Super Marshal

The San Mamés Stadium is one of the most terrifying devil's stadiums in La Liga.

Although Athletic Bilbao's performance this season is not very satisfactory, they have an astonishing record at home and a high winning percentage. The current top-ranked teams in La Liga have not been able to get the slightest benefit here.

Since Heynckes took charge of Athletic Bilbao, the results have been steadily in the upper middle of La Liga, and occasionally performed in the cup, but in general, the situation is stable, which is also the same as the Basque region. about team traditions.

Athletic Bilbao is not like other professional teams, which can sign up a lot. This team only uses Basque players.

Such a tradition can be called a wonderful thing in European professional football.

Also because of such restrictions, coupled with the unsatisfactory youth training output of Athletic Bilbao in recent years, the team's overall competition is weak, but under the training of Heynckes, the results are still relatively stable, so the management The layer is also very satisfied with him.

The only dissatisfaction is that this old German man speaks a bit bluntly and is easily misinterpreted by the media.

For example, before playing Atletico Madrid, he praised the sheet team's style of play, and even said that he intends to learn and learn from Atletico Madrid's style of play this season, but there are some gaps in the players, which led to many detours in the first half.

As a result, this caused him to be criticized by the media and fans, and he had to come forward to clarify publicly.

But in the game, the Basque Lions trained by the old German man were not ambiguous at all.

Strong integrity, fast-paced offense and defense, high-intensity pressing and pressing...

With such a style of play, even Atletico Madrid was quite a headache, and it was difficult to organize an effective offensive throughout the first half.

However, the advantage of the Sheets Corps in terms of strength allowed the team to firmly control the situation.

In the second half, Athletic Bilbao wanted to charge at the beginning, but was quickly suppressed by Atletico Madrid.

As the game progressed, physical energy was gradually consumed, and Athletic Bilbao gradually weakened from the original lion to a sick cat.

In the 83rd minute, Baptista scored the winning goal for Atletico Madrid with a furious shot from the back.

In the end, 1-0, Atletico Madrid took away a victory from the San Mames Stadium.

This is also the first time Athletic Bilbao have lost at home to a team ranked higher than themselves so far this season.

After losing the game, the German old man seemed very unwilling. He kept saying that it was a non-war crime, desperately dragged Gao Han to drink, and kept talking about Gao Han being drunk by Ferguson at Old Trafford.

There is a feeling of losing on the court and recovering off the court.

Gao Han was depressed, and blamed the damned British tabloid for publishing this embarrassing incident...

Retired from the San Mames Stadium, Atletico Madrid returned to Mahada Nda to concentrate on preparing for the midweek Champions League.

In fact, from the game against Athletic Bilbao, everyone can basically determine Gao Han's formation in the middle of the week, especially Simeone.

Playing Athletic Bilbao, the Argentine veteran played the whole game.

So, without a doubt, Marcos Senna starts.

But, can he withstand the powerful impact of Juventus?

…………

…………

April 8, night, Calderon Stadium.

Marcos Senna stood on the field panting like a cow, bent over, lowered his head, beads of sweat slipped from his dark face one by one, and dripped into the turf under his feet.

Moisturized lips dry mouth, but found little effect.

Gotta get a chance to drink some water, he thought.

In this game, Atletico Madrid made enough preparations. Jankulovski and Deco on the left teamed up to completely freeze Camoranesi. The Argentine performed poorly in this game and his head was already hot I fell into a vicious circle where the more you dribble the ball, the more you lose, and the more you lose, the more you lose.

Therefore, Juventus began to adjust the direction of attack, focusing on the left.

That's the side where Marcos Senna and Roberto are.

Nedved, Zambrotta and Davis, these three players have one characteristic in common, that is, they can run.

I just watched TV and watched videos before, and I didn’t have any strong feelings, but when I got to the court, Marcos Senna was surprised to find that these three guys were so fucking good at running.

Needless to say, Nedved, the left and center areas are his most active areas. He ran non-stop throughout the game, and he ran at a fast speed, as if he had endless physical strength.

Zambrotta has partnered with Nedved for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding. He frequently presses up and is very bold. Moreover, he is right-footed. Once he is given a chance in the frontcourt, it is quite threatening to cut inside. Long shot.

And Davies, this little Dutchman is the most difficult to deal with, as a deep midfielder, but you never know when he will suddenly come in, fast, fine with his feet, and the most terrible thing is, He is also very clingy, he will fight back when he loses the ball, and there are so many tricks, it's really terrible!

In addition to these three guys, Juventus also has a very threatening striker, Del Piero.

This guy is also most used to activities on the left side, and there is a Piero area...

Go fuck it!

Marcos Senna wiped his face vigorously, his hands were covered with sweat, and cursed angrily in his heart.

He really found that the further back the Champions League, the stronger and more difficult the opponents he encountered would be.

If it is said that Giggs used to rely on Giggs to fight alone on the left side of Manchester United, then Juventus is now a set of combination punches, with various means emerging in an endless stream, which is hard to defend against.

He raised his head and looked at the scoreboard on the sidelines. He found that the game had just passed forty minutes and the score was still zero to zero.

I wipe!

Marcos Senna cursed again.

Only forty minutes?

Why does it feel like playing the whole court?

If this goes on like this, how can the physical fitness be able to bear it?

...

"You kid is really lucky. You are so old, you are lucky to catch the last train, and you met a head coach like Gao Han. It is your luck to bring you out."

"What is the most important thing for a professional player? Strength?"

"No, let me tell you, it's luck, or career planning."

"Meeting the most suitable team and coach at the most appropriate time is the most important thing."

"So, you're lucky, but also unlucky."

"Are you almost twenty-seven years old? According to the career cycle of a professional player, you are only a few years old, and your current situation is very embarrassing. If you squeeze further, you can enter the European first-tier, but if you relax , It is also easy to fall back to the second line, or even worse, after a year or two, the team will send away, and what is left to the fans is only the flashes of the past two years."

"Do you know why, as your compatriot, Gilberto Silva is a first-line midfielder in Europe?"

"Because of his performance in the World Cup, all the media and fans will remember him!"

"And you, you need to prove your strength in front of the best opponents in the Champions League!"

"Unfortunately, you are already twenty-seven years old. There is not much time left for you, and it may even be just this season. If you miss it, you will never have a second chance in your life."

"When a professional player steps onto the football field, the most terrifying enemy is often not the opponent in front of him, but the one in his heart who always shouts to give up."

"Think about it yourself!"

...

This is what Simeone said to him the day before the game, after training, while showering in the dressing room.

In the past few days, the Argentine has always told him about Juventus, as well as some of his experience in Serie A games, and sometimes even combined with game videos for analysis.

It wasn't until the competition that he realized that these things really worked.

He also knew that he was lucky, really lucky.

It’s like his cousin Asuncao, who was the same age as him. The two played football together since they were young. They were better than him when they were in China. They played for Santos and Flamengo successively. Look, brought to Serie A.

This made Marcos Senna extremely envious.

He wants to play in Europe in his dreams, and he can't imagine Serie A. He only needs to be a professional league that can be named in Europe.

But the fate is so different, Assuncao went to Serie A, but he couldn't even play in Brazil.

Just when he began to doubt himself and wanted to give up, God opened a window for him.

Gao Han stretched out his hand to him from far away Spain.

Since then, everything has been completely different.

As Simeone said, he met a suitable team and a coach who understood him, so he became famous in Spain, and he began to perform better and better, and he quickly surpassed his class. Brother, has become the object of pride and envy of everyone in the family.

He succeeded!

But he has always remained in awe of the flowers and applause calmly and rationally, because he knows that as long as there is the slightest slack, all of these will go away from him.

He had tasted the pain of failure, so he couldn't accept that he failed again.

But now, he has two choices in front of him, either continue to climb up and climb to a higher mountain, but the road ahead is very rough and difficult, and he must suffer more and suffer more than before. Not necessarily rewarding.

Either stop here, try to maintain the state as much as possible, earn more money, and after a few years, return to the Brazilian domestic team to retire, and publish a few autobiographies after retirement, boasting about his magical journey in Atletico Madrid, and bursting out. The embarrassing stories of former superstar teammates.

Compared with the previous road, the back is much easier.

How to choose?

This is not only the entanglement in Marcos Senna's heart, but also the choices he faces on the court.

He is very tired, he feels that he has done his best, and he really wants to rest.

Otherwise, forget it like this?

Once this tempting thought arises, it is very difficult to refuse.

"Hey Marcos, don't let up, stay on your toes, you're the best, trust me, you're the best!"

Coach Gao Han's encouragement came from the sidelines, and he seemed a little anxious.

Juventus are really strong!

"Believe me, with me, you will become the best midfielder in Europe!"

This is what the head coach Gao Han said when he first came here to encourage him.

At first he was a little skeptical, the young coach was fooling him like a teenager, but later, he believed it.

Now, he still believes in his head coach!

No Alpine, no Marcos Senna!

"what!"

Marcos Senna shouted, raised his head, took a step, and rushed towards Nedved with the ball.

At this moment, he stared straight ahead with incomparable firmness.

He has nothing to fear!
