This is football, and football is more complex than any other competitive sport, cruel and heartwarming, sometimes contradictory, but sometimes interexistent.

After a few days of fermentation, things became clear, and Atletico reached an agreement with AC Milan, with Torres on loan at Atletico Madrid, knowing that the partnership was over, and Atletico Madrid bought Celci the past summer and sent it to AC Milan.

The Serie A assist king last season has been treated well at Atletico Madrid this season, and after almost half a season, Cerci has counted every number of appearances and misses.

Atletico Madrid plays overall football, which can also be called system football, and Cherch does not have the strength of Lin Dong, and can override the strength above the system, so what he can do is to integrate, but as of now, Cerci has not integrated into it.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is that Atletico's midfield is too stable, especially on the wing, and the combination of Koke and Turan has been for three seasons.

Cerci can't even shake the midfield, let alone the striker, you know, the competition for the forward line is fiercer than the midfield, and Raul Garcia has to retreat to the midfield.

In this case, Cerci does not want to stay at Atletico Madrid, although Atletico Madrid is in a good situation right now, but Cerci prefers to play.

So for this deal, whether it is for the player or for the club, it is a win-win deal, AC Milan has gained an instant force, the same Serie A team, Cerci does not have to worry about integration, and Atletico Madrid has ushered in the former flag.

Torres was born in the Atletico Madrid academy, and in Atletico's darkest moments, Torres' rise gave Atletico infinite comfort at that time, and in the years since, Torres has carried Atletico Madrid forward on his shoulders.

No one can deny Torres' efforts and dedication to Atletico Madrid, although Torres chose to leave in the end, but Atletico at that time did not show any hope.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid fans did not really blame Torres in their hearts, otherwise the news of Torres' return this time would have detonated the fans, and even received the support of the stadium.

This was later demonstrated by the return ceremony, when Atletico Madrid reached an agreement with AC Milan just one day before the first game of the winter break, with Torres on loan until 2016, and Cerci on a 16-year loan at AC Milan.

The flag went home, Calderón Stadium, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people, and more than 45,000 people came, just for Torres's joining ceremony.

There are more than 10,000 more than when Lin Dong joined Atletico Madrid last season, and when Lin Dong joined Atletico Madrid last season, more than 30,000 fans came to the Calderon Stadium at that time to express their welcome.

Of course, if it is now, it will definitely be enough to fill the entire Calderón stadium, with the performance of the past season, Lin Dong not only completely conquered Atletico Madrid fans, but also became the king in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans, is an indispensable player in the Atletico Madrid team, and is the biggest contributor to Atletico Madrid's six crowns.

The Atletico players were watching the ceremony at the signing ceremony of Torres at the club, as the Atletico players needed to prepare for the next day's match against Levante.

No. 19, this is the number of Torres's return to Atletico Madrid, the original No. 9 now belongs to Lin Dong, even if Torres is the former flag of Atletico Madrid, it is impossible for him to let Lin Dong take off No. 9, as long as Lin Dong is still in Atletico Madrid for a day, this number only belongs to Lin Dong.

In fact, Torres didn't think of coming to grab Lin Dong's number, after all, Torres is no longer the high-spirited teenager golden boy he once was, he is thirty years old, and now he is just a wanderer returning home, for Torres, to be able to return to Atletico Madrid, back to the place where his dream began has made him satisfied.

This can also see the sadness of Torres, at the age of thirty, he is at the peak of a player, but he has fallen, and he is no longer the feared super striker.

"Welcome back, Fernando" The Atletico players had just finished a day of training as Torres returned to the training base from the Stadio Calderón.

Gabi, like Torres, is an Atletico Madrid academy player, and the age difference between the two is only one year, so the two can be said to be old friends.

However, the situation of the old friends at Atletico Madrid is completely different, Torres is a young talent, a key development object of the team, and he has been the darling since he was transferred to the first team of Atletico.

And what about Gabi? When Torres was on the rise, he had to sit on the bench, and even when he did, he had to go to the B team, and it wasn't until the 05-06 season that Gabi got more opportunities at Atletico.

The real turning point for both came in 2007, when Torres left the British Peninsula with the record for the highest value of a Spanish player and the highest transfer spend in Liverpool's history.

And the captain of Atletico Madrid went to Real Zaragoza, who was still in La Liga at the time, on a free transfer this year, one went to a high place, the other went to a low place, and fate is often so magical.

That same season, Real Zaragoza were relegated, and although they returned to La Liga after a season, no one would have thought that Gabi would have achieved his current achievements in the future.

Also in his first season, Torres conquered Liverpool and conquered the Premier League with goals, and from that season, Torres officially entered the ranks of top strikers.

The trajectory of fate turned again, this time four years later, in the winter of that year, Torres moved to Chelsea for an even larger sum, and in the summer of that year, Gabi was bought back by Atletico Madrid at a low price.

Since then, the fate of the two has been completely reversed, Gabi became the captain of Atletico Madrid, and gradually entered the best age of his career, reaching the peak of his career, helping Atletico Madrid win the Champions League that he had never touched, and achieved the great feat of the triple crown and then the six crowns.

Torres, on the other hand, was sent to AC Milan for the biggest parallel trade in Chelsea's history, returning to Atletico Madrid after scoring only one goal in half a season.

Now, one is a homecoming wanderer, one is a meritorious captain, one is a former junior captain, leading the team to rejuvenate the road, and the other is an active captain, leading the team to a peak that has never been reached.

"Thank you~~~ Gabriel" The two looked at each other and embraced.

There are no sparks, no emotions, this is just the reunion of two teenagers who once chased their dreams after they grow up, this time, they have become teammates again, and they are still in the place where their dreams began.

Perhaps, in each other's eyes, they can still see the appearance of their teenagers, and the two dream-chasing teenagers in each other's eyes.
