Chapter 153 Audi Cup Troop Training【First update on Sunday! 】

Simeone's arrangement is very targeted. Wen Zhihao has a strong offensive ability whether he is running in behind, passing the ball or shooting. He is also active in the frontcourt.

Although for high-level European teams, the possibility of a defender making a direct mistake and giving a big gift is less than one in a thousand, but the charm of football lies in the fact that it is full of accidental accidents.

Furthermore, Griezmann’s substitute has always been one of Simeone’s headaches in the past two or three seasons. Currently, the only candidates who can rotate are Angel Correa and Vietto, who has just returned from loan from Sevilla.In the entire first team, only Wen Zhihao is temporarily qualified.

Wen Zhihao, who was moved to the shadow forward position by Simeone, was able to make full use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and quickly found the feeling like a duck in water.Torres and Kevin Gameiro, the current two genuine forwards of the first team, have similar characteristics. They are both sharp-minded striker forwards.

After a few days of training, Wen Zhihao has become the player they are most willing to cooperate with. Wen Zhihao's precise shooting skills from time to time let Torres have a more comprehensive understanding of him, while the Frenchman Gameiro expresses his feelings more directly. After the training, Wen Zhihao warmly invited Wen Zhihao to his villa in the suburbs of Madrid.

After nearly ten days of training, Wen Zhihao's strength and progress are obvious to all. These teammates from the top football powers gradually let go of the last doubts and prejudices.This is obviously a very important benefit for Wen Zhihao's deeper integration into the team.

……

Entering August, Atletico Madrid will gradually start the preparation mode of training with competitions. At the beginning of the month, they will go to Munich, Germany to participate in the Audi Cup, a commercial event held every two years. After that, there will be two warm-up matches before the start of the new season. Simeone attaches great importance to the opportunity of the final pre-season actual training to adjust the lineup.

Most of these first-team stars have family members or girlfriends in Madrid, so before the training day, the main field of the Espino training center is basically empty. Wen Zhihao spent one and a half days training alone, and Wen Zhihao left the training center in the afternoon.

After arriving in Madrid, Wen Zhihao has been living in a five-star hotel very close to the training center. On the first day, he put the matter of finding a house on the agenda, and entrusted Saki to help him look out for a house close to the training center in Madrid. Today, he finally got a reply.

Originally, Saki thought that what Wen Zhihao wanted was a villa, but Wen Zhihao told him that he could only find an apartment building, and he could only rent it for the first year.It's not because Wen Zhihao hypocritically wants to work hard, but because there is not enough money!

After disposing of the villa in Arnhem at a friendly price before, Wen Zhihao left most of the money to his parents to improve the quality of life. This time he came to Madrid, he only had [-] euros on him, which would be enough until the Christmas holiday at the end of the year. Under normal circumstances, it would still be enough, but don’t even think about buying a house. At least until this time next year, when the club has cashed in its salary and bonuses before it can be considered.

But I don't know if it was a coincidence or Saki's careful intentions. The landlord is actually an overseas Chinese who has lived in Madrid for many years.Although this fellow overseas Chinese doesn't pay attention to football, Wen Zhihao admires Wen Zhihao working hard alone in a foreign country, and Wen Zhihao signed a rental contract with him smoothly.Two bedrooms, one living room and a study room are fully furnished, with a total of just over 350 square meters, and the monthly rent is [-] Euros.Wen Zhihao also has a home in Madrid.

Having settled the major issues in life on the rest day, Wen Zhihao can also go to Germany to participate in the Audi Cup without distraction.

The Audi Cup is a commercial football match created by Audi to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the brand's birth. The first competition was held in 2009. It is held every two years, and each session is fixed at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Bayern's home stadium.Although it is a commercial event, due to the global influence of the Audi brand, the quality of each event is very high.Previously invited teams include Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, AC Milan and other prestigious European teams, as well as South American powerhouses such as Sao Paulo and Brazil International.

This year is the first time that Atletico Madrid has been favored by the organizers and invited to participate. The other three teams are the hosts Bayern Munich, Serie A Naples and the "Red Army" Liverpool.

At the same time, the rewards of the Audi Cup are also very strong. The champion will receive a prize of 350 million euros, and the champion members will also be rewarded with an Audi car.

Since it is a commercial event, some off-site publicity activities are naturally indispensable.Before the start of the game, the organizers called the head coaches of the four teams together for a press conference to attract media attention to the event.The various emoticons of the four head coaches Simeone, Klopp, Ancelotti and Sarri at the press conference immediately made headlines on major sports websites.

However, compared to Sarri and Klopp, Simeone called out the goal of winning the championship "unconsciously" at the press conference, which made the organizer's staff dumbfounded.

If it is a key match between the Champions League and La Liga, there is no problem in saying this, but for commercial events, what we want are gimmicks and all kinds of lace!

The staff wanted to ask Simeone what he thought.

Atletico Madrid is also a team that has won championships in La Liga, Copa del Rey, Europa League, Champions League and UEFA Super Cup. They are not so hungry for this dispensable champion, right?

The big names of your team are not short of these millions of euros and an Audi car, right?

The on-site media all understood the nature of this game, and Simeone had already left a not-humorous impression in the minds of these media.

But Simeone said solemnly: "There is no game to lose, we need to use this championship to boost the team's confidence in the new season!"

At the same time, the organizers and the media felt that there was no way to have a good chat.

But this is not the most ruthless, if they hear Wen Zhihao's response, they will really have the urge to beat up.

China is an important market for Audi's global marketing, and Wen Zhihao, who plays for Atlético Madrid, was given the opportunity to be interviewed individually by the organizer.As a result, when Wen Zhihao talked about his goal, he said very bluntly: "I came here for the championship. For others, it is a dispensable honor, but for me, I will not be troubled by bonus prizes, because... I am really short of money!"
