In the last moments of preparation before the start of the game, Simeone was the last to walk into the locker room, closed the door and glanced at all the players who were preparing for the game, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Wen! ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Wen Zhihao reflexively looked up quickly, and saw Simeone leaning against the door, his hands around his chest, and his face was not good.

Including Wen Zhihao himself, he didn't know what he did wrong to make Simeone unhappy, could it be that he was playing cool on the court just now, and Simone felt that he was not serious?

Probably not. Relaxed before the game, Simeone himself has taught the young players more than once this secret to their own high performance.

The teammates all felt that something new had happened, and Wen Zhihao, who has always been very liked by Simeone, is estimated to be unlucky.

Wen Zhihao looked at Simeone with a confused expression, and just wanted to speak, Simeone's angry words came into his ears: "You are very sure of winning Barcelona, right?" ”

Wen Zhihao was stunned for half a second, his head shaking like a rattle. At this time, the smart thing to do is to deny it, self-righteousness and nod to admit it, which is SB behavior.

Simeone then asked: "So can you guarantee 100 per cent goals, or blow out their midfielders and defenders?" ”

Wen Zhihao continued to shake his head, squeezed out a smile and said, "Boss, don't be joking, okay?" That's Barcelona! I'm not narcissistic enough to feel like chopping melons and vegetables against them just because I scored a lore ball. ”

"Do you think I'm joking?" Simeone's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he yelled at Wen Zhihao: "Then your performance just now is just to show your personal charm?" Or do you think this game can be handled casually? Don't you think your performance will attract more emphasis on defense and bring the team into a more passive situation? ”

Wen Zhihao didn't say a word for a long time, he really didn't expect this.

Simeone glanced at him and said: "Barcelona started this time with Paulinho and Sergio Busquets, you can ask for more blessings." If you can play with these two guys, I'll act like nothing happened. ”

Wen Zhihao knows that Simeone still has the second half of the sentence, if he can't play at a normal level, or if he is completely frozen. Simeone certainly won't want him to feel better after the game.

A huge mountain-like pressure suddenly pressed on Wen Zhihao's heart. One is the world's No. 1 midfielder, the other is a Brazil international, a former team-mate who knows him best. With the joint strangulation of these two, it is not easy to get a stable space to dribble the ball. Want to be in a no-man's land?

Difficult! Hard! Even Wen Zhihao has no confidence at all. But he had to do it. Otherwise, with Simone's style, he could have tortured him to the point that this lesson would be deeply engraved in his bones. In layman's terms, practice to peel off the skin!

Before appearing, Wen Zhihao said to everyone: "You are my eldest brother, I am the youngest here, you must not bear to see me being trained by the leader to lie on the training ground like a dead dog, right?" So please run more on the pitch so that I have more opportunities to pass the ball. A great test of friendship, ha! ”

Both Griezmann and Costa nodded, and they didn't have to say anything. Thomas also patted his chest and promised: "You put your heart in your stomach." What do I do? Specially for you after the break! You just pass the ball to both of them, and if you lose the ball, I promise to get it back for you! ”

Under the leadership of the referee team, the two sides officially entered the Camp Nou stadium, and the more than 99,000 fans in the stadium let out a deafening cheer, and Wen Zhihao felt that his eardrums were about to burst.

After a set of fixed procedures, the referee blew the opening whistle at 11 o'clock Beijing time on time. It is very suitable for the viewing time of Chinese fans, most night owls have not gone to bed yet, and do not need to be woken up by the alarm clock and get up from the bed to watch the game.

……

Although it was an away game against Barcelona, Simeone did not put a bus and still used a 4-3-3 formation to the end. The centre-back combination opted for Godin and Savic, the strongest pairing, and the left-back position fielded the powerful and physical youngster Lucas? Hernandez, right-back is still the experienced Juanfrán. The midfield back three is Thomas in the middle, Saul and Augusto? Fernandez is on the left and right. Wen Zhihao, Antoine Griezmann and Costa form the strongest firepower. Although the attacking formation is more risky, the cost of a rash change may be the same as in the first half of the game against Sevilla.

On the other hand, at Barcelona, Valverde has obviously put a lot of brains into the arrangement. There is no change in the formation, it is still 4-3-3, but individual positions have been adjusted, compared with the lineup that faced Atletico Madrid for the first time, except for Paulinho's start, which was an arrangement made for Wen Zhihao. At centre-back, Pique was replaced by the more experienced Mascherano. The two centre-backs who have participated in the World Cup final have very different styles, and I am afraid that no one can compare with them in terms of experience.

Valverde pursued attacking pace, with Dembele starting as a right winger. To the teenager Lucas? Hernandez, for example, is under a lot of pressure.

Barcelona were eager to take control of the game as soon as possible, and launched a frenzied onslaught at the Atletico goal from the start, with Messi and Rakitic threatening the goal twice in the opening two minutes, but Oblak got into the groove quickly and kept the ball firmly under him.

These two attacks made tens of thousands of Barcelona fans see the determination of the home team, and the cheers and bouncing became more violent. The Camp Nou is like a small earthquake. Fortunately, the club's stadium hardware maintenance is still in place, otherwise the on-site security is really worried about whether this intensity will collapse the stands.

In such an atmosphere, the game is also a kind of interference for the players on both sides, and any shouts will be instantly drowned out by the huge decibel created by the fans, and they can only rely on physical communication and the tacit understanding of the usual hearts to judge the intentions of their teammates.

The fans at Camp Nou are dedicated. Every attack by the home team is rewarded with rhythmic cheers, and every time Atletico get the ball, there must be an overwhelming boo. Especially when Wen Zhihao gets the ball, it will be mixed with the sound of whistling and cheering. In the hearts of Barcelona fans, Wen Zhihao is like a thorn in the side, and his shooting performance before the game made every home team fan feel deeply threatened. Cheering for the inverted lottery is also unturned, even harder than cheering for the home team.

The various noises coming from all directions made Wen Zhihao feel very bad. Although he tried to put all the impact aside and put himself into the game. But it's like someone hissing with a horn in their ears, and it's really hard to get your full attention.

In the opening stage, Wen Zhihao did not do much in his individual performance, which affected Atletico's overall attack, and was almost suppressed by Barcelona in the first ten minutes. Simeone's face was getting darker, and that's what he's really worried about. Wen Zhihao's excitement was stimulated too early in the series of shots before the game, which was not a good thing for the game.

But now that there is no one to help him, Simeone can only hope that Wen Zhihao can rely on his own game experience to adapt to the atmosphere of the away game as soon as possible. His relationship with the whole team, it is no exaggeration to say that one is prosperous and one is lost.
