The final grouping results are out:

Group A: Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, Tottenham Hotspur, Twente;

Group B: Lyon, Benfica, Schalke 04, Hapoel Tel Aviv;

Group C: Manchester United, Valencia, Rangers, Bussasburg;

Group D: Barcelona, ​​Panathinaikos, Copenhagen, Rubin Kazan;

Group E: Bayern Munich, Roma, Atletico Madrid, Cluj;

Group F: Chelsea, Marseille, Spartak Moscow, Srina;

Group G: Real Madrid, AC Milan, Ajax, Auxerre;

Group H: Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk, Basel, Partizan Belgrade;

When people saw Barcelona's grouping, everyone was shocked.

"Did they save God last season?"

"Is this the work of God?"

"Did Guardiola find a wizard to do something before the lottery?"

It makes no sense at all!

The third team of Dangdang Universe Dream is actually grouped together with a Greek team, a Danish team, and a Russian team!

We can’t even see any weak teams from the five major leagues!

Arsenal has the same good luck, but they have a strong and established Champions League team like Shakhtar in their lineup!

Many people joked that it would be great to directly issue promotion cards, so don’t bother.

And when I saw what happened to Real Madrid.

The outside world was in an uproar, this was too dramatic.

The treatment of the two players in La Liga is really different.

Of course, Atletico Madrid also suffered attacks from two teams that lacked strength.

For Real Madrid, qualifying is not a big problem.

But it may take a lot of trouble and consume a lot of money.

But if Atletico Madrid is a little careless, there may be problems in the group.

For a while.

The two teams in Madrid felt like they were drawn into a designed script.

...

Simeone has other headaches when he returns to Madrid.

September 3rd to September 7th is the national team match day.

Various national teams also send their call-up lists to clubs.

Simeone looked at the list and saw that one head was bigger than three.

As soon as the league started, there was a national team match day.

Colombia called up: Perea;

Also called up by Brazil: David Luiz;

Portugal has called up: Paulo Assuncao;

Spain U19 call-ups: Cork;

Spain has called up: Reyes, Lopez, De Gea;

The team suddenly lost 7 first-team players.

The only good news is that Aguero automatically acquired Spanish citizenship as his second nationality because his time was up.

This way, registration in Santa Cruz is no longer an issue.

Atletico Madrid rushed to complete the registration of Santa Cruz at the last minute.

But Herman once again brought bad news: "Boss, the Netherlands, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile may all be recruited one after another."

"For the competition on September 13, it is recommended to focus on rest!"

Simeone threw the splint in his hand to the ground. He now realized what happiness and pain coexist.

What is the pain of a wealthy head coach!

As soon as it's national team game day.

The training base can't even organize intra-team competitions.

Football associations and youth teams in various countries can draw a large number of people away for you!

...

Atletico Madrid's first game of the new season is coming soon.

On August 31st, the new Atletico Madrid appeared on the La Liga field.

They will face Sporting Gijon at the Calderon Stadium!

As the first game of the new season, Simeone is determined to win for the team!

Create a good start!

Lindy also said in an interview:

"We are also facing a third-line battle this season. Being able to hit a higher position in the early stages of the league will be very helpful for us this season!"

"The players and I are very confident!"

In the first round of La Liga, Simeone deployed the entire main lineup, a standard 442 formation.

On the back line, the conservative combination of Lopez, David Luiz, Godin and Perea was chosen.

For Simeone, the tacit understanding between David Luiz and Godin is very important. They can work together more now to find problems.

In the midfield, the combination of Reyes, Lindy, Thiago and Sanchez is arranged in a regular manner.

Van der Vaart, Garcia, De Bruyne and others continued to serve as substitutes.

Aguero and Costa are still on the front line.

Santa Cruz has only been here for three days and he needs to prove himself in training.

Simeone's conservative style of play in this game caught Sporting Gijon by surprise.

With the introduction of a large number of new players, Atletico Madrid's midfield has not undergone major changes.

And their defense has become more solid.

Lindy's interception in the middle had already caused them a lot of trouble last season.

Now it's not just a strong midfield, but an even stronger back line.

18th minute of game time.

Sanchez's cross from the right wing allowed Aguero to take the lead for Atletico Madrid.

The young player, who was about to celebrate his 22nd birthday, flew over to grab the shot at the near post.

The Pope's namesake Sporting Gijon defender Grigory was caught off guard.

Atletico Madrid's right wing has become extremely active after the introduction of Sanchez.

The Chilean winger now likes the atmosphere inside Atletico Madrid. He has changed his habit of dribbling alone and continues to practice passing.

In today's competition, his hard training finally paid off.

Different from the definition of winger in later generations, in the current tactical time.

Most wingers are required to have the ability to pass the ball, but also have the skills to cut inside and hit the goal.

In this way, the flexibility of the wingers allows them to attract more defenses when moving out wide.

And in a few years, top clubs will like to pursue those reverse-footed wingers.

The pursuit of scoring by cutting inside after opening up the wings is the change in football's requirements for players in various positions after the tactical evolution of football.

Back on the court, after this goal, Atletico Madrid completely opened its offensive shackles.

Simeone waved his hand from the sidelines and pressed forward across the board.

It's hard to sell tickets if you are timid at your own home stadium.

In this way, Atletico Madrid's offensive came one after another.

40th minute of game time.

Lindy's long pass from the backcourt accurately found Sporting Gijon's backcourt loophole.
