On the way back to the hotel from Old Trafford, Yang Hao had been pondering Ferguson's proposal just now.

Of course, he is not tempted, he wants to go to Manchester United for two or three years, and then take over Ferguson's class.

This bad old man is very bad, and it is clear that he is fooling.

NND, he retired once around 02, saying that he retired after winning the Champions League once, and the result?

After winning the Champions League, did he retire?

Three years later, three years later, three years later, pure and pure is the master of fooling.

He was pondering the phenomenon that Ferguson was facing.

After crossing over from 2023, Yang Hao has a strong feeling about the current football skills and tactics, that is, they are rough and not fine enough.

Whether it is the detailed division of labor of techniques and tactics, or the analysis of team data, these are still very primitive.

This involves the talent of a team.

Yang Hao still clearly remembers that when Barcelona won the Dream Three team in 09, Guardiola had more than 30 coaches in the first team, and they were responsible for different positions.

Note that these are coaches and do not include staff.

After winning the treble, the Barcelona presidential election, after Rosell came to power, he thought that such a coaching team was too bloated, so he was cut and repeatedly streamlined, but there were about 20 people.

Why did Ferguson have to find himself an assistant coach who could take charge of himself?

The reason is actually very simple, there are more and more things.

In the past, when hiring a head coach, it was often the head coach who brought two or three coaches and was done.

At that time, everything in the team was up to the manager, and he often made decisions based on his own experience and ability.

But it's too hard.

There are more and more things, especially more and more games, and naturally there are more players, and management, training, tactical arrangements, etc., are becoming more and more refined.

Around 2023, Yang Hao often goes to see some teams, well, what he sees the most is Real Madrid's daily training, a single training often requires five or six coaches, some stand aside to record, some are responsible for helping players train, and some are responsible for communication after player training......

The division of labor is getting more and more detailed, and there are naturally more and more things.

Ferguson still follows the paternalistic coaching model of the past, and the burden on his body is naturally getting heavier and heavier.

It's even starting to be overwhelmed.

If Yang Hao is not mistaken, Ferguson should have hired Carlos Queiroz around 02.

The Portuguese man is remarkable, and the godfather of Manchester United is full of praise for him in his autobiography, believing that he is not only in charge of training and tactical arrangements, but also has helped United complete technical and tactical reforms, and even participated in the transfer of the team.

In Ferguson's words, if he retires, it is only natural for Queiroz to take over.

Of course, the tenacious and stubborn old Jazz survived one assistant coach after another, and finally came a Moyes.

In Yang Hao's previous life, he was not surprised that Moyes could not control Manchester United.

Because Everton at that time, and Manchester United, were not on the same scale at all.

It's not just the quality of the players and the cards, it's the whole logistical team at Manchester United, a scale that Everton can't possibly have.

As for why Van Gaal, Mourinho and others can't play, this is another matter, and there will be time to talk slowly in the future.

Yang Hao felt the trend of future football development from Ferguson's words.

Looking back at Atletico Madrid now, in fact, there are more than a dozen people on the coaching staff of the first team, and they have also begun to divide into levels.

Although everyone knows each other, not everyone is directly responsible for Yang Hao.

It is conceivable that with more and more personnel, the division of labor will be further excavated in the future.

And with the continuous improvement of Atletico Madrid's performance, the next poaching of Atletico Madrid will become more and more intense, and the cost of retaining players will naturally rise.

This is also the reason why Yang Hao has been urging Cerezo and Little Hill to hurry up and make money.

The number of players in the first team and the number of coaching staff will continue to increase in the coming years, and the salary package will continue to increase, and the salary pressure on the team will also increase.

If at this time, the team's income can't keep up, then there are only two ways to go.

Either they sell people, the strength of the team is greatly reduced, and they return to the path taken by teams such as Valencia, Deportivo La Coruna and Sevilla in the previous life, and it is best to be like Atletico Madrid, and be the third pole of La Liga after Real Madrid and Barcelona with peace of mind.

Occasionally, a group of players are formed, a wave of form, mixed with a league championship or something, and it is sky-high.

Either it is a high-debt operation, but Atletico Madrid is not a membership system, and without the background of Real Madrid and Barcelona, this road will not last long, so in the end, it is necessary to find a good seller and sugar daddy.

It boils down to one sentence: money!

At this stage, Atletico Madrid is not strong enough to compete with a giant team like Real Madrid.

Yang Hao's feelings about this have become deeper and deeper recently.

Because when Atletico Madrid focused on playing Manchester United in the Champions League, Real Madrid's form fell back several times in the league, Atletico Madrid didn't grasp the opportunity and rushed over in one go.

De la Morena, including Radio Serre, said that Atletico Madrid is still a breath away, and hard power is not enough.

Yes, that's just a breath away.

But where did this breath come from?

Atletico Madrid's current first-team starting lineup is still very competitive, and the bench and rotation lineup are also very good, but it is barely possible to play other teams, but if it is to play La Liga powerhouses such as Deportivo La Coruna and Real Mallorca, it will be more difficult.

Atletico Madrid are no match for Real Madrid.

The Real Madrid bench is full of McManaman, Savio, Solari, Flavio, Serrades and other players, all of whom are the humerus generals of the top teams in the four major leagues.

Even if it is the current scolded Grammie, after leaving Real Madrid, he went to the Premier League, isn't he also the main player of the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League?

Behind the huge lineup, it represents Real Madrid's huge salary expenditure and strong financial resources.

Yang Hao's feeling was particularly obvious in the 28th round of La Liga.

Real Madrid's away game against Celta Vigo was also a strong conversation.

Celta Vigo are currently ranked 6th, but just look at their start.

Bosque also played in the Champions League in midweek, so he rotated, and the rotation was not small, including Hierro, Cannavaro, Zidane, Figo, Raul, Carlos and other players were all rotated.

Facing Vigo's fierce attack on the road, Real Madrid relied on the double back combination of Claude Makelele and Flavio to hold on to the goal.

Then, after the 65th minute of the second half, Bosque made a series of substitutions, with Raul and Zidane both coming on.

In the 82nd minute, it was Zidane who assisted Raul to score.

1-0, Real Madrid defeated Celta Vigo away.

And what about Atletico?

Yang Hao's rotation idea is similar to Bosco's, but the effect is very different.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Valencia's Aimar burst through the middle and attracted the attention of defenders such as Cambiaso, and then distributed to the left, and Keeli Gonzalez took the ball from the left.

The Norwegian giant drew the attention of two centre-backs in the middle, but Angulo at the back post headed home against Patrice Evra.

When the game entered the second half, Yang Hao also made one substitution after another, and in the 72nd minute, Deco assisted Diego Forlan to score and equalize the score.

But then, no matter how Atletico attacked, they couldn't break through Valencia's goal again.

1-1, the Sheets drew with Valencia at home.

……

The decline is on display!

This is what the Spanish media said about Atletico after the 28 rounds of matches.

Since February, Atletico Madrid have obviously been unable to keep up with the pace and pace of Real Madrid.

Especially after the Copa del Rey and the Champions League started one after another, Atletico Madrid, who were fighting on both fronts, frequently fell into a predicament.

By the end of this round, Atletico had trailed Real Madrid by as many as seven points.

With 10 rounds left in the league, this is almost an unlikely gap.

After learning that Atletico Madrid drew Valencia, the Ace newspaper, which is close to Real Madrid, celebrated and built momentum in the newspaper, believing that Real Madrid was close to the La Liga championship.

"It's not that Atletico didn't play well enough, on the contrary, Atletico Madrid, who are currently on 65 points, are as many as 15 points ahead of Valencia, who are in third place, which is already a very, very good result."

"But Real Madrid are too strong!"

The newspaper even believes that with the form shown by Real Madrid this season, it is completely possible to win the league with an unprecedented number of points, which will be the most dominant league title in the history of La Liga.

Not only that, Real Madrid is also making great progress in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League is basically certain to advance to the quarterfinals, and the Copa del Rey has reached the final.

"Bosque's side have shown unprecedented dominance this season and can go hand in hand to win the treble on all three fronts of La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, which will be an unprecedented achievement in the history of Spanish football!"

For Real Madrid, the major Spanish media have praised it, while for Atletico Madrid, it is more questioning.

The reason is not difficult to guess, because since February, Atletico Madrid have repeatedly dropped points and their form is not ideal.

Although in the Champions League, they defeated Manchester United 1-0 in two games, and eliminated Deportivo La Coruna in the Copa del Rey to reach the final, but in the league, Real Madrid further widened the points gap.

Atletico's hopes of winning the title are already quite slim.

"Yang Hao's team is enough to make Atletico Madrid fans proud, but unfortunately, they met an unbeatable Real Madrid!"

After playing the 28th round of La Liga, the Copa del Rey final will be ushered in in just four days.

The Spanish media are also looking forward to this match.

Real Madrid's vice-captain, golden boy Raul, said in an interview with the media that the lead was extended to 7 points by beating Vigo Celta away, which was a rare victory for Real Madrid players.

'It was a very important game and getting the three points not only gave us a big step towards the title but also gave us confidence back, especially against Wednesday's Copa del Rey final.

Raul believes that Atletico's performances in the last two seasons have been obvious to all, that they are a very strong team, and that the Copa del Rey final coincides with Real Madrid's centenary celebrations, which makes the competition even more special.

'Yes, it's going to be a tough game but I don't think it will affect us because we're a team that's used to winning and my team-mates and I will do our best and be conscientious in the game.

'Our opponents are really tough and very good, but I've always believed that for us at Real Madrid, the win is not about the strength of the opponent, it's about ourselves.

Raul's remarks were echoed by captain Hierro.

Hierro believes that the Copa del Rey final at the Bernabeu will certainly have a special meaning for Real Madrid on the occasion of centenary celebrations, but it will not affect the determination of Real Madrid's players.

"It will make us more motivated!"

But Hierro also reminded his team-mates that Atletico are a very strong team and must not be taken lightly just because they play at home, and must be in the best form of the team.

"I believe that as long as we give our best, the victory will definitely belong to Real Madrid!"

Head coach Bosque arranged a large rotation in the previous game against Celta Vigo, and the purpose was naturally for the Copa del Rey final.

'We're in very good shape at the moment, we've been adjusting in the last few games, the team and the players are showing a very high standard and we're confident we can beat them at the Santiago Bernabeu and win the Copa del Rey!'

But Bosque denied that Real Madrid's management had given him orders to win, saying he had not received a similar request or notice.

"In fact, we all know that such a requirement cannot exist."

Real Madrid's sporting director, Baldano, also denied the existence of such a request, saying that the Copa del Rey final was a successful conclusion to Real Madrid's centenary celebrations, in which Real Madrid would beat their opponents and finish on the podium.

"The Copa del Rey is the best birthday present for the 100-year-old Real Madrid!"

"The match will be between two of the best teams in Europe and it will be a great game that will be remembered by countless fans, and we will be one of them. ”

'I can't imagine a bigger or better game at the Bernabeu for the club's centenary celebrations, and I'm sure the coaching staff and the players are ready for everything.

"We're going to win this championship!"

In addition, Zidane, Figo, Morientes, Guti and other Real Madrid superstars have been interviewed by media reporters one after another, and they have repeatedly expressed their confidence and desire to win the Copa del Rey final.

Obviously, everyone knows that this game has a very special meaning for Real Madrid.

From a hundred days ago, Real Madrid had been building up a frenzy, including countdowns, including celebrations of all kinds.

For example, when Real Madrid invites the world's three biggest tenors to gather at the Bernabeu to perform live for Real Madrid, it will be an unprecedented musical feast.

For most of the past six months, Real Madrid has cooperated with Spanish television to organize large-scale singer selection and model auditions, and the final is scheduled during Real Madrid's centennial celebrations.

On the evening of March 6, the selected rookies will perform at the festival.

For the past 100 days, Madrid's television station has repeatedly broadcast a 100-year-old feature on Real Madrid's history every week, and the ratings have been consistently high.

Spanish media such as Marca and Ace have spared no effort to promote Real Madrid's centennial celebrations.

All of this is directed to the night of March 6th.

All of a sudden, all of Europe, nay, the whole world was looking forward to the most spectacular Copa del Rey final in history.

Real Madrid fans see it as the beginning of great history.

Because from this night, they will take the first step towards the great Triple Crown!

But in the midst of the singing of praise, there was also a hint of discordant noise.

Atletico Madrid coach Yang Hao gave a special interview to the Spanish newspaper El País, and he publicly stated that Atletico Madrid will never show mercy because of Real Madrid's centennial celebration.

"On the contrary, it makes us more motivated!"

'I know Real Madrid have prepared very, very much for this, but so have we.

"I told my players that we are going to win a Maracana-style victory at Real Madrid's centenary celebration and make our team remembered by the whole world!"

Many Real Madrid fans are wondering what a Maracana-style victory is.

Real Madrid's mouthpiece Ace quickly countered, believing that Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid did not have such strength.

The so-called Maracana-style victory was the 1950 World Cup final at the Maracanã Stadium in Brazil, but Uruguay snatched the World Cup title from what they saw as a bag in front of the eyes of Brazilian fans.

This was hailed as a classic victory!

Yang Hao's meaning is also obvious, that is, to tell the world that Atletico Madrid, the spoiler, should be decided!

Real Madrid want to win the title at the centenary celebrations, don't even think about it!

……

The two teams' pre-match remarks against Mai Mang made this focus battle even more gimmicky.

As the centennial celebration approaches, this event has gradually occupied an important page of the world's major media, especially in Europe, and is entrenched on the front page of authoritative media almost every day.

Spain's King Juan Carlos and the Prime Minister will be there to congratulate him, as well as dignitaries from all levels of government, not to mention all the top levels of FIFA and UEFA.

Juan Carlos even said affectionately in a TV special program: "In my heart, Real Madrid is a symbol of Spain and a symbol of the vicissitudes of the royal family for decades. ”

Some media outlets have also revealed that Real Madrid's entire centenary celebration is unprecedented in scale, completely reflecting the grandeur of the best club of the 20th century, with a total of more than 40 celebrations costing more than 60 million euros.

In addition to the football game, there is also an activity related to Yang Hao.

That is, before the football match, in addition to the tenors and singers, the world's most famous models are invited to the Bernabeu Stadium to showcase the fashion of famous brands, including dozens of world-class supermodels.

Among them is Yang Hao's ex-girlfriend Alexandre Ambrosio.

Some media have even begun to build momentum for fear that the world will not be chaotic, thinking that Yang Hao's ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend will appear at the Bernabeu Stadium at that time, which is bound to become a beautiful scenery in this centennial celebration.

In this regard, Yang Hao refused to comment.

He never discussed his personal feelings in public.

For many media to believe that Atletico Madrid will "help" their neighbors at the juncture of Real Madrid's centennial celebration, Yang Hao gave a stern refuge.

"In our values of Atletico Madrid, fear of power is engraved in our bones, our blood flows with the genes of rebels, we are always trying to fight against power, never compromise!"

"Instead of any timidity or compromise, we're going to be better and more tenacious than ever, and we're going to fight until the last second of the game!"

"That's what we believe in Atletico Madrid!"

Yang Hao's remarks were also unanimously affirmed by Atletico Madrid players, management and celebrities, and also recognized by all non-Real Madrid fans.

Didn't Real Madrid deliberately arrange the Copa del Rey final for the centenary celebrations?

Okay, if you want to win the championship, then show your real skills!

……

Externally, Yang Hao's tone is particularly tough, but internally, Yang Hao is more focused on appeasement.

He even told the players in the team's internal meeting to try to look at the game with a normal mind.

"It's a centenary celebration for Real Madrid, not ours."

Yang Hao told Atletico Madrid's players that Real Madrid could not afford to lose this game, but Atletico could afford to lose.

"When the whole world takes it for granted that we lose, then what do we have to worry about?"

In the interim, Atletico Madrid's two resident psychologists have also begun to play a role, and they have developed a series of counselling and reassurance measures to avoid excessive pressure on the players.

Yang Hao himself is also very restrained.

Before the game, all the preparations for Atletico Madrid were carried out according to the original process, and there was no special emphasis.

Yang Hao still hopes that the players can walk into the stadium with a normal heart.

Because he knows that as long as Atletico Madrid is not in a hurry, it is Real Madrid who is in a hurry.

In their centenary celebrations, they will definitely want to win, and the more the Real Madrid club makes a big noise, the more urgent the players will be in this mood, and the more they will lose their breath on the pitch.

This is what Irueta said, before the game even started, Atletico had a certain advantage on a psychological level.

In order to give the players a calmer welcome to the game, Yang Hao declined all visits.

Including the old Hill proposed to talk to the players before the game, but Yang Hao refused, and he didn't even agree to Cerezo and Little Hill's request to add bonuses to the players.

He's going to do everything he can to make this game a normal one.

This also caused that before the game, Real Madrid's momentum was overwhelming, and there was an endless stream of activities one after another, but Atletico Madrid was particularly low-key.

Except for Yang Hao's interview and the players' support for Yang Hao, there is basically no other news.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, has always been on the cusp of the limelight, and the team's preparation has attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid have to win this game.

If it is well known that Juan Carlos, the king of Spain, is a die-hard Real Madrid fan, then Spanish Prime Minister Arsenal revealed in an interview with the media, "I wanted to be a player like Di Stefano at the age of 7 and play for Real Madrid. ”

Once again, this is a huge concern.

Everyone can see that Real Madrid has worked hard for this centennial celebration.

On the day of the race, while the United Kingdom, Germany and other regions were still snowing, Madrid, located on the Iberian Peninsula, was sunny and clear.

Spring is coming!

……

"All the commemorations are ready, and we've rehearsed them a few days ago."

On the morning of the Copa del Rey final, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is temporarily open to the public with only the fans' memorial and shops, and all visits to the stadium have been closed to the stadium as the countdown to the centenary celebrations has begun.

In charge of the centenary celebrations is Rodriguez, the artistic director of the famous multinational media group Carat, who is accompanying Florentino and a group of Real Madrid executives to the site to inspect the process and preparations for tonight's celebration.

"When the time comes, we will put all the trophies that the club has won in the past 100 years, on both sides of the entrance of the stadium, connecting to the stage in the middle of the stadium."

"The bands we invited were world-class, and they were going to play live, and the warm-up was the singers who won the singing auditions and were liked by the fans, and they came in from 18 o'clock."

"After the singer's performance, there will be a fashion show of more than 20 world-class supermodels, who will wear the fashions of major brands, walk out of the players' tunnel, and come back to the other side of the stage."

"Then it was Domingo singing our team anthem, and other soprano singers like Carreras performing to bring the whole atmosphere to the climax in preparation for the Copa del Rey final."

Rodriguez is the artistic director of one of the best celebrations in Europe, having hosted many very successful major celebrations, including some at the national level.

This time, Florentino also spent a lot of money to invite him to create this centennial celebration for Real Madrid.

"Is the celebration still presided over by the king and queen?" Florentino asked with concern.

"Yes, the king is looking forward to it." Rodriguez laughed.

All Real Madrid fans around the world are also looking forward to it.

This time, all walks of life have given Real Madrid extremely high standard treatment, from the royal family to the government, from UEFA to FIFA.

For example, as early as last year, FIFA announced that December 18, 2002 was officially designated as [Real Madrid Day], on this day, Real Madrid will play a friendly match against the World Stars United at the Bernabeu.

There's nothing about it.

The point is that no official tournament can be held anywhere in the world on this day.

That is, on December 18, on the entire planet, there is only this official match at the Bernabeu.

This shows how high FIFA has given Real Madrid.

And tonight, the Santiago Bernabéu stadium was filled with not only Spanish and European political and business celebrities, but also ambassadors and dignitaries from other countries.

There are three former presidents of the United States alone, which is definitely an unprecedented high standard in the sports world.

It can be said that Florentino took great pains for this game.

After inspecting the Bernabeu Stadium, Florentino and his party returned to the administrative office.

"How's Bosque's preparations?" Florentino asked with concern as soon as he sat down.

'Everything is going well, the players have been rotated before, so hopefully they can go into tonight in the best possible condition.'

Florentino was a little relieved, "What about Atletico Madrid?" ”

"There's no news coming out, it's very low-key."

Florentino nodded, in the face of such overwhelming publicity from Real Madrid, it is impossible for Atletico Madrid not to be low-key.

As far as the Sheets Army is concerned, what can you do with Real Madrid?

"Still have to be careful and tell Bosque that tonight's game is very, very, very important!"

Florentino stressed it three times in a row.

'The media from all over the world are watching the Santiago Bernabeu tonight, following the game, and we have a grand celebration that has never been seen in football, and it is very majestic, and now it is just a trophy for him.

Baldano nodded, he knew the importance of this matter.

Real Madrid's management has done so many things, just to take advantage of this opportunity to beat Real Madrid's momentum and promote the brand, and whether it can beat Atletico Madrid tonight and win the Copa del Rey is particularly important.

"I've always been paying attention to public opinion, and I was very low-key before the race, so the outside world is basically not optimistic about this team, and even thinks that it will be difficult for them to win." Butragueno laughed.

Obviously, this is a good thing for Real Madrid.

"I hope so." Florentino sighed.

I don't know why, he has never been able to rest assured of Yang Hao.

It was a very special feeling, and even he couldn't explain it clearly.

From the perspective of strength, Real Madrid has superstars such as Zidane, Raul, Figo, Morientes, Carlos and Casillas, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to crush Atletico Madrid's group of baby soldiers, right?

Tonight is playing at home at the Bernabeu again, and Real Madrid have created momentum and atmosphere again.

Florentino really can't think of any reason for Real Madrid to lose tonight?

On more than one occasion, he even heard many guests, including King Juan Carlos, say that it was best to play a hearty victory tonight, and take Atletico Madrid away with a wave of flashy attacking football that best reflects Real Madrid's temperament.

Not only to win, but also to win so that the whole world is amazed and convinced.

The best superstars, the best football, the best clubs.

This is called aristocracy!

This is Real Madrid!

But in the deepest part of Florentino's heart, he was still somewhat worried and insecure.

Yang Hao, the bastard, always plays cards out of common sense and is always unexpected.

Thinking of this, Florentino found himself unable to do anything.

"Jorge."

Baldano nodded.

"You're a professional and the sporting director of the team, help me look at the point, I can't lose tonight!"

Baldano nodded heavily, "Don't worry, we won't mess up!" ”

"Okay, I trust you."

With that, Florentino slapped his legs and got up from the couch.

"Let's go, come with me to meet our guests."

……

Although it is Real Madrid's centennial celebration, in fact, this match is still arranged in strict accordance with the specifications of the Copa del Rey final.

For example, tonight, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid walked into the Santiago Bernabeu stadium with half of the fans.

But the guests were basically Real Madrid's guests, and they all sat in the chairman's stand.

When the players of both teams, led by referee Mejuto Gonzalez, walked out of the players' tunnel one after another and entered the Bernabeu stadium, the audience burst into applause.

Fans from both teams in the stands.

Obviously, after just experiencing an extremely lively performance, the atmosphere of the scene has been pushed to a climax.

Yang Hao was the last to leave the locker room.

When he walked around the corner of the players' tunnel, he happened to see the supermodels who had just finished changing in the changing room after the show had just finished coming out of it and walking towards the stands.

When they saw Yang Hao, many people nodded with a smile.

Obviously, they had also heard of Yang Hao's name.

"Hello, Yang." Ambrosio walked over generously and hugged Yang Hao politely.

"It's a shame I didn't get to see your performance just now."

Yang Hao broke up with her peacefully, both of them handled the relationship very well, they were still friends with each other, and even Yang Hao was thinking that he could make an appointment to get together when he had time in the future.

"Good luck tonight."

"Thank you." Yang Hao smiled and nodded.

When I walked out of the players' tunnel, I saw the two teams of players lining up in front for a group photo, and in the middle was the huge Copa del Rey flag.

As soon as Yang Hao walked out, he saw Bosque walking towards him, and immediately stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Hello, Vicente."

"Welcome to the Bernabeu!" Bosque shook hands with Yang Hao.

"Hopefully tonight will be a good game."

Yang Hao nodded, "Me too." ”

The two of them each walked towards the coach's box.

As a sworn enemy in the same city, Atletico Madrid vowed to fight Real Madrid tonight, so it was a needle to the point in many things.

For example, Atletico Madrid fans were in the stands and opened a huge Tifo with the Real Madrid crest on it, but the crown at the very top of the crest was removed, and next to it was the Atletico Madrid crest, wearing the crown that originally belonged to Real Madrid.

After opening it out, the scene resounded with the enthusiastic cheers of Atletico Madrid fans.

This means that Atletico Madrid fans are declaring war!

Tonight, Atletico vows to rip off Real Madrid's underwear!

Real Madrid fans are cheering for tonight's game, hoping that the superstars in the stadium can continue to do their best.

……

Goalkeepers: Casillas;

Defence: Carlos, Hierro, Cannavaro and Salgado;

Midfielders: Claude Makelele and Elgra trail behind, Zinedine Zidane, Raul and Figo up front;

Forward: Morientes.

This is the starting line-up for Real Madrid tonight.

After two seasons of running-in, Zidane and Figo have fully integrated into the team, and the cooperation between them and Raul seems to be more tacit.

Although Real Madrid's squad is 4231, in fact, in the game, they will not play step by step at all.

Raul tends to move closer to the right, giving up the left side of the middle to Zidane, and he is very close to Morientes and is used to plugging in from behind.

There are even times when even Figo on the right side is actively leaning towards the middle.

Real Madrid's superstars play individual performances, and each player has super individual ability.

Not to mention anything else, Zidane, Raul, Figo and Morientes, just these four players are in front, who dares to be careless?

Not to mention, there's a Carlos in the back.

Atletico Madrid lined up 4321 tonight.

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar;

Defence: Aurelio, Carvalho, Lucio and Belletti;

Midfielders: Cambiasso, Simeone and Baraja trail behind, Deco and Kaka up front;

Forward: Adriano.

Yang Hao still adopts the 4321 formation in this game.

After several tough battles before, he began to realize the benefits of this tactical style of play, that is, the defense is really solid, and this time in the face of the star-studded Real Madrid, Yang Hao still adopted this style of play.

It also showed everyone his attitude tonight, which was to defend and counterattack.

Real Madrid is playing at home, and at the same time it is necessary to win, and Atletico Madrid is to use this psychology to attack Real Madrid's defense with the team's sharp counterattack.

Even if Bosque guessed Atletico's intentions, there was nothing he could do.

Because there is no way back now.

To everyone's surprise, Atletico Madrid obviously discharged a relatively conservative 4321 tactic, but when the referee blew the whistle, the Sheets Army took the initiative to press it out.

When Real Madrid kicked off, they immediately felt this kind of pressing pressure from Atletico Madrid, and it was very strong and resolute.

The front three all rushed into Real Madrid's half, and the back three and four defenders followed suit.

This came as a bit of a surprise to Real Madrid.

When Carlos tried to push the ball across the halfway line on the left, Baraja rushed over and slid the ball out of bounds, but also tripped Carlos.

The referee did not blow the whistle, but signaled for the game to continue, Real Madrid's throw-in.

Carlos threw a throw-in vigorously and threw it straight to the front of the court, trying to find Morientes, but Lucio decisively went around and pushed the ball back.

The ball shuttled back and forth near the halfway line and the game was fast-paced, with both sides scrambling fiercely.

Real Madrid showed aggressive momentum from the start, wanting to take Atletico Madrid down in one go.

But obviously, they didn't expect that Atletico Madrid would be very positive after the opening and actually play hard-to-head with Real Madrid.

Isn't it about defending and counterattacking?

Bosque turned his head and glanced at Yang Hao in front of the coach's seat of the visiting team, feeling a little helpless.

His idea is to use the opening game to attack directly, and if it goes well, he will directly take Atletico Madrid away.

In his opinion, Atletico Madrid's offensive tactics are not very likely.

At least in terms of strength, Real Madrid still has such self-confidence.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hao did not play conservatively after the opening, but took the initiative to press out.

Bosque was thinking about it when suddenly the situation in the stadium changed.

Atletico snatched the ball near the halfway line and passed it to Kaka.

The Brazilian stopped the ball and went forward, started directly, and was about to soar with the ball.

But before he could start, Makelele stepped out and intercepted him directly with the ball, and he didn't foul.

There was a burst of cheers from Real Madrid fans.

"It was a very nice tackle!"

"We saw that Real Madrid quickly passed forward and handed it to Zinedine Zidane."

"Zidane went down the middle, and Baraja and Belletti were both flanked at the same time."

"Atletico snatched the ball again and defended very tightly."

"If you go forward, it's still handed over to Kaka in the gap."

"Kaka stops the ball, starts quickly, rushes forward with the ball, and passes to Deco."

'Deco got rid of Elgra and crossed diagonally to Adriano at the top of the box.

"Adriano turned his back to the attack, stopped the ball with his left foot, turned and hit the goal!"

Casillas struggled to save the ball.

"It was the first shot of the game tonight, a long-range shot from the top of Adriano's box!"

'Atletico didn't play conservatively tonight.

"Cannavaro was in a one-on-one situation, and he was a little reluctant to defend Adriano."

"It seems that it will not be easy for Real Madrid to win tonight."

"As a sworn enemy in the same city, Atletico Madrid is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated."
