Chapter 816: Atletico is still the same Atletico team

Why were Atletico able to win the treble last season? It was Simeone's excellent command, the unity of the Atletico players, and the goal of Lin Dong.

With 60 goals in the league, 20 in the Champions League and five in the Copa del Rey, Lin used the goals to carry Atletico Madrid and bring the title to Atletico Madrid.

This is also the reason why those giants did not hesitate to pay 150 million termination fees directly in the summer to take Lin Dong.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid's lineup this season is indeed not as good as Real Madrid, but as long as Lin Dong is still there, Atletico Madrid is still the team that won the treble last season, and it will continue to be able to compete for the title this season.

Of course, it's dangerous and undesirable for a team to put all their hopes in one player, because no one can guarantee that they will always be healthy and at the top, especially an athlete.

But what can Atletico Madrid do, this is the current situation of Atletico Madrid, not to mention Atletico Madrid, that is, Real Madrid and Barcelona have more or less this situation.

Last season's Barcelona was not less talked about, and even because of the so-called "Messi dependence", there was talk of selling Messi after the season.

The main reason why Real Madrid spent 100 million to buy Bale is not to avoid over-reliance on Ronaldo.

Of course, Atletico Madrid is also lucky, at least Atletico Madrid still has Lin Dong to rely on, other teams just can't rely on it, and they can't even buy it if they want to spend money, after all, there are only three players of Lin Dong's level in world football.

Seriously, Lin Dong's behavior this summer is incomprehensible to many people, because he has brought Atletico Madrid a treble and brought infinite glory, at this time, leaving is the best choice, even Atletico Madrid is ready for Lin Dong to leave, but Lin Dong is so unexpected, he chose to renew his contract with Atletico Madrid, he chose to stay.

Seriously, now many teams can't help but maliciously look forward to it, expecting Atletico Madrid to lose its magic, and expecting Real Madrid and Barcelona to be able to give their best, because in the hearts of many people, only if Lin Dong experiences despair in Atletico Madrid, he will choose to leave, just like those players who left before Atletico Madrid.

Or this is the difference between Lin Dong and those players who have left, and outsiders will definitely not guess Lin Dong's crazy thoughts, and Lin Dong is not a normal ordinary person.

On the field, with Lin Dong's goal, the scale of the game began to tilt seriously, and Atletico Madrid, who had expanded their advantage, began to retreat and shrink, playing what they are best at and the most familiar tactics.

And there is nothing Real Madrid can do about it, they are already behind, and now the disadvantage of this backwardness has been expanded, even if they know that the other side sees this, but they can only move forward according to the opponent's intentions, unless Real Madrid gives up the game.

In the twenty-fifth minute, Bale once again showed what it means to force overtaking, the speed at which Wales rushed up is definitely not covering, in today's football, there is really nothing that can stop it.

But Bale's efforts didn't speak for Real Madrid's goals, with Benzema lost in the Atletico penalty area and Rodriguez being heavily defended, especially after Atletico retreated.

If Atletico Madrid's offense relies on Lin Dong, then Atletico's defense relies on the whole, that is, tactics, although Felipe is gone, Atletico's defensive framework is still complete.

The time of the game was slowly passing like this, and although the attack of the Real Madrid side was crazy, there were only a handful of really threatening shots on goal, and Moya's performance was really eye-catching.

There was even a world-class save in stoppage time, when Karim Benzema, who had lost most of the half, ran open in the box and Isco's pass followed, right in front of goal, where a shot from close range was unbelievably denied by Moya.

Prior to this, Atletico Madrid actually had a good chance, and in the 38th minute, Lin Dong made a good ball for Raul Garcia, but unfortunately, Raul Garcia failed to grasp it.

Rushing into the box with the ball, it caught the attention of Raphael Varane and Ramos, and then crossed the ball to Raul Garcia, where the Atletico centre-forward fired home with almost no defence.

It's a pity that Raul Garcia's shot was a little too square, and there was almost no angle to speak of, and it went straight to Casillas's arms.

Simeone, who hit the sidelines directly with this shot, frowned, and also made Raul Garcia frown, although Atletico Madrid announced that the recruitment was over, but in the past few days, Atletico Madrid knows a little bit in the team, Simeone seems to have found management again, hoping to buy another player.

And according to the news spread in the past few days, Atletico Madrid wants to introduce offensive players, and it is very likely to be a striker, after all, Atletico Madrid's current forward configuration is indeed a little weak in personnel.

There is only one real striker, although Raul Garcia can also play, but he is an all-rounder, he can play almost all positions in the midfield, and Griezmann is similar, but the two have different skill types, Raul Garcia is a center forward, Griezmann is a winger and can even play nine and a half.

Maybe this is also the reason why Raul Garcia's shot is so bad, after getting the news, Raul Garcia's mentality is definitely affected.

After all, he was a substitute most of the time last season, and it was not until the conflict between Lin Dong and Costa became public that he finally came to the top.

In the new season, although Costa is gone, the arrival of Griezmann has made Raul Garcia jealous, and if there is another one in the end, Raul Garcia can already be imagined.

After all, no one likes to be a substitute, I originally thought that everything had been settled, but I didn't expect another accident in the end, Raul Garcia's mood can actually be imagined.

In the forty-second minute, Atletico Madrid had one more chance, or counterattack, Raul Garcia's header was ferried, Lin did not attack the goal after getting the ball, nor did he attack the goal from an angle, and rubbed back to Turan, who followed him, volleyed, on the penalty line, Turan stopped the ball on his chest, volleyed, and the ball was slightly higher.

Back in the dressing room, Simeone affirmed the performance in the first half, after all, the two-goal advantage is still obvious, and Simeone is also quite confident in his team's defense.

However, the advantage is always just the advantage, before the game is really over, Atletico Madrid still can't take it lightly, you know, they are facing Real Madrid, this game is a Madrid derby, although the Madrid derby seems to be a bit much.
