Chapter 223 I'm back

"The second stage of the Champions League group stage has gone on for five rounds... For the Champions League group stage, at this point, the situation should gradually become clear. For example, in Group A, Manchester United and Bayern tied in the first round.

From then on, they performed very well and achieved two wins and one draw against the other two opponents in the group. Then in the fifth round that just passed, they worked very well to draw again and became

The qualifying team in this group. Real Madrid in Group C is the standout. They have won five consecutive games in the first five rounds. Panathinaikos, Porto and Sparta Prague can only work hard for the second place in the group. Before the game, it was called

Group D of the Group of Death is a little more complicated. Deportivo now has ten points and Leverkusen has seven points. These two teams will fight against each other in the final round. Arsenal currently has the same points.

It's seven points. Juventus is at the bottom with an astonishing four points. If they can beat Arsenal in the last round and Deportivo defeat Leverkusen, then they can miraculously qualify! Deportivo

Having won two consecutive games against Arsenal, they have qualified early. The last round is the time to preserve their strength, so this group is actually Leverkusen, Arsenal and Juventus competing for the last qualifying spot!

Now, let us talk about the last group of the Champions League, which is also the most bizarre group..."

"When the Champions League reaches the fifth round, basically the points for the first place in the group are already very high. For example, Real Madrid's current points are an astonishing 15 points for victory! Deportivo La Coruna and Manchester United also have ten points.

And nine points... But when we see the points of Atletico Madrid in Group C, we should be surprised, because Atletico Madrid's points are only seven points! Is it because they are not first in the group? No, they are in the group

First, because other teams have lower points than them..."

"Roma and Galatasaray both achieved five consecutive draws in the Champions League group stage! After Atletico Madrid won the first round, they also drew the next four games, while Liverpool lost in the first round.

The next four rounds of the league were tied! In the final round, Atletico Madrid will challenge Galatasaray away from home, while Liverpool will face Roma at home! No matter who wins, the winning team will advance

In the knockout round, the loser will definitely be eliminated... Oh, no, if Atletico Madrid loses to Galatasaray and then Liverpool wins Roma, Atletico Madrid can rely on their record advantage over Liverpool to gain the right to qualify. If

If the games are all tied, then Atletico Madrid and... Oh, this is a bit troublesome, because Roma and Galatasaray will both have six points, and the two games between them are

Tied one to one, the goal difference is zero... Well, let's look at the number of goals. They all scored five goals! If the final round of games is all zero to zero, then this situation is really

Surprising! Let’s interview members of the UEFA competition committee…”

"The answer is out. If this extreme situation occurs, then Roma will advance! Because Roma only received one red card in the first five rounds of the league, while Galatasaray received two! Even if Roma

If a player receives a red card in the last round, then the number of yellow cards will be compared, and Galatasaray is also far ahead!"

The complex environment of this group surprised everyone. Countless media and TV stations began to analyze various situations in the final round. Generally speaking, Atletico Madrid still had an advantage. The victory at Anfield Stadium allowed them to win in the final round.

Only a draw in one round is enough to enter the Champions League quarter-finals. Liverpool's situation is the worst. They must defeat Roma in the last round, and Atletico Madrid cannot lose, otherwise Galatasaray will defeat Atletico Madrid.

The points can reach eight points. Although Liverpool and Atletico Madrid also have seven points, Atletico Madrid has an advantage in the winning relationship between them.

Of course, Atletico Madrid does not mean that they can sit back and relax. If they lose to Galatasaray and Roma defeat Liverpool, then they will get out of the Champions League and will not even have a chance to win the UEFA Cup.

!

"Well, Robert, actually I really admire you."

Dick turned the wine glass in his hand and said to Marina with a smile.

Marriner looked ashamed: "Stop talking, Di, I'm already very ashamed... Such a good situation was almost ruined in my hands, if they didn't always get a draw with each other.

, we might be at the bottom of the group now."

This is true, because although Atletico Madrid can get one point in every game, if the opponents decide the winner, one game will be three points! If the combination is weirder, Atletico Madrid will have an unbeaten record

Being at the bottom of the identity group is really not a rare thing.

"It goes without saying what happened." Dick shook his head: "I am a person who only pays attention to the results and not the process. In fact, in these few games when I can't direct the team, you try your best to

It has preserved Atletico Madrid's vitality, restrained other teams, and made the situation of this group extremely chaotic! Chaos is good, chaos is the only way we can profit from chaos! Now our situation is also the best!

The injured players have all returned, and you are unlucky enough. However, players are constantly getting injured during this period. To be able to do this, you are already amazing, Robert."

Dick's words were really not meant to comfort Marriner. During this period, Atletico Madrid suffered a lot of injuries. Belleron, Jardel, Vicente, and Capdevila were all injured one after another, although they all took a break.

The minor injury, which can be healed in two days, also caused a lot of trouble for Atletico Madrid's formation. In addition, Dick was unable to command from the sidelines. Although he could give some instructions through some small movements, such command

The timeliness is not very high, and sometimes the opportunity is fleeting!

Now, there is still a lot of good news for Atletico Madrid. With Camoranesi returning from injury two weeks ago, Stam also returned from injury a week ago. The return of this top central defender will undoubtedly make Atletico Madrid

His defense has become even better and extremely powerful. Although a veteran like him has been idle for a while, he is a defender after all. It is much easier to find a feeling than a forward. He started the game in the last round of the league.

After playing for seventy minutes and performing well, these injured players returned one after another, making Atletico Madrid's strength begin to become extremely strong again!

"The media are saying that we only need a draw to qualify for the group, but this is not enough." Dick said to Marriner: "This Galatasaray team, in terms of the strength of the players,

, not particularly outstanding, but their hard work and tenacious fighting spirit are very troublesome! Although I hate this team, I have to admit that they have a tough style and tenacious fighting spirit.

It is a difficult opponent to deal with. If we go to the away game with the idea that we can qualify with a draw, the final result may be disastrous! Although Liverpool will also work hard to defeat Roma at home, we cannot pin our hopes of promotion on

Others! This is the stupidest behavior. Only by taking everything in our own hands can we better attack the victory! If we can advance through the efforts of others, then we will enter the knockout round

, it won’t go too far. Don’t forget that the teams we faced in the knockout round are all powerful teams that have gone through two brutal tests in the group stage. There is no half-baked team!”

"You're right, Di, sometimes performance is more important than promotion." Marriner nodded.

"That's true." Dick laughed.

The next day at the training ground, Dick called all the players over.

"Long time no see, do you miss me?" Dick looked at the players and said with a smile.

The Atletico Madrid players were all dumbfounded. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. Don’t we meet on the training ground every day? We even went to a nightclub together when we had nothing to do...

But they also knew what Dick meant by what he said, long time no see. What he actually meant was that he had already missed three games in the Champions League. In the three Champions League games, Atletico Madrid players watched from the coaching bench.

Can’t see that thin and confident figure!

"I will be back with you in the next game... Regarding the final round of the Champions League, I don't think I need to analyze anything, because newspapers, TV stations... they have already analyzed too much! Yes, in the end

We only need a draw in one round to advance to the knockout rounds. Even if we lose the game, as long as Liverpool can beat or draw with Roma, we can still qualify... But is that what we want?"

Dick looked around the players with bright eyes: "Perhaps in the eyes of many people, it is enough as long as we can advance, because after the advancement, all of us will be on the same starting line, and then we will just have to fight... This

This idea cannot be said to be wrong, after all, the result comes first. But... I don’t think so!"

"I firmly believe that our victory will not be a big problem. I firmly believe that we will be able to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. However, I will not forget that last year, at our home court, Galatasaray used that method

We failed to win the game! In that game, we obviously performed very well! But because they frightened the referee, we could only fight for a draw in the game... I don't even think about it.

I will forget that in order to fight for the environment we deserve, I was suspended for three games!"

"This approach is wrong! It is wrong to scare others and treat others with rough actions in order to win but to make a profit! The world should not be like this! Football matches should not be like this! So

We want to use an upright victory to let everyone know what a football game should be like! What things should be like! We want to make things the way they should be!"

"What should a football match be like? It should be about each other's ingenuity, and the players fighting hard on the field. There can be fouls, but there should be no rough-and-tumble actions that cause intentional harm! If everyone thinks that using cruel methods to scare people

If it is natural to profit from our opponents, then we will use our actions to tell everyone what the game should be like!"

Dick's voice was not loud, but every word, word and sentence hit the hearts of Atletico Madrid players hard.

Defeating Galatasaray and advancing to the knockout rounds of the Champions League as the unquestionable first place in the group, let everyone know what Atletico Madrid's football is and what upright football is!

Before leading the team to fly to Türkiye, Dick held a press conference, in which he simply said one sentence.

"Everyone, I'm back!"
