Chapter 162
"Hey! Lin, what are you daydreaming about?"
Just as Lin Rui was checking the system panel, Cork's voice suddenly came to his ears.
""Oh, nothing."
Lin Rui said perfunctorily, then put away the system panel and walked off the court.
In the match against Valladolid the next day, in order to test the level of his added technical ability, Lin Rui participated in the defense more than usual.
This made the defenders of Valladolid suffer.
His 80 defense and steals, even if placed in the defender pile, can be regarded as a mid-level level.
Among the forwards, it is a unique existence. In the
19th minute of the game, Lin Rui used his stealing ability to counter-steal the ball from the Valladolid central defender at the front of the penalty area.
Then he did not make any adjustments and shot directly.
The football was directly blasted into the dead corner of the goal by his heavy artillery.
The score became 1-0.
The Valladolid defender who was intercepted by Bellingrui looked very depressed. The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Rui was even more helpless.
"���Great steal! Shot!"
"The ball goes in!"
"Wow! Lin Rui was very active in the frontcourt today. He even did the work of a defender and a forward."
"I can't believe that Lin Rui's defensive ability is so strong now. It seems that Valladolid's defenders have to be more careful. Because there is a guy who can shoot immediately after stealing the ball next to you."
In the live broadcast room, Liu Jian laughed and said
"Indeed, when a striker learns to defend, it becomes the nightmare of all defenders. Because they not only have to guard against the opponent's shots, but also have to pay attention to the opponent's steals. If they are not careful, the opponent will steal the ball on the spot and directly counterattack, which will ruin the game. Just like the ball just now, the defender of Valladolid didn't react at all and the ball went in."
Zhang Lu also joked with a smile on his face
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire live broadcast room became relaxed because of Lin Rui's goal.
At this time on the court, the game between the two sides resumed.
Due to the score behind, Valladolid began to try to press forward.
However, their strength was not good, and after the front line pressed forward, the gaps in the back line were exposed.
Atletico Madrid also took the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack.
After several attempts, in the 37th minute of the game, Costa finally succeeded in offside in the frontcourt. He broke into the penalty area, passed the goalkeeper directly, and scored an empty goal.
The score was rewritten to 2-0.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Valladolid was completely passive.
In the 61st minute of the game, Atletico Madrid got a corner kick opportunity.
Lin Rui received a pass from Raul Garcia in front of the penalty area and looked back at the moon. , and headed the ball into the goal.
The score became 3-0.
Seeing that the general situation was set, Simeone began to make substitutions.
Lin Rui, Raul Garcia and Gabi were all substituted.
In the end, Atletico Madrid won this game with a score of 3-0.
This is the fourth consecutive victory after Atletico Madrid ended its winning streak last time.
And this result was achieved under a devilish schedule.
It can be said that it is not easy.
However, the outside media believe that the real test for Atletico Madrid has just begun.
Because the opponents in the previous few games are bluntly speaking, they are all weak teams.
Except for Real Sociedad, which is still ranked higher, the other teams simply cannot pose too much threat to Atletico Madrid.
And the next schedule is the real devil's schedule.
First of all, in the league, after In the next two games, Atletico Madrid will face the challenge of La Liga powerhouse Sevilla, and then their city rivals Real Madrid.
These two games can be said to be quite difficult to play.
As a traditional powerhouse in La Liga, Sevilla has always been a frequent visitor to the top few places in La Liga, and its strength should not be underestimated. Not to mention Real Madrid.
After losing to Atletico Madrid in the first half of the season, the opponent will definitely go all out in this encounter.
It is said that Ronaldo has said that if he meets Atletico Madrid again, he must make the opponent look bad.
There are also other Real Madrid players who are gearing up and vowing to avenge their previous shame.
In this case, it will definitely be difficult for Atletico Madrid to get through smoothly.
In addition to the league, there are also Europa League and King's Cup games interspersed with it. In.
This will also involve a lot of energy from the team.
Under such circumstances, it is absolutely hell-level difficult for Atletico Madrid to maintain its winning streak.
On the second day after the match with Valladolid, all major newspapers in Spain were speculating in which game Atletico Madrid would collapse first.
Even some underground bookmakers have opened the handicap. Come and bet on which game Atletico Madrid will eventually lose.
Among them, the game with the highest odds is the match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
It is said that if you bet on Atletico Madrid to win, you can get odds of 8.7 to 1.
Even if you bet on a draw, there are odds of 4.1 to 1.
The second highest odds are not the match with Sevilla, but Atletico Madrid's next opponent in the Europa League, Rubin Kazan.
Atletico Madrid's odds of winning reached 1 to 3.9.
The odds of a draw are 1 to 2.1.
The reason for this is mainly because Atletico Madrid will go to the away game for this game.
And the area where Rubin Kazan is located is thousands of miles away from Madrid.
It is said that it takes more than ten hours to take a plane.
In this case, it is really hard to say how many points Atletico Madrid can still have.
The third odds are the match with Sevilla.
Atletico Madrid's odds of winning are 1 to 3.5.
The odds of a tie are 1 to 1.8.
The last one is of course Atletico Madrid's King's Cup opponent Athletic Bilbao.
The odds are basically the same.
This also shows how pessimistic people are about Atletico Madrid.
The entire Atletico Madrid team arrived in Kazan the day before the match with Rubin Kazan.
After more than ten hours of flight, all the players and staff were exhausted.
Even Lin Rui, who has always been energetic, felt a little tired.
Of course, this was mainly caused by boredom on the plane. After getting off the plane, eating something, and moving around for a while, he was full of energy again. Seeing this, the teammates were amazed and called it abnormal.
After the team checked into the hotel, Simeone did not arrange any training programs, and directly let the players rest and adjust to the jet lag.
It was not until the second day of the game that the players were slightly relieved.
But the spirit is definitely not as good as before.
Looking at the listless looks of the players, Simeone couldn't help but frowned deeply.
