"Atletico beat Lille 2-1 away thanks to Belleron's last-ditch strike! That kept them at the top of the group, and United were not to be outdone, beating Olympiacos by two clean goals away from home! Now they are in hot pursuit with six points. The situation in this group is starting to become a little clearer, Lille is third with three points, Olympiacos is still one point, in a week's time, Atletico Madrid will go away to Manchester United, Lille is away to Olympiacos, this round will be a crucial round, Atletico Madrid and Manchester United will fight for the top spot in the group, and the winner among them is very likely to qualify for the group in advance! ”

"It's great that the team was able to get two tough wins in a row with a draw in the first round. The Champions League is a difficult game to play, but the team has shown tenacious fighting spirit, Dick is the best manager I have ever had, there is no doubt about it, Atletico will do their best to keep Dick, I believe that Dick is also quite happy at Atletico Madrid, he is the most suitable manager for Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid is also the most suitable club for him! ”

On the second day of Atletico Madrid's away win over Lille, the old Hill enthusiastically praised the team and Dick's performance in an interview, Atletico Madrid is now in a good situation to qualify from the group, and the league's performance is also recovering, and the old Hill is naturally very happy - in the last year or two, the old Hill seems to be the reason for his age and illness, and he rarely appears in public with a violent appearance, but begins to become kind-hearted, of course, perhaps because the wicked are all rushed by Dick.

"Son, after being the president of Atletico Madrid for so many years, I think it's been a good time in the past two years." Old Hill said to Little Hill with a smile in the office, and Little Hill secretly pouted, he felt that the Hill family's limelight was about to be stolen by Dick, but Little Hill had to admit that under Dick's leadership, Atletico Madrid was indeed getting better and better, and this idea made Little Hill quite entangled......

Dick naturally did not know the conversation between the father and son, after returning from France, Dick began to prepare for the fourth round of the Champions League group stage match, for Atletico Madrid, this can be regarded as the most important game of the group stage, if they can beat Manchester United away, then Atletico Madrid's points will reach 10 points, basically can determine a group qualifier, but if it is a draw or defeat, then the next situation is not easy to say.

So he started preparing for this game very early, and in the next home game against Espanyol, he is ready to use the substitutes to spend this game, and let the main team have a good rest.

However, Atletico Madrid's recent form seems to be very good, although the substitutes have been sent, but the run-in of the substitutes has been almost done in the previous games, and in this game, Jorgensen's performance was extremely active, in the absence of Vicente and Belleron, he became a free man in the front, constantly relying on his speed and skill to create opportunities for Atletico Madrid, he first helped Cruise open the scoring in the first half through a through ball from the edge of the penalty area, Then in the 80th minute, they burst into the penalty area and forced the opposing defender to foul and won a penalty, which he scored himself at the signal of Dick, and Atletico Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 at home, showing their excellent form!

"Atletico are strong at the moment, in every aspect. We're a team as a team, and no matter who plays, we can play well. Playing on two fronts is a new challenge for us, but we're getting used to it, both for me and the players...... I have a lot of confidence that this season will be even better than last season. ”

'It's a big game for us and at Old Trafford we have a lot of difficulties ahead of us. The good thing is that we're in a good position to qualify, and even if there's a slip-up, we won't lose our chances, so we don't have any pressure on this game and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to perform at Old Trafford, where we won the first leg and we have to try for the second leg. ”

Before leaving for England, Dick said in an interview, and then he flew with the team to Manchester – where there would be absolutely no one to welcome him......

British fans never show any gentlemanly attitude when facing their opponents, they are the most ardent fans in the big four leagues, and any opponent who comes to play in England will be met with merciless boos, and the British media? Dick had offended them all before the home game against Manchester United, and they naturally didn't have a good attitude when they saw Dick.

"That arrogant and stupid Chinese came to England...... He relied on his luck to beat Manchester United at home, but at Old Trafford there was no such opportunity! Manchester United will show them that they were able to win because they were lucky! ”

Before the game against Atletico, Manchester United were still in excellent form in the league, and after returning from Spain, they won three consecutive league games, and scored at least three goals in each game - 4-0 at home to Ipswich Town, 5-3 away to Tottenham Hotspur, 3-1 away to Sunderland, an average of four goals per game, the madness of the attack shocked everyone, just in the last round, in order to prepare for this Champions Cup game, They sent a large number of substitutes to lose 2-1 at home to Bolton Wanderers, but the defeat did not affect their morale as they were seen by everyone as they lost unexpectedly to Atletico just to save their strength against Atletico.

"By luck? There is no such thing as a game on the football field that doesn't rely on luck to win. Being able to win is the last word, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of our win at home, we're top of the group now, that's the truth. ”

Dick mercilessly ridiculed the English journalists' claims at his pre-match press conference: "I know why you're upset, isn't it because of closed training that you didn't interview Stam?" I'll tell you, I really don't want you to be interviewed...... Stam is my player now and I need him to give his full attention to this Champions Cup game, so why should I let him be disturbed unnecessarily in order to meet your demands? Atletico Madrid bought Stam for $24 million, not so that he could meet your fucking demands, but to help Atletico win, you know? It's not you who pay for it, and it's not you who pay him, where do you get so many demands? I think you guys are spoiled by yourself, and you really think the whole world is going to revolve around you? Damn, I'm fucking paid now by directing games, not by pleasing you! ”

The journalists in England are getting angry, they have never seen such unreasonable people - of course they don't think about how outrageous their demands are, but think that you don't meet our demands, forget it, and scold us like this, it's just unreasonable!

Dick didn't give them a chance to fight back, and after saying this, he immediately left the scene of the press conference, anyway, he didn't mix in England, and he was not afraid of the English media criticizing him or something.

And Ferguson laughed slightly when he saw this report, this young coach really has a personality, Ferguson admires him very much in this regard, because he often swears in front of reporters, and once scolded a reporter to his face as a "fucking idiot", so he will naturally sympathize with Dick's performance......

However, Ferguson doesn't want to let go of the victory in this game, even if he loses to Atletico Madrid away from home, Manchester United has not won away from home against Spanish clubs in European competitions, so it's a big deal to continue to win, and at home, Ferguson doesn't want to lose the game easily.

Old Trafford is a mecca for Manchester United, where they rarely lose and rarely tolerate a team lose.

During this time, due to his excellent performance in the game against Atletico Madrid, Veron has gained more trust, and he has also played well in the Premier League, Manchester United's three consecutive wins he has assists in almost every game, although he lost to Bolton in the last round, Veron also scored in the game, seeing that he seems to be integrating into the team smoothly, Ferguson is also relieved, this game, he will still reuse Veron, if he can suppress Atletico Madrid in the midfield at home, the probability of winning is naturally much greater!

Dick laughed when he got his hands on United's starting line-up.

The four midfielders plus a Veron, this is Manchester United's midfield, Ruud van Nistelrooy is alone - in the starting lineup, Manchester United continued to start at Atletico Madrid's home stadium, it seems that Ferguson felt that the lineup played well in that game, and Dick's hard work was not in vain.

"Manchester United's starting XI was almost exactly the same as the first leg. The reason is simple, they thought they had the advantage in that game and it was just bad luck to lose in the end...... Now we're going to tell them they're wrong! Let's play against them in midfield! Let's see that we are much better than them in terms of control in midfield! If our midfielders can suppress the midfielders of Real Madrid and Bayern, then we can suppress the midfielders of Manchester United! The last game was suppressed by them...... What do you think is the reason? ”

With a confident smile, Dick asked the players on the training pitch.

The players looked at each other, they didn't know why Dick asked like this, they were also a little puzzled why they were suppressed by Manchester United, if the opponent's midfield did surpass them in terms of control, it was nothing to say, but they obviously felt that the opponent's midfield was not capable of suppressing them......

After a long while, Belleron said with some hesitation: "Is it because of tactics?" ”

"Yes, that's why. I deliberately asked you to retract your defense in the second half of that game and play Manchester United with a quick counter-attack, just to give Ferguson and Manchester United the illusion that they can hold us down in the midfield! Now it seems that it worked well. ”

Seeing Dick's strange smiling expression, the Atletico Madrid players reacted one after another - no wonder that game felt so awkward, it was you who stumbled us later after a long time! Don't bring such!

"I'm sorry, guys, I couldn't have said that to you at the time, or it would be self-defeating...... I just want to make it easier for us to play away from home, and if United had used their previous midfield combination, it would have been difficult for us to win because their midfield control would have been reduced, but they would have been much stronger in attack and in terms of scoring! When Veron is on the pitch, their control is going up, but they are no better than us, and the pressure on our defence is lower, and now is the time for us to prove it! Let them know in the game that they are far from our opponents than possession! ”
