Shyboyk:See, mancity was the favourite we all know. Wen atletico went to Manchester, their approach was wrong, dey started defending from the first minutes, who does dat?? If i am to be a coach i wouldn't want to sit back and start packing an imaginary bus wen i stil have a 50/50 chance against my opponent. Do u know that every team has the tendency to crumble under immense pressure?? Wen Villarreal put pressure on bayern in spain a week ago bayern got confused, they couldn't play their A game, even mancity of a team, even Madrid. Wen u put a certain team under pressure they will collapse, well after some minutes into the game they might start getting their feet back but initially dey wil collapse What am saying is that they should have approached the match in the first leg like a winning team, they should have taken the game to mancity, sitting back would always give u away in any match, how long would u defend?? How long?? For 180mins and be hope for an undeserved miracle?? Ok ooh Next season let him come with his dogged approach again, na house straight. Since i have bn watching football game, its only attacking team that has bn winning the championship, even the 2012 cheasea were always seen attacking frequently |

OlawaleBammie: You don’t know anything about football. You be small pikin. Assuming Tico come out against man city in the first leg. The score line would have been worst. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by OlawaleBammie: 10:38am On Apr 14, 2022 |
amamahdaniel:well, if u say a be small pikin and doesn't know anything about football i gree sir This year makes it my 16th year of watching football rigorously This year makes it my 12th year of supporting my team, real Madrid, so basically i have more knowledge about football than u think sir. Wen u start managing a football team, den keep playing a defensive approach of parking the bus even wen away goal rule is abolished. And if i may ask, since u have bn watching football 44years ago, how many tyms have u seen a defensive minded team win a multiple trophies multiple times?? |

garfield1:You are very funny; and your analysis is funnier! Vinicius only had an edge when he had no one in his front. Even though vinicius had a tree in his front, he would probably be stopped by it judging from his poor dribbling skills exhibited against Chelsea. The only saving grace he had was, he had no one in his front when he made those runs; the reason he settled down to pass the ball for an assist. You have a very low knowledge of football dynamics and tactics for you to say Madrid were bidding their time. What the acclaimed bidding of time did in the absence of Ronaldo? They were knocked out dishonourably for more than two seasons. They also had a tough times topping their groups. Yet you rely on such unstable, and arbitrarily lucky team like Madrid? Madrid's times of threat and glory were in the past in Ronaldo's period. the earlier you realise that Madrid rely on arbitrary luck and foolish errors of their opponents to win games; the better for your health, especially your mental capacity! Shalom! |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by StAmbrose1(m): 2:15pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
Jazzman01:It is not difficult to stop Madrid. It is just pure luck. And also the unavoidable errors their opponents made. Against psg, their keeper and Captain made stupid errors. Against Chelsea, Kante and Mendy their keeper also made avoidable errors. Without those avoidable errors, Madrid can't go anywhere. City has the edge in all areas of reasons, and tactics! And for a boost, Ruben Diaz has come back from injury. He featured in the lineup in substitution against ATM which is a show of full fitness. The duo of Diaz with stones are more too formidable for only benz to handle. They are both tall, tough, rugged and in form. And to add, Walker is too skilled both physically and mentally for a glorified vini to outperform. Even more skilled neymar, hazard and mbape couldn't even break or outsmart him. Chelsea already lost form before they met Madrid (if not, the relegation-bound Brentford wouldn't have scored 4 goals against them. And Mendy's form already took a sharp bend.) You can see the big luck worked in their favour. But then again, City's sublime and superb performance is too much for Madrid. The two ties would obviously end in City's favour! |

Wordson:The kind determination and aggression wey dey group stage cant be compared to Knockout. You all know this but will keep looking away. 2010 season. Barca defeated Inter in the group, only to get whooped by same team at semi-final stage. What Athletico played against Man city will give any top team in the world problem and this was what dey did to Liverpool in 2020 when they won 1-0 first leg with a goal in the first 10mins and defended like Hoodlums. 2nd leg followed same pattern until dey snatch a goal and forced extra time before eventually winning 3-2 in the second leg and 4-2 aggregate. It is easier for a team like Dortmund, Liepzig, Roma, Napoli, Arsenal, Tottenham to defeat Atletico. But when dey meet the top guns, they lock shop and frustrate the players and their coach. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by Beedude(m): 2:20pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
TechSpecialist:Group stage is Quiet different from Knockout. In the group, u can lose and still qualify. Your progress doesnt depend on just a tie. In Knockout , there is no margin for error. They knocked Liverpool out in 2020 winning home and away. Liverpool is yet to knock them out since then. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by StAmbrose1(m): 2:21pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
garfield1:That is the luck I have been harping upon. But such just ran out like a horrified housewife running away from his husband unbearable shenanigans. For the records, City has more chances created, and better performance. City or Liverpool for the title. As a United fan, it is better our noisy neighbor win it because they have earned it! |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by StAmbrose1(m): 2:26pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
Beedude:Liverpool's win over them led them to meet undiseirable opponents. And the second leg was won by Liverpool before extra time. And most stakeholders of football agree as Liverpool as the winner of the second tie. Liverpool won them with more goals scored. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by StAmbrose1(m): 2:36pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
mvem:He is just a glorified Spanish team supporter who most likely began his support in Messi and Ronaldo era. And he has a mistaken and errorneous thinking that Madrid has a formula for winning the UCL despite the reverse is the case. Madrid have poor performance. In the knockout stages, their opponents outperformed them. Even PSG - which is in the true sense and by their previous matches is an average team - were defeated narrowly by them; no thanks to Marquinhos' and donnarumma's foolish errors. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by Beedude(m): 2:59pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
StAmbrose1:The undesirable opponents was Manchester United in the round of 16 not Man City. How do u explain that @ Anfield Livepool were winning 2-1 into extra time and lost 2-3 after extra minutes. A come back in 30 mins on an away ground like Anfield should be applauded. Atletico is no push over for any EPL team |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by garfield1: 3:05pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
StAmbrose1: What rubbish.cast your mind back to benzema first goal against chelsea at London where he outfoxed James and Christiansen to cross for Benz? City will create,Madrid will knock them out.Madrid is the greatest club,la liga is superior to eepl |

CSNg: I may not have believed but i was sure to stake on that. The fact that you predicted this one right does not make u a guru. You can prove me wrong since u sound so sure of yourself. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by amamahdaniel(m): 2:51pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
OlawaleBammie: Chelsea. Inter did it also during Mouriho period. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by OlawaleBammie: 3:02pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
amamahdaniel: Lol, chelsea in 2012, well it cant be argued that much, but into of 2010 was not totally defensive against all opponent. Against Chelsea in the round of 16, they played all out, beaten Chelsea home and away, home game against barca in the semis was offensive, it was in the second leg that dey were defending their 3:1 lead. In the final against bayern, the game was almost equal, even thou bayern were good in possession football. And apart from the two u mentioned, how many teams out of all the teams in this world, and all the laurels dey compete for have u seen make it big with wen it comes to silverware |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by amamahdaniel(m): 7:08pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
OlawaleBammie: Why are you talking like this? There are some teams you play that you can only survive through defending and canter attacking. We all know this is altletico pattern of play, I don’t know why you are arguing. At least altletico win league and they have been in the final twice recently. You don’t expect Tico to come out during the first leg, assuming they did, man city will score more than one goal. Football is all luck, you can use any pattern to win your game, have your forget how Chelsea play 9 defender and one midfielder against Barca 2012, they win and later win the tournament. Not all team can go to Man city home and come out with full force, the team will suffer it. You can compare this Tico with Liverpool or Chelsea |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by OlawaleBammie: 7:59pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
amamahdaniel:Sure, but tico go defensive in every important matches they are involved in and that is the sign of fear(Ukraine/Russia comes to mind) wen u re always at the defensive den u re mostly billed to be at the loosing side, some cases are exceptions sha. Yes, dey won the league but remember dey didnt play their usual against the smaller teams(but not against the bigger guns), so its easy to win league with that approach than winning a tournament What if dey had come and and won?? Who expected wat dey played in the second half?? But wen pepper touch their nyash dey had to buckle up and pulled the unexpected against all odds this case is a case of once in 20th times, it doesn't come regularly. Since the scenario of 2012, how many defensive team have won the champions or europa League?? None, that tells u a lot Yes that is d issue, we cant compare dem cus they have failed to unleashed their potential. Wen u want to dine with the big guns den u have to load ur cartridge to the required level Truly not all teams can go to city and come out but wait and read this from me. In a knockout stage where away goals are abolished, liverpool, Manchester, Ac milan, inter Milan, Barcelona, bayern, Dortmund, madrid, sevilla, juventus, lyon, Chelsea et al would never go there with the defensive approach wen dey have never even scored a goal or two. If i should become a coach today i would always set my troops(players) out against the opponent as if i am on two goals deficit, my msg to the players wil be straight and clear, "play ur opponent as if u have a two goal dedicit to overturn. In life, wen u are always at the defensive den u have more to loose than to gain, even as humans, wen u re the bully ur presence would always intimidate ur minors but wen u are the suppressed den u re expected to freeze at the hearing of ur oppressor,that is how life is wired. But if u want to break the circuit den u habe to rise up to the occasion, challenge ur oppressor eye to eye, by den he also will have little fear for u even if its not much but at least the respect would be there. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by amamahdaniel(m): 11:32pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
OlawaleBammie: You are on point but you ruin it by using Ukraine and Russian war as a case sturdy. Please tell me how Ukrain will go on and attack Russia, is that not suicidal? You think assuming Ukraine is attacking, there won’t be any fly in Ukraine talk more of human in Ukraine by now, the best they can do is to defend: There are some people that are bigger than you. There is nothing you can do about it. Please don’t compare Russia/Ukraine war to football, even USA is kind is scared of Russia. Is that the nation you want small Ukraine to attack. |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by OlawaleBammie: 4:56am On Apr 16, 2022 |
amamahdaniel:Ok, this is another turn. Even as Ukraine is not going forward their cities are already destroyed, women and children maim and raped, civilians are being killed, so what remains again?? Before u know it now, major cities are captured and by den u wouldn't know the essence of dem bn defensive. Their major generals would now be saying within themselves that "maybe" if dey have even go offensive, who knows there might not be much destructions and casualties.. If well, let remove the issue of Ukraine/Russia, sebi every other points i raised and cited were valid to a certain point abi?? |
Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Manchester City UCL (0 - 0) On 13th April 2022 by CSNg: 2:51pm On Apr 16, 2022 |
Rhu4xce: When it comes to Athletico Madrid, I know them too well. They hardly score and hardly allow their opponents to score during the course of a match but close to stoppage time, they end up walloping the opponent with a lone goal. They do this 80% of the time in their local matches and about 98% of the time in champion league matches. |
