Chapter 86: Fate is in the hands of Atletico Madrid

After Atletico Madrid played the match against Córdoba, they ushered in the fourth round of the group stage. In this match, Atletico Madrid travels to Malmo.

Although they had just beaten them 5-0 at home, Simeone did not dare to take it lightly.

Because it was at this stadium that Olympiacos suffered and lost 2-0 to Malmo.

He doesn't want his team to be the second team to lose here.

Malmo proved to be resilient when they returned to home.

Atletico Madrid scored a goal in the 30th minute through Koke, but were never able to find the back of the net against Malmo.

A one-goal lead is not a guarantee and will give Malmo hope of a comeback.

So the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans have always been hanging.

It wasn't until the 78th minute that Gao Zheng finally helped Atletico Madrid seal the win.

His powerful shot caught the Malmo goalkeeper off guard and the ball slid against the turf and into the back of the net.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Malmo 2-0 away to complete their goal of taking all three points against the weakest team in the group.

In the other match in the same group at the same time, Juventus were locked in a tough battle at home.

Andrea Pirlo's goal in the opening 21 minutes gave them the lead. However, he was chased twice by Olympiacos in the ensuing round.

If it weren't for a mistake by Olympiacos' goalkeeper Roberto who scored an own goal, it's hard to say what the final result would be.

Later, thanks to Pogba's goal, Juventus beat Olympiacos 3-2 at home.

As can be seen from the performance of the Greek team in the game, perhaps Atletico Madrid's away loss to them is not an "upset......

Gianluigi Buffon was beaten by Gao Zheng, and his goalless goal was shattered, conceding four goals in the league and tasting his first defeat of the season.

If Juventus don't win this game, the situation of qualifying from this group could be very complicated.

Now that the four rounds of the group stage have ended, there are still two rounds left, and Atletico Madrid has nine points from three wins and one loss, ranking first in the group.

Olinyakos and Juventus are both two wins and two defeats, with six points. However, Olinyakos finished ahead of Juventus and finished second in the group. This is because in the case of two teams with the same score, it is necessary to compare the relationship between the winners and losers of each other, and both teams have one win and one loss in this regard, and there is a tie. Comparing the goal difference when playing against each other, the side with the most goal difference is ranked highly, but both teams score three goals and concede three, and the goal difference is both zero, or a tie. In this case, comparing the number of goals scored in each other's matches, the two teams are still tied. The next comparison is the number of away goals scored in each other's matches.

In this comparison, Olympiacos, who scored two away goals, finally overtook Juventus, who did not score away goals. Hence the second place.

Juventus, on the other hand, could only finish third in the group.

This is the result of Juventus winning this game, and if Juventus don't win, the consequences are really dire.

If they don't do it, they will repeat the mistakes of last season, and after the Champions League group stage, they can only go to the Europa League.

This was something that Juventus fans and the media that supported them did not expect at a time when Juventus had a majestic start to the league.

This is really a testament to the overall depravity of Serie A, where Juventus, who have been sideways in Serie A, have been taught to behave in the Champions League group stage for two seasons in a row.

Next, they will have to count on Atletico Madrid to beat Olympiacos at home and away to Malmo in the fifth round of the group stage. In this way, they can lead their opponents by three points in points.

In the final round of the group stage, they must ensure that they do not lose at home to Atletico Madrid, otherwise they may actually have to go to the Europa League - with the quality and form shown by Olympiacos, there should be no suspense for them to beat Malmo at home, and then they will have nine points.

If Juventus lose at home to Atletico Madrid, they will be level on points with Olinyakos, but they will have fewer away goals against each other and will only be in third place...... It's a real rollover.

In a sense, whether Juventus can continue to participate in the Champions League really depends on Atletico Madrid's face......

And Atletico Madrid has another Gao Zheng who seems to have a deep grudge against Juventus.

Counting on the noble hand?

Think about how they laughed at Gao Zheng at the beginning?

This really makes non-Juventus fans and Gao Zheng fans feel very happy when they think about it.

Although there is still a round of group stage in the middle and a month to wait, those who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement are already a little impatient.

After returning from Sweden with the team, Gao Zheng received a notice from his agent Viviano.

"On TV?"

"Well, a talk show on Cuatro. Now that the whole of Spain is full of interest in you, it is the perfect opportunity to promote your image. Viviano explained.

In fact, without Viviano's persuasion, Gao Zheng would have agreed.

He's not the kind of person who just knows how to play football and has social phobia.

He is not resistant to commercial activities, as long as it does not affect his normal training, he is OK at other times.

"Okay, no problem, you can do it." Gao Zheng doesn't care very much, anyway, his agent will get this kind of thing for him.

"If you agree, they want to be able to go to the Atletico Madrid training base and take some pictures of your training......"

"It's okay with me, right? Whether they agree or not is a matter for the club, and if they want to come in and shoot, they need a permit. Gao Zheng said.

"That being said, but if you don't want to show up, you can also decline their request to shoot......"

Gao Zheng smiled: "If I don't like to show my head, shouldn't I even refuse to interview them?" Okay, Andre, you can arrange it, I don't have a problem with anyone who needs my cooperation. ”

While the Atletico Madrid players gathered on the training ground to prepare for training, Simeone brought a film crew.

The crew consisted of two people, one was a videographer with a camera, and the other was a blonde beauty who was having a good time talking to Simeone as she walked, she had a beautiful face, and more importantly, her perfect hot body was set off by a tight T-shirt and jeans.

The sun was shining today, and the bright sunlight reflected on the beautiful woman's shawl blonde hair, and when she flicked her hair, the reflected light blinded the eyes of all the men present almost instantly.

Everyone just watched her and Simeone step onto the training ground together.

When Simeone noticed the eyes of his players, he coughed hard to make everyone's expressions a little more normal.

"To introduce, this is Miss Amanda from Cuatro TV, and she is here to shoot Gao Xun today." Simeone said.

Hearing the head coach say this, everyone was stunned at first, and then they all turned their eyes to Gao Zheng, and someone whistled and coaxed: "Why Gao?!" ”

"Wow, you are so enviable!"

"Can you help me get a phone number?"

……

In the commotion, Gao Zheng looked at the blonde beauty in surprise, he knew that the TV station was going to send someone to record his training video on the spot, but he didn't expect the reporter in charge of the interview to come in person, and it was such a ...... Belle.

Under his surprised gaze, the reporter Miss Amanda smiled and looked at Gao Zheng with interest.
