After the match against Deportivo La Coruna, Atletico's attention once again turned to the Champions League.

Because the score in the first leg is dangerous, they have to be careful in the second leg and try to make fewer mistakes, preferably not to make mistakes, and not to give the opponent a chance to shoot and score.

Simeone has also locked himself up during this time, and has been struggling with his coaching team to think about tactical plans for playing away from home.

But when you think about it, there's no particularly good way. Because the two teams are not strangers to each other, and everyone understands each other's tactical routines, after all, the Champions League games have been played to this extent, and the remaining teams are all strong, what styles and characteristics they have, and they have long been figured out.

In the end, Simeone decided to stick to what he was good at, which was to defend and counterattack. After all, it is Atletico Madrid who is leading the score now, and there is no reason for them to stumble with each other as soon as they come up on the opponent's home field. Although all teams know that preventing Qin Shou is equivalent to cutting off Atletico Madrid's most threatening fangs, who can guarantee 100% that they will have the means to completely restrict Qin Shou to death?

It's like in the first leg of the game between the two teams, Qin Shou was also very restricted, but instigating a goal and scoring a goal directly, just looking at such a performance, you know that it is almost impossible to completely prevent Qin Shou and not give him a little room to play.

Therefore, Simeone and his coaching team unanimously decided that the team went away from home, and still insisted on the tactics of defensive counterattacks, no matter how the opponent responded, as long as they did their best to respond to all changes, it was enough.

The second most prosperous city in the UK and the first industrialised city in the world, Manchester has survived the ups and downs of history but has gone from strength to prosperity and is now the UK's most important transport hub and commercial, financial, industrial and cultural centre.

Manchester's prosperity is beyond the scope of its fame, but the reason the city is famous all over the world is also due to its strong football atmosphere.

The city is home to no less than 20 professional and non-professional teams from all levels of the English league, with one of the most famous being Manchester United in the North West Manchestershire.

Manchester United is one of the most successful clubs in the history of English football and one of the most influential and successful teams in Europe and the world, with 12 FA Cups, 4 English League Cups, 20 English top flight titles, 3 UEFA Champions League titles, 1 Cup Winners' Cup and 1 UEFA Super Cup.

The trophies are displayed in Manchester United's Hall of Honour, shining brightly, telling the glory and greatness of this team.

And in the history of the team, such as Busby, Charlton, Best, Cantona, Beckham...... These names of stars from all eras have been part of this team, which is enough to prove Manchester United's status in today's world football.

Manchester City, who are in the same city as Manchester United, are a bit bleak in comparison.

Nicknamed "Blue Moon", Manchester City are not so bad, having also won domestic cup competitions, four English top flight titles and one European Cup Winners' Cup.

Although the title is not won much, Manchester City is definitely not a weak team, and it is only under the glorious light of the city's sworn rival Manchester United that it looks a little inconspicuous.

In addition, after Manchester City entered the new century, its results have been up and down, and it has been relegated to the second division of the league, so its influence has weakened more and more.

Despite the lack of results, Manchester City has no less fan base in the city than Manchester United, and Manchester City fans have always been steadfast in their support for their beloved Blue Moon, and this persistence has finally waited for the day when the clouds will be cleared and the rainbow will be seen - after the Arab Abu Dhabi consortium took over Manchester City, the Blue Moon recruited heavily and steadily improved in strength and results, and in the 10-11 season, they won the FA Cup, breaking the embarrassing history of the team without a title for 35 years.

Since then, Manchester City have been out of control, winning the league title the following season and breaking the all-time record this season, not only reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but even advancing to the last four.

At present, Manchester City is also in the top three in the league and still has a chance to challenge for the league title. Even more commendable, Manchester City are now unbeaten in 11 home games at their home stadium, the Etihad Stadium. This is also a point that many people are not optimistic about Atletico Madrid before the start of the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and Manchester City is also an authentic home dragon, so as long as they play normally, it is still very promising to win Atletico Madrid at the Etihad Stadium.

Now Manchester City has enough confidence and strength to wrestle with Manchester United next door, not only Manchester United, but also the giants of all Europe are qualified to fight.

And now, they are making great strides towards a new team history.

Of course, only if they get past Atletico Madrid.

In this regard, Manchester City fans are full of confidence that the team will eliminate Atletico Madrid and advance to the final.

"If you look at our performance in the first leg, you know that we have a good chance of knocking the Spaniard out!"

"I don't think Atletico will have a chance at all...... Yes, I admit they're good, but we're not bad either, we've got Sergio Aguero, we've got Toure, we've got Tevez...... We have the strength and confidence to defeat all opponents! ”

'Since we were able to score against them away from home, back at home, on our own turf, are the goals obvious, one, two, three? No matter how many there are, I firmly believe that the final winner must be us! ”

Manchester City fans have confidently made such statements in any public place, and later, more and more fans have joined, and the momentum has become louder and stronger, and the attitude has become more and more unbeatable.

"Atletico Madrid? Ha, who are they? Can they be compared to us? ”

"They just have to remember that after 90 minutes, we'll be laughing out loud against the backdrop of them crying."

"Trust me, they'll leave the Etihad Stadium crying!"

"I think they've already booked a ticket back home......"

“……”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Atletico Madrid did not pay attention to such remarks, in fact, every time it comes to a key game, whether it is the fans of both sides or media reporters, there will be a war of words intentionally or unintentionally.

There are two ways to deal with this situation. One is to join in and quarrel with the other party so much that his face is red and his neck is thick. The other is to ignore it. Quarrels are also two-sided, without the participation of one party, the other party is not interesting to talk to himself.

As for whether the fans are noisy or not, then they don't care.

"Manchester!"

"We'll let you suffer the consequences!"

"Remember what you said, and hopefully after ninety minutes, you'll be the one who weeps!"

"Do you think you can compete with the world's biggest teams? No, no, no, you're just a bunch of nouveau riche, you're still far from the rich! ”

This is the response of Atletico fans. In the case that the players of both teams were not involved, the fans on both sides were very noisy and lively.

Amid a war of words among fans, Qin Shou and his teammates arrived in Manchester City on Tuesday night.

However, this trip to Manchester City was not so pleasant from the start.

As soon as they arrived in Manchester City, countless Manchester City fans came to "warmly entertain" them, and the bus traveled all the way, and the fans followed and cursed all the way.

After all, such a situation is not uncommon in world football, and even Atletico Madrid fans sometimes harass "guests" who come to Madrid.

What is infuriating is that after tidying up the hotel, Atletico went to the Etihad Stadium to prepare for the stadium adaptation training, but they had already made an appointment for the time but were rejected by the stadium staff, telling them that the stadium was undergoing maintenance and could not be trained immediately.

Suffering such "rude" treatment, Simeone can be said to have held back his anger, and finally patiently negotiated with the management of the opposing club, but was delayed again and again, and when he received the notice that he could go to the court for training, nearly two hours had passed.

Atletico Madrid's players blew a dry wind in the night wind for two hours, and the training state was naturally not good, there was no way, and after a quarter of an hour of rough training, Simeone could only return to the hotel with the players.

The most infuriating thing is that after returning to the hotel to rest, from time to time there will be Manchester City fans who organize to go upstairs to the hotel to shout and make noise, in order to affect the rest of the Atletico Madrid players.

Simeone complained to the hotel, and the security guards delayed and couldn't get through, so the security guards went to "drive the fans away", but it didn't take long for the fans to return downstairs and continue their "sonic offensive".

This situation lasted until 2 a.m., when Simeone reluctantly called the police, and the situation improved.

The next day, Simeone protested to Manchester City and demanded that Atletico Madrid negotiate with the other side.

Faced with such a situation, Qin Shou couldn't bear it, and when Simeone went to settle the negotiations, he was interviewed by a British media.

"You don't know who we are?"

"You think this will hit us?"

"Do you think you can win with such a 'despicable' method?"

"I'm telling you, it's wishful thinking – we're going to win the game, we're going to be the team that qualify for the finals! I, Qin Shou, do what I say! If I can't, I'll crawl back to Madrid from Manchester! Wait and see! ”
