“Welcome.”

Just as it was dawn, the first guest of today appeared in front of a newsstand in the south of Madrid.

The old customer is now, and the newsstand owner greets him kindly.

"Carlos, give me a copy of the Marca as well, thank you." The Spanish middle-aged man outside the newsstand window said while paying for it.

"Sorry, the newspaper has not arrived yet."

The middle-aged man frowned, reading the newspaper was one of his few pastimes.

"I heard that the version is added today." The boss explained.

The regular customer in front of him was a long-distance bus driver who went out early and returned late every day, traveling between Madrid and Barcelona.

At the same time, like most of the residents of the Villaverde area, he is a die-hard fan of Atletico Madrid.

The middle-aged man curled his lips helplessly, "Carlos, what was the score last night?"

"Score?" The newsstand owner was surprised, "Didn't you watch the game last night?"

This is a huge strange thing.

Everyone knows that this guy is the most die-hard fan. All Atletico Madrid games are not lost. Even if you don’t watch the football live, you must watch live TV.

"Don't mention it, the guy who was on the shift with me is sick. I've been exhausted these days. When I came back last night, I slept like a dead pig when I lay on the bed. Do you think I can still watch the game?"

Listening to his tone, he seemed very upset that he had missed such a big battle.

"Then you're really unlucky," said Carlos, the owner of the newsstand, with a smile. "That game last night was 2-0."

"Who wins?" Spanish middle-aged asked anxiously.

"Of course it's...Atlancia Madrid!" Carlos smiled.

"Yeah!" The Spanish middle-aged man waved his fist excitedly outside, "I just said, keep Gao Han, there will definitely be a chance in the new season!"

The newsstand owner found it funny, "How do I remember, you were criticizing the team's signings a few days ago."

"Uh..." Spain's middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, "That's right, I still feel unhappy. I haven't introduced any stars, and I can do it with 2-0. If I increase the intensity of signings and introduce a few more players, it may be 5-0 and 6-0."

This logic... the newsstand owner shook his head laughed and cried, and was also drunk.

"Hey, tell me quickly, who scored the goal?" the middle-aged man outside the window urged.

"Torres, and Kaka!"

"Oh, yeah!" Spain's middle-aged man waved his fist again, "I just said that Torres will definitely become the team's leading scorer, and that Kaka. Brazilian players generally perform well in our La Liga. I am optimistic about him."

The newsstand owner was stunned, "How do I remember, you said before, a player with such a ragged name must not play well?"

"Is there any?" Spanish middle-aged man pretended to be stupid, "Have I ever said that?"

"Nonsense, I remember it!"

"You must have heard it wrong. I have never said that. Even if I want to say it, I will definitely say that if a player with such a special name is definitely playing a great ball!"

The newsstand owner shook his head when he heard it inside. Is this attitude changing too fast?

"By the way, how are the performances of several new players?"

The newsstand owner curled his lips with contempt, thinking that this guy was just a stubborn duck.

"It's not bad. Except for the Czech full-back, everyone else performed well. Right back Dario Serna is the most eye-catching except Kaka. Deco also left a deep impression on people. Carvalho is also very stable and he did not make any mistakes."

"What about Guardiola?"

"Hiss." The newsstand owner gasped, then he remembered the former Barcelona captain.

"After you say that, I think Guardiola seems to behave very well, just keep passing the ball, doing nothing else, and it doesn't look as good as Xavi Alonso. At least, Alonso has a long shot."

But no idea, as soon as he said this, the middle-aged man outside the window smiled.

"Don't you understand the ball anymore?"

The newsstand owner was stunned. I don’t understand football?

I read so many football newspapers and magazines every day, do you think I don’t understand football?

"Let me tell you, in our team's tactical system, the most important thing in the position of No. 4 is stability, passes must be stable, defense must be stable, and everything you do must be stable. So if you don't notice him, it means that his performance must be above the level."

"Is that?" The newsstand owner was a little suspicious.

"Why didn't say that, Mr. Gao Han personally poached and entrusted important tasks, can it be bad?"

Judging from his tone, it seemed that he admired the head coach with great enthusiasm.

But the newsstand owner opened his mouth and wanted to ridicule him. Didn’t you doubt Mr. Gao Han’s vision before?

Why has it changed completely now?

The middle-aged man outside the window didn't care and was still muttering to himself with serene satisfaction.

"Oh, this round is 2-0. If you play the Bernabeu more hard on the away game, maybe there will be a chance!"

As he was talking, he saw a mail truck suddenly stopping on the side of the road. Two people got off and ran to the rear of the car. Each of them carried two large bundles of newspapers and walked over and placed them directly on the window of the newsstand.

The middle-aged man standing outside the window waiting looked at one of the bundles, Maka.

Front page headline: Super showdown!

…………

…………

"The Super Cup is a traditional overture of the new La Liga season, and is known as the opening match of the new season and is highly valued."

"In the new season, Real Madrid has introduced Zidane with a record-breaking price, which has made this debut more special. Not only are the fans of both teams looking forward to it, but they have even attracted the attention of fans all over the world."

"But in such a game, when the superstars of Real Madrid were supposed to be the main character, Atletico Madrid, which was emerging in a sudden force, gave a blow without mercy. With the goals of two young players Torres and Kaka, he defeated the city's 2-0 home game, causing the Galaxy Battleship's debut in the new season to be in a dark game."

In the first team locker room in Mahada Enda Sports City, young player Gabi was holding a newspaper in his hand and reading aloud.

When the other players heard this, they all burst into laughter.

"Atlan Madrid's performance was not ideal during the summer preparations. It sold off many backbone players including Ugo Leyal and Zoran Nicos, and introduced many rookies including Kaka, Deco, and Dario Serna, which made the head coach Gao Han highly questioned."

"But in this critical game, it was precisely these new rookies who joined the team. With their outstanding performance, they not only helped the team defeat Real Madrid, proved their strength, and further cited the vision of head coach Gao Han."

"The best player in the game is Kaka. The team's first goal came from his planning, and he also scored the second goal, but his contribution was not only two goals, he is the most threatening player on the court at Atletico Madrid."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Kaka in unison.

The Brazilian boy looked shy and lowered his head shyly.

"Dario Serner is good at both offense and defense on the right. He actively intervened and frequently participated in midfield ball control and frontcourt offense. He and Marcos Senna almost frozen Zidane."

"This new Croatian right-back assisted Torres in the first record with a wonderful cross, and his active performance on the court made people involuntarily reminiscent of Atletico Madrid captain Juan Aguilera's performance at his peak in the past."

Gabby stopped deliberately when he read this, while the others looked at Dario Serner and Aguilera.

The old captain looked at Serner with appreciation and said, "This evaluation is not too much, but it's just a game. Dario, keep cheering. I believe that as long as you continue to maintain this state and development momentum, you will definitely have the opportunity to become the best right-back in Spain and even European football."

Everyone present was shocked. Aguilera's evaluation was high enough.

Dario Serner thankfully said thank you.

Aguilera smiled again and stood up directly.

"I continue to read, and Matayana's article also mentioned other players and other newspapers, almost all of which were praise." Gabi said excitedly.

This naturally includes himself.

But Aguilera reached out to stop him, "No need, Gaby, don't read it anymore."

Gabby was a little surprised, and the other players looked at the old captain.

Aguilera also looked around the teammates around and said earnestly: "Everyone, I know that we have just completed a difficult game. We won, and we won Real Madrid. This is very difficult. We deserve praise and praise from the outside world."

Everyone present was diǎn's head.

"But I have to remind you that it was just the first leg game and we didn't win. If we use a game as an analogy, then we just completed the first half. With the strength of Real Madrid, we will definitely be able to counterattack our two goals in the second half, or even more."

Aguilera's words made every player in the locker room serious.

The originally relaxed and lively atmosphere in the locker room immediately became solemn.

"Of course, I don't mean that we don't have the power to fight back. On the contrary, in the first round, we used facts to prove that the powerful Real Madrid is not invincible."

Every player present once again diǎn his head seriously.

"But that requires us to be on the battlefield, we need to be cautious and make every effort, we must do our best to show our best strength in order to deal with Real Madrid and even defeat our opponents."

"If we just took the lead in the first half and were blindly careless and carried on our way, then in two days, what we waited for at the Bernabeu Stadium will probably be a shameful reversal!"

The locker room was in a dead silence, and everyone even breathed as lightly as possible.

But outside the locker room, Gao Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Cantalero, Garcia, and the others in the coaching staff were all moved.

"I finally understand why you want to keep these veterans!" Garcia looked at Gao Han with conscience.

Gao Han originally wanted to pour a bucket of cold water on the players, but now it seems... it's unnecessary.

"Let's go and prepare for training. In two days, we will have another fight with Real Madrid!"
Chapter completed!
