Olympic Stadium, Rome.
Assistant coaches Boggs and Burgos took the players to participate in the routine pre-match walk-through.
Head coach Simeone and main striker Falcao attended the pre-match press conference.
The media interviews were nothing new.
Falcao set the single-season goal record and knockout goal record in the Europa League last season when he played for Porto.
The question was also very simple, do you have the confidence to break the record set last season.
As a professional player, how can you say you have no confidence?
So, it's all nonsense literature.
Then he asked Simeone if he could lead the team to beat his old club Lazio as a guest.
Simeone's answer was very clever. He first praised the greatness of his old club and claimed that Lazio was the boss of Rome...
Finally, he said that the spirit of competitive sports is to do your best, even when facing your old club.
That night, there were two first-leg matches of the Champions League quarter-finals.
But... the most eye-catching game was the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The game process was worthy of the title of the national derby and everyone's attention.
At home, Barcelona led Real Madrid by two goals, thanks to goals from Pedro and Alves.
When everyone thought that Barcelona would easily win at home, Real Madrid woke up.
C Ronaldo and Benzema scored a goal in the 65th and 72nd minutes, respectively, tying the score to 2:2.
The total score was 3:4.
The atmosphere at Camp Nou became tense.
Real Madrid's morale was boosted after scoring two goals in a row, and they increased their offensive investment.
At the end of the game, the offensive was like a tide, and Barcelona was once pressed in the half for offensive drills.
Perhaps it was too anxious, or it was bad luck, Real Madrid has not scored a goal to overtake the score.
On the contrary, in the 88th minute of the game, the vice-captain Ramos elbowed Pique while competing for a header and received a second yellow card.
Playing one less player and playing away.
Real Madrid seemed to be deflated.
At the end of the game, the score displayed on the LCD scoreboard did not change.
In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid with a total score of 4:3 and advanced to the 2011-2012 Copa del Rey final.
Chang Jin, who turned off the TV, sighed: Real Madrid led by Guardiola is really powerful, what a pity...
With Guardiola leaving Barcelona and Mourinho losing control of the Real Madrid locker room and having to leave, the Spanish national derby is not so interesting.
Although the competition between Melo and Ronaldo has never lacked topics.
You should know that in 2024 before Chang Jin was reborn, the most watched Spanish national derby was still the late duel between Guardiola and Real Madrid.
Before going to bed, Chang Jin habitually went to the training ground to conduct special training on [Heading Accuracy].
When the jumping ability reached the excellent level, the heading accuracy became better.It is becoming more and more important.
"Huh? Have you completed a side quest?"
Before entering the system training ground, I caught a glimpse of a golden exclamation mark in the upper right corner.
This is the state where you can receive rewards.
[Continuous Monthly Training]
Reward 2 attribute points.
"Really."
Chang Jin was a little depressed. He received 1 attribute point for a week of continuous training, but only 2 attribute points for a month of continuous training.
It's a pity that he can only receive it once every season, otherwise it would be more cost-effective to use a bug.
As the saying goes, 'If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools'. With more and more ball-handling tasks, the control of the football becomes more and more important.
The current focus of the training is on headers, and [Ball Control] can only be pushed back.
And the progress of attribute values will decrease after reaching 60.
Using attribute points to increase is undoubtedly the most convenient way.
Possession: 68→70
※※※※※
On Thursday night, local time in Europe, as many as 16 first-leg matches of the Europa League 1/16 finals kicked off.
Due to the time difference in different places, the matches will start at 7pm and 9pm in the local time zone respectively.
There are two most influential battles.
Ajax vs. Manchester United, Atletico Madrid vs. Lazio.
Atletico Madrid will visit the Olympic Stadium in Rome at 9pm local time.
This stadium is not a Lazio asset, but belongs to the Rome City Hall and is shared with another team in the same city, Roma.
The stadium has a maximum capacity of 105,000, but only 80,000 seats.
According to the relevant rules and regulations of UEFA, the capacity of the stadium for any UEFA event is determined by the number of seats.
Simeone led Atletico Madrid back to the Olympic Stadium in Rome, and Lazio fans gave warm and thunderous applause.
Atletico Madrid players did not receive such treatment.
Boos and insults were everywhere.
The main striker Falcao and Chang Jin, who has recently shined and attracted the attention of the whole of Europe, became the main targets of abuse.
The enthusiastic home atmosphere of the Olympic Stadium in Rome made it difficult for the visiting Atletico Madrid to adapt.
Taking advantage of the fact that the visiting team was not yet stable, Lazio took the lead at home.
Candreva sent a high-quality cross from the wing, and Klose, who is currently tied with Ronaldo as the top scorer in the history of the World Cup, headed the ball into the goal.
Goalkeeper Courtois was out of reach.
Chang Jin, who was outside the penalty area, looked at Klose's iconic flip celebration and felt a little emotional.
The Olympic Stadium in Rome has completely become a sea of joy for the home fans.
But the excitement of Lazio fans did not last long.
Chang Jin increased his running coverage area according to the real-time situation of the game, and constantly directed his teammates to take their positions.
Ensuring that there were no problems with the defense, the offensive players gradually focused on the offense.
In the 25th minute, Chang Jin received the ball in the middle circle without any adjustment and sent a fine shotAccurate diagonal long pass.
Falcao advanced to the left side of the penalty area and overpowered central defender Diakite to head the ball back to the middle of the penalty area.
Adrian shot and broke through Marchetti's goal.
1:1.
Before the end of the first half.
Chang Jin intercepted the diagonal pass from Hernanes to Candreva in the backcourt.
He immediately passed it to Diego who ran out of the gap.
Diego got the ball and observed it for a while, then sent a penetrating and precise pass like a surgical knife.
Falcao took the ball and accelerated together, showing his excellent explosive power and speed to the fullest.
Facing the goalkeeper Marchetti, he was not afraid of the overwhelming boos, and easily pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
Atletico Madrid overtook the score!
And maintained the score until the end of the first half.
The game resumed after the change of sides.
Lazio, who was at home, stepped up their offensive efforts and tried to equalize the score.
Chang Jin's role in the midfield was fully demonstrated.
His activity covered a very large area and could be seen everywhere on the defensive end.
In the 72nd minute, Atletico Madrid passed the ball back and forth in a positional battle.
Chang Jin, who focused most of his energy on defense, did not make any adjustments on the right rib of the attack, about 35 meters away from the bottom line.
A long pass directly in a big diagonal line found the left back Felipe who was diagonally inserted into the left rib of the penalty area.
Everyone thought he would pass the ball to Falcao or Adrian, but he unexpectedly shot a near corner at the front of the small penalty area on the left.
The score displayed on the LCD scoreboard changed again.
1:3
The home team was in front and the away team was behind.
Considering that there was a league match on Sunday, Simeone's team contracted its defense.
Lazio's offensive was like a tide, and they had a strong desire to score.
Unfortunately, Chang Jin's defensive system gradually improved, and did not give the home team any chance.
Finally, Atletico Madrid defeated Lazio 3:1 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, gaining the upper hand in the two-round knockout match.
