Seven Crowns - Chapter 690
Despite winning the League Cup and completing the glory of a small triple crown, Paris Saint-Germain still cannot carry on the carnival from top to bottom.
Because there will be a game three days later, and it is still a very important Champions League semi-final.
The Paris Saint-Germain schedule at the end of the season is really dense and frightening.
After playing the French Cup semi-final on April 16th and the League Cup final on April 19th, there was another more intense UEFA Champions League semi-final.
What is more worrying is that this is an away game.
Moreover, after arriving in Madrid, Ibrahimovic strained his muscles during adaptive training on the first day of the game and was unable to play.
Whether Paris Saint-Germain can retreat from Calderon is a problem.
You must know that the current Atletico Madrid has risen under the leadership of Simeone to become one of the top three in the Western Super League alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona.
This season, Atletico Madrid has ranked first in the standings so far, and has the ability to win the La Liga champions over Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Under Simeone’s tune, today’s Atletico Madrid has flexible tactics and unity. He is good at high position presses, reasonable fouls, and defensive counterattacks. He has extremely high offensive efficiency and often wins when his possession rate is far lower than his opponents. It.
If Lu Wenbin leads a healthy Paris, then there is no problem.
The key issue now is that Ibrahimovic is injured and Paris Saint-Germain has gone through repeated battles before playing away with Atletico Madrid.
Even if the Greater Paris is led by Lu Wenbin, it can’t be said to win!
On April 22, at the Calderon Stadium, Paris Saint-Germain played away against Atletico Madrid in the first round of the 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League semi-final.
Sure enough, with the exception of center Diego Costa nailing the front to fight back, most of the other players withdrew to their own half to shrink the defense.
But instead of returning to the front of the penalty area, he started defending from near the center line. Once the danger is felt, the Atletico Madrid players will foul without waiting for a player from Paris to dribble to within 30 meters.
Simeone, who was born in the midfielder, has improved Atletico Madrid players a lot in foul experience.
In the opening 20 minutes, Lu Wenbin won two free kicks, but they were all 30 meters away.
Once the system skill penalty was within the range of the goal frame, it was easily slammed by Courtois, who has become the world’s top goalkeeper, and the other time he took a free kick and flew directly out of the baseline.
This is Atletico’s choice in defense and foul location.
Once Lu Wenbin dribbles the ball and scores within 30 meters of the goal, two or three players will rush on to fight, resolutely not allowing Lu Wenbin to break through or pass the ball comfortably.
Without Ibrahimovic’s support in the offense, Paris’ offensive strength and efficiency have dropped a lot.
Paris is not as extravagant as Real Madrid to the extent that they have Lu Wenbin, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil, Di Maria, Benzema, and Higuain at the same time.
Cavani and Ravich have always been far behind Ibrahimovic in passing and receiving.
In the 23rd minute, Atletico even hit a very threatening counterattack.
Fortunately, Thiago Silva was quite concentrated, even though the tackle destroyed Diego Costa’s single-handed attendance.
Otherwise, waiting for Costa to take a shot, with Costa’s fiery state this season, Paris’ goal is very dangerous.
Although Silva fouled and was shown a yellow card by the referee, fortunately, it was a foul outside the penalty area.
Atletico Madrid does not have a free kick player like Lu Wenbin. There is no threat to this free kick.
But under Atletico’s crazy full-court press, Paris has never been able to break Atletico’s goal.
In addition to free kicks, Lu Wenbin also had two shots within the goal frame, but they were all thrown out by the excellent Courtois.
Today’s semi-final, Lu Wenbin was out of luck, and Paris also played poorly.
In the 37th minute, Atletico Madrid even scored the first goal of Paris.
It was Diego Costa, who was in great shape this season under the guidance of Simeone.
He pressed Silva in the penalty area and pushed the ball from the side pass of his teammate into the goal of Paris Saint-Germain.
Suddenly, Calderon was like a volcanic eruption. Atletico Madrid fans celebrated frantically in the stands, celebrating that they were ahead of the upstart Paris Saint-Germain.
Fortunately, there is also Lu Wenbin in Paris.
Although Atletico Madrid’s crazy pressing has a good effect on the physically worrying Paris Saint-Germain, it is inevitable that mistakes will sometimes occur, sending a free kick in a threatening position to Paris.
In the 44th minute, Atletico Captain Godin fouled Cavani and gave Lu Wenbin a free kick with a good position and distance.
And Lu Wenbin’s skill cooling time has arrived.
Lu Wenbin, who turned on the system skills, kicked the ball into the theoretical blind spot, the intersection of the beam and the column.
This time, Courtois finally did not try to turn the tide, he could only watch the ball fly into the net in the air.
Relying on Lu Wenbin’s free kick, Paris Saint-Germain finally evened the score before the end of the first half.
After a while, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides to fight again.
Atletico still pursues their high position press and defensive counterattack tactics.
Of course, apart from this, they have no other tactics that can compete with Paris Saint-Germain led by Lu Wenbin.
Although Lu Wenbin wants to lead the team to victory, his teammates are getting worse and worse, and Atletico Madrid also guarded him strictly.
Simeone feels no less than Mourinho under the defensive tune.
And Blanco, under the tune of the team’s offense, is not as good as Mourinho.
Coupled with the huge gap in the strength of his teammates, Lu Wenbin’s offense and organization are not as sharp as when he was at Real Madrid.
After the two sides maintained the 1-1 score for another 20 minutes in the second half, the players of Paris Saint-Germain began to experience exhaustion.
In the 67th minute, Mota was the first to be unable to support his midfielder, and fell to the ground in an untouched run.
After examination by the team doctor, it was his own muscle fatigue that caused the strain, so he could only be replaced.
In the 78th minute ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lu Wenbin made a pass from the side, Cavani not only failed to top the ball and left the field with an injury, but also was not sentenced to a penalty kick.
In the 83rd minute, central defender Maquinhos fouled his back with a shovel and was sent off by a red card when he could not keep up with Costa, who was about to become a one-handed.
Paris Saint-Germain challenged ten people.
Finally, in the 87th minute, Atletico midfielder Cork shot through the goal guarded by Duchez with a shocking long shot.
Atletico Madrid took the lead again, and Calderon fell into a carnival again.
In the last few minutes of the game, Paris Saint-Germain carried out an even more crazy attack. Lu Wenbin even staged a good show of three people in a row, but the ball was tackled by a fourth person after passing the three.
After 4 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Paris Saint-Germain lost 1-2 away to Atletico Madrid and lost the Champions League half after repeated fierce battles and poor shooting luck. The first round of the finals.
This is the rare starter Lu Wenbin has lost in his career.
Although only one goal was lost, and there was an away goal, the road to the final of Paris is also very dangerous.
Even back home in the second round, Simeone’s linen army will not make Paris feel better. …
