Chapter 234 resounds throughout North America!Come to Atletico Madrid, it’s impossible not to get involved! [A big chapter with [-] words, please beg me to subscribe]

After coaching Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao truly came into contact with the core of European football.

In his previous life, almost the vast majority of domestic fans only saw the four major leagues, and maybe even only the stars of those wealthy teams, but it was often easy to ignore that behind the glory of the wealthy teams and stars, there was the support The pedestal of the entire European football world.

That's youth training.

Europe's youth training teams are densely packed, and almost every village and every region has teams of varying sizes.

They will form cooperative relationships with various clubs.

This relationship is like tiny capillaries forming an incredibly complex network.

In addition to this network and connections, competition is also a very important part.

Just like Messi has been playing in age-group leagues, age-group Copa del Rey every year since he joined Atletico Madrid, as well as some cups and invitational tournaments organized by UEFA, as well as invitational tournaments organized by various clubs, the National Football Association, etc. .

The youth team games are not intense, but there are a lot of them.

So much so that they can play three or four cup competitions in a summer.

The improvement brought to players by this intensive competition is obvious.

It is precisely because players have experienced many, many games that they are basically familiar with various technical movements, which eventually evolved into an instinctive reaction.

This is also a kind of practice makes perfect.

But it is precisely in this case that whenever a certain player of a club shows a superior level, it is immediately obvious that he is in the pocket.

Long before the Bosman Act, if a team wanted to be competitive, it basically relied on its own youth training.

But after that, the mobility of players greatly improved, and they obviously gathered towards the top leagues and top teams.

In the years before and after the turn of the century, the value of players was generally not very high. From the league to the club, labor was divided and cooperated to maintain a certain balance.

But this balance has obviously been broken in the past two years.

A very obvious trend is that Manchester United signs Rooney!
Many people may find it strange, what's the point?

As the future ace star of the British Empire, is the transfer fee of 3700 million euros expensive?

It's really not expensive.

But this is only the transfer fee on the surface. In fact, deep down, it reflects that the competition for players among European clubs has reached a fierce stage.

That is, when all teams have finished recruiting mature stars, they start recruiting immature players.

This was already very obvious in Yang Hao's previous life.

The funniest thing is that even Real Madrid has begun to recruit young players around the age of 16, and they all cost tens of millions of euros.

It is conceivable to what extent the talent shortage has reached.

Of course, the so-called talent shortage here refers to high-level high-quality player talent.

So much so that players like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Enderrick and other players were immediately captured by Real Madrid as soon as they showed up.

In hindsight, was it successful?
Some succeed and some fail, this is normal.

And this trend will become more and more obvious in the next few years.

Fortunately, Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid have now completed their layout in advance.

After five years of continuous investment, Atletico Madrid's scouting network has been very complete, its youth training system is also very mature, and its experience in training players is also very rich. In the past few years, it has been continuously producing its own youth training players.

It includes not only Messi, Ramos, David Silva and Modric selected by Yang Hao in advance, but also players like Gabi, Antonio Lopez, etc., all of which belong to Atletico Madrid's youth training.

In the past few years, Atletico Madrid's youth training has also released a group of young players every year. Although they are not strong enough to play for Atletico Madrid, they can play in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, or the Spanish Second League.

Atletico Madrid also frequently goes out to play exchange games and invitational matches of all age groups every year to allow players to adapt to the level of players of the same age in various countries, and at the same time, it also inspects outstanding players from various countries.

The player Yang Hao is seeing now was discovered by Atletico Madrid's scouting team in the youth team's invitational tournament.

That is the 14-year-old Belgian player Hazard.

……

After Yang Haozai carefully looked at Hazard's information, he called Mendiodo and Caminero.

In less than 3 minutes, the two men came over from the office next door.

"You're 14 years old, what are you going to do?" Yang Hao asked.

According to current FIFA regulations, cross-border transfers are not allowed in this age group, so we must find a way.

"We have already communicated with their family, and they said they can move their family here and live near us, but we need to provide financial subsidies, and the price has also been negotiated, and it is within the acceptable range."

"Another point is that their other three children will also enter our youth training camp."

After Mendiodo finished speaking, Yang Hao nodded and agreed, "This is simple."

With that said, he signed the document directly.

"I just watched him play in the system. He was pretty good. We need to focus on cultivating this kid. Should he be in U14 now?"

As soon as Yang Hao finished speaking, Caminero shook his head and smiled: "No, no, no, we are considering letting him enter the U15."

At this age, the one-year gap is actually quite big, especially in terms of body.

"We are currently in this echelon with Isco and Koke, and so is De Gea."

"Okay, you can arrange the details. I like this guy very much. Keep an eye on him." Yang Haoduo said.

Caminero and Mendiotto looked at each other with an expression that I knew was coming.

Yang Hao likes this type of players very much. From Messi to Iniesta to David Silva and Modric, they are all technical players with strong abilities.

But Yang Hao was thinking more: Unexpectedly, this kid Azar fell into my hands. How should I train him?

In his previous life, Yang Hao also liked this ball-playing king. There are many theories about his subsequent fall.

Some said it was his personal reasons, some said it was injuries, and some said it was a problem with the Real Madrid team doctor. Who knows?
Many times, fans outside can only know a little bit from some revealed information. Hazard had not published his autobiography at the time, so Yang Hao naturally didn't know what was going on.

But one thing is certain.

This guy is a bit Buddhist, which is not acceptable.

When you come to our Atletico Madrid, you will be influenced by what you hear and see: if you don’t go all out, don’t involute, and don’t do 996, can you do it?
Atletico Madrid does not sign many youth training players every year, only a few dozen, but each one must be confirmed by Yang Hao, and even then submitted to Calderon's administrative department for further confirmation. The administrative department will submit and handle various procedures, including some gray processing methods.

At present, FIFA is not particularly strict about this kind of cross-border player transfer, but it will be more troublesome in a few years.

"Cesar, please inform the scouts over there in South America to help me bring these three people over."

Yang Hao handed over a piece of paper with a total of three names written on it, as well as their teams, which were all included in Atletico Madrid's scouting system.

This is the benefit of having a system.

The explanation given by Yang Hao was that he looked around in the system and found that these players had great potential and became interested.

With his current identity and status, if he is really interested, it is very normal for scouts to come over for a trial training.

"Forward Luis Suarez of Club Nacional of Uruguay, 18 years old."

"Center defender Diego Godin of Atlético Cerro, Uruguay, 19 years old."

"Marcelo, Fluminense, Brazil, 17 years old."

Cesar Mendiodo was still very convinced of Yang Hao's vision in selecting people. Since Yang Hao said he wanted to see it, he would do it right away.

Suarez and Godin are easy to deal with, after all, they are over their age, but this Marcelo...

"You'll check it out first. If you think it's suitable, you make the decision. You can sign it first and come back when you're old enough."

Yang Hao said to Mendiodo with a smile.

The transfer of young players in Brazil is a big problem now. No one can leave before they are 18 years old.

As for Marcelo's performance, Yang Hao believes that Mendiot's vision will not make him wrong.

This is the future top left back in the world. It is even said that the number one ranking is controversial, but the top three is definitely a super strong left back.

Moreover, this kid is in the same league as Alves, both with excellent foot skills.

Yang Hao is now consciously building a right wing combination of Alves and Messi, and adding a left wing, those two wings will be enough.

……

As usual, the first day of team training is still open to the media and fans.

More than a hundred media reporters from all over the world, as well as fans who had registered with the club in advance, all entered Mahdahonda. They saw Atletico Madrid stars returning to Mahdahonda one after another.

And they all drive Audis.

Everyone discovered that not only the players who had no competition duties in the summer, but also Kaka and Maicon, who played in the Confederations Cup final, returned to the club on time to report.

The old rule is to go for a physical examination on the first day.

This time, it is clear at a glance who is self-disciplined and who is slacking off.

In the past few years, Atletico Madrid has also devised many weird and bizarre punishment methods for tormenting players, which attracted the attention of the media reporters and fans present.

Even big names such as Torres and Drogba are still punished.

The training atmosphere is also quite lively.

The relaxed atmosphere in Atletico Madrid's dressing room can easily be felt by everyone.

People from the new media working group are also filming, and after editing, they will be posted on websites such as YouTuTieTie to share and interact with fans around the world.

The current Atletico Madrid division is the division with the most fans of Youtu Turtles. It can be said that it is a must-have favorite for those who visit Youtu Turtles.

I also posted a funny commercial that Torres shot for Nike and a funny commercial that Kaká shot for Adidas, both of which went viral on YouTube, causing hundreds of thousands of fans and followers to forward and discuss them.

This summer, Atletico Madrid will go to the United States to play the Spanish Super Cup, so they have also stepped up their efforts to warm up online.

Before training, Yang Hao had a brief conversation.

The two days in Madrid are mainly about the players' physical examination and adjustments. The team's real training camp is in Tokyo, Japan.

Different from previous years, Atletico Madrid fully considers the opinions of past players, so during this Tokyo training camp, it will arrange a visit and travel for the players' families, and the same will be done after the team arrives in the United States.

This is also the advice of Mahdahonda psychological experts. They all believe that long-term training away from home leads to long-term separation of players from their families. This is not very good and some adjustments need to be made.

The players are also very interested in this and are even considering letting their families travel to Asia.

Atletico Madrid tour group, let’s go!

……

When the team returned to Narita Airport in Japan, they were warmly welcomed by many fans.

Atletico Madrid still wore the same uniform for this trip, wearing suits tailor-made for the team by team sponsor Armani. They looked like a true team of male models.

Yang Hao walked at the front of the team, followed by Baraja, Kaká, Torres, Xabi Alonso and others. The Japanese fans watching the scene could not help but scream.

Especially the female fans screamed so hard that Yang Hao couldn't help but think back to those teachers in his previous life.

It's a pity that I have been to Japan so many times and never had the opportunity to visit the teachers in a class.

Mr. Ozawa should have retired last year, and now Mr. Matsushima is in charge.

It's a pity that our current status is no longer suitable.

Being a celebrity is not free in this way.

This time Atletico Madrid went to Japan to play a game, which was led by Japan's Fuji TV, and was co-sponsored and hosted by many famous Japanese brands. Therefore, Atletico Madrid's subsequent games and training in Japan will be reported and broadcast live by Fuji TV.

Of course, for training, you must first obtain Yang Hao's permission before filming.

In addition, Atletico Madrid has also invited reporters from more than a dozen team media, as well as Atletico Madrid’s internal new media working group, press and public relations department, marketing department, etc.

The group of people can be described as vast, and the lineup is unprecedentedly large.

Even the Japanese media exclaimed, “This is the largest European powerhouse team ever to visit Japan.”

"They even want to move the entire Madrid base to Tokyo!"

This kind of rhetoric is of course an exaggeration, but the effect is very good, and Japanese fans just like it.

Therefore, almost everywhere Atletico Madrid goes, it will arouse fanatical pursuit by fans.

But apart from open days and outings, Atletico Madrid basically concentrates on preparations at its training ground in Yokohama, Japan.

The physical reserve training created by Ortega and Rocca for the team is becoming more and more intense, squeezing the players' physical potential every year. This has led to Atletico Madrid now being the most capable team in European football.

So why does Yang Hao have to rotate?

Say a team and all the fans will know it.

That's Arsenal.

Fans can make fun of this team with a lot of jokes, but they cannot deny one thing, that is, during Wenger's coaching period, Arsenal's passing football was indeed very good to watch.

But this good looks is based on the fact that they collapse in the second half of every season.

Why did it crash?

One collapse, two collapses, can be said to be accidents, but there must be a reason for this happening every season.

The answer is that their physical fitness cannot keep up.

The main force consumes too much and runs a lot in every game. When it comes time to rotate, the gap between the strength of the substitutes and the main force is huge, causing the team to lose.

This is exactly the same as Real Madrid's situation in previous seasons.

The movement of Arsenal players is the basis of their passing and cutting style.

Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid and Guardiola's Barcelona both adopt a similar style of play.

To control the ball and ensure the success rate of passing, everyone must run and the distance between players must be controlled as much as possible.

To put it simply, when every player gets the ball, there must be at least two to three receiving points around him.

In this case, the technical skills of all players who can play for Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona will not panic no matter how many pressings they encounter.

But this requires everyone to run.

Yang Hao has repeatedly instilled these in the players before.

The playing styles of the three teams may seem similar, but in fact they are very different.

Wenger's Arsenal rarely adopt high positions. They usually lose the ball in the frontcourt and retreat immediately to ensure the team's defensive order, so they need traditional defensive players like Gilberto Silva and Vieira. Midfielder: After grabbing the ball in the own half, he passes through the midfield as soon as possible and uses the speed of the frontcourt players to create a threat.

So, what is the most eye-catching thing about Cesc Fabregas right now?
Overhead pass.

And imagine, what kind of situation would it take for him to pass this kind of ball?
The opponent's defense needs to press out, there is space behind them, and at the same time, our own speedy players need to pick up the ball.

In theory, Arsenal doesn't have much midfield possession.

This is the main tone of Arsenal.

But Wenger has coached Arsenal for so many years, and the transition from offense to defense has never been well positioned, even in the season when he won the championship undefeated.

In fact, Barcelona cannot call it passing and cutting, but should be called passing and controlling, with the emphasis on the word "control".

Starting from this point, you will find that Barcelona's core idea is: as long as I control the ball as much as possible, then you will have no ball, and then I will be invincible.

An extension is that after grabbing the ball, they often don't go for a quick counterattack immediately, but stabilize the ball first; when they lose the ball, they often grab the ball directly in the high position and give the ball to the opponent as soon as possible. Take it back.

This makes Barcelona often adopt a high defense. As long as Barcelona gets the ball, they will do their best to suppress the opponent in the half court and in the penalty area. The tighter the better.

Then, they will use their cross passes and pulls to constantly mobilize the opponent's defensive players. Once a loophole appears, it will penetrate like mercury, thereby disintegrating the opponent's defense.

Yang Hao had tried high position before and kept suppressing his opponents, but later he found that Atletico Madrid didn't use it effectively.

Mainly because many players are not used to it.

So now the strategy is to grab the first shot if you can, and retreat if you can't. According to the opponent's situation, the defense is arranged from the outside of the opponent's 30-meter zone to near the midline, leaving more space for the opponent to press out.

In this case, Atletico Madrid's defensive midfielder cannot be Vieira or Gilberto Silva. They are too tall and have poor running coverage ability. It is best to be someone like Xavi Alonso or Atletico Madrid. Like Kos Senna or Mascherano.The biggest difference from Arsenal is that Atletico Madrid will have more midfield ball control when attacking, especially increasing lateral pulls and long pass transfers from the wings.

After Kaka matured, Atletico Madrid had multiple routes for quick counterattacks. In this regard, Atletico Madrid would say that they are the second in the world, and no team in the world dares to say that they are the first in the world.

But the real problem lies in positional warfare.

"In several games last season, especially the two rounds of the semi-finals against Chelsea, we pressed too hard. We should leave some space for our opponents. From the 30-meter line to the front of the penalty area, we should have more space. A lot of lateral transfer.”

"The purpose of this is to fully mobilize the opponent's defense and force them to move."

It is impossible for the opponent's defense to cover such a large area.

With four people on a defensive line, how could they possibly cover the entire width of the court?

A large-scale transfer of the two wings can easily form a one-on-one situation on the wings, and then the personal abilities of Atletico Madrid players can be effective.

Many of these concepts have been emphasized and adhered to by Yang Hao in the past, and players are familiar with them.

The difference is that when facing Chelsea last season, Atletico Madrid couldn't come up with a good solution when facing a shrinking Chelsea.

Yang Hao now gives his own countermeasures, which is to learn from Barcelona and pull horizontally.

It is not the kind of long-range transfer of long passes, but through lateral passes in front of the opponent's iron barrel or dribbling inside, inducing the opponent's defensive players to be inconsistent, thereby creating loopholes that do not exist, and then attacking.

As long as you think about it, you will know that it is very difficult to do it. The opportunity is often just a moment, and you have to try again and again in the game.

But looking at the world of football, there are only a handful of players worthy of Atletico Madrid doing this.

Mourinho's team is almost the most difficult to deal with. Yang Hao several times asked players such as Messi, Iniesta, Franck Ribery and Robben to rely on their personal abilities to dribble the ball, cut inside, and all play. No result.

As for the traditional three-piece suit, it is of no use to a team of Chelsea's level.

As for high center forwards, they have Terry, Gallas and Carvalho, so they are not afraid.

Set ball?
Then you have to make the opponent foul first.

But teams who are familiar with Mourinho or at the same level know that they will not easily give their opponents free kick opportunities in the frontcourt. Even if they are to foul, they will try their best to do so in a non-threatening area.

And what about corner kicks?

Generally, if you want to get a corner kick against a defensive team, you have to break through to the bottom line and cross to create it.

This actually requires large-scale transfer and then using personal abilities to break out.

Opponents will not give opportunities easily.

As for the long-range shot, it’s even more difficult. There are people in front of the opponent’s goal. How to hit it?
The most typical example is Yang Hao's previous life in the 09/10 season, when Mourinho's Inter Milan faced the heyday of Barcelona.

两回合比分是3比1和0比1，国米总比分3比2晋级。

But if you look carefully, you will find that in the first round of the game, except for taking advantage of Inter Milan's intensive defense and scoring 1 goal before they could coordinate, Barcelona had nothing to do against Inter Milan at other times.

Instead, the opponent scored 3 goals in a row.

In the second round, this situation became even more obvious. Thiago Motta was sent off with a red card in the 27th minute. One player was missing for more than an hour, but Inter Milan managed to hold on until the 84th minute. The situation was basically decided. Barcelona pressed almost all players, and there were people inside and outside the Inter Milan penalty area, so they took advantage of the chaos and scored a goal.

Moreover, it seemed that Pique was offside in that goal, but because it had nothing to do with the overall situation, no one pursued it.

It can be said that there is almost no effective way to break the intensive defense, especially the intensive defense put on by top-level teams like Mourinho's Chelsea, and can only rely on constant cross-passing and pulling.

This is what Yang Hao now hopes the players will strengthen.

Some people may ask, if it is so unsolvable, then all teams should do it.

Note that the premise is that they are at the same level, or there is not much difference in strength.

If they are in the middle of La Liga, or even teams like Valencia and Sevilla, the iron barrel formation they set up, if the players are in good condition, Atletico Madrid can make a breakthrough by relying on their personal ability.

But when they reach the level of Mourinho and Chelsea, they are generally unwilling to adopt such an extremely passive style of play.

Even if they win, for example, if Mourinho's Chelsea win, what will the reputation be like?
Atletico Madrid lost, but not only did it not affect the status of the Sheets in European football, it actually made it higher than before.

Why?

Because Atletico Madrid forced Chelsea to this point where they had no way out and were forced to adopt an iron barrel formation.

Looking at European football, besides Atletico Madrid, who has this ability?

……

Atletico Madrid's training camp in Japan, in addition to physical reserves, Yang Hao is also adjusting some of the team's playing styles and ideas based on last season's situation, so that players can make some adjustments in time during the game.

During the two-week training camp, Yang Hao gave the team two days off.

One of the days was a group outing, decided by everyone's vote, to Mount Fuji.

Another time when family members came to visit, Yang Hao allowed everyone to move around freely.

After two weeks of training, Atletico Madrid ushered in the first warm-up match of their Asian tour, against the Yokohama F. Marinos.

This game attracted more than 7 fans, filling the Yokohama International Arena to capacity.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated its opponent 3-1 in the game and won its first victory in the warm-up match.

In the next two games, the opponents were both Japanese J-League teams, Urawa Red Diamonds and Kashima Antlers. Atletico Madrid won 2-0 and 3-0 respectively.

The game against Urawa Red Diamonds attracted 63700 people, while the game against Kashima Antlers only had 4 people.

It’s not that Atletico Madrid’s appeal has declined, it’s because Kashima Antlers’ home court capacity is only so small.

In the three games in Japan, Atletico Madrid once again aroused a wave of enthusiasm from Japanese fans.

Every game allows Japanese fans to feel the strength of Europe's top teams up close. Strong teams like the J-League have little power to parry in front of Atletico Madrid.

All Japanese fans can also see that if they played with real guns, these J-League teams would have been beaten to a pulp by Atletico Madrid.

Yang Hao's arrangements for these three warm-up matches were as always. One team for each half, with all players replaced, including the goalkeeper.

After playing three games in Japan, Atletico Madrid flew to Seoul, South Korea without stopping.

The whirlwind caused by Atletico Madrid in Japan has already swept South Korea.

In this game in Seoul, the opponent was not the Korean team, but Real Mallorca from La Liga.

Real Mallorca recently signed a Japanese player with the aim of developing the Japanese market, so after playing this pre-season game, they will go to Japan next and take advantage of Atletico Madrid's remaining heat to play two pre-season games. race.

According to feedback from La Liga, La Liga copyrights are very popular in Japan and South Korea, and even in Asia.

This is also related to the active promotion and development of La Liga teams.

This game in Seoul, South Korea, attracted 7 people. The game was 1-0, and Atletico Madrid won a small victory.

Atletico Madrid's current state has not been adjusted yet, and Yang Hao is not worried at all.

After playing in South Korea, Atletico Madrid flew to Indonesia without stopping and defeated Getafe 2-0.

After that, he flew to Australia and played a pre-season game in Sydney and Melbourne. The opponents were Espanyol and Zaragoza respectively. Atletico Madrid won 2-0 and 1-1, winning one and drawing one.

After the game, Atletico Madrid flew directly from Australia to New York.

……

This year, the three heroes of the Western Premier League are working together in a division of labor.

Real Madrid is on the west coast of the United States, Barcelona is on the east coast of the United States, and Atletico Madrid is in Asia and Oceania.

After Atletico Madrid finished playing in Asia, when they flew from Australia to New York, they just caught up with the enthusiasm of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Today, Barcelona is still in Mexico, and Real Madrid is flying from Canada to Europe.

As the face of La Liga, the three heroes of La Liga are very conscious and shoulder the heavy responsibility of global promotion.

This is also of great benefit to them.

After Atletico Madrid arrived in New York, after taking a short rest, they participated in a commercial event organized by Nike in New York.

Starting from this season, Atletico Madrid and Nike will officially fulfill their seven-year sponsorship contract worth 7 million euros.

According to preliminary estimates from Atletico Madrid's Finance Department, Atletico Madrid's commercial revenue will increase significantly this season, because the new contract between the jersey chest advertisement and Emirates Airlines will also be implemented this year.

With these two deals alone, Atletico Madrid can get close to 5 million euros a year.

This is actually not much, but for Atletico Madrid, it is already a leap forward.

In the past few years, Atletico Madrid's revenue has been growing rapidly every year, especially on a global scale.

Although the current financial statistics are not over yet, it is expected that Atletico Madrid's revenue will exceed 04 million in the 05/2 season.

This is due to the team's increasingly better business operations and the benefits brought by the team's outstanding performance in the Champions League.

But Fernando Vazquez, the god of wealth, made a rough estimate and found that Atletico Madrid should be ranked 5th or 6th.

It all depends on how Chelsea does the accounting.

Many people now know that Chelsea's commercial sponsorship is a confusing matter. How much is true and how much is false is unclear to outsiders.

Leaving aside Chelsea, Atletico Madrid should be ranked fifth, less than the four teams of Real Madrid, Manchester United, AC Milan and Juventus, but Barcelona is said to be able to break 5 million euros this year.

Sometimes we have to admit that the wealth of wealthy families is reflected here, and their income increases too fast.

The match-day income from each game at Camp Nou is enough to make Atletico Madrid cry with envy.

Not only is Real Madrid's Bernabeu bigger than Calderon, it has more boxes than Calderon, but also their commercial corner, the annual rent is a very astonishing figure.

All of these are incomparable.

But in the 05/06 season, with the implementation of two new contracts, Atletico Madrid's income is expected to reach a higher level. By then, it may not be able to surpass Serie A teams and catch up with Real Madrid and Manchester United.

If you want to catch up, you must wait until the new stadium is opened.

Real Madrid is now approaching the 3 million euro line and is the club with the highest revenue in European football, surpassing Manchester United.

Therefore, Yang Hao has always felt that Florentino is really a business genius.

Judging from Real Madrid's recruitment efforts this summer, as long as Real Madrid's performance in the European war is not bad in the new season, it is certain to break 3 million euros, then they will become the first football club in history to break 3 million euros.

Now, everyone is thinking that losing Beckham will have a huge impact on Manchester United's commercial value.

In turn, Real Madrid, with the help of Beckham and superstars, has been actively exploring the European, North American and Asian markets, and it has always been unfavorable.

As for Atletico Madrid, they are now starting to exert their strength.

Torres, Kaká, Xabi Alonso and others have all become iconic stars of the team, and their commercial value is increasing.

The most obvious thing is that after the team arrived in the United States, when they participated in Nike events, countless fans came after hearing the news, and they all came after Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid stars.

There is no way, there are gains and losses.

With so much money from Nike, you have to participate in some activities, and at the same time actively promote the sales of the team's jerseys and peripheral products. After all, although this is sold through Nike's sales network, Atletico Madrid will get a share. of.

……

Due to a long period of warm-up, the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup held overseas for the first time, Atletico Madrid vs. Real Betis, was held at the Metropolitan Stadium in New York.

This game attracted more than 8 fans, which was a huge crowd.

This must be the attraction of Atletico Madrid.

If the opponent is a wealthy team like Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​I believe that more fans will definitely grab their heads and it will be difficult to get a ticket.

But unfortunately, according to the rules of the Super Cup, Atletico Madrid, as the double champion, will face the runner-up of the Copa del Rey, Real Betis.

Since it was an official game and a two-round cup match, Yang Hao did not dare to be careless about this game and compiled the strongest lineup of 433.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech;
Defence: Evra, Thiago Silva, Lucio and Maicon;
Midfield: Xabi Alonso deep, Iniesta and Kaká in the centre;

Forwards: Villa, Torres and Robben.

This starting lineup not only takes into account the team's appearance partners, but also takes into account the team's competitiveness.

The reason why Thiago Silva can start is that on the one hand he performed well during the warm-up match, and another point is that the previous tuberculosis incident caused huge repercussions around the world, and Thiago Silva was the protagonist. .

Therefore, in this game, Carlos Leo talked with Yang Hao and hoped to arrange for him to start and contribute to the further promotion of the team in the United States.

Yang Hao himself thought about it and thought it was harmless, so he arranged it like this.

Only 15 seconds into the game, Kaka used a threatening long shot to threaten Real Betis' goal.

Subsequently, Atletico Madrid began to sound the horn of attack.

In the 6th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball from the middle and passed the ball to the right rib. Robben cut inside, suddenly changed direction and threw away the defensive player who was running against him. He kicked the ball and hit the goal, but was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Dobras. out.

Since this is the first time such a formal game is held overseas, it is a bit uncomfortable for the players.

But whether it was Yang Hao or the management of Atletico Madrid and Real Betis who were present before the game, as well as the senior leaders of La Liga, they all had the same attitude.

This is a show, the most important thing is to play well!
Because of this, both teams did not play conservatively.

Atletico Madrid, in particular, launched continuous attacks and the players also played very relaxedly.

For example, in the 12th minute, Iniesta was on the left side of the penalty area, continuously picked the ball past two opposing defenders, broke into the penalty area and kicked the goal.

The ball didn't go in, but the fans at the scene were extremely excited.

Then Atletico Madrid kept attacking, suppressing Real Betis.

But on the one hand, this is Atletico Madrid's first official game, and it is held overseas, causing the team to always follow up with the goal.

Until the 31st minute of the first half, Kaká dribbled the ball in the middle, passed a defensive player, and sent a through ball. Torres instantly shook off the defensive player, broke into the penalty area against offside, and scored with a single pass. Real Betis goal.

1 is better than 0!

Although the stalemate lasted for half an hour, the moment the goal was scored still completely aroused the enthusiasm of more than 8 fans at the scene.

Everyone was cheering wildly, and it seemed that they were not losing to the Spanish fans at all.

Perhaps, in the United States, they cannot enjoy such a wonderful and intense football match.
