Chapter 222 Against Atletico Madrid

After a bloodless victory over Stoke City, Bury will have a big game in three days.

Champions League home game against Atletico Madrid.

Before that, the situation in this group was extremely complicated. The four teams scored three points together, only because of the difference in goal difference.

So every next game is extremely critical.

Atletico Madrid has gradually become the third pole of La Liga since the godfather Dayoutou took office, and even challenged the status of Real Madrid and Barcelona for many years.

And today's Atlético de Madrid can be considered a strong army, with strong men sitting on the three lines.

The back line has Godin, Felipe, Juanfran and other players who are at their peak, the midfield line has young players such as Koke, Thomas, Saul, Carrasco, and the striker has the French director Gullet Players such as Ziman, the old golden boy Torres and Correa are in the team.

And in front of their goal stands the future No. [-] goalkeeper Oblak.

Judging by the reputation of the players, Atletico Madrid is also a strong comparison.

But Zhang Chong still said that fame does not mean everything. He is better than Bayern Munich, and he was almost overthrown by Bury at home.

In this game, Zhang Chong sent the strongest lineup.

Maguire got 10 minutes to familiarize himself with the rhythm of the game in the last game, and he officially started this game, partnering with Shik.

The two full-backs are Klaus and Robertson, the midfield line is Kanter and Maddison, and the frontcourt is Mesias, Mbappe, Bowen and Antoine Hill.

Atletico Madrid has a 442 formation, Oblak, Juanfran, Godin, Jimenez, Felipe, Saul, Gabi, Thomas, Cork, Griezmann and Torres.

Before the game, most of the media believed that the game would be a bitter battle, and it was difficult to predict the outcome.

Although Bury has the advantage at home, Atletico Madrid have more experience in European wars, which may help them gain some advantages at critical moments.

But these so-called advantages may all be wiped out because of a small variable.

Therefore, everything still comes down to this game!

The time came to 45:[-] pm local time.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Zhang Chong knows Dabeitou's tactical style very well. He is a coach who pays more attention to defense than Mourinho, so Atletico Madrid will first stabilize the defense at the beginning of the game, and then attack Xu Tu.

But Zhang Chong did the opposite. He asked the players to attack as soon as the game opened, tearing apart the opponent's defense with sharp attacks!

In the 5th minute, Mesias took the ball in the midfield, and Thomas stuck to him tightly, preventing him from handling the ball easily.

And Madison stepped forward decisively to meet him, ready to use the numerical advantage to break through the frontal defense.

But Cork on the left immediately shrank in, ready to press Madison.

Mesias saw that there was no suitable shot point, so he could only choose to pass back.

Immediately after Kante received a pass back from Mesias, he distributed the ball to the right, and Klaus advanced to get the football.

At this time, Cork was still recovering in the middle, so Klaus decisively took the ball forward, and Bowen also took the opportunity to cut in, preparing to take away the left back Felipe.

But Felipe is experienced, he did not follow Bowen, but chose to stare at Klaus to prevent him from getting a comfortable passing space.

And Bowen, who cuts inside, naturally has other teammates to defend!

Klaus saw that he couldn't break through directly, so he chose to pass the ball to Bowen who cut inside.

And Thomas and Jimenez immediately rushed towards Bowen, ready to work together to steal the ball.

Bowen didn't continue to dribble the ball, but directly transferred the ball laterally, handing the ball to Mesias who was going forward, and he was going forward to the penalty area.

Mesias made a direct over-the-top pass and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Jimenez, who followed Bowen, gave full play to his height advantage and intercepted the ball in the air!

But his header did not go far, and Mesias rushed to the point of the football and shot directly at the ball!

The ball was fast and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

But Oblak was already prepared and reached out to save the ball to the bottom line!

Although the ball looked threatening, Zhang Chong on the sidelines frowned.

Bury's attack looked lively, but in fact he failed to enter the opponent's penalty area at all!

Atletico Madrid's defensive system can be seen.

In fact, Zhang Chong's biggest headache is this kind of tortoise-like opponent, who will inevitably change after a long period of attack.

Atletico Madrid is very adaptable to this rhythm. Although they were besieged by their opponents, they did not panic at all.

They just want to wait for an opportunity for an opponent to make a mistake, and then kill them with one blow!

But when the game gradually fell into a stalemate, Bury finally got the chance to break the game!

No. In the 30th minute, Mbappe took the ball on the left, and Juanfran stared at him closely, not giving him a chance to speed up.

And Andrew Robertson moved forward quickly, ready to create space for Mbappe.

But Saul stayed close to him, compressing the space for him to receive the ball.

However, when Robertson advanced to Mbappe's side, he deliberately moved closer to Mbappe, trying to use Mbappe's blocking to distance himself from Saul.

Sure enough, Saul was blocked by Mbappe, and Robertson took the opportunity to distance himself from him.

And Mbappe also seized the opportunity and prepared to pass the ball to him.

Juanfran made his prediction. He took a step between Mbappe and Robertson, preparing to intercept Mbappe's passing line.

But Mbappe suddenly showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He swiped his foot on the ball, but he didn't pass the ball, but directly cut inside!

This shakes Juanfran completely, his center of gravity has not been adjusted, and he has already lost the opportunity!

Mbappe's explosive power allowed him to completely shake off the defender in just two steps, and Juanfran had no chance to foul.

He took a few steps into the penalty area, and Godin had already greeted him, ready to block Mbappe's way.

But Mbappe had already stepped into the penalty area at this time. He was sure that Godin would not dare to stretch his feet rashly, so he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he did a half-cycling action and directly changed to the horizontal belt, preparing to flash out Open the door!

Godin's defensive experience is very rich. He judged Mbappe's intentions at the first time. He took a step sideways and threw his whole body out, preparing to block Mbappe's shot.

But Mbappe unexpectedly did not choose to hit the goal, but took another step horizontally, completely out of the space!

At this time, Jimenez was entangled by Antoine Hill and could not block his shot, so Mbappe's opponent at this time was only Oblak!

He directly chose to volley vigorously!

Although the ball was powerful, the angle was controlled very well, and it went straight to the lower left corner of the goal!

Oblak stretched his body to the limit, but he still couldn't touch the ball!

The football hit the net hard, one to zero!

Bury scored first in the first half!
