The day after the game, Simeone learned from the team medical team about the situation of the team's injured and sick players, and he was not very optimistic.

Two key players in the front and back, Wen Zhihao and Godin, are not fit to play in the league next week. Wen Zhihao needed to rest from an eye injury, while Godin suffered a resurgence of his knee injury due to the accumulation of fatigue from consecutive high-intensity races. It is advisable for both of them to rest for at least a week.

Wen Zhihao's absence Simeone was mentally prepared, but Godin's injury made Simeone a little worried. Without Wen Zhihao, Griezmann can be given more responsibility, but Godin's role at the back is irreplaceable.

But there are two sides to everything. After the next round of the league, the half-month international break will begin. Simeone could have a legitimate reason to turn down the call-up to their respective national teams and keep some of the injured players at the club, after all, the next opponent after the international break is the direct rivals Barcelona, and the main players can have more time to rest and adjust, which is naturally good news for the club.

However, the head coach of the national team where these injured players are probably going to scratch his ears and cheeks in annoyance......

Atletico's next game is away to Leganes. The two teams are in the same Madrid zone, the road is close, and there is an objective gap in strength, Atletico Madrid should win without suspense and continue to maintain a good catch-up momentum against Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Away at the Buttak Stadium, Simeone wants to take all three points, there is no doubt about that. However, he changed the regular formation of 4-4-2 to 3-5-2, which was incomprehensible to many.

Even without Wen Zhihao, with Atletico Madrid's hard power, do you still need to rely on such a strong offensive strategy if you want to score?

The Chinese media is very imaginative, and they do not change their faces and do not beat their hearts to proclaim that Atletico Madrid is suffering from "Wen Zhihao dependence", and without Wen Zhihao, Simeone himself has no confidence to rely on conventional play to score goals......

The Chinese fans themselves blushed, as if Atletico Madrid were relegated from La Liga before Wen Zhihao joined.

Of course, there must be media asking Simeone why he suddenly changed the formation, Simeone's explanation is that the team's players who can play full-back have been in a fierce battle in the Champions League, and their physical condition is temporarily unable to adapt to the requirements of the game.

Obviously, the Chinese media of that part of YY will not reprint Simone's true meaning, and it is also a pleasure to live in their own world......

But no one expected that Atletico Madrid had an absolute advantage on the road, with 17 shots on goal in the whole game, 13 more than the opponent, but they couldn't help the opponent's iron bucket formation. Without Wen Zhihao, Griezmann also seemed to lack the luck of scoring, with two shots hitting the neutral post in the first half, and a goalmouth chance at the end of the second half was intercepted by a defender flying in front of the goal. In the end, I can only accept the embarrassing result of a 0:0 exchange of blank papers.

Garcia put this embarrassment on the table with a joke in the game: "Atletico Madrid will be blocked by the iron bucket formation, this is really a joke, you must know that Atletico Madrid relies on defense to eat, in terms of the ability to swing the iron bucket, Simeone can be a teacher for the opposite Garitano." Real Madrid fans have found new fodder to strike at Atletico. ”

And He Wei's words are more vivid and to the point: "This is like a martial arts master who relies on one move to fight all over the rivers and lakes in the face of an opponent who uses the same tricks, but he doesn't know how to crack it." ”

Sounds ridiculous, right?

But based on Atletico's performance tonight, that's the best explanation!

Wen Zhihao did not go to the scene, he watched the game on television, and once again he realized what it is to be in a hurry as a spectator and not be able to help. In the end, he himself suspected that he had watched a fake Atletico Madrid, and according to the performance of the Champions League, it should not have been such a result.

Is there such a big difference between being there or not?

Wen Zhihao didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

……

The tournament ends with the regular international break in October. The internationals of each club have returned to their respective national teams to prepare for the tournament.

The qualifying stages for the 2018 World Cup in Russia are different for each continent. The European group stage started late, there were many rounds, and there were still two rounds left in October, and the fate of the heroes in the next half month was determined. The situation is similar in Africa, with two rounds left in the final group stage, but only one round of matches will be played this month, and the final conclusion will be completed next month, and the African teams will have a little longer to live, except of course for those who have already been confirmed to be eliminated early.

The South American qualifiers are a double round-robin points system, and there are also two rounds left, whether Argentina, the king of plum balls, can grasp the last straw is the biggest attraction in South America, and Messi fans all over the world are shouting wildly.

The same is true for the CONCACAF qualifiers, with Panama and Honduras most likely to finish fourth and compete in the intercontinental play-offs against Asia.

The Oceania qualifiers are the least suspenseful, and it is basically certain that New Zealand will become the representative of Oceania and participate in the play-offs.

Since the Chinese team directly qualified for the World Cup, the play-offs in the Asian region originally had nothing to do with Chinese fans, but Chinese fans paid a lot of attention to the play-offs. The two Asian powerhouses, South Korea and Australia, will fight for the last half of the World Cup ticket, and one of them will inevitably fall, and Chinese fans will get a great sense of satisfaction in their hearts.

While eating snacks, I watched the fire from the other side to watch the performance of the two old enemies, and kept shouting in my heart "The stick is dead" and "The kangaroo is dead". This feeling is the first time for Chinese fans. Especially when the Chinese team is shortlisted in advance, there is an infinite sense of superiority in my heart, no matter who wins or loses, it will not affect the Chinese fans to have fun.

If I had to take sides, there would be a little more supporters of Australia. Although China and South Korea are both East Asian teams, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but the South Korean team has overcome us for more than 30 years, and the two countries have a deep grudge in the field of football, and the "performance" of the South Korean team in the 2002 World Cup has deepened this disgust. Relatively speaking, Australia and we have no big enmity, although the Chinese team also loses more and wins less, but the difference in strength at the competitive level, everyone understands that one yard is one yard.

Bookmakers are also offering odds that are more favourable to Australia. The odds of beating South Korea home and away are 1:5.70, and the probability of one win and one draw is as low as 1:2.

The bookmakers' opening odds are in line with public opinion, and there are several teams in Europe who want the Kangaroos to play the stick, such as Portugal, Spain and Italy......

Australia's hopes are indeed great. Entering 2017, South Korea have won only two games in total, and Austrian Stillik has not improved since his dismissal.

This time, even the Koreans, who have always been self-righteous, have little confidence in their national team, and some fans said: "Since losing to China, I have been dead set on the national team, and I can't even win against China, what else can I do?" ”

It was originally a comment on a domestic portal in South Korea, but after it was reprinted to China by Sina.com, netizens immediately grasped the key point.

"If this sentence is lit, even China can't win, what else can you do? Ha ha! Our country is innocently lying on the gun. ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, the stick is really running out. National Football V587! ”

"This is probably the best lying gun that makes me feel the best this year, and it's just comfortable to listen to."

Some netizens weirdly drew "China can't even win" in a red circle, and then commented with a picture: The key points have been marked, this sentence needs to be tested......
