The Christian Rodriguez that Simeone replaced was once also a player with the name of genius.

Christian Rodriguez's English name begins with a letter C, and Rodriguez's pronunciation is somewhat similar to Ronaldo. He was once called "C Ronaldo" in Uruguay

He has all the feet to be a star, amazing speed, fast pace, very good at passing people.His shooting ability is also good. He once scored 2008 goals in 700 games. For this reason, he got the attention of Porto in [-], and finally spent [-] million euros to win him.

During the 2010 World Cup qualifiers in South Africa, Uruguay coach Tabarez once wanted to build a team to hit the World Cup with him as the core.But it soon proved that Christian Rodriguez was just Christian Rodriguez, not C Ronaldo. He was often obsessed with his dribbling in the game. Those who shoot, never pass.

In modern football, sticking the ball has become a feature hated by major coaches. He will delay the team's attack speed, and it is easy for the opponent to steal the ball and counterattack.

Therefore, although Christian Rodriguez has a strong personal ability, he is only a substitute player in Atletico Madrid. A more correct description should be a role player.

But it also depends on how to use it. Simeone has played the role of Christian Rodriguez to the fullest this time.

Cristian Rodriguez clinging to the ball?

It doesn't matter, anyway, he is basically alone in the frontcourt counterattack, and one of Cork or Jose Sosa is added if it is great.

On the contrary, Christian Rodriguez, who has unlimited ball possession and firing power, performed quite bravely. He successfully broke through multiple people several times, which put a lot of pressure on Liverpool's defense.

Just 2 minutes later, in the 806th minute of the game, Papastathopoulos had to stop Christian Rodriguez for a tactical foul, for which he was shown a yellow card by Rizzoli and awarded A pretty good free kick from Atlético Madrid.

…………

Commentator: "Liverpool's situation is quite bad! Now the offense has no way to break through Atletico Madrid's gate, and the game time is getting closer and closer to the end, and the defense line has been successfully broken by Christian Rodriguez frequently. If this continues, Maybe they will be defeated by Atletico Madrid!"

Carragher had a serious expression: "Although Christian Rodriguez is a great threat, now Liverpool have no choice but to watch the performance of the two central defenders and the goalkeeper Navas. Liverpool must break through Atletico Madrid's gate , otherwise they will be eliminated by their opponents!"

…………

Atlético Madrid saw that the free kick position was quite good, and some players were also ready to move, hoping to score another goal.

Simeone also hesitated on the sidelines, and he finally decided to take a little risk.Many teams leave only two or three players in the backcourt when setting the ball, but there are not many opportunities for the opponent to break through the goal.

Offensive players are not stupid. They find that the opponent has a chance to counterattack. At the cost of getting a yellow card, they directly pull down the opponent's counterattack player immediately.

Especially now for Atletico Madrid players, they are not afraid of yellow cards.It was 86 minutes when Papastathopoulos fouled, but it was 87 minutes when the set kick was taken. It is not long before the end of the game, and there is only a small probability that he will get a second yellow card.

Atletico Madrid's two central defenders, Miranda and Godin, both came up. They are both players with very strong header ability.

Cork took the free kick himself. Instead of hitting the goal directly, he passed the ball to Miranda and Godin in the middle.

Liverpool's air defense was not ambiguous. Stones jumped high and pushed the football out before Miranda and Godin.

Liverpool has reached the point of breaking the boat, so even if Atletico Madrid players get together in the Liverpool penalty area this time, Liverpool still leaves three players on the periphery to grab the second point.

The second point of the ball happened to be grabbed by Pirlo. Atletico Madrid reacted very quickly. At the first moment, Atletico Madrid players rushed to Pirlo, and the idea was very firm, which was to use a foul to end Liverpool's counterattack opportunity. .Anyway, this is Liverpool's half-court. Unless there is a bad foul here, the referee will generally not show a yellow card.

But Pirlo's reaction was faster. He didn't mean to stop the ball at all. Facing the falling football, he made a diagonal pass and found the winger Griezmann who was sprinting forward quickly.

Liverpool's transition from defense to offense was very fast, so fast that it was assisting long-range shots at the time, and Atletico Madrid's midfielder Raul Garcia, who was also part-time marking Griezmann, could not react at all. When he turned around and chased Griezmann's At that time, all he was left with was a back view.

Although Pirlo did not stop the ball and adjust it, he directly kicked the ball, but the master is the master. His pass is very comfortable. After Griezmann started, he did not need to slow down. Atletico Madrid sprint to the half.

In front of Griezmann, there are two midfielders Mario Suarez and Thiago staying in the backcourt, and they are waiting.

Griezmann scanned the surroundings with the corner of his eyes, and he found that his teammates followed up very fast, Lewandowski had already rushed up, and Pirlo was slightly behind.

This also greatly increased Griezmann's confidence. With his teammates, he has greater confidence in passing the ball or breaking through by himself!
When Griezmann was less than five meters away from Mario Suarez, Griezmann suddenly slowed down, as if he was about to pass the ball. Wandowski, even Mario Suarez thinks Griezmann is really going to pass the ball to Lewandowski.

After all, there is not one person in front of him, but two Atletico Madrid midfielders!

Griezmann wants to single-handedly pass the two-person defense in one breath, which is a hell-level task!
Just when Mario Suarez changed direction and was about to run towards Lewandowski, Griezmann suddenly poked the ball forward, and a rapid acceleration rushed between Mario Suarez and Thiago. past.

Neither Mario Suarez nor Thiago thought that Griezmann would dare to choose to break through from the middle of the two. Almost subconsciously, both of them moved closer to the middle, trying to close the door instead of fouling Griezmann.

However, only Thiago made an interception among the two, and he stretched out his foot to block Griezmann's breakthrough.

It's not that Mario Suarez has poor defensive awareness. It's that his body's center of gravity is not here. He was going to run in the direction of Lewandowski before. The body has no time to move.

This gave Griezmann a chance. Griezmann jumped during the run and crossed Thiago's long legs to intercept.

Mario Suarez wanted to bring down Griezmann, but Griezmann was smart enough to know that Mario Suarez might stop him with a foul, and he was in the air, and he slammed his right hand back and hit Mali O Suarez's hand, although it didn't open Mario Suarez's hand just like that, it was enough for Mario Suarez to grab it in the air.
