Thomas Crott has just come to talk to Ringer and ask him to perform well and try to finish at the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year.

Before Ringer could perform, the team suffered a setback.

On November 3, in the 12th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid went to challenge the Basque team Athletic Bilbao away.

Athletic Bilbao is a team that plays the Copa del Rey 24 times in its history, compared to Barcelona with 26 times, more than Real Madrid.

This team is characterized by a rough style of play and admiration for confrontation, and it is by no means the kind of Spanish team that plays technical streams.

Ringer's former Bayern team-mate Javi Martinez was born from Athletic Bilbao and carries with him the Basque tradition, with a fierce defence and excellent interceptions.

Athletic Bilbao are currently fifth in the La Liga table and are level on points with fourth-placed Villarreal, so they certainly won't be able to pass Atletico easily.

As a result, at Athletic Bilbao's new home stadium of San Mames this season, Atletico Madrid was stubbornly sniped.

In the first 20 minutes of the first half, Alda Turan was sent off by a tackle, and Simeone's protest on the sidelines was useless.

In the second half, substitute Turan went to play in the midfield of the youngster Baptistang was injured again, but fortunately, Atletico Madrid's own defense was still good, unable to score, but did not allow the opponent to score.

The game ended 0-0 with the Basques paying seven yellow cards, and their full-back Moran was sent off at the last minute for stopping Ringer and finally managed to draw at home to Atletico Madrid, picking up one point.

"We were robbed of two points by a mob!" Here are Simeone's words after the game.

However, the whole team has not had much to complain about, and everyone needs to hurry back to Madrid to prepare for the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in midweek. A win in this round would see Atletico Madrid qualify from the group two rounds earlier.

In this round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Rayo Vallecano 3-2 away, and the BBC made another contribution.

Barcelona also beat city rivals Espanyol 1-0 in the city derby, with Sanchez scoring the goal and Messi continuing to perform mediocre.

With all the rivals winning, Atletico Madrid is now three points behind Barcelona in the standings, leaving them three points ahead of Real Madrid.

On December 6, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid will face Vienna of Austria at home.

Since Atletico Madrid has won three in a row with nine points, six points ahead of third-place Porto, and this round will be between Zenit, who is in second place with four points, and Porto, who is three points, Atletico Madrid only needs to win at home to qualify for the group two rounds in advance.

Calderón Stadium, this Champions League home game was packed.

This is a Champions League qualifier, and the last time Atletico Madrid reached the knockout stages of the Champions League was in the 08/09 season, led by Sergio Aguero and Forlan.

It was five years ago, and now Atletico Madrid can once again reach the knockout stage of the Champions League, and the Sheets fans are looking forward to it.

"This is a game in which Atletico Madrid can qualify early, as long as this one can be won, Atletico Madrid can qualify early, and Ringer will also play in the knockout stages of the Champions League for the second season in a row." Yang Ma broadcast this key match of Atletico Madrid.

Austria Vienna suffered a 4-0 defeat at home to Atletico Madrid in their last game, and no one thought they could stop Atletico in their home game.

However, they did not make a surprise attack and created a good free-kick in the opening two minutes, which also hit the goal well and went just wide of the left post.

However, Atletico responded quickly, and in the 11th minute, Koke forced a save from the goalkeeper with a long-range shot from front of the penalty area, and Atletico Madrid won a corner.

Gabby whipped in a corner and the ball flew to the front of the post, where Miranda flicked the ball over and flicked it into the middle.

Ringer cut in from the middle and kicked the ball into the back of the net, flying under the crotch of the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

“Gooooool~~~~”

"Lin~~ Lin's goal, he helped the Sheets take the lead!!"

"Ringer~~ This is his 7th goal in the Champions League this season, which has surpassed his Champions League goals last season!"

It is true that the Austrian team is not very strong, and Ringer did not celebrate too much after the goal, because it was really easy for Atletico to beat them.

After taking the lead, Atletico continued to put pressure on their opponents.

In the 15th minute, Ringer picked up a cross from the right in the box, and Raul Garcia followed up and swept wide.

In the 18th minute, Felipe crossed from the side, and Costa's follow-up header was saved by the opposing goalkeeper.

However, in the 21st minute, Vienna was counterattacking, the opposing midfielder Mog received the ball in the penalty area and turned to hit the goal, the action was quite smooth, and he also played a great threat, the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal, fortunately, there was Courtois, he reacted quickly and flew to save the ball.

"Slow down~~Steady up~~ Steady up!!" Simeone on the sidelines was expressing his dissatisfaction, even if this loss, Atletico Madrid's Champions League qualification is not a big problem, but he doesn't want accidents, he wants to win the game steadily, and qualify two rounds early, so that he can put his energy on the domestic league more at ease.

With a slightly slower tempo, Atletico's attacking threat is even greater.

In the 25th minute, Ringer split the ball to the right after a one-two with Cork in the middle, and Diego Costa crossed with his feet and Raul Garcia headed home in front of goal.

“2:0~~2:0！！ There is basically no problem for the Sheets Corps to qualify early!! ”

Before the end of the first half, Atletico extended the score again.

In the 45th minute, about to enter injury time, Ringer held the ball and advanced quickly from the right side, to the front of the field to pass to Juanfran who was set down the edge, Juanfran crossed the middle, Koke followed up and was saved, Felipe came up to make up for the net.

“3:0~~3:0！ Atletico Madrid killed the game in the first half, and the Austrians were simply helpless in Madrid! ”

With a three-goal lead in the first half, there was no suspense in this game.

In the second half, Atletico slowed down the tempo and defended solidly, and Ringer was substituted in the 71st minute.

Upcoming weekend league, Atletico Madrid is going to play Villarreal away, the team that is currently in the 4th place in the standings, they have drawn with Real Madrid at home before, Simeone did not dare to be careless, the previous league game has been drawn, if it continues to win, it will really be opened up by Barcelona.

Adrian, who came on as substitute for Ringer, created a penalty in the 79th minute and Costa scored the ball before being contented to be substituted.

"At the end of the game, Atletico Madrid beat Austria Vienna 4-0 at home, 4-0 home and away, and Ringer also scored another goal in this game, and his Champions League goal tally has reached seven!"

"Lin, you're amazing!"

When Ringer walked to the sidelines at the end of the match, he saw the cute little boy Juan, but this time he was with a scruffy old man who seemed to be his grandfather.

Ringer gave him a thumbs up and walked back to the players' tunnel with his teammates, hearing what seemed to be a voice behind him: "How's it going, Grandpa?" I said I knew him ~~~"

"Champions League~~ Champion!! Champions League~~ Champion!! ”

At this time, Calderón Stadium was resounding with loud cheers.

Because in the same Group G match, Zenit St. Petersburg drew 1-1 at home to Porto, which means that Atletico Madrid can not only qualify for the group two rounds earlier, but also lock up the top spot in the group two rounds in advance, which makes the Sheets fans quite happy.

At present, after four rounds of the group stage, Atletico Madrid is at the top of the table with 12 points from 4 consecutive wins, the second is Zenit with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss with 5 points, the third is Porto with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses with 4 points, and Austria Vienna has only one draw in 4 games and only gets a pitiful 1 point.
