Super Storm

On the evening of May 24, 19:30.

There is still an hour before the game begins.

There are already crowds in the stands of Lisbon ’s Bright Stadium, and tens of thousands of fans are still lining up at various entrances to enter the stadium.

An hour later, in this stadium, the world-famous Champions League final is about to ignite the battle.

Atletico Madrid coach Simoni has always stood at Atletico half, watching his players training on the court, his brows locked, especially when his sight falls on the number one center Diego Costa.

Diego Costa did not participate in the team's joint training, but he was training beside himself, but he was the most valued player in the team, not only followed by a coach and a team doctor, the media on the sidelines Journalists and fans in the stands, and even their own opponents, are paying great attention to his every move.

Can Diego Costa go?

This is the biggest suspense before the game.

As Simone said at the pre-match press conference last night, Diego Costa is Atletico's "Yang Yang".

The implication is not to compare Diego Costa with Yang Yang, but to talk about the team's role and contribution.

After the training session, Simone quickly moved to Diego Costa.

"How is it?" Simone asked with concern.

Diego Costa quickly ran a few steps on the spot and nodded: "It feels good, there should be no problem."

Simone was slightly relieved, and after appeasing Diego Costa for a few words, he begged him to hurry back to rest.

The team doctor soon came over and reported Diego Costa's latest situation.

"As when playing Barcelona, ​​he can barely go, but we can't guarantee how long he can last."

The football game is full of various fast sprints and reentry runs. It has very high requirements on the player's body. Especially in such a high-intensity Champions League final, no one can accurately estimate Diego Costa's playing time.

But Atletico Madrid really need Diego Costa!

"Let's think of a way and stick to it. Without him, our counterattack will be completely impossible." Simone had a headache.

He also prepared two different plans, with Diego Costa and without Diego Costa, the worst option is to guard against deadlocks, to ensure that the ball is not lost in ninety minutes, and then drag the game into the penalty shootout .

But this is undoubtedly a very risky option, because Real Madrid players have very strong personal abilities, who knows when they suddenly have a flash of light and scored a goal in the game?

Especially Yang Yang.

This **** Chinese has performed well against Atletico Madrid several times in a row, including one classic long-distance raid, which almost left a shadow on Simone.

So in this game, he also specially arranged and arranged for Yang Yang, be sure to freeze Yang Yang.

As for Diego Costa, this requires Simone to make a choice.

If, as in the last round of the match against Barcelona, ​​after Diego Costa barely played, it would n’t take long before he could end up, it would be a painful blow for Atletico Madrid, and at the same time, a precious Substitution quota.

The loss of substitutions will not have much impact in the first half, but in the case of excessive energy consumption in the second half, the role is undoubtedly very critical, so this requires Simone to consider whether he should risk taking Diego. · Costa?

The Argentinian turned and walked towards the player's tunnel. He lowered his head and walked very slowly. His brain was running fast to calculate the gains and losses.

"Get the Atletico list!"

When Real Madrid finished their pre-match training from the stadium and returned to the locker room shortly afterwards, they got Atletico's roster.

The goalkeeper is Courtois, the back line is Felipe, Godin, Miranda and Juan Fran, the frontcourt is Raul Garcia, Tiago, Gabi and Cork, the double forward is Villa And Diego Costa.

"Turan's accumulated yellow card is missing and Simone goes to Raúl Garcia. If judging from the regular platoon formation this season, Raúl Garcia should play the right and Cork will play the left. There have been a few times during the season. "

Turan is Atletico ’s regular left-back, but if he is absent, Simone will play Raúl Garcia, who will often play a role on the right this season, and basically suppress the opponent ’s left-back. .

"That's why Simone made a wrong calculation." Ancelotti chuckled.

Real Madrid's lineup has been submitted long ago, but like the Atletico Madrid lineup, there are some surprises.

Real Madrid still adopts the four-three-three formation, the goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Azpilicueta, Xavi Martinez, Ramos and Carvajal, and Masche after the midfield Rano, David Silva and Modric are at the front, the trident is a combination of Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

Among them, the biggest change is that Azpilicueta replaced Marcelo, which is absolutely surprising.

In the past few years, Real Madrid is best at flying tactics, especially the two-wing combination of Marcelo and Carvajal this season, it can be described as brilliant, but this Ancelotti Suddenly refrigerating Marcelo and choosing Azpilicueta, who has excellent defensive ability but insufficient offensive ability, is very unpredictable.

But in fact, as long as you understand Real Madrid's overall strategy, you can understand this.

That is the second half!

The first half of the fight cost, the second half is when the effort, so Ancelotti chose to refrigerate Marcelo.

Marcelo, Suarez and Isco are the sharp knives of Real Madrid's attack. They won the first half and compete with Atletico Madrid. .

"Unexpectedly, Diego Costa is still on." Ancelotti also frowned.

This player is still very tricky.

"That should be the magic doctor's horse placenta treatment plan worked." Zidane quipped.

Ancelotti and the assistants around him couldn't help smiling, but his face looked dignified.

...

Real Madrid is like a big enemy, Atletico Madrid is also afraid to carelessly.

Simone watched the players of the two teams under the leadership of Dutch referee Bjorn Kipps and walked out of the player channel one after another. The expression on his face was also very dignified.

Not only worried about how long Costa Costa can last, but also worried about Marcelo and Suarez sitting on the Real Madrid bench, these are the two soldiers in the hands of Ancelottiwo.

Before it is taken out, no one can guess, when and how he will use it.

This was quite deterrent, and Simone had to stay alert.

The master is the master, Ancelotti is not simple at all!

…………

…………

Real Madrid took the lead to kick off.

Yang Yang and Di Maria stood in the middle circle, Yang Yang stepped on the ball, waiting for the referee to whistle.

Di Maria looked up, chanting words, like praying before the game.

This may be a hall-level game in the minds of countless players, and it is also a key battle that countless superstars can only experience once in their lives, and no one wants to lose.

"Don't be nervous, relax and enjoy the game." Yang Yang encouraged with a smile.

Di Maria nodded toward Yang Yang, but his face couldn't relax at all.

In the Champions League final, who can really enjoy the game with ease?

"Pay attention to the rational allocation of physical energy, keep calm, don't get hot, and die with the opponent." Yang Yang reminded.

Di Maria nodded again, "You need to remind me more."

Yang Yang nodded and agreed.

In the Real Madrid team, Yang Yang is undoubtedly the best to be calm and sensible. He can keep calm almost at any time, and he is rarely seen to be anxious, but this does not mean that his nature is like this, but training for many years. Here.

Anyone who can simulate all kinds of extreme situations and experience various brutal training in the super training ground like him for ten years will surely have such a tough heart and will like Yang Yang.

The strategy of the Real Madrid in the half is to stabilize the position, observe the opponent, schedule the opponent by passing the ball advantage, and then consume the opponent's physical fitness, so that the team can play an offensive threat in the second half.

To put it simply, the greater the opponent's consumption in the first half, the more favorable for Real Madrid in the second half.

If you really want to die in the first half, it is undoubtedly the most irrational behavior.

However, Yang Yang was also worried.

Yang Yang is familiar with the style of the Dutch coach Bjorn Kipps's whistle. This coach has a weak whistle, which is very helpful for Atletico Madrid because they are good at grasping the head coach's law enforcement standards.

To put it bluntly, Atletico this team is fond of fouling between yellow cards and red cards.

This is the same as when Simone played football. The Argentine career is also in this style. The most famous of course is the red card given to Beckham at the 1998 World Cup in France, which almost broke Beckham ’s. future.

Yang Yang, after knowing that the referee was Capers, reminded his teammates to pay attention to it and be mentally prepared to withstand the provocation and aggression from Atletico Madrid during the game.

...

With the whistle of referee Capers, Yang Yang immediately kicked the ball to Di Maria, the Argentine quickly passed back.

This world-focused battle officially started.

Atlético Madrid were actively pushing forward as soon as they opened, while Real Madrid quickly returned to the back line.

Harvey Martinez passed it to Ramos and Real Madrid's central defender quickly split to the right and gave Carvajal.

Carvajal passed Modric again, Real Madrid's midfield has not stopped the ball, Atletico's defensive player has rushed in front of him.

Sure enough, as Ancelotti expected, Simone's opening tactic is to squeeze around.

You have choices only if you have strength, and you can only go to black without strength.

Atletico Madrid is not as good as Real Madrid in terms of lineup strength or bench thickness. It can only use its best and most confident tactics to restrain its opponents.

As for whether it can work or whether it can win, it can only be decided by God.

This should be the so-called do-it-yourself.

But the luck of the Madrid duo tonight does not seem to be particularly good.
