This midweek match is a Champions League group stage with Atletico Madrid taking on AC Milan.

One is top of the group and the other is second, and it looks like the two teams with the best chance of qualifying, but in reality, it is a game that no one can afford to lose.

Atletico Madrid have five points, AC Milan four, while third and fourth-placed Zenit St. Petersburg and Anderlecht have four and three points respectively.

The difference in points between them is very small.

Therefore, it is not impossible for whoever loses the game to fall down the rankings or even to the bottom of the group.

And once the ranking drops, then the prospects of qualifying from the group are very difficult to say.

If you want to take the initiative to qualify from the group in your hands, then this game is not to be lost for both teams.

Of course, Atletico Madrid is more desperate for victory.

They have gone four games without a win, and if they lose again, it will be an even bigger blow to the team's morale, and it is very likely that this season will really slump and slide into the abyss.

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

"In recent times, I believe that many people have understood the performance of the Sheets Corps. They're in a bad situation, they've gone four games without a win, which is a very unusual performance for a team aiming to win the title! ”

"Atletico really can't drop any more points, whether it's in the domestic league or in the Champions League, they don't have the right to drop any more points. Draws and defeats can't change the team's predicament, they have to win, they have to regain confidence with a win! ”

"The back-to-back draws and defeats have left the lads of this team feeling frustrated and dazed, but at this time, they have to grit their teeth and persevere! AC Milan are not an underdog, and playing them in these difficult times is not good news for Atletico. But there is no way. They only have one choice now, and that is to fight! ”

"Look at the more than 50,000 Atletico fans, look at the slogans and banners they put up in support of the team, and listen to their voices - yes, Atletico Madrid needs heroes! Calderón needs heroes! All our Atletico fans need heroes! ”

Before the official start of the competition, Duan Xuan and his colleagues were working nervously and cleanly, constantly transmitting some pictures of the scene back to China through the camera, and sending encouraging words from time to time.

In the city of Madrid for more than a month, they have begun to gradually integrate into the atmosphere of Atletico Madrid. They may not be true Atletico fans, but they are still full of love and support for this team.

This was the last time they had a match live at Calderón Stadium. It is also the last time to witness Qin Shou's game at the scene, and after this game, they will end their follow-up work and return to China.

In such a farewell match, they, like thousands of Atletico Madrid fans, hope that Atletico Madrid can bounce back and get back on the right track with a victory.

After finishing the pre-match shooting, Duan Xuan returned to the commentary seat.

And when the game officially began. Duan Xuan clenched his fists and shouted in his heart, "Come on, Qin Shou!" Come on, Atletico Madrid! ”

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

Every Atletico player knows what this match means. Also understand what they carry on their shoulders.

So, for this game, everyone is extremely cautious.

They can't lose anymore and they can't be drawn again. In order to qualify from the group, for the fans, in order to regain confidence. And for the sake of this red and white jersey on their bodies, they have no choice, and they can't accept any result except victory!

The mentality of the Atletico players has finally adjusted, and they already know that they have no right to be arrogant, and they are still far from success.

All they lack now is the determination and confidence to get back on the road!

And victory is the key to unlocking both!

Although the players were very serious in their preparation before the game and extremely motivated to win, AC Milan almost scared them out of a cold sweat after the game started.

AC Milan, who won the kick-off, kicked off first, and as soon as they kicked off, they launched a lightning attack.

Cassano knocked the ball back to Gattuso, who overdid it and handed it to Seedorf. Seedorf observed, then kicked the ball straight to the front.

AC Milan's attack was very sudden, but Atletico were also very good at blitzkrieg, so their attention was quite concentrated, and when the football drifted to the backfield, Gabby rushed over to fight for the spot. He and Cassano jumped up at the same time to the top, and he was in a better position to take the lead in football. However, because Cassano kept making small movements under him, Gabi was unable to use his strength, and the football was not pushed away.

The ball fell in the direction of Robinho.

Qin Shou quickly made up for it, and he didn't grab it at the first time, but stuck Robinho's travel route. His idea is very simple, Robinho is closer to football, and it is difficult for him to clear the ball directly, so he simply jams the opponent's forward path, so the opponent's secondary attack cannot be played quickly. And when their players are back in place, then AC Milan's rapid attack will lose its threat.

It's just that what Qin Shou didn't expect was that the Brazilians saw that the fast attack could no longer work, and there were only himself and Cassano, who was entangled by Gabi in the front court, and the offensive force was seriously insufficient, and the positional battle was estimated to be unable to fight. Robinho was also dry, seeing that Qin Shou didn't rush up at the first time, he slammed the falling football.

At this point, there were at least forty metres between the ball and the goal, and Robinho's neurotic shot was like buying a lottery ticket.

Obviously, Robinho should have bought a lottery ticket today, and his blind volley turned out to be of extremely high quality, and the football bobbed left and right in mid-air like a white line, and then fell at a very fast speed.

It's a ball of fallen leaves!

The game had just begun, and goalkeeper Courtois had not yet entered the state quickly, and his position was a little forward. He saw Robinho's movements from afar, and guessed that the opponent was just a lucky kick, and when the football floated left and right in mid-air, he was sure that this ultra-long-range shot was not too threatening.

As the ball went down fast, Courtois finally changed his face. Seeing the ball getting closer and closer and the destination pointed to the top left corner of the goal, Courtois retreated in panic.

But it was too late, and the ball flew past Courtois, which was jumping backwards, and flew straight to the intersection of the left post and the beam.

"Robinho shoots from distance—"

"What an incredible shot!"

"Deciduous balls! The football went over Courtois and the ball was going to go ......"

Amid the exclamations and screams of the commentators, the Atletico fans at the scene made almost the same action, which was to close their eyes in pain.

"Is it true that our team has been abandoned by God? Or is it really cursed and caught in a strange circle? ”

Fans suddenly remembered the remarks that had been so vigorously played out in the newspapers during this time about Atletico Madrid's unbeaten circle, and at first they were sneering, but now they ...... The opponent volleyed casually, and he was almost scored. It's hard to get this kind of luck without feeling hopeless.

However, Atletico Madrid's luck was not bad enough to go home, or AC Milan's luck was not to the extent of going against the sky, just when a sense of powerlessness rose in the hearts of all the fans, a moment later, a dull sound pulled everyone back to reality.

"Bang~"

The football was turned away by the crossbar.

Courtois, who was already on the verge of despair, finally came to his senses and swooped forward, crushing the football under him.

The excitement of ascending from hell to heaven even made Courtois make a ridiculous gesture - he hugged the football under him like a girlfriend.

Not to mention him, the head coach on the sidelines, Simeone, had closed his eyes in pain. His team needed a win to get out of their current predicament, but he couldn't imagine the consequences of conceding a goal as soon as the game started. It is foreseeable that the players' confidence will be further frustrated, and even the idea that even luck will throw them away may arise, and at that point, Atletico Madrid are truly on the verge of collapse.

Thankfully, they weren't completely abandoned by Lady Luck in the end.

The crossbar saved Atletico's life, and also temporarily stabilized the team's confidence that was on the verge of collapse.

Simone knelt on the ground, constantly drawing the cross, excited and happy, overflowing with words.

The Atletico players also woke up from their panic and were terrified.

The fans at the scene finally opened their eyes, saw that the football did not score, the score did not change, and the surprised expressions of escape began to appear on their faces.

"Atletico Madrid escaped with good luck!"

"God hasn't abandoned Calderón - if a shot like this could have scored, I really can't imagine what a huge blow it would have for Atletico Madrid, who were already in a slump!"

Qin Shou looked at Courtois who was constantly holding the football in the penalty area from a distance, and he was also relieved in his heart.

The morale of the players has finally rebounded, and the fans have also touched the heartstrings of the players who want to fight hard, but if the opponent's inexplicable shot really goes in, he doesn't know if the team still has the strength to continue to stand up.

While rejoicing in his heart that he had escaped, Qin Shou also clenched his fists fiercely, luck is unreliable after all, if you want to win, you have to rely on yourself in the end.

In this game, he must give his best, and then, win the victory!
