Because it is the first team to play in the new season, after this game, Atletico Madrid, who got three points, naturally became the leader of the league.

However, they didn't stay at the top of the league for long, as they were knocked out of the top of the table by other teams just a day later - Atletico Madrid's biggest league rivals, Real Madrid and Barcelona, also got off to a good start to the new season, with Real Madrid beating visiting Valencia 3-0 at home and Barcelona also beating away Real Sociedad 3-0 at home.

With the same number of points and the same goals scored, Real Madrid and Barcelona are tied for the top two in the standings, while Atletico Madrid fell to third place due to goal difference.

After the first round of the league battle of the new season, the top three teams in the standings are the top three teams in the league last season, which seems to indicate that this season's league championship competition has begun from the first round of the league, and it will inevitably be a fierce battle.

Atletico Madrid, who won their first win of the new season, was already jubilant, but the addition of two new signings to the team's injured roster has diluted that joy a lot.

The manager of the team did not have the heart to think about the league because the Spanish Super Cup was coming up in three days, and he had to temporarily shift his focus from the league to the cup.

Now Simeone is really worried, at the beginning of the new season, the team suffered such a large number of injuries, the main lineup is almost half broken, dragging such a crippled lineup to play the Super Cup, Simeone has no bottom at all - even if the main lineup is neat. Simeone is not too sure he will be able to compete for this trophy, especially in the current situation.

Because last season's Copa del Rey champion was Barcelona, that is to say, this time the Super Cup match opponent is Barcelona.

And what team is Barcelona?

Nicknamed "It's hard to find an opponent all over the world", the invincible team of the universe.

Who are the players in Barcelona's squad?

Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Sergio Busquets......

All of them are the best players in world football.

Even if they were beaten twice in Barcelona in the league last season, when they faced Barcelona. Simeone still doesn't have much confidence. Not to mention his team, even Real Madrid, known as the "Galaxy Battleship", is probably not confident when it meets Barcelona.

What's more, the current Atletico Madrid is full of injuries, and he can only use a semi-main and semi-new reinforcement and substitute lineup to face it, which is really difficult for him to have too much confidence.

However, no confidence is no confidence, for the first championship that can be contested in the new season. Simone didn't want to give up. At the end of last season, he promised the president Mr. Cerezo that Atletico Madrid would achieve even more brilliant results next season.

What is a better achievement?

Quite simply, that's the champion.

As long as you win a lot of championships, it is brilliant and successful.

Therefore, this championship Atletico Madrid still has to be fought for.

As for how to fight with this crippled lineup, Simeone is worried. For two days in a row, Simeone locked himself in his office and tried to figure out what to do.

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

No matter how melancholy and painful Simone was. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Super Cup.

The Spanish Super Cup is an annual football tournament in Spain between the Spanish Primera Liga winner and the Spanish Copa del Rey champion.

The tournament was actually held as the opening match before the start of the new season, after the Super Cup. The league will officially begin.

However, because this year is the European Cup, there is a bit of a crash in time, and as a result, the league has already started a round and the Super Cup has only started.

The Spanish Super Cup is played over two legs, home and away, with the winner determined by the aggregate score of the two legs. If the score is the same in both legs. The number of away goals is compared, and the one with the most away goals wins. If the aggregate score and away goals are still the same, extra time will go to extra-time, and in the event that there is still no winner in extra-time, a penalty shoot-out will be used.

This format is actually similar to the Champions League, except that there are only two teams participating, and there is no distinction between the group stage and the knockout stage.

And this format is good news for Atletico Madrid, the team is in such a difficult situation at the moment, and it doesn't take a game to decide the winner, which gives them room and time to turn around, at least without having to be beaten to death by their opponents.

On the plus side, Atletico Madrid play away first, and as long as they get a good score on the road, they will have more options to choose from when they return to home.

On September 1, the entire Atletico Madrid squad arrived in Catalonia.

In this game, Simeone still lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, but Simeone made major adjustments in various positions.

The goalkeeper is still Kurtiva, and the back four are Perea, Godin, Simonez and Felipe.

There hasn't been much change in the back line, with little change other than Simonez, who was a substitute last season.

In terms of midfield, Atletico Madrid can be described as a big change.

Qin Shou and Koke are ironclad starters, while the other three players are all replaced by defensive players. Garcia, Nicoz and Gamiz were all three new signings.

Up front, it's led by Diego. Costa serves as a single arrow, protruding at the front.

As soon as Atletico Madrid's starting list came out, the commentators and Barcelona fans at the scene were in an uproar, and even caused bursts of boos and ridicule.

Anyone can see that Atletico Madrid is a defence-oriented lineup. Raul. Garcia, Nicoz and Gamiz are all central midfielders with good defensive ability, while Koke plays as a full-back, but his style of play is to attack and defend, strictly speaking, he is also a defensive line in the team's midfield.

As for Qin Shou, ahem, there is no need to say much, although he let the whole of Europe see his super offensive ability last season, but no one will forget that Qin Shou was born in a back midfield, and his defensive ability is naturally not weak.

Simeone has piled up three midfielders in midfield, plus two strikers who are extremely athletic and defensive, and you can guess what he wants to do.

"Oh, oh, did Simeone and his team admit before the game even started?"

"Last season's league champion faced Barcelona, can only put on such a rogue bus formation? I have to say that the mud really can't support the wall. ”

"This summer, Atletico Madrid spent a lot of money to strengthen the team, and they really surprised us in the new season - ha, we were so surprised that we almost laughed on the ground!"

The home commentators at Camp Nou made mocking remarks, and nearly 100,000 home fans also let out bursts of boos, and even all kinds of insults and insults.

Simeone's face was a little ugly, but he remained unmoved.

Barcelona is very strong, if Atletico Madrid has a full lineup, maybe it can be a real head-to-head with the opponent, but now Atletico Madrid is a second-class cripple, and if he wants to get the ideal result, he has to think of some "wrong ways".

That's right, his hard-working strategy is to set up a bucket formation against Barcelona. Of course, the iron bucket formation is not enough, Barcelona's passing and control technology flow style is unique in the world, plus their players have strong individual ability, very good at seeing the seams, so Simeone not only has to set the iron bucket formation, he also requires the team's defense to be stronger and more ruthless, he requires the team to muddy the midfield, so that Barcelona does not comfortably turn the football upside down.

He's just going to muddy the game so his team has a chance to win. Of course, it doesn't matter if they can't win, as long as Barcelona don't win, or limit the loss to one or two, then they still have a chance to turn the tide in the next leg.

Putting on such a "rogue formation" as the defending champion of the league, to be honest, Simeone is really a little embarrassed. However, after "enjoying" the overwhelming boos and scolding at Camp Nou, Simeone didn't have a little psychological burden - anyway, he was not the first person to put a bus in the face of Barcelona, you see so many heroes in world football, so many famous coaches, they don't take Barcelona in their eyes on weekdays, shouting that the universe is invincible just because they haven't met themselves, and as a result, when they meet Barcelona, they are beaten like grandsons, and in the end they have to defend with all their might.

Therefore, bow your head when you should bow your head, as long as the final winner is yourself, then the process and means will be less important in many cases.

Anyway, no matter how ridiculed and sarcastic others are, Simeone has made up his mind to put the bus away from home, he just wants to suffocate Barcelona, what can you do?

We are not a wealthy family, face is not so important, we only want the result, not the process, what can you do with me?

I have to say that Simeone and Mourinho are really similar, if the madman knows what Simeone is thinking at the moment, he will probably hug each other and cry - confidant......
