Chapter 392: Dangerous league and Champions League final
Facts have proved that all of this is too beautiful for Atletico Madrid fans, but the reality is extremely cruel, because they lost to their opponents [-]-[-] at home in this game.

Their striker Diego Costa was completely frozen in the whole game. He didn't help the team score a goal and got a yellow card for provoking the opposing player.

Charlotte's team has a difficult journey in the Champions League knockout rounds. Most of the first rounds of their games are either a draw or a small loss to their opponents. This is the first time they have won in the first round and the first time in the knockout stage Away win.

With a score of two to zero, the Saints have already entered the final with one foot. After returning to the home court with two away goal advantages in hand, they will be more comfortable, especially after Charlotte took office. Their home court advantage can definitely bring Put heavy pressure on your opponent.Because after Charlotte's previous team came to the top league, they have not lost at home! !
So although Atletico Madrid's head coach Simeone said at the press conference after the game that there is still a second round of the game and they must concentrate all their energy on making a comeback in the next away game, no one except Atletico Madrid fans will believe it They can do it.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Jianlin, the boss of China's Wanda Group, was captured by the broadcaster's camera in the box above the stadium. This wealthy Chinese businessman also came to the Calderón Stadium to watch the game.Wanda Group is now deploying the local real estate business in Madrid. There are rumors that they may invest in Madrid's football clubs to consolidate and obtain some support from the city government. Among them, Atletico Madrid is naturally the first choice.

But all of these are commercial secrets, neither the municipal government, Atletico Madrid Club nor Wanda Group have revealed to the media yet, so when interviewed by the media, Wang Jianlin just smiled and said: "Charlotte is a very good genius in our country. The head coach, and he is also my friend. I happened to be in Madrid to investigate some projects during this period, so I stopped by to see Charlotte's game. Of course, I am also very grateful to Mr. Cerezo, the chairman of Atletico Madrid Club, for being able to Invite me to the Calderon, it's a great stadium and Atletico is a great team"

Because of the cooperation between Charlotte and Wang Jianlin in the movie and his football center in Chengdu, although the two of them didn't meet many times, they were considered to be very familiar with each other.It's just that most people in the outside world only know that the football center in Chengdu is invested and sponsored by Wanda Group, but they don't know that China's famous "Dream Entertainment" company in the entertainment industry belongs to Charlotte.

At the same time, sharp-eyed fans saw Torres' brother, sister-in-law and sister coming to the Calderon Stadium to watch the game. Everyone knows that the Torres family is Atletico Madrid fans. Although Torres has left Atletico Madrid for many years, everyone often Seeing his family in Spain also come to Calderon Stadium to watch football from time to time.

It's just that Torres' life at Chelsea is not easy now, so there are a lot of news that the former Spanish golden boy is likely to return to Atletico Madrid, and at this time his family appears in the box at the Calderon Stadium , the taste in it is naturally enough for the media to hype.

Back at Southampton, the Saints were drawn by Everton at home.After Martinez took over the Toffee coach left by Moyes, Everton did not start to decline as outside speculation. The current position Everton ranks sixth in the standings. This ranking is higher than that of Moyes last season. The period is one place higher, so the Spanish coach's first season in the Toffees is undoubtedly a success, at least he has gained a firm foothold.

At the same time, the Red Army Liverpool won a victory in London. They won [-]-[-] against the weak Crystal Palace team.In this way, the points form of the Premier League this season will be more interesting.Although the Saints are still in the leading position, they are only two points ahead of Liverpool. With two rounds left in the league, the Red Army still has a chance to pull the opponent down.

Behind Liverpool is the blue team Chelsea. They are two points less than the red team and four points less than the leader. all at once.

What's more, the next round is a direct contest between Chelsea and Liverpool. As long as the Blues can score three points at Anfield, and at the same time, if the Saints, who are focused on the Champions League, collapse again, maybe they can really come from behind. Woolen cloth.

The competition for the Premier League championship this season is very fierce. At least compared to last season, this season is more suspenseful. After all, Southampton has already won the championship last season, but there are still three teams that are still possible this season. Fight for the last chance.

Of these three teams, Liverpool has undoubtedly the greatest chance, because Chelsea still have the Europa League to play, and the Saints also have the more important Champions League, so relatively speaking, the Reds just care about the league.Although the Saints still made it to the final of the FA Cup, the final of the FA Cup was on May [-]th. At that time, the league had ended for almost a week, so this game had no impact on the league.

In the second round of the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid in the middle of the week, Charlotte, who has a two-goal advantage, can be said to be at home at home.He didn't care about the eyes of the outside world, and played a defensive counterattack directly at his home court!

This has caused many media to call him "shameless" and actually "do not seek to make progress" in his home court.
Charlotte's team has always been known for its strong offensive power, but if they really play defensive counterattacks, they will definitely not be inferior to their offensive power.Moreover, Charlotte has calculated Simeone's psychological thoughts very clearly, and it is not difficult in fact. After losing to the opponent [-]-[-] in the first round and conceding two away goals, the second round of the game is destined to need to strengthen the offensive power up.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid still want to reach the final, then they must play each other [-]-[-] or [-]-[-] away.Because if it is [-] to [-], they can also eliminate their opponents based on the advantage of away goals when the total score is [-] to [-].

So Simeone's plan is actually very simple, to attack! !
Charlotte can be said to be waiting for work at home. From the first minute after the start of the game, Atletico Madrid gave enough space for the opponent to attack.

At this point, Simeone is almost itching his teeth with anger. He knows Charlotte's abacus, which is the same as Charlotte's guessing his plan. There is almost no difficulty, isn't it just a defensive counterattack?
In this away game, Simeone directly eliminated the double center of David Villa and Diego Costa in order to strengthen the offense in order to get more goals. He knew what Charlotte was playing, but he was in the team. After 5 minutes of probing each other, he could only grit his teeth and wave his hands to let the team press out and attack boldly.

Although many outside media and fans call the body and Atletico Madrid the dark horses of this season's Champions League, Simeone knows that any team that can reach the semi-finals is really no longer a dark horse, but that the opponent has that strength.So he knows that it is very difficult to score the opponent's three goals within 10 minutes without allowing the opponent to score more than two goals.

Their opponent is not only Southampton, but also time. This team has strong offensive firepower, but the defense is not weak, so he just let Villa and Costa play at the beginning. Now even if he knows that the opponent is in A hole was dug for him in front of him, so he could only jump forward with his eyes closed.

Charlotte's Pogba, Schneiderlin and Florenzi's three-midfield combination has built a strong defensive barrier in the midfield. Schneiderlin's defensive positioning is very good, so he is the last defensive core. Both Pogba and Florenzi belong to the kind of players who have both offense and defense. This triangle combination in the midfield makes Atletico Madrid players uncomfortable. It is difficult for their offense to threaten the Saints' back line and goalkeeper.

Only Charlotte on the sidelines was sighing, it would be great if Wanyama was still there at this time, he could almost keep the midfield operation airtight.At that time, Atletico Madrid's offensive power will not be a threat to the goal guarded by Reina. Maybe even the central defender combination of Jose Fonte and Nkuru will be relatively easy.

Jack Cork on the sidelines ran to the side from time to time to do warm-up exercises. Charlotte had a big disagreement and would go to the four midfielders to continue to strengthen the defensive trend.

This made Simeone jump angrily on the sidelines, because it was so difficult for Atletico Madrid's offense to get in. If he was replaced with a defensive player, he probably would just wait for a zero-to-zero handshake on his side.

Atletico Madrid's offense is fierce, but the threat to the Saints' goal is not great.Diego Costa was completely defended by Saints players, which was exactly the same as in the last game at the Calderon Stadium. It seems that Simeone and Costa have not yet found a good solution .

The Sheets were at a loss, but the Saints seized a chance to counterattack at home.After Pogba intercepted the ball and drove straight up the field, Griezmann protected the ball from Luis Felipe's press, and then sent a through ball.

Higuain succeeded in countering offside and received the football behind Godin and Miranda. I am very familiar with this pair of central defenders Higuain and Griezmann. After all, they have played against each other in La Liga. .

Facing the attacking Courtois, he was very calm, dunked a little and then suddenly kicked and hit the door directly.The Belgian goalkeeper missed the save, and the football went under his arm and bounced and rolled into the goal behind the opponent.

The game was one to zero, and the total score was three to zero.At this time, even the optimistic Atletico Madrid team did not think that their team might advance, so the more than 2000 Atletico Madrid fans who came to the away game seemed particularly quiet, and they didn't know what to do.
