Chapter 143 Substitution
The time is July 3th.

Atletico Madrid away to Athletic Bilbao.

Since this game is 3 days away, it will be the Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona. Although the match against Athletic Bilbao is also very important, this game has a lineup with all the main players in the backcourt and a rotation in the frontcourt. , Wang Yu rested, and Turan started.

Turan knew that he was not very happy to start. He even hoped that Wang Yu would start this time, because then he would be able to start in the Champions League.

But I actually started this game, which means that Wang Yu must be the starter in the next Champions League. The reason why I started this time is also because Simeone wants Wang Yu to rest and face Barcelona better.

Thinking about it this way, the joy of starting the game suddenly disappeared.What is the main force? Turan is very clear. Isn't it the main force who starts the key games and important games?

At this moment, Turan was full of energy, and he decided to show his strength in this game and prove himself to Simeone again.

With such thoughts in mind, Turan stood on the field full of desire.

But as soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid was hit.

Athletic Bilbao's offense was too fast. Miranda didn't pay attention to maintaining his position for a while, and was directly broken by his opponent. Miranda was very anxious and hurriedly chased back, but seeing that Athletic Bilbao's players were almost there In the penalty area, Miranda decided not to let his opponent enter the penalty area, so he stepped decisively.

But the Athletic Bilbao striker fell to the ground, covering his calf with a painful expression.Then the referee rushed over, and Miranda quickly stood up and defended something.

However, after watching the Athletic Bilbao striker for a while, the referee heard some suggestions in the headset, and then the referee began to dig out his pockets.

Miranda only felt that she was dead on her back today, and this kind of thing would happen to her.

But what Simeone thinks off the court is that if you stand in a good position and stay consistent with the defense line, then the opponent's pass is an offside ball, now.

The referee took out a yellow card.

Miranda was stunned, and wanted to explain to the referee.

But the referee said to Miranda: "You are the last defensive player. You shoveled and missed the ball. You said you gave me a reason why you were not sent off with a red card."

Miranda still wanted to defend himself, but Godin came over and pulled Miranda away, saying to him, "Go down and rest, we will win."

After seeing Godin comforting Miranda, Gabi didn't pass by himself, but just patted Miranda when he was off the court.

Although Simeone knew that Miranda's foul was very stupid, but when it was time to encourage the players, he should be encouraged, not only for the players who were encouraged, but also for the players on the field. This foul was stupid, but not It means that all fouls are stupid, and sometimes a yellow card is a good deal to destroy a particularly good offensive opportunity for the opponent.

What Simeone is most afraid of is blind fouling and non-fouling.

The form on the field is difficult to play.

Simeone had to replace a striker with a central defender. This young striker who was promoted from the youth team was a little nervous and unwilling. After all, he only played for less than 10 minutes and he didn't touch the ball a few times. He was replaced. If he returned to the youth team, he would not be laughed to death?

Jimenez was substituted.

Jimenez thought to himself that if he played two games in a row, although this was an accident, he might have a chance in the next game.

Off the field, Alderweireld was a little helpless and a little angry, and he didn't change himself when he was replaced by such a young central defender.

It seems that I have no future here.

For the first time, Alderweireld has the intention of leaving Atletico Madrid.

The situation on the court is still dominated by Athletic Bilbao. The free kick just now was in a great position, only 18 meters away from the goal.Very close, suitable for direct free kicks.

Athletic Bilbao's striker stands in front of the ball.

He is the first free kicker in the Athletic Bilbao team.

He backed up slowly, took a step to the left, and then started a run-up forward, kicking his right foot into the middle of the ball.

Wang Yu saw the striker's touch position through the big screen on the field.

Is this going to be a shot?Wang Yu thought to himself.

And Courtois's reaction also told him the answer.

The ball went around the wall and flew into the goal quickly from the right side of the wall.

Courtois could only stand there in a daze.

Immediately, the audience erupted into cheers.

In 13 minutes, Athletic Bilbao took the lead at the leader Atletico Madrid.

Such a situation, the fans of Athletic Bilbao did not expect it at all before the game.

Godin vented his emotions angrily.

Simeone on the sidelines was quite calm. He said to Boggs: "Look at the second half. If we can't equalize the score, we will have to make a substitution in the second half."

Boggs naturally knew who he was talking about. He had been friends for many years, and he immediately saw Wang Yu who was watching the game seriously on the bench.

It's you in the second half.

Turan is a little irritable. After losing the striker in the frontcourt, there are a lot fewer forward passes. Atletico Madrid's offense is now starting to go to Rodriguez on the right.Since Turan's side is the opponent's main attack area, Atletico Madrid doesn't play much.

This made Turan a little nervous, what if he couldn't get the ball at halftime.

He also knew in his heart that this situation was terrible for the current Atletico Madrid.

It's not just a problem of one less player, but also a goal. If you want to continue to occupy the leading position in the standings, you must win this game, which means that you have to play with one less player. Score two goals and make sure the opponent can't score any more.

Turan knows how difficult this is when he thinks about it. For him, it has been 41 minutes in the first half. During this time, he has been asking for the ball, but his defense is really dense. Turan There was even an illusion that the other side was targeting him.

But until the end of the first half, Turan didn't get many chances.

Simeone kept thinking in the locker room that if he wanted to replace Wang Yu, he could take advantage of his breakthrough.

But there is a problem that this time Wang Yu should take a rest in the first place, if he is forced to replace him, he is afraid that he will not rest well and the game will not be won.

But then I thought about it again, if this game can't be won, how much psychological advantage will it give Barcelona.In this way, in the next Champions League game against Barcelona, ​​the opponent will suppress us in terms of momentum.

And if you lose this game.

Atletico Madrid will be tied in the league at once.In this way, the advantage that was so hard to maintain is gone.

So, after much deliberation, Simeone decided to make a substitution.
