284 Legends about Atletico Madrid! Genius Messi's opening game [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
While Atletico Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna are competing for the Spanish Super Cup in distant Asia, there is a fierce clash in Spain because of the upcoming La Liga season.
At present, two of the largest pay TVs in Spain, the traditional boss AVS and the emerging MDP, have finally started a war.
First, MDP took AVS to court, demanding that they immediately pay the TV broadcast fees owed last season, amounting to nearly 100 million euros, or they will be excluded from the subcontractor of the live broadcast of La Liga in the new season.
AVS immediately began to fight back, arguing that MDP had signed a contract with AVS, but MDP had reneged on the contract.
The reason is that Valencia has sprung up.
Under the initial La Liga broadcast subcontract, MDP had a third option.
That is, Telefónica can give preference to the two matches that will be broadcast live, and the rest will be MDP's.
Since the first round of La Liga is a Madrid derby, Telefónica chose the Madrid derby and the match between Barcelona and Racing Santander to win all three of the Spanish Super League.
Jose Mourinho's La Liga debut attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
MDP will subcontract the rest of the matches.
However, after winning the broadcast rights of La Liga at a high price, MDP did not have such a strong national coverage and user base at the beginning.
In recent years, MDP has developed rapidly, but it is still slightly inferior to AVS.
Therefore, they signed a subcontracting agreement with AVS early on, and the specific content of the agreement is unknown to outsiders.
But there was a huge controversy in the first round of the season.
With the strong entry of the Abu Dhabi consortium, Valencia's sudden emergence has led to a star-studded Bat Legion, which has attracted a lot of attention not only in the entire Valencia region, but also in Spain and overseas.
What's more, Valencia faced Villarreal in the first round.
The results of the Yellow Submarine in recent years are also very good, and they cannot be compared with the three masters of the Western Super League, but at least they are firmly at the top of La Liga, and the style of play is also very good-looking, which has led to this Valencia regional derby receiving a lot of attention.
AVS also felt that the game was decided, so it warmed up and promoted it early, and it is said that even advertisers have been found and are waiting for the war.
As a result, MDP suddenly announced that the game would change the way it was broadcast and adopt a form of PPV, that is, a single pay.
That is, the retransmission rights of AVS were withdrawn.
That's outrageous!
AVS, of course, quit and announced that it would refuse to pay the TV broadcast fees due last season.
The two sides became more and more quarrelsome, and finally it was out of control.
MDP directly sued AVS in court, and AVS also sued MDP, MDP threatened to turn off AVS's live signal, AVS said that if you dare to turn off the live signal, labor and management will not pay......
The whole thing was in a uproar.
Before La Liga started the war, the broadcast market started to fight first.
The Marca newspaper deeply analyzed the crux of the two sides, pointing out that the key point of the contradiction lies in the battle for local broadcasting rights at the beginning of next year.
Three years ago, because of AVS's blind support, he made himself a sworn enemy, and watched MDP change from the original subcontractor to the number one rival in the past few years, and the pressure on AVS was incomprehensible to outsiders.
Three years of enduring humiliation, coupled with the rapid development of MDP in the past three years, and the current situation in La Liga, make AVS determined to grab the local broadcast rights this time, so that there is no need to look at MDP's face anymore.
And what about MDP?
They have tasted the sweetness and of course hope that AVS will continue to cooperate amicably as it has done in the past three years.
I came forward to grab the copyright, and then subcontracted it to you at a reasonable price, you and I are hello everyone.
Why did you come out and rob me?
But AVS doesn't see it that way.
It seems like everyone is good, but your market share is rising so fast that it is already a serious threat to my position.
Let you take it for another three years, and I, the boss of Spanish pay TV, will give it to you.
As a result, the two sides were at a stalemate, which caused this turmoil.
La Liga has also stood up to express its position, saying that the two major broadcasters must reach an agreement before the start of the new season of La Liga, and in any case, it must not affect the fans' appreciation of the new season of La Liga.
This is tantamount to putting a tight spell on both sides.
You are making trouble, how to divide the cake is your business, but the overall situation must be stabilized, and the fans can't suffer!
This statement won the unanimous praise of the Spanish fans.
The Spanish government has also said it welcomes such market competition.
The reason is actually very simple.
In the past few years, Spain's domestic pay TV market has been a stagnant pool, and the boss AVS has taken Real Madrid and Barcelona to make money lying down, and they don't have much incentive to develop the market at all.
Before, it was even revealed that they were holding the broadcast rights of La Liga, and they were still losing money every year, which is not too outrageous.
It's all copyrighted in my country, look at what Sky TV did in the UK, and then look at your ......
There is competition, there is pressure, and there is the motivation to further develop the market.
It's good for everyone to make the whole cake bigger.
Feedback from all parties in Spain was also swift.
After the La Liga League and the Spanish government successively expressed their positions, everyone basically concluded that the La Liga broadcast would go on as scheduled, and the two major broadcasters seemed to be making a fuss, but in fact they were all posturing to add bargaining chips to the negotiations.
At the end of the day, it's all about creating momentum to put pressure on your opponent.
Judging from the current competitive situation, the competition for local broadcast rights in La Liga will become more and more fierce in the future.
MDP needs to consolidate the rich gains of the past three years, while AVS needs to regain lost ground and regain its strength.
Both sides are determined to win!
……
In addition to this fierce clash in the broadcast market, La Liga has also done a lot of work and warm-up for the new season of La Liga.
In Madrid, for example, they organized a symposium dedicated.
Bigwigs from La Liga and La Liga clubs, professionals from the media industry, some famous head coaches, and research experts from some football market research institutions were invited.
Everyone came together to talk freely, and the focus was on how to organize La Liga better.
Former Real Madrid coach Bosque was also present and gave a speech.
He took over the topic of a research institute and believed that the attendance market in La Liga had picked up, but it was still low.
Bosque is the manager, but he says he's a fan and he thinks the most important thing is to make the fans feel like they're getting the money's worth.
"When they watched the game and walked out of the pitch, the most important thing they wanted to say was, it was really enjoyable!"
"I think all the fans are coming into the stadium for this."
So, according to Bosque, the key factor is also style.
Last season, he coached at Huelva, he performed very well, and he was recognized as having a good style of football, and Marcelino, who was poached by Racing Santander this season, also agrees with this statement.
The young coach said that the level of La Liga players is actually very high, and the overall strength is put into European football, which is the best, not to mention the three masters of the Spanish Super League, not even Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, Sevilla and other teams.
"Even teams like Espanyol, Real Betis, Mallorca, etc., when they meet those top teams in the Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga, they all have the strength to fight, and they can even beat their opponents."
"Our players are very high-level and we have no rivals in the major leagues in the world in terms of overall technical skills."
Marcelino mentioned the aesthetics of football, and the one he admires the most is Atletico Madrid.
"I once talked to Yang Hao about this topic after the game, and he told me that the development trend of football tactics is to become more and more detailed, technology and ball control can bring more changes, play more details, and the straight tactics of the past are no longer feasible."
"The advantage of the Premier League is that the pace is faster, and La Liga is a better combination of man and ball, which is actually not contradictory, and we see that Atletico Madrid can also show a richer and more detailed combination of man and ball in a fast-paced situation, and play a better football aesthetic."
And when it comes to Yang Hao, Aragonés has more right to speak.
He even gave a violent theory, unless you have a head coach like Yang Hao, otherwise, the so-called beautiful football often depends on the amount of investment.
"But one thing cannot be denied, in England, the status of coaches is relatively high and very stable, but in La Liga, the status of coaches is low and unstable."
"This leads to a very real problem, the team fires the coach at every turn, and the coach is under pressure to survive, and the most important thing for them when they coach is to think about the results as soon as possible."
"Let's not talk about the three giants of the Western Super League, let's talk about Villarreal and Sevilla, they have given enough attention to the manager, so the coach has a solid position, is familiar with the team, and is skilled in cooperation, and can play football at a higher level."
Aragonés pointed out that a high level of football does not necessarily mean flashy attacking football.
It's a different football aesthetic for the head coach.
Aragonés, for example, is not able to play the kind of good football that Atletico Madrid has, and he is better at counter-attacking defensively.
And Mourinho too.
Could it be that the level of such a head coach is not high?
"Yang Hao once said that a lone branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring."
"I think that La Liga and the referee committee should guide in law enforcement and encourage attack, which caters to the current market demand, but La Liga teams can choose the tactics that suit them according to their actual situation."
"In terms of clubs, the bigwigs should give more support and trust to the head coach, don't fire at every turn, last season, we had several teams change three or four managers in one go, did the results improve?"
As Real Madrid's manager, Arsene Wenger also took part in the discussion.
He believes that the competition in La Liga is now more fierce than in the Premier League.
"From a purely football point of view, I think La Liga will not lose, or even better than the Premier League, whether it is ornamental, or technical and tactical content, in the past few years, La Liga has been leading the technical and tactical development of European football."
The professor believes that La Liga is developing rapidly in terms of globalization, and although it is not as good as the Premier League at the moment, as long as the current trend is maintained, it will be a matter of time before it is surpassed.
As for the issue of local attendance, which many people have mentioned, Wenger is well versed in the communication channels between Premier League teams and the community after many years of coaching in the UK, and he believes that La Liga teams are still not doing as well as the Premier League in this regard.
Or even far less.
Even teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona are doing a worse job in terms of community involvement.
"Maybe it's too much of a rush to internationalize."
Arsene Wenger believes that the best at this is Atletico.
"I recently heard about one thing, that is, after Atletico moved into the new stadium, the ticket price went up, it became news, and many people were criticizing Atletico Madrid for the increase in ticket prices, but I looked at it online and found that many Atletico Madrid fans were complaining."
"Ha, they all said that from 2000 to the present, Atletico Madrid's tickets have not risen much, and the new stadium has spent so much money, what's the matter with the increase? Atletico Madrid fans themselves didn't say anything, and it was your turn to come out and croak like you media reporters who didn't buy tickets? ”
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
"I think it's a very in-depth case to study because as far as I know, Atletico have been deeply involved in the community culture over the last few years, and they have a fan service department that specializes in this area."
"In addition, I have heard of a move to name one of the stands as Vicente Calderón Grandstand after Atletico moves into the new stadium, which is specially intended for Atletico fans, and it is said that they can even bind a specific seat directly to the club for a long time."
"It's actually a very thoughtful initiative and it's very popular with Atletico fans, because every time they walk into this stadium, they sit in that position and watch the game, and that's their place."
"So I heard that all the season tickets for Atletico Madrid this season are all sold out, and the 76,500 tickets are basically hard to find, leaving a little bit of maneuver."
Arsene Wenger also mentioned the impact of globalisation on the Premier League.
Every game will attract a lot of foreign tourists, and even foreign tourists to buy tickets to watch the game, which also occupies a certain proportion.
And following Wenger's words, Aragonés and Bosque are the most vocal in this regard.
Both men agreed with Wenger's analysis, while also pointing to some deeper issues.
Bosque, who previously coached Real Madrid, saw that La Liga used to be chaotic, with strikes and salary arrears due to various reasons, which often led to problems in the game.
Coupled with the unreasonable scheduling, this brings a very bad experience for fans to watch the game.
What's even more outrageous is that the refund mechanism is still very bad, and there have even been several times when the game has been suspended, but the fans have not been able to refund the tickets, which has seriously dissuaded enthusiastic fans.
Instead of that, it's better to sit at home and watch the live stream.
Aragonés mentioned another point, which he believes is a bit of a quick success, which is the increase in ticket prices.
Over the past few years, La Liga teams have generally been in a difficult situation, with clubs under huge debt pressure and poor management.
So what to do?
For the teams in the middle and lower reaches, there is no international market, no European revenue, and the broadcast fee income is also very bad, and the majority of it is taken away by Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Commercial income, match day income and broadcast fee income, the three major pieces, without two, can only be hard to increase the game day income, so the ticket has been rising, and the opinions of fans are also very large.
Some people with high incomes can endure it and pass, for the sake of their beloved team, but many middle- and lower-class fans can't watch it directly, so it's better to watch the live broadcast at home.
In addition, the disparity in the strength of La Liga at that time was obvious, and many fans of weak teams went to watch the game?
No, they are going to be masochistic.
This is true of all underdog fans all over the world, so there has to be something to support them to go into the stadium to support the team, and building a community culture is a key part.
But it costs money.
The previous clubs are all in danger, who has the money to invest in these?
The price is rising here as desperately, and the construction is neglected there, and the end result is this.
"But the situation has improved significantly recently and we can see that Deportivo has seen a very rapid increase in attendance, now it has reached more than 80 per cent, which is very impressive, in previous years they were only 65 per cent."
Due to the size of the population of A Coruña, the attendance of Super Laco has not been high.
But in the past year, it has improved rapidly, which has a lot to do with the localization of A Coruña.
The same is true for Villarreal.
Since reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, the Yellow Submarine has started to break the circle and gradually attract fans from the surrounding area, and the attendance rate has increased to around 82% last season, which is also quite an easy task.
There's also a more intuitive way, and that's throwing money.
Valencia also had a low attendance rate of around 61% in the past, but after a series of strong reinforcements this season, ticket sales at home were very gratifying, especially in a few major games, which were hard to find.
So, it's clear to see that the ball market of the Bat Legion is picking up.
Aragonés believes that the professional football league is an industry that requires long-term and stable investment, whether it is aspiring to enter professional football or already engaged in professional football, it is necessary to be aware of and respect this objective law.
"It has taken seven years for Atletico Madrid to go from being on the verge of bankruptcy to now, and this is because they have a world-class coach like Yang Hao, and they give them great trust and support."
"Other teams are only going to be longer, which requires all those involved to be more patient and take a long-term view."
……
La Liga has played an increasingly obvious role in the development of La Liga as a whole.
Symposiums like this one have also attracted wide coverage and attention in Spain and abroad.
Atletico Madrid is still in Japan and South Korea, and Yang Hao did not attend, but the legend about Yang Hao and Atletico runs through the entire process of the symposium.
Both the Marca newspaper and the Spanish television station are focusing on the report and congratulating the complete success of the forum.
It was also during this symposium that Espanyol president Daniel Sánchez Libre announced that a consortium from Russia was seeking to buy RCD Espanyol in Barcelona.
This is another foreign consortium to enter La Liga, following the acquisition of Valencia by the Abu Dhabi consortium.
There have been rumours in the industry that Russian billionaire Usmanov is scouting teams from Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
It was also rumoured that Madrid's Getafe, Barcelona's Espanyol and Valencia's Levante were all shortlisted for Usmanov, and in the end, the Russians targeted Barcelona.
In La Liga's previous financial audit, Espanyol currently has a debt of more than 60 million euros.
According to the assessment, the Spaniard's assets are around 150 million euros.
Therefore, Usmanov considered buying Espanyol for 100 million euros, taking on all the debts of the club and promising to invest at least another 100 million euros in the club in the 08/09 season after the completion of the acquisition.
At present, the acquisition has just begun to negotiate and is progressing fairly well, but it is tentatively estimated that the transfer will not be completed until at least the end of the year, or even next year.
Espanyol manager Ernesto Valverde has publicly stated that he welcomes the acquisition if it eases the club's financial pressures, pays the salary arrears owed to the players, and brings more competitive players to the team to improve the team's results.
After seeing Valencia being bought by the Abu Dhabi consortium, the squad was immediately updated, the market was bullish, and Espanyol fans began to fall into contradictions.
On the other hand, they are a little awkward and do not want the club they support to be bought by foreign capital.
But in the midst of this ambivalence, not many people have come forward to protest.
At the end of the day, the club's debt needs to be settled.
The debt of 60 million euros includes arrears of player salaries and transfer fees for the recruitment of non-commissioned players.
Now that the Spaniards are still losing money, Daniel Sanchez Libre has been wanting to make a move for a long time.
To some extent, being bought by a Russian consortium is not necessarily a bad thing.
In this regard, the Spaniards are actually a little more open than Barcelona.
Yang Hao received the news when the team returned to Madrid from Seoul, South Korea, and landed.
He wasn't surprised that he had already received some information before.
For a long time in the future, as long as there are suitable buyers, the middle and lower teams of La Liga will be in a hurry to make a move.
The reason is simple, they really don't have money.
As soon as Usmanov visited the three cities in La Liga this time, Getafe, Levante and Espanyol came up with a lot of debt.
What?
Do you have broadcast fee income in the next few years?
That's all for later.
What if not?
Besides, how many?
For these small and medium-sized teams with as little as 50 million or 60 million and as much as more than 100 million in debt, it is the king to make a move as soon as possible.
Not to mention La Liga, the same is true for small and medium-sized teams in the Premier League.
As soon as Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra made a move, Manchester City immediately knelt down to greet him.
As strong as Arsenal, vice chairman David Dunn is still pulling investment everywhere.
To put it bluntly, no one knows what will happen in the future, but now that the owner of the money has come to take over, let's let it go as soon as possible.
What's more, people like Daniel Sanchez Libre, who has been in professional football for a few years, know that with the current situation in La Liga, the competition will be more fierce in the future.
Yes, your income has increased, but your investment has to increase accordingly.
It may even end up that in order to ensure that you stay in La Liga, the increase in investment is not as much as the increase in income.
All of this boils down to one word, dish!
Neither have the ability to operate well, but also have no money to invest, and some people even had impure purposes when they first entered the market, and now they have the opportunity not to sell and keep it for the New Year?
Yang Hao returned to Madrid with the Spanish Super Cup championship and was also warmly welcomed by Atletico Madrid fans.
The club also took this opportunity to start a brief opening ceremony of the headquarters building, and by the way, the Spanish Super Cup championship trophy was sent to the museum.
The new museum, located on the ground floor of Atletico's headquarters, is so large that the trophy inside is somewhat empty.
Therefore, the president of the club, Cerezo, said that he hoped that everyone would continue to work hard and try to fill the museum as soon as possible.
The next fan shop and medical service station were also opened on the same day.
Atletico Madrid are also making good on their promises, especially at the medical service station, which has been very popular with Atletico fans.
Incidentally, after 3 months of clearance, Calderón Stadium has disappeared without a trace.
A curving M30 motorway is left at the site, reminding everyone that there was once a football stadium here.
Next, municipal works will be entered, and the twin towers project will also be fully launched.
The Petronas Twin Towers project is expected to take three years and cost a total of 700 million euros.
After attending the opening ceremony of the headquarters building, Yang Hao stayed with the team at the Mahada Hongda training base, concentrating on preparing for the first round of the new season, visiting the Bernabeu Stadium to challenge Real Madrid.
Everyone knows that the first round of the season is not easy.
It has nothing to do with whether it is the first game or not, it is mainly a matter of the tempo of the game.
Atletico Madrid have been on a long journey all summer, and this time they came back from Japan and South Korea, also focusing on adjustment and recovery.
The first round of La Liga was played on August 25, with the Madrid derby being the opening match.
Not to mention Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid, the whole world is paying special attention.
But Yang Hao is looking at another thing, and that is another match on the same day, Sevilla against Getafe.
In his previous life, the 22-year-old Puerta had problems in this match.
Just when Yang Hao was struggling with whether to do something, the day after Atletico Madrid returned to Madrid, Sevilla suddenly announced that 22-year-old star Antonio Puerta was found to have an abnormal heart beating when he underwent a routine physical examination for the team.
After that, Puerta went through more detailed tests and was finally advised by the doctor that he was not fit to continue playing.
So, Sevilla FC regretfully announced that Puerta had to leave the field.
After retiring early, Puerta will continue to work in football, going to Madrid for coaching and returning to Sevilla for youth training.
When he heard the news, Yang Hao laughed in his office.
And laughed loudly.
Because he knows that his appeal in the past few years has still had an effect.
Sevilla is actively following up on Yang Hao's appeal, and they are increasing medical investment, so there will be abnormal heart beating found during routine physical examinations, which has not been done before.
This made him fully aware that what he had done was not only changing himself, changing Atletico Madrid, but also changing the fate of others.
It's a great feeling!
won a championship, which made Yang Hao happy.
Yang Hao immediately called Juande Ramos and asked for Puerta's phone to recuperate.
Isn't he coming to Madrid for coaching?
"If you need me anywhere, you can call me at any time, I and Atletico have your back!"
Atletico officials were quick to follow suit.
Ramos, Reyes and others are familiar with Puerta and have also called.
La Liga also sent condolences for the first time, and Antonio Ponte also went to Sevilla to visit Puerta in person and said that he would give maximum support.
……
25 August 2007, Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid.
In the first round of the 07/08 La Liga season, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Madrid away.
After a brief unveiling ceremony, referee Mehuto blew the whistle to start the game.
In this game, both sides played the main force.
Real Madrid, for their part, still adopted the iconic 433 tactic.
Goalkeepers: Casillas;
Defence: Ashley Cole, Cannavaro, Samuel and Lahm;
Midfielders: Essien, Andrea Pirlo and David Beckham;
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Joaquin.
Atletico Madrid also played with a full main lineup.
Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer;
Defence: Patrice Evra, Thiago Silva, Ramos and Alves;
Midfielders: Andres Iniesta, Xavi Alonso and Kaka;
Forwards: Arjen Robben, Fernando Torres and Lionel Messi.
As soon as the game began, Atletico Madrid actively pressed up and attacked.
Arsene Wenger's side clearly expected this to be the case, so they played unhurriedly.
In the first attack of the opening game, Messi tried to break through with the ball on the right side, and suddenly returned to the right side with the ball.
Alves crosses from the right side of the box.
Torres missed the front post, but Robben didn't come up in time to pick it up.
The ball fell to the right side of the penalty area.
Atletico launched an aggressive counter-attack.
After Lahm grabbed the ball, he quickly passed it to Beckham.
Xiaobei stopped to the middle with one foot, Pirlo just came up to stop the ball, and directly made a diagonal long pass, to the left side of the front, wanting to find Ronaldo.
Ronaldo turned his back to the direction of the attack, judging the landing point, and saw that the ball was about to fall, and suddenly a figure rushed over from the side, grabbed before Ronaldo, jumped up and pushed the ball forward.
After the man landed, he chased after the football as soon as possible, leaving behind the back of a No. 4 jersey.
And the name above, Ramos.
Ramos caught up with the ball and rushed forward in great stride.
Just now, Real Madrid took the ball on the left side, and Atletico Madrid pressed it all, resulting in the entire right side being empty now.
Ramos drove the ball all the way forward.
When Atletico's No.4 arrived on the right side of the penalty area, Ashley Cole rushed over to defend, but he accelerated decisively, rushed to the bottom line with the ball on the right flank, and sent a cross.
On the right side of the penalty spot, Torres held Cannavaro in the box, but with his back to the attack, he could only jump up and head the ball to the right side of the arc area.
Messi rushed up, stopped on his chest, buckled with his right foot past Essien, who came up to press, flicked his left foot sideways, caught up, and volleyed directly with his left foot, hitting a very beautiful long-range shot.
The whole action is done in one go, like flowing water.
The ball flew straight to the goal at breakneck speed.
Casillas stood on the right side of the goal, and although he reacted quickly and made a quick sideways save, he still couldn't save Messi's shot that almost went to the corner of the goal.
The ball grazed the left-hand post and drilled into the Real Madrid goal.
"The ball is in!!"
"Messi !!"
"The first shot of the whole game, and the first shot of La Liga this season, directly created the first goal of the season in La Liga!"
"A talented teenager from Atletico Madrid, Messi!!"
"In less than 1 minute, strictly speaking, only 54 seconds, Atletico Madrid scored the goal of Real Madrid!"
"Messi scored a very tricky shot past Casillas."
"1 to 0!"
It was only at this moment that the entire Bernabeu stadium erupted into exclamations from Real Madrid fans.
What a surprise!
Whether it was Ramos's sudden insertion just now, or Messi's stopping and cutting inside near the top of the penalty area, it was extremely impressive.
In fact, the first attack just now was created by Messi with the ball.
The Argentinian suffered a blow to Brazil in the Copa America final this summer.
Before, in the two-legged Super Cup, Yang Hao did not let him play.
Well, now the Madrid derby, he's finally back in the starting line-up, isn't that a blow to kill Real Madrid?
……
"Did you find it?"
Arsene Wenger was a bit surprised by the opening goal but acceptable.
Atletico's opening attack has been good.
The derby comes to the first round of the new season, which will be a test for both teams, especially Real Madrid.
Atletico have played at least two Super Cups, while Real Madrid have yet to play anything.
Sitting in the dugout was Croatian coach Borro Primoraci, who was Arsene Wenger's assistant coach at Arsenal and had been with him for nearly a decade, and the two worked well together.
Originally, Arsene Wenger wanted Pat Rice to come with him, but the Englishman was unwilling.
"The media reports were good and he had a strange way of playing this season." Primorachi shook his head.
"Just now, Ramos pulled directly to the right side, Xavi Alonso sank, but the overall pressure was still relatively high, and the distance between the central defenders was quite wide."
Wenger frowned and nodded slightly.
Yang Hao is indeed alive again.
It has been reported in the media before, and Arsene Wenger and others have also seen the Super Cup game.
But Ramos hadn't been so self-indulgent at that time.
snatched the ball from Ronaldo and rushed forward directly, which is a strong confidence in the team's own ball control ability.
Otherwise, once the ball is snatched and beaten behind, it will be over.
And as the game progressed, Arsene Wenger and Primoraci gradually became aware of the problem.
Atletico's full-backs pressed up, coupled with Xavi Alonso's absence from sinking, led to a significant numerical advantage in central midfield.
The most typical is in the 9th minute, Atletico Madrid launched a counter-attack on the spot, Torres stole the ball at Cannavaro's feet, passed the ball quickly, Robben cut diagonally into the left side of the box at high speed, pushed the far corner with his left foot, and was saved by Casillas.
What Atletico insist on now is attacking, and if the attack is not good, they will return the pass and reorganize.
Once the ball is lost in the front court, it immediately starts to counter-attack on the spot.
The pace of the game was very fast, and the attack was very sharp.
On top of that, Atletico's players are not only very individual players, but also have a numerical advantage after the full-backs press at the same time, which, combined with that skillful combination, makes Real Madrid's defense very difficult to deal with.
The Galaxy Battleship had no choice but to take the lead in stabilizing the defense.
But even so, in the 30th minute, Atletico again threatened.
It was Messi who broke through with the ball on the right side and attracted the attention of the defense, and Alves inserted it on the side, just like when he attacked for the first time in the opening game.
Alves crosses for Torres to head in the left-hand corner of the six-yard box with Samuel and heads back into the middle.
Kaka stepped in and slotted the ball into the back of the net.
2 to 0!
In the face of Atletico Madrid's style of play, Real Madrid's backline really can't prevent it.
Wenger gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and the labor and management were gone.
As a result, Real Madrid also pressed out to attack.
The two sides began to attack non-stop, constantly creating dangerous situations.
In the 37th minute, Lahm's cross from the right flank, Ibrahimovic made a very beautiful volley, failed to hit the part, and went straight high.
Cristiano Ronaldo then drove the ball into the box from the left rib and fell to the ground with Ramos, and the referee refused to award a penalty.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, Ramos did have some movement in his hands, but it is difficult to say whether it constitutes a penalty.
The two sides come and go, fighting against each other.
After the start of the second half, the offensive rhythm of the first half was continued.
Both sides are now out of the way.
And in the 56th minute, Ronaldo forced a breakthrough with the ball on the left side, and shot low on the left side of the small penalty area, which was blocked by Neuer, and Real Madrid won a corner.
Beckham took a corner kick and sent a precise landing point, Ronaldo jumped high and hit the goal with a header, breaking through Atletico Madrid's goal, 1-2!
The atmosphere at the entire Bernabeu Stadium burst into flames.
All the Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats in a frenzy, cheering and shouting hoarsely.
And in the 72nd minute, Atletico played an attacking combination on the left side.
Robben cut inside with the ball and passed it back to Iniesta.
