Chapter 514 Leading Seville
Back in the league, in the two games before facing Sevilla, Atletico Madrid defeated Valladolid and Espanyol 3:0 and 4:0 respectively.The team has adjusted its state to the best, and the main players have also been fully rested.

Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 2:1 in the first round of the Copa del Rey, but gave the opponent an away goal. If Sevilla returns home and scores a goal, Atletico Madrid will be in danger.

As a result, they were afraid of what would happen. Atletico Madrid scored a goal by Sevilla just after the start.

"Just 6 minutes into the game! Sevilla broke through the goal guarded by Courtois through a wonderful ground coordination!"

As soon as the game started, the two teams entered the game state very early, and created various opportunities in just a few minutes.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Caesar made a cross from the side and Costa hit the post with a header, which shocked the fans of the Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan Stadium into a cold sweat.

However, Sevilla, who played at home, was obviously the luckier side. The post hit by Costa was still shaking slightly, and Sevilla scored a goal.

Goalkeeper Beto gave the ball to Navas on the right. Everyone knows that Caesar + Koke + Felipe Luis' Atletico Madrid's left corridor is quite powerful. Sevilla simply retaliated and used offense to suppress the offense.

They put the combination of Navas + Reyes on their right, and at the same time, Rakitic in the center is also closer to this road.

This tactic of using violence to control violence was obviously quite successful. Navas gave the ball to Rakitic who responded. Cork wanted to grab the ball, but the speed was a little slower. Rakitic gave the ball to Moreno in the middle ahead of time.

Keylor Navas has already stepped in, while Negredo and Kondogbia also rushed into the box quickly.

For a while, the wind in front of Atletico Madrid was jittery, as if they were facing a big enemy.

Navas is quite calm-minded. Godin and Miranda blocked his passing route. Even if Negredo went around to respond, Godin would definitely stop him.

Rather.
"Keylor Navas swept in front of the goal! He gave a pass back! The inverted triangle came in front of the goal! Reyes came in! Hit the goal!"

With such a short distance and Reyes hitting an absolute dead corner, even Courtois couldn't save the ball.

The Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium burst into cheers instantly, and they took the initiative in the two rounds of the game after only 6 minutes into the game!
This conceded goal obviously annoyed Simeone. As the season approached, the team always had such inexplicable conceded goals.

The ability of the players is enough, but obviously the mentality has not been adjusted well.

Reyes appeared in Vidal's defensive area, and captain Gabi also bears certain responsibilities. He did not form a tacit understanding with Vidal and rushed into the penalty area to help defend, but missed Reyes behind him.

"Concentrate! Don't give your opponent this chance again!" Gabi slapped her hands vigorously. The team has the strength to beat Sevilla, but if the mentality is not balanced, it is easy to capsize in the gutter.

Fortunately, 5 minutes later, Caesar used an in-cut shot to break through the city of Seville.

Now the score became 1:1, and the total score of the two rounds became 3:2, with Atletico Madrid leading the way.

However, Simeone is not satisfied with this. The lead of one goal is just one goal. It only takes one successful attack for Sevilla to equalize the score.

"Press up! Don't give them too many chances!" Simeone stood on the sidelines and personally supervised the battle. This physical signal also told the players that I am very dissatisfied with this score.

This time Sevilla is out of luck. Atletico Madrid generally don't come out to attack. To be on the safe side, they prefer to strike late.

However, this does not mean that Atletico Madrid will not attack. On the contrary, their offensive is quite sharp. Even the top line of defense may not be able to stop the cavalry of Atletico Madrid players.

"Cork shifted from the wing! Give it to C. Rodriguez on the right! After Turan was injured, C. Rodriguez, who was sitting on the bench, also got a chance to play!"

Originally Simeone wanted to use Saul, but the kid sprained his ankle during warm-up before the game, which gave Ronaldo a chance to play.

Simeone was a little worried about Ronaldo's state. After all, it is normal to ask him to play temporarily, even if he does not perform well.

The one defending Ronaldo is also called Kirk, but this Kirk is a defender with a clear mind.He is good at intercepting the opponent's passing route. Compared with the desperate defense of one-on-one shoveling, he prefers to stand still and delay the opponent's attack.

C. Robben wanted to hit Cork with speed, but the opponent was in a good position, and he would only fall into his defensive trap if he accelerated rashly.

Just as Rodriguez was about to pass back, a figure suddenly appeared behind Cork.

"Diego Costa came over! Rodriguez gave him the ball! Costa faced Botia's defense and smashed inside!"

Every team that deals with Atletico Madrid regards defending Caesar as the top priority.

However, they often overlook another Atletico striker, Diego Costa.

His technique is already quite good at this height, this time the spike was very fast, Botia didn't react, and he got out of the way for a shot.

"Stop him!"

Beto hurriedly called his teammates to block Costa's shot, and Botia and Fasio hurriedly flanked.

However, Costa's raised calf was just a fake move. Facing the opponent's flanking attack, he chose to smash the ball again, and he completely threw away the defense twice in a row with 90° spikes.

"Excellent! Only goalkeeper Beto is in front of Costa!"

Facing Costa, who had already connected two people, Beto really didn't have the confidence to stop his shot.

The ball crashed into the net, and the score expanded to 2:1.

"This is Diego Costa's solo performance! A very exciting dribble and shot! If you don't look carefully, you may think it's Caesar holding the ball!"

"I didn't expect you to score such a difficult goal." Kirk patted Costa on the back of the head. The ball didn't look like it was made by a person who is nearly 190cm tall.

"Is it difficult?" Costa stood with his hips on his hips, very proud.

Now the score has become 2:1, and the advantage of the total score has also expanded to two goals.

Only then did Simeone express his satisfaction, and sat back in his seat.

The total score of 4:2 ensures that Atletico Madrid can advance, but can Sevilla, who is playing at home, agree?

The last time the two teams met, there was a penalty shootout, and the Sevilla fans were a little unconvinced.

This time at his own home court, if he still can't win Atletico Madrid, I'm afraid the fans of the home team will tear down the club's old den.

During the intermission, the Sevilla coach dispatched his troops and replaced a defensive midfielder with an offensive player. He was ready to fight for the second half.
