25. Chapter XXV

25. The president's mood is as angry as finding out that his girlfriend is having an affair with another man

In the 13th round of the league, two weeks after the last goal, Leo returned to Madrid with Granada. This time they will take on the Sheets team Atletico Madrid away at the Calderón Stadium, which has a capacity of nearly 60,000 fans.

10 Spanish Serie A titles, 10 Spanish Copa del Rey titles, 4 Spanish Super Cups; 2 Champions League runners-up, 2 Europa Leagues, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 1 Club World Cup......

It is the third-best team in the history of any Spanish football club, ranking behind rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona in terms of titles, season ticket holders and total revenue.

Before the start of the 2015-2016 season, Transfermarkt estimated that Atletico Madrid's entire squad was worth 360 million euros. But in fact, the most valuable French striker in the first team, Griezmann, is only worth 45 million euros. Atletico never spend money on superstars, but they never hesitate to sell them. Their ability to create god-level strikers is unparalleled, and they always sell their leading players at sky-high prices when they are questioned by fans about their combat effectiveness and their combat effectiveness is sharply reduced, and another god peak is born.

Head coach Simeone is known as the spiritual mentor of Atletico Madrid, and in his team, the "spiritual victory method" is not a pejorative term. In fact, Atletico's tenacious fighting spirit has created miracles on more than one occasion, and this super team spirit has also become the basis of Atletico's cohesion.

All in all, this is a difficult bone to gnaw on as hard as Real Madrid and Barcelona. Barcelona Real Madrid can still win with a stubborn will, while Atletico Madrid ...... Their willpower and cohesion are not inferior to any team.

As the two teams lined up in the tunnel to enter, Leo was tapped on the left shoulder, and the moment he turned around, he saw a red and white shadow flash by, hiding to his right. When I looked back, I saw Griezmann's handsome face of a crying fan, and he blinked like a child.

Leo had studied the video footage of Atletico Madrid's game before the game, and naturally knew that his French compatriot was a mischievous big boy. So he smiled in a friendly way.

The game was about to start, and the two of them simply said hello, cheered each other, and followed the team into the room.

Before the game, some people commented that the match between Atletico Madrid and Granada was a duel of wills, two teams that did not admit defeat collided together, although Atletico Madrid crushed Granada from fame and value, but the latter has been in the limelight in recent rounds, the team has shown extraordinary tenacity, and there are new demons, the son of Zizu to lead the front, this game will definitely be played tragically.

Of course, this game is also the first head-to-head confrontation between the two French strikers, and a fan on a well-known football forum joked: "I don't know if Zizou's son is better, or is Qizou's fan brother better?" ”

Although Griezmann once admitted that his idol was David Beckham, he is said to have been a ball boy at home when he was in the Real Sociedad Academy. Once in a match between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, he kept following Zidane to ask for the opponent's pants, and even chased Zizou to the players' tunnel. In the end, Zidane was so entangled by him that he had no choice, so he really took off his shorts and gave them to him, and then went back to the locker room in his underwear.

This rumor was later confirmed by Griezmann himself, who said: "That's a real treasure. ”

In fact, there are many similarities between Leo and Griezmann's experiences from childhood to adulthood, they were both born in France and grew up in Spain. Speaking Spanish, living in a country of passion, with a strong sense of football and a career that started here, he still has to play for France.

For Leo, the romantic country next to Spain was just a bunch of fragments in his mind, and he had never been there. And Griezmann even celebrated when he scored in a French shirt in Spanish.

Undoubtedly, Leo is more fortunate than Griezmann, because he is the son of Zizou, and Griezmann's career path is much more bumpy, in order to dream of leaving home at a young age, leaving his parents to work hard in a foreign country, he must pay more than others to achieve today's achievements.

Unexpectedly, the game was extraordinarily harmonious and friendly. Both sides used a 433 formation, and the attack was very intense and fluent, which was very ornamental. In the stands, both the Atletico Madrid fans at home and the fans who came from Granada away were very entertained.

The first to be scored was Leo as a striker, whose shot was confiscated by Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Oblak before the opponent was about to send the ball out of his hand. Leo kept in front of the opposing goalkeeper in order to delay time for his teammates to retreat, and was given a yellow card by the referee for deliberately obstructing the goalkeeper's serve because he did not retreat in time.

For the first yellow card in La Liga, Leo neither pleaded with the referee nor tried to explain anything, he just shook his head helplessly, a little annoyed by his impulsiveness and luck just now.

Pitty said with a smile on the side: "Everything has to be mastered to a degree, almost enough, and the referee will also earn a stand and close an eye." It's too much, it's definitely not going to work. It's all experience, and you'll know it over time. ”

Leo nodded, and distilled the point in his heart: this so-called "degree" probably refers to the referee's tolerance process.

I have to say that Leo is a smart kid, always has been.

The first goal was scored by Atletico Madrid, No. 6 Koke's corner kick was driven to the front of the penalty area, but Griezmann, who was not dominant in height, grabbed the first drop point, and hit the goal with a header in front of the goal line, and the ball went into the net from the upper right corner, and the score was 1-0, and Atletico Madrid temporarily took the lead.

Leo stood from a distance and watched Griezmann's celebration after his goal, exaggerated enough to make him feel inexplicably embarrassed, but so magical that he couldn't take his eyes off it.

He knew that the opponent had scored a goal and should not laugh when his side was behind, but he just couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

Just three minutes later, Leo received a pass from team-mate Al-Arabi in the box with his back to goal, two Atletico Madrid players behind him in close proximity, and then a creative turn before he shot with his feet, and goalkeeper Oblak didn't even react to how he turned and watched the ball fly into the net.

The score was rewritten to 1-1, and after the goal, Leo turned his head and met Griezmann's gaze, and the moment the two eyes met, they both saw the appreciation and provocation in each other's eyes.

The two sides returned to the same www.biquge.info and the game restarted.

Both teams invariably adopted the 433 formation today, and the tactics determined that the two sides were not conservative in their playing style, with a large number of troops in the midfield and attacking and defending very quickly. Atletico Madrid had a clear advantage in terms of time on the ball, with a 60 per cent possession rate. The speed of Leo on Granada's side gave the opponent's defense a headache, coupled with the tall Córdoba and the flexible Alabi, the three often played wonderful cooperation under the command of Leo to get rid of the defense and create scoring opportunities.

Two minutes before half-time, Granada's No.4 midfielder Franrike fouled Griezmann from outside the box, and Madrid won a free-kick not far from the arc. The ball was taken by No. 14 Gabi, but unfortunately the low flat ball could not go over the wall and was cleared by the defender's header. Leo accurately judged the landing point of the ball, and there was another Atletico Madrid player who fought for the ball with him, but the ball landed close to the sideline, and the opponent judged that the ball should fly out of the bottom line.

Dribbling, starting, accelerating...... Marseille maneuvered past the oncoming Atletico defender Gimenez, looked up to observe the goalkeeper's position in the shortest possible time, rubbed the ball with the outside of the penalty area with the outside of the instep in an incredible arc, the ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal, and the ball went in!

Leo scored twice to put Granada ahead just before half-time to make Atletico Madrid 2-2 Granada.

After the goal, Leo and his teammates went to the side of the stands occupied by the visiting fans to hear them cheer and shout their names and watch them wave their scarves. It's a pleasure, but it's also a sense of achievement.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Leo followed his teammates and rehydrated as he entered the tunnel. A tattooed arm was placed on his shoulder, and Griezmann's handsome face came next to him.

"Look at the camera and laugh."

Leo noticed that he was holding his phone in the hand in front of him, and the picture had been taken as he spoke.

"......" How big is this heart, and when the score is behind at halftime, he is still in the mood to take a selfie with his opponent?

Griezmann looked at the photo and was quite satisfied, so he asked, "Do you mind if I go to social networking sites?" ”

Leo shook his head and said he didn't mind.

Griezmann's teammate over there shouted: "Anthony, what are you rubbing?" He quickly put away his phone and ran to the locker room, halfway through the run, he turned back to Leo and said, "I will score in the second half." ”

Leo didn't have time to say a word during the whole process, so he put him on his shoulder, took a selfie with his head to head, and then lost a bold word before leaving......

Real Madrid's opponent in this round is away to Eibar Athletic in the town of Eibar, in the province of Guipuzquaa, and the game kicks off three hours ago and has now ended. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty in the 82nd minute to help the Galaxy win 2-0.

The president was in a good mood, so he packed up and returned to the hotel to watch the live broadcast of the little fans' game. The little guy had a good first half, both goals were beautiful, especially the second one, and the whole process was perfect.

At halftime, Ronaldo boredly took out his mobile phone to swipe INS, and then saw the group photo that was instantly forwarded by many people, and someone left a message below: "This combination is the face and strength of the future French team." ”

The president's mood was not good in an instant, and he felt as angry as if he found out that his girlfriend was having an affair with another man.
