Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 162 Season preview (First update on Sunday!)

Although winning the game wasn't pretty, the teammates still cheered up for a while because of Wen Zhihao's birthday.Without candles and cakes, a few bottles of champagne can make young people fully release their passion.

Even Simeone, who usually trains with a serious face, joined everyone's carnival. Argentines have the gene of crazy indulgence, and Simeone is also a passionate coach. Wen Zhihao was quickly tricked by everyone, and Simeone personally sprayed Wen Zhihao with half a bottle of champagne.

However, Wen Zhihao didn't mind this feeling at all. Amidst the laughter of everyone, Wen Zhihao felt that his heart began to truly belong to this team.

After returning to Madrid, there was no training arranged for the next day, but Wen Zhihao still took the time to visit the Espino training center. Audi company sent the personal prizes of the Audi Cup champions to the club - the latest model of Audi a6.

Wen Zhihao laments that he is about to become a car owner. According to the standards of young people in China, this is already one of the standards of achievement.He couldn't help thinking that if he was shaken by the ticket and his mother's opposition, he gave up football and followed the growth trajectory of most of his peers. Now he should be fighting for the college entrance examination in high school. Whether he will enter university or enter the society in the future, and where the future lies, it is still completely unclear.

Wen Zhihao thought of a sentence that his father often said: 360 lines, every line will lead to the champion.The way that suits you is the best.Often you only need to take the right step, and you are destined to be different.

……

According to Atletico Madrid's next warm-up match plan, there will be two consecutive pre-season warm-up games with Leganes and Getafe. After the two games, there will be a week between the two games, and the team will usher in the first round of the new season.

Both opponents belong to the Madrid region, and they are both in the south, adjacent to each other. Atletico Madrid can be reached by bus on the morning of the game.

At the same time, La Liga officially released the first version of the registration list of 25 teams for the new season.According to La Liga's registration procedures, the number of first-team registrations does not exceed [-], so the next two warm-up matches will be Simeone's last chance to inspect and screen.

At the same time that La Liga officially released the news, various forward-looking predictions for the new La Liga season were freshly released.The media generally believe that the suspense of the championship is still between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As for Atletico Madrid, the general view is that it will have an impact on the two super giants, and may also play the role of champion judge, but it is not realistic to step on the two giants to force a counterattack.Although Atletico Madrid ranked third last season, they only scored 78 points, while Real Madrid scored 93 points and runner-up Barcelona also scored 90 points.It can be seen that there is still a gap in Atletico Madrid's hard power, especially in terms of signings, except for Wen Zhihao's transfer of tens of millions of euros, the others are all small things.As for how much improvement Wen Zhihao can bring to Atletico Madrid, 90.00% of the Spanish media do not believe it.

Not to mention whether he can adapt to a game rhythm that is completely different from that of the Eredivisie, it is hard to say how many opportunities Simeone can give him in the official league.One is because Wen Zhihao lacks La Liga experience, and the second reason is that the media who watched Wen Zhihao's performance in the Audi Cup pointed out that Wen Zhihao's strengths are very prominent, but his shortcomings are also obvious. Physical confrontation is his Achilles heel.Once the opponent uses a guard with good physical fitness and strong physical fitness to implement a full-court confrontational defense against him in the game, his performance will definitely be compromised.

After these views of the Spanish media were spread back to China, two different voices appeared on the Internet immediately.

The rationalists believe that Wen Zhihao should be treated with a normal mind.

"I think the media is very objective. In the previous Eredivisie season, he relied on his skills and speed, but this is La Liga. The opponent will give him so much space? Only by facing the problem squarely can he improve."

However, when the "warm fans" heard that their idol was being questioned, they were instantly unhappy and jumped out to fight back.

"Upstairs, I hate you for showing off your IQ the most. You know more about football than Simeone and the Atletico Madrid executives? If you are willing to spend more than 1000 million euros on Zhihao, Simeone will not see his value? The goals and assists in these two games are not enough to explain the problem?"

The person upstairs immediately replied: "Brother, do you watch the game? Can the warm-up match be compared with the official game? Not to mention the Champions League, the confrontation intensity of the mid-range teams in La Liga, now he can handle it. Thank God, not to mention, he can compete with Griezmann?"

This man was completely pessimistic about Wen Zhihao's prospects in Atletico Madrid, and immediately stimulated more Wen Zhihao's fans to join the group attack: "Fuck you! Chinese football is made like this by self-righteous and smart people like you. Can Zhihao do it, at least he is now better than those who are exporting to domestic sales. You are so awesome, you are on top!"

……

In Atletico Madrid's last two warm-up matches, Simeone hid most of the main players for the purpose of inspecting the players, and played these two games with substitutes and team b players.Against Getafe, Wen Zhihao filled the audience, and Atletico Madrid finally drew 0:0.In the second game against Leganes, Wen Zhihao played 13 minutes, instigated an offensive in the frontcourt and indirectly assisted Correa to score.Atletico Madrid also won a small 1-0 victory only with this goal.

Considering Simeone's strategy for these two games, the result looks acceptable, at least guaranteed unbeaten before the season.

However, one of the most familiar things that Real Madrid's mouthpiece media "Marca" has done in recent seasons is to pick bones from Atletico Madrid's performance to praise Real Madrid's strength.Even Atletico Madrid's undefeated record before the season, in the eyes of "Marca", is completely incomparable with the Galacticos.

But it must be admitted that from the interpretation of the data, this time I was really right.

Atletico Madrid's August is full of warm-up matches, while Real Madrid's August is the actual official game.In the UEFA Super Cup at the beginning of the month, Real Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-1, followed by the Spanish Super Cup, with a total score of 5-1 in the two rounds of Real Madrid's bloody rival Barcelona.Before the start of the new season, he has won two King of Kings trophies.

The season preview, to put it bluntly, is a platform for the media of each other to spit saliva on each other.

However, a large number of Chinese journalists stationed in Madrid don't care how to pinch each other. In their eyes, only Wen Zhihao's news is the most valuable.

For several days in a row, Wen Zhihao improved his strength under the guidance of "Professor" Meendez and left the training center very late. The reporters did not interview Wen Zhihao for a day or two, but they also had the spirit of perseverance. Finally, on the day approaching the weekend, the reporters who were squatting in the training center until the last moment stopped Wen Zhihao who had finished training early.

"Zhihao, it's the first time to be teammates with superstars, how is your integration now?"

Wen Zhihao said frankly: "It's very good! It's very harmonious with my teammates. Two days ago, my teammates specially celebrated my birthday. I took pictures with Torres, Gabi and others. Unfortunately, I didn't bring any photos today."

"My goal for the new season? My motivation to become a professional player is always to be the champion. The more money I have, the better, otherwise I wouldn't have come here!" Wen Zhihao looked at the young reporter wearing glasses, and secretly laughed that he might be a novice. This question is really not good enough.

There were still many local reporters around, a little displeased with Wen Zhihao's "arrogance", and countered harshly: "Where does your confidence come from? Because you have never played against a strong team?"

Wen Zhihao met him directly, and said with a calm face: "I think you may be a Real Madrid fan, but are you the Prophet? The game hasn't started yet, what's impossible? I'll give you a suggestion, hurry up and prepare some quick-acting heart-relief pills, otherwise I'm worried that the result will make your heart overwhelmed."

The Chinese reporters burst into laughter, the Wen Zhihao they were familiar with had always been so confident.

And this kind of self-confidence has almost never been seen among all the Chinese players who have studied abroad in the past.
