In fact, the 19-year-old Pogba was given such an important position in the first round of the tournament that Simeone believed in him, and the Frenchman used the opportunity to show the world his strength and talent.

Relying on his height and a header assist, Atletico took the lead.

Simeone's surprise performance from the start to the opening kick-off was actually more impressive, and while his passing wasn't quite on par with the top grandmasters, the confidence he showed in possession was surprising enough.

Touching his chin with his right hand, Simeone was a little confused in excitement, how could Ding Yue be so sure that Pogba could kick out?

If only it was so awesome, it would save a lot of scouting wages in the future!

……

When walking back, Pogba looked at Ding Yue's back, a straight and resolute figure, before that, he didn't think that he would become teammates with a Chinese, and... Looks like it's half a core.

As an ambitious player, Pogba has his own belief that Atletico Madrid is just a springboard for him, that's for sure... But, now it seems, this team doesn't look bad.

I remembered when I first arrived, Espino, Madrid, the training base of Atletico Madrid.

Gabi pulled a few strange and familiar faces, looking for his other teammates, whom he wanted to introduce.

And that day, Pogba's first official Chelsea player, he had something to say.

He doesn't speak Spanish, but there are all gangs in Atletico Madrid, Spanish, Portuguese, English... Various faculties.

He has been practicing speaking a simple phrase. Actually, it's a Spanish hello.

Turan, Falcao, Thibaut Courtois and Ding Yue, these players last saw Pogba in the Marca newspaper, when it was rumored that Pogba was very likely to be cut off by Atletico, and then Pogba came.

"Hi..."

Pogba still remembers saying hello...

Everyone was expressionless.

Pogba is actually a very hilarious person, when he was at Manchester United, he was able to dance with his good friend Lin Jiade all day, but what's the matter?

After being stunned for a while, he found that Ding Yue walked straight in front of him and stretched out his right hand, "Hello!"

It was his first handshake in Espino, harvest....

……

……

The race continued, and Levante unleashed everything they could.

Striker Angel has been trying hard to drill into the box, but he has found that neither Miranda nor Godin is a good stubble.

Ding Yue can see clearly that every time he fights for the top, Godin will use 100% of his strength and be brave and fearless!

Born on 16 February 1986 in Rosario, Colonia, Uruguay, Diego Godin is an academy player for Defenders of Montevideo, Uruguay.

Godin only began his career in 2003, playing for Uruguay's Atlético Cerro and Uruguay National Football Club. In 2007, Diego Godin moved to La Liga Villarreal FC.

The year before, he moved to La Liga for 18 million euros to Atletico Madrid.

Ding Yue knew that he would shine under Simeone's hands... But when I actually played next to him, I realized how happy it was to have a fearless centre-back at the back.

Although at this time, Godin was still a little reckless.

In the fifteenth and twenty-third minutes, Godin committed two consecutive fouls in front of the penalty area, intercepted the opponent, and also gave the opponent two free kicks and claimed a yellow card.

Levante's free-kicks were poor in both cases.

Gabi stepped forward and told Godin to be careful with his movements.

But Ding Yue knew that every drop of blood in Godin's body was hot, and he wanted to cool down... Easier said than done.

The first half of the following period became a time period for the two sides to fight each other, and it was also Godin's performance time.

In just 45 minutes, as the backbone of the team's defense, Godin contributed three tackles, two interceptions and three clearances to contain Levante's dangerous attack. At the same time, Godin also has 32 passes and a high pass completion rate of 85..... while also appearing frequently in the attacking end. He contributed a corner duel and made a dangerous pass.

Judging from Levante's tactics at the end of the first half, Godin's steady play was the most crucial reason why Uruguay was able to keep a clean sheet against the opponent.

Especially in the last ten minutes, Levante adopted a very aggressive style of play and launched a very high-intensity pressing in the midfield, which made Atletico Madrid's midfielder or Pogba very uncomfortable, and frequently lost the ball in the midfield. Although the counterattack has Ding Yue, but with the home advantage and the running at all costs, Levante has several small men in the front court of the excellent running position, and the defense of Atletico Madrid is actually a little noisy.

But with Godin, Atletico Madrid's defense is safe.

Fifteen minutes into the break, Simeone tried to replace Pogba.

Angels and demons are like a tug-of-war, and Pogba is torn back and forth... When he's good, he's able to make scalpel-like passes... Anyway, in the first half, Pogba lost possession five times alone.

But Simeone still chose to believe in Pogba's angelic side.

Unexpectedly, this fulfilled Godin even more.

As a centre-back, Godin frequently came to the flanks to fill in for his pressing team-mates, especially Juanfran side.

Ding Yue took a closer look, in fact, Godin's defensive strategy is very simple, try to make physical contact but never foul, otherwise the person and the ball can only pass one.

It was Godin's frequent runs and fill-ins at the back that allowed Atletico Madrid's two full-backs to press the assist with ease, while Godin's header and body in the middle and his relentless movement put Levante's attacking line under pressure.

"Damn, Godin, this kid can really run"

In the 67th minute, a breakthrough by Ding Yue gave Atletico Madrid a chance for a corner kick.

Ding Yue leaned behind Turan and whispered as he looked at Godin, who quickly ran towards the Levante penalty area.

"I've seen him knock his head on the training ground and insist on getting the damn ball out of the fence before receiving treatment, getting rid of it, that's the hell training!"

Turan also has a lingering concern for the centre-back, and he certainly doesn't like this defender to pester him.

Felipe went to take this corner, he had this footwork.

Seeing Felipe start to raise his hand, Ding Yue quickly ran towards the outside of the big penalty area...

It was a corner tactic devised by Boggs.

If someone follows Ding Yue to the outside of the penalty area, then Ding Yue can be regarded as pulling away a defensive player, if not, then he is in a hurry to run outside the big penalty area, in case the ball flies in his direction, he can easily control the second landing point...

Godin didn't give Ding Yue a chance!

In fact, in the first half, when the free kick corner was attacking, Godin showed his presence!

This time, in the process of Ding Yue retreating, he witnessed Godin taking two steps forward under the attack of the opponent's two players, jumping hard, and shaking his head hard to attack the goal!

The ball smashed into Levante's goal like a cannonball.

Munua didn't react.

It's too close!

So close that he didn't even have time to raise his hand instinctively!

20！

All Atletico people are sure that they see the light of day!

Simeone, on the sidelines, turned and ran back to the coach's box, hugging everyone in celebration.

"Hold the grass! This ball is smashed too hard!"

Godin scored the ball and ran excitedly outside the penalty area, but was dragged by Gabi!

As a midfielder who immediately turned into a celebratory midfielder after scoring a goal, his teammate scored... The team wins, more than his own stats... Much more important.

Ding Yue also ran forward, put his hands on the shoulders of Falcao and Juanfran and joined the celebration army.
