Chapter 865

876 It's all in vain

During the intermission, Simeone adjusted his tactics in the second half.

He gave up the previous idea of ​​​​defensive counterattack, and instead let his team actively attack at home.

There is a statistic that is very unfavorable to Atletico Madrid. In the restructured UEFA Champions League knockout round, none of the teams that lost [-]-[-] at home in the first round can come back on the road!
For Atletico Madrid, what they need to do now is to score goals while shortening the score gap as much as possible!
After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid made substitutions.

Veteran Spanish striker Villa, who joined Atletico Madrid this season, replaced Raul Garcia!

This substitution means a change in Simeone's tactics!

They are going to attack!
Gao Bo was very clear when he saw this substitution.

Simeone put Diego Costa and Villa on the front line, playing double centre-forward.

On both sides are Saul and Mane.

These two players have good speed and breakthrough ability. Atletico Madrid hopes to create opportunities through the assault on the side.

However, Gao Bo is not worried about Atletico Madrid's wing attack.

Because of the central defender combination of Kompany and Umtiti.

One old and one young, the partners still have a very tacit understanding.

And Manchester City's two full-backs are not slow, they are not afraid of Mane and Saul's strong attack on the wing.

After seeing Simeone's adjustment, Gao Bo was unmoved.

Giving up the defensive counterattack, Simeone may not make his team stronger.

Simeone put Bao on the attack, hoping that his team's offense can improve.

But even luck was not on his side.

Because just 5 minutes into the second half, Mane was injured.

The initial examination by the team doctor was a muscle strain. Such an injury obviously cannot continue to stay on the field.

On the sidelines, Simeone's anger can be seen by everyone.

The Argentine coach slammed the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground.

In this game, Simeone felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time!

This sense of powerlessness cannot even be vented.

He was a little resentful.

Because he doesn't know what to do now.

Mane is one of Atletico Madrid's most important attackers. When he was injured, it was impossible for Atletico Madrid to strengthen their offense like water without a source.

"Atletico Madrid is so lucky. They completed the substitution in the second half, but Mane was injured. This important offensive assaulter of Atletico Madrid is obviously a player that Simeone relies on in the second half. However."

The Spanish narrator shook his head.

In this game, Atletico Madrid cannot compare with Manchester City in any aspect.

Both teams are the top teams in their respective leagues. However, judging from this game alone, Atletico Madrid is obviously completely at a disadvantage. The strength of the two teams is very different.

"Gao Bo has undoubtedly created an invincible team in the Premier League. I don't know who in his team can beat them?"

The Spanish commentator said.

Gao Bo walked towards Mane who was receiving treatment on the sidelines.

He comforted his old general a little bit, and then returned to the coaching bench.

And Simeone was forced to use the second substitution of the game.

He could only replace the injured Mane with Thiago, and then pulled Coke to the wing.

In this way, Atletico Madrid's wing assault ability has dropped a lot.

Because Cork is not the kind of winger who dribbles the ball, he is a midfielder. Therefore, Simeone's tactical arrangement during the halftime break was aborted due to Mane's injury.

Despite this, Atletico Madrid still launched an onslaught at home!

They pressed very close together.

In the No.70 two minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid finally got their best chance of the game through a patient offensive organization.

Cork passed the ball into the penalty area and gave it to the feet of veteran Villa.

After making some adjustments, Villa made a push shot to the far end. Goalkeeper Oblak had nothing to do with the ball. However, the football missed the post!

Atletico Madrid missed the best chance to score!
Wasted opportunities will naturally be punished.

2 minutes later!
Kaka shot furiously at the penalty area line, and the football bounced off the crossbar. Griezmann, who was just in front of the penalty area, pushed the ball into the goal with his arch!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!"

The commentator is chanting for Griezmann's goal!

"Griezmann!!! Three to zero!!! Manchester City leads Atletico Madrid three to zero in the away game!!!"

"This is Atletico Madrid's biggest loss at home this season. Facing a team like Manchester City, even Atletico Madrid seems helpless!"

The commentators in the commentary booth said one after another.

There was silence in the stands.

After the goal, Griezmann also raised his hands and refused to celebrate.

After all, he has played in this stadium for two years, and he still has feelings for it.

In the stadium of Calderon, Griezmann has also become a real superstar from a fledgling star!

"I believe the fans of Atlético de Madrid must be very complicated now. The superstar who came out of Calderon counterattacked in the stadium of Calderon and broke the goal of Atletico Madrid. Mr. Cerezo, the chairman of Atletico Madrid, must not want to see such a scene."

In the commentary seat, the Spanish commentator shook his head and said.

When Gao Bo left Atletico Madrid, one of the very important reasons was that during the transfer of Griezmann, Cerezo did not communicate with the head coach Gao Bo at all, and decided to sell Griezmann to Manchester City at a high price. However, unexpectedly, Gao Bo also directly resigned and left, and then went to Manchester City.

At this time, there was sparse applause from the stands.

Atletico Madrid fans also love this player who has only played for the team for two seasons, but has made great contributions to the team.

On the rostrum, Cerezo's face was very ugly.

The players he sold helped Gao Bo a lot.

Even if Griezmann's transfer fee is sky-high, Cerezo feels very upset.

Especially now, after Griezmann scored a goal, he can still get applause from Atletico Madrid fans.

This made Cerezo even more upset!
The next scene made Cerezo get up and leave.

In Calderon's stands, the fans first sang a song about Griezmann, and then they sang a song praising Gao Bo.

Such a scene, as if Gao Bo has been the head coach of Atletico Madrid.

Cerezo tried his best, but in the end he found that Gao Bo's status in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans is still much higher than his chairman
