Neither side was able to change the score in the ensuing game, and Barcelona eventually won 3-1 on the road, and they continued to put pressure on the Madrid duo to watch the civil war between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
By the end of Barcelona's away game, the Bernabeu had already been crowded, and the players from both sides were in the dressing room ready to play.
The atmosphere in the dressing rooms of both teams was very lively and they were ready for this matchup. Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid twice last season, with the score of both games being 3-2, which shows how fierce the game is.
Mourinho looked at his players and said: "Atletico have changed a lot from last season, tonight is going to be very tough, we have to be prepared for a tough fight.
In order to cope with their high pressing, we had to be quick to pass the ball in central midfield, and not only that, but also to reduce unnecessary crosses and returns.
We're going to break down Atletico's defence with speed! ”
After talking about attacking, he began to set up defense, and the reason why Magic Bird was able to succeed was that he had a deep attainment in defense.
"Atletico are very sharp in attack, the key point is on the king, we have to defend him no matter what. We have to treat him like Messi and can't give him space! ”
Ronaldo's expression has not changed, perhaps in his opinion, Wang Rui really deserves the attention of Real Madrid.
He looked at Khedira and Alonso and said, "Your mission tonight is to freeze him!" ”
Khedira and Alonso glanced at each other and nodded solemnly.
"Well, we have to have the confidence to win! Believe in yourself and you will win! ”
In the away dressing room, Simeone is boosting morale: "Last season we were beaten twice by Real Madrid! This season we want to give them back the shame!
Is Real Madrid strong?
Yes, they are strong, but let's not forget that we beat Barcelona 6-2! ”
The atmosphere in the locker room was even more enthusiastic, and Diego Costa said loudly: "Coach, you can rest assured, in fact, you don't need to mobilize at all for this game, we have been ready for a long time!" ”
Simão said in a deep voice: "Yes! Coach, we must give them back the shame of last season! ”
Simone nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good! Let's talk about the tactical arrangement, first of all, let's talk about the defensive ......."
……
At this moment, the media got the starting lists of both sides, Simeone lined up a four-four-two formation, goalkeeper: De Gea; Four defenders: Barella, Ujfarusi, Domingos, Felipe; Four midfielders: Mario Suarez, Thiago, Wang Rui, Simao; Two strikers: Diego Costa, Forlan.
Raul Garcia, Assunção and Godin, who were injured, failed to start, which had a certain impact on Atletico's strength.
In comparison, Real Madrid is a strong soldier and a strong horse, and almost all the main forces play.
Mourinho's lineup is four-two-three-one, goalkeeper: Casillas; Four defenders: Ramos, Carvalho, Pepe, Marcelo; two midfielders, Khedira, Alonso; Right midfielder Di Maria, Mesut Ozil in the middle, Ronaldo on the left wing; Higuain is the only striker.
Looking at the starting lists of both sides, a reporter sighed: "This is the difference between the giants and other teams, look at who is still sitting on the Real Madrid bench?" Kaka, Benzema, these are famous stars......"
"Kaka is injured, otherwise you can watch the duel between him and Wang, they are all offensive forwards, it's a pity ......"
"It's hard for the king to shine tonight, Khedira and Alonso, one has the body, the other has experience, they are not as easy to break through as others."
A British reporter said unconvinced: "During the World Cup, Maradona was always not optimistic about the king, but the king kept hitting him in the face. ”
……
At 7:45, the starters of both sides stood in the tunnel of the players.
Cristiano Ronaldo stood at the back of the Real Madrid team with a solemn expression, his eyes fixed on the end of the players' tunnel, where the turf of the Bernabeu was.
Real Madrid has several players watching Wang Rui, the 16 goals in the World Cup is undoubtedly a myth, a miracle, they want to see what is different from this young man.
Handsome, sunny, and even-shaped, they didn't find anything different in Wang Rui, and they were faintly disappointed in their hearts.
But Casillas and Alonso, who participated in the World Cup final, were not disappointed in their hearts, only strong fighting spirit and raging war.
They're going to get back from their disappointment in the World Cup final tonight!
Led by four referees, players from both sides walked to the pitch and were greeted by the cheers of the tsunami!
Flags fluttering, war drums!
The Bernabeu, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, is basically full!
Wang Rui's expression froze, although he has played famous stadiums such as Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford, and has also appeared in the World Cup final, he is still shocked.
The Bernabeu is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent football stadiums in the world today, and eternal superstars such as Stefano, Puskas, Ronaldo, Raul, Zidane and many others have galloped on the sacred grass field with the famous white stripes at the Bernabeu!
At this moment, the stars are shining in the VIP seats, Zidane, Raul, Hierro ...... Former Real Madrid superstars, they are here to witness what is probably the most important Madrid derby in recent decades.
Real Madrid's senior management, led by Real Madrid President Calderón, sat in the VIP seat, and the Spanish senior official who had set up obstacles for the dream company sat quietly in the VIP box......
Atletico boss Hill? How could Marin miss such a grand event, he led a group of Atletico Madrid executives to also sit in the VIP box.
Wang Rui looked up at the crowded stands, looked at the dancing team flag, listened to the huge cheers of the fans, exhaled deeply, and said to himself in his heart: "Boy, this is a big stage, a big stage, a stage that belongs to you!"
Let 90,000 cheer for your wonderful goal! (To be continued.) )
