Chapter 505 Manchester City in the last battle

The second round of the Champions League group stage is over.

The current situation in Group A is very favourable for Atletico Madrid, who are top of the group with six points after two consecutive wins, while Bayern Munich are second in the group with three points, and Napoli and Manchester City are tied on one point, third and fourth respectively.

'It's too early to talk about qualifying, there are four games left in the group stage, and for any team, there are still twelve points to fight for.

After the game, Gao Bo didn't seem too happy.

The continuous away games have made the players of Atletico Madrid also in a period of physical exhaustion, especially in the last two games, they have encountered strong opponents in a row, and they are still away games, and the journey is more physically demanding.

Fortunately, in these two difficult games, Atletico Madrid finally gnawed down.

.....

On the fourth day after returning from Italy, Atletico Madrid had a home game.

In the seventh round of the league, Atletico Madrid faced Sevilla at home.

In this game, although Gao Bo made a rotation, the performance of the players on the court was not satisfactory.

Sevilla's defence is very tenacious, while Atletico Madrid's attack seems to have lost its sharpness.

At their home turf, Atletico Madrid endured a dull draw.

It was Atletico Madrid's first draw of the season, a little earlier than last season.

After the match, Gao Bo shook his head.

A long season, the Champions League and the league, and the Copa del Rey in the future. Now the impact of the intensive schedule is already starting to be felt.

Fortunately, after this game, it was immediately ushered in a month and a half of national team breaks.

Most of the members of the first team were drawn at once, and the main players of the first team of Atletico Madrid are almost all international players of various national teams, and during the national team match day, Atletico Madrid's training can only be based on basic training, and in terms of tactical training, because most of the players of the first team are drawn, it is difficult for Atletico Madrid to do complex tactical training for the time being.

During the two consecutive weeks of national team matches, Gao Bo paid close attention.

He was mainly worried about the injuries of his players, who returned from various national teams on October 13.

The medical department immediately carried out a fresh examination of the players to ensure that they did not leave any injuries in the national team game.

Fortunately, on this national team match day, Atletico Madrid did not have any injured players for the time being.

And on October 16, in the eighth round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Granada away.

At the Carmenez Stadium, a small stadium that can only accommodate more than 20,000 people, Atletico Madrid ushered in a big victory!

In the ninth minute of the game, Reyes, who returned to the starting line-up, provided an assist when he crossed from the wing, and Diego Costa, who had the chance to start the game, changed the direction of the ball a little bit in front of the goalkeeper, and the ball rolled into the goal from the goalkeeper's feet!

Atletico Madrid got off to a dream start.

After that, Atletico Madrid was in complete control. In the twentieth minute, Griezmann's in-cut shot extended the lead.

By the second half, Atletico Madrid's goals had not stopped.

In the 60th minute, Diego Costa scored twice and scored from inside the penalty area to make it 3-0.

Soon after, central defender Lucio took advantage of a corner kick opportunity and scored a header, and the score became 4-0!

In the end, Atletico Madrid won 5-0 away from home, and substitute Koke put the icing on the cake and scored a long-range goal!

After the international break, Atletico Madrid declared their continued strong run in the league with a big win.

However, compared to Real Madrid's seven-game winning streak since the beginning of the league, Atletico Madrid is slightly inferior, and Mourinho's team is unstoppable!

In this season's La Liga, the competition of three super teams has made the competition for the league championship enter a white-hot stage early.

Barcelona also won, and the current standings are Real Madrid with 21 points from seven consecutive wins, Atletico Madrid with 19 points from six wins and one draw in second place, and Barcelona with 18 points with six wins and one loss in third place.

This is the first group in La Liga, and behind them is Valencia, who have 14 points, and the gap between Valencia and the top three is very obvious.

.....

With the domestic league game over, Atletico Madrid are on the move and they are heading for England immediately.

On October 21, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid challenged Manchester City away!

Manchester City's summer transfer window this season has once again been on a rampage of reinforcements, with a transfer fee of more than 100 million in a transfer window, which makes other teams staggering in a league with deep pockets like the Premier League.

And this season, Manchester City have been very strong in the Premier League, they have won seven and drawn one of their first eight league games in the Premier League! However, in the Champions League, Manchester City's performance disappointed their fans a little.

They were lucky to draw with Napoli at home in the first round, lost to Bayern Munich away in the second round, and this time they host group winners Atletico Madrid, and the media in England are still very pessimistic about Manchester City's prospects.

Commenting on the game's preview, Sky Sports said: "In the first two Champions League games, one draw and one defeat, Manchester City only got one point after two rounds, which is ironic compared to their luxurious formation. After 43 years, the Champions League has been set foot again, and in 43 years, world football has completely changed. Manchester City's mercenaries can wreak havoc in the league, but when they face really tough opponents in the Champions League, the team lacks the willpower to stand together against tough opponents and they fall apart, especially when they play Bayern Munich away. If Manchester City want to get rid of the name of "mercenaries", they will have to show something in this game. Atletico Madrid, this is probably a stronger opponent than Bayern Munich. ”

Sky Sports is quite polite, and some other English tabloids simply ridicule Manchester City as an "upstart"!

Unlike the teams that are now kneeling down to the blessings of oil capital, now in the eyes of conservative Britons, not to mention that a team like Manchester City is controlled by oil capital, even Manchester United was acquired by American capital, which also caused an uproar, not to mention, Manchester City's performance in the transfer market after being acquired.... It is indeed very much in line with the image of the nouveau riche.

In this game, except for some of the media who support Manchester City, other English media generally believe that Manchester City's game may be more auspicious. In addition to the strength of Atletico Madrid, their head coach Gao Bo also knows English football quite well - Gao Bo became famous from the English field.

And once Manchester City loses to Atletico Madrid at home, the luxury division created with hundreds of millions of pounds will not qualify for the Champions League group, I am afraid it will become an international joke.

"We will win!! We will prove to the outside world that Manchester City are united and fighting! Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany clearly disagrees with the English media's statement!

"Gao Bo knows a lot about English football? On both sides, there are a lot of changes here, and the current Premier League is not the Premier League of two years ago. Gao Bo led Luton to victory over Manchester City back then, but Manchester City at that time was not the Manchester City it is now! ”

"We're going to win at home! Getting out of the group is just our minimum goal!! Dawei Silva said.

'It's a tough game and it's a real test for the team!' Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini said as he faced the camera.

Manchester City is expressing their determination for this game!

For Manchester City, in the third round of the group stage, they will fight with their backs!
