In order to better mine the news points for the media, the organizer Audi arranged all the participating teams in the best location of the Four Seasons Hotel Kempinski, including the host Bayern Munich. The hotel was surrounded by media and cameras. The focus of the local German media is naturally Bayern, such as James Rodriguez, who has just joined Bayern on loan from Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti and James Rodriguez reunited, and the German media believe that Ancelotti and James Rodriguez are back in peak form at the World Cup in Brazil and the early days of Real Madrid. In the current Audi Cup, James should be able to get a lot of opportunities.

With the sudden influx of stars in the hotel attracting most of the attention, Wen Zhihao is temporarily in a corner that has been forgotten by most of the media. Without the troubles of the media, Wen Zhihao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which was more conducive to him recuperating and waiting for the opportunity to appear.

Simeone is obviously very concerned about Wen Zhihao, and every day after returning to the hotel after training, he will always come to Wen Zhihao's room to walk around, and show his concern by the way. Griezmann, who lives in the same room, occasionally comes in from the outside and sees the two talking heart-to-heart, which always feels very uncomfortable. Whether it is in terms of fame or contribution to the club, he is far greater than Wen Zhihao. Why doesn't the leader care about himself, the main force, but pays so much attention to Wen Zhihao, a child?

Because of Simeone's authority in the team, Griezmann did not dare to throw a face at Simeone, but Wen Zhihao did not have this treatment. During training, the two of them have a main force and a substitute, and they will not be assigned to a group, usually in the room, Griezmann basically ignores Wen Zhihao, and even if Wen Zhihao takes the initiative to call him when he is in a bad mood, he will be treated as air.

Wen Zhihao thinks that Griezmann may be such a cold and unapproachable character, after all, he is a big name, who doesn't have a personality. With the increase of experience, Wen Zhihao, who became more and more "good at life", decided not to take the initiative to be bored when Griezmann was not sure of Griezmann's mood.

The different psychological goals of the two led to an embarrassing result: there was talk and laughter in the rooms of other teammates, but in this room, whether there was anyone or not, it was almost the same, and it was as quiet as if it was lifeless.

Strange and coincidental state of the "cold war"!

Simeone's original intention was to allow the two to communicate better after training, especially Wen Zhihao's first attempt at the shadow striker position, and Griezmann's experience and experience are very valuable to Wen Zhihao. But Simone would not have thought that the arrangement he thought he was proud of would be self-defeating, and he didn't expect that this state between the two was caused by himself.

According to the Audi Cup schedule, Atletico Madrid will face Napoli in their first match, a semi-final of the nature of a winner, with the winner advancing to the final to compete for the title, and the loser can only play in the third or fourth final.

The commercial competitions are all in second place, but Atletico don't want to lose their first game in the Audi Cup. In a larger sense, all four teams are Champions League-level opponents, and the possibility of meeting each other in the group stage of the new season of the Champions League cannot be ruled out. It is difficult to say whether the loss of the pre-season match will affect the mentality of the main game, and if it is a life-and-death battle for qualification, it is even more difficult to say whether it will affect the psychology of both sides at a critical moment.

The so-called accumulation of small wins for big wins, the victory or defeat in a single game does not matter, but the suggestive effect on the psychology of the players is imperceptible, otherwise there will be no "nemesis" and "psychological advantage" before the game.

At 5:45 p.m. local time on August 1, the opening match of the Audi Cup was played at the Allianz Arena, and Atletico Madrid took the lead in facing Napoli.

Although Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri stressed the significance of training before the game, when it came to the pitch, both managers were the main players.

For Atletico, Simeone continued the 4-4-2 formation. Slovenian international Jan Oblak has been firmly in the starting goal, and his development in recent seasons has been a solid barrier for Atletico following Courtois' departure from Stamford Bridge. The centre-back duo was thunderous, with Uruguayan Godin and Montenegrin centre-back Savic. Felipe and Juanfran split on the left and right.

In midfield, Simeone opted for captain Gabi to partner Saul, with Belgium international Carrasco on the right and Koke on the left. Antoine Griezmann is no surprise to be in the starting line-up, and he and the striker Fernando Torres are the weapons in Atletico's defensive system.

On Napoli's side, Sarri's 4-3-3 lineup also sent Albiol, Hamsik, Insigne and other main players. At least from the starting lineup, there is no sign of any reservations from either side.

To the slight disappointment of Chinese fans, Wen Zhihao could only wait on the bench for his chance to play. It's normal to think about it, Atletico Madrid is not Vitesse, where would Wen Zhihao start the game so early. Even if the strength is in place, the tactical understanding and integration of the team are not up to the starting requirements.

What's more, from previous domestic media reports, fans also know that Wen Zhihao's role in Atletico Madrid is a shadow striker, that is, his rival is Griezmann, who shines in the Champions League......

However, CCTV's commentary on He Wei's words represents the optimism of most fans: "Wen Zhihao's temporary substitution can only show that his integration into the team is not in place, but his diligence is the most unquestionable." He was the first in the Atletico squad to prepare for the new season. I started training on my first day in Madrid. Atletico Madrid is facing a three-tier battle in the new season, and judging from the change in Simeone's position against Wen Zhihao, he will definitely have no fewer opportunities to play. ”

People with a little common sense know that Wen Zhihao will definitely not be the administrator of the water dispenser. It's just that the mood is more urgent to expect him to appear as soon as possible.

It wasn't a game for the host Bayern, and the attendance at the Allianz Arena wasn't too impressive, but that didn't stop the fans of both teams from afar from flooding the stadium with loud noise.

Since Maurizio Sarri took over, Napoli's attacking football has come into its own in Serie A, having already challenged Juventus and Roma last season, while Simeone's tactics have been efficient. Napoli have a combined advantage in terms of spectacle and stats, but it is Atletico Madrid who really create a goalscoring threat. Antoine Griezmann almost got past Reina's 10-finger pass on the edge of the game when he received a cross from Cork from the right in the early stages of the game.

However, Napoli was the third place in Serie A last season, and the overall strength should not be underestimated. The balance of the game changed subtly in the 35th minute.

Napoli's Real Madrid veteran Callejon received a cross from Insigne on the wing, and was tackled from behind by Savic at close range when he was ready to raise his foot to face Oblak's shot from close range, and the referee awarded a penalty and sent Savic off with a red card.

The Atletico Madrid fans at the scene suddenly lost their voices.

"Penalty and red card! Very unfavorable situation. Simeone will definitely be solid for the rest of the first half......"

He Wei's words have a pronounced voice-overtone.
