Chapter 43: Dog-Luck !!

Away dressing room at the Bernabeu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Atletico Madrid players have finished their warm-ups, and each player is doing their own thing, some are talking to each other, some are listening to music to soothe their emotions, some are reading the newspaper, and everyone is preparing for the final game.

Wan Sheng stood in front of the door, looking at the various players in the room, with a slight smile on his face.

Judging by everyone's looks, the team didn't seem to be too nervous.

That's the good side.

The Madrid derby is a big game and it makes a lot of players nervous, and that was the case at Manchester City, and even in his third season in charge, there are still a lot of players who are nervous, and now the team looks better than it did at Manchester City.

Maybe some of the older players in the team are used to the derby, or maybe some young players who are nervous don't have the chance to start, but in short, the atmosphere in the team is good.

Atletico Madrid and Manchester City are completely different teams.

In the face of the big game, this team behaved more calmly, but it cannot be said that the team is mature, it can only be said that the players in the team are more mature.

Standing on his own position, Wan Sheng felt that the gap was still quite large, in fact, in the face of the first Madrid derby, he felt a little expectant and nervous.

The game is about to begin.

Wan Sheng knew he had to say something.

When he was in charge of Manchester City, he didn't have to worry about boosting the morale of the team.

At that time, every player in Manchester City trusted him very much, and many players had a 'reverence value' of more than 100 points in the players' union, which was the team that really belonged to him, and now Atletico Madrid, in a sense, belonged to him more, but many players in the team were actually not familiar with him.

They don't have that much 'reverence' for themselves.

It's a lot better now than it was at the start of the season, at least no players have any doubts about his coaching ability, so the team's overall 'reverence' for him has increased a lot when he prepares for the summer.

But this improvement is not enough.

For example, in the dressing room now, Aguero's 'reverence value' is the least, only '65', which means that Aguero will only play normally, and there is little trust and respect for him.

Fortunately, there are Morris, Ozil and others in the team, their reverence value is more than '100', Morris even reached 141, he has complete trust in himself, and the degree of trust is comparable to fatherly affection, even if many fathers and sons do not have such trust...... Of course, Morris and Wan Sheng are the same age, so perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe them as 'best friends'.

Among other players, Diego Costa's 'reverence value' has increased the fastest, reaching '87' points, which is obviously related to Diego Costa's recent performances.

These young players who are not well-known, as long as they get the opportunity, the 'reverence value' will increase very quickly.

After glancing at the 'reverence value' of each player, Wan Sheng looked forward to winning the game even more.

The best way to convince a player of himself is to win.

A win over a derby would have been very good.

After the team's big win over Barcelona, the team's players generally have improved their 'reverence value', and it is believed that for the team, the Madrid derby will only be better.

Such a big battle is more effective than winning several games in a row in an ordinary game.

In fact, the increase in 'reverence value' is similar to the improvement of team morale, defeating strong opponents naturally makes the team full of confidence, and successive victories against weak opponents can only make players think that they are in good shape and playing well.

So the victory in this game is very important.

After watching the time approaching the game, Wan Sheng took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, coughed lightly, and waited for everyone to look at him before he spoke, "I have already said before, this Real Madrid team is not terrible!" Their manager is Jose Mourinho, England have never beaten me, and I'm sure it's the same in Spain! ”

Wan Sheng first used the match with Mourinho to tell the players that he is very confident in the game.

After that, he emphasized the hard work of the past week, "We have prepared a lot for the game, not to mention the tactics and playing style, in a week, the hard work of the whole team, each of you knows that if we lose the game, our hard work for the week will be in vain, and it will become completely useless." I'm sure none of you want your efforts to be fruitless, right? ”

"Maybe there are still some of you who have doubts about whether the team can beat Real Madrid, but I tell you, if everyone does their job, we will win!"

Wan Sheng waved his fist and said seriously.

His movements and expressions were very convincing, and even those who thought the team was inferior to Real Madrid had a lot of confidence.

After everyone digested it, Wan Sheng continued to add, "I'm not talking big, and I never do that. You don't need to be under pressure, everybody on the pitch does their own thing, you're a professional and that's what you have to do, and the win or defeat is what I, the manager, need to think about. ”

"So each of you just has to do what you have to do and get ready for victory!"

"Do you understand everything?"

Wan Sheng roared after speaking.

Suddenly everyone was excited, and they all shouted "I know", "Of course", "We will" and the like, the shouting seemed chaotic, but Wan Sheng was already satisfied, he just needed to let the players know what to do.

Wan Sheng's words were not very inflammatory, but they gave people a sense of confidence and made people feel relaxed.

It's like going to gamble, afraid of losing, but a friend said, "If you lose, it's mine, if you win, it's yours", and some players who were under pressure before also felt no pressure.

"Anyway, if you lose, what about the boss? Afraid of what? ”

"It's like the boss said, I'll just do my own thing."

"The boss is so confident, why don't we have confidence?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A lot of players think that way, and they feel relaxed and confident, including Raul Garcia.

At the beginning of the summer preparations, Raul Garcia was actually a little unhappy with Wan Sheng.

Raul Garcia is a senior player in Atletico Madrid, he is only 24 years old, but he has been playing for Atletico Madrid for three seasons, and he was worth 13 million euros when he first moved to Atletico Madrid from Osasuna.

Raul Garcia has been outstanding since coming to Atletico Madrid, and he has become an integral part of Atletico Madrid.

Former Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini has publicly expressed his appreciation for Raul Garcia and hopes to get his feelings.

With such qualifications, it is natural to become a very important member of Atletico Madrid, so the team has changed greatly in the summer, and Raul Garcia's main position is also stable, but when the team was preparing for the first day of training, Wan Sheng handed over the captain's armband to Diego Forlan and the vice-captain's armband to Morris.

Raul Garcia was dissatisfied.

Raul Garcia believes that with his seniority and performance at Atletico Madrid, the vice-captain should be his own no matter what, and the arrival of Morris, the arrival of Wan Sheng, has made him lose the position of 'vice-captain', and he does not think that Morris will be better than himself.

"Just because this Chinese is the head coach!"

He thought.

As the league progressed game by game, Raul Garcia complained less, he is still the absolute main force of the team, and he still has the most playing time in the team, not only that, after adapting to the team's new tactics, he found that his performance is getting better and better, and at the same time, he also found that Morris is indeed an excellent player, the opponent's performance can be said to be the best in the team, and there is indeed a gap between himself and the opponent.

Raul Garcia is satisfied that he has been reused.

He has a very clear understanding of himself.

In the current team, the new Morris and Ozil are undoubtedly quite good, at least not worse than him, Ozil is 'Mr. 42 million euros', the strength does not need to be said at all, even Ozil is headed by Morris, it is conceivable how good Morris's ability is, he can partner with these two and become the absolute main force in the midfield, and he must have been reused.

Raul Garcia also found that the team's new tactics were simply tailor-made for themselves!

This is the point that he is most satisfied with.

Before, Atletico Madrid focused on attack, although he was the main player, but the performance was not very good, and there was no outstanding place in the table absorption, but now it is different, he is very adaptable to the team's tactics, whether it is offensive or defensive, it feels very smooth.

Raul Garcia is convinced that he can get better and better.

So now facing the Madrid derby, Raul Garcia has more confidence than many players, and after listening to Wansheng's words, he is sure that the team can really win.

Of all the veteran players, Raul Garcia has the most confidence in the team.

At this point, Wansheng is not surprising.

There's a reason why he reuses Raul Garcia, a Spanish defensive midfielder who was a Spanish defensive midfielder in the early days of the professional league and is actually inferior in attack compared to other good forwards.

Raul Garcia comes from Osasuna, a team that is seen as an alternative in La Liga for their aggressive style of fighting.

Raul Garcia also adheres to the team's tough style, and the experience of playing as a striker has given him lightness and agility, and the combination of ball control and interception skills is quite perfect in him, and his scoring ability as a midfielder is also good.

So Raul Garcia's ability is well-rounded.

In the 'B-TF' tactical system, running is the most important, and players, especially midfielders, also have to take care of both defense and attack, and players with all-round ability tend to play better.

Raul Garcia still has an advantage over Ozil.

That's why Wansheng reuses him, and it's also the reason why he can perform well under the new tactical system.

――――

In the home team's dressing room, Mourinho was also talking about the game seriously.

Needless to say, the tactical arrangement is needless to say, Mourinho's focus is to remind the team not to be careless, he and Wan Sheng are already old rivals, and he has met many times in England, he can be said to be the one who lost, in addition, Atletico Madrid's results this season are quite good, and Real Madrid's points are the same, which shows that this Atletico Madrid team must not be underestimated.

So Mourinho needs to be careful.

'It's not last season anymore and we're going to have to deal with them as a strong new team.'

"I can't take this game enough enough!"

'It's our home stadium, the Bernabeu Stadium, and I'm sure none of you want to lose, so you have to play as hard as you can and don't give them a chance!'

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Jose Mourinho's words did not have much effect on some of the Real Madrid veterans, this was originally a Madrid derby, and they naturally took the game seriously, but they did not think that Atletico Madrid could pose much of a threat.

Real Madrid is the strongest now!

The last four rounds have brought a lot of confidence to the team, winning by big scores in a row, and letting them know that the team is in very good shape.

What if Atletico Madrid were stronger?

Real Madrid's leading star, C-Ronaldo, doesn't see it that way, he has been with Real Madrid for more than a year, and he can barely be regarded as Real Madrid's 'veteran', unlike others, he knows Wansheng very well, and ...... Hate!

C-Ronaldo can't forget Wansheng.

When Manchester City and Manchester United played back then, Manchester United's consecutive defeats made every Manchester United player remember that Manchester City, let alone Manchester City's manager Wan Sheng.

C-Ronaldo is also the special one.

He's been targeted a lot – on the field and off the field.

Now C-Ronaldo is looking forward to the game, and he hopes to officially beat Atletico Madrid on behalf of the team and let that annoying Chinese taste defeat!

――――

The Santiago Bernabeu stadium has long been filled with deafening shouts.

The fans in the stands opened their voices and shouted to fight against the opposing fans, but also to cheer for their respective teams.

Soon the players from both teams came on the field.

As a result, the sound of the audience suddenly increased, and many fans were shouting the names of their favorite teams and stars.

Before the start of the game, the media commentators were talking about the starting line-ups of both teams.

Real Madrid's starting lineup was not unexpected, they continued to use the 4231 formation, Di Maria, Diarra and C-Ronaldo in the front three of the front, Higuain led the lead, the two midfielders were Khedira and Xavi Alonso, the back four Ramos, Ferreira, Carvalho and Marcelo, and the goalkeeper was undoubtedly Casillas.

Real Madrid's squad is still very strong, and they have the strongest squad at the moment.

It's the same with Atletico Madrid.

Wansheng arranges the starting lineup, the first consideration is the maturity of the players, when it comes to this kind of competition, if there is tension, it will definitely affect the performance, so a group of young players are all eliminated, the backfield, the arrangement of the midfield is not difficult, the team has competition on these two fronts, but who performs well and who performs poorly are very list.

The only headache is the front line.

Diego Costa has been in good form, scoring six goals in the first nine league games, which is enough to prove his form and quality, but Sergio Aguero is also in good form, scoring the only goal in the last round to help the team win, so there is no reason not to let Aguero start.

In addition, the two veterans, Forlan and Klose, are in good form and will be very consistent whenever they play.

Wan Sheng had a headache for a while, and in the end he chose to put Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa on the field.

Diego Costa was more adaptable to tactics and Wansheng deployed him as a wing-back in place of the slightly worse Reyes.

Sergio Aguero became the starting striker.

Aguero's partner is Diego Forlan, the reason for choosing Forlan is that the two have been partnered for several seasons and have a very tacit understanding, in comparison, Klose has just entered the team, it is worse, but the bend still allows Klose to enter the squad, and the German veteran is still trustworthy.

Soon with the referee's whistle, the game began.

As soon as the game started, Wan Sheng walked to the sidelines, he ignored the provocation of the Real Madrid fans in the stands behind him, and just looked at the game seriously.

In the locker room, Wan Sheng vowed that the team would win, but in reality, he was not very sure about the game.

Atletico Madrid have undergone a makeover in the summer, and the team has not fully adapted to the new tactics, so to speak, it is just getting started.

At this time, it is not easy to play against a strong Real Madrid.

As if to confirm the idea of Wan Sheng, Real Madrid launched a rapid offensive at the beginning, and in the 3rd, 4th, and 7th minutes, Real Madrid continuously threatened the Atletico Madrid goal.

For a while, Atletico Madrid's defense was a little flustered.

They couldn't press the counterattack at all, and they were surrounded by Real Madrid all the time, and finally in the 12th minute, Di Maria's through pass from the middle hit Ujfarussi's body and changed direction, and Carvalho on the heel of the penalty area single-handedly completed the push with his right foot to score.

1 to 0!

"Carvalho! Carvalho! ”

'As a centre-back, he scored the first goal for Real Madrid, and it was a great goal for a defender!

β€œgooooooal!!!”

"Just 12 minutes into the game, Real Madrid took the lead!"

――――

"Damn, bastard!"

Wan Sheng scolded angrily on the sidelines.

Before the start of the game, Wan Sheng emphasized defense countless times, and when it came to the game, the team's defense was still good, Real Madrid's attack was very fierce, but the first few attacks were not a big threat to the goal.

Unexpectedly, Di Maria made a pass, which actually hit Ujfarusi and bounced in front of Carvalho.

This is simply a 'tailor-made' opportunity for Carvalho!

"luck!"

Wan Sheng gritted his teeth, but he also knew in his heart that football matches are like this, often luck also accounts for a large part of the factor, and Real Madrid played really well, they suppressed the situation.

What now?

Wan Sheng forced himself to calm down, and then immediately called Morris and told him to let the team continue to work on defense.

Now is not the time to be impulsive!

If it is absolutely unwise to play against Real Madrid because of a goal, it will not be possible to have any other result except for Real Madrid to score a few more goals, so it is still necessary to ensure defense and withstand Real Madrid's opening offensive. (To be continued.) )
