Ranieri, who was preparing to fly to Calderon, held the newspaper in his hand tremblingly and was silent for a long time.

"This guy is a bit wicked. It doesn't matter if he doesn't do other people's work. What's going to happen if Atletico Madrid is activated?"

The assistant coach next to him also frowned, "8 to 0, now it's good. Fatty Fan's prediction has come true, and we are the ones who will suffer."

"Atletico Madrid currently ranks first with 2 wins and 1 draw, and Bayern ranks second with 2 wins and 1 loss. If we cannot get at least one point in the away game, we can prepare to play in the Europa League!"

"Yes, according to original estimates, Atletico Madrid should be at a low point now, which is a great opportunity for us to get all three points!"

Van Gaal, who was preparing for Lucky Day, smiled lightly when he saw the report. He seemed not to care, but in his heart, ten thousand Cao Nima was running through:

"Has my mouth been opened?"

...

Before Simeone could lament that he had done an inhumane thing, the Roma team's plane had already landed in Madrid.

The second round of the contest between the two sides was only 14 days apart.

14 days ago, Atletico Madrid almost "overturned" at the Olympic Stadium!

Atletico Madrid 14 days later gave the visiting Roma team some headaches.

At the pre-match press conference, Ranieri said cryptically: "The team's goal is to go further in the European war, so we will do our best to face every game, and the players will also do our best to face every game.

Fight for the fans!”

This game was just as Ranieri said before the game.

Roma directly put up a lineup of 541 at Calderon. Ranieli keenly discovered that once Atletico Madrid lines up 451, it is best not to fight with the opponent in the midfield, as that will be a big loss.

Aguero looks like a future world-class striker, but he needs the support of his teammates even more.

He is not the kind of player who can complete an offense on his own. At this point, he is far behind his compatriot Messi.

In this case, Ranieri was prepared to do the opposite, giving up the fight in the midfield and instead consolidating the defense in the penalty area.

As for long-range shots? How many can you hit in one game?

The course of the game was just as Ranieri expected.

Simeone deployed a 451 formation at his home court, and the combination of Lindy and Thiago in the frontcourt made Atletico Madrid's offense more diverse.

Paul Assuncao, a veteran, has been the main player in the rotation this season and can ensure sufficient physical strength in every game.

Atletico Madrid showed absolute control, whether in the midfield or in the frontcourt, Roma's players were at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

But after the 90-minute game, Ranieri smiled and shook hands with Simeone.

The latter's face obviously didn't look good, and he reluctantly shook hands with the "bad old man" in his eyes.

Simeone left the field with a dark face.

Even the post-match press conference was attended by Herman.

During the 90-minute game, Wolf King Totti personally stood outside the penalty area to help the team consolidate its defense.

No one was left in the midfield and frontcourt. In this case, both De Rossi and Menez obediently stayed in the penalty area.

No one dared to step forward past Wolf King Totti.

As if in a confrontation between two armies, the general swung his sword across the ground: Anyone who dares to cross this line will be killed!

The 11-man bus team and the Italian chain defense allowed Atletico Madrid to blast for 90 minutes without any results.

And Lindy's long-range shot seemed to lack some luck. Once it was saved by the goalkeeper, and the other time it was just over the crossbar.

Similarly, Aguero failed to continue his previous form, failed to seize the opportunities given to him by his teammates, and fell into Roma's defensive quagmire.

On the other side, Bayern, playing away from home, easily defeated Luxembourg.

The fourth round of Group E is over.

Bayern Munich ranks first with 9 points from 3 wins and 1 loss;

Atletico Madrid has 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 points, temporarily ranking second;

Roma has 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses and 4 points, temporarily ranking third, retaining the hope of promotion;

Luke has 1 draw, 3 losses and 1 point, ranking fourth in the group. It belongs to the stage where you can earn more ticket money by playing more games.

In other groups, Ajax in Group G lost to Real Madrid and Auxerre in succession and drew with AC Milan.

We no longer have the ability to compete for the top two spots in the group, so we can only hold our noses and prepare to participate in the Europa League qualifying rounds.

This also made Suarez, who was originally very ambitious, strengthen his belief in going to the five major league giants next season.

In such a team, it is too difficult to make a mark in the Champions League.

They mostly dominate the Eredivisie behind closed doors.

Inter Milan in Group A also encountered some troubles after losing legendary coach Mourinho.

Inter Milan's results have become extremely unstable. First, in the league, they allowed their local rivals to overtake them in the standings.

Then they drew with the little-known Eredivisie Twente Football Club in the Champions League group stage.

But this was just the beginning. They lost to Tottenham 1-3 in the next game, directly handing over the top spot in the group.

There are no changes in the situation of other groups.

After consecutive draws with Rubin Kazan and Copenhagen, Barcelona can still rank first in the group by virtue of its unbeaten advantage.

This makes other club managers participating in the Champions League jealous.

Who wouldn't be envious of being ranked number one and entering the top 16, giving you more experience in dealing with domestic leagues?

Judging from the current points, if Atletico Madrid cannot defeat Bayern Munich in the next game.

Then their opponents in the top 16 will be Tottenham, Schalke 04, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Shakhtar.

Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​as teams under the same Football Association, will not be drawn.

Bayern Munich, as the number one player in the same group, will not be drawn.

Assuming Atletico Madrid can double beat Bayern, or Roma can snipe Bayern, then Atletico Madrid's opponent in the top 16 draw will become:

Inter Milan, Lyon, Copenhagen, Marseille, AC Milan, Arsenal;

Simeone looked at the media's predictions and looked at Hermann: "There doesn't seem to be any difference?"

"According to the [script], who do you think we will draw?" Herman seemed to be interested.

Simeone touched his chin and began to think: "Inter Milan can be ruled out. Although that is their favorite drama, without Mourinho, this drama will lose a lot of highlights."

"The same is true for Marseille. Don't even think about Copenhagen. It's impossible for a 'mud-legged' guy to have such good luck."

"Then the only ones left are AC Milan and Arsenal."

Hermann nodded in agreement, but changed the subject and said something Simeone didn't want to hear: "It will be difficult for us to win the next game, believe me, Diego!"

"We are very likely to encounter Manchester United or Chelsea for the second time. How about a revenge battle? Is it attractive enough?"

Simeone sighed, "Hey, Atletico Madrid still doesn't have enough foundation. Don't worry, give me two years, and I will definitely make Atletico Madrid stand on top of Europe again!"
Chapter completed!
