876 All the hard work is in vain

Simeone made changes to his tactics for the second half at half-time.

He abandoned the idea of defending and counter-attacking in favor of his team to play the initiative at home.

There is a statistic that is very unfavorable to Atletico Madrid, in the restructured Champions League knockout round, none of the teams that lost 0-2 at home in the first leg can turn the tables away!

For Atletico Madrid, what they need to do now is to score goals and reduce the gap as much as possible!

After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid made a substitution.

Villa, a veteran Spanish striker who joined Atletico Madrid this season, replaced Raul Garcia!

This substitution means a change in Simeone's tactics!

They're going to press the attack!

Gao Bo saw this substitution and knew it very clearly.

Simeone put Diego Costa and Villa up front in a double centre-forward.

On either side are Saul and Mane.

Both players have good pace and ability to break through, and Atletico Madrid are looking to create chances by attacking from the wings.

However, Gao Bo is not worried about Atletico Madrid's wide attack.

Because of the centre-back combination of Kompany and Umtiti.

One old and one young, the partners are still very tacit.

City's two full-backs were not slow either, and they were not afraid of Sadio Mane and Saul on the flanks.

After seeing Simeone's adjustment, Gao Bo was unmoved.

Giving up on the defensive counter-attack, Simeone probably won't make his team any tougher.

Simeone pressed Po on the offense, hoping that his team's offense would pick up.

However, even luck was not on his side.

Because just five minutes into the second half, Sadio Mane was injured.

The team doctor's initial examination was a muscle strain, which obviously could not be continued on the field.

On the sidelines, Simeone's anger was palpable to all.

The Argentine coach slammed the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground.

For the first time, Simeone felt a sense of powerlessness in this match!

I can't even vent this feeling of powerlessness.

He was a little resentful.

Because he doesn't know what to do now.

Sadio Mane is one of Atletico Madrid's most important attackers, and when he is injured, Atletico Madrid's desire to strengthen the attack is like water without a source, which is simply impossible.

"Atletico Madrid's luck, they made a substitution in the second half, but Sadio Mane was injured, this important attacking attacker of Atletico Madrid, it is obvious that Simeone relied on in the second half, however"

The Spanish narrator shook his head.

In this game, Atletico Madrid cannot be compared with Manchester City in any way.

Both teams are the top teams in their respective leagues, however, purely from this game, Atletico Madrid is obviously completely at a disadvantage, and the difference between the strength of the two teams is very obvious.

"Gao Bo has undoubtedly built an invincible division in the Premier League, I wonder who his team can beat them?"

Said the Spanish commentator.

Gao Bo walked to Mane, who was receiving treatment on the sidelines.

He comforted his veteran a little and returned to the dugout.

Simeone, on the other hand, was forced to make his second substitution of the game.

He had to replace the injured Mane with Thiago and then move Kokra to the wing.

As a result, Atletico Madrid's ability to attack on the wing has dropped a lot.

Because Koke is not the kind of winger who attacks with the ball, he is a midfielder, so Simeone's tactical arrangement at halftime died because of Mane's injury.

Despite this, Atletico Madrid launched a fierce attack at home!

They pressed very high.

In the seventy-second minute of the game, Atletico Madrid finally got their best chance of the game through a patient attacking organization.

Koke crossed the ball into the box and into the feet of veteran Villa.

Villa made a slight adjustment and pushed the far end, goalkeeper Oblak had nothing to do with the goal, however, the ball went off the post!

Atletico Madrid misses out on the best chance to score!

Wasted opportunities will naturally be punished.

Two minutes later!

Kaka pulled out his foot on the line of the penalty area, the ball bounced off the crossbar, and Griezmann, who just stepped into the box, pushed the ball into the goal!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!”

The commentator is chanting for Griezmann's goal!

Griezmann!! Three-to-0!! Manchester City took a 3-0 lead at Atletico Madrid!! ”

"This is the biggest defeat at home for Atletico Madrid this season, and even Atletico Madrid seems helpless against a team like Manchester City!"

The commentators on the commentary table said one after another.

There was silence in the stands.

After the goal, Griezmann also raised his hands and refused to celebrate.

After all, he's been playing in this stadium for two years, and he still has feelings for it.

At Calderón, Griezmann has also gone from being a fledgling star to a real superstar!

"I believe that the fans of Atletico Madrid must be very complicated now, the superstar who came out of Calderón came out of Calderón and attacked the goal of Atletico Madrid in the stadium of Calderón, such a scene, Mr. Cerezo, the president of Atletico Madrid, must not want to see"

On the commentary seat, the Spanish commentator shook his head and said.

One of the very important reasons why Gao Bo left Atletico Madrid that year was that in Griezmann's transfer, Cerezo did not communicate with the head coach Gao Bo at all, and decided to sell Griezmann to Manchester City at a sky-high price.

At this time, there was a sparse applause in the stands.

Atletico Madrid fans also love this player who has only been with the team for two seasons, but has made great contributions to the team.

On the rostrum, Cerezo's face was very ugly.

The players he sold helped Gao Bo a lot.

Even if Griezmann's transfer fee is sky-high, Cerezo feels very unhappy.

Especially now, after Griezmann scored, he can still get applause from the fans of Atletico Madrid.

This made Cerezo even more unhappy!

And the next scene that happened was that Cerezo got up and left directly.

In the stands of Calderón, the fans sang a song of Antoine Griezmann and then a song in praise of Griezmann.

Such a scene, as if Gao Bo has been the head coach of Atletico Madrid.

Cerezo tried his best, but in the end he found that Gao Bo's status in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans was still much higher than that of him as the president
