Chapter 523: Tiger and Wolf Master

"Camp Nou? Are you sure?"

As soon as he walked out of the team locker room, Puyol stopped tying his trouser belt and looked in disbelief at his central defender partner Gerard Pique, who had just told him an unbelievable news.

"Sure, very sure, he is in the grandstand!" Gerard Pique nodded very firmly.

Puyol didn't say anything, just nodded and continued to tie his belt.

"It seems that the news outside is true. This guy has an extraordinary relationship with Atletico Madrid!"

Gerard Pique said eagerly.

Even now, he still clearly remembers how Southampton's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Didier Drogba ravaged him a few months ago at the Miami Stadium in the United States.

That is simply inhuman abuse!

They are simply not human!

Every time he thinks about it, Gerard Pique still has lingering fears and shadows in his dream back at midnight.

Southampton is now bullish and strong, and Barcelona will not be able to meet them for a while. Besides, Gerard Pique may not have the confidence to avenge them if they do.

But Atlético de Madrid is different. This team has always been Barcelona's meat and dinner.

Who doesn't know, Atletico Madrid's least favorite away game is the Nou Camp, with big scores almost every year.

Do not believe?

Last season, Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 5-0 at Camp Nou!

Going back further, in the 2000-11 season, it was 3-0, in the 2009-10 season it was 5-2, in the 2008-09 season it was even worse, 6-1, and in the 2007-08 season it was 3-0. than zero.

The 2006-2007 season was a bit better. The Camp Nou matchup was 1-1, but the problem was that Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 6-0 at the Calderon Stadium.

Look, in the past so many years, Barcelona has played Atletico Madrid terribly every season.

To be honest, this situation of winning by a big score every year is a bit unbelievable.

Some even joked,

This is Atletico Madrid taking the initiative to send points to Barcelona, ​​the purpose is to hope that Barcelona can kill Real Madrid and win the championship!

But looking at the whole world, losing like Atlético Madrid is considered a miracle, and it has set a Guinness World Record!

"I heard that guy bought Atletico Madrid, that's why he showed up at Camp Nou!"

Gerald Pi looked at Puyol with a smile, raised his brows, and said encouragingly.

"This is our territory, so we have to give him some color, don't you think?"

Since Zlatan Ibrahimovic switched to Southampton that year, the grievances between Pique and the Saints have been settled.

Later, because of the sponsorship of Nike and Adidas, Pique was slapped severely by Yang Huan on WeChat. As a result, the rich and handsome Barcelona man couldn't stand it anymore and vowed to take revenge.

But who would have thought that in the International Champions Cup, he was ravaged by the two beasts of Southampton.

Well now, I have met the soft persimmon Atletico Madrid, and the new and old grudges are counted together!

Puyol turned around and grinned at his little friend, "Okay, kill them!"

"Hey, let them go back to Madrid and roll the sheets!" Gerard Pique was also excited.

The conversation between the two activists in the team immediately reached the ears of the teammates who walked out of the locker room, and they immediately came up to understand the situation.

As soon as they heard that this was the case, the players in the Barcelona team were all excited.

Is there anything more satisfying than ravaging an opponent and pleasing fans?

Besides, in the current La Liga standings, Barcelona ranks first, but Atletico Madrid ranks second with the same points, second only to Barcelona. If it weren't for the past few years, Atletico Madrid has always given Barcelona points. It should be a battle for the top of the list!

But now, the whole world feels that Barcelona's three points are firmly secured!

In the not spacious player tunnel, the Barcelona players walked down the stairs with a burst of laughter and walked behind the head coach.

In this game, Vilanova still played a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Valdez, the defense is Alba, Puyol, Pique and Alves, the midfielder is still the iron triangle Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi, and the front trident is Pedro. A combination of Ronaldo, Messi and Sanchez.

The referee for this game is the 45-year-old Spanish international referee, Michel Perez.

The image of the referee is very good, especially when he smiles, he looks very kind.

I checked the time, it's almost time, but why hasn't Atletico Madrid arrived yet?

Just as the referee and the referee team were discussing whether to urge them again, there was a sound of running above the steps of the player tunnel, and soon everyone at Atletico Madrid rushed down quickly.

"Let's go out!"

Miguel Perez held the ball, gave an order, and took the lead to go out.

The Barcelona players glanced at the Atletico Madrid players with a relaxed face, but they didn't realize that there was any problem, and many people couldn't help laughing.

That's it!

Playing against us in Barcelona, ​​which team's head coach didn't ask Qian Dingling Wan to do it?

After all, where is the strength gap?

But when the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel and lined up in front of the rostrum, the coaches of the home team, the fans in the rostrum, and even the TV commentators noticed something was wrong.

"Mandzukic didn't play this game!"

"Mario Suarez is back in the starting XI, and Raul Garcia, oh my god, what lineup does Atletico Madrid line up for this game?"

As soon as the roster was received and announced, many people were taken aback.

Goalkeeper Courtois, defense Felipe, Godin, Miranda and Juanfran, this is the standard equipment of Atletico Madrid.

But the midfield was astonishing.

Gabi, Illararamendi, Mario Suarez and Raul Garcia all appeared in the starting lineup!

Is this the configuration to play four midfielders?

On the forward line, Mandzukic did not play, but Diego Costa and Tevez appeared in the starting list.

At first glance, this is the configuration of 442!

Could it be that Simeone plans to play 442?

Also, such a set of midfield configuration seems to be a posture of strictly guarding against death, is it feasible?

The live TV camera gave a big close-up of Vilanova in front of the home team's coaching bench. The thin Barcelona coach also frowned, obviously thinking about Simeone's thoughts.

But Simeone, who was in front of the coaching bench of the visiting team, folded his arms and looked at the court playfully.

"What are you guys playing?"

In the chairman's stand of Camp Nou, Russell had a funny expression on his face and spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"Don't you guys want to set up an iron barrel array? This is not your style at all, Mr. Yang Huan!"

The whole world knows that Master Huan pursues offensive football, and Southampton's offense is also world-renowned.

But now, Atletico Madrid has put out such a lineup, which is very mismatched!

Yang Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, how Simeone arranges troops is his business, I'm only responsible for seeing the result!"

"Result?" Roselle laughed even more joyfully this time.

"Mr. Yang Huan, don't you know that in the past few years, Atletico Madrid's worst losses every season have been at our Camp Nou?"

"I know!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

"But I don't believe there is such a thing as a so-called magic spell, and even the saying that the style of the game is against each other is nonsense in my opinion, so I believe that Simeone still has a chance!"

"Really?" Russell shook his head with a smile.

He has a lot of cooperation with Yang Huan now, but deep down, he still has a grudge against Yang Huan.

Especially the transfer of Ibrahimovic!

That was a shame that he could never wash away in his life!

Therefore, he is also very happy to see Yang Huan encounter Waterloo at the Nou Camp!

"Just wait and see!" Yang Huan looked at the court and said confidently.

"Our players will let you clearly see what a real master of tigers and wolves is!"

The game at the Nou Camp is quickly gaining momentum!

In the fully packed stands, there were constant noises. The Barcelona fans had already sung the team's team anthem in solidarity with their team.

As long as Atletico Madrid is defeated in this game, Barcelona will be firmly at the top of the list!

With the whistle of the referee, Atletico Madrid took the lead in the away game.

Tevez suddenly went to the right, and after receiving a pass from Mario Suarez, he faced Alba and tried to break through the bottom pass, but Alba's defense was in place, and Tevez failed to create a threat. With a pass, Pique got ahead of Diego Costa and made a header to clear the siege.

Barcelona quickly fought back, but it was cleared by Atletico Madrid from the touchline, resulting in a penalty.

"We can see that Atletico Madrid's return to defense is very fast. Not only the defense line quickly returned to the defense zone, but also the four midfielders. Time reverts to our own half."

"It can be seen that the tone of Simeone's game is still based on defense."

"But the defense is very innovative, the overall formation is very wide, making full use of the four players in the defense, the four players in the midfield, and Tevez and Diego Costa who are actively retreating, and the formation is easy. The defensive situation of ten people has been broken, stick to the area from the 30-meter zone to the center line!"

"Barcelona's backcourt continued to fall, and Atletico Madrid did not press hard. Passed to the right and handed it to Pedro."

"Juanfran is the first to grab!"

"We noticed that Atlético Madrid had at least two players, Mario Suarez and Illarramendi, who moved towards Pedro's side, and they didn't want to press for the ball, just to force Barcelona to pass back. "

Pedro, Alba and Iniesta tried to cooperate, but after failing to create a chance, they had to pass back to the backcourt.

Atlético Madrid didn't press any more, allowing Barcelona to hold the ball and kick back.

Soon, the ball went to the right again and was given to Sanchez.

But just like before, Atletico Madrid's left-back Felipe went up to grab Sanchez immediately, Raul Garcia and Gabi also surrounded him immediately to form a siege.

Sanchez did nothing, passed the ball to Elvis, then passed to Harvey, Harvey got rid of Gabi, dribbled the ball to his own half, and was forced to pass back to the defense to Puyol and Pique.

"We noticed that Atletico Madrid's formation is flat, the distance between the three lines is very small, and the players echo and cooperate with each other in an orderly manner."

"Simeone's attitude is to give up possession and focus on defense!"

The ball returned to the half court, and Pique saw that the situation in the frontcourt could not be opened, so he chose a big foot to pass forward.

But the ball reached the frontcourt and was immediately pushed back by Atletico Madrid's defender.

Although the ball was held by Harvey and Messi relying on their personal abilities in the midfield, they returned to the back line without two or three kicks.

This time, Yang Huan in the stands laughed.

Simeone's move is really insidious and cunning!

This is the Nou Camp Stadium, Barcelona is ambitious to win, and the mentality must be more positive.

On the other hand, Atlético de Madrid, it doesn’t matter if I give up possession of the ball. As long as I hold on to it, we’ll be 0-0. Anyway, I’ve suffered disastrous defeats in the past few years. This year’s 0-0 is completely acceptable!

But with a score of zero to zero, Barcelona can't accept it!

First of all, in terms of mentality, Atletico Madrid is much more relaxed.

But just when everyone thought that Simeone was going to hold on to the situation, the cunning Argentine finally couldn't help showing his bloody fangs!
