Granada CF is a promoted horse from the Spanish Primera Division, but this is not a completely new team for Atletico Madrid, who played a warm-up match with Granada CF in August, when their manager was still Fabri Gonzalez, who led Granada CF to sixth place in La Liga and miraculously led the team through the La Liga promotion play-offs, becoming one of the three teams to enter La Liga. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

That warm-up game, Wan Sheng still remembers it vividly.

Fabri Gonzalez kept emphasizing the quality of his team before the game, and despite their big defeat to Atletico Madrid, Fabri Gonzalez seemed unconvinced and spoke very hard.

At that time, Wan Sheng thought that Fabri Gonzalez might become the first manager to be sacked among the 20 teams in La Liga.

Really......

Faster than Wan Sheng imagined, before La Liga even started, Fabri Gonzalez was sacked.

The Granada CF club said that it believed that Fabri Gonzalez's ability was not enough to lead the team to relegation in La Liga, but in fact, the grapevine pointed out that Fabri González had a conflict with the club's board of directors on the transfer issue, and he insisted on his own opinion and did not listen to the advice of others, and as a result, he was fired by the club.

After that, Granada brought in 54-year-old homegrown coach Ankra.

Ankra was in charge of Aigogan from 2006 until the end of last season, and last season, he led the team to a fourth-place finish in La Liga and qualified for the promotion play-offs, but unfortunately the team was defeated by Valladolid after losing the relegation boot Grass, and failed to advance to La Liga.

"Despite his experience in La Liga, it remains to be seen whether Ankra can adapt to the rhythm of La Liga."

Ankra did one thing when he took office - brought in Moroccan striker El Arabi for a whopping €5 million.

This is regarded by many media as a "gamble with extremely high unknowns".

On the basis of the original Granada CF lineup, adding a 5 million euro El Arabi, Granada CF wants to gain a foothold in La Liga is also very difficult, so far in seven games, Granada CF has only won one, drawn one, and ranks 19th in La Liga with 4 points.

Such a dismal result makes fans see no hope of relegation.

Ankora's pressure can be imagined.

This game against Atletico Madrid was also considered an 'impossible game', but Atletico Madrid's squad gave Ancla hope, and most of the substitutes sent by Atletico Madrid were not included in the squad.

"Atletico Madrid is heavily affected by the international break." This is evident.

Wansheng also has no way.

During the international break, the players who participated in the national team were not in good physical condition, not to mention, and then there was the Champions League group stage with Manchester City, compared to which the Champions League group stage was more important, and an opponent like Granada was better to let the substitute team solve it.

Atletico Madrid's substitute lineup is still a lot worse.

Although the strength of Isco, Raphael Varane and Wang Qiuming's players is not bad, there is still a big gap between them and the main lineup, especially in the midfield, when Morris and Raul Garcia did not play, the team's attack feels like it is lacking in confidence, and J Rodriguez's organizational ability is still poor.

In the end, CF Granada drew 1-1 at home to Atletico Madrid.

In the game, Granada CF was not bad luck.

Athletic Marder pressed but struggled to find a shot on goal, with Granada CF defending with all their might, and the only shot of the game was scored by Moroccan striker El Arabi.

With this goal, Granada CF drew with Atletico Madrid.

The biggest focus after the game was on Moroccan striker El Arabi, this is his third goal for Granada, three goals don't seem like much, but you know, to this Granada CF all goals are only 5, El Arabi scored three personally, you can imagine how important his position in Granada is.

'El Arabi is very efficient and if it were at Atletico he would probably be no worse than Diego Costa.

The media's evaluation of El Arabi is still relatively high.

Wan Sheng laughed at this.

Draw Granada CF, Wan Sheng also feels a little regretful, losing two points in the small club always makes people feel depressed, in the process of this game, maybe not adapted to the away atmosphere, the team's overall performance is very average, some players are playing well, but the whole team lacks luck, only one of the 11 shots on goal is proof.

In the second half, Falcao came off the bench but did not improve the problem in front of goal.

It can only be said that anything can be found in football matches, and the Atletico Madrid substitute team is also much better than Granada CF, but in the end they only drew the game.

After the game, some media also asked El Arabi's question, and they hoped that Wan Sheng would comment on El Arabi's performance.

In terms of commenting on players, Wansheng is very important, and many people think that in world football, Wansheng's vision is the most accurate.

Wan Sheng just smiled at this and said, "His performance is very good, compared to the value of 5 million euros, it is still very good value." "That means that CF Granada is making a deal that doesn't lose money.

Some media outlets were unhappy with Wansheng's answer, arguing that El Arabi was a striker who was no less efficient than Diego Costa.

Wan Sheng ignored it.

El Arabi's efficiency is good, and the only good opportunity in this game was also seized by him, but this does not prove how strong El Arabi's ability is, the media's so-called 'not worse than Diego Costa in Atletico Madrid' is a complete joke, you know, what tactics is Atletico Madrid, "B-TF" full attack and defense, will give the front, midfield, and backfield players have the opportunity to come forward to shoot, so the number of goals scored by Atletico Madrid players is still very average, so far in the league and the Champions League, Diego Costa has scored 4 goals, Mesut Ozil scored 4 goals, Falcao 3, Morris 3 goals, J Rodriguez 3 goals, and many other players, such as right-back Felipe Kasmirski, Klose, Raul Garcia, Isco, Mario Suarez and many other players also scored, which shows how average the goals of Atletico Madrid players are, and how many chances are divided as a striker at Atletico Madrid.

As a striker goalscorer, it's pretty good for Diego Costa to score 4 goals in this situation.

It's a different story at Granada CF, where El Arabi has spent most of every game and he has scored three goals so far, which can only be regarded as a qualified statistic, not at all conspicuous.

Wan Sheng was not in the mood to explain these things to the media, and after the match against Granada CF, the whole Atletico Madrid team went straight back to Madrid.

The next day, the team resumed normal training.

Atletico Madrid don't have time to rest as they are about to play their third Champions League group game.

"It's a 'life and death' battle."

Of course, that's for Manchester City, who have just overtaken Manchester United to top the Premier League and will host Atletico Madrid, although they are about to start a Manchester derby with Manchester United, but given that the outcome of the game will be directly related to whether Manchester City can qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, it is certain that Manchester City will give their all in the game.

Coach Roberto Mancini admitted: "The derby matter can be put aside for a while, and at the moment, Villarreal is more important than Manchester United. ”

Manchester City's prospects of qualifying for Group A of the Champions League are not very good, with only one point from their defeat to Bayern Munich in the last round of the Champions League, and if they cannot beat Atletico Madrid to take all three points, they may only be able to play in the Europa League (third in the group).

"The battle for the top spot in the Premier League is important, but the league is still a long way off, and even if we lose to Manchester United, we still have a chance to regain the top spot." The Guardian commented.

'Everybody talks about the derby against Manchester United and I can understand that, it's exciting, but I need the players to focus on the Champions League first and that's important for us.'

Manchester City have no choice but to save time for a derby clash and are looking to beat Atletico Madrid at home. The Champions League is a bit easier for United, who travel to Romania to take on Galaat, and the weakness of their opponents also makes it possible for United to rotate.

In fact, this game was special for both teams, as it was the first time Wan Sheng had met his old club since he left.

Wansheng and Manchester City, there are so many stories.

It's hard to define simply in terms of the team and the manager.

In the Manchester City team, there are many players who have been under Wan Sheng before, and the most noteworthy are undoubtedly the main goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei and the core of the midfield, David Silva, the two of whom were almost brought out by Wan Sheng.

In addition, in Manchester City's main lineup, Lescott can also be regarded as Wansheng's 'descendant', and Aguero also transferred to Manchester City from Atletico Madrid before.

When the match between Atletico Madrid and Granada CF ended, the Spanish and English media began to hype the match.

This is the highlight of the Champions League group stage.

But the game is the focus, but it has nothing to do with the strength of the two teams, the main core is still Wan Sheng, Manchester City, how many media reporters want to interview Wan Sheng can be imagined.

Before leaving for Manchester, Wan Sheng did not meet with any reporters, and he refused to talk about the problems between himself and Manchester City, but this did not hinder the enthusiasm of media reporters, many Spanish media reporters rushed to Manchester to cover the news, even ordinary Manchester City fans, can be their interviews.
