Chapter 832: Derby
The eerie silence only ushered in a more frantic outburst, no, Madrid has the hottest day of the year, because today is the Madrid derby.
Although the Madrid derby is not as noble as the name of the so-called national derby, in Madrid, this is the biggest game, and in terms of attention, in fact, since last season, there is no need for the national derby to be bad, because Atletico Madrid has a forest.
And this season, not to mention, Atletico Madrid are treble winners and are now more likely to replicate Barcelona's six crowns as the defending champions.
The Bernabeu is like a volcano, not only the fans, but also the players on both sides, the mouth cannon did not play, but both sides were holding back their strength for this game.
"I've said since the start of the league that our goal this season is to defend the title," Simeone said to his disciples in the visitors' dressing room.
"And if we want to defend the title, Real Madrid is the hurdle we have to cross" Not only Real Madrid, but also Barcelona, although there are 19 opponents in the league, but beating such a super strong team will be a huge boost to the team's morale and confidence.
And teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona may be overturned as long as they are given the slightest chance, but in contrast, the situation of Atletico Madrid is much more severe, because Atletico Madrid is not as strong as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
In particular, Real Madrid and Barcelona have strengthened their strength in the new season, Barcelona brought Premier League top scorer Suarez to Camp Nou for 81 million euros, and Real Madrid also spent 80 million to bring Rodriguez, who performed very well in the World Cup, to the Bernabeu.
And with the arrival of Rodriguez, Real Madrid's "200 million Qi Fei" has also smoothly evolved into "300 million Qi Fei", which is simply luxurious.
On the other hand, Zinedine Zidane is also doing the same thing: "Forget everything about last season, now is a fresh start, Atletico Madrid is not as good as us, as long as we play at a normal level, then the final victory will definitely belong to us." ”
Real Madrid lineup: 433
Goalkeeper: Casillas
Defenders: Coentrão, Pepe, Raphael, Ramos
Midfielders: Luka Modric, Kroos, Rodriguez
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale
Real Madrid's formation is 433, but in time, Rodriguez's position is more prominent, belonging to the attacking midfield, and in the back line, Zidane will Pepe, Varane and Ramos all three are sent on the field, in order to defend Lin Dong.
Casillas' starting XI looks controversial at the moment, with Keylor Navas being the best goalkeeper of last season in La Liga, even beating Thibaut Courtois, who was extremely good last season, and even more so at the World Cup in Brazil.
But with such a performance, Navas can only sit on the bench, on the contrary, Casillas has not performed well in recent years, and was even suppressed by Lopes for a time, not to mention the World Cup in Brazil, the defending champions failed to qualify from the group, so the goalkeeper starts the issue, which is also worth studying.
Atletico Madrid lineup: 442
Goalkeeper: Moya
Defenders: Siqueira, Godin, Miranda, Juanfran
Midfielders: Turan, Gabi, Thiago, Koke
Forwards: Lin Dong, Mandzukic
Compared with last season, the changes in Atletico's lineup are those who have left, and the midfield has not changed at all, and in the attack, Simeone finally chose Mandzukic.
However, this does not mean that Simeone values Mandzukic more, the reason for this arrangement is because of last season's results, Mandzukic is a little more similar to Costa than Griezmann, and Mandzukic is also much more experienced than Griezmann.
The Croatian striker played for Bayern Munich for the past two years, and he has had many wonderful performances against strong teams, especially last season, when Mandzukic saved Pep Guardiola many times.
After confirming the starting line-up, Simeone approached Griezmann again, saying that this is not the first time Simeone has done this kind of thing, and the reason why Simeone is so much also represents the importance he attaches to this player.
On the reminder of the staff, the players on both sides finally walked out of the player tunnel, their eyes intersecting, and sparks were flying? No, Lin Dong and Ronaldo immediately divided their eyes, obviously, both sides know that the field is where they meet each other, and it is actually funny to look at each other now.
The two don't pay attention to each other, but there are many people who pay attention to them, such as Bale, Wales is a tragedy, he came to Real Madrid with a huge value of 100 million last season, but he was compared with Lin Dong for a season, and he was suppressed for a season.
Because of this, after spending a season at Real Madrid, Bale still failed to convince Real Madrid fans, not to mention the media on the sidelines.
For example, Rodriguez, the so-called newborn calf, Rodriguez, who came to Madrid with a value of 80 million, is obviously not convinced by Lin, who doesn't have ambition, the young genius is not staring at Ronaldo and Messi.
Now the two of them are still at their peak, Lin Dong has come out again, and compared with Messi and Ronaldo, the two post-80s, Lin Dong is only an era with them.
Another example is Real Madrid's backline, which is said to have played six times before, Lin Dong can break through Real Madrid's fans every time, even if he was a teammate with Lin Dong and has some understanding of his ability, it does not mean that they can accept being scored like this by Lin Dong.
And Real Madrid's backline and Lin Dong have basically torn their faces, Coentrão and Pepe are supporters of Ronaldo, Varane is Zidane's supporters, and the only good thing is Ramos, but the two are only nodding friends at most.
In the stands, Real Madrid's vision of Lin Dong is even more complicated, because Lin Dong has proved that he does not have to be worse than Ronaldo, and even he can do better than Ronaldo.
Real Madrid fans are indeed arrogant, but their arrogance has been shattered by Lin Dong's goals one by one, and they have also been shattered by Atletico Madrid's current results.
Leaving Lin Dong and selling Ronaldo, in the minds of Real Madrid fans, such assumptions have become more and more, so now the triple crown ~~~ is not right, will the five-crown winner be Real Madrid.
However, assumptions are always just assumptions, at this moment on the Bernabeu pitch, Lin Dong is wearing a red and white striped jersey, standing at the front of the lineup of the city's rival Atletico Madrid.
The referee Laos had already called the captains of both sides to his side, and it didn't take long for the coin guess to end, but unfortunately, the tee off was not on Atletico's side, and Gabichai lost to Casillas.
The players from both sides stood still, the referee's whistle blew and the Madrid derby officially kicked off, with Benzema kicking back the ball to the feet of Rodriguez, who then kicked it to the feet of Modric.
