As Atletico walked up and down the bus, countless enthusiastic calls rushed towards them.

Simeone spoke to the media and the players went straight to the dressing room.

"As I said, it's a tough match, and it's a showdown at the top!"

Speaking to the press group, Simeone said: "It's normal for the media not to be optimistic about us, and I'm not sad or depressed about it. All I'm going to do tonight is play tactically.

Regarding the duel between Lee and Bale, there have been reports in the British media recently.

Bell's speed is indeed fast, but the characteristics of the two of them are completely different, Lee's absolute speed is indeed very impressive, but he uses his breakthrough skills more.

Everyone has also seen his recent breakthroughs in small spaces, which Bale can't match.

So, I don't think the two of them are players at the same level.

Perhaps someone is not happy to hear these words, but facts are facts.

You'll see the difference between them tonight!

As for whether Lee will start or not, you will find out later. ”

Simeone expressed his opinion on some recent media reports.

The reaction of the reporters was quite calm, after all, everything depends on the result of the game.

Soon after, the Real Madrid manager and the stars arrived at the stadium and the reporters called out to them.

Carlo Ancelotti said: "It's actually just an ordinary La Liga game, we can accept the win or defeat. The season is still a long one, and the outcome of this game will not affect anything. ”

】

Cristiano Ronaldo said: "We won, that's for sure! ”

Balle said: "I've been following some media talk about me and Lee lately, because we're two different players and we both have our own characteristics.

I don't think it's going to be a big deal for the two of us, it's unfair to the other players.

I will try to be myself, and Lee will definitely do well!

As for what the outcome will be, it's up to God to decide! ”

……

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the upcoming battle at the top.

The stadium instantly became empty.

The vast majority of fans from both sides have entered the stands.

The Bernabeu, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, has an astonishing attendance rate of 90%!

This is a very exaggerated number, considering that in last season's Spanish national derby, the attendance of the Bernabeu was only 80%!

This game is a full 10% improvement!

There were more than 200 reporters on the scene, and reporters from almost all regions came, plus some European media, the number exceeded 200.

You can see the attention of this game.

Some people believe that such a high level of attention has something to do with Li Chuanqi and Ronaldo.

Just like the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, the showdown between Ronaldo and Messi is the biggest attraction and the biggest appeal.

Li Chuanqi beat Messi and Ronaldo last season, won La Liga and the Champions League Golden Boot, and has become the hottest star in world football today, becoming a star comparable to the two of them.

The official website of UEFA has published an exclusive interview with Li Chuanqi many times, which is making stars.

A sport that gets noticed is often the superstars.

In today's world football, Messi and Cristian are unique, and some people call them "peerless double pride".

In just one year, Li Chuanqi has become a new idol through his wonderful goals, faintly on a par with the two.

Of course, this still needs to be supported by results, and a La Liga title is not enough for him to really compete with Messi and Ronaldo.

At least he has to win the Champions League once so that he will not be criticized.

In the visiting dressing room, Simeone announced the starting line-up, and Li Chuanqi did not enter.

In fact, he knew the news yesterday, because Simeone had told him in advance that he would not start tonight's game, both because he had just recovered from injury and because it was related to the Champions League group stage in three days' time.

"Real Madrid's quick counter-attack is very characteristic, all we have to do is to make a crazy counter-attack as soon as we lose the ball!

Anti-robbery!

Anti-robbery! ”

Simeone looked at his midfielder and said loudly: "While counter-robbing, you have to immediately return to the defense in place, compete for the first landing point, and don't give the opponent a chance to turn around!"

Complement each other!

It's not terrible to lose the position, but the terrible thing is that after the loss, we don't know what to do!

If your teammates make up for the defense, you have to make up for the positions of your teammates! ”

Simeone's emphasis is on defense the most, because this is an away game, and Atletico are not a team that pursues possession, so there are not many chances for Atletico to get the ball tonight.

Defending well, counter-attacking, that's the tactics Simeone has for tonight's game.

Regarding Li Chuanqi's use, there is one thing he did not explain to Li Chuanqi, that is, the two sides were basically consuming and testing each other in the first half.

The real showdown will come in the second half, when the players' fitness drops and the defense is more likely to go wrong.

At this time, let Li Chuanqi play, he will have plenty of physical energy to tear apart Real Madrid's defense.

That's what Simeone really thinks.

In a big battle like this, everyone is very cautious, it is difficult to score in the first half, it is completely a war of attrition.

Home team dressing room.

Carlo Ancelotti laid out the tactics in detail, and the players listened attentively.

When the Italian arrived, he used his own gentle drizzle to defuse the tension and antagonism in the dressing room, which was in stark contrast to Mourinho.

Coupled with Zinedine Zidane on the left, the Real Madrid dressing room was reunited.

'I want everyone to be a little more relaxed, it's just a normal La Liga game, the season has just begun, and the outcome of this game doesn't decide anything.

Relax and believe in yourself.

That's the only thing I ask of you! ”

Zinedine Zidane expressed his opinion on the game: "Atletico is not what it used to be, they have become a threat to us!

There is only one king in a city, and if Real Madrid wants to become the king of the city, they must do everything possible to win tonight! ”

The attitude of the French was clearly different from that of Ancelotti, and it was strange that the Italians did not have any grievances and did not correct them.

……

At half past nine, the starters of both sides appeared in the players' tunnel.

Neither of them paid any attention to the other, as was the case with the city derby.

At 9:45 a.m., the starters of both sides followed the referee out of the players' tunnel.

They were greeted with enthusiastic cheers and applause.

The Madrid sports narrator exclaimed: "The starters of both sides have entered the stadium and the Madrid derby is about to begin!"

Let's start by introducing the starting rosters of both sides.

Simeone is still in a four-four-two formation, goalkeeper: Courtois; Four defenders: Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Felipe; Four midfielders: Koke, Cristian Rodriguez, Gabi, Turan; Two strikers: Diego Costa, Villa!

Carlo Ancelotti lined up in a four-two-three-one formation, goalkeeper: Diego López; Defenders: Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrão; Double midfielders: Yinlia Mendy, Khedira; Three midfielders: Di Maria, Insco, Ronaldo; Single striker: Benzema!

Lee and Bale, who have attracted much attention, did not start! ”
