Chapter 781: Who influences who

In the twenty-ninth round of the league, Atletico Madrid faced A Coruña at home. This league is a bit different from the previous league.
Because after playing this league, Atletico Madrid will welcome PSV at home next week. That UEFA Champions League game is related to whether they can reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
In fact, in the middle of last week, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals had already started. Real Madrid defeated Roma 2-0 at home and advanced to the quarter-finals with a total score of 4:0 in two rounds, becoming the first team. The Spanish team that advanced to the quarterfinals.
In the other three quarterfinals, Wolfsburg defeated Ghent 1:0, with a total score of 4:2; Benfica defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 2:1 away, with a total score of 3:1; Paris Saint-Germain away 2:1 defeated Chelsea, eliminated opponents with a total score of 4:2, advanced to the quarterfinals.
So the first four quarter-finals teams were all born.
Next, on the 15th and 16th of March, the remaining four quarter-final teams will be released one after another.
On the fifteenth day, Atletico Madrid played against Eindhoven and Manchester City played against Dynamo Kiev.
The next day it was Barcelona's turn to play. They played Arsenal at home and Bayern Munich played Juventus.
As the Champions League advances, the schedule will become increasingly dense.
There is still a half month difference between the first round and the second round of the quarter-finals. From the quarter-finals, it is only a week away. At the same time, the quarter-finals and semi-finals are only a dozen Days time.
The more you play the team, the harder you will feel.
This is why the Champions League is a giant game-if you don't have a deep enough bench thickness, you simply can't survive in such a dense high-intensity confrontation.
Now there are more and more games in a season, and it is more and more difficult for teams that rely on only one lineup to achieve good results in multi-line combat. It is increasingly impossible for a dark horse like the Nottingham Forest to achieve good results in multi-line combat.
Now in the Champions League, being able to reach the quarterfinals can already be considered a big dark horse. Want to reach the finals in one breath and win the cup? Daydream!

Although the next step is the UEFA Champions League game with PSV, but before the twenty-ninth round of the league, Diego Simone did not make a substantial rotation in the team's game against A Coruña.
He adjusted only two positions.
At least Gao Zheng is still on the court.
No matter how he adjusts, if he still wants to win, then he has to ensure that Gao Zheng is on the court.
Gao Zheng is the guarantee of victory.
Even if he doesn’t score, he can assist his teammates, just like in the last round of the league.
Of course, Gao Zheng scored in this game.
He helped the team change the score to 2:0 in the 60th minute.
He was then replaced in the seventy-first minute, and Gretzman played for him.
The French striker set the score at 3:0 in the 83rd minute.
They were not influenced by the Champions League and won the game.
This disappointed many Barcelona fans.
Under the premise that Barcelona have beaten Getafe 6:0, they also expect Atletico Madrid to lose the game under the influence of the Champions League, or to draw with A Coruna...
But Manuel Blanco doesn't think so.
He believes that the strength of Atletico Madrid will not be affected now.
He even felt that Atletico Madrid had a high probability of reaching the quarterfinals.
Eindhoven is still very difficult to cause trouble for Atletico Madrid.
But once you enter the quarterfinals, it will be different.
At that time, the draw will be re-drawn, and Atletico Madrid will no longer encounter Eindhoven for such a second-class team.
The opponent's strength becomes stronger and the schedule becomes more intensive. By that time, the impact of two-line combat on Atletico Madrid will gradually be revealed.
Now it is really unnecessary to sigh because Atletico Madrid won the ball, a group of young people who can not hold their breath!
He has been a reporter for so many years, what scenes have he never seen, what storms have not passed?
Wait, my prediction is not wrong. After entering the quarterfinals, it is time for Atletico Madrid to crash!

Everyone thought that Atletico Madrid might be affected by the Champions League in the league. As a result, Atletico Madrid defeated A Coruña 3:0 in the league, and they did not see where they were willing to be affected.
It wasn't until the start of their match with PSV that everyone reacted-not that the league was affected by the Champions League, but that the Champions League was affected by the league!
In ninety minutes, Atletico Madrid created many opportunities, but failed to break the goal guarded by Zuote, the game was dragged into overtime.
Atlético Madrid's offensive has declined in overtime. PSV also tried to start some offense, but they still seemed very cautious. If it was not a particularly good opportunity, they would basically not invest too much force.
In the end, both sides did not score in the 120-minute game time, and the game entered a penalty shootout.
Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona are playing a "penalty shootout" in the league. In the Champions League, they have to rely on a penalty shootout to decide whether to advance to the quarterfinals...
Blanco saw this scene in front of the TV and sneered again and again.
The impact has begun to surface gradually.
But he does not want Atletico Madrid to be eliminated here.
If the Champions League is eliminated, they can catch up with Barcelona in the league. A team like Atletico Madrid, when they go all out in a game, the threat to Barcelona is great.
So in order to avoid such a situation, Blanco still has to cheer for Atletico Madrid, hoping that they can laugh to the end in the penalty shootout.
Of course, this does not mean that he betrayed Barcelona.
This is just to make Atletico Madrid lose even worse in the future and ensure the success of Barcelona's revenge.

Eindhoven kicked first in the penalty shootout. The first player was Marco van Kinkel. He was Eindhoven’s midfielder. The game performed well. It was his unity and cooperation with his teammates that he resisted Lived the wave of attack of Atletico Madrid, successfully dragged the game into a penalty shootout.
Generally speaking, the skill of the first penalty kick player does not need to be too high, but the psychological quality must be excellent, and the physical fitness should also be good. Otherwise, after a 120-minute game, the lack of physical fitness will lead to deformation of the technical action when kicking the ball, reducing the free throw percentage.
So the candidates for this penalty are basically all players in the midfield and backcourt. They have guaranteed physical fitness and excellent psychological quality.
Van Kinkel lived up to expectations and kicked the football into the goal with a good start for PSV.
The first penalty for Atletico Madrid is Griezmann.
The French striker also made a hit.
The score is 1:1.
Eindhoven's second penalty is Guardado, also a midfielder. He also kicked the penalty kick into the goal like his midfield partner.
Atletico Madrid's second player is Captain Gabi, who steadily took a penalty.
The two sides came and went like this until they reached the fifth round, and they were still tied.
Eindhoven's fifth penalty player, Moreno, also kicked the football into the goal.
This pressure has come to Atletico Madrid. If Atletico Madrid’s fifth free thrower cannot kick the football, then PSV will eliminate Atletico Madrid and reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
At the side of Atletico Madrid, the fifth person to punish is Gao Zheng.
