Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 236 The beginning of the war
At the final preparation moment before the start of the game, Simeone walked into the locker room last, closed the door, glanced at all the players who were preparing to play, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Wen!"

Everyone was startled, and Wen Zhihao quickly raised his head reflexively, and saw Simeone leaning on the door with his hands crossed over his chest, with a bad expression on his face.

Even Wen Zhihao himself didn't know what he did wrong to make Simeone unhappy. Could it be that he was playing cool on the court just now, and Simeone felt that he was not serious?
probably not.Relax moderately before the game, and Simeone himself has taught young players this secret that can promote their high-level performance more than once.

The teammates felt that they had encountered something new. Wen Zhihao, who had always been liked by Simeone, was probably going to be unlucky.

Wen Zhihao looked at Simeone in a daze, and just about to speak, Simeone suppressed his anger and heard his ears: "You are very sure to win Barcelona, ​​aren't you?"

Wen Zhihao was stunned for half a second, shaking his head like a rattle.At this time, the smart thing to do is to deny it, and nod in self-righteousness to admit that it is SB behavior.

Simeone then asked: "Then you can guarantee 100% goals, or blow up their midfielders and defenders?"

Wen Zhihao continued to shake his head, squeezed out a smile and said, "Boss, can you stop joking? That's Barcelona! I'm not so self-obsessed that I feel like I'm chopping melons and cutting vegetables against them just because I scored a goal-winning goal."

"Do you think I'm joking?" Simeone's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he shouted at Wen Zhihao: "Then your performance just now was just to show off your personal charm and play cool? Or do you think this game can be handled casually? Don't you think your performance will attract the opponent to pay more attention to defense and bring the team into a more passive situation?"

Wen Zhihao hesitated for a long time and didn't respond. He really didn't expect this level.

Simeone glanced at him, and then said: "Barcelona started Paulinho and Busquets with a double midfielder. You can count on your blessings. If you can play well in the defense of these two, I will pretend nothing happened."

Wen Zhihao knows that Simeone still has the second half, if he can't play at a normal level, or is completely frozen.After the game, Simeone will definitely not make him feel better.

A huge mountain-like pressure immediately weighed on Wen Zhihao's heart.One is the world's number one defensive midfielder, and the other is a Brazilian international who knows his former teammates best.With the joint strangling of these two, it is not easy to get a stable space to dribble the ball.Want to fly as if you were in no man's land?

Disaster!It's hard!Even Wen Zhihao had no confidence at all.But he has to.Otherwise, with Simeone's style, he can be tortured to the point where this lesson is deeply engraved in his bones.In layman's terms, practice until the skin peels off!
Before playing, Wen Zhihao said to everyone: "Everyone is my big brother. I am the youngest here. You must not bear to see me being trained by the boss to lie on the training ground like a dead dog, right? So please run more on the court, so that I can have more opportunities to pass the ball. The test of friendship, ha!"

Both Griezmann and Costa nodded without saying anything.Thomas also patted his chest and promised: "You put your heart in your stomach. What am I doing? It's specially for you to cut off! You just pass the ball to them. If the ball is lost, I promise to get it back for you!"

Under the leadership of the referee team, the two sides officially entered the Camp Nou stadium. More than 9000 fans cheered deafeningly, and Wen Zhihao felt that his eardrums were about to burst.

After a set of fixed procedures was completed, the referee blew the opening whistle on time at [-]:[-] BJ time.It is very suitable for Chinese fans to watch the game. Most night owls have not gone to bed yet, so they don’t need to wake up from the alarm clock and get up from the bed to watch the game.

……

Although it was an away game against Barcelona, ​​Simeone did not set up a bus, and the 4-3-3 formation was still used to the end.The center back combination chose the strongest combination of Godin and Savage. The left back position sent a strong and physically fit teenager Lucas Hernandez, and the right back was still the experienced Juanfran.The three midfielders Thomas is in the center, Saul and Augusto Fernandez are on the left and right.Wen Zhihao, Griezmann and Costa formed the strongest firepower.Although the offensive-oriented formation is more risky, the price of a rash change may be the same as the first half of the game against Sevilla.

In contrast to Barcelona, ​​Valverde obviously used his brains a lot in arranging troops.There is no change in the formation, which is still 4-3-3, but individual positions have been adjusted. Compared with the lineup facing Atletico Madrid for the first time, except for Paulinho's starting game, it is an arrangement for Wen Zhihao.At the central defender position, Pique's partner was replaced by the more experienced Mascherano.The two central defenders who participated in the World Cup finals have very different styles. I am afraid that no one can compare with them in terms of experience.

Valverde's pursuit of assault speed in offense, Dembele started as a right winger.For teenager Lucas Hernandez, the pressure is huge.

Barcelona was eager to take the initiative of the game as soon as possible, and launched a crazy attack on Atletico Madrid's goal from the beginning. Messi and Rakitic threatened the goal twice in the first 2 minutes, but Oblak entered the state quickly and firmly pressed the ball under him.

These two offensives let tens of thousands of Barcelona fans see the determination of the home team, and the cheers and jumping sounds became more violent.Camp Nou was like a miniature earthquake.Fortunately, the club's stadium hardware maintenance is still in place, otherwise the on-site security would really worry about whether such intensity would knock down the stands.

Playing in such an atmosphere is also a kind of interference to the players on both sides. Any shouts will be instantly drowned out by the huge decibels created by the fans. We can only rely on physical communication and tacit understanding to judge the intentions of teammates.

The Camp Nou fans are dedicated.Every time the home team attacks, they can get rhythmic cheers, and every time Atletico Madrid takes the ball, there must be overwhelming boos.Especially when Wen Zhihao took the ball, there was also the sound of whistling and booing.In the hearts of Barcelona fans, Wen Zhihao is like a thorn in the side, and his shooting performance before the game made every home team fan feel deeply threatened.No effort was spared in booing, even harder than cheering for the home team.

All kinds of noises coming from all directions made Wen Zhihao feel very bad.Although he tried to put aside all influences and devote himself to the game.But it's really difficult to concentrate on it like someone is holding a horn and screaming in front of your ear.

In the opening stage, Wen Zhihao did nothing in terms of personal performance, which affected Atletico Madrid's overall attack and was almost suppressed by Barcelona in the first 10 minutes.Simeone's face is getting darker and darker, and this is what he is really worried about.Wen Zhihao's excitement was aroused too early in the series of shots before the game, which was not a good thing for the game.

But now no one can help him, Simeone can only hope that Wen Zhihao can adapt to the atmosphere of the away game as soon as possible by relying on his own game experience.It is no exaggeration to say that the relationship between him and the whole team is one that wins and loses.
