Chapter 309: Bernabeu's artillery fire(1/2)
On January 19, 2003, the Madrid Derby.
On this day, even the air in Madrid became tense.
In the afternoon, the whole city was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder that was almost suffocating.
On the street, everyone came and went in a hurry with a nervous look. This is rare in Madrid, which is famous for its laziness.
According to data provided by the La Liga Professional League, the game attracted more than 1,000 media reporters from all over the world. The total value of the two teams exceeded 3500 million euros, which is one of the most expensive peak matches in the world.
This game attracted the attention of fans around the world.
Is it the Galaxy Battleship, which is full of stars and the most luxurious lineup in history, who avenged his former shame at home and defeated his offensive rivals, or is the invincible Atletico Madrid once again restraining his mortal enemies in the city and continuing to write a legend of winning streak?
This became a suspense that everyone was speculating before the game.
This tense and confrontational atmosphere not only infects everyone in the city, but also inevitably affects the management of the two teams.
Spanish National Television 1 reported in real time that during the routine dinner before the game, Real Madrid President Florentino led the management to receive Atletico Madrid vice chairman Cerezo and general manager Hill, etc., but the atmosphere of the dinner was very awkward, and it was obviously deeply influenced by the atmosphere of the game.
And before the game, another accident happened.
The Bernabeu Stadium, which can accommodate 76,000 fans, has turned away 2,000 Atletico Madrid fans.
This made the fans of the Bedding Legion very angry, and the scene became even more chaotic for a while. Fortunately, the police maintained order on the scene, and there was no riot. It was just that the actions of the Bedding Legion very dissatisfied the fans of the Bedding Legion very much. They did not leave because they could not enter the stadium, but blocked the outside of the Bernabeu stadium and cheered for their team.
When the players of the two teams arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium, the entire stand was already crowded and full.
Although Real Madrid has been defeated many times in the hands of their arch-enemy enemies in the city in the past year, their fans still choose to come to the scene and support their team.
Moreover, this game is obviously different from before.
"We have Ronaldo!"
"Kill Atletico Madrid!"
"Ronnie will let you taste the Bernabeu fire!"
...
The stands are dotted with banners, and fans hold up signs full of slogans, but the most terrifying thing is the vast white ocean, which is very shocking.
White is jersey, 76,000 pieces; black is head, 76,000 pieces.
This also shows the determination of the Bernabeu fans to avenge their shame!

Florentino still entered the VIP room at the Bernabeu Stadium at 8 o'clock on time.
As long as he appears in public, he will always wear neat suits and a kind smile, and relaxed and comfortable reception of VIP fans from all over the world, as well as Spanish political and business celebrities.
Every game at the Bernabeu Stadium is not just a football game.
Before, when these people met Florentino at this time, they would always ask jokingly: How many goals are you planning to win tonight?
Even occasionally, people will play with it.
But I don’t know which derby starts. When they meet Atletico Madrid, they always ask with a serious look: Can you win tonight?
Florentino didn't like the suspicious tone they asked, nor did he like the serious expression on their faces, as if they had just returned from the battlefield.
He likes self-confidence, calmness, elegance, and calmness.
He still kept a polite smile and suppressed all his displeasure in his heart.
After walking around the VIP room, returning to his seat, and making sure no one was paying attention to it, he curled his smile, replaced it with a serious face, looking at the person standing in front of the visiting team coach's seat below the court.
High cold!
It was this person who brought Atletico Madrid, which had already been sinking into hell, to the ranks of the top European teams today, and trained a group of very outstanding stars for the Bedding Legion.
Since he appeared, he has been like a nightmare for Real Madrid, oh no, a nightmare for all Spanish teams.
No one knows how he did it, but he does take Atletico Madrid to win all the time…
Punch him to the Bernabeu?
This idea really touched Florentino.
It was just like President Mendoza would snipe Real Madrid champions Valdano and Redondo, who were two consecutive seasons, digging from Tenerife to the Bernabeu.
But he felt that it was not the time.
Because he can't guarantee whether the fans of the Bernabeu and the superstars of Real Madrid can accept such a head coach, so he is still waiting.
But tonight...
Florentino looked at Boske in front of the home team coach's seat again, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"The competition is about to begin, and we see that the two teams have set up their formation."
"Real Madrid's starting lineup still uses the 4231 formation."
"The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Robert Carlos, Jero, Elgra and Salgado, the double midfielder is Flavio and Marklele, the three attackers in the frontcourt are Zidane, Raul and Figo, and the single forward is Ronaldo."
"This lineup can be said to be the most powerful super lineup in football today, gathering the top superstars at that time."
"Atletico Madrid also sent all its main players to fight, and it still played in the 4312 formation."
"The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Yankulovski, Carvalho, Marchena and Dario Serna, the three midfielders are Deco, Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna, the sudden front position is Kaka, and the double striker is Villa partner Torres."
"At the press conference before the game, Atletico Madrid head coach Gao Han said that the most threatening player in Real Madrid is Zidane, but he firmly believes that Marcos Senna will completely freeze Zidane, and Atletico Madrid's midfielder will completely suppress Real Madrid."
"At the same time, he also said that although it is a away game, the Bedsheets Legion will continue to hold high the flag of offensive football!"
"Before the game, many professionals also believed that the biggest test for Real Madrid in this game will be on the back line. How to freeze Atletico Madrid's trident will become Real Madrid's biggest test."
"Real Madrid head coach Boske said before the game that teams like Atletico Madrid will be as solid as a defensive team, and if they want to attack, they will be invincible. This is also the highest evaluation that Boske can give to his opponent."
...
"Okay, the game has begun."
"We saw Atletico Madrid serve first."
"It was passed to the backcourt, Carvalho got the ball, Real Madrid pressed it out, and then passed it to Kaka, and passed it straight..."
"Beautiful straight pass, passed behind..."
"Offside!"
"The lineman raised the flag without hesitation, indicating that it was an offside."
"Torres started very quickly, and he had caught up with the ball and formed a single shot, but he fell into an offside trap."
"The fans at the Bernabeu Stadium were also shocked. No one expected that at the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid had a first start. Fortunately, Real Madrid's defense line was very focused."
...
"After the opening, Atletico Madrid was basically the dominant game, and the ball possession was at the feet of Atletico Madrid."
"Faced with the mortal enemy in the city, Real Madrid seems to be a little lacking in confidence."
"But this may also be Real Madrid's game strategy. First stabilize the defense and then find an opportunity to counterattack. This is also Boske's main tactic when he led the team to win the Champions League."
"It's been five minutes, and the scene in Real Madrid is very passive."
"Atlancia Madrid fights very fiercely and the pace is very fast..."
"Okay, foul, Zidane was knocked down by Marcos Senna, Real Madrid won a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt."
"Robert Carlos will take the penalty if he is about thirty meters away from the goal."
"Oh, the penalty is high, Carlos looks very upset."
"This is Real Madrid's first shot since the opening game, but it's a bit far away."
"Relatively speaking, Atletico Madrid has had two shots and both of them have entered the penalty area."
...
"Okay, pass it to the left and hand it over to Villa."
"Villa got the ball and forced his way through Salgado, it's over!"
"foul!"
"Salgado pulled Villa down and gave Atletico Madrid a very threatening opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt."
"Xavi Alonso came to take the penalty, passed it to the penalty area, headed the ball..."
"Casillas flew to save at a critical moment and saved Marchena's header."
"It's too dangerous!"
...
"Atlancia Madrid still maintains its initiative advantage on the court. Although Real Madrid has a lot of stars and is fighting at home, they seem to have no way to deal with the bed sheet army, and there are also loopholes in defense, which is not a good phenomenon."
