The two Champions League battles in the early hours of this morning are very thrilling, although Chelsea are still defeated, Bayern are quite old! At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time tomorrow, there are two more games to decide the other 2 places in the Champions League final four. Among them, Liverpool, who play at home, have a 2-goal advantage, and eliminating Benfica should be a high probability event. Manchester City, which leads 1-0, can eliminate Atletico Madrid away from home, there is great suspense. This game is more worth the Chinese fans staying up late to watch!
No, the game has not yet begun, and the two managers have already started a war of words. In the last round of matches, Manchester City won 1-0 at home, and after the game, Guardiola said helplessly: "Whether it is in prehistoric times, now or 100,000 years later, it is very difficult to face 5-5-0. To this, Simeone responded: "I started coaching in 05 or 06, and to this day, I have never despised (desprecié) my peers. I always put myself in the shoes of others, and I think there are different ways to express his feelings. "Maybe Simeone smelled disrespect for Atletico from His words." I have to keep respect among my peers, and I will always, always, always respect my peers. "It is true that in the face of the iron barrel array, you can sulk, but you cannot openly spit out words of contempt. You know, Simeone is a more bloody manager than Guardiola. Otherwise, how could the fans call him a bandit?
However, tomorrow morning is atletico's home stadium, and if there is another 5-5-0 sacrifice, it will of course be waiting to be eliminated. But if you play against Manchester City, it may allow Manchester City to extend its victory. Simeone, of course, had to master the balance between attack and defense. Just as Premier League commentator Sutton said in the Daily Mail column that "Atletico need at least 1 goal to qualify", Simeone will definitely mobilize the attacking strength of the whole team to ensure that he can score 1-2 goals, of which Felix's performance is crucial, of course, not as Sutton said, he is the only player who has the ability to threaten Manchester City's goal.
Hopefully, Sutton's words will anger the grid. At the pre-match press conference, Simeone exaggerated the lattice: "Griezmann is one of the best players in the world. He won the World Cup and it's also important that he performs well at the club... He craves assists, he craves points, and I'm sure he's up to the task. ”
Tomorrow morning's life and death battle is related to the pattern of the Champions League top 4, and it is also related to the honor of the Premier League and La Liga. If Atletico can counterattack and advance, it means that 3 La Liga teams will reach the top four of the Champions League; conversely, if Manchester City advances, then the top 4 of the Champions League will most likely be divided between the Premier League and La Liga – and perhaps neutral fans will want to see this situation more.
