Chapter 158 Costa and Brazil
The UEFA Champions League group stage is drawn out. As a European region with a developed sports industry, gambling companies and winning odds are naturally indispensable.

皇萨仁三家毫无意外占据夺冠赔率第一档球队，拜仁是1赔3，巴萨1赔5，皇马1赔6。

第二档球队6支，切尔西1赔10，曼联、多特、大巴黎1赔15，尤文、曼城1赔17。

There are 5 teams in the third tier, including AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Naples, etc. Atletico Madrid's winning odds are 1 to 40.

The rest are basically cannon fodder teams. The odds are basically more than 1 to 100, and the highest reaches 1 to 1000, which is the Austrian Vienna team with Atletico Madrid.

Judging from the odds of winning the championship, Atletico Madrid should belong to the category of teams that can reach the top [-], but at most they can reach the top eight.

The UEFA Champions League draw has come to an end, and Atletico Madrid will continue the league.

The Champions League will have to wait two weeks before it starts in mid-September.

On the last day of August, the Atletico Madrid team set off for the Basque Country in northern Spain.

The most famous team in the Basque region of Spain should be Athletic Bilbao. They have always insisted on using only players with Basque blood, which makes them very famous.

But this time the opponent of the Sheets is not Athletic Bilbao, but their mortal enemy Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad was No.4 in La Liga last season, but this summer they not only did not strengthen their lineup to prepare for the Champions League, but also sold the core defensive player Iliamendi to Real Madrid for 3200 million. One of the reasons why Real Sociedad is not optimistic about qualifying for the Champions League.

However, there are still two good players in the Real Sociedad team, one is Chilean goalkeeper Bravo, and the other is French striker Griezmann.

Griezmann is also one of the young talents who have risen rapidly in La Liga in the past two seasons, and many strong teams are paying attention to him.Real Sociedad was able to finish fourth in La Liga last season. The offensive end mainly relied on Griezmann, and the defensive end relied on Iljamendi and Bravo.

And Griezmann made his debut very early. He is three months younger than Ringer, but he has already completed [-] games in La Liga. He is the fourth youngest player in [-] games in La Liga.

Only 5 minutes into the game, Griezmann gave Atletico Madrid a big blow. Their Mexican striker Vela made a pass from the right. Griezmann volleyed from the right side of the penalty area. Godin reacted quickly, rushed over to rub the ball dangerously, and the ball missed the baseline.

This is the opening three tricks of the Royal Society, and then Atletico Madrid will dominate the game.

In the 13th minute, Ringer took the ball from the left and made a breakthrough. He stopped and walked away from defender Martinez, and then passed the ball in front of the goal, but Costa missed the ball when faced with a good chance to hit the goal. .

This one doesn't seem to be doing well today.

In the 25th minute, Atlético Madrid intercepted the ball and launched an attack. Turan made a long pass. Ringer quickly stepped in and received the ball in the opponent's penalty area. He raised his foot to stop the ball and immediately hit the goal. The ball passed through Bravo's crotch Fly into the goal.

"Goooool~~~lin~~gol!!"

"Lin's goal, he scored in two league games in a row, he only took a few games to prove himself, he is fully worth the 4000 million that the sheet army paid for him."

"Lin just made a beautiful stop and hit the goal immediately. He didn't give the opposing defender time to react at all."

In the 32nd minute, Real Sociedad's defense made a mistake. Their defender actually passed the ball to Costa, who was unguarded in front of the penalty area. Costa shot the ball and then shot a beautiful anti-aircraft gun.

With this ball, he can wade into the penalty area and look for opportunities. Even if he wants to shoot from a long distance, he won't hit it so high when no one interferes.

"Diego, did you forget to wear your shooting boots?" Ringo asked with his arms around his neck.

"No, I'm a bit out of shape today." It was rare for him to admit that he was out of shape.

But even so, before the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid still expanded the score.

In the 44th minute, Ringer made a breakthrough from the right and returned the pass. Originally, there were many people in the opponent's penalty area. This pass was not a big threat, but their defender Kadamro raised his foot to intercept, but accidentally passed the ball Came to the foot of Cork.Now Cork accepted the gift with a smile, and succeeded in pushing the far corner.

"If the Basque team wants to make a difference in the Champions League relying on this defensive line, it is a dream."

"They should never have sold Iljamendi to Real Madrid."

The Spanish commentator put it bluntly. Except for the few strong teams in big cities in La Liga, other teams have to sell their players if they want to survive. If they don't sell their players, it will be difficult to survive.

Atletico Madrid took a 2:0 lead in the first half, but began to shrink their defense in the second half and failed to score again.

Ringer was replaced in the 81st minute, but Simeone left Costa on the field to continue looking for form.

In the 89th minute, Griezmann scored a goal by breaking through and assisting his teammates, but it was too late, and Atletico Madrid still kept the score of 2:1.

"Lin, I heard you didn't join the national team either?" On the bus back to Madrid, Costa asked with an old face in front of Linger.

In order to cultivate the tacit understanding between the two of them, Simeone went out to stay in a hotel and arranged for them to share a room, and let them sit in the same row in the car.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Ringer was a little curious, why did this guy ask this question, could he be a lobbyist sent by the Football Association?

"What do you think about joining another country's national team?"

"Uh~~" Linger was even more strange. Could it be that he was a lobbyist sent by other national football associations?

"Don't be surprised, I mean this~~~"

Costa said a lot, and Ringer understood what he meant.

Costa himself is an orthodox Brazilian, but he came to Europe to play football very early. Atletico Madrid, who was transferred in 07, was loaned out consecutively in the next few years, but he has always played in Spain. He has already obtained Spanish nationality.

When Costa hadn't played, the Brazilian national team had never recruited him.Costa made rapid progress last season before being called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time.

Costa returned to Brazil. He believed that the Brazilian national team currently does not have a good center player, so he proposed to ask for the No. 9 jersey worn by Ronaldo, but this request was rejected by the Brazilian national team coach Scolari. .

The current No. 9 of the Brazilian national team is worn by Brazilian forward Fred. Scolari believes that Fred is more important than Costa.

Costa felt that he was underestimated, so he began to have conflicts with Scolari, and then continuously refused to be called up to the Brazilian national team.

In March of this year, the Confederations Cup was coming, and Costa had the idea of ​​participating in the Confederations Cup again, so he accepted the call of the Brazilian national team again, but he performed poorly in the warm-up match with Italy and was excluded by Scolari Out of the Confederations Cup squad.

Now Costa was completely disappointed with the Brazilian national team, so he had the idea of ​​wanting to play for the Spanish national team, and it happened that the only warm-up match he played was not a FIFA A-level event.If it is a FIFA A-level event, it will be very troublesome for him to change the national team.

Costa failed to represent Brazil in the Confederations Cup. There were rumors in Spain that he was going to join the Spanish national team. Brazil also knew about it. Many people insulted Costa as treason and a "Brazilian traitor".

And just in this year's Confederations Cup, Brazil won the championship under the leadership of Neymar, and it was Spain who defeated Spain in the final.Now many people laughed at Costa, saying that Brazil does not need him at all, as long as Neymar is enough.

So Costa made up his mind to join the Spanish national team and planned to announce it during the national team match day.But after all, this is a major event of changing the national team. Costa is still a little confused, which is why he is in poor form in today's game.

At this moment, he was going to find someone to talk to, so he told Ringer.

"Actually, it's fine if you're happy with things like this, there's no need to force it. For example, I'm not happy to join the Chinese national team, so I won't join."

"Oh, that's it~~~"

Now Costa is happy. He is actually looking for a little psychological identity, and Ringer satisfied him.

In fact, as far as Ringer understands, Costa's joining the Spanish national team is a lose-lose choice for both Costa himself and the Brazilian national team.

The current Brazilian team is in a period of inactivity. Except for one player on the front line, Neymar can't do it at all. It can be seen from the fact that the No. 9 jersey can be worn by a player who is not capable of landing in Europe.

If Costa joins Brazil, it will definitely greatly strengthen Brazil's striker strength, and it will not be sent Hedy by Germany at home.

The Spanish national team is currently full of talents, and the competition for Costa to join is fierce, and the next few years will still be a low ebb in Spain, and even if you want to be a champion, you will not be able to get in.

But Costa has already made up his mind, and there is no need for Ringer to persuade him.And even if Costa joins Brazil, it will be Neymar's performance in the future. Judging from the current football situation, Neymar will inevitably be Ringer's opponent for a period of time in the future. Try to persuade Costa to join Brazil, and then cheap Neymar to give it Create trouble yourself?
