Is Atletico Madrid strong? It's hard to say. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This season's Atletico Madrid is inseparable from the powerful Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, and still retains the hope of winning the championship; In the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup, they eliminated the invincible Barcelona with a score of 1:1 away and 1:0 at home!

One can imagine how difficult this Atletico team is to deal with.

But on the other hand, Simeone's team doesn't have any big names after all, they play a kind of football as a whole, and maybe at the critical moment, they can't resist the flash of a superstar.

For Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid may be a tougher opponent than Real Madrid. Because this team has conceded the fewest goals in La Liga!

They are also the only team in this Champions League who have not lost a goal, conceding just five goals in 10 games!

This season, Atletico Madrid's defensive ability has been noticed by the whole of Europe!

PSG's Ibrahimovic will still be absent from the game, and in the last game against Chelsea, it was clear how important Ibrahimovic was to PSG. His absence may be an unbearable pain for Paris Saint-Germain!

On April 20, in the 34th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain, who was heavily rotated, defeated Yveen 2:0 at home, and Shi Hao was substituted after playing 60 minutes in the left winger position. In those 60 minutes, he assisted a goal and performed well.

After the match, the whole team flew to Madrid to start preparing for the first leg against Atletico Madrid.

Due to the closed training that has been adopted, reporters do not know what tactics Blanco has arranged, or even whether Ibrahimovic will be able to return in time.

If Ibrahimovic can't return and Cavani accumulates yellow cards and is suspended, who will Blanco use to play as a central striker? Or will he play without a striker, as he did in the second half against Chelsea?

On April 23, the answer was revealed.

Ibrahimovic really couldn't make it to this game, and Paris Saint-Germain, who were playing away, once again showed no striker.

Ravic, who was criticized for being too lonely in the previous game, continued to start, with Brazilian genius Lucas Jr. on the right winger and Shi Hao in the middle. There was a slight change in the midfield trio, with Verratti suspended for accumulating yellow cards and Cabaye partnering Motta and Matuidi in midfield. At the back, Marquinhos was suspended for accumulating yellow cards and was replaced by veteran Kamara, while Van der Wiel was still rested and Jarrett continued to start.

The suspension of the three main players for accumulating yellow cards is of course a big loss for Paris Saint-Germain. Although UEFA is rumoured to be discussing the rule, it is likely that the accumulation of yellow cards in future matches will be cleared after reaching the semi-finals, at least for this Champions League, the old rules will still be used.

Atletico Madrid's home team is basically complete, goalkeeper Courtois, right-back Juanfrán, the center-back partner is currently the least conceded South American pair in La Liga, Miranda and Godin, left-back Felipe. Louis. The double midfielders are Gabi and Mario. Suarez, the three midfielders from left to right: Diego, Raul. Garcia and rising star Koke, lone striker Diego. Costa.

PSG, who have an unformed squad and are playing away from home, unsurprisingly went on the defensive, and Blanco stressed during his pre-match mobilization that he hoped the players could put together a draw in this game, and Ibrahimovic would return to the home side in the next leg, while Cavani, Verratti and Marquinhos would also return to the team, and that would be a good time for the decisive battle.

Less than a minute into the game, Gabi fired a powerful shot from outside the box that went just wide of the post. After that, Atletico Madrid did not rush to attack, but cautiously tested. In the first few minutes of the game, both sides were passing slowly, trying to find holes in the opponent's formation. Paris Saint-Germain defended their own half and Atletico Madrid had significantly more possession, but they were slower in attack and did not put together a few dangerous attacks.

Shi Hao is slowly adapting to his role. Since the second half of the away game against Chelsea, he felt as if he had suddenly opened up his mind to control the tempo of the game, and when he came into the system, his decision, vision and teamwork improved by a few points, which is probably what is known as an "epiphany".

In the last game against Ivian, although he was assigned to play left winger, he consciously ran to the middle to organize the attack on several occasions, and the effect was not bad, and he also received a few assists.

Continuing to play in the striker's midfield, he was no longer as helpless as he was last time, but quickly got into the groove.

Simone specially arranged for Suarez to keep a close eye on Shi Hao, but Shi Hao was very flexible, fast, and often retreated deeply. He left the middle to Lucas Jr. and Ravitch to cut in, while he helped Matuidi and Cabaye to sort out the midfield, so Suarez's marking did not make much of a difference, and Atletico Madrid did not give Atletico Madrid too many chances in the first 20 minutes of the game.

In the 20th minute, PSG had their first shot on goal. Shi Hao took the ball in his own half, quickly dribbled past Suarez, and found Ravic running along the left with a precise arc long pass.

Ravic didn't stick to the ball too much this time, hitting the ball down the middle, and Lucas Jr. ran to the landing point and fired straight at the goal after stopping the ball outside the box. He had a tricky shot, but he was a little slower and was saved by Courtois, who was tall and armed.

Ravitch's corner kick is given to goal, Thiago. Silva pressed Godin to grab the spot, and his header flew off the post, leaving the Sheets fans in a cold sweat, and the fans with bad seats even thought it was a goal. It wasn't PSG's best chance of the first half.

In the 27th minute, Matuidi broke the ball in the midfield and counterattacked, handing the ball to Shi Hao near the center circle. On a whim, Shi Hao dribbled continuously, and suddenly got up and down with his subtle small technique at high speed to break through Suarez and the chasing Koke. Lucas Jr. cut diagonally into the box to receive the ball, but the angle of his shot was already small. Under Miranda's interference, Lucas Jr. didn't have much room to move, so he could barely shoot low from a tight angle, and the ball crossed the goal.

Shi Hao's performance made Simone frown again and again. Although he considered the possibility of Paris repeating the tactics and formation of the last game against Chelsea, he did not expect Shi Hao to take on the role of a striker.

Since entering professional football, Shi Hao has played wingers and strikers in official matches, but he has never played the role of a striker.

After all, he was known for his blistering speed and ability to control the ball at high speeds, as well as his superb marksmanship, and he never showed any organizational talent in the game.

Now, Simeone has to face up to the threat that Shi Hao is showing in his new position.
