Ali Samyan Stadium, one of the best stadiums in Turkey, is also Turkey's famous "Hell Stadium". Galatasaray fans are quite good at using flags and fireworks to create a terrifying atmosphere, especially when facing them When you hate someone
But when entering the stadium today, many Galatasaray fans felt depressed that today's security check seemed to be much stricter than usual.
The knives that Turks are accustomed to carrying with them are not allowed to be brought into the stadium. The knives carried by Galatasaray fans almost piled up into a hill at the security checkpoint, and too large fireworks are not allowed to be brought into the stadium. Only those banners are allowed. were retained - and some insulting banners, such as those insulting Dick's homeland, were also banned from the stadium.
This made Galatasaray fans very dissatisfied, thinking that this was a compromise to their opponents. However, the stadium management had no choice. UEFA had previously warned the Galatasaray club that previous conflicts between the two sides had introduced There was a huge response, and many people even began to attack UEFA for ignoring the personal safety of the teams and fans who came to Turkey to attract attention, and used blood to make the Champions League more famous. For such Questioning, UEFA will naturally try to avoid this kind of questioning, after all, this is something that affects the image of the Champions League! So they warned Galatasaray Club that in this game, you may not be able to control the behavior of the fans, but you can make the probability of excessive things even smaller!
It is prohibited to bring knives into the venue, banners with political tendencies and discriminatory language, and large fireworks In short, anything beyond the normal scope of the competition is not allowed to be brought into the stadium!
Although Galatasaray is dissatisfied that this has weakened Galatasaray's home advantage, UEFA's attitude is very firm this time - come on, buddy, the "home advantage" was a big advantage in the past. Yes, we won the UEFA Cup the year before last, we entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League last year and defeated Real Madrid at home, and this year we still have the possibility of qualifying in the final round of the second stage of the group stage. Just have fun with it. Those teams used to be honest and didn't say much when they were bullied, but this time you have hit a hard nut to crack, so in your case, you basically say goodbye to cycling
The most important thing is that UEFA's requirements are absolutely reasonable. Knives, insulting slogans, etc. are all controlled items that are not allowed in any stadium. In the past, whether it was because of turning a blind eye, Now that we really need to take control, they are doing so with confidence.
Therefore, Galatasaray fans held their breath when entering the stadium and felt very aggrieved. At the same time, no Atletico Madrid fans came to watch the game in the away game, although the entire stadium was full of Galatasaray people. It feels great, but without an opponent, no matter how arrogant you are, no one will see you and no one will be afraid of you, so what¡¯s the point!
"If they want to win, they need to attack, and the Turks' foot skills are not very good, but their momentum and running ability are still very good. At the beginning of this game, we have to focus on defense Be careful with Hassan Sa. His speed is very good recently. No matter which side he is on, I have to keep an eye on him. It doesn¡¯t matter if he crosses. Our ability to resist crosses in the middle is quite good. Just be careful when he cuts inside. That's enough. The other thing is to be careful about their long shots from the front of the penalty area. After withstanding their first wave of attacks, it's time for us to counterattack and seize the gaps on their wings - since they dare to use a three-back lineup, Then we¡¯ll give them a good look!¡±
In this game, Galatasaray sent out a strong offensive lineup of 3331. What Dick wanted to seize was the weak spot on the opponent's wings, and then create a good enough opportunity for Jardel in the center, and first base his defense. Then they defeated Galatasaray on offense and won the first place in the group.
At the same time, Lucescu was also encouraging the players in the locker room: "Guys, we have reached the point where we must win this game! Atletico Madrid has nothing to be afraid of. They have also been beaten by us at home. Have they ever led by two goals? Although all their main players are back, Stam has only played one game. He has been away from the game for more than three months. It will be a lot of strange feeling for him to come back at this time. Under such circumstances, their defense will also have big holes! Use offense to press them, and we will once again enter the quarterfinals and even win the Champions League!¡±
Galatasaray's players roared one after another. Their results in the past few years have been quite good. They defeated Real Madrid in the Super Cup last season and won the championship. At the same time, reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League also accumulated a lot of experience for them. Experience, although the departure of Hakan Suker caused Galatasaray a lot of losses, Yumit Kallan's outstanding performance can make up for this shortcoming. Hassan Sass also appeared in good condition after returning from injury. Very good. With these players, GalataGalatasaray's strength has not been weakened much, even though the previous midfield soul Haji and the defense core Popescu have retired, but over the past year, Galatasaray has re-formed a strong team. team.
"Dear viewers, this game is about to begin! Atletico Madrid challenges Galatasaray away! Galatasaray performed extremely well at their home court. In the past nineteen European games, they have never tried I have experienced the feeling of defeat! The last time a Spanish team won in Turkey was twenty-eight years ago Before this game, Atletico Madrid's Dutch defender Stam finally returned from injury. Grammar also entrusted him with an important task in order to make use of his experience in the Champions League. Stam, who has the world's number one central defender, is the strength that Atletico Madrid must rely on. The referee of this game is Italian Collina. , because the two sides had some conflicts and disputes over the referee in the first round. This is also the reason why UEFA sent Collina to referee this game. At least when the bald referee was on the court, he Any penalty made will make people feel convinced Galatasaray's starting lineup is 3331, and Atletico Madrid's starting lineup is 451. It seems that it can be seen from this formation that Galatasaray intends to play at home They use offense to win, while Atletico Madrid focuses on defense. After all, they only need a draw to qualify, so they should be cautious!"
"The game has begun! Galatasaray was the first to attack! They launched a crazy attack from the first minute! Atletico Madrid recovered slightly and started to defend. Our judgment was correct. With Dick's Personality, he will not take the risk of attacking"
Seeing Atletico Madrid's defense on the court, Lucescu couldn't help but sneer. Although Dick is crazy, he is actually quite cautious. If he can use the most convenient method to get the desired result, then he will definitely He will do it. Stam's comeback has added a lot of strength to Atletico Madrid's defense. Dick is likely to adopt defensive counterattack tactics. Now it seems that his judgment seems to be correct.
Dick looked calmly at Galatasaray's crazy attack, listening to the crazy shouts of Galatasaray fans in the stands, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
If this was an ordinary game, maybe Dick would shamelessly use defense to score a point. Anyway, he has done this kind of thing before, but he suffered such a big loss against Galatasaray. If it is just to qualify for the group, it will be a big loss!
Since under various factors, this game will move in an extremely fair and normal direction, then Dick decided to let Galatasaray know that under fair factors, the difference between them and Atletico Madrid How far is the gap!
Although they have defeated Real Madrid at home, that is also due to the fact that Real Madrid is about to return to play against them at home, and they are not willing to fight too fiercely with them in the away game. Atletico Madrid is not afraid of Real Madrid at all now, and even played against Real Madrid just now After completing the double kill, Dick is absolutely sure that he can defeat Galatasaray as long as he does not suffer in other aspects!
Although Galatasaray has performed well over the past year, compared with before, their biggest problem is that they have no superstars - in the team that won the UEFA Cup, there were goalkeeper Taffarel, central defender Popescu, the core organization Haji and the center Hakan Suker are four first-class stars. It is around the central axis composed of these four superstars that Galatasaray defeated many strong teams to win the championship. , and although the overall strength of the current Galatasaray team may not be worse than the team that won the UEFA Cup, they lack the kind of superstar who can make the final decision.
In the first five rounds of the group stage, Galatasaray actually played well. They had a big advantage in many games, but the biggest reason why they failed to win in the end was that they couldn't do anything when they had the advantage. Beat the opponent to death directly, and their opponents don't lack that kind of star.
It¡¯s just that Dick doesn¡¯t feel like it¡¯s enough to just rely on the performance of the stars to defeat his opponents. He wants to use more enjoyable methods to defeat his opponents and prove the huge gap between Galatasaray and them.
And in order to let out a sigh of relief, he also placed a lot of money on this game.
Galatasaray's players pressed hard at first, but after midfielder Brent kicked Belleron down from behind and was immediately shown a yellow card by Collina, they knew that The bald referee is indeed not a person with an unworthy reputation. Even if they yell at Collina, they can't change the basis of his penalty. At the same time, he also warned the Galatasaray players who gathered around - If you do this again, I will continue to show you yellow cards!
"Well, this Italian referee who looks like a bald sea monster really has a strong aura" Dick admired in his heart. This is Collina's more than ten years of high-level law enforcement and no favoritism.He can't earn it back. Although people sometimes think that he is unkind, when Collina treats all players equally, they will also be convinced by this. Even the big-name players, under Collina After a penalty is made, there is usually no objection!
People always know what is good and what is bad. When you know that you are indeed facing a selfless referee, you will also have some respect for him.
After seeing that Galatasaray's players had restrained their movements, Dick did not immediately instruct the players to counterattack. First of all, Stam had not fully entered the game state. At this time, retreating to defend could allow him to counterattack. His more capable defense stimulated his state even more, and secondly, Dick also used this method to lure the snake out of the hole, making the gap in Galatasaray's backcourt wider!
Sometimes going backwards is to make greater progress.
