Chapter 474: The state came out too early?

In this season's pre-season training, Atletico Madrid will not be able to stay in Spain to play warm-up matches.

As the winner of La Liga and the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid was invited to participate in the World Football Challenge.

Speaking of the World Football Challenge, many fans may not know that this is the predecessor of the international championship event held before the season of the following season, which was held in 2009, and last season was suspended for a year due to the World Cup, so this year is the second tournament.

When it was first held in 2009, there were only four teams in the tournament: AC Milan, Inter Milan, Chelsea and América.

After the resumption in 2011, the number of teams participating in the competition increased significantly, not only from Europe and Mexico, but also from the United States. Participants include: Manchester United, New England Revolution, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, América (Mexico), Manchester City, Vancouver Whitecaps, Atletico Guadalajara, Chicago Fire, Philadelphia Union, Juventus, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid!

…….

After 20 days of pre-season training in Spain, Atletico Madrid flew to the United States to compete in the World Challenge.

This is actually the nature of the warm-up game, but it is held more formally. However, no matter how regular it is, it is also a warm-up game, so there is no limit to the number of substitutions in the game.

Atletico Madrid's first warm-up match was played against the LA Galaxy in Los Angeles on July 17.

The match attracted a lot of attention from fans, and of course, maybe not just fans. The Americans like to join in the fun, and they treat this kind of game as a big party, and the supporters of Atletico Madrid are not only local Atletico Madrid fans, but also many local Chinese in Los Angeles.

They entered the stadium wearing Atletico Madrid shirts to show their support for compatriot Gobo's team.

There is no suspense in the game, although the United States is a regular visitor to the World Cup, but their football level is compared to their basketball, rugby and the like, which can be regarded as their weak sport in the world.

The LA Galaxy didn't cause much trouble for Atletico Madrid, while Gao Bo was mainly trying to test the team's various personnel and hone the game chemistry between the new players and the old players.

When he started, all the new signings came on.

In the first half, Atletico Madrid established an early three-goal lead, with Diego Costa scoring twice and Sadio Mane netting a goal as well.

In the second half, Gao Bo made a large substitution, and almost the entire team was replaced.

And then the team did well, and their dazzling combination up front made the fans at the scene addicted.

In the end, a 6-1 victory made the fans on the scene unsatisfied.

It also made the reporters who came to the scene unsatisfied.

Atletico Madrid's attack does look pleasing to the eye and flowing.

Atletico Madrid then played two more matches.

They were against Guadalajara on July 21 and Philadelphia Union on July 24.

In these two games, Atletico Madrid also won by a big margin.

4-0 Guadala, 5-0 Philadelphia Union!

Bloodless and easy wins.

Atletico Madrid showed very good form in the warm-up matches.

Their trip to the United States looked very smooth.

However, despite three consecutive big wins, Atletico Madrid did not win the World Football Challenge, because the title belonged to Real Madrid.

Jose Mourinho's side's attacking firepower in the warm-up matches amazed the world, scoring 16 goals in three games without conceding a single goal to win the World Challenger on goal difference.

Real Madrid and Neymar transfer rumours continue, but it has been announced that Neymar will not choose to go to Europe this season and will continue to play in Brazil for another season. And the player himself is more inclined to join Barcelona.

Florentino's handpicked players look unlikely to wear the Real Madrid shirt this season.

And if there is no way to buy Neymar, Real Madrid has turned their attention to Tottenham superstar Bale.

Many media outlets are smacking their tongues at Bell's likely worth.

The current leak is that Real Madrid are ready to pay 70 million euros to bring the Welshman to the Bernabeu.

Bale was fixed as a winger at Tottenham last season and has been out of control ever since.

Bale's performance last season was reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo!

Last season, Real Madrid were all four, and they urgently need to bring in enough stars to lay the foundation for their new season.

If you follow normal history, the Tottenham player targeted by Real Madrid this season is Modric, but Modric was preemptively bought by Gao Bo to Atletico Madrid last season. Therefore, the most eye-catching transfer of Real Madrid this season has become Bale.

After Neymar's recruitment stalemate, Real Madrid set their sights on Bale.

These days, almost all the media are following the transfer news of Real Madrid.

As long as it comes to the transfer period, Florentino's Real Madrid must be the darling of the media, the giant crocodile in the transfer market!

There is so much news about Real Madrid in the transfer market, and Real Madrid seems to have a tendency to recruit all the stars.

This seems to have put many Real Madrid supporters in a good mood.

So much so that at the post-match press conference of Atletico Madrid's last World Football Challenge, some reporters proudly mentioned to Gao Bo that Real Madrid won the championship over Atletico Madrid.

This made Gao Bo a little crying and laughing.

"If Real Madrid thinks this title is good, then I congratulate them on winning the title, which means that this season, Real Madrid will not be able to at least empty all four."

Many reporters in the audience laughed, especially the Catalan media.

As the Atletico Madrid players left the United States on a plane, the media began to summarize Atletico Madrid's trip to the United States.

Atletico Madrid's three warm-up matches were largely faulty, but most of the media blamed the opponent for this.

Compared to Atletico Madrid, the teams in the major leagues are really not strong....

"Atletico Madrid's three big wins in the warm-up matches will certainly delight the Atletico fans, but we have to pour cold water on the fans. Any team has ups and downs, and if you run out of form in the warm-up game, when it comes to the official game, I'm afraid you won't be able to find such a state! ”

This is the report of the newspaper Marca, in which they said.

And Atletico Madrid didn't pay much attention to what the media said.

After returning to Spain, they warmed up for two more games.

They were warm-up matches against Osasuna and Napoli in Serie A.

In these two games, Atletico Madrid won 3-0 and 2-0 respectively.

In this way, Atletico Madrid kept winning all the warm-up matches before the start of the league.

This should be happy for Atletico Madrid fans, but due to the media's remarks that "it's not a good thing to be out too early", it also affected some Atletico Madrid fans.
