Chapter 318 Who Affects Who?
In the twenty-ninth round of the league, Atletico Madrid played against Deportivo at home. This league is a little different from the previous league.
Because after this league game, Atletico Madrid will welcome Eindhoven at home in the middle of next week. That Champions League game is related to whether they can reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
In fact, in the middle of last week, the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals had already started. Real Madrid defeated Roma 2:0 at home and advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 4:0 in the two rounds. The Spanish team that advanced to the quarter-finals.
In the other three quarter-finals, Wolfsburg defeated Gent 1:0 and advanced 4:2 on aggregate; Benfica defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 2:1 away and advanced 3:1 on aggregate; Paris Saint-Germain away They defeated Chelsea 2:1, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4:2, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
In this way, the first four top eight teams were all born.
In the next two days, March 15th and 16th, the remaining four top-eight teams will also be released one after another.
On the 15th, Atletico Madrid played against Eindhoven at home, and Manchester City played against Dynamo Kyiv at home.
It was Barcelona's turn the next day, as they hosted Arsenal and Bayern Munich hosted Juventus.
As the Champions League progresses, the schedule will become more and more intensive.
Now there is still more than half a month difference between the first round and the second round of the quarter-finals, and there is only a week difference between the quarter-finals and the quarter-finals and semi-finals. day time.
The further you play the team, the more difficult it will be.
This is also the reason why the Champions League is a game for giants - if you don't have a deep enough bench, it is impossible for you to survive such intensive high-intensity confrontation.
Now that there are more and more games in a season, it is becoming more and more difficult for teams that only rely on one lineup to achieve good results in multi-line battles. It is increasingly impossible for a dark horse like Nottingham Forest to achieve good results in multiple battles.
In the current UEFA Champions League, being able to reach the top eight can already be regarded as a big dark horse. Want to reach the final in one go and win the cup? Daydream!
※※※
Although the UEFA Champions League match against Eindhoven is next, Diego Simeone did not make a substantial rotation in the team's match against Deportivo in the twenty-ninth round of the league before that.
He only adjusted two positions.
At least Gao Zheng was still on the court.
No matter how he adjusts, if he still wants to win, then he has to ensure that Gao Zheng is on the court.
Gao Zheng is the guarantee of victory.
Even if he doesn't score a goal, he can still assist his teammates, just like the last round of the league.
Of course, Gao Zheng scored in this game.
He helped the team rewrite the score to 2:0 in the 60th minute.
He was then substituted in the 71st minute, replaced by Griezmann.
The French forward made it 3-0 in the 83rd minute.
They were not affected by the Champions League and still won the game.
This disappointed many Barcelona fans.
Under the premise that Barcelona has defeated Getafe 6:0, they still expect Atletico Madrid to lose the game under the influence of the Champions League, or draw with Deportivo...
But Manuel Blanco didn't see it that way.
He believes that with the strength of Atletico Madrid, it is not now that it will be affected.
He even feels that Atletico Madrid has a high probability of reaching the quarterfinals.
It is still difficult for PSV to cause trouble for Atletico Madrid.
But once they entered the quarterfinals, it would be different.
At that time, the lottery will be drawn again, and Atletico Madrid will no longer encounter a second-rate team like Eindhoven.
The strength of the opponent becomes stronger and the schedule becomes more intensive. At that time, the impact of the two-line battle on Atletico Madrid will gradually be revealed.
There is no need to moan now because Atletico Madrid won the game, a group of restless young people!
He Blanco has been a reporter for so many years, what scene has he not seen, what storm has he not gone through?
Just wait, my guess is right. After entering the quarterfinals, it was time for Atletico Madrid to collapse!
※※※
Everyone thought that Atletico Madrid might be affected by the Champions League in the league. As a result, Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo 3-0 in the league, and they didn't see any influence at all.
After the match between them and Eindhoven started, everyone realized that it wasn't that the league was affected by the Champions League, but that the Champions League was affected by the league!
In the 90 minutes, although Atletico Madrid created many opportunities, they failed to break through the goal guarded by Zote, and the game was dragged into overtime.
Atletico Madrid's offensive declined in the extra time, and Eindhoven also tried to start some offensives, but they still seemed very cautious. If there was no particularly good opportunity, they would basically not invest too much force.
In the end, neither side scored a goal in 120 minutes of game time, and the game entered a penalty shootout.
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona play a "penalty shootout" in the league. In the Champions League, they even have to rely on a penalty shootout to decide whether to advance to the quarterfinals...
Blanco, who was in front of the TV, sneered when he saw this scene.
The impact has already begun to gradually emerge.
But he doesn't want Atletico Madrid to be knocked out here.
If the Champions League is eliminated, they can catch up with Barcelona in the league. A team like Atletico Madrid, when they go all out in a game, poses a great threat to Barcelona.
So in order to avoid such a situation, Blanco still has to cheer for Atletico Madrid, hoping that they can have the last laugh in the penalty shootout.
Of course, this does not mean his betrayal of Barcelona.
This is just to make Atletico Madrid lose even worse in the future and ensure the success of Barcelona's revenge.
※※※
In the penalty shoot-out, Eindhoven played first. The first player to play was Marco van Ginkel. He was the midfielder of Eindhoven. Overwhelmed Atletico Madrid's wave after wave of offensive, successfully dragged the game into a penalty shootout.
Generally speaking, the first player to take the penalty kick does not need to be highly skilled, but must have excellent mental quality and good physical fitness. Otherwise, after 120 minutes of the game, lack of physical fitness will lead to deformation of technical movements when kicking the ball and reduce the free throw rate.
Therefore, the candidates for this penalty kick are basically midfielders. They have guaranteed physical fitness and strong psychological quality.
Van Ginkel lived up to expectations and kicked the football into the goal, making a good start for PSV.
Atletico Madrid's first penalty was Griezmann.
The French striker also hit the ball.
The score between the two sides was 1:1.
Eindhoven's second penalty was Guardado, also a midfielder. He, like his midfielder partner, also kicked the penalty into the goal.
Atlético Madrid's second player was the captain Gabi, who made the penalty firmly.
The two sides went back and forth like this, and they played until the fifth round, and they were still tied.
Eindhoven player Moreno, who took the fifth penalty, also kicked the football into the goal.
The pressure is all on Atletico Madrid's side. If Atletico Madrid's fifth penalty shooter can't kick the football in, then Eindhoven will eliminate Atletico Madrid and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
Atletico Madrid, the fifth person to take the penalty is Gao Zheng.
