Throughout the beginning of August, Atletico Madrid's players are preparing for the new season, and the training content is mainly based on physical reserves, after all, after a break of more than a month, whether it is the original Atletico Madrid players, or the new newcomers, the physical condition is naturally impossible to adjust to the best state.

Football is a very volatile and extremely physically demanding sport, a good body and abundant physical fitness play a vital role in the whole season, coupled with Atletico Madrid's full-court pressing tactical system, the physical demand is more stringent, so Simeone's first task is to adjust the physical condition of the players to the best.

Simeone doesn't like the way he trains to take the team to other countries or even other continents, and in his opinion, this kind of zip-up method is useless, in addition to costing the club's manpower and material resources, it is also a waste of energy and physical strength of the players.

The so-called "overseas training" is better than overseas travel, which has no merit at all.

However, it is not enough to just carry out recovery training, after all, the team now has a lot of newcomers, which is bound to have an impact on the original team structure, at least in terms of team cooperation and tacit understanding, it is very problematic.

To solve such a problem, we can only cultivate the tacit understanding between players in training, and of course, actual combat is also an excellent way to cultivate team tacit understanding.

As the clock ticked into mid-August, Simeone was scouting the team for a warm-up opponent three seasons earlier.

They are an amateur team called Compluton's local team in the city of Madrid.

It's said to be an amateur team, but this team is very famous in the local area, because it is a team composed entirely of college students, and many retired professional players will choose to study at this university, and some players will join this team. Be a part of it or be part of the coaching staff.

So in the Spanish amateur league, Compluton's Universitatea team is an absolute powerhouse and can hardly find an opponent. They have also played against a lot of low-level professional teams, and the results are not bad, and they have won and lost each other.

Two other match opponents. It's not Spain's homegrown team, one is Leicester City from the English second division, and the other is Wolfsburg from the Bundesliga.

Both teams are in pre-season training in Spain and they also want to test the results of their training with actual matches, so when Atletico Madrid approached them, they happily agreed.

Atletico Madrid takes on Compluton's University team at the Compluton's University stadium on 17 August.

Since it was a "home" battle, it attracted many college students to watch the game. And Atletico Madrid's fans also came, after all, it is not a standard stadium. The security measures are not so strict, and there is no need for tickets, so many fans can come when they want, so the grandstand of this university can accommodate more than 2,000 people is completely occupied by students and fans, and that's not all, there are a lot of people gathered on the sidelines of the game, although there are no seats. But it's not bad to stand and watch these stars play, and you don't need a ticket anyway. Don't suffer.

Playing warm-up matches with amateur teams, Atletico Madrid is naturally pure training. In this game, except for Qin Shou and Courtois, almost none of the main players last season played. Simeone brought on all the new signings and substitutes.

Rao is so, this warm-up match Atletico Madrid also swept the opponent with a score of 9:1. Even if Compluton's University is the best in the amateur league, it can even play well with some low-level professional players. But in the face of a strong team like Atletico Madrid, which has the ability to win the top league title, they are not far off, not to say that they are fighting five scum.

Qin Shou scored five goals alone, with overhead kicks and free kicks. The students and fans who came to watch the game screamed and shouted in satisfaction.

Compluton, on the other hand, had Hierro score a consolation goal.

That's right, this Hierro is the same Fernando who is one of the greatest players in Real Madrid's history. Hierro. He is now a student at the university, and of course, as a former professional footballer, he naturally joined the university's varsity team.

However, his identity is a coach, and after seeing the "juniors" and Atletico Madrid stars playing with great interest, his interest also came, and he turned into a player and played for a while. Luckily, he took advantage of a corner when a lion flicked his head into Courtois' goal.

"Hahaha, it turns out that I'm really not old, and I can still score, hahaha!"

After the goal, Hierro smiled very happily, but he was depressed by Courtois, who broke the goal, and was shot by an old guy who has been retired for many years, which is really ...... I'm so depressed that I want to bang my head against the wall.

Simeone also gave Hierro a round of applause, and he was also full of respect for this peer who was almost his contemporary, or even two years earlier.

Of course, admiration is admiration, and he is actually very dissatisfied with this game. Although the team won by a large score, it was because the opponent's strength was too poor and not at all at the same level. It can be seen from this conceded goal that although luck accounts for a certain factor, the tacit understanding between the players in Atletico Madrid's midfield is obviously not enough, which allows Hierro to take advantage of the loophole.

In terms of offense, Simeone has nothing to say, although the cooperation is still very unskilled, but with Qin Shou's organization and scheduling, overall, the performance is still barely acceptable.

What pleased him the most was Vázquez's performance. The player who just defected from the Spaniard has been able to integrate into the team very quickly, and he has been able to make some simple cooperation with Qin Shou and others in the daily training ground, and his breakthrough and impact ability have also benefited the team a lot on the side, and most importantly, his pass after the breakthrough can often appear in the most suitable place.

Although the tacit understanding still needs to be strengthened, it is not easy to achieve this step at present.

This made Simeone have to sigh that the 8.4 million euros were well spent. Of course, he, like many other clubs in Spain, is grateful to Real Madrid. has cultivated such excellent players, but as a result of generously "supporting" other teams, I have to say that Real Madrid's Castillo academy is really a selfless and loving "charity association".

Three days later, Atletico Madrid welcomed their second warm-up opponent at the Calderón Stadium, Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg.

In this game, Simeone still sent a semi-main and semi-new lineup, and the final result was 5:2, and Atletico Madrid won the second warm-up game by a big score.

But it was a tough game, at least in the first half.

At the beginning of the game, because the back line did not understand each other, he made a mistake on the back, and Wolfsburg's winger Perisic seized the opportunity to break the ball successfully and scored the ball with a single knife.

Simeone was furious on the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do, after all, the tacit understanding between the teams was not established overnight.

And just before half-time, Perisic scored another goal and scored a brace.

This time it was also a mistake, but the mistake was replaced by the midfield line.

Because of the head coach's request, Gabi rarely handed the ball to Qin Shou after taking the ball, but handed it to other new teammates. Gabby and his new teammates have passed the ball incorrectly or failed to understand the intention of his teammates to run many times before, and this time, Gabby obviously wanted to pass the ball to Vazquez, but Vazquez thought that Gabby was going to push forward by himself, so he ran to the side, trying to involve Gabby in the defender.

As a result, the two people who had a misunderstanding were directly confused. The ball was passed to a player from Wolfsburg by Gabi and was met by a quick attack, with Perisic receiving the ball on the line of the box and shooting straight at the goalkeeper before ...... Then Atletico Madrid was two goals down.

Simeone's headache and heart congestion are not good. However, he can think about it, and it is better to expose the problem now than to have it again after the start of the new season, at least there is time for him and the team to correct it.

In the second half, Simeone changed his team's strategy, asking Vazquez and Carrasco to attack as much as possible in the front, while the midfield was handed to Qin Shou and Gabi.

Qin Shou also understood Simeone's intentions, he strengthened his running, he continued to use positive runs to connect the midfield, and constantly used passes to make the team move. Although there are still many mistakes, with Qin Shou's efforts, the team finally has an overall appearance, and there is a lot more cooperation.

It is also under Qin Shou's scheduling organization that the ability of the newly recruited players is gradually reflected. First of all, Carrasco received Qin Shou's comfortable pass, and shook out the shooting space in front of the penalty area, and pulled a strong shot back for the team, and two minutes later, Adrian received a pass from Vazquez, and scored in front of the goal to help the team equalize the score.

In the subsequent game, Qin Shou became the protagonist again.

He scored three goals in a row, two of which were assisted by Vázquez.

It made him laugh and cry, he used to create opportunities for his teammates, but now that Vazquez is here, he has the momentum to sit back and enjoy it.

What made him cry and laugh even more was that Vazquez seemed to only recognize him, and as long as he had the opportunity, he would pass the ball to Qin Shou. No matter how big the space and good chance were for the other teammates, Vazquez didn't care about it, so he admitted that he wanted to pass the ball to Qin Shou.

What made Qin Shou even more speechless was that in the third goal he scored, Vazquez had already rushed into the penalty area with the ball and already had a chance to shoot, but he didn't shoot, but he had to wait for Qin Shou to run over, and then pass the ball over, so that Qin Shou could push the empty goal.

What is this?

Cast a name or hug your thighs?

Qin Shou had a messy feeling in the wind.
