After the warm-up, the two teams returned to their respective locker rooms.

In the home team's dressing room, Atletico Madrid's players all had some unnatural looks on their faces.

Although it was known for a long time that Qin Shou would not appear in the starting lineup in this game, everyone still felt that they were not used to it. When the head coach announced the starting squad a day ago, everyone was surprised that Qin Shou was not selected, but there was not much reaction at that time. But when the game was about to start, everyone felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Qin Shou is definitely one of the players with the highest attendance rate at Atletico Madrid this season, and he has basically never faded out of the starting lineup in the league, and he has hardly missed important games. Coupled with Qin Shou's important position in the team, everyone is also used to Qin Shou's tandem and scheduling on the field, and suddenly Qin Shou is not there, and everyone has a feeling of being at a loss.

Although the team's training content in the past two days was to practice the tactical play of Qin Shou's absence, everyone still felt weird.

"Qin, are you really not playing?"

Even though he knew the answer, Griezmann couldn't resist asking again. There was hope and expectation in his eyes, hoping to get a different answer from Qin Shou's mouth.

It's not just him, Courtois, Godin, Turan ...... Even Costa was sneaking his eyes on him.

Unfortunately, today is not April Fool's Day, and the manager's decision is not something that can be changed.

Qin Shou understood very well what everyone was thinking, not to mention that he didn't want to start. Even if he asked Simeone for this many times, the stubborn Argentine was unmoved. In the words of the head coach, Qin Shou is injured, and he doesn't want to risk his players getting hurt because of one game, otherwise it is extremely irresponsible for a professional player.

If it weren't for Qin Shou's strong request, Simeone would have even excluded him from the bench list, and now it would have been an extrajudicial favor to let him sit on the bench. So don't **** babble.

Qin Shou felt that his injury was not a big problem at all, but he couldn't resist the head coach, so he could only accept such an arrangement.

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Qin Shou smiled bitterly to himself, then clapped his hands, encouraged everyone, and said, "Okay, don't look dejected, the game hasn't started yet, everyone looks like this." Those who don't know think we're timid before we fight. ”

"But I'm not used to it without you......" Griezmann said.

The teammates around him all nodded.

Qin Shou straightened his expression and said solemnly: "I hope you don't have such an idea to play the game, such a mentality can easily affect everyone's performance in the game." I've always been proud to be part of the team, no matter how many assists I can give, no matter how many goals I can score, but to put it bluntly, I'm just a normal player. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to do well on the pitch. ”

"Guys, we're a whole and a team. You can't just because someone isn't there, so you're out of balance. I hope you can give your best and your best level to this game. Qin Shou paused. Then he stood up and bowed slightly to everyone under the surprised gaze of everyone. "Actually, I'd like to ask you for one thing."

"Ah, please give us one thing?"

"What's the matter, Qin? Don't do that, we're not used to it. ”

"Say, Qin, your business is our business, and we will definitely do it for you."

The teammates spoke out one after another.

"I have a beautiful girlfriend ......"

Qin Shou's first sentence made the big guy grin, and the originally melancholy atmosphere in the dressing room dissipated a lot.

Qin Shou's most beautiful female police girlfriend they all know each other, but everyone is very curious, why did Qin Shou mention his police girlfriend at this time?

Ignoring everyone's inexplicable eyes, Qin Shou continued: "Everyone knows Jennifer, but she has a strict father, so I'm afraid everyone doesn't know...... In fact, the stern father told me that if I wanted to marry their daughter, then I would get at least one very important title, for example...... Champions. ”

"So......" Qin Shou smiled and said, "In order for me to marry Jennifer home smoothly, the brothers have to help me, and you must work hard to win this game!" Otherwise, the plan to marry Jennifer will have to wait for next year! ”

Qin Shou didn't tell his teammates that even if he won the Champions League, he would only meet one of the two conditions, and he would not complete the task.

The Atletico Madrid players didn't know that Qin Shou and Jennifer's father still had such a strange betting agreement, so they first shook their heads for a moment, and then a group of people burst into laughter.

"Qin, your future father-in-law is really wonderful!"

"Haha, it's funny!"

"No, I'm almost laughing straight...... I don't have to say, Qin, you just look at it, although you are not on the court for the time being, but for your lifelong happiness, the brothers will work hard! ”

"Oooo Then take out all your team-mates, get the Champions League, and ...... Oh, oh, oh, go with Qin to grab the bride! ”

"Please, guys!"

Seeing that his teammates finally forgot about the fact that they couldn't play for a while, and shifted their attention to the thing of helping him "grab the bride", Qin Shou also grinned secretly.

Using such a wonderful way to motivate the morale of his teammates, he can be regarded as the first person in world football!

"Diego, are you sure you won't let Qin start? Is that really good? ”

Outside the dressing room door, assistant coach Boggs asked Simeone.

In fact, Qin Shou did not appear in the starting lineup, let alone an Atletico player, and even the staff of the coaching staff were surprised and unaccustomed to it, and before the game was about to start, the old friend and assistant Boggs, who has been by Simeone's side since he took charge of the team, offered his advice to his boss.

"The game hasn't started yet, we can still change the roster, and the team's tactics don't need to be changed more, just need to follow the tactics with Qin as the core as before, and it's ......."

Simeone didn't listen any longer, he stretched out his hand to interrupt Boggs's words: "Okay, Boggs, this is an arrangement that has been made a long time ago, and there is no need to change it!" ”

Perhaps thinking that his tone was a little too heavy, Simeone thought for a moment, and finally added and explained: "Old man, don't you think we've been squeezing Qin all season?" Qin's attendance rate was already very high, and he hardly got time to rest, and now that he is injured, it would be a little too impersonal for us to continue to put so much pressure on him. ”

"In fact, our main goal this season is still in the league. To be honest, the Champions League has exceeded my expectations to get to this point, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a surprise. "Of course, I still have a lot of importance in the Champions League, and it's natural to be able to go further, but if we can't, we can't push it too hard. Qin and the players have done a good job. ”

That's what Simone said, and that's what he did. He knows very well that Atletico Madrid has performed very well this season, but their heritage and bench thickness cannot be compared with those century-old giants at all, and he also wants the Champions League, but he is not a greedy person, he can take the best, it doesn't matter if he can't get it, it's a big deal to come back next season. In the case of Qin Shou's injury, he still has to fight hard in the Champions League, isn't it stupid? Although they took the initiative to win the championship in the league, after all, the championship trophy has not yet arrived, and he doesn't want any accidents at the last moment.

And the most important point, Simeone really loves Qin Shou as the core of the team, his vision is not wrong from the beginning, Qin Shou will definitely be the key figure for Atletico Madrid's re-emergence and climbing to the top of Europe, he doesn't want to squeeze Qin Shou too much, even if he doesn't want to take a little risk.

That's what makes him different from Jose Mourinho.

Simeone's coaching style and tactical style of play are actually very similar to Mourinho's, both of them have the same great character, both are equally defensive-focused, and can do anything to win.

But unlike Mourinho, the Portuguese is often too tough and completely reckless to squeeze the potential of players and teams, while Simeone, although he is usually tough and ruthless, he is actually very protective of players, and he can choose to give up a lot for the sake of players, even if it is a championship, in his heart, I am afraid it is not as important as his disciples.

Overall, Simeone is actually a lot more human than Mourinho.

Boggs nodded, as if he understood something, but felt like he didn't understand anything. He didn't bother to ask again, anyway, Simeone had already made a decision, and there was no need for him, an assistant, to add to the blockage.

Looking at his confused old friend, Simone smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think about it, man, isn't it actually good?" We didn't say we were going to give up this game, Qin would definitely have a chance to play, we will fight the decisive battle, stay at the end, and it is still very possible to turn the situation around. ”

With that, Simeone tried to push the door open and enter the locker room.

However, after hearing the bursts of laughter and shouts from inside, Simeone gave up on going in to cheer everyone on.

He looked at Boggs and spread his hands: "Look, man, Qin has done a good job, I think, even if Qin doesn't start, we won't necessarily be inferior to each other." ”

Boggs also heard the excited shouts inside, and he also laughed.
