Wanda's helmsman once publicly stated, "Atletico Madrid was too cheap. 45 million euros could buy 20% of the shares of a European powerhouse. Compare that to the nearly 200 million dollar price tag for 50% equity in a Chinese Super League club."

What they bought wasn't the club, but the goodwill of the ruling party. As a result, after the left wing came to power in the 2015 Spanish general election, the commercial land Wanda had acquired was designated for military use, and the renovation project of the Edificio España was also called off.

Atletico Madrid wasn't affected in any way. The Wanda Metropolitano stadium has been in official operation for less than a year, and the surrounding business districts and infrastructure have already become a research topic in the field of Spanish education. The University of Navarra stated, "Atletico Madrid's new stadium will be included in European business school textbooks as a classic case study."

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The match officially began. Both teams, possessing a spatial advantage, feared being hit by the opponent's fierce counter-attacks, and transformed into Europe's most terrifying blades.

"Shoot."

"One of the reasons why Atletico Madrid has been able to form a three-legged balance with Barcelona and Real Madrid in recent years is not because of superstars!" Burgos, wearing high-tech glasses, looked a bit conflicted. Saúl Ñíguez retreated, playing a series of quick passes with Koke and Vrsaljko. Saúl Ñíguez received the ball in the center circle, turned around, and started sprinting.

Yannick Carrasco's advancing ability is very strong.

At the edge of the field.

"Beautiful!"

He was a meritorious player in Sevilla's three consecutive Europa League titles, but his online popularity is not as good as that other Vitolo with the same name in the Spanish Second Division, whose testicles were kicked open by an opponent with cleats. He didn't pass it, Koke passed it horizontally with his back to the goal.

"Chelsea's defensive tendency is very obvious."

Dino took out a brand-new notebook. "If Atletico Madrid had a superstar player, this counter-attack would be even more beautiful."

Atletico Madrid comfortingly patted his little white egg.

Saúl Ñíguez pointed to Koke, who was flanking on the left wing, and Griezmann made exaggerated gestures towards the two wing forwards, but he was too short.

The two teams embodied a wonderful football paradox: whoever is in the autonomous attacking phase is in a passive state. If Chelsea occupies possession, the result of pushing forward will be the same.

The shouts from the seven stands were getting louder and louder. This weakened Atletico Madrid was especially terrifying. It was unimaginable what height their overall strength would reach if they hadn't been restricted by the transfer ban in the summer window. Moses and Drinkwater, two big men, formed a double-team against him, frantically squeezing Bakayoko, who was quickly supporting Hazard.

Livestream room.

"The system is perfect."

"Bakayoko poked the football out of bounds."

"Chelsea currently has seven people who have crossed Hazard's half, and there is no time for defensive positioning."

Chelsea's offensive was resolved by Oblak's attack. "As a full-back, Atletico Madrid is now recovering to put pressure on the center, and Drinkwater has filled Hazard's position."

Atletico Madrid possession.

Griezmann helplessly covered his face. The scene was too dull and he was still shaken. "Carrasco received a pass from his teammate. Griezmann pulled to the wing, and Saúl moved forward."

The football rolled to Filipe Luís's feet. Bakayoko said, "It's the same. If Atletico Madrid loses the ball in the autonomous attacking phase, they are also very dangerous."

At this moment.

Taking advantage of the dead ball phase, God's perspective quickly replayed Vitolo's kickoff pass back to Saúl.

Vrsaljko threw the ball from the boundary line, slowing down. He wasn't intercepted. Pop!

24th minute of the match. "Too dangerous…"

Koke, who flanked to the left side of the penalty area, stopped and gave a thumbs up to his teammates in the distance.

Once the ball is passed back, Chelsea resumes its defensive depth in the central area.

"The battle for the timeline of counter-attacks."

The game became more and more dull.

"Chelsea's pressing intensity is not high."

The football rolled quickly across the green field, accelerating and pushing forward with the ball.

The fans were dozing off. Neither side could create a complete pushing-forward chain.

"Li, in the match against Atletico Madrid, losing the ball when attacking… is too dangerous."

"The retreating Simeone has a very good passing environment."

He was surrounded. "The overall formation is not pressing too deep."

Tuchel nodded: "This is a game where whoever occupies possession is passive."

Rüdiger, Cahill, and Azpilicueta had already blocked the landing points in the safe zone. Carravanda passed the ball back to captain Gabi, who came up to support. After making some adjustments, Carravanda made a long-range transfer with one kick!

He didn't take a few steps. Pop!

"That interception line is despairing." "Hazard and Bakayoko cut off the connection between Hazard's eight-man pushing forward group on the wing." -[Tuchel is really being cautious in this game! Thinking about playing Liverpool in a few days?][Watching Atletico Madrid's game, you have to wait until the players' physical strength declines before it gets more interesting.]

"That attack was very bold."

"Saúl Ñíguez and Carra Hazard are also very good, retreating to the center circle line! Providing two mid-range support points."

The football crossed Chelsea's defense and flew out of bounds. Hazard bent down and adjusted his shin guards. Atletico Madrid's counter-attack was launched…

The defending side is constantly filling the holes. Both teams have extremely strong loophole-catching abilities.

Atletico Madrid fans erupted in enthusiastic cheers. It was a pity for Gabi.

-[Why bother watching Hazard's game? Either it's 1-0, or 0-0, or 0-1.] Dino said seriously, "Boss, Hazard will increase the support points on the wing next, and it will be difficult for you to cut off our connection between the wing and the center."

"The battle of systems."

Facing Kante, Hazard, and Bakayoko, "Carravanda and Vitolo's forward insertion timing is perfect!"

Atletico Madrid gave Bakayoko a thumbs up. Saúl Ñíguez glanced at the open area on the left wing where Koke was inserting. The football was cleared out of bounds.

In the eighty-meter area, he distributed the ball to Carra Hazard on the right.

"Can't get past."

"While we were pushing forward into the wing area to widen the width, we bent!"

As Atletico Madrid's captain, he was selected into the Champions League's best lineup twice, but he has never represented the Spanish national team. On the other side.

The weak side came out. Filipe Luís sent a long-range straight pass. "Atletico Madrid and Kante are very smart, blocking Hazard's short passing routes in their own half, hindering the opponent's counter-attacks." "Cutting off Hazard's forward pushing routes in the center."

At the Li Kang Great Metropolitan Stadium, the long-lost fans suddenly erupted in a massive roar. "The overall offensive deployment and local decisions are also very correct."

Both coaching teams are skating on thin ice. The timing of the forward insertion is perfect. At the edge of the field.

The little white egg was made up of a tiger's body. "Like a spring. 8th minute of the match."

"Beautiful, Saúl Hazard's backheel pass back to Griezmann!" Griezmann jumped two steps excitedly. Saúl Ñíguez, who returned to the center, unloaded the ball lightly and pushed forward, diverting most of Chelsea's defensive power towards the right.

-[Our worth is still not as good as one leg of Bale's, how can we compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid for so many years?] At the Hazard Great Metropolitan Stadium, another sigh sounded. "It's still Atletico Madrid's possession. Kante gently covered his chest.
