Super Marshal

"...Bosque!"

With Johansson's shout, the audience burst into exclamation.

On the big screen on the stage, among the four candidates, Bosque jumped up excitedly from his seat, Ferguson and Top Muller next to him were still smiling as usual, Gao Han closed his eyes, unable to hide his inner sadness disappointment.

Although Atletico Madrid won more championships, although they defeated Real Madrid five times in a single season, all these achievements were useless in front of the Champions League champions.

Gao Han also admitted that the Champions League is indeed more rare, but he will not admit that he lost to Bosque.

So, soon, he held his head up again, stood up, hugged Bosque next to him, and congratulated him on winning the award.

"Thank you!" Bosque whispered in Gao Han's ear while hugging.

"You deserve it, Vicente."

After simply congratulating, Bosque shook hands with Ferguson and Top Muller before he stepped onto the podium.

After receiving the trophy from Johansson, Del Bosque said a lot, thanking the Real Madrid players and his colleagues, but never mentioning the Real Madrid management.

This also made everyone present more certain that there is indeed a gap between him and the Real Madrid management.

The next few awards have nothing to do with Gao Han and Atletico Madrid, and Gao Han also watched with the mentality of a spectator.

Best Goalkeeper went to Kahn, Best Defender to Roberto Carlos, Best Midfielder to Ballack, Best Forward to Raúl and Most Valuable Player to Zidane.

Gao Han sat under the stage, silently watching the happy appearance of the award recipients on the stage, and listening to their joyful acceptance speeches, but he was quite unconvinced.

The 38th round of La Liga won the championship, the King's Cup champion, the UEFA Cup champion, such a record can't compare to a Champions League?

What kind of shit logic is this?

If you don't accept the high cold, you will never accept it!

He doesn't have a problem with Bosque, it's the group of guys who have a problem.

Isn't it a Champions League?

I'll definitely take it down and show you guys!

I must make you convincingly hand over this trophy!

"There is no doubt that Bayern Munich is very strong. They are one of the strongest teams in Europe. We can imagine how difficult it will be to compete with such a team."

"There is also AC Milan. Although we defeated our opponents in the UEFA Cup last season, this season's AC Milan is obviously stronger. The joining of superstar players such as Nesta, Rivaldo and Seedorf has made this team The team has been transformed."

"There is also Lens in Ligue 1. This team should not be underestimated either. They have the ability to change the situation of the group."

"Before I walked into the Grimaldi Conference Centre, I was told that there are no easy teams in the Champions League, so don't take any chances."

"In this regard, I am deeply convinced!"

"Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, the group we are in is relatively more difficult than other groups, but I think this is a good thing for us, because we like to accept challenges, and the more difficult we are, the more we like it. "

"Although this is the first time I have led the team to participate in the UEFA Champions League, and this is also the return of Atletico Madrid to the UEFA Champions League after a long absence, we are not a weak team at the mercy of others, and we will continue to maintain the team's traditional style of play. And style, continue to give it your all in every game."

"I believe that Atlético Madrid, every player, every staff member will not be affected by the result of the draw."

"If there is, it must be more exciting, because the more difficult and the higher the level of challenges, the more fighting spirit we will become."

"I firmly believe that we will be able to stand out from the group stage!"

Gao Han's remarks in an interview with UEFA and media reporters after the draw and awards ceremony soon appeared on newspaper pages in Europe and around the world.

Everyone agrees with what he said.

Because the battle is imminent, even if the draw is unfavorable, no one will say some discouraged words in advance.

But as a newcomer to the Champions League, Atletico Madrid wants to stand out from the death group, and the difficulty can be imagined.

What can best reflect the views of the outside world and fans on the results of the draw is undoubtedly the top 32 winning odds offered by the bookmaker William Hill after the results of the draw.

Among the many teams, Real Madrid is far ahead with two losses and nine losses.

Although Ronaldo's transfer of the century is still pending, the Galaxy Battleship is still the most competitive team in the Champions League with its many superstars.

It is followed by Manchester United at 5 to 1, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Juventus at 10 at 1, Inter Milan at 11 at 1, Liverpool and Roma at 14 at 1, and Valencia at 10 at 1. Six, and Deportivo lost eighteen to one.

AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund lost twenty to one.

Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen, the two most shocking dark polo teams in European football last season, only lost 25 to 1, lagging behind the above group of European powerhouses in all aspects.

The analysis and evaluation given by William Hill is that Leverkusen has been hit by the King of Sanya. It is very unlikely that Leverkusen will repeat the glory of last season this season, especially this summer, when Ballack, the soul core of the team, switched to Bayern Munich, the blow to this team is very big.

As for Atletico Madrid, the British gaming company believes that the Sheets should continue to perform well in La Liga, but as the youngest coach in the Champions League, Gao Han lacks experience in the Champions League, especially against the giants of the four major leagues.

Moreover, in the past few years, La Liga teams, including Deportivo, have played well in the domestic league and the UEFA Cup, but once they arrive in the Champions League, most of them are not acclimatized.

Therefore, William Hill believes that the possibility of Atletico Madrid being upset in the Champions League is very low.

But it is very close to the statement made by the head coach Gao Han in the interview with the media. After learning the result of the draw, the players of Atletico Madrid were also full of fighting spirit when they were interviewed by the media.

Kaka, the team's best player, said in an interview, "Participating in the Champions League is the dream of all professional players. We started discussing it a few months ago, and now we finally participated."

"I know that the draw is not good for us, we have to challenge three strong teams, but everyone in our team is very excited and feels very good, although the difficulty of the game will bring us a lot of pressure. , but it will also allow us to unleash the strongest fighting power."

As the team's top scorer, Villa also expressed confidence in an interview.

"Although our group is more difficult than other groups, allowing us to make fewer mistakes, we like challenges and we are willing to accept all challenges."

The team's field captain Torres even threatened unabashedly, "We will surprise everyone, we will qualify from the group, no matter who our opponent is!"

Relatively speaking, veterans such as Guardiola and Kiko appear to be more mature and stable.

But they all praised Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Lens first, and then emphasized the confidence of the team.

"The promotion is not easy, but we will certainly not let the fans down!"

"We are very happy to be in the Champions League, we will not be afraid of any opponent!"

"We will show our true strength on the stage of the Champions League!"

Atletico Madrid's statement has also won unanimous affirmation from the media.

Being drawn in the death group, they can still maintain such a high fighting spirit, which shows the confidence of the bed sheet army.

At the press conference before the UEFA Super Cup, Gao Han also repeatedly emphasized that he will not care too much about the UEFA Champions League. He will only prepare for the next game carefully and play every game as before.

"As long as each of us works together and plays our best, we will definitely make it out of the group!"

On the evening of August 30th, the UEFA Super Cup officially kicked off at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.

Bosque continued to adjust the team in this game.

Morientes, who was deeply involved in the transfer rumors, failed to start. Guti took the lead in the striker, Raul played the midfielder from the back, and Cambiasso continued to partner with Makelele as a double midfielder. This showed Real Madrid's ambition. In offensive thinking.

Atlético de Madrid also did their best. Gao Han lost to Bosque in the selection of the best coach. He was full of anger and just vented it in this game.

From the very beginning, the two sides fought each other head-to-head, fighting each other back and forth.

Real Madrid had an excellent first chance in the 11th minute, Raúl almost had the ball in after Roberto Carlos crossed in from the left, but Petr Cech's crucial moment Flying to save, try to keep the goal.

This divinely assisted save also greatly boosted the momentum of the Sheets on the court.

After Atletico Madrid took advantage of the situation to counterattack, Gao Han also decided to go all out, and the Sheets immediately stepped up their offensive efforts.

When the game progressed to the 21st minute, Guardiola made a long pass from the midfielder, Villa passed the ball with his heel, Jankulovski inserted a direct diagonal pass, and Torres nodded from behind the goal to break through. Casillas' goal.

One to zero!

After the goal, Real Madrid tried to counterattack, but Atletico Madrid deliberately slowed down and began to play possession tactics.

Perhaps due to the psychological shadow of the previous disastrous defeats, or because the defense was not active enough, Real Madrid did not intensify their pressing efforts, and always took the first priority of stabilizing their team's defense.

This immediately brought the game to a stalemate.

Until the second half, after Kaka received the ball on the left side, he dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough. Using his excellent personal ability and speed, he passed two Real Madrid defenders in a row and broke through to the front of the penalty area before being brought down by Hierro .

The Real Madrid centre-back received a yellow card and Atlético Madrid got a very good set-piece chance.

Dario Srna stepped forward to take the penalty, and the ball flew directly over the wall and into the left side of the goal.

Casillas had nothing to do with this direct free kick that was almost dead.

Two to zero!

This score was eventually maintained until the end of the game.

Atletico Madrid finally defeated Real Madrid 2-0 and won the UEFA Super Cup.

At the same time, the Sheets Legion's winning streak against rivals in the same city has also expanded to eight games!

But on the second day after the European Super Cup, that is, on the night of the 31st, at the last moment when the European summer transfer market was about to close, Real Madrid finally officially announced that the team had paid 45 million euros. At a high price, the top striker Ronaldo was introduced from Inter Milan.

This immediately shocked the football world.

The attack lineup of the Galaxy Battleship has finally made up for the last shortcoming.
