The 6th minute of the game.
The 19-year-old Argentinian teenager Salvio received a pass from Simão on the right wing.
Atletico Madrid people have begun to move slowly towards the penalty area, waiting for the cross.
Facing Osasuna full-back Monreal in front of him, he made a bicycle pass.
His mind was filled with the success of one goal and he didn't take the opponent seriously at all.
I pedaled the bicycle twice in a row and moved the instep of my right foot outwards, trying to break through from the right side.
Unexpectedly, Monreal on the opposite side was left-handed and his dominant foot was his left foot. He made a clean tackle and intercepted the ball directly.
Before Salvio could react, the ball was lost.
Osasuna's counterattack...
Standing on the sidelines was Camacho, an old acquaintance of future Chinese fans.
This eldest brother started coaching the national football team in the summer of 2011 and created the tragedy of a 0:8 defeat to Brazil and a disgrace to the national football team's 1:5 defeat of Thailand.
The annual salary of 4.5 million euros was given away in exchange for this buddy.
It was also because of him that Lindy was turned away from the country.
At this time, Camacho had a smile on his face. He had painstakingly studied for more than ten days in order to play against Atletico Madrid in the away game.
Although Atletico Madrid made a temporary change of formation, it was harmless.
The core of Camacho's game is to put it bluntly, there are three parts: defeat, counterattack, and victory.
Unlike the previous game, where Almeria relied purely on speed, Osasuna's counterattack was much more stable.
After Monreal stole the ball, he did not quickly attack Atletico Madrid's hinterland.
Instead, he cooperates with his teammates in the backcourt and prepares to advance steadily.
After all, Odonker, who is the fastest inside, is injured, and other players are good at positional combat.
This is also because Osasuna does not have a defensive midfielder. All five of their midfielders are offensive.
Inheriting Spain's consistent style of play, he follows a technical flow route and pays attention to coordination.
However, when the football was just passed to the feet of attacking midfielder Camunas, the small Spanish midfielder was knocked and staggered.
It's Lindy. As a protective midfielder, the core point is to press on the spot when the ball is lost in the frontcourt.
When he saw Salvio trying to pass, he realized something was wrong.
This young man was extremely excited when he was in the tunnel.
Lindy knew that this kind of excitement was a landmine when his strength was insufficient, so he was always on guard.
Sure enough, the ball was lost.
Lindy saw the right moment and rushed towards Camunas. After he received the ball, he went up to press from the side.
Camunas does not stick to the ball. Before the game, the head coach repeatedly emphasized that Atletico Madrid has a new Chinese player who is very good in defense, especially in stealing.
He quickly took the ball and passed it to the midfielder Hopenas who came to respond.
But Lindy pushed forward again. While running, something seemed to flash in his mind.
Suddenly he shouted to his companions behind him, "Come here, everyone!"
You know, this is still in the opponent's half, not even in the center circle.
That roar passed through the crowd and spread throughout the stadium.
Seeing that his teammates hadn't moved yet, Lindy shouted loudly again, "Why don't you come here and grab us!"
After a brief daze, everyone at Atletico Madrid turned around unconsciously and returned to Osasuna's half to counterattack on the spot. They did not feel at all that Lindy had overstepped the mark.
There is a difference between a full-court press and a counter-attack on the spot. Let's see where Barcelona was strong in those years. Through technical advantages, they can counter-attack at a high position and beat whoever they catch.
Originally, if Osasuna adopted a quick counter-attack tactic and entered the opponent's half with just a few kicks, the effect might have been OK.
But now Osasuna, under the leadership of Aunt Camacho, has launched a technical counterattack.
As the saying goes, no matter how good the technology is, it will be defeated by a shovel.
Everyone in Atletico Madrid seemed to have some genes activated by this roar.
They were like soldiers who heard the charge on the battlefield, led by Lindy.
Jurado, Simao, Salaovi, Assuncao, and Fran are the second echelon.
Lopez and Bale are behind as the third echelon.
From the beginning of jogging, gradually, everyone's momentum seemed to be connected together.
Eight people accelerated and sprinted at the same time in an instant, sweeping towards Osasuna's half like a wave.
The fans at the scene went crazy at that moment. They felt extremely unfamiliar with the Atletico Madrid in front of them.
Just two weeks ago, they lost to Chelsea with a huge score of 0:4. In the frontcourt, they had no way to defeat the opponent.
But the current Atletico Madrid, is this still the Atletico Madrid they know? What kind of magic does Flores bring to this team?
Amid the crazy cheers, someone took the lead in singing Atletico Madrid's team anthem:
Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Atlético Madrid.
.....
Fight and win like you are the best!
.....
Not long after, the entire audience sang the Atletico Madrid team anthem in unison, louder than at the beginning. The Osasuna fans, like the players on the field, have not yet realized what is going on.
Everyone at Atletico Madrid seemed to regard the team song as a war song and rushed to intercept in the frontcourt.
Before everyone in Osasuna could react, several people were on the left side of the penalty area, using their numerical advantage to surround several defenders of the opponent and press them.
"Atletico Madrid's young player Salvio had the ball intercepted when he was trying to pass. Hey, he is still too young.
Oh, Lindy came up to fight back, but he couldn't make a sound.
Eh? He seemed to be yelling something at his teammates who were returning to defense.
Wow wow wow wow, what did I see? Atletico Madrid players, led by Lindy,
Turning over and running towards Osasuna's half, they charged towards the enemy's position like brave and fearless warriors!
Steal the ball! Chance!
One of Lindy's tackles intercepted defender Jose Teso's pass and shoved it towards Jurado.
Jurado! Jurado! Beautiful pass, he cuts into the penalty area!
Pass the ball! Fran!
The ball went in! ! ! !
Only 8 minutes into the game, Atletico led 1:0! "Old Liu in the studio rubbed his eyes. There has been no Chinese player since 2002 that made his blood boil and he couldn't control himself.
After two minutes of tongue-twisting, the live commentary finally changed to, "Goooo... al!!!"
"Fran!"
The whole stadium was in a complete uproar, and the entire stadium was enveloped in terrifying cheers and screams.
When the security personnel outside the field heard the sound, they couldn't help but wave their fists, "YE, we scored a goal!"
The players of Atletico Madrid all hugged each other on the field. This was a collective victory. Everyone excitedly went up and patted Forlan on the head.
Frelos, who was on the sidelines, put his head in his hands and was extremely excited. He was not only excited about this goal.
He saw the future of Atletico Madrid, and at the same time he was afraid. It would have been unimaginable if he had not insisted on introducing Lindy at that time.
In the past, Atletico Madrid had no so-called core midfielder.
The only offensive core may be Big Brother Fran.
Therefore, there is no unified dispatch in Atletico Madrid's midfield.
But now, Atletico seems to have found a heart for itself...
