Chapter 571 Ominous Premonition
噺⑧One Chinese website
Chapter five hundred and seventy first ominous foreboding
In the Champions League met Barcelona.
Gaubo knows this is not an easy opponent to play against, even though his team has beaten Barcelona five times - and he seems to be the manager who has beaten Guardiola the most times.
And he is the manager who has beaten Mourinho the most times.
But these are of no use.
Because Guardiola has two Champions League titles and Mourinho has two Champions League titles.
And Gao Bo has only one Europa League champion in the European war.
There is no coach who can win the Champions League and can only dominate the league. In the hearts of fans, I am afraid it is almost meaningless.
The Champions League is the highest-level competition in the world. Although the Champions League final is far less influential than the World Cup final, if it is purely analyzed from the technical content of the game, the Champions League final is even higher than the World Cup final.
National teams are often flawed in one way or another.
For example, the Spanish midfielder is very strong, but their forwards are not picked up. Villa can still play, but now I can't see who can take over after Villa.
Diego Costa is good, but his style seems to be out of tune with the Spanish national team.
Argentina has Messi, Aguero, Higuain, and Di Maria in the forward line. If you just look at the forwards, Argentina is undoubtedly one of the strongest attacking teams in the world. Not as luxurious as their forward line.
This may be because the football culture of each country is different, creating such a result.
Spain played the midfielder and Italy played the defender.
This has created a stereotype of people.
But the Champions League is different.
The Champions League is a club competition!
Clubs can choose players from all over the world.
The selection of head coaches is much larger than that of the national team.
Therefore, the teams that can reach the Champions League final are those teams that are quite strong on all three fronts.
It is not easy for any team to win the Champions League.
Even Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United, has only two Champions League titles in his hands.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the Champions League match with Barcelona, Gao Bo made a large rotation in the 34th round of the league, Atletico Madrid's away game against Vallecano.
Reyes, who came back from injury, got a chance to play in this game. Gao Bo's original plan was to let Reyes find his form in this game. If his form was decent, he would let Reyes play against Barcelona. Started in the game.
After all, Mane is still too young. Compared with Mane, Gao Bo is more willing to trust Reyes in key battles.
The result of the game was zero to one, with Atlético de Madrid winning away.
But what worries Atletico Madrid fans is that Reyes voluntarily applied for the game before halftime.
The adductor muscle on the back of his right thigh felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't continue the game.
This forced Gao Bo to temporarily replace Mane, and in the Champions League semi-final four days later, Reyes may not be able to play.
At the end of the season, players such as Reyes who were originally relatively glassy began to suffer frequent injuries.
......
After the 34th round of the league, the Champions League game is coming soon.
Atletico Madrid will play Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final!
"Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona have met too often in the past two seasons. After Gao Bo came to Barcelona, the two sides played against each other five times, and Atlético de Madrid won these five times, including a five-nil home and away game. A big victory! Atletico Madrid seems to be Barcelona's nemesis, and what will be the result of this match between the two sides?"
Before the game began, the commentators were guessing what the next game would be like.
For Barcelona,
This is their chance for revenge!
This is the first time the two teams have played against each other in the Champions League. Barcelona believes that in the league, Barcelona may really be restrained by Atletico Madrid, but in the Champions League, Barcelona may have an advantage.
The Champions League is different from the league!
Before the game, Barcelona's mouthpieces were emphasizing this, emboldening Barcelona fans.
With always losing to Atlético de Madrid, Barcelona fans are also fearful of Atlético de Madrid...
.....
Gao Bo and his Atlético de Madrid are no strangers to the Camp Nou.
They had very good memories here.
This time they are also full of fighting spirit and want to win a victory here.
Twenty minutes of match money and everything went well.
While Atletico Madrid did not score, neither did Barcelona.
In this game, Gao Bo still sent all his main force. Except for Reyes who was injured and unable to play, Atlético de Madrid was regarded as sending the strongest lineup.
And so does Barcelona.
Atlético de Madrid also made some tweaks to their tactics when dealing with Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid was not obsessed with possession of the ball in this game, but played faster and more directly on the offensive end, and when defending, it also used tough pressing and physical movement to force Barcelona, forcing them to change their rhythm as well. quick.
Gao Bo's purpose is to make Barcelona unable to control the ball well.
Barcelona, on the other hand, continued to strengthen their tike-taka tactics, using absolute possession to find opportunities.
In this game, according to the characteristics of Barcelona, Gao Bo also made corresponding arrangements.
For example, pressing in the frontcourt and intensive defense in the middle.
When the team loses the ball, the players in the frontcourt are responsible for harassing the players holding the ball around the opponent, so that the opponent cannot quickly pass through the midfield.
At the same time, the players in the midfield and backfield must quickly retreat and return to their defense areas. If Barcelona attacks, Atletico Madrid will start a tough press in the midfield. If they don't come up, the team does not need to worry at all.
Barcelona was not in a hurry, both sides were very cautious in the first 20 minutes.
However, in the 21st minute of the game, the situation suddenly changed.
Iniesta picked a pass from the penalty area, Messi stopped the ball on his chest in the penalty area, and then Sandro stretched out one foot. While shoving the ball away, he and Messi both fell to the ground.
Gao Bo's heart tightened when he saw this scene.
Then the whistle was heard!
The Dutch referee Kupes ran into the penalty area and pointed to the penalty spot while blowing the whistle!
penalty? !
Gao Bo groaned in his heart.
To say that the defensive arrangement of this game, Atletico Madrid has done a good job, but it still found a loophole for Messi!
As for whether this is a penalty kick, Gao Bo is actually not very sure.
But this did not delay his protest.
He immediately found the fourth official and questioned the penalty.
The players on the field were also protesting loudly, but to no avail.
After the referee makes a decision, it will not change.
Messi stood in the penalty area holding the ball, waiting for the penalty kick.
"PENALTIES!!! Barcelona got a penalty in the 21st minute!"
"Sandro raised his foot a little higher. Although he touched the ball first, the referee may think that his move was dangerous and it was very big, so he awarded a penalty kick!"
This penalty is actually not controversial, so Atlético Madrid accepted its fate after watching the protest for a while.
Otherwise, it is not worthwhile to get a yellow card because of this.
And Gao Bo smelled a different meaning from this penalty.
He looked at the referee and had an ominous feeling in his heart.
