Football: Xiao Junguang template, Real Madrid begs me to let him go

Before the 18th round of the 2011-2012 La Liga season, it was the first leg of the fourth round of the King's Cup.

Atletico Madrid had already been eliminated before Simeone took over, and was defeated twice by Albacete, a team from the Spanish Second Division B.

The upset in the King's Cup also became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the former head coach Manzano.

The first round of the fifth round of the King's Cup began, which means that the 18th round of the league is getting closer.

Chang Jin's performance at the Espino training base was very stable, and he became a god in the midfield defense.

He has abundant physical strength, excellent defense, and strong confrontation ability.

He also has a broad vision and accurate long passes.

The coaching staff nodded repeatedly.

Simeone already wanted to send him in the first game of his personal coaching career at Atletico Madrid.

But reason still defeated emotion.

Letting a 17-year-old young player start in the professional league is somewhat a bit of a stunt.

It is not good for the growth of young players.

According to the plan of the coaching staff, Chang Jin should first adapt to the atmosphere of professional games, and then gradually increase his playing time.

From substitute to starter.

Koke, who previously spoke in the tone of an elder brother, has become a younger brother.

Saul, the same age as "Dog Brother", naturally called him "Brother Chang".

Professional football is about the strong.

Chang Jin has shown his strong personal ability and has conquered his teammates long ago.

With his outstanding social skills and high martial arts value, he has become the darling of the team in just a few days.

It is not an exaggeration to describe him as the darling of the team.

The first round of the fifth round of the eight-game King's Cup has ended, and Atletico Madrid, which is preparing for the first league game in the second half, has entered the final preparations.

The day before the game.

According to international practice.

The coaching staff announced the 18-man match list for Valencia.

Chang Jin, whose performance had long been recognized by the whole team, was on the list.

"Oh-Yeah!"

When Chang Jin heard his name, he excitedly raised his arms and shouted.

"Congratulations!"

Koke took the initiative to meet Chang Jin, and raised his right palm and hit it hard.

Saul, Gabi and other players from Atletico Madrid's youth training also took the initiative to congratulate.

Although Chang Jin joined Atletico Madrid through a trial, he can barely be regarded as a youth training player to some extent.

He is young~

There is a sense of identity.

After announcing the big list, assistant coach Boggs walked towards the excited Chang Jin and poured cold water on him: "Don't be happy too early. Being shortlisted is just for you to feel the atmosphere of professional games."

"Huh?"

Chang Jin rolled his eyes at Boggs.

If you don't talk, no one will think you are dumb!

That night, multiple games of the 18th round of the 2011-2012 La Liga season kicked off at the same time.

I don't know if it's because they have rested for more than half a month and are not in good shape. Levante VS Mallorca, Real Sociedad VS OssaSuna and Santander both failed to make any progress.

Santander Racing only won a narrow victory over Zaragoza 1:0.

Real Madrid in Mourinho's second year scored a big score of 5:1.

Atletico's league match at Mestalla started at 6 pm the next day.

As Boggs said, Chang Jin was shortlisted for the 18-man match list just to feel the atmosphere of professional matches.

In the frenetic atmosphere of Mestalla Stadium, Chang Jin sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes.

Valencia, the third-placed team in the league, attacked like a tide at home, and Courtois was in danger of guarding the goal.

But Atletico's defense, which was transformed by Simeone, performed very well and completed high-quality defense many times.

In the end, the two teams tied 0:0.

At the end of the game, the live director gave a close-up shot to Simeone, who looked heavy-faced.

It was a pity that he failed to get off to a good start in his first game as coach of Atletico.

Valencia's overall strength is indeed stronger, but the team wasted two excellent counterattack opportunities.

As long as they seize one of the opportunities, they will most likely win the game as a guest.

The Atletico Madrid fans who traveled with the team were very satisfied.

Overlooking the whole game, it can be clearly seen that the team's defensive quality has greatly improved.

The counterattack was also very colorful.

Unfortunately, under the new tactical system, they did not have enough tacit understanding with each other and failed to seize the opportunity from defense to offense.

However, the overall defense is indeed worthy of praise.

The predecessor Manzano lost 27 goals in 17 league rounds, making it the third team in La Liga to lose the most goals, only less than the second-to-last Zaragoza and the third-to-last Sporting Gijon.

The home team Valencia's offensive ability ranks third in La Liga, second only to Real Madrid.

It is not easy to draw with the powerful Valencia as a guest.

After two rounds, they will challenge Barcelona as a guest at Camp Nou.

Atletico Madrid fans believe that if the players can play well in the away game against Valencia, they will definitely be able to get out of the game unscathed.

The reporters in the mixed zone routinely swept the camera from the Atletico Madrid bench.

No attention was paid to Chang Jin, who took over the No. 10 jersey left by Reyes.

In their view, Chang Jin was just a young player who was promoted from the youth team and chose the No. 10 jersey.

Little did they know that in the near future...

Major La Liga!

And even... the whole world!

※※※※※

Atletico Madrid tied Valencia away, and the mainstream media in Europe gave mixed reviews.

Pro-Atletico Madrid media think Simeone has something.

In less than half a month after taking over, he has made the originally poor defense line as solid as a rock, and the counterattack is also remarkable. There is a lot to do in the future.

Other media talked about Simeone's tactics being very negative, with less than 30% possession rate and various fouls seriously affecting the normal progress of the game.

There are still many media holding this view.

However, Atletico Madrid's performance in recent years has been average, coupled with the strong performance of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​so it has received limited attention.

In a word, it can be summarized as follows: physical media lacksLack of attention, lack of traffic in mobile Internet.

After returning to Madrid, the whole Atletico team took a day off.

Simeone used this method to praise the players for playing an ideal game away from home.

Chang Jin did not give himself a holiday, but continued to practice.

Completed a month of continuous practice.

The previous week of continuous practice has been rewarded, and 1 attribute point reward has been obtained.

It has been added to [Speed ​​Up], from 84 to 85.

The speed is fast enough, and the acceleration improvement is imminent.

Many personal attributes can be improved through training, but speed, acceleration, vision and the like are pure talents, and there is almost no way to improve them through training.

Therefore, when you have attribute points, give priority to attributes that are difficult to improve through training.

The active practice was also noticed by Simeone's team who "worked overtime".

Boggs thought about the team's efficiency in transitioning from defense to offense, and couldn't help saying: "How about...give Chang some time to get a feel for it in the next league match against Villarreal?"

"I think it's okay."

Burgos pondered: "Our efficiency in transitioning from defense to offense is a bit slow. If we have Chang's efficient long pass, we will have a lot more opportunities. You know... we will play Barcelona in two rounds. Let Chang adapt to professional games as soon as possible, which will also be of great help to our overall performance."

"But he is only 17 years old."

Simeone raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Genius cannot be measured by age."

Boggs said solemnly.
