As the most valuable player in Atletico Madrid, and the winner of the new European Golden Boy Award, Qin Shou naturally has a lot of attention. Coupled with the "change of nationality" time that has been making a lot of noise in Europe and China in recent days, Qin Shou is even more eye-catching.

So as soon as he stepped off the bus, he was chased and intercepted by dozens of media reporters from various European countries.

"Qin, it is said that you will become British citizenship in the near future and will be playing with England in this summer's European Championships. Is this true? ”

"With England? No, I got the news that Qin is about to immigrate to the United States and join the American team. Qin, can you tell me which national team you joined? ”

Qin has already made a statement on Twitter that he will not change his nationality. Qin, what prompted you to give up your decision to change your nationality? ”

"Can you tell us what you think about this incident? Will this incident affect your form in this game? ”

The reporters kept asking questions like cannons, and all kinds of long guns and short cannons were almost drowning Qin Shou, and most of their questions were focused on this incident.

Qin Shou kept a calm face and didn't say a word, just buried his head and walked forward.

A staff member of Atletico Madrid Club came forward to clear the siege, and while escorting Qin Shou in the direction of the away team's locker room, he said loudly to reporters-

"Please focus on this game! We will not answer any questions that are not related to this game! ”

"Please don't stop our players, we're here to play in the Champions League, not to satisfy your curiosity!"

"If you guys have questions, please ask them at the press conference after the game."

"Please give way, let go, please don't disturb our players' preparations......"

In the locker room, Simeone is making his final mobilization.

This second-leg match with Schalke 04 can be described as a life-and-death battle for Atletico Madrid's Champions League journey this season. Because the first leg was only a narrow 3:2 victory, and the opponent also got two away goals. So they're in a bad situation.

The opponent only needs one goal. to be able to push them to the edge of the cliff.

So Simeone didn't have the mentality of sticking to a one-goal advantage. In his opinion, no team with the best defense can keep the whole game 90 minutes without making a mistake, and if they let the opponent score a goal, then their path to promotion is really bleak.

Simeone decided to do the opposite.

He asked the team to play back after the opening, to pull out the attack, to suppress the home team with sharp and fast attacks, and it is best to be able to score first, so that they can defend and counterattack with peace of mind.

Of course. Defence remains the top priority in this game.

"Everyone understands the situation, although we won the first leg, but a one-goal lead is not safe, and the opponent only needs one goal to erase all the disadvantages. I want everyone to play a little bit more aggressively in this game and if we can score a goal, then the balance of victory will be tilted in our favour. ”

"It's going to be a difficult game and Schalke 04, with two away goals in hand, will surely be attacking fiercely at home. We won at home, away from home. The opponent will definitely think that we will play a desperate tactic, no, we will do the opposite. Yes, we need to score. As long as there is a goal. We will be able to take the absolute initiative. ”

"Of course, that doesn't mean we're giving up on defending. I hope that everyone will continue to run and fight as much as in any previous race. In the first half, we attacked. In the second half, we will pay more attention to defense! ”

"All right, boys. Go for our victory! Believe in yourself, the final winner will be us! The quarter-finals of the Champions League are just one step away! Promotion! Promotion! Promotion! ”

After expounding his tactical intentions, Simeone, who rarely motivates his players with words, rarely used words to boost morale, he shook his fist fiercely and shouted loudly with determination.

"Advance! Promotion! Promotion! ”

He was responded to by the same determined and passionate yelling from the players.

"Let's get out!"

Simeone's words fell, and the players rushed out towards the door of the dressing room.

Qin Shou walked last, and Simone grabbed him.

"Qin, how do you feel?"

Qin Shou understood what the head coach was asking.

In the past few days, the time of "changing nationality" has been in an uproar, although Qin Shou rarely appears in public, but he has always paid attention to the development of the situation, and he is quite physically and mentally exhausted.

Simeone also knows this, which is why he asked. He was worried that these things would affect Qin Shou's competitive state.

"I'm fine, coach." Qin Shou nodded and smiled, "Anderson handled it very well, and the impact of this matter is gradually disappearing. Also, I know what is important, and I don't mix things in private with things in the game. ”

Simone nodded, didn't say anything more, patted Qin Shou's shoulder, and then walked out of the locker room.

Qin Shou also walked briskly in the direction of the players' tunnel.

Although it is a competitive relationship, the atmosphere at Gelsenkirchen Stadium is very good, and the fans are not blindly targeting the away players, and there are also many Spanish players in the Schalke 04 team.

"Hey, Qin."

Raul, who was wearing the captain's armband, saw Qin Shou and beckoned to Qin Shou with a smile.

"Hello, Gonzalez."

Qin Shou walked over with a smile.

"I heard you've been in a bit of trouble lately, how is it, is your state okay?"

After a few pleasantries, Raul suddenly asked such a question.

"Fortunately, I have friends to help me deal with these things, so I don't have to be too distracted." Feeling Raul's kindness, Qin Shou replied truthfully.

"Well, that's good. To be honest, the paparazzi in Europe are so powerful that they are so pervasive that they can turn it over for you at the slightest hint and make it up. You'll get used to it, and it's a great opportunity to train your heart to be stronger, haha. ”

Raul smiled and made a joke, patted Qin Shou on the shoulder and continued: "Your state is okay, that's the best, I don't want to beat a Chinese Qin who is not in the state, ha, otherwise even if you succeed in qualifying, it won't be much fun." ”

Qin Shou also smiled, he pursed his lips and said, "Don't talk too early, you must know that it is we who are leading now." ”

Not to be outdone, Raul responded: "So what, we have a two-goal advantage on the road. ”

Qin Shou nodded, twisted his neck and said, "But it's us who lead." ”

"It's our home turf."

"But it's us who are ahead."

'We're in good shape and we'll play better with the support of the home fans. We're going to win. ”

"It's us who lead."

“……”

After a while, Raul was completely helpless against Qin Shou.

"You guy, you're really ......" Qin Shou smiled bitterly, "Yes, then let's divide the victory and defeat on the field." ”

Qin Shou shrugged noncommittally, with a smile on his face, he opened his mouth and was about to speak.

But it was interrupted by Raul.

"I know it's you who are leading now. It's really ......."

"I was actually trying to say—okay!"

“……”

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

The game started at 6:30 p.m. sharp.

When picking the side, captain Gabi lost the right to pick the side, but got the right to kick off.

This is exactly what Atletico Madrid players want. The team's tactics in the first half were to attack and stop the attack, and getting the kick-off meant that they could start the game with an attack.

After all, it was the side that led the aggregate score, and in the eyes of others, there was no need to put on a fierce posture as soon as the game started. Under normal circumstances, it should be to control the ball steadily, play when you have the opportunity, and don't worry if you don't have the opportunity. Anyway, it is the home team that should be in a hurry, they can defend solidly, and then threaten the home team with counter-attacks.

Atletico Madrid's anti-away style of play made the home team a little unexpected, and they did not press at the first time.

After Koke handed the ball to Qin Shou, he quickly ran to the front court. And Qin Shou did not hesitate, and passed the football to Costa in the front court, and he quickly passed through the midfield.

Costa gave the ball to Coke with his head, and he was able to sprint quickly towards the penalty area.

Atletico's attack quickly pushed past the midfield.

This time, however, the attack was also very simple, with Koke dribbling the ball wide and passing the ball back to the middle before the opposition full-backs pressed up. Qin Shou, who was keeping up, picked up a pass and sent the football into the penalty area.

Costa and Falcao played together, with the former jumping up and shaking his head to rub the ball to the back post, and Falcao followed with a kick.

Atletico Madrid's attack this time was simple and fast, and before the home team's defence could react, Falcao had already completed the shot.

However, Hildebrand was focused, and the moment Falcao had a shot, he moved to the near corner. In the frustration, Falcao's powerful shot hit his right foot, and the ball changed direction slightly, grazing the post and flying off the line.

Hildebrand was sure that the football was blocked by himself, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in a cold sweat, and then got up from the ground and pumped himself up with his fists.

"This quick attack of Atletico Madrid is really scary! Whew~ It's okay, the football is blocked! ”

Thinking so, Hildebrand clapped his hands and yelled at his teammates, signaling them to concentrate and protect the penalty area.
