Chapter 181 The Hillbilly's Counterattack

Marcos Alonso turned his head back, stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and then almost subconsciously popped out such a sentence: "Damn it..."

As a head coach, even if he looks down on Getafe, he still has to do his homework, so he still knows Getafe's tactics.

What's more, Getafe's tactics are not secret, not complicated, and have been analyzed badly by the media.

Therefore, he knows that defensive counterattack is Getafe's biggest weapon.

In fact, he also made special arrangements before the game, requiring the team to be particularly careful to prevent Getafe's defensive counterattack.

At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid really noticed this aspect. No matter how they attack, the personnel on the back line will not easily press forward.

But as the game progressed, Atlético's attention shifted from Getafe's counterattacks to physical confrontations as Getafe began to flex their muscles more.

They began to think more about how to compete with each other's bodies.

Gradually ignored Getafe's defensive counterattack, or in their hearts, Getafe's muscles are their biggest threat, as for defensive counterattack or something, they have no longer cared about it.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Getafe launched a high-quality counterattack!

Marcos Alonso didn't see the first half of the counterattack, and when he looked back, Getafe's counterattack had already hit the frontcourt.

In fact, the starting point of this counterattack was at Kiko's feet.

Kiko took the ball before going in and was immediately attacked by two Getafe players.

Kiko, who was timid, panicked. The football under his feet was out of control, and he was forced by Carlos Campo and Jose Passarella, and lost possession of the ball.

After breaking the ball, Carlos Campo quickly passed diagonally. Passed the football to Luis Garcia in the frontcourt.

Luis Garcia gave full play to the solid basic skills and skills he had learned in the La Masia youth training camp, and unloaded this extremely difficult long pass from the air beautifully, stopping the ball, adjusting and dribbling in one go , without wasting a second.

This is also what Chang Sheng repeatedly emphasized in training.

What matters the most in a counterattack, is time.

So in counterattack,

If even half a second can be saved, it may bring completely different results to this counterattack.

So often win in training. In particular, every player participating in the counterattack must have a correct attitude towards the simple basic action of stopping and catching the ball.

He asked the players to touch the ball as little as possible and adjust as little as possible in the counterattack.

The counterattack must be smooth, that's all. Only then can a truly threatening counterattack be formed.

Otherwise, if one or two players make several adjustments when stopping the ball, the counterattack may not be possible at all.

Such situations are very common in counterattacks. When Chang Sheng was a fan, he had seen this situation countless times while watching football, so after he became the head coach, he implemented defensive counterattack tactics. Just pay special attention to this.

Now his rigor and discipline in training has paid off.

Luis Garcia's stop was very precise, and Getafe's counterattack appeared to be particularly smooth. Naturally, there is only one word - fast! Two words - really fast! Three words - unbelievably fast!

※※※

Luis Garcia dribbles forward with the ball.

Atlético Madrid's defenders hastily organized the defense.

Their previous attention was on the physical confrontation with Getafe, but now Getafe will not show their muscles with them. Instead, it showed speed!

Whether it is muscle or speed, for Atletico Madrid now. All deadly!

Besides, Getafe's counterattack is not just as simple as being fast!

They are one of the few teams that can have multiple changes in the process of quick counterattacks.

Faster and more changeable. It makes the counterattack that is already difficult to defend even more difficult to defend.

Luis Garcia did not dribble directly towards Atletico Madrid's goal, the opponent's defensive center of gravity has been tilted to his side.

So if he continues to dribble, it is very likely that he will directly bring the football to a dead end.

Atlético would have a lot easier to defend if he continued to dribble the ball wide.

So he led the football to the middle, so that he had more options to choose from, and it became more difficult for the opponent to defend.

Sure enough, the Atlético Madrid players panicked when they saw Luis Garcia dribbling the ball in the middle.

Charisteas was dragging to the ribs, and Mista ran to the side. The two of them tore apart Atletico Madrid's defenders from left to right, and tore apart Atletico Madrid's defense.

In the middle of their defense, there was a brief gap.

It was this fleeting space that was seized by Luis Garcia. He suddenly accelerated and rushed in with the ball!

When Atletico Madrid's defense reacted and closed the door, it was too late.

Luis Garcia enters the box!

"He's in!!" Crespo yelled, a little excited.

Seeing this scene, Getafe fans also gave out huge cheers.

This is the best chance Getafe has had since the start of the game!

※※※

The huge cheers of the Getafe fans intensified the panic among the Atletico Madrid players, and three Atletico Madrid defenders rushed towards Luis Garcia.

In the eyes of defenders, players with the ball will always be more threatening than players without the ball.

Of course, Atletico Madrid was not completely dizzy. After all, they are all experienced players, so there is still one person left to deal with Charisteas.

As for Mista who has been pulled to the side, no one cares about him. He was so wide that even if Luis Garcia passed the ball to him, he couldn't directly threaten the goal. Still have to pass the football to the middle.

So you don't have to worry about it.

Luis Garcia was waiting for this moment. Seeing these people rushing towards him, he quickly distributed the football, but he did not pass it to Mista. Not for Charisteas either.

Instead it was passed on to... Balzaretti!

The full-back who had jumped in at high speed from the counterattack did not appear on the wing at this moment, but inserted into the penalty area at some point!

Then he receives a pass from Luis Garcia.

Luis Garcia's pass really surprised the Atletico Madrid players. No one would have thought that the football was passed to a full-back...

"Balzare—"

Crespo pulled a long voice and shouted loudly.

In his long voice, the Italian full-back swung his left foot which sent seventeen precise crosses.

But this time, it wasn't a cross.

Instead... shoot! ! !

"—Titi Titi Titi!!!"

Balzaretti hit the ball hard with the instep of his left foot.

There was a muffled bang, and the fans in the stands on this side heard it clearly.

The ball that was drawn by Balzaretti has no arc at all, it rushes straight towards the...near corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Tony has turned to this side urgently. Also seals the near corner. But his center of gravity was too low, and his whole body was almost lying on the ground.

And the football shot by Balzaretti rushed to the upper corner!

Tony conditioned reflexes to raise his arms, but his movements were still too slow for this powerful blast that was so close at hand.

The football flew into the goal from above his hand. Like a shooting star, it plunged into the net...

No one expected that Getafe would take the lead in the twenty-seventh minute of the game!

Balzaretti kicked Atletico Madrid to the brink with his second league goal of the season!

※※※

Tony knelt on the ground. Hands raised high, turned to look at the football that has flown into the goal, this action looks like a gesture of surrender to Balzaretti and Getafe.

The other Atlético Madrid players were also stunned when they saw this scene.

Those Atletico Madrid players who chased back. Seeing the ball, they all stopped chasing it. Watching all this blankly, it seems that they still can't believe what they saw.

The Getafe players beside them raised their arms. He jumped up and cheered.

The very different performances of the two teams' players are in stark contrast.

Balzaretti, who scored the goal, stepped back, pointing both hands to Luis Garcia who assisted him, and shouted loudly: "Come on, buddy!"

Luis Garcia opened his arms and ran towards Balzaretti. The two then hugged each other, and other Getafe players rushed to them, surrounded them and hugged them.

At this moment in the Alfonso Perez Stadium, apart from the hoarse cheers of the Getafe fans, there was no other sound!

Ahead of Atletico Madrid!

This was something they didn't even dare to think about before, but at this moment, it has become a reality!

The rednecks on the outskirts of Madrid vented their excitement as if they had won the race. In the eyes of those glamorous and noble people, this kind of performance will definitely get a "good-for-nothing" evaluation.

But the country boys are so new to the world, this is not their shortcoming. Because of this, they have the motivation and determination to keep going up.

Work hard to change your destiny, and never back down even in the face of a powerful enemy.

Compared with those who no longer know what a dream is, they dare to dream of the impossible, which in itself is their greatest advantage and strength, because it means that there are infinite possibilities in them.

They are not hypocritical, confirm their reality, and worship a bright future.

So when they score, it will be so crazy and exciting.

They don't care what others think of them. Compared with other people's opinions, the leading reality is more important!

In the background for the ecstatic Getafe are the transfixed Atlético Madrid players.

Their previous pride and sense of superiority were now shattered by the bumpkin's goal!
