Chapter 171
"GGGGGGGGG-OOOOOOOO-AAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLL！"
The DJ on the scene screamed crazily.
Instantly, the stands of the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium exploded.
The Sevilla fans who had been suppressed for most of the game were finally able to let go completely.
On the court, Reyes waved his fist excitedly after scoring a goal. However, he did not celebrate, but quickly ran into the goal and picked up the football from the net. He turned and ran towards the center circle.
They had to hurry up and score another goal.
Seeing this scene, the other players of Sevilla all followed Reyes and ran to their own half.
On the other side, the players of Atletico Madrid were a little depressed.
They defended for most of the game, but they still failed to defend.
In the end, the opponent scored a goal.
But fortunately, they were still one goal ahead.
Although the lead of this goal was not safe, they could only comfort themselves with this at this time.
Soon, the game started again.
The morale of Sevilla was greatly boosted by the recovery of a goal.
So after the game started again, Sevilla's offensive became fierce again.
For a while, there was a lot of panic in front of Atletico Madrid's goal. In the 51st minute of the game, Campana took the ball from the right and sent a cross near the baseline. Rubio followed up from the middle and headed the ball. Courtois punched the ball out of the penalty area with both fists. Outside the penalty area, Reyes got the ball and fired a heavy shot.
The football rubbed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
Seeing the football he shot slip through the goal, Reyes shook his head regretfully.
On the other side, everyone in Atletico Madrid was scared and sweating.
But before they could completely let go, Sevilla made a comeback again. In the 54th minute of the game, when Raul Garcia was dribbling in the midfield, Navas, who came up to defend Sevilla, directly slid and cut the ball off.
After cutting off the ball, Navas made a long pass and found Rubio who was moving at the front of the penalty area.
Rubio did not stop the ball, but directly stretched out his foot and cushioned the ball to Reyes on the right side of the penalty area.
Reyes stretched out his foot and gently removed the ball, and then before the Atletico Madrid defender came up to intercept, he passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area with another cross pass.
There, Negredo had already outflanked and kicked the ball directly at the ball kicked by Reyes.
Seeing this scene, all the Atletico Madrid players were heartbroken.
But in the end, Courtois, who fell to the ground to save the shot, flicked it with his finger, changed the direction, hit the left post of the goal, and bounced out of the bottom line.
Seeing that his close shot was saved by some strange coincidence, Negredo widened his eyes in disbelief.
The Sevilla fans in the stands also sighed.
After Courtois, who saved the shot, got up from the ground, he waved his fist and roared.
The save just now showed his reaction speed and goal-line skills to the fullest.
With this save, the young goalkeeper deserves the title of Atletico Madrid's first goalkeeper.
Although he was only loaned from Chelsea.
But here, he realized his own value with his own strength.
Atletico Madrid's teammates came up to pay tribute to Courtois.
If today's game can be won in the end, then there are two people who have made great contributions.
One is of course Lin Rui who scored the goal, and the other is definitely Courtois.
If it weren't for Courtois today, the score would definitely not be 2-1 at this time. It's 2-2 or 3-2.
If that's the case, with the current strength of Atletico Madrid, it would be difficult to turn the tables.
Otherwise, how can you say that a good goalkeeper is worth half a team.
Sevilla got a corner kick opportunity.
However, the football kicked by Campana was directly picked up in the air by Courtois, who was in full swing.
Then Courtois threw the ball directly by hand to launch a fast break.
Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to launch a wave of fast breaks.
But in the end, Raul Garcia slipped when shooting, and the football he shot directly deviated from the course and flew out of the baseline.
In the following games, Sevilla continued to press Atletico Madrid's offense, but there was no situation that threatened the goal too much.
Atletico Madrid was not just defending.
Occasionally, when there was a suitable opportunity, they would launch a counterattack.
This made Sevilla dare not press too hard.
And the game time was consumed little by little under such a back and forth pull.
At the beginning, Sevilla was able to advance step by step and execute according to the established tactics.
But as time went on, watching the game time pass little by little, the time to the end of the game was getting closer and closer.
Sevilla's players began to get anxious.
Now there is still one goal left. If they lose the game because of this one goal in the end, it will be very cowardly.
So after having this mentality, Sevilla's attack began to become impatient. In the 79th minute of the game, Sevilla's right back Fazio crossed the center line on the right and came up to assist.
He had also made several assists before.
But this time, when he passed the ball in the frontcourt, something went wrong.
The ball he passed was intercepted by Mario Suarez halfway.
Suarez, who intercepted Fazio's pass, saw the empty space and made a long pass to Thiago who was moving on the left.
At this time, Sevilla's side was completely empty because of Fazio's assist.
After receiving the ball, Thiago drove straight in and advanced directly to the front court without being marked.
It was not until this time that a Sevilla central defender came up to intercept and prevent Thiago from cutting inside. Thiago did not continue to dribble the ball, but directly passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.
There, Lin Rui and Costa came up one after the other.
Because a central defender had already come over to intercept Thiago, there was only a central defender and a midfielder defending in the penalty area at this time.
Faced with such a defense, Lin Rui didn't care at all. He jumped high and rushed to the ball before the Sevilla defenders. He shook his head fiercely and headed the football.
""Bang!"
A dull crash sounded in the penalty area.
The football hit Lin Rui's forehead hard, then changed direction and plunged into the upper right corner of the goal.
