372. For victory

Three hundred and seventy-two for victory

By the time Antoine Griezmann stabbed the ball into the back of the net, the Atletico Madrid dugout was already jubilant.

Everyone was hugging, raising their arms and shouting.

Sixteen minutes into the second half, the equaliser meant Atletico Madrid had more time to overtake the scoreline!

Antoine Griezmann's goal was a morale boost, and even if the team can't score in the future, at least after the equaliser, Atletico Madrid won't lose easily!

Even if the final score is 1-1, Atletico Madrid will certainly be able to accept it – at least much better than a 0-1 defeat away to Barcelona.

In the two legs, Atletico Madrid has already scored an away goal, and if it ends with a score of 1-1, Atletico Madrid still has some advantages.

However, as a last resort, Gao Bo will not give up the pursuit of victory!

A draw is definitely not going to satisfy him!

When he saw his players running wildly on the pitch in celebration, Gobo ran to the sidelines and yelled at them, "Well done!! See!! We can get into one of them! You can't get into the second one!! Go on!! Go on the offensive!! ”

..........

Looking at the Atletico Madrid players celebrating wildly on the field, Guardiola touched his bare head.

Then he turned and spread his hands towards the coaches in the dugout.

It's a cross again....

Speaking of which, this Barcelona team is now known as the Cosmos team, but they are not without weaknesses.

When facing the opponent's high-altitude cross, Barcelona is afraid of this move.

Because with the height of the Barcelona players, they can provide full air defense on the high-altitude ball, so Pique, Valdés, and Busquez can also come back to compete for the high-altitude ball.

As a result, Barcelona are careful to limit their opponents' wide crosses, often pressing close to players on the side of the ball to prevent their opponents from easily getting easy crosses.

However, Atletico Madrid's previous attacks have managed to make Barcelona relax their vigilance on wide crosses.

In fact, Atletico Madrid didn't seem to have focused on wide crosses before - Guardiola himself was wary of Atletico Madrid's attacking from behind, after all, not to use Diego Costa's ability to protect the ball in front of Griezmann to create opportunities for Griezmann?

And for Barcelona's defense, Guardiola doesn't think there is much of a problem.

After all, what if Atletico Madrid is given a chance to cross?

Scoring a goal with a cross is a lot of luck.

Guardiola sighed secretly, then came to the sidelines, waved his arms, and signaled Barcelona to press the attack!

For Barcelona, the best way to defend is not to block, but to keep the ball at their feet – this is Barcelona's usual defensive thinking.

And in the face of the current situation, Barcelona is naturally going to pursue attack!

Pep Guardiola won't be chasing a draw either!

......

The race is getting hot!

Both sides are working on the offensive end! The game scene is much better than the previous one!

The two teams come and go, and as long as you have the opportunity, you will not be stingy with your investment in attack!

Players from both sides are fighting on the pitch and for the people on the sidelines, it's the most stressful time.

Gao Bo stood on the sidelines, his hands on his chest, his eyes engrossed.

Although Guardiola was sitting in the coach's seat, his eyes were always on the field, not daring to relax.

During that time, both sides had a few chances, but neither was able to score!

Atletico Madrid's defensive organization makes it difficult to find space when Barcelona's attack advances to the front!

Their dense formation, coordinated movements, made Barcelona feel as if they had hit two moving walls.

However, Atletico Madrid also encountered problems in attack, Barcelona's layers of interference made it difficult for them to advance as smoothly as before, and now after Barcelona conceded the goal, all the players are engaged in intercepting and defending layer by layer, and the concentration is obviously much higher than before!

The brawling on the pitch made fans on both sides a little nervous.

Intense scenes of play were frequent, and the cheers and boos at the Camp Nou intertwined, making the game unconsciously enter the 80th minute.

The score is still 1 to 1!

For the people of Barcelona, this is an unacceptable result!

Barcelona's goal this season is to win the treble, which naturally includes the Copa del Rey, but if they are eliminated in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, won't that goal become a joke?

Let Atletico Madrid get an away goalscorer and then go to the Calderón Stadium for the second leg....

Truth be told, Barcelona fans, even if they are arrogant, are very afraid of Calderón's power - they have already lost several games there!

So, if they want to make it to the next leg of the Copa del Rey, they will have to win as much as possible at home!

A draw is by no means safe for Barcelona – and even very dangerous. They remember when the two sides met in the first leg of the league, when Barcelona lost 2-4 at the Calderón Stadium!

So, for Barcelona, they have to win!

But what about Atletico Madrid's side?

In fact, most people think that Atletico Madrid should be happy with a draw!

Because they have a strong psychological advantage against Barcelona at home, and the 4-2 victory at home makes this advantage even more obvious!

Take a 1-1 away game, and then when you return to the home field, even if it's 0-0, Atletico Madrid is enough to advance to the next round of the King's farewell!

The away draw with Barcelona was a good result.

That's great, but that's not what Gao Bo wants!

What he wants is a victory!

It's all come to this, he sent the main lineup, but it's not just to fight for a draw at Camp Nou!!

He has to win, so that Atletico Madrid will easily build confidence when the league sides meet in the second leg – and it's certainly not an easy opponent, no one will beat them at Camp Nou unless it's Barcelona.

In such an away environment, it is even more important to.... Confidence!

Gao Bo turned to the bench, he was going to make a substitution!

The physical exertion of the team in this game is far greater than in other games, and the team must maintain concentration and running intensity at both ends of the pitch in order to compete with the opposition on the court.

When attacking, you have to keep running.

You have to keep moving when you're defending.

This is still a very large physical drain on the team!

And before that, Gao Bo had already changed two people, and now there was one place left.

Raul Garcia was replaced by Thiago Cardoso and Modric was replaced by Koke!

And the last substitution, Gao Bo let Mane play!

He replaced it.... Mario Suarez!

Mario's range and intensity in this game are very large, after all, he is responsible for marking Messi, and at the same time, when attacking, he often rushes into the box to participate in the header grabbing points.

This match Mario Suarez went from penalty area to penalty area and was extremely busy.

His physical strength is already a little unbearable!

So Gobo replaced Mario and replaced Mane!

This substitution came as a surprise to many.

"Coach Gobo replaced Mario Suarez with Mane, which is in... A tweak to strengthen the offensive end?! ”

Aduris was surprised.

The camera also locked on Mario Suarez, it stands to reason that if Atletico Madrid wanted a draw, Mario would probably delay the game slowly, but he didn't, Mario ran off the field directly, and after completing the substitution with Mane, he also began to gasp for breath - this last substitution also made him use up his last physical energy.

"Mario Suarez is off, Mane is on! This is an offensive adjustment! Coach Gao Bo is ready to make the last push on the offensive end at the last moment! This is really a very risky substitution, Mario is off, who is going to keep an eye on Messi?! ”

The camera's lens is firmly locked on to the high wave.

Gao Bo, on the other hand, looked at Mane on the field without any expression on his face.

Everyone was surprised that Gao Bo would make such a substitution choice.

But there was no need for Gao Bo to explain it to them!

This match is more than just this one for Gao Bo!

He's going to win!

To win against Barcelona in this stadium!

It's not just talking, it's really about doing it!

If you want to win this season, you have to beat Barcelona!! And it's to beat the opponent in this stadium!

Now that the Copa del Rey has this opportunity, how could Gao Bo let it go?

He's going to build confidence in his players.

Gao Bo himself is not like this.

Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, a team that is at the top of their game in every way, have won every trophy they can in recent seasons, which makes all teams look like they are a little shorter against them, especially at Camp Nou.

Gao Bo is going to take this opportunity now and let his players know!

And what about Barcelona?!

And what about on their home turf!!

No matter what opponent you meet, no matter where you are!

You have to fight for the victory!

Is a draw satisfied?

This does not exist!!

Against any team, as long as they play, all the players have to fight desperately to win!

In addition to the technical and tactical aspects of a team, it needs to be trained and improved, and in terms of mental strength, it is also a part that must be strengthened on the way to Atletico Madrid's strong team!

Atletico Madrid, who have been in the league for more than a dozen seasons, need to regain their feeling of belonging to a strong team.

Switching to an attacker at the last minute is to reinforce the point of view given to the players.

Even if he can't win this game in the end, Gao Bo has to make this last fight for victory!
