NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5
Su Chen signed a five-year contract with Atletico.
As the youngest player in the team.
Su Chen's annual salary is also the lowest in the team, only 600,000 euros a year.
But.
This is just the beginning.
As long as Su Chen plays well, the club can improve his contract treatment at any time.
In the purely professional world of football in Europe.
There are not as many unspoken rules as in Dragon Country football.
Bright players are always in the buyer's market and have strong bargaining power!
When I saw Su Li solemnly sign his name on the first-team contract.
Atletico Madrid coach Simeone finally breathed a sigh of relief!
It's kind of to have left this kid behind.
If Su Chen also goes to Real Madrid and Barcelona for trial.
That's not a good result.
Two days later.
The 19th round of La Liga matches begins.
Atletico Madrid plays at home against visiting rivals Sevilla!
Su Chen undoubtedly entered the squad.
However, Su Chen did not enter the starting lineup.
Simone said to Su Chen
"You've just arrived, you've shown great teamwork in the joint practice, but you haven't played against your team-mates yet in a competitive match, Sevilla are very strong, so I'll put you on the bench. "
"Your task is to observe the rhythm of the game, La Liga is very fast-paced, very different from your dragon league, observe more. "
Su Chen remembered the teachings of this world-famous handsome.
It's been two days since I signed the contract.
Except for training.
Su Chen has been nesting in the apartment rented by the club.
Just do one thing – watch the footage of Atletico's pre-season matches!
Previous 18 rounds of the league.
Su Chen has finished reading it all!
I also have a preliminary understanding of Atletico's style of play and the technical characteristics of my teammates.
Su Chen is waiting for his La Liga debut!
......
Sunday at 7:45 p.m.
Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid.
The lights are on, the stars are shining!
The professional football stadium that can accommodate 67,703 people seats at least 60,000 people!
In the tunnel of the players, the starters of both teams are ready to start.
Su Chen and other substitute teammates entered first.
As he walked past his teammate Griezmann, Su Chen winked at him.
Griezmann exaggerated two thumbs up to Su Chen, and then pointed to the team emblem.
It's like saying: "Tonight, Atletico at home must take away the three points!".
As a matter of fact.
Before the game, many media pointed out sharply.
If Atletico want to compete for the La Liga title this season.
They have to do two!
One is to take Sevilla.
Before the winter break, do not fall behind from the first echelon of the championship.
The other is to replenish reinforcements in the winter window!
Enrich the layers of offense.
So for Seville.
Simeone also gave the death order in the locker room!
"Boys, let me see if you're producing enough male hormones!
The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!
Sevilla are a typical La Liga team.
The players are skilled at their feet, clever in passing and controlling, and adept at using the width of the pitch to deploy opponents.
Atletico Madrid under Simeone's coaching is characterized by physiality and scrambling.
Known as "Iron-Blooded Atletico Madrid"!
So facing Sevilla, a strong team in the second echelon of La Liga.
Simeone fielded four parallel positions in midfield.
Cork, Gabi, Saul and Carrasco are lined up.
Cover the width of the pitch to the maximum.
Antoine Griezmann in the front line also recycled into the midfield from time to time to strengthen the thickness of the midfield defense.
Leaving only one reckless man, Diego Costa, up front, using his runs to harass the opposition's back line.
Simonsi tried to take advantage of Atletico's numerical advantage in midfield.
Cut off the opponent's passing lanes!
But even so.
Sevilla can still take advantage of the small and fast spirit to create unexpected killing opportunities!
28th minute of the first half.
Sevilla's Argentina international midfielder Banega picked up the ball 15 yards from the top of the box.
At the moment when he received the ball.
"Push him out, don't let him face our defenses head-on!".
Simeone shouted from the sidelines.
Atletico midfielders Saul and Gabi immediately surrounded him.
It's a tactic they have in place before the game.
As long as the opponent is the most threatening to pass Banega, take the ball.
There must be two people staring at him and cutting off the passing lanes forward!
It's just that Banega is also a veteran of the court.
Face the imposing male snatchers.
The Argentine midfielder has a free and easy Marseille slalom!
Take a stroll in between.
Just wiped past the two Atletico players!
"It's beautiful, it's really La Liga, this Banega's dribbling is really good!".
Even Su Chen, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but secretly applaud his opponent in his heart.
He couldn't have imagined it.
Banega was clearly unhurried.
Why did you give the two Atletico teammates who grabbed it!
When he was playing in Dragon Football.
In the face of ferocious pressing.
The players are always in the habit of returning passes, or just kicking their feet!
This is a manifestation of psychological cowardice.
I'm afraid that the ball will be lost at my feet.
Where have you ever seen a calm and unhurried style of play like Banega?
You know, Sevilla is only the second tier of La Liga.
What Real Madrid and Barcelona are like, they will only be stronger ......
"Smack!".
Atletico Madrid are most afraid of what comes.
Banega, who connected the two of them, immediately sent a penetrating straight stopper!
Like a cruise missile, the ball pinpointed his teammate Munir in front of him.
It's a collaboration between two South Americans!
Munir scored with an easy one-on-one effort from close range.
The Atletico Madrid Metropolitano Stadium, which seats 60,000 people, fell silent in an instant!
In the huge stadium, only the cheers of Sevilla's players echoed.
Simon West let out a cool breath at the sky and shook his hand in disappointment!
Still didn't guard against Banega!
"Sevilla has a lot of South Americans, they like to play this kind of fine transmission coordination, we suffered a lot of losses last season, you look at it more, this opponent is a typical La Liga pass and control play. "
On the bench, the veteran sitting next to Su Chen, French striker Gameiro used half-baked English to compare with Su Chen.
"I feel like we've been following the rhythm of our opponents," Suli said to Gameiro, "if you're playing too conservatively, why don't you press out and attack?".
Gameiro shrugged and glanced at the coaching area with an anxious Simeone.
'There's a lot of pressure on the boss, it's the last game of the winter break, we want to win at the end of the season, we have to be sure of it, but sometimes it's not good to think too much. "
Half-time ends.
Atletico are 1-0 down at home to Sevilla.
