Prominence in Football Community

In the game against Real Sociedad, Simeone made a rotation, and some players who participated in the national team game did not appear in the starting lineup.

But Gao Zheng was there.

Even though it was an away game, with Gao Zheng present, the Atlético Madrid fans felt somewhat confident.

And Gao Zheng did not let them down. Just nine minutes into the game, he received a pass from Cork and shot the football into the Real Sociedad goal with his left foot.

It wasn't until the 87th minute that Gao Zheng was replaced and Griezmann came on as a substitute.

Not long after Griezmann played, he completely sealed the victory for the team in the 91st minute-his and Gao Zheng's goals helped Atletico Madrid beat Real Sociedad 2-0 away.

In this round of the league, the main rival Real Madrid defeated Levante 3:0, and Barcelona defeated Vallecano 5:2.

But Villarreal lost to Celta Vigo 1:2 at home.

Their league ranking also fell from the previous second to fourth.

The league has only played eight rounds, but Villarreal is already showing signs of falling behind.

Now ranked first is naturally Atletico Madrid, Celta Vigo, who defeated Villarreal, ranked second, Real Madrid ranked third with 17 points, and Barcelona ranked fifth.

But everyone felt that Vigo Celta would not last long.

This is the daily life of La Liga-no matter how hard the small team works and how well they perform, even if they can really reach the top of the league standings, they cannot last long. After all, the league is a marathon, and small teams that have not accumulated enough in the long schedule can easily fall behind.

At the beginning of the league, everyone was very active, and some people could rush to the front with a burst of momentum and become the leader who stole the limelight.

But then what? It is a matter of course for the leaders who are gradually exhausted to be surpassed by those experienced giants.

So don't look at the current ranking of Barcelona is not very high, but no one dares to underestimate this team, no one will think that the fifth place is the final ranking of Barcelona. Everyone feels that as the schedule progresses, Barcelona will definitely return to the top of the league rankings. Because the family is a wealthy family, how could the wealthy family not fight back?

In the end, it will return to the pattern of the two heroes of the Western Super League competing for the championship... Oh no, it will be the three heroes of the Western Super League.

Nine out of ten league titles this season will still be produced between Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

After the game against Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid ushered in Astana at home.

This is the first time they have faced a team from Asia.

Before the game, the Madrid media popularized science to the majority of Atletico Madrid fans why a team located in the hinterland of Central Asia can participate in the UEFA Champions League.

Facing the weakest team in this group, Atletico Madrid will naturally have to win with all their strength, otherwise Atletico Madrid may have the risk of not being able to appear in the group.

This is not alarmist.

Think about Naples back then, how did they fail to qualify for the group stage with 12 points?

Every team aiming for the knockout round must learn from Naples in the 2013-2014 season and must not repeat the same mistakes.

Besides wanting to beat Astana,

Maybe this is my chance...

In the last round of the group match, Astana played at home and faced Galatasaray. It was thought that the Turkish powerhouse defeated Astana without breaking a sweat.

But unexpectedly, this team was tied 2:2 by Astana.

This team still has two brushes at home.

Besides, Astana's home court is thousands of miles away from Atletico Madrid, and Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, where Galatasaray is located, is even closer to Astana.

How can Atletico Madrid ensure that they fly twice as far as Galatasaray and still win?

At the end of the two rounds of the UEFA Champions League, Atletico Madrid has one win and one tie, with the same points as Benfica, and the goal difference between the two teams is also the same.

If Atletico Madrid can't win Astana at home, it will be at a disadvantage in the competition with Benfica.

In this game, Simeone did not relax because the opponent was the weakest team in the group. He sent the strongest lineup, and the main players who were rested against Real Sociedad in the last round also returned to the starting lineup.

The pair of Gao Zheng and Griezmann started again, which demonstrated Simeone's determination-this game must allow Astana to enter vertically and exit horizontally!

Although this seems to be a bit too close to the enemy, you must know that there are only fifteen people from Astana in this away game. Except for the eleven players who are going to start, there are only four players on the bench. Personally, considering that one of them is a substitute goalkeeper, there are only three people who may be replaced. It can be said that it is just enough to run out of substitutions.

Facing such a team that can be said to be "remnant", Atletico Madrid has put on the strongest lineup, which makes people think that Atletico Madrid is a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

But Simeone doesn't care about that, no matter how others look at him, it's not as real as getting a three-pointer.

After the start of the game, Atletico Madrid launched the most violent attack on Astana's goal, and Astana could only shrink back and put a bus in front of its own goal.

At this time, no one will think that Astana's bus is a disgraceful act. They are not strong enough, so they should have a bus.

I would feel that it would be a shame if Atletico Madrid couldn't even attack the gate of Astana.

In the sixth minute, Griezmann's shot was physically blocked by the Astana defender, and Atletico Madrid won a corner. After Gabi took the corner kick, central defender Godin jumped high in front of the goal and scored a header, but it was caught by Astana goalkeeper Eric.

Two minutes later, Atletico Madrid's attack made a comeback. Gao Zheng's long shot from outside the penalty area was high.

In the 15th minute, Atlético Madrid got another corner kick, this time it was Gabi who took a corner kick and Godin headed the goal.

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, it was bravely saved by Astana goalkeeper Eric!

In the 19th minute, Gao Zheng went straight and Saul got the ball in the penalty area and shot directly, but the football hit the side net and went out of the baseline.

Atlético Madrid's offensive was like a wave, and Astana was like a boat running around on a stormy sea. Those Astana fans who watched the game through TV broadcasts in China were frightened. I'm afraid that the boat will capsize in the next second.

The commentator of the Kazakhstan TV station was cheering up the audience: "...the brave Astana players withstood the violent attack of Atletico Madrid! Although Atletico Madrid's offensive was fierce, they did not take Astana's goal at all. There is no way! Hold on! As long as we hold on to the first half without conceding a goal, as time goes by in the second half, the Atlético Madrid players will definitely become more and more impatient, and we may have a chance to counterattack and score by then. !"

He described a very wonderful blueprint for Astana fans. In his description, Astana can not only be undefeated, but even win the first place in the history of the club and the history of Kazakhstan football. Champions League wins.

Many Astana fans in front of the TV he said were also excited, and it seemed that it could really be realized.
