Chapter 813: To die with more dignity


This day finally came.
On April 13, 2016, in the second round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid's home game against Barcelona is about to start.
On the previous day, two other quarter-finals had already been played. Real Madrid returned to their home court after losing 0:2 to Wolfsburg in the first round, defeating their opponents 3:0 to 3: The total score of 2 advanced to the semifinals, and Cristiano Ronaldo completed a hat-trick in this game. Raised his Champions League goals this season to sixteen.
In another game, Manchester City defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1:0 at home and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 3:2.
Today there will be two remaining games, one is Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona, ​​and the other is Benfica vs. Bayern Munich.
In the first round, Benfica only lost to Bayern Munich 0:1 away, so there is still suspense in this game.
As for the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it may be out of Atletico Madrid fans, everyone thinks there is no suspense.
After all, Atletico Madrid lost three goals in the first round...
In the history of the Champions League, only Barcelona has done it once, but that was before the restructuring.
After the restructuring of the Champions League in 1992, many of the original rules no longer apply. For example, before the restructuring, there are teams that can defend the Champions League, and not many. Even an unknown team like Nottingham Forest can do it.
But after the restructuring of the Champions League, no big players like Real Madrid or AC Milan can do it. The best result is nothing but two championships in three years.
After the restructuring, naturally no team can reverse the promotion at 0:3 in the first round.
Although the media supporting Atletico Madrid kept chanting to the fans before the game to keep them hopeful, go to the stadium to support the team and create miracles.
But this does not change anything.
This is just a normal way to encourage morale. After all, compared with being eliminated, it is more shameful to admit defeat in advance, and no one can do it.
Didn't Simone say it when he was interviewed before the game?
His team will fight to the last moment.
Listen, listen, "fight to the last moment." Why not say it is a miracle?
Because in the deep heart of the head coach, he did not believe that the team could be promoted, but only asked everyone to fight in the end, so that when they die, they can die with more dignity.
Isn't there a joke saying that?
What should I do if I encounter a bear in the forest?
Instead of pretending to die on the ground, don’t scream and run away in panic, but face the bear with your eyes rounded, growl at it, raise your fist to fight against it, so you can die with more dignity .
Atletico Madrid is now the man who encountered the bear in the forest, and Barcelona is the giant bear.

"The odds are not optimistic about Atletico Madrid..." Xiao Yingying holding a mobile phone sighed.
"Isn't this normal?" Feng Shiyao shrugged. "If the odds are good for Atletico Madrid, then you have to worry about whether there will be any problems."
Although this time is still half an hour away from the start of the game, the two are already watching in front of the TV.
During the waiting period, the two men were using their mobile phones to scan Weibo, paying attention to various news on the Internet.
"But I still bought ten notes to support the handsome guy!" Xiao Yingying proudly showed her phone to Feng Shiyao.
She bought ten bets on Atletico Madrid's 4:0 win and spent twenty dollars.
According to the current odds, Atlético Madrid's odds to advance to the semi-finals are nineteen, and Atlético Madrid's odds of beating Barcelona 4:0 are even more exaggerated, being ninety-one.
This odds means aside the cost of twenty dollars spent by Xiao Yingying, if the game is really the result, she will earn a net of eighteen.
Feng Shiyao said: "I only bought ten notes, you still have no confidence in Atletico Madrid."
After talking, she handed her cell phone to Xiao Yingying.
Xiao Yingying saw that Sister Feng actually bought a hundred times 4:0 this result!
For a full two hundred dollars, according to the odds, you won a net profit of 18 thousand!
Xiao Yingying looked at the phone and muttered: "That's different, do you have inside information..."
Feng Shiyue said: "This is not buying stocks. What's the use of inside information?"
Then she said seriously: "Besides, I haven't looked for him in these days."
"why?"
"I don't want to influence him. Don't look at him talking and laughing in front of the reporter, but in fact the pressure is also great."
Xiao Yingying nodded and said: "That's true too. After all, it's three behind... Even if I was watching the ball, I couldn't be nervous." She showed Feng Shiyao her legs and was shaking slightly. "I was nervous when I thought that the game was about to start. Not to mention those players who still have to play. Professional players are really amazing... In my case, the legs are estimated to be soft and I can't even walk... "

Atletico Madrid players have finished warming up before the game and returned to the locker room.
There are only twenty minutes left until the game begins.
They are taking the time to take off their warm-up clothes and put on formal competition clothes.
After doing all this quickly, they all looked up at Simone, their boss.
"The situation is very difficult, very difficult. This exists objectively, and does not divert our thoughts. But also because of this, I am trembling with excitement. Because I think that so many people are not optimistic about us, and we will for a while. I'm going to slap them and I'm happy! I can't wait for the game to start!" Simone's contagious speech began again.
"As Gao said, we have beaten them 4:0 here, and we can do it, so I believe we can do it again! Let those enemies tremble in front of us! Let them say We can’t do that either, we can’t do it! We will definitely win and advance to the Final Four!

"After these days of training, I believe you must also have this kind of belief. So good. We have to invest 120% of the energy from the first second in this game, we must... …Not'fight for', but must score goals in the first ten minutes, beat them by surprise, scare their urine out! Then destroy them with a destructive offensive!"

Hearing speaker He Ping and his commentary partner Xu Yang appeared on the TV, and the two are looking forward to the game.
Xu Yang said: "In fact, in the last round of the game, Atletico Madrid's tactics were no problem. The game also once formed an advantage and almost scored a goal. But I did not expect that Messi broke out at this time..."
He Ping sighed: "Yeah, this is the energy of superstars. Sometimes, superstars can smooth out their tactical disadvantages if they explode with full force. Why is Messi the first person in football today? The big reason is this... he is a man who can control the game on his own. Simone's luck in the last game was too bad in Slovenia, and he met Messi, who was in a state of explosion..."
"Gao Zheng said before the game that they can reproduce the miracle of the Spanish Super Cup defeating Barcelona 4:0. Barcelona also responded before the game, Messi said they did not forget that game, Barcelona will not be the same stone Tripped twice. I believe what he said is true, so this game is probably more difficult to play. The result of the first round now looks particularly regrettable..."
Xu Yang's statement made many people nod secretly.
Indeed, the only chance for Atletico Madrid is to hope that Barcelona will be proud of the enemy after winning the first three goals.
But Gao Zheng's words in turn reminded Barcelona.
Although everyone knows that Gao Zheng is kind, it is to boost the morale of his teammates. But objectively, it also made the opponents more vigilant, making the game more difficult to play.
Everyone believes that as long as Barcelona does not underestimate and take it seriously, the game is actually evenly matched, even if Atletico Madrid can win, it is only one goal and two goals, not enough for them to advance. Not to mention that Barcelona may still score an away goal, which is even worse.
Analysis and discussion like this are also ongoing in other TV stations.
This game was the focus of the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The strong dialogue attracted broadcasts from many countries around the world.
Basically no one is optimistic that Atletico Madrid can reverse the turnaround.
Although they used to play in the quarter-finals of the Champions League two seasons ago, they beat out Barcelona at home. But the specific situation is completely different from now.
At that time, Atlético Madrid played against Barcelona in the first round. It was a 1:1 draw. Not only did they not lose, but they also scored an away goal. Public opinion is more optimistic about Atletico Madrid. After returning to home, Atlético Madrid beat Barcelona 1:0 and eliminated the opponent with a total score of 2:1 to advance to the semifinals. And finally reached the final in one breath.
Atletico Madrid are basically facing "impossible tasks" this time.
