Prominence in Football Community

When Gao Zheng gave Wu Lei a thumbs up, few people may have noticed, but Griezmann, sitting next to him, looked down and saw Gao Zheng's thumbs up, and then he looked up and saw the crowd on the court. Wu Lei.

After the two people finished their silent communication, he asked, "Are you praising him?"

"Yeah. That goal was beautifully played." Gao Zheng admitted straightforwardly. He didn't seem to be trying to hide it either.

"Aren't you afraid of being caught with pigtails after the game?" Griezmann was surprised.

"Why did you get caught by the braid?"

"Let me tell you, there must be a camera on our bench during this game. It doesn't do anything in a game, it just shoots our side..." Griezmann covered his mouth and reminded Gao Zheng.

"I say hello to my national team-mates, it's not a big deal, is it?"

Griezmann glanced at Gao Zheng, not knowing whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid: "But if we lose the game, some people won't see it that way. Under the deliberate guidance of someone with a heart, public opinion will be against you of……"

Gao Zheng smiled: "I don't think we will lose, Anthony. There is still half the game. Although the boss has reserved a little strength for the Champions League in the middle of next week, he doesn't think he will accept the price of losing the league championship. I I bet he's going to make changes at half-time at the earliest."

Griezmann did not expect Gao Zheng to be so confident.

You must know that even if a substitution is made, there are only forty-five minutes left.

And forty-five minutes to score three goals - there is no point in scoring two goals to tie the game, you need to score three goals to win - the time is still too tight. After all, the Spaniard in the second half can adjust his tactics and play a defensive counterattack.

With the home court advantage, they may not be able to stop Atletico Madrid's attack with their high morale.

In short, Griezmann already feels that the league championship may be lost. In this way, all hopes of whether this season will not be empty-handed are pinned on the second round of the Champions League in the middle of next week.

But Griezmann has little confidence in that either.

After two seasons at high speed, two league titles and a Champions League runner-up, the momentum in this team seems to be fading away.

But this is also a normal cycle for a team, and there is nothing to complain about.

It's just that I have only been here for two seasons...

He sighed inwardly.

When Wu Lei helped the Spaniard score the second goal, many people thought that Atletico Madrid might really say goodbye to the league champion this time.

One proof is that at this time, the odds for the La Liga championship changed. Atletico Madrid fell from the original lead, and Barcelona returned to the top spot, and the bookmakers were even more optimistic about La Liga winning the championship.

Of course, for gamblers, this also means that if you insist on buying Atletico Madrid to win the championship, you will either lose everything or make a lot of money in the end.

With two goals in the first half, the Spaniard ended the first half of the game.

When Gao Zheng walked off the court, the TV broadcast turned a close-up shot on him.

In the camera, he didn't have any expression, turned around and turned into the player tunnel, and then disappeared into the camera's lens.

During the intermission, many fans were discussing the game.

"I don't think Simeone should be trying to please both sides in this game. The Champions League is definitely out of the game. How could it be possible to reverse the situation with 0:3 in the first round? You must know that the top sixteen beat Eindhoven Huo Wen, it's so easy to play at home. This time, the opponent is Barcelona... The best choice should be to play the main force in this league and ensure that he can win the league championship. A champion can take..."

"Yeah yeah, there's nothing shameful about giving up the Champions League when the first leg of the Champions League ended like that. Instead, it's painful like it is now...Simeone may want a decent exit, but it may hurt face. kill him..."

"What's the use of saying this now? Lost 0:3 in the first leg of the Champions League, and now lost 0:2 in the league! Anyway, Atletico Madrid has bid farewell to the two championships! I think the club should Think about rebuilding the team in the summer. In the past two seasons, the team has won two league titles in a row and reached a Champions League final. I admit that this team is really fighting. But in the final analysis, that After losing to arch-enemy Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final, Atletico Madrid’s morale was destroyed. If it weren’t for Gao Zheng last season, how could Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona in the penultimate round and regain the league title?” The fan said in It is analyzed for everyone at length on the Internet.

"This team has obviously lost the desire for victory and the pursuit of the championship, so it should change a group of players and start all over again. Of course Simeone has to stay. I think as long as he and Gao Zheng are still there, no matter how the players change. , Atletico Madrid is still competitive! Take this season as a lesson..."

At the same time, in the locker room, Simeone scolded all Atletico Madrid players bloody: "I did not rotate to make you give up the league! I believe in you, and I firmly believe that when you rotate, you will face Against the Spaniards, it should be possible to win, but I am so disappointed by your performance! If this is what you want, then I will not make any adjustments during the half-time break, whatever you want! Just wait to be ridiculed by the Barcelona media!"

Diego Simeone did what he said, he really didn't make any adjustments, and he opened the door and went out after speaking. Until the start of the second half of the game, he did not explain anything. There was no tactical adjustment and naturally no substitution adjustment.

It seems that they are really desperate for the performance of these players.

Griezmann glanced at Gao Zheng next to him: Didn't you say that the boss will be replaced at the earliest intermission?

Gao Zheng also scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't expect that the boss would not play cards according to common sense? Does the boss really want to sacrifice the league championship?

After Simeone left, Fernando Torres and Gabi stood up. The two first made some self-criticism, and then boosted their morale: "The game is not over, whether it is this game or the league, it is not over yet. We There are still forty-five minutes left, and we can change our destiny. As long as everyone is serious, I believe the advantage will return to our side! We must never let ourselves become the laughing stock in the eyes of Barcelona people!"

After the start of the second half, everyone found that Atletico Madrid had no substitutions and adjustments. Gao Zheng and Griezmann were still "watching" on the bench.

"This..." Seeing this, He Ping didn't know what to say.

Is Simeone really planning to give up the league?

But giving up the league may not guarantee that Atletico Madrid will eliminate Barcelona. After all, they lost three goals in the first round!

What's the point of doing this?

He originally thought that during the intermission, Simeone would send Gao Zheng or Griezmann to show a desperate attitude.

But Simeone said nothing. What hints does this bring to other Atletico Madrid players?

Or that he made some tactical adjustments during the intermission, and he is confident that he can reverse and counterattack based on the players currently on the field?

But after watching the game for a while, He Ping found that Simeone didn't make any adjustments to his tactics in the first half. Apart from the players' performance being more active, there was no change in tactics.

This is strange...
