Chapter 879: The Final

"Yes, we are one step closer to the championship, one step closer to the six-time crown" In the post-match interview, Lin Dong expressed his desire for the championship without the slightest concealment.

In fact, not only Lin Dong, but also the whole of Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid has already won the five crowns, in this case, even a fool knows what Atletico Madrid's goal is.

In this case, there is no need for Atletico Madrid to accumulate character, and directly admit it generously, showing the domineering and self-confidence that the Champions League champion should have.

The day after the match, Atletico also showed their composure and confidence as the strongest team, Simeone directly gave the players a day off, and this holiday was limited to the hotel, and the Atletico players could have a good day in Marrakech.

Of course, you can play, but you can't go anywhere you shouldn't, and you'll be back at your hotel for dinner, before the start of the other semi-final match.

Although Atletico Madrid is the strongest of these teams, they cannot be blindly confident, and football is a competition full of surprises, surprises and scares.

South American Argentinian side San Lorenzo are undoubtedly the second-strongest team in this edition of the Club World Cup, and arguably the only team that can pose a slight threat to Atletico.

For South America, people who know football will definitely not be strangers, South American duo Brazil and Argentina are super giants in world football, and South America is the world's first talent pool in football.

In today's European football, almost all the big teams have South American stars playing in their teams, if nothing else, the top three teams in La Liga have no South American players.

Barcelona's Messi is an Argentine player, Real Madrid has Marcelo, Rodriguez and others, and Atletico Madrid's Godin, Siqueira, and Ansaldi are all from South America.

Therefore, in Simeone's mind, Atletico Madrid's opponent in the final should be San Lorenzo, and the result of the game proved this, San Lorenzo defeated Oceania's Champions League champion Auckland City with a score of 2:1.

After the game, Simeone went straight to the meeting with the coaching staff, while the Atletico players returned to their rooms to rest for tomorrow's training.

Well, it's said that you go back to rest, but in fact, players can't really go to bed so early, play games together, and do other things without games.

And the next day, the Atletico Madrid players first went to the tactics room, the Atletico Madrid coaching staff did an in-depth study of San Lorenzo last night, the six crowns are not just talking, strength is a part, pre-match preparation is a more important part.

And when Atletico Madrid studied San Lorenzo, San Lorenzo was also studying Atletico Madrid, and even they were more thorough than Atletico Madrid, after all, there was a clear gap in each other's strength.

In the afternoon, Atletico began to apply what had been in their morning tactics room to the pitch, so that the day passed and there was only one day left until the final.

Not to mention, although Atletico Madrid is the European champion and has experienced a lot of big scenes, it is inevitable that there will be some nervousness when the real final comes.

In fact, this nervousness is also normal, because it means that the game is important, the championship is valued, if you are not even nervous about the final that day, it means that there is no passion for football motivation and the game.

The final was at the Marrakech Stadium, but compared to the semi-finals, the stands at the Marrakech Stadium were almost full of fans, and compared to the semi-finals, today's fans can watch two matches in a row.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the final of the third and fourth places was the first to start, and the Blue Cross played against Auckland City.

1:1, which was the score of 90 minutes between the two sides, and the two sides could not change in the subsequent extra time, and in the end the game was decided by penalty shootout, and Auckland City won the game.

The enthusiasm of the fans in the stands did not diminish because they had already played a game, on the contrary, when the Atletico players warmed up, the fans in the stands erupted in cheers and applause that were even more enthusiastic than the previous one.

"This is the difference, the teams in other states really can't compare with the European champions" This cheer and applause fully proves this, and it can also be seen from this that Atletico Madrid has an advantage of almost half of the home stadium.

"Guys~~~ There is only one game left from our goal" After the warm-up, Simeone, who returned to the locker room, looked at his disciples excitedly.

"Six crowns~~~ What a great honor, and today, we will touch this honor, we will be a part of this glory, we will be a participant in this glory."

"Some of us are old, and some of us are young, but whether we are old or young, the Six Crowns are an honor worth remembering for a lifetime, so ~~~~ Guys, go ahead and create this moment, even the most glorious moment of our career."

"Champion~~~Champion~~Champion" Atletico's dressing room was completely set on fire, because no one could resist the glory of the six-time champion.

Led by Guatemalan referee Lopez, players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, and as the players from both sides walked onto the pitch, the stands erupted in the most enthusiastic cheers of the day.

Atletico Madrid is still the main force, Lin Dong and Mandzukic on the front line, Griezmann started in the semifinals, so this time it was replaced by Mandzukic, Koke, Gabi, Thiago and Turan in the midfield, Juanfran in the backline, Godin, Miranda, Ansaldi, and goalkeeper Moya.

Atletico Madrid is a regular 442, on the other side of San Lorenzo is 4231, in the San Lorenzo lineup, the absolute core of the back Ortigoza, responsible for the team's organization and scheduling, both sides Veron and Barientos have skills and speed.

This Verón is not the same Veron, the better known Juan Verón has long since retired, the Verón who plays for San Lorenzo is called Gonzalo Verón, who is only 25 years old this year.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the captains of both sides began to guess the coin, Gabi failed to win the kick-off, and with the return of the captains of both sides, the curtain of the Club World Cup final was officially opened.

Although Atletico Madrid failed to win the kick-off, the first shot on goal of the opening kick belonged to Atletico Madrid, which also shows that Atletico Madrid is determined to win this game.

Ortigoza split the side of Veron after half-time, who tried to break down the flank, only to be caught by Atletico Madrid and the ball was poked out by Juanfrán.

The ball came to Thiagoga, and the Atletico vice team immediately made a long pass, at the edge of the penalty area, Lin Dong stopped the ball on his chest and forced him to turn around and shoot directly with his feet.
