Not long after, the second round of the Champions League hit.

Barcelona face Slavia Prague at home in the fourth round of the group stage.

Slavia Prague are now on three defeats in three games, and the only chance that comes up is a win in the second round.

But against Inter Milan, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund, their winning rate is really too low.

And the first game is against Barcelona at Camp Nou, which is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing for them.

The Slavia Prague players were ready to break down, but they didn't play as aggressively as they should.

In fact, when they arrived at Camp Nou, their feet were already weak in the face of the roar of 100,000 fans.

Facing the bombardment of Barcelona again, they intuitively felt the majesty of the giants' home stadium for the first time.

In this game, Yile was replaced at halftime, but even so, Barcelona still relied on Messi's side breakthrough and sent the ball into the penalty area again and again.

Prague Slavia has become a sieve.

The game became a nightmare they didn't want to recall.

Combative players, confused expedition fans, and heartbroken die-hards in their hometowns.

They have seen the best of Europe, but at the cost of a heart full of devastation.

Easily won the fourth round, Barcelona won four consecutive group stage games, and the promotion was confirmed in advance.

In the next two rounds, they only need to win one game to qualify as top of their group.

Without the pressure of the Champions League, the whole team once again pointed the finger at the league.

The opponent in the next round of the league can be described as menacing.

Atletico Madrid!

This Simeone-led team is different from the traditional Spanish style of play, and their steel defense has become a nightmare for all European teams.

And this time, they're going to challenge Barcelona!

There has been a lot of friction between the two teams in recent times.

The cause was none other than Griezmann.

Faced with the issue of Griezmann's transfer, Atletico Madrid did not want to see Griezmann leave from top to bottom.

Barcelona, on the other hand, has spared no effort to promote transfers.

The contradiction between the two teams broke out completely.

Atletico want to win this game and tell Antoine Griezmann that they can also win the title at Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona were beaten with a stick to the death, and the decision to get Griezmann out even more determined.

Before the game, both sides were talking harshly.

"We are not afraid of Barcelona, although we did not have a good win rate in the previous games, it does not mean that we cannot win, and this is on our home turf and we will tell the Barcelonans what it means to defend," Simeone said at the press conference. ”

Reporter: "But this year Barcelona have become more aggressive, you know what I'm talking about. ”

Simeone nodded: "I understand that Yi's arrival has indeed added a lot of attacking quality to Barcelona, but their current stability is an illusion, and once Yi is silent in midfield, this team will become headless flies." ”

The reporters looked at each other.

We all understand the reason, but how do you say to restrict Yile?!

This is the problem of the whole of Europe today, you say that Yile has no voice, there is no voice, can you say something specifically?

But in response, Simeone said: "This is our tactic and I will not expose our enemies in advance. ”

The reporters were rather speechless, they didn't know if Simeone was suspicious or if he had really thought of a solution.

At this time, a reporter raised his hand and said: "I remember the last time Atletico Madrid faced Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid was defeated by the striker team of Paris, you.... Forehead ....."

Before the reporter finished speaking, he saw Simone's angry eyes and was so frightened that he immediately shut up.

"It was an accident!" Simeone's irritated handshake; "Besides, that's Paris Saint-Germain, what was the lineup in Paris at that time? They have Yi, they have Neymar, they have Mbappe, they have Di Maria, they have Kante, Atletico Madrid is losing to value, not to the lineup. ”

The reporter said weakly: "But Barcelona has Messi in addition to Yi." ”

Simeone frowned and said; "Although I don't want to say that, we have to admit that Messi is old, Barcelona can't play a double core, and the so-called striker team is strangled in the cradle."

Looking at Simeone, who was full of confidence, the reporters were skeptical.

In the evening, major European media reported the interview.

Simeone is confident that they will make Barcelona suffer a defeat at Atletico Madrid's home stadium! 》

Can Atletico end Barcelona's winning streak? 》

Simeone: This is our territory! 》

"The contradiction broke out completely, Simeone said that Messi is old! 》

Fueled by the media, Atletico Madrid fans also began to taunt Barcelona frantically.

And Barcelona fans are not to be outdone, they say Simeone is.

Messi can play for another five years!

Even Valverde, who has always kept a low profile, said publicly: "I don't think Atletico can limit Yi, I don't know where Simeone's confidence comes from, but in fact, this is a common problem for all managers in Europe, and I am very fortunate to have a player like Yi, so I don't have to face this problem." ”

Valverde's remarks were pertinent, but with a hint of frivolity in his tone.

This is interesting for a lot of Barcelona fans.

At the same time, they also support Valverde's claim.

They believe that Yile is unsolvable.

Since his debut, Yile has been improving, and he is always able to pull out something new in a dangerous moment.

Just like Yi Le at the beginning, he was a serious partial student, he couldn't shoot, his body was not strong, and he was a scum in defense except for his interception ability.

But now Yile, who dares to say that he can't.

In FIFA's presentation, Yile is classified as an all-round midfielder.

This is an official certification, which shows the growth of Yile in recent years.

And how Atletico Madrid restricts such Yile face-to-face is also something to look forward to.

After all, a lot of managers have said similar things, but in the end it turned out that none of them succeeded.

Of course, Simeone is different from other managers in that he is a defensive expert and may be able to figure out how to do it.

After all, others restrict Yile in order to attack.

And he restricted Yile for defense.

Different starting points will lead to different results.

Atletico Madrid's steel defense + the restricted Yile, so that their defensive counterattack may not be out of play.

And at this pace, more and more people are starting to pay attention to this game.

Even if it is not the world-renowned Spanish national derby, under the accumulation of various contradictions, there is a considerable smell of gunpowder on both sides.

And under the operation of the media, this game is even defined to the height of 'Griezmann's ownership'.

The Sun of England published an interesting statement.

"Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona, the winner gets Griezmann!" 》
