Chapter 84 Good Evening La Pennetta
There is no doubt that the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup has caught the attention of many fans around the world.
This is not only a heavyweight battle in Spain, but also a focus of football fans in many European countries.
The cup winners of the five major leagues and the challenge for the league title are the highlight of the early season appetizer!
And with the different levels of fans' attention to a certain national league, the broadcast scope and intensity of this Super Cup match will also be different.
In the special media box prepared for broadcast TV commentators from all over the world at the La Pennetta Stadium, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Arabic, Turkish, Russian, Chinese and other languages have been heard.
"In fact, in recent years, every time Atletico Madrid plays Real Madrid, they can play very well. Although Atletico Madrid is not as flashy as Real Madrid and Barcelona in their style of play, it is pleasing to the eye. But they also often score amazing goals that will surprise you. It can be said that this team is more pragmatic, but with them, the game will definitely play very exciting. ”
In order to show the importance of this game, China's European Sports TV specially sent commentators to the scene to explain the Spanish Super Cup match. And this time, the commentators sent by Eurosport will not just go to Madrid, Spain to bring a game commentary to the fans. They will follow this year's Super Cup from start to finish, from the home and away legs, to pre-match and post-match interviews, to the highlights of the first and second legs.
This is not surprising, since CCTV has focused its attention on Italy, of course, other professional TV channels in sports cannot just follow CCTV Sports, producing most of the repetitive programs.
Spain's football competitions are already on par with Italy in terms of popularity, and Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are both very strong teams. Not to mention...... Raywing, who helped his club win the league title in his first year in Europe, has landed in La Liga this summer!!
Real Madrid may not necessarily understand how strong this player, who has just turned 18 years old and has a six-centimeter difference in the length of his left and right legs, but Atletico Madrid, who bought the Asian rookie at the expense of 16 million euros, must know it, and the Chinese fans who are watching this game at this moment must also know it very well.
Now, there are a lot of fans with a faint expectation.
They are expecting Raywing to make his La Liga debut in this heavyweight match.
And there are many people who are looking forward to the Spanish golden boy Javier will also be able to complete his debut at Real Madrid in this game, and complete this wonderful battle of "debut against the old master".
As the minutes ticked by, the score on the field did not change.
But that doesn't mean the time that has passed has been boring.
On the contrary, it's wonderful!!
Even after being poached in the summer transfer window, Atletico Madrid played tenaciously for 45 minutes in the first half. Despite Real Madrid's strong attack and the many sharp blades that belong to Real Madrid, they are always trying to tear down the Atletico Madrid back, which has the home advantage in this game.
However, Atletico's defensive speed and the speed of their defensive formation are quite fast, and their midfield is strong enough that there is no possibility that Real Madrid will be able to penetrate them with just a few surprise attacks.
And Real Madrid's forward line is trying to break through, and Atletico Madrid's offensive line is also doing its best to threaten Real Madrid's goal.
It's a veritable battle of the same city derby.
No one side has an absolute advantage.
Neither side has a clear disadvantage.
The cheers of the home fans for Atletico Madrid never stopped, and their singing continued to motivate, reminding the eleven Atletico players on the pitch that every minute and every second must not forget to defeat that formidable opponent!! They can beat that opponent!!
Facing the marking of several top Spanish defenders in the Real Madrid team, Yolandal, wearing Atletico Madrid's No. 9 shirt, attacked Real Madrid's penalty area again and again. He was not timid, and in such an atmosphere, he couldn't help but be inspired to be stronger than ever. Unfortunately, his ability to take chances and his ability to take the ball was not as good as his former club team-mate Javier.
Yolandar failed to break the goal on several occasions.
Enzo's through ball to the striker* was also intercepted by Real Madrid's Danish defender Grish Greenshard.
Real Madrid's Dutch duo showed their quality in this game, and even had a shot on target each, but unfortunately, his shot was saved by the Atletico goalkeeper. And in the corner kick tactics, Real Madrid, which has an overwhelming air advantage, still missed the opportunity.
Until the end of the first half, the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup was still 0:0.
None of them defeated anyone.
Perhaps any manager of a La Liga team will understand it when the game gets to this point...... It's time to do something.
What do they need to change the game's overly dull scoreline?
And they also need to do something to make the fans who come to watch the game in any way feel satisfied enough, enough hearty.
They need to keep in mind that this is a contest between two La Liga teams!
For them, it's more important than winning the game...... It is to contribute one game after another to the fans as much as possible, enough to be exciting!!
After the fifteen-minute break, Atletico Madrid's home stadium, La Pennetta, resounded with shrill boos, first from the area close to the players' tunnel. Then, the boos spread throughout the stadium, and almost every Atletico Madrid fan present gave a strong sense of malice and anger in that direction.
Guess what happened?
The boy who had just said "halamadrid" at the Santiago Bernabeu the other day, the same boy who wore the number 10 shirt of Atletico last season.
He appeared on the sidelines in Real Madrid's white number 23 shirt.
The boy is only 21 years old this year, and when he was still playing for Atletico, he was already showing his age-appropriate calmness and sanity to the fans on the field. And until this moment, if those who are familiar with him can see his expression clearly at this moment, you will find ...... He seemed to have grown a lot overnight.
As early as the moment he was here before the start of the second half, he had already anticipated what kind of "home courtesy" the fans who had done so hard to cheer him on him would have. That should be more intense than any derby team.
At this moment, you can't find any weakness of heart on his face.
You'd be hard-pressed to find any emotion on his face.
Real Madrid's manager was talking to the staff on the sidelines, and then the staff held up a light box to indicate the change of players on the field, and the number 23 meant that Real Madrid were about to replace their number 23.
This is a Spaniard, who is the winner of the last European Golden Boy Award, also known as the Spanish Golden Boy.
He has been fighting for Atletico Madrid for the past few years.
And from today on, he starts fighting for Real Madrid.
"Ahh It's Javier!! Real Madrid are going to bring on Javier at the start of the second half!! As you can imagine, such a debut for a player who wore the number 10 shirt until the end of last season, such a debut was really stressful. Probably anyone who has not stood in his position can't imagine what kind of pressure he is under now!! ”
Atletico Madrid's new signing Garrincha has yet to make his debut at La Pennetta, and Javier, wearing Real Madrid's white number 23 shirt, has already made his debut for Real Madrid in a stadium that he is all too familiar with!!
Although Xavier is still a new signing who has only been at Real Madrid for many days, he has played Real Madrid several times a season in the past few years, and he knows Real Madrid well and has spent a lot of time studying him. It is precisely because of this that the Spanish golden boy was already very familiar with the tactical system of this giant club before moving to Real Madrid.
This allowed him to adapt to this new team without difficulty and integrate into the Blancos.
Under the pressure never before, he began to play with his new team-mates and attack the goal that his former club team-mates were guarding......
When he saw this scene, Lei Yi could hardly restrain his eagerness, nor could he hide the football factor beating in his blood at the moment.
"Xavier knows a lot about Atletico's defensive system!! He also understands Atletico Madrid's manager Alberto's mind better than any of the Real Madrid players on the pitch!! Exactly because of this! Attacks that he is involved in can become extra threatening!! We can feel it obviously! After Xavier came on, Real Madrid's attack on Atletico Madrid's penalty area became more deep!! ”
The shrill boos on the pitch never stopped, and every time Real Madrid attacked Atletico's defensive half-pitch, the Atletico home fans booed and ...... In every area that Javier passed, there was a terrible boo.
The live broadcasters at La Pennetta have paid plenty of attention to the former Atletico Madrid duo's striker. It seems that in this game, ?p >
The rush to talk about beating Vier allowed fans watching the live broadcast to see from time to time what the Spanish golden boy was doing >in his debut against his former boss for Real Madrid
"Fans and friends, in fact Xavier could have chosen not to play in this game. After all, coming to a new team on his debut against his old boss would put him under terrible pressure. Not to mention, it's still a Madrid derby!! However, Xavier still signed up with the manager after his Real Madrid fan meeting, saying that he was willing to play in this game!! He is willing to win the Spanish Super Cup for Real Madrid!! ”
At this point, it seems that commentators from all over the world are following the scene and their attention is on the Spanish golden boy Javier, telling the fans about the player's technical characteristics, his past achievements, what he and Enzo mean to Atletico Madrid, and what role such a player will play in the Real Madrid team.
Perhaps no one could have seen what Atletico boss Alberto said to his long legs sitting on the bench at this point in the 57th minute, which made Atletico's new signing Garrincha jerk to his feet and trot to the sidelines......
As Thunder Wing trotted to the sidelines, he set his eyes on the field and took a deep look before warming up.
Atletico Madrid's manager Alberto is finally ready to bring on Garrincha!!
But just as Lei Yi was making his final warm-up with his back to the court, he heard an extremely loud salute. In this area where the whole audience was caught in extreme frenzy, the salute was extremely loud, and even ...... It was deafening, and it made people feel a sudden shock all over their body. That made everyone's attention involuntarily be pulled away by the voice, including the players on the field.
Thunder Wing jerked his head to look at the field, normally ...... Only when the score on the field changes, will the fans of one side release such a salute. And the one who has just launched an offensive towards the other side's field is clearly Real Madrid!!
Really...... When Raywing turned his gaze in front of their Atletico goal...... He saw several Real Madrid players he didn't know hugging Xavier!!
The score on the field, Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid, 0:1.
It was Hendricus, one of the Dutch stars of Real Madrid, who completed the shot.
And the one who contributed the assist to this shot was Real Madrid's new signing for the season, Xavier.
The 73,000-seat Estadio de la Pennetta fell silent. The previous boos, shouts, and cheers all stopped. Atletico Madrid's home fans looked at the goal guarded by Atletico Madrid, and at the football that landed in the white net, chased by 20 men on the field......
And now it's only fifteen minutes since Xavier came on the pitch.
A number of Real Madrid players came to hug their new team-mate, but the Spanish golden boy, who only wore Real Madrid's number 23 shirt today, appeared extremely calm. There was no smile on his face, just a pat on the shoulder of the Real Madrid player who hugged him.
The Spanish golden boy's gaze swept over his former club teammate and captain Enzo, and the two met their eyes, but they never smiled at each other as before.
Xavier didn't celebrate the assist he had just provided.
And Enzo said in the dressing room of the training base on the eve of the final Europa League game.
When they become rivals and meet again on the pitch, he will not, and will not allow anyone else, to show affection to the Atletico Madrid academy when they go head-to-head.
After glancing at each other on the court, the two finally turned to leave.
And it was at this time that the staff on the sidelines signaled to the referee that Atletico Madrid would also use substitutions!!
The number 99 who was introduced because of Xavier's departure is the number 99, and the number 99 Garrincha, who scored four goals in the Europa League knockout round against Atletico Madrid last season!!
By the time Ray Wing came on the pitch, it was already 11 p.m. local time in Madrid, and the night had already fallen, and he was standing in the place where the elevated bright lights of the La Pennetta Stadium could illuminate, and the cameras in the stadium slowly passed behind him, allowing people to see the shirt number of the new Atletico Madrid signing in the bright sky.
Number 99.
He was replaced by a striker from Atletico Madrid, and his individual ability can also be said to be good.
But obviously...... Atletico Madrid's manager Alberto now believes that perhaps Raywing is the one who can help his team open things up.
The cameras at the scene gave Lei Yi's back a long shot, which allowed fans to see his distinctive legs.
A century later,
&nb
sp; Garrincha finally came to Spain.
