80_80813 Camp Nou at night, brightly lit and bright as day.

After the players from both teams returned to the dressing room after their pre-match warm-up sessions, Diego Simeone also walked into the tunnel of the players.

The Camp Nou's tunnel is spacious, with a sloping red marble staircase leading to the team's dressing room at the end.

The passages are flanked by delicate wallpaper with portraits of Barcelona's first-team players.

When Diego Simeone saw this, he couldn't help but snort.

"Why don't you put a portrait on the stairs?"

The implication is, in this way, won't Lao Tzu be able to trample you all under your feet?

Walking up the stairs step by step, listening to the tsunami-like sound of the Camp Nou outside, Simeone's mind also opened, and he couldn't help but enter the scene a week ago, the day after playing Real Madrid, in the Mahada Enda training base, when he met with the team owner Yang Huan.

After landing in Europe, he went through three bosses, all at Atletico Madrid.

One is the former chairman Cerezo and Mr. Hill Jr., both of whom are very calculating, ambitious, but not courageous, and always think about how to spend less money, or even no money, and do big things directly.

There is also a boss who is surnamed Qin and surnamed Qian.

Both idiots are ball blind, don't understand football at all, and can't play professional football at all.

But they are rich!

There is no doubt that Yang Huan is the most knowledgeable and richest of the three bosses he has experienced.

But more importantly, he understands people!

When Simeone raised all kinds of hidden dangers of the team, Yang Huan would not find a lot of reasons to prevaricate like Cerezo and Little Hill in the past, and even told the team's difficulties with a bitter face.

At the same time, he is not like the two ball blinds surnamed Qin and Qian, who don't understand anything and don't know where to start.

He just asked, "What do you want?"

After that, Simeone's own blueprint, such as further improving the team's tactics, focusing on the refinement of local operations, which can effectively reduce the physical consumption of players.

The other aspect is to improve the depth of the team's bench.

Simeone has proposed that he wants to recall Koke back to Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish midfielder has been more of a rotation since he left for Southampton six months ago, but at Atletico Madrid, Simeone intends to entrust Koke with a heavy responsibility.

Because he knows Cork, and Cork knows him!

Yang Huan also admitted that his decision half a year ago was wrong, so he agreed to Simeone's request.

So, with a phone call, Cork will return to Atletico Madrid during the winter break.

However, Simeone clearly still feels that it is not enough, and he also wants to further improve the depth of the bench and the squad, especially in the midfield.

The heart of the midfield, Gabi, is 30 years old, and in Simeone's opinion, Ilia Ramendi is the most suitable replacement.

But this does not mean that Ilya Ramendi's goal is Gabi, on the contrary, in Simeone's eyes, Ilya Ramendi has great potential and hope to surpass Gabi.

The overall strength level of Atletico Madrid's current group of main players is not high, and even players such as Miranda, Godin, Turan, and Gabi can only be substitutes when they are placed in the first-line giants.

It's like Graveson, who was the core of Everton at Moyes, how beautiful and glorious he was in the Premier League, but after coming to Real Madrid, he still can't stand.

But if Atletico Madrid wants to stay in the top three in the league and retain Champions League qualification for a long time, it is not only necessary to have a short-term plan, but also to look at the problem from a long-term perspective.

Gabby is thirty years old, Miranda is twenty-nine, and Felipe and Juanfran are twenty-eight.

Yes, these players are in their prime and at the peak of their careers, but how long will they be able to keep it up?

With Atletico Madrid's tactics of such astonishing consumption, it would be good if they could hold out for two or three years.

And what about two or three years from now?

To put it cold-blooded, from a realistic point of view, this tactic of Atletico Madrid is unlikely to last in the long run, and players such as Gabi, Miranda, Turan, and Suarez will only become a kind of transition for the team.

Use their sacrifice to lay a solid foundation for the future rise of Atletico Madrid!

In the future, if Atletico Madrid wants to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, it will not be possible to rely on them.

Who's going to have to do that?

By the likes of Koke, Ilya Ramendi, Diego Costa, Carlos Tevez, Mandzukic, Antoine Griezmann and Thibaut Courtois!

In other words, Atletico Madrid will have to bring in a group of young players to supplement the squad.

It takes a process and the team management needs to plan ahead!

Otherwise, the team's results will definitely be affected and there will be turmoil.

Just like the hornets Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Simeone dares to guarantee that this team will definitely have a major reshuffle in less than three years.

And Atletico Madrid, whose average age is higher than Dortmund, can not plan ahead?

Simone's words successfully persuaded Young Master Huan, who expressed his full support for Simone's plan on the spot.

Unlike other owners, Cerezo and Hill Jr. used to say the same thing, but as soon as they turned around and returned to Calderón Stadium, they immediately began to argue.

Either they feel that the value of the players Simeone is too high, or the quality of the players they recommend is too low.

There's no way, it's the information age, I really want to be cheap, once or twice is considered lucky, it's always like this, is it possible?

But this time, Young Master Huan was obviously different.

As soon as he returned to Calderón Stadium, Young Master Huan immediately called Soriano and others over for a meeting, and at the same time activated the scouting systems of Atletico Madrid and Southampton, and drew up a list in response to Simeone's request.

Originally, Simeone thought it would take a long time, but two days later, after the Europa League match, the list and detailed information, as well as the video of the players, were placed in front of Simeone.

This made Simeone almost lose his jaw!

Eventually, after Simeone had confirmed the roster, Begiristan, who was in charge of the team's transfer operations, left Madrid the next day.

Just yesterday, when Begiristain returned to Madrid, he immediately gave Simeone a satisfactory answer.

During the winter break, Atletico Madrid will recall Cork from Southampton and bring in Saints Academy youngster Malkovic.

The player is much admired by Bielsa, but with the current wide players in the Saints, Markovic is struggling to get a chance at the moment, but he may have more chances when he comes to Atletico Madrid.

But this is just the beginning of a rejuvenating squad.

In the summer of 2013, Atletico Madrid will bring in Dutch youngster Krasi, who has the titles of Davies Jr. and Xavi Jr., from Feyenoord for 6 million euros.

But just these two nicknames are enough to make it clear that the strength and potential of the 21-year-old Dutch youngster, who has been outstanding in the Dutch league for three consecutive seasons, has also entered the Dutch national team, and is highly used by Van Gaal.

There is also a transfer from Brazil's Santos Filipe Anderson, who is 19 years old and currently in the Brazilian league table, and Atletico Madrid paid a whopping 8 million euros to acquire him.

Clasea and Felipe Anderson were both hand-picked by Simeone as part of a rejuvenating team!

In this way, Courtois, Peruzzi, José Gaja, Ilya Ramendi, Koke, Clasi, Salvio, Griezmann, Markovic and Filipe Anderson.

With as many as 10 post-90s players at Atletico Madrid, and local academy players such as Saul and Oliver Torres currently doing quite well, Simeone's rejuvenation strategy has been implemented smoothly.

In addition, Diego Costa, Godin, Juanfran, Felipe, Turan, Suarez, Mandzukic and a group of twenty-five or sixteen-year-old players who are in their playing years, plus veterans such as Miranda and Gabi.

This time, the first-team lineup of the Sheets Army is quite ideally combined.

Not only that, but even Yang Huan also gave a promise that in the transfer market next summer, as long as Simeone likes it and thinks it is suitable, Atletico Madrid can win it, and even if the transfer fee is less than 10 million euros, the club will decide for itself!

This is tantamount to giving Simeone and the management considerable financial and transfer rights!

10 million euros, a summer, the European transfer market exceeds 10 million, only a few orders?

Rich and rich, too rich, is there any?

Compared with the previous sling-like Serezo and Little Hill, and the nouveau riche Qin Qian, Young Master Huan is really powerful!

As soon as he thought of this, Simeone's mind couldn't help but surge with excitement.

The excitement of wanting to yell at the world and make everyone's attention shift their attention to themselves!

He knows that there is this desire up and down at Atletico Madrid!

Even the fans of the Sheets Army also have this desire!

"This is a beautiful voice, isn't it?"

A voice came from behind him.

Simeone looked back, only to see Barcelona coach Vilanova smiling through the tunnel.

The manager, who came under a lot of pressure when he took over, but with a string of victories and the best start ever, managed to establish himself in the Barcelona manager's position, there is no telling confidence at this moment.

"What did you say?" Simeone didn't quite understand.

Vilanova smiled and pointed to the entrance to the players' tunnel below, "The fans outside are shouting a slogan. ”

Simeone raised his eyebrows, Damn, it won't be a mockery of us, right?

"We love you, Mourinho, please stay!" Villanova laughed.

Simeone was stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of amusement.

How much hatred does this have to be to ridicule Mourinho like this?

However, to be so ridiculed by more than 90,000 Barcelona fans at Camp Nou, Mourinho can be regarded as a success!

Oh, by the way, Vilanova became familiar to fans all over the world for the first time, and it seems to have come from his clash with Jose Mourinho.

"Although Mourinho said that it is impossible to threaten us anymore after being 14 points behind, I still think that we can't be careless and can't let our guard down, what do you think?" Vilanova smiled and looked at Simeone.

This man spoke very gently, but there was a persistence in his eyes.

It can be seen that he is eager to prove himself, otherwise, he would not have been between Barcelona's top management and his friend Pep Guardiola half ago, and resolutely chose the former and abandoned the latter.

And now, if he wants to continue the magic of the beginning, he has to kill Atletico Madrid!

Simeone is not easy to mess with, he is the kind of guy who is very cunning and sinister.

After listening to Villanova's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch and he laughed.

"Then you'd better sprint faster, or we'll be bored chasing after us!"

After saying that, Simeone laughed again, "Oh, and besides, they always say that we are very rough and direct, but I think we will be gentle tonight, I'm afraid you can't stand it!" ”

Only then did Simeone smile and walk up.

But in my heart, I was thinking fiercely, if Lao Tzu doesn't abuse you tonight, I will have your surname!

Vilanova stared at Simeone's back, pouted with a sneer, and wanted to overtake, but there was no door!

"This is Camp Nou!"
