Chapter 453: New Court Debut

Since the Wonder Group had included a clause on the naming rights of the stadium in the agreement when it acquired the shares of Atletico Madrid, the Calderón Stadium was renamed "Wonderland Metropolitano Stadium" after the acquisition of the shares by the Wonder Group.

The first match after the official name change of the Wonder Metropolitano Stadium will be the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

After losing 3-0 to Atletico Madrid in the last round of the Champions League group stage, Austrian Viennese have little hope of qualifying from the group, and even qualification for the Europa League as third in the group is only a "theoretical possibility". So they decisively put their focus on the domestic league, and kept more than half of the main players in Austria.

Although the Austrian Viennese team has put on a posture of "giving up treatment", Diego Simeone still arranged most of the main players to start in this game, including Feng Quan and Diego Costa, when his team still did not ensure the qualification from the group.

Due to the large gap between the two teams, and the Austrian Viennese team has "given up treatment" in advance, the home team Atletico Madrid not only occupied the absolute initiative on the field without suspense, but also in the 7th minute of the first half of the game, Miranda took the lead in scoring the opponent's goal by taking advantage of a corner kick.

Fifteen minutes later, Diego Costa, who had won the first three Champions League group games, sent Javi Manquillo's cross from the bottom line of the net into the top right corner of the net from the back of the net.

After leading by two goals, Atletico Madrid did not come up with its own "housekeeping skills" defensive counterattack tactics as everyone expected, but learned from the Barcelona team to play passing and controlling tactics.

Although Atletico Madrid is not known for passing and controlling, as a traditional La Liga giant, the technical ability of the attacking players is still enough to cope with the passing and control tactics. Even defensive midfielders like Gabi and Raul Garcia have some possession of the ball.

In fact, the reason why Atletico Madrid rarely uses pass-and-control tactics and prefers defensive counter-attacks, in addition to coach Diego Simeone's mastery of defensive counter-attacks, the team's personnel composition is also extremely suitable for defensive counter-attacking tactics.

In addition, the lack of purely technical midfielders in the team is one of the reasons why Diego Simeone prefers defensive counter-attacking tactics. After all, without an adequate rotation of technical midfielders, it would not be wise for a team to continue to use pass-and-possession tactics over a long season.

Of course, in the face of a team that is clearly weaker than him and lacks the confidence to win, Diego Simeone is still willing to try passing tactics in the game. After all, it is only by constantly honing in actual combat that the players' technical abilities can be truly improved.

Just like the Austrian Viennese team in this game, they had already "given up treatment" before the game started, and when they were two goals down, they completely lost the fighting spirit of the game.

As a result, in the remaining game time, it seems that a Champions League group stage is not being played in the Wonderland Metropolitano Stadium, but more like a "group confrontation" within Atletico Madrid.

Just when the game was one-sided, Feng Quan, who returned from injury in the last round of La Liga, also staged a wonderful solo performance with his speed advantage before the end of the first half.

At that time, after receiving a through pass from Koke near the halfway line, Feng Quan turned around and first used his right foot to dunk Tomas Imkovi, who came forward to block.

Then, just as centre-backs Manuel Ortlechner and Christian Ramsebner were about to close the ball, Feng Quan stabbed the ball with his right foot through the gap of about half a metre between the two.

After the wind that started to accelerate in an instant bypassed the right side of Otreettna to regain possession, it ran straight towards the Austrian Viennese penalty area.

It wasn't until Feng Quanquan dribbled the ball into the box at high speed and passed the goalkeeper who abandoned the goalkeeper that Ramsebona, who had recently completed the turn, could not stop his progress even if he wanted to foul him.

After returning to the dressing room with a three-goal lead, Diego Simeone made a substitution.

Feng Quan and Diego Costa, the "hottest in Europe" striker pair since the start of the new season, were replaced by coach Diego Simeone.

After the change of sides, although Atletico Madrid, who had the advantage of being at home, still took the initiative on the field, substitutes Adrian Lopes and David Villa missed many good chances to score in a row due to bad luck.

It wasn't until the 87th minute of the second half that Mario Suarez, who stepped into the penalty area, received a 45-degree diagonal pass from Juanfran and finally locked the score at 4-0 with a powerful header.

In this way, in the "opening match" of the Wonderland Metropolitano Stadium, Atletico Madrid won a big victory almost without any resistance, drawing a very successful end to their "new stadium debut".

…………

The night before Atletico Madrid's big win in their "new stadium debut", Real Madrid, who had just been forced to draw by Rayo Vallecano three days earlier, faced Serie A giants Juventus at the Bernabeu Stadium.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage two weeks ago, Real Madrid had a thrilling 2-1 victory over Juventus.

Therefore, when Real Madrid returned to their home stadium and Juventus had just suffered a three-game winless run in the league, the sports media in Spain and Italy were almost one-sided in favor of Real Madrid playing at home.

Even the "World Sports", which has always been responsible for "fighting" Real Madrid, believes very "objectively": "Although the overall strength of the Juventus team is not as good as Real Madrid, if the Serie A giants rely on their own solid back line to build an iron bucket formation at the Bernabeu Stadium, it will be very difficult for the Real Madrid team to win." ”

As the Russian man Lenin said, "the truth is often in the hands of the few", and Juventus, who were generally underestimated before the game, not only did not give Real Madrid much advantage, but almost took away a victory at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Just when the media in both countries widely believed that Juventus would build a high iron bucket at the Bernabeu Stadium, Italian coach Antonio Conte (Antonio Conte) unexpectedly played the high pressing tactics that Barcelona are best at.

Because he did not expect Antonio Conte to suddenly offer a high pressing tactic, so in the first ten minutes of the game, the Real Madrid team playing at home actually fell into a very passive situation...... 2k reading web
