For Real Madrid's players, they naturally can't stand the provocation of Atletico Madrid fans, they just want to suppress this momentum and let Atletico Madrid know that Real Madrid is the only giant in Madrid!

And for Zidane, and is also a big battle for the title, the opponent is one of the champions of Atletico Madrid, if it can be defeated, then this season's championship momentum will be better, otherwise, the situation is a little troublesome, a draw with Athletic Bilbao, if you lose or draw with Atletico Madrid, it is also a blow to the morale of the players.

Although the game is only in the fourth round now, it is still far from the championship, but with the strength of Real Madrid, there are really not many teams that can pose a threat to it, Barcelona counts one, Atletico Madrid counts one, Athletic Bilbao counts one, plus one Valencia, and the rest of the teams, unless Real Madrid dies by itself, they can basically be won, so winning Atletico Madrid now is tantamount to cleaning up a bad wolf on the way to winning the championship.

Battle of Honor!

Battle of Faith!

The battle for self-esteem!

Morale Battle!

It's a Madrid derby, and it's a game that could potentially decide the course of Real Madrid's entire season, and its impact is so far-reaching that it's definitely not just a league game.

No matter what, this game must be won, this is the belief of the whole Real Madrid team, even if it is away, you must not lose to Atletico Madrid, this is a must. If you lose, you are likely to be doomed.

Another key reason is how Real Madrid will face a team that plays dirtier. After the draw with Athletic Bilbao, Zidane would love to do some training on this. But it's not as easy to exercise as physical strength, it's something that requires sparring.

So such an experience and approach. It can only be obtained in the game, how to win a game under the frequent fouls and constant physical contact of Atletico Madrid, it is a problem that must be thoroughly understood for Zidane, and it is a difficulty that must be overcome for Real Madrid's players.

And once this weakness is caught, the future games, not only in the league, but also in the Champions League, are likely to encounter some not very good sniping. That's going to be a real problem.

In fact, to put it bluntly, some players of Real Madrid are now injured because of the game against Athletic Bilbao, not physically, but psychologically, and they subconsciously begin to be afraid of physical contact with the opponent, afraid of encountering a team that plays dirty.

So what to do? The only way is to beat Atletico Madrid and let this subconscious fear go away.

……

And because this game is so important, before the game, on the national team break. Zidane was really scared, and he had to ask the club's top management to intervene and let his players play as little as possible in the national team matches or not at all, because they were all friendly matches. There is no interest involved, so their request was still nodded by some head coaches.

Why are big clubs most afraid of the FIFA virus?

Actually, the reason is very simple, because most of the big teams. The players in their squad are basically internationals, once it's the international break. You'll have to worry about the FIFA virus if the next game is good. If you encounter a difficult opponent, you will really be sad to death.

In the past, Zidane regretted that Lin Yu could not be selected for the national team, but every time this time, he became happy, and he couldn't wait to hug the chairman of the Chinese Football Association and kiss the two fiercely, because Lin Yu did not have to participate in the national team competition, he was always able to maintain the best physical strength and condition at this time, which was the most important thing for him.

As long as Lin Yu is not injured and Lin Yu is not tired, then he is confident that he will win against anyone, which is also the only place where Zidane can rest assured.

……

After the end of the national team break, Zidane was still more satisfied, because his request was nodded by many national team coaches, his players played less time in the game, especially the good is a few injured players, did not go with the team to participate in the game, which makes them more energetic, after the body recovers, it can play a key role at a critical time.

There is Cristiano. Ronaldo, Bale, Di Maria and Ramos were on the bench and could make timely adjustments if things didn't go right, which made Zidane finally feel at ease and full of confidence to win this game.

Compared to Zidane, the opponent Diego. Simeone is a happier person, because there are really not many internationals in the Atletico team, and Diego. Costa, a key figure, did not play a minute during the national team break, which made Diego . Costa maintained his full strength.

Mata, the core of the midfield, was not selected for the national team and has absolutely sufficient physical strength to play with Diego. Costa cooperates.

And Zidane had to train after the players returned to the team, because there was no way to train before, most of the main players went to the national team, and Lin Yu also went to sign a contract with Airbus, all he could do was write and draw on paper, prepare for what he wanted to do, and then wait for the players to return to the team, and immediately practice.

……

Although the two teams are now standing on the Calderón Stadium, but before the start of this game, the war of words between the two sides is not less, it is simply a conspiracy and all kinds of means have been used, and there are even Atletico Madrid players who are talking for Barcelona, saying that Barcelona is the strongest team in La Liga, to stimulate the players of Real Madrid and make the players of Real Madrid lose their minds.

But Real Madrid also responded, not to mention Barcelona, even if you join forces with Barcelona, we can beat you all over the ground.

This riposte can not be described as arrogant, nor can it be described as domineering. It's just that Barcelona is innocent again.

Immediately after, Diego. Simeone pointed out in an interview with the media. He has found a way to deal with Real Madrid, which he did not discover. It's that Real Madrid has some problems within the team, but it didn't break out because of the good results, but once the game doesn't go well, they will definitely have problems.

What exactly is the problem, Diego. Simeone didn't say it, so this caused more speculation.

For example, some people say that it should refer to Casillas and his girlfriend, when Mourinho era, because of Casillas's big-mouthed girlfriend, the generals were at odds, which eventually led to frequent conflicts in the dressing room.

Some people also say that Lin Yu and Zidane finally had some contradictions. Lin Yu's personality is unruly, and Zidane is not a person to mess with, how can these two people work together so well?

Some people say that it should be the new signings Royce and Cristiano. Contradictions arose between Ronaldo.

Some people even pointed out that Zidane's repeated command mistakes in the game have annoyed Real Madrid's top management, so Real Madrid intends to change the coach.

Anyway, there are all kinds of strange conjectures, but none of them have been confirmed, but it is undeniable. Diego. Simeone's statement is like a bomb in the crowd, and if no one ever touches it, then it will never be fine. But if someone touches it, it immediately causes a huge explosion.

……

Face Diego. Simeone's remarks, Zidane is not stupid. He didn't follow Diego. Simeone's expected topic went on, and he didn't even take it. Just throw the bomb back to Diego like a ball. Diego Simeone.

"I think Simeone's team was beaten by us last season. That's the real problem, if they didn't have a problem, they wouldn't have played so badly, and I can point out the internal problems of Atletico Madrid, Diego. Costa's popularity in the team is not very good, there are many people who look down on him, which makes him very annoyed, and Courtois in the goalkeeper position is now only on loan to Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea may have to return at any time, you have a lot of problems. ”

Speaking of this, Zidane smiled and said: "How about it, can I point out the internal problems of Atletico Madrid, can you Simeone tell us what our so-called problems are?" ”

When he choked up, he directly put Diego. Simeone's mouth was gagged because of Diego. Simeone is simply playing conspiracy, he doesn't know anything, because in the past few seasons, there has been harmony in the Real Madrid team, there is no contradiction at all, what can he say?

Finally, Diego. Simeone could only throw down one sentence: "In that case, let's see you in the game." ”

Of course, Zidane was not afraid of him, and also responded sonorously and forcefully: "Fight is a battle, it's a big deal to kill you once, it's not a difficult thing!" ”

If someone thinks that Zidane is a gentle gentleman who can't fight, it would be a big mistake, Zidane's personality is also full of wild and uninhibited, but he usually pays more attention to control, unlike Lin Yu who has always been very flamboyant, and his character is completely expressed.

……

A war of words is an appetizer before every game, without this fight, the Madrid derby always feels that there is something missing, but the appetizer is an appetizer after all, and he can't dominate another game, that's pretty much it.

Diego. Simeone's strategy didn't work, so he didn't go any further, he had more things to do, and the most important thing was to see the real chapter on the field, just like the words he left to Zidane.

As for Zidane, he didn't say anything unreasonable, and he punctured Diego. After Simeone's conspiracy, he also began to prepare for the team's game, because this is what you really need to care about, even if you win the war of words before the game, if you can't win the game, not only will it not increase your popularity, but it will make you a laughing stock.

Exactly Diego. Simeone taught Zidane to be a coach, or Zidane used practical actions to fight back against Diego. Simeone, this will not be known until the game starts, but their war of words has made everyone look forward to this Madrid derby even more.

It's like those appetizers that can whet your appetite, and after you eat them, not only will you not hold on, but you will be full of anticipation for the main course that follows.

……

On match day, the atmosphere at Calderón Stadium was very hot, with nearly 60,000 seats in the entire stand.

In the stands, you can see countless flags swearing and satirizing Real Madrid.

When the players from both sides entered the stadium, the stands resounded with the unanimous shouts of Atletico Madrid fans.

"Who is the king of Madrid?"

"Atletico Madrid!" The sound was so loud that it shook people's ears to the point of deafness.

"Who is your most hated player?"

"Lin Yu-!" Another deafening shout.

"Who is your favorite player?"

"Diego. Costa! ”

"If you hate Lin Yu, then stand up and despise him!"

When this shout sounded, all the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene actually stood up, and then almost uniformly raised their middle fingers at Lin Yu.

"If you guys like Diego, cheer him on!"

Then, the middle finger becomes the thumb. (To be continued......)
