Chapter 423 Ten enemies

Before this round of matches began, the famous European football company bwin updated the odds of winning the UEFA teams in this UEFA Cup.

Manchester United and Manchester City, two Champions League teams, relying on their strong team strength, are ranked among the top two in the championship odds respectively.

However, these two teams have not started very well in the UEFA Cup at the moment.

In the first leg, Manchester United lost to Spain's Athletic Bilbao in a 2:3 home game.

And their city rival Manchester City also lost the goal.

At Jose Alvarad Stadium, the Blue Moon was defeated by the Sporting Institute of Reus, with a score of 0:1.

Despite this, they are still favored by gambling companies.

Because, among the Europa League top 16 teams, Manchester United and Manchester City are obviously better than other teams.

Even if they lost the first leg, people thought they could complete the reversal in the second leg and then make it all the way to the final.

In the championship odds list, the second most popular team behind the Red Devils and Blue Moon is the opponent of the Mariners in this game, Atletico Madrid.

Gambling Company believes that the bed sheet army can pose a strong challenge to Manchester United and Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid, which has many big-name stars such as Falcao and Adrian, is definitely a super strong team on the stage of the Europa League.

In addition, teams such as Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, Riuss Athletic, Schalke 04, Udinese and others are also in a relatively high position in this championship odds list.

Where is Sampdoria?

exist

Win's opinion, Sampdoria's probability of winning is only higher than the five teams of Metalist, Olympiacos, Twente, Alkmaar, and Standard Liege.

Among all the top 16 teams, Sampdoria's odds of winning rank sixth last.

Obviously,

Win believes that Sampdoria is a member of the Europa League Soy Sauce Legion. The role of passers-by who plays soy sauce is the most likely role for sailors to play.

Those who win the championship should have little to do with them.

Last season, Sampdoria, who had star players such as Casano and Pazini, did not even make it through the Europa League group stage, so it is no wonder that Bwin despised them.

On March 15, in the absence of favorability, Sampdoria, who was not favored, welcomed the powerful Atletico Madrid team.

In this game, the lineups of the two teams were basically the same as in the previous game.

Atletico Madrid still uses their usual 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper Courtois, four defenders Juan Fran, Miranda, Godin and Philip Louis, and the double midfielders are Gabi and Mario Suarez.

The three attacking midfielders Adrian, Arda Turan, and Cork lined up in front of them, and the single arrowhead of the sudden front was Colombian shooter Falcao.

Sampdoria transformed the 451 formation in the last game into 433, which they were more used to and had stronger attack power.

In the starting lineup, French winger Biabiani replaced Semioli who started the field, and together with Coutinho, formed Sampdoria's wings.

In addition, Cardirola replaced Lucini, who was suspended, and played as a center back with Gastaldello.

In other positions, Kavacin made no adjustments and continued to use the appearance lineup.

As expected before the game, the Malasi Stadium was packed and all the seats were occupied by enthusiastic fans.

On the north side of the stands, 4,000 visiting fans formed the neat Atletico Madrid fan stands.

Other positions are all filled with Sampdoria fans.

In the stands, the sailors fans held blue flags, turning the entire court into a blue ocean, creating an excellent home atmosphere.

When Atletico Madrid entered the stadium, Sampdoria fans also expressed their "welcome" in their way.

The fans in the South Stand raised the color palette in their hands in an orderly manner and formed a huge slogan.

"Welcome to Hell!"

This is the fight back from the "customs" that the Sampdoria fans received at Calderon Stadium in the first leg.

They are not willing to suffer any loss.

Fans compete in the stands, while the team competes on the court.

As soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid took the stance of being the go-to.

With a powerful attack group composed of Falcao, Adrian, Arda Turan and Cork, they took the initiative to attack Sampdoria and successfully controlled the rhythm of the game.

Atletico Madrid has no psychological burden in this game.

Although the last leg was just a draw, they did not allow the Sampdorians to score a goal.

In this way, Atletico Madrid has no scruples in this game.

When the opponent does not score away goals, as long as they score one goal, they will have an advantage of 1.5 goals.

Therefore, Diego Simeone gave his brothers the instructions before the game, which is to attack first and defense second.

At his home court, Sampdoria certainly cannot act like she did when she was away.

Back at the Marasi Stadium, Sampdoria played more proactively amid the cheers of the fans.

As long as they have the opportunity, they are not hesitant to invest their offensive forces and try to threaten Atletico Madrid's gate.

The two teams have offensive and defensive on the court. Overall, Madrid has a slightly greater advantage and more opportunities.

However, they don’t have many ways to face the Sampdoria defense line led by Chu Jiang.

After several times, they bypassed the ball from Gastaldello and Cardirola's defenses, they had no way to cross the "city wall" of Chujiang.

Sampdoria's counterattack also created several opportunities, but the number of shots formed was not many, which did not pose much threat to the goal guarded by Courtois.

Faced with such a situation, Sampdoria took the lead in making changes.

Under Cavacin's command, Coutinho and Viabiani moved their positions back a little at the same time.

The purpose of this is to allow two skilled players to retreat and get the ball and respond to their teammates. When counterattacking, they can use enough depth to launch a surprise attack on the opponent's hinterland.

At the same time, Cavacino also let Coutinho and Biabianido take the ball, especially before the opponent's penalty area, increase the number of times they drive the ball and break through.

Obviously, this adjustment is to fully utilize the deterrent power of Chu Jiang's free kick.

If the opponent fouls, Chu Jiang will get the opportunity to take the penalty and set-piece; if the opponent dares not fouls, relying on the impact of the two players, especially Coutinho's passing ability, will put a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense line, thus creating an opportunity to score.

After Cavacin made the adjustment, it quickly achieved good results.

In the 25th minute of the game, Biabiani dribbled the ball on the right side of the midfield.

Without using his outstanding speed, he successfully got rid of Juan Fran's block and dribbled the ball and cut into the top of the penalty area.

Because he was afraid of Chu Jiangwen's free kick, Atletico Madrid's defensive player gave Biabiani enough space to pass the ball. As a result, Biabiani easily passed the ball to Klose.

In Atletico Madrid's penalty area, Klose leaned against the defender and immediately turned around and shot down and shot.

The football rushed towards the goal.

At the critical moment, Courtois fell to the ground to save the ball, and he could not poke the ball with his fingertips, barely blocking the football from outside.

Sampdoria's counterattack made Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, sweat in a cold sweat.

Soon, Atletico Madrid also made a tactical adjustment.

Simeone's countermeasure is to make Arda Turan and Cork pay attention to returning to defense, and at the same time, players such as Gabi and Mario Suarez strengthen interception in the midfield.

If Sampdoria strikes back, try to break the ball in the midfield and do not break it. If it really doesn't work, use tactical fouls to terminate the opponent's offense at the beginning of the counterattack.

After paying the price of two yellow cards, Atletico Madrid basically controlled Sampdoria's counterattack momentum, and the game scenes of the two teams were once again in a stalemate.

In the stalemate, time passes rapidly.

As time goes by, Atletico Madrid's advantage on the field gradually becomes more and more obvious.

Atletico Madrid and Sampdoria had league tasks last weekend.

Atletico Madrid's opponent is the bottom team Granada.

Even though most of the main players were hidden, they defeated their opponents at Calderon Stadium with a score of 2::0.

Sampdoria is visiting San Siro and facing the powerful AC Milan.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, they were finally defeated by all the main lineups.

Obviously, the schedule of the seven-day three-match schedule will cost Sampdoria much more than Atletico Madrid.

As the first half approached, Sampdoria's physical strength gradually showed a bottleneck, and she was obviously not as good as Atletico Madrid players in their running.

In this way, Atletico Madrid will naturally gain greater advantage in the scene.

As the number of attacks increases, they create more and more scoring opportunities.

In the 39th minute, Cork used his speed to rush Lazko and sent out a cross that was over the top.

Falcao headed the ball in the penalty area, and Chu Jiang jumped and lifted the ball out of the crossbar.

Two minutes later, Falcao passed by in front of Sampdoria's penalty area.

After breaking through Cardirola, Falcao passed the ball diagonally to the left of the penalty area.

At this time, Atletico Madrid's left-back Juan Fran had assisted.

Unattended to guard him, he swung his legs and shot hard. The football was like a cannonball, pressing against the turf and heading straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

At this critical moment, Chu Jiang once again saved his team.

He fell sideways and rushed forward, and before the football flew into the net, he hit the football first, changed its flight route, and shot it out of the bottom line.

Atletico Madrid's bombing made Chu Jiang shining outstanding performance throughout the game.
