Before you know it, it's been four years!

Diego Simeone stood in front of the home team's dugout at the Stade de la Glory, his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at the pitch.

He wore the black suit and shirt that was said to bring him good luck, and his entire body, except for the exposed skin, was black, including his hair and beard.

This makes him look a bit like the Italian mafia, more like he came out of the movie Matrix.

It's handsome and stylish, isn't it?

Four years ago, when he first took over Atletico Madrid, he said for the first time in front of the media that he would use four years to build Atletico Madrid into the best team in La Liga, challenging the domination of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

You must know that at that time, La Liga was still the world of Barcelona.

Even the Portuguese madman from Real Madrid will not be able to shake Pep Guardiola's dynasty.

But Simeone, who was born as a professional player, knows very well that no matter how strong the team is, it can't beat time after all!

Although Atletico Madrid once changed hands, although today's Atletico Madrid is very different from the sheet army he sketched and imagined back then, and even far from his own plan back then, he succeeded!

People are like this, the world is changing, who dares to guarantee that they will be able to realize their dreams back then?

Especially that kind of original dream, who can realize it?

Four years on, Simeone's side have won two league titles and reached the Champions League final.

This season, he has a hunch that his team is stronger than in the past two seasons, even better than the season when he reached the Champions League final!

La Liga is the only team that is unbeaten so far, and this is the biggest affirmation for Simeone.

He also has a hunch that in the last four years, he has achieved his goals, and in the next four years, he wants to take his team one step further and put Atletico Madrid on the top of Europe!

He felt that he could do it, because he was not far from that goal!

Compared with four years ago, when he first came to Europe, he was still a little unfamiliar and immature, but now he is different, and now he knows very well that Atletico Madrid is fully equipped to support him to go further in terms of both the squad and the overall strength of the team.

Whoever stands in front of him, he doesn't mind moving away!

Even if this player was Diego Costa, whom he once admired so much, he decided to sell it!

Because he will not allow anyone to ruin his dreams!

Some people call him a bandit handsome, which is not to praise him for being handsome.

That should be his sworn enemy, David Beckham.

Anyone who looks like Simeone is difficult to associate with the word handsome.

Everyone's feelings about him are the previous word, bandit!

Simeone liked the word very much, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Bandits, that is, if they fall in love with other people's things, they will rob them, and they will not give up until they reach their goal!

This is not a bad thing on the professional field, but it should be a virtue.

Therefore, in the past, when the strength of Atletico Madrid led by him was insufficient, he would use all kinds of rough kicks and use all means to defeat his opponents.

But not anymore.

Because the team is strong, if you use this kind of trick again, it will obviously not be in the stream.

It's like a beggar who, when he is so poor that he has nothing to eat, will stretch out his hands to beg for a dollar to buy a steamed bun.

But for a man worth millions, a dollar?

Hmph, if you fall to the ground, you may not be willing to bend down to pick it up!

Simeone watched the hard-working players on the pitch, watched them run and press aggressively on the pitch, watched them sweat and pant for breath, but when they needed themselves, they rushed forward one by one.

He really felt that this was the team he wanted!

This is the team of his dreams!

He even felt that if such a team could not achieve results, then he did not know what kind of team there was!

Simeone stood on the sidelines, his hands in his trouser pockets, and from time to time he raised it to point out a few words to the players on the field.

What to say, he said before the game, what to do, the players did a good job on the pitch.

After the opening, they pressed the former invincible Barcelona on the grass of the Glory Stadium, and beat Barcelona to the ground.

Just for this point, Atletico Madrid has already succeeded!

But neither Simeone nor the Atletico Madrid players felt that it was enough, because they both believed that they could do better and better.

Only by constantly surpassing themselves can they have the opportunity to win the European championship!

So, every player on the pitch is not just trying to give it their all, they're also eager to do more.

Isco, a weak scholar who has changed from a weak scholar to a wolf-like bandit now, has lost some of the fancys of the past on the court, and has more ruthless conciseness and efficiency.

Sometimes he was on the left, sometimes on the right, and even occasionally in the middle.

Simeone gave him and Cork the freedom to do whatever they wanted along the front lines of the penalty area.

His body was much stronger.

It was as if this time, he had his back to Busquets, and in the face of a pass from Krichowiak in front of him, he used his body to block Busquets and pick the ball over.

A year ago, this would have been unimaginable.

At that time, his body was vulnerable and he fell down as soon as he hit him, how could he show such a unique skill?

But this time, he not only picked Busquets, but in the face of Pique, who was attacking, he made a faster move, and picked up the ball that had just fallen from mid-air a few points higher, looking at the big foot that avoided Pique's clearance.

To say that this Pique is also sinister, he couldn't touch the ball, and when he saw Isco turn around Busquets, he secretly made another pulling move, trying to hide from the referee and pull Isco down.

But Isco only lost his balance a little, and immediately adjusted, and quickly chased after the ball.

Because of that pulling action, Pique missed the opportunity to return to defense at the first time, which made Simeone grin on the sidelines, showing his white teeth and smiling.

Too many small actions are not necessarily a good thing.

After Isco got past two Barcelona players in one go, he didn't wait for Mascherano to get close and split the ball to the right side, where Griezmann slapped his horse and easily pushed the ball through the Barcelona goal.

"Yay!"

At the moment when Griezmann scored the goal, Simeone was so excited that he rushed out like a sharp arrow, raised his hands high, and roared at the players on the pitch.

The ball is in!

The referee unmistakably blew the whistle for the goal to be effective!

Two to zero!

In the twenty-eighth minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid scored again, 2-0!

Wonderful, so exciting!

It wasn't just Simeone who got carried away with excitement, but even the assistant coaches in the home team's dugout cheered.

It's a gamble!

Simeone bets that the team can score another goal in half an hour!

No one will know, not even the fans in the stands, that the coaching staff is already preparing to make the players on the pitch drop back if the team doesn't score for another minute or so.

In half an hour, Atletico Madrid firmly suppressed Barcelona for half an hour, which is already the limit of Atletico Madrid.

If it continues like this, the first half has exhausted all the strength, and the second half will not be played.

Isco's assist, Griezmann's goal, completely released the pressure on everyone in Atletico Madrid, so that Simeone's efforts were rewarded.

The 2-0 score was definitely a big setback for Barcelona, but it greatly boosted the morale of Atletico Madrid.

All the players will be more confident and they will know exactly how they will cope with the next games.

The players on the pitch were all getting carried away and celebrating, and the fans in the stadium were also shouting wildly.

Only the Barcelona players, they looked at the big blow, all of them pulled their heads, and the manager Enrique shook his hands angrily on the sidelines, he had reason to be angry because it shouldn't be Barcelona's performance.

They could have done better, but after the opening, they were suppressed by Atletico Madrid's crazy tactics and had no power to fight back, and when they were about to be able to free up their hands to counterattack, they scored again!

1-0 and 2-0, these are two completely different scores in a football game.

Especially when you're playing against a team like Atletico Madrid, it's a world of difference.

Now, Enrique is faced with a dilemma.

Pressing out and attacking, can the goal be defended?

If you don't invest more troops in the offensive end, why can you recover these two conceded goals?

As the players walked back to the pitch in celebration, Simeone walked over and high-fived them one by one, then raised his left hand in a playful gesture of an eggplant.

Oh no, it's not an eggplant, it's a victory!

No one knew how long he and his assistants had been preparing for this short thirty minutes.

But everyone can see that the former slings and the Sheet Army have pressed the once unbeatable rich and handsome Barcelona to the grass and beaten his nose and face to the ground.

Is there anything more enjoyable in the world?

As Simeone walked back to the home team's dugout, she hugged her assistants one by one, smiling and talking to them as if she had already won.

But what everyone didn't expect was that as soon as this guy turned around and walked to the sidelines, he yelled at the players, telling them not to let go, and they were about to kick off.

"Give me concentration, pay attention, press back Barcelona's attack!"

The players were happy one by one, but they didn't dare to be careless, and they all set up a formation as if they were facing a big enemy.

It is estimated that they must be scolding in their hearts at this time.

Nimei, this head coach is estimated to be a dog, turning his face is faster than turning a book, he was still smiling just now, and he didn't recognize anyone when he turned his face, it's just shameless!

However, to be able to play at Atletico Madrid, it is estimated that they have long been accustomed to Simeone's style.

That's right, he's a dog!

People born in 1970 are not dogs, so what are they?

On the field, the Barcelona players must have scolded in their hearts, specially, this group of Atletico Madrid bastards must be dogs, they attacked so hard just now, but now they are all retracted one by one, it's too unusual.

If you have the ability, you guys will press it out and attack it!

But what can be done?

Atletico Madrid now has two goals in hand, and they are still fighting with you, isn't that self-inflicted?

Therefore, on the field, Barcelona wanted to attack, but Atletico Madrid was ready to play and arranged the defensive position very tightly, so that Barcelona could not find a chance to start.

But once Barcelona made a mistake and was caught by Atletico Madrid, they immediately fought back unswervingly.

Almost every counterattack can scare Barcelona into a cold sweat.
