After the whistle sounded, the players of both sides stopped the game and started walking towards the locker room.

However, the players of both sides were in completely different states at this time.

The players of Atletico Madrid were full of energy, talking and laughing.

The players of Real Betis had solemn expressions.

If you didn't know, you would think that Atletico Madrid was leading at this time.

The Atletico players who returned to the locker room, except Adrian, all looked happy.

But no one cares about Adrian.

Because you are not strong enough on the court, you can't help the team, and you always drag your feet, then you will face exclusion from your teammates.

As the player who broke the deadlock for the team, Lin Rui was naturally treated with courtesy by his teammates.

This made Adrian even more unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.

Just as the players were laughing and joking, Simeone pushed the door and walked in with a gloomy face.

Seeing Simeone's face, the locker room that was just lively suddenly became quiet.

"Gentlemen, it seems that you are very satisfied with the first half of the game."

Simeone's tone was a little cold, which made the players who heard it feel nervous.

Seeing that everyone was serious, Simeone slowly said,"What I want to tell you is that it is too early for you to relax now. No, it should be said that it is stupid. Because the current situation is that we are still one goal behind. Remember! We are still the pursuers. Don't think that we can easily score in the second half just because we beat the opponent in the last few minutes of the first half."

"I tell you, if you think so, you are totally wrong! The second half of the game is not that easy. Our opponent is in our home court, a team that has scored two goals against us. They are not as weak as you think. I ask you to remember this!"

Simeone's voice became more and more severe, and in the end he was basically stern.

A group of Atletico Madrid players lowered their heads one by one after what he said.

They were indeed a little too proud of themselves just now.

Seeing that the players realized their problems, Simeone softened his tone

"Of course, while we value our opponents, we cannot be timid. In the second half, the opponents will definitely defend desperately, hold on to the advantage of one ball, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack us. What we need to do is to break their dense defense."

"In the second half, we played long passes and sent the ball over Lin's head."

"Lin, I want to use your body to resist the opponent's defensive players, and then form a fulcrum. If there is a chance, shoot yourself. If there is no chance, create a chance for your teammates to shoot. Can you do it?"

Simeone looked at Lin Rui with a questioning look in his eyes.

"No problem!"

Lin Rui's answer was straightforward.

This made Simeone very satisfied. A smile finally appeared on his originally serious face, and he nodded and said:"Lin, I want to commend you for your performance in the first half. You have completed the task I assigned to you very well, allowing us to hold on to our opponents tightly. I hope your performance is not a flash in the pan."

"Don't worry, boss! I will complete the task."Lin Rui's voice was not loud, but very firm.

Simeone nodded with a smile, and then began to arrange the tasks that other players needed to undertake.

When he finished explaining everyone's responsibilities, the halftime break was almost over.

Soon, the players from both sides returned to the field.

With the referee's whistle, the game resumed.

The situation in the second half of the game was just as Simeone expected. Real Betis began to shrink its formation from the beginning and resolutely played a defensive counterattack.

It seems that they want to hold on to the advantage of this ball.

For this situation, Mad The players of Atletico Madrid were well prepared.

Simeone's arrangement during the halftime break was not in vain.

They directly started the long pass style.

This immediately made the whole game scene rough in style, completely losing the unique passing and control characteristics of La Liga teams. In the 49th minute of the game, Turan made a direct cross after going down the left side and kicked the ball to the middle of the penalty area. Lin Rui overpowered Amaya and Martinez and headed the ball.

However, this time his header failed to hold down the ball, and the ball hit the top of the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Seeing that the ball did not go in, Lin Rui shook his arms in annoyance.

The 5th minute of the game In the 3rd minute, Gabi was tripped by a defender in the frontcourt, and Atletico Madrid won a free kick in the frontcourt.

This position is more than 40 meters away from the goal, and it is close to the wing, so there is no way to shoot directly, so Lin Rui did not think about taking a free kick, but ran into the penalty area, ready to compete for the header.

Raul Garcia took a free kick.

The free kick he kicked drew an arc and went straight to the left side of the goal.

At the same time as the ball was sent out, Lin Rui judged the landing point of the ball, and then rushed directly to the landing point.

Amaya and Martinez, who were following him, also started at the same time and followed him closely. While the two men were catching up with Lin Rui, they were making small movements with their hands.

Amaya secretly pulled the corner of Lin Rui's clothes, trying to affect his sprinting speed, while Martinez took advantage of Lin Rui's forward momentum and pushed him secretly.

With this push and pull, if it were an ordinary player, he would have lost his balance long ago.

But Lin Rui is not an ordinary person after all. His body only staggered slightly before he stabilized his body.

And after he stabilized his body, he saw the right time to stop suddenly, and Martinez, who was rushing forward, hit him on the back.

Martinez immediately felt���He hit a wall and almost couldn't lift his body. At the same time, his body fell out under the reaction force.

Lin Rui used the force of the collision to continue to accelerate forward, holding Amaya who was competing with him for position with his body, and jumped up to compete for the ball.

Amaya was squeezed away when he was competing for position with Lin Rui.

In desperation, he could only pull Lin Rui's clothes and try to pull him down.

But he underestimated Lin Rui's perversion.

Instead of pulling Lin Rui down, he was dragged to one side, and fell to the ground with his feet mixed.

At this time, the football had already flown over, and Lin Rui jumped high, shook his head directly, and headed the ball towards the goal.

This time, Lin Rui's header hit the goal range, but due to Amaya's interference just now, it still affected the angle of his header. This ball was headed straight and was directly saved by the goalkeeper of Real Betis.

Seeing his shot being blocked again, Lin Rui cursed unconsciously.

At this time, the two Real Betis defenders who were defending him got up from the ground and looked at Lin Rui with indignation and solemnity. The pressure Lin Rui put on them was too great.

Amaya, a strong man of more than 1.9 meters, was actually taken off balance by Lin Rui, a guy who looked a circle smaller than him.

Not to mention Martinez, a small body. Now he can't even stand up straight.

This guy is too scary!

However, after several confrontations, several defensive players of Real Betis have adapted to Lin Rui's style of play.

Although Lin Rui's strength is not something they can fight against, the footwork of this big guy is hard to describe.

So when defending the opponent, these defenders can concentrate on defending Lin Rui's upper three roads, without having to defend his lower three roads too much.

In this way, their defensive pressure will be slightly less.

In addition, the familiarity with Lin Rui is constantly deepening, and there are more ways to defend.

For example, when competing with Lin Rui for the header, don't try to go head-on with the opponent, but use some tricks, such as pulling and tugging, or secretly hitting the opponent when the opponent jumps up, so that his header is not so comfortable.

Although this cannot win Lin Rui's header, it can affect the quality of the opponent's header.

For example, just now, although Lin Rui successfully squeezed Amaya and Martinez away, Amaya still succeeded in pulling Lin Rui's collar in a hidden position.

This resulted in Lin Rui's header not being fully deployed, so it was saved by the goalkeeper.

At this time, Lin Rui was also a little annoyed. Although he could easily squeeze the opponent's defensive players, the defenders in La Liga were all experienced.

Those defensive tricks are easy to use and are not easy to be discovered by the referee.

Lin Rui has been disturbed by these tricks several times, and his several shots have been missed.

This gave Lin Rui a headache, but he knew that this was a difficulty he had to overcome.

If these methods can't deal with it, then he will have no way to gain a foothold in the La Liga.

Because a power forward with only one method is not a necessity for a team.

So now he needs to think of a solution.
