Compared with the atmosphere in Atletico Madrid's locker room, the Miners' side is much more relaxed.
Even if Atletico Madrid equalized the score at the end of the first half, it would not hurt.
They have already qualified for the group stage, and this game is more for the fans, so there is no pressure.
However, head coach Lucescu has endured a lot of pressure from public opinion, especially the British media.
All kinds of comments point to them letting loose in this game. For this reason, the club's senior management has been under tremendous pressure, and this pressure has been passed on to the head coach.
He doesn't plan to make major adjustments in the second half of the game. These Brazilians are eager to prove themselves in Shakhtar, so let them work hard for it!
"I would like to emphasize one more point to you. Although there will be no water on the turf, it will definitely be slippery, so you need to prevent injuries!" Lucescu raised his voice while looking at the people playing around.
…
During halftime, the stadium was cleared of snow again.
But the wind and snow above the Donbas Arena are still non-stop, and the endless heavy snow seems to fill the stadium.
After discussion with the referee team, the fourth official stated that the game will continue. The current temperature has reached minus 9 degrees.
During the halftime break, Lindy also checked the skill [One person passes the ball and the whole court panics], and found that it was dim and was in the CD period.
There were not many weapons available in the second half, and sometimes he was impatient, but there was really nothing he could do.
He is not good at dribbling for breakthroughs and hitting from long range with heavy artillery. How can he finally find an offensive skill, or is it his stupid passing that makes people panic?
First, stabilize your defense. I am a waist, and I am very strong. A strong waist means winning!
It's over, infected by the Han Biao system.
The game starts soon.
Atletico Madrid's substitutes have already begun to warm up. In this kind of weather, there is a high probability of injury if temporary substitutions are made without warm-up.
Changing sides to fight again, Atletico Madrid's morale was re-energized during the halftime break, and they launched a fierce attack on the Shakhtar team at the beginning of the second half.
The 48th minute of the game.
Atletico Madrid got an opportunity on the right wing, and Simao broke through Ilsinho and Guy consecutively and passed the football to the center.
But Aguero, who followed up later, failed to grab the first point under the influence of central defender Hubsmann.
The football was destroyed and Atletico Madrid got the first corner kick of the game.
Lindy was eager to give it a try. He stood at the arc of the penalty area and made the three sign to Ximang. The latter understood it and made the same three sign.
Then a kick hit the bottom of the football hard, and the football flew straight towards the goal without any arc at all.
At this time, Lindy had already sprinted from near the penalty area line, and then jumped high.
"The corner kick has been taken, it's Lindy from the front, he rushed up, eh? Midfielder Mariusz jumped the ball before Lindy!" Old Duan's voice sounded a little regretful.
"We can see that Mariusz has been ambushing in the penalty area. He has not been staring at other people. He has been staring at Lindy. It seems that he was on guard. It has to be said that Lindy does have very few offensive methods. "
Old Liu has become a big fan of Lindy, and he is a little unhappy when he sees this: "It is good for a player to do one thing well in his career. At least Lindy has improved Atletico Madrid's defensive strength. The midfielder can serve as a defender." The hub for switching offense and the dam for switching from offense to defense, at least what Lindy did was still up to standard."
The fans are not happy either:
[The victory or defeat of the team depends entirely on one person? From now on, let's change football to heads-up. Maybe the men's football team will win the World Cup! When have we ever been afraid of solo projects? ]
[The defensive midfielder focuses on defense, and it is normal to occasionally draw a knife to help. Why don't you let the goalkeeper take a shot? ]
…
Simao took the corner kick again. This time Lindy was not interfered by the Shakhtar players, but the ball was kicked high and flew over the middle of the crowd to the back point.
Reyes jumped up from behind and pointed the ball towards Jurado outside the penalty area.
Jurado is not good at heading the ball, so he was looking for opportunities on the periphery. He received Reyes' header and wanted to take a long shot.
The windy and snowy weather was really unfriendly to Spanish players with their skills, but he keenly noticed that there seemed to be a gap in the penalty area.
Without saying a word, Jurado passed the ball directly over the crowd and flew towards Aguero in the penalty area?
"Hey, hey, the ball was passed to Aguero! But it seems like the pass was too big!"
Aguero saw a pass from Jurado in the penalty area, and instinctively took a long step forward and poked with his toes. The football rolled between his legs and into the goal before goalkeeper Piatov made a save!
The latter could only look back at the moon and watch the football roll into his own goal.
2:1
"pretty!!"
"Aguero's shot! The ball went in!"
"It's really beautiful. The ball was actually passed a bit too big, but Aguero reacted very quickly. He didn't stop the ball before the defender came up and shot directly, 2:1! Aguero scored twice!"
"Only 5 minutes into the second half, Atletico Madrid got consecutive set-piece opportunities in the frontcourt. Although Lindy failed to help the team with his header twice, Aguero's shot was timed very well. "In the studio late at night, the two grown men were dancing happily, as if Atletico Madrid had qualified.
Flores even jumped up. The scene was like: the late emperor started his business but got into disco in the middle!
2:1 gave him hope of promotion. Now all the decisive factors are on Wolfsburg.
The team is even more excited, as if they are going to participate in the Champions League knockout rounds tomorrow, and their morale is getting higher and higher!
Atletico Madrid got off to a good start in the second half and quickly took over the game. They wanted to take advantage of this momentum to completely kill the game.
But the Miners never know what it means to admit defeat at home.
The 55th minute of the game.
After an attack by Atletico Madrid, Miners goalkeeper Piatov quickly threw the ball, and the football was thrown directly to Jedson in the center.
The latter continued to sprint with the ball and distributed the ball to Fernandinho before Paul Assuncao came up.
Several Brazilian players cooperated in a small area in the frontcourt, and they saw that they broke through Atletico Madrid's central defense.
At this time, Lindy saw that although Ilsinho had been looking to the right, he never looked to the left again after he first looked to the left.
On the right, Valera and Reyes are tracking back to defend. Are they trying to imitate Ronaldinho again?
Lindy pretended to step forward to intercept Ilsinho, but as expected, the latter immediately passed the ball to the left.
Lindy made a flying tackle and kept the ball directly without giving the opponent any chance. He continued to find Aguero with a pass.
However, the latter failed to stop the football due to interference from the defensive players, which was a pity.
…
In the other half of the stadium, Chelsea are still fighting hard against Wolfsburg.
The 31-year-old Drogba is still fighting for the ball with Wolfsburg defenders in the frontcourt. Like Atletico Madrid,
Chelsea also always pay attention to the opponent's game progress.
When Ancelotti got the news that Atletico Madrid had a 2:1 lead, he could no longer sit still.
He walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Go up, go up!"
Lampard, Drogba, Deco and Ballack, the four main players are all over 31 years old. This is their most abundant and valuable point.
But it has also become a weakness. Wolfsburg's tenacious fighting spirit in the battle of dignity moved these seniors a little.
The game time has reached 70 minutes, Chelsea is still tied 0:0 with Wolfsburg, Ancelotti can no longer sit still.
Daniel Sturridge, Joe Cole, and Anelka came on respectively. There are still 20 minutes left in the game. It is still unclear who will win.
