Simone, who has not yet been divorced, swore on his new girlfriend that he had no intention of turning the tables!
Like Mourinho's Chelsea, Atletico chose to surrender in the second round.

Except for Godin, Felipe, and Forlan who were suspended, Simeone, as the head coach, did not even leave Madrid!
He used his most practical actions to tell the world:

"I give in!"

UEFA also issued a formal penalty notice after three days of investigation:

“18. The 5 identified extreme fans will be banned from attending football events across Europe for five years.

20. Atletico Madrid will be fined [-] euros; tickets for the first three home European games next season will not be sold to home fans.

1. Head coach Simeone will be suspended for two additional games on top of the normal one-game suspension and fined 2 euros. "

For the injured party, UEFA also provided certain compensation.

It is impossible to lose money. They just handed over the hosting tasks of the 2014 European Super Cup and next season's Champions League final to the San Siro Stadium.

This is already their greatest compromise!
But Su Changwei raised objections:

“The San Siro is not Milan’s private property, and a large part of the revenue from hosting major events will be taken away by the Milan city government. It is better to find another way, learn from the successful experience of the Italian Super Cup, and put the European Super Cup in the vast Asian market! "

The Champions League finals need to be held in five-star stadiums recognized by UEFA, but the relatively less important European Super Cup can be held in a second-tier city in China!

It can not only promote the influence of European football around the world, but also allow UEFA, the Chinese market, and the organizer Su Group to reap tangible benefits!
In order to benefit Asian fans, Su Changwei also had to make some sacrifices.

For example, he promised UEFA: When the opponent has surrendered, stop killing them all!

So in the second round on April 4, Su Changwei only played for 30 minutes and was replaced at halftime!

Throughout the first half, he was drawn against Pazzini. Even though he faced the Atletico Madrid reserve team, he only scored 1 goal and his performance was very sluggish.

Fortunately, the performance of other teammates was normal. Pazzini opened the scoring, Kaka passed and shot, and even El Shaarawi, who came on as a substitute in the second half, caught Ambrosini's through ball and completed a shot from a small angle. Break the door!

AC Milan defeated Atletico Madrid 4 at home 0-[-]!

At the Allianz Arena in Munich, Bayern and Real Madrid started a fierce battle.

Guardiola, who suffered a small loss by one goal in the first round, was full of confidence after returning home.

Because in the history of the Champions League, Bayern has played 10 times against Real Madrid at home, with a total score of 9 wins, 1 draw, and no defeat!
And Guardiola himself has remained unbeaten in the past 14 Champions League home games!
With these two Buffs, Bayern players played confidently and openly. Even goalkeeper Neuer rushed out of the penalty area several times to participate in the team's offensive organization...

But starting from the 16th minute, the game was out of Guardiola's control.

Ramos scored two headers in just 4 minutes, confirming Real Madrid's huge advantage!
In the 34th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was fighting through injury, scored another goal, completely forcing Bayern into a desperate situation!

Guardiola made a rare substitution adjustment at halftime, and his choice was to replace forward Mandzukic with midfielder Martinez, and then pushed Muller to the front...

The unprotected Erba was directly exposed between Pepe and Ramos. He also lost the agile movement that he relied on for a living. He could only fight head-on with Real Madrid's defensive villains again and again... and he saw a long attack. To no avail, Guardiola, who was in a mess, replaced Muller and Ribery, and sent out Gotze and veteran Pizarro.

Bayern fans who saw no hope left the game early, and Ronaldo scored a direct free kick before the end of the game, locking the score at 4:0!

It was also 4:0, AC Milan could only be regarded as a small victory, and neither the fans nor the media were very satisfied.

Real Madrid hasn't finished playing yet, but the whole Madrid is already beating gongs and drums and celebrating!
They also have reason to celebrate!
Real Madrid is playing away from home, which is inherently more difficult, and their opponent is the prestigious Bundesliga hegemon, Europe's second-richest club, Bayern Munich!

At Bayern's Allianz Arena, they defeated former No. 4 football coach, Barcelona legend, and Real Madrid's old rival Guardiola 0:1. This is no better than AC Milan bullying the reserve team of a second-rate team without a head coach at their own home court... …more worthy of publicity?
What kind of team is Atletico Madrid? They were still hanging out in the second level a few years ago, and they have the nerve to compare with Bayern?

There is only one team in Madrid! -
"Are we going to host the European Super Cup?"

Boss Su, who was far away in China, didn’t sound very interested on the phone:
"You can't make much money from this!"

Today's Boss Su is no longer what he used to be. In just three years, he has gone from a debt-ridden family to a well-known new rich man in the province.

The Su Group under their family's name spans the major fields of clothing, medical care, hotels, catering, culture, sports, and real estate, and its total assets have officially entered the ten-digit mark!The unit of measurement is still US dollars!
——Of course, their loans in banks have also increased.If it goes bankrupt due to poor management due to unexpected circumstances, at least half of Suzhou will be shaken.

For them, the little income from hosting a football match is really just a drizzle.

Not only do we need to communicate with various departments to seek support three or four months in advance, but we also have to work hard to prepare a lot of preparations, including venue selection, marketing and publicity, sponsorship and investment, ticketing services, on-site security, traffic control, logistics support, revenue sharing... even The trade-offs involved in deciding who to give out free tickets to are enough to make someone lose a handful of hair!
But Boss Su quickly realized his mistake:

[I am already a well-known entrepreneur, why am I not as good as my son in terms of vision? 】

[Is hosting the European Super Cup to make money? 】

[This is to allow Chinese fans to experience top-level events at the nearest distance! 】

[We will do it even if we pay money! 】

[By the way, let me ask Boss Ma in Hangzhou if he is interested in doing this together? 】

After playing against Atletico Madrid, Allegri gave the players another day off.

On the one hand, this day is May 5st, International Labor Day. As players are also hard workers, it is reasonable to enjoy a holiday.

On the other hand, the 2013-2014 season has entered the final stage. Everyone has gone through an intense schedule for more than eight months. Injuries are very frequent in the Milan team and they really need to rest.

Even if the opponent in the next round is Inter Milan, Allegri is relieved to give everyone a holiday.

He should thank Simeone for not trying his best in the second round, otherwise there is a high probability that Milan will suffer a certain degree of injury...

Of course, even if Milan has won the championship ahead of schedule, Allegri will never underestimate the city derby.

On May 5th, he will be welcomed by Inter Milan while beating up his city rival! (End of chapter)
