At the beginning of the new season of the five major leagues this year, the old giants that had been silent have raised their heads, and there are obvious signs of recovery. Manchester United have scored 12 goals after four games in the Premier League, winning three and drawing one to remain unbeaten. In Serie A, the most surprising is Inter. At the end of three rounds of Serie A, Inter Milan won three consecutive victories, beating Fiorentina 3:0, winning Roma 3:1 away and beating SPAL 2:0. Very golden. Serie A veteran Spalletti, who took over at the end of last season, gave the team a new look, and Inter Milan vaguely regained the spirit of the treble in 2009-10.

It is precisely with this performance as a basis that the media has refocused on the traditional Serie A giants, and if they continue to perform like this, they may be able to return to the Champions League next season.

Wen Zhihao also received an interview call from reporters on the day of the game, all of which were extremely curious domestic media, because Inter's tweet aroused their interest and they were eager to find some talk from Wen Zhihao.

Wen Zhihao asked rhetorically on the phone: "Lovers who have broken up, can they suspect that they are still disconnected because of a kind greeting from the other party?" Thanks to Inter for your best wishes, but I'm an Atletico player now. ”

The episode was at best a small tidbit, and by the time the game started, all eyes were back on the pitch.

Walking into the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Wen Zhihao heard the familiar Champions League theme song, and the whole person was immediately brought into the atmosphere of the Champions League. In the past, when he enjoyed the Champions League as a spectator, he only felt that the game was tense and exciting, but now he realizes what it is like to step on the Champions League as a player, and the atmosphere alone can activate every cell in the body, and the blood has begun to burn.

Of course, this is only for Wen Zhihao, and more people like him who are making their Champions League debuts can only experience the nervousness.

Wen Zhihao was still on the bench this game, and Simeone preferred to use him as a substitute in the final stages of the game, and when both sides were in a state of declining fitness, Wen Zhihao's appearance could bring an unexpected change of pace.

"Diego Simeone still believes in his lineage and I'm willing to bet Antoine Griezmann isn't as good as Wen. After sitting on the bench for two consecutive rounds in the league, no one can guarantee his performance, but Wen's performance is recognized. He did an excellent job other than scoring goals. But it's no wonder that he scored goals as a lucky thing. ”

Garcia, a commentator on Spanish national television, commented "impartially". If domestic fans hear this, they must be in a good mood. The absence of a Chinese player will make the TV commentary openly upset, which is a form of respect.

And this kind of respect, which has nothing to do with other factors off the field, is completely a reflection of strength.

In the first game away, Simeone fought hard in the midfield, and the strategy of defensive counterattack was implemented from the starting lineup. A regular 4-4-2 formation. The midfield quartet of Thomas, Gabi, Koke and Saul are all players who can move in the middle and have a strong interception ability. Up front, Antoine Griezmann partnered with Bietto. Simeone's first and foremost concern was to defend solidly. But Atletico's defence is also a way of pressing, as few teams can smoothly push the ball from the ground through midfield, and once the ball is broken, Atletico's swift counter-attack will directly hit the empty back.

Di Francisco's formation is still 4-3-3, and the midfield is not weaker than Atletico. Stroman, De Rossi and Nainggolan combine old and new with experience and dynamism. The battle between the two sides in midfield will determine the course of the game.

The home fans collectively sang the Roma anthem to show their support for the home team, but it was Atletico who took control of the game more quickly.

Only one minute and fifty seconds into the opening game, Saul forced overtaking on the left side and passed the ball to the penalty area line, Griezmann was just outflanking the penalty area, at this time there was no interference around him at all, teammates were involved with each other to cover very well, his left foot was extremely fast and flat, goalkeeper Alisson fell to the ground quickly, but his hand did not touch the ball, the ball slowly drew the left post, hit the side netting, from the far stand at first glance it looked like it had entered, and the fans were shocked into a cold sweat.

"Oh! Antoine Griezmann almost delivered Atletico a too good start to be great! His crosshairs need to be fine-tuned. Garcia said.

'It was a shot that showed that Griezmann was still some way from his normal form, so it's no wonder Simeone's starting XI was questioned.'

He Wei's words are much more straightforward and sharp. As a Chinese commentator, he will look at the problem from Wen Zhihao's perspective throughout the whole process. For Antoine Griezmann, a rival who is concerned with Wen Zhihao's playing time, the attitude is of course self-explanatory.

In fact, He Wei hoped in his heart that Griezmann could waste a few more opportunities like this, and when Simeone couldn't bear it at all, Wen Zhihao's opportunity would come.

The game turned out to be a surprise, with both sides switching positions on the pitch and Roma setting up an empty attacking formation, and they were largely on the defensive side for the first half hour. Atletico played aggressively and vigorously. The league was not going well, and the players were holding their breath and wanted to spill on the Champions League stage.

However, this is a pain for the home fans of Roma, they experience a heartbeat with almost every counterattack of Atletico Madrid, and there will be boos at the beginning of Atletico Madrid's counterattack, but this sound is becoming less and less as the game goes deeper, everyone's heart is in their throats, and there is no time to do anything to interfere with the opponent.

The home team is almost completely reduced to passive defense, after the ball is not passed three feet, Atletico Madrid quickly reversed back and counterattacked on the spot, the veteran De Rossi in the middle of the midfield was ruthlessly crushed **, even though he is experienced, but the thirty-four-year-old old arms and legs are obviously his burden, completely unable to keep up with the speed of his conscious reaction, in the face of Atletico Madrid's mad dog-style closing the door, he can only be reduced to the background board again and again.

It was a lively game, but the problems exposed by Atletico Madrid in the last game were still not solved. Griezmann seemed to be in touch with the side-netting tonight, with three good chances in the box all hitting the side-netting, and Saul also had two unguarded shots from outside the box, more simply than Griezmann, straight into the arms of goalkeeper Alisson.

The fans of the home team slowly began to see that Atletico Madrid's typical light thunder does not rain today, and simply held a kind of monkey mentality, after each failed attack of Atletico Madrid, the stands began to burst into applause, and simply began to cheer.

Wen Zhihao was more active on the bench than the players on the field, screaming, slapping his thigh in various ways to vent his emotions, especially Griezmann wasted three close opportunities in the penalty area, Wen Zhihao's performance was more exaggerated than Simeone. Those who don't know must have thought that he had made a big bet in this game.

"Kevin, do you want to make a bet?" Wen Zhihao asked Gameiro next to him.

"Bet on what?"

'At half-time the boss will replace Antony [Griezmann]."

Wen Zhihao rubbed his hands, very excited in his heart.

Gameiro rolled his eyes, he was not blind, he could see that Griezmann was not in good shape, wouldn't he lose if he made this kind of bet, and he would only agree if he had a hole in his brain!

The first half ended 0-0, and when they walked off the field, the faces of the players on both sides were not very good, and on the field, Roma lost to tactics, Atletico Madrid lost to luck, and both sides were losers.
