Chapter 297 The Opponent

The game time is approaching gradually!

On the day of the game, there was a raging crowd in the Intair Arena.

Atletico Madrid fans wore their red and white striped shirts, and the fans of the Linen Legion waved flags and walked towards the final stadium in droves.

There are also a lot of Luton fans on the other side. They wore their home jerseys and came to the stadium from all directions.

But this game I am afraid that Luton fans will be weak in the number of stadiums.

This is not because Atletico Madrid has more fans than Luton-mainly because Luton humiliated Hamburg 5-0 at this stadium more than ten days ago. This makes the local fans have no good impressions of Luton. .

There are a total of 50,000 in the Intair Arena. The two clubs each got 18,000 tickets, and 6,000 of the remaining 16,000 tickets were distributed to major sponsors. The 10,000 tickets are for the neutral zone. The local fans in Hamburg are the biggest purchasers of these 10,000 tickets.

Therefore, I am afraid that most of the fans in the neutral zone of this game are also hostile to Luton.

But Luton’s players don’t care about this. They only beat their opponents in this stadium ten days ago. At that time, more than 90% of the fans here were their opponents. A big victory, now they have at least 18,000 of their fans coming in to support themselves, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The Intair Arena was quickly packed, and the confrontation between the two sides began with the fans.

The Spanish and the English clamored for each other in the stands, which made the local security department very nervous.

English football hooligans are world-famous, but Spanish fans are not good guys.

Football is a male sport full of hormones. Fans of both sides fight each other and so on. Too many things happen on the football field.

Fortunately, Atletico Madrid and Luton do not have any historical grievances. The two sides yelled at each other, but at last they were separated by the guardrail of the stands, and no one just jumped over to do it.

Players from both sides soon came to the stadium to warm up. At this time, the attention of the fans was not on the other side.

The fans of both teams cheered towards their own team!

This season's Europa League finals will soon begin in this stadium!

........

Flores got Luton's starting list.

When he saw that the names on the list did not differ from what he predicted, the Spanish coach gave a scornful smile.

Compared with Atletico Madrid, Luton's biggest weakness is their bench!

Atletico Madrid are La Liga giants anyway, even if they have sunk a lot in recent years, they still have the background of giants.

At least on the bench, the quality of Atletico Madrid's players is more than one grade higher than that of Luton's bench!

So Flores also knows that Gao Bo does not have much room for adjustment on the starting list-his strongest players are these eleven.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel!

Right back Mitchell Piran, left back Aless Sandro, center back combination veteran Sol Campbell partnered with Jeffrey.

The three midfielders Kevin Keane, Kanter, and Drinkwater.

The three in the front court are Griezmann, Vardy and Adam White!

This starting lineup is the most commonly used starter for Luton this season.

In another locker room, Gao Bo was also frowning at Atletico Madrid's starting list.

The starting goalkeeper of this game is De Gea!

This season's Atletico Madrid has been a bit swaying in the goalkeeper position. Judging from the number of appearances of De Gea and Asenjo, De Gea has played 17 times this season and Asenjo 21 times this season!

From this number of appearances, it can be seen that the Atletico Madrid team is swinging between the two young goalkeepers De Gea and Asenjo.

Gao Bo drew a circle on the goalkeeper's position, this is where Luton can use it.

As for the central defender combination, the central defender combination of Atletico Madrid in this game is Juan Gutierrez Juanito and veteran Luis Perea.

Luis Perea has only recently returned from injury and caught up with the Europa League final. In fact, Atletico Madrid’s real strongest central defender should be Colombia’s central defender Luis Perea and another three. The combination of twelve-year-old Czech veteran Thomas Ujfalusi!

However, these two veterans have stopped injuries this season, and Perez has often returned from injury, and Ujfalusi has been injured again. This has led to the constant swing of Atletico Madrid in the centre-back combination!

So even though Atletico Madrid has two super strikers, Diego Fran is the second-ranked shooter in La Liga, and Aguero is also ranked third in the La Liga scorer list, but Atletico Madrid, who has these two super shooters in the top scorer list In the end they could only be ranked eighth in the league-this and their back line can not be dry cleaned, Atletico Madrid has conceded too many goals this season!

Too many goals have also led to Atletico Madrid this season has been trying to adjust the position of the goalkeeper and central defender.

De Gea and Asenjo switched, but the young goalkeeper is always not so stable, and then the two veterans of the central defender can't work together for a long time, so that the defense always has problems.

Gao Bo drew a circle on Juanito, which is also Luton's focus!

Left back Antonio Lopez, this is the youth player of Atletico Madrid, and is currently Spain's main international player! With his outstanding performance in the league, he replaced the original Spanish left-back Del Horno as the main force of the national team.

Being able to become the regular main force of a strong team like Spain, the strength of Antonio Lopez is undoubtedly, as the team’s youth training product, now Antonio Lopez has also replaced the former captain Maxi who left the winter window to become a member of the Sheet Army. team leader!

The right back is Pablo Iniesta, who originally played as a central defender, to play as a right back.

The midfielder is a combination of Paul Assunsan and Jos Jurado.

Paulo Asuncion is a Brazilian defensive midfielder, while Jurado is a skilled Spanish midfielder and the commander of Atletico Madrid.

On both sides, Reyes on the left and Simao on the right!

These are two names!

Compared with the midfield, the two quick assaults on the wing are the most important attacking method for Atletico Madrid!

Needless to say, the forward line naturally.

Diego Fran partnered with Aguero!

Such a striker configuration is luxurious!

Gao Bo looked at Atletico Madrid's frontcourt configuration is drooling, and for the combination of Flores' midfielder, Gao Bo is scornful!

Compared to Jurado and Asuncion, Gao Bo appreciates the other two players on the Atletico Madrid bench who can play central midfielders.

Raul Garcia and Cardoso Tiago!

Raul Garcia's style is sturdy, but his feet are also delicate. He was still the absolute main force of Atletico Madrid last season, but after Flores came, Garcia's chances of playing were significantly less. This season Raul Garcia has only started 12 times, compared with the previous one. With the season's full attendance record, Raul Garcia was instantly beaten into the cold.

This is mainly because Flores doesn't like Raúl Garcia's playing style. He prefers the Spanish midfielder Jurado, who is called delicate and elegant.

Flores came to Atletico Madrid under the banner of "returning to Spanish tradition" at Atletico Madrid, so he naturally prefers to use Jurado in midfield instead of Raul Garcia.

Cardoso Tiago was also abandoned by Flores for the same reason Cardoso's style is unpretentious, and he is often referred to as the "abandoned one" on the court. He is steady and simple. His style of playing makes him incompatible with the Spanish midfield combination that Flores admires.

If the combination in the midfield of this game is Raul Garcia and Cardoso Tiago, Gao Bo will not dare to pay attention to the opponent's midfield.

But since it's Jurado and Asuncion... then Atletico Madrid is about to suffer a bit.

...

The warm-ups of the players on the court gradually ended, and the stands gradually became quiet.

The fans are waiting for the breakout moment!

It's like the peace before the storm.

Everyone is waiting for the moment when players from the two teams reappear on the court!

At that time, the atmosphere of the stadium may shake the entire city! ()
