Super Marshal

January 19, 2003, Madrid derby.

On this day, even the air in Madrid became tense.

In the afternoon, the whole city was filled with a thick, almost suffocating smell of gunpowder.

On the street, everyone came and went nervously, which is rare in Madrid, which is known for its lazy on weekdays.

According to the data given by the La Liga Professional League, this game attracted a total of more than a thousand media reporters from all over the world. The total value of the two teams exceeded 350 million euros, which can be called the most expensive in the world. One of the pinnacle duels.

This game attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

In the end, is the star-studded Galaxy battleship with the most luxurious lineup in history, avenging its shame at its own home court and repelling the invading rivals, or the invincible Atlético de Madrid once again restraining their rivals in the same city and continuing the winning streak?

This became the suspense that everyone was guessing before the game.

This tense and confrontational atmosphere not only infected everyone in the city, but also inevitably affected the management of the two teams.

Spanish National TV One reported in real time that during the routine dinner before the game, Real Madrid Chairman Florentino led the management team to receive Atletico Madrid Vice President Cerezo and General Manager Xiao Hill and others, but the atmosphere of the dinner was very good. Embarrassment, obviously deeply affected by the atmosphere of the game.

But before the game, another accident happened.

The Bernabeu Stadium, which can accommodate 76,000 fans, turned away 2,000 Atletico Madrid fans.

This made the fans of the Sheets very angry, and the scene became chaotic for a while. Fortunately, the police maintained order at the scene, and there was no disturbance at all. It was just that the behavior of the Bernabéu stadium made the fans of the Sheets very dissatisfied, and they did not leave because they could not enter. Go, but blocked outside the Bernabéu stadium, cheering for his team.

When the players of the two teams arrived at the Bernabéu Stadium, the entire stand was already full of people, and there were no empty seats.

Although Real Madrid has been defeated by rivals in the same city many times in the past year or so, their fans still choose to come to the scene to support their team.

Moreover, this scene is obviously different from the previous one.

"We have Ronaldo!"

"Kill Atletico Madrid!"

"Ronnie will give you a taste of the Bernabéu!"

...

The stands were dotted with banners, and the fans held up signs full of slogans, but the most terrifying thing was the vast white ocean, which was very shocking.

White is jerseys, 76,000 pieces; black is human heads, 76,000 pieces.

This also shows the determination of the Bernabéu fans, shame!

…………

…………

Florentino, as usual, entered the VIP room of the Bernabéu Stadium on time at eight o'clock.

As long as he appears in public, he is always dressed in a neat suit, with a kind smile, relaxed and comfortable reception of VIP fans from all over the world, as well as Spanish political and business celebrities.

Every game at the Bernabéu is not just a football game.

In the past, when these people met Florentino at this time, they would jokingly ask: How many goals do you plan to win tonight?

Even when it rises occasionally, everyone will play a hand.

But I don’t know which derby started. When they met Atletico Madrid, they always asked with a serious face: Can they win tonight?

Florentino didn't like the skeptical tone they had when they asked, and he didn't like the serious expression on their faces, as if they had just returned from the battlefield.

He likes self-confidence, calmness, elegance, and calmness.

He still kept a polite smile, suppressing all the unhappiness in his heart.

After walking around the VIP room and returning to his seat, he made sure that no one was paying attention, so he withdrew his smile and replaced it with a serious face. that person.

Alpine!

It was this person who brought Atletico Madrid, which had already sunk into hell, to the ranks of today's top European teams, and trained a group of outstanding stars for the Sheets.

Since he came out, he's been like a nightmare for Real Madrid, oh no, for all Spanish teams.

No one knows how he did it, but he has been winning with Atletico Madrid...

Will he be dug to the Bernabeu?

This idea really moved Florentino.

It's as if Chairman Mendoza will snipe Valdano and Redondo, the champions of Real Madrid, for two consecutive seasons, and dig from Tenerife to the Bernabeu.

But he felt that it was not yet time.

Because he can't guarantee that the fans of the Bernabeu and the superstars of Real Madrid can accept such a head coach, so he is still waiting.

But tonight...

Florentino looked at Bosque in front of the coach of the home team again, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"The game is about to start, and we see that the two teams have already set their positions."

"Real Madrid's starting lineup is still in a four-two-three formation."

"The goalkeeper is Iker Casillas, the defense is Roberto Carlos, Hierro, El Guerra and Salgado, the double midfielders are Flavio and Makelele, and the front three attackers are Zidane, Raúl and Figo, with Ronaldo as the lone striker."

"This set of lineup can be said to be the most prosperous super lineup in today's football, gathering several top-ranked superstars at that time."

"Atlético Madrid is also sending out their main players to play, and they still play in a four-three-one-two formation."

"The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Jankulovski, Carvalho, Marchena and Dario Srna, and the three midfielders are Deco, Xavi Alonso and Marcos. Senna, with Kaka in the forward position, and Villa and Torres in the double striker."

"At the press conference before the game, Atletico Madrid coach Gao Han said that the most threatening player in Real Madrid is Zidane, but he firmly believes that Marcos Senna will completely freeze Zidane, and Madrid Atlético's midfield will also completely overwhelm Real Madrid."

"At the same time, he also said that although it is an away game, the Sheets will continue to hold high the banner of offensive football!"

"Before the game, many professionals also believed that the biggest test for Real Madrid in this game will be in the defense. How to freeze Atletico Madrid's trident will become Real Madrid's biggest test."

"Real Madrid coach Del Bosque said before the game that a team like Atletico Madrid will be impenetrable if they defend, and they will be invincible if they attack. This is the highest evaluation that Del Bosque can give to an opponent .”

...

"Okay, the game has started."

"We saw that Atletico Madrid served first."

"Pass to the backcourt, Carvalho takes the ball, Real Madrid can't press tight, then pass it to Kaka, with a straight kick..."

"Nice through ball, passed behind..."

"Offside!"

"The linesman raised the flag without hesitation, indicating that it was an offside."

"Torres started very fast, had already caught up with the ball, formed a single pole, but fell into an offside trap."

"The fans at the Bernabéu Stadium were also taken aback. No one expected that Atlético Madrid would make a head start at the very beginning. Fortunately, Real Madrid's defense was very focused."

...

"After the start, it was basically Atletico Madrid who dominated the game and possession of the ball was at the feet of Atletico Madrid."

"Facing their rivals in the same city, Real Madrid seems to lack confidence."

"But it may also be Real Madrid's game strategy. First stabilize the defense and then look for opportunities to counterattack. This is also the main tactic when Del Bosque led the team to win the Champions League."

"It's been five minutes and Real Madrid are very passive."

"Atlético Madrid fought fiercely and the rhythm was very fast..."

"Okay, foul, Zidane was brought down by Marcos Senna and Real Madrid won a set-piece."

"About 30 meters from the goal, Roberto Carlos came to take the penalty."

"Oops, high penalty, Carlos looks frustrated."

"It was Real Madrid's first shot since the opening game, but it was a little far from the goal."

"Relatively, Atlético have had two shots, and both were in the box."

...

"Okay, pass to the left and give it to Villa."

"Villa took the ball and forcibly broke through Salgado, it's over!"

"foul!"

"Salgado brought down Villa and gave Atlético a very dangerous set-piece up front."

"Javi Alonso takes the penalty, passes it into the box, heads it in..."

"At the critical moment, Casillas flew to save and blocked Marchena's header."

"Too dangerous!"

...

"Atletico Madrid still maintains the initiative on the field. Although Real Madrid has a large number of stars and is playing at home, they seem to have no way to deal with the Sheets. The defense is also full of loopholes. This is not a good sign."

"Carlos stopped the ball and Torres passed it to Kaka."

"Kaka broke through with the ball in the middle, very fast, straight into the penalty area, there is a chance, Villa..."

"Oh, Villa, I didn't hit the right position and missed a great opportunity!"

"He looked more frustrated than anyone else and it was the best chance to score since the start."

"It seems that Villa's feet are not very smooth tonight. If this shot is normal, he will definitely score a goal, but tonight he seems to be eager to make a contribution and misses a bit."

"It can be seen that the game has an impact not only on the players of Real Madrid, but also on Atletico Madrid."

...

"Dario Srna continued to press very high, which is also an adjustment after Gao Han's opening."

"Marcos Senna Zidane's defense is very good, and Dario Srna boldly plugs in the attack, which has the advantage of suppressing the threat of Carlos' attack on the left side of Real Madrid."

"Okay, Srna took the ball from the right, raised the ball high, and passed it to the front of the penalty area."

"Torres headed the ball, Kaka got the ball, Elguera defended."

"Kaka used his speed to break through forcefully, it's over, good opportunity, pass to the left!"

"Villa and Salgado scramble for the ball, head back to the center..."

"Torres!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Torres! Torres!!! Torres!!!"

"In the fourteenth minute, the opening fourteen minutes, Atletico Madrid's initiative finally scored a goal!"

"Torres was very active after the opening. His push in front of the goal opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid!"

"Let's look at the whole scoring process again. Torres was still heading the ball outside the penalty area just now. At this moment, I saw Kiko's shadow from him, but he turned around and went to the goal quickly, and finally captured the scoring opportunity. !"

"fantastic!"

"Torres broke the deadlock!"
