Chapter 976 Advance towards the final
Simeone is obviously also a very smart person, otherwise his career would not be as good as most players, and he would not be able to become the head coach and achieve his current achievements.

Not long after Lin Dong left, Simeone figured it all out. Atletico Madrid’s coach Simeone knew the changes best, not to mention Simeone was also one of the changes. Therefore, it might be the best choice for Lin Dong to leave now at this point in time. Instead of waiting for a future explosion, it is better to keep this goodness now.

Having figured this out, Simeone had other ideas about Lin Dong's absence, and he also promised Lin Dong to keep this secret until he had a real showdown with the club.

Doing so can also allow Atletico Madrid to concentrate on preparing for the next game. If the news of Lin Dong's departure is heard by the club's top management, it will be difficult not to be exposed. It will definitely affect the preparation at that time, so keeping this secret is not only for Lin Dong, but also for Simeone himself and the entire team.

Moreover, Lin Dong didn't need to tell Simeone these things. After all, Lin Dong is still happy with these two seasons and has a certain respect for Simeone.

After learning about Lin Dong's thoughts, Simeone changed his focus in the next game and let Lin Dong return to the starting lineup. However, Simeone only gave Lin Dong half-time. Whether it is against Lin Dong, Simeone or even the entire Atletico Madrid, the Champions League in the middle of the week is the most important.

Although it was only halftime, Simeone was even more extreme tactically. Throughout the first half, Atletico Madrid's offense was almost all playing Lin Dong's upload.

"Could it be that the Atlético Madrid players are going to score for Lin Dong?" The commentator immediately discovered this.

Atletico Madrid has already defended the title, so the outcome of the next three games will have no impact on the entire league, no, it should be said that it has no impact on Atletico Madrid.

Naturally, Lin Dong would not let his teammates down and let Simeone down. Throughout the first half, Lin Dong actually shot ten shots by himself. It can be seen that Atletico Madrid's shots were concentrated in the first half. Among the ten shots, eight of Lin Dong's shots were within the range of the goal frame, and two of these eight shots sent the ball into Levante's goal.

2:1, this is the score of the first half of the game, because the defense line is full of substitutes and young players, Atletico Madrid's defense in this game is actually not good, and they use offense to suppress their opponents.

This point was also proved in the second half. After Lin Dong was replaced by Torres, Atletico Madrid's offense immediately dropped by one block. Although Torres, who came on as a substitute for Lin Dong, scored another goal in the second half, Atletico Madrid failed to win in the end.

3:3, it was Levante's turn to score two goals in the second half. In the end, the score of the game was rewritten to 3:3, but this draw is completely acceptable for Atletico Madrid.

After the game, the media and fans focused their attention on Lin Dong again, because after scoring twice in this game, Lin Dong has scored an unforgettable 70 goals.

The football league has its own official statistics. This is a statistic that no one has ever achieved. Not to mention whether it was unprecedented in ancient times, but it is certain that there will be no one in recent decades.

Although football will develop, the role of stars in the future may become less and less, and the positions of players will become more blurred. For now, there is already this trend.

Facing the overwhelming reports and congratulations, Lin Dong was very indifferent, but anyone who is familiar with Lin Dong knows how happy this sullen guy is.

But while he was happy, Lin Dong didn't get carried away, because the European champions came again, and this round Atletico Madrid didn't have the huge advantage of the last round. Although Atletico Madrid had two away goals, according to the strength of Juventus, they were not incapable of returning two goals to Atletico Madrid in Calderon.

And compared to the disorganized lineup in the previous game, the Juventus lineup is absolutely complete in the next game. Pogba has recovered and even played in the previous league.

"The game has been played so far, there is no team that does not want to enter the finals, and does not want to compete for the final championship." Facing the media, Allegri issued a battle horn.

"The goal? Of course it is the final victory." Pogba's attention is now the highest in Serie A. In addition to Pogba's own performance, Raiola also contributed.

So in this game, Raiola also came to Madrid. Lin Dong and Pogba have become the most watched players under Raiola's account, and Raiola will naturally come to support.

Of course, in addition to support, Raiola also needs to discuss the transfer with Lin Dong. To be honest, Lin Dong's transfer is currently the most concerned thing for Raiola. He has been waiting for this day for a full year.

"As long as we play what we want, then I believe we can enter the final again." Simeone is not to be outdone.

In addition to Simeone, Atletico Madrid players also expressed their confidence in the victory of this game. The second round of the semi-finals and the final will follow. At this time, there is nothing to hide.

The Calderon Stadium is not only full of seats, but there are no less than [-] people outside the stadium. You must know that this is the second-to-last home stadium of the Calderon Stadium this season, and it is also the last home stadium of the Champions League this season.

When it comes to home and away games, Atletico Madrid is full of resentment towards the Spanish Football Association from the chairman to the fans, because Atletico Madrid is not at the Calderon Stadium for the last game of the season.

At the end of last season, they won the championship trophy in an away game. Unexpectedly, this season is an away game. Atletico Madrid’s last opponent this season is Granada. Although Granada is a beautiful city, for Atletico Madrid, it is no more beautiful than Calderon, let alone this is the last season of the Calderon Stadium.

"One more win, as long as we win this game again, guys, we have successfully defended the league title, and the Copa del Rey has already reached the final. Now, we have only Juventus and the Champions League left in front of us." Simeone's tone revealed an uncontrollable excitement.

"I know, this will not be an easy game, so we must be calm, because this is too important to us, the more important we are, the more we need to be calm, only in this way can we get the results we want." There was uncontrollable excitement in the first second, and it became extremely calm in the second.

But for players, this is actually a normal thing, because Simeone's words are simple and clear. Of course, it is not an easy thing to do, but most Atletico Madrid players have experienced winning the championship last season.
