In the media reports on the second day, the focus battle between Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich is naturally a game that has attracted much media attention!
Atlético de Madrid reversed and defeated Bayern Munich after falling behind by two goals. In their own home, Atlético de Madrid showed their strong strength. Even an opponent like Bayern Munich did not face this stadium. Take away the points when Atlético de Madrid!
Calderon Stadium! This stadium has become a veritable devil's home in La Liga! !

In the other game in this group, Manchester City played against Naples at home. Mancini's team drew a 1-1 draw with their opponents at home, with Manchester City and Naples each taking a point.
The two teams have no winner, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Bayern Munich. Although they lost in the first round of the group stage, they are only one point behind Manchester City and Naples. For Atletico Madrid, A draw between competitors is undoubtedly a good thing.
Now Atletico Madrid ranks first in the group with three points, while Manchester City and Naples are separated from the second or third, and Bayern Mooney is the last. After the first round of the group, Atletico Madrid immediately became the favorite to qualify for the group!
The Spanish media are very optimistic about Atletico Madrid qualifying for the group stage. After all, even Bayern Mooney has won a lot, and it is not too difficult to win against Manchester City and Naples.
However, Gao Bo was very low-key after the game, and every opponent in this group should not be underestimated, so Gao Bo did not appear too optimistic after the game: "Our next game schedule is very intensive, this period is a very big time for us. The test, at least before the second round of the group stage, we have to play three games, which also includes the away game against Barcelona, so we have to be very careful, fighting on three fronts, for my players and team, It's all a test, but I'm sure my players can adapt to this rhythm, they're the best pros!"
Gao Bo is right, because of participating in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid's schedule this season is much more difficult than last season!
On the third day after playing Bayern Munich at home, on September 18, Atlético de Madrid is about to play the fourth round of the league, facing Atlético Santander at home, and on September 22, fifth in the league Home round against Sporting Gijon, September 25th, the sixth round of the league away to Barcelona, September 30th, the second round of the Champions League group stage away to Naples, October 2nd, the seventh round of the league against Sevi Leah!
All of them are played in a three-day rhythm, especially starting from Barcelona, Atletico Madrid can be said to be facing strong enemies in a row!
This is a very severe test for the team's physical fitness and bench.
Intensive schedule, injury situation has to be taken into account. Reyes' post-game test results came in, he sprained his ankle and is expected to miss two weeks.
Not long after the start of the season, Atletico Madrid will soon taste the impact of the Champions League on the team.
......
On September 18, in the fourth round of the league game against Sporting Santander, Gao Bo made a rotation of the team's lineup, but the rotation was not large.
Mainly in the midfield, Mario Suarez, Kante, Koke played, on the peak line, Greizman, Aguero, Mane played, and other positions still maintained and played Bayern Munich in the last game The same lineup as the starting lineup.
Atletico Madrid, which has rotated three main players, did not have any surprises at home.
They smashed their opponents with a score of 4-0 and won the league's three-game winning streak since the start of the league!
After this game, Atlético Madrid played against Sporting Gijon at home. Since they had to play Barcelona three days later, the team made a big adjustment.
Several core main players are sitting on the bench. Griezmann, Aguero, Modric, Kante, and two full-backs were also temporarily on the bench. The start of this game, the extent of Atletico Madrid's rotation was surprising.
The goalkeeper is naturally Navas. On the back line, Miranda and Lucio start. Alba on the left and Carvajal on the right have the opportunity to start. Midfielders Gabi, Raul Garcia, Koke , Mario Suarez, four midfielders played side by side, the forward line, the top is Diego Costa, behind him is Mane.
In this game, Atletico Madrid played a 442 formation.
Before the game, televised footage gave Gao Bo a close-up.
"Atlético de Madrid's rotation is very large. Obviously, coach Gao Bo is targeting the game against Barcelona. He needs to rest the main players and deal with Barcelona wholeheartedly! But ... the rotation is so large, in case here If there is something unexpected in the game, what's the point of winning Barcelona several times?"
Aduris didn't quite understand Gao Bo's choice.
Because in the eyes of outsiders, with so many substitute players, it may be difficult for Atletico Madrid to win even at home.
Athletic Gijon is a La Liga team anyway, with such a large rotation range, even at home, Atletico Madrid, whose strength has declined so obviously, may give Sporting Gijon an opportunity!
This is the view of most people.
But in Gao Bo's view, this rotation lineup is not weak at all!
Even in the toughness of defense, this lineup is even stronger than the main lineup. Several players in the midfield all have considerable physical confrontation ability and defensive strength!
In this game, Gao Bo also played the advantage of the midfield. From the beginning, Atletico Madrid used a suffocating midfield to press, so that Sporting Gijon, who was ready to do some good things on the road, was completely blocked behind him. field.
Sporting Gijon saw Atlético de Madrid rotate so much, and their players also seemed to feel offended and underestimated. So they started playing with the idea of teaching Atlético Madrid a lesson.
But Atletico Madrid was not taught a lesson. Sporting Gijon was beaten by Atlético de Madrid on the road...
In the first half of the game, Mane and Diego Costa scored respectively, helping Atletico Madrid take a two-goal lead.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Mario Suarez headed the ball into the net through a corner kick, making it 3-0.
After 70 minutes of the game, Gao Bo replaced several main players one after another, allowing them to come out and feel the atmosphere of the game.
In the end, Griezmann, who came on as a substitute, was fouled in the penalty area and Atletico Madrid won a penalty.
This season, Gao Bo adjusted the order of penalty kicks.
Griezmann is now Atletico Madrid's first penalty taker.
And he lived up to expectations, taking a penalty kick easily, the score became 4-0!
Atlético de Madrid seal the victory!
This is also the score after the end of the game. Atletico Madrid also played a 4-0 victory with a substitute lineup!
This game also made the Spanish media admire Atletico Madrid's bench lineup with admiration.
"There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid has a very deep bench, and this is overlooked by many people. From this game, Atletico Madrid's bench is not even worse than Barcelona and Real Madrid! "
"With such a bench lineup, we can really say now that La Liga may really enter the era of the Troika from now on!"
