“This is Calderon Stadium.”

"All the audience in front of the TV, what you are now broadcasting live for you is the 2002-2003 season, the 31st round of La Liga, and Atletico Madrid will host Real Madrid at home."

"This is still the century-old celebration of the Bedsheet Legion!"

"In order to better explain this game, we specially invited a heavyweight guest, who coached Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at the same time, and said, "

“Welcome Radomir.”

With the introduction of the commentator, Antich also politely greeted all the audience in front of the TV.

"Hello everyone, I'm Antich."

"Ladomir, we all know that you have coached Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and you have even coached Atletico Madrid twice, and you have won the double championships in La Liga and the Copa del Rey for the first time. You are very familiar with both teams."

"Yes." Antich nodded.

"Then what do you think of these two teams?"

"I think these two teams basically represent today's La Liga, even European football, and even the highest level in world football, but the characteristics of the two teams are very different."

"With some time left, can you tell us a little bit?"

"Of course." Antić nodded again, "Real Madrid is a veteran giant with superstars and a strong overall strength. There is no need to say more about this, but the previous problem of this team was that they attached too much attention to offense and ignored the midfield and backcourt. However, with the joining of Woodgate, this disadvantage has improved a lot."

"But we all know how much defense has improved, it remains to be tested."

When the commentator heard this, he smiled slightly, "You mean, you need to let Atletico Madrid verify it?"

"Haha, Atletico Madrid is another type of team, with a strong emphasis on body and discipline, from front to back, very orderly, and every player is very dedicated, whether it is offense or defense."

"I still remember that Bosque said it right. Teams like Atletico Madrid, which have strong overall strength, if they want to attack, they can play the strongest offensive, want to defend, and organize the strongest defense. There are many teams of this type, such as Juventus in Serie A and Ancelotti's AC Milan."

"Yes." The commentator nodded, "Yes, AC Milan is indeed very strange. She has been playing passes and controls before, but the effect is not very good. Later, after changing to the defensive counterattack, she performed shocking everyone."

"Yes, the Italian team has always been embarrassed to play passes and controls, and it has always been less delicate than La Liga."

The commentator thought for a while and asked again: "Who do you think has a better chance of winning in this game at Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid?"

"It's hard to say." Antić shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Atlancia Madrid has an advantage overall, but although it is a home game, it is probably a bit of psychological pressure to celebrate the century-old. Real Madrid is determined to take revenge, and the superstars' personal strength is also stronger, so..."

The answer is self-evident, and Antich himself is difficult to make a judgment.

"Although I said that, I can still vaguely hear that you are more optimistic about Atletico Madrid, right?"

After being exposed, Antić smiled awkwardly, "What do you think? In the professional coaching circle, Atletico Madrid is a very hot topic. We all think that this team is already a benchmark team in European football and a living legend."

"But it seems to be very controversial in the fan group."

Antich nodded and smiled, "This is for sure, because all the fans who lost to Atletico Madrid will not be happy, and we live in the present and are easily confused. But if we look back in a few years, we may be able to give a more pertinent evaluation. At that time, we will find that we have been witnessing the birth of the legend in person for the past two years."

"I can see that you like this Atletico Madrid more." The commentator laughed.

Antich also did not deny that "all people who know football should like it, even Bosque."

"Then what do you think about Gao Han's announcement of the team's starting lineup one day in advance?" the commentator asked again.

Antić shook his head and smiled: "Actually, it's not as outrageous as the media hype. Although Atletico Madrid has a B plan and even a so-called C plan, in fact, their real lineup is still 4312. As long as several core players in the team are not injured or sick, this is basically the same style of play. Whether the offer is announced in advance will not make much difference."

"Your answer is the same as Boske."

The commentator laughed, "Okay, we have now won the starting lineup of Real Madrid."

"Goalist Casillas, the defense is Robert Carlos, Jero, Woodgate and Salgado, the midfielder Elgra and Marklele, and the frontcourt is Zidane, Raul, Figo and Ronaldo breaking forward."

"This is really a lineup of superstars."

"Yes, quite luxurious." Antich praised.

"Radomir, if you are the head coach of both teams, what do you think should be played in this game?"

"Me?" Antich was a little surprised.

"Yes, let's talk about Real Madrid first."

"If I were Real Madrid's head coach, I think the most important thing is to curb Atletico Madrid's pass control. This requires every player on the team to actively invest in pressing and oppressing, and only in this way can it work."

"What about Atletico Madrid?"

"I think Zidane is the most important thing."

"Frozen Zidane?"

"Well, and Robert Carlos, the sudden attack from the Brazilian left-back is quite threatening."

"But the one who is on Gao Han is Dario Serner, who seems to be playing against Real Madrid."

Antich smiled, "So, this will be a great game."

…………

…………

The game officially began with the referee's whistle.

Real Madrid, who played away, kicked off first.

Because it was drizzling for a while before the game, the venue was very slippery and the Galaxy Battleship fell quickly.

It took only a few seconds to start the game, and after several consecutive passes, it came to Zidane's feet, but Diego Simeone made a direct foul, knocking Zidane over the ball to the ground, and the referee also blew the whistle on the spot.

"This is a very experienced test, and the benefits of the old players are here," Antic explained.

"Simone is testing the referee's whistle-holding standard."

"Yes." Antich nodded, "Simone's foul action is well controlled. He has no cards and is in the non-threatening area. He should know it in his mind."

Real Madrid sent the free kick directly into the penalty area, but goalkeeper Cech decisively attacked and intercepted the ball.

"Chech's range of activities is very wide. He is not a goalkeeper with a goal line, but a penalty area type, very stable."

"And Real Madrid seemed a little anxious. They should have stabilized just now and took the ball first, but they chose to send it directly to the penalty area, which was equivalent to sending the ball back to Atletico Madrid."

Cech threw the ball directly to Yankulovsky on the left with his hand, and Atletico Madrid began to control the ball.

"Atlancia Madrid is relatively stable, and it is more patient to control the ball from the back line."

The commentator also supported Antich's statement, "It should be said that he is more confident in his psychology."

"Indeed, Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt pressing is not strong enough, which is a big problem."

Atletico Madrid continuously controlled the ball with his back and forth in the middle and backcourt, and quickly seized a chance.

In the third minute, after Kaka got the ball on the left, he forced a breakthrough and when he passed the ball to the right, Robert Carlos blocked the ball from the sideline and got an out-of-bounds chance.

Dario Serner sent out a goal outside the boundary, and after Torres headed the ball to Kaka, he turned around and penetrated into the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Kaka directly passed the ball, but Yero had rich experience and accurate positioning, and headed the ball to clear the ball.

The ball still landed at Atletico Madrid's feet, and Simeone passed it back to the defense line and reorganized it.

"The attack just now was very threatening. Torres's start speed was very fast and his cooperation with Kaka was also very good. Jero had a lot of experience. If he weren't there, the ball would be dangerous."

"I think Real Madrid should strengthen the frontcourt pressing, and at least put some pressure on it."

"Look, Atletico Madrid's defense is almost at the center, which is not a good thing for Real Madrid."

The commentator also saw some signs, "Why do I think Real Madrid's defense is also pressing up?"

"The main reason is that the superstars did not actively invest in pressing and oppressing. If Boske wants to destroy Atletico Madrid's midfield pass control, he had to push the defense forward, but this is very dangerous." Antić reminded.

"Atlancia Madrid's formation is very wide, and Real Madrid's wing defense is under great pressure."

As he was talking, he saw Jankulovsky quickly step forward on the left, receive Guardiola's side ball, and pass it straight to Villa's feet.

After Villa shook Salgado one-on-one, he passed the ball low to the middle, but Kaka failed to keep up in time and was cleared from the penalty area by Woodgate's big foot, but the ball still fell at Atletico Madrid's feet.

"Today, Atletico Madrid's pass control is more bold and skillful than usual, especially in the 30-meter area of ​​Real Madrid, which is doing quite well, but Real Madrid doesn't have many ways to do it."

The on-site commentator also agreed with Antich's analysis, "From the start of the game to now, we have seen that Atletico Madrid's ball possession rate is far ahead, reaching more than 70%. Oh my god, this is really terrifying."

"Yes, it's really terrifying. Gao Han has adjusted well and his tactics are also in place. Now it depends on how to convert the ball possession rate into a threatening attack." Antich said that it was not without expectations.

Atletico Madrid still passed the ball to the left and handed it to Villa, but failed to get a chance. Villa passed Deco back, and Deco changed the direction of the offense and dribbled the ball toward the middle.

"Kaka needs the ball to pull back, OK, pass it to Deko."

"The continuous cooperation between the two Brazilian players, Deco's foot passed to the right."

"There is an open side, Dario Serner, very fast, got the ball and broke Robert Carlos."

"Swing over, it's passed to the middle lane!"

"The landing point is very good, see if anyone can answer..."

"Torres..."

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!"

"In the eighth minute, just eight minutes into the opening game, Torres scored the first record for Atletico Madrid!"

"Atlancia Madrid completed a very exciting goal cooperation, from left to middle to right, Real Madrid's defense was pulled out of a gap."

"Dario Serner's cross landing point is extremely accurate, and Torres easily heads the ball to grab the point in the front point."
Chapter completed!
