Super Marshal

Something really happened!

Moreover, it was a big event that caused a sensation in the entire Spanish football world!

On the day when Atletico Madrid and Lazio negotiated the transfer of Simeone, the Spanish Football Association officially announced the La Liga schedule for the new season.

In the La Liga season from 2002 to 2003, the opening match was scheduled for August 31st, with the newly promoted Racing Santander playing Valladolid at home, while the first round of other teams was scheduled for September 1st. day.

But that's not the point.

The point is, Atletico Madrid ushered in Barcelona in the first round, and it was a guest at Camp Nou.

Everyone has always said that Gao Han came from Barcelona and studied under Van Gaal, and Van Gaal returned to Camp Nou. This master-apprentice duel itself is very eye-catching, and now it has been pushed to the first round.

Not only that, as the most attractive matchup in La Liga last season, the Madrid derby has also attracted much attention this season.

The first round of the two sides will be in the eighteenth round on January 19th, with Real Madrid sitting at the Bernabéu Stadium.

But the second round of the duel between the two sides was scheduled for April 26 at the Calderon Stadium.

April 26th, happens to be the centenary of Atlético de Madrid's birthday.

As soon as the schedule was announced, it immediately caused an uproar throughout Spain.

All the media reporters were like a festival, shouting that the schedule was a coincidence, as if it had been arranged in the dark, and it gave Real Madrid a chance to revenge.

However, many media publicly believed that this was deliberately arranged by the Spanish Football Association.

It is not surprising that the schedule is deliberately arranged. The most typical example is the derby of the century between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which is always scheduled in November and December.

The reason is also very simple, because there is no suspense too early.

Nowadays, the Spanish Football Association obviously wants to arrange such a gimmick.

And in addition to the two matchups in La Liga, this season's rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will also fight to the end again.

As last season's Champions League champion and UEFA Cup champion, the Madrid duo will compete in the European Super Cup before the season.

Last season, Atletico Madrid won the Copa del Rey and La Liga. According to the convention, the Spanish Super Cup should be challenged by Real Madrid, the runner-up of the Copa del Rey.

In other words, apart from other games, there will be at least five more Madrid derbies this season.

And the most important one is undoubtedly the battle of Atlético de Madrid's Centennial Celebration on April 26.

Because of this, after receiving the news, all the media reporters in Spain were as excited as if they had been beaten to death.

"Okay, okay, this schedule is well arranged!"

In the chairman's office at the Bernabéu Stadium, Florentino saw the latest news from the AS newspaper.

It thrilled him.

Last season, on Real Madrid's 100th birthday, Atletico Madrid beat the Galacticos so embarrassingly, which made him suffer unprecedented humiliation, but he always remembered it in his heart.

Well now, the chance for revenge has come.

Aren't you spoiling my centennial celebration?

Now it's your turn to celebrate your 100th birthday, and it's our turn to mess things up!

Thinking of this, Florentino's whole body burned.

"Jorge, how's the striker signing situation?" Florentino finally calmed down, and turned to care about the team's signing situation.

The general manager Valdano immediately replied: "The progress is going well. We are currently in contact with the agents of Crespo and Ronaldo. Both players are willing to join us, but..."

Florentino's face darkened, "But what?"

"Inter Milan is not willing to let Ronaldo go. Moratti has always refused to negotiate with us. As for Crespo, Lazio did not make things difficult, but the asking price is too high."

In Real Madrid's superstar-studded attacking lineup, Morientes at the center position has always been a weakness.

The Spanish center is not weak, but his performance is not stable enough, and there is still a certain gap between him and the superstar.

On the other hand, the players that Real Madrid likes, whether Shevchenko and Vieri, Crespo or Ronaldo, are among the top superstars in the world.

In terms of Florentino's plan, only they are worthy of Real Madrid's authentic center!

"How much are they asking for?" Florentino asked, frowning.

After the madness of Figo and Zidane, Real Madrid now needs to take a breather, and they really can't spend too much money to operate, not to mention that it is a cold winter in the transfer market, and the asking price is too high to be outrageous.

"They want to claim 55 million euros for Crespo's transfer fee from Parma to Lazio two years ago."

"What?" Florentino lost his voice, "Craniotti is crazy about money!"

Everyone knows that Lazio is in a bad situation and is eager to sell players for cash.

If Crespo hadn't paid the sky-high price of 55 million euros at this time, he must be out of his mind.

Even if Real Madrid is the winner, it's not so outrageous, right?

"What about Ronaldo?"

"His agent told me very clearly that Ronaldo wants to leave Inter Milan."

The grievances between Ronaldo and Cooper have long been obvious, and after the World Cup, the aliens mentioned more than once that they would leave Inter Milan, but Moratti has been refusing to let go.

Florentino immediately realized the key point. After thinking for a while, he nodded and smiled, "I want to go to Milan myself."

"Talking about Ronaldo?" Valdano was a little surprised.

The last time the chairman went out in person was to introduce Zidane.

"Yes." Florentino was very resolute, "I believe that as long as I get Ronaldo, plus Raul, Zidane and Figo... I will definitely destroy Madrid at the Calderon Stadium at all costs." sports!"

At the end, Florentino gritted his teeth, his expression full of ferocity.

Even Valdano was taken aback, having never seen him like this before.

"Dear friends from the press, we held this press conference today to grandly introduce to you, Diego Simeone, he is finally back!"

In the press conference hall of the Calderón Stadium, as soon as Hill finished speaking, he saw the tough guy Diego Simeone wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey and slowly walking out of the backstage.

There was a burst of thunderous applause and screams at the scene.

Although he has bid farewell to La Liga for many years, Simeone still has a high influence in the minds of Atletico Madrid fans. Today, countless fans gathered at the Calderon Stadium to welcome his return.

"I'm very happy to be back at Atletico Madrid." Simeone sat between Hill and Gao Han, talking freely.

"When I left, I once said that this is my home. I hope to come back one day and even retire here. Today, I still think so."

Having said that, Simeone turned his head to look at the head coach Gao Han, "Thank you Mr. Gao Han for your trust and affirmation, and also thank all the fans for their love for me. I will definitely do my best to dedicate my all to Atletico Madrid. .”

Simeone's affectionate statement won him immediate applause.

After the reporter asked a few more questions about the Argentine tough guy, the scene turned into a free questioning session.

"Mr. Gao Han, there is news that Simeone will be the only signing of Atletico Madrid this summer, is that true?"

"Yes, I am very satisfied with the current team lineup. If it is not necessary, we will not introduce other players."

"Mr. Gao Han, I believe you must have studied the schedule of the new season. What do you think of the derby match on April 26?"

"It was just a normal La Liga game."

"But it was Atlético Madrid's centenary."

"Yes, but the celebration and the competition are two different things." Gao Han replied with a smile.

Regarding this issue, he reached a consensus with the management and tried to downplay it as much as possible.

"But we heard that Real Madrid is aiming for revenge. It is reported that Florentino went to Milan in person to discuss Ronaldo's transfer with Inter Milan. What do you think?"

"This is about Real Madrid. I'm just like you, just stand outside and watch." Gao Han replied with a smile.

"Ronaldo, Raul, Zidane and Figo, this is probably the most luxurious attacking lineup on the planet, don't you worry at all?"

Gao Han shook his head, "I never cared about my opponents, I only cared about ourselves, and I have to remind you that if the team is used to judge the outcome, Real Madrid is a galaxy battleship, so aren't we a cosmic team?"

Space team?

There was an uproar at the scene.

Obviously, what Gao Han is referring to is the record of five kills against Real Madrid last season.

"Mr. Gao Han, are you criticizing Real Madrid for blindly piling up superstars, but it doesn't help the overall strength of the team?"

"That's what you said, it has nothing to do with me."

"According to reliable sources, Florentino has issued a kill order. Real Madrid is determined to take revenge this season, especially in the game on April 26. Mr. Gao Han, are you sure of winning?"

"The game hasn't been played yet, so the outcome is unpredictable." Gao Han replied flatly, "However, since I took over the team, I have never lost!"

There was an uproar again.

Isn't this too powerful and domineering?

Never lost?

Well, it is indeed a complete victory, but facing Real Madrid with such a bright superstar, can you have the least awe?

On the contrary, Xiao Hill and Simeone, who were sitting on the left and right sides of Gao Han, were both hooked.

Atletico Madrid just want to be so domineering!

What's the matter?

If you have the ability, beat us on the court!

"Mr. Gao Han, there was a review article published by Aspen newspaper before, which analyzed the performance of La Liga players in the World Cup, but Atletico Madrid's ranking is relatively low, which does not match the actual results. What do you think?"

Gao Han has seen this article, and it is more pertinent, because Atletico Madrid's players did not perform well in the World Cup.

Although Kaka entered the Brazilian national team, he only played as a substitute for a while, and his performance was quite average.

Villa in the case of Spain's early qualifying group stage, the third start, but also not very ideal.

As for the other players, they also didn't perform very well, which was quite different from their performance in Atletico Madrid.

"What do I think?" Gao Han was a little surprised by this question.

"I think this is a good thing for Atletico Madrid, because the players can put all their energy on the team."

"Here, I also want to take this opportunity to say to all players, whether you have no chance to participate in the World Cup, or whether you performed poorly after participating in the World Cup, it does not matter, and it is all over."

"From now on, we should concentrate all our strength and devote ourselves to the new season."

"La Liga and the Champions League in the new season are our World Cup!"

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, Simeone next to him couldn't help clapping vigorously.
