Football: Guards with knives, shovel Ronaldo at the beginning

Atletico Madrid scored a hearty victory in Braga, Portugal.

From the fans to the club to the media, even the players got carried away.

But only Simeone knows that they still lack one person.

Looking at the whole game, Atletico Madrid's control in the midfield is getting stronger and stronger.

Whether it is Thiago, Van der Vaart or the young De Bruyne, they all have good ball control ability.

On the two wings, the cooperation between Reyes and Sanchez is strong enough.

What's more, now that Lindy's ability is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Simeone feels that he needs a strong substitute striker.

With a headache, he looked at Herman: "How about Miranda?"

The latter was flipping through the materials without raising his head: "It's settled, you will see him during the winter break."

"In this way, Ujfalusi can slowly retreat to the second line."

Miranda, Godin, David Luiz, Dominguez, how to line up?

Today Miranda + Godin, tomorrow David Luiz + Dominguez, the day after tomorrow...

Simeone's mood instantly improved again, and he found that there are 6 ways to line up the central defenders alone.

......

On August 8, Madrid Airport.

The transfer deadline is 6 days away.

A tall man stepped off the plane.

He has attractive brown hair and is handsome, but he can't hide the worry on his face.

The man sighed and glanced at the Spanish sky:

"I don't know if coming here is the right choice."

"Come on, Roque, don't worry so much."

The man did not speak, but followed silently.

......

Today is still an important game for Atletico Madrid.

The second leg of the Champions League play-offs.

They beat their opponents 5-0 in the first leg.

Returning to his home court, Simeone naturally regarded this game as the best training opportunity.

At the Calderon Stadium.

The fans were surprised to see another Atlético with a brand new squad.

Their new head coach seems to take this opportunity to give the team more exercise.

And also because of the big victory in the first game, the sports channel did not specially arrange for the broadcast of this game.

Domestic fans can only find various ways to watch the game.

The only comfort for fans on both sides is that the iron triangle of Aguero, Lindy, and De Gea is still starting.

Today's Atletico Madrid still chooses the 442 starting formation.

Just swapped Costa and Salvio.

In midfield, De Bruyne partnered with Koke and van der Vaart.

De Bruyne lagged behind the organization.

Raul Garcia acts as a backcourt engineer.

The combination of central defenders was replaced in the backcourt, Godin partnered with Dominguez, Felipe was chosen as the left back, and Valera was chosen as the right back.

Almost replaced 50% of the starters in the last game.

Most of the rookies or youngsters got a chance to play.

Sanchez sat on the bench with a smile after Simeone's sentence: "You have to preserve your strength and stamina and participate in more important leagues".

Brother, this can be regarded as enjoying the treatment of an "old man", preserving his strength and physical strength, ahahaha.

But it was such a 4132 formation that played against Calderon and Braga.

After 90 minutes, Simeone looked at the 3 to 3 on the electronic scoreboard and was very satisfied!

No, it should be said that I am very satisfied!

But he has to say: There are really no underdogs in the Champions League!

With his excellent performance in the first round, he was able to test Europa's strong team in this game.

The fans of Atletico Madrid were a little dazed, and the team was beaten 5-0 in the away game.

Such a strong combat power broke out in Calderon.

What's even more admirable is that today's stadium is full of cheers from Braga.

Due to the lack of suspense in today's game, fewer Atletico Madrid fans came to watch the game than before.

But the visiting team fans who rushed from Braga to Calderon actually reached 8000 people.

In a small city with more than 6 people, more than 8000 people actually came!

Among them are doctors, carpenters, policemen, and old people.

Almost every household sent a representative to cheer for their beloved home team!

Because they are all wearing red and white jerseys.

People can only use the language system to distinguish.

During the game, their loud singing once overwhelmed the Atletico fans.

After the game, Braga won applause in Calderon.

They held hands and expressed their gratitude to more than 8000 hometown fans who came from afar.

But there is something owed, they failed to advance to the group stage and could only participate in the Europa League.

The fans in the stands didn't mean to blame them, they sang together: Introducao!

Even the fans of Atletico Madrid applauded for them, they won respect with their strength!

This shocked the two people watching the game from the stands.

"Is this Atletico Madrid? The long-lost Champions League atmosphere!"

The handsome man looked at the field with eyes full of envy.

The group of newcomers who just joined, still young, have been given full play in this game.

Even though Atletico Madrid fell behind 0-2 in the first half, Simeone did not make a substitution.

It wasn't until 70 minutes into the second half that substitutions were made one after another.

But among the players on the field, there was even a young man from their own youth training!

You know, this is a substitution made when they are behind 2 to 3.

The man beside him looked at him in surprise: "It's not like you haven't participated in it before?"

He shook his head with a wry smile:

"It's not the same, it was a few years ago. I have almost forgotten the feeling of the Champions League!"

The man beside him didn't speak.

...

After the game, everyone celebrated in the dressing room, and the Champions League group stage is coming.

Different from this kind of play-offs, it was a competition with tens of millions of spectators in each game!

They also saw through these two games that Simeone likes to use young people very much.

Especially the newcomers, even Van der Vaart couldn't help but feel a little excited in the crowd.

"Damn it, it's just the Champions League, what's wrong with me?"

He shook his head speechlessly, not understanding his inexplicable emotions.

Not long after, the door of the locker room was pushed open.

Simeone has ended the press conference and had a friendly exchange with the opposing coach.

But everyone saw that there seemed to be another person behind Simeone, who was very tall.

When Simeone walked in, the man finally showed his true face.

"Santa Cruz?!"

Aguero shouted out a name.

In fact, many people know this name, but they may not have seen it.

Aguero knows him because of the America's Cup.

"Santa Cruz?"

"It's Santa Cruz..."

A group of people started whispering, Diego Costa had complicated eyes, he looked at Simeone, then at Aguero.

He was ready to fight for Atletico Madrid all season long before the door opened.

He considered the physical distribution of each game, rest and recovery after the game.

After all, Atletico Madrid has only two orthodox forwards.

But the handsome man who was brought in with a height of 191 in front of him.

Obviously, it is possible to replace yourself.

Form one high and one fast with Aguero!

Simeone spoke at this time:

"Rocke (Santa Cruz) will be with us this season."

Oh?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, this is a season on loan.

Costa's complexion also instantly improved.

Seeing that Lopez hadn't responded yet, Lindy stood up and applauded.

Whether it is the head coach or a new player, this face still has to be given.

What's more, with this height, Lindy can try his [State Banquet Chef] to see how good he is.

Hope to be an Airmaster who can eat cakes!

Only then did Lopez react, he got up and shook hands with him, and introduced him to each player.

Simeone nodded with satisfaction.

Now, the team's puzzle is completely completed.

This season, he will do a big job!
