Chapter 380: The Starting List

Chapter 380 Starting List

There was a lot of talk on the outside, but for Atletico Madrid, they were still very calm inside.

On January 7, after a brief training session in the morning, the players took a lunch break and headed to Calderón Stadium.

The game was played at 7 p.m., and the players were to arrive at the pitch about two hours earlier.

After coming out of the hotel, on the bus to Calderón, Gao Bo began to announce the starting list.

The players looked at Gao Bo with great anticipation.

After all, the opponent is a strong team like Barcelona, who doesn't want to play against such a team?

"Striker! Left... Reyes! ”

Gao Bo was holding an A4 piece of paper in his hand, and all the players were looking at the white copy paper in his hand, as if they could see something from it.

In fact, the players sitting in the back seats couldn't see anything.

"The center... Ah Kun! ”

"Oh......"

Diego Costa took his seat with his head in his hands.

He's going to sit on the bench for another 90 minutes in this game....

"Hey, Diego! I scored a hat-trick last time! ”

Aguero was proud!!

He sat behind Diego Costa and reached out and patted Costa on the shoulder.

Diego Costa simply zipped up his sports jacket and buried his entire face inside.

"On the right... Griezmann! ”

"Midfielder! N'Golo Kante, Raul Garcia Modric! ”

"Defenders: Juanflan, Godin, Boateng, Sandro!"

Gao Bo read all the players in one go, and now it was the goalkeeper's turn.

Asenjo looked nervously at Navas not far away.

He was a little nervous now, and he thought that after De Gea was gone, the position of the main goalkeeper should be his.

As a result, as soon as Navas arrived, there was another change.

Asenjo knows Navas's strength from training in the past few days, but he believes that he still has an advantage over Navas, that is, his height and arm length, and he may be able to control more places than Navas.

"Goalkeeper..."

Gao Bo paused as he said this, and the whispers of the players in the bus stopped.

It seems that the players of Atletico Madrid also want to know who the starting goalkeeper of this game is.

"Navas!"

Gao Bo didn't keep them waiting long.

Assenjo was a little disappointed when he heard Gao Bo speak.

He was originally the main player for Atletico Madrid, then David De Gea came and took him away, and now Keylor Navas is here again.......

Perhaps, there really isn't much chance left at Atletico Madrid.

Assenjo thought......

Navas was a little excited!

He never dreamed that he would one day start against an opponent like Barcelona!

Navas felt his muscles tremble in his muscles - the excitement before the big game!

.......

The Atletico Madrid bus drove into the parking lot of the stadium amid the cheers of the Atletico Madrid fans.

Gao Bo was the first to rush down the car and then led the players into the home team's dressing room.

Soon, under the leadership of assistant coach Moya, the players were about to go out to the stadium for a warm-up.

And Gao Bo remained in the locker room.

The starting XI from Barcelona also came out.

Due to the red card he received in the last minute of the last leg, the Barcelona defender will be suspended for this time!

He was replaced by Mascherano, who Barcelona brought in from Liverpool this season.

The current Pony has not been transformed into a centre-back by Pep Guardiola, so he is still playing his old ways, but at Barcelona his place is firmly occupied by Busquez.

And he also got a rare chance to start this game.

Aside from the midfielder position, Barcelona's starting XI has not changed much.

The goalkeeper is still Valdés, the right-back is Alves, and the centre-back combination is still Puyol and Pique.

At left-back, Barcelona made some changes.

Brazilian left-back Adriano replaced Maxwell and started the game.

In midfield, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Mascherano are on the side.

In the forward line, Messi, Villa, Pedro, this is the most commonly used combination of Barcelona.

Gao Bo looked at Barcelona's bench.

On the bench, Barcelona also have a number of good players.

Barcelona is never a very easy opponent to deal with, and Gao Bo has played Barcelona twice this season, and won both times.

Gao Bo knows that Guardiola will definitely make some changes in this game, otherwise he will not be Guardiola.

Even if it is Gao Bo, after losing to an opponent twice in a row, you have to adjust it.

Gao Bo can't tell what kind of medicine is sold in Guardiola's gourd from this starting list, and if Adriano and Maxwell want to say any difference, there is actually no difference between him.

Maybe Adriano's cross was a little more accurate?

Gao Bo put Barcelona's starting list on the table, and since he couldn't see where the other side had changed, Gao Bo simply put the matter aside for the time being, he pulled the tactical board over, and then put the formations of both sides on the table.

433 against 433!

-for-tat!

And at this time in the dressing room of Barcelona, Guardiola is also looking at the starting lineup of Atletico Madrid!

Did Gobo really start Navas?!

Seeing Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper, Guardiola was still a little surprised.

He didn't know anything about Keylor Navas, and he even wanted to find some highlights of Navas's performance in the Costa Rican league league or something, and Guardiola searched for a long time to find a few blurry videos - it's not easy to find footage of Costa Rica's league games.

Judging by these short videos, Navas's reaction is still very fast.

But you can't see anything just by looking at the highlights.

If you just look at the highlights, put all the goals of a striker into one video, and people who don't know it still think this guy is the king of the ball....

Pep Guardiola wants to see the footage of Keylor Navas' entire game.

It's a pity that in the rush time, Guardiola was not found.

However, since Gobo chose to send Keylor Navas to start, it means that the Costa Rican definitely has a few brushes.

For Gao Bo's eyesight, Guardiola still admires it.

But this Navas... How did Gao Bo know about the existence of this person?!

It's hard for Pep Guardiola to figure it out even if he wants to break his head.

Could it be that Atletico Madrid has scouts in Costa Rica?

Guardiola couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to!

For Barcelona, this game is of course about constantly fighting for the attack!

It's about keeping the ball at your feet and looking for opportunities to shoot in midfield.

After losing 2-1 at home to Atletico Madrid, the situation is really difficult for Barcelona.

However, this does not mean that Barcelona will be eliminated from the competition.

As long as they score more than two goals at this stadium and then win against Atletico Madrid, they are guaranteed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona scored two goals?

Is it hard?

Of course, it's not difficult to say. As long as they are good enough, they can certainly do it.
