Outside the Bernabeu Stadium, there is already a sea of white.
Real Madrid fans sang the team song and came in droves to cheer for their team.
For Atletico Madrid, this game is a humiliating battle that has been unwinnable for ten years.
For Real Madrid, the result of this game is very important.
It determines whether Real Madrid can rush to the first place in the league after the winter break.
This season, Real Madrid and Barcelona have a very tight score.
There are currently 17 rounds in the league:
Barcelona has 13 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses, with 43 points, ranking first in the league.
Real Madrid ranked second with 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, with 42 points.
Even a win or loss may affect the ownership of the La Liga championship.
In the pre-match press conference, Flores and Pellegrini still maintained gentlemanly demeanor in front of the camera.
After the two shook hands and took their seats, the reporters began their performance.
The uncrowned kings all have their own innate skills: Which pot should not be opened?
The first reporter who stood up to ask a question almost made Flores jump up and down: "I would like to ask Mr. Flores, Atletico Madrid has not won a Madrid derby in the past ten years. Do you think about today's game?" Confident of winning?"
Look at this group of reporters. If you just ask them if they have confidence, wouldn't that be the end of it?
Do you have to dig out Atletico Madrid's biggest wound in the derby, and do it in front of so many people?
How do you want Flores to answer this?
Have confidence? Who is confident of winning against this Real Madrid team?
What will this group of people write if they lose then?
The arrogant, head coach Puxin gives him a headache just thinking about it.
No confidence? What are you going to do if you don't have confidence?
Flores took a deep breath to calm down his emotions that were about to go berserk.
In my heart, I have already pushed this reporter to the ground, pulled out his belt and taught him a lesson!
Then, he answered word by word: "No one knows what will happen in the end before the game starts. The boys will definitely try their best in Madrid, and the rest will be left to God. Next!"
As if to prevent reporters from continuing to dwell on this issue, Flores stepped over and directly called the next reporter.
But the next reporter pointed the finger at Pellegrini, "Excuse me, Mr. Pellegrini, according to rumors, Real Madrid is going to introduce the blade fighter Franck Ribery. There seems to be a lot of opinions in the locker room about this. What can you say?" Say something?"
This question was even more exciting than the one asked just now. The reporters at the scene quietly gave a thumbs up to the colleague who asked the question.
Real show, the locker rooms of Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been the most interesting thing for reporters.
During the Sir Alex Ferguson scandal, many reporters tried their best to bribe people at the scene to obtain first-hand information.
Now, it is rumored that Real Madrid wants to bring in Franck Ribery, which has caused instability in the Real Madrid dressing room.
How crowded is Real Madrid's midfield? Just ask Van der Vaart, Xavi Alonso, Albiol, Diarra, Granero.
Of course, these problems such as starting the game will not occur to Kaká and Ronaldo.
This kind of locker room is not something Pellegrini can completely handle.
Flores began to feel some sympathy for Pellegrini at this time.
He also wants players like this, but a locker room like this.
What can a head coach do? The Copa del Rey game should be the game where he has the greatest autonomy, right?
I saw that Pellegrini's face was even uglier than that of Flores. He was selling to whomever he bought.
In Real Madrid, it's not the head coach who has the final say.
Of course, the head coach's opinion is also very important. But now, there are indeed some disharmonious voices in the locker room. Regarding the current Real Madrid, he does not want to make a big move. Their strength is not worse than any other team. What is more important is stability and harmony, and they can perform at a normal level.
Pellegrini wanted to leave on the spot, but as the head coach of the home team, it was inconvenient for him to do so: "Today we will only talk about the game itself and the transfer. When it happens, we will invite you to attend the press conference." of!"
The reporter then asked a few more private questions about the two teams, ignoring the completely darkened faces of the two people on the stage.
…
There are only 20 minutes left until the game begins.
When the coaches of the two teams returned to their respective locker rooms, their faces were extremely dark and ugly.
No matter how low the emotional intelligence of the players is, they will not jump out and find discomfort at this time.
Flores looked at the players in front of him and seemed to be reminded of his youth.
He also sat there waiting for the head coach to give him instructions.
He adjusted his mood.
"Ten years! A whole ten years!"
"Although we are called Atletico Madrid, we have not been able to win even a single victory at the Bernabeu in the past ten years!"
"Not even a fucking victory!"
After yelling, Flores straightened his clothes, as if to give the group of young men in front of him a little buffer from the yelling.
"Of course, you can't be entirely blamed for our record over the past ten years."
"Everyone here may only need to shoulder the responsibility for 1-2 years at most, so don't worry."
After speaking, he gave the team members a smile.
The team members followed Flores and smiled, feeling that the atmosphere had relaxed a bit.
But Flores's expression changed and he shouted sternly: "But do you know what those bastards outside said about us?"
"They think we will keep losing! No Madrid team can beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu!"
"They think there's only one team in Madrid that can use this name, and that's Real Madrid!"
"They think that you young people are not as valuable and capable as Real Madrid. How can you win?"
Immediately afterwards, Flores pointed at Domingos and De Gea, "Albaro, David, you two were born in Madrid."
"I'm curious, are there any other teams in Madrid besides Real Madrid?"
Albarro Dominguez and David De Gea are both Madrid natives and have been die-hard Atletico fans since childhood.
De Gea has been taken by his father to watch Atletico Madrid games since he was a child. He naturally knows that during these ten years.
How difficult it is for Atletico Madrid, they have never won a local derby.
Every derby was a time when he and his father were sad.
The two of them had red eyes listening to Flores' questioning. This is the team they have admired and loved since childhood.
Now, they have donned the red and white jerseys and vowed to fight for it.
When anyone dares to challenge Atletico Madrid, they will not hesitate to stand up: "In Madrid, and Atletico Madrid, we are Atletico Madrid!"
The two of them shouted at the end!
This roar also affected the teammates around him. They were all breathing heavily and their emotions were gradually aroused.
Flores took the opportunity to continue:
"Look at the black jerseys you are wearing. Why did you choose black? Because we are a team for the middle and lower classes in the Madrid region, and black is our representative color."
"Just like now, we have to challenge the superior "Real" Madrid." He bit the word "royal" very hard!
"We are the Spartacus of ancient Rome. Our ten-year winless record is like a yoke around our necks!"
"Only by defeating them can the shackles on their necks be opened!"
"Fuck ten years of invincibility. We are the new Atletico Madrid. We are going to overthrow them in an upright and dignified manner at the Bernabeu Arena!"
"Can you do it?"
"Can you fucking do it!"
Dominguez and De Gea stood up immediately: "Yes! We just want to defeat them at the Bernabeu!"
Both of them came from Atletico Madrid's youth training camp, and now they are die-hard fans of Atletico Madrid!
Then, all the players' emotions were completely aroused by Flores' words, and they were all shaking and panting.
Lindy also stood up at this time and shouted: "Kill them! Atletico Madrid will win!"
Everyone gathered in a circle and shouted in unison: "Atletico Madrid must win!!"
