Chapter 239: The Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate
After the first round of the Champions League group stage, only two of the four teams representing Spain have won:
Atletico Madrid beat Galatasaray 2-0 away; Real Madrid beat Shakhtar Donetsk 4-0 at home.
Barcelona was somewhat unexpectedly forced to draw 1-1 by Roma away from home, which was somewhat of a small upset.
After all, with everyone's perception of Barcelona, they should have no competition in this group. Whether it is Roma or Bayer Leverkusen, all they can fight for is second in the group.
In the first round of the group stage, Roma gave Barcelona a dismount.
Some media ridiculed Barcelona's performance as if they had not recovered from the defeat to Atletico Madrid.
The fourth team to represent Spain was Valencia, who did not perform as well as they could have been. In the first round of the group stage, the home team lost 2:3 to Zenit St. Petersburg.
Of course, these are still the first round of group games, and they do not represent the final result. It's not that a team that lost in the first round, or that a team that didn't win, won't be able to qualify from this group.
At least everyone still has confidence in Barcelona......

After the match against Galatasaray, the whole Atletico Madrid team flew back to Madrid, where they were waiting for the fourth round of the league against Eibar, who played away from home.
In this game, Simeone made a large rotation, and the main players, including Gao Zheng, sat on the bench.
Despite the heavy rotation, the whole Atletico Madrid team still looked tired and in poor form.
In addition, after the start of the season, Eibar's performance was not bad, with two wins and one draw, and he remained unbeaten.
So until 60 minutes passed, Atletico Madrid couldn't break through Eibar's goal.
That's when Simeone made a substitution.
He replaced striker Vietto with Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng, who is a good player, opened the scoring with his first touch of the ball just a minute after coming on - when he received an assist from Torres and stabbed the ball in front of the goal to shoot the ball into Eibar's goal.
"High! He broke the deadlock for Atletico Madrid! The scary moment is finally over! Gao reassured all Atletico Madrid fans! ”
Gao Zheng's contribution to the game is not only this goal, he also revitalized Atletico Madrid's attack.
Because he's on the pitch, the Atletico Madrid players know who to pass the ball to.
Gao Zheng is the attacking core of Atletico Madrid and their backbone.
When you don't know what to do, it's right to pass the ball to Gao Zheng.
Atletico Madrid's attack immediately picked up, changing the previous situation of not being able to score.
In the 77th minute, he provided another assist for Torres to score.
Atletico Madrid, who led by two goals, essentially sealed the win.
Sure enough, Eibar was unable to fight back at all, and the final score was fixed at 0:2, and Eibar won their first defeat of the season at home.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, continues to top the league with 12 points with this wave of four consecutive wins, two points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid and three points ahead of third-ranked Barcelona.

Dong Jin was very happy all day at school, grinning and smirking, which made people mistakenly think that he had found a girlfriend again......
But in Dong Jin's heart, how can his girlfriend's status be higher than that of Atletico Madrid?
To make him so happy, my girlfriend may not be able to do it, only the victory of Atletico Madrid can.
Atletico Madrid have not lost at the start of the season, and a wave of four consecutive wins is still the top of the league.
This is what makes Dong Jin happy.
After every competition, he collects newspapers everywhere to see how the media is touting Gao Zheng today, which has become a habit for him.
Every time he sees this kind of article, he is very happy.
But when he went to the football school today, he found out that there was even bigger good news waiting for him.
Before the start of training, the head coach called Dong Jin out alone, and then pointed to a stranger next to him and said, "This is Mr. Michelle, the youth coach of the athletic club." ”
After Dong Jin heard this, he didn't react yet: "Hello Mr. Michelle." ”
He first nodded to Michelle, and then looked at his coach: "Coach, what did you call me over?" ”
The head coach didn't expect Dong Jin to realize what it meant at all, so he coughed a little embarrassed, and then said to Dong Jin: "Congratulations, young man, you have been favored by the competitive club, and Coach Michelle wants to recruit you into the competitive echelon!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar among the young players behind Dong Jin.
Everyone didn't expect Dong Jin to realize their dream - to enter the Atletico Madrid club and become a real Atletico Madrid player, even if it is an echelon, it means that he will not be like them from now on, he will be a real registered Atletico Madrid player. If the journey is smooth, Dong Jin in the future can even appear in the list of the first team of Atletico Madrid!
This is the carp jumping over the dragon gate!
Everyone looked at Dong Jin's back with envious eyes.
And Dong Jin himself was still a little dazed, he looked at his coach in a daze, and Mr. Michel, the youth coach who claimed to be Atletico Madrid, and he didn't react yet.
Seeing him like this, Michelle couldn't help but smile and nodded to him: "Young man, do you want to play for Athletics?" ”
At this time, Dong Jin finally came back to his senses, and he nodded hurriedly: "I am willing!" I do!! ”
Seeing him so impatient, Michelle smiled: "But you can talk about this matter alone, I need you to go back and ask for your parents' consent, if they don't object, let's talk about specific things." ”
Dong Jin nodded again and again.
Next, Dong Jin was a little absent-minded in training, and he still had a sense of unreality, he really didn't expect that he could be favored by the youth training department of Atletico Madrid...... He is one step away from his dream of professional football!
The head coach saw Dong Jin's absent-mindedness, but he didn't criticize him. For such a young child, being able to enter Atletico Madrid is indeed a slight event in life, how many people can be calm and calm in the face of such a big event?
After the training, his teammates also came to congratulate Dong Jin.
Dong Jin has always been the most powerful person in their team, so for him to be selected into the Atletico Madrid echelon, some of his teammates are only envious, not jealous.
However, in the face of the congratulations and blessings of his teammates, the ecstasy on Dong Jin's face disappeared a lot.
This made the head coach look at it in his eyes and feel very relieved in his heart - the child is still young, so it is normal to be ecstatic when he encounters this kind of good news, but to be able to return to normal in such a quick time, he not only has some expectations for Dong Jin's prospects in the echelon of Atletico Madrid.
What the head coach didn't know was that the reason why Dong Jin was not so happy was not because he thought about it, but because Dong Jin had already remembered that his mother did not support him to take the road of professional football...... The club also asked him to discuss with his parents, but he was afraid that he would be rejected by his mother as soon as he opened his mouth, right?
