The warm-up match between Atletico Madrid and Brighton kicked off on the afternoon of August 6 local time, and Simeone did not arrange training that day according to everyone's physical condition, focusing on the players' own physical adjustment. Except for Wen Zhihao, who was designated to open a small stove.

"How's he doing, Professor?" Simeone didn't stay with his two assistants during breakfast, but sat alone at a table with Menders, who just wanted to get to grips with Wen Zhihao's practice as soon as possible.

Mayendez glanced at Simeone fixedly, and said seriously: "Diego, from my professional point of view, your standards are too cruel for him. Wen is still at the age of physical development, you are really ruthless enough, and you are not afraid to abolish him. ”

Simeone smiled and said, "I think it's worth the risk compared to the potential injury risks that he may have due to his physical disadvantage." If he can't break through this bottleneck, his ceiling will be limited forever. Besides, don't you help me check the gates, I have 100% trust in your professionalism. ”

"But this kid is really special, obviously he is already close to the limit, I stimulated him a little on the side, and immediately burst out with a force, his body is like an independent energy reserve space, it seems that there is no limit." Mayendez's tone was one of surprise and curiosity.

"How much can he accomplish now?"

"Less than a third." Meende argued.

Simeone is still happy with the result: "It's a little better than I thought, after all, he has a weak foundation in this area, and we try to change him in one season. Professor, on Wen, please bother more. ”

Maiendez nodded, then narrowed his eyes and smiled: "If Wen Zhen can pass this level, I'm looking forward to what grade he will become......

On the other side, Wen Zhihao looked like he had just escaped from hell mode, his eyes were a little foggy, he leaned on the dining table, and he didn't even speak.

"Hey, Wen, what's wrong? Sick? Gameiro came over and asked.

Cork also came over and asked, "I didn't see you when I got up in the morning, Wen, where have you been?" ”

Teammates who were close to each other turned their heads to the side, and people such as Thomas and Gabi had a wicked smile, apparently reminiscent of some special experience.

Wen Zhihao immediately confided in his experience and successfully won everyone's sympathy.

As long as they mix under Simeone, especially the young players, who hasn't been "abused" in a similar way? Even Griezmann on the side resonated in his heart at the moment, and he thought of the days when he first arrived at Atletico Madrid.

However, after that, everyone realized one thing at the same time, Wen Zhihao seemed to mention it just now, today is his birthday......

Everyone knew what to do for the afternoon game.

……

Atletico Madrid's upcoming Premier League promotion Ma Brighton is an inspirational small team. At the beginning of this century, they also mixed in the fourth tier of England, and repeatedly failed in the Championship promotion play-offs. They made history last season by reaching the Premier League three rounds ahead of schedule under manager Chris Hughton.

Brighton don't have a big name in their squad, with Australian international Matthew Ryan being the only player with a current international background.

The difference in quality between the two teams is very obvious, and Simeone has also made a certain rotation of personnel. Wen Zhihao, who played well in the Audi Cup final, was used as a substitute, and Antoine Griezmann returned to the starting line-up.

However, the game did not go as smoothly as Simeone expected, and Atletico did have the upper hand in terms of ability, creating a number of chances to open the scoring, but Matthew Ryan was equally consistent, turning danger into the invisible time and time again. Brighton's investment on the pitch is significantly better than that of Atletico.

It wasn't until the 41st minute that Ryan's own butter hand gift gave Atletico a one-goal lead.

However, in the 60th minute of the game, Brighton's Gross's set-piece hit Juanfran and reflected into the net, and the score was 1:1.

Six minutes later, Juanfran made up for it and set up Torres to put the score in the lead.

However, in the 76th minute, Brighton equalised for the second time.

Twice leading and twice equalised, a situation that Simeone did not expect, and having stumbled so much against the promoted side, Simeone was not in the least satisfied with the performance of his players on the pitch.

Wen Zhihao received Simeone's order to come on as a substitute in the 80th minute, replacing Koke and replacing the midfielder with a shadow striker, Simeone put on a combination of "Griezmann + Wen Zhihao + Torres" in the front. He's trying to win the game, but he also wants to inspire the players on the pitch to fight.

Wen Zhihao, Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres were all players who excelled in attack, and Simeone's substitution paid off quickly.

In the 87th minute, Griezmann's low shot on the line of the penalty area was blocked by Ryan with one hand near the penalty spot, and Wen Zhihao happened to swim in this area, and the opportunity to send it to the goal could not be missed. The right-footed shot into the far corner.

Wen Zhihao was extremely excited to score from the stoppage, and it was not only his first goal for Atletico Madrid. This day is his seventeenth birthday.

What could be a better birthday gift than to celebrate your seventeenth birthday with a debut goal?

"Goal from Atletico Madrid's number 15 Wen! He gave a key assist in the last game, and scored the winning goal in this game. Step by step, this young Chinese is proving that he has what it takes to establish himself in Madrid! Spanish commentator Garcia spat out words of praise. A few days ago, he was still questioning Wen Zhihao's performance in this recruitment, but he selectively forgot about it.

Wen Zhihao ran to the sidelines surrounded by his teammates, and made a "17" gesture, Garcia didn't know much about Wen Zhihao, but he understood the CCTV commentary He Wei, who had already been familiar with Wen Zhihao's basic information, and said passionately: "Today is a double happiness for Wen Zhihao, and this Atletico Madrid's first goal is the best gift he gave to his seventeenth birthday!" ”

He Wei explained that the fans of Wen Zhihao's post bar in China have piled up to hundreds of floors, all of which are all kinds of birthday wishes. Of course, there are also things like "Zhihao, I'm going to give you a monkey", "Do idols lack girlfriends?" "Husband kisses and hugs", at first glance, it is the of the girl fans who have committed it again.

Teammates gathered around and used this goal to wish Wen Zhihao a happy birthday. Wen Zhihao stretched out his hand to Griezmann and said: "Half of the credit should be given to you, otherwise there would be no goal for me, thank you for your shot." ”

Griezmann didn't expect Wen Zhihao to make this move, and after a few seconds of pause, he stretched out his hand and responded: "You are the real hero, happy birthday." It was my fault for treating you like that before, I hope you don't mind. ”

"So? Which? How come I don't remember? It's good to win, haha! ”

Wen Zhihao's words sent a signal of goodwill. People are often a feeling, and at this moment, Griezmann realized that Wen Zhihao just wanted to help the team, and his previous thoughts were a bit of a villain's heart.

It seems that I am used to playing the main force and have forgotten the feeling of competition. Griezmann began to feel that it was a good thing to have Wen Zhihao as an opponent, to be his own mirror and keep himself in a sense of crisis at all times.

In a few words, the estrangement between the two disappeared.

Simeone was delighted that these few minutes proved that Wen Zhihao can coexist with Antoine Griezmann on the pitch, which is an important secret weapon for himself in a difficult situation that requires a strong attack.
