Chapter 37: Just the Beginning
South of Madrid.
In a three-story house, Aguero walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, wiped his hair, and looked up to see Brono Sardin sitting on the sofa.
"Brono, are you watching the game?"
Brono Sardin is also an Argentine. He is Aguero's agent. He turned his head to look at Aguero and continued to stare at the TV screen, "Atlético de Madrid game."
"And Valencia? Definitely lost."
"Why." Brono Sardin seemed to be asking, but he was actually narrating, "The last opponent was Barcelona, and you said the same."
Aguero was immediately irritated, "That's just luck! It's luck! Barcelona didn't perform well, and they won!"
"In that game, your new teammate, Maurice, scored three goals." Brono said.
"It's just luck... well, he's a good guy," Aguero said. "But without me, the striker won't work. Morris creates chances. He can't score every game."
Brono shook his head, pointed at the TV screen and said, "Sergio, it's 1-0 now."
"Did Valencia score?"
"No, it's Atletico Madrid, it's Ozil, the German star."
"Ozil?" Aguero thought for a moment, then said, "I admit, that's a good guy too...but they're in a different position than me..."
Brono Sardin turned halfway, faced Aguero, and said, "Sergio, do you know that you are in danger now?"
"what?"
"Atlético de Madrid already have enough men to threaten you."
"Who? Fran? Oh, no, he's great, but he's old... That German veteran? No, he's old too, the club signed him just to add depth to the bench..."
"It's Diego Costa, the Brazilian striker," Brono said earnestly.
"Costa? Haha, don't make fun of me!" Aguero walked to the sofa and watched the game, his face didn't care at all, "He scored two goals in the first round, but not after that. He played the most minutes, but he wasn't effective at all, he couldn't threaten me yet..."
"Really? Sergio, I don't think you should be so conceited."
"Oh?"
"Atletico Madrid has no shortage of players who can score goals, and you are not in the first team, you can't even train together, do you understand?"
"You mean that without me, the team will not lack goals." Aguero was a little unwilling, and his expression became much more serious.
"Let's see."
Aguero didn't say anything, he sat next to Brono and watched the game together.
From the first round of the league to the present, he has not watched Atletico Madrid's games so seriously. He thinks that there is no game he participated in, and he has nothing special to pay attention to.
But after three rounds of the league, Atletico Madrid won two wins and one draw in three games, and got off to a good start. Aguero also felt a sense of crisis.
He said that he didn't care about Brono, but he was very concerned in his heart.
The game between Valencia and Atletico Madrid was broadcast live on the TV screen, and soon the game went to the second goal.
Isco created a good opportunity for Diego Costa, Costa seized the opportunity and scored the ball directly!
When the football flew into the goal, Aguero felt his heart tremble. He was not excited for the team's goal, but scared, especially when the commentator on TV said, "Diego Costa, this is A striker that Atletico Madrid bought back for €6 million in the summer, the new Aguero... no, he's better than Aguero..."
Aguero stood up suddenly, pointed at the TV screen and shouted angrily, "What did he say? That Brazilian kid is better than me? He will be better than me!? Brono, what do you think? Will he be better than me?" "
Brono Sardin sighed, looked at Aguero and said seriously, "Sergio, I believe you are the best, no one else can compare to you!"
Aguero nodded in satisfaction.
"But..." Brono said before he finished, "Other people can't see your performance. If the Brazilian scores a few goals, they may think that the other party is no worse than you. You want to be recognized by others. , you have to appear on the field to compete for what should belong to you... Do you understand?"
Aguero calms down.
Recently, he has been under a lot of pressure because things did not develop as he imagined.
Aguero originally thought that scoring goals would definitely be a problem without Atletico Madrid's striker, but the first three rounds of the league, including the current game, did not reflect this. Instead, it was a guy who didn't care at all before, Diego Kos Ta, his performance is quite strong... This is already the third goal he scored in four rounds of the league, right?
No matter how confident he is, he knows that the opponent's performance has indeed reached the level of threatening him, not to mention that he is currently 'banned from the team' and cannot participate in the game at all.
What to do now?
Do you really want to bow your head to that Chinese and admit your mistakes in exchange for a chance to return to the first team?
Aguero was a little unwilling.
However, if the Brazilian can stick to his performance, when he returns to the first team, it is hard to say whether he will have a position or not.
Reason told him he had to do it.
"Just bowing your head, it's nothing, isn't it?" For the sake of his career, what is a little face?
Aguero thought, looking up at Brono, "I see, now tell me what to do."
Brono laughed.

Atletico Madrid completed the second goal.
Almost all the media commentators were talking about goals, and the one they mentioned the most was not Diego Costa who scored, but Isco who assisted.
Diego Costa had a powerful kick at the goal, but Isco, who created the opportunity, was the biggest contributor. He not only passed a good ball, but also used it to attract Valencia's defense.
In addition, it is very important that Isco is a pure Spanish player.
The Spanish media is naturally happy to see new young talents emerging, and Isco fits the positioning of 'young talents' very well.
Isco was only 18 years old.
The fact that a player of this age can land in the top league has already proved his extraordinaryness. What's more, it is the first time that Isco has appeared as a starter, and he has performed so well.
So everyone was talking about Isco.
The origin of Isco's "Valencia youth training camp" has also become a hot topic. "Isco was still playing for the Valencia youth team last season. In the summer, Wansheng brought him to Madrid."
"Looking at it now, this is undoubtedly a very correct decision. Isco has gradually shown his talent. Of course, it is the exact opposite for Valencia..."
If Valencia heard what the media said, they would definitely grit their teeth. When Atletico Madrid intervened in Isco's transfer, they had already realized the value of Isco, but Isco's heart has gone to Madrid, they There is no way to keep this genius.
So now I can only watch Isco play for Atletico Madrid and become the hero of the Valencia goal.
Emery is quite unwilling to do so.
In the summer, Emery also knew about Isco's transfer. He originally thought about this player. If he couldn't sell a high price, he would be promoted to the first team. Who would have thought that the other party was bought by Atletico Madrid.
Now, Isco is causing trouble for Valencia!
0 to 2!
Valencia sits at home, allowing Atletico Madrid to score two goals, how to tie the score next?
Emery doesn't know.
Up to now, he has a general understanding of Atlético de Madrid's tactics. Unlike what the media said, Atlético de Madrid is playing a complete set of new tactics centered on full defense. The rhythm is very fast, the offensive ability is quite strong, and the stability of the defense is achieved by fast retreat.
In short, the current Atletico Madrid attack is very strong, and the defense is also very solid.
For a while, Emery couldn't think of a targeted way at all. Even if he saw through the opponent's tactics, there was no way at all.
So what's next? Emery has no clue.
Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half.
After the game restarted, the two teams attacked each other twice, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
————
During the intermission, Wansheng praised the team's performance and urged the team to continue to work hard and not give Valencia any chance.
As for tactics, there is no need to make any adjustments.
Atletico Madrid had an advantage in the first half. The tactics had been played out and two goals were scored. Wansheng was not worried about what Emery could see, because even if the opponent knew how Atletico Madrid played, they could not do anything at all.
The only thing Valencia can do is the defensive counterattack.
Valencia's old job is defensive counterattacks, but Emery is obviously dazed. If at the beginning of the game, Valencia takes the regular route and fights Atletico Madrid with a tough defensive counterattack. Atletico Madrid wants to gain an advantage. so easy.
But Emery didn't do that.
Until now, Wansheng has never imagined why the opponent would choose to attack Atletico Madrid.
Emery was clearly sobered up by two goals.
Even if they were two goals behind, Valencia adjusted their tactics and picked up their old job - defensive counterattack at the beginning of the second half.
Valencia's regular defensive counterattack is still quite difficult. Their defense is very solid, which is the means for them to achieve good results.
No team dares to say that they will definitely be able to break Valencia's goal.
So does Atletico Madrid.
At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid's offense encountered a lot of problems. For Atletico Madrid, it is not a problem to play against each other, but it lacks the means to break the dense defense.
This is Atletico Madrid's problem.
In the mutual offense and defense between the two teams, Wan Sheng watched the game with a solemn expression on his face.
Two goals are enough to decide the team's victory, but the game against Valencia is just the beginning. Wansheng knows that he has a lot of work to do next.
