I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 143 Simeone and Atletico Madrid

After reaching the FA Cup final again after a lapse of 9 years, Manchester United quickly turned their attention to the upcoming Champions League semi-final first leg as a guest to challenge Atletico Madrid.

Whether it is for Atletico Madrid or Manchester United, they are unfamiliar opponents, because the two sides have no record of fighting in the main game before, and there is not even much contact with each other.

The only thing that has some connection between the two teams is Manchester United's number one goalkeeper De Gea, who made his debut at Atletico Madrid before moving to Manchester United.

This is mainly because, although Atletico Madrid has always been the third strongest in La Liga, they are not regarded as the first-tier giants in Europe, and there are not many opportunities to play in the Champions League.

Even when they performed well in the Champions League, it coincided with Manchester United's poor performance. For various reasons, these two teams met in the main game for the first time this season.

In fact, the situation of the rivals Manchester United and Atletico Madrid has many similarities with the other pair of rivals Real Madrid and Manchester City. However, the rise of Atletico Madrid in recent years is not due to the entry of capital like Manchester City, but the coaching ability of Atletico Madrid coach Simeone.

This led to the fact that the media could not find much hype about the game before the game. In the end, in desperation, they focused on the issue of De Gea's return to Madrid against his old club on the one hand, and Ye Su on the other. And Simeone, two well-known young coaches in today's football.

Although the media frequently hyped up the confrontation between the two so-called young marshals, Ye Su didn't take this matter to heart at all. On the contrary, Simeone spoke out in the media, saying that he would have a good fight with Ye Su, and let Ye Su see how powerful he is.

Simeone was a well-known shit-stirring stick in his player days. Now that he is the coach, although there are some changes, the so-called nature is hard to change, and he still has a combative personality.

Of course, Simeone's main purpose is to provoke Ye Su, so that Ye Su can't concentrate on the team's affairs.

It's a pity that Ye Su was not fooled at all, and ignored Simeone's provocation, which made Simeone feel like he was punching cotton.

In the Atletico Madrid team, another voice is the former Liverpool and Chelsea player Torres. The former golden boy said that he will end Manchester United's progress in the Champions League.

………………

The day before the match between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, Zidane's Real Madrid drew a goalless draw with the home team Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in another Champions League semi-final match this season.

This result for Real Madrid,

It is undoubtedly very beneficial, and it can even be said that they have already entered the Champions League final with half a foot.

Obviously, in the contest between the two cities of Manchester and Madrid, Madrid has the upper hand.

Next, it is the turn of Manchester United, the boss of Manchester, to challenge Madrid's second child Atletico Madrid as a guest.

The team arrived at the Calderon Bridge two hours earlier, and the home team Atletico Madrid arrived almost at the same time.

The two teams are about to usher in a peak matchup in the Champions League semi-finals.

This battle not only attracted the attention of all fans in England and Spain, but also fans all over the world.

This is the first confrontation between the two sides in the main match. There is no record of confrontation before, and even if there is, there may be no reference for this game.

Before the game, everyone also felt that neither side could come up with any unexpected moves in this game.

Whether it is Simeone or Ye Su, it is impossible to give the opponent too many opportunities. The key depends on who is better at seizing opportunities and who makes fewer mistakes.

Compared with the last Champions League game against Bayern at home in this game, Manchester United basically did not make many adjustments. The starting goalkeeper is De Gea, Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Kyle Walker form a defensive line, Kante and Carrick partner double midfielders, Martial, De Bruyne and Vardy appear In the forward line, Rooney shot forward with a single arrow.

Atletico Madrid has three different adjustments. Due to Godin's injury, he was unable to play, so he was replaced by Savage, and Jimenez replaced Lucas. In addition, Torres returned from the red card, replacing Carrasco, and partnered with Griezmann in the striker combination.

………………

At the beginning of this game, because it was a home game, Atletico Madrid had a very strong desire to attack at the beginning.

In the 3rd minute, Atletico Madrid's bottom pass was successfully cleared by Manchester United defender Maguire. After receiving the ball from the outside, Juan Forlan passed the ball to Saul, who shot directly but the ball was blocked by Germany. Gea confiscated.

In the 7th minute, Felipe assisted and sent an over-the-top long pass. Griezmann inserted a barb in the penalty area and shot higher, but unfortunately he was also offside first. Torres also dribbled the ball into the penalty area in the subsequent attack, and the shot was also resolved by De Gea.

Although Simeone's team is extremely good at defensive counterattacks, their high-pressure press and fast break are also very good. In this game, their tactic of grabbing the start with Manchester United was a success.

When the game progressed to the tenth minute, Atletico Madrid instigated a counterattack on the spot after stealing the ball in the penalty area. Saul rushed forward with the ball and quickly made a long pass to transfer the ball to the right side of the front court.

After Torres pulled the ball to the right, he drove straight in with the ball all the way. Using a sudden acceleration after an emergency stop, he got rid of Luke Shaw and passed the ball into the penalty area.

After passing the ball, Saul rushed forward quickly before Van Dijk and Maguire closed the door. He dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough. Facing De Gea's defense, he rubbed his left foot into the far corner and the ball bounced inside the left post. At the gate, De Gea couldn't reach it.

1:0 Atletico Madrid opened the scoring first at home.

"GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

Accompanied by the on-site commentator's long sound of goal, Saul turned and rushed out of the stadium, and the fans in the entire Calderon Stadium rushed out of their seats, shouting and cheering at the top of their lungs!

Finally scored!

"In the 11th minute, Atletico Madrid launched a quick counterattack. Torres made a cross from the right. Saul calmly seized the opportunity and opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid, breaking the deadlock on the field!"

"One to zero!"

The entire Calderon stadium fell into a carnival.

What is going on now is the semi-finals of the Champions League!

Ye Su on the sidelines was very depressed. He knew that with Simeone and Atletico Madrid's pissing nature, they would definitely put a bus in front of the goal after the game restarted in a while, and the power of Simeone's bus was not inferior to Mu's. Buses, even more so.

Don't you see that in the last game, Simeone's Atletico Madrid used this method to suffocate the mighty Barcelona 2:0 at home and reject the Cosmos team from the semi-finals?

Manchester United's game is difficult.

Ye Su's guess was right. Atletico Madrid, who had successfully scored a goal, began to enter the defensive stage, while Manchester United began to attack frantically.
