At the end of the international break, the internationals of the various national teams returned to their clubs with different moods. For some club coaches, in addition to the physical condition of the international players is a big test, they also have to take on the role of psychological counsellors, helping players to get out of the shadow of the national team's defeat.

However, Simeone has no such trouble, and Atletico Madrid's national teams are all traditional powerhouses that are basically destined to enter the World Cup, and after everyone in the first team returns, they can strive for the shortest possible time to devote to the preparation of the league.

Four days later, Atletico's opponents will be the mighty Barcelona, and Atletico are taking it very seriously, and this is not just talking, Atletico Madrid's hierarchy has issued a must-kill order for this game, and they must win at home to keep their hopes of winning the title alive.

Atletico Madrid have 15 points from four wins and three draws in the first seven league games, and the gap between Barcelona at the top of the table is as much as eight points, and if they lose at home, the gap will reach more than 10 points, and Atletico can basically give up any idea of the title in advance.

The new season has just begun, and Simeone certainly can't accept being reduced to a title contender early, but the good news is that the two most important injuries, Wen Zhihao and Godin, have recovered and are fully ready for the next game after being confirmed by the team doctor.

The teammates who haven't seen each other for many days reunite, but Wen Zhihao has become the object of everyone's ridicule.

"Haha, Wen, you look more joyful, I like it!" Griezmann pointed to the bruised marks on the corners of Wen Zhihao's eyes and laughed.

"Well, indeed. It almost became a panda eye, but unfortunately it was only a little bit. Torres made up for it.

"Wen, it seems that God still has mercy on you, I know that you haven't found a girlfriend yet, if you become a panda eye, it is estimated that you will die in the peach blossom, fortunately in misfortune!"

Wen Zhihao protested beside him: "Hey, are you really embarrassed to bully me as a minor, people like me can't find a girlfriend?" I don't need the big killer trick of appearance to conquer beauties, it's enough to rely on my ability. ”

Torres coughed dryly next to him: "Ahem...... Wen, it is necessary for me to use the experience of people who have come before me to tell you that the love field is not the same as the court, these are two different things. ”

Wen Zhihao stared at Torres and asked, "What if I find a female football player?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and then gave Wen Zhihao a thumbs up: "Wen, I just found out that your taste is really heavy." ”

In the impression of these players, there are only two images of women's football players: the image of a black girl and a chartered woman with five big and three thick, and they have nothing to do with beauties at all.

"What do you mean? There are also beautiful women in women's football players, right? Wen Zhihao disagreed.

At this time, the coaching staff notified everyone to gather on the court, and everyone immediately fled from Wen Zhihao, retching, and really didn't dare to compliment Wen Zhihao's aesthetic taste.

Wen Zhihao slowly followed everyone to the court, and when he was chatting with everyone just now, an impressive face popped up in his mind strangely, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

I also had an embarrassing affair with her, and I haven't been in touch for so long, so I seem to be concerned about it when I have time...... It's just a friend.

……

The match date is approaching, the focus of the media is on the two teams of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, the focus of the eighth round of La Liga, all the media that own the broadcast rights of La Liga have taken this game as a key live broadcast time, this game is not only Atletico Madrid's business, even Real Madrid fans are temporarily on Atletico Madrid's side, against Barcelona together.

Although Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid do not play against each other, Real Madrid and Barcelona are rivals for a century, and this season Barcelona is working hard to regain the league title, and Real Madrid is currently only in third place. Real Madrid fans are hoping that Atletico will be able to hold Barcelona back. It is called "Defending the Honour of Madrid Together".

The enemy of an enemy is a friend, and that's never true. However, the real desire of Real Madrid fans is for the two teams to play a draw, and Real Madrid will take the opportunity to reap the benefits.

The Wanda Metropolitano Stadium was completely packed, but interestingly, the three colors could be clearly distinguished. The red and white striped Atletico fans are the vast majority, and next to the neutral zone of Atletico Madrid fans, there are hundreds of fans wearing Real Madrid uniforms, and the match between the two rivals has attracted great attention from Real Madrid's match. The Barcelona fans in the red and blue stripes are separated from each other, which is interesting, and it looks like Real Madrid fans are in the middle of two groups of fans to prevent conflict and make peace.

Simeone once again told the players to base themselves on defense first in this game: "Barcelona are very good at attacking, although it is our home stadium, they will definitely perform strongly, this is their genes, their pride, but it is also our opportunity!" Attacking will take most of their energy, and every opportunity will be taken to sneak up on their back. Remember, don't concede a goal in the opening game, that's the premise of everything. ”

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde's set-up was the complete opposite: "Attack! Offensive! Don't be afraid of Atletico Madrid's defense. The name of the Iron and Blood Line is nothing more than a paper tiger in the face of your firepower. ”

Paulinho sat between Busquets and Pique, he really wanted to start in this game, he heard that his former teammates during the Evergrande period had played an important role under Simeone, and he also scored many wonderful goals, he wanted to compete with Wen Zhihao and experience for himself how strong Wen Zhihao really was, but Valverde still trusted Rakitic and Busquets more, and he could only be used as a substitute in the second half.

The three of them sat together, Paulinho listened to his teammates' chat before the game and said that Atletico Madrid mentioned Griezmann and Torres the most, and he was a little uneasy, and quietly pulled the two next to him and said: "The coach is really careless, Atletico Madrid also has a player who played the main team and scored goals when he first arrived this year, and he didn't mention a word." ”

"Is it necessary? I'm not going to give him a chance to score, no matter how strong he is. Pique's words smacked of confidence, but not conceit. After all, he is one of the top central defenders in the world, and he has this capital and confidence.

Paulinho frowned slightly: "Then you have to be careful, he is the best Chinese player I have ever seen, we have been teammates, I know him very well...... Oh, you've suffered from him, too, but I guess you forgot. ”

Pique was immediately dissatisfied: "I can actually have a Chinese player to make me suffer!" Have I ever played against him? ”

Paulinho added without hurry: "The year before last in Japan, in the Club World Cup, the Chinese who used feints on you to create points and complete goals. ”

"So what, it's just a coincidence, he didn't have such a chance when he met me."

Pique was a little excited when he said this, proving that he remembered Wen Zhihao and the whole process of that penalty, as a player of his level, it was indeed a serious mistake to stretch his foot at that time. Top players tend to be very conscious of their own mistakes, especially mistakes of principle.

Paulinho said to the two very seriously: "When facing him, it's best not to be careless, don't blame me for not reminding you if you suffer." ”

Ps: Today I promise two shifts, the second shift is in the evening, and there is a class in the afternoon, good morning everyone.
