Chapter 578: This is the beginning of a miracle

Chapter 578: This is the beginning of the birth of a miracle

Half past five, after a brief dinner.

Players from both teams boarded their respective buses and headed for Calderón Stadium.

Along the way, the Atletico Madrid players saw many fans outside the car window.

They cheered and shouted excitedly when they saw the team's bus pass by.

Some fans gave them a thumbs up.

There were also fans who simply held signs cheering for the team and held them high as the team bus passed by, so that the players could feel the support of the fans. Even if they lose the first leg so badly, these Atletico Madrid fans will still come to support them.

What a fortunate thing.

"Even if it's for the sake of these fans, you should teach Barcelona a good lesson at home!! Guys!! ”

Gao Bo said.

"Think of the gloating taunts we heard at the Camp Nou, and if you feel bad, are the Atletico Madrid fans who are in the stands with us on the road?"

"But even so, they supported us in this game. What do they get out of watching the ball on the pitch? There is only the joy of victory, and the pain after defeat. Guys, it's a rare thing to have the unconditional support of so many people, and if you're struggling, think about these fans, they're the ones who keep moving forward! ”

The players turned their heads to look out the bus windows at the fans.

Whether it's walking, driving, or riding in a car, no matter what route they take, their destination is the same.

Calderón Stadium!

Fans sang songs, played signs, shouted slogans, and held slogans!

Everyone is converging on Calderón!!

It's a powerful force that makes the Atletico Madrid players straighten their backs.

And so many people support us!

Knowing that the team might be eliminated, he still cheered for the team without regrets.

This force made the players more eager to start the game.

They desperately need to teach Barcelona a good lesson on the field!!

.......

Soon, the bus entered the stadium, and after the parking lot was good, Atletico Madrid ignored the long guns and short guns of the surrounding reporters, and they quickly entered the locker room!

The walls of the dressing room are like a solid wall, and no one knows what the players and coaches are going to say here.

In fact, there is not much to say.

While the players went out to warm up, Gao Bo was sorting out his card builds.

In fact, the main strengthening is two aspects, one is the strength of interception and steal when defending.... And then there's the header!

Of course, in order to create as many free-kicks as possible, Gao Bo equipped Griezmann, who has the strongest breakthrough ability in the team, with a dribbling card!

[Match Card (Blue) Team Stamina Increases by 15%:]

[Match Card (Orange): 20% increase in pass success rate within 15 meters; 15% increase in forward pass success rate]

[Match Card (Blue): Steal success rate increased by 15%]

[Match Card (Green): Dribbling ability increased by 15%; Designated player "Anthony Griezmann" uses! 】

[Match Card (Green): Heading ability increased by 15%; Designated player "Diego Costa" to use! 】

All five card slots are full, and in addition to the tactical aspect, card coordination is also a top priority!!

Speaking of which, Atletico Madrid's current lineup is extremely strong in the future, but in fact, many players are very young, and they still have a big gap in the face of mature Barcelona.

......

With fifteen minutes left before the start of the game, Gao Bo made a final call to his team in the locker room.

In fact, there is nothing to mobilize.

Because these days, everything that needs to be said in terms of tactics has been said, and every player knows what he has to do on the pitch!!

The whole team is like a perfectly assembled machine, each player has his own role, and everyone together completes this smooth machine!

"These days, many people say "Atletico Madrid loses"! "Barcelona will reach the Champions League final", "Atletico Madrid want to qualify. One can only hope for a miracle to happen"....... So now, let's show them the miracle!! ”

Gao Bo said calmly, and many of the players were already writing their fists!

......

When the game started, Barcelona were solid.

Leading 3-0 on aggregate, this gives Barcelona's players a huge psychological advantage, they have no baggage at all and play to their heart's content on the pitch!

As soon as the opening kick-off, Barcelona quickly advanced to the front, Sanchez cut inside and shot straight at goal, and the ball went over the crossbar!

Then Atletico Madrid's attack came, as Antoine Griezmann pulled wide to cross and was cleared by Pique's header.

Barcelona's centre-back pairing for this match was Gerard Pique and Mascherano.

Barcelona's veteran captain Puyol was injured and did not come to the scene. The veteran is entering the final years of his career, and even without injury, it will be difficult for him to sustain such a high-intensity 90 minutes at the end of the season.

Three minutes into the game, it looked normal.

Barcelona were in control of the pitch and judging by their possession, Barcelona played well and without any pressure, the Barcelona stars could play a lot of tricks.

Non-stop passing, like the sound of a sewing machine's "tike-taka".

Originally, "tike-taka" was an onomatopoeia, so Barcelona's passing can be described as fluid.

"Once the game started, it looked like Barcelona had taken over the game. They had one shot on goal and dominated possession. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, look like they are being beaten passively, and judging by their performances, Atletico Madrid has lost their fighting spirit. ”

As the commentator was talking, Xavi made a forward pass, and he was leaned in by Modric as he passed, causing the pass to deflect a bit, and then Godin got the ball at the back.

Xavi is not surprised by this, it is impossible to be 100% successful if he passes forward to threaten the ball, not this time, next time.

Barcelona were ready to launch an immediate counter-attack, and by this time, Godin had already handed over a long ball to the left.

In this game, Atletico Madrid's formation is more like a 4312!

Behind Griezmann are three midfielders, N'Golo Kante, Luka Modric, Raul Garcia!

Antoine Griezmann is flexible in his position, he can play on the left and right flanks, and Atletico Madrid don't have time to ink on the ball in this game, they need to be efficient!

So, Godin passed the ball to the side as soon as possible!

Antoine Griezmann chested the ball and then smashed it with his right foot past Abidal!

Antoine Griezmann looked inside the box, and Barcelona were still cautious at this time, with Sergio Busquets back in the box, Pique plus Mascherano and Alves coming back from the other side.

And Atletico Madrid only has two points, Diego Costa and Aguero!

Griezmann made a judgment at the first time, and the success rate of direct junior high school is not high, which is likely to waste a good opportunity.

So he dribbled the ball and pressed forward, and then suddenly there was a timeout!

Abidal crashed into it, and Griezmann fell to the ground!

Doodle!!!!

The referee's whistle blows!

Free kick on the right side of the pitch, close to the penalty area!!

This position can be passed and shot, which is a very good free kick position!

Gao Bo clenched his fists on the sidelines.

"Well done!!"

He was very pleased with Griezmann's handling this time.

With a free-kick opportunity up front, Atletico Madrid's other high points can go into the box!

Godin and Miranda are all up!

In this game, Gao Bo chose Godin's partner Miranda, just to take advantage of the heading ability of these two!

Miranda's header is top-notch among Brazilian centre-backs, and it's a very good class in the world.

Antoine Griezmann and Luka Modric stand in front of the ball.

It wasn't until all the players involved in the set-piece came up that they started to move.

Pep Guardiola was a little nervous, and from the moment Griezmann broke through, he began to understand about Atletico Madrid's intentions!

It is indeed a very efficient way to use set-pieces against Barcelona, especially when Atletico Madrid is in desperate need of a penalty area and cannot concede the ball themselves.

Guardiola rubbed his hands, which betrayed his nervousness.

It's not just Pep Guardiola who is nervous.

Gao Bo, who was not far away, was also a little nervous.

To complete the big comeback, the first goal is crucial!

This goal... The sooner you come, the better!

Luka Modric assisted, he ran over the ball, it was a fake, and then Griezmann also ran up, left foot towards goal, and a sharp and fast arc towards the far end of the goal!

Valdés had to react as the ball was headed towards the far post.

And at this moment, Miranda's header at the front point rubbed slightly!!

The ball changed direction and flew towards the middle of the goal!

Valdés hurriedly turned back, but just then, a foot suddenly appeared on the football line!

Aguero plugs in the middle and arches his right foot!

At this moment, time seems to stand still...

No way?!!

This is the thought on everyone's mind, and now the game has just begun.... Five minutes?!

It seemed like a long time had passed.

It seems to have passed all at once!

Valdés' second reaction was too late!

The ball flew from his armpit and into the goal!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Calderón Stadium roared with a live DJ!

The roar even drowned out the shouts of the narrators, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, piercing everyone's hearts.
