Chapter 539: San Siro and Meacha

The 26th round of the league is over, and a week later, Atletico Madrid will welcome the 27th round of La Liga.

Throughout the month of March, Atletico Madrid will play four more La Liga games before the Champions League quarter-finals.

In the twenty-seventh round, it faced Granada at home; In the 28th round, away to Mallorca, in the 29th round, at home to Athletic Bilbao, and in the 30th round, at home to Zaragoza.

In the 27th round, Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 5-0 at home, and Barcelona, who had just been slaughtered by Atletico Madrid's five goals, did not be depressed by this, and they immediately won 3-1 at home to Sporting Gijón.

The form of the standings remains unchanged, with Atletico Madrid having one game less and three points behind Real Madrid! Score the same as Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid also have a chance to go head-to-head with Real Madrid, so in the league battle, apart from this Madrid derby, the rest of the games are also very important.

On March 11, in the 27th round of the league, Atletico Madrid ushered in the match between the home stadium and Granada.

This game is the last game of Godin and Raul Garcia's suspension, although Gobo's suspension continues.

It was a tough game for Atletico Madrid.

There wasn't much pressure on their defensive line, and the problem was mainly in the offensive end.

Without Gao Bo sitting in the coach's seat, although the pre-game plan has been as detailed as possible, when it comes to the real game, the situation is always changing rapidly.

Playing away from Granada, they were completely passive, with their eleven players huddled in the box.

As soon as the game began, Granada made up their minds to defend to the end.

In the face of such a situation, Aguero's role cannot be played, and it is too difficult to complete the shot through his feet.

Diego Costa was substituted in the second half and Mario Suarez was also pushed into the box as a high point up front.

Atletico Madrid are starting to pursue a simpler way of attacking.

The ball from both sides also made Granada's defence a little strained, but Granada had good luck today, with Atletico Madrid having several dangerous shots saved by the goalkeeper.

The game looked like it was going to be going 0-0.

At this time, Gao Bo, who was sitting in the hotel watching live TV, missed Godin very much.

When it comes to heading ability, Godin is the strongest point in the Atletico Madrid team, and no one can compare to Godin in this point.

And Godin's heading ability is one of the best even when put into the world's central defender position!

When it was time to open up the situation with a high ball, pushing Godin to the front court was already a regular tactic for Gao Bo.

The Granada players are getting more and more excited, and the game is already in the 80th minute and it looks like they can come home with a draw on the road.

And at this time, it was Griezmann who gave them the fatal blow.

He cut inside from the right and slipped the ball at the feet of Diego Costa, and after a wall collision, Griezmann met Costa's pass and fired a shot!

The soccer ball bypassed the defender and flew into the net!

Atletico Madrid took the lead in the 80th minute, with Granada defending most of the half, and it all came to naught......

With this goal, Atletico Madrid also won at home and won a victory!

........

After a hard-fought victory, Atletico Madrid played well in the next few games.

Atletico Madrid took on Mallorca away on March 18, a game in which all suspended players returned, and thanks to Sergio Aguero's brace, the team won easily 2-0 on the road.

Then returned to his home stadium, on March 21, in the 29th round of the league, Gao Bo, who appeared in the team's coach's box again, was warmly cheered by the fans at home, and Atletico Madrid defeated the visiting Athletic Bilbao 3-0.

Then, in the thirtieth round, on March 24, Atletico Madrid took on Zaragoza away.

Since the team will face AC Milan away in three days, Gao Bo has made a large rotation in this game.

Atletico Madrid, who rotated their squad, did not give Zaragoza any chance, winning 3-1 on the road, and Atletico Madrid have won four consecutive games in March, starting with Sevilla.

After this match, the whole team of Atletico Madrid went to Milan in Italy, the capital of fashion and football.

.....

At the end of March, the quarter-finals of the Champions League were in full swing.

The match between Atletico Madrid and AC Milan is a key conversation in the quarter-finals, and it is a close matchup.

The other three matches are Atletico Greece against Real Madrid, Benfica against Barcelona and Marseille against Bayern Munich. The strength of these three matches is obvious, so it is clear that they have received less attention than Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.

A head-to-head duel between the reigning champions of La Liga and the reigning champions of Serie A. And in the league standings, these two teams are also part of the championship group, and both sides are attacking their respective league titles.

AC Milan are undoubtedly the old supergiants, they have won a total of seven trophies in their history, second only to Real Madrid! And the current AC Milan squad is also quite strong.

On the front line, AC Milan has superstars like Ibrahimovic and Brazilian stars like Robinho and Pato, and Inzaghi is still sitting on the bench and ready to be unsheathed!

In the midfield, Seedorf, Ambrosini, Nocerino, Boateng and others are also very strong, and Nesta, who sits in the back, is old and strong!

In the face of such an opponent, it is impossible to be too cautious.

The venue of the match was, of course, at the San Siro, the home of AC Milan.

But when it comes to this stadium, Inter Milan fans may not be willing to call it that name, they prefer to call this stadium Meazza!

For a long time, the stadium had only one name, "San Siro". It was not until March 1980 that the city of Milan officially named the stadium "Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in honor of Meazza, a famous figure in Italian football who died the previous year and played for both Milan teams (and Juventus, in fact).

Therefore, the stadium has two names, and the two giants who share the stadium have each chosen a name for the stadium in order to reflect their respective hostilities.

The hostility between the two sides is also reflected in the name.

As a stadium shared by rivals in the city, it is famous because both teams are giants, so it has two names - San Siro and Meazza.

The San Siro is what AC Milan fans call their own team's home stadium, Milan fans will never call this stadium "Meazza", and Inter Milan fans will never allow others to call this stadium "San Siro" in front of them.

The antagonism between the fans of both teams has made this stadium a special story.
