Chapter 228 The Hero of Atletico Madrid!

In the Champions League round of 16 draw, two of the eight teams in the second group are traditional giants, that is, AC Milan and Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich is a team in Group A and will definitely not meet Atletico Madrid, so as long as Atletico Madrid does not draw AC Milan, it will be a 'good sign'.

Arsenal are more dangerous, they may encounter AC Milan, they may encounter Bayern Munich.

After Wan Sheng and Wenger 'blessed' each other, they returned to their respective positions and waited for the lottery to begin.

UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino took the stage to preside over the draw ceremony. Before the draw, he first praised Barcelona, ​​who beat the Asian champions in the World Club Cup. Last season, Barcelona won the Champions League for UEFA. honor.

After that, the big screen began to play a short video, which introduced the 16 teams that advanced.

The draw ceremony officially started. German legend Paul Brackner attended as a special guest and drew an opponent for Atlético de Madrid, the top team in Group A.

The paper unfolds, and the top line represents the club's name in English, "F-C-Basel!"

The audience burst into applause.

Wan Sheng stood up with a smile, waved his hands around him, and looked in the direction of Basel coach Vogel.

Vogel also stood up and nodded in response.

Vogel is a German and very young, only 37 years old. Compared with Wansheng, Vogel is unknown. Even in the era of professional players, he has always played for lower league teams. When the professional players couldn't play, he switched careers as a coach. From 1998 to 2007, Walker coached Bayern Munich's youth teams at all levels.

In 2007, Walker followed Funk to Ingolstadt, a German third-party team, as an assistant to the division, and then followed Funk to coach Basel as an assistant coach.

On October 13 this year, Fink left Basel to coach Hamburg, Germany. On the same day, Vogel was appointed as the head coach, and Basel gave him a chance for half a year.

Vogel is the first professional team coach. At the age of 37, he was able to coach the top Swiss team. In fact, he was very successful, but whether he can persevere is still a huge question.

However, Vogel has led the team to play a wonderful game, and the home defeat to Ajax proved his ability, so Basel was able to qualify for the group.

Now he has met Atletico Madrid.

After Wansheng and Walker said hello, they continued to watch the draw ceremony. After that, the collisions were drawn out one by one. The two most watched matches were Bayern Munich and Chelsea, AC Milan and Arsenal, especially when the guests represented Arsenal. When they were drawn to AC Milan, Wan Sheng turned his head to look in the direction of Wenger. Wenger looked at him with a cold face, and almost wrote the words "crow's mouth" on his face.

English people are not expected to be in a good mood.

England has two teams that entered the Champions League round of 16, but they ran into Bayern Munich and AC Milan respectively. This kind of luck... how bad is it!

By comparison, other collisions are nothing.

Atletico Madrid is not the one with the best luck. After the draw is over, everyone is concerned about Lyon.

In the last round, Lyon was considered to be a match-fixer, and the Champions League draw again encountered the 'worst' Greek Athletics. Some media and fans began to think about it again. It is no wonder that the media and fans thought so. In the last round of Lyon There are too many strange things in the game. They just made it out of the group, and they met the weakest team in the draw. How could luck be so good?

Many people have begun to suspect that UEFA manipulates the 'drawing', but there are similar things every year, every year there are various dissatisfactions, and clubs that often participate in the Champions League have long been used to it.

Atletico Madrid's luck is not bad, Basel is an opponent, at least there is little obstacle to advance to the quarter-finals.

In an interview after the game, Wan Sheng only talked about his team. The reporter asked how he felt about drawing Basel. Wan Sheng said, "I said before, no matter which opponent we have, we will enter the quarterfinals! This sentence. It doesn't make much difference to any opponent, I believe we will successfully advance."

A reporter brought the original words of Wansheng to Basel coach Vogel, and Vogel was not satisfied. Even if Atletico Madrid is very strong, Basel cannot be underestimated!

How they are also the number one team in Switzerland!

So Vogel said, "I don't understand why some people definitely say they will advance before the fight. This is contempt for the opponent. What will they say if they lose the game? Has he thought about it?"

To this Wansheng only replied, "Sorry, no if!"

After that, Wansheng stopped talking about Basel. In his opinion, it is completely meaningless to fight with Basel and the "novice" coaches who are not well-known in Basel.

After the draw for the Champions League round of 16, La Liga ushered in the 16th round. Atletico Madrid beat Espanyol 1-0 away.

Starting from the 2-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the tenth round of the league, Atlético de Madrid has won 7 consecutive victories, especially after beating Real Madrid by a big score on the road, they have returned to the first place in the league.

The 16th round is also a crucial round, because this round has the Spanish national derby.

Atlético de Madrid can reap the benefits.

Barcelona did not "disappoint" Atletico Madrid. In this game at the Bernabeu Stadium, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-1. It is worth noting that C-Ronaldo became the sinner of Real Madrid's loss.

2011 is about to come to an end, the Ballon d'Or nomination has become a matter of concern to many, and in the final three-man shortlist, Messi, Xavi and C-Ronaldo will compete for the top honor.

It is normal for Messi and Xavi to enter the top three, because Barcelona was the European champion last year, and the selection of C-Ronaldo is completely supported by fans.

"Maybe it has something to do with his appearance." Many people speculated maliciously.

But in any case, C-Ronaldo's support is still very high. In the poll on the official website of "France Football", C-Ronaldo's network support rate is as high as two-thirds.

"I know that my performance is great, I deserve it!" C-Ronaldo released a rhetoric.

But it turned out that he didn't deserve it.

In this most crucial national derby, C-Ronaldo not only misfired again, but also directly played the role of "Barcelona's 12th man".

On this night, the Portuguese became the number one undercover agent at the Bernabeu.

Compared with the world's top midfielders, C-Ronaldo lacks enough overall view. He usually plays the role of a finisher, but in the game, he does not play this role well.

In the whole game, C-Ronaldo shot a total of 7 times, but none of them created a real threat to Valdes.

Of C-Ronaldo's 7 shots, 4 came from direct free kicks.

"C-Romane named his powerful set-piece the Tomahawk, but tonight he played like a prisoner of war."

C-Ronaldo's 4 free kicks, only one of which crossed the wall. This shot, which lacked speed, strength and angle, was easily captured by Valdes, and the other three shots were equally impressive. Incredible.

"If Ronaldo could be more generous on the pitch, he would become a better player and Real Madrid would benefit from it," said former Real Madrid assistant Angel Capa.

C-Ronaldo, who has missed opportunities in a row, has also become the target of 80,000 fans at the Bernabeu to vent their anger.

By the end of the game, Ronaldo would hear boos from his fans every time he touched the ball.

"When you played against Barcelona, ​​you were always so unlucky!" A Real Madrid fan scolded C-Ronaldo and was caught by the live sound collector.

"Losing this national derby, the difference between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is 5 points. 5 points is not an absolute difference. They still have hope of winning the championship."

"Spanish Football News" commented, "But the psychological damage of the home fans to Ronaldo is difficult to smooth out with time."

After this round, Atletico Madrid had no time to reminisce about the joy of opening the gap, and welcomed Albacete at home.

This is the second leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.

Facing this West C team at home, there was no unfortunate weather such as rain. Atletico Madrid used a set of substitutes to win very easily.

4 to 0.

Atletico Madrid did not give Albacete any chance.

Then comes the 17th round of La Liga on December 18, the last game before Christmas, when Atletico Madrid host Real Betis.

In the last season, Betis locked in the Champions League in advance. In 42 La Liga matches, Betis has a record of 25 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses.

Betis, who scored 85 goals, is the team with the most goals in the Western Division. And Betis, who conceded 44 goals, is also the fourth-fewest team in the Western Division II.

In the summer, Betis lost the main center Pavoni and the main attacking midfielder Emana, but they also got the monster striker Montero from Villarreal. Montero scored 7 in a single game in the warm-up match. The ball, while also renting Santa Cruz from Manchester City.

At the same time, the three defenders of Nelson, Zika and Ustaritz are all at the main level of the second-tier La Liga teams in terms of strength.

The overall strength of Real Betis is not bad, but they are only in the middle of the league at most, and they are not too big a threat to Atletico Madrid.

Before the game, Wansheng mainly told the players to play seriously, "This is the last game. After the game, you can spend Christmas with your family. No one wants to spend the holiday with a bad mood. ?"

This sentence reminds all players.

They didn't care much about their opponents, but now they know it's time to take it seriously.

In fact, Wansheng also has a headache for the team's fighting spirit. The team has fighting spirit and can win consecutively, which will also make the players in the team more confident in the team's strength, resulting in a series of mental problems such as arrogance and carelessness. Dina - McGovern can't do all the work, she can only adjust the players' hearts one-on-one, and it's impossible to eliminate all problems. Fortunately, so far, the team has not had too many problems.

At the Calderon Stadium, Atletico Madrid played well as a whole, but for the first time there was a problem with the efficiency of the striker.

Diego Costa, who started the game, failed to score the ball several times, as did Ozil on the wing. At midfield, the score between the two teams was still 0-0.

Wan Sheng felt a headache.

In the second half, Falcao replaced Diego Costa, but the problem still exists. Atletico Madrid lost the ball. After half an hour, they still failed to break the Real Betis goal.

Wan Sheng looked at the bench again.

This time he simply replaced Ozil and replaced Ozil with Wang Qiuming.

"Wang played! He replaced Ozil, playing as a left forward!" This substitution surprised the stadium broadcaster Juan Andres, "Wansheng must be hoping to score goals. Second missed opportunity, Falcao is not very efficient, will Wang help Atletico Madrid score?"

Every fan has questions.

Wang Qiuming's performance is also good, but he is a young teenager after all, and he can only serve as a substitute. There is still a gap in the ability of stars such as Ozil and Falcao.

But Wan Sheng didn't see it that way.

Which player he puts on the field, the most important thing is the state. The "Eye of State Evaluation" can help him understand the state of each player. Ozil is obviously not in shape. His state evaluation value is only '71', which is a disqualification. , and Wang Qiuming's state evaluation is '93'. Even if his ability is slightly worse, he will definitely play better than Ozil after playing.

Of course, good form does not mean good performance in all places. Ozil is Ozil after all. If he is not in good form, his ability is enough to drive Atletico Madrid's left offensive. Wang Qiuming is inferior in personal ability. It's hard to lead the way by yourself. When you get to the game, you don't get a lot of balls, and your performance isn't so eye-catching.

However, Wang Qiuming is in good shape!

As a striker, good form means high efficiency in front of goal!

In the 86th minute of the game, Wang Qiuming got a chance. This was a back pass from Falcao's heel. Falcao dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was blocked. Then he knocked the ball out with his heel.

Wang Qiuming hit the ball with a volley!

The football only rushed to the near corner of the goal. Real Betis goalkeeper Casto tried his best to save, but he still failed to touch the ball.

The ball is in!

“Goooooooooooool!!!”

Atlético de Madrid fans boiled over as the shouts of Juan Andres broadcasted at the Calderon Stadium, and they waited nearly 90 minutes for the goal.

This is a lore!

Before Real Betis thought about taking a point at Calderon Stadium, it was a very good result, but with this goal, their 'dream' was shattered, and they could only shake their heads regretfully.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Real Betis 1-0.

It's hard to see what the game looks like from the score, but anyone who has watched it knows how dangerous it is.

Wang Qiuming became the hero of Atlético de Madrid.

After the game, many media praised Wang Qiuming for his ability to stand up to Atletico Madrid's crisis. They also praised Wansheng for his decisive substitution. It was Wansheng's successful substitution adjustment that allowed Atletico Madrid to complete the goal. .

In faraway China, the media and fans also had crazy discussions...
