Walking into the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, although the atmosphere here is indeed fanatical enough, Yi Zhe can feel that all the stands are like lava-like red waves sweeping down towards the center of the stadium, but this does not deter him at all.
Wanda Metropolitan Stadium, you can feel the Chinese elements when you hear this new name. If it was the era of Calderon Stadium, Yi Zhe might be a little more wary. Now... he doesn't believe that Atletico Madrid's second shareholder dares to do anything to him. Make trouble.
At the same time, he glanced at Pepe: "Brother, can you do it with a little more ferocity?"
He was a little surprised. Is the warrior monk really going to transform into a holy monk? Do people become more cowardly as they get older?
Peipei just smiled: "Yi, I don't need your guidance yet, but after all, I'm just a normal person."
Even in the eyes of his teammates, they have to be convinced by Yi Zhe's big heart.
Although the media has hyped up the gimmick of the city derby, it turns out that the Madrid city derby is indeed considered low among global derbies. Not to mention that it cannot be as bloody as Boca River Plate, and even the war of words between the Premier League and the Red Club. None. The Real Madrid fan base in Madrid may not be as good as the local Atletico Madrid fan base, but this group of people maintain their own identity and don’t even bother to talk to Atletico Madrid, a group of labor fans. Atletico Madrid doesn't even have a full-time media mouthpiece.
As for tactics, Simeone did not prepare specifically according to Derby standards. Even the Madrid Derby coming at this time was just a warm-up in the eyes of the commentators.
"It should be understood that Zidane chose to rotate the lineup today. The Madrid derby is important, but the El Clasico that is just around the corner is related to Real Madrid's plans for the entire season."
Although the first El Clasico of the new season is two rounds later, Zidane has already rotated Modric and Kroos, who already have two yellow cards, today in order to be fully prepared. As for Yizhe, since he is in La Liga There is no yellow card record yet, and it is obviously not in Zidane's rotation plan.
However, in front of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid has always been able to give up possession of the ball and rely on defensive counterattacks. Therefore, Real Madrid almost no doubt dominated the offensive at the beginning, and Yi Zhe dominated the team composed of Saul and Koke at the beginning. In the midfielder combination, Simeone arranged a strangulating formation of four defenders. When Yi Zhe took the ball, Croatian defender Vrsaljko's defensive attention tilted to his side, and Yi Zhe just seized this opportunity, from Tuck the ball behind the defense. Cristiano Ronaldo quickly stepped in and blasted a pass-like shot from the right side of the penalty area. An arc went directly past the fingers of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak and fell straight into the goal.
"Toooooor - Cristiano!!!! He finally scored a goal with Yi that looked pretty good!"
After Ronaldo scored the goal, he immediately ran over and hugged Yi Zhe. This was also the most spectacular result of the two people's cooperation since the season.
The situation opened up in just seven minutes, which already marked the beginning of this derby developing in the direction that was least like a derby.
In the 25th minute, Benzema's header locked the score at 2:0.
In the second half, Zidane replaced Yi Zhe with Kovacic for the first time. Although Real Madrid had locked the score at 3:0 at this time, after all, this was the first time after the game, and there was still some confusion after the game. The media asked Zidane, but Zidane did not hide it at all.
"You only need to take a look at the schedule to know the answer... Yes, we are rotating to face Barcelona. For us every season, the showdown with Barcelona is the final."
On the other side, Yi Zhe was surrounded by a group of Chinese reporters for interviews.
"Yizhe, are you looking forward to the national derby?"
Yi Zhe smiled: "Although saying this does not disrespect our next opponent Sporting Gijon, the fact is that we are really looking forward to it."
"How do you face Barcelona?"
Yi Zhe let out a cold snort from his nostrils: "This is a war! You may think that I have proved it in many games, but for me, it must be proved as a winner in front of Barcelona to be complete."
After the game, the domestic media has already written the preview title of the new season of El Clasico: A story of love and death is about to unfold.
In the league match with Sporting Gijon, Zidane did not even give Yizhe a chance to enter the squad. After the entire Madrid began to publicize Yi Zhe's statement, he was forced into the club's psychological clinic by Zidane.
"We need you to have a healthy mentality, Yi, and don't let past obsessions weigh you down."
Yi Zhe wanted to refute that he was healthy, but this was the final decision of the coaching staff. Fortunately, the club's psychological counselor was a young beauty who was not aloof. After an hour of witty exchanges, Yi Zhe successfully walked out and received a healthy psychological diagnosis and treatment report from the beautiful counselor.
Although it was a little difficult for Real Madrid to play without Yizhe, they still beat Sporting Gijon at home with a score of 2:1.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Next is the highlight of the new La Liga season, the El Clasico.
Moreover, this first game of Real Madrid is an away game, which means that Yi Zhe will return to Catalonia.
Before setting off, Yi Zhe unexpectedly received an express package from his agent Thies. When he opened it, he saw a pair of boxing gloves and a full set of wrist and knee pads.
After being confused for the first time, Yi Zhe immediately called to express his gratitude.
"Tis, I didn't realize you were so warm-hearted. I'm so sorry! But I think it might be better if you pray for my safe return!"
Thies chuckled on the other end of the phone: "Yi, if you have a mature and complete bodyguard team, of course this is not my business. Since you don't have one, don't underestimate Barcelona's energy. Of course you won't be able to use it on the court, but If you want to be alone on the streets of Barcelona, these will help you. Although I don't want you to act in such a dangerous way."
Yi Zhe was speechless for a while, but out of caution, he consulted Ronaldo about the dangers of the trip to Barcelona.
Cristiano Ronaldo stared at him for a while, always making Yi Zhe feel a little hairy.
"The competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona is all-round. From the perspective of a professional player, according to my experience, they will not do anything to us on and off the pitch, unless they really want to cause a war. Of course, Yi, this is just Ever. I'm not sure what will happen if you join. After all, you guy..."
Yi Zhe understood Ronaldo's eyes, which was obviously a hint - if you don't look for trouble, it won't be a big deal.
But Yi Zhe really wanted to say that this was truly unsolvable. He was never the one causing trouble. All the troubles came from him!
As for returning to his hometown this time, Yi Zhe is seriously thinking about whether he should really find something to do.
