Prominence in Football Community

Because they lost the game in the first round, Atletico Madrid, who returned to the home court, fought fiercely at the beginning of the game.

And Leverkusen seems to have expected Atletico Madrid to play like this, and also responded with a strong response.

The two sides fought so fiercely that it was difficult for them to pass the football several times in a row, and they would soon be interrupted or make mistakes.

Naturally, such a game cannot be called good-looking and exciting.

But for those who pay attention to this game, it doesn't matter whether the game looks good or not.

The important thing is who can finally reach the quarterfinals.

Even the Chinese fans have the same idea-they all hope that Atletico Madrid can eliminate Leverkusen and reach the quarterfinals. In this way, they can continue to look forward to the Champions League this season. Otherwise, many people may not watch the Champions League.

On the other hand, the reason they support Atletico Madrid is that they don't want to see the arrogant faces of Korean media and Korean netizens after Leverkusen eliminated Atletico Madrid.

Before the game, the South Korean media hyped Sun Xingmin's revenge battle with a high profile. How could this news be hidden from the Chinese fans?

Although China's Internet has a wall, it is not difficult to access the Internet scientifically. News outside the wall can easily spread to China. Everyone has long known how the Korean media reported the game.

The thought of what the Koreans would look like if Atletico Madrid were eliminated made the Chinese fans sick.

So in order not to let the Koreans succeed, they all support Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid robbed fiercely at home, but it was the visiting team Leverkusen who made the first threat.

In the 20th minute, Leverkusen's midfielder Las Bender went straight, and Sun Xingmin suddenly made a forward move and went into the penalty area to catch the ball!

At this moment, the hearts of many Atletico Madrid fans and Chinese fans raised their throats-this is a one-shot! !

Fortunately, Sun Xingmin's advance was a little late. Although he tried to stretch his legs as much as possible, he still couldn't reach the football.

The ball passed in front of his toes, and the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Moya leaned over and hugged him.

The crisis is over!

There was a loud sound of exhalation from the stands.

But what happened next made the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans tighten up again.

Because Moya, who kept the football, didn't get up immediately, but pressed his back thigh muscles with one hand...

The Leverkusen fans who came with the team booed. They thought Moya was deliberately delaying time.

But they also don't think about it, Atletico Madrid is behind, why do they need to delay time?

"Moya seems to be injured. If he is injured, this game may not be able to last..." He Ping's words made the hearts of the Chinese fans in front of the TV twitch.

It's frustrating to see Atlético Madrid's goalkeeper injured when they need to fight back.

On the bench of Atletico Madrid, the assistant coach Boggs has already called the substitute goalkeeper Oblak to warm up, but there is not much time left for him to warm up.

During the game, some substitute players are often asked to warm up and maintain their body temperature. But it is rare to warm up in the first 20 minutes of the game.

Oblak hurriedly went to warm up.

Behind him is Diego Simeone, frowning.

The team lost the first round, and the main goalkeeper was injured just after the second round, so the situation became quite serious.

"Moya is injured! This is good news for Leverkusen! This injury is an accident, and it will definitely make Atletico Madrid mess up! Leverkusen mainly seizes this opportunity and keeps attacking Atletico Madrid's defense. You can find a chance to score!" the South Korean commentator said excitedly. "And that's what Son Heung-min is best at!"

In front of the TV and on the Internet, South Korean fans mapped their national sentiments to Sun Xingmin, hoping that he could use his own goals to severely teach the arrogant Chinese.

After losing to the Chinese team in the Asian Cup, South Korean fans and the media were very aggrieved. In the face of the results, everything seemed pale.

They are desperate for a chance to exalt themselves.

Because before the Asian Cup, they knew that Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid would meet in the Champions League, so after the failure of the Asian Cup, almost the whole country was waiting for this game.

Unexpectedly, the encounter between Sun Xingmin and Gao Zheng was arranged in the second round. The victory of Leverkusen in the first round has nothing to do with Sun Xingmin.

They were very upset at the time.

But now that I think about it, maybe all of this is God's arrangement. Let Sun Xingmin's revenge battle be placed in this game. What could be more revenge than kicking Gao Zheng out of the Champions League?

In the end, Moya could not persist in the game and was replaced by substitute goalkeeper Oblak.

"Poor Moya!" said Jose Maria. "Because of this strain, he became the first player in Champions League history to be substituted in the first 25 minutes of a game twice - he was substituted in the 23rd minute against Bursa in 2010. ...good luck to him and hope the injury is not serious..."

When Oblak came on the pitch, the Calderon applauded, and Atlético Madrid fans encouraged Oblak in this way, although each of them had a frown on their faces - deep down in their hearts. I am still very worried about whether the sudden injury of goalkeeper Moya will bring bad luck to the team.

Moya has always been the team's main goalkeeper this season, and his state and experience are better than Oblak's as a substitute.

Oblak is still in a hurry to play, what can he do? How is he?

Everyone has no idea.

The telecast also gave long close-ups of Oblak.

Professional organizations also feel that Oblak may be a key figure in this game-after he comes off the bench, if he performs well, he can bring confidence to his teammates. If the performance is not good, it may be a crash...

But when the game restarted, Oblak had no chance to perform, but Gao Zheng attracted everyone's attention.

In the twenty-sixth minute, when Gao Zheng took the ball from the wing, facing Spasic's defense, he made a fake move pretending to pass the ball to the center to meet his teammates, deceiving Spasic to deflect his center of gravity , and Gao Zheng himself seized this opportunity to slam the football behind him with his heels. The football passed between Spasic's legs, and Gao Zheng quickly turned around to chase the ball.

This was a very beautiful dribble, and there were warm cheers at the Calderon Stadium, cheering for Gao Zheng.

However, Gao Zheng didn't complete this time, because Spahic then turned around and tackled him.

"Spasic will pay for his foul!" Jose Maria shouted, "This is a tackle from the rear, and according to the rules, this foul will definitely be called! "

Before the words fell, the referee ran to Spasic with a yellow card.

"Oh no! Spasic received a yellow card. In this way, even if Leverkusen can reach the quarter-finals, he will miss the next Champions League game!" The German commentator said disappointedly. "Spasic's foul is completely unnecessary. Turning around and shoveling like this will definitely not be able to shovel the ball... But it is also possible that Spasic was stimulated by the cheers of the Calderon Stadium and lost his mind..."

After Spasic's foul, Atletico Madrid fans and players were very dissatisfied. Although the referee gave a yellow card, their anger could not be appeased.

Because this is not the first time that Leverkusen has fouled in this game. Facing the home game and the aggressive Atletico Madrid, Leverkusen, which is only one goal ahead, can only use fouls to stop Atletico Madrid's offensive.

Those Leverkusen players who fouled before did not get a card. Until now, Leverkusen has only received the first yellow card of the game.

This angered Atletico Madrid, who believed that the referee was supposed to protect their players at home.

Spasic is also very depressed, because of this yellow card, he will miss the next Champions League game-if Leverkusen has a next game.

He complained to the referee that he did not foul on purpose, and Gao Zheng still flopped.

But the referee didn't listen to him and waved him away.

Spasic, who was running back, kept shaking his head and explained to his teammates: "I have no choice but to let him go if he doesn't make a foul. That would be a bigger threat..."

Teammates patted him on the shoulder, signaled him not to take it too seriously, and paid tribute to him for sacrificing himself to protect the interests of the team.

Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno also gave him a thumbs up: "Don't worry, we are waiting for you in the second round of the quarter-finals!"

Spasic felt slightly warmed by his teammates, and decided to put the yellow card that caused his suspension to the back of his mind, and focus on playing the game well to ensure that the team can advance to the quarter-finals.

Atletico Madrid won a free kick from the wing because of Spasic's foul. Atletico Madrid's central defenders Miranda and Jimenez both came to Leverkusen's goal, ready to compete for the top.

After everything was ready, the referee blew his whistle to indicate that Atletico Madrid could play.

Cork kicked the football towards the goal.

Miranda sprints forward and jumps high for the top!

He hit the ball, but instead of throwing the football towards the goal, he rubbed it behind him.

At the latter point, Gao Zheng, who was originally on the line of the penalty area, suddenly advanced forward and appeared on the football landing point!

"Gao Zheng!!" He Ping shouted excitedly.

I saw that Gao Zheng, who ran to the position, did not stop the ball, but directly turned sideways and swung his left foot for a half-volley!

Ten meters away from the goal, he drew the football solidly.

Although Leverkusen's central defender Toprak stretched out his foot to block it, he still failed to touch the ball.

Goalkeeper Leno was also shaken by Toprak's kick, and he didn't save it immediately. When he saw the football flying over, it was too late.

The football flew into Leverkusen's goal!

Atletico Madrid equalized the total score in the 27th minute!

Is Moya's accidental injury the turning point of this game?

Now it seems that maybe it is.

But not the turning point that put Atletico Madrid in trouble, but the turning point that brought the dead back to life!
