Chapter 292 King's Cup Final
The news that Wen Zhihao and Atletico Madrid reached a new contract was very sudden to the media, and it could be called an emergency. However, other irrelevant media only briefly covered it. Even the Madrid media and Chinese media that are related to both parties involved concentrated their attention on this news, and it did not exceed three days before and after.
Not that their interest has waned, but that more important games are approaching.
2017-18 Copa del Rey final!
In the football world, attention on the field is always higher than off the field.No matter how high the attention of a player is, it needs performance on the court to maintain it.
The Madrid media and the Chinese media are looking forward to whether Wen Zhihao can perform well after the salary increase and prove his value of the maximum salary.
Facing Barcelona, the defending champion of the Copa del Rey in the final, can be said to be the best opportunity.
The day before the game, Atletico Madrid arrived in Seville, a city in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. According to the arrangement of the Spanish Football Association, this season's Copa del Rey final will be played at Seville's home stadium, Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, referred to as Pizjuan Stadium.
Three hours before the game, a large number of media and fans cheered each other outside the venue.Wear cheering uniforms with the team's logo clearly on them.Although the main colors of the two teams are similar, they are still easy to distinguish.Because the two sides don't like each other, they automatically draw a clear line, and it is obvious that the two sides are two opposing camps.
Barcelona fans looked at Atletico Madrid with somewhat unkind eyes.After all, in the face of an opponent who didn't take it very seriously in the past few seasons, and suddenly double-killed their home team in the league this season, and now they are going to compete for the cup championship with their favorite team, few people can really balance their hearts.
Atletico Madrid fans are now full of superiority.They have been suppressed by the "Western Super Duo" for too long. Although there are rumors of the top three in La Liga, only Atletico Madrid fans know that they have been swallowing their breath in the cracks between Barcelona and Real Madrid, especially when facing these two groups of fans.
But now it's different.Atletico Madrid fans have a sense of joy that the world has changed and the serfs have turned into landlords. Facing Barcelona, the defeated player, they also began to try to let their opponents experience the sense of being looked down upon.
Fans of wealthy clubs tend to have relatively strong self-esteem. It is strange that they feel comfortable being looked down upon so nakedly.Fans from both sides almost broke out in a physical conflict outside the stadium. Fortunately, the local police anticipated this situation and deployed a lot of police forces around the stadium to nip the conflict in the bud.
Trying to beat someone was unsuccessful, and the players from both sides scolded each other outside the court.A fight between two groups of people in China is called a group fight. This is a typical group scolding. The characteristic is that the two sides can't hear what the other party is scolding at all. They just grin their teeth and spit at each other. The scene is even more noisy and chaotic than the early morning farmers' market in China.
Of course, there is another very important picture. Various cheering slogans and portraits about Wen Zhihao and Messi can be seen everywhere among the two groups of fans, and the eyes of the crowd are discerning.Fans' preferences also reflect the two key figures in determining the title.
The Copa del Rey final was originally a relatively tasteless championship title compared to the league and the Champions League, but the situation is different this season.Atletico Madrid wants to strive for the Triple Crown, and this champion with insufficient gold content cannot be let go.Barcelona, on the other hand, lost the league championship and were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Like last year, they can only take the Copa del Rey championship as a consolation prize.
And even this consolation prize is not easy to win. Last season's opponents in the Copa del Rey final, Alaves and Barcelona, are not at the same level. This year, when they meet Atletico Madrid, Barcelona is relatively weak.
"Barcelona must not rely too much on Messi and Suarez if they want to gain an advantage in the hands of Atletico Madrid. They must maintain smooth pass control for a long time, keep the ball as much as possible in the Atletico Madrid half, and at the same time, do not try to press the overall pressure. The lesson of Real Madrid is a lesson from the past. It is absolutely unwise to compete with the current Atletico Madrid. Wen Zhihao is an expert in this field." Catalonia TV commentator sharply pointed out that Barcelona must pay attention to one point.
Atletico Madrid's supporters are relatively optimistic. He Wei believes that as long as Atletico Madrid can not be disrupted by the opponent's pass control, the longer the delay, the better.
"After this season's double play, Atletico Madrid faces Barcelona again. Not only is there no pressure, but it should be the more dominant side psychologically. However, the final is still somewhat different. Barcelona's final experience is undoubtedly richer. Atletico Madrid's first task is not to be disrupted by Barcelona's pass control."
……
It can be said that the players of both sides have a narrow road to each other, and the enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Even in the procedural handshake before the game, you can see the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.When Wen Zhihao and He walked past Pique, Pique stretched out his hand to touch with displeasure on his face, and said softly, "Young man, this is the final field. Compared with me, you are still too young!"
Wen Zhihao's face remained unchanged, and he walked over with a calm smile all the time. Pique felt that his warning had no effect at all, and he also had a feeling of being ignored, which made him very frustrated.
"Wait and see! I will let you know what the final is." Pique swore secretly in his heart.
Having already suffered losses from Wen Zhihao twice, Pique was determined not to have a third time.There are no more than three things, once or twice can be said to not pay enough attention and be careless.Three or four times that is my own problem.Even if the coaches and fans still trust him, he himself will not allow it.This is the confidence and self-esteem of a top central defender.
The two sides were ready, and the referee Lahoz blew the opening whistle.This is the second time Lahoz has enforced the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona this season. Although sometimes there are some controversial penalties, generally speaking, the comprehensive level of referees in La Liga is very outstanding.The list of referees who have been shortlisted for the World Cup is very likely to win the Spanish Golden Whistle again.
Barcelona took the lead in the first half. In this final, they won the home lottery, while Atletico Madrid was the away lottery. They had the first wave of possession in the first half and had the opportunity to attack Atletico Madrid first.
However, Barcelona is not in a hurry, or it is related to the title of champion and runner-up. They are very cautious, control the ball through uniform passing, and advance slowly. Obviously, they are a giant with a lot of experience in the finals.
Wen Zhihao is also patiently observing the opponent's pass control, learning how to control a final.
Although Wen Zhihao has made great achievements so far, he is still a rookie when facing the final.The only final experience was the Dutch Cup final last season.However, the Eredivisie team's style of play is relatively open and their level is limited.Wen Zhihao still needs to learn how to face the top European giants in the final.
So he was not in a hurry in the opening stage. While paying attention to the overall situation, he was also speculating on the intention of Barcelona's every pass.
The ancestors said, learn to fight in war.Learning from opponents in actual combat is the fastest and most effective way.
