For Heynckes' remarks similar to "victory declaration", Atletico Madrid did not pay much attention to it, and the players were preparing for the game step by step, only coach Simeone said something in an interview with reporters, "The opponent is strong, but we are very confident!" "We're going to take this game seriously and try to get the lead at home!" And so on and so forth.

If it weren't for the fear of weakening his momentum, it is estimated that Simone would not even bother to say this.

He doesn't know what Heynckes and his Bayern think, but he and his team don't have the heart to fight war of words, psychological warfare or anything. Although the pre-match confrontation is also an extremely common and important means in the football world, Bayern Munich, as the world's top giant team, has never seen any storms, anyway, Simeone feels that if he really puts his energy into playing psychological battles with them, it is estimated that Bayern will not suffer in the end.

The most important point is that before the start of this game, Atletico Madrid's fan camp was in a state of flux, wondering who had turned over the old things from decades ago, causing a common hatred in the city of Madrid, and the desire for revenge was rampant. The fans were agitated, and Simeone didn't want to make things out of control.

In his opinion, just prepare for the game with peace of mind, as for revenge, there is no talk of it at all, the victory and defeat on the field are sparse and usual, he warned the players that they only need to be confident in their own strength, work hard to win, and there is no need to talk about revenge and other topics.

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

The game officially starts at 8 o'clock sharper on Wednesday night.

A little more than an hour earlier, the ticket gates at the Calderón Stadium had begun work, and 60,000 Atletico Madrid fans wearing red and white home team shirts had entered the stadium. The stands soon became crowded, and a sea of red was constantly stirring in the stands on all sides.

Fans sang Atletico's anthem in the stands, held high the Atletico emblem and waved red and white scarves, cheering and shouting loudly, and the atmosphere was already very enthusiastic before the game even started.

Before the game, Simeone asked the players not to bring up the topic of "revenge", but he can restrain his players, but not the fans. In addition to the slogans and banners cheering for the team, there were also many signs in the stands that mocked and insulted Bayern.

"The pain you have brought to us, after today, I will return it to you!"

"Here, Germans, you're going to suffer a crushing defeat!"

"You may have forgotten, but we have not!"

"Come on, after more than thirty years, let's fight again! This time, the winner will be us! ”

"Go ahead, Atletico Madrid!"

There are not many away fans who follow Bayern to Madrid, about 1,000 people, and under the sound of tens of thousands of people, they are like a small boat floating in the ocean, unable to set off the slightest wind and waves.

However, the Germans have always been known for their tenacity and tenacity, and although their voices are quickly drowned out by tens of thousands of fans at home, they are still shouting as hard as they can.

"We are the great Bayern Munich, we are invincible!"

"If we can defeat you once, we can defeat you a second time!"

"Football is not about who can win the final victory by whose voice is louder, we will use practical actions to tell you that Atletico Madrid is still far from the real giants!"

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

The supporters of both teams were singing in the stands as if they were singing against each other, shouting back and forth, but in general, it was the Atletico fans who had the absolute upper hand - no way, this is the Calderón Stadium, 60,000 against 2,000, and it is obvious who is louder.

At 7:50, the two teams entered the tunnel and waited to play.

Qin Shou stood at the front of the line, and on his opposite side was the French superstar Frank. Ribery. The player, nicknamed the "Scar Warrior", with a long, hideous scar on his face, is one of Bayern's most dangerous players despite his small stature but great speed and skill at his feet.

They are all mixed football circles, and they are both superstar-level figures, although Qin Shou and Ribery do not play in the same league, but at many awards events and banquets, the two have also met several times, and at the FIFA Golden Ball Awards ceremony two months ago, the two have only met each other, and they can be regarded as "old acquaintances" - of course, Qin Shou was offstage at that time, and Ribery was on stage.

"See you again, Frank."

Qin Shou saw Ribery looking back at him, smiled and nodded to the other party, which was regarded as a greeting.

"yes, meet again. The last time we met at the award ceremony, I didn't expect that this time we met directly in the arena. Ribery also smiled, the scar on his face shook with his cheeks when he laughed, it looked even more terrifying, but it gave people a kind feeling, it was really a little weird, "Speaking of which, it seems that we have known each other for a long time, but this seems to be the first time we have met in a competition, right?" ”

"yes, for the first time." Qin Shou spread his hands helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, we are not a big club, we don't have so many opportunities to go further in the Champions League, naturally, there are not many opportunities to fight." ”

"Are you modest?" Ribery smiled dumbly, "Now who in the whole of Europe doesn't know that your Atletico Madrid is in good shape, to be honest, we don't want to meet you so early." You're so tough. ”

"Before the game started, you said we were difficult? Ha, then I'll borrow your auspicious words. Qin Shou said with a smile.

"......" Ribery was a little speechless at Qin Shou's behavior of climbing up the pole, and he also spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders in the same way as Qin Shou, "Thierry once said that you would become the best professional player in the world, and now it seems that you are improving faster than he imagined." Of course, that's not the point, the point is, he's said you're very thick-skinned, well, I have to admit that Thierry does have his own unique way of looking at people. ”

"Ha, this kind of compliment, I ...... Admit it! Qin Shou nodded very seriously, "That's right, no matter what aspect, I am an extremely outstanding person." It's ...... in every way Perfect! ”

“……”

Ribery was speechless.

After a few more small talks, someone had already informed them that they could enter the field, and the two looked at each other and nodded, and then walked towards the entrance of the players' tunnel.

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

After a series of pre-match activities, the clock was ticking to eight o'clock sharp, and referee Atkinson blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Because the two teams fighting in this game are the hottest and most popular teams in continental Europe at this stage, one is an old giant in world football, and the other is a newly rising upstart, and the battle between the two will inevitably be full of sparks and passion. Therefore, UEFA also attaches great importance to this game and sent the famous golden whistle Martin in football. Atkinson was the first referee.

Atkinson is also a well-known and controversial referee, the 41-year-old is English, and his penalty scale on the field is actually very strict, the more the two play, the more he plays cards, so he also has a nickname called "Card Maniac".

But Atkinson also has a big problem, that is, in the games he administers, he often makes mistakes and misses, and many British fans question his professionalism, but UEFA has great trust in him, and Atkinson's penalty performance in the tournament is generally commendable, and there has been no big mistake.

Leaving aside the referee for a moment, turn your attention back to the playing field.

Once the game started, Bayern Munich had the ball on their side, losing the right to pick both sides of the pitch and getting the kick-off.

Bayern Munich did not rush to attack, but passed the football back to the backfield and patiently made an inverted pass.

It's already in the quarter-finals, and no one doesn't want to go further, so caution is a must, both sides are not fish belly teams, and if you go up, you can only beat them up, in addition to making jokes, it can only be futile.

Therefore, Bayern is very experienced in holding the ball firmly first, and then slowly looking for opportunities, and there is a game time, after the trial, and then looking for fighters, this is the right reason.

Besides, Bayern are playing away from home, and even if they get a draw, they can accept it. So they don't need to be in a hurry at all, and it should be Atletico Madrid who are more eager to score goals and want to win.

In fact, don't look at Bayern coach Heynckes swore before the game that his team will definitely become the ultimate winner, but that is also a mouthful, in fact, for the first leg of this quarter-final competition, Heynckes' goal is to keep the draw and win, it doesn't matter if you can't win, as long as you don't lose.

First, it is because Atletico Madrid is indeed a strong team now, and their form is so good that it is terrifying, plus it is playing at home, it can be said that they occupy the right time and place, and it is really difficult to beat them in Calderón.

The second point is Bayern's own reasons.

They played well in the group stage and the quarter-finals, but as they entered the mid-to-late stages of the league, their injury situation was not light, with the team's main winger Arjen Robben and main centre-back Boateng unavailable for this game.

This is a big loss for Bayern at both the offensive and defensive ends.
