Real Sociedad kicks off first.

Ding Yue squinted at the striker of Real Sociedad.

Perhaps, we will see you in Atletico in the future, young man.

That's right.

What Ding Yue saw was Anthony Griezmann.

Compared to Courtois, the Frenchman's football path is simply bumpy and moving.

Griezmann was born on March 21, 1991 in Mâcon, France, but he is of Portuguese descent, and Griezmann's mother, Isabel, is Portuguese.

Griezmann was introduced to football for the first time when he was six years old at his hometown club Sahnemakon Union. During his time at the club, Griezmann tried to try out with Ligue 1 giants such as Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain, but was rejected due to his size, although his maternal grandfather Amaro Lopez was a professional player and also played for Portugal's old side Ferreira, but it is clear that Griezmann did not inherit his grandfather's physique.

In 2004, Antoine Griezmann finally got his chance, and during a tournament in Paris, Scouts from Real Sociedad noticed Anthony Griezmann and offered him a two-week trial.

In 2005, a flawless performance in the trial allowed Griezmann to join Real Sociedad at the age of 14. When reading Griezmann's resume, Ding Yue felt a sense of familiarity... It was somewhat similar to his experience with Saint-Etienne.

Real Sociedad is located in the northeastern Spanish city of San Sebastian, just on the border with France, at that time, in order not to delay his studies, Griezmann also asked the team to train while studying, which Ding Yue could not compare... When he dropped out of school, he sometimes remembered certain moments in college, and he still missed it.

Griezmann, on the other hand, studied in France and trained in Spain, and his life was shuttled across the Spanish-French border, and it was not until 2009 that Griezmann officially began his career.

In a certain news in his previous life, Ding Yue knew that during the youth training of Real Sociedad, Griezmann often acted as a home caddy, and once after the match between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, he chased behind Zidane, wanting to get the jersey of his idol, but he was unsuccessful.

The unwilling little Griezmann grabbed Zidane, and after looking at him briefly, Zidane said: "Follow me, I'll give you shorts." So in the corridor leading to the dressing room, Zidane took off his shorts and gave them to him, and Griezmann said afterwards: "This is my greatest asset." ”

In this way, after a few years of experience, Griezmann became a young player who excelled.

As a person who has also come over with a trial, Ding Yue can pat his chest and guarantee that every minute and every second, every breath and every frame described to Griezmann in the news is as real as fake, and not a drop of water is mixed. Life is impermanent, the stadium is dead, how much jade is not cut into steel, and how much God's personal anger is carried, there is no way to measure, you only have two options, roll, or stand firm in the face!

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared and never give up.

In the 200910 season, before the start of the league season, due to a wave of injuries within Real Sociedad, the manager of Uruguayan Martin Lasat was unavailable, so Griezmann was called into the squad before the start of the season to prepare for the second division with the first team.

Since then, the slightly skinny looking French striker has been out of control. At the end of the season, Griezmann became the hero of Real Sociedad's victory over Elculles and Levante to win the La Liga championship and return to La Liga!

Last season, Antoine Griezmann scored seven goals in 35 appearances and became one of the key figures in Real Sociedad's relegation mission.

This season is a season for him to continue to grow, and it is also a season for him to enter the eyes of the world.

Ding Yue's eyes had some complicated taste.

It wasn't until the referee's whistle blew that his memories were interrupted.

……

……

In the past two years, Atletico Madrid has been unable to avoid the troubled stability of two words.

Since the last UEFA Cup triumph, the inconsistency has been like a loss to a friend who comes every season and you're afraid he won't come early enough.

In addition to the manager's irregular tactics and the unstable morale of the players. Injuries and the backbone of the team are also important factors in Cao Ying's heart and Han heart.

Fortunately, Simeone's first knife was to cut at the unstable factors and wanted to leave, such as Reyes.

It can be said that the people on the field now are all people who are willing to play for Atletico Madrid!

After the opening, according to Simeone's pre-match deployment, Atletico Madrid rushed forward, and the three lines closely maintained the formation of forcing the opponent.

Adrian and Ding Yue still play the role of-stirring sticks. Especially Adrian, he felt the pressure of Ding Yue, and there were bandits on the bench waiting for him to stumble. All he could do was complete the task given to him by Simeone until he cramped or was substituted.

For Simeone, although the tacit cooperation of the forward line makes it difficult for the team to score points by normal means in destroying the city, the solid defensive system... In his eyes, it must be the basis for the team to achieve a solid defense and strive for counter-attacking goals. For example, in the first game against Malaga, the 541 back five was easily opened, and the same can be done well while waiting for the opportunity to open up the situation when the opponent makes mistakes, and then it is easy to sit back and wait for the harvest of the counterattack, after all, there is still a supergod invincible Falcao.

Atletico fans, including Simeone, always knew that the Anoeta Stadium would be difficult to play, but they really didn't expect that the game would be so difficult on this rainy afternoon.

As if suddenly woken up by the rain, this tepid team this season played a counter-full-court rush at home as if it had been blessed by some mysterious force.

Unlike Atletico Madrid's full-court close physical confrontation, the style of Real Sociedad players is much more gentlemanly, but the three midfielders of Ellus Doton, Michael Aramburu, and Zurutusa created great pressure on the ball throughout Atletico Madrid's half. Less than 10 minutes into the game, Montanier's 'pressing trio' in midfield provided five of the team's six tackles, concentrating on the midfield area.

Simeone's trench coat was floating in the wind, the rain fell from the collar to his neck, and the wet shirt made him uncomfortable, but the situation on the field made him even more uncomfortable.

"Ing! Recover some! Talk to Adrian too! Let Diego hold the ball, protect the ball first, don't go blindly first!" Simeone called Ding Yue, who ran to his side, and admonished. Atletico have lost possession too quickly in recent times, which is not good for their own attack and defense, and it is not good news for the physical exertion of the players. Get the ball under control first!

Despite the rumour, Simeone's focus on defending was solid in the wind and rain, and it didn't give the opponent more threatening shots in positional battles. As long as it's not a counter-attacking push, Real Sociedad will struggle to even get a shot in the box in a positional battle.

After Ding Yue and Adrian retreated, they shared the pressure on Gabi, especially Diego, who had relatively weak defensive ability, to help defend the two ribs, thus allowing Atletico Madrid to get rid of the old problem at the beginning of the season at the end of the defensive end of the middle gap.

Even if Diego's running ability and coverage area are not as strong as Thiago's, it is enough to deal with Real Sociedad, who do not have an absolute attacking blasting point.

In the twenty-sixth minute, watching Griezmann hit the ball with his left and right feet between Gabi and Godin, and then passed through the gap between the two, and then Marseille maneuvered past Diego, Ding Yue couldn't help but applaud in his heart.

Diego opted for a pull move. Yellow card with a free kick from the edge of the box.

Ding Yue still didn't get the qualifications to line the wall.

Just at the distance of Griezmann's ** meter, Ding Yue watched him calmly set the ball, observed the goalkeeper, and kicked the goal.

The ball went just over the crossbar.

Griezmann covered his face with his hands, and then wiped the rain and sweat from his face fiercely. Then silently ran back to his place.

Silent, low-key, but a strength leaked from him.

Griezmann makes it feel like he can survive in any situation,

But Diego... Ding Yue could see that this former Brazilian genius was struggling. He's a guy who needs the ball, to be precise, he's a bit of a sticky guy.

Relative to his playmaking skills, his possession, attacking and sometimes decisive possession, and sometimes his long-range shots can be superb. But Ding Yue knows that if Simeone really builds a team with him as the core, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid's system to be established, because Atletico Madrid needs to defend solidly and press high to quickly counterattack, and Diego's sticky ball attributes determine that he cannot be a qualified playmaker, especially a playmaker in rapid counterattacks.

After the corner kick defense in the thirtieth minute of the game, Gabi got the ball and handed the ball to Diego in the middle for the first time, at this time, Atletico Madrid had a chance to counterattack, but the rhythm slowed down immediately after the ball reached his feet, Ding Yue felt that there was a feeling that he was slowing down the rhythm of the whole team by himself, and he didn't pass it when he shouted, and he felt that when this guy took the ball, he was a little immersed in his own world.

The first half was cut to pieces by mistakes and fouls by both teams, and the slippery field also limited Ding Yue's speed and Turan's breakthrough, and Falcao did not play much except for Ding Yue's diagonal shot at a 45-degree angle in the 40th minute.

Simeone scratched his head, a little irritated, and before the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, he walked to the players' tunnel.
