Gabi is sent off
Arsenal won a penalty kick.
As the team's top scorer, Xia Qi naturally stood in front of the penalty spot.
whistle,
approach,
Shoot,
Xia Qi chose to kick the ball in the middle of the goal.
When players take a penalty, they usually choose the left or right. Those who choose the middle like Xia Qi are playing psychological warfare.
In a glance exchange between AI and Courtois, AI successfully misled Courtois and made him dive to the right.
"The ball went in, Xia Qi kicked the penalty in the middle of the goal, Arsenal led 2:0, it was a perfect start."
"Xia Qi has a strong heart. For a penalty kick from 12 yards, footwork and other things are not important. Mental quality is the most important. Xia Qi is extremely calm and his shot is very resolute..."
"The total score is now 3:5, Arsenal is leading by two goals and has one more player on the field. It can be said that they have one foot on the flight to Lisbon, Portugal."
On the sidelines, Wenger, who always likes to hide his emotions, jumped like a child and high-fived Pat Rice to celebrate.
Leading by two goals, Gabi was sent off. The advantage was so great that they could "open champagne at halftime". Arsenal fans turned their backs to the pitch, put their hands on each other's shoulders, and played human waves...
Gabi's red card was a bigger blow to Atletico than anyone expected.
Simeone stood on the sidelines, waving his fists and shouting slogans, but still failed to liven up Atletico Madrid.
After the game restarted, Atletico did not have any more shots, and Arsenal's two shots failed to expand the score.
At the end of the first half, thanks to Xia Qi's goal and one assist, Arsenal temporarily led Atletico Madrid 2:0.
After the start of the second half,
During the half-time break, Atletico Madrid players drank the chicken soup cooked by Simeone and started their crazy counterattack.
After all, this is the Calderón Stadium.
Amid the crazy cheers of Atletico Madrid fans,
Atletico Madrid ignored the fact that they were one man down on the field and pressed forward madly from the start. After intercepting the ball, Koke dribbled directly into Arsenal's half.
At the same time, the entire Atletico team rushed through the center circle together.
Seeing that his attack was counterattacked, Xia Qi and Walcott returned to their own half on the two wings to participate in the defense.
But Koke didn't give Xia Qi any chance to defend. He passed the ball to Villa before Xia Qi could get to the ball.
At the moment of catching the ball,
Villa stopped and moved forward without wasting a second, and rushed down the wing.
Gustavo immediately chased back quickly,
However, just before he got to Villa, Villa took the lead and passed the ball into the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Diego Costa jumped high and made a very beautiful "lion head shake".
The angle of the football was tricky and the speed was fast, but Martinez was in great form and he made a desperate side dive to push the ball out of the baseline.
"Atletico's attack was as simple as ever. After breaking through the two wings, they went straight to center forward Costa..."
"This style of play may seem simple, but it is very effective. Atletico Madrid has used this style to lead the La Liga standings, ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona."
"In fact, Atletico's playing style is simple but not simplistic. Diego Costa is not a traditional center forward who can attack, pass, steal, make plays and participate in defense..."
Atletico Madrid took a corner kick from the left side, and the ball was caught in the arms of Martinez who was in incredibly good form.
Atletico players retreated like a tide.
Martinez kicked the ball out of the goal, and Atletico Madrid once again put on a mad dog-like press.
Although Arsenal's passing and control are very good, they are unable to make Barcelona's passing and control fail against Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal's TiKi-TaKa had a difficult time.
After a few passes, the ball was intercepted by Koke and Mario Suarez and was destroyed.
After Koke intercepted the ball, he made a long pass without hesitation, sending the ball to the top of Diego Costa's head.
Frankly speaking, the ball was passed hastily. Diego Costa bumped and got in front of Mertesacker and stopped the ball.
But the danger has not been resolved.
Mertesacker's partner Umtiti rushed over the moment he stopped the ball.
Umtiti in front and Mertesacker in the back.
Diego Costa was trapped from both sides and had no way to shoot, so he could only send the ball away.
Villa was on the left side of the penalty area, without stopping the ball, and shot.
Facing this shot, Martinez was well prepared. He quickly dived to the side on the goal line.
However, a man suddenly rushed in between Villa and Martinez.
Arsenal right-back Aurier rushed out from the side and stretched out his leg to block the shot.
It was this clearance that turned into a shot.
The football changed direction and flew towards Martinez who was diving sideways, heading towards the other corner of the goal.
In the air, Martinez saw the football flying towards him. He raised his arms and slapped the football. Unfortunately, when he dived sideways, he dived to the lower right corner, which was only half a person's height in the air.
Even though he stretched out his arms as hard as he could, he still couldn't reach it, and he let out a helpless scream.
The football passed through his fingertips and went into the net.
1: 2!
The total score is 4:5!
The extremely dark road to advancement now has a glimmer of hope.
The Calderon Stadium was boiling at this moment!
The DJ on the scene shouted hysterically: "Goooooooaaaaaallllll!"
“Villa!!!!”
At this moment, Atletico Madrid fans roared: "Atletico Madrid, fight!"
Diego Costa, who assisted the goal, was even more excited than Villa, who scored the goal. He pounded his chest hard and roared like a beast...
Atletico Madrid's new captain Godin took the opportunity to encourage the team: "Score one more goal and eliminate Arsenal."
"Score one more goal and eliminate Arsenal!"
"Score one more goal and eliminate Arsenal!"
Many Atletico Madrid players also clapped and roared.
The sound penetrated the entire stadium, drawing even louder cheers from Atletico fans.
More than 20,000 Arsenal fans who traveled with the team went wild the moment the referee blew the whistle.
"oops!"
"Own goals!"
"Orie's clearance was at the level of Xia Qi's goal."
In the Penguin live broadcast room, Zhan Jun said depressedly: "It's the most unacceptable to lose the ball like this, but Arsenal still has a one-goal advantage. Don't be nervous, quickly adjust your mentality and play to your strength. The advantage is mine..."
Many netizens who support Arsenal on the Internet complained: "Don't say 'the advantage is mine', it makes my back cold..."
On the field, Atletico Madrid players came back from celebrating and Simeone assigned Mario Suarez, who was assigned by Simeone to mark Xia Qi throughout the game.
Standing next to Xia Qi, he trash-talked: "Don't even think about scoring again, the next goal will definitely be Diego."
Xia Qi just glanced at him coldly.
...
...
"Beep!"
...Xia Qi was making crazy breakthroughs with the ball, and there was always one person following him - Atletico Madrid's midfielder Mario Suarez.
He did not compete with Xia Qi for position while running, nor did he try to trip Xia Qi. He just followed Xia Qi closely like a bodyguard.
This is because Mario Suarez knew that he could not defend Xia Qi by himself, so he was waiting for help.
More than 20 meters in front of Atletico Madrid's goal,
Mario Suarez finally got help.
Atletico Madrid's right back Juanfran rushed over.
"Be careful, double grab!"
Amidst the exclamation of teacher Zhan Jun, Mario Suarez, who had been preparing for a long time, moved.
When Juanfran rushed up, he first bumped into Xia Qi and tentatively stretched out his right leg to try to steal the ball.
When the two of them collided, it was like a wave hitting a cliff, and the cliff was as solid as a rock.
Xia Qi was not affected, his steps were not messy, and he easily pulled the ball to his right side with his right foot, avoiding Mario Suarez's interception.
At this time, Juanfran cooperated with Mario Suarez to intercept the ball and pounced on Xia Qi's right side like a hungry tiger.
Juanfran was opposite Xia Qi, so he stretched out his left foot and swept towards the football.
Juanfran grabbed Xia Qi's right side, Mario Suarez grabbed Xia Qi's left side,
Xia Qi is in danger!
The only feasible way at this moment was to spike the ball through the middle like a rabbit.
But Xia Qi didn't.
He tapped the football with his right foot and stepped on it.
Juanfran swept the ball with his left foot.
However, the football remained motionless, as if it was one with the grass and Xia Qi's right foot.
Stepping on the ball to prevent it from being snatched often happens when children and adults are playing ball, but in the adult world, this is the first time for a young girl to get into a bridal sedan.
Not only did Juanfran's left foot fail to kick the ball out from under Xia Qi's feet, his foot was actually shaken back by the ball.
The whole place was in an uproar!
Is this a Chaplin comedy?
Juanfran is the team traitor? Or, Xia Qi is the Hulk?
Audience: My friends and I were all stunned...
Hearing the exclamations from the audience, Juanfran wanted to die.
As he was distracted, Xia Qi passed by him like a whirlwind, and Juanfran was so distraught that he didn't even try to chase him back.
Fortunately, Mario Suarez was quite responsible and he chased after Xia Qi.
Xia Qi rushed to the front of the penalty area, but did not continue to break through. Instead, he passed the ball to Balotelli who was stuck in front of Miranda.
Balotelli leaned on Miranda, turned his back to the goal and kicked the ball with his heel, and the ball went behind Miranda.
Mario Suarez, who was beside Xia Qi, saw a flash before his eyes, and the person he was supposed to defend disappeared.
In a hurry, he called out: "Deputy!"
Godin moved quickly, and before he could stretch his legs to break the ball, he felt a gust of air rushing towards him. His eyes went dark, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
Godin knew that Xia Qi was coming.
He quickly stretched his legs, what if he poked the football before Xia Qi?
Unfortunately, he was just relying on luck, while AI is super computing.
The results speak for themselves!
Xia Qi shot him before he could stretch his legs!
The football passed by Godin and rushed towards the goal.
Godin, who had already given up his focus, was unable to do anything about it and could only look back at the goalkeeper.
The whole village placed its hopes on Courtois.
Facts have proven that if you rely on mountains, they will fall, and if you rely on people, they will run away...
Courtois's vision was blocked, and he waited for the ball to pass by Godin before reacting. It was actually just an instinctive reaction.
Courtois pounced on the air.
Before Courtois pounced on the ball, it hit the inside of the post, made a pleasant sound, and bounced into the net.
More than 20,000 Arsenal fans jumped up from their seats.
One second, they were still worried that Atletico would take advantage of the victory and that their half-time champagne would become an accident. The next second, they were crazy about Xia Qi! They shouted at the top of their throats:
"Xia Qi!"
"Xia Qi!"
"Xia Qi!"
On the contrary, Atletico fans booed and cursed with dissatisfaction.
"Damn..."
"Damn it, old mu..."
The angrier they are, the more it shows how lethal Xia Qi is!!!
...
...
"Hit the door!"
"The ball is in!"
"Xia Qi's double goal came at the right time. Just when Atletico's fighting spirit was high, Xia Qi poured cold water on them."
"First, Xia Qi assisted Balotelli, and now Balotelli assisted Xia Qi. Balotelli's heel kick was so cool. The twin stars of Arsenal are in perfect sync..."
"Listen to the angry boos from Atletico fans and you will know that this goal is crucial. The score is now 1:3, Atletico is two goals behind, and the total score is 4:6. If Atletico wants to advance, they need to score three goals in regular time.
This is undoubtedly a difficult thing to do.
If the score is tied, both teams will have to go into extra time if the away goals are the same. "
After scoring the goal, Xia Qi was very calm, as if he had done something insignificant.
He walked back to the center circle with an expressionless face.
Balotelli caught up with Xia Qi from behind and hugged his neck: "Why are you unhappy? Didn't you say that the abuse from the opponent's fans is the best reward for us?"
Even though Xia Qi was an emotionless AI, he felt a warm current in his heart at this moment. It felt good to be cared for by others. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously: "Mario, the nightclubs in Madrid are very prosperous. Hurry up and clock out."
"Haha! You're a thirsty single dog, but I like it. Let Ba Ye take you flying!"
Atletico kicks off.
Mario Suarez is back defending Xia Qi, who likes to chat with his opponents while defending.
"Xia, why didn't you celebrate after scoring the goal?"
Xia Qi ignored him and looked at Cork who was about to kick off.
"Xia, that goal you just scored was so beautiful. How come you are so strong? Even Juanfran couldn't break it..."
Beep!
The iron-blooded Atletico Madrid is really not an exaggeration.
They had almost no hope of advancing, so after the kick-off, they made a desperate attempt to attack Arsenal's defense.
Villa still passed the ball to the side and made a cross.
Diego Costa, who was in the back post, shot into the empty goal, his toes missing the ball by just a little bit. This was Atletico's best chance of the game.
Six minutes later, Atletico Madrid made a comeback.
Koke's world-class shot from the edge of the penalty area hit the post, and left-back Felipe made a cushion shot that broke through Martinez's defense.
But the linesman raised the flag before he could shoot.
From the slow-motion replay, the referee was correct, Felipe was obviously offside.
But Simeone and Atletico fans don't think so.
Simeone was complaining to the fourth official on the sidelines...
Atletico Madrid fans shouted at the top of their lungs: "Black whistle!"
This whistle not only ruined the goal, but also killed Atletico Madrid's fighting spirit.
In the 72nd minute, Arsenal attacked and Walcott broke through on the right side, observing the running positions of his teammates while breaking through.
After dribbling past Felipe, Walcott lofted the ball into the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Balotelli and Xia Qi rushed towards the football from the front and back.
At the front point, Balotelli accelerated and jumped high towards the football, but due to the interference of Miranda, both of them were injured and both missed the ball.
At the back post, under the close defense of Mario Suarez, Xia Qi jumped ahead of time!
Mario Suarez defended the person but not the ball, and when Xia Qi jumped, he also jumped.
But gravity doesn't work on Xia Qi but it works on him.
up in the air,
He fell to the ground, but Xia Qi stayed in the air for nearly a second.
This suspension in the air allowed him to break away from Mario Suarez's defense, and he swung his leg in the air and volleyed the ball!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, all Atletico fans closed their eyes in despair.
The images of invincible players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho, etc. appeared in my mind, and then overlapped with the young man on the field one by one.
When the goal whistle sounded,
They stood up and applauded...
In the stadium, Xia Qi's mouth curled up.
Narrator:
"I like the way you were so unruly at first, but now you all kneel down in submission."
