"Camp Nou? Are you sure?"
Just walking out of the team's locker room, Puyol stopped tying his belt and looked at the centre-back partner Gerald Pique in disbelief, who had just told him an incredible news.
"Yes, very sure, he is in the chairman's stand!" Gerald Pique nodded very surely.
Puyol didn't say anything, just nodded and continued to tie his belt.
"It seems that the news from the outside is true, this guy has an extraordinary relationship with Atletico Madrid!"
Gerald Picker said eagerly.
Even now, he still clearly remembers how two beasts, Ibrahimovic and Drobana of Southampton, ravaged him at the Miami Stadium a few months ago.
That is simply inhuman abuse!
They are simply not human!
Whenever I think of it, dreaming back in the middle of the night, Gerald Pique still has lingering fears and shadows.
Southampton is now a bull, it is strong, Barcelona will not be able to touch them for a while, besides, if they do, Gerard Pique may not have the confidence to revenge.
But Atletico Madrid is different, this team has always been Barcelona's meat on the plate, Chinese food on the plate.
Who doesn't know, Atletico Madrid's least favorite away game is the Nou Camp, which scores almost every year.
Do not believe?
Last season, Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid a five to zero at the Nou Camp!
Going back, the season 10-11, it was three to zero, the season 09-10 was five to two, and the season 08-09 was even worse, six to one, and three from seven to eight. Than zero.
The 2006-07 season was slightly better. The Camp Nou matchup was one to one, but the problem is that Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid six to zero at the Calderon Stadium.
Look, for the past so many years, Barcelona has beaten Atletico Madrid every season to an unbearable level.
To be honest, this kind of wins every year with big scores is unbelievable.
Some people even ridiculed that this is the initiative of Atletico Madrid to give Barcelona points, the purpose is to hope that Barcelona can kill Real Madrid to win!
But looking at the whole world, like the loss of Atletico Madrid, it is a strange thing, and it has set a Guinness World Record!
"I heard that that guy bought Atletico Madrid, so he appeared in Camp Nou!"
Gerald Pi looked at Puyol with a smile, raised his brows, and said eagerly.
"This is our territory, so I have to give him some color to see, what do you think?"
Since Ibrahimović switched to Southampton, the grievances between Pique and the Saints have ended.
Later, because of the sponsorship of Nike and Adidas, Pique was severely slapped in the face by Yang Huan on WeChat. As a result, the rich and handsome Barcelona could not stand it and vowed to take revenge.
But who would have thought that in the International Champions Cup, he was devastated by the two big beasts of Southampton.
Well now, I met the soft persimmon Atletico Madrid, the new hatred and the old hatred together!
Puyol turned around and grinned at his little friend, "Okay, **** them!"
"Hey, let them go back to Madrid and roll the sheets!" Gerald Pique was also excited.
The conversation between the two activists in the team immediately reached the ears of the teammates who walked out of the locker room, and they immediately came up to understand the situation.
When I heard that this was the case, the players in the Barcelona team were all excited.
Is there anything more to be happy about than ravaging opponents and pleasing fans?
Besides, in the current La Liga standings, Barcelona ranks first, but Atletico Madrid ranks second with the same points, second only to Barcelona. If it hadn’t been for the past few years, Atletico Madrid had always given Barcelona points. It should be a battle for the top of the list!
But now, the whole world feels that Barcelona's three-pointer is secured!
In the not-so-wide player passage, the Barcelona players laughed and walked down the stairs and walked behind the coach.
In this game, Vilanova still had a four-three-three formation.
The goalkeeper is Valdes, the defenses are Alba, Puyol, Pique and Alves, the midfielders are still Iron Triangle Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi, and the trident is Peder. The combination of Luo, Messi and Sanchez.
The referee of this game is the 45-year-old Spanish international referee, Michel Perez.
The image of the referee is very good, especially when he laughs, he looks very kind.
Looking at the time, it's almost time, but why hasn't Atletico Madrid arrived yet?
Just as the referee and the referee team were discussing whether or not to rush again, there was a running sound from the top of the ladder of the player passage, and soon everyone up and down at Atletico Madrid rushed down quickly.
"Let's go out!"
Miguel Perez held the ball, gave an order, took the lead and walked out.
The Barcelona players glanced at the Atletico Madrid players with a relaxed look and didn't realize that there was any problem, and even many people couldn't help but laugh.
That's it!
Playing us in Barcelona, which team’s head coach was not ordered by a thousand jingle bells?
After all, where is the power gap!
But wait until the players of the two teams walked out of the player channel and lined up in front of the podium, including the coach's bench of the home team, including the fans on the chairman's stand, and even TV commentators noticed something wrong.
"Mandzukic didn't play this game!"
"Mario Suarez is back in the starting lineup, and Raúl Garcia, my goodness, what lineup does Atletico Madrid have in this game?"
As soon as the competition squad was obtained and announced, many people were surprised.
Goalkeeper Courtois, defense line Felipe, Godin, Miranda and Juan Fran, this is the standard of Atletico Madrid.
But the midfielder was surprising.
Gabi, Ilya Ramendi, Mario Suarez and Raul Garcia all appeared in the starting lineup!
This is the configuration to play four midfielders?
On the forward line, Mandzukic did not make it, but Diego Costa and Tevez appeared on the starting list.
At first glance, this is the four-four-two configuration!
Could it be that Simeone intends to play four or two?
Also, such a set of midfield configuration looks like a posture that must be guarded strictly, can it work?
The live TV footage gave Vilanova a big close-up in front of the coach's bench. The thin-looking Barcelona coach also frowned, apparently thinking about Simeone's ideas.
But Simeone in front of the visiting team's coaching bench clasped his arms and looked at the stadium playfully.
"What are you guys playing?"
In the chairman's stand of the Camp Nou, Russell had a funny expression and spread his hands, very helpless.
"Do you want to put on an iron barrel formation? This is not your style at all, Mr. Yang Huan!"
The whole world knows that Young Master Huan pursues offensive football, and Southampton’s offense is also world-famous.
But now, Atletico Madrid has put out such a lineup, which is very mismatched!
Yang Huan shook his head and smiled: "I don't know how Simeone lined up his troops. That's his business. I'm only responsible for seeing the results!"
"The result?" Roselle smiled happierly.
"Mr. Yang Huan, don't you know that in the past few years, Atletico Madrid has lost the worst game in every season at our Camp Nou?"
"I know!" Yang Huan smiled.
"But I don't believe there are so-called magic spells, or even saying that the game is against the wind is nonsense in my opinion, so I believe that Simeone still has a chance!"
"Really?" Roselle smiled and shook his head.
He now has a lot of cooperation with Yang Huan, but in his bones, he still has a grudge against Yang Huan.
Especially the transfer of Ibrahimovic!
That was a shame he couldn't get rid of in his whole life!
Therefore, he is also happy to see Yang Huan encounter Waterloo at the Nou Camp!
"Wait and see!" Yang Huan looked at the stadium and said confidently.
"Our players will give you a clear understanding of what a real tiger and wolf teacher is!"
The game on the Nou Camp is soon ready to go!
In the crowded bleachers, there was constant noise. Barcelona fans have sang the team anthem and are in support of their team.
As long as this game wins Atletico Madrid, then Barcelo will be firmly in the top position!
With a whistle from the referee, the away game Atletico Madrid took the lead in teeing off.
Tevez suddenly jumped to the right. After receiving a pass from Mario Suarez, he faced Alba and tried to break through the bottom pass, but Alba’s defense was in place and Tevez failed to create a threat. A pass was made and Pique robbed him of Diego Costa before heading for a clearance.
Barcelona quickly fought back, but was cleared from the sideline by Atlético Madrid, forming a throw-in.
"We can see that Atletico Madrid's return to defense is very fast. Not only did the back line quickly return to the defense zone, but the four midfielders also returned. Even Tevez, who just made the bottom pass, was the first. Time retreated to our own half."
"It can be seen that Simeone's game is still mainly defensive."
"But the defense is very innovative, the overall formation is very open, making full use of the four defensive players, four midfielders, and Tevez and Diego Costa, who are actively retreating, to form easily. In a ten-man defensive situation, stick to the area from the 30-meter area to the center line!"
"Barcelona fell back in the backcourt, but Atletico Madrid didn't press it tightly. It passed to the right and handed to Pedro."
"Juan Fran grabbed it for the first time!"
"We have noticed that Atletico Madrid has at least two players, Mario Suarez and Ilya Ramendi, both approaching Pedro. They don't want to grab the ball urgently, but just force Barcelona to pass back. "
Pedro, Alba and Iniesta tried to cooperate, but after failing to create an opportunity, they had to return to the backcourt.
Atletico Madrid did not press any more, allowing Barcelona to control the ball and fall in the backcourt.
Soon, the ball went to the right again and was given to Sanchez's feet.
But just like before, Atletico Madrid's left-back Felipe grabbed for the first time, and after entangled Sanchez, Raúl García and Gaby also surrounded him for the first time to form an encirclement.
Sanchez did nothing. After passing the ball to Elvis, he then passed Harvey. Harvey got rid of Gabi, dribbled to his own half and was forced to pass back to the defense line to Puyol and Pique.
"We noticed that the formation of Atletico Madrid is flat, the distance between the three lines is very small, and the echoes and cooperation between the players appear to be very orderly."
"Simeone's attitude is to give up possession and focus on defense!"
The ball returned to halftime, and Pique saw that the frontcourt couldn't open the situation and chose a big foot to pass forward.
But the ball arrived in the frontcourt and was immediately re-topped by the Atletico Madrid defender Although the ball was held by Xavi and Messi in the midfield by their personal ability, they did not have two or three kicks and returned. To the back line of defense.
At this moment, Yang Huan in the stands laughed.
Simeone's trick is really sinister and cunning!
This is the Camp Nou stadium, Barcelona is ambitious to win, the mentality is definitely more positive.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid, it doesn't matter if I give up possession of the ball. As long as I defend it, the big deal is that we have zero-to-zero. Anyway, I have failed miserably in the past few years. This year, it is completely acceptable to keep a zero-to-zero!
But a zero to zero score, Barcelona can't accept it!
First of all, in terms of mentality, Atletico Madrid will be much more relaxed.
But when everyone thought that Simeone was going to hold onto the situation, the cunning Argentine couldn't help showing his **** fangs in the end!
