As soon as the results of the Champions League draw are released, some are happy and some are sad.

Soon, various conspiracy theories emerged.

Anyway, the rules are there, no matter who you draw, it is impossible for all teams to be happy.

However, the sixteen teams participating in the second stage of the group stage have all begun to hurry up and prepare for the game.

During the intensive schedule of the first stage of the group stage, Atletico Madrid's physical fitness and condition were well adjusted, and the team's rotation was orderly, so after summarizing the experience, the team decided to continue to stick to it.

During the two stages of group stage, there were more than two weeks in total, Gao Han rotated in the league and handed over the players to physical coach Buenaventura for batch training to prepare for the next second stage schedule.

However, Atletico Madrid still beat Espanyol and Real Betis at home, 1-0 respectively, and soon ushered in the first game of the second stage of the group stage.

Fight against Rome at home!

This season, Capello's team did not perform well in Serie A, and just lost to Parma to zero to three in the league.

Currently, Serie A has eleven rounds, with Roma winning four wins, four draws and three losses, scoring twenty-one goals and conceiving nineteen goals, ranking ninth in the league.

But in the Champions League, Capello's team's performance was a bit funny.

Two wins, three draws and one loss in the group stage, ranking behind Real Madrid, and qualifying as second in the group.

Interestingly, they only scored three goals, ranking third from the bottom among the 32 participating teams, only one goal more than Sparta Moscow, who lost all six games, and Genkor, who was Belgium in the same group.

But Capello's team only conceded four goals in the six-round group stage, deducting zero-to-three losses to Real Madrid in the first round, and only one of the remaining five rounds was lost, so the defense was quite outstanding.

This data shows that Capello's team is a typical one-to-zero team.

But if Roma is underestimated, any team will pay the price, including Real Madrid.

The Galaxy Battleships think that the offensive is strong, so after winning 3-0 in the first round away game, the two sides contacted in the second round and wanted to eat Roma in one bite at the Bernabeu Stadium, but Capello's team beat one-to-zero.

With the lessons of Real Madrid, Gao Han dared not be careless at all.

Facing Atletico Madrid, which was in a state of unstoppable victory, Capello also dared not underestimate the enemy.

In order to better suppress Atletico Madrid's midfielder, Capello adjusted his formation to 442.

This is also the formation they used when they defeated Real Madrid in an upset defeat at the Bernabeu Stadium.

The goalkeepers are Antonioli, the defenses are Candela, Samuel, Zebina and Panucci, the midfields are Delvicio, Lima, Emerson and Cafo, and the two forwards are Casano partnered with Toti.

Argentina veteran center Baptista sat on the bench.

Not only that, under Capello's careful arrangement, Roma also attacked at the beginning.

In just three minutes, Roma captured the loophole on the side of Marchena after passing the continuous passes in the midfield, and passed the ball directly in the penalty area with Casano shooting low from close range.

Fortunately, Cech reacted quickly and flew to save the ball, barely resolving a scoring crisis.

But the lead of Roma's team still surprised Atletico Madrid.

…………

…………

"The team coached by Capello is not simple at all!"

Standing under the roof of the home team coach's seat at the Madrid Calderon Stadium, Gao Han sighed softly.

A ball of white smoke rose in front of his eyes.

It is the end of November and the cold winter begins. It has just rained in Madrid. The air is cold and wet, and the venue is wet and slippery. This is quite unfavorable for a pass-by team like Atletico Madrid.

The reason why Machener failed to block the loophole in the left rib just now was because he almost slipped and was half a beat slower.

"This rain came very suddenly, we caught us off guard, and they must be no better place," said Cantalero.

Gao Han nodded, both teams were unprepared.

Even because of this sudden rain, the team's pre-match preparations were completely useless.

But some things cannot be changed.

"Tell them that the start-up attack is our specialty, so don't lose to our opponents!" Gao Han said with a confident smile.

"I want to see if Capello really dares to play against me!"

Even Gao Han couldn't help Rome to push it out.

Cantalero was also used to following Gao Han's instructions, and immediately walked to the sidelines and conveyed his meaning to the court.

…………

…………

As Gao Han adjusted, Atletico Madrid began to put pressure on Rome on the court.

Soon, Villa got a chance on the left and shot a long shot.

But the shooting angle was too straight and was easily taken off by goalkeeper Antonioli, and there was no threat at all.

Soon, it was still on the left. After Villa forced a ball and failed to break through, he crossed the ball across the middle. After Samuel intercepted the ball in the middle, the ball fell at Kaka's feet.

Once the Brazilian midfielder got the ball, he directly made a precise pass and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Antonioli attacked decisively and confiscated the ball before Torres.

But soon, Atletico Madrid organized an offensive again. Dario Serner stepped forward and cooperated with Torres. After passing the ball low on the right, Villa quickly stepped forward.

Just as Villa was about to score, goalkeeper Antonioli flew with a single punch and hit the ball out, resolving the crisis again.

A series of fierce offensives failed to score, but it helped Atletico Madrid regain control of the situation on the field.

Capello did as Gao Han expected, dared not make a quick move and began to defend his half, intending to counterattack.

But Gao Han is no longer the fledgling boy two years ago.

After two seasons of training, Gao Han Shendu took the opportunity to go with the flow on the court and achieved twice the result with half the effort.

So he immediately adjusted the team again and asked the whole team to speed up. At the same time, he used two four-star assault cards and offensive cards in the coaching system to form a rapid combination card effect to strengthen the offensive.

After this continuous action, Atletico Madrid began to put more pressure on Rome on the court.

Rome's entire midfield and backcourt seemed to be facing a big enemy, everyone was trembling, and everyone was walking on thin ice, afraid of making mistakes.

But sometimes the more nervous you are, the more likely you make mistakes.

In the 23rd minute, after Atletico Madrid passed continuously, Kaka dribbled the ball to Rome's defense, attracting the attention of two Brazilian compatriots, Emerson and Lima, and suddenly distributed the ball to Deco who was inserted into the back.

Deco took the ball and gave another sharp pass, trying to pass it behind the defense line.

This coordination route had been played before, and Roma was mentally prepared. Panucci blocked the ball in time and wanted to destroy the ball with his big foot.

But unexpectedly, Deco's kick was directly pushed against the ground and the ball was spinning strongly. In addition, the grass was wet and slippery. Panucci's hurried kick failed to kick the main part. Not only did he fail to clear the ball, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Villa, who had been ambushing, wouldn't he miss such a godsend opportunity? He quickly inserted it from behind and caught up with the ball in the penalty area.

But at this time, Rome's central defender Samuel had also recovered.

One-to-one!

As the La Liga scorer king, Villa's scoring ability has always been fearful, but he is not just able to score.

A quick and sharp breakthrough dribbling is also Villa's specialty.

I saw Villa, with the blessing of the four-star assault card, catch up with the ball, and then stop quickly, and then make a realistic and fake move. When Samuel thought he was going to make a cross from the bottom, he suddenly changed into the middle, shook Samuel away, and rubbed a curved ball with his right foot.

The ball rotated strongly, and turned into a strange arc and crashed into the upper right corner of the goal!

A blind spot!

Antonioli is out of reach!

One to zero!

The entire Olympic stadium first became silent, and then the anger and roar of Roman fans came from the roar.

But on the court, Villa and Atletico Madrid players were celebrating frantically.

Gao Han was so excited that he clenched his fists and shouted.

Leading!

"The game will be easy now!" Cantalero breathed a sigh of relief.

The members of the coaching team around them also nodded.

Who said no?

The most troublesome thing about Serie A teams is their defense, especially Capello's Roma.

Their unbreakable defense is their ability to beat Real Madrid 1-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Now, Atletico Madrid leads with one goal and takes the initiative.

It's Capello's turn to have a headache now.

"It's all because of the damn heavy rain!" Gao Han couldn't stop smiling.

The same mistake was made by Atletico Madrid just now, and Marchena almost slipped.

Even if that time was not for Cech to ensure the goal was not lost at a critical moment, the situation would have been completely rewritten now.
To be continued...
