Shyboyk:


Bros tico do more of attacking since last season their defensive pattern is old story but it’s not every team you would attack that was Simone game plan …take a look at Leeds them do calm down them no dae attack like before there are teams you attacked and teams you defend I b Chelsea fan o but I’ll tell you …you not fit attack man city any how this second leg sef if to say tico start their attacking from first half them for still chop am

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.

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.

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??

mvem:
City Stat shows they score more

Oga in the ucl so far,madrd has outscored them.

mvem:
no...they score more because the finish their chances better, more clinical in other words


And I check the stats Man City scores more goals than Madrid

That's why Madrid usually wins ucl and still win

Jazzman01:


But right now, it is the same coach. (Ancelotti) Even the Ronaldo you mentioned was caged throughout the game. It was only Di-maria that was a constant threat to the ATM defence.

And Di maria is there now?....Madrid that has played at least four goalless draw this season. Abeg rest jare

kilisi:


It seems you are still not getting it bro. They did not break any rule!

Let that sink in please. We all can't do things the same way.

and yet you avoided my question.

garfield1:


Oga in the ucl so far,madrd has outscored them.

but stats shows that City creates more big chances and pls you can easily go and check

mvem:

No one converts like Madrid.city will ccreate and miss,Madrid will create half chances a and score.see the diffwrence?

garfield1:


My brother,it is not about luck,it is efficiency.vinicius gave 2 assists for Benz against chelsea and you say he was running aimlessly? If city has the edge,why haven't they won ucl? Madrid style is not to outplay or dominate anybody or out pass you like EPL sides will do.they will simply bid their moment and finish off foolish clubs.Chelsea ran around childishly but a world class pass from modric humbled them.same. thing will happen to city

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!

Jazzman01:


Yeah, we beat them under Zidane but Ancelotti is in charge now. He seems to know how to get the best out of these players and also knows some tweaks. Chelsea made a mess of this team last season and if not for their wasteful finishing, they could have beaten Madrid by 5 or more goals. But now, even when they are not in full control, they still manage to ship in the goals out of nowhere. See their performance against a Star studded PSG and now Chelsea, I think it will be difficult to stop this Madrid side.

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:
didn't dsame liverpool beat ATM home and away dis UCL season?

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.

TechSpecialist:
and these season nkor when the two con meet for group stages, wetin happen? Oya talk am

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.

garfield1:


No one converts like Madrid.city will ccreate and miss,Madrid will create half chances a and score.see the diffwrence?

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!

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.

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.

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

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

Lol.. from the guy's analysis, it is evident that Mancity is not winning the champions league

CSNg:


If you had seen it, you wouldn't have believed.

My guy I told staked 10k an won 27k with a 2.7 odd. The guy is hitting his head on the wall about not staking the whole 400k he had in his bank account.

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.

Chelsea.

Inter did it also during Mouriho period.

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

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

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.

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.

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

You don’t expect Tico to come out during the first leg, assuming they did, man city will score more than one goal.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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??

Rhu4xce:


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.

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.
