Atletico Madrid made a number of changes in the transfer market in the summer of 2015.

Up front took Raul Gimenez, Mandzukic, Cerci.

Midfielders are Alda Turan, Raul Garcia, Mario Suarez.

At the back went Toby Aldreveld, Miranda.

In addition to the Chinese striker Ye Yifeng, who shook the world football world with 100 million euros, there is also a striker Luciano Bieto brought in from Villarreal.

The midfield brought in Carrasco, who was previously teammates with Monaco and Ye Yifeng, as well as Madias Cranevit, a central midfielder and midfielder.

The back line brought in former Felipe Luiz from Chelsea and Fiorentina's Stefan Savic.

The income from the sale was 100 million euros, and the transfer investment was 170 million euros.

......

YIFENG'S NEW HOME IS IN THE NEW DISTRICT OF ALCOBENDAS, A SUBURB NORTHEAST OF MADRID.

This is a rich area, both the environment and the real estate are more satisfactory to Ye Yifeng and Tang Mo, but it is closer to Real Madrid, Ye Yifeng goes to the training base or Calderon Stadium, in order not to cross the city center, he needs to go around the suburbs.

Coincidentally, James Rodriguez also lives here.

So on the second night of his arrival in Madrid, he was a guest with Tang Mo.

James Rodriguez resisted the urge to punch the leaf and then shared with him some of his experiences of living in Madrid.

The identity of the sworn enemy in the same city is that he can't run away, but it doesn't affect their personal relationship.

Tang Mo continued to clean up the house, and lived with Ye Yifeng for the past two years, and even she admired that she was about to become a strong woman.

Although Atletico Madrid is the leader of the second echelon of La Liga, there are not many strong players in the team.

At the beginning of the season, the preparation was mainly based on physical reserves, and Ye Yifeng first talked a lot with Carrasco, a former teammate, in training.

Reminiscing about each other, reminiscing about the past and the eventful years, and then there is no other place to help each other.

After all, when they were in Monaco, the two were just teammates with a normal relationship.

After the third day of training, Ye Yifeng asked assistant coach Burges to arrange a goalkeeper for himself, and he had to practice shooting.

Using the ball serve, he practiced his shooting ability in motion.

Unexpectedly, Griezmann and Saul had already started training.

The two of them saw that Ye Yifeng returned to training after training, and asked Ye Yifeng to come over to show his footwork.

About 30 yards from the goal outside the penalty area, let Ye Yifeng shoot a few shots and see.

Ye Yifeng did as he was told, and seriously blasted out the football, both positive and biased.

But it's all about pursuing angular bursts.

Griezmann and Saul couldn't tell the reason with just a few shots, so they put their curiosity aside for the time being.

Ye Yifeng saw that his teammates were there, so he asked very simply: "Can you cooperate with me?" ”

Atletico academy player Saul, who was only 21 years old at the end of the year, and Griezmann, who is one year and four months older than Ye Yifeng, looked at each other and finally nodded.

Ye Yifeng thought to himself: I can't just listen to your command.

Ready-made tool people, don't use in vain.

When Griezmann obediently forced Ye Yifeng head-on, he really didn't expect that Ye Yifeng, a newcomer, didn't have the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young!

One shot was knocked to the ground by Ye Yifeng's backward collision with the ball!

Griezmann, who was sitting on the ground, looked confused.

Ye Yifeng immediately completed the shot after passing him.

Saul held back a laugh.

Well......

This Ye Yifeng.

It's a bit of an Atletico Madrid player!

It took Simeone three days to decide to sign Ye Yifeng, not because the board was willing to add a budget to facilitate the transfer, which is not necessarily a good thing, and there are many examples of the team being shoehorned into the mess caused by players.

Instead, he worked day and night at home to fully study Ye Yifeng's performance in Wolfsburg last season!

Then I found that the ability characteristics and style that Ye Yifeng showed in Wolfsburg were very in line with his team building requirements.

What kind of players does Atletico Madrid need?

Tough fighting spirit, physical, confrontational players.

Ye Yifeng is!

You need a striker who can defend.

Ye Yifeng can!

What is Atletico Madrid missing?

Lack of organizational creativity.

Ye Yifeng has!

What's missing?

Missing goals.

Last season's third-place team Atletico Madrid scored fewer goals than fourth-placed Valencia and fifth-placed Sevilla.

43 goals less than champions Barcelona and 51 fewer than runners-up Real Madrid!

But obviously, the most important thing Ye Yifeng lacks is to score goals!

Such a player is precisely Simeone's favorite.

Before Griezmann could figure out whether Ye Yifeng was deliberately embarrassing himself, he saw Saul take the initiative to walk in front of Ye Yifeng.

Ye Yifeng continued to practice.

It's a little more troublesome to deal with midfielder Saul, the opponent's defense is stubborn, so he has to protect the ball from time to time to find opportunities to break through, but there is also a fierce confrontation!

Griezmann understood.

This Chinese striker is this style!

Excuse me.

Griezmann left on his own initiative to practice his shooting.

He didn't want to know why Ye Yifeng practiced hand-to-hand combat, anyway, he didn't have this style.

He took the smart and elegant route, and played "kill one person in ten steps, and leave no line for a thousand miles".

If you really fall into the situation of hand-to-hand combat, then admit it.

can only show that his coquettish running ability has not been brought into play.

At the end of the training, Ye Yifeng high-fived Saul and gave a promise as usual: I will invite you to dinner when I go back.

Saul and Griezmann watched Ye Yifeng walk in the direction of the locker room, and Saul asked Griezmann, "Did he treat me as a sparring partner?" ”

Griezmann shook his head and said, "I don't know, he's weird." ”

Saul smiled: "I think he's quite interesting, at least he doesn't have Mr. Yuan's shelf, but he's really ruthless!"

My arm was sore and sore. ”

"It's fine not to play with him."

......

After the training the next day, Ye Yifeng stayed directly at the training ground, and then came to Saul's side.

Saul Tool Man is online!

A week later.

When Ye Yifeng found Saul again after training, Saul was embarrassed to hang up the exemption card, so he called his parents and pushed midfielder Koke, who was also an Atletico Madrid academy player, in front of Ye Yifeng.

Saul really can't stand Ye Yifeng anymore, he has been focusing on physical strength training recently, and he was ravaged by Ye Yifeng in hand-to-hand combat after training, which is really unbearable.

Ye Yifeng is okay, he was replaced by Cork, who is the same age as Ye Yifeng, a little shorter and has a low center of gravity, the challenge is there, and the opponent has a lot of small actions, the two are equal in the collision, Ye Yifeng has to suffer a little bit because he takes the initiative to control the ball.

Koke didn't expect that the new striker worth 100 million euros would be this way.

It's not the same as I imagined.

What about flowers?

What about showing off the skills of your opponent's face?

Take it out!

But Ye Yifeng is a good person who practices bulldozer mode.

At one point, Cork wondered if Atletico Madrid had been fooled!

Take a look at their signature striker Griezmann, and the old golden boy Torres, which one doesn't exude smart charm?

Is this Chinese player really a striker?

When Ye Yifeng found that Cork was becoming more and more experienced in defending himself and his success rate was getting higher and higher, he began to join the heavy shoulder fake before passing.

Mo said Cork, even Griezmann and Saul, who were watching from the sidelines, were shocked!

it!

Will he feint?

I've been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before!

Hidden so deeply?

It's so scheming!

Ye Yifeng is practicing, not playing, and when he can eat Saul with his body, of course there is no need to use feints.

Why bother looking for the near and far?

Cork really didn't expect Ye Yifeng to come like this suddenly, the defensive center of gravity was deceived instantly, and Ye Yifeng passed him neatly!

Cork came to his senses, well, something of value.

When he continued to train, Koke couldn't prevent Ye Yifeng a little, and couldn't stop him from switching styles back and forth, either suddenly pushing flat, or playing a set of fake shaking to change direction.

This kind of static start one-to-one distance is not too far away, Ye Yifeng did it intentionally, and he really wants to better temper his ability after static starting.

The team began to increase the content of training with the ball, and Ye Yifeng was a little frustrated to find that his speed was not ranked high among the forwards.

This means that Atletico Madrid, who is in his impression of mainly defending and counter-attacking, does not have the more advantageous counter-attacking attributes like Griezmann, Torres, or even Angel Correa.

However, after all, the competition is not an all-round track and field sprint ability, and he quickly adjusted his mentality and worked hard to improve his characteristics within his ability.

Entering August, Atletico Madrid began its pre-season warm-up matches.

There is no need to fight hard in the warm-up game, Ye Yifeng's performance in the game is average.

To be exact, the whole team of Atletico Madrid performed mediocre.

In the first warm-up match, Simeone put him in the center forward position to partner Antoine Griezmann.

I thought this would be his fixed position.

But in the second warm-up game, he went to play left wing-back.

Atletico Madrid embarked on a gold rush in Asia, and in the third warm-up match against Sagan Tosu in Japan, Ye Yifeng appeared in the middle of the midfield.

The fourth warm-up match came to China, and when he played against SIPG, Ye Yifeng returned to the center forward position.

Ye Yifeng's position and role have been changing.

The Chinese media, which have been following Ye Yifeng's performance, have said that Simeone has not yet found the most suitable position for Ye Yifeng.

Although there are problems with teammates, Simeone found that the biggest problem is: Ye Yifeng is all-round in the frontcourt!

In addition to not being like a typical winger, all positions in the midfield are in the middle or on the left, Ye Yifeng can do it, and his performance is getting better and better!

After all, the intensity of the friendly match is too low to be used as a test basis.

Simeone had a hard time choosing.

Put Ye Yifeng in the midfield, and Atletico Madrid's midfield defense and organizational creativity will be double-improved.

But there's no reason not to put him up front with Griezmann.

Griezmann's style is somewhat similar to the current Torres, but it is not as effective as Ye Yifeng and Griezmann.

But in that case, the creativity of the midfield has dropped significantly.

Ye Yifeng gave him a problem.

Where are you going?
