Chapter 182: Unexpected Greetings (Ask for Collection!) )
The last ten minutes were almost Atletico's half-time attack, and Valencia were very keen to take advantage of Atletico's sneak attack on the gap behind them, but Atletico's overall high pressing and obviously better possession left them powerless. Parejo and Kondogbia received yellow cards for a foul on Wen Zhihao in midfield, and they were very aggrieved and never thought they would lose to a Chinese. But that's the case, they really can't keep up with Wen Zhihao's precise and fast kicking.
Such a kick is a technique that Wen Zhihao can improve after coming to Atletico Madrid in order to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses. La Liga is a lot faster and the pace is much faster, and if you want to gain a foothold here and play to your strengths to the extreme, reducing physical entanglement is the only way. Atletico's anti-counter-attacking system is thicker than Real Madrid's, but it is more suitable for Wen Zhihao to play to his advantages of speed and space. He has one more playmaker on the pitch, and Wen Zhihao can act as a half of the midfield.
Valencia's defenders are tired but tenacious. No matter how Atletico Madrid kicks his head and feet, he can only win the scene, but he can't rewrite the score. The exclamations and boos at the scene almost did not stop after Wen Zhihao's debut, which shows the fierceness of Atletico's offensive.
Unfortunately, after four minutes of stoppage time, the score was still 0-0, and Atletico could only regret a goalless draw with the opponent.
When the two managers shook hands, Simeone's expression was flat, and those who knew him well knew that this expression showed that he was not very satisfied. Marcelino, on the other hand, was blessed with the aftermath of the catastrophe. In the last round, Real Madrid drew 2-2 away from home, and this round drew with Atletico Madrid. Scoring points on the Madrid duo in a row is already quite a success. The current Valencia is no longer the Bat Army that moved Europe at the beginning of this century and was evenly matched with Zidane's Galaxy Battleship in the Champions League final. At the end of last season's league season, they finished in 12th place with just 46 points and have not even played in the Europa League this season. Being able to squeeze into the top five after three rounds this year is already considered "progress".
Simeone was not in a good mood with reporters after the game, especially because he was annoyed by the attitude of local Valencian reporters asking questions. But there is also additional good news, the game played two hours earlier than Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid drew two consecutive home games, a 1-1 draw with Levante, which is not a big upset. Another "Western Super League" team, Barcelona, came on a day late and made no mistakes, beating Espanyol 5-0 at Camp Nou, with Messi scoring a hat-trick. The news that has a little to do with Wen Zhihao is that his teammate Paulinho during the Evergrande period made his Camp Nou debut. Not surprisingly, the two will get the chance to speak directly in La Liga......
After three rounds of league games, everyone was stunned to find that there was an extra dark horse team at the top of the standings - Real Sociedad. The team, which has been hovering in the lower middle of the table, started the season with a three-game winning streak, simply because of the goal difference disadvantage behind Barcelona. The introduction of Manchester United Academy achievements Januzaj and former Spain international Llorente this season has really given everyone a bright feeling. Although everyone predicted that due to the limitation of strength, such a momentum would not last long, it still won everyone's attention.
A few days later, the eyes of the mainstream media in Europe shifted from the domestic league to the Champions League, which will kick off on Wednesday, and Wen Zhihao travelled to Rome to begin preparations for the first away game.
Wen Zhihao still has a unique affection for Italy, and this is where his dream of becoming a professional footballer really began. Although Rome and Milan are more than 600 kilometers apart, it is basically impossible to come to a real hometown again, but Wen Zhihao's feeling of loving the house and Wu, stepping on the land here, is indeed very special. And he is no stranger to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, where he will be playing. When he played in the youth league on behalf of the Inter Milan team, Wen Zhihao felt the side field of this stadium, and although the grandeur of the main stadium was only a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg, it still left a deep impression on Wen Zhihao.
When Wen Zhihao trains with the team on the outfield of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, he sometimes thinks of the Meazza Stadium. Stepping on that pitch for the first team was what he was trying to do. If he can have the opportunity to play there, even if it is as an opponent, it is a small wish of his kind.
The clash between Roma and Atletico Madrid is not only a key match in Group C, but also one of the highlights of all first-round matchups. However, judging from the comparison of the state of the two sides, the home team Roma has a clear advantage in waiting for work. The last round of the league that was originally scheduled to play Sampdoria away was postponed due to a typhoon. Roma also had a full week of rest than Atletico. Roma manager Di Francesco has full confidence in winning at home: "We will face Atletico in the best form, the players are always hungry for victory, and here we are kings!" ”
Simeone replied: "If the home team is scored three goals by the away team, they are qualified to be the king...... Hehe, it's good if you're happy! ”
The faces of the local media in Rome at the scene immediately turned the color of pig liver, but Simone was not afraid of offending people. Facts speak louder than words, you can be beaten 3-1 by Inter at home and you are not allowed to say it?
Roma's new thigh Dzeko regained momentum for the home team on Twitter, but his unscrupulous words caused a huge controversy.
Dzeko tweeted: A team that lives in a glorious corner of the championship is also entitled to talk about victory! Rely on referees? Or is it a child who doesn't have any hair?
A word directly tore open the wounds of Atletico Madrid fans. Indeed, in terms of the number of champions and heritage, Atletico Madrid is indeed too far from Real Madrid, and the last two Champions League knockout rounds fell at the feet of Real Madrid, which has exacerbated the unpleasant sentiment of Atletico Madrid fans. However, fans who have maintained restraint have found that Dzeko's statement has a separate point.
A child who doesn't have any hair?
In terms of age and Champions League qualifications alone, only Wen Zhihao, who is still underage, is in line.
The media and fans on Atletico Madrid's side suddenly felt ridiculous, pathetic and lamentable, if it wasn't for the feeling of a threat in their hearts, why bother with no silver three hundred taels here?
Shortly after Dzeko's tweet was sent, it was surprising that the official Twitter account of the Inter Milan club spoke out about the match that had nothing to do with them, and dedicated @Wen Zhihao, writing: "Wen, welcome back to Italy. Greetings from Inter Milan FC and the Academy, and good luck in Rome. ”
Inter's special greeting was beyond everyone's expectations, and there was a deep meaning in sending such a message at this time?
