Chapter 868
Compared with Manchester City, Atletico Madrid has won the European Super Cup before. In 2010, it was the time when Inter Milan stepped on Bayern Munich to win the championship.

Inter Milan, which lost Mourinho, was defeated by Atletico Madrid 2:0 in the UEFA Super Cup in the new season, so relatively speaking, Manchester City is even more hungry for this glory.

Although it was just a game, the gold content of this game was not low. After all, the two teams played together on the top of Europe last year, and compared to other leagues, the European League represents the strongest league in the world.

After the team assembled, the Manchester City players only stayed in Manchester for one day before heading to Monaco with an album. The European Super Cup is held at Monaco's home stadium, the Stade Louis II.

This stadium, which is the same age as Li Feng, can only accommodate 500 people, but despite the small size of the Louis II Stadium, it is one of the most luxurious and shocking stadiums in the world today.

Two weeks ago, Li Feng won the best player in Europe in Monaco, and now, he is coming back to compete for the European Super Cup.

"Atletico Madrid is not afraid of any opponent. We believe that as long as we can show our due level, then we can leave with the championship." At the press conference, Simeone looked confidently at all the reporters present and said.

By Simeone's side, there is also the latest favorite, Diego Costa. In the first three rounds of the league, Costa declared his strong rise with five goals in three games.

"Of course I am confident that I can score goals in the game. I am a striker, and my only task in the game is to score goals." After coach Simeone, it was Costa's turn to be the most popular recently.

Atlético Madrid was full of confidence, and Manchester City, who came to the scene afterwards, was also full of confidence. "We are here to win this trophy," Van Basten replied concisely.

"Our recent state is very good. For this game, we are confident. Goal? Of course, in this kind of game, I think, no one will miss the opportunity to be a hero." Come to the press conference with Van Basten, Manchester City's new aid Van Persie.

In terms of scoring rate in the league, the two are equal. Costa scored five goals in three rounds, while Van Persie also scored four goals in three rounds.

The contest between Costa and Van Persie is definitely the biggest highlight of this game. The media was disappointed that Aguero was unable to play in this game due to injury, but with Van Persie as a backup, the forwards in this game are still very interesting.

Atletico Madrid's current bright spot is the striker line, but Atletico Madrid has always had the tradition of producing strikers. In the early years, there was the Italian tank Vieri.

After Vieri left, the legendary Dutch striker Hasselbaink inherited this tradition and won the La Liga Golden Boot, but the Dutch striker left for England.

Atletico Madrid's golden boy Torres began to take over the mantle, the youngest captain in Atletico Madrid's history, each title tells the world how outstanding Atletico Madrid's young captain is.

However, years of no championship finally made their darling leave England again. Immediately afterwards, Argentine teenager Aguero took over the inheritance and told the world that Torres left, and Atletico Madrid still has no shortage of strikers.

At the same time, Uruguayan striker Forlan finally proved himself in Atletico Madrid. Forlan, who became famous at a young age, was valued by Ferguson, but he was indeed greeted with countless doubts and fake imports. Until he came to Atletico Madrid, Forlan finally proved himself. In the 08-09 season, he became the striker who scored [-] goals in the first season after Ronaldo.

You know, there were no two major players in La Liga at that time. At that time, this was a very rare thing. However, Aguero and Forlan, who supported Atletico Madrid's striker, both left.

Ever since, Tiger Falcao came to the Calderon Stadium.For a season, Falcao made Atletico Madrid's players forget about those who left.

However, the world of football is so cruel. When Atletico Madrid fans transferred all their love to Falcao, he couldn't stand the temptation of Manchester United.

This summer, although Atletico Madrid received a huge sum of money, the head coach did not set his sights on the transfer market, but aimed at the team.

Ever since, with his outstanding performance last season, Costa became Simon West's choice. Since then, Atletico Madrid's new generation of strikers has risen strongly.

Even after Costa, Atletico Madrid still continued the tradition of producing strikers, but that is something to do later and has nothing to do with the present.

At present, it is only possible to compete with Manchester City on the front line. In terms of midfield, because of Li Feng's existence, no one in Europe can compare with Manchester City except Barcelona. Even Barcelona is about to lose this qualification, because Harvey is 32 years old. How long can Harvey be at his peak level at this age.

Louis II Stadium, the 18500-person stadium is already full, and in the home team locker room, Van Basten is sitting in the final preparations.

Van Basten is actually not good at talking about it, so the Manchester City locker room is generally quiet before the game. After all, any tactical arrangements have already been made, and there is no need to talk too much in the locker room.

In this game, Manchester City chose a relatively tough combination of Lescott and Kompany at the central defender position. From previous games, it can be seen that although Costa is a Brazilian player, his physical fitness is very good. During the game, he often struggles with the opponent defender.

There is no change on both sides, Zabaleta and Clichy, needless to say Li Feng in the middle, De Jong and Yaya Toure returned to the starting lineup, and the combination of Silva, Van Persie and Dzeko on the front line.

It can also be seen from Van Basten's formation that Manchester City attaches great importance to this game. Even if there is still a league two days later, for Manchester City, the UEFA Super Cup is a championship they have never touched, so they naturally don't want to miss it.

Atletico Madrid's lineup, the goalkeeper is the young Belgian goalkeeper Courtois on loan from Chelsea, the defensive line, Felipe, Godin, Miranda, Juanfran.

Five people in the midfield, with Mario Suarez in the midfielder, Gabi the captain, and the young midfielder Arda Turan, Koke and Adrian Lopez in front of the two sides, and Costa, the lone striker.

Obviously, Simeone's idea is similar to that of Van Basten. The league is so long, giving up a league for a championship is very worth buying and selling, and there is no reason not to do it. Therefore, Atletico Madrid is also the main force.
