Chapter 170 Sevilla's home
Blanco asked Gao Zheng to scold him on Twitter, hoping that Gao Zheng could reply to him again, but except for that tweet, Gao Zheng never spoke up online again.
This made Blanco very upset.
But in order to maintain his image, he unilaterally announced his victory on the Internet. Because in the face of his doubts and rebuttals, Gao Zheng didn't even dare to fart. Isn't this victory?
As for whether Gao Zheng can really help Atletico Madrid defeat Barcelona, it was the first thing that happened after the thirteenth round of the league.
Atletico Madrid is facing Sevilla in the league.
This is a team currently ranked fifth, with great strength, and Atletico Madrid is still away.
Considering that they were in modest form against Leverkusen, the result of this game was naturally very concerned.
Before the game, Blanco expressed his gloating feeling on Twitter: "Gao told me that Atletico Madrid would beat Barcelona at home, and the implication was that Atletico Madrid could still compete for the league championship. But I think defeating Barcelona is after the thirteenth round of the league, but the game against Sevilla is imminent. If Atletico Madrid also loses in this game, then I think it's better not to mention the league championship, right? It's embarrassing..."
Herrera was really angry when she saw Blanco's remarks, but the game had not yet been held, so he couldn't fight back. Otherwise, if Atletico Madrid really lost, wouldn't he be beaten to the door?

Atletico Madrid's away challenge to Sevilla was kicked off at 6 pm local time, and at 2 am Beijing time the next day.
Although it was such a late game, there were still many fans waiting in front of the TV to prepare to watch the live broadcast of the game.
The quarrel between Gao Zheng and the Barcelona media was spread by the Internet and the media, and Chinese fans all knew about it. Naturally, everyone was indignant. There were various discussions about this kind of thing, but it was generally believed that the reporter named Blanco was indeed bullying others by virtue of his power.
I felt very happy when I was bullying others with my power, but after being crushed by Gao Zheng, I changed my face and lay on the ground and rolled around.
Chinese fans despise this behavior.
So they are more looking forward to Atletico Madrid being able to produce real results to hit Blanco in the face.
First of all, you must not lose to Sevilla.
Otherwise, all the big words I said before would hit Gao Zheng in the face.

Because the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will not take place until March 17, the match against Sevilla does not need to be rotated because of the Champions League. In this game, Simeone sent the strongest lineup he could.
Even Cork and Saul, who were injured against Real Madrid, returned to the roster, but did not play.
In this game, Simeone also adjusted the formation. She played 451 and arranged five players in the midfield to vowing to compete for control of the midfield.
As long as you can control the midfield, Atletico Madrid will have hope of winning in this game.
Sevilla naturally also made all the main players. It was also 451, but Sevilla played in the position of double midfielders, and was still mainly defending.
This is at Sevilla's own home court, but why do they put on a defensive posture instead?
Because they are facing Atletico Madrid attack line led by Gao Zheng.
Although Cork and Saul both sat on the bench in this game, Atletico Madrid also has attackers like Arda Tulan and Griezmann.
Judging from the league standings, although Sevilla and Atletico Madrid are only two places apart, the points of the two teams are far apart. Atletico Madrid is now ranked third in 56 points, and Sevilla is ranked fifth, but the points are only forty-five points, which is eleven points away from Atletico Madrid.
The first encounter between the two sides this season was Atletico Madrid's home game, and Atletico Madrid defeated his opponent 4-0 at his home court.
This time when he returned to his home court, Sevilla certainly would not forget their miserable defeat in the last time he fought.
So the game started in high-intensity confrontation from the first minute.
In the 20th minute, Alibaba used a yellow card to summarize Sevilla's fierce battle during this period.
However, Atletico Madrid is not a vegetarian. You should know the most famous fighting spirit and tough style of Atletico Madrid under Simeone's rule.
So when Sevilla was fighting against them, Atletico Madrid was not willing to be outdone and used the same defense to fight back.
In the first half, two players from Atletico Madrid received yellow cards, namely Arda Tulan and captain Gabi.
Although the score is still 0:0, Atletico Madrid has already led 2:1 in terms of yellow cards.

The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half, and the tough and fierce style of the game did not change.
The second half had just begun four minutes, and in the 49th minute, Sevilla's midfielder Gergoz Correjoviak received a yellow card for a rough foul.
Atletico Madrid immediately changed his clothes. In the 51st minute, the 52nd minute, and the 55th minute, three Atletico Madrid players received yellow cards for fouls, namely Jessus Gamez, Griezmann and Mario Suarez.
"Now, Atletico Madrid has taken the lead again in the number of yellow cards, and it is far ahead!" Jose Maria teased.
But Atletico Madrid fans do not care who leads the number of yellow cards, they care more about the score.
Now the game has been played for almost an hour, and the score is still 0:0. No matter what, Sevilla's tough style of playing at home really played a role and did not concede the ball.
In the last encounter between the two sides, Atletico Madrid had already led Sevilla by three goals in the same period.
It has to be said that Sevilla's home court is indeed difficult to play.
But no matter how difficult it is to play, Atletico Madrid must win the opponent here, otherwise what else can we talk about fighting for the league championship?
One thing Blanco is right. As long as Barcelona does not lose the next game, they can still compete with Real Madrid for the league championship. After all, Barcelona will have a direct conversation with Real Madrid. As long as they can defeat Real Madrid, the four-point gap can be narrowed to one point.
Atletico Madrid first has no chance to play against Real Madrid. Secondly, if they lose even one more game, they may be completely widened by the two Spanish Super League players.

Daniel Herrera knew that he had become an unpopular figure in the bar. His former companions complained that he had implicated Gao Zheng and caused trouble for Gao Zheng.
So in this game, he did not go to the bar to watch football with his companions as usual, but stayed at home and watched the game alone.
It was almost sixty minutes long, and Atletico Madrid still couldn't score, so he was a little anxious.
Even if this game is not lost in the end and is a draw, he cannot accept this result.
Competing with teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, they are all defeated in the draw.
He hopes the team can score goals.
But looking at other Atletico Madrid players such as Griezmann and Arda Turan, it seems that they cannot pin their hopes for goals.
The TV broadcast gave the close-up shot to Gao Zheng, and even Herrera felt deeply that if she wanted to break the deadlock, if anyone could make Atletico Madrid score three points at Sevilla's home court, I'm afraid the only person in the close-up shot would be...
In the past, he rejected this idea in his heart.
But now he couldn't control his vague expectations deep in his heart.
Chapter completed!
