Chapter 539 San Siro and Meazza
The No.20 six rounds of the league ended, and a week later, Atletico Madrid immediately ushered in the No.20 seven rounds of La Liga.
Throughout March, Atlético Madrid have four more La Liga games ahead of the Champions League quarter-finals.
No.20 seven rounds, against Granada at home; No.20 eight rounds, away to Mallorca; No.20 nine rounds, home against Athletic Bilbao; No.30 round, home against Zaragoza.
In the seventh round of No.20, Real Madrid beat the Espanyol [-]-[-] at home, and Barcelona, which had just been slaughtered by Atletico Madrid with [-] goals, was not depressed because of this. They immediately won [-]-[-] at home against Sporting Gijon.
The form of the standings remains unchanged. Atletico Madrid has one game less and is three points behind Real Madrid!Same score as Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid still has a chance to have a positive dialogue with Real Madrid. Therefore, in the league battle, apart from this Madrid derby, the rest of the games are also very important.
On March 20th, in the seventh round of No.[-] of the league, Atletico Madrid ushered in a match between their home court and Granada.
The game was the last of Godin and Raul Garcia's suspensions, although Kobo's suspension continues.
It was a very difficult game for Atletico Madrid.
The pressure on their defensive line is not too great, and the problem mainly occurs on the offensive end.
Without Gao Bo sitting on the coaching bench, although the pre-match plan has been as detailed as possible, in the real game, the situation is always changing rapidly.
Granada, who played in the away game, completely assumed a passive posture, and all eleven of their players shrank in the penalty area.
From the beginning of the game, Granada made up their minds to stick to it.
Faced with such a situation, Aguero couldn't play his role, and it was too difficult to complete the shot with his feet.
Diego Costa was brought on in the second half and Mario Suarez pushed into the box as a high point up front.
Atletico Madrid began to pursue a simpler way of attack.
The pilling on both sides also made Granada's defense a bit difficult, but Granada had good luck in today's game. Atletico Madrid has already had several threatening shots that were saved by the goalkeeper.
The game seems to be moving towards a zero-to-zero rhythm.
At this time, Gao Bo, who was sitting in the hotel watching live TV, missed Godin very much.
Speaking of header ability, Godin is the strongest point in the Atletico Madrid team. No one can compare with Godin in this point.
Moreover, Godin's header ability is one of the best even compared to the central defender position in the world!
When it is necessary to open the situation with a high ball, pushing Godin to the frontcourt is already Gao Bo's routine tactic.
The players in Granada became more and more excited. The game has entered No. 80 minutes, and they can bring back a draw in the away game.
At this time, it was Griezmann who gave them a fatal blow.
He cut all the way in from the right, and then stuffed the ball under the feet of Diego Costa. After the two sides completed a collision with the wall, Griezmann completed a kick in the face of Costa's pass!
The football flew past the defender and into the net!
Atlético Madrid took the lead in the 80th minute of the game, Granada defended most of the time, and it all came to naught.
With this goal, Atletico Madrid finally won at home and won a victory!
After a difficult victory, Atletico Madrid played very smoothly in the next few games.
On March [-]th, Atletico Madrid challenged Mallorca in an away game. In this game, all the suspended players of the team returned. With Aguero's brace, the team easily defeated the opponent [-]-[-] in the away game.
Then he returned to his home court. On March 21, in the No.20 ninth round of the league, Gao Bo, who appeared in the team's coaching bench again, was warmly cheered by the fans. Atletico Madrid defeated the visiting Athletic Bilbao [-]-[-] at home.
Then in the next No.30 round, on March 24, Atletico Madrid challenged Zaragoza away.
Since the team will challenge AC Milan in an away game in three days, Gao Bo made a large-scale rotation in this game.
Atletico Madrid, who played in a rotating lineup, did not give Zaragoza any chance. They won [-]-[-] away. In the entire March game, starting from Sevilla, Atletico Madrid has won four consecutive victories.
After this game, the Atlético de Madrid team did not stop and immediately went to Milan, Italy, the capital of fashion and also the capital of football.
At the end of March, the quarter-finals of the Champions League started in full swing.
The match between Atletico Madrid and AC Milan can be regarded as a focus dialogue in the quarter-finals. This is a close matchup.
The other three games are APOEL vs. Real Madrid, Benfica vs. Barcelona and Marseille vs. Bayern Munich.The strength of the duel in these three games is very obvious, so the attention received is obviously not as good as that of Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.
A head-to-head match between the defending champions of La Liga and the defending champions of Serie A.Moreover, in the league standings, these two teams are also members of the championship group, and both sides are attacking their respective league championships.
AC Milan is undoubtedly a veteran super giant. They have won a total of seven Champions Cups in history, second only to Real Madrid in the number of championships!And the current AC Milan lineup is also quite strong.
On the front line, AC Milan has superstars like Ibrahimovic, as well as Brazilian stars like Robinho and Pato. Inzaghi is still sitting on the bench, ready to come out at any time!
In the midfield Seedorf, Ambrosini, Nocerino, Boateng and others are also strong. Nesta, who is in defense, is old and strong!
Facing such an opponent, one cannot be too cautious.
The venue of the game is naturally at the San Siro Stadium, home of AC Milan.
But speaking of this stadium, Inter Milan fans may not be willing to call it this name, they prefer to call this stadium Meazza!
For a long time, the stadium only had the name "San Siro".Until March 1980, in order to commemorate Meazza, the famous Italian football player who died the previous year, who had played for two Milan teams (in fact, Juventus), the Milan City Government officially named the stadium "Giuseppe Meazza Stadium".
Therefore, this stadium has two names, and the two wealthy teams that share this stadium, in order to reflect their respective hostility, each chose a name for this stadium.
The hostility between the two sides is also reflected in the name.
As a stadium shared by rivals in the same city, it is famous all over the world because the two teams are giants, so it has two names-San Siro and Meazza.
San Siro is what AC Milan fans call their own team's home court, and Meazza is what Inter Milan fans call this stadium. AC Milan fans will never call this stadium "Meazza", and Inter Milan fans will never allow others to call this stadium "San Siro" in front of them.
The antagonism between the fans of the two teams has created a special story in this stadium.
