After a five-goal away sweep of Celta Vigo, Diego Simeone gave his team another two-day break.

The Argentine's move is to reward the players for their excellent performance in away games, and secondly, to hope that their players can get better recovery in order to better cope with the next knockout stage of the Champions League. After all, after the 24th round of league matches, Atletico Madrid will once again have a double fixture schedule.

Taking advantage of the rare two-day holiday, Feng Quan also held a grand opening ceremony in Nicolas Sanchez, a "Chinatown" that has gradually formed in recent years, and the "Royal Kitchen Madrid Store" co-opened with Sun Jiaming.

Because of the great success of the Chinese restaurant in Germany with Sun Jiaming, Feng Quan planned to open a chain of Chinese restaurants in Madrid as early as last year when he transferred to Atletico Madrid. It was only because Sun Jiaming lacked skills, and his son Sun Mingyun's cooking skills were far from becoming a chef, that he temporarily rejected Feng Quan's proposal.

Feng Quan thought that Sun Jiaming was a little too cautious at that time, and Feng Quan, who had tasted Sun Mingyun's craftsmanship in person, thought that his cooking level was very close to that of his father Sun Jiaming, and he was fully capable of being the head chef of a restaurant.

However, Sun Jiaming, who pursues perfection, is worried that his son will smash the signboard of his "ancestral imperial kitchen", which will affect Fengquan's business in Spain.

Now, after nearly two years of rigorous training by Sun Jiaming, Sun Mingyun's culinary skills have finally reached the standard of being a chef, and Fengquan's plan to open a chain of restaurants in Madrid has finally been implemented.

At the same time, for the sake of "insurance", Sun Jiaming still asked Feng Quan to dig up his junior brother from a five-star hotel in China, and fired the first shot on Nicolas Sanchez Street with his son.

In fact, even if Sun Mingyun's cooking skills are not up to Sun Jiaming's standards, the "Imperial Kitchen" will also be successful in Madrid with the popularity of Fengquan today.

However, when Sun Mingyun's cooking skills are "Dacheng" and "Uncle Shi" is assisted by him, it is difficult for the "Royal Kitchen" Madrid store to succeed.

On the opening day of the "Royal Kitchen", in addition to Feng Quan and Xu Xin, the captain Gabi, Griezmann, Saul and other more than ten first-team players of Atletico Madrid also came to cheer.

As a result, not only the nearby Chinese have come here, but also many Atletico Madrid fans from other regions have also flocked to the club after getting the news.

For a while, a total of more than 200 people lined up outside the door of the "Imperial Kitchen", which can accommodate 500 people at the same time.

Although it is impossible to show the hot scene of the opening, Feng Quan believes that with his "anti-sky" popularity, coupled with the ancestral cooking skills of the Sun family, the business of "Royal Kitchen" in Madrid will not be much worse than that of the "main store" in Hamburg.

Since "Royal Kitchen" has been successful in both Hamburg and Madrid, it is also time to consider opening other branches in other Chinese-populated Chinatowns, and even make the "brand" of "Royal Kitchen" a world-renowned restaurant chain in the future.

Although Feng Quan, who has long been a billionaire, is not a money-lover, in order to achieve the ambitious goal of truly revitalizing Chinese football, the hundreds of millions of euros he now has are far from enough. It is precisely because of this that Fengquan will not hesitate to pay tens of millions of euros in liquidated damages to terminate the contract with Adi Company, and then cooperate with its "brother company" Biaoma to create its own sports brand.

In order to achieve his goals better and faster, Feng Quan believes that he should open up a way to make money as much as possible.

So, after the opening celebration of the "Imperial Kitchen", Feng Quan discussed with his agent Zhao Shijie and the Sun family on the next development of the "chain restaurant".

After nearly an hour of discussion, Feng Quan decided to cooperate with Nord Stream Technician College, a very famous technician training school in his hometown, to set up a cooking training class.

In order to encourage students to sign up, Feng Quan not only prepared to set up a high scholarship for the cooking class (1 first-class scholarship, 10,000 yuan per academic year; 2 second-class scholarships, 5,000 yuan per academic year; 3 third-class scholarships, 2,000 yuan per academic year), at the same time, after the students graduate from three years of study, Sun Jiaming will personally test their cooking skills, and those with excellent grades will be directly signed with the "Wind Team", and become the backbone of the company when Fengquan establishes a chain restaurant group in China in the future.

After two days off, the Atletico Madrid players were all on the training pitch in good spirits.

Due to the strength of Atletico Madrid's opponent Almeria in this round of the league is somewhat weak, and the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Bayer Leverkusen will be played in Germany in the middle of next week, so Diego Simeone put the absolute main force of Feng Quan, Griezmann, Koke and other teams in the group confrontation training to the "substitute" team.

Although the main player in training matches is not necessarily the starting line-up in official matches, it is at least the first choice of the team manager when it comes to starting a starting line-up.

Simeone made this choice on the one hand because he felt that even if he lacked core players such as Feng Quan, his team would be enough to deal with the weak Almeria; On the other hand, I also want to give more opportunities to the substitutes, so that they can even be on top when the main player is suspended due to injury or yellow card.

In addition, Diego Simeone also wants to use the game against Almeria to help the former Spanish "golden boy" Fernando Torres regain his sense of goal. You must know that Torres, who returned to Atletico Madrid in the winter transfer period, although he got four starts during Feng Quan's participation in the Asian Cup, and also scored twice in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey with Real Madrid, but he has not opened his goal account in the five La Liga games he has played since his return.

…………

At 9 p.m. on February 22, Atletico Madrid's home match against Almeria arrived as scheduled, and it was no surprise that Fernando Torres, who had been in the "starter" team during training, was also in the starting lineup.

Since Torres has not been given the chance to start since the return of the wind, even if he can come off the bench, it is basically when the team has already sealed the win in advance. In that case, the team is basically in a state where they have no intention of extending the lead by holding on to the win, so even if Torres wants to make a difference in the limited playing time, it will be difficult to get strong support from his teammates.

Therefore, Torres, who appeared as a starter again after three rounds of the league, attached great importance to and cherished this rare starting opportunity.

However, the importance of ideology turned into stubborn individual heroism in the competition.

Desperate to break the league's goal drought, Torres was not very reasonable in handling the ball, and some chances were not very good, and he stubbornly chose to go it alone.

If Torres was young, the "Spanish Golden Boy" with the advantage of speed might still be able to force the opponent's defense with his individual ability. It's a pity that Torres, who is no longer young, has long lost the bravery and strength of taking the rank of general in a million-strong army.

As a result, the stubborn Torres fell into the siege of Almeria's defenders again and again, and then transferred the ball to the opponent's feet......
