The draw against Barcelona injected a shot in the arm for Atletico Madrid.

If the previous series of consecutive wins has brought Atletico a change of spirit, this draw has brought a boost to the team.

In the next Europa League quarter-final against Lazio, Simeone sent on a bench. Ding Yue got a rare opportunity to rotate.

Although Ding Yue shouted in his heart that labor and management are not tired, let me go, I'm okay! But Simone couldn't hear it. The back-to-back games made the starters too tiring, and Simeone had to think about the tough battles that followed.

1:0. With Salvio's left-footed blast in the 75th minute, Atletico Madrid eliminated Lazio without blood.

Simeone's start at Atletico was perfect.

And Ding Yue, about his regretful sigh and puzzlement about choosing Atletico Madrid instead of Dort, finally had a taste of silence.

You know, this season, Dortmund under the leadership of Klopp is still setting off their youth storm on the European continent.

Germany has a long-standing reputation for nurturing young people. Both in terms of the stats and the performance of young players on the pitch, Germany has always achieved excellent results in developing young people. This season, 65 players aged 21 or under have made at least 10 appearances in the Bundesliga. That's almost double that of the Premier League and La Liga.

"It's about the chances of the young players playing," said agents who want to bring young players to Germany.

'In Germany, they try to give young players more opportunities to play for the first team,' said Emarsson. 'They will first consider homegrown players and try to select youngsters from local sources to enter the team's Academy. If not enough, they will pick good seedlings from the whole of Germany or from German-speaking countries. But if that's not enough, they'll also look abroad. This is the general direction of German football. ”

In recent years, in addition to Ligue 1, Emarsson's other major task has been to select talented young players from England and the Netherlands for the Bundesliga teams. In Emarson's eyes, the chairmen of the Bundesliga know that the Premier League is far more financially powerful than the Bundesliga, so the Premier League teams will not give too many opportunities to young people because the pressure on the Premier League manager is too great. In that case, it would be a good and perhaps a last resort for England's young players to go out.

However, with the arrival of Simeone, Ding Yue's outstanding performance buried those doubts.

Even Emarson gave Ding Yue a thumbs up after watching the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the last game, "Yes, you are one of the few players I have seen who has a better eye than his agent." ”

I believe that you are evil, Ding Yue smiled and said nothing.

Emarson is very satisfied with himself and Ding Yue, and if this continues, he really has to have a superstar under him.

More importantly, it is the market from China.

In recent years, with the rise of the country's economy, many European agents have also set their sights on the Chinese Football League, and a gold mine is in front of them, and no one is drooling.

Holding the biggest pearl of Chinese football in his hand, if Emalson can't seize this opportunity, then he will go home and farm.

But the problem is that Ding Yue is also a wild man - a person who directly comes out of an amateur league that can't rush out of the amateur league, and has no connections in the domestic football circle.

So Emarson came with hope and returned disappointed. Fortunately, Ding Yue left a promise, and if he had the opportunity, he would introduce a few people, so he left Madrid with a smile.

……

On Thursday, the weekend's start was already on Simeone's mind. But habitually, he still has to discuss with Boggs, which is a safe approach, and a person's thinking will always have limitations.

"Salvio scored a good goal. Simeone poured himself a cup of strong tea, raised his glass and asked Boggs, "Have a drink?"

Boggs refused.

'A young player may be in the first team soon, but he has to show his ambition to the team. Boggs sat down, "I don't think Salvio's determination is enough. ”

"Oh?"

'It's not really a difficult process because everybody has a lot of enthusiasm at the beginning and the youngsters want to play every weekend. Pulling out a pack of cigarettes and lighting one, Boggs continued, "But they need to know that they didn't come here to become superstars anytime soon. They have to want to win the next game, and then the thought in their head is – I want to grow like these guys around me. Instead of complaining. ”

Simeone nodded, and Salvio and Adrian grumbled. There were some ideas in his head, he had heard about them, but if someone rises, someone must step aside.

Do you want to get your position back? Yes, you can take out the pen Ding Yue to perform better! But, as far as it stands, neither of them can do it.

"Don't bother, Boggs, we didn't make a mistake! If these two people feel that they have buried their own skills at Atletico, then they can walk up to me, look me in the eye and tell me directly, I will let them make what they think is the best choice!"

Simeone's reaction was as expected by Boggs.

It can be seen from the game with Barcelona that Barcelona's offensive imagination is full of imagination, just look at the second half, Pedro's crossbar, Xavi's shot is missed, Simeone sends a message to Boggs in the stands, and Atletico Madrid, who is one person behind, just use the trick of "everyone takes the ball and passes it to Ding Yue", and finally, equalizes in stoppage time.

Sometimes luck is also a strange thing, Ding Yue has this fate, at least this season, Adrian and Salvio are afraid that they will be under Ding Yue.

"So our starting lineup doesn't change?"

"Miranda and Godin, if they have good chemistry in the next game, I'm going to use them next season. ”

Boggs thought for a long time, and finally nodded. The doubt is on Miranda, but there is no better candidate, and it is more realistic that in the summer transfer window, there will certainly not be a lot of transfer funds, and it will definitely not be possible to spend on a central defender at that time.

……

……

At the pre-match press conference, I wonder if Simeone felt that it was necessary for him to start laying the foundation for his star-making plan.

When answering a question from a Chinese reporter, he replied like this - Ding Yue has shown a phenomenal level in the past period, and he is a gift from God to Atletico Madrid. Atletico have had a lot of great players, Hugo Sanchez, Rivera, Vieri, Torres, Sergio Aguero, etc., and I think Ding Yuewan can be such a player.

It's high again/high tide.
