Madrid played 442 and wore a red striped jersey.
But to Fang Fang's surprise, he once again sat on the bench. He has been out of the starting lineup three times in a row.
The equation is a little confused, and I no longer know what Professor Wenger has in mind.
He did not appear in the previous game against Fulham because he took the lead early in the first half, so Fangfang felt that he could accept the rest.
But now, in such an important second leg against Atletico Madrid, why isn't he playing?
As a result, some Tottenham fans who were rivals in the same city expressed their opinions online. They gloated about it and called it a "master-disciple break"!
This is not a big deal at all just to watch the excitement.
Later, Fang Fang didn't find out about this until he returned to the locker room and looked at his phone.
In the first half, Arsenal launched several waves of offensive attempts to score away goals.
But Atletico Madrid's defense was tenacious, and forward Morata seized an offensive opportunity. If it weren't for his poor shooting skills, the score might have been changed!
In the second half, Atletico Madrid finally changed their tactics. They suddenly pressed out as a whole and began to attack Arsenal's half.
The Arsenal penalty area suddenly became noisy!
Fang Fang looked very anxious and couldn't sit still on the bench. He was afraid that Arsenal would be eliminated by Atletico Madrid before he even came on the field!
Finally, at the fifty-fifth minute,
Professor Wenger finally turned around, waved to him, and said with a smile: "It seems that I deliberately prevented you from playing. Well, don't sit there anymore. Go and play as an attacking midfielder. Go and finish this damn game." Get the game! We need you!!"
The professor hasn't finished speaking yet.
After Fang Fang heard the word "come on stage", his eyes instantly lit up and he hurried to warm up!
Sure enough, the professor still trusted him!
Fang Fang has long been tempted to rush onto the field! I just want to win hard against Atletico Madrid who are as hard as a turtle shell! At the same time, break all the doubts from the outside world!
As for why the professor never allowed him to play, he didn't want to worry about it anymore!
Because they must win this game!
"This kid is almost exhausted!" The assistant teacher said with a helpless smile as he looked at Fang Fang like a wild beast out of its cage.
Professor Wenger sighed, "It's because our lineup is not good. With his talent, he will only be more powerful than he is now!"
“The Orientals come on stage???”
On the other side, after Simeone saw Fang Fang coming on, he stood up from the bench and no longer sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Hurrying to the sidelines, Simeone began to carefully observe which position the equation was playing!
Just thinking about how to take action
Suddenly, Simeone trembled all over and saw on the playing field that after just three touches of the ball, Fang Fang suddenly moved forward quickly, like a sharp blade coming out of its sheath, piercing their most vulnerable part!
The wind whistled in my ears.
After Fang Fang intercepted the ball, he decisively made a back pass, and then rushed towards the opponent's half in an instant!
Although he only touched the ball three times on the field, he was the best choice every time.
Including this time!
With the wind blowing in front of me, there was a faint exclamation from the whole audience!
Equation's heart stabilized instantly!
If there is no mistake, it should be his teammates who sent him an accurate long pass!
Sure enough, when he raised his head, he saw an arc falling towards him in the air.
Long ball is like precision guidance!
If the equation guess is correct, this should be from captain Xhaka!
While running at extremely high speed, he had already surpassed several defenders in a straight line, as fast as the wind!
Faced with this long ball,
Fang Fang chose to trust his instinct, stretched out his right foot slightly, and just touched it lightly!
The falling football seemed to be stuck to the shoe, without any bounce!
The football then rolled lightly in front of him!
Instantly, the whole place was in an uproar!
Fang Fang received a long pass and ran long distance as if he was in no one's land! ! !
There is also a defensive player Godin next to him!
Equation takes a determined stride towards the ball,
Under the shocked eyes of everyone in the audience, he suddenly used his full physical strength and extreme speed to eat up Godin's pursuit!
Goalkeeper Oblak was so frightened that he rushed to the penalty area in an attempt to intercept his opponent.
However, Fang Fang didn't give him a chance and decisively moved the ball.
After getting rid of the goalkeeper's frontal defense, he shot directly!
The force used was so determined that it almost threw the whole person out.
With a loud noise, the football flew towards the opponent's goal without mercy!
Then, this goal lifted the entire net high!
silence!
The entire Civitas Metropolitan Stadium was silent!
There was only a small area where the Arsenal fans who had come from the expedition were shouting and celebrating wildly!
In the 59th minute, Arsenal took the lead by one goal! !
Fang Fang ran to the sidelines and celebrated with a perfect kneelover.
Only this time, he looked at the cameras on the sidelines, raised his right hand, and put his open palm to his ear.
His eyes were filled with unprecedented contempt.
It's like declaring war on everyone who doubts them!
