On Wednesday, January 10, Atlético Madrid came to the city of Pamplona, located in the autonomous community of Navarra.

They will play their first match of the Copa del Rey quarter-knockout round against Osasuna here.

Osasuna have had a good run of results in recent years, finishing fourth in the league last season. Got a ticket to the Champions League.

Although they finally lost to Hamburg in the Bundesliga in the qualifying round and missed the Champions League, they could only transfer to the UEFA Cup.

But this is a good enough result for this team, which was a promoted horse in previous years.

To be able to achieve such results, it is undeniable that their strength is very strong.

And the coach who led this team to such eye-catching results was Aguirre, the head coach of Atletico Madrid at this time.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid's visit to Osasuna is also the first time Aguirre has returned since leaving here.

At the press conference before the game, the reporters also knew the significance of this game to Aguirre, so they all enthusiastically asked Aguirre questions.

"Mr. Aguirre, how do you feel about returning to your old club today?"

a reporter asked.

'It's complicated, but now I'm the manager of Atletico Madrid and I'm thinking more about how to win this game.

Aguirre replied truthfully.

"So what do you think about the prospect of this game, do you think we can win this game?"

"Osasuna are very strong, it does take a lot of effort to win against them, and my team and I will give it our all. As for the final result, I'm afraid God doesn't know this now.

"You're too modest, aren't you? I've heard you say you're going to win the Copa del Rey before, and it's only the quarterfinals. You should have more confidence. The

reporter began to set up.

"I said our goal was to win the Copa del Rey, but I think the other teams should aim for the same as me. Otherwise, they won't have to compete. All I can say is that we will play every game with our hearts and mind, and as for the final result, we will leave it to fate.

Aguirre obviously didn't put on the set, but played Tai Chi pushing.

"Hehe, good luck then. Seeing

that there was not much information from Aguirre, the reporter turned to Osasuna coach Ziganda on the other side and started the interview.

"Coach Ziganda, do you have anything to say about this game?"

"Coach Aguirre said that the goal of every team is to win the Copa del Rey, and that's right, because our team's goal is also to win the championship. So we're going to do our best to win. The

young coach Qiganda, who just turned 40 this year, said in high spirits.

"That's great! We're going to see a good matchup tonight. What would you say about your opponents, Atletico Madrid?"

"Atletico Madrid are a good team, although they have not been as good as us in the league in the past two seasons and have not qualified for Europe. But it is undeniable that they still have strength that cannot be underestimated. We must be careful to overcome them.

Ziganda's words immediately excited the reporters.

Although his words are ostensibly praising Atletico Madrid, the meaning of his words is very obvious, that is, although you are Atletico Madrid, you are still inferior to us Osasuna.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Aguirre on the side, but saw that the other party nodded happily in acknowledgement.

Seeing Aguirre's expression, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

It may sound harsh to the ears of other managers, but Aguirre is different.

The reason why Osasuna has been able to achieve good results in the past two years is inseparable from his leadership.

Now that Aguirre is gone, let's take a look at Atletico Madrid and Osasuna's results this season.

Atletico are now top of the league, while Osasuna are 12th.

This speaks volumes about the level of coaching ability of Aguirre and Ziganda.

So when Aguirre heard Ziganda's words, instead of being angry, he still had a happy expression.

Everyone's expressions naturally fell on the eyes of Qiganda on the side, and he understood after a little thought.

Then, his face immediately turned ugly.

What he said accidentally became a compliment to the other party and a demeaning remark to himself.

It made him feel like he was lifting a rock and shooting himself in the foot.

Seeing his expression, the reporter took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Ziganda, are you praising Mr. Aguirre's coaching skills? Your relationship must have been very good before, right?" Hearing the reporter's question, Qiganda's

face turned completely black.

But he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to laugh dryly and said, "Coach Aguirre is indeed a respectable coach, and our relationship was really ...... Not bad, huh...... Yes...... Not bad!"

he said yes, but there was a smile on his face, and I could hear it, and the reluctance in his words was

only in Aguirre's ears, but it moved him a little. He turned his head to look at Ziganda and said

, "Ansel, I didn't expect you to miss the old love so much, it seems that I was wrong to blame you before, I should apologize to you, I shouldn't have scolded you before." "

Nani? What's the situation? There's a story between these two people.

Journalists were instantly interested.

"Mr. Aguirre, what did you just say that you shouldn't scold the other party? Can you elaborate?"

the reporter asked.

Aguirre showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and said: "It's really a little embarrassing to say this, when I used to coach at Osasuna, Ansel was my assistant, and I still have high requirements for him, so sometimes I will inevitably speak too much." That's why ......"

everyone suddenly realized that these two people still have this origin.

It's just that why is the look on Ziganda's face so unnatural?

No one knows, at this time, Ziganda's heart is gritting his teeth.

This old immortal, who used to be powerful above himself, is now pretending to be a hypocrite here.

At the end of the press conference, after the ugly-faced Ziganda returned to the locker room, he gritted his teeth and said to the Osasuna players in front of him: "Today I want to make Atletico Madrid look good, no one is allowed to stay in the game for a while, I must give them some color!"

Hearing Ziganda's words, everyone was a little stunned, and they didn't know what their head coach was stimulated.

However, seeing the other party's somewhat hideous face, no one dared to touch the moldy head.

All nodded silently in agreement.

On the other side, Aguirre, who returned to the locker room, was full of spring breeze.

He was in a good mood and said to his disciples: "Give me a good kick for a while, and you must play our Atletico Madrid style!" "

I want to let that guy Ziganda learn a little hard." Look at how my team plays!"

So it all went well.

The time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening, and the eighths of the Copa del Rey knockout round, Atletico Madrid's away game against Osasuna, officially kicked off.
