At the press conference before the game, Florence faced the reporters' criticism and did not want to get too entangled.
After praising Osasuna's outstanding performance this season, he also expressed confidence in his position in the team.
The atmosphere of the press conference was simple and peaceful, far from what the uncrowned kings expected.
But Flores gave them no chance and ended the press conference with a smile.
…
Unlike the previous Mediterranean Stadium, more than 54,000 fans will flood into the Calderon Stadium today.
When the team bus drove into the stadium, the enthusiastic fans sang the team song:
Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid (no translation required)
…
The enthusiasm of the home fans made Lindy a little excited.
His first game was at the Santo Domingo Stadium, with thousands of fans although most of them were from Alcor.
But they are also from Madrid, so it's normal to like two teams. Isn't this considered a show of love?
In other words, those who flirt with many members of the opposite sex are considered Neptunes;
Those who lick many men/goddess are considered fur seals;
So what does it mean to like two or more teams at the same time?
Sea cucumber, bah, Poseidon!
Therefore, the atmosphere was not very warm.
The second game was at the Mediterranean Stadium. It was an away game and there were not many fans.
But today, we are at Atletico Madrid's home stadium, the Calderon Stadium. Looking around, we can see Atletico Madrid fans wearing red and white jerseys.
This gave him a completely different football atmosphere.
In the last life, in the Chinese Super League, the most heard thing was:
Get your money back!
stupid guy!
Also: get out of class is over! (Additions welcome)
Of course, there will be cheers after the team scores a goal, but this is the first time he has experienced such a fanatical atmosphere before a game.
Until the head coach announced Lindy's name in the locker room, he was still a little stunned.
In this game, Flores wanted to give more young players opportunities and also to adapt to the lone forward tactics.
This season, Atletico Madrid has scored 17 goals in the 10 games that have been played, averaging 1.7 goals per game, which is not bad.
But this is mainly due to Forlan's performance this season, currently ranking first in the scoring list with 8 goals.
But with 15 goals conceded, it can be said that the defense is in a mess.
You know, in the 2009-10 season, Barcelona, which had the best defense, only conceded 0.63 goals per game.
This is the real reason why they were able to win the La Liga title in the 2009-10 season after spending hundreds of millions of euros on Real Madrid.
Flores wants to be in the top 4 of the league this season, and the first thing he does is rebuild the team's defense.
The 4-5-1 formation is obviously to strengthen defense, although fans may have objections.
But he believes that as long as he keeps bringing 3 points back to Madrid, he can convince the fans and the chairman.
The final starting lineup was released under this circumstance:
Goalkeeper: De Gea;
Full-backs: Valera, Lopez;
Central defender: young 18-year-old Cabrera, paired with 30-year-old veteran Perea;
Midfielder: Lindy is paired with Assuncao to form a double defensive midfielder, and front midfielders Simao and Jurado are paired with 19-year-old Salvio.
Forward Fran, single arrow.
When he read Lindy's name, Assuncao's face darkened instantly, but then his name also appeared in the starting lineup.
This is a brand new attempt. Although Osasuna is currently ranked one higher than Atletico Madrid, its strength is still inferior to Atletico Madrid.
Today Osasuna also arranged a 451 formation.
Their one-way leader is Pandiani, who has played 12 times this season, scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists.
It is thanks to this 33-year-old veteran that they are one place ahead of Atletico Madrid in the league.
Flores described today's tactical arrangements in a very serious and detailed manner.
It can be summed up in a few words: short passes from the middle to penetrate, relying on the two midfielders to control the initiative in the midfield.
…
Before the game, Liu had already interacted with the audience and speculated whether Lindy would start.
To this end, we also specially contacted Li Xinyue, a reporter based in Madrid.
"Hello Xinyue, this is the Imperial Studio, and I am Lao Liu."
The international standard is 2 seconds.
"Hello, Liu, this is the Calderon Stadium in Madrid, and I am Li Xinyue." She specially changed into the new Atletico Madrid uniform she bought today.
Of course, this one has no name.
Originally she wanted to buy a jersey with Lindy's name on it and other peripherals, but the club said it had already placed an order with Yiwu, but it would take time to ship by sea.
"Hello viewers, you can see that I am wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey today, and the jersey of our Chinese player Lindy will be on the shelves soon. Please participate in our text message interaction, and we will randomly select three Lucky viewers will receive gifts."
After saying that, it turned around beautifully. I have to say, it's so round, no, it's so beautiful.
No wonder, every time those football babies are selected, they must have some information.
Otherwise, if you cover your head, you will not be able to tell the difference between men and women.
Next, she randomly interviewed several Atletico Madrid fans outside the Calderon Stadium.
"Welcome to Calderon! Roar~~~~"
"Oh, Lindy, of course, he will start. That was our hero in the last game."
"He is a young and very energetic guy, I believe he can start!"
"We need players like Lindy, Atletico Madrid must win!"
"Yes, we like this Chinese boy. What is Atletico Madrid's motto?" A middle-aged man holding a beer in his hand and arm-in-arm with his friends asked his companions. The fans who came together shouted in unison, "Coraje y corazón! Passion and courage!"
Later, Li Xinyue smiled and said, "It seems that Lindy has left a deep mark on the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans. To be precise, Lindy is very suitable for them!"
It's one o'clock in the Imperial City and 7 p.m. in Spain.
The thirteenth round of La Liga has officially begun.
"Zhuang TV Station!"
"Zhuang TV Station!"
"This is the 12th round of La Liga in the 2009-10 season being broadcast live for you. Atletico Madrid is hosting Osasuna at home. Oh? We have just got the starting lineup."
Lao Liu deliberately paused at this time. It is conceivable that the audience in front of the TV must have started to complain.
"Our Chinese player, 20-year-old Lindy, appears in the starting lineup."
"Atletico Madrid's lineup for this game is 4-5-1, and many young players are in the starting lineup. It seems that Flores has worked hard to prepare for the Champions League game four days later."
"Osasuna also formed a 4-5-1 lineup, with the goalkeeper..."
"It is worth mentioning that their veteran forward Pandiani has made a comeback this season, scoring 10 goals in 12 games. Let's see if he can continue his heroic performance in this game. ."
…
"Ding, the system mission is released: Complete at least five interceptions in this game and win. Mission reward: Rating based on completion."
Lindy, who was in the players' tunnel, suddenly heard the voice of the system in his mind.
His brows knitted into a knot. This task was extremely difficult and could only be accomplished while on defense.
If Atletico Madrid dominates the opponent in this game, the task will definitely not be completed.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins.
Even if they fielded a 4-5-1 lineup, Atletico Madrid, playing at home, did not intend to defend and counterattack.
After a short fall, everyone pressed directly into Osasuna's half.
Amid the cheers of the home fans, Atletico Madrid players were high-spirited, especially several young players.
Second minute of the game.
Simao broke through the defense of Osasuna midfielder Nekonan in the middle and tried a long shot from outside the penalty area.
Of course, the football unsurprisingly flew into the stands.
But this shot opened Atletico Madrid's offensive in this game.
In the next game, the players strictly followed Flores's requirements and cooperated with short passes on the ground.
It was a far cry from their past games.
In past games, Aguero has been relatively flexible and can often form breakthroughs on both sides.
His speed can also help the team find some opportunities behind him in sports battles.
Now it is more about teamwork.
However, several newcomers were obviously a little too excited...
