Chapter 380 The Starting List
Chapter 380 Starting List
There is a lot of talk outside, but for Atletico Madrid, they are still very calm inside.
On January 7th, after a brief training session in the morning, the players headed to the Calderon Stadium after a lunch break.
The game is played at 7 p.m., and the players arrive at the stadium about two hours early.
After coming out of the hotel, on the bus to Calderon, Gao Bo began to announce the starting list.
The players looked at Gao Bo with great anticipation.
After all, the opponent is a strong team like Barcelona. Who doesn't want to play against such a team?
"Forward! Left... Reyes!"
Gao Bo held an A4 paper in his hand, and all the players were looking at the white copy paper in his hand, as if they could see something from it.
In fact, the players in the back seats couldn't see anything.
"Center...Akun!"
"Oh......"
Diego Costa folded his head into his seat.
He'll be sitting on the bench for another 90 minutes in this game...
"Hey, Diego! I had a hat-trick last round!"
Aguero is very proud! ! !
Sitting behind Diego Costa, he reached out and patted Costa on the shoulder.
Diego Costa simply zipped up his sports jacket and buried his entire face in it.
"On the right...Griezmann!"
"Midfielder! Kante, Raul Garcia Modric!"
"Defenders: Juanfran, Godin, Boateng, Sandro!"
Gao Bo read all the players in one breath, and now it's the goalkeeper's turn.
Asenjo looked nervously at Navas not far away.
He is a little nervous now. He originally thought that after De Gea left, the position of the main goalkeeper should belong to him of course.
As a result, as soon as Navas came, variables appeared again.
Asenho knows Navas' strength from the training in the past few days, but he thinks that he still has an advantage over Navas, that is, his height and arm length, maybe he can control more places than Navas.
"Goalkeeper..."
Gao Bo paused when he said here, and the whispering of the players in the bus stopped.
It seems that Atletico Madrid's players also want to know who is the starting goalkeeper for this game.
"Navas!"
Gao Bo did not keep them waiting too long.
Asenho was a little disappointed when he heard Gao Bo speak.
He used to be the main position of Atlético de Madrid, then De Gea came and took his main position, and now Navas is here again......
Perhaps, there is really no chance at Atletico Madrid.
Asen Ho thought...
Navas was a little excited!
He never dreamed that one day he could start against an opponent like Barcelona!
Navas felt his muscles trembling in the victory - this is the excitement before the battle!
......
The Atlético de Madrid bus pulled into the stadium's parking lot amid cheers from Atlético de Madrid fans.
Gao Bo was the first to get on and off the car, and then took the players into the home team's locker room.
Soon, under the leadership of assistant coach Moya, the players were about to go out to the court to warm up.
And Gao Bo still stayed in the locker room.
The Barcelona side's starter also came out.
Since Busques received a red card at the last minute in the last round, the Barcelona midfielder will be suspended this time!
And to replace him in the starting lineup is Mascherano, who Barcelona introduced from Liverpool this season.
The current little Marco has not been transformed into a central defender by Guardiola, so he is still playing his old job, but in Barcelona, his position is firmly occupied by Busques.
In this game, he also rarely got the opportunity to start the game.
In addition to the position of the midfielder, there is no change in Barcelona's starting position in other positions.
The goalkeeper is still Valdes, the right-back is Alves, and the center-back combination is still Puyol and Pique.
In the left-back position, Barcelona made some adjustments.
Brazilian left-back Adriano replaced Maxwell and started the game.
Midfield is Xavi, Iniesta, Mascherano.
In the forward line, Messi, Villa, Pedro, this is the most commonly used combination in Barcelona.
Gao Bo looked at Barcelona's bench.
On the bench, Barcelona also has a lot of good players.
Barcelona has never been an easy opponent to deal with, and Gao Bo has played against Barcelona twice this season and won both times.
Gao Bo knows that Guardiola will definitely make some changes in this game, otherwise he will not be Guardiola.
Even if it is Gao Bo, after losing to an opponent twice in a row, it must be adjusted.
Gao Bo couldn't see what medicine was sold in Guardiola's gourd from this starting list. If there is any difference between Adriano and Maxwell, there is actually no difference between him.
Maybe Adriano's cross is more accurate?
Gao Bo put Barcelona's starting roster on the table. Since he couldn't see where the opponent's change was, Gao Bo simply put this matter down temporarily, he pulled the tactical board over, and then put the formations of both sides on it. .
433 against 433!
tit for tat!
At this time in the Barcelona dressing room, Guardiola is also watching Atletico Madrid's starting lineup!
Gao Bo really let Navas start? !
Guardiola was a little surprised to see Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper.
He didn't know anything about Navas, he even wanted to find some highlights of Navas' performances in the Costa Rican League. Not easy.
Judging from these short videos, Navas' response was still quick.
But you can't see anything just by looking at the collection.
If you just watch the highlights, and put all the goals of a striker into one video, people who don't know it will think that this guy is the king of the ball...
Guardiola wants to see the videotape of Navas' entire match.
Unfortunately, in the hasty time, Guardiola did not find.
But since Gao Bo chose to send Navas to start, it means that the Costa Rican definitely has a few brushes.
Guardiola still admires Gao Bo's vision.
But how did this Navas... Gao Bo know about the existence of this person? !
Guardiola is hard to understand even if he wants to break his head.
Does Atlético de Madrid have scouts in Costa Rica?
Guardiola couldn't figure it out, so he just didn't think about it!
For Barcelona, of course, this game is about constantly fighting for the attack!
That is to keep the ball at your feet and look for opportunities to shoot in the midfield.
Having lost 1-2 at home to Atlético de Madrid, the current situation is really difficult for Barcelona.
But that doesn't mean Barcelona will be knocked out.
As long as they score at least two goals at the stadium and then win Atletico Madrid, they can be guaranteed a place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.
Barcelona scored two goals?
is it hard?
Of course it's not difficult. Of course they can do it if they perform well enough.
