"So many people!"

As soon as he arrived at the Calderon Stadium, Srna saw a large number of fans outside through the glass of the bus.

These Atletico Madrid fans also saw the Real Madrid bus and gave them the most "cordial greetings".

"Atletico Madrid attaches great importance to this game. Before the game, their club executives talked about defeating us in an interview." Ramos curled his lips.

Dream on!

"However, we can't underestimate Atletico Madrid." Ramos said solemnly.

Although I don't think much of Atletico Madrid, these guys are really dangerous.

What's more, after this game, the Champions League will come immediately.

If they lose, it may also affect the morale in the Champions League, so they must make plans.

Suk also looked at the Calderon Stadium not far away.

He has scored many goals here to plant nightmares for Atletico Madrid.

However, it seems that this pressure is not enough now.

He must score more goals and use more intense suppression to make Atletico Madrid completely afraid of himself.

Suk does not expect to defeat Atletico Madrid.

After all, they are mortal enemies. It is not an easy task to defeat these guys.

But he must suppress his opponents and make them afraid of him.

Squeak!

The brakes of the bus sounded a little harsh.

The bus has arrived at the entrance of the stadium. Under the leadership of Ancelotti, the players of Real Madrid walked into the stadium.

As they were about to enter the stadium, there was a fierce cheer from the other side.

This cheer exploded like thunder, and in a moment, it filled the entire area.

No need to think too much, Atletico Madrid has arrived!

"Come on, guys! Get rid of those bastards in Real Madrid!"

"We are here to see you win!"

"Get rid of them! You can do it!"

"Koke, show your performance, just like playing against Barcelona, ​​we will cheer for you!"

"Go! Guys!"

"Come on! Atletico Madrid!"

The mixed cheers of tens of thousands of people made the players of Atletico Madrid feel the enthusiasm from the fans. Before the game started, their passion had been completely ignited.

This is especially true for the young player Koke.

Koke is a product of Atletico Madrid's youth training, and he is also the most amazing young player in recent years.

In the past six games, Koke scored three goals and three assists!

This is already a very outstanding performance for a young player.

A neat short hair with two stripes on both sides shows his personality.

Koke enjoys this feeling of being the center of attention. Of course, he also knows that this is the applause and cheers brought by his performance.

"Let's go!"

Gabi pushed Koke's shoulder to prevent the little guy from getting carried away.

With performance, there will definitely be some pride and complacency.

Koke has this tendency now.

However, based on his hard training and serious competition, they did not intervene excessively.

"Captain, look, I will show some colors to Real Madrid!"

Koke said excitedly; "I feel in good shape!"

Gabi smiled slightly, but his heart was a little heavy.

After all, Koke is a young player and has not experienced the long-term suppression of Atletico Madrid by Real Madrid.

He officially joined the first team in 2009. After the loan ended, he returned to Atletico Madrid in the 2012/2013 season and performed well.

He has not experienced the lows of Atletico Madrid. After he joined, the team has always performed well.

Therefore, the whole person is very confident!

Gabi does not hate this feeling. It is okay to be proud of his team. It should even be encouraged.

Moreover, they do not have too much psychological pressure on Real Madrid.

This is also a good thing!

After all, pressure will affect performance. Just like their generation, a team living under the shadow of Real Madrid will always have some fear in their hearts.

Gabi hopes that in the new era of Atletico Madrid, they are no longer afraid of Real Madrid.

And these problems can only be solved by games and goals!

Arriving in the locker room, Simeone, dressed in a black suit, was already standing in the middle with his hands on his waist.

Looking at Simeone's oppressive eyes, the players suddenly became quiet. They changed their jerseys silently. The whole scene was orderly, without any chaos, and even few people whispered.

Simeone's management of the team presents this strict model.

He believes that only in this way can an iron-blooded army be forged.

Discipline is not only presented on the court, but also in all aspects of life training, starting from small details.

During the whole warm-up process, Atletico Madrid once again demonstrated that kind of discipline.

No one spoke, and no one was lazy.

Even the substitutes were warming up seriously.

Although they were unlikely to play, they were also preparing for accidents.

As for the main players, their movements were uniform, and under the leadership of the assistant coach, they warmed up like an army.

In the other half, Real Madrid was also very disciplined, but compared with Atletico Madrid, they were always a little less uniform.

"It's like a fucking army!" Marcelo couldn't help complaining when he saw Atletico Madrid's prohibited warm-up method.

"But it is precisely because of this that they can make the choice to chase back neatly." Srna said; "Be careful, they are not easy to play!"

Soon, under waves of cheers and boos, the warm-up session of both sides ended, and the two teams returned to the locker room to make final preparations.

Simone stood in the middle and said loudly;

"Everything that needs to be done has been done, and everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. The battle is coming soon. I hope you remember that only those who have courage, fighting spirit, and determination can win."

"For a long time we were suppressed by Real Madrid and when it came to Madrid, people talked about the Bernabeu, not Calderon!"

"We are the ignored side, why? Because we are not strong enough, because we cannot win!"

Simeone clenched his fist hard, waved his fist and said: "It doesn't matter if people don't know us, because we will use the game to tell them what Atletico Madrid is!"

"No matter who the opponent is, here, we will only let them taste the taste of failure!"

Simeone's voice became louder:

"Show your fighting spirit, break those prejudices, and use victory to familiarize yourself with our legendary story!"

"Come on, guys, let's stop being supporting characters."

Uh-huh!

Simeone pointed to the door and said in a serious tone: "Go out from here, then defeat your opponent and tell the world that Madrid still has a strong team!"

The entire locker room suddenly fell silent.

Each player felt their hearts burning, and a surge of passion surged into their hearts.

As the captain, Gabi took a deep breath and roared loudly: "Get ready to fight!"

After that, he gave a high-five and walked out of the locker room at the lead, followed by others.

When they arrived in the tunnel, Real Madrid was already there.

Ramos, Suker, Kaka and others were all turning to look at them.

Those eyes were indifferent, but filled with infinite oppression.

These are the top stars in football, and they are all guys who have been at the top many times. It is not easy to defeat them, but they can only fight.

Gabi walked forward with his head held high, and the Atletico Madrid players followed suit one after another.

The entire player tunnel was silent, but there was an oppressive atmosphere.

Red and white striped jersey, Atletico Madrid, nicknamed 'Iron-Blooded Atletico'.

Pure white jersey, Real Madrid nicknamed ‘Galactic Battleship’.

At the same time, they are also the first and second teams in La Liga standings.

It can be said that this game is also a battle for the top spot.

Is it the iron-blooded Atletico Madrid that breaks Real Madrid's suppression of itself?

Or will Real Madrid continue its dominance?

The game is about to begin!

"Here is the 7th round of the 2013/2014 La Liga season. Atletico Madrid led by Simeone versus Ancelotti's Real Madrid!"

"This is also a highlight of the Madrid derby. In the past few seasons, the Argentine has transformed Atletico Madrid, giving them passion and the basis for victory, and now they are targeting Real Madrid after defeating Barcelona. !”

“In the past games, Atletico Madrid lost more than they won against Real Madrid. In recent seasons, there was only one draw that was considered the best game, but we can see the growth and changes of Atletico Madrid this season. , can they defeat Real Madrid at home, break their nightmare, and become another favorite in La Liga? "

"Real Madrid is also facing this important match with all its main players. Ancelotti hopes to get the three points from the away game. Can they get what they want?"

In the passionate voice of the commentator, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Casemiro, Kroos, Kaka.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker.

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Courtois.

Defenders: Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Felipe.

Midfielder: Koke, Thiago, Gabi, Arda Turan.

Forwards: Costa, Villa.

Players from both sides enter the stadium, captains exchange team flags, and shake hands.

Atletico Madrid won the first kick-off.

Real Madrid chose the left half.

The two sides came to the court to set up their positions, and a tense atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

Throughout the Calderon Stadium, tens of thousands of Atletico Madrid fans cheered and shouted non-stop, making the atmosphere even more heated.

Not only the fans inside the stadium, but also the Atletico Madrid fans gathered outside the stadium were shouting non-stop to create momentum for the stadium.

Real Madrid is still very calm, and they will not be frightened to this extent.

In this game, Real Madrid deployed a double midfielder formation.

Kaká partnered with Casemiro as the defensive midfielder.

Of course, Kaká can hold up the organization and provide more defensive contributions. Of course, Casemiro has greater defensive responsibilities.

This was also in response to Atletico Madrid's counterattack.

If not, Ancelotti will still insist on a single defensive midfielder position.

Atletico Madrid forced Real Madrid to change their position, which also revealed that Real Madrid was very afraid of Atletico's counterattack.

"Villa! An experienced shooter!" Ancelotti narrowed his eyes slightly.

Speaking of Calabash Brothers, one cannot help but think of his wonderful performance in the 2010 World Cup.

When Torres was in a sluggish state, he successfully lifted up Spain's forward finishing ability.

And after that, he had many outstanding performances in Barcelona.

Now after joining Atletico Madrid, with his accumulated experience, he is also an extremely important threat point.

"Diego Costa!" Ancelotti's tone became more solemn.

Atletico Madrid has transitioned from the second generation of strikers, the Falcao era, to the third generation of strikers, the Costa era.

Diego Costa!

Under the 'beautiful face' is a strong body like an ox. He is a big center forward and a battering ram.

Costa is best at using his physical ability to threaten the opponent's goal in the penalty area.

Especially after Falcao left, he got a lot of shooting rights and is now the top scorer of Atletico Madrid.

Now in the scorer list, Messi has scored eight goals and ranks first.

Suker ranks second with six goals.

Diego Costa, five goals.

The key is that Suker has one penalty and Messi has two.

Costa scored five goals without a penalty!

In addition, we need to be wary of Arda Turan. The Turk is very good at dribbling and has delicate skills. He is the key to Atletico Madrid's counterattack point and can always make wonderful passes.

Even in a chaotic situation, he can pick up the ball for the team and relieve pressure.

The young player Koke is the biggest surprise of Atletico Madrid.

Koke has performed particularly well this season. Although he is young and plays impulsively, he has a very good chemical reaction with the style of Atletico Madrid.

Koke's continuous breakthroughs on the left wing can often contribute an important force to Atletico Madrid's offense.

Of course, when it comes to Atletico Madrid, defense is the key!

Gabi in the back midfielder!

Godin and Miranda are the combination of the back line.

The two full-backs can go up or down.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid is derived from the Netherlands' all-out attack and defense, with sharp counterattacks and more active pursuit.

Therefore, even if they are in the lead, they still cannot relax.

Ancelotti silently repeated these things to make himself better understand the opponent and better judge the situation on the field.

Of course, Atletico Madrid is difficult to deal with.

But Real Madrid is not a vegetarian either. At least, Atletico Madrid has been hard to win in the hands of Real Madrid in the past few seasons.

It is not easy to break this psychological pressure.

At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded, interrupting Ancelotti's thinking.

In the center circle, after Costa kicked off, Real Madrid quickly approached.

After a series of back passes, Atletico Madrid's central defender Godin directly kicked forward to find Costa.

Costa stood at the landing point, and Casemiro immediately stuck to him.

He slammed into him.

Bang!

Casemiro's body shook, but he did not fall.

Costa also took the time to turn his head and look at Casemiro, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, which made the latter extremely annoyed.

But the next second, a figure suddenly jumped up from behind Costa, almost riding Costa, and headed the ball out.

Ramos finished the header and landed. He looked at Costa who was frowning, and raised his chin slightly, as if to provoke.

‘You pretend to be quick! ’

Costa did not respond and immediately ran to the next position.

Ramos looked at Casemiro and shouted: “Be firm, if you hold back, you will definitely not be able to hit that guy!”

“Foul! Foul when necessary! Don’t hesitate, and don’t be afraid of getting a card!”

Ramos clapped his hands to encourage: “Come on! Cheer up!”

Casemiro also nodded vigorously, and then continued to catch up with Costa to defend.

After Ramos destroyed it, the ball also fell at the feet of Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid does not value ball possession so much, and they are not a team that is good at passing and controlling.

Therefore, losing the ball is also lost.

When Real Madrid got the ball, they also started to press fiercely.

The entire defense line formed different areas in various positions, like waves constantly hitting Real Madrid players.

Real Madrid players kept passing the ball, but even so, Atletico Madrid could still get to the pressing position just right.

Moreover, their pressing was not just pure pressing, but also blocking Real Madrid's forward passing channels, forcing Real Madrid players to constantly move left and right.

"Pass it!"

Suker ran to the rib area and called for a pass.

Kaka immediately passed the ball, and the ball was almost intercepted, but it was successfully delivered to Suker's feet.

But as soon as Suker got the ball, he encountered a pressing from Arda Turan. Suker's feet were inward and he barely got rid of it with explosive power.

Just when he was about to control the ball again, Gabi quickly followed up, and Suker had to poke the ball with his toes and passed again.

But this time, the ball was out of Suker's control. When he tried to catch up with the ball again, Godin immediately appeared in front of the ball and kicked it out.

Seeing that the ball was cleared, Suker couldn't help but frown.

He finally understood what the wave-like pressing was.

One wave after another, without giving Suker a chance to catch his breath, control the ball, and use continuous and segmented pressing to get the ball out of Suker's control area, while letting other teammates destroy it.

It has to be said that this kind of defense is very effective, even Suker finds it difficult to adapt for a while.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid took advantage of this opportunity and launched a quick counterattack.

Using quick off-ball running, they continuously opened up the defensive gaps of Real Madrid and helped Costa successfully advance.

However, Casemiro was extremely decisive.

When Koke was about to pass the ball, Casemiro directly fouled, preventing Atletico Madrid from forming a connection and threatening Real Madrid's goal.

Beep!

The referee pointed at Casemiro and ran over to give a verbal warning.

In response, Casemiro accepted it with pleasure, and he was even ready to get a card. He was just warned, which was already good.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid was not happy, and kept besieging the referee, emphasizing that this required a card and exerting pressure.

In this regard, the referee did not change the penalty, but only gave Atletico Madrid a free kick in the frontcourt!
