386 The league debut of the new players(1/2)
Betis did not participate in the final madness of the transfer period. After playing three Super Cup games, the team was trying to get every second to rest. Because in three days, the opening game of the new season of the league will be ushered in!
The first round of the league will be the fourth game in half a month. If you encounter such a high-intensity confrontation at the beginning of the new season, it will obviously be a big test for the team's physical fitness.
In the first three Super Cups, because it involves the issue of championship ownership, Tang Feng basically sent all his main players to play.
After three games, the players in the main lineup were somewhat exhausted.
Although Tang Feng has always focused on "a good start", he still decided to follow the advice of Betis Laboratory and rotate in the first round of the league.
Tang Feng felt that since he had invested so much energy and money to build this Betis Laboratory, he should follow their professional opinions.
However, the rotation of the lineup does not mean that Tang Feng does not pay attention to this game. On the contrary, he is very clear that Atletico Madrid, as a newly promoted team, is difficult to deal with!
This season, Atletico Madrid has invested more in the transfer market than Betis and is able to rank among the top three in La Liga!
Obviously, after two seasons in the Spanish Second Division, the Hill family wants to rebuild the team's glory.
This summer, they have introduced several powerful players, including Spanish striker Jose Moreno from AC Milan for 13 million, Brazilian midfielder Emerson from La Coruña (not the Emerson who joined Real Madrid in the future), full-back Contra from Milan for 3 million, Brazilian Gremio from Brazil for 3 million, and Fabric from Gremio from Brazil for 800,000, and Pinora from Milan for 800,000.
The cumulative investment in the transfer market has reached 26 million euros, which is obviously a big deal for a newly promoted team!
Among them, Moreno, Contra and Emerson are all former La Liga players. In addition, veteran Sergi introduced from Barcelona for free, Atletico Madrid's strength has definitely been strongly supplemented!
Some Spanish media even boldly predicted that Atletico Madrid will most likely hit European qualifications in its first season after returning to La Liga!
In addition, for Atletico Madrid, last season in the Segunda Division, Betis still tried his best to kill them while locking the upgrade list early, which led to their failure in upgrading undoubtedly attracted their hatred.
Therefore, this game is also a battle of revenge for Atletico Madrid!
...
On September 3, the last two games of the first round of the league started at two stadiums in Madrid!
Previously, the other eight league games were just a battle.
Among several traditional strong teams, Barcelona was unexpectedly tied by the promoted team Verva, and La Coruna lost to Real Sociedad. Only Valencia easily won a victory.
Real Madrid and Betis have been postponed for one day due to their European Super Cup.
Calderon Stadium in Madrid!
Since it was Atletico Madrid's first La Liga game two years later, the stands on the stadium were filled with enthusiastic Atletico Madrid fans.
Calderon Stadium, which can accommodate more than 50,000 fans, has become a sea of red and white today.
Although some Betis fans came to Madrid and wanted to cheer for the team on the spot, they only got a pitiful more than 2,000 tickets!
Therefore, at Calderon Stadium, the number of Betis fans is not even enough for Atletico Madrid fans.
Suddenly, a huge cheer burst out in the already lively Calderon Stadium.
"Okay, the players of both teams have appeared. Let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides!"
Accompanied by the commentator's voice, the starting lineup of both sides appeared on the TV screen...
Atletico Madrid starting lineup (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Boggs
Defender: Contra, Calvo, Sibic, Sergi
Midfielder: Domingo, Emerson, Mobina, Dani
Forward: Torres, Moreno
"Caragones today has a relatively balanced lineup of offense and defense. Several newly joined powerful players were also included in the starting lineup..."
Real Betis starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Van der Sar
Defenders: Barrera, Vidic, Carvalho, Chiellini
Middleback: Xavi Alonso, Senna
Midfielder: Cristia Ronaldo, Luis Garcia, Maxi Rodriguez
Forward: Diego Milito
"Wow, we see that Betis' lineup has made a large-scale rotation compared to the previous Super Cup games. We only see from it Van der Sar, Xavi Alonso and Carvalho, three absolute main players. It seems that the three consecutive Super Cup games at the beginning of the season have made Betis feel very tired. Magic Don had to conduct a large-scale rotation in this game. But can four new players like Vidic, Chiellini, Cristia Ronaldo and Diego Milito, who are participating in La Liga for the first time, play their strength? This is a question!"
While the commentator introduced the lineups of both sides, Tang Feng also walked out behind the players.
Hush~~~ A shocking boo suddenly broke out in the stands.
Obviously, Atletico Madrid fans dislike Tang Feng very much.
Tang Feng is already used to this. In his opinion, as long as the fans of his team can firmly support him, it is enough. As for the fans of other teams, the more they hate themselves, the more successful they do it!
...
Beep~~~
After a series of pre-match ceremonies, the referee on duty officially blew the whistle to start the game.
The first serve was Atletico Madrid, who played at home!
Perhaps it was because he had been away from La Liga for too long, and Atletico Madrid was particularly excited after the opening game.
Especially Torres on the front line!
As the Golden Boy of Atletico Madrid, he grew up as the main player of the club last season and was also a hero for the team to return to La Liga.
He has not experienced the baptism of La Liga since his debut from Atletico Madrid.
Today, he faced the defending champion of La Liga in the first La Liga game. He naturally hoped to prove himself well.
Torres is only eighteen years old this year, but his performance is quite like a general. Moreover, he has not been baptized by any injuries and illnesses. He is also very good in terms of speed and physical fitness.
The one who matched him was Vidic, who was also playing in La Liga for the first time!
If Vidic simply fought for his body, he would definitely not be afraid of Torres, but Torres still has the speed that Vidic feels afraid.
Just six minutes into the game, Torres used his speed to get rid of Vidic and got a good opportunity to score.
Fortunately, Van der Sar attacked in time and blocked Torres's shot with his body.
Although the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands were a little regretful, they became even more excited after seeing the team taking the initiative.
Tang Feng on the sidelines also realized that it seemed a bit difficult to get Vidic to deal with Torres.
So he walked to the sidelines and said to Carvalho, asking him to pay attention to Torres.
Although Moreno, another striker of Atletico Madrid, has been famous for a long time in La Liga, in Tang Feng's impression, after a failure in Serie A, he was unable to find his state in Alaves when he returned to La Liga.
Therefore, in Tang Feng's eyes, the young Torres was even more threatening.
Sure enough, five minutes later, in another attack by Atletico Madrid, the ball was handed over to Torres' feet.
He took the ball at the front of the penalty area, forcibly shook a gap and tested Van der Sar with a strong shot.
However, Van der Sar still strives to protect the city gate!
After resisting the start of Atletico Madrid's attack, Betis also started to counterattack!
Ronaldo, who is also playing in La Liga for the first time today, was also very excited.
Even when facing the defense of former Barcelona star Sergi, he was still bravely seeking breakthroughs.
When he first got the ball, Sergi had some problems with the young Portuguese. So, after a series of dazzling fake moves, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated and got rid of Sergi's defense, and then gave a cross!
Unfortunately, Diego Milito failed to get a good position in the middle, and the ball was pushed out by the opponent's central defender.
This successful breakthrough also greatly improved Ronaldo's confidence.
But what he didn't know was that veteran Sergi was obviously also angry by Ronaldo's understatement of breakthrough just now.
In the subsequent attack, Luo Xiao was about to use the same trick again.
He once again showed his dazzling fake moves in front of Sergi.
However, this time, the experienced Sergi did not take his movements and firmly stood firmly in his position!
When Ronaldo made a false move of incision and then wafted the ball to the bottom line, Sergi, who had already seen Ronaldo's intention, quickly turned around and got stuck, separated Ronaldo and the ball, and cut off the ball!
This excellent defense also gave the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands a round of applause, and then they booed to Ronaldo, who was intercepted.
Tang Feng on the sidelines saw this scene and couldn't help but shake his head.
Originally, he thought that Ronaldo had discovered his football problem these days and corrected it.
Who knew that when he became excited, he had an old problem again.
Who is Sergi?
Sergi was the main left-back of Barcelona's Dream Team back then and the Spanish international!
At the age of thirty, his physical fitness may have declined a bit, but his consciousness and defensive skills are absolutely perfect.
Tang Feng suddenly realized that he was too cruel to this kid by letting Ronaldo play Sergi for his La Liga debut?
After the attack on the right was blocked, Betis began to shift the center of gravity of the offense to the left.
Contra, who Maxi Rodriguez faces, is also a famous player in La Liga. At his peak, he even had the reputation of "Left Carlos, Right Contra" in La Liga!
