After ninety minutes of fierce battle with Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid had no chance to breathe, and they were going to play in the Champions League group stage away.

But this away game is not easy to play.

Because their opponent is Türkiye's powerful team Galatasaray.

Galatasaray's home court is known as the "Hell home court".

There is a particularly famous thing about this stadium, that is, when the Premier League team Leeds United came here to play the Champions League match with Galatasaray, the tragedy of Leeds United fans being stabbed to death by the violent Galatasaray fans.

In addition, Manchester United also visited the stadium in the 1993 Champions League. At that time, a slogan on the stadium spread throughout the world: "Welcome to hell!"

For a time, Galatasaray's home court Ali Samiyan Stadium was nicknamed "Home Stadium in Hell".

The atmosphere of this stadium is very fanatical, and fans do everything they can to put pressure on their opponents.

When Manchester United arrived in Istanbul, there were slogans from Galatasaray fans everywhere. Thousands of people shouted at the confused Manchester United players and threw things at them. They also gathered outside the hotel where they were staying to sing and call the hotel room, just to prevent Manchester United players from resting well, which made Manchester United players exhausted both physically and mentally.

Coupled with the tension they created in the stands, Manchester United players were not interested in the game. In the last game, Manchester United and Galatasaray tied 0:0 because Galatasaray drew 3:3 with Manchester United in the away game in the previous round, so Manchester United was eliminated due to a away goal disadvantage.

However, at that time, Manchester United players no longer care about advancing or not. They just wonder whether they can walk out of this terrible hell alive.

Not only the fans, but even the security personnel on this stadium are all concerned about the home team.

It was the match between Manchester United and Galatasaray. At that time, Cantona was sent off with a red card because of his heavy weight on the referee. After the game, Manchester United players, including Mark Hughes, had a fierce conflict with Galatasaray players. In the player channel, Cantona and the referee team clashed again, causing chaos. In the chaos, Cantona was hit by the Turkish police with a baton in the head, and Brian Robson was also scratched by the police shield while pulling the frame, and two stitches were stitched with a color on his arm...

Most teams that come here to visit are facing huge psychological pressure and it is difficult to perform normally.

After all, compared to the victory of football, life safety is more important.

Of course not all the games played at Ali Samiyan are so intense.

But this stadium has indeed become famous all over the world through these two events.

The matter of stabbing Leeds United fans to death is a tragedy no matter where it is placed. But the extreme fans of Galatasaray regard this as a very glorious thing, spread it everywhere, and deliberately create panic. They wish that all the teams that come here to play away have no fans and no fans cheering for them. At that time, all these away players can hear the boo and scolding in the game.

They believe that if this is true, I'm afraid no team can win at Ali Samiyan Stadium.

Unfortunately, their wish has not been realized so far.

After Atletico Madrid arrived in Galatasaray, they were also "welcome" by Galatasaray fans at the airport. Songs and firecrackers can be heard outside the hotel in the middle of the night.

Diego Simeone stood by the window, looking through the gaps in the curtains at the Galatasaray fans on the street, singing and dancing.

Actually, Simeone had expected this to happen to the Galatasaray fans, but he could not stop it. This is their home court, and from the hotel to the police, they are probably in the same group as Galatasaray.

Even if he protests or complains, it is useless.

In the end, I was exhausted from tossing.

So he had to choose to ignore it, just hope that his players can have a good night's sleep tonight...

Although the windows were closed, the music and firecrackers outside could still be heard, especially the sound of firecrackers. They didn't know when they would sound, and it seemed that they only looked at the mood of Galatasaray fans. But because of this, the sound of firecrackers that didn't know when they would sound next time was even more disturbing. It was a bit like the tenant who returned home in the middle of the night, and the neurasthenia downstairs didn't know when the second boot would fall, so the mentality of not being able to fall asleep peacefully was the same.

In Gao Zheng's room, a snoring sounded.

The sound of firecrackers and singing outside could not interrupt the snoring in the room.

Gao Zheng was not affected at all in the noisy environment and was sleeping soundly...

But his roommate Stefan Savage was in trouble. His left ear was Gao Zheng's snoring one after another, and his right ear was the singing and firecrackers of Galatasaray fans outside.

Savage couldn't fall asleep even after tossing and turning.

He opened his eyes wide and stared at the hotel ceiling in a daze, feeling a little glad that he was a substitute in this game. Otherwise, with his sleep quality, how could he ensure the game status at that time?

Savage turned over and looked at Gao Zheng, and admired Gao Zheng for being able to fall asleep under such circumstances.

In Gao Zheng's ear, an earplug took off, and music came out faintly from the inside. However, under the cover of his snoring and the noise outside, Savage was not heard...

The next day, when Gao Zheng and his teammates warmed up at Ali Samiyan Stadium, the stands were already filled with Galatasaray fans.

Generally speaking, fans often start entering the field when the team starts to warm up.

But Galatasaray's home court must be different from those outside, so when Atletico Madrid players came to the stadium to warm up, the stands were completely filled with people.

These Galatasaray fans hung their banners and slogans in the stands, and several large flags were already standing, and giant tifos were being pieced together. At the same time, Galatasaray fans were still singing non-stop, as if their voices were made by machines, completely untiring.

In addition, red and yellow signal flares were lit in the stands, and the smoke emitted was exactly the color of Galatasaray's home jersey. At a sudden glance, it seemed that the stands of Ali Samyan Stadium were burning.

However, the effect of this "fire" is really similar to the scene of hell filled with magma.

The huge momentum they created hits everyone's ears and eyes.

It may also impact their hearts...

Gao Zheng was warming up and found that his roommate Savage's face looked a little ugly, so he took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't worry, Stefan. Although these home team fans are calling happily, there is nothing scary. They are just a group of paper tigers. Do you know what paper tigers mean? They are just like goods, they are not useful! Haha!"

Gao Zheng said this and immediately attracted the attention of other teammates to Savage, and they all looked at him.

Everyone mistakenly thought that he was scared by the devil's home court, Savage quickly defended himself: "Uh, Gao, you misunderstood... My face was not good because I didn't sleep well yesterday..."

When they heard that Savage had not had a good sleep, some of their teammates expressed their understanding: "Indeed, yesterday the group of Galatasaray fans were almost making a fuss outside the hotel all night..."

Savage waved his hand: "No, actually the main reason why I can't sleep well is..."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a high snoring..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then turned their eyes to Gao Zheng.

In front of everyone, Gao Zheng frowned: "Nonsense, I don't snore when I sleep!"

But immediately someone who had lived in the same room with Gao Zheng jumped out, for example, Griezmann raised his hand and said, "I testify that Gao's snoring is really loud!"

After Savage found his comrades, he immediately nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! I'll just say it!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Gao Zheng argued for himself.

But more people stood up to prove Gao Zheng.

The other teammates burst into laughter when they saw this.

Gao Zheng has always been the treatment of a core figure in the team and is in all the glory on the court, so it is really a happy thing to see him being defeated at this time...

Simeone and assistant coach Boggs were watching the players’ warm-up on the training ground, and they naturally felt the huge momentum created by the home team fans.

"To be honest, the Turks are good at doing this..." Assistant coach Boggs looked at the Galatasaray fans in the stands worriedly. "They have done their best to win the first Champions League group. But it's right to think about it. This is their home court after all. If they want to compete for the right to qualify in the group, it would be great if we can win at home..."

"If it's just the right to qualify in the group, I think they won't be so serious in this game. I'm afraid they will compete with us for the first place in the group." Simeone said.

Before he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the Atletico Madrid players who were warming up.
Chapter completed!
