Eight Hundred and Seventy-Six, All Efforts Are in Vain

876 It is in vain

At half-time, Simeone made adjustments to his tactics in the second half.

He gave up his previous idea of ​​a counter-attack, and instead let his team play an active attack at home.

There is a statistic that is very unfavorable to Atletico Madrid. In the restructured Champions League knockout round, none of the teams that lost 0-2 at home in the first round can make a comeback on the road!

For Atletico Madrid, what they need to do now is to shorten the score gap as much as possible while scoring goals!

After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid made a substitution.

This season, the Spanish striker Villa, who joined Atletico Madrid this season, replaced Raul Garcia!

This substitution means a change in Simeone's tactics!

They are going to press the attack!

Gao Bo was very clear when he saw this substitution.

Simeone put Diego Costa and Villa on the front line, playing double center.

On both sides are Saul and Mane.

These two players have good speed and breakthrough ability. Atletico Madrid hopes to create opportunities through flank assaults.

However, Gao Bo is not worried about Atletico Madrid's wing attack.

Because of the centre-back combination of Kompany and Umtiti.

One old and one young, the partners are still very tacit.

The speed of Manchester City's two full-backs is not slow, they are not afraid of Mane and Saul on the wing.

After seeing Simeone's adjustment, Gao Bo was unmoved.

Abandoning the defensive counterattack, Simeone may not make his team stronger.

......

Simeone has put Bao on the attack, hoping his team's offense will pick up.

But even luck was not on his side.

Because the second half just started five minutes,

Mane was injured.

The team doctor's initial examination was a muscle strain, and such an injury obviously cannot remain on the field.

On the sidelines, Simeone's anger was visible to all.

The Argentine coach smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground.

In this game, Simeone felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time!

This feeling of powerlessness cannot even be vented.

He was a little resentful.

Because he doesn't know what to do now.

Mane is one of Atletico Madrid's most important attackers. When he was injured, Atletico Madrid wanted to strengthen the attack, like water without a source, it was simply impossible.

"Atletico Madrid is lucky, they made substitutions in the second half, but Mane was injured. This important attacking striker of Atletico Madrid is obviously a player Simeone relied on in the second half, but..."

The Spanish narrator shook his head.

In this game, Atletico Madrid can't compare to Manchester City in any way.

Both teams are the top teams in their respective leagues. However, from the perspective of this game, Atletico Madrid is clearly at a disadvantage. The strength of the two teams is very different.

"Gao Bo has undoubtedly built an invincible division in the Premier League. I don't know, who in his team can beat them?"

The Spanish narrator said.

.....

Gao Bo walked towards Mane, who was receiving treatment on the sidelines.

He comforted his old general a little and returned to the coaching bench.

And Simeone was also forced to use the second substitution of the game.

He could only replace the injured Mane with Thiago, and then put Coquera on the wing.

In this way, Atletico Madrid's flank assault ability has dropped a lot.

Because Koke is not the kind of winger who rushes with the ball, he is a midfielder. Therefore, Simeone's tactical arrangement at halftime died because of Mane's injury.

Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid still launched a fierce attack at home!

They pressed very hard.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Atletico Madrid finally got their best chance of the game through patient attacking organization.

Koke passed the ball into the penalty area to the feet of the veteran Villa.

After Villa made some adjustments, he pushed to the far end. The goalkeeper Oblak had no way to do anything about the ball. However, the football went wide of the post!

Atlético de Madrid misses the best chance to score!

Wasting opportunity will naturally be punished.

In two minutes!

Kaka shot angrily on the line of the penalty area, the football bounced off the crossbar, and Griezmann, who was just in front of the penalty area, pushed with his foot and sent the ball into the goal!

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!”

The commentator is chanting for Griezmann's goal!

"Griezmann!!! 3-0!!! Manchester City lead Atlético Madrid 3-0 away!!!"

"This is the biggest game Atletico Madrid has lost at home this season. Against a team like Manchester City, even Atletico Madrid seems helpless!"

The commentators at the commentary were talking.

There was silence in the stands.

After the goal, Griezmann also raised his hands and refused to celebrate.

After all, he has played in this stadium for two years, and he still has feelings for it.

In Calderon, Griezmann also went from a fledgling star to a real superstar!

"I believe that the fans of Atlético de Madrid must be very complicated now. The superstar who came out of Calderon counterattacked in the stadium of Calderon and broke the goal of Atlético de Madrid. In such a scene, the chairman of Atlético de Madrid, Serena Mr. Rezzo must not want to see..."

On the commentary stand, the Spanish commentator shook his head and said.

One of the important reasons why Gao Bo left Atletico Madrid was that Cerezo never communicated with the head coach Gao Bo in the transfer of Griezmann and decided to sell Griezmann to Manchester City at a high price. However, what I didn't expect was that Gao Bo also resigned and left, and then went to Manchester City.

At this moment, there was sparse applause from the stands.

Atlético de Madrid fans also love this player who has only played for the team for two seasons, but has made great contributions to the team.

On the podium, Cerezo's face was very ugly.

The players he sold helped Gao Bo a lot.

Even if Griezmann's transfer fee is sky-high, Cerezo feels very unhappy.

Especially now, after Griezmann scored, he could still get the applause of Atlético de Madrid fans.

This makes Cerezo even more upset!

And what happened next was for Cerezo to get up and leave.

In Calderon's stands, the fans first sang Griezmann's songs, and then collectively sang a song in praise of Gao Bo.

Such a scene, as if Gao Bo has always been the head coach of Atlético de Madrid.

Cerezo tried his best, but in the end he found that Gao Bo's status in the hearts of Atlético de Madrid fans is still much higher than that of his chairman...
