    The second round of the Champions League group stage between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid came to an end.

    When Hector scored his first goal in the Champions League, the entire Calderon Stadium was like a volcano erupting. Everyone jumped out of their seats and cheered crazily.  They once again saw the dawn of the team's victory!  If this game can be won, it will be Atletico Madrid's first Champions League victory after four years!

    Atletico Madrid fans have been waiting for this victory for too long. They were disappointed once last week, and they don't want to be disappointed again this time - the next Champions League home game will have to wait until the fifth day of October 24th.  It will only happen in the group stage. For the anxious Atletico Madrid fans, they don¡¯t want to wait any longer!

    That¡¯s why when they saw the team¡¯s goal to take the lead again, they shouted so crazily and thoroughly!

    Dick also celebrated with great excitement. He waved his fist and rushed directly to the stands, waved his fist crazily at the stands, and then hugged the assistant coaches one by one, as if he had led the team to win the Champions League

    Such a celebration is naturally a bit disdainful in the eyes of Manchester United fans - well, aren't the bumpkins who have never seen the world just taken the lead?  Who is sure that you will be able to win this game?

    However, Dick immediately let everyone see his determination to win the game - David came on, replaced Vicente, let David and Capdevila guard the right together, and Capdevila  Moranesi's position retreated, leaving only Jader in the frontcourt to harass, and everyone else returned to defend. They must maintain the lead until the end in less than twenty minutes left!

    In the following time, Manchester United once again took the initiative in the midfield and continuously launched attacks through the opportunities created after taking the ball in the midfield. However, they were constantly blocked by Atletico Madrid. David followed Beckham's  With his side, there was little space for him to execute his cross. Capdevila was not only filling in, but also paying attention to defending Neville on the edge. On the other side, H¨¦ctor followed closely.  In front of Giggs, Camoranesi helped defend. In the midfield, the three midfielders all returned to defend, tightly protecting the front edge of the penalty area, not only to intercept their passes, but also to intercept  These are the long-range shots of these Manchester United players who have excellent long-range shots!

    Under such a protection that is almost like a dragnet, it is difficult for Manchester United's offense to attack the penalty area. In addition, Atletico Madrid delays time whenever they have the opportunity. When the final whistle sounds, Manchester United fans can only accept the away game one to two.  The result of defeat!

    This continued Manchester United's winless record against La Liga teams in away games, and also allowed Atletico Madrid to jump to the first place in this group - in another game, Lille defeated Olympiacos 3-1 at home, and now Atletico Madrid  Competing for first place in the four-point group, Manchester United and Lille both have three points, and Olympiacos is at the bottom with one point. The situation in this group seems to have become a bit complicated. Atletico Madrid was tied by Olympiacos, but Olympiacos was at the bottom.  Lost to Lille, Lille was defeated by Manchester United in the first round, and Manchester United lost to Atletico Madrid - no one dares to say now that they will definitely have an absolute advantage in this group and will definitely qualify!

    "Our players performed well under pressure. We have the ability to perform well in the Champions League, as long as the players can better adapt to the atmosphere of the Champions League. I am disappointed with Atletico Madrid's performance in this Champions League."  Confidence!" Dick said extremely excitedly at the post-match press conference.

    Ferguson said that his team was not very lucky: "We are not in the best condition yet, and Veron still needs to integrate into the team. Losing? It's normal. Atletico Madrid is also a top team. But if we want to change, just  This price must be paid, and Manchester United will become stronger and stronger, not just now.¡±

    The head coaches of both sides expressed their satisfaction with the team. However, in the evaluation of the media, they believed that luck accounted for a large part of Atletico Madrid's win this time: "Atletico Madrid did not have any advantage in this game.  , Dick abandoned his previous strengths and chose to win in the ugliest way They were actually suppressed by Manchester United in the midfield! You must know that Manchester United's midfield still has many flaws, and they can definitely play.  Even better! But what? When Manchester United's midfielder started to advance, Atletico Madrid took the initiative to retreat, then took the lead again through a counterattack and a set kick, and then defended the victory  ¡­Of course we can understand Dick, Atletico Madrid needs such a victory to gain confidence, otherwise the next two away games will be very sad for them, especially the fourth round game at Old Trafford will be even more sad,  But if a team abandons its roots, I'm afraid it will face a lot of trouble"

    There are different opinions.

    Most of the media felt that Atletico Madrid¡¯s victory was not very good.In this way, Dick just curled his lips - you scum!  You know what, I came to Hebei Province Oh, no, how can you know my thoughts!  You know, what I am thinking about is not only this victory, but also the victory in the away game. The result of this game was just right. I won, but it didn¡¯t seem to be such a big advantage. If the team hadn¡¯t taken the initiative to give up the midfielder, Ferguson would have  Can he have more confidence in his five-man midfield line-up in the second leg?  What a joke!

    As long as the game is won and Dick's tactical goal is achieved, Dick doesn't care if his performance is poor - besides, if it doesn't look ugly to win, can he hide it from Ferguson?

    In fact, during the game, the players tried their best, but Dick chose a more difficult way to arrange the tactics. This was something he figured out for a long time before the halftime break - telling the players  It is definitely unrealistic for them to win with difficulty. You must know that the most taboo thing when playing on the court is to be careless. Even in a top team, if you just go to a team with a casual mentality,  If an ordinary team plays against each other, they will probably be beaten to a disgrace by the opponent, let alone a team like Manchester United!  Therefore, Dick would not make such a low-level mistake, so he thought of a compromise method and used tactics that were not the most suitable to fight, that is, defensive counterattack. You must know that intensive defense is also very dangerous against Manchester United.  At the same time, it is not that easy to counterattack smoothly. Manchester United is used to a fast pace. Their defense is very fast and they are rarely penetrated by counterattacks.

    Fortunately, Atletico Madrid still completed such a task. They defended Manchester United's offense and scored a goal with an opportunity that was not considered a chance - Hector's volley from the back foot could fly into the far corner.  , luck plays a big part.

    "Who the hell made me the protagonist? The protagonist should have good luck." Dick thought in his heart.

    In the next period of time, Dick doesn't seem to need to worry about the Champions League game, because the next week will be a dense league schedule, with three consecutive league games in one week, and an away game against Betsey on October 1st.  Sri Lanka will face Real Madrid at home on October 4th, and play Las Palmas away on October 7th. The most important of these three games is of course the home game against Real Madrid. Last season, Dick led the team to defeat at home.  Real Madrid broke Atletico Madrid's winless record in the Madrid derby, and this truly established his status in the team!

    Dick will naturally not relax for such a game - to put it a bit exaggeratedly, as the head coach of Atletico Madrid, even if he fails to achieve any decent results throughout the year, as long as he performs well in the two Madrid derbies,  Then you can continue to coach, but what about the other way around?  Antic won the league and Copa del Rey double at Atletico Madrid, but he was fired six months later. The reason given by Hill was that Antic could not make Atletico Madrid go further. However, the actual reason was,  But it was because Anti? led the team to be defeated continuously by Real Madrid

    But what is now in front of Dick is the intensive schedule that is beginning to become intensive now - this is also a test for him, because Atletico Madrid's schedule last season was very loose, and it was not until the last period that the schedule became intensive.  Therefore, Dick did not rotate during that period, and it was no big problem to directly play all the games with the main force. However, this season is different. Participating in Champions League games is much more intensive than participating in UEFA Cup games.  , and the league will end one month early, leaving time for the national team to prepare for the World Cup, so this season will face a lot of double matches a week, especially now, after just playing Manchester United in the middle of the week, there will be another  Playing Real Madrid in midweek, even if Dick doesn't rotate, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it.

    "Fortunately, the thickness of the bench is not bad now. It's time to let the substitutes play their role." Dick thought in his heart. The main players were severely overdrawn in the last game, so it would be good for them to take a good rest this weekend.  As it should be, although their recent performance in the league has not been very good, Atletico Madrid can still afford the loss of this point.

    In the next round of the league, Atletico Madrid rested most of its main players and sent out a 4-4-2 combination. Except for the two central defenders and goalkeeper Molina who were still the main players, all other players were replaced by substitutes.  David and Aguilera were deployed on the wings, Marchena and Paunovic were in the midfield, Haji and Jorgensen were deployed on the wings, and Cruz and Torres formed a partnership on the striker.

    This kind of substitute lineup is not bad in terms of strength, but there is a bit of a problem in terms of coordination. In such a large-scale rotation, the two wings are newly joined players, and the midfielder is promoted from the position of central defender. Although Betis  They are newly promoted, but their strength is not bad.

    After ninety minutes of the game, the score was fixed at 1-1. Torres scored the equalizer for Atletico Madrid.The competition suffered three consecutive draws in the league, and the ranking fell to seventh place.

    "Atletico Madrid seems to have started to run into some troubles after its initial glory. With the Champions League distracted, their league results began to decline. For Atletico Madrid, the problem now should not be about strength, but about strength.  In terms of experience. Atletico Madrid¡¯s players lack experience in two-line operations. Although they performed well in the league and the UEFA Cup last season, the pressure in the UEFA Cup is far less than that of the Champions League, and the competition is also higher than that of the Champions League.  Much less. Before the winter break, the UEFA Cup only needs to play three rounds and six games, while the Champions League needs to play a group stage and the first two games of the possible second stage group stage. In this aspect alone, it is better than  There were two more games last season, and the La Liga schedule this season is very tight, which makes Atletico Madrid have to prioritize on two fronts. Dick obviously lacks experience in fighting on two fronts. If  If this problem is not solved, Atletico Madrid¡¯s future will not be good this season!¡±
