"I don't want to predict the score, but everyone knows that my heart belongs to Barcelona." Zapatero showed his love to the Red and Blue Army just after returning to Spain from Asia.

Spanish Sports Minister Lisavetz sided with Atletico Madrid, "I believe Atletico Madrid will win the King's Cup, then the league title, and they will represent Spain in the UEFA Champions League next season!"

"Many people say that Barça is the template for modern football," Lisavits said. "It comes from the way Barça plays and the players... but it's only because Barça reached the Champions League final and Atletico didn't qualify for the Champions League, but they did. The strength of the Champions League final!"

Spain's first deputy prime minister, Rubalcaba, chose not to be offended, "Predict the score? Who told me to answer this question! Last time I predicted a 5-0 national derby, and the result became a reality, this time I don't want to talk any more What prophecy?"

Today, Gaspart once again expressed his views on the Copa del Rey final, "Barcelona will try their best to get the most goals, but Atletico Madrid is not an opponent that is easy to be defeated. Barcelona can also win 1-0 at the last minute. Yes, it will cause Atletico more pain."

With the expectation of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people, the decisive battle is finally about to begin!

————

Atlético de Madrid's achievements over the past decade have made many players feel ashamed, and many of them have participated in it.

For many players, relegation was a long way off ten years ago, but there has been no Spanish domestic champion in the past five years, and they have experienced it first-hand.

In the past five years, Real Madrid has been sinking and has not won any championships. A few years ago, Barcelona's results were also unstable. As a result, Villarreal rose, Valencia rose, and even Sevilla participated. Three Champions Leagues, and Atlético de Madrid... results can only be described as pitiful.

So when Wansheng "helped" them to look back, after the team's achievements in the past ten years, many players are more eager to win the King's Cup.

This is not just a domestic cup championship, but the first Spanish domestic championship won by Atlético de Madrid in the 21st century. As long as this championship can be won, no matter how bad Atlético Madrid's performance is in the future, fans will remember them. , because they helped the team win the championship, on the contrary, the team's performance is getting better and better, then the fans will definitely regard this championship as 'the beginning of the rise of Atlético de Madrid', and each of them will definitely be remembered by then, It will even be included in the history of Atlético de Madrid.

What an honor that is!

Thinking of this, many players are eagerly looking forward to the game. In their eyes, Barcelona is no longer just an opponent, but an enemy - an enemy that must be defeated!

Wan Sheng stood with the team in the player tunnel. He looked around carefully, the walls on both sides, the portraits on the walls, the reporters in the mixing area behind him, the bright outside the tunnel in front, and the warm voices came in, and the voices were rippling. By the ear, it is as exciting as a beauty bathing.

Wan Sheng suppressed his desire and excitement for the championship, kept a serious face, and opened the football training master system to check the task content--

"Personal honorary task: Wansheng, you are already a world-renowned international coach, but you need to keep moving forward and lay the road to the king, new champions can bring greater glory.

Mission requirements: Win a Spanish domestic championship.

Quest reward: 1000 experience points, high-level talent skill "Eye of Status Evaluation". "

This task must be done.

Wansheng has two talent 'eye' series skills, one is the eye of strength evaluation, and the other is the eye of potential evaluation. The combination of the two can see a player's current ability and potential. Under normal circumstances, it is almost straightforward to determine a player. The future of players, now a new talent skill has appeared - 'Eye of Status Evaluation'.

The name of the skill is enough to describe the effect of the skill.

Not surprisingly, the 'Eye of Status Evaluation' is to be able to see the current status of a player. Undoubtedly, this will be the magic skill of the future lineup. It can see the status of each player in the team, without even looking at the players' daily status. Training performance, you can directly send the best players in each position.

It is also very useful in the game. In the official game, the state of the players will fluctuate. Some players are affected by the physical and mental aspects such as 'body reloading', 'goals and goals', etc. Ups and downs, there will even be very big ups and downs. For example, a player starts in good shape, but his mental quality is very poor. The opponent scores a goal and immediately becomes out of shape.

Generally in the game, only occasional and overall performance can be used to evaluate a player's state.

With the "Eye of Status Evaluation", you can immediately know which player is not in good condition, and you can also refer to substitutions.

At the beginning of the season, when receiving the personal honor task, Wansheng classified this task as a 'must be completed', so when Atletico Madrid and Barcelona competed fiercely in the league, Wansheng did not intend to give up the Copa del Rey .

It is not easy to compete for the league title, so in order to complete the task, the Copa del Rey must also be fought for.

Now Atletico Madrid is playing very well in the league, and there is a great hope of winning the championship by the end of the season, but after all, it is the end of the season, and it is also an uncertain thing, and the Copa del Rey trophy is just around the corner--

Just beat Barcelona!

————

While the players from both sides were waiting in the tunnel, the broadcast from the Mestalla Stadium had begun to introduce the rosters of the two teams.

The announcer read the names of the players of the two teams one by one.

The Atletico Madrid starting lineup that the commentator read first, including Aguero, Ozil, Raul Garcia, and Maurice all caused a lot of cheers, but the fans who support Barcelona are obviously better than those who support Madrid. There was a lot of competition, so the Barcelona players were greeted more warmly.

There are 20,000 fans in Madrid today, of which half are fans who support Real Madrid, and more than 25,000 fans in Barcelona. These people are all loyal fans of Barcelona, ​​and they will never give Madrid to Madrid. Athletics come on.

The number of fans can also tell what ordinary people think about the game.

Although Atlético de Madrid double-played Barcelona, ​​it also has many advantages over Barcelona in the league competition, but in the eyes of the public, Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the top teams in Europe, even if the home and away lose two games. , and few people will question the strength of Barcelona, ​​especially in this kind of competition, many media commented before the game, "The Copa del Rey final is a problem for Atletico Madrid, and they have few players in the squad. Having played in the final, Atletico Madrid lacks experience compared to Barcelona..."

"What they need most now is not a championship trophy, but more experience in participating in important competitions..."

The above is, of course, what the Catalan media said.

The Madrid media certainly don’t say that. They are not worried about the strength of Atletico Madrid, but they will still talk about the experience of the competition. In many cases, the experience of the competition will be directly related to the state and performance of a team in the competition.

For teams with less experience in competitions, players will have to bear more psychological pressure, and they will be more nervous, so their performance will naturally be affected.

On the contrary, the performance will be much better.

This is also one of the reasons why many media are optimistic about Barcelona. Barcelona has a lot of experience in competitions, especially last year, they won the 'Grand Slam' and swept all the championships they could get. For them, the Copa del Rey is just a It's just a small event, and the championship is nothing at all.

This mentality will make it easier for the players to play in the game.

Wansheng scoffs at such statements!

Everything has a good side and a positive side. In important games, the mentality of the players is the same. If you really talk about the experience of the competition, Barcelona is indeed better than Atletico Madrid, but this is only because Barcelona The players are more mature and they have more experience, and the so-called "don't take the championship seriously" is not a good thing in the finals of important competitions. The players are relaxed and relaxed, but they have lost their pursuit of the championship. .

If you lose the heart of chasing the championship, you may relax, but you can only perform better if you desperately want to win the championship!

This is also an important reason why some teams, after reaching the peak, with a strengthened lineup, their performance will gradually decline, or even become very poor!

Under everyone's expectations, the finals finally began.

Barcelona take the lead!

At the same time as Villa kicked the ball out, the fans in the stands gave a huge cheer, the stadium lights were all turned on, and the Mestalla Stadium became a devastated galaxy.

Wan Sheng stood up and walked solemnly to the sidelines.

Guardiola stared intently at the game, resting his raised right leg on the ground.

In the whole of Spain, Europe and the world, everyone's goal is to focus on the game itself.

Barcelona launched the first wave of attack!

Villa handed the ball to the backcourt, and after a few passes, the football quickly reached the frontcourt, and then Xavi crossed Bucquets diagonally, who wanted to give it to Messi, but was stopped by Raul Garcia .

Barcelona's attack is over and the ball is in control of Atlético Madrid.

But Barcelona doesn't care. There are 90 minutes in the game, and it has just begun. It is nothing to lose a tentative attack. They still have a lot of time and opportunities.

Atletico Madrid made a few passes.

This is the normal backcourt cooperation in the game, the purpose is to let everyone run to the position, and then wait for the opportunity to find loopholes to attack.

But when Raul Garcia got the ball for the second time, he remembered what the coach Wan Sheng kept insisting on.

"Competing with Barcelona, ​​we don't need to control, and it doesn't make any sense to control the ball with Barcelona, ​​we can't do better than them!"

"What is our advantage? Yes, speed!"

"We're going to fight fast!"

"Whether it's a counterattack or a normal attack, we have to play the rhythm to make the game faster, and the advantage will be ours..."

————

Morris received the pass, and Harvey immediately forced it.

Busquets also rushed over next to him, seemingly wanting to stop Morris with Harvey, Morris hurriedly handed the ball to Raul Garcia, Busquets rushed to Raul Garcia, Ine Sta is also approaching, and Raul Garcia has to face pincer attack.

Not only Maurice and Raul Garcia, when the football is in the middle of the pitch, Atlético de Madrid players have to face very tight pressing with the ball, and there is a risk of losing the ball at any time.

This scene was seen in Wan Sheng's eyes.

The positioning and movement of the Barcelona players were unusual in this game, apparently Guardiola's preparation for Atletico Madrid.

Wan Sheng looked towards the Barcelona coaching bench.

Guardiola was sitting there watching the game seriously, as if he felt the gaze coming over, and Guardiola also turned his head.

The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played twice, and then pay attention to other Atlético Madrid games, especially Real Madrid games, Guardiola thinks he can analyze Atletico Madrid's tactics in the game.

To put it bluntly, it is a conservative defensive counterattack!

Focusing on defense, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, whether to score goals or not, as long as you can defend the goal and drag the game into extra time, it is also very beneficial to Atletico Madrid, because Barcelona is stronger.

Guardiola was so confident that he thought his analysis was correct and he made the game decision - adding thickness to the midfield.

After the thickness of the midfield is increased, the attack can be heavily pressed to break the intensive defense of Atletico Madrid. In terms of defense, it can also limit the counterattack of Atletico Madrid to the greatest extent.

Increasing the thickness of the midfield is good for both offense and defense.

The front and backcourts are weaker, but that's not a problem. In the face of fast counterattacks, some backcourt players are useless at all. In terms of offense, Barcelona has never fully counted on the forwards, even Villa. In Barcelona, ​​Villa is often no different from a midfielder.

An adjustment of position and movement is directly aimed at the layout of Atlético de Madrid.

Guardiola is proud of it.

After making adjustments, Barcelona is completely unafraid of Atletico Madrid's intensive defense and quick counterattacks.

But...is that really true?
