When Atletico Madrid played Wolfsburg 1-0, the Atletico players were hoping to rely on their stubborn defense in exchange for a victory. - When the score became 1-1, Atletico were hoping to change the score with their stunner. Even after the score became 2-1, the Atletico Madrid players still did not give up the hope of scoring another goal to win with the advantage of away goals, but when the score became 3-1, the final outcome of this game was basically presented in the eyes of the football 'fans'.

In this game, it is impossible for Atletico to turn the tables again. The 3-1 scoreline, a two-goal advantage, was enough to make Wolfsburg have the last laugh, and it was enough to make Atletico Madrid have no chance of creating another miracle.

On the pitch, Mandzukic, who scored the goal, could no longer suppress his excitement. After scoring a goal, he also jumped to his feet, took off his shirt, waved it in his hand, and celebrated wildly. Although this means that he will definitely receive a yellow card, in his opinion, it is definitely worth it!

He scored the game-winning goal for his team, and for a goal like that, it is impossible to celebrate. It's just a yellow card, as long as it's not sent off immediately, what's the big deal?

It's not the time to calculate, it's time to celebrate. This goal means that Wolfsburg does not have to worry about the opponent's comeback. With a big score of 3-1, even if Atletico can score in the final stage, Wolfsburg is still the winner in this game. Atletico Madrid's physical strength is already insufficient, they can't always score two goals in one breath at the end of the game, and if that doesn't happen, Wolfsburg, what's so scary?

For them, it may be more practical to worry that the opponent will not be able to play now, and it is more practical to play the black foot in the final stage than to worry about the opponent being able to turn the tables - this game, Wolfsburg has already won!

Atletico Madrid's players also understand this very well. Stand on the pitch. Alderweireld was not able to recover for a long time. Wolfsburg's two goals in extra-time were both offensive attempts that broke down the area he defended, first by Gao Shunyao and then by Perisic. They all saw this as a breakthrough. For failure, he has an unshirkable responsibility, if it weren't for him, it's really hard to say who will lose and who will win this game.

His teammates held out for 120 minutes, dwelling with the enemy. But because of his two mistakes, the team lost the game, which also made him feel unable to hold his head up in front of everyone.

It's a Champions League semi-final, not your average game. His team has not reached the Champions League final for more than 30 years, which is the most advanced, but because of his own major mistakes, the team eventually lost. This is definitely a fatal blow to the players, even if they are mentally strong. It's hard to bear.

Standing on the pitch, he couldn't say a word, and it wasn't until Gabi, who came from behind him, grabbed his shoulders that he relented. Looking back, he saw his captain with a hint of helplessness, but without any reproachful concern.

"It's not your fault, don't care."

Gabi whispered comforting words, although his words were not subtle and difficult to do, but the meaning of his words. Alderweireld's disappointment was swept away.

The captain didn't blame him, and his teammates still trusted him, which was more pleasing than anything else.

Looking at his appearance, Gabi also sighed. Although the game has been lost to such a field. But as the captain, Gabi didn't mean to blame his teammates. He knows better than anyone that it's not just Alderweireld's problem, the team is playing like this, there is no way to win, to a large extent. Or is it because of the team's lack of physical strength as a whole, not because of the way one person plays.

Because of the two-front operation, the team does not have enough physical strength to maintain full physical strength on both lines at the same time. Because there was no way to maintain his strength, Juanfran was substituted in the middle of the game, which led to the team having to use the substitute. And when the substitute player comes on the field, there is naturally a high possibility that the 'sex' will be blown up by the opponent - this kind of thing, Atletico Madrid should have expected it before the game. In the final analysis, their failure is not the problem of a single player, Atletico Madrid is playing the way they are now, or losing because of the overall lack of physical strength, which is the biggest problem.

Losing because of the team's overall inadequacy, but blaming a certain player for not being strong enough, is not what a strong team should do. Atletico Madrid have lost hope of winning in the game, but they should not lose the unity and fighting spirit that a team should have. Atletico Madrid is determined to become a strong team, and this season has not yet completely passed. You can lose the game, but you can't lose morale. Even if this game is doomed, what they have to do is not to admit defeat, but to persevere and finish this game.

Even if it fails, it has to leave the game with dignity - Atletico Madrid's players are not prepared to admit defeat in embarrassment.

----------------

Gabi's encouragement did not change Atletico's defeat in the end, but the Atletico players performed quite well in the final stage of the game. After this game was already doomed, they did not give up on themselves excessively, dealt with it randomly, and did not start to hurt their black feet and foul rudely because they lost. With 3-1 a foregone conclusion, Atletico Madrid's players are still playing very seriously, and even compared to the previous ferocity, they have restrained a lot.

Throughout the game, until the last second, the Atletico players did not have any 'radical' action, and they gave this game a beautiful finish. Compared to the malicious speculation, Atletico Madrid is obviously a much better team. Whether it's the final result of the game or the interview after the game, they have proven that they are not a team that cannot afford to lose.

'My team played well in the game and they gave it their all. We're so tired, the opponents are playing better than us, there's nothing to say about that. We gave everything, but in the end, we still met a regrettable result. But even so, I'm still proud of my players and for now, all I can tell them is that the season isn't over yet, what we have to do is keep our minds on and keep looking forward. ”

After the match, in an interview, Simonny was very comfortable with his defeat. Although on the pitch, his team's style of play is quite dirty, but after the game, when facing the interview, there is really not so much indignation in his words. It was part of the game when he didn't play cleanly, but after losing, he was willing to admit defeat.

In this respect, Simonni was very personable. At least he didn't shirk his responsibilities after the game, and he didn't complain about the unfairness of the game. Although the means are exhausted in the game, after the game, losing is losing, winning is winning, and this attitude can be regarded as a rare responsibility in football.

Although when summarizing the team's problems, Simonny still does not admit that his team is not strong, but believes that the biggest reason for the loss is the lack of physical strength, but compared to some coaches who like to trouble the referee, this attitude is also good. After the loss, he at least admitted that it was his team's problem, which is also rare.

Modern football is under increasing pressure, and sometimes after losing, the coach or the team will inevitably find some reasons for their team. The team that is really far away from bravely admitting that it loses because of its lack of strength, which is relatively rare in today's football world. And this kind of thing obviously didn't happen to Si'Monny, this game, Atletico Madrid really didn't play well enough, compared to Wolfsburg, they suffered enough physical losses. Simoni also knows what his team lost for, and he naturally won't anger anyone because of it.

Of course, his attitude is also related to Wolfsburg's style of play: throughout the game, Wolfsburg played very seriously, and from beginning to end, they did not have any rough fouls, malicious retaliation or pretending to fake falls. For the game, Wolfsburg's attitude was very 'colorful', which made Si'Monni after the loss also willing to gamble and lose.

There is no shame in admitting losing to such a team.

It's just that, even so, Atletico Madrid still inevitably reveals some unconcealable sadness.

In this game, they lost after all, the Champions League final is just around the corner, but their team was not able to win in the game, which is a very uncomfortable thing after all. Even if he thinks that his loss is justified and not wronged, Atletico Madrid is still a little difficult to accept this result after all.

After all, they have had a good record against Real Madrid for a season, and if they can reach the final with Real Madrid, they are confident that they can beat Real Madrid and win the title.

That kind of thing, just thinking about it makes the Atletico players happy. As Real Madrid's rivals, beating them in the Champions League final, which Real Madrid values the most, and stepping on their own rivals while winning the title is undoubtedly the most satisfying thing.

But now, they can't do that kind of thing.

"Of course we are sorry that we didn't make it to the final. We were close to the final, but in the end, it was they who won. It was a fair football, they got the win after extra time and we have nothing to complain about. Thankfully, we were able to win other titles this season and we will keep working hard and that's the only thing that's pleased. ”

Like Simonny, Gabi, as the captain of the team, did not express too much dissatisfaction with the loss of the game. After the game, he was also willing to gamble and admit defeat, and chose to accept the loss due to lack of physical strength. It's just that when he was interviewed, he still had a faint regret, and he was quite helpless that he didn't enter the finals.

As the captain of Atletico Madrid, no matter how he says, he is not willing to miss this Champions League final - especially when the match between Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg is over, and after Real Madrid won the game the next day, his mood is also the thoughts of almost every Atletico Madrid football 'fan'.
