Chapter 538 Champions League quarter-finals

Time came unknowingly on August 13, and the five major leagues had already ended.

Because there are fewer rematches in the Bundesliga, the league ended in June.

La Liga and Premier League also ended in July, Serie A was a little later, but the season ended in early August.

There is no need to say much about Ligue 1, they have confirmed that the season will end early.

Now only the Champions League matches are left, and they will all end in August.

Due to the particularity of this year, all single rounds are being played out in empty play.

After all, the new season is about to begin soon, and because of the postponement of this season, the players have no time to rest.

After this season is over, we will prepare for the next season.

Today, the first game of the Champions League quarterfinals will be played.

That is the match between Atlanta and Paris Saint-Germain.

Today, Cai Jian can only stay in front of the TV, and he is still very interested in this game.

Although in terms of overall strength, Atlanta is not as good as Paris Saint-Germain.

But Atlanta is in good shape this season and it is still worth looking forward to.

"Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to watch today's game. Today is the first game of the Champions League quarterfinals. The two sides are Atlanta and Paris Saint-Germain," Zhu Xiaoyu said at the opening commentary.

"Hesitating about the particularity of this year, the Champions League has made changes, from the original double round to a single round."

"This is also a helpless move. After all, it's already August and the new season is about to begin."

"But this does not prevent the excitement of today's game. I believe they will bring us a wonderful game."

"It is worth mentioning that today is the Chinese derby of the Champions League."

"It is Xia Zhong from Atlanta and Wang Yuanjie from Paris Saint-Germain."

"I will introduce the starting lineup of both sides. First of all, Paris Saint-Germain has given a 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1 Navas;

Defenders: 14 Bernat, 3 Jinpembé, 2 Thiago Silva, 4 Corel;

Midfielders: 21 Herrera, 5 Marquinios, 27 Idrisa Guy;

Forwards: 10 Neymar, 9 Wang Yuanjie, 19 Salavia."

"Then it's Atlanta, the official gave the 3-4-2-1 formation:

Goalkeeper: 57 Sportiero;

Defenders: 19 Jiumhiti, 3 Kardala, 2 Toroy;

Midfielders: 7 Chibola, 11 Freul, 8 Xia Zhong, 88 Passalic, 15 Druen, 33 Hartpur;

Forward: 91 Zapata.”

Today, for Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe appeared on the bench.

There are no other external factors, it is simply because Mbappe has just returned from injury.

With his current state, it is difficult to play the whole game.

Paris Saint-Germain's head coach Tuchel had no choice.

The core of this Paris Saint-Germain is undoubtedly Neymar.

Even though he was sad about the news before, he was still the core of the team.

But Wang Yuanjie is about to catch up with Neymar because of his excellent performance.

As far as Cai Jian knows, it seems that Neymar's annual salary alone is almost the same as the annual salary of the Atlanta team.

This is a bit exaggerated, and I have to say that Paris Saint-Germain is indeed rich.

But Atlanta may not necessarily lose, because as long as you take care of Neymar's point, you can well suppress Paris Saint-Germain's breakthrough ability.

This is a very feasible solution to limit Paris Saint-Germain's offense.

Especially Mbappe is still on the bench, and Wang Yuanjie is a forward who needs to pass the ball with his teammates.

Moreover, his advantage is actually difficult to limit him. He can play a key role in positional warfare or counterattack.

Moreover, Atlanta has performed very well recently, with the team scoring a total of 77 goals last season.

This season, they scored 98 goals in a crazily manner, with the score being the best in the Serie A League.

Atlanta has strong offensive firepower, among which Xia Zhong plays a crucial role.

As Atlanta's midfield brain, he managed the team's midfield organization very well.

However, the corresponding Atlanta defense has not been that great.

This is a team that is more powerful than defending, and it is relatively rare.

Head coach Gasperry has developed a tactic that is very suitable for Atlanta.

Today, Atlanta's tactical formation is not bad, Paris Saint-Germain is showing offensive tactics.

It was obvious that he wanted to fight Paris Saint-Germain head-on, but he didn't know whether Atlanta could defend Paris Saint-Germain's attack.

Judging from this starting lineup, the strength gap is not as big as the outside world thinks.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Just two minutes later, Atlanta launched an attack.

Unfortunately, the shot was hugged by Navas, and Navas decisively threw it out.

He threw the football to Neymar. After receiving the football, Neymar dribbled the ball forward and ran at full speed.

Paris Saint-Germain then launched a counterattack, but Neymar had several Atlanta players around.

Neymar knew in his heart that if he continued to dodge like this, the ball might be handed over.

So passing became his first choice, and he was looking for passing points.

Soon he noticed Wang Yuanjie's location. To outsiders, they had a very delicate relationship.

Neymar has always been the absolute core of the team, but his transfer news has caused a lot of controversy.

This led to the fact that the fans of Paris Saint-Germain were very dissatisfied with him, so Wang Yuanjie began to slowly take the lead.

Logically speaking, the relationship between the two of them should be awkward, but Neymar still gave Wang Yuanjie a pass.

Because Neymar still admires Wang Yuanjie very much, Wang Yuanjie's strength is indeed very outstanding.

When Wang Yuanjie faced the pass to him, he took a look at Neymar who was transmitting.

Neymar, who was passing the ball, was accelerating to the position in the middle.

In fact, Wang Yuanjie can turn around and push forward after finishing, after all, Wang Yuanjie's speed is still very fast.

Wang Yuanjie often picked the football forward, and he and Neymar cooperated.

It was just that they had a tacit cooperation, and Wang Yuanjie's pass was very imaginative and his pass was quite good.

Seeing this, Neymar ran towards the football and soon he received the pass.

After successfully receiving the pass, he directly formed a single shot, and soon Neymar drew the ball outside the penalty area.

Atlanta goalkeeper Sportiero had no choice but to attack, which was a helpless move.

Neymar saw Sportiello attacking and saw him picking his right foot towards the football.

He chose to pick a goal, and goalkeeper Sportiero did not encounter football.

Just as everyone thought the ball had been scored, even Neymar thought so.

But the football passed by the goal and finally got out of the bottom line.
