After a brief end to the league journey.

The entire Atletico Madrid team has entered into the rhythm of preparing for the Champions League knockout rounds.

In daily training, Flores constantly adjusts the lineup based on everyone's performance.

Especially the starting striker has changed from Aguero to Forlan and then to Aguero.

On the defense line, Ibáñez, Ujfalusi, Perea and Domingos are also competing for the ball.

On the last day before departure, Flores finally finalized the entire lineup and led the team to France with confidence.

And Lindy also had full communication with his personal team before setting off.

He believes that his core focus is firstly defense, and secondly the pivot between the front and backcourt.

The last step is the offensive organization, and the priorities must be clearly distinguished.

Due to insufficient points, Lindy planned to give it a try and get 500,000 points to directly redeem [God-Level Prediction].

[God-level prediction]: S-level passive skill, there is a 20% (50% at full level) probability of predicting the next movement direction of the football during the game, allowing you to always be one step ahead.

Oops, Lindy doesn’t know if you don’t see it. Sure enough, the skill of 500,000 yuan is awesome. He must advance to the Champions League.

The results in the European competition are so valuable that even the Ballon d'Or depends on the results in such competitions.

It's no use just being awesome in the league.

February 16th.

The plane landed at Saint-Exupéry Airport in Lyon, France.

Florest came to Lyon two days early, and this was the first time he led the team into the knockout stages of the Champions League.

And relatively speaking, getting Lyon is considered a good draw.

After all, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Bayern, AC Milan, etc. are not so easy to deal with.

Let them go shopping with Real Madrid and Barcelona first.

Adapt to the venue at the Gerland Stadium and conduct pre-match training.

Flores' goal is to score at least 1 goal and draw here.

In this way, when he returns to the Calderon Stadium, he will be confident enough to win the promotion spot.

Because the 18th is the match day against Lyon.

Everyone who arrived at Atletico Madrid in advance was asked not to leave the stadium without special circumstances.

Although Flores participates in the players' activities on a daily basis, this does not mean that he is unclear about certain people's hobbies.

If it's the night before a game, spread all your energy on the ground.

Then the result of the next day's game can be imagined.

The players, who were extremely bored staying in the hotel, could only find some entertainment activities on their own.

Since the hotel where it is located does not have fitness facilities, Lindy cannot sweat here.

However, under his leadership, various Chinese languages ​​rang out in the hotel room: "Robbing the landlord!"

"I can't afford it!"

"The flowers I have been waiting for have faded!"

According to Lindy, if you don't use these words when attacking landlords, it will be as tasteless as steak without salt.

In the end, even Flores joined in, sighing at the charm of the Chinese language and sighing that it turns out that there is more to Texas than poker.

…

The game will be held on the evening of the 18th.

Stade Gerland, this stadium completed in 1926, has accompanied Lyon to win seven French Ligue 1 championship trophies and four French Cup championships.

In the summer of 1998, it was renovated and used as a World Cup venue.

However, this historic stadium will soon be replaced by the Olympic Park Stadium.

The new stadium is expected to be completed by the end of 2013, and the entire stadium can accommodate up to 60,000 fans.

There are nearly 20,000 more fans than the current 41,000 fans.

The game has not even started yet, and crazy Lyon fans have already poured into the Stade Gerland in large numbers.

The huge noise shocked Lindy, who had witnessed the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Because the locker room door can't stop people's enthusiasm at all.

It turns out that the number of people does not mean the sound.

This makes Lindy more familiar with the Westfalenstadion, Istanbul Stadium, Anfield Stadium, Allianz Arena, Meazza/San Siro (in no particular order), Camp Nou, Old Trafford and other stadiums.

Yearning. (It’s not the word water, it’s the fear of death!)

At the press conference before the game, Flores and Claude Pierre harmoniously exchanged business reports.

The reporters who came here lamented that it was boring. Neither of them were the kind of people who liked to know the news.

In contrast, they prefer Mourinho, who is rumored to be coveting the Champions League title.

The press conference ended hastily in this way.

Flores returned to the locker room and once again emphasized the tactical arrangements for today's game to the players: "Today we will play 451..."

Soon, players from both sides were waiting in the tunnel to play.

The two teams have rarely met each other before, and there is not even a Spanish player in Lyon's lineup.

The only ones who can communicate with each other may be Atletico Madrid's Aguero and Lyon's Lisandro Lopez and Cesar Delgado.

They were both Argentineans and now each had his own master. They made eye contact but did not speak.

"Zhuang Baiyuekui TV Station!"

"Zhuang Baiyuekui TV Station!"

"Welcome to everyone to watch the first round of the Champions League knockout stage brought to you by Sports Channel this weekend. The two sides are Atletico Madrid and Olympique Lyon."

"I am your old friend, Lao Liu."

"I'm your pony and an old friend."

"This game was held in Lyon, France. Atletico Madrid wore their traditional black away jersey and their traditional home white jersey."

"Oh, we have got the starting lineups of both sides. Atletico Madrid has arranged it, eh? This is the 451 single arrow formation: goalkeeper: Asenjo, defender: Uyfalusi, Valera, Lopez

, Ibañez, midfielder: Lindy, Thiago, Jurado, Simao and Reyes on both sides, forward: Aguero.”

"This is a new lineup. Atletico Madrid used to play 442 or 4132. This time it is rare to use a 451 lineup."

"No, this is a variant of 4141. I don't know if this lineup can be effective in today's game."

Xiao Ma was a little curious. Isn't it normal for the formation to change? Is Lao Liu old, so he was shocked.

"Lyon seems to have put up a 451 formation, goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris, full-backs: Antoine Reviere, Ale Sissoko, central defender: Chris Marque Gomez (

Unify Chris at the back), Boumsong, defensive midfielder position: Tulalang, double midfield partner: Mialem Piachini and Jan Macon, bilateral midfielders: Delgado and Govou, forward:

Lisandro Lopez.”

"Atletico Madrid needs to be careful. This lineup seems to be specifically designed to restrain Atletico Madrid. It has thickness in defense and speed in counterattack. This game does not seem to be easy."

"Then let us cheer for Lindy~ Lindy~ Come on! Come on! Come on!" Xiao Ma's soft voice sounded again, making everyone in front of the TV unable to restrain themselves.

Some people looked for tissues, while others looked at their right hands.

But with the referee's whistle, everyone suddenly entered sage mode.

He silently slapped his brother twice, then picked up the beer and took a few gulps.

Lyon took the lead.

From the beginning, Lyon did not take the lead in attacking Atletico Madrid's defense.

Instead, he launched a positional attack very skillfully, the moment he got the starting lineup.

Claude Pierre changed his mind. What happened to playing defense at his home court?

I didn’t see Mourinho getting on the bus from the first game of the damn group stage to prevent counterattacks, it’s not embarrassing!

…

ps: Lyon is really strong, and the international football team is densely packed. Please make more updates on weekends. I will post one chapter after another.

There are some games that really cannot be skipped. There are 38 league games in a season, more than a dozen games in the Copa del Rey, and more than 10 games to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

I try to make them as reasonable as possible, otherwise, the season will be over in the blink of an eye, hang~
Chapter completed!
