Chapter 216
When the game resumed, the referee immediately blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
The two teams of players walked off the pitch and into the players' tunnel in very different shapes.
A two-goal lead makes the atmosphere in City's dressing room extremely relaxed, even cheerful.
Although they also felt the pressure in the first half of the first half, with Xu Ning's two goals, all the pressure disappeared.
As it turned out, there was no goal that Xu Ning couldn't break.
As for the second half, they were even less worried.
Atletico can't finish the game with this score anyway, they still have a chance to catch Atletico's counter-attack.
Even when Atletico are severely demoralized, they may even attack head-on and completely defeat Atletico.
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't want to lose their character, I'm afraid they would already be celebrating in advance with champagne in the dressing room.
"Three more goals in the second half!"
"Make the second round completely meaningless!"
"I think I can get in too!"
"Xu Ning, you shouldn't be holding your hat-trick, right?"
"How about giving me an assist?"
The teammates are really not taking Atletico seriously anymore.
Xu Ning naturally did not go to the disappointment, at this time said that Atletico is very strong and so on, and really made a fuss with his teammates.
However, when Pellegrini walked into the dressing room, everyone still collected their emotions and prepared to listen to instructions.
Pellegrini has really changed the team.
It's time to strengthen your defense!
Fernandinho replaced Sergio Aguero and City became a 4231 formation.
In Pellegrini's view, it is enough to have Xu Ning in the counterattack anyway, and Aguero actually has little effect on the field.
And strengthening the defense is to try not to score away goals for Atletico as much as possible.
The current scoreline, Pellegrini is absolutely acceptable.
Even if it does not completely stifle the suspense, it still firmly grasps the initiative.
As long as an away goal can be scored on the road, Atletico must score more than four goals at home to eliminate Manchester City.
Then I'm afraid Atletico will really raise their hands and surrender!
So, even though the players may want to attack, Pellegrini still sets out tactics in a results-oriented manner.
Of course, the players will not question the manager's arrangement.
Even Xu Ning came on the bench at every turn, and I didn't see that Xu Ning was dissatisfied, what else could they say!
When the players of both teams returned to the field and saw the Manchester City arrangement, Simeone's face turned livid.
He really couldn't hold back!
You say that you Manchester City have such a big advantage, why are you still so conservative?
Why can't we be given a chance?
You know, Fernandinho's appearance definitely represents a change in Manchester City's tactical thinking.
And the addition of a defensive back is also a big obstacle for Atletico's attack.
It's so uncomfortable!
Even in La Liga against Barca and Real Madrid this season, Simeone has not been so upset.
But no matter what, the game still has to continue to play, and Simeone can only bite the bullet and let the players attack.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City took a solid defense as the premise, and Xu Ning participated in the pressing of the central midfield, and the overall Atletico attack was torn apart.
Atletico made a fierce attack, and although they also created a lot of threats, they were never able to break through the Manchester City goal.
In the 73rd minute of the second half, Xu Ning assisted Yaya Toure to score the third goal of the game for Manchester City, which completely doused Atletico's spirit.
If Atletico hadn't pulled back to defend in the end, City's fourth and fifth goals would have appeared.
Manchester City beat Atletico Madrid 3-0
to win the first leg.
Not only was the score perfect, but Atletico didn't get an away goal!
It can be said that Manchester City once again entered the next round with one foot after the first game!
When the referee blew the final whistle, the Atletico players looked distracted and it was difficult to accept the result.
Especially Diego Costa.
Having performed quite impressively in La Liga this season, he did nothing in this game.
On the other hand, Xu Ning, who has always been his target, directly defeated Atletico's defense with his best performance.
It can be said that Manchester City can win, almost all of Xu Ning's credit.
How can he accept this with a proud heart!
But at this moment, Xu Ning walked up to him, took off his shirt, and handed it to him.
"Go back and think about my proposal!"
"Anyway, I think Portugal is more suitable for you!"
Xu Ning said with a smile while handing him the jersey.
Diego Costa subconsciously took off his shirt and also took Xu Ning's shirt, but Xu Ning's words kept echoing in his mind.
Is the Portuguese national team really right for you?
Of course, this problem will really trouble him for a while in the future, and it will be difficult to decide after all!
Manchester City players were led by captain Vincent Kompany to the sidelines to thank the fans for their support.
And in this link, if Xu Ning hadn't exchanged jerseys with his opponent, his jerseys would definitely not be kept.
Everyone took off their shirts together and threw them in the stands, which was a gift for the fans.
Xu Ning can't throw Diego Costa's jersey in the stands, but the sneakers can.
As for whether the fans like the smell of shoes or not, it is not something that Xu Ning has to worry about.
Xu Ning attended the post-match press conference with Pellegrini, and he was eager to see if Simeone would still be tough and not admit defeat.
Still, Simeone's statement disappointed him a bit.
"Manchester City with Xu Ning is undoubtedly the strongest team in world football, and there is no one!"
"Although we tried our best in this game, we still didn't get the desired result!"
"Of course, we will still give our best in the second round, even if there is little hope, we will never give up!"
"There is really no shame in losing to the champion!"
Simeone's tone was extremely emotional, as if he had seen through the entire world football.
Journalists agree.
If they don't take into account the distortion of the report, just the game itself, they can see that Manchester City's victory is a matter of course.
Simeone's team has done well enough.
Although they are not the team that conceded the fewest goals against Manchester City, at least from the first half of the game, they found a way to compete with Manchester City.
But in the end, because of Xu Ning's toughness, Atletico Madrid was still at the foot of Manchester City.
Atletico can't really be blamed for this!
Even fans who go to the airport to greet Atletico are comforting the Atletico players with tears instead of scolding them for their poor performance like in other losing games.
And this game also gave more inspiration to other teams that have ideas about the championship.
Like Real Madrid, like Bayern, like Grand Paris and so on.
Why is there no Barça?
Sorry, Barça insists on passing control without wavering!
Even if you lose as a dog, you must kick the pass control and resolutely do not compromise!
