Chapter 933: Doing Things
But Atletico Madrid obviously won't give Leverkusen a chance, after 2:0, Atletico still did not stop the pace of scoring, before the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid relied on a counterattack to rewrite the score to 3:0, and this score also completely crushed Leverkusen's nerves.
Even if Bayer Leverkusen brought a goal back in the second half, it still couldn't change the general trend on the pitch, because shortly after Leverkusen's goal, Atletico Madrid changed the score again, and the score difference was once again widened by three goals.
And the last goal was scored by substitute Torres, this score was also the last score of the game, with Lin Dong's brace again, Mandzukic's icing on the cake, Torres's final goal, the score was fixed at 4:1, the big score was 6:1.
The defeat allowed Bayer Leverkusen to continue their winless run against La Liga sides, who had not beaten Spain in the knockout rounds for more than two decades since the 1988 UEFA Cup.
This is also the second year in a row that Atletico Madrid has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, of course, Atletico's journey is far from over, as the defending champions, Atletico Madrid's goal is to become the first team to defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League.
"We lost to one person, and if Bayer Leverkusen also has this person, then I believe we will definitely qualify in the end," Schmidt said in a rather unconvinced and sour tone after the game.
"Lin is a member of the team, and naturally part of the team," Simeone replied to Schmidt's remarks.
After the victory over Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid are one step closer to defending their title, which makes Simeone feel good, and as for Lin Dong's performance, it is obvious to all.
But today, the media seems to be deliberately trying to do things, and in the following time, the media topics almost all revolve around Lin Dong, and even attribute all the credit for Atletico Madrid's victory to Lin Dong.
Doing something? At this moment, almost everyone had such an idea, not only on the manager's side, but also on the players' side.
"What's going on?" Simone left the meeting with an ugly face, turned to the assistant and asked.
"It seems that the same is true on the player's side?" Boggs said worriedly.
Not to mention Burgess, even Lin Dong himself felt a little embarrassed, because after Lin Dong got on the bus, he found Lin Dong in front of Gabi.
In the report the next day, almost all the media praised Lin Dong, although this was a common thing in the past, but this time it was more consistent than the exaggeration of those feelings before.
"Damn it~~~" In the head coach's office, Simeone scolded without any image.
"What's going on?" It's still Boggs who speaks, but the entire coaching staff is worried at the moment.
"What else can it be, this conspiracy, a conspiracy to sow harmony in the team" No, this should be a conspiracy, because this is a fact, Lin Dong did perform very well, and the hero of Atletico Madrid's victory was also Lin Dong, but now the media has focused on this and ignored others.
"What do you mean?" All eyes are on Simeone, who is the backbone of the coaching staff, despite the fact that many of the members of the coaching staff are older than Simeone.
"The big guys are scared, they're scared of us going on, they're scared of us defending our title," Simeone said.
However, when Simone said this, his own anger could not be contained, and this anger was not only because of conspiracy, but also because of his own anger, because of his own anger.
It is undeniable that Lin Dong is important to the Atletico Madrid team, but Simeone has always felt that he is also the hero of Atletico Madrid's current results, but now, everyone is attributed to Lin Dong, which makes Simeone angry and angry.
Even if Simeone knew that this was a conspiracy of people with intentions to try to divide Atletico Madrid, Simeone also knew that he shouldn't have this kind of thought at this time, but Simeone just couldn't suppress it.
It's everyone who has ambitions, and the same is true of Simeone, who was not the brightest on the pitch when he was a player, but now as a manager, Simeone wants to be the brightest one, and he's been working hard for that.
When a person ends up finding that all his efforts have been ignored, it will be extremely difficult for him to remain calm and normal.
Perhaps, Simeone himself did not realize that because of this incident, his mentality slowly began to change, even if he immediately noticed that something was wrong and prevented himself from taking off the player.
The same is true for the players, they are also aware of the importance of Lin Dong to Atletico Madrid, and they can also accept the particularity of Lin Dong's status, but with the operation of people with a heart, Lin Dong has obviously become the only one, as if Atletico Madrid has nothing else but Lin Dong, and the efforts of these players have been wiped out.
In the training on the second day, Lin Dong also found that his teammates looked at him a little strangely, but Lin Dong didn't take it too seriously, and it wasn't until Simeone picked out the matter that Lin Dong realized the importance of the situation.
"Guys~~~ Maybe you've all seen these reports, I want to say that this is all shit, this is a conspiracy of some "people", because we have good grades, because we have a good chance of defending the title, we are blocking the way of some people" In fact, not only Simeone, but the management is also a group of shrewd guys.
"Guys? Any one of you is an important member of the team, Atletico's current results are the result of your hard work, Lin is of course very good, but Zaisel also needs the help of his teammates," Mr. President celebrated coming to the training ground.
"So I'm so important, I don't even know?" Facing everyone's eyes, Lin Dong said with a confused face.
"Hey~~~Lin~~~ Put away your hypocritical performance, don't think I don't know, you must not be so happy in your heart now" As a good friend of Lin Dong, Cork immediately said "debunked".
"What do you know Jorge? I'm not hypocritical, I'm modest, this is our traditional Chinese virtue" Lin Dong looked like you don't understand.
"I said it should be sullen" The word sullen was learned from Lin Dong, but now it is also very appropriate to use it on Lin Dong.
Because of the intervention of Simeone and the management, coupled with the gags of Lin Dong and his teammates, time finally calmed down, of course, whether this is a superficial or real subsidence may only be verified by time.
When the Atletico players continued to train, Simeone was called away by the president of Atletico, and the first words of the president of Atletico Madrid were "Maybe we can't stay with Lin for too long." ”
Compared to Simeone, the head coach, the president of Atletico Madrid obviously knows more, and even Cerezo clearly knows that this is someone who is playing with Atletico Madrid.
