Chapter 340

In late February, the knockout of the Champions League began.

As the highest level league in the world, the Champions League knockout match has attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

There are 16 teams, 8 matches, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams, some big teams.

There are many powerful fans and great influence. The focus of media attention is mainly on the matches between inter and Manchester United, Real Madrid and Liverpool, and Chelsea and Juve.

Although Porto is the leader of Portuguese Super League, and has won two Champions League titles, Atletico Madrid is the fourth in La Liga, and has won one European Cup winner and one Champions League runner up, now they can only be regarded as the second class strong team in European football, with the most first-class and half. Therefore, the match between Atletico Madrid and Porto has received little attention, and the media outside Spain and Portugal just mention it.

In the match between Atletico Madrid and Porto, the media are not optimistic about Porto. The reporter thinks that Atletico Madrid is stronger than Porto.

Atletico Madrid has 07 European golden boy Aguero, European golden boot winner Fran and Portuguese star Simao, while Porto has no outstanding star. Although Gao Xiaodong is snapped up by the giants, his main focus is on his potential rather than his strength. Falcao has just landed in Europe and has not been tested by the competition. Gao Xiaodong and Falcao want to compete with Aguero, Fran and Xi It's a little immature to compete.

In addition to the strength, the media is not optimistic about Porto, but also because Porto's record against the Spanish team is too bad.

In Europe, Porto once played against La Liga 30 times. In these 30 games, Porto only won 8 games, lost 18 games and drew 4 games. One of them played against Atletico in the Europa League and was eliminated by Porto 2-1 in two rounds.

History can't be equal to the present, but at least history can show that Porto is more afraid of the Spanish team.

Although Atletico Madrid have a strong team and strong stars, it is the first time that they have entered the Champions League in 10 years, and they have just changed their coach recently, so they are in bad condition.

Atletico's problem is very similar to Porto's previous problem, that is, there are many gangs in the dressing room, and former head coach Aguirre can't control the team. After entering January, Atletico won seven league matches and cup matches. 20 days ago, Atletico had to fire Aguirre, and invited Atletico's goalkeeper, xi'b castrion's head coach regino, to fight the fire.

After retino took office, he played three games, one win, one draw and one loss. It was normal for him to lose to Sevilla, and he barely passed the test. The only thing that reassures the fans and the senior management is that with retino, a famous member of Atletico Madrid, and the new coaching staff full of former Atletico Madrid stars, the dressing room has finally stabilized.

In this case, Atletico Madrid, who invested a lot of money this season, did not dare to be careless at all. As early as a week ago, Atletico Madrid chairman serezo began to pour his soul into Porto. "We can't be happy because our opponent in the knockout is Porto. When the Champions League goes to the knockout stage, any opponent is very difficult to play. Porto is a team with the gene of Champions League and has dominated the Portuguese Super League for many years. We need to be careful of such opponents. In my opinion, Porto is as difficult as Manchester United and Juve. We have to take this opponent seriously. After all, they are the first to qualify in the group. Atletico Madrid expect to be promoted after two games

Atletico's fire coach Luciano also said cautiously: "each of the two teams has 50% promotion opportunities. Porto is a very strong team. They have many excellent players, well-trained, and the team's tactical system is very mature. It will not be easy to compete with them."

Atletico's new flag Argentina talent Aguero reminds the whole team to pay attention to Porto, "in the eighth finals you will not encounter a weak opponent, Porto has always been very good in the Champions League, we need to go all out to beat them to be successful, now Porto's best star is Gao Xiaodong, he has scored five goals in the group match, now he is very good The media hyped this match as a fight between me and Gao Xiaodong, but we can't just think about how to deal with Gao Xiaodong. Porto still have many excellent players. We need to pay attention to every Porto player. They will bring us trouble. "

Even the old Porto player asuncian told his teammates and fans that Porto must not be underestimated. Porto has always been excellent in the Champions League, but asuncian was surprised by the departure of Lucio and Lisandro, and also very happy for Atletico. "Lucio and Lisandro have great competition experience. If they are here, we will be very difficult, but now Porto is also very happy It's very effective. "

Obviously, Atletico Madrid is collectively feeding Porto with poisonous milk, and the winning odds offered by William Hill, a gambling company, tell us everything.

When the top 16 of this season's Champions League came into being, among the odds offered by the famous gambling company William Hill, Atletico Madrid ranked 11th and Porto 14th. It seems that the gap is not big, but Atletico Madrid is 18-1, while Porto is 40-1.

after the winter break, due to the different teams' personnel in and out, the team's state is also different, William Hill adjusted each ball The odds of the team winning the championship.After the adjustment, Barcelona are at the top of the table at 4-1, while Chelsea are behind Barcelona at 5-1, while defending champion Manchester United are in third place at 11-2. Atletico and Porto are still 11th and 14th, but the odds of Atletico dropped from 18-1 to 21-1, while Porto dropped to 51-1 after Lisandro and Lucio.

Therefore, Porto people can not and dare not accept the arrogant tactics of Atletico.

Before the match, Porto coach Ferreira warned his players: "Atletico Madrid have not performed well in the League recently, but the Champions League is different from the league. They will definitely unite and do their best. Atletico Madrid have players like Aguero, Fran, Simao and Maxi, as well as Asunci, who have transferred in the summer. He is very familiar with us. The game is definitely not easy to play, and it is very difficult for us to play We have to go all out to fight opponents, only in this way, we can achieve the goal of promotion to the last eight

For the transfer of Luciano and Alessandro, Ferreira hopes that the media and fans will not over interpret it, saying that it is a normal transfer and Porto's strength will not be weakened by the transfer of the two Argentine stars. Gao Xiaodong and Falcao can completely replace them.

As for the goal of visiting Madrid, Ferreira said: "in the face of rivals like Atletico Madrid, I can't ask too much away. If I can get a draw, I will be very satisfied. If I can get an away goal, it will be more perfect."

After the transfer of Luciano Lucho and Alessandro, Gao Xiaodong has become the only star player in Porto. The media also take Gao Xiaodong and Aguero as the focus of the game. In this regard, Gao Xiaodong said that he would not care who played better with Aguero. He paid more attention to whether the team can win and whether they can advance.

Gao Xiaodong's speech was very peaceful, but because he was thought to have driven away two Argentina stars Lucio and Lisandro, he was attacked by Aguero fans on the Internet.

"Don't care? It's like you can win if you care! "

"Don't make excuses for yourself, you can compare with Aguero!"

"The shameless Chinese used to compete with Ronaldo. Ronaldo got the footballer, but now he is compared with Aguero. Aguero is the golden boy in Europe. What is Gao Xiaodong?"

"Shameless Gao Xiaodong, forced the Argentine stars Lucio and Lisandro, Aguero to revenge for his compatriots!"

"A new Portuguese super player Wang also deserves to compete with the European golden boy! I Pooh

"Gao Xiaodong also wants to be a golden boy in Europe? What does he compare with Pato and Benzema? "

"Atletico Madrid will win at home! Aguero is going to explode in winter

……

In the past, it is difficult for fans to make their own voice before the game without media. With the development of the Internet, fans can support their teams and idols and attack their opponents through forums, twitter, Facebook and other channels.

Gao Xiaodong has just risen, and his popularity is not enough. In addition, he does not have twitter or Facebook, so his fans on the Internet are far less than Aguero, who won the golden boy of Europe in 2007, or Fran and Simao, who have been famous for a long time.

In the age of Internet, who has more fans, who is reasonable, who shouts louder and who is right, Porto fans and Atletico fans may be able to kill equally, but Gao Xiaodong's fans are blasted to pieces by Aguero's fans.
