Chapter 252: Real Madrid's Revenge
Atletico Madrid's UEFA Super Cup triumph and Ringer's first UEFA Super Cup title could add another piece to his roster of honours.
After winning the UEFA Super Cup, Ringer accompanied his parents to London for a day to provide some material for the British paparazzi, and then he rushed back to Madrid to prepare for the Spanish Super Cup.
Atletico's UEFA Super Cup win was expected, as Sevilla themselves would have struggled to cause too much trouble for Atletico.
But the next Spanish Super Cup, the match against Real Madrid, that is the first test of the new season.
Before the game started, Real Madrid shouted the slogan of revenge early.
Last season's Champions League final loss to Atletico Madrid, and it was the last penalty loss, Real Madrid is quite unconvinced, they all want revenge, and now this Spanish Super Cup is a good opportunity.
Real Madrid president Florentino said on television: "This is his chance to prove himself, we are Real Madrid and it is impossible to lose to the same opponent in a row. ”
The "he" that Florentino refers to is naturally the current Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Last season, Real Madrid was beaten twice by Atletico Madrid in the league and lost to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final, and before that, Real Madrid also eliminated Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey, which is not a few consecutive losses.
But the Champions League final defeat to Atletico Madrid was too important this time.
Real Madrid's tenth Champions League title is gone.
So now will be Real Madrid's chance to get revenge, and it will also be Ancelotti's chance to prove himself, and Ancelotti has been under a lot of pressure recently.
Carlo Ancelotti's first season in charge of Real Madrid helped them win the Copa del Rey and reach the Champions League final, which was even better than Jose Mourinho's first year in charge of Real Madrid.
But Real Madrid's current situation is different from when Mourinho was at the beginning.
When Mourinho came to Real Madrid, it was when Barcelona was the strongest and Real Madrid was suppressed very badly, so Mourinho helped Real Madrid win a Copa del Rey championship in the first year and reach the semifinals of the Champions League, which was a great achievement and received a lot of recognition.
And now, Barcelona no longer has such a strong dominance, everyone thinks that this is a good opportunity for Real Madrid to overturn Barcelona, but Ancelotti's first year of results, the league championship was snatched away by the dark horse Atletico Madrid, which suddenly came out, and the Champions League final was lost to Atletico Madrid, only won a Copa del Rey title, which is not enough to fill the hole.
So, it will be Ancelotti's chance for revenge.
The whole Real Madrid team was also quite unconvinced by the defeat in last season's Champions League final.
'In last season's Champions League final, we were just a little bit unlucky, they used some despicable means to interfere with Sergio's penalty, and we had every chance of winning the title.
This is what Casillas said to the reporter of the newspaper As, and the whole Real Madrid team almost meant it.
I was very unconvinced to lose.
Atletico Madrid is relatively low-key, at least the team's head coach Simeone is relatively low-key, he said in an interview with reporters: "Atletico Madrid is not like Barcelona and Real Madrid, they are super teams with hundreds of millions of transfer funds every season, we are a disadvantaged side in terms of competition, we are a team at a lower level, and the results like last season are more like a miracle." ”
"Real Madrid and Barcelona will always be the biggest favorites after the start of the new season, Atletico Madrid is more of a third-place team, and the upcoming Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid is also a stronger team, but we will try our best to defend the title."
※※※
August 20 is the day of the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup.
As the league champion, Atletico Madrid has a slight advantage in the schedule, so Atletico Madrid first went to the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid away.
When Simeone led the Atletico players to the Bernabeu, there were huge boos in the stadium, and the defeat in the Champions League final left Real Madrid fans in their hearts.
But in today's Bernabeu, revenge is only the second theme, and nostalgia is their first theme.
On July 7 of this year, during the World Cup, Real Madrid legend Di Stéfano passed away in a hospital in Madrid.
This match is Real Madrid's first home game of the new season, and it is natural to miss Di Stéfano at the Bernabeu Stadium, and most of the banners in the stadium are nostalgic for Di Stefano.
Di Stefano is to Real Madrid what Messi is to Barcelona.
Before Messi, Barcelona could basically only be regarded as a second-rate European giant, and under the leadership of Messi, Barcelona gradually became the top European giant.
To be precise, it should be the efforts of Ronaldinho and Messi for two consecutive generations that directly promoted Barcelona from a second-rate giant to a top giant.
When Rijkaard became the head coach of Barcelona, the then president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, said to the Black Swan: "Barcelona is the top club in Europe, I believe you can make her greater." ”
But the black swan said: "In fact, Barcelona is not the top giant in Europe, so far Barcelona has only won the Champions League once, to be like AC Milan, Liverpool has won the Champions League many times, that is the top giant in Europe." ”
That's what Rijkaard said when he was the head coach of Barcelona, and it can be seen that this is indeed the case.
However, soon with the efforts of Ronaldinho and Messi for two consecutive generations, Barcelona has now become the top giant in Europe, and no one can deny that Messi has played a greater role in this.
And Di Stefano did the same.
At the beginning, Real Madrid was only a strong team in La Liga, not much different from Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, and even slightly inferior, in the first 20 years of La Liga's history, Real Madrid only won two La Liga championships.
After Di Stéfano came to Real Madrid, he helped Real Madrid rise rapidly, winning the Champions League for five consecutive years, making Real Madrid's name resounding throughout Europe, and after five consecutive championships, he helped Real Madrid reach the Champions League final twice, but unfortunately missed the championship.
In La Liga, Di Stefano helped Real Madrid win eight La Liga titles, including four consecutive titles.
It is with these results that Real Madrid has directly become the top giant team in Europe.
Now that Di Stefano has passed away, Real Madrid fans will of course mourn and thank him for his contribution to Real Madrid.
Before the start of the game, the huge white number 9 shirt was pulled out in the middle of the Bernabeu stadium, the number worn by Di Stéfano at the time.
There are also 5 Champions League trophies, 8 La Liga trophies, plus some other small trophies, all of which were the trophies that Di Stefano won for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid started the game in a mood of revenge, in an atmosphere of nostalgia for their predecessors, and then the state was brave, Ronaldo scored twice in the first half, and the new signing Kroos expanded the score again in the second half, which can be said to almost crush Atletico Madrid.
In the 88th minute, Atletico finally scored with a header from a corner kick by Raul Garcia, giving Atletico a little hope of a comeback.
In this way, Atletico Madrid lost 1:3 to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and suffered a strong revenge from Real Madrid.
