On April 11, the match day, in the evening, after dinner, countless fans gathered at the Calderon Stadium, wearing jerseys of the Sheets and holding team scarves or various banners and slogans, as well as photos and portraits.
Of course, there were also thousands of die-hard fans of city rivals Real Madrid, who gathered together to avoid being left alone and headed for the Calderon Stadium.
The away atmosphere of Spanish fans is not as good as that of other leagues. The number of fans who accompany the team to the away games is usually only a few hundred or a thousand. This time there are thousands of people accompanying the team to the Calderon Stadium because they are in the same city of Madrid.
The distance is not far, that's why there are so many people.
Most of the media have already entered the stadium and are preparing to compile news about the on-field game. However, some media still have spare time to send out reporters to interview fans from both sides.
Since 1999, it has never been defeated by Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid fans are naturally confident and claim that they will witness the Galacticos capture the Calderon Stadium again.
Atletico Madrid fans, on the other hand, are full of hope for the current team, expressing their confidence in the team and Atletico Madrid will win.
Qiao Pingyi, Xiao Wenxiu, Qiao Huamei, Cao Guanhong and others received special treatment. They took VIP tickets and entered through a special passage with other players' families, and then entered the player's family area and took their seats.
As fans checked in one after another, the atmosphere at the Calderon Stadium began to become more and more lively.
The die-hard fans, led by the organizers, sang the team anthem to express their excitement.
Half an hour before the game, when the players from both sides started to warm up, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and others were enthusiastically booed by the home fans; while Qiao Anchen, Falcao and others received a lot of applause and cheers.
This is the home court.
After the warm-up, we returned to the locker room and the head coaches of both teams began to make final mobilizations.
Simone looked serious and said:
"I believe everyone has seen the news these days."
"You all already know that Atletico Madrid has not been able to defeat Real Madrid since they defeated each other on October 30, 1999. It has been 12 years."
"There is no doubt that this is a historic shame and an insult that I cannot accept."
"But that is the record of my predecessors, and I have no control over it."
"Today's Madrid derby is the first city derby since I took office."
"As long as we can beat Real Madrid, even if we don't win any championships later, the fans will not blame us."
"And if we can't win, we will have to continue our shameful record of not being able to beat Real Madrid at home with fans full of hope."
"Believe me, you will deeply feel the fans' disappointment and anger."
"In this game, we have no retreat, we can only win."
"Only by defeating Real Madrid and ending the 12-year shameful record of being unable to defeat our rivals in the same city can we completely win the respect of the fans."
"Do you want to lose to Real Madrid again?"
The players said: "I don't want to!"
Simeone: "Louder!"
Player: "No!"
Simeone: "Do you want to win?"
Player: "Yes!"
Afterwards, everyone formed a circle, put their hands together, and shouted: "We must win! We must win! We must win!"
The neat and loud sound could be heard even by Real Madrid's starting players who had finished their training and entered the tunnel.
The Real Madrid players looked at each other and were not frightened by Atletico Madrid's aggressive shouting. This was because they had been undefeated against Atletico Madrid for 12 years. In terms of psychological advantage, Real Madrid clearly had the absolute upper hand.
What's more, Atletico Madrid only has Qiao Anchen and Falcao, while Real Madrid, from the frontcourt to the goalkeeper, are all world-class, and even the players sitting on the bench are big-name superstars.
Galactic Battleship is not a name for nothing, there is no reason to lose.
Subsequently, Simeone and other coaches and substitute players left the locker room first and went to the bench to take their seats. Qiao Anchen and other starting players, led by captain Gabby, came to the player tunnel and prepared to play.
The appearance of Qiao Anchen aroused the secret observation of many Real Madrid players.
This young player, who is not yet 16 years old, has been occupying the front pages of many media since his emergence at the beginning of the year. Now he is chasing each other with Messi in the annual total goal list, and the limelight is no match.
c Luo Cha.
Such a fierce record and performance are simply unprecedented, which naturally aroused the curiosity of these Real Madrid superstars who saw Qiao Anchen in person for the first time.
In fact, Qiao Anchen was also very curious.
Before the system possessed him, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Xavi Alonso, Casillas, etc., and many Real Madrid superstars were the objects of his worship.
Now seeing these idol superstars in person, Qiao Anchen is actually much more excited than Ronaldo and others.
However, he did not show it on the face. After all, they are opponents now, and they are mortal enemies in the same city. As the current core of Atletico Madrid's offense, he cannot show his admiration for his opponent before the game and weaken the confidence of his teammates.
.
As the saying goes: "I am about to fight to the death, why does the emperor surrender first?"
Although Qiao Anchen is not the emperor, his current position in the team is that he is one of the best. Therefore, Qiao Anchen, who is standing in the team, holds the caddy and stares straight ahead, waiting to enter.
Inside the stadium, stadium announcer Ever Woodrow was already announcing the names of coaches, starting players, and substitutes for both teams.
The first one to read was the visiting team Real Madrid. Naturally, every name was booed by Atletico Madrid fans.
On Atletico Madrid's side, every home player's name will win applause and cheers from the fans.
Especially when Qiao Anchen's name was read, the cheers reached its peak.
Qiao Anchen, who came from his own youth training camp, wears the No. 10 jersey and has scored consecutive goals in 15 La Liga games. He has become the core leader of the team in the hearts of many Atletico Madrid fans and became the key to Atletico Madrid's victory over their arch-rival Real Madrid in this game.

When the starting players from both sides walked into the stadium with their ball boys in hand and led by the referee team, many Atletico Madrid fans in the stands on both sides of the player tunnel shouted at Qiao Anchen:
"Come on Qiao Anchen!"
"Score a few more goals!"
"Crack Real Madrid's goal!"
"Lead us to victory!"
"Atletico must win!"
Shake hands, take photos, pick sides...
After all the entrance ceremonies were completed, at 22:00 on the evening of April 11, 2012, with the referee's whistle, the Madrid derby of the 33rd round of the 2011/2012 La Liga season between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid was officially held at the Calderon Stadium.
