Chapter 400 Against Manchester City
"This game is an away game, right?" Balotelli looked at David Silva suspiciously while holding the newspaper. The latter smiled and said, "Mario, you haven't woken up yet?"

"No, look at these reports, why are they all bad-mouthing Atletico Madrid?" Balotelli held up the newspaper to Silva, and Tevez came over and yelled deliberately: "Hey, everyone, look, Mario got the newspaper right this time!"

Seeing that Balotelli was about to go up and hit someone, Silva hurriedly glared at Tevez and said to Balotelli: "It seems that the relationship between Atletico Madrid and the media is not very good."

"Even if the relationship is not good, you won't say that about them when you are playing at the European level, right?" Balotelli pointed to a part of the newspaper, and Silva leaned over to read it. It read: Manchester City's sharp attack line will tear Atletico Madrid's defense, let us wait and see.

"If you think about it carefully, aren't we the same?" Kompany sat down, crossed his legs and said, "Whether it is the "Daily Mail" or "Sky Sports", no one is optimistic about us. They think that Manchester City has no heritage and no history. This is the media. It is very difficult to get their recognition."

"Like Mario and set his house on fire, won't he become the darling of the media?" Tevez yelled deliberately again, this time it was Toure who slapped him aside.

"Don't let me catch you!" Balotelli glared at Tevez, who walked away with a strange laugh.

"Okay, okay! Let's go to training after enough rest!" Mancini clapped his hands and shouted, then walked over and called Balotelli: "Mario!"

Balotelli walked over with his shoulders swaying, and Mancini complained for a while: "Walk well! You are such a big man, do you want me to teach you?"

Balotelli scratched his scalp and muttered, "Why are you looking for me?"

"Let me ask you, you have been teammates with Caesar for so long, does he have any shortcomings?" Cooperating with Mancini, he asked Balotelli for information.

Balotelli thought for a while, nodded and said, "He has no resistance to beautiful women."

"...I mean football."

"He is a perfect player, and it is too difficult to limit him alone. Anyway, in previous games, as long as we couldn't start the game, we would give him the ball." Balotelli was serious once, and Mancini nodded thoughtfully, and finally sighed: "It seems that instead of thinking about how to limit him, it is better to score goals in the game. Whoever scores more wins."

"Sure, it depends on who concedes more goals." Balotelli obviously didn't understand what Mancini meant, and complained about his mentor there.

"Go to training!" Mancini glared at him and walked away by himself.

Coming to Madrid this time, Manchester City borrowed a field from Real Madrid and was able to train.

In China, this kind of behavior may be scolded a thousand times by fans and the media in different ways.But in Europe, rivals in the same city are incompatible.

If you treat someone as a brother, they will not allow you to die, it's that simple.

What's more, Atletico Madrid has also solicited Manchester United's opinion, and when the time comes to play in Manchester, they will also borrow their venue.

This time not only Balotelli reunited with his old friend, but also Aguero.He came from Atletico Madrid and has a deep affection for this team.

Although Aguero has left Atletico Madrid, there are still many fans of him here.After all, this was a peaceful breakup, and no one held grudges against anyone.

So outside the Manchester City training ground, you can see many fans wearing Atletico Madrid jerseys with Aguero's name written on the back, waving at him.

"Don't be weak at that time." Balotelli joked, and Aguero nodded with a serious face: "Don't worry, we will definitely win this game."

Manchester City has a lot of talents on the front line this season. In addition to Tevez, Aguero and Balotelli, there is Dzeko, the former Bundesliga top scorer.

Mancini can have a variety of options, he can pay attention to the ground, he can also play high-altitude ball.Facing Atletico Madrid's defense, obviously going to the ground is the best choice.After all, Godin and Miranda are not fast, and the breakthroughs of Aguero and Tevez will bring many scoring opportunities for the team.

Compared with Manchester City, Atletico Madrid's starting lineup is easy to guess.Although Saul and Cork have played well recently, the Europa League still needs the help of veterans.

Simeone prepared a 4-4-2 lineup, with Caesar and Costa as forwards, Diego, Turan, Vidal and Gabi as midfielders.The attack power of this formation is slightly insufficient, but the defense is absolutely no problem.

On the day of the game, there was a slight drizzle in the sky, but it did not affect the game.Various media came to Calderon, ready to witness the failure of Atletico Madrid.

After all, if Atletico Madrid wins, doesn't that mean they are wrong?
At that time, it will be yourself who will be slapped in the face, so you should lose quickly at Atletico Madrid.

Leon's store manager is very confident. After all, the team won the Europa League the year before last and has rich experience in the competition. I don't want Manchester City to rise in the past two years.

"I guess we will win with a score of 3:0." Leon said to Cesc, who smiled bitterly: "You are too confident, I think 1:0 is enough."

"Look, my hunch has always been accurate." Leon entered the field holding the Atletico Madrid scarf high. This time Fidel was not with Oliveira, after all, he didn't have that much pocket money.

The warm-up before the game went quickly. Caesar and Balotelli had a brief chat, and Aguero also met with some old friends.

Even so, Rudy tried his best to exaggerate the atmosphere and yelled in the studio: "This game is destined to become a classic match. The leader of the Premier League and No.2 in La Liga don't look like a matchup in the Europa League! Let's see, the camera shows Caesar and Aguero. One is the current striker of Atletico Madrid, the other is the former striker of Atletico Madrid, and there is Costa, who is tall and skilled. The three strikers gathered together, I believe it will definitely give the fans a fierce match!"

Back in the locker room, Simeone made the final deployment.Caesar listened as he wrapped a bandage around his own bracelet.

"The opponent sent Dzeko, Aguero and Tevez's offensive line. This is not like what Mancini said before the game, they want to keep the tie. Their purpose is to get away goals, or even defeat us. Will you allow this to happen?!"

"will not!"

"Very good, go up and kill them! Let Manchester City know that the civilian team Atletico Madrid is amazing!"

"With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"
