At the award ceremony after the game, of course, the losing side Dortmund was not the protagonist, but Liang Xin was very happy for Wen Zhihao in addition to some regrets, the two were tense on the field, but the game was over, the victory and defeat had been divided, and there was no such thing.

It's an opponent on the field, and it's a good buddy off the field.

It is impossible to say that Liang Xin is not envious, but after the game, the two chatted on WeChat, and Wen Zhihao also comforted him: "Dortmund is a strong team in the Bundesliga, and you will not have the opportunity to win the cup on the podium in the future." ”

And Wen Zhihao also gave him a very pertinent advice: "Getting closer to Shinji Kagawa will be very beneficial for you to fight for a place in the team." ”

Liang Xin didn't understand: "Why? ”

Wen Zhihao explained with a long list of texts: "They are all East Asian players, he must be more familiar with the Bundesliga and Dortmund than you, learn more from him, don't put on a fight." Although I admit that I am not used to small Japan, there must be a reason why Japanese players are blossoming in the Bundesliga. Feelings belong to feelings, and the important thing is to learn the skills. ”

After returning to Madrid from Estonia, Atletico didn't have much time to recuperate, and a week later, the Spanish Super Cup was back, with Atletico departing for Barcelona three days before kick-off. The Spanish Super Cup is a two-legged home-and-away competition, with Atletico Madrid taking on Barcelona this year. Atletico Madrid are home and away in the order of matchups.

It is worth mentioning that the rules of the Spanish Super Cup are different from those of several other major leagues, and Barcelona will not be runners-up in the league but as the runners-up of the Copa del Rey.

The Spanish media paid a lot of attention to this game, and the three new signings brought in by Atletico Madrid in the summer window did not appear in the UEFA Super Cup, so the Spanish Super Cup is likely to make its debut. At the same time, this is also the first official appearance of Barcelona in the new season, and last season there was no third-line grain, which is a losing season for a European giant like Barcelona. Valverde had already indicated in his pre-season warm-up for the U.S. Champions League that he would at least regain the league title for the new season.

And now everyone knows that although Valverde did not say it explicitly, Atletico Madrid is Barcelona's number one rival. The new season has not yet begun, and the Spanish Super Cup may provide some clues to the results of the two teams.

In the 23-man squad announced before the game between the two sides, sure enough, the players everyone is looking forward to are in the squad, Atletico Madrid's side, needless to say, among the three new signings, everyone is most looking forward to Turan, and the old boss is always the most watched drama on the football field.

……

At 7 p.m. on August 17, Spanish time, the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup was staged at the Camp Nou as scheduled.

Atletico Madrid's start, Simeone is mainly stable, three new signings are sitting on the bench, and the starting lineup is still the same as the European Super Cup a week ago.

On Barcelona's side, Valverde lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Coutinho on the right side of midfield.

At the Camp Nou, with the blessing of tens of thousands of home fans, Barcelona naturally controlled the situation on the field, Coutinho did not experience the shadow of being killed by Atletico Madrid three times last season, but he had the fighting spirit to win the first title of the new season for the team, and the Atletico Madrid back line was not familiar with his playing rhythm, so he was the best man in the game at the beginning, and in the fourteenth minute, he used the iconic world wave after the horizontal dribble at the top of the penalty area to blast Oblak's ten fingers.

However, this did not affect Atletico's mentality on the pitch, everyone knows in their hearts that this is Camp Nou and any situation is normal.

What's so scary about conceding an opening goal? Just bounce back and get back!

Atletico now have such confidence and such strength.

The motivation of the championship trophy is fundamental. The same opponent, Atletico Madrid didn't have this confidence when they were behind Barcelona away, but now everything is different.

Simeone even retreated to advance, allowing everyone to now plunge into the fence in his own half and defend the opponent's intersperse. Against Barcelona, Atletico Madrid don't even care about the time of possession, they just need to be efficient on the counter-attack......

In the first half, Barcelona laid siege to Atletico Madrid in the first half, but nothing came back except for Coutinho's brilliant shot.

Valverde clearly felt that it was not appropriate to score only one goal in the half when he was dominant, and considering that it was a 180-minute battle over two legs, he wanted to lay a good foundation for the second leg, so he replaced Sergio Busquets in midfield and replaced Dennis? Suarez continued to intensify the attack.

But this adjustment can be said to be shooting themselves in the foot, losing the barrier of the midfield, Atletico suddenly pressed heavily into the midfield in the second half and began to push and counterattack, which can directly threaten Barcelona's back line at once.

Under such an attack, it was not until the 77th minute that Atletico Madrid won a valuable away equalizer, Wen Zhihao dribbled all the way to the left side of the penalty area in the counterattack, and then passed directly diagonally into the penalty area, Costa cut in an offside position and fired a low shot to equalize.

In the final stages, although both sides were hungry to score, the score was maintained 1-1 in midfield, and Atletico took the lead with an away goal.

Five days later, the two sides battled the second round at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

The process of this game is completely different from the first leg, sitting at home, and the situation is quite confident, although most of the time it is still Barcelona in control, but Atletico Madrid in the first half of the pressure is obviously greater than the first half of the first leg, and from the first minute, the counterattack is quite sharp, Griezmann like a sharp knife straight into Barcelona's defensive hinterland.

What's even more different is that in this game, Atletico took the lead in the first half, and Griezmann took Wen Zhihao's long pass to break the deadlock.

This time, Barcelona did not have the luck of the last Atletico game, even though the coach did his best, he did not score the final equalizer.

At full time, 1:0, with an aggregate score of 2:1, Atletico Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup.

After winning two titles in a row before the start of the season, Atletico Madrid made a dream start to the new season, and He Wei did not shy away from saying what was in his heart: "I am afraid that it will be difficult for any team to snatch the title they want from such a strong Atletico Madrid in the new season." ”

In the new season of European football, most fans can already anticipate the general trend, a new king, will once again go the road of conquest to defend honor......

PS: It's over, and I'll send a testimonial and a preview of the new book later.
