Things on the pitch are all about the trade-offs and when City come back to their senses and the players are able to adapt to this intensity at Atletico.

But Simeone has a lot of tricks, he has improved more obviously than the previous game, this game his team blocked Manchester City's control more actively, will not let Manchester City easily complete 20 feet of reverse passes, Atletico Madrid often through fouls and other ways to disrupt Manchester City's passing rhythm, by the way to relieve their own high defensive and slightly messy formation.

In the face of this tactic, Wen Sheng was also helpless, he used to deal with Barcelona like this, but this time he was cleaned up.

The first ten minutes showed fans that Atletico Madrid had the courage to break through the cauldron and the hope of scoring goals, but then, sorry, the story went back to the old routine, Manchester City pressed step by step anyway, Atletico Madrid did not retreat, they will definitely not rely on two or three people to complete the attack.

Of course, it's not that there is no attack, Manchester City still has shooting opportunities, but it's not as good as Atletico Madrid away.

Wen Sheng had blatantly defended himself before the game, and it was too normal for the team on the scene to show such a posture.

Wensheng also has a lot of troubles, this season Manchester City is more inclined to pressing attacks, if the opponent is Bayern Munich or Dortmund, this can play a good game, but the opponent is Atletico Madrid, special, the taste has changed.

Atletico Madrid's defensive ability is very strong, and the style of play is tough, Wen Sheng didn't dare to let Manchester City hit the opponent with all his might, so he naturally had to kick like this.

Atletico say blame me?!

Wen Sheng said: "This is really your fault! ”

With this kind of foul tactic at Atletico Madrid, it will be difficult for Manchester City to play a fast-paced attack.

Everything is divided into two, fouls from Atletico Madrid's side, the bad effect is that it is too much waste of game time, the more fouls in a game, the shorter the effective game time will definitely be, and it also brings yellow and red card pressure to Atletico Madrid's players.

But on the bright side, disrupting City's control of the rhythm and eliminating the potential threat of Manchester City, Gabi's foul in the 17th minute was still quite powerful, Wen Sheng was furious, he was the manager to take three steps to see the ball could bring great safety to Atletico Madrid.

Gabi may also have been aware of it, so he tackled decisively, and afterwards pretended that it was normal physical contact, and the referee gave him a yellow card.

Another positive aspect is that the referee may not blow for a foul, they may be subjectively reluctant to reduce the flow of the game, and some minor fouls may be ignored by them? And then the benefits are Atletico's? They were able to get a chance to switch from defense to offense.

Wen Sheng doesn't know if Simeone is a psychology expert, presumably it may be, anyway, the referee's blowing penalty scale is indeed a bit lenient? Not very good for Manchester City.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid played 0-0.

Is there a huge disparity in possession between the two sides? Manchester City, playing at home, had 64 per cent possession of the ball, but there was little effective game time? Such a possession ratio does not make much sense at all, and in more than 30% of the possession time, Atletico Madrid completed six shots on goal, which is a successful tactic from the side.

The players returned to the dressing room and kept complaining that Atletico had too many tactical fouls, and the referee was a fool? De Bruyne kept communicating with the referee from half-time to express his dissatisfaction? Back in the locker room, it was much quieter, listening to the other teammates complain.

"Alright, guys! Stop this senseless whining! Wen Sheng greeted everyone.

"This will provoke your anger, and we don't need anger now? We need to be calm! ”

"I told you before the game that the criticism doesn't matter? We don't need to fall into the confusion of self-denial, only winning and winning are what we need to do! It's the same now, we're going to have some miscalculations or injustices, but we need to think about it and solve it! Wen Sheng pointed to his head.

"Now we're the team ahead of the curve, you know what we need to do in the second half?!"

Defensively, of course, clean sheets.

Players have conditioned reflexes, this question doesn't need to be answered.

If Manchester City are Pep Guardiola's manager, the answer to this question is that we have to score one more than them, and the manager's style is different, which does have a big impact on the players.

Fortunately, these players of Manchester City can be regarded as being successfully brainwashed by Wen Sheng.

Wen Sheng's encouragement made the players finally calm down.

After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid still adopted the same strategy as in the first half, but the referee may have been really moved by De Bruyne and other Manchester City players, and the whistle sounded a little more diligently than in the first half.

Manchester City's threat has grown, and although Atletico's defence has always been solid, they have become more and more active in defending as time goes on today, and the gaps will naturally be exposed more and more.

In the 65th minute, Manchester City scored a goal, but it was offside.

Bandit coach Simeone finally couldn't hold his breath, knowing that the opponent would give him a fatal blow, but he still chose to make the team more and more aggressive, and sure enough, while getting the opportunity, they were also creating opportunities for Manchester City, and finally Manchester City in the 82nd minute, in the 86th minute, substitute Guideti scored twice for Manchester City to rewrite the score to 2:0.

Completely locked the victory, Wen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that Simeone's choice was more conservative than his own, if it was him, he would definitely choose to take risks and aggressive tactics early.

The longer the time passes, the more obvious the physical exertion, and it is not so easy to fight for your life again.

At the end of the game, the Etihad Stadium was in ecstasy, and Manchester City once again reached the Champions League final, although the final opponent was Real Madrid, but fans believe that this year's Manchester City will be more worth looking forward to.

Wen Sheng celebrated the victory with his fists held high, and the substitutes rushed onto the pitch and the players on the pitch enjoyed the wonderful moment.

Simeone finally showed his gentlemanly demeanor, and as soon as the match was over, he went to Wensheng's side, "Congratulations, these are two good rounds!" Looking forward to seeing each other next time! ”

"Thank you! Diego, are you interested in having a drink after the game?! This is our English tradition! ”

"I'm sorry! Let's talk about it next time! Simeone politely declined Wensheng's invitation.

He was very disappointed to lose this game, Atletico Madrid's own financial resources are relatively weak, they are not rich masters, his team has shined this season, and the team that has not been said will definitely sell people.

Diego. Costa has been booked by Chelsea, the other players are to be determined, what is the strength of his own family next season, he really has no confidence in his heart, the Champions League final, within reach, when will he encounter this opportunity next time?! Simone has no bottom in his heart, how can he not be lost.
