[PS: The Uruguayan central defender in the Atletico Madrid team was written as Gimenez before, and then I saw that a lot of information was translated into Jimenez, so I changed it below, and the previous one will also be changed. 】

The week before the start of the league was a good opportunity for Simeone to polish his tactics.

Simeone is still more assured of the defensive system that he has carefully built for several seasons, after all, there is no fluctuation in the core skeleton, Godin, Savic, Jimenez are all veteran players, and the only fresh blood is the French fullback Lucas Hernandez, who was promoted from the B team, is 21 years old, but his performance is quite outstanding, and he is good in attack and defense on the side, after a summer of training, he has successfully impressed Simeone, because he is a left-footed player, he is expected to become Felipe's successor in the future, guarding Atletico Madrid's left side of the defense.

Simeone's focus is on attack, which he has been doing in training since he came up with the idea of having Wen and Antoine Griezmann coexist on the pitch against Brighton.

How do we coexist? Simeone's design is as bold as his character, resembling a kind of "double shadow" tactic.

The so-called "double shadow striker" is to add a shadow striker on the basis of the original only one shadow striker around the striker, swim near the penalty area on both sides, ready to receive the ball from the striker at any time, insert into the penalty area from both directions, and disrupt the opponent's defense line to the greatest extent, which is equivalent to a variant of the winger's inward attack in the 4-3-3 formation.

According to Simeone's assumption, Wen Zhihao's role in this formation is more important than Griezmann's, because Wen Zhihao himself has one more organizational ability, so Simeone hopes that Wen Zhihao will take on the role of No. 7 and No. 10 at the same time in this style of play, not only to be ready to insert his own attack, once the attack is not smooth, his position will move back, assist the back to control the ball first, and take on the task of organization.

The idea is good, but after a few days of training, Simeone found that it is not realistic to apply this tactic to the game, first of all, the striker's ability to hold the ball is very high, and now Atletico Madrid is most lacking is a bridgehead type of center, Torres and Gameiro are based on awareness and foot skills, and increasing the number of strikers from two to three will inevitably weaken the midfield position, which is also what Simeone has been worried about.

The latter problem is relatively easy to solve, and the internal digestion problem is not big, that is, the lack of a bridgehead center, which gives Simeone a headache.

He misses Diego Costa, a former pro who has not had a good time at Chelsea and is struggling to leave Chelsea before the transfer window closes.

When the two coincidences collided, Simeone already had an idea, and after training he went straight to the office of the club's president, Cerezo. And the luckiest thing is that the heroes between the two see something similar......

Wen Zhihao in addition to following the team for tactical training, his separate strength training is still insisting, Wen Zhihao knows that this is his own shortcoming, if you want to continue to be as beautiful as the Eredivisie in this league, you have to pay as you did when you first entered the industry, and use sweat to smooth out your shortcomings little by little.

"Professor" Meenders was surprised by Wen Zhihao's persistence and dedication, it was only a week's initial training, Wen Zhihao started from scratch, and now he can barely complete one-third of the training plan, although there is no qualitative change, but Wen Zhihao's muscles are obviously much tighter than before training, which is the source of strength.

When Simeone communicated with Meenders in private, he kindly reminded: "Professor, Wen's strength training will be maintained at this level for the time being, and the league will start soon, I don't want him to not play, but get injured in training, which will affect his first season." ”

Meendez said helplessly: "Go and tell him, this kid is not very old, but his personality is stubborn, and he forces himself to challenge new heights every day." I persuaded him, and he said that you said that he would only be able to gain a foothold here if he had completed the above tasks, and he said that he had never lost. ”

Simeone put his arm on his shoulders and said to Mendez, "Professor, show your majesty." I'm sure you can stop his madness. Like I ......"

Simeone's eyes widened, and he made a very flamboyant grimace with a very pompous expression, making both of them laugh at the same time.

In addition to his daily training, Wen Zhihao also has to take Spanish courses with teachers from language training institutions in the evenings. The teacher is also Chinese, surnamed Fang, and it is more convenient for compatriots to communicate with each other in language, and Wen Zhihao has long considered this. After a two-hour lesson every night, Wen Zhihao had mastered the skills of Spanish after a week, and Mr. Fang couldn't help but praise: "Q is the fundamental difference." ”

……

On the 17th, after the end of the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga officially released the final version of the first team registration list of each team, and two days later, on the 19th, the first round of La Liga officially began.

There were just two matches on the first matchday of the first round, with Leganés beating Alaves 1-0 in the opener, followed by a narrow 1-0 win over Las Palmas in Valencia.

The second match day of the first round on the 20th is of little significance to the Spanish and Madrid media, the only highlight is Atletico Madrid's new season debut, but the opponent is only promoted Magrona, La Liga experts have predicted how many goals Atletico Madrid will win, not thinking about the outcome at all, most of the eyes are still focused on the season debut of Barcelona and Real Madrid tomorrow.

Thousands of miles away, the Chinese media and fans have paid Atletico as much attention as Real Madrid and Barcelona. Whether Wen Zhihao can make his La Liga debut has whetted the appetite of all the media and fans.

Before the game, Atletico Madrid's eighteen-man squad, Wen Zhihao was among them, and the Chinese media immediately Cage's best YY attribute, posts similar to "Wen Zhihao is expected to make his debut" and "China will welcome the historic debut of La Liga on the first day" appeared one after another. At least in terms of pre-match momentum, the Chinese media have allowed Wen Zhihao to overwhelm Griezmann in an all-round way.

However, no matter how much the media blows, it is useless, the arrangement of the head coach is king. The starting line-up was announced an hour before Atletic, and Antoine Griezmann was still the starter.

Most fans will laugh at the optimism of the media, Wen Zhihao has just arrived, if he can squeeze out Griezmann's main position smoothly, it is estimated that there will be a lot of "insider theory" or "conspiracy theory" that will prevail.

Chinese fans sitting in front of the screen watching the game are somewhat evil, hoping that Atletico Madrid will not play too smoothly, and even be scored first, and Wen Zhihao will have a greater chance of debuting.

The minds of tens of millions of fans are a powerful force that can magically work even when they are thousands of miles away.

In the 21st minute, Stuani scored the first goal in La Liga history for Girona, a turn that surprised all the so-called experts.

But the aftermath of the first shock was not yet over, and four minutes later, it was Stuani's header who scored twice.

In less than half an hour, Atletico Madrid actually fell behind the promoted Magrona 0:2!

In fact, if it weren't for Oblak's must-have goal on the goal line, Atletico would have been three goals down within half an hour.

When Girona extended their lead to two goals, the media were looking forward to a shocking upset in the first round of La Liga.
