Barcelona coach Luis Enrique reiterated Catalonia's slogan for a week at the pre-match press conference.
"We need a miracle, and we firmly believe that the team can create miracles!"
Simeone was not tough before the game.
The game is played!
The words "spreading" are meaningless.
April 13, evening.
Atletico Madrid fans prepared a "gift" for Barcelona at Stadium Calderon.
A spectacular tifo emerged from the stands.
The red and blue base background symbolizes Barcelona, ​​and the center is the scene where the whole team celebrates after Ye Yifeng scored the final goal in Atletico Madrid last game.
The moment Ye Yifeng stepped back and jumped up and ran into the crowd from the air.
However, the hand-painted pattern turned his smile into a more passionate crying expression.
It was a scene from the hot Champions League last week to the weekend.
Tang Mo also specially washed out a high-definition picture and included it in the collection of wonderful moments in Ye Yifeng's arena.
There is a sentence written at the top of tifo.
Unity, fearlessness, and move forward bravely!
The starters of the two teams stood on the court, Ye Yifeng looked solemn. When the Champions League reached the quarterfinals, he was climbing to the new peak of his career every step forward!
"Good evening, everyone, everyone, welcome to watch the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in the 2015-2016 season, Atletico Madrid faced defending champion Barcelona at home.
A week ago at Camp Nou, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 3:2 to establish the advantage of the score. Barcelona needs to beat Atletico Madrid away in this game to have hope of turning the tables. If they are 1:0 or 2:1, they will still be eliminated. 3:2, the two teams enter overtime, and the other winning scores can turn the tables.
Barcelona's recent condition is really worrying. They missed the opportunity to narrow the gap with the top in the league. If they cannot turn around away today, citing reports from Catalan media, Barcelona will lose everything within 8 days.
They may end up fighting for one Cup of Rey season.
Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona in the Champions League knockout two years ago, and history is likely to repeat today.
Atletico Madrid starts 442.
Goalkeeper: Oblak.
Defenders: Juan Fran, Godin, Savage, Felipe Louis.
Midfielders: Cork, Gabi, Saul, Correa.
Forward: Torres, Ye Yifeng.
Griezmann was suspended in the first leg and today he sat in the stands to watch the game.
Atletico Madrid's starting lineup is still tough, and they will inevitably use tenacious defense at home to curb Barcelona's offensive.
Barcelona starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba.
Midfielders: Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic.
Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Neymar.
Like the starting lineup a week ago, Barcelona still came up with their strongest lineup.
The game is about to begin, let's see if Barcelona will be restrained by Atletico Madrid's defensive counterattack again today.
If Barcelona cannot win today, they will write an embarrassing record against Atletico Madrid four times this season, without a single victory.”
The fanatical cheers of Calderon Stadium vibrated everywhere.
When the game started, Barcelona kicked off, and Atletico Madrid had as many as four players launched a quick counterattack near the center circle.
The Barcelona generals were caught off guard!
Atletico Madrid, who set up a turtle formation a week ago, took drugs today?
When Torres and Ye Yifeng pressed against Rakitic and Iniesta respectively, Barcelona's offense had to turn to the wing.
Messi dribbled forward on the right and rushed forward quickly, Saul and Correa immediately pressed him continuously.
Messi's shoulders were swinging and changing direction, and his speed was accelerated and turned sharply. After getting rid of the two of them, Savage attacked and intercepted the ball.
Atletico Madrid's defense was successful and launched a fast attack immediately.
Ye Yifeng responded from behind the center circle. After receiving the ball, he pulled the ball and turned around and took the initiative to fight to knock Iniesta away. Then he passed the ball to the ground and sent it to the right side of the frontcourt.
Cork rushed forward quickly, Torres followed up in the middle, Atletico Madrid's defense entered the state quickly, and the crazy counterattack was highly aggressive, and the defensive counterattack was of no sluggishness.
Torres responded to Cork's pass from the right in front of the penalty area, and directly kicked the ball without making any adjustments!
The football flew to the near corner of the goal and was blocked by Ter Stegen.
Alba retreated and controlled the ball at the bottom line, while Torres and Cork quickly retreated.
Torres pressed to defend Rakitic again, while Ye Yifeng still targeted Iniesta.
The two wing forwards swept their hunching style today and went forward to guard Neymar and Messi in close combat.
He was completely unafraid of getting rid of the opponent's position.
Louis Enrique looked solemn.
The "barbaric" attitude in Atletico Madrid after the opening was unexpected.
It really caught Barcelona off guard.
When Barcelona wanted to speed up, they found that the midfield was frozen!
The defense of Torres and Ye Yifeng along with each other caused Barcelona's control ability to significantly decline, and the conditions for shaping the offensive situation were also damaged.
Simeone's face was as deep as water, and his quiet eyes sat on the coach's seat made him, the suit thug, look like a rational beast.
In the first round at Camp Nou, Atletico Madrid played extreme defense against the enemy.
Back in the second leg, Atletico Madrid still played defensive counterattacks, but its defensive initiative has improved a lot. The focus is no longer on curbing the activity space of the MSN combination, but it aims at Barcelona's core midfielder!
There is no doubt that Barcelona's MSN combination requires midfield delivery shells.
Moreover, when transferring the offense, the excessive effect of the midfield is also very critical.
When the season comes to its final stage, can Iniesta, who is nearly 32 years old, persist in a high-intensity game of 90 minutes?
Rakitic was originally an obvious weakness in the ups and downs of Barcelona's state, and Neymar.
Controlling Rakitic and Iniesta is equivalent to destroying Barcelona's two legs in the attack!
Without the force of their legs, even if their wings are strong, they cannot take off the ground!
Ye Yifeng, who is full of physical strength and full of vitality, is definitely worthy of his role as a player symbolized by wearing the No. 10 jersey on the court today!
In the 7th minute of the game, when Neymar could not wait for Alba to come to pick up the ball, he could only do it alone. Juan Fran blocked the outside line and was forced to turn inward. When he encountered Gabi, he then turned to cut inward, and when he was hit by Gabi, Ye Yifeng suddenly flew past him, intercepted the ball with his right foot, and then stepped on the football.
Neymar quickly came forward to grab it. Ye Yifeng was prepared and took the initiative to fight against Lieutenant General Neymar to break away!
Then he pulled the ball and turned around. Facing Iniesta who was robbing at this time, Ye Yifeng walked around the courtyard and completed the collision with Saul near the wall.
He had just stepped forward and Neymar, who had been scrambling from the ground from the side, rushed to knock him to the ground.
The referee blew a foul on Neymar.
When Ye Yifeng stood up, Neymar stood in front of him, his fierce expression seemed to be very concerned about Ye Yifeng's collision just now.
Ye Yifeng looked puzzled and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Neymar pointed at him and said, "Please restrain me."
Cork rushed up and asked for help. Ye Yifeng raised his hand to block Cork and asked Neymar in confusion: "The referee didn't call me a foul just now, right? Look, the referee is here, you can go and ask why he didn't call me a foul, he will give you the answer.
If you can't let the referee call me a foul, I'll hit you like that next time."
Ye Yifeng took the initiative to retreat two steps after he said that.
Neymar argued with the referee again. The referee punished him for a foul anyway, so he didn't give him a card and gave him a verbal warning.
In the 9th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt fast break, Torres made a diagonal pass to Correa who was inserted in the middle of the frontcourt. The latter shot a long shot outside the penalty area and sent the ball into Ter Stegen's arms.
Barcelona fast attack.
Their pace today is very bad, especially the formation cannot be suppressed!
Without midfield passes and control to shape the situation, it is difficult to gain an advantage in the scene.
When Busquets passed the ball to Messi, Messi tried to go to the outside from the right but found that Felipe Luis stepped forward to grab the blockade line in advance.
A sudden stop changed direction and dribbled from behind Correa. Messi's on-the-spot ball control reaction was still so good that it was feared.
Saul came up and blocked the inside, Messi dived the ball across and was stabbed by Ye Yifeng first.
Savage stepped forward and passed the ball to Ye Yifeng diagonally.
Turn around and quickly push forward. Before Iniesta can reach his sight, he will give a diagonal pass against the ground, and Cork enters the frontcourt from the right.
Ye Yifeng and Torres followed up in the middle.
Cork came to the offensive dangerous area when he dribbled the ball and sent a diagonal pass against Alba.
Torres took the initiative to observe the situation behind him during the reception, stopped the ball and adjusted it and sent it back.
Ye Yifeng instantly turned around and retreated, causing Rakitic to lose, and changed direction and dribbled across the middle, snatched the ball from Busquets to go to the left in front of the penalty area.
Correa ran wildly and cut inside and touched the ball and passed it.
The football flew to the right rib of the penalty area, and Torres headed the ball forward!
Mascherano blocked slowly.
As a result, the football hit the net on the goal, and the angle was a little worse.
Atletico Madrid's frontcourt offensive players quickly returned to defense.
The fanatical cheers of home fans are very consistent with the current situation on the court.
Atletico Madrid is not cowardly at all!
Go quickly and fight quickly.
I don't love to fight in the frontcourt.
The backcourt is not chaotic.
It’s like an iron beast that is not necessarily gorgeous and coquettish on the court, but it’s absolutely majestic and thick!
In the 15th minute of the game, Neymar dribbled on the left, and this time he planned to go to the outside line.
Juan Fran blocked the outside line, and Cork quickly returned to defend and blocked his inner line.
Neymar's possession space was compressed to become smaller and smaller, so he pulled the ball and turned to try to find his teammate in the middle or behind him.
But as soon as he turned around, he was knocked over by Ye Yifeng. Ye Yifeng was called by the referee when he controlled the ball and dribbled forward.
He picked up the football and smiled bitterly.
I was originally planning to forcefully intercept the ball from behind Neymar, but I didn't expect the opponent to turn around.
I was indeed going to the ball during the sudden brake, but there was indeed a foul during the collision.
After all, it's too fierce.
He walked with a football in his left arm and patted Neymar, who was rolling around on the ground and covering his face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Ye Yifeng had a good attitude, but Neymar opened his hands and slapped his hands off.
He asked with a fierce look on his face: "You absolutely fucking meant!"
Ye Yifeng said helplessly: "Okay, I admit that I deceived you just now. Even if the referee would call me a foul, I would still hit you like that, but this is too normal on the court, isn't it?
Don't be so petty. If you hit me, I will never care.
Get up, okay?"
Neymar ultimately did not accept Ye Yifeng's hand of friendship.
The referee did not show Ye Yifeng a yellow card, but also a verbal warning.
Ye Yifeng threw the football away, and Atletico Madrid's defensive formation was already set.
Chapter completed!
