Chapter 505 Manchester City's Last Stand

Chapter 505 Manchester City in the Last Stand

The second round of the Champions League group stage is over.

The current situation in Group A is very favorable for Atletico Madrid. After two consecutive victories, Atletico Madrid scored six points and ranked first in the group, while Bayern Munich ranked second in the group with three points. Naples and Manchester City are the same One point is awarded to rank third and fourth respectively.

"It's too early to talk about qualifying. There are still four games in the group stage. For any team, there are still 12 points to fight for."

After the game, Gao Bo did not appear too happy.

Consecutive away games have also put Atletico Madrid's players in a period of physical exhaustion. Especially in the last two games, they have encountered strong enemies in a row, and they are still playing away from home. Traveling on the road will consume more physical energy.

Fortunately, these two difficult games, Atletico Madrid finally gnawed down.

.....

On the fourth day after returning from Italy, Atletico Madrid ushered in a home game.

In the seventh round of the league, Atletico Madrid faced Sevilla at home.

Although Gao Bo made a rotation in this game, the players' performance on the court was not satisfactory.

Sevilla's defense is very tenacious, and for Atletico Madrid, their attack seems to have no sharpness.

Atlético de Madrid endured a dull draw at home.

It was Atletico Madrid's first draw of the season, coming a little earlier than last season.

After the game, Gao Bo shook his head.

The long season, the Champions League and the league, and the Copa del Rey in the future. Now the impact of the intensive schedule has begun to show.

Fortunately, after this game, there will be a month and a half of national team game days.

Most of the members of the first team were recruited at once. The main players of Atlético de Madrid’s first team are almost all international players of various national teams. On the national team match day, Atlético de Madrid’s training can only be based on basic training. In terms of tactical training, due to the fact that most of the players in the first team have been transferred, it is also difficult for Atletico Madrid to do complex tactical training for the time being.

Gao Bo paid close attention to the national team game day for two consecutive weeks.

He is mainly worried about the injury of his players. On October 13th, the players came back from various national teams one after another.

The medical department immediately conducted a new check on the players to ensure that they would not leave any hidden dangers of injury in the national team game.

Fortunately, this time on the national team's game day, Atletico Madrid has no injured players for the time being.

And on October 16, the eighth round of the league, Atletico Madrid away to Granada.

At the Carmenez Stadium, a small stadium that can only accommodate more than 20,000 people, Atletico Madrid ushered in a big victory!

In the ninth minute of the game, Reyes, who returned to the starting lineup, provided an assist. He made a cross from the side. Diego Costa, who had a chance to start in this game, changed the direction of the football slightly. Rolled into the goal from the keeper's feet!

Atletico Madrid got off to a fantastic start.

Atletico Madrid then took full control. In the 20th minute of the game, Griezmann's inside shot helped the team extend the lead.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid's goals did not stop.

In the 60th minute, Diego Costa scored twice and scored a goal in the penalty area, rewriting the score to 3-0.

Not long after that, centre-back Lucio took advantage of a corner kick and scored a header, making it 4-0!

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat their opponents 5-0 away, and Koke, who came off the bench, scored the icing on the cake and scored a long-range goal!

After the national team game, Atlético de Madrid declared their continued strength in the league with a big win.

However, compared to Real Madrid's seven-game winning streak since the start of the league, Atletico Madrid is slightly inferior. Mourinho's team is unstoppable!

La Liga this season,

The competition between the three super-strong teams has brought the competition for the league championship into a white-hot stage early on.

Barcelona also won, and the current standings are that Real Madrid ranks first with seven consecutive victories and 21 points, Atletico Madrid ranks second with six wins and one draw with nineteen points, and Barcelona ranks tenth with six wins and one loss. Eight points ranked third.

This is the first group in La Liga, and behind them is Valencia, who has scored 14 points. The gap between Valencia and the top three is very obvious.

.....

The domestic league is over, Atletico Madrid is non-stop, and they will go to England immediately.

On October 21st, the third round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid away to Manchester City!

Manchester City has again aggressively recruited in the summer transfer window this season. The transfer fee in one transfer window is more than 100 million yuan, which makes other teams in a league with deep pockets such as the Premier League also make a staggering investment.

And this season, Manchester City has performed very strongly in the Premier League. They have won seven and one draw in the first eight rounds of the Premier League! However, in the Champions League, Manchester City's performance disappointed their fans.

In the first round, they were fortunate to draw with Naples at home, and in the second round they lost to Bayern without fighting back. This time, they faced the group No. 1 Atletico Madrid at home. The English media was still very pessimistic about Manchester City's prospects.

"Sky Sports" said in the preview of the game: "In the first two games of the Champions League, one draw and one loss, Manchester City only scored one point after two rounds. Compared with their luxurious formation, such points The result is really ironic. It is the first time in 43 years that we are in the Champions League again. In 43 years, world football has completely changed. Manchester City's mercenaries can kill the Quartet in the league, but when they meet the real players in the Champions League When facing tough opponents, this team lacks the willpower to unite and face strong opponents. They are scattered, especially when they play Bayern Munich away. If Manchester City wants to get rid of the "mercenaries" If they are named, they must show some performance in this game. Atletico Madrid, this is a rival that is probably stronger than Bayern Munich.”

Sky Sports is still polite, and some other English tabloids simply mocked Manchester City as a "nouveau riche"!

Different from the various teams that are now begging for oil capital to be lucky, in the eyes of conservative British people, not to mention that a team like Manchester City is controlled by oil capital, and even Manchester United was acquired by American capital, which also caused an uproar. What's more, Manchester City's performance in the transfer market after being acquired... is indeed in line with the image of a nouveau riche.

In this game, in addition to some of the media supporting Manchester City, other English media generally believe that this game of Manchester City is likely to be miserable. In addition to the strength of Atletico Madrid, their coach Gao Bo also knows English football quite well - Gao Bo became famous from the English arena.

And once Manchester City loses to Atletico Madrid at home, the luxurious division built with hundreds of millions of pounds cannot make it out of the Champions League group, I am afraid it will become an international joke.

"We will win!! We will prove to the outside world Manchester City's unity and fighting spirit!" Manchester City captain Kompany obviously disagreed with the English media's statement!

"Gao Bo knows English football very well? There are a lot of changes here. The current Premier League is not the Premier League two years ago. Gao Bo led Luton to victory over Manchester City, but Manchester City at that time was not the Manchester City it is now!"

"We will win at home! Qualifying is our lowest goal!!" Dawei Silva said.

"It's a tough game, it's a real test for the team!" Manchester City coach Mancini said to reporters.

Manchester City are all expressing their determination to this game!

For Manchester City, in the third round of the group stage, they will fight their last battle!
