The game will soon begin on the second day. This is the second game in the first round of the League Cup knockout stage. Atletico Madrid, the previous team, got a draw with the opponent at Dynamo Kiev, and this time when he returned to the home court, Atletico Madrid will definitely have to keep the draw with all his strength this time.

Because at Atletico Madrid's home court, Atletico Madrid scored an away goal, and it was undoubtedly a very strong situation to play defensive counterattack.[]

There is also no cold weather, Atletico Madrid players should be able to maintain a very good condition on the stadium box, but in addition, Atletico Madrid players, they have a very unfavorable situation, that is, in the last game.

Atletico Madrid players are fighting against Villarreal on the stadium on the away game, so such things also have certain hidden dangers for both sides.

The players of Dynamo Kiev are not as good as those of Atletico Madrid. Although they are the best team in the former Soviet Union, they are different from the past at this time.

Due to funding issues in Kiev, there are certain problems with their youth training system, and they cannot train players like Shevchenko.

Even players like Rebrov have not trained such a player in the youth training system of Dynamo Kiev in recent years.

This game can be said to be the most important game for Atletico Madrid, because Atletico Madrid either lives or dies, is either eliminated or advances, and there are only these two paths to go.

Although Atletico Madrid was able to qualify in the group before, their fans were very happy, but when the team had hope to go further, Atletico Madrid fans naturally would not want the team's honor to come more.

Especially the players of Atletico Madrid have been waiting for the championship for a long time. Fans are looking forward to Atletico Madrid's outstanding performance on the stadium. If they can defeat Dynamo Kiev in this game, Atletico Madrid will be a step further from the League Cup.

Although Atletico Madrid may lose the opportunity to win the League Cup even if it reaches the final, after all, if the team can always appear in the League Cup.

Then the fans of Atletico Madrid have hope and hope to win the championship. Although the level of the League Cup is not very high, it is also a European-level trophy after all.

At this time, Atletico Madrid fans were already very hungry for the championship trophy. Even if Atletico Madrid could win the Cup of Kings, then Atletico Madrid fans would be able to wake up laughing while sleeping.

This is the benefit of the fans of small teams. They do not have high requirements for the team, although they are easy to satisfy. Unlike those big clubs, they are not satisfied with winning the league championship. A head coach won the league championship and then fired the head coach directly.

The reason is that the head coach cannot lead the team to play beautiful football. You should know that sometimes beautiful football does not represent the team to win the league championship.

It is often ugly football that can win the honor of championships, but the fans of big clubs do not think so. They think everything is what they deserve, both to play beautifully and to win games.

I guess if I played football at such a large distance, it would definitely be a very sad thing, and it would also put a lot of pressure on the head coach.

Because of the fans, the head coach cannot transform the team according to his philosophy. Even the most awesome head coach needs to transform the team according to his own ideas.

If someone has been interfering with him during his transformation of the team, I believe that even any head coach will definitely collapse.

Of course, this kind of thing did not exist at this time. Cooper was completely trusted by Atletico Madrid at this time. Although Cooper was also a little dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid because of the introduction of players, he was also very clear about the difficulties of Atletico Madrid, and Cooper also expressed his understanding of the club's situation.

Moreover, even Cooper can use these cards in his hands to bring the team a very good result, and his performance is already very good.

Although Cooper's style of play is relatively conservative, he can help the team bring league points and help the team fight on the three fronts in the League Cup and the King's Cup.

You should know that at this time, there are not many teams fighting on the third line, and there are not many teams that hope to win the championship on the third line.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid did not give up any game. Just when everyone thought Atletico Madrid would give up the league game, Atletico Madrid showed strong spirit, and then fully demonstrated their strength in the game against Villarreal, and also tied the opponent away.

And if Atletico Madrid is lucky, Atletico Madrid can defeat its opponent directly. Atletico Madrid has the strength and the same level.

Atletico Madrid fans have already entered the stadium early. Because Calderon Stadium has a subway, most people walk to the stadium, which makes Atletico Madrid fans very imposing.

The imports of the stadium are all red oceans, because this is Calderon Stadium, Atletico Madrid's home court, and Atletico Madrid's red and white shirts, which look red from a distance.

Among the fans, Ciala also came early, but she was not alone. She also had her agent next to Ciala. The reason why Ciala was robbed before was because she and her agent were doing separate actions.

So this time when the agent heard that Ciala was stolen, she resolutely acted as a accompanying Ciala. Moreover, Ciala's agent is a man, which makes people look like Ciala's bodyguard.

"Sister, I really didn't expect you to accompany me to watch the game." At this time, Monica, a Spanish beauty who was on the bus with Mark yesterday, said to another beauty.

"Looking at your absent-minded look yesterday, I also want to see what kind of man you are. Although I am a Real Madrid fan, this does not prevent me from watching such a game," said a woman next to Monica with a similar appearance to her and smiled at her.

"I knew you were the best," Monica said to her sister in a coquettish manner.

In fact, Monica left a phone call for Mark yesterday, and she was about to wait for Mark's phone call because she felt that Mark had been entangled with her for so long, and she would call her the first time she got the phone call.

But what disappointed Monica was that she had been waiting for almost all night and Mark did not call her. Monica was very depressed, and she felt that Mark shouldn't be playing with her.

And yesterday was not April Fool's Day, so Mark shouldn't be so boring, but Monica told her sister about her, the Spanish movie star, Penelope Cruz (penelopec)

uz), and Monica is her real sister, but Monica is not as old as Mark thought. Monica is the same age as Mark, and she is also nineteen years old.

Monica was not a fan at first, but Penelope was a fan, and she was a fan of Real Madrid. She once saw Mark raging against Real Madrid stars at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Then Mark used his speed to teach the world's number one left-back Robert Carlos a lesson. In that game, Penelope was impressed by Mark's appearance.

Then when Monica described Mark's appearance, Penelope probably thought that this should be Mark, a player of Atletico Madrid, so he accompanied his sister to take a look.

People may be like that. When others pursue you, you may feel that nothing is wrong, but if the person who pursues you suddenly stops pursuing you, most people will probably be a little curious at that time, that is, why doesn't that person come to pursue you anymore? Monica thinks like this.

She felt that Mark tried his best to get the phone number to her, but for some reason she didn't call her. Obviously, Monica wouldn't think that Ciala didn't tell Mark the phone number. Monica believed that Ciala wouldn't be so funny.

She thought it should be Mark's reason, it must be that Mark had delayed something, and after her sister told her, Monica felt that the man before might be Mark's star of Atletico Madrid.

Monica also felt a little regretful at this time. She had the opportunity to chat with Mark before, but she insisted on maintaining some reserve. Then she believed in her charm too much and lost Mark directly.

In fact, Monica was a little moved when she first saw Mark because she had an unparalleled attraction. Monica was just pretending to be cool. In fact, she was already a little moved, but she felt a little dissatisfied with Mark's actions at that time, so she made such a statement to Mark.

She heard her sister say that men can control them by playing hard to get, and Monica is also preparing to try what her sister said. This is her first experiment, but she failed unexpectedly.

"I don't think I have to say anything more in this game, right? Our task in this game is to not lose the ball. Remember that not losing the ball is our victory." In Atletico Madrid's locker room, Mark naturally didn't know that Monica had arrived at the stadium. Mark listened to Mark's final speech in the locker room.

At this time, Cooper just finished speaking and began to scan the players in the locker room. Finally, Cooper's eyes fell to Martin. When Martin saw Cooper looking at him, he lowered his head nervously. At this time, Martin seemed very unconfident.

"Hey!!" Cooper sighed in his heart, and then said to the players, "Be careful to protect the goal on the defense line, the midfield protects the middle, and the forwards withdraw and defend appropriately."

Cooper really has no confidence in Martin, but Franco's injury recovery is indeed not very optimistic. If Cooper wants to replace him, it is unrealistic. Cooper can't go to the youth team to choose young players who are only fourteen or five years old to replace Martin.

At least Martin still has a certain first-team game experience, and those young players have no first-team game experience at all. For the conservative Cooper, he dare not make such a gambling. Although Cooper was very helpless, he still had to use Martin, because Martin is also the only relatively good player in the entire Atletico Madrid team.

"We are just defensive counterattacking in this game. As long as we can seize the opportunity in front of the goal, the victory will definitely belong to us," Cooper said at the end.

In addition, not all players are very healthy in this game. Even if Cooper is eliminated from the goalkeeper position in this game, his resources are very limited.

Because Lu Xin had cramps in the last game, Cooper did not dare to send him to the court. Cooper replaced Lu Xin with Marcelo and started among the midfielders in the three midfielders.

Then Cooper made a bold change for the first time in the forwards. Glenchar and Portillo appeared in the starting position of the forwards for the first time.

This change is entirely because Torres' body has reached a zero point. If Torres starts again in a row, he is likely to be injured.

Because when a player's body becomes tired, his body's ability to fight will also decrease, and his ability to resist injuries will also decrease. Therefore, ordinary teams will also experience frequent injuries when fighting in fatigue. This is the reason.

Torres is a weapon for Cooper to counterattack. Cooper dared not use Torres' body as a bet, and even if he wanted to gamble, it was not the time, because Atletico Madrid's situation was far from the time to take risks.

Although several Atletico Madrid players cannot play on the court, Atletico Madrid's defensive counterattack tactics have relatively weakened the concerns caused by the team's uneven lineup.

The first is Van der Fate's absence. Originally, Van der Fate was a midfield organizer. For the midfield organizer, it was a team's offensive hub, but it was not that important in the defensive counterattack formation.

Although Van der Fate is also a good passer in the defensive counterattack lineup, in the defensive counterattack lineup, it is generally aimed at giving up the midfield, and what it needs is the forward's super ability and speed advantages.

Therefore, in terms of defensive counterattack formation, there is no need for a front midfielder at all. Although Van der Fate is not a strict front midfielder, Mascherano can also replace Van der Fate's long pass, although Mascherano's passing ability is not as accurate as Van der Fate.

But as long as the striker of Atletico Madrid is very hardworking, it will definitely make up for this little gap, and there is no problem.

Atletico Madrid's forward line is full of those very fast players. Glencier himself is a speed player. Although Portillo's speed is not as fast as Glencier, Portillo's speed is already very fast if compared with the tall defender of Ukraine.

Moreover, Portillo is under tremendous pressure. The reason why Cooper sent Portillo to the court continuously was not that Cooper liked Portillo slightly, but that Cooper liked Portillo's spirit of fighting on the court. Portillo is a very diligent striker on the court.

Instead of waiting for opportunities like those big-name players, Portillo is a forward who will actively compete on the court, and such a player is exactly the player Cooper likes.

So Cooper felt that players like Portillo who can compete will definitely drive the team's morale in the frontcourt, and Mark's fight in the backcourt is also very active, so there are also active players in Atletico Madrid's frontcourt and backcourt.

As for Atletico Madrid's midfielder, three defensive midfielders, they will definitely turn the midfield into a meat grinder. Cooper believes that Dynamo Kiev should have no advantage in the midfield.

"Mark, although your position is right back, remember, I want you to be the right winger when attacking and right back when defense. Can you do it?" Cooper said to Mark after explaining to everyone around him.

"Coach, don't worry, this is what you say, right? As long as you give me instructions, I will definitely do it." Mark said with a smile. I'm afraid that Mark will only dare to joke with head coach Cooper in the entire Atletico Madrid team.

Cooper was not angry after hearing Mark's words. Anyway, Mark often talked to Cooper like this, and Mark could indeed do what Mark said off the court. Naturally, Cooper could not say anything to such a Mark.

Moreover, Cooper likes Mark very much. I guess if Cooper has a daughter, he would consider introducing his daughter to Mark. Of course, this is a joke, because Cooper does not have a daughter, and even if he has a daughter, he is much older than Mark.

"The competition will win!" The players held their hands together and shouted and rushed out of the locker room.

Atletico Madrid players are waiting to play in the player channel, and at this time the Calderon Stadium becomes a concert, and all the players sing Atletico Madrid's team songs, preparing to usher in the most important game.

And will Mark discover the Spanish beauty Monica and her sister he saw yesterday during the game?
