"Rich or poor, we are always number one. ”

"Long live, Atletico Madrid!"

……

Amid the team anthem composed by the famous Spanish singer Joaquín Sabinha for Atletico Madrid's 100th birthday, Atletico Madrid fans across the city began their centenary* celebrations early on Saturday morning.

Having survived the nightmare of the dark trough and the grind of relegation, Atletico Madrid's fans have already shown the world their loyalty, and they are the most loyal fans in all of Spain, and indeed all of Europe.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Poseidon Square in the center of the city is crowded with people, and the celebratory procession begins here.

Without Real Madrid's high-profile and extravagance, without the glorification of superstars, and without the congratulations of political and business celebrities, Atletico Madrid's centenary* celebration pursued the team's usual civilians and pragmatism.

But that's not to say that clubs and fans don't care.

On the contrary, everyone showed their sincerity and celebrated the team's 100th birthday.

A flag 1,500 meters long and 8.5 meters wide, arguably the largest in the history of the world, was unfurled at 12 o'clock at noon in Poseidon Square, along Madrid's main north-south thoroughfare.

With a total area of 12,750 square meters, it is 750 square meters larger than the flag of the Argentine River Plate team that year, setting a new Guinness World Record.

What's more, the flag was hand-sewn by all the Atletico Madrid fans themselves, spending months and without even asking the club for the slightest help.

More than 30,000 fans carried the flag from Poseidon Square to Carlos V Square, to the Pyramid Square and finally to the Calderón Stadium.

Dressed in neat Atletico Madrid jerseys, they dyed every street they passed red and white, and they sang and danced and sang the Atletico Madrid anthem, attracting more and more fans along the way.

Outside the gates of the Calderón Stadium, a cauldron was set up temporarily, where chef fans have been busy since early in the morning.

They are preparing a huge paella with Madrid specialties for nearly 10,000 people.

This is yet another new Guinness World Record.

And when the parade circled most of Madrid and finally arrived at the Calderón stadium, the whole process was not the slightest chaos, everything went in an orderly manner, which reflected the quality of the Atletico Madrid fans.

Yes, Atletico Madrid fans are mostly from civilian and middle-class backgrounds, not as noble as Real Madrid fans, but when it comes to affection for the club, the Sheets Army is no slouch.

There was not enough money to advertise on major TV stations for a long time, as Real Madrid did, and Atletico Madrid could only broadcast a commercial on a small local TV station on the day of its 100th birthday.

No political and business celebrities, let alone the president of the United States, and even important government officials in Spain, no one came to participate in the centennial* celebration of Atletico Madrid, but Atletico Madrid fans did not feel inferior at all.

"We don't need these things for our affection for the club!"

"Even the dog I have at home is the same as me, and he is only loyal to Atletico Madrid in this life!"

…………

…………

Gao Han stood on the second floor of Calderón Stadium, looking at the crowd of celebrations outside, and his mood was easily infected by the fans, becoming excited and unable to calm down for a long time.

"What a hard, poor, respectable bunch of fans!"

Old Hill's voice rang out beside Gao Han, who stood beside Gao Han with the support of Little Hill and Cerezo.

"You know what? I'm scared all the time and I don't want to disappoint them, but if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd ......"

At the end of the day, Old Hill's voice was a little choked.

I don't know if it's because people are getting older, their bodies are getting worse and worse, and old Hill is getting more and more emotional.

But he soon grew strong again and exhaled heavily.

"I hope that, from today onwards, everyone at Atletico Madrid will be able to forget about me and everyone, because no one can represent Atletico Madrid, not me, not the players, only the team...... Yes. ”

Gao Han turned his head and looked at Old Hill with some surprise.

He knew that after today, Hill Sr. would completely step down from management and hand over the management of the team to Hill Jr. and Cerezo.

After two years of testing, the two have won the recognition and affirmation of the elder Hill.

What's more, they have found a path that belongs to Atletico Madrid.

The old Hill is right, since he took over the team in the eighties, the Hill family has become the symbol of Atletico Madrid, and everyone who mentions the Sheets Army will think of the old Hill and the Hill family for the first time.

It's like mentioning Inter Milan and you can't help but think of Moratti.

But it's not healthy, and the relegation of Atletico Madrid is the best proof of that!

Therefore, Hill Jr. and Cerezo are determined to de-label and downplay the influence of the Hill family on the club.

From now on, the symbol of Atletico Madrid will not be the Hill family, not any player, and not the manager Gao Han, but the team itself!

Gao Han knew in his heart that this was the best for Atletico Madrid, but his heart was a little lost.

But he is also someone who has been honing in European football for two or three years, and he quickly calmed down.

"Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely do my best to defend the spirit and dignity of Atletico Madrid, and I will not let anyone, any team, ruin today's great festival, I promise!"

Gao Han's commitment made both Hill and Serezo very satisfied and convinced.

Because in the past two years or so, all of Gao Han's promises have finally become a reality!

…………

…………

As the saying goes, there are unpredictable storms in the sky.

As night falls, the sky is drizzled.

But the atmosphere inside the Calderón Stadium was unaffected, and all the fans of the Bed Legion were as fanatical as ever.

Especially when the La Liga championship trophy was sent to the Calderón stadium, the atmosphere was even stronger to the extreme.

This is the practice in La Liga.

As long as Atletico Madrid can beat Real Madrid in tonight's game, they will be able to lift the trophy once again on their home turf.

But if they lose, the ceremony will be postponed to the next home stadium.

For all the Sheets fans who came to the scene, of course, they wanted to see the team win the trophy, and they even planned a fireworks show to celebrate the team's victory.

"It's Florentino. ”

Gao Han looked in the direction of Emery's right hand, and sure enough, he saw Florentino with the management of Real Madrid at the Calderón Stadium, and the Hill father and son, Cerezo and others were welcoming him, and the two sides seemed to have a good conversation.

This made Gao Han feel a little weird, everyone knew that the old Hill hated Real Madrid the most.

Florentino was there in person, and this should be regarded as the most important guest of the derby, because he is not only the president of Real Madrid, but also the president of the largest construction group in Spain and Europe.

In addition to the president of Real Madrid, the presidents of Rayo Vallecano and Getafe also appeared in the VIP table.

They are also Madrid's teams, and they also congratulated Atletico Madrid on their 100th birthday.

Although the atmosphere in the chairman's podium seemed to be harmonious, the atmosphere inside the stadium was becoming more and more tense.

Especially when the drizzle stopped, the two teams finished their pre-match warm-up and returned to the locker room, and there was a sense of slaughter over Calderón Stadium.

The showdown is about to begin!

Although Atletico Madrid has won nine games in a row against Real Madrid in the past two years, Real Madrid have also won all of them in the past few months, and their performances have been quite good.

What's more, this match means a lot for Atletico Madrid.

Last season, on Real Madrid's 100th birthday, they were defeated by Atletico Madrid on their home turf, and a very important reason was that the pressure on the players was too great.

Moreover, after this game, there will be two Champions League semi-finals right away, and if you lose, then ......

All the fans are starting to get nervous.

Feeling the atmosphere in the venue, the guests on the chairman's VIP table also became nervous.

"Florentino, how are you preparing?"

Florentino, who was talking to Butragno next to him, turned his head, saw the president of Getafe, and immediately nodded politely and smiled.

'I don't want to spoil the atmosphere of the celebration, but we're not going to be a foil and we all want to be able to continue the winning streak we've had over the last few months, which is very important for us. ”

This answer was very appropriate and was affirmed by many people.

"But, Florentino, Gao Han dared to announce the starting list in advance, he must be full of confidence, have you come up with any countermeasures?" asked Rayo Vallecano Chairman Teresa next to him.

Florentino still maintained his usual gentle smile and nodded: "We will continue to stick to our style of play, we all believe that Ronaldo will be able to score their goals." ”

The people around him once again affirmed.

Ronaldo has been in very good form of scoring lately, not only filling the void of central striker Morientes, but also further enhancing Real Madrid's forward threat, and the partnership with Raul, Zinedine Zidane and Figo has also made Real Madrid's attacking combination extravagant and unbeatable.

Such a superstar combination, as long as it plays its strength, can definitely break the goal of any team in the world.

Including Atletico Madrid!

Many of the guests around are football people from the surrounding areas of Madrid, or media practitioners, and they also heard the confidence of Real Madrid from Florentino's words, plus Florentino released cruel words before, if you can't beat Atletico Madrid, Bosque and Hierro have to leave.

With the weight and influence of the two in the dressing room, are you afraid that Real Madrid will not do their best?

Thinking of this, many people shook their heads and sighed again.

Gao Han is young in the end, and in such an important game, he actually announced the starting list in advance, isn't it a joke?

Asking Real Madrid to formulate a strategy in advance is definitely looking for death.

Is he playing with fire and setting himself on fire?

Or are you setting off smoke bombs and suddenly changing the starting lineup before the game? )
