Of course, the score of [-]-[-] still gives Leverkusen room for imagination. Football games are always full of unpredictability. Maybe Leverkusen did not perform well at home, but instead broke out in an away game.

This kind of drama has not never happened in the football world, and similar reversals abound.

Therefore, the local media listed various data and examples to cheer for Leverkusen and attract the attention of Leverkusen fans.

In Spain, Atletico Madrid was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, winning a difficult away game in Germany, which greatly strengthened the morale of the team.

Therefore, in the league, Atletico Madrid has also maintained a high level of performance.

On March 20nd, the fifth round of No.[-] in the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Sevilla away.Both teams went away to participate in the European competition in the middle of the week, but Sevilla, who played in the Europa League, had to rest one day less, and Sevilla's lineup itself is not as thick as Atletico Madrid. , Therefore, in this game, Atletico Madrid scored goals in the first and second halves, and won the away game [-]-[-]!Li Qingshan and Torres each scored a goal for Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona's state Still not declining, they easily defeated Granada [-]-[-] away and continued to lead the standings.

Next is the league No.20 six rounds, Atletico Madrid vs. Valencia at home.Atletico Madrid's first league loss this season was thanks to Valencia. The Bat Corps is very good at blitz this season. 15 minutes before the start of the game, they often take the lead through high-position forcing.Facing Valencia again at home this time, Simeone dispatched his entire main lineup to find the field at home.

Atletico Madrid, which has home court advantage, besieged Sevilla from the very beginning, and finally after 10 minutes of fierce fighting, Atletico Madrid defeated the Bat Corps with a score of [-] to [-].Li Qingshan finally stopped his scoring goals in this game, but he made two direct assists in the game, one was to pass the ball to Cork to let Cork take a shot from the edge of the penalty area and open the scoring. The second time was after Mandzukic came off the bench, Li Qingshan headed the ball, and Mandzukic easily put the ball into the goal to help the team seal the victory.

In this round, Real Madrid lost points again, and they were defeated by Athletic Bilbao 2-[-] in the away game.As a result, Real Madrid is five points behind top-flight Barcelona and four points behind No.[-] Atletico Madrid.

Losing points from direct competitors is always a good thing for Atletico Madrid, but Atletico Madrid still dare not relax in the chaser position. They must always bite and Barcelona. It is unrealistic to expect Barcelona to lose points. The best hope is to be yourself, and then in the direct dialogue between the two teams, beat Barcelona and regain the top spot!

On March 20th, in the seventh round of La Liga No.[-], Atletico Madrid challenged the Espanyol away.Since this game is the second round against Leverkusen, the Simeone team made some rotations.

Atletico Madrid has also had a relatively intensive schedule recently, so more substitute players got the chance to start.Li Qingshan and Mandzukic partnered in the forward line. In the midfield position, Atletico Madrid's rotation is also very large, while the back line is relatively complete, retaining a defensive line of the main lineup.

In this game, the Spaniard once caused a lot of trouble for Atletico Madrid. Even at the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid answered the locker room with a score behind by one goal.

After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid's offensive line began to show its power. After Li Qingshan got the ball with his back in the penalty area, he was directly overturned to the ground by the Spaniard defender. The referee awarded a penalty kick.Since the team's first penalty shooter Raul Garcia and second penalty shooter Koke were not on the field, Li Qingshan personally took the penalty kick and hit it steadily.Not long after the score was equalized, Li Qingshan headed the ball into the Spaniard's goal through a corner kick, leading the score [-]-[-].That was also the score at the end of the game, with Atlético Madrid clinching a hard-fought victory in Catalonia.

And their two championship opponents also defeated their own opponents respectively, and the form of the top of the standings has not changed in this round.

After this game, Atletico Madrid entered the track of preparing for the Champions League.

The second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals will be played at Atletico Madrid's home court. Their opponent Leverkusen is definitely unwilling to lose. Therefore, this game is not easy for Atletico Madrid.

In order to ensure the victory of the game, Leverkusen's head coach Schmidt made adjustments to the team's starting lineup. He lined up a double-forward tactic with two centers. Other than that, the other positions remained unchanged. .

Schmidt still hopes to use the combination of side and center to attack Atletico Madrid's defense, and strive to score goals as soon as possible.

But these are things on paper, and football ultimately depends on the performance of the players in the game.

You can talk about it, but in the game, the decisive factors that affect the game are the overall state and technical strength of the players.

Leverkusen's offense is indeed very fierce, and they did score goals, but Simeone's Atletico Madrid is a team known for its defensive counterattacks. Leverkusen must attack with all their strength, and they must at least score. It takes three goals to eliminate Atletico Madrid, so they can't take their defense too much into account.

In this way, Atletico Madrid's counterattack also has a very comfortable space to play.

Only 8 minutes into the game, Leverkusen scored a goal through a free kick. Sun Xingmin's shot hit the crossbar and bounced back. Center Kisling made a supplementary shot.

However, before Leverkusen was happy for 2 minutes, Atletico Madrid equalized the score. It was Raul Garcia who scored the goal and Griezmann assisted him. But this goal is also due to Li Qingshan——Li Qingshan He leaped high and headed back to Griezmann. After receiving the ball, Griezmann stuffed the ball to Raul Garcia.

Atletico Madrid's counterattack was very skillful.

For Leverkusen though, a one-to-one scoreline is better for them than a zero-nil - now they only need to score two more goals.Therefore, they quickly organized a counterattack, and the overall formation was overwhelmingly pressed.

But before they scored again, Atletico Madrid scored another goal through a counterattack.Griezmann's speed has room for full play in this game. After Li Qingshan took the ball, he pushed forward, allowing Griezmann to race with the opponent's defender.

When Griezmann threw off the defender with his speed and faced the goalkeeper single-handedly, and calmly scored the ball, Leverkusen's morale fell to the bottom in an instant.

In an away game, the total score is three goals behind the opponent, and it is too difficult to score three goals in the next game and still not allow the opponent to score!

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Leverkusen [-]-[-] and broke into the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
