Chapter 549: Change

There are many legends about the origins of Madrid, among which the story of the raspberry and the bear has a long history, and the bear and the raspberry have gradually become one of the symbols of Madrid.

In 1903, Atletico Madrid was officially established in the old industrial area and slum area in the southwest of Madrid, which also heralded the fate of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

In the beginning, Atletico Madrid was not a truly independent club, at that time Atletico Madrid existed as a branch of Athletic Bilbao, and even the shirt worn at that time was not the current red and white stripe.

This did not change until 1911, when Atletico Madrid switched from a dark blue jersey to a red and white jersey, and most of Spain's bed sheets at that time were red and white, hence Atletico Madrid's nickname that has been passed down to this day, the Sheet Army.

1921 was a year to remember for Atletico Madrid, as they officially became independent from Athletic Bilbao as a true football club.

At the time of Atletico Madrid's independence, another Madrid team had been crowned with the name of Royal, symbolizing the birth of the noble and pure Real Madrid.

When Real Madrid became the founding father of La Liga, Atletico Madrid was still in the lower leagues, just like the children of the poor and the children of the rich.

But Madrid's two children have a similar energy, with the Bernabeu, the greatest president of Real Madrid's history, who laid the foundation for Real Madrid's best of the century.

Similarly, Atletico Madrid has welcomed its greatest president, Vincent Calderón, who, like the Bernabeu, is named after at the home of Atletico Madrid.

Calderón Stadium was built in 1961 and took five years to complete in 1966, although Calderón Stadium was not called Calderón at that time.

The actual name change came five years later, when the stadium, rated a five-star stadium by UEFA and capable of seating 54,207 people, was officially renamed.

In the history of La Liga, Atletico Madrid is the third team to win the championship, from the beginning of the 39-40 season, to the current position, Atletico Madrid has won a total of 9 La Liga titles, the last time to stand at the top of La Liga was in the 95-96 season.

Climbing to the top and falling to the bottom, if it weren't for Atletico Madrid's poverty from the beginning of its establishment, perhaps the team with the third most titles in La Liga would have completely fallen.

Just like the spirit of Atletico Madrid, indomitable and iron-blooded, in the two seasons of the second division, Atletico Madrid's fans have increased but increased, and the Calderon Stadium, which has more than 50,000 people, is almost full.

It is also the encouragement of the fans that Atletico Madrid has been reborn in blood, and on the occasion of Atletico Madrid's centennial, they ushered in the best gift of all, returning to the Spanish First Division.

But just when Atletico Madrid was imagining the next 100 years, the death of the then chairman of the old Hill due to illness gave Atletico Madrid a heavy blow.

Perhaps, the elder Hill is an out-and-out villain in the eyes of outsiders, but in Madrid, in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans, he is one of the most beloved club presidents in the history of Atletico Madrid.

is also the departure of the old Hill, and Cerezo, as the assistant of the old Hill, officially stepped onto the historical stage of Atletico Madrid and began to lead the injured Atletico Madrid to revival.

On the third day of July 2013, perhaps for Atletico Madrid fans now, this day is nothing special, if you really want to say, it can only be regarded as a good mood, because Atletico Madrid welcomed the players of last season's sworn rivals Real Madrid, poached players from the sworn enemies, and this is the whole meaning of today's Atletico Madrid fans.

But in the future, there may be countless Atletico fans who will remember this day because they welcomed the greatest striker in Atletico's 100-year history.

Lin Dong, a year ago, he came to Madrid almost alone, the fans and the media were only two or three kittens, but a year later, when he walked out of Madrid International Airport again, he was greeted by thousands of fans and hundreds of media.

Perhaps, there are some people who don't really welcome him, or even have ulterior motives, and they are estimated to be shown to others, and some people are waiting for his jokes.

Surrounded by bodyguards, Lin Dong got into the car to Atletico Madrid, and in the car, Lin Dong's agent Raiola had been waiting for a long time.

"How is it~~~ Are you still satisfied with this battle?" After the bodyguard closed the car door, Raiola asked Lin Dong.

"Satisfied," Lin Dong nodded.

"You're not worried at all?" Raiola looked at Lin Dong speechlessly.

If he can't help Atletico Madrid get something this season, then Lin Dong will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame and become a joke.

"Man, do you think I'd make such a decision if I had concerns in my mind?" Lin Dong shrugged his shoulders and said.

"You madman, from the moment you came to Madrid, the city was destined to go crazy because of it," Raiola sighed as she shook her head.

A year ago, Lin Dong came to Madrid, he came for Real Madrid, wore the white jersey that almost all players coveted, and stood at the Bernabeu, which countless people call the temple, to play.

But he was not satisfied, he wanted to be the one who stood on top of football, he wanted to be the greatest one of the era, so he challenged two of the best players of the era, one was an opponent and the other was a teammate.

In the end, he defeated his opponent and stepped on the corpse of his opponent to make his name resound throughout the Europa continent, but in the end, he lost to his teammates, and in the Real Madrid intra-team game, he failed, and the result of defeat was naturally to leave.

But he was unwilling, and when he fell from there, he got up from there, so he chose the same city's mortal enemy, and he wanted revenge, and he wanted to tell anyone that he was the best one.

This is the change of Lin Dong in the past two years, although he is still the same person, but in terms of dealing with football, he is no longer the same person for two years.

Now he loves football, maybe it's a little incredible, but that's how he has changed, from rejection at the beginning, to acceptance, and then to love now.

If he doesn't love football, then why does he want to be at the top of football, why does he want to be the best, and why does he want to join Atletico Madrid and push himself to the brink.

All of this is because of his change in football, his love for football, otherwise, he could have taken another path, an easy and freehand road.
