Chapter 229 For the Champion

On Simeone's tactical board, the left, center, and right are all drawn with dense arrows.

The center of these arrows is a small dot in the opponent's penalty area.

"Guys, how important this game is to us, I'm sure everyone understands it!"

Simeone put down the pen in his hand, propped his hands on the table, and said slowly.

Simeone, in a suit, stood at a long table in the conference room, and the players and his assistants sat in two rows, watching their manager talk. No one would interrupt Simeone at this moment.

It's not like a football club's manager talking to his players, it's like a club boss talking to his younger brothers.

But then again, Simeone's image doesn't look like a traditional football coach in the first place. Instead, he is more like a leading big brother, and the group of younger brothers under him, Godin, Mirada, Gabi, and Cork........ Li Qingshan. It's like a thug under his command, charging into battle under the command of his eldest brother.

"Our goal is to score goals! Score as many goals as you can! ”

"But at the same time, we can't let them play comfortably on the counter-attack, I believe everyone knows that Messi, Neymar and Suarez are the threat of the three."

Godin, Milan and other defenders nodded, as opponents, they know the strength of the opponent's three strikers best.

"So we can't give them space!"

"But if we don't press it, how can we attack?"

Simeone pushed the tactical board a little further.

"They have Messi, we have Qingshan!"

Simeone pointed at Li Qingshan and said.

In the face of Simeone's comparison with Messi, Li Qingshan did not show flattery, but nodded in agreement.

He certainly wouldn't consider himself worse than Messi.

That's where the confidence comes in being a top player. As a centre-forward, you have to be confident all the time.

The other Atletico players didn't make a fuss, Li Qingshan was their teammate, and of course they were on the side of their teammates.

Even Griezmann, who was dissatisfied with Li Qingshan at first, nodded his head.

'What if we have five minutes left and we're one goal behind?' Simeone sold a pass.

"Ball high into the box!"

One player replied.

Simeone nodded: "That's right, high ball!" ”

"From the very beginning of this game, we played high balls! However, when other teams play high balls, they need to maintain enough numbers in the penalty area, so that there are fewer people to defend the opponent's counter-attack. But we don't have to do this, because we have Li Qingshan! ”

Simeone mentioned Li Qingshan again, and in this game, Simeone pressed all the treasures on Li Qingshan.

The so-called soldier dies for his confidant. The head coach trusts himself so much, which naturally moves Li Qingshan.

He stood up and said, "Boss, brothers! It's up to me then! ”

Simeone nodded and continued: "We just need three people in the box. Anthony! ”

Simeone turned to Griezmann.

Griezmann raised his hand and signaled that he was listening.

"You're going to have to run around this Lee. Shoot when you get the chance! ”

Griezmann nodded.

Simeone, after confirming that Griezmann was clear, made another request to Koke and Raul Garcia: "You two, when the other side crosses, you must get into the box in time!" Three people in the opponent's penalty area, enough is enough! ”

Simeone said, and slapped the table with his hand at the end.

"Champion!! This game is desperate to win!! ”

"Win !!!!!"

The players stood up and roared in unison.

...............

Atletico Madrid's pre-match mobilization was undoubtedly quite successful.

As the players from both sides stood in the tunnel at the Calderón Stadium ready to play, the Barcelona players clearly felt the murderous spirit of Atletico Madrid.

When it was said that some of the players were lined up to play, the fans at the Calderón Stadium also made a loud noise and created pressure on the visiting team.

Live DJs guide the fans and bring the atmosphere to a climax from the start.

Every time the DJ read the name of a player, the fans responded with a cheer.

When Li Qingshan, who was standing at the end of the team, appeared, the cheers of the fans resounded in the sky, and the entire Calderón Stadium was like an erupting volcano!

The on-site TV camera was also well prepared, giving a long enough close-up of the key players of both sides as the players from both sides lined up.

There is no doubt that the most crucial player on Atletico Madrid's side is Li Qingshan.

As a striker who has scored 47 goals for Atletico Madrid in the league, his role for Atletico Madrid cannot be overstated.

In addition to Li Qingshan, Atletico Madrid's No. 2 scorer Antoine Griezmann is also crucial, Li Qingshan's striker partner, so far this season, has contributed 21 league goals, ranking fourth in the league scorer list, behind Li Qingshan, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Together, Atletico Madrid's two strikers have scored 68 goals, more than most teams in La Liga have scored in a season.

But Barcelona's forward combination is even more terrifying in terms of statistics. The MSN trident of Messi, Neymar and Suarez has combined for 80 league goals so far this season. The most goals scored in the risk mix of Europe's top five leagues.

Of course, it's obviously not fair for the three Barcelona players to face the two players from Atletico Madrid. Judging from personal data, Messi has scored 44 league goals so far, three goals behind Li Qingshan, and one goal behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 45 goals, ranking third in the scorer list. As for the other two players, Suarez scored 19 league goals and Neymar scored 17 league goals.

On average, Atletico Madrid's strikers are even more efficient at scoring goals than Barcelona's!

"This game is a game in which Atletico Madrid is playing at home, but the format is quite unfavorable to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona only need a draw to win the league title one round earlier. Therefore, for Enrique, he can rest assured that he can play boldly defensive counterattacks in this game, and Atletico Madrid is bound to press up and attack, and the space behind them will give Messi, Neymar, and Suarez, three players with super individual ability, room to play. For Atletico Madrid, it's better to score sooner rather than later. ”

Before the start of the match, the guests on TV began to babble about the opinions of the speakers, most of whom were not optimistic about Atletico Madrid.

Of course, these remarks can make Atletico Madrid fans anxious at best, but not on the players who are already on the pitch at the moment.

With the referee's whistle, the 37th round of the league, the focus of La Liga's title battle, Atletico Madrid hosted Barcelona game. It's officially launched!
