Chapter 876： It's all in vain

876 It's all in vain

During the intermission, Simeone adjusted his tactics in the second half.

He abandoned his previous defensive counterattack ideas and instead let his team take the initiative to attack at home.

There is a statistic that is very unfavorable to Atletico Madrid. In the restructured UEFA Champions League knockout, none of the teams that lost zero to two at home in the first leg can come back on the road!

For Atletico Madrid, what they need to do now is to achieve goals while shortening the gap as much as possible!

After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid made a substitution.

This season, the Spanish striker Villa, who joined Atletico Madrid this season, replaced Raul Garcia!

This substitution means that Simeone's tactics have changed!

They want to press the offense!

Gao Bo knew this very clearly.

Simeone put Diego Costa and Villa on the front line, playing double centers.

On both sides are Saul and Mane.

The speed and breakthrough ability of these two players are good. Atletico Madrid hopes to create opportunities by attacking from the side.

However, Gao Bo is not worried about Atletico Madrid's wing attack.

Because of the central defender combination of Kompany and Umtiti.

One old and one young, the partner is still very tacit.

And Manchester City's two full-backs are not slow, they are not afraid of Mane and Saul strong on the wing.

After seeing Simeone's adjustment, Gao Bo was unmoved.

Abandoning the defensive counterattack, Simeone may not make his team more powerful.

...

Simeone put Bao on the offense, hoping that his team's offense can improve.

However, even if it was luck, he did not stand on his side.

Because just five minutes into the second half, Mane was injured.

The initial examination by the team doctor was a muscle strain, and such an injury obviously cannot remain on the court.

On the sidelines, Simeone's anger can be seen by everyone.

The Argentine coach smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground.

In this game, Simeone felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time!

This powerlessness cannot even be vented.

He was a little bit angry.

Because he doesn't know what to do now.

Mane is one of Atletico Madrid's most important attackers. After he was injured, Atletico Madrid wanted to strengthen the attack, like a source of water, which is simply impossible.

"Luck by Atletico Madrid, they completed the substitution in the second half, but Mane was injured. This important offensive striker of Atletico Madrid is obviously a player that Simeone relied heavily on in the second half. However..."

The Spanish commentator shook his head.

In this game, Atletico Madrid cannot compare with Manchester City in any respect.

Both teams are the top teams in their respective leagues. However, from the perspective of this game alone, Atletico Madrid is obviously completely at a disadvantage. The strength of the two teams is very different.

"Gao Bo has undoubtedly built an invincible division in the Premier League. I don't know, who can beat them in his team?"

The Spanish commentator said.

.....

Gao Bo walked towards the horse who was receiving treatment on the sidelines.

He comforted his veteran for a bit, and then returned to the coaching bench.

Simeone was also forced to use the second substitution of the game.

He could only replace the injured Mane with Thiago, and then put Kokla to the side.

As a result, Atletico Madrid's wing assault ability has dropped a lot.

Because Cork is not the kind of winger who assaults with the ball, he is a midfielder. Therefore, Simeone's tactical arrangements made during the intermission were thus killed by Mane's injury.

Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid still launched a fierce attack at home!

They pressed very close.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Atletico Madrid finally got their best chance of this game through a patient attack organization.

Cork passed the ball into the penalty area and gave it to the feet of veteran Villa.

After Villa adjusted slightly and pushed the far end, goalkeeper Oblak had no choice but to miss the goal. However, the football missed the post!

Atletico Madrid missed the best goal!

Wasting opportunities will naturally be punished.

Two minutes later!

Kaka took an angry shot on the penalty area line, the football bounced back on the crossbar, and Griezmann, who just inserted into the penalty area, pushed the ball with his foot and sent the ball into the goal!

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!"

The commentator is chanting for Griezmann's goal!

"Griezmann!!! Three to zero!!! Manchester City leads Atletico Madrid three to zero away!!!"

"This is the biggest game that Atletico Madrid has lost at home this season. Facing a team like Manchester City, even Atletico Madrid seems to be unable to do anything!

The commentators in the commentary booth said one after another.

Silence fell in the stands.

After the goal, Griezmann also raised his hands and refused to celebrate.

After all, he has been in this stadium for two years, and he still has feelings for it.

In the course of Calderon, Griezmann has also become a real superstar from a fledgling star!

"I believe that the fans of Atletico Madrid must be very complicated now. The superstar who came out of Calderon made a counter-attack at the stadium of Calderon and broke the goal of Atletico Madrid. In this scenario, the chairman of Atletico Madrid is Mr. Rezzo must not want to see..."

In the commentary, the Spanish commentator shook his head and said.

One of the important reasons why Gao Bo left Atletico Madrid that year was that during Griezmann’s transfer, Cerezo never communicated with coach Gao Bo. He decided without authorization to sell Griezmann to Manchester City at a high price. However, unexpectedly, Gao Bo also resigned and left, and then went to Manchester City.

At this time, there was sparse applause from the stands.

Atletico Madrid fans also love this player who has only played for the team for two seasons, but has made great contributions to the team.

On the podium Cerezo's face was very ugly.

The players he sold helped Gao Bo a lot.

Even if Griezmann's transfer fee is sky-high, Cerezo feels very upset.

Especially now, after Griezmann scored, he can still get the applause of Atletico Madrid fans.

This makes Cerezo even more unhappy!

In the next scene, Cerezo got up and left.

In Calderon's stands, the fans first sang Gleezmann's songs, and then collectively sang songs praising Gao Bo.

Such a scene, as if Gao Bo has been the head coach of Atletico Madrid.

Cerezo worked hard, but in the end he found that Gao Bo's position in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans is still much higher than his chairman...
