Chapter 217: Second Round

The game against Bayern Munich is a thing of the past, and apart from two away goals, there is nothing to ensure Atletico Madrid will qualify.

The players' lives are the same as usual, and training is of course the main axis of the players' daily life, and outside the Atletico Madrid training base, in addition to the obvious increase in the number of reporters - many Chinese media have sent reporters to Madrid one after another.

Atletico Madrid still need to play a league game before the second leg against Bayern Munich.

On May 10, in the 36th round of the Spanish Football League, that is, the penultimate round, Atletico Madrid challenged Levante away.

The day before this game, Atletico Madrid's title rival Barcelona won 2-0 at home against Real Sociedad, temporarily leading Atletico Madrid by four points.

Therefore, this game must not be abandoned, even after a costly Champions League semi-final in midweek, Simeone still sent the team's main line-up.

Despite the main players, the result of the match was a big disappointment for Atletico Madrid fans.

The process of the game was also full of twists and turns, Levante scored first in the first half, and in the second half, Li Qingshan first assisted Koke to score, and then he headed back the score.

Towards the end of the game, Levante hit the defender with a long-range shot that deflected into the net.

The final score of the match was 2-2!

Due to Barcelona's welcome in this round, Atletico Madrid, which only got one point away from home, was pulled away by Barcelona by three points, and the next round of the game is a head-to-head duel between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid!

The difference between the two sides is three points, and the bad thing is that Atletico Madrid's goal difference is four less than Barcelona's! This means that Atletico Madrid must beat Barcelona by more than two goals and score more goals than Barcelona in the final round to secure the league title!

When it comes to the league, all the focus will be on the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at home, and the result of this game will directly determine the ownership of the La Liga title.

But not many people are optimistic about Atletico Madrid at the moment - after all, these conditions are not easy to achieve.

Regardless of the fate of Simeone's side in the league, after the league game with Levante, Atletico Madrid's focus quickly shifted to the Champions League.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-final between the two sides will be played on 12 May, when Atletico Madrid host Bayern Munich.

In the other final Champions League semi-final first leg match, Barcelona challenged Juventus away, and in the end Barcelona drew 1-1 with Juventus away, and the form of advancing to the final is still relatively optimistic.

Atletico Madrid are not going to focus on the other game, for them it is all about playing well at home.

The second leg of the match with Bayern Munich is imminent, and Atletico Madrid's training has basically achieved its goal, and at the end of the day, it is mainly about arranging relaxation training and set-piece tactics.

Before the last day of training, Simeone only gave the media 15 minutes to shoot, and during this time, Atletico Madrid was some very ordinary training except for running and warm-up, and training with real tactical content would not be filmed by the media.

However, in fact, Atletico Madrid's tactics are not a secret, if you want to curb Atletico Madrid's attack, you must contain Li Qingshan. No matter what the game, as long as Li Qingshan has a lot of space to play, then Atletico Madrid can always win, and Griezmann, who is cruising around Li Qingshan, can always get space.

With the confirmation of Li Qingshan's core position in Atletico Madrid, Simeone insists on this style of play, and the advantage of this style of play is that Simeone can rest assured that he can rotate boldly - anyway, Li Qingshan's physical condition is bursting, as long as Li Qingshan is on the field, Atletico Madrid's tactical system is guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about the team's performance declining after rotating several main players.

This style of play is quite dependent on Li Qingshan's play, fortunately, Li Qingshan's state this season is surprisingly good, he is only twenty-two years old now, and he is still in the rising period of his career, but his data has been fully blowout!

This season, Li Qingshan's goal data in both the league and the Champions League are directly ahead of Messi and Ronaldo, the top two in the two data rankings of the past rulers, and this goal rate has made him the most dazzling young player in European football at present.

Atletico Madrid has already started the process of renewing Li Qingshan's contract, but Raiola has not negotiated anything with Atletico Madrid.

When the last day of training ended, Li Qingshan was surrounded by the media and fans outside the training ground.

Fans are looking for autographs, and the media are waiting to interview him.

Li Qingshan gave an interview while signing autographs for fans. He's been able to handle all of this.

"What do you think of tomorrow's game, Lee?" The journalists asked.

"Of course, I'm trying to qualify for the finals!" Li Qingshan signed his name on a fan's jersey and gave the fan a smile before raising his head to answer reporters' questions.

"Will two away goals make the Atletico Madrid players a little less stressful?"

"Not at all, we are still behind in the scoreline, we will not relax in the slightest, we are fully prepared for the difficulties of the game!"

"Do you have anything to say to the fans at home?" This was clearly a question from a Chinese journalist.

"See you in the finals!" Li Qingshan said!

...............

"Li Qingshan and Chinese fans meet in the Champions League final! 》

"Atletico Madrid's core boast must enter the final! 》

The next morning, Beijing time, such news headlines began to appear in the sports pages of major portals.

There are still more than a dozen hours to go before the game, but the Chinese fans can't wait.

Today's Li Qingshan has become the most eye-catching athlete in China, more popular than Sun Yang, who won gold in the Olympic Games, and Zhang Jike, the core of the table tennis men's team.

It's just that the first two athletes attracted the attention of a large number of female compatriots with their handsome appearances, while Li Qingshan's fans were mostly men.

In China, there is a huge disparity between men and women, and it can be said that the majority of fans are men, so it is not surprising that most of Li Qingshan's fans are men.

It's just that with Li Qingshan's achievements and influence in football getting bigger and bigger, and he himself looks like Zhou Zheng, more and more women who didn't pay attention to football have become his fans.

As a result, Li Qingshan's fan base has become bigger and bigger.

Li Qingshan himself is not on his social account, his Weibo and Facebook accounts are managed by a team formed by Raiola, but even so, the number of his fans on Weibo has reached more than 80 million!

That's far more than any other footballer.

Therefore, when Li Qingshan's Weibo account posted a photo, it was Li Qingshan standing in front of the team bus, and then simply wrote on Weibo: "The second leg of the Champions League semifinals!" ”

It was just these few words that this Weibo was quickly forwarded by fans at the bottom, and soon there were more than tens of thousands of messages!

Li Qingshan's attention in China can be imagined.
