Chapter 276 The New Season Begins

Chapter 121 The New Season Begins

Li Qingshan said that Atletico Madrid will fight for the championship. No one thinks this is arrogant. Atletico Madrid even won the Champions League last season, and this season's signings seem to be quite smooth. If Atletico Madrid shows weakness at this time Only then will there be ghosts.

When the pre-match press conference the day before the new season ended, an explosive news broke out in Spanish football, which shocked the entire European football-Zidane replaced Ancelotti as the head coach of Real Madrid for the new season!

After Carlo Ancelotti got out of class, many media made predictions after the Champions League final last season. He lost the Champions League final, and the league was also left behind by Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. He just won the Copa del Rey. A champion who is not enough at all, with Florentino's style, at that time, many media predicted that Ancelotti's coaching position would never be secure.

In the new season, Florentino did not initiate a coaching change until the start of the Spanish Super Cup. This also seems to indicate that the Real Madrid chairman is still patient with Ancelotti, and at least let him coach this season to see the situation. .

And now it seems that it was in the Super Cup, at Real Madrid's home court, that Real Madrid almost completely lost to Atletico Madrid, lost to their sworn enemy at their own home court, and lost without temper.The Super Cup is not an important trophy. It stands to reason that even if Real Madrid fails to win the pre-season warm-up championship in the end, it will not have any impact on the league in the new season.But the score of [-]-[-] obviously made both the Real Madrid fans and the chairman of Real Madrid completely disappointed with Ancelotti.

In the second round of the Super Cup, Ancelotti sat on the bench with a blank face, and Zidane, who used to be low-key, replaced him to direct the game.This has become very obvious.Ancelotti's time at Real Madrid is not far away.

Ancelotti's dismissal was expected by the media and fans, but Zidane directly became the head coach of Real Madrid, which surprised everyone.

This is not a title like "interim head coach". Real Madrid's text on its official website is very clear: Zinedine Yazd Zidane becomes the official head coach of Real Madrid!
A rookie coach with no previous first-team coaching experience directly took charge of Real Madrid, the Galacticos. I have to say that Florentino's decision was very bold and risky.

It is true that Zidane's player career is very dreamy. No matter what organization selects the "greatest football player" and other rankings, Zidane will always be in the top10, no surprises.This is a player with a brilliant resume, but just because he is good as a player doesn't mean he can be a coach.Many great players have had less than successful careers as coaches after retirement.

The most obvious example is Maradona, the Argentine football king.

Maradona's playing career is beyond doubt, he is one of the greatest players in history.However, when he coached the Argentine national team, he almost ruined his reputation for the rest of his life.
In November 2008, the Argentine Football Association announced that their national hero, Maradona, who had zero successful coaching experience, became the head coach of the national team. However, on July 2010, 28, Maradona dismissed get out of class, after one year and seven years moon!He is the shortest-term head coach of the Argentine national team since [-].

The [-]-[-] defeat to Germany in the World Cup was the trigger for Lao Ma’s dismissal, but in fact, there have been constant criticisms of him in Argentina. Lao Ma seems to be unable to see any tactics at all, especially in the use of Messi. In fact, although Messi is called "the successor of Maradona", he is not Maradona after all, but the old horse obviously regards Messi as Maradona.

In the group stage, when facing Nigeria, South Korea, and Greece, which were not strong enough, his arrangement of letting Messi hold the ball to break through was of course no problem. Argentina also won all three games and successfully advanced to the knockout round. When facing Mexico, Argentina was also overwhelmed. Overwhelmed the opponent.

But in the face of the powerful German team, Messi's breakthrough is not so easy to use.The score of four to zero also caused an uproar in Argentina. They lost to Germany and missed the semi-finals.The old horse also dismissed get out of class sadly.
Of course, it is not without rookie coaches who have succeeded in coaching giants.

Guardiola didn't have much experience before taking over Barcelona's first team, but what Guardiola's Barcelona has achieved is obvious to all.

But in general, the media still think that it is a very risky move for Florentino to directly promote Zidane to become the head coach of Real Madrid.

For Atletico Madrid, they don't care about the news of Real Madrid's coaching change.All their energy is now on their first-round opponent Vallecano.

If you don't pay much attention to La Liga fans, you may feel very unfamiliar with Vallecano's name. This is a team with a very low sense of presence.

But this team is also a Madrid City team.So to a certain extent, the game between Atletico Madrid and Vallecano is also a city derby.

This team started low and high last season. Coach Jaymes' coaching philosophy and personality are very distinctive. High defense and pursuit of ball possession make their games very enjoyable. In the second half of the league last season Duan's outstanding performance also made this small La Liga team a target for other teams to poach.In this summer transfer window, eight of their absolute main players from last season have been bought by other teams.Although they have also supplemented a group of players on the offensive line, it is still unknown how much skill their new lineup can exert.

Although it is an away game, the players of Atletico Madrid are very relaxed-even won the Champions League last season, will they still worry about capsizing in such a small ditch?

The players seemed relaxed, but the coaches were still meticulous in their work.

Of course Simeone can feel the team's underestimation of the enemy, but he did not comment on it.This kind of emotion is called underestimating the enemy, but if it is said that the team's confidence is bursting, it is not necessary.

The opponent's strength is very weak, and attention to the strength gap between the two sides can allow Simeone to tolerate the emotions of Atletico Madrid players.And in his view, the team's current relaxed atmosphere may also be conducive to the team's performance on the court.If he is serious about this, maybe he will let the players play with pressure, which is not good for the team's state.

The players warmed up at Vallecano's home stadium, Vallecas, under the supervision of assistant coach Juan Bistano, while Simeone was alone in the dressing room, writing and drawing on the tactical board.

Simeone has a huge coaching team. In addition to his main assistant Juan Bistano, he also has a four-member medical team, tactical analysts, goalkeeper coach, scouting team and so on.This is also the characteristic of his new generation of coaches, who have a more detailed and professional division of labor.

When the players returned to the locker room after warming up, Simeone also told the players some precautions.The rest of the time will be left to the players to arrange themselves.

Before playing, there are many players who have their own habits.

For example, Cork, who is a devout Catholic, will seize the time to pray at this time.Li Qingshan also has his own pre-match habit, he will always remove the laces of his shoes and tie them again.
In the past, when Diego Costa was around, Shengshi Meiyan would always occupy the mirror in the dressing room and apply half a bottle of hairspray on her head.Diego Costa left the team this season. Atletico Madrid players thought they would never see the figure posing in front of the mirror again. Unexpectedly, there was a new person standing in front of the mirror this season—Gre Ziman.

Griezmann has been playing with his long blonde hair in front of the mirror until he puts on the last touch of hairspray and looks at himself in front of the mirror with satisfaction.

Li Qingshan sat on the seat obliquely behind the mirror. After fastening the laces of his sneakers, he stood up and jumped to feel the sensation of his feet.

Compared with Griezmann's carefully arranged hairstyle, Li Qingshan's head is much simpler, with a round inch.

Griezmann still regards Li Qingshan as his competitor until now.

Hmph, you don't have any fashion sense at all.

Griezmann, who feels that he has won a haircut, is very satisfied
"Okay, guys, get ready to go!"

Juan Bistano clapped his hands and shouted.

Atletico Madrid players quickly stopped their actions and got up and filed out towards the door.

Li Qingshan got up and passed by Griezmann, who was still making his last effort in front of the mirror, and rubbed his hair with a big hand in confusion.

"Anthony, what are you doing, ready to play!"

After speaking, Li Qingshan walked out of the locker room.

Only Griezmann was left looking at his messy hair in the mirror. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
