In fact, at the beginning of the season, Simeone's strategy for the team was to focus on the league and the Champions League, and as for the domestic cups, they could play if they could, and give up if they couldn't. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Atletico Madrid is not a real giant after all, with a deep heritage and thick bench thickness, and at the same time, the two-line battle is a little stretched, if it is not for the team's physical fitness is a big advantage, maybe it will not be able to hold on. If you fight on three fronts, you may face a collapse.

What people didn't expect was that the "second-tier team" with a mix of substitutes and youth team players performed exceptionally well in the Copa del Rey and passed all the way. After the team entered the semi-finals, Simeone couldn't help but pay attention to this event, and they all went to the semi-finals.

The team began to play the next game of the Copa del Rey with a regular line-up, and the results were also satisfactory, with Atletico finally reaching the final and will face Sevilla in the final match.

The Copa del Rey final was in a week's time, and the final venue was Madrid, not Calderón, but the Bernabeu, Real Madrid's home stadium.

This is actually a very disgusting thing for the Meilingers, in their own turf, the team competing for the title does not have Real Madrid, but has the rival Atletico Madrid, which makes many Real Madrid fans say that they will not go to the final at all, and they will not even watch it live on TV.

What else is there to see? Anyway, whether Atletico Madrid won the championship or Sevilla successfully reached the top, it has nothing to do with them, rather than looking uncomfortable, it is better to be out of sight and out of mind.

On the contrary, the fans of Atletico Madrid were excited. There's nothing more exciting than lifting a trophy on the territory of a rival in the city - and although the final hasn't started yet, it's nice to be able to disgust them first.

The Copa del Rey final has also caused a lot of buzz in China, as there is a high chance that two Chinese players will be on the field at the same time and playing for one team at the same time.

Xu Xin is a member of Atletico Madrid's youth team, because of his outstanding performance in the echelon, so he was promoted to play in the Copa del Rey with the first-team substitutes, and in the short playing time, he also played well. This has undoubtedly helped him to deepen the impression in the mind of manager Simeone, and he may also have the opportunity to play in the final.

And Qin Shou needless to say, the team's number one star, the absolute core, must be one of the team's starters.

If the game goes well, Xu Xin will not have a chance to play at the last moment, then, Qin Shou and Xu Xin are on the court at the same time, this is a big gimmick, enough for domestic fans to cry wolf for a while.

"It's really bullish, I didn't expect that two players from our country are playing for Atletico Madrid, and they have the opportunity to appear on the field at the same time!"

"I've seen enough, Xu Xin is also a member of the youth team, even if he enters the substitute list, it is estimated that there is not much chance of playing."

"It doesn't matter if he's big or not, I'm just looking forward to it anyway...... It's proud to think about a European team with two Chinese players on the pitch at the same time, oh oh oh, that's cool! ”

"Chinese players have successfully captured Atletico Madrid!"

"Chinese players don't explain ......"

"I'll just watch you brag quietly and don't speak!"

……

"The eighteen-person list has come out, congratulations, Xiaoxin, your name is on the list."

In Qin Shou's residence, Qin Shou and Xu Xin sat on the sofa chatting, Qin Shou smiled and said to Xu Xin on the side: "Congratulations, Xiaoxin, you can go with us to compete for the crown of the King's Cup." ”

Xu Xin's performance in the youth team is really good, so this time in the final 18-man squad, Simeone also included his name in it. Although he may not necessarily play, the manager's approach almost indicates that he wants to devote more development to the young Chinese player.

That's a good sign.

Xu Xin's expression did not show excitement, on the contrary, his face was a little solemn: "Brother Qin Shou, I ...... I felt like I was a little nervous, I should have been happy, but when I thought about what if I played in the final and my performance was poor, it was about the championship, and if I messed up, so many fans wouldn't have booed me to death, so I was worried about ......"

"What are you worried about?" Qin Shou was almost amused by Xu Xin's statement.

First, whether Xu Xin can play or not is still a matter of two things, and second, football is a team sport, even if Xu Xin plays and performs poorly, as long as the other players behave as usual, it will not be too much of a problem.

But think about it, Xu Xin is still young, and he has never experienced such a big scene as winning the championship, and recently the domestic media has regarded this final as a gimmick of crazy hype, so it is normal for Xu Xin to have psychological baggage.

Not every young player is born a big player, and many players with excellent psychological quality have also suffered losses and paid enough tuition.

"Watch more, think more, and if you have the opportunity to play, then treat it calmly. How you usually kick, when the time comes, you still kick like this. ”

This is Qin Shou's advice to him, and he can only comfort him like this, many things can only be improved and go further after experiencing them personally.

Xu Xin also understood this, although he still felt nervous at the thought of the final a few days later, but he tried his best to suppress it and ask Qin Shou for some football questions.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Time flew by and the day of the final was fast approaching, on which more than 50,000 Atletico fans poured into the Bernabeu Stadium.

This is probably the largest number of Atletico Madrid fans at the Bernabeu, in the past, Atletico Madrid came to play here, Real Madrid did not give them too many tickets, and vice versa, Real Madrid went to Calderon to play, and Atletico Madrid club did not sell too many tickets to Real Madrid fans.

This time was different, Real Madrid did not make it to the final, and most Real Madrid fans boycotted watching the match of the city's rivals, so there were not many people competing with Atletico fans on the tickets. After all, it is in the same city, which is also Atletico Madrid's home stadium, so it is common sense to be able to have so many fans come to watch the game live.

Sevilla fans also came quite a bit, about 20,000 people. The rest of the tickets were split between neutral fans and some other VIPs.

So in terms of attendance, the Bernabeu Stadium is almost full, and the stands on all sides, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, have long been full.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the starting line-ups of both teams were out, and as predicted by many media and football professionals, both sides were playing at full strength, and the importance of this game for both sides is self-evident - this is the third title of the season for Atletico Madrid, and for Sevilla, the Copa del Rey is the only trophy they can compete for in the whole of La Liga, which is dominated by Real Madrid, Barcelona, and the newly rising Atletico Madrid.

One wants to be a triple champion, and the other wants to reap the honor of the champion, so this game is bound to be a fierce battle between the dragon and the tiger.

In fact, there is still a lot of grudge between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, at least in the Copa del Rey. In the 2010 Copa del Rey final, Sevilla FC defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 to claim the title.

At that time, Atletico Madrid was still in the process of rebuilding, and if they could win the Copa del Rey, it would be a great encouragement and motivation for the team's fans.

But unfortunately, they ended up losing the game and losing the championship.

But what no one expected was that Atletico Madrid would eventually rise strongly, and after three years, they reached the final of the Copa del Rey again, and this time the final opponent was Sevilla, who beat them three years ago to lift the trophy.

So for Atletico Madrid, this can be regarded as a battle for revenge.

Of course, this time is different from the past, feng shui takes turns, Atletico Madrid is in the league and the Champions League, while Sevilla is still in the second echelon of the league, and there is not much pursuit.

The current Atletico Madrid can be called a strong side, and the balance of strength between the two sides has changed dramatically.

However, football is round, anything can happen, and just because Atletico Madrid is stronger than their opponents should dare to say that they will be able to win in the end.

Everything has to be in the game, after the game is played.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As they prepared to go out in the locker room, captain Gabby called everyone together.

He put his hands in mid-air and motioned for his teammates to put their hands on them.

There are two youth team players in the eighteen-man squad for this game, one is Xu Xin and the other is Correa.

The two had never worked with most of the first-team players, so they looked a little overwhelmed outside the crowd.

"Come on, Shin-chan." Qin Shou laughed, pulled Xu Xin over, and pulled Correa over by the way.

"Don't be nervous, just follow the big brothers, what they do, you can do it!"

Xu Xin and Correa put their hands on Gabi's hand, and the other players also put their hands on it.

"Victory!"

"Victory!!"

Gabby yelled.

Qin Shou and his teammates shouted loudly.

"Victory!"

"Victory !!"
