Chapter 297 Opponents (One Hundred and Fifty-Six/One Hundred and Seventy-Four) Chapter 4

Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh opponent

Game time is approaching!

On the day of the game, the Yingtai Arena was crowded.

Atlético de Madrid fans wore their red and white striped shirts, while the Sheet Legion fans waved flags and marched in droves towards the final stadium.

There are also a lot of Luton fans on the other side. They wore their home jerseys and came to the stadium from all directions.

However, I am afraid that the Luton fans will be in a weak position in the number of stadiums in this game.

This is not because Atletico Madrid has more fans than Luton - mainly because Luton humiliated Hamburg 5-0 at this stadium more than ten days ago, which made the local fans not like Luton as a team. .

The Yingtai Arena has a total of 50,000 performances. Both clubs have each received 18,000 tickets, and of the remaining 16,000 tickets, 6,000 are distributed to major sponsors. The 10,000 tickets are for the neutral zone - the first-served month is close to the water, and the local fans of Hamburg are the biggest buyers of these 10,000 tickets.

Therefore, I am afraid that most of the fans in the neutral zone of this game are also hostile to Luton.

But the Luton players don't care about this. They only beat their opponents at this stadium more than ten days ago. At that time, more than 90% of the fans here were their opponent's fans. At that time, they were able to Great victory, now they have at least 18,000 of their own fans coming in to support themselves, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

The Yingtai Arena was quickly filled, and the confrontation between the two sides started from the fans.

Spaniards and Englishmen shouted at each other in the stands, which made the local security department very nervous.

English football hooligans are famous all over the world, in fact, Spanish fans are not good gentlemen.

Football is a manly sport full of hormones, and things like fights between fans on both sides happen too much on the football field.

Fortunately, there is no historical grudge between Atlético de Madrid and Luton. The two sides scolded each other, but it was finally across the guardrail of the stands, and no one directly jumped over to do it.

Players from both sides also quickly came to the stadium to warm up, and the fans' attention was not on each other at this time.

Fans of both teams cheered at their own team!

This season's Europa League final is about to start at this stadium!

........

Flores got Luton's starting roster.

The Spanish coach smiled contemptuously when he saw that the names on the roster didn't match his predictions.

Compared with Atletico Madrid, Luton's biggest weakness is their bench!

Atlético de Madrid are the giants of La Liga anyway. Even though they have sunk a lot in recent years, they still have the heritage of giants.

At least on the bench, the quality of Atletico Madrid's players is more than a grade higher than that of Luton's bench!

So Flores also knows that Gao Bo doesn't have much room to adjust on the starting roster - his strongest players are these eleven.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel!

Right-back Mitchell Piran, left-back Alex Sandro, and center-back combination veteran Sol Campbell partnered with Jeffrey.

The three midfielders are Kevin Keane, Kante, and Drinkwater.

The front three are Griezmann, Vardy and Adam White!

This starting lineup has been Luton's most-used starting lineup this season.

In another dressing room, Gao Bo was also frowning at Atletico Madrid's starting roster.

The starting goalkeeper for this game is De Gea!

This season, Atletico Madrid has been swinging a bit in the goalkeeper position. Judging from the number of appearances of De Gea and Asenjo, De Gea has played 17 times this season, and Asenjo has played 21 times this season!

It can be seen from this number of appearances that Atletico Madrid is swinging between two young goalkeepers, De Gea and Asenho.

Gao Bo has drawn a circle in the goalkeeper position, which is where Luton can take advantage.

In the center back combination, the center back combination of Atletico Madrid in this game is Juan Gutierrez Juanito partnered with veteran Luis Perea.

Luis Perea has only recently returned from injury to catch up with this Europa League final, and in fact Atletico Madrid's really strongest central defender should be Colombian central defender Luis Perea and another three. The combination between the twelve-year-old Czech veteran Thomas Ujfalusi!

However, these two veterans have been injured this season. Often Perez returns from injury, and Ujfalusi is injured again, which leads to Atletico Madrid's swing in the center back combination!

So although Atlético de Madrid has two sharp strikers, Diego Forlan is the second-best shot in La Liga, and Aguero ranks third in La Liga's scorer list, Atlético de Madrid, which has these two top scorers in the top scorer list, is In the end, they can only rank eighth in the league - this and their back line cannot be separated from the dry cleaning, and Atlético Madrid have conceded too many goals this season!

Too many goals conceded has also led Atletico Madrid to try to adjust the positions of goalkeeper and central defender this season.

De Gea and Asenjo have been exchanged, but the young goalkeeper is always unstable, and the two veterans at the centre back can't be together for a long time, so the defense always has problems.

Gao Bo drew a circle on Juanito, which is also the key target of Luton!

Left back Antonio Lopez, this is a youth training player of Atlético de Madrid, and is currently the main international player in Spain! With his outstanding performance in the league, he replaced the original Spanish left-back Del Horno to become the main force of the national team.

Can become the regular main force of a strong team like Spain, there is no doubt about the strength of Antonio Lopez. As a product of the team's youth training, today's Antonio Lopez has also replaced the former captain Maxi, who left in the winter window. team leader!

The right back is Pablo Iniesta, who used to play as a central defender, to play right back.

In the middle of the midfield, Paul Asunsson and José Jurado are paired.

Paulo Asuncao is a Brazilian midfielder whose main duty is to defend, while Jurado is a skilled Spanish midfielder who is also the commander of Atlético de Madrid.

On both sides, Reyes on the left and Simao on the right!

These are two names!

Compared with the midfield and the middle, the quick assault of these two on the side is the most important attacking method of Atlético de Madrid!

And the forward line naturally needless to say.

Diego Forlan and Aguero!

Such a front line configuration is luxurious!

Gao Bo drooled at Atletico Madrid's frontcourt configuration, but sneered at the combination of Flores' midfield and midfield!

Compared to Jurado and Asunsang, Gao Bo admires the other two players on the Atletico Madrid bench who can play as a central midfielder.

Raul Garcia and Cardoso Thiago!

Raul Garcia's style is sturdy, but his feet are also delicate. He was the absolute main force of Atlético de Madrid last season, but after Flores came, Garcia's chances of playing were significantly reduced. This season, Raul Garcia has only made 12 starts, compared to the last one. The season's attendance record, Raul Garcia was suddenly put into the cold palace.

This is mainly because Flores doesn't like Raul Garcia's style of play. He prefers the delicate and elegant Spanish midfielder called Jurado.

Flores came to Atletico Madrid under the banner of "returning to Spanish traditions" at Atletico Madrid, so he naturally prefers to use Jurado in midfield rather than Raul Garcia.

Cardoso Thiago was also abandoned by Flores for the same reason. Cardoso's unpretentious style of play is often called "the abandoned one" on the court. The Spanish-style midfield combination that Flores admired was out of place.

If the combination of Raul Garcia and Cardoso Thiago in the middle of the game in this game, Gao Bo dare not pay attention to the opponent's midfield.

But since it's Jurado and Asunsang... then Atletico Madrid will probably suffer some hardships.

......

The players from both sides warmed up on the court one after another, and the stands gradually quieted down.

Fans are waiting for the moment to explode!

Like the calm before the storm.

Everyone is waiting for the moment when players from both teams reappear on the pitch!

At that time, the atmosphere of the stadium may make the whole city shake! ( )
