Chapter 59 Round [-]

The Atletico Madrid players who returned to the locker room seemed a little silent.

Li Qingshan just did it silently in front of his cabinet. He took off the leg guards, sneakers, and socks one by one, and put them next to the cabinet.The team's equipment manager will be responsible for recycling and cleaning the game equipment of these players.

Simeone walked into the locker room and immediately felt the team's depressing atmosphere.

In fact, the one-to-one score is still beneficial to Atletico Madrid, but because the score was equalized before the end, the feeling of being lore is definitely not comfortable.

Simeone clapped his hands, making the players look up at him.

"Okay guys, I am also sorry for conceding the goal at the last moment, but no matter what, our goal before the game was completed! Since we were able to draw with them [-]-[-] in their away game, then come back Will they still have a chance after we come to our home court? Let's go home and beat them!"

In fact, Simeone is a bit sneaky here. There is no direct logical connection between the two football games. It cannot be said that Atletico Madrid drew with Barcelona in the away game, so they will definitely win when they return to their home court.

But the players didn't think so much. Simeone's prestige in the team is very high, and they will always believe the words of the leading brother without thinking.

So they will soon be full of fighting spirit!

What is Barcelona, ​​back at home to clean them up!
Seeing that the morale of the team has not been affected, Simeone is relieved. At the critical moment in the later stages of the league, if the team's morale is low, it will be troublesome.

The morale of Barcelona is high. On the one hand, it is because they tied the score before the end of the game. On the other hand, it is also absolutely confident in their own strength: Barcelona has met a total of 5 times in the European war. In the case of a 1-1 tie in the round, 3 of them were successfully promoted, and only 1989 were eliminated or lost. In the European Super Cup in November 11 (then it was a two-legged system), Barcelona drew 1-1 at home with Milan and lost 0-1 at the San Siro Stadium. In the 1994-95 season, Barcelona drew Paris Saint-Germain 1-4 at home in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and came to France. Barcelona lost 1-1 and were eliminated.These two eliminations are already very ancient times. In the past ten years, Barcelona has had a very terrifying dominance in the Champions League. The opponents were successfully eliminated in all rounds to advance.

Therefore, from the perspective of Barcelona, ​​​​the danger must exist, but advancing to the semi-finals is by no means a small probability event.

Therefore, in the post-match interview, Barcelona coach Martino did not appear too frustrated, he even looked confident.

"We would love to win the home game, preferably with a clean sheet, but neither of those things happened today. But I'm happy with the performance of the players, we fought to save our fortunes when we fell behind. With that belief, I think we will qualify," Martino said.

And Simeone praised the team's performance after the game: "I think my players have great willpower, and this score makes me proud. Courtois performed very well, and his future must be full of brilliance; Li Qingshan I'm very happy with his goals, he shoots with confidence, he's a reassuring striker."

At this time, Simeone didn't mention a word about his beating heart when Li Qingshan shot.
The score of one to one made the second round of the two sides full of suspense, and almost the whole of Spain was paying attention to the second round of the Champions League between the two La Liga teams.

Because Real Madrid on the other side lost the chain in the away game-they lost [-]-[-] to Dortmund in the away game, did not score away goals, and were almost on the verge of being eliminated.If Real Madrid is eliminated, then only the winner between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will remain in the Champions League semi-finals.

The Spaniards naturally don’t want to see such a scene. If possible, they even hope that the top four of the Champions League will be all La Liga teams. Unfortunately, except for Barcelona and Real Madrid, other La Liga teams have not performed well in the Champions League. Stable, and now finally there is a team that Atlético Madrid looks to be able to perform consistently in the Champions League.
After the midweek Champions League game ended, the weekend's La Liga No. 30 round was fully launched.

Atletico Madrid's home game against Villarreal is an early game on April [-]th.Diego Costa's injury has decimated the squad, but even so, Atletico won't have much of a problem at home with the Yellow Submarines.

Villarreal has been in a rather sluggish state recently, and the ever-increasing list of injuries has left the team without a win in many rounds of the league.If they hadn't performed well and scored a lot of points at the beginning of the league, it is estimated that they would have to worry about relegation now.

Due to the great consumption of the team's physical and energy in double matches a week, especially the high-intensity consumption of the UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona in the middle of the week, and due to the absence of Diego Costa, the team who replaced him Lia's role in the frontcourt is obviously not as good as that of Diego Costa.

Fortunately, Li Qingshan's performance was quite active, and his physical fitness was not affected by the mid-week game at all, so he brought great pressure to Villarreal's defense.

Under his constant impact, finally in the No.303 minute of the game, he passed the iconic header and knocked on Villarreal's goal.

After the situation was opened, the game was much easier.

Not long after the start of the second half, Li Qingshan flew a header in the penalty area, and Cork scored an empty goal from the back point. In the end, Atletico Madrid won the game [-]-[-] and continued to maintain their lead in the standings.

At the press conference after the game, Villarreal coach Marcelino said helplessly: "We tried our best in this game, but Li Qingshan's impact in the penalty area was really amazing. It's hard for players to defend nine 10 minutes against that kind of impact. Football is like that sometimes, when you have a star player it's easier sometimes."

After this game, Atletico Madrid has entered the rhythm of preparing for the Champions League.Such a rhythm is not easy for this Atletico Madrid team. They don't have much experience in facing such high-intensity games on both lines.In fact, this season is also the first time they have played in the Champions League since Simeone took over the team.

This game will produce a semi-finalist team. For Barcelona fans, they hope to reach the semi-finals for the seventh consecutive year, while Atletico Madrid fans are eager to relive the good times 7 years ago.

In fact, there is not much time to prepare for the game. Three days later, in the second round of the quarter-finals of the 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League, Atletico Madrid will face Barcelona at home.

After nine 10 minutes, who can advance to the semi-finals will be decided.
