Golden Greenery

For Mourinho, 1:0 is called victory, but 5:4 is not necessarily. 0:0 is a draw, and 4:4 is embarrassing. And his football philosophy is precisely the reason why many Spaniards dislike him, and it is more annoying than his bad mouth.

Regardless of Pepe and Disi, Real Madrid must first face the challenge of Atletico Madrid in the same city derby.

Originally, for Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid in recent years was not a problem at all. It was said to be a mortal enemy in the same city and second only to Barcelona in La Liga. However, in recent years, even Atletico Madrid itself has not been confident enough to say this.

The last time Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid was back in 1999. At that time, let alone Ronaldinho and Messi, even Ronaldinho was just a scumbag.

Mourinho is only in his second season at Real Madrid, but he has already won five consecutive games against Atletico Madrid. Although Atletico Madrid has won the UEFA Cup (09-10) and the Super Cup (2010) in the past two years, they have won brilliantly, but the Shenlian team is really scummy in front of Real Madrid and Mourinho.

In the 5:1 match at the Bernabeu last November, Atletico Madrid chairman Enrique Cerezo, who couldn't bear it, fired the head coach Manzano that day and urgently invited the old player Diego before Christmas. Simeone puts out the fire.

But it is Simeone's coaching that makes today's Real Madrid feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.

Wearing short-sleeved Biaozi in this winter, Atletico Madrid's change of hands is like changing swords. The players are still the same, but the results are world-class. Compared with last year, they are like two teams.

La Liga has gone from fifth from the bottom to fifth from the bottom, and the UEFA Cup has gone from facing elimination in the group to now reaching the semi-finals. By the way, there are three La Liga teams in the semi-finals of this year's UEFA Cup, Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Bilbao. Coupled with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, this season in Europe is the golden age of La Liga.

Although in terms of league points, Atletico Madrid is still far away from Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but just looking at the record in recent months, Simeone's team is not inferior to the two heroes. How could Real Madrid not look at such a sheet?

After Christmas, Chairman Cerezo couldn't wait to change Simeone's temporary worker into a formal contract. The four-year contract was serious, and he also promised to strengthen the lineup this summer.

The fierce Simone is quickly shaping his gang.

.

As a famous player at Atletico Madrid, Simeone has no good impression of Real Madrid. During his time as a player at Atletico Madrid, he participated in five Madrid derbies and lost all five games, which almost left him with a psychological shadow.

Before the game, Simeone vowed: This year's La Liga championship will definitely go to Barcelona. Although Real Madrid is currently 6 points ahead, after playing against my Atletico Madrid, they will only have 3 points left, and after playing against Barcelona, ​​there will be no points left. .

The reporter asked him: If you could buy a player from Real Madrid, who would you like to buy?

Simone curled his lips and said: I won’t buy anyone! However, if it is free, Zhuoyang is still good.

After an 'accidental encounter' in front of Rafinca Simeone's house last year, Zhuoyang and he were considered acquaintances. In February this year, taking advantage of the time difference between the international matches, the two of them rushed to Rome separately as previously agreed, and got together with Simeone's old Lazio friends.

Nesta, Favalli, Nedved, Stankovic, as well as Mihajnović, Pancaro and Dino Baggio, even Lombardo took a flight with Zhuoyang to catch up. Come back.

A bunch of old guys got more and more drunk, reminiscing about the glorious past, bragging about the past, and looking like invincible ruffians. When the wine was full, we sang the Lazio team song "" together.

The tune was off-beat, and no one was singing in tune, which made Zhuo Yang feel very embarrassed.

However, Zhuo Yang originally agreed to treat him to a treat, but when it came time to pay for it, a group of old hooligans fought so hard that they almost got into a fight on the spot. Zhuo Yang didn't dare to speak at all.

Until he got on the flight back to Madrid, Simeone was still thinking about the invincible Blue Eagles back then, and his enamored look was like the second brother Meng who had just dumped his ex-girlfriend.

However, when Simonsi discovered that the stewardess on the flight was quite pleasant, all Lazio disappeared. He immediately took off his coat,

Just like that time at the door of La Finca, he was only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, revealing a large gold chain that could tie the dog. Zhuo Yang quickly turned his head away, fearing that others would misunderstand that he knew Simeone.

But before flying into Spanish airspace, Simone had already asked for the phone numbers of all five flight attendants, and Zhuo Yang wanted to kneel down and call him master.

Simeone also said: "Zhuoyang, when I received a call from Atletico Madrid in Argentina last year, guess what the first thing my son said?"

"Where can I guess? I'm not your son."

Simeone laughed: "Giuliano asked me, are you going to play against Zhuo Yang's team? That's great."

12-year-old Giuliano is Simeone's youngest son. This year his father took him to the Calderon Stadium to be a caddy.

.

Like the Santiago Bernabeu, the Calderon Stadium is also named in honor of Vicente Calderon, the greatest president in Atletico Madrid history. The Calderon Stadium is also one of the best stadiums in the world. This stadium, which can accommodate 54,851 people, was rated as a 5-star football stadium by UEFA in 2003.

But it is about to complete its historical mission. Atletico Madrid has cooperated with the Madrid City Government to build the La Pennetta Stadium, which can accommodate 73,000 people, as the team's new home stadium. At that time, Calderon will be transformed into the highly commercialized Atlético Madrid Park.

Mourinho supported Pepe, who was at the forefront of the storm today, and asked him to start and release Ramos, who returned from suspension, as a central defender, with Arbeloa and Coentrao on the two sides.

Zhuoyang's partner today is Alonso. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Di Maria are lined up in front of them. Benzema and Casillas are dotted at both ends of the formation, like two lonely wandering souls.

The composition of the Atletico Madrid team has not changed, but the main lineup under Simeone has undergone a lot of changes. Adrian Lopez, Arda Turan, Thiago, Gabi, etc. have a tougher playing style. More appearances in the starting lineup.

Goalkeeper Courtois, who is on loan from Chelsea, has completely established himself as the starting goalkeeper under Simeone. However, perhaps this is not all due to Simone's discerning eye. In the first meeting of the season between the two teams at the Bernabeu half a year ago, Zhuo Yang gave Courtois a red card.

As the saying goes, a loss is a blessing. Courtois has become more and more stable since that day, and he is still bold and aggressive.

But enjoying such a 'blessing' will never make people feel happy. So from the moment he entered the field, Courtois secretly glared at Zhuo Yang several times. He secretly swore: Even if Ronaldo is allowed to score three goals today, he will never let damn Zhuo Yang score one.

Cristiano Ronaldo has currently scored 37 goals in La Liga. In the game that ended early yesterday, Barcelona defeated Getafe 4:0. Messi scored a goal. He now overtakes Cristiano Ronaldo to occupy the top scorer list with 39 goals. Bit.

Ronaldo is behind again, maybe Courtois' dream will come true today.
