Dick walked into the press conference after the game with a swagger.

Lucescu sat in his seat with a blushing face, he really didn't want to come to this press conference, because he could almost guess how petty and angry Dick would seem.

And when Dick walked into the press conference, Lucescu had been sitting for ten minutes, he said several times that Dick would leave if he didn't come again, but was stopped by the host, and now when he saw Dick come in, he didn't even bother to get up, Dick didn't look at him, and he didn't have a polite handshake with Lucescu after the game, but just pulled out a chair and sat down by himself.

"I don't have much to say about this fight." Lucescu ended the home coach's speech with a simple sentence, and he really didn't want to say anything, because after suffering such a heavy defeat, how many managers were in the mood to say anything after the game?

"I don't have much to say...... It's nice to have a normal football match instead of a rugby game...... In such a normal game, our team played at their level normally and everyone saw the game. I'm proud to be able to lead the team to the quarter-finals for the first time in the Champions League and it's a blessing to be rewarded for my hard work. Thanks to the players, Stam and Thuram are the best centre-backs in the world, I never doubted that and I'm looking forward to the draw for the quarter-finals and hopefully against a weaker team. ”

Although Dick said that he had "nothing to say" at first, he still said a lot, and the host smiled wryly, and then announced that he had entered the reporter's questioning session.

"What do you think of the enforcement of the referee on duty, Corina? There were few fouls in the game, and the game went on smoothly. A reporter stood up and asked.

"Collina is the best referee in the world, that's recognizable. He also showed two yellow cards to our players, but that's all normal wholesale. If a referee can always insist on a fair decision, then he will be able to be respected by more people. This is normal. ”

"In the case of qualifying with a draw, Atletico Madrid has scored so many goals, will such a state overdraft affect Atletico Madrid's next games?"

"If you can't qualify, even if you don't overdraw, it's useless. In such a complex group, can I not let the team play to the fullest to try for the win? Even if we have a five-goal lead, I'll be worried if Galatasaray will score six goals in the final minute. ”

Dick's words caused a burst of laughter from the reporters at the scene, and Dick's words were a bit mocking, Atletico scored the fifth goal with only ten minutes left in the game, and if Galatasaray could turn the tables around, they would be the best team in the world.

What's more painful than losing by a big score? That is, after losing, you have to listen to the opponent's words with a gun and a stick...... After Dick babbling on and on, Lucescu finally couldn't hold back and walked away again.

When Atletico Madrid swept Galatasaray to top the group, in the other game, Liverpool, who had been bottom five rounds, finally came to the top in the final round, beating Roma by two goals at home to secure the last qualifying spot!

At this point, the quarterfinals of this Champions Cup have finally all been produced, La Liga teams have maintained their strength in recent years, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna have all entered the quarterfinals, while Serie A is wiped out in the group stage, Roma and Juventus have died in the group of death, plus Parma who capsized in the qualifiers, Lazio who were out of the group stage in the first stage, so far there is no Serie A team in the quarterfinals - but the Milan duo mixed well in the League Cup......

Three La Liga teams, plus Manchester United and Liverpool in the Premier League, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and a surprise dark horse Panathinaikos, make up the quarterfinals of this Champions Cup!

Of course, Panathinaikos was able to reach the quarter-finals, thanks to a relatively easy group, except for Real Madrid, the other teams were not very strong, and in the end they beat Porto and Sparta Prague to advance to the quarter-finals.

After this round, the head coaches of these eight teams will go to the quarterfinals of the draw ceremony - this is also the last draw, in this draw will be divided into the upper and lower halves, and the rest of the schedule will be arranged.

As the group leader, Atletico Madrid will avoid Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen in this draw, but in addition to Panathinaikos, plus Liverpool, which is unlikely to play against Atletico Madrid, whether it is Deportivo La Coruna or Bayern, is not an easy opponent to deal with.

'I think we could run into Bayern.' Dick continued to chat with Iruetta and Bosque at the draw ceremony: "Because we won Bayern in the Super Cup, UEFA is very likely to separate us from Bayern......

Irueta smiled and did not answer, because after Deportivo La Coruna enters the quarterfinals this time, it will definitely face a strong team, whether it is Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid or Manchester United, it will not be easy to deal with.

However, the final draw ceremony surprised everyone.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich continued to meet each other, with Real Madrid meeting their biggest European rivals immediately after an easy group, while Deportivo La Coruna met Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, who were lucky enough to meet Panathinaikos......

"Didn't you send me to the Final Four?" Dick couldn't help but say something in Chinese, and his stunned expression made all the fans who watched the draw ceremony laugh.

"You said you were likely to run into Bayern, but it was Panathinaikos, how do you feel about that?" After walking out of the lottery ceremony, a reporter pointed the microphone at Dick's mouth.

"Hey, did you know what I was talking to Bosque so quickly? It seems that the lip expert is really good to please. ”

Dick began with a sarcastic remark, then added: "This proves that UEFA is honourable and right, that they were drawn at random because there is no reason why we should be taken care of like this...... We were lucky. Of course, teams that can reach the quarter-finals are not easy to deal with, and if we are not careful, we may be beaten by Panathinaikos. ”

It is indeed good luck to meet Panathinaikos, although being able to enter the quarterfinals has proved that they have excellent strength, but it is also related to their inclusion in a relatively weak group, if they are in Group B where Atletico Madrid is or Group D where Juventus is located, I am afraid that they would have been swallowed to the bone.

So many people believe that Atletico Madrid's luck is indeed very good, which is also UEFA's reward for Atletico Madrid's score in such a cruel group, Liverpool's opponent is not bad, although Leverkusen has become the first in Group D, but in the eyes of many, they are still a little lacking in heritage after all.

"Lack of substance? Luckily we won't run into Bayer Leverkusen. Dick thought in his heart that this season's Leverkusen winning the Sanya King was completely a matter of luck and inexperience, you must know that the current Leverkusen is the strongest, with an excellent lineup, and a Ballack who is in good shape...... No matter who touches them, they have to send a few dizzies, although they lost to Real Madrid in the final, but you must know that before that they had lost two championships in a row, morale was low, even then they equalized the score and finally died on Zidane's kick flying in the sky, if they meet Bayer Leverkusen now, it will be called unlucky.

Two quarter-final games will be played in April, with Atletico having two league games to play – at home to Villarreal and away to Barcelona – with eight league games remaining, and they have a 13-point advantage that will allow them to play the next fixtures.

"We've got to win this next game! Then we will be able to send a substitute against Barcelona. Now we have a big advantage in the league, but we can't have too many mistakes, we win one more game, we are one step closer to the league championship! At this time, whether it is the league or the Champions Cup, we cannot give up! Do you understand? ”

Dick announced the next strategy immediately after returning to Madrid, Villarreal is still relatively easy to deal with, because they don't have too many outstanding players, although Atletico Madrid was overdrawn in the last game, but at their home stadium, as long as they prepare better, there will not be much problem in winning the game, after all, there are only eight rounds left in the league, even if Atletico Madrid loses half of the remaining games, it can still win the league championship!

Atletico Madrid is now four league games away from the league title, but the next Champions League knockout stage is quite intensive, and now it can be said that it is the last easier time after the start of the knockout round.

If Atletico Madrid goes further in the knockout round, then it is inevitable to consciously give up a few league games in the future, but it is not possible to give up like Leverkusen and even lose the league championship that is almost in hand - this is too cheating, if it were not for knowing that Leverkusen won the Sanya King this season, Dick may not be so vigilant, but with such an extreme example in front of him, Dick will naturally not be carried away by the leading points advantage.

Three days later, Dick did not make any rotations, but basically sent all the main players to face Villarreal, although the form of the players has dropped a little, but relying on the strong strength, Atletico still beat the Yellow Submarine 3-2 at home, continue to lead the top of the table with a 13-point advantage, and they are now three wins away from defending the league title.

After a week's rest, Dick flew to Barcelona with the whole team, although he brought all the main forces, but in the game he sent all the substitutes, only Stam and Gamara partnered in the center, Marchena played the back, Cruise and Torres formed a forward partner, relying on such a lineup and Torres's goal, Atletico Madrid drew Barcelona 1-1 away, although the lead in the standings is only eleven points, but in the league only six rounds left, One of their hands has already touched the championship trophy!

'Now, it's time for us to start attacking the Champions Cup.' Dick said in his post-match press conference.
