On April 1, the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match.

Chinatown challenged Dortmund away. With one goal conceded first, center Firmino assisted Ilia Lamendi to score a goal. This Spanish local midfielder didn't score many goals this season, but every goal is very critical.

However, in the 89th minute, Ilia Lamendi, who performed very well in this game, received the second yellow card and was sent off by a red card, which also made him destined to miss the home game in the second round.

What is even more surprising is that Chinatown's ball possession in this game hit a new high, even in the away game, it still scored a possession rate of 72%, while Dortmund only had a mere 28%.

The away game was 1-1 and got a valuable away goal, which once again won recognition of Chinatown's performance in the Champions League, especially in the face of Klopp's Dortmund, this report card greatly increased the hope of advancing to the semi-finals.

April 5th, the 32nd round of La Liga.

Chinatown defeated Levante 2-1 without any danger away.

But Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid also won one after another, and the league standings remain unchanged.

With only six rounds left, Atletico Madrid and Chinatown have the same points, both 79 points, but Barcelona is only one point less than these two teams. Real Madrid is much behind, and the fourth place in the league is basically stable.

But in the end, the suspense of who can win the championship is still very confusing.

Three days later, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match.

Chinatown continued its wonderful performance in the first leg and completely controlled the ball. Its possession rate of 73% left Dortmund helping Morata, Isco and Griezmann to defeat the Hornets at home three-to-one, and finally advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of four-two.

After losing the game, Klopp said with great regret that his team is indeed not as good as Chinatown.

The other three teams entering the semi-finals are Atletico Madrid and Manchester City in the first half, as well as Chinatown and Bayern Munich in the second half.

After returning to the La Liga, the 33rd round of the game was ushered in.

Chinatown defeated Malaga three-to-zero at home, and Zidane's team showed enough fighting spirit.

In this round, Barcelona lost 0-1 away to Granada, which was once again unexpectedly upset, but Atletico Madrid beat Getafe 2-0 away and continued to maintain the position of the leading position in the standings.

On the evening of April 16, Valencia Mestalia Stadium.

In the final of the Copa del Rey, Chinatown vs. Atletico Madrid.

…………

…………

The league and the Champions League are at critical moments, and this game is stuck in the middle of two rounds of the league, so Chinatown and Atletico Madrid have rotated, and Zidane and Simeone have rotated four players.

Especially Chinatown, after playing the King's Cup final in the mid-week, Barcelona will be held on the weekend, and the first leg of the Champions League semi-final will be held next Wednesday, with Bayern Munich at home against Guardiola.

In recent times, Chinatown has been a devilish schedule.

In addition, after the team lost consecutive points, they gave up their position as the league leader, which put Zidane and the team under tremendous psychological pressure. Everyone is looking forward to Chinatown being able to defeat Atletico Madrid in this game and defeat the inner demons.

Indeed, Atletico Madrid has always been the miserable of Chinatown. The team basically loses more and wins less, but it is not as confident as playing against Barcelona and Real Madrid.

However, in this game, Zidane still insisted on the team's pass-and-control style, hoping to use the pass-and-control to curb Atletico Madrid.

Simeone also knew Zidane's idea very well, so she put on a defensive posture, gave up possession, and focused on defensive counterattack.

Just 11 minutes into the first half, Atletico Madrid used a counterattack, Navas earned a corner kick on the right, and Ramos headed the ball in the penalty area, opening the first record for the Beds Legion.

After that, the two sides fought hard, especially in the second half, Chinatown launched a crazy counterattack.

In the 65th minute, Chinatown made consecutive wall-to-wall cooperation. After Isco, Hazard and Firmino passed the ball continuously, it caused a mistake in Atletico Madrid's defense. Griezmann entered the penalty area and scored a low shot from 12 meters in front of the goal, equalizing the score for Chinatown.

Afterwards, Chinatown made a concerted effort and continued to launch a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid's defense line. Head coach Zidane's substitution was mainly to further strengthen the offense, while Simeone continued to strive for a steady defense.

When two teams with different ideas appear on the court, they become fierce collisions of offense and defense.

Chinatown once reversed the opponent and took advantage of the opportunity to get a corner kick. Griezmann took the corner kick, and Varane headed the ball, but the referee signaled that Varane had a foul on Ramos, who was defending him before taking off, and the penalty goal was invalid.

But in the 86th minute, Atletico Madrid made another counterattack, Schneiderlin intercepted the ball, Herrera made a straight pass, and Torres successfully scored a single goal against the offside, scoring a fatal final goal for the Beds Legion.

After conceding the ball again, Chinatown counterattacked angrily.

In the 89th minute, Verati made a straight pass, and Hazard shot alone from 12 meters in front of the goal, but the ball hit the right post and bounced back.

After missing consecutive scoring opportunities, Chinatown finally failed to turn the situation around.

One to two, Chinatown regrettably lost the King's Cup final.

…………

Gao Han sat upright in the stands at the Mestalia Stadium, next to him was Atletico Madrid's chairman Cerrezo and general manager Hill. The showdown under the stadium will not affect their relationship in the stands.

When Gao Han saw Hazard's shot failing to enter, he shook his head uncontrollably.

Especially when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, many players from Chinatown knelt on the court, and some even cried bitterly, with extremely sad expressions, which made Gao Han in the stands unable to help but feel sad.

The two teams are more like brother teams. Atletico Madrid have players from Chinatown such as Schneiderlin and Herrera. Coupled with the cooperation over the past decade, the two teams have a very good relationship with each other.

After the whistle rang at the end of the game, many Atletico Madrid stars, including Torres, Villa and Ramos, took the initiative to comfort the players in Chinatown, which made the originally intense game scene suddenly become warm.

Gao Han in the stands shook his head heavily and sighed.

"If the team's average age is two years older, you will definitely lose this game." Gao Han said confidently.

Many mistakes in the game are not that big should be made, not because of the lack of strength of Chinatown players, but because of experience and understanding of the game. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid has better combined age and higher overall performance, so that it can defeat Chinatown under a weak situation.

Judging from the game data, Chinatown is better and better than Atletico Madrid, whether it is ball possession rate, pass success rate, shot number, or chance of shooting directly to the goal, but unfortunately, these cannot change the final score.

Gao Han's words are somewhat protective, but they cannot refute them.

As the lowest average age in the La Liga, the team is filled with a group of young guards with young players in their twenties. Chinatown has sold its core main players for many years, but the team's competitiveness has improved step by step.

If everyone thought Chinatown had reached its peak during his coaching period before, Zidane's coaching and Gao Han's presence have made Chinatown re-energize this season, and there have been breakthrough progress in both performance and performance.

The most obvious thing is that on the offensive end, Chinatown's offensive ability is second only to Barcelona.

But you should know that Barcelona has two superstars, Messi and Ibrahimovic. Chinatown is characterized by many blooming places. There are only eight players in the team who have scored double-digit goals in various competitions this season, which is second to none in La Liga.

"You are right. In two years, the whole of Europe will be yours." Xiao Hill also praised with conscience.

Atletico Madrid won this game very dangerously. Both goals were the result of counterattacks, including the mistakes of the Chinese City players themselves. However, China City has also threatened Atletico Madrid's goal many times, and even once the goal was invalid or the post was hit, which was enough to prove the strength of China City.

Such a group of players will definitely be shocked by the entire European football world in time.

"However, you still have to think about how to deal with the poaching of wealthy families this summer." Serezo teased.

Atletico Madrid himself has a deep understanding of this situation.

That year, under Gao Han's coaching, he reached the peak of history, but what followed was that the stars were poached one after another, and even later had to change the team's playing style. With Simeone's philosophy as the team, he rebuilds the current iron-blooded legion.

Chinatown is undoubtedly facing such a dilemma.

But Gao Han already knew it.

After hearing Serezzo's words, he snorted and laughed twice, "Don't say it as if you didn't think about poaching us. Let me tell you, friendship is the most important member of us, there is no penalty for liquidated contract, don't expect to take it away."

Atletico Madrid wants Godin, which is obvious.

Serezo and Hill looked at each other, both showing helpless expressions.

The number one black store in Europe, this name is not called fake.

…………

…………

Chinatown lost to Atletico Madrid one-to-two, and lost the Cup of Kings Championship, which caused heated discussions among fans throughout Spain and even the world.

After entering the second half of the season, Chinatown's performance is indeed not as stable as the first half. One of the important reasons is that whether it is the Champions League or the King's Cup, the opponents they face are obviously getting stronger and stronger, and the competitive pressure in the league is also getting greater and greater.

In this case, the team lost points more seriously than in the first half, which is understandable.

However, well-known media people close to Chinatown, including Matayana and Dela Morena, have all appealed, hoping that Chinatown can regain its mood as soon as possible and get out of the shadow of the Copa del Rey defeat.

Zidane also said in an interview with the media, "We don't have time to lick our wounds, because what we have to face next will be a life-and-death battle."

Everyone understands what Zidane said is to challenge Barcelona away.

Now that the competition for the league championship has entered a white-hot stage, this game will undoubtedly change the development trend of the league in the future, especially for Chinatown.

But there is a saying that goes, blessings will never come in one way or another.

The front foot just lost the Copa del Rey at Mestalia Stadium. Three days later, Chinatown was scored by Barcelona in the last twenty minutes with a goal in the first place. Ibrahimovic and Messi scored one goal each, helping Barcelona complete a reversal.

This caused Chinatown to suffer an unprecedented blow.

After losing to Barcelona, ​​Chinatown fell behind Atletico Madrid in the standings.
