Super Marshal

Every time the results of the UEFA Champions League draw are released, there are joys and sorrows for several teams.

Soon, various conspiracy theories emerged.

Anyway, the rules are there, no matter who is drawn, it is impossible to make all the teams happy.

However, the 16 teams participating in the second stage of the group stage began to hurry up and prepare for the battle.

In the intensive schedule of the first stage of the group stage, Atletico Madrid's physical fitness and state were adjusted well, and the team's rotation was also orderly, so the team decided to continue after summarizing their experience.

Between the two stages of the group stage, there was a total of more than two weeks. Gao Han rotated in the league and handed over the players to physical coach Buenaventura for special training in batches to prepare for the next second stage. Prepare for the race.

However, Atletico Madrid still defeated the Espanyol and Real Betis with 2-1 away and 1-0 at home, respectively, and soon ushered in the first game of the second group stage.

Home vs. Rome!

This season, Capello's team did not perform well in Serie A. They just lost 0-3 to Parma in the league.

At present, there have been eleven rounds in Serie A. Roma has four wins, four draws and three losses, scoring 21 goals and conceding 19 goals, ranking ninth in the league.

But in the Champions League, Capello's team's performance was a bit dumbfounding.

With two wins, three draws and one loss in the group stage, they ranked second in the group after Real Madrid.

Interestingly, they only scored three goals. Among the 32 participating teams, they ranked third from the bottom, only one goal more than Sparta Moscow, which lost all six games, and Genk of Belgium in the same group.

But Capello's team only conceded four goals in the six rounds of the group stage. Excluding the 0-3 loss to Real Madrid in the first round, they only conceded one goal in the remaining five rounds. The defense is quite good.

This data is enough to see that Capello's team is a typical one-to-zero team.

But if Roma is underestimated because of this, then any team will pay the price, including Real Madrid.

Galactico considers itself to be strong offensively, so after a 3-0 away win in the first round, the two sides met in the second round, and wanted to eat Roma in one bite at the Bernabéu, but was beaten 1-0 by Capello's team.

With the lessons learned from Real Madrid, Gao Han did not dare to be careless.

In the face of Atlético de Madrid, which is in a state of overwhelming momentum and winning consecutive victories, Capello also dare not underestimate the enemy.

In order to better suppress Atletico Madrid's midfielder, Capello adjusted the formation to 442.

It was the formation they used in their surprise win over Real Madrid at the Bernabéu.

The goalkeeper is Antonioli, the defense is Cande LS Muer, Zebina and Panucci, the midfielders are Delvecchio, Lima, Emerson and Cafu, and the double striker is Cassano's partner Totti.

Argentine veteran center Baptista sat on the bench.

Not only that, under Capello's careful arrangement, Roma also played a rush attack from the beginning.

In just three minutes, Roma seized the loophole on Marchena's side after a continuous pass from the midfielder, passed the left rib straight to the penalty area, and Cassano made a low shot from close range.

Fortunately, Cech reacted quickly and flew to save the ball, barely resolving a scoring crisis.

But the head start of the Roma team still surprised Atletico Madrid from top to bottom.

…………

…………

"The team trained by Capello is not easy at all!"

Standing under the canopy of the coach's bench at the Calderon Stadium in Madrid, Gao Han sighed softly.

A cloud of white smoke rose faintly before his eyes.

It is now the end of November and the twelfth lunar month is beginning to usher in the winter. Madrid has just had a rain, the air is cold and humid, and the field is also wet and slippery. unfavorable.

The reason why Marchena failed to seal the hole in the left rib immediately was because he almost slipped and fell, and was half a beat behind.

"This rain came suddenly, we were caught off guard, and they must not be much better." Cantarero said.

Gao Han nodded, both teams were defenseless.

Even because of this sudden rain, many pre-match preparations for the team were completely useless.

But some things cannot be changed.

"Tell them that the opening attack is our specialty, don't lose to the opponent!" Gao Han smiled confidently.

"I want to see if Capello really dares to play against me!"

Even Gao Han is eager for Rome to come out and fight.

Cantarero is also accustomed to obeying Gao Han's orders, and immediately walked to the sidelines to convey his meaning to the court.

…………

…………

With the adjustment of the cold, on the court, Atletico Madrid began to put pressure on Roma.

Soon, Villa got a chance on the left and hit a long shot.

But the angle of this shot was too straight, and it was easily picked off by goalkeeper Antonioli, and there was no threat at all.

Soon, still on the left, Villa forcefully dribbled the ball and failed to break through, then crossed the middle, Samuel intercepted halfway, and the ball landed at Kaka's feet.

As soon as the Brazilian midfielder got the ball, he made a precise through ball and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Antonioli made a decisive attack and confiscated the ball before Torres.

But soon, Atlético de Madrid once again organized an offensive. Dario Srna moved forward. After forming a cooperation with Torres, he made a low pass from the right to the goal, and Villa quickly inserted back.

Just when Villa was about to break the goal, goalkeeper Antonioli hit the ball with a single fist, once again resolving the crisis.

Continuous waves of fierce offensives, although they failed to form a goal, helped Atletico Madrid regain control of the situation on the field.

As expected by Gao Han, Capello did not dare to rush forward easily, and began to defend his own half, intending to defend and counterattack.

But Gao Han is no longer the fledgling kid he was two years ago.

After two seasons of training, Gao Han Shendu took advantage of the trend on the court and got twice the result with half the effort.

So he immediately adjusted the team again and asked the whole team to speed up. At the same time, he continuously used two four-star assault cards and offensive cards in the coaching system to form a combination card effect of rapid advancement and strengthen the offensive.

After this continuous action, Atletico Madrid began to exert more pressure on Roma on the court.

Let Roma's entire midfield and backcourt feel like they are facing a big enemy, everyone is trembling, everyone is walking on thin ice, for fear of making mistakes.

But sometimes the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.

In the 23rd minute, after Atletico Madrid made consecutive passes, Kaka hit the Roma defense with the ball, and after attracting the attention of the two Brazilian compatriots, Emerson and Lima, he suddenly distributed the ball to Deco who inserted in the back .

Deco took the ball and gave another sharp through pass, trying to pass behind the defense.

This coordination line has been played before, and Roma is mentally prepared. Panucci blocked the ball's running line in time, and wanted to destroy the ball with a big foot to make a clearance.

Unexpectedly, Deco's through ball with a strong spin on the ground, coupled with the slippery grass, Panucci's hastily made a clearance, and he missed the correct position. Not only did he fail to clear the siege, but instead Let yourself stagger, slip and fall to the ground.

How could Villa, who had been in ambush for a long time, miss such a godsend opportunity, quickly inserted from behind, and caught up with the ball in the penalty area.

But at this time, Roma's central defender Samuel has also chased back in place.

One on one!

As the top scorer in La Liga, Villa's scoring ability has always been daunting, but he can not only score.

Fast and sharp breakthrough with the ball, which is also Villa's forte.

I saw that Villa, with the blessing of the four-star assault card, caught up with the ball, first stopped suddenly, and then made a realistic fake move, tricking Samuel into thinking that he was about to make a bottom pass, but suddenly changed Cut inward to the middle, after shaking Samuel away, he rolled a curve ball with his right foot.

With a strong spin, the ball took a weird arc and crashed into the upper right corner of the goal!

dead end!

Antonioli beyond reach!

One to zero!

The entire Olympic Stadium became silent at first, and then came the anger and roar of the Roman fans.

But on the field, Villa and Atletico Madrid players celebrated wildly.

Gao Han clenched his fists and shouted excitedly on the sidelines.

ahead!

"This game will be easier to play!" Cantarero also breathed a sigh of relief.

The surrounding coaching staff also nodded.

Who said no?

The biggest headache for Serie A teams is their defense, especially Capello's Roma.

They were able to beat Real Madrid 1-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium, relying on their unbreakable defense.

Now, Atletico Madrid has a one-goal lead and has the initiative.

Now it's Capello's turn to have a headache.

"It's all to blame for the damn heavy rain!" Gao Han laughed from ear to ear.

Atletico Madrid made the same mistake just now, and Marchena almost slipped and fell.

Even if Cech hadn't kept the goal at a critical moment that time, I'm afraid the situation would have been completely rewritten now.

But there is a saying that is good, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune.

Roma failed to seize the opportunity, and naturally it was Atletico Madrid's turn.

…………

…………

Facts have proved that Capello really wanted to counterattack.

But that was already the second half.

Throughout the first half, after losing the ball, Roma played relatively conservatively, mainly considering stabilizing the team's defense and blocking Atletico Madrid's offensive, which made it difficult for the home team to invest in the offensive end.

But in the second half, the two sides fought more intensely.

The Roma team even played a very threatening offensive after the opening, especially in the 57th minute, Roma cooperated with Panucci and Cafu on the right. Ti Da stopped the ball in the chest in the penalty area and volleyed the goal from close range.

But Petr Cech, who was becoming more and more stable, faced the shot that was close at hand, and flew like a god, and saved Totti's shot from the goal. He was bravely resolved by Carvalho.

After that, Gao Han immediately used the five-star defense card and confrontation card to stabilize the team's defense.

Since then, Roma missed the chance to equalize.

On the contrary, on the defensive end of their own side, after Atletico Madrid stabilized the situation, they repeatedly played very threatening offenses, threatening Antonioli's goal again and again.

But both teams fought very tenaciously, and neither of them let the opponent easily seize the opportunity.

In the end, the duel at the Calderon Stadium ended with Atletico Madrid relying on Villa's lore goal.

Atlético Madrid has won a victory!
