Wen Zhihao's statement to reporters is actually similar to the mentality of the whole team, everyone has not been affected much, everything is as usual on the way back to Madrid, Carrasco and Cork like to listen to music with headphones, Thomas is still idle, always looking for someone to chat, Wen Zhihao is often the person who can respond to him the most.

The atmosphere is relaxed and harmonious, and everyone here is not a fledgling, regardless of the gains and losses of a game, a city and a pool. Looking at the world, which giant can fight on multiple fronts all season without losing? As long as the end result is measurable.

In fact, when Wen Zhihao faced the difficulties of the reporters of the Villarreal home team, there was another sentence he didn't say: as long as he can win the championship in the end, what can he do if he loses a game!

Of course, these words were too pretending, Wen Zhihao still swallowed back, and if he said it, he would definitely be attacked by a group. It's not good for the team either. At the stage of fighting for the championship, it is better to keep a low profile, which is conducive to mental adjustment, although his inner belief in the championship has never wavered. But you can't roast the whole team on the fire because of your own whim! We can't do anything about pit teammates and pit coaches!

Atletico Madrid will face two strong opponents in the league in the next half month. After the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid will take on Sevilla away. Five-time Europa League champion, the first team to win three consecutive Champions League in the history of the Europa League from 2013 to 2016, and the former "Europa League champion professional", this season's Champions League also reached the round of 16, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Entering March, the first league game was a watershed moment in the title race, visiting the Camp Nou to challenge the in-form Barcelona. For Atletico Madrid, who are six points behind, there is really no way back, and a draw will not work. Only a win can narrow the difference.

After looking at the next fixtures, it is clear how much Atletico Madrid's big away win in Basel has been useful. Simeone could boldly rotate most of the core players and send some substitutes to rush first.

It's rare to have such an opportunity, and it's a Champions League knockout game at the highest level, and the substitutes often know how to cherish it more than the main players at this time.

The substitutes are inexperienced, they can't play for a long time, and their form is difficult to guarantee, so there will be no surprises?

Simeone's formation is never untargeted. With the old leading the new, the semi-main lineup, even if there is no sharpest trident, the advantage of controlling the scene is still obvious. With a three-goal lead, there's plenty of room for manoeuvre.

Moreover, Simeone believes that the opponent has already been convinced in the first leg, and Basel will not choose to fight for the slim possibility of a comeback away from home.

Indeed, it is. Simeone guessed right.

With an average age of just 24.5 years, Basel is a very young team. But Basel came to Madrid even younger. The substitutes in their early twenties and the youth team players in the Champions League B list are dominant, and none of the main players have come, and they all stay in the league to compete for the title. The other side is more routine than Atletico.

There was no suspense before the game, Wen Zhihao, Griezmann and Costa were all suspended, and Atletico Madrid still won the opponent easily and happily. With a 4:1 victory, Basel's goal was still a penalty, more like a friendly gift from Atletico Madrid.

The Madrid media did not pay much attention to this match, they paid more attention to the strong dialogue between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain away. From a neutral point of view, it would be a pity for the two Champions League champion-level teams to go out early. Paris Saint-Germain took away an away goal from the Bernabeu in the first leg, which inevitably made the Madrid media sweat.

However, UEFA's fixture schedule is a little odd, with the two Madrid teams playing a week apart. Atletico's top half of the competition has ended, with Juventus, Liverpool and Manchester City reaching the quarter-finals. With Tottenham eliminated, the direct dialogue between Wen Zhihao and Son Heung-min that Chinese fans were looking forward to will have to wait until next season to have a chance to materialise.

On another level, this is good news. Son Heung-min's Champions League campaign this season has come to an end, while Wen Zhihao continues. If Atletico Madrid can really take a big step forward from the previous two seasons to the top, Wen Zhihao will directly surpass Son Heung-min to become the first brother in Asia without dispute, and even more awesome than Park Ji-sung winning the Champions League for Manchester United - Park Ji-sung could only be regarded as a functional player in Ferguson's system at that time, an important midfield engineer, and not a pivotal figure at all. But Wen Zhihao is the core! The core of the giant team is much more awesome than Park Ji-sung.

Domestic websites have begun to circulate PS pictures of Atletico Madrid's group photo of winning the championship, and Wen Zhihao is the well-deserved protagonist, wearing the captain's armband and holding the trophy high, and being surrounded by teammates shouting and celebrating......

This is the good wish of the fans, who have been suppressed by Japan and South Korea for so many years, and in the football circle, Chinese fans are too eager to be respected and need to raise their eyebrows.

In the round of 12 last year, the Chinese team beat South Korea to advance to the World Cup, indirectly ruining the South Korean team's ninth World Cup journey. The media and football big V said a lot of sneering words and ridiculed South Korea. But the South Koreans, who have always felt good about themselves, quickly found a point to fight back. The national team can't compete with the Chinese team with Lippi and Wen Zhihao, and it began to compete with the number of players in Europe!

In terms of numbers, China does not have an advantage, only Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin are active international players who are players in Europe, and only Wen Zhihao is the mainstream platform of the five major leagues. South Korea has a clear advantage. The Premier League has Son Heung-min, Ji Chengyong and Lee Qing-yong, and the Bundesliga has Ji Dong-won and Park Joo-ho. Not counting Shi Hyun-jun, Hwang Hee-chan, etc., who are in the second-rate league. The number of people is easy to get on the double.

Chinese fans are looking forward to silencing the Koreans after this season.

You have more quantity than us, but is the quality better than us, Wen Zhihao is the core of the Champions League winning team, can you do it?

Why don't you persuade Sun Xingmin to come to Atletico Madrid, be Wen Zhihao's younger brother, and let the boss take you to taste what it is like to be a champion?

……

There are a lot of similar speeches, although they are all jokes and jokes, but behind them are everyone's expectations.

Coincidentally, Wen Zhihao browsed domestic websites in the apartment at night after training, and happened to see the PS pictures and similar jokes that were in the hot spot, picked up his mobile phone, took a screenshot of the picture, and posted a Weibo with the picture.

The text is as concise as ever, but it can easily resonate with everyone's emotions.

Wen Zhihao wrote on his Weibo: Your expectations, my goals.

The release time of this Weibo is the early morning of the second day Beijing time, many office workers get up early to dress up, buy breakfast on the road, and take out their mobile phones on the bus and subway to brush Weibo.

Many people grabbed the sofa under the Weibo comment area, and then @Wen Zhihao, commented: "Sit back and wait for my family Zhihao's awesome profile: the first Champions League champion core, and the Chinese player who participated in the World Cup......"
