There was still more than half an hour before the start of the game, but Calderón Stadium was already full. The four stands, which can accommodate more than 60,000 people, have long been covered in red and white, and fans sing and dance in the stands, flags and slogans and banners flutter in the air, and as far as the eye can see, there is a sea of red.

Both teams are on the field for the final warm-up before the start of the tournament. After the play around the square outside the stadium, the players of Atletico Madrid were particularly excited, especially the newly joined players, who were extremely active during the warm-up activities, as if they were full of inexhaustible energy, and wanted to start the game immediately and fully release their enthusiasm.

It's good to have a high level of motivation and that's why Simeone is very supportive of the team's tradition, but there are pros and cons to being too excited, with the upside being able to get the team into the game quickly, and the downside being that the players are overexcited and prone to making mistakes in the game.

It didn't take long for the warm-up to end, and the assistant coach led the players in the direction of the locker room, and Simeone took advantage of this moment to call Qin Shou to his side.

"Sir." Qin Shou shouted.

Simeone didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "You also know the situation of the team, because of injuries, we can only send a number of substitutes and new players. The chemistry between the new signings and the old players is a big concern and I need you to string the team together as a whole. And according to the situation on the field, control the rhythm. No problem, right? ”

"No problem."

Qin Shou replied very cheerfully, he has been doing such things for a long time, he constantly uses passes and runs to make the team echo each other in the front, middle and back lines. But the effect is average, and this is also something that can't be helped. The run-in time is too short, and the new signings want to fully integrate into the team's tactical system and become proficient in cooperation, which is not an overnight thing, and can only be slowly accumulated over time.

"I understand that at this stage I want the team to be completely integrated and have a good fight. It's hard. But......" Simeone nodded and shook his head helplessly, "But there is no time, the new season has begun, we can only run in the league while running-in, and use the actual battle to bring the old with the new." ”

Simeone was a little helpless, in fact, in his original plan. After the start of the new season, the main team will still be the main team of last season's champions, and the new signings will be used as substitutes, and they will be given more opportunities when they are more integrated into the team. However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and because of many factors, he had to let these new signings take the lead so early.

"Fortunately, the opponent in the first game of the new season is not strong, so it shouldn't cause us too much trouble." Simone said to Qin Shou. "Even if there is trouble, I believe in our strength. It's also completely solvable. ”

As he spoke, he added, "That's good news." ”

"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do."

Simeone nodded, then waved his hand again. Qin Shou understood, turned around and walked towards the player's tunnel.

The time quickly came to 7:30. After making the final arrangements and explanations in the dressing room, the Atletico players returned to the pitch and exchanged flags and picked sides with the visiting team Levante, and the two teams were divided into two sides. The referee raised his hand to the time, and then "forced~" and blew the whistle for the start of the game.

"Guys! Dear Atletico Madrid fans, good evening! Welcome to the opening match of the 2012-2013 Spanish Primera Division! This is the first La Liga match of the season against Atletico Madrid, who are playing at home, and Levante, who are coming to challenge. I'm the home commentator Chevan. Rodriguez! ”

"The game has just started and both teams are still in the tentative stage, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides...... On Levante's side, the goalkeeper is No. 1 Kellor. Keylor Navas, the four defenders are Carabellas, David. Navarro ......"

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, lined up in a 4-5-1 formation, with Courtois in goal, and Gamès, Godin, Simonez, Felipe in the back four; In the midfield, the two midfielders are Gabi and new signing Nikoz, Koke and Vazquez are on the two wings, and Qin's position is relatively forward, between the striker and the forward midfield; Up front, Atletico's biggest finding last season, French teenager Antoine Griezmann as a lone arrow. ”

"From this starting lineup, it can be seen that Atletico Madrid's attrition at the beginning of the new season is a bit powerful, with three new signings in the starting lineup, and a Simonez, who transferred in the second half of last season and didn't play much at all. Except for the goalkeeper, half of the positions have been replaced. Whether the team can maintain the same chemistry as last season is a serious question. ”

"As for Levante, the lineup is relatively neat. Although Levante has not been a strong team in La Liga, their results in the past two seasons are not too bad, at least they have enough points for relegation early. And in their lineup, Keylor Navas, David. Navarro, Pepe. Diop and Angel are both well-known players in La Liga, and their strength is not bad, especially goalkeepers Navas and Navarro, the former is said to have been favored by Real Madrid and almost transferred to Real Madrid this summer, while the latter, his defense is extremely fierce and tough, and some media once called him 'the first villain in La Liga'...... Although Atletico Madrid is clearly stronger than their opponents overall, they must be cautious! ”

"Of course, I believe that with the cheers and cheers of more than 60,000 Atletico Madrid fans, the final result must be Atletico Madrid winning the game, getting the first win of the new season, and making a good start to the league!"

Accompanied by the voice of the commentator, the broadcast camera also swept over the red stands all over the mountains, and countless fans were in their respective positions, waving scarves and flags in their hands, or clenching their fists and shouting loudly, while in the south stands, the camera swept the faces of a line of young people with their chins propped up, frowning or smiling.

"Oh oh, what do I seem to see? Ha, that's right, I saw Juanfran, Miranda, Costa, Thiago...... And Carrasco, who just joined the team this summer. For the first game of the new season, these Atletico Madrid players who could not play were also very concerned, although they could not play to contribute to the team, they still came to the scene and chose to cheer for the team in another way! ”

In the camera, Juanfran is looking at the stadium with a look of anticipation on his face, while Miranda is smiling, he sees the camera footage sweeping the stands from time to time, so he always maintains a good image of his star. Costa, on the other hand, was lying on his back with a grin, the expression on his face as bad as ever.

Thiago and Carrasco are depressed - indeed quite depressed, because of the team's injury problems, these two are a substitute and a new signing, and they are likely to play as starters in the first game of the new season, but in training, the two of them also unexpectedly suffered a little injury, and finally the opportunity to start disappeared, so they can only enter the injury list, sit in a row with a group of teammates who are sympathetic, eat fruits, and act as spectators by the way.

"Do you think we're going to be in trouble for this game? After all, many main players can't play, although the strength of the new signings is very good, but the cooperation and tacit understanding is a big problem, I am afraid that there will inevitably be mistakes in the game. ”

Juan Fran looked at the game that had already started and asked Miranda next to him.

Miranda didn't look back, he smiled at the camera that swept over, and answered: "Probably not, anyway, our strength is much better than the away team." ”

Costa was still lying on his back in his seat, exclaiming, "The future is worrying! Without me on the field to contain the opposing team's defenders, the victory or defeat will be five or five. ”

The meaning of Costa's words is simple and clear, without me, the strength of the team has dropped by at least more than half.

Juan Fran and Miranda reacted surprisingly unanimously to the stinky fart Costa, rolling their eyes, and then directly choosing to ignore it.

"Maybe there will be some twists and turns, but in the end we will win." Thiago said with certainty, he glanced at Costa next to him, and whispered, "Because Qin is on the field." ”

"Huh, sycophant!" Costa snorted coldly, "He's not here, what's the use of you slapping his ass?" You think you're a prophetic emperor octopus! ”

Well, the answer was so strong that Thiago was speechless and could only keep silent.

Juanfran and Miranda chuckled, and Carrasco wanted to say something, but turned his head to find that several "seniors" around him did not pay attention to him, so he could only hold back the words that came to his mouth, and continued to sit in a row with everyone and eat fruits.

It's just that less than ten minutes after the game, the eyes of Juanfran and others suddenly looked at Thiago, and Thiago himself was eager to slap himself with a big mouth.

He had just "predicted" that there would be twists and turns in the game, and the twists and turns were instantaneous.

On the field, in the eighth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid had an accident in an attack, Griezmann collided with Levante central defender Navarro in a header scramble in the penalty area, and fell to the ground in pain.
