Eight Hundred and Seventy-Two Began

872 start

Yes, whose home is this!

Many commentators watched this scene in amazement!

With the appearance of Gao Bo, the stadium is completely boiling! !

The fans cheered and the applause resounded through the sky!

"Atlético de Madrid fans are welcoming Gao Bo, the most successful head coach in the history of the team, with warm cheers and applause!"

"Yes, even though he only coached Atlético Madrid for two years, Gao Bo brought the team two league titles, two King's Cup titles, and a Champions League title!! If you add a Super Cup title, Gao Bo is helping the team. The team has won six important championship trophies, which also makes him the coach who has won the most championships for Atletico Madrid in the history of the team, as many as the legendary coach Aragones in the history of Atlético de Madrid, and more crucial. What's more, these six championship trophies also include a Champions League trophy that Atlético de Madrid has never touched!! Atlético de Madrid, in the hands of Gao Bo, has come out of the perennial haze, and has since moved to the peak!"

the narrator said.

Gao Bo, who walked out of the court, was actually startled by the battle, and then he reacted.

It seems that the stadium still welcomes itself.

Gao Bo raised his hand and walked towards the coaching bench while applauding the fans around him cheering him.

Simeone, who was waiting beside the coaching bench, had a complicated expression.

To be honest, he was a little envious.

Although he has won the support of fans now, but if he wants to make fans crazy like he is now, I am afraid, he has more to do.

He reached out his hand.

"Looks like you are very welcome here, Gao!"

Simone said.

"If we take a win from here, they probably won't."

Gao Bo smiled and shook his head.

"Then you might be disappointed, they will be happier after the game than they are now."

Although both head coaches are smiling,

But it didn't show weakness at all!

Gao Bo naturally cannot be merciful because of the enthusiasm of the Atlético de Madrid fans for him.

And Simeone needless to say!

Facing Gao Bo's team, Simeone is actually more fighting spirit!

Before the game, he had completely instigated the battle of Atlético de Madrid players! !

Argentine tough guys don't want to live in the shadow of others all the time!

And to get rid of Gao Bo's shadow, the best way, in addition to surpassing Gao Bo in terms of performance, is to directly defeat Gao Bo's team!

Beat Manchester City! !

This is something that Simeone has been thinking about almost after the draw of the Champions League came out!

To this end, he even made the team two or three weeks in advance to prepare meticulously for this game!

Defensive organization! !

Tough pressing! !

Of course these need not be said.

In addition, Simeone also let the team practice set-pieces!

If Simeone has one trick to deal with Manchester City, it is set-pieces.

In Simeone's view, in the battle between the two sides, Atletico Madrid's overall strength is at a disadvantage, and the other side is a terrible team with 30 consecutive victories in the Premier League.

In the face of such a team, the only way is to strengthen the defense of the midfield, and use tough defense, close-fitting, suffocating pressing, and crazy running to limit Manchester City's offense!

This was the case when Gao Bo coached Atletico Madrid.

And Simeone is just Xiao Gui and Cao Cheng, or, in other words, more emphasis on running and pressing!

Even Simeone asked his players to be bigger in the action of the game!

Moreover, when Gao Bo was at Atletico Madrid, he emphasized physical fitness and running. This set also made it easy for Simeone to complete his vision on this basis.

For Simeone, taking over Gao Bo's team is simply a comfortable thing that could not be more comfortable.

In fact, Gao Bo also borrowed Simeone's ideas when designing tactics for Atlético de Madrid.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid regained its combat effectiveness almost quickly under Simeone's hands!

The current Atlético de Madrid is no longer the fake giant that has been in the La Liga league all year round. They have already completed the Phoenix Nirvana and become an important team in the La Liga arena that cannot be ignored!

Their strength, even in the whole of Europe, is top-notch!

At this time, near the center circle, the captains of the two teams, Kompany and Gabi, were standing there, engaged in the ceremony of picking sides.

The two exchanged flags with each other, but did not communicate much.

Soon, the side picking ceremony was over, Manchester City got the kick-off right, and Atletico Madrid got the side picking right.

Gabi pointed to the opposite side, where Manchester City were warming up and the side of the goal now occupied by Manchester City players.

Although the two sides had to exchange positions, Gabi did the same.

Because, behind this goal, is the gathering place of the diehard Atlético de Madrid fans.

He specifically chose the goal of this position, in fact, the purpose is also very obvious.

At least in the first half, they have to solidly defend first, the ball may be more, and it will run in this half!

With the full support of the fans, perhaps the players of Atlético de Madrid can also do a better job of defending in the first half! !

As the players on both sides switched positions, the players stood in their respective positions.

Hazard is standing in the middle circle, ready to tee off!

In the stands at the Calderon Stadium, the voices from the fans were much smaller than before.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the game to start!

Italian referee Rocchi raised his wrist, and also communicated with several of his assistants through the headset.

It's game time!

Rocky blew the whistle to start the game!

at the same time!

The stands cheered too! ! !

"The game starts!! The game starts 1!"

In the violent cheers, the referees from all walks of life also started their own commentary work! !

“The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid vs. Manchester City at home!! The two sides will fight for a place in the Champions League semi-finals!!”

In China, Duan Xuan's voice was also transmitted to thousands of households through the screens of CCTV Sports Channel, and to the ears of all the fans watching the game on TV!

"Let's take a look at the starting wood lists of both sides. In this game, the two teams can be said to be the main force!"

"For Atlético Madrid, goalkeeper Courtois, center-back combination Godin and Miranda, left-back Sandro, right-back Carvajal, in terms of midfield, the four midfielders are Koke, Gabi, and Law. Garcia, Saul, two strikers, Mane Diego Costa!"

"Manchester City starting goalkeeper De Gea, central defender Kompany partnered with Umtiti, left defender Trippier, right defender Kolarov, double midfielder Casemiro, Fernandinho, attacking midfielder Ka Card, left midfielder David Silva, right Griezmann, striker Hazard!!"
