Inter Milan, who lost Jose Mourinho, were beaten 2-0 by Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup in the new season, so Manchester City are relatively hungry for this glory.

Although it is only one game, the gold content of this game is not low, after all, the two teams played together at the top of Europe last year, and compared to other leagues, the Europa League represents the strongest league in the world.

After the squad assembled, the Manchester City players spent only one day in Manchester before heading to Monaco on their albums, where the UEFA Super Cup will be held, at the Stade Louis II, Monaco's home stadium.

This stadium of Li Feng's age can only accommodate 18,500 people, but despite the small size of Louis II Stadium, he is one of the most luxurious and shocking stadiums in the world today.

Two weeks ago, Li Feng won the best player in Europe at Monaco, and now he is back to compete for the UEFA Super Cup.

"Atletico Madrid is not afraid of any opponent and we believe that as long as we can perform at the level we deserve, then we can leave with the title," Simeone said at the press conference, looking confidently at all the reporters present.

Simeone is also accompanied by the latest favourite, Diego Costa, who has declared his rise with five goals in three games in the first three league games.

"Of course I'm confident that I can score in the game, I'm a striker and the only thing I do in the game is to score goals," said manager Simeone, who has been in the limelight of late.

Atletico Madrid was full of confidence, and Manchester City, who arrived later, were equally confident, "We are here to win this trophy" Van Basten replied succinctly and forcefully.

'We've been in very good form lately and for this game we have confidence, goals? Of course, in a game like this, I think, no one will miss the opportunity to be a hero" with Van Basten to the press conference of Manchester City's new signing Robin van Persie.

In terms of goal percentages in the league, the two are half a catty, Costa scored five goals in three rounds, and Van Persie also scored four goals in three rounds.

The contest between Costa and Van Persie is definitely the biggest attraction of this game, and the media was originally disappointed that Aguero could not play in this game due to injury, but with Van Persie as a backup, this game is still very interesting between the forwards.

One of the things that Atletico Madrid is shining on the front line at the moment, but Atletico Madrid has always had a tradition of producing strikers, with the Italian tank Vieri in the early years.

After Vieri's departure, legendary Dutch striker Jimmy Hasselbaink carried on the tradition and won the La Liga Golden Boot before the Dutch striker left for England.

Atletico Madrid's golden boy Torres began to take over the mantle, the youngest captain in Atletico Madrid's history, and one title after another tells the world how good Atletico Madrid's young captain is.

However, years without a championship finally made their darlings leave England again, and then Argentine teenager Sergio Aguero took over the inheritance and told the world that Torres was gone, and Atletico Madrid still had no shortage of strikers.

At the same time, Uruguayan striker Forlan finally proved himself in Atletico Madrid, the young and famous Forlan was valued by Ferguson, but he was greeted with countless doubts and parallel goods, until he came to Atletico Madrid, Forlan finally proved himself, and became a striker who scored 30 goals in his first season after Ronaldo in the 08-09 season.

You know, at that time, there were no two major brushes in La Liga, which was a very rare thing at the time, but Aguero and Forlan, who supported Atletico Madrid's forward, both left.

So, Tiger Falcao descended on Calderón Stadium. Over the course of one season, Falcao has made the players of Atletico Madrid forget about those who left.

However, the world of football is so cruel that when Atletico Madrid fans transferred all their love to Falcao, he could not resist the temptation of Manchester United.

This summer, although Atletico Madrid received a huge sum of money, the manager did not focus on the transfer market, but aimed at the team.

As a result, with last season's outstanding performance, Costa became Simonsi's choice, and since then, Atletico Madrid's new generation of strikers has risen strongly.

Even after Costa, Atletico continued the tradition of producing strikers, but that was an afterthought, and it had nothing to do with the present.

At present, in terms of the front, it can be compared with Manchester City on the front line, in terms of midfield, because of the existence of Li Feng, except for Barcelona, there is no one in Europe who can compare with Manchester City at present, and even, even Barcelona is about to lose this qualification, because Xavi is 32 years old, at such an age, how long can Xavi have the peak level.

The 18,500-seat stadium at the Louis II stadium was already full, and in the home team's dressing room, Van Basten sat in the final preparations.

Van Basten is actually not good at what he says, so the Manchester City dressing room is generally quieter before the game, after all, what tactical arrangements have been made a long time ago, and there is no need to talk too much in the dressing room.

In this game, Manchester City chose a harder combination of Lescott and Kompany in the central defender position, and it can be seen from the previous games that although Costa is a Brazilian player, he is very physical, and he will often be entangled with opponent defenders in hand-to-hand combat.

There are no changes on both sides, Zabaleta and Klich, not to mention Li Feng in the middle, De Jong and Yaya Toure are back in the starting line, and the combination of Silva, Van Persie and Dzeko in the front line.

It can also be seen from Van Basten's lineup that Manchester City attaches great importance to this game, even if there is a league in two days, but for Manchester City, the UEFA Super Cup is a championship they have not touched, and they naturally do not want to miss it.

Atletico Madrid's lineup, the goalkeeper is on loan from Chelsea's young Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, and the back line, Felipe, Godin, Miranda, Juanfran in the back.

There are five players in midfield, Mario Suarez at the back, captain Gabi, young midfielders Alda Turan, Koke and Adrian López in front of them, and Costa as a lone striker.

Obviously, Simeone's idea is similar to Van Basten's, the league is so long, giving up a league for a championship, this is very worth trading, there is no reason not to do it, so Atletico Madrid is also the main force. (To be continued.) )
