Chapter 220
The Champions League semi-final is about to start, which is the hottest topic in Europe.

Of course, there was also a person who popped up and grabbed some pages.

The football genius Moyes finally made Manchester United miss the UEFA Champions League next season and was fired by Manchester United. Now the Red Devils are temporarily taken over by Wang Laoji, and Moyes came out and grabbed part of the page.

The upcoming two rounds of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals are considered to be a game of great disparity in strength. Bayern and Real Madrid have a high probability of advancing.

Inside Atletico Madrid, Ringer also vaguely understood that the team's coaching staff is very cautious about facing Bayern Munich, and most of the players are also like this, and some even have an idea of ​​fighting for honor.

Bayern has been really strong from last season to this season, winning the Triple Crown and setting various records.

At present, the two longest winning streaks in the five major leagues, a 20-game winning streak and a 19-game winning streak, were created by Bayern in the last two seasons.

The earliest record of winning the championship in advance in the five major leagues, seven rounds in advance, was also created by Bayern this season.

Nowadays, the words that Bayern stars say the most are: "If we can't defend the Triple Crown, it will be our failure."

Bayern has already won the Bundesliga early, reached the final of the German Cup, and met the weaker Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Of course they have this confidence.

At the end of another day of training, the entire Atletico Madrid team was called by Simeone to hold a mobilization meeting.

"It is undeniable that Bayern is indeed the strongest team in Europe at the moment. They have broken many records this season, but we are all familiar with their way of playing. They are Barcelona-style ball possession. Barcelona's record is 2 wins, 3 draws and remains unbeaten, Bayern is at most an enhanced version of Barcelona, ​​as long as we follow the way we play Barcelona, ​​everyone doesn't need to worry too much."

"But we have to be more cautious. After all, they are the Cosmos team and are recognized as the strongest team in Europe. Even if we are at home, we must be careful, especially pay attention to defense. It is best not to let them score away goals. .Remember, we cannot affect the league because of the Champions League, so we must be cautious in the Champions League~~~”

In the early morning of April 4, Guardiola led the New Cosmos team Bayern Munich to Madrid to prepare for the Champions League semi-final tomorrow night.

This is the first time that Guardiola has led the team back to Spain after leaving Barcelona. The Catalan media finally waited for the savior and rushed to Madrid to wait.

According to the Catalan media, there is only one league title left in Barcelona and there is still a chance, but there are only 4 rounds left in La Liga. Barcelona is 8 points behind Atletico Madrid. If Barcelona wants to win the championship, they can only hope Atletico Madrid themselves suddenly collapsed.

And Atletico Madrid encountered the extremely powerful Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which made Atletico Madrid have the possibility of collapse.

If Atletico Madrid loses badly against the Cosmos team Bayern and encounters a massacre, it will definitely suffer a huge blow to morale, which will then affect the league and make accidental mistakes in the league, then Barcelona will really have a chance to win the championship.

According to the Barcelona media: Barcelona once again need Guardiola to save.

In fact, what the Catalans said is not groundless, and Simeone also has some concerns in this regard.

In the league game sandwiched between the two UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Atletico Madrid needs to play Valencia away. Valencia, as a strong team in La Liga, has declined a bit in the past two years. Losing badly in the Champions League has affected morale, and there is a high probability that they will lose again in an away game against Valencia, so Barcelona will really have to catch up.

Being caught up in the score by Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid made a slight mistake in dealing with the pressure. Barcelona can really make a beautiful comeback.

When facing questions from the Spanish media, Guardiola said: "Atletico Madrid has won 9 consecutive victories in the league and is far ahead in the La Liga standings. They have created many new records in team history. It can be said that this Atletico Madrid team , the strongest Atletico Madrid in history."

"But the current Bayern is also the most powerful Bayern. As long as we do our best, we will be able to eliminate Atletico Madrid and advance to the final."

"Lin is a very creative player. He has the ability to break the monopoly of Melo. It is a pity that he left before I entered Bayern. I also hope to have the opportunity to coach him in the future~~~" This is Guardio Ra's response when asked about Ringer's question.

On April 4, at 22:20 pm Spanish time, the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Atletico Madrid vs. Bayern Munich is about to start.

Ringer hugged and greeted a group of former teammates on the court. He had no idea that he would face his old club so soon and face a large group of former teammates. This was the first time he faced his old team in his career.

Xinlang Sports in China broadcast the game, and Zhan Jun was commenting.

"Atletico Madrid and Bayern have played against each other twice in the history of European wars. It was 40 years ago, in the 1973/74 season of the Champions League final. At the Heysel Stadium in Belgium, Atletico Madrid faced the mighty Bayern in the Champions League final. Tenaciously defended a 90:0 draw within 0 minutes. In the first half of overtime, Bayern failed to find a chance. In the second half of overtime, Aragones, the famous Atletico Madrid star, directly scored a free kick to help Atletico Madrid. took the lead, but Bayern defender Schwarzenbeck equalized with a shot from outside the box in stoppage time of extra time."

"At that time, the UEFA Champions League finals had a special system. A draw within 90 minutes required extra time. After extra time, no penalties were awarded. Instead, a rematch was chosen. Although Atletico Madrid relied on their own tenacity and the opponent's poor state, A 1-1 draw with Bayern, but in the replay two days later, Bayern regained their form and beat Atletico Madrid 4-0, and Atletico Madrid missed their only chance to reach the Champions League."

"It is worth mentioning that Bayern, the Champions League champions of that year, refused to go to distant South America to participate in the Intercontinental Cup at the end of the year, so the Champions League runner-up Atletico Madrid participated as a substitute, and finally Atletico Madrid won the Intercontinental Cup that year. Atletico became the only football club to win the Intercontinental Cup as the Champions League runner-up."

Although the two teams had a bit of animosity, there were not many fans who played revenge slogans in Calderon today. Everyone knew that Bayern was the Cosmos team, and they might be eliminated this time, so the biggest banner on the scene was : Glorious Atletico Madrid!

From the fans' point of view, being able to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League is already very honorable. Losing to the Cosmos team is not a shame.

"Prince Felipe of the Spanish royal family, he also appeared at the Calderon Stadium. It is said that he will soon become the king of Spain in the summer. He is also a fan of the Sheets. He came to the scene today to support Atletico Madrid. Great game against Cosmos Bayern."

This is what Zhan Jun said, but after the game started, the scene was not exciting.

Bayern started the game in control of the ball and kept passing back and forth to find opportunities. Atletico Madrid started very conservatively and blocked the penalty area directly.

"In the first 20 minutes of the game, Bayern had 83% possession of the ball, but only in the 15th minute, Robben's kick from outside the penalty area allowed Courtois to make a save. Most of the time, they seemed to be looking for If you don't have a good chance to attack, you can't threaten Atletico Madrid's goal at all."

Facing the cosmic team Bayern, Atletico Madrid was on the psychologically weak side. Many people did not dare to think about eliminating Bayern, because Bayern was too strong in the last two seasons.

But halfway through the first half, the Atletico Madrid team has changed psychologically, and everyone began to have an idea: this Cosmos team is not as good as imagined, maybe we still have a chance.

Even Simeone thought carefully, but he still directed the team to focus on solid defense, and everything will wait until the intermission.

"The first half ended with a 0-0 tie. Although Bayern had a great advantage in possession, Bayern's possession rate reached almost 80%, but they did not find a way to score. Atletico Madrid defended with ease. , if you continue to play like this, I doubt that Atletico Madrid can keep a 0:0, and finally bet on a penalty shootout with Bayern." This is the statement of the German commentator.

"Bayern could be in trouble if Pep Guardiola doesn't do something quickly."

During the intermission, Simeone was talking: "After the first half, everyone should have seen that Bayern is not as strong as imagined. They are obsessed with possession of the ball like Barcelona, ​​but they lack the ability to make a fatal blow. Bayern does not have Messi. The kind of assaulters with strong personal ability, their efficiency after possession of the ball is not even as good as Barcelona. In the second half, we tried more counterattacks and threatened them with counterattacks. We have every chance to beat Bayern~~~”

Therefore, although the team couldn't find a chance in the first half, Guardiola, who was still calm, began to roar non-stop from the sidelines after the start of the second half.

In the 49th minute, during the counterattack, Cork made a diagonal pass from the right. Ringer plugged in from the back row and blocked Ram's push, but the ball hit high under Ram's interference.

In the 53rd minute, Felipe quickly dribbled the ball forward and backward after the midfielder intercepted the ball. Costa headed the ball in the penalty area, but it happened to be in Neuer's arms.

The Calderon Stadium, which was still a little quiet in the first half, boiled up. This is Atletico Madrid’s regular style of play, threatening the opponent with a counterattack, and Atletico Madrid’s counterattack is still effective when facing Bayern, and can still threaten the opponent’s goal. .

In the 69th minute, Gabi made a straight pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Felipe stepped forward to break through Rafinha on the left and then made a cross pass. Linger stopped the ball in the penalty area to get rid of Boateng, intending to pass the ball forward He hit the goal with one step, but the ball was pulled down by the opponent as soon as it went out.

"Penalty~~Penalty!!"

Atletico Madrid players immediately complained to the referee, but the Danish referee ignored it and signaled the game to continue.

"It's an obvious rule of pulling people in the penalty area. The Dane's penalty is shit. I'm afraid he didn't think about it. If it wasn't a penalty, then he should have given Lin a yellow card or a red card, because the ball If it wasn't a penalty, it must have been a flop, but he didn't say anything, just let the game continue, and the Danes' penalty didn't matter at all." This is the cursing voice of the Spanish commentator.

The German commentator is also saying: "Bayern Munich escaped, and Atletico Madrid's efficient counterattack made Bayern very embarrassed. I don't know if I can escape the next time after I escaped this time."

The Calderon stadium was full of boos, and Simeone yelled and protested from the sidelines, but the referee had already made a penalty, and no one could change it.

Guardiola on the sidelines was also quite nervous. After seeing that the referee did not give a penalty, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, under the command of Guardiola, Bayern actually started a defensive style of play.Bayern's defensive style of play is also possession of the ball, which is to control the ball in the backcourt and not easily hit the ball to the frontcourt, so that the opponent cannot get the ball and naturally cannot attack.

"This kind of backcourt is usually used after Bayern takes the lead. I didn't expect that it was only a 0-0 draw. Guardiola began to ask the players to backcourt. It seems that he was kicked out by Madrid in the second half. Athletics is afraid of counterattacks these few times."

In this way, at the last moment, Bayern controlled the ball more and more in their own half, the rhythm of the game was obviously slowed down, and the two sides could only end the focus battle with a 0:0.
