Located in the Spanish capital city of Madrid, the Calderón Stadium is the main stadium of Atletico Madrid. In the southwest of Madrid, there is a river called Manzanares, and the Calderón Stadium is located on the banks of the Manzanares River, which carries the glory and dreams of the Atletico Madrid people.

At this historic stadium, Atletico Madrid has won an intercontinental trophy, three league trophies, six domestic cup trophies, and countless other glory.

But it was also here that Atletico Madrid was tragically relegated to the second division, and the scene of thousands of fans holding lighters around the stadium will forever become the pain and pride of Atletico Madrid fans, and the fire illuminates the hope of Atletico Madrid and the future of this stadium.

In fact, the Estadio Calderón was originally called the Estadio Manzanares, also named after its location on the banks of the Manzanares River, where fans honored Vincent, the greatest president in the history of Atletico Madrid. Calderón, so in 1971 the name of the stadium was changed to "Vincent." Calderón".

In the 80s, Calderón Stadium has undergone many renovations and renovations, and today Calderón Stadium is one of the best and most advanced stadiums in the world, with the most advanced roof design and floor heating system in Europe, and a huge grandstand on all sides, which is large enough to accommodate 54,851 fans. In 2003, the Calderón Stadium was voted a five-star football stadium by UEFA.

It can be said that this is a world-class course with a long history and glory.

But the fans of Atletico Madrid are not satisfied, for them, their home stadium Calderón is the most beautiful and greatest stadium in the world, so their favorite team must also be the greatest and best team in the world.

It is undeniable that Atletico Madrid is a powerhouse in La Liga, but it is still a long way from the world-class giants.

Atletico fans are never discouraged, and every season they are looking forward to the team sweeping the league and dominating the top of the league, thus starting the team's road to the giants.

Today, the same is true.

The start of the new season of the league means that for all Atletico Madrid fans, a new hope has come, and they will once again hit the road with expectation and glory!

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

"This is a stadium full of glory and dreams!"

"It's a crowd you'll never forget!"

"It's a place where you give everything and want to give back to the fans!"

On the afternoon of the match, a bus carrying all the players of Atletico Madrid came slowly.

Captain Gabi sat at the end of the bus, and next to him were Qin Shou and Courtois. Like a big brother next door, he acted as a tour guide, smiling and introducing everything here, the fans here, the stadium here, from the past to the present, from glory to the abyss, plus a few family treasures one by one, not so much in introduction, but in memory.

Courtois is like a schoolboy in class, listening carefully to the captain's story with his eyes wide open, and when it comes to excitement, Courtois seems to be completely infected, which will make Atletico Madrid's victory cheer and also cry out for Atletico Madrid's relegation.

Qin Shou just sat quietly, Gabi's low voice ringing in his ears, but his eyes fell out of the window.

On both sides of the road, at least thousands of Atletico Madrid fans have gathered, wearing the red and white striped shirts of Atletico Madrid's home stadium, waving Atletico scarves and banners with slogans in their hands, and many fans have their faces painted with the Atletico team emblem.

Smiles and anticipation were written on everyone's cheeks, and everyone cheered or sang in high spirits.

When the bus appeared in front of them, the fans were boiling. They followed the back of the bus, or on both sides of the bus, shouting at the players inside. Some people slapped the car, some gave thumbs up to the car, and some held up their portraits and slogans to the window.

Fans are showing their love and support for the team in their own way.

Some Atletico players were not surprised by such a scene, and their faces showed pride, a most sincere emotion of being an Atletico player, and they opened the window, stuck their faces out of the window, and waved vigorously to the fans.

The emotions of the fans were even hotter, some shouted the names of the waving players, and some even cried tears of joy with excitement.

What the fans need is really simple, a small look, a small gesture, can make them feel a lot of happiness.

And a professional player, in addition to making money and becoming famous, should shoulder more, for example, fighting for glory, fighting for supporting his cute fans!

Although Qin Shou has not been in professional football for a long time, he has played for many professional teams, such as the New York Red Bulls, the Premier League Arsenal, and now Atletico Madrid.

In his opinion, each club has its own past, its own glory, and the story may be different, but what is the same is that they all have a group of the most loyal and die-hard fans.

The fans all have their own beliefs.

For Atletico Madrid fans, Qin Shou has a different feeling. In the United States, where fans are just beginning to embrace the sport of football, the word fanaticism is not appropriate to describe them, they are more of a novelty mentality. In England, Arsenal fans are frenzied, and their performances can only be described as frenzied, both off and off the pitch. This is also due to the general environment in the United Kingdom, which is a country with a huge passion for football, and their professional league is also very hot.

The thousands of Atletico Madrid fans who gathered around the bus and followed the car closely also made Qin Shou see the crazy side of these fans. In addition to this, Qin Shou also saw something called "persistence".

Yes, it's persistence.

Atletico Madrid is definitely not a big team, even in their best moments, they failed to win the Champions League trophy and stand at the top of Europe. In the past ten years, Atletico Madrid's results have been even more ups and downs, and they were once on the verge of relegation.

But in the most difficult times, the fans are still watching and helping each other, always full of hope for the future, a desire for the future.

The supporters of each team have their own beliefs and persistence, and so do the fans of Atletico Madrid.

It's a love that goes deep into the marrow.

There is no longer longer a lasting love in the world than perseverance.

Looking at the excited or crying faces on the faces of the fans outside the car, Qin Shou felt the meaning of persistence for the first time.

As captain Gabi said, there is a group of lovely fans who will make you have to give everything in return to them.

For the first time, Qin Shou also felt the importance of the anticipation and hope contained in the eyes of the fans, and from the moment he put on the red and white striped shirt, he had to take on such a responsibility.

Gabi and Courtois were still "reminiscing about the past eventful years", but Qin Shou twisted his body and opened the window next to him with his hand.

Qin Shou's actions attracted the attention of Gabi and Courtois, and Courtois even had a smile on his face, he thought that Qin Shou was infected by his teammates, and he also wanted to stick his head out to interact with the fans.

Qin Shou really wanted to interact with the fans.

Just not the wave of Courtois's imagination.

Qin Shou stretched his head out of the window with a solemn face, his hands clenched into fists, also exposed.

The fans naturally discovered Qin Shou's movements, and the cheers and exclamations rose higher and higher.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of the European Super Cup three days ago, although Qin Shou has not been in the team for a long time, for Atletico Madrid fans, Qin Shou is already a hero in their minds, so when Qin Shou appeared, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Oh, oh, it's Qin! China Qin! ”

"Are my eyes spent? I saw Qin! That Qin, who scored a hat-trick in the Super Cup! ”

"Qin Ke is the most expensive reinforcement for the team this summer, and today I finally saw the real person!"

"Guys, shout up, let Qin hear us, let Qin know that we welcome him warmly! Qin—"

"Qin-Qin-"

"Qin, we are your fans! You've brought us the championship, but it's not enough, please keep winning the championship for us! Qin ......"

……

The fans shouted wildly.

Qin Shou calmed down, he glanced at the fans who were full of eagerness and expectation, his clenched fists shook violently, and his mouth suddenly roared.

"Victory—victory!"

The noisy scene was still boiling, but Qin Shou's roar was extremely clear to the ears of every fan.

Everyone was a little stunned.

But then came ecstasy, and then even more cheers.

The fans are not stupid, they understand the meaning of Qin Shou's roar.

It's a promise.

Qin Shou promised that he wanted nothing but victory.

"Victory! Victory! ”

"Qin said, we want to win!"

"We believe in your promise, Qin! We look forward to you delivering on your promises, remember, victory! ”

"We don't want anything but victory!"

The scene seemed to burst into flames, and the noisy and chaotic shouts gradually disappeared, replaced by uniform shouts: "Victory!" ”

"Victory!" "Victory!" "Victory"

Such shouts were heard in the square outside the stadium.

Qin Shou retracted his body into the carriage, ignoring the surprised or questioning gazes of his teammates, and slowly closed his eyes.

His fists clenched again without anyone noticing - he did what he said, and he wanted to win this game!

The bus slowly drove into the Calderón stadium amid the cheers of the fans, and when the cheers and shouts gradually faded away, Qin Shou did not expect that his words would become a tradition before the Atletico Madrid game in the years to come.

Fans and players alike will shout victory before the game to express their determination to win!
