Super Marshal

Every time the result of the UEFA Champions League draw is released, a few are happy and a little sad.

Soon, all kinds of conspiracy theories also rushed to emerge.

Anyway, the rules are there, no matter who is drawn, it is impossible to make all teams happy.

However, the sixteen teams participating in the second stage of the group stage began to seize the time to prepare.

In the intensive schedule of the first stage of the group stage, Atletico Madrid's physical fitness and form were adjusted well, and the team's rotation was also orderly, so the team decided to continue after summing up experience.

Between the two stages of the group matches, there were a total of more than two weeks. Alpine rotated in the league and handed over the players to the physical coach Buenaventura for special training in batches for the next second stage. Prepare for the schedule.

But Atletico Madrid still defeated the Espanyol and Real Betis teams by 2-1 away and 1-0 at home, and soon ushered in the first game of the second group stage.

Vs. Rome at home!

This season, Capello's team did not perform well in Serie A, having just lost to Parma in the league zero to three.

At present, Serie A has played eleven rounds. Roma has four wins, four draws and three losses, scoring 21 goals and conceding 19 goals, ranking only ninth in the league.

But in the Champions League, Capello's team performance was a bit dumbfounding.

Two wins, three draws and one loss in the group stage, ranked second behind Real Madrid.

What's interesting is that they only scored three goals. Among the 32 participating teams, they ranked third from the bottom, only one goal more than Sparta Moscow, who lost all six games, and Genk, Belgium, in the same group.

But Capello's team only lost four goals in the six rounds of the group stage, buckled the first round and lost to Real Madrid 0-3, and only lost one of the remaining five rounds. The defense is quite good.

From this data is enough to see that Capello's team is a typical one-to-zero team.

But if Roma is underestimated because of this, then any team will pay the price, including Real Madrid.

The Galaxy Battleship is self-recognized as a strong offensive, so after a three-to-zero away win in the first round, the two sides met in the second round. At the Bernabeu Stadium, they wanted to eat Roma in one bite, but Capello's team was beaten one to zero.

With the lessons learned from Real Madrid, Gao Han did not dare to be careless.

In the face of Atletico Madrid, which is so powerful that Lien Chan has won, Capello also dared not underestimate the enemy.

In order to better suppress Atletico Madrid's midfielder, Capello adjusted the formation to four or four.

This is also the formation they used when they upset Real Madrid at the Bernabéu Stadium.

The goalkeeper is Antonioli, the defenders are Candela, Samuel, Zebina and Panucci, the midfielders are Delvecchio, Lima, Emerson and Cafu, and the double forwards are Cassano partners. Totti.

Argentine veteran center Baptista sat on the bench.

Not only that, under Capello's meticulous arrangement, Roma also played a steal as soon as the game opened.

In just three minutes, after a continuous pass through the midfield, Roma caught the loophole on Marchena's side, passed through the penalty area from the left rib, and Cassano made a low shot from close range.

Fortunately, Cech reacted swiftly and flew to save the ball, which was able to resolve a goal crisis.

However, the Roma team's first start, still surprised Atletico Madrid.

…………

…………

"The team trained by Capello is not easy at all!"

Standing under the roof of the coach's bench at Madrid's Calderon Stadium, Gao Han sighed softly.

A cloud of white smoke vaguely rose before his eyes.

It is now the end of November, and the twelfth lunar month is beginning to usher in. Madrid has just had another rain, the air is cold and humid, and the ground is wet and slippery. This is quite a pass for a team like Atletico Madrid unfavorable.

The reason why Marchena failed to plug the leak in his left rib was because he almost slipped and was half a beat slow.

"This rain came very suddenly, we were caught off guard, and they are definitely not much better." Cantarello said.

Gao Han nodded, both teams were defenseless.

Even because of this sudden rain, many of the team's pre-match preparations were completely useless.

But some things cannot be changed.

"Tell them that the opening attack is our characteristic, don't lose to the opponent!" Gao Han smiled confidently.

"I want to see if Capello really dares to accompany me to play counterattacks!"

Even Gao Han was anxious for Rome to come out and fight.

Cantarello was also used to obeying Gao Han's instructions and immediately walked to the sidelines and conveyed his meaning to the court.

…………

As Alpine adjusted, Atletico Madrid began to put pressure on Roma on the pitch.

Soon, Villa got a chance on the left and shot a long shot.

But the angle of this shot was too right, and it was easily taken off by goalkeeper Antonioli. There was no threat at all.

Soon, it was still on the left. After Villa forced the ball to break through and failed, he crossed the middle. After Samuel intercepted midway, the ball fell at Kaka's feet.

As soon as Brazil's front midfielder got the ball, he made a precise through ball and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Antonioli attacked decisively and confiscated the ball before Torres.

But soon, Atletico Madrid organized an offensive again. Dario Srna stepped forward and formed a cooperation with Torres, then made a low pass from the right, and Villa quickly stepped in.

Just when Villa was about to score, goalkeeper Antonio Lifei shot the ball out with a single punch, resolving the crisis again.

A continuous wave of fierce offensive, although failed to form a goal, but helped Atletico Madrid to regain control of the situation on the field.

As expected by the cold, Capello didn't dare to enter easily and started to defend his own half, with the intention of defending and counterattacking.

But Gao Han is no longer the fledgling kid two years ago.

After two seasons of training, the high-cold and deep-dumb court took advantage of the situation, and it was a multiplier with half the effort.

So he immediately adjusted the team again and asked the whole team to speed up. At the same time, he used two four-star assault cards and offensive cards in the coaching system to form a rapid combination of card effects and strengthen the offensive.

After this continuous action, Atletico Madrid began to exert greater pressure on Roma on the pitch.

Let Rome's entire midfielder look like a big enemy, all trembling, everyone walking on thin ice, for fear of mistakes.

But sometimes the more nervous, the easier it is to make mistakes.

In the twenty-third minute, after Atletico Madrid passed continuously, Kaka smashed the ball into the Roma defense. After attracting the attention of the two Brazilian compatriots Emerson and Lima, he suddenly distributed the ball to Deco, who was inserted. .

Deco took the ball and once again gave a sharp pass, trying to pass behind the defensive line.

This line of cooperation has been played before, and Roma was mentally prepared. Panucci blocked the line of the ball in time and wanted to destroy the ball with his big foot.

Unexpectedly, Deco's through-the-foot kick with a strong spin, coupled with the slippery grass, Panucci's hurried foot to make a clearance, did not kick the right position, not only failed to clear the siege, but instead Staggering and slipping to the ground.

How could Villa, who had been in ambush, missed such a godsend opportunity, quickly inserted from behind, and caught up with the ball in the penalty area.

But at this time, Rome's defender Samuel has also been back in place.

One to one!

As the top scorer in La Liga, Villa's scoring ability has always been daunting, but he is more than just scoring.

Quick and sharp dribbling breakthrough, this is also Villa's masterpiece.

I saw Villa with the blessing of the four-star assault card. After catching up with the ball, he first stopped and then made a realistic fake move. When he tricked Samuel into thinking that he was going to make a pass, he suddenly changed. Cut in the middle and swung away Samuel, then rubbed a curve ball with his right foot.

With a strong rotation, the ball turned a weird arc and hit the upper right corner of the goal!

Dead end!

Antonio Lee's whip is beyond reach!

One to zero!

The entire Olympic Stadium first became silent, followed by the anger and roar of the Roma fans.

But on the court, Villa and Atletico Madrid players are celebrating wildly.

Gao Han was also on the sidelines with excitement clenching his fists and shouting.

Lead!

"Now the game is easy to play!" Cantarello also breathed a sigh of relief.

The surrounding coaching staff members also nodded.

Who said no?

The biggest headache for Serie A teams is their defense, especially Capello's Roma.

They were able to beat Real Madrid 1-0 at the Bernabéu Stadium, relying on their unbreakable defense.

Now, Atletico Madrid is one goal ahead and has the initiative.

Now it's Capello's turn to have a headache.

"Blame the **** rain!" Gao Han smiled from ear to ear.

Atletico Madrid made the same mistake just now, and Marchena almost slipped.

Even if it wasn't that Cech tried to keep the goal at a critical moment, I am afraid that the situation will be completely rewritten now.

But there is a saying that is well said, there will be blessings if you do not die.

Roma failed to grasp the opportunity, and it was naturally Atletico Madrid's turn.

…………

…………

Facts have proved that Capello did want to counterattack.

But that was already the second half.

Throughout the first half, after losing the ball, Roma played more conservatively, mainly considering stabilizing the team's defense and blocking Atletico Madrid's offensive, which made it difficult for the home team to invest in the offensive end.

But in the second half, the two sides fought more intensely.

The Roma team even played a very threatening offensive after the opening ~www.readwn.com~ Especially in the 57th minute, Roma played with Panucci and Cafu on the right, and the Brazilian players played. After the bottom pass, Totti stopped the ball in the penalty area and volleyed the goal from close range.

But Cech, who was acting more and more steadily, swooped like a sly in the face of this close shot and saved Totti’s shot. Afterwards, Delvecchio’s in front of the goal made a supplementary shot. Was bravely resolved by Carvalho.

After that, Gao Han immediately used the five-star defensive card and the confrontation card to stabilize the team's defense.

Since then, Roma has missed the chance to tie the score.

On the contrary, it was on the defensive end of his side. After Atletico Madrid stabilized the situation, they repeatedly played a very threatening attack, threatening Antonioli's goal time and time again.

But both teams were very tenacious, and neither of them allowed their opponents to easily seize the opportunity.

In the end, the matchup at the Calderon Stadium ended with Atletico Madrid relying on Villa's lore.

Atletico Madrid won a victory! (To be continued.)
