Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 161 The first ball, the beginning of the 17-year-old (second update on the weekend!)

The warm-up match between Atletico Madrid and Brighton kicked off on the afternoon of August [-]th local time. Simeone did not arrange training that day according to everyone's physical condition, focusing on the players' own physical adjustments.Except for Wen Zhihao who was assigned to be a small cook.

"Professor, how is his condition?" Simeone didn't stay with his two assistants during breakfast, but sat alone at the table with Mendez. He just wanted to know Wen Zhihao's extra training situation as soon as possible.

Mendez gave Simeone a fixed look, and said seriously, "Diego, from my professional point of view, your standards are too cruel for him. Wen is still at the age of physical development, you are really cruel, and you are not afraid of training him down."

Simeone said with a stern smile: "Compared with the potential injury hazards he may bring due to his physical disadvantage, I think this risk is worth taking. If he can't break through this bottleneck, his upper limit will always be limited. Besides, didn't you help me check it out? I have 100% trust in your professionalism."

"But this kid is really special. He is already close to the limit. I stimulated him a little bit, and immediately burst out with another burst of strength. His body is like an independent energy storage space, which seems to have no limit." Mendez's tone was full of surprise and curiosity.

"How much can he accomplish now?"

"Less than one-third," Meynders said.

Simeone is quite satisfied with the result: "It's better than I imagined. After all, his foundation in this area is relatively weak. We will try to make him change in one season. Professor, please worry about Wen."

Mendes nodded, then narrowed his eyes and smiled: "If Wen can really pass this test, I'm looking forward to what level he will become..."

On the other side, Wen Zhihao seemed to have just escaped from the hell mode, his eyes were a little blurred, he leaned on the dining table, he didn't even have the desire to speak.

"Hey, Wen, what's the matter? Are you sick?" Gameiro came over and asked concerned.

Kirk also came over and asked, "I didn't see you when I got up this morning, Wen, where have you been?"

Teammates who were close turned their heads to one side, and people like Thomas and Gabi had a bit of a naughty smile, obviously thinking of some special experiences.

Wen Zhihao immediately confides his experiences and successfully wins everyone's sympathy.

As long as you play under Simeone, especially the young players, who hasn't been similarly "abused"?Even Griezmann on the side resonated in his heart at this moment. He thought of the days when he first came to Atletico Madrid.

However, everyone realized one thing at the same time afterward. Just now Wen Zhihao seemed to have mentioned that today is his birthday...

Everyone knows what to do in the afternoon game.

……

Atletico Madrid's newly promoted Premier League team Brighton is an inspirational small team.At the beginning of this century, he also played in the fourth tier of England's league, and failed in the promotion play-offs of the British Championship many times.Last season, under the leadership of head coach Chris Hughton, they directly entered the Premier League three rounds ahead of schedule, creating the history of the team.

There are no big-name players in the Brighton team, and Australian international Matthew Ryan is the only player with a current international background.

The strength gap between the two teams is very obvious, and Simeone has also made a certain rotation of personnel.Wen Zhihao, who played well in the Audi Cup final, served as a substitute, and Griezmann returned to the starting lineup.

However, the game was not as smooth as Simeone expected. Atletico Madrid was indeed superior in ability and created many opportunities to score goals, but Matthew Ryan's performance was equally stable, turning danger into invisible again and again.Brighton's investment on the field is significantly better than Atletico Madrid.

It wasn't until the No. 401 minute that Ryan's own butter hand gift gave Atletico Madrid a one-goal lead.

However, in the No. 60 minute of the game, Brighton player Gross' set-piece hit Juanfran and refracted into the net, and the score was tied 1:1.

After 6 minutes, Juanfran made up for it and assisted Torres to overtake the score again.

But No. 706 minutes, Brighton equalized the score for the second time.

Leading twice and being equalized twice, this is a situation that Simeone did not expect. He was so stumbled when facing the newly promoted, and Simeone was not satisfied with the performance of the players on the field.

In the 80th minute, Wen Zhihao received Simeone's order to come off the bench, replacing Koke and replacing the midfielder with a shadow forward. Simeone put up a combination of "Griezmann + Wen Zhihao + Torres" in the frontcourt.He not only wants to win the game, but also hopes to stimulate the fighting desire of the players on the field in this way.

Wen Zhihao, Griezmann and Torres are all players who are good at running in offense. Simeone's substitution quickly received results.

No.807 minutes, Griezmann's low shot from the penalty area line was blocked by Ryan with one hand near the penalty spot. Wen Zhihao happened to be swimming in this area, how could he miss the opportunity to send it to the goal.The right foot took advantage of the opportunity to shoot into the far corner.

Wen Zhihao was very excited when he scored with a supplementary shot. This was not only his first goal in Atletico Madrid.Today is his 17th birthday.

Ushering in your 17th birthday with a franchise ball, is there a better birthday gift than this?
"The No. 15 player Wen from Atletico Madrid's goal! He sent a key assist in the last game, and scored the winning goal in this game. This young Chinese is proving step by step that he has the ability to gain a foothold in Madrid!" Spanish commentator Garcia spit out words of praise.A few days ago, Wen Zhihao was still questioning the performance of this signing, but he selectively forgot.

Surrounded by his teammates, Wen Zhihao ran to the sidelines and gestured for "17". Garcia didn't know much about Wen Zhihao, but He Wei, a CCTV commentator who knew Wen Zhihao's basic information by heart, understood it in seconds, and said passionately: "Today is a double blessing for Wen Zhihao. This Atletico Madrid's first goal is the best gift for him on his 17th birthday!"

As He Wei explained, fans of Wen Zhihao's post bar in China had piled up to hundreds of floors, full of all kinds of birthday wishes.Of course, there are also comments like "Zhihao, I want to give birth to you a monkey", "Is the idol short of a girlfriend?", "Husband kisses and hugs", it seems that the nympho of girl fans has committed again.

Teammates gathered around one after another, wishing Wen Zhihao a happy birthday with this goal.Wen Zhihao stretched out his hand to Griezmann and said, "You should have half of the credit, otherwise I wouldn't have scored this goal. Thank you for your shot."

Griezmann did not expect Wen Zhihao to do this. He paused for a few seconds before reaching out his hand to respond: "You are the real hero. Happy birthday. It was my fault that I treated you like that before. I hope you don't mind."

"That? What? Why can't I remember? It's good to win, haha!"

Wen Zhihao's words sent a signal of goodwill.People are often just a feeling. At this moment, Griezmann realized that Wen Zhihao only wanted to help the team, and his previous thoughts were a bit like a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's belly.

It seems that I am used to playing the main force and have forgotten the feeling of competition.Griezmann began to feel that it was a good thing to have Wen Zhihao as an opponent, because he could be his own mirror and keep himself in a sense of crisis at all times.

With a few words, the gap between the two disappeared.

Simeone is very happy. These few minutes have proved that Wen Zhihao and Griezmann can coexist on the court. In the dilemma that requires a strong attack, this is an important secret weapon for him.
