Chapter 448 Gua Tu goes to Manchester City to avoid relegation.

"A much-anticipated goal feast!"

"Simone is eye-catching, but still lost to Pan Yi"

"Although Atletico Madrid is defeated, it is glorious, they still have a chance"

"There are no losers in this game, the winner is football itself"

This is the next day when the world's major media reported on Atletico Madrid's 2:4 home defeat to Chelsea.

Most people spoke highly of both participating parties.

Everyone agrees that this game is the most exciting matchup in the Champions League this season, or even in the past two seasons.

Not only these six goals, but more importantly, every minute of the game was played in a fast-paced state, and it reflected the extremely high technical and tactical qualities of both sides.

In this way, the game can be described as hearty and hearty, bringing a pleasing game experience to all fans.

Although it is still a bitter defeat for Atletico Madrid fans, compared with the two dull defensive battles between Hamburg and Atletico Madrid led by Pan Yi two years ago, this game is obviously more worthwhile.

fare.

Le Monde stated:

"Pan Yi used his original and highly offensive -1 formation in this game, and the original center Harry Kane was also placed in the attacking midfield position in a different way. This arrangement is obviously

It’s a bit surprising.”

"But what is even more surprising is Simeone. Facing Chelsea with strong offensive firepower, Atletico Madrid also held high the offensive banner today and started to attack Chelsea without showing any weakness."

"Among them, Atletico Madrid's offensive core Griezmann played an extremely important role. He seems to be in the center position, but he is actually much more flexible."

"He can drop back to support the midfielder, dribble the ball himself, shoot, and pass wonderful assists. More importantly, he is the most stable contact point in the frontcourt. Under any circumstances, any kind of pass arrives.

His feet are a nightmare for defensive players."

"It can be said that in this style of play, Simeone took Griezmann's tactical role to the extreme. In fact, both Atletico Madrid goals in this game were instigated by Griezmann.

.”

"But Pan Yi, as a world-class coach, quickly responded and asked Kanter to focus on Griezmann, greatly reducing his performance."

"At the same time, his attacking tactics paid off and he managed to score four goals to take the lead in the first round of the knockout rounds."

"For Atletico Madrid, Simeone, and Griezmann, the result of 2-4 is undoubtedly regrettable. But now, they can only prepare for the second round."

"If they can perform better on the basis of this game, maybe they still have a chance to break Chelsea's Stamford Bridge victory record this season!"

But "The Times" believes that Chelsea's strength this season is even stronger than last season, and it is almost impossible for Atletico Madrid to make a comeback.

"I still remember that at the beginning of the season, when Pan Yi faced the media reporters, he announced Chelsea's goal of winning seven crowns in a high-profile manner. At that time, many people believed that this unprecedented Grand Slam was not enough even for the powerful Chelsea.

It’s too ethereal.”

"However, as this season progresses, Pan Yi and his Chelsea have used game after game to prove that what they said is true!"

"They have already won the European Super Cup, the Community Shield, and the Club World Cup. Especially, they just won the Premier League championship five rounds ahead of schedule. There are already five championship trophies here!"

"And now, Chelsea has reached the FA Cup final, especially in this Champions League semi-final, beating the already explosive Atletico Madrid 4:2 away. What kind of strength is this?"

"In our opinion, the last two trophies left are really not far away from Chelsea. Can Manchester United really prevent Chelsea from winning the FA Cup? And who can stop them from winning the Champions League?"

"Is it Real Madrid or Bayern Munich? I even think they are just competing for a ticket to watch the Chelsea king take the throne up close."

"Pan Yi will very likely complete three consecutive Champions League titles, and he led two different teams to complete it. If you add his experience in Milan, Pan Yi will become an unprecedented player in the history of European football. , the legendary coach who led three different league teams to win the Champions League with one person!"

"Yes, we are witnessing the birth of a great legendary history!"

Of course, the media will still pay attention to the showdown between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

This game was held one day after the Atletico Madrid VS Chelsea match, and these two teams have more stars than Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, and they are even more famous!

In addition, the duel between Guardiola and Zidane is also a match between football stars of the previous generation, and everyone is still paying close attention to it.

Between these two bald heads, is Gua Tu's tactics more reliable, or Qi Tu's metaphysics more effective?

That night, the eyes of the world's media and fans also gathered at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Of course, Pan Yi also attaches great importance to this game. After all, there are potential final opponents of Chelsea here.

After returning to London from Madrid, he first led the team to conduct recovery training, and then watched the game with his assistants.

However, unlike everyone's expectation that Bayern Munich would use their home advantage to suppress Real Madrid, Real Madrid had the upper hand in this game.

Today, Bayern did not use the -1 formation that Guardiola has practiced relatively proficiently this season, but used a formation to confront Real Madrid, which is also in the same formation.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, and the back four are Alaba, Boateng, Javi Martinez, and Lahm.

The three midfielders are Vidal, Alonso, and Thiago, and the three forwards are Ribery, Lewandowski, and Douglas Costa.

As for Robben, of course he is absent due to injury.

However, Bayern's generals felt a little uncomfortable with this system and were suppressed by Real Madrid's BBC+ midfield three.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Real Madrid launched a very threatening attack.

After Casemiro passed a long pass, Boateng quickly chased back and destroyed the opponent's pass with a header. However, Javi Martinez wanted to make a big-footed clearance, but Benzema rushed forward with a big step. Go forward and block the ball, then hit the goal directly.

Neuer's position was very good, and he directly flew to save the ball sideways.

Benzema quickly followed up, grabbed the ball and tried to beat Neuer, but the German goalkeeper knocked the ball out with a single punch, and Javi Martinez followed up and cleared the ball with a kick.

Two consecutive shots from close range allowed everyone to see the ferocity of Real Madrid.

When the game reached the final stage of the first half, Real Madrid launched several consecutive attacks and created several shooting opportunities.

First, Carvajal passed the ball from the right. Cristiano Ronaldo stepped into the back of the attack and headed the ball four meters away from the goal, but it was slightly higher than the angle of the goal.

After that, Modric made a direct pass to the left rib, and Ronaldo succeeded in countering offside. He inserted into the left side of the penalty area and pushed the shot. However, Neuer gave up the goal early and fell to the ground when he shot.

His shot was blocked.

Bell, who came in from behind, caught up with the ball and hit the goal again, but with a hasty kick, the ball hit the side netting.

Real Madrid's unremitting offensive efforts paid off in the last minute of stoppage time in the first half.

At that time, the referee could be said to have held the whistle in his mouth, and the game would end at any time.

But Cross played the ball from the center, and after Casemiro cooperated with Modric, the latter passed the ball diagonally to the left. Marcelo quickly inserted the ball with his left foot, and the placement was very accurate.

At this time, Bayern Munich's players were a little unfocused. As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo jumped up high and gave a powerful headbutt to break through the gate guarded by Neuer!

The away team fans immediately burst into cheers.

On the sidelines, Zidane touched his bald head and congratulated the players for their success; while Guardiola was so angry that he hugged his bald head on the sidelines, looking extremely regretful.

In the second half, the situation was still under Real Madrid's control, but Bayern Munich's defense became extremely strong, defusing Real Madrid's attacks time and time again.

When everyone thought the game would end with 0:1, Bayern actually played an efficient attack.

Neuer destroyed Ronaldo's chance to get a one-on-one ball at the top of the penalty area, and then drove the ball into the penalty area with a big kick.

Lewandowski beat Pepe to grab the first shot. After the ball fell, Ribery followed up with a volley.

Because the distance was too close and the ball was too fast, Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas failed to react.

Bayern equalized the score before the end!

1:1, this score, especially the process, actually surprised everyone.

Although Real Madrid seems to be stronger from the perspective of the team's lineup, after all, today is at the Allianz Stadium.

Everyone thought that Bayern would cause more trouble to Real Madrid at home, but they didn't expect that Nan Dawang would play so unsatisfactory, and were almost beaten by Real Madrid.

If Bayern players had not shown great resilience and equalized the score at the last moment, perhaps everyone would now think that Real Madrid had already entered the finals with one foot.

"The score was 1:1 at home. Not only could we not win, but Real Madrid also scored an away goal. I think it will be difficult for Bayern in the second round." Arteta analyzed:

"Based on past data, in the history of the European knockout rounds, less than 35% of the teams that ended in a draw at home in the first round were able to advance."

"If the away goal is scored first, the probability of promotion will be even lower. And considering that we will go to the Bernabeu Stadium in the next round..."

Everyone nodded.

This is basically in line with everyone’s feelings about the Champions League knockout rounds.

After all, if you cannot defeat your opponent at home, the second round will become very difficult, especially in a Champions League semi-final.

Not to mention the Bernabeu Stadium, which can be said to be the most difficult to conquer in European football in the past few years.

Bayern Munich's team is so miserable at home, how can they perform on the road?

"By the way, boss, what do you think?" Arteta turned to look at Pan Yi.

The coaches are also looking at their head coach.

Since the semi-final ended, Pan Yi seemed to be sitting on his chair thoughtfully and did not express any opinions.
