Chapter 505: Manchester City

Chapter Five Hundred and Five
The second round of the Champions League group stage is over.
The current situation in Group A is very favorable for Atletico Madrid. After two consecutive victories, Atletico Madrid scored six points and ranked first in the group, while Bayern Munich ranked second in the group with three points. Naples and Manchester City are the same. Accumulate one point and rank third and fourth respectively.
"It's too early to talk about qualifying. There are still four games in the group stage. For any team, there are still twelve points to win."
After the game, Gao Bo did not appear too happy.
Continuous away games have left Atletico Madrid players in a period of exhaustion. Especially in the last two games, they have encountered strong enemies continuously, and they are still away games. Traveling around is more physically demanding.
Fortunately, in these two difficult games, Atletico Madrid finally gnawed down.
.....
On the fourth day after returning from Italy, Atletico Madrid ushered in a home game.
In the seventh round of the league, Atletico Madrid played against Sevilla at home.
Although Gao Bo did a rotation in this game, the players' performance on the court was not satisfactory.
Sevilla's defense is very tenacious, and Atletico Madrid, their offense does not seem to be sharp.
At their home court, Atletico Madrid experienced a dull draw.
This is the first draw of Atletico Madrid this season, a bit earlier than last season.
After the game, Gao Bo shook his head.
The long season, the Champions League, the League, and the Copa del Rey in the future. Now the impact of the intensive schedule has begun to show.
Fortunately, after this game, it immediately ushered in a month and a half of the national team game day.
Most of the members of the first team were drawn at once. Atletico Madrid’s main players are almost all national teams. On the national team match day, Atletico Madrid’s training can only be based on basic training. In terms of tactical training, due to the fact that most of the first team players have been transferred, Atletico Madrid is also temporarily difficult to do complex tactical training.
Gao Bo paid close attention to the national team match days for two consecutive weeks.
He was mainly worried about his players being injured. On October 13th, the players returned from various national teams.
The medical department immediately performed a brand new check on the players to ensure that they will not leave any hidden dangers of injury in the national team game.
Fortunately, this time the national team's match day, Atletico Madrid did not appear injured players.
On October 16, the eighth round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Granada away.
At the Camenez Stadium, this small stadium that can only accommodate more than 20,000 people, Atletico Madrid ushered in a big victory!
In the ninth minute of the game, Reyes, who returned to the starting lineup, sent an assist. He made a cross from the wing and made a point before Diego Costa, who had a chance to start, slightly changed the direction of football. Rolled into the goal from the goalkeeper's feet!
Atletico Madrid made a fantastic start.
After that, Atletico Madrid took full control of the situation. In the twentieth minute of the game, Griezman's cut-in shot helped the team expand its lead.
By the second half, Atletico Madrid's goal had not stopped.
In the 60th minute, Diego Costa scored twice and scored in the penalty area to rewrite the score to three to zero.
Soon after, the central defender Lucio took advantage of a corner kick and scored a header, and the score became four to zero!
In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated the opponent 5-0 in the away game. Cork, who came on the bench, added the icing on the cake and scored a long-range goal!
After the national team match, Atletico Madrid declared their continued strength in the league with a big victory.
But compared to Real Madrid’s seven-game winning streak from the beginning of the league to the present, Atletico Madrid is still slightly inferior, Mourinho’s team state is unstoppable!
This season's La Liga, the competition of three super strong teams, so that the competition for the league title has entered a white-hot stage early.
Barcelona also won. The current situation in the standings is that Real Madrid ranked first with seven consecutive victories and 21 points. Atletico Madrid ranked second with six wins and one draw and 19 points. Barcelona scored ten with six wins and one loss. Eighths ranked third.
This is the first group in La Liga, and behind them is Valencia, who has scored 14 points. The gap between Valencia and the top three is very obvious.
.....
At the end of the domestic league, Atlético de Madrid non-stop, they want to go to England immediately.
On October 21, the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid challenged Manchester City away!
Manchester City's summer transfer window this season has once again attracted a lot of help. A transfer window costs more than 100 million transfer fees. This makes other teams staggering investment in such a rich league as the Premier League.
And this season, Manchester City have performed very strongly in the Premier League. They have won seven games and one tie in the first eight rounds of the Premier League! However, in the Champions League game, Manchester City's performance has disappointed their fans.
In the first round they were fortunate to draw with Naples at home, and in the second round they lost to Bayern without fighting back. This time against the group's first Atletico Madrid at home, the English media is still very pessimistic about the prospects of Manchester City.
"Sky Sports" said when making a preview of this game: "The first two games of the Champions League, one draw and one loss, Manchester City only scored one point after two rounds. Compared with their luxurious formation, this kind of points The result is really ironic. After 43 years, they stepped into the Champions League again. In 43 years, world football has completely changed. Manchester City’s mercenaries can kill all sides in the league, but when they meet in the Champions League, When it’s a tough opponent, this team lacks the willpower to unite and face a strong enemy. They are scattered. This is especially obvious when playing Bayern Munich away. If Manchester City wants to get rid of the "mercenaries" In terms of the title, they must show some performance in this game. Atletico Madrid, this is an opponent I am afraid that is stronger than Bayern Munich."
Sky Sports is quite polite~EbookFREE.me~ Some other English tabloids simply mocked Manchester City as a "upstart"!
Different from the teams that are now begging for the luck of Petroleum Capital, in the eyes of conservative British people, let alone that a team like Manchester City is controlled by Petroleum Capital, even the acquisition of Manchester United by U.S. Capital back then caused an uproar. What's more, Manchester City's performance in the transfer market after being acquired is indeed in line with the image of a nouveau riche.
In this game, in addition to some media that support Manchester City, other English media generally believe that Manchester City's game may be too bad. In addition to the strength of Atletico Madrid, their coach Gao Bo is also quite familiar with English football-Gao Bo is famous from the English arena.
And once Manchester City loses to Atletico Madrid at home, the luxury division built with hundreds of millions of pounds cannot make it out of the Champions League group, I am afraid it will become an international joke.
"We will win! We will prove to the outside world the unity and fighting spirit of Manchester City!" Manchester City captain Kompany obviously disagrees with what the English media said!
"Gao Bo knows English football very well? There are a lot of changes in these two aspects. The Premier League now is not the Premier League of two years ago. In the past, Gao Bo led Luton to defeat Manchester City, but then Manchester City was not Manchester City now!"
"We will win at home! Group qualifying is just our lowest goal!!" Dawei-Silva said.
"This is a difficult game, this is a real test for the team!" Manchester City coach Mancini said when facing reporters.
Manchester City are all expressing their determination to this game!
For Manchester City, in the third round of the group stage, they will fight back!
