Chapter 214: Group First

Everyone is eagerly waiting to see which star from both teams can step up at the last minute to score the winning goal and become the team's killer. But the score was 0:0. Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo, who is pinned on most of the hopes of Real Madrid fans, or Griezmann, who is most anticipated by Atletico Madrid fans, they have not been able to excite fans. Wen Zhihao, who had a brilliant late performance, almost rewrote the score in the first minute of stoppage time when he stealthily flicked his header less than a centimeter wide of the left-hand post in front of goal. Nearly killed. Wen Zhihao missed a good opportunity to go crazy among Atletico fans.

The 0:0 draw invalidated the drafts prepared in advance by many media outlets. It was completely different from what they had expected before the game. It is not a goal battle with ups and downs, and it was originally designed to focus on the confrontation between Wen Zhihao and Asensio, two new stars in the same city. Asensio, who came on as a second-half substitute for Karim Benzema, was similarly lackluster. Perhaps the valuable breaking point is the open-hanging performance of the two goalkeepers.

But in the post-match report of the derby, with the goalkeeper as the protagonist, can the audience be interested?

Some media can only focus on off-the-field tidbits such as the war of words between the two sides on the field. "Marca" used the picture of Wen Zhihao angrily pushing Ramos at the beginning to make the headline photo of the next day, of course, to complain about Real Madrid. Of course, the evaluation of Wen Zhihao sounds a little harsh, and even questions Wen Zhihao's quality and quality. But it's just very subtle. And it was temporarily recalled and revised soon after it was sent out, for the simple reason that the problem of offending Wen Zhihao is not serious, but if it offends tens of millions of Chinese fans behind it, this is what neither the La Liga professional league nor the Spanish Football Federation want to see. Don't you see that the officials are revising the game time for Chinese fans? Even the national derby has been adjusted to the prime time of Beijing time, no matter how awesome the Marca newspaper is, after all, it is still a media, who let you offend the biggest potential customer?

The media, represented by another well-known Madrid newspaper, As, avoided such a sensitive issue, with post-match reports emphasizing the result: there was no winner.

And it's not just about the result of this game. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have been levelled by Barcelona and Valencia, who have beaten their opponents away from home to widen the gap by another game. The Madrid duo have been unable to overcome this season, and they have always gone wrong in the crucial catch-up stage.

If Atletico hadn't gone all the way through the Champions League this year, it wouldn't have been Simeone sitting in the dugout now.

……

In the fifth round of Group C of the Champions League, Simeone did not relax in order to compete for the first place in the group. The whole team just took a day off after the home game as usual, and prepared for the home game against Roma for top of the group.

Roma boss Di? Francisco was equally unrelenting before the game: "We came here to win, Roma never fall twice in front of the same opponent, even if it is difficult in a Metropolitano stadium. ”

“…… We'll prove that the first leg at home was just a fluke, and I admit that I didn't prepare for that capable young man, but not this time, I've studied him well. Yes, his name is en-qi-ho, right? He's a good player. ”

Advance? Francisco wanted to prove that he knew Wen Zhihao, but the embarrassing thing was that he didn't even pronounce Wen Zhihao's name, no matter how awkward he listened, the Chinese reporters interviewed on the scene were covering their mouths and snickering, which can be used as a pre-game tidbit to make Chinese fans happy.

Wen Zhihao's response was even more interesting: "I can pronounce it wrong, which means that I didn't impress him enough." But after this game, hopefully he won't make that mistake again. ”

The media got a lot of useful information from Wen Zhihao's answer. Atletico will not be conservative in securing the right to qualify, and the excitement of the game will be guaranteed.

Roma are at a disadvantage in the race for top of the group and could even be overtaken by Chelsea in theory. So Dee? Francisco took the initiative to raise the tempo as soon as he started, fully learned the lessons of the home defeat, and also learned from the just-concluded Madrid derby. Francisco can only pursue a more pragmatic pursuit of victory in the quick, and victory in chaos.

Advance? Francisco deliberately deployed Gonalons and Lorenzo in midfield? Manuel Pellegrini, midfield hardness is enough, against Saul and Augusto? Fernandes' midfield combination is not far behind, but it does not solve the fundamental weakness. In the first leg of the competition, Wen Zhihao seized the mistake of Kolarov on the left side, drove straight into the single goal, and the lack of central defender ability is a big hidden danger for Rome. Juan Jr., one of the main central defenders in this game, was also put on the bench, and the problem will naturally only be bigger, for Wen Zhihao and Griezmann, the two astute goalscorers, such a hole is enough to make a big fuss.

Augusto in the first half? Fernandes had one goal disallowed for handball. Similar to the first leg, Atletico also scored twice in the second half to seal the win. Wen Zhihao sent a deadlock-breaking cross for Antoine Griezmann. Gameiro's late goal off the bench was also inspired by his long pass in a quick counter-attack, and Garcia excitedly repeated the fact that Wen Zhihao was even more terrifying if he didn't shoot. He retreated to being a passer, and the defenders were really a team.

Beating Roma by two goals at home, Atletico Madrid secured the top spot in the group, and the prospects for the knockout stage are very favorable, and the second-placed teams in each group, only Bayern Munich in Group B and Juventus in Group D are eligible to be potential obstacles for Atletico Madrid, but luck won't be so bad, right?

In addition to congratulating Atletico Madrid on their five-game winning streak and strong breakthrough, the media also raised a very in-depth question: with the same team, why does Atletico feel like walking on thin ice in the league, but the Champions League has been smooth sailing?

Atletico are not newcomers to the Champions League in their first year, so there will be no reason why their opponents are unfamiliar. And the data doesn't lie, and Atletico Madrid's record is closely related to Wen Zhihao's data also showing a difference in the same direction. In other words, Wen Zhihao's performance is much better than in the league.

Is it proof that La Liga is at a higher level than the Champions League?

Chinese journalists look at the problem in reverse, and the conclusions they come to are even more promising.

Maybe Wen Zhihao's style of play is specific to these non-technical Champions League teams!

If Atletico can reach the Champions League final for the third year in a row, what kind of results will Wen Zhihao hand over at the end of his debut season in the Champions League with Wen Zhihao's current contribution value?

may not dare to think about breaking the record and winning the Golden Boot, which is too harsh for Wen Zhihao, but the season's goals and assists are double ten, and most of the Chinese media's optimistic predictions should be possible, and it is enough to look forward to. If it can come true, Wen Zhihao will be the undisputed first Asian player in the Champions League.
