Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 188 Wayward Simeone

Such news has been fermented in public opinion, which has caused Torres to be in trouble recently and seriously affected the good image he had established before.

In my impression, Torres has always been dubbed a "winner in life" by fans. He can be regarded as a lucky general, with flowing blond hair, handsome face, and strong strength. How can such a player not attract fans?
However, showing off his past to his opponents, as a player who is only 19 years old, shouldn't be too cheap. I have to say that this approach is very low.

Such Torres has made many fans unable to accept it, and they have expressed that they have lost their fans or turned black.

Worst of all is the team atmosphere.

The article that Simeone accused Torres published by Tina herself in the new football is not a fiction. Atletico Madrid's current team atmosphere has dropped to freezing point.

Simeone is a fanatical and extreme head coach who has a very high voice in the entire club. He is the god of Atletico Madrid, and no one can challenge his authority.

Neither can Torres.

Back in La Liga, facing the challenge of the underdog Levante, Simeone didn't even include Torres in the 18-man squad. The official statement was to prepare for the second round of the Champions League.

How can Atletico Madrid fans not understand?This is Xuezang, which further confirms Tina's article from the side, and what she said is true.

Right now there are three pillars in La Liga, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid are ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and the points are tight, with 3 points more and 1 point less.

La Liga has now entered the final half of the sprint stage. At this critical moment, the coach would not be stupid to rest the main shooter and silver boot in the team.

Simeone does not seem to shy away from outside speculation and pressure from public opinion.

It is said that it is a rotation for Torres. In fact, the league lineup is still the continuation of the UEFA Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. It simply adjusted the forward position of Torres and replaced it with center Gameiro, who has won the Ligue [-] silver boot twice.

Simeone told the outside world in such a fruitful way that he has supreme authority and the right to speak for the team and the locker room, and everything is under his control.

In a stumbling game, facing the underdogs, Atletico Madrid won 1-0, further maintaining the pressure on the helper Real Madrid to catch up.

Compared with Atletico Madrid's all-main attack, Borussia Dortmund, which has a relatively large point advantage in the league, chose to rotate players in the league on the weekend. None of the five main players, including Wang Po, played against Leverkusen.

The strong stay strong.

When a team has been in the position of a strong team for a long time, it naturally forms a kingly aura, a powerful aura.

The most direct manifestation of the formation of this kind of aura is that the team may play in a muddle throughout the game, but they can always win inexplicably. This is the performance of Dortmund in the factory's game against Leverkusen.

The same 1-0 score allowed Dortmund to continue to secure the top position in the standings, and at the same time, it has not scared the upcoming second round of the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week and has accumulated strength. It can be described as a very cost-effective 1-0.

With the provocation of Torres in the first round and the subtle score, Dortmund's second round against Atletico Madrid is destined to be a lot to watch.

at the pre-match press conference.

The reporter threw out the latest hot topic.

"The main center of the league team did not appear last weekend. Is it related to the recent news reports?"

Simeone shook his head and denied, "This is a comprehensive choice based on my tactical considerations and the assessment of Torres' physical condition by the coaching staff."

Facing the media, Simeone's words were very official, blocking everyone's mouths with one sentence.

"It's a pity to lose against Dortmund in the first round away game. Will it put pressure on the team in the second round?"

Hearing this question, Simeone frowned, looked displeased, and said with a cold snort, "First of all, I said that the Champions League knockout round is a 180-minute game, and now it's just the end of the first half. Everyone who has watched the game knows that we had many opportunities in that game and took the initiative.

As one of the strongest clubs in Europe today, Atletico Madrid's overall strength is beyond doubt. Coach Simeone himself is also full of confidence and optimistic about the prospect of promotion.

When the reporter relayed Simeone's attitude to Dortmund coach Tuchel at the visiting team's pre-match press conference, the latter smiled slightly and said, "Combined with the score, it seems that we are the dominant side. Football games are not purely about lineups or value. Ultimately, it has to be implemented on the pitch. Everything speaks for itself."

The styles shown by the head coaches of the two teams are diametrically opposed, and the air-to-air combat at the press conference was also quite exciting, creating focus for tomorrow's second round of decisive battle.

game day.

Crowds of Atlético de Madrid fans showed up at the Calderón Stadium, cheering for the team with drums and gongs.

The Dortmund team's bus arrived at the stadium. As soon as it got off the bus, Wang Po was chased and intercepted by countless reporters.

"Excuse me, is it true that Torres provoked you as reported in the media?"

For such a sharp question, Wang Po smiled and waved his hand, declined the interview, and entered the team's locker room with difficulty under the protection of his teammates.

According to the news before the game, this game, like last weekend's league, Torres did not enter the 18-man squad for the game.

Suddenly, all the fans who supported Atletico Madrid were blown away. "Is Simeone crazy? The head shooter won't let him go?"

"It seems that the report on the new football is not groundless, self-willed! Simeone!"

"Yes, Simeone has always valued discipline and authority, especially in terms of defense. Torres' approach in the last game obviously ran counter to the coach's thinking."

……

Wang Po doesn't care about the opponent's situation. Even without a player like Torres, Atletico Madrid's strength will not be affected. On the contrary, it is very likely that the player who will replace Torres can strengthen this link. It is enough to be yourself.

Dortmund narrowly won the first round and had some advantages. Logically speaking, they would choose a steady defensive counterattack, but whether it was Tuchel and his coaching team or Wang Po and his personal team, they all had a consistent idea: preemptive strikes.

In terms of the strength of Atlético de Madrid, and it is at his home court, which is one of the best home courts in Europe, the defense is definitely unstoppable, so it is better to do the opposite, give the opponent a sudden attack by surprise, and disrupt their rhythm layout.
