Chapter 224 The Winner Gets Griezmann

Not long after, the second cycle of the Champions League struck.

Barcelona faced Slavia Prague at home in the fourth round of the group stage.

Slavia Prague has now lost three of three games, and the only chance it has is to win the second round.

But facing Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​and Dortmund, their winning rate is too low.

And in the first game, they will face Barcelona at Camp Nou, which is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing for them.

The Slavia Prague players were ready to go all out, but they failed to play with the momentum they deserved.

In fact, when they came to Camp Nou and faced the roar of a hundred thousand people, their feet were already weak.

Facing Barcelona's bombardment again, they intuitively felt for the first time what the majesty of a wealthy home court is.

In this game, Yile was replaced during the halftime break, but even so, Barcelona still relied on Messi's side breakthroughs and sent the ball into the penalty area again and again.

Slavia Prague became a sieve.

This game became a nightmare they didn't want to remember.

Demoralized players, confused fans on the expedition and heartbroken die-hard fans back home.

They saw the top level in Europe, but the price was a heart full of scars.

Easily winning the fourth round, Barcelona won four consecutive group matches and confirmed promotion in advance.

Facing the next two rounds, they only need to win one game to advance to the top of the group.

Without the pressure of the Champions League, the team once again turned to the league.

The opponents in the next round of the league are fierce.

Atletico Madrid!

This team led by Simeone is different from the traditional Spanish playing style. Their steel defense has become a nightmare for all European teams.

And this time, they are going to challenge Barcelona!

There has been a lot of friction between the two teams recently.

The reason was Griezmann.

Faced with the issue of Griezmann's transfer, Atletico Madrid does not want to see Griezmann leave from top to bottom.

Barcelona is sparing no effort to promote the transfer.

The conflict between the two teams completely broke out.

Atletico wants to win this game and tell Griezmann that the title can also be won at Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona was beaten to death with one blow, and the decision to let Griezmann leave became even more determined.

Before the game, both sides were making harsh remarks.

Simeone said at the press conference: "We are not afraid of Barcelona. Although our winning rate in previous games is not high, it does not mean that we cannot win, and this is at our home court. We will tell Barcelona Man, what is defense?"

Reporter: "But Barcelona has become more offensive this year, and you know what I'm going to say."

Simeone nodded and said: "I understand that Yi's arrival has indeed added a lot of offensiveness to Barcelona, ​​but their current stability is an illusion. Once Yi loses his voice in the midfield, this team will become headless." fly."

The reporters looked at each other.

We all understand the truth, but what do you mean, how to restrict Yi Le? !

This is a problem across Europe today. If you say that Yi Le has no voice, there will be no voice. Can you say something specific?

But in this regard, Simeone said: "This is our tactic and I will not expose it to our enemies in advance."

The reporters were quite speechless. They didn't know whether Simeone was spreading suspicion or if he had really thought of a solution.

At this time, a reporter raised his hand and said: "I remember the last time Atletico Madrid faced Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid was defeated by Paris's no-forward formation. You...uh..."

Before the reporter finished speaking, he saw Simeone's angry eyes and was so frightened that he shut up immediately.

"That was an accident!" Simeone waved his hands irritably; "Besides, that was Paris Saint-Germain. What was the lineup of Paris at that time? They had Yi, they had Neymar, they had Mbappe, they had Di Maria, They have Kante, and Atletico Madrid lost because of the price, not the lineup."

The reporter said weakly: "But besides Yi, Barcelona also has Messi."

Simeone frowned and said, "Although I don't want to say it, we have to admit that Messi is old. Barcelona can't play dual-core, and the so-called forward-less formation will be strangled in the cradle."

Looking at the confident Simeone, reporters were dubious.

That night, major European media reported on the interview.

"Simone is full of confidence, they will make Barcelona suffer a defeat at Atletico Madrid's home court!" 》

"Can Atletico Madrid cut off Barcelona's winning streak?" 》

"Simone: This is our place!" 》

"The conflict completely broke out, Simeone said, Messi is old!" 》

Fueled by the media, Atletico Madrid fans also began to mock Barcelona crazily.

And Barcelona fans are not to be outdone. They say that Simeone is talking nonsense.

Messi can play for another five years!

Even Valverde, who has always been very low-key, publicly stated: "I don't think Atletico Madrid can restrict the trade. I don't know where Simeone's confidence comes from, but in fact, this is a common problem for all famous coaches in Europe. I'm lucky to have a player like Yi so I don't have to face this problem."

Valverde's remarks were pertinent, but there was a hint of frivolity in his tone.

This amused many Barcelona fans.

At the same time, they also supported Valverde's statement.

They believe that Yi Le is unsolvable.

Since his debut, Yi Le has been improving, and he is always able to come up with something new in dangerous moments.

Just like Yile at the beginning was a serious partial student, he couldn't shoot, his body was not strong, and except for his interception ability, he was scumbag in defense.

But who dares to say that Yi Le is not good now.

In FIFA's introduction, Yile was classified as an all-around midfielder.

This is an official certification, which shows Yile’s growth in the past few years.

Facing such easy music, how Atletico Madrid will restrict it is also something to look forward to.

After all, many head coaches have said similar things, but the final results show that they have not succeeded.

Of course, Simeone is different from other head coaches. He is a defensive expert and may really be able to come up with targeted methods.

After all, others restricted Yi Le for offense.

And he restricted Yi Le for defense.

Different starting points will lead to different results.

Atletico Madrid's steel defense + restricted Yile, so their defensive counterattack may not be impossible.

At this pace, more and more people are paying attention to this game.

Even if it is not the Spanish El Clasico that attracts worldwide attention, due to the accumulation of various contradictions, a considerable smell of gunpowder broke out on both sides.

Under the operation of the media, this game has even been defined to the level of 'Griezmann's ownership'.

The English Sun even published an interesting statement.

"Atletico Madrid VS Barcelona, ​​the winner gets Griezmann!" 》
