For this game, Dick did not use any cards, nor did he make any tactical changes, he just sent the main lineup used in the warm-up game, goalkeeper Molina, defenders Aguilera, Capdevilla, Thuram and Gamarra, midfielders Makelele, Belleron and Baraja in the middle, Vicente and Camoranesi on the wings, and Jardel in front. [No pop-ups. 】

Dick brought a large number of offensive players to the bench, Cruise and Torres both appeared on the bench, Dick did not set up any special tactics, just to see how competitive this lineup is.

Dick put Jadel in the starting line-up, and Deportivo also put the newly joined Tristan in the starting line-up - it seems that Iruetta's idea is similar to Dick's, such a game may not be particularly high, but it can be a more pure test of the ability of these two center forwards, to see if they can be entrusted with the next game.

Amid the cheers of 50,000 Atletico fans, players from both sides ran out of the tunnel, and then Dick appeared outside the stadium, causing another round of cheers from the stands.

Dick raised his hands to signal to the stands, he knew what the fans were thinking, and they hoped that Dick could change Atletico's previous decline and restore the glory of the 95-96 season!

Restore the glory from now on.

After greeting him, Dick walked over and shook hands with Iruetta, Iruetta looked at Dick with interest, Deportivo did not play against Dick's Atletico Madrid last season, but then Atletico Madrid's performance surprised the whole of Spain, and Iruetta naturally heard about it.

"Mr. Iruetta, I haven't thanked you yet." Dick whispered a chuckle as he shook hands with Iruetta.

"Thank me?" Iruetta was confused.

"If Deportivo hadn't won 4-1 against Atletico, maybe I wouldn't have had a chance to put out the fire." Dick laughed.

Irueta couldn't help but smile and shook her head, this young man is really sharp.

However, Dick didn't say anything nonsense like "I'm going to avenge Atletico Madrid" next, he still respected Iruetta, and after letting go of his hand, Dick returned to his position and waited for the game to start.

The first to kick off was the away team Deportivo La Coruna.

Tristan ran into Atletico Madrid's half, the 24-year-old homegrown goalscorer has been in the spring breeze recently, although he was not selected for the European Championship squad, but he moved to defending champion Deportivo La Coruna for a high price of 20 million US dollars, as long as he performs well next, then the new national team, there will definitely be a place for him.

Tristan has no regrets about rejecting Atletico Madrid, he has no interest in the League Cup at all, you must know that he also followed Mallorca to the quarterfinals of the League Cup last season, for him whose career is thriving, only the Champions Cup can satisfy him, and as a part of the defending champions, it will also help him a lot in his national team status.

As soon as he approached the edge of Atletico's penalty area, he was greeted by an equally strong figure – Tristan looked at the opposition and knew that the opponent was not an easy opponent to deal with.

Lilian? Thuram, if he was just an ordinary good defender before the 98 World Cup, then after the World Cup, he became a top defender thoroughly, as the first defender to completely prevent Ronaldo in the tournament, Thuram's defensive ability made all strikers feel jealous.

Even if Ronaldo was not in good form in the final, Thuram kept cutting off Ronaldo's ball with almost no help, which is a fact, and he actually stayed at Parmado for two years after the World Cup, which is a strange thing for everyone......

Tristan knows this is a very difficult opponent to play against, but Tristan has absolute confidence in himself and can score no matter what kind of opponent he faces!

Strikers, you only need to take one chance!

Thuram is close to Tristan, his height is a few centimeters worse than Tristan, but in terms of physique is not bad at all, Thuram's physical fitness is the envy of everyone, behind him is 1.86 meters, strong strength, excellent reflexes, flexible body...... He has everything to be a good defender.

Deportivo La Coruna attacked, a team that has always had a strong Brazilian flavor and is now at the heart of Brazilian phenom De Jaminha, but in midfield, he has a difficult opponent.

Makelele met him, and the two sides have not played each other a lot in the past two seasons, so De Jaminha knew that he couldn't be easily entangled, so he didn't choose to dribble the ball, but went straight to the wing.

Deportivo captain Forlan began to break through from the right side, and in the face of Capdevilla's defense, he made a one-two with Pablo, who inserted the assist, and immediately crossed after pulling out the gap!

Deportivo La Coruna has a double centre-forward, Tristan is strong and Pauletta is a strong striker, and with these two in the box, it is natural to need more crosses......

Tristan sprinted towards where the ball landed, Thuram followed closely, and Gamarra was also moving his body, keeping an eye on Pauletta's movement and preparing to make up for it.

During the run, Thuram and Tristan collided, and neither seemed to have any effect, and rushed straight to the point where the ball landed, Tristan arrived slightly early, and then he jumped up against the ball.

He knows Thuram won't let him head the ball easily, but his jump will definitely attract the attention of the two opposing centre-backs, and then he will only need to ferry Pauletta to it and it will be a good opportunity!

Tristan knows that when he comes to a new club, he first needs to show his versatility and role, even if he can't score goals by the opponent's key defense, it is also a good choice to help the team win!

Just as he had caught a glimpse of Pauletta, the ball didn't come to his head as he expected......

Thuram, who jumped slightly later than he expected, picked higher than he expected, and rubbed the ball with his bald head, and the ball changed direction and fell into the penalty area, Gamara caught up and cleared the ball with a header.

Makelele got the ball in front of De Jaminha, and then distributed it to Belleron, who responded next to him, Belleron made a slight transition, and then suddenly passed the ball to Jardel in the middle, and Atletico launched a counterattack!

Jadel used his body to protect the ball and waited for his teammates to come up, Baraja came up quickly, and after a quick follow-up, Jadel passed the ball back, and then Baraja passed the ball to Vicente on the left.

Deportivo right-back Pablo had just assisted and was quickly returning to the defense, but Vicente didn't give him such a chance, but began to show his speed!

As he began to sprint down the left, there was a huge cheer from the stands, and the Atletico fans were amazed by the young man's speed and began to rejoice at the player they had neglected.

It seems that this summer's transfer is still worth looking forward to!

As Vicente started the sprint on the flank, Dick in the dugout frowned.

"It's too fast......," Dick whispered.

Marriner, who was sitting next to him, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded clearly - indeed, Vicente is very fast, but Deportivo La Coruna's defense is not chaotic, he can't rush to the opponent's penalty area alone and shoot to score, even if he rushes to the bottom line, his teammates in the middle will not follow up so quickly, in this case, it is better to slow down than to sprint like this.

"It's still a matter of coordination, if Jadel could have distributed the ball to the left side immediately after protecting the ball, Vicente's speed could have been better, and at that time Deportivo Deportivo had not been able to organise the defense, maybe he would have been able to rely on his speed to form a single knife!" Dick thought to himself.

Sure enough, the attack ultimately failed, when Vicente rushed to the level of the big penalty line, he seemed a little difficult, the penalty area has been guarded by defenders, and the teammates in the middle have not followed up, at this time Vicente seems a little inexperienced, he hesitated, which made the back of the defense Pablo entangled him, in the end, although he still protected the ball and passed the ball into the penalty area, but the quality of the cross was not high, resulting in Jardel's header failed to top the power, It was easily confiscated by the opposing goalkeeper Songo.

"No problem, let's do it again!" Dick slapped and shouted off the field, now Atletico Madrid's problem is mainly that the attackers are all new players, and the players in the midfield are not tacit enough, the six people in the front field, except for the tacit understanding of Belleron and Baraja, the other four people are from four clubs, no matter how good this degree of cooperation is, how good can it be?

A few minutes later, Atletico launched another attack, this time it was Jadel who received a pass from Camoranesi on the edge of the box, but he did not see Vicente inserting into the box, but chose to force a turn and shoot, which was hit by close pressure from the opposition defender, and Songo's ball was saved again.

Compared with the unfamiliar cooperation on the forward line, the back line is much more stable, the back line plus the goalkeeper five people, but four are old players, the cooperation between them is quite tacit, the only newcomer Thuram is also experienced, and his task is also to mark the opponent's center Tristan, in this more personal ability of the marking, Thuram's characteristics are vividly displayed, with his physical fitness and experience firmly stared at Tristan, What made the young centre-forward, who was last season's most surprising performer, have no temper.

"These people, there is no problem with buying them." Dick chuckled as Thuram showed his defensive prowess, while Vicente's pace, Camoranesi's movement and Makelele's solidity were also evident in the game, and for Atletico, the signings were worth the price.

And although Jadel has not scored yet, but a few shots on goal showed his strong shot**, what Dick needs, these people have shown, so what else is he worried about?

Now the offense is playing a little unsmoothly, it's just a matter of tacit understanding, and tacit understanding needs to be accumulated slowly through the game, as long as the players can maintain their self-confidence, they will naturally get better and better - and this is what Dick has to do next!

"In terms of lineup, Atletico Madrid's current main lineup and even the main substitute lineup are quite perfect...... It's time for us to get some decent honours this season! ”
