Chapter 300: Going Out and Closing Together

Dortmund defeated Atletico Madrid 3-0 at home, not only in terms of score, but also completely suppressed Atletico Madrid on the field.

Atletico Madrid was beaten almost defenselessly.

After the game, the major media and the Internet were talking about this game.

Because the process of this game is so unexpected by everyone.

Before the game, everyone thought that this game would be a close match. The two teams are very close in strength.

Some even think that Dortmund may be slightly inferior even if they play at home.

After all, they are now ahead of Bayern Munich in the league, but not much ahead, and a reversal could happen at any time. Distraction in the league will inevitably affect the Champions League......

Coupled with the fact that Atletico Madrid have been in excellent form recently, they may not be at a disadvantage when they play Dortmund away from home.

Unexpectedly, after the game started, within ten minutes, Dortmund completely stunned Atletico Madrid.

Not to mention the Atletico Madrid players, the fans of Atletico Madrid did not expect it at all.

After watching the game, many people would even think that Atletico Madrid lost only three goals because Atletico Madrid was lucky......

The media believed that Dortmund's 3:0 had almost knocked out the suspense of the second leg.

“...... No team can lose 0:3 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and the second leg can be reversed, whether it is home or away!"

"Atletico Madrid has said goodbye to the Champions League early. They have been very good this season, but they have not been able to break through the Champions League semi-finals......"

'Simeone refuses to throw in the towel, and we have to do that as the manager of the team. Because if he doesn't, the morale of the team will be completely broken...... But the reality is that Atletico Madrid can't turn it around at home......"

'Conceded three goals in the first leg and came home to win on a comeback – how easy would it be if Atletico Madrid had an away goal in the first leg but they didn't ...... In this way, even if they win 3-0 at their home stadium, they will only drag the game into extra time...... To qualify directly, they need to score four goals while keeping Dortmund from scoring, and once Dortmund score a goal, it would be the end of the world for Atletico Madrid......"

Even the Spanish media are not optimistic about Simeone's team.

I think this game was a wake-up call for Simeone and that he has to put all his energy into the league now to make sure he can win the league title. The Champions League is too difficult, but the league title is still possible.

But if Simeone insists on expending a lot of energy in the Champions League, it is difficult to say what the outcome of the league will be......

Regardless of Atletico Madrid, they are now four points ahead of second-placed Barcelona, but there are four league games left, and the final round of the league is a direct meeting between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, and this is at Barcelona's home stadium.

So Barcelona still has a chance to reverse Atletico Madrid and win the league title this season.

If Atletico Madrid play on two fronts and are more distracted by the Champions League, it will be difficult for them to maintain a consistent performance in the league.

Now the defeat away to Borussia Dortmund is just a good omen, telling Simeone to stop playing on two fronts, shrink the front and focus on the league.

In fact, it is not only Atletico Madrid that needs to fight on two fronts, but also Dortmund.

However, they are in a better situation than Atletico Madrid, who beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 on the night and can at least devote more energy to the league for the time being.

The next day, the second day of Champions League matches, it was the turn of the showdown between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich's schedule is more favourable than Borussia Dortmund's, as they are away and then home.

The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is more closely watched than the match between Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. The matchup between these two teams is known as the "European Derby", which shows the importance of the match between them.

In addition, Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola used to coach Barcelona before, and he played against Real Madrid many times during that period, and he can be regarded as an enemy.

Barcelona has been eliminated from the competition, and in line with the simple "I can't have a good life, don't think about it" among the fans of the bitter enemy, Barcelona fans hope that Pep Guardiola can lead Bayern Munich to eliminate Real Madrid.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Bayern Munich only lost 0:1 to Real Madrid away from home. Although the game was lost, the result was satisfying.

After all, it was an away game, and it was gratifying not to score an away goal, but it was only a goal loss, and Bayern Munich could easily close the gap when they returned to home.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, is in a precarious situation.

Don't look at them to win, it's no different if they only lead by one goal and draw the game.

After a round of Champions League semi-finals, the media are optimistic that the Bundesliga giants will meet in the Champions League final again.

The Chinese media can't wait to start analysing why the Bundesliga teams are so competitive in the Champions League now.

Various reasons have been found, such as the healthy financial philosophy pursued by the Bundesliga, such as the Bundesliga's emphasis on the cultivation of youth strength......

The Chinese media hope that the experience of the Bundesliga will inspire Chinese football.

Now a group of geniuses have emerged in Chinese football, and they have entered the World Cup finals for the second time, and the leaders above are also more interested in football, and the enthusiasm of the masses across the country to participate in football is unprecedentedly high......

If the higher-level football management department just lies on the current score book and sleeps, then Chinese football will once again lose the excellent opportunity for development and progress - the last time the Chinese team reached the finals of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Chinese society also had such conditions, but China's football sports authorities failed to seize this opportunity, resulting in Chinese football falling into a long-term trough.

In addition, there is an interesting vignette on the Chinese network.

After the match between Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, Zhou Yi, who had not updated his Weibo for a long time, suddenly posted a Weibo.

The content is very simple, just one sentence: "Behind closed doors, go out and go out." ”

But everyone knows what he means - before the game, there was a football commentator who was very famous but also very controversial in China, criticizing Dortmund's practice of closed training, using the idiom "behind closed doors".

"Behind closed doors" is a well-known idiom in China, which is used to satirize the practice of those who do not conduct research and do things only on subjective imagination. Criticizing those who do so is self-contained and does not conform to objective reality.

This is an absolutely derogatory term.

But in fact, this means that the idiom has been misunderstood over a long period of time......

The original source of this idiom is Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty in the fifth volume of "Or Ask": "The ancient saying 'make a car behind closed doors, go out and go together', covers the same law." ”

Willing to say that as long as you follow the same specifications and methods, even if you build a car behind closed doors, you can drive it out to meet the rutting specifications on the outside and drive smoothly on the road......

It's the exact opposite of what is popular now.

But there are many people who know the meaning of the former, and not many people know the meaning of the latter.

When it comes to working behind closed doors, everyone will think of the idiom "behind closed doors".

So the well-known sports big V used "behind closed doors" to criticize and satirize Dortmund's closed training, which seems to be fine.

It's just that I didn't expect the Dortmund chariot to drive out behind closed doors, but it went in unison and crushed Atletico Madrid into a pulp......

That's ironic.

So Zhou Yi used the original intention of working behind closed doors to respond to the criticism of the sports V.

You must know that at that time, the sports V, who had five million fans, was still very influential on Weibo, and his Weibo was naturally forwarded and commented on by countless people. Many people followed him, thinking that Dortmund's closed training camp was simply a reversal of history, which was really a stupid move.

At that time, Zhou Yi did not express any opinion online, and he had not appeared on Weibo for several months before that.

No one expected that Zhou Yi would hide on the net and dive in the dark, and see all this in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, just because he wanted to speak with facts......

Now that the results of the game are out, of course he will not let go of that sports big V again.

posted such a Weibo, and criticized the big V who wanted to take the opportunity to make a big news without naming him.

This big V is a famous football commentator, but his reputation on the Internet is actually mixed, some people support him and like his true temperament, but some people hate his big mouth.

Before Zhou Yi was silent, although those who hated him also had opinions on him, there were few people, and there were no facts to make a result, and what he said with empty white teeth had no influence.

Zhou Yi's words set an example for those who are not used to this big V, and led the way, and for a while, the Internet was full of ridicule and criticism of this big V......

And what about Zhou Yi? After once again setting off a "bloody storm" on the Internet, he disappeared again.

After all, the next schedule is also very hard, and he doesn't have time for a war of words online......

The big V didn't say anything, after all, the facts are here, Dortmund, who "made a car behind closed doors", fought a beautiful turnaround, in the face of this iron-like result, no matter how powerful the big V's mouth is, Dortmund's victory can't be said to be a failure, right?

I had to suffer this dumb loss......
