The match remained intensely contested.

Didi di.

Burgos' Google high-tech glasses emitted a notification sound.

"Pay attention to that Morata kid; he's the best striker in Europe right now!"

"Focus on cutting off his connection with Li!"

A few minutes later.

Kant successfully intercepted Griezmann, and Drinkwater controlled the ball.

The two midfielders who made their name at Leicester City showed excellent chemistry.

Drinkwater sent a grounded long pass, finding Chelsea's number 10 in an open space.

The moment Li Kang received the ball.

Koke, Saul, and Gabi quickly formed a three-man surround.

Sliding tackle.

Foot out.

Positioning.

Li Kang performed an L-shaped pull, dodging Gabi's sliding tackle.

Then, with a step, he adjusted his center of gravity.

An outside step turn.

Giving himself the perfect passing space.

Gasps of amazement echoed throughout the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

The audience was stunned: What kind of freakish ball sense is that!

Pa!

The ball lifted off the ground, bypassed Atletico Madrid's midfield barrier, and fell straight towards the edge of the penalty area.

Morata's heart was in sync.

Godin and Giménez tried to "close the door"!

They couldn't!

The King of the Weak Foot's starting timing was near perfect, and his explosive speed was terrifying!

In an instant, he shook off Atletico Madrid's defense by half a body length.

Johan Cruyff once said: 'It's not that I run fast, but the timing of my start makes me look fast.'

The ball descended.

Morata raised his right foot.

Bang!

The ball roared towards the lower left corner of Atletico Madrid's goal.

Oblak looked relaxed, moved in advance, and made a perfect diving save.

The red gloves firmly embraced the ball.

Whoosh!

The sighs of Chelsea fans were instantly drowned out by the cheers of Atletico Madrid fans.

"Great shot!"

"Great save!"

"Oblak has made 96 appearances for Atletico Madrid so far, with 63 clean sheets! In the 《442》 annual awards, he is the undisputed best goalkeeper in the world!"

"The 24-year-old genius from Slovenia!"

"Chelsea's attack this time also stemmed from a counter-attack."

"The transition attacks of the two teams are truly amazing."

Simeone applauded excitedly.

Tuchel remained as steady as a rock.

In the live broadcast room.

The big screen replayed Li Kang's brilliant escape, Morata's volley, and Oblak's extended save.

-

[Li Mingdeng's style of getting rid of defenders is more and more like a combination of Ronaldinho and Baggio. His improvement every season is so exaggerated.]

-

[I thought Morata would shoot the ball into the stands.]

-

[Is Oblak the best goalkeeper in the world right now?]

Morata tidied up his hair and turned to give Li Kang a thumbs up.

Godin and Giménez excitedly hugged Oblak.

Li Kang tied his shoelaces.

Not tired at all.

The achievement of the Iberian Peninsula Hero had already been triggered.

Saul reached out and patted him lightly on the back, wondering, "How come you're sweating so little?"

36th minute of the match.

Kant once again disrupted Carrasco's advance.

Drinkwater controlled the loose ball in time.

Then he sent a long pass, finding Marcos advancing on the left.

"Li Kang, Morata, and Marcos form a triangle."

"Marcos passes the ball to Morata at the front!"

"Morata touches the ball once and passes it back to Li Kang behind him."

"Li Kang is surrounded."

"Continuous steps to shake out passing space and distribute to Moses."

"The ball was destroyed by Filipe who was pressing forward!"

"It didn't go out of bounds!"

"Azpilicueta stopped the ball."

Azpilicueta sent a through ball.

Finding Morata again.

Under Saul's interference, Morata couldn't turn around and still passed the ball back to Li Kang.

Koke and Gabi quickly approached.

Li Kang touched the ball once and passed it horizontally to Drinkwater.

Atletico Madrid's midfield continued to strangle.

Drinkwater could only pass the ball back to Kant.

Kant sent a through ball to Li Kang.

The Cruyff triangle was repeatedly compressed into a line by Atletico Madrid's midfield.

Driving to the side.

Rhombus cutting.

Limiting blind spots.

Li Kang had already run into a comfortable passing environment.

A long pass.

Tore through Atletico Madrid's central interception line.

"Outside curve!"

"Beautiful!"

"The ball's momentum is too strong."

"Oh, what a pity."

Azpilicueta was firmly blocked by Godin and watched helplessly as the ball rolled out of the baseline.

Live broadcast room.

-

[No one can do anything to anyone.]

-

[Chelsea needs to greatly increase the support points in the middle of the formation to resolve Atletico Madrid's strangulation.]

-

[Atletico Madrid also needs to greatly increase the support points in the middle of the formation in the autonomous attack stage to resolve Chelsea's strangulation.]

-

[There are too few attacking points at the front of the formation.]

-

[Damn, is there no ball?] Golden Book House

The next game.

Both sides didn't have many chances.

The field seemed to be crushed into pieces, and the ball was difficult to advance into the dangerous area.

Li Kang orchestrated in the middle.

Continuous escape, long and short guidance.

Causing Atletico Madrid fans to also can't help but applaud.

The energetic Atletico Madrid players defended very cleanly.

As of 2018, in past European matches, Atletico Madrid had very few fouls. They had only 7 fouls in the entire match in the semi-final against Bayern Munich.

The goal that the audience was looking forward to hadn't arrived yet, and the referee had already blown the whistle to end the first half.

Beep! Beep beep~

The players from both sides slowly left the field.

Dino quickly handed Li Kang a dry towel and sports drink.

"Li, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Li Kang shook his head.

From some point on, every halftime, he felt like he was being "cared for" like a boxer.

Atletico Madrid's locker room.

Simeone loudly explained the adjustments for the second half.

"In the second half, we must optimize the details of the transition attack and lure their defense to press forward."

"Space."

"The defensive methods they showed in the first half were relatively simple, always resolving pressure by locking down our midfield."

"As long as we strengthen the repeated horizontal passes in the middle and increase the frequency of the shuttle runs on the wings, we can create a complete attacking chain."

Very concise language adjustment.

Behind it hides a full degree of offensive freedom.

Are Atletico Madrid players really all trained to be worker bees?

No.

Watching Atletico Madrid's matches, fans will find that the Mattress Makers' attackers are very, very creative in the transition attack phase.

If they were all worker bees strictly implementing offensive routines.

There would be no brilliant moments of Saul dribbling past five players in a row.

Simeone didn't continue to say any encouraging words.

Atletico Madrid players were still full of fighting spirit.

Chelsea's locker room.

Tuchel drew a horizontal line on the tactical board.

A horizontal line marked with time semicolons.

He patiently explained the tactical tendencies at different time nodes in the second half.

"When facing Atletico Madrid, every stage of our autonomous attack hides a great risk behind it."

"The risk is greater than any opponent."

"We must cover up the flaws in the high defensive line as quickly as possible."

"In the positional warfare stage, we can appropriately increase meaningless repeated passes."

The disciples understood.
