Chapter 420 The Second Round

Fortunately, the game against the Spaniard is at Madrid's home court, so after Atletico Madrid returns from Dortmund, they don't need to fly to other cities, just rest in Madrid.

There are still the last four games of this season, and the Champions League, Europa League and the relegation zone are basically set.The Spaniard ranks in the middle, and they have neither the opportunity to enter the European theater nor the danger of relegation.

Therefore, the Spaniard in this game can be said to have no desires, and the starting list announced one day in advance has verified Simeone's ideas.So after returning, Simeone made another rotation adjustment. Caesar only got 30 minutes of playing time. Even so, he still scored the icing on the cake.

The rest of the players, such as Godin, Luis, Gabi, etc., have been given a 90-minute rest time. Atletico Madrid is waiting for the arrival of Dortmund.

Dortmund returned to the league and defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 2:0. Facing his old club, the little Rocket Royce scored the first goal.

Borussia was thinking of keeping him until the end of the season, but the 2500 million offered by Dortmund made it hard for Borussia to refuse.What's more, Royce himself expressed his desire to return to Dortmund, and Borussia, who knew he couldn't keep him, had to let him go.

When we met again this time, Royce, who had obviously matured a lot, did not relent. While scoring a goal, he also received the highest score in the game.

Klopp did not make too many rotation adjustments. After all, the Bundesliga has 4 games less than La Liga. They have always had more rest, and the players are very physically fit.

After winning the game, Dortmund came to Madrid by plane. They also negotiated friendly with Real Madrid and got the right to use the Real Madrid training ground.

Both Dortmund and Atletico Madrid are not teams that are good at hype, so although this game has a high degree of attention and a good game, it is not topical.

Except for Watzke who yelled a few words in the air, no one made any controversial arguments.

The fact that the topic is not hot enough does not mean that the game is not heavy enough.Especially since this is the second round of the semi-finals of the Europa League, who can enter the final has become the most concerned thing for fans of the two teams.

Caesars has scored 13 goals in the Europa League this season. Don't think that this is too much. After all, there are two more rounds in the Europa League, so the scoring record is also very high.

Falcao scored an astonishing 17 goals in Porto last season, surpassing Klinsmann's 15 goals and becoming the new historical top scorer in the Europa League.

Some people also said that if Messi and Ronaldo go to the Europa League, with their strength, they may be able to score more goals.

But it turns out that even Caesars, who is not weaker than them, only scored 13 goals. It can be seen that the Europa League is not so easy.

Caesar is not interested in the historical scoring record of the Europa League. He somewhat "conceited" believes that this should be the only time in his career to play in the Europa League, so as long as he wins the championship.As for the record, the single-season scoring record in the Champions League is more attractive to him.

If Atletico Madrid can reach the Europa League final, then Caesars still has two games to score.

Whether it can surpass Falcao's record of 17 goals, Caesar doesn't care.As long as he can win the championship, he is satisfied.

But although Caesar doesn't care about scoring records, his teammates are still quite interested.

Cork said in training: "Don't worry, I will pass the ball to you when the game comes."

Caesar looked confused: "Don't you want to pass the ball to me?"

"I mean, it'll help you break the record."

Caesar smiled and said, "Forget it, instead of focusing on the record, it is better to try to win the opponent."

"well said!"

A thunderstorm sounded behind the two, startling Caesar and Cork.Looking back, Simeone slapped him with a big slap and shouted: "This mentality is very good. I am optimistic about you in the second round."

"I'm also optimistic about myself."

On the day of the game, Leon closed the store very early, preparing to watch the game at night.

Dortmund will definitely not let it go, after all, the score of 2:2 is not good for them, and they must attack in order to advance to the team.

And Simeone can do more with ease, the team holds two away goals, no matter how you think about it, it will not suffer.

In the evening, Atletico Madrid fans walked into Calderon wearing team uniforms and scarves, singing songs.

The audience was shining with red and white lights. Calderon's South Stand saw Dortmund's cheering in the previous game. Unwilling to admit defeat, they also prepared TIFO this time and prepared a gift for the visiting Dortmund.

After the players warmed up, Klopp kicked the messy tactical board aside and yelled: "Atletico Madrid will definitely withdraw their defense. They started with defense and held two away goals. There is no reason not to choose a conservative style of play. So after the opening, we must first control the midfield, don't be impatient, and patiently look for opportunities."

In this game, Schmelzer returned, and the Grand Cross sat back on the bench.It was a pity that he couldn't play against Caesar in person. He stood on the periphery and listened quietly to the coach's instructions.

Royce, Lewandowski and Kagawa are the key figures in Dortmund's comeback. The three of them have adjusted their status and are waiting for the game.

"It's almost time for the game." The assistant coach reminded from the side.

Klopp also completed the pre-match mobilization and encouraged the players to go out.

In the player tunnel, Caesar saw Royce and the big cross wearing a substitute coat.

"You won't come today." Caesar curled his lips and said, "It's a pity, I wanted to abuse you again."

"Fuck off, you don't need to use my nuclear weapon to deal with you." The Grand Cross yelled, and the word "nuclear weapon" made Shinji Kagawa shiver.

"Come on, it's interesting to beat you at 100%." ​​Royce patted Caesar on the shoulder, and the latter said, "Hey, wait until you die."

Rudy served as the commentator for today's game. The moment the players entered the field, he saw the huge flag raised in the Calderon South Stand.

The imp, in an Atletico Madrid jersey with a knife in his hand and a telescope at his feet that had been cut in half, was the answer to Dortnam's stands.

All the fans held up the red and white cardboard in their hands, turning Calderon into a sea of ​​red and white.

"The two teams are ready to go, and the game is about to begin!"

Today Atletico Madrid still sent the same lineup as the previous game, except for two differences. Diego became Reyes, Vidal was a little injured before the game, and Simeone replaced him with Toure.

Saul is still sitting on the bench, he is the team's backup surprise soldier, and he will only be sent on the field when he is needed most.

There is only one difference in Dortmund, which is the exchange of Grand Cross and Schmelzer.

"With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"
