Chapter 560 An Ominous Premonition (Fourth)
Chapter 571 An Ominous Premonition
Meet Barcelona in the Champions League.

Gao Bo knows that this is not an easy opponent to deal with, although his team has beaten Barcelona five times-speaking of it, he seems to be the manager who has beaten Guardiola the most times.

And he is also the coach who beat Mourinho the most times.

But none of this worked.

Because Guardiola has two Champions League titles, Mourinho also has two Champions League titles.

And Gao Bo has only one Europa League champion in the European war.

There is no head coach who can only win the Champions League and can only rule the roost in the league.In the hearts of the fans, I am afraid that it is almost meaningless.

The Champions League is the highest-level competition in the world. Although the influence of the Champions League final is far less than that of the World Cup final, if you analyze it purely from the technical content of the game, the Champions League final is even higher than the World Cup final.

The national team often has a certain aspect of defects.

For example, the Spanish midfielder is very strong, but their forwards are weak. Villa can still play now, but now there is no one who can take over from Villa.

Diego Costa is good, but his style seems to be out of tune with the Spanish national team.

Argentina has Messi, Aguero, Higuain, and Di Maria on the front line. If you just look at the forwards, Argentina is undoubtedly one of the strongest offensive teams in the world. But in the midfield, Argentina is not as luxurious as their forward line.

This may be because the football culture of each country is different, which has created such a result.

Spain played midfield and Italy played defenders.

This has formed people's stereotypes.

But the Champions League is different.

The Champions League is a club competition!
Clubs can choose players from all over the world.

The selection range of the head coach is much larger than that of the national team.

Therefore, the teams that can reach the Champions League final are those teams that are quite strong on the three fronts.

It is not easy for any team to win the Champions League.

Even Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United, only has two Champions League titles in hand.

Therefore, in order to prepare for the UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona, ​​Gao Bo performed a substantial rotation in the No.30 fourth round of the league, and Atletico Madrid's away game against Vallecano.

Reyes, who came back from injury, got a chance to play in this game. Gao Bo originally planned to let Reyes find his status in this game. If the status is still passable, he will let Reyes start in the game against Barcelona.

After all, Mane is still too young. Compared with Mane, Gao Bo is more willing to trust Reyes in key battles.

The result of this game was zero to one, and Atletico Madrid won away.

But what worries the Atletico Madrid fans is that Reyes took the initiative to apply to end before halftime.

He felt discomfort in the adductor muscles on the back of his right thigh, and he couldn't stick to the game.

This forced Gao Bo to temporarily replace Mane, and Reyes might not be able to play in the Champions League semi-final four days later.

At the end of the season, players like Reyes, who were originally relatively glass, began to suffer frequent injuries.

After finishing the four rounds of the No.30 League, the Champions League game is coming soon.

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Atletico Madrid will challenge Barcelona away!
"Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have met too frequently in the past two seasons. After Gao Bo took over Barcelona, ​​the two sides have played against each other five times, and these five times have been won by Atletico Madrid, including a [-]-[-] victory in the home and away games! Atletico Madrid seems to be the nemesis of Barcelona, ​​and what will be the result of this match between the two sides?"

Before the game started, the commentators were guessing what the next game would be like.

For Barcelona, ​​this is their chance for revenge!

This is the first time the two teams have played against each other in the Champions League. Barcelona believes that in the league, Barcelona may really be restrained by Atletico Madrid, but in the Champions League, Barcelona may have an advantage.

The UEFA Champions League is different from the league!
Before the game, Barcelona's mouthpieces were emphasizing this, emboldening the Barcelona fans.

With always losing to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona fans have also developed a fear of Atletico Madrid
Gao Bo and his Atlético Madrid are definitely no strangers to Camp Nou.

They have very fond memories here.

This time they are also full of fighting spirit and want to win a victory here.

Game money two 10 minutes, everything went well.

Although Atletico Madrid did not score, Barcelona did not score either.

In this game, Gao Bo still sent all his main players. Except for Reyes who was injured and unable to play, Atletico Madrid has sent the strongest lineup.

And so is Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid will also make some fine-tuning of tactics when dealing with Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid was not obsessed with possession of the ball in this game, but played faster and more directly on the offensive end. When defending, they also used tough pressing and running without hesitation to force Barcelona, ​​forcing them to also speed up the rhythm.

Gao Bo's purpose is to prevent Barcelona from taking good possession of the ball.

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, continued to strengthen their tike-taka tactics, using absolute possession of the ball to find opportunities.

In this game, according to the characteristics of Barcelona, ​​Gao Bo also made corresponding arrangements.

For example, the pressing in the frontcourt and the intensive defense in the middle.

When the team loses the ball, the frontcourt players are responsible for harassing the opponent's ball-taking player, so that the opponent cannot pass through the midfield quickly.

At the same time, the players in the midfield must retreat quickly and return to their own defense zone. If Barcelona attacks, Atletico Madrid will launch a tough press in the midfield. If they do not come up, the team does not need to worry at all.

Barcelona is actually not in a hurry, both sides were very cautious in the first 10 minutes.

However, in the 201st minute of the game, the situation changed suddenly.

Iniesta picked a pass from the penalty area, Messi chested the ball in the penalty area, and then Sandro stretched out one foot, and while stabbing the ball away, he and Messi both fell to the ground.

Gao Bo's heart tightened when he saw this scene.

Then the whistle was heard!

The Dutch referee Kupes ran into the penalty area, and while blowing his whistle, he pointed to the penalty spot!
penalty? !
Gao Bo's heart skipped a beat.

As far as the defensive arrangement of this game is concerned, Atletico Madrid has done a good job, but it still found a loophole for Messi!

As for whether this is a penalty kick, Gao Bo is actually not very sure.

But this did not delay his protest.

He immediately went to the fourth official and challenged the award of the penalty.

The players on the field were also protesting loudly, but to no avail.

After the referee makes a penalty, it will not change.

Messi is standing in the penalty area holding the ball, waiting for the penalty kick.

"Penalty!!! Barcelona got a penalty in the opening No.201 minute!"

"Sandro raised his foot a bit high. Although he touched the ball first, the referee may think that his action is dangerous and the action is too big, so a penalty is awarded!"

This penalty kick is actually not controversial, so Atletico Madrid resigned to their fate after watching the protest for a while.

Otherwise, it is not worthwhile to get a yellow card because of this.

And Gao Bo smelled a different meaning from this penalty.

He looked at the referee and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
