Chapter 30 Vincent Calderon Stadium

The Spanish Super Cup will kick off the second round three days after the first round.

During these three days, the most concerned issue for Real Madrid fans is Cristiano Ronaldo's injury.

Several versions have been reported about the injuries of Real Madrid's current star in the past three days.

After a while, Ronaldo was said to have a mild injury and would not affect the second round of the game, which made Real Madrid fans feel relieved.

But then there was a statement from another channel that Cristiano Ronaldo was seriously injured, which made everyone's hearts suffocate.

There are even saying that Ronaldo is reimbursed for the season, which makes Real Madrid fans feel that the sky is falling.

I don’t know if the reporters were guessing and reporting it or if Real Madrid intends to release smoke bombs again.

Anyway, before the second round of the game came, everyone saw the name of Cristiano Ronaldo from the rosters announced in advance.

He was selected to Real Madrid's roster.

Because it's just a big roster, not a roster, I don't know whether Ronaldo is on the big roster or in the lineup.

There are two possibilities.

So Real Madrid fans did not really breathe a sigh of relief. The only good news is that Cristiano Ronaldo appeared on the roster, which at least means that he will not be reimbursed this season...

On the other hand, Simeone didn't care whether Cristiano Ronaldo could play. He was asked about this before the game when he was asked about this. He showed great confidence: "It doesn't matter whether Ronaldo is playing. This is our home court, and we have the final say here."

This head coach, known as the "Bandit Commander", fully demonstrated his bandit-like side.

Unlike Real Madrid fans, it has always been worried. Atletico Madrid's lineup is relatively fixed and there are no injuries.

Although Simeone did not announce the lineup one day in advance, the media could predict that it was almost impossible to match it.

Unlike the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, which has at least eight bus routes and the subway station named after the Bernabeu, the Vincent Calderon Stadium, also named after the greatest president in the history of the club, does not have such convenient transportation treatment. The stadium adjacent to the Manzalez River can only be reached by bus, and the subway is blocked. The best way for many fans to watch the game is to hike.

Therefore, whenever Atletico Madrid's home game, the streets and alleys of the stadium are often filled with Atletico Madrid fans hiking. Compared with the quiet Manzalez River, the "river" they formed is more noisy and surging, and pours into the Calderon Stadium.

This second leg of the Spanish Super Cup match allowed nearly 60,000 people to be able to accommodate 67,000 fans. Considering that this is not a formal league, it is just a warm-up match, and there are so many fans who can cheer for Atletico Madrid on the spot, which is already a good attendance rate.

Because of the team's outstanding performance in the first leg, everyone hopes to witness the team defeating Real Madrid on the spot and win the Spanish Super Cup.

They are here to witness this moment of glory.

Dong Jin climbed out through the attic window, then climbed up along the inclined roof with his hands and feet, and climbed to the top, where there was a small platform that could only accommodate one person.

He sat cross-legged there, then took out the radio from his pocket, stretched the antenna, and turned on the power.

After a rustling sound, he heard the familiar voice of Jose Maria.

"...Welcome to Vicente Calderon Stadium. The second leg of the Spanish Super Cup is about to start here! The stadium is almost full, listen to the sound..."

Dong Jin heard a louder sound than the rustling sound, and he knew it was the cheers from Calderon Stadium.

The sound made him feel excited and looked to the westward direction of his north. It was seven or eight kilometers away, and the sky was particularly bright, and that was where the Calderon Field was.

In Dong Jin's imagination, there must be bright lights and crowds of people. He seemed to be there when the sound from the radio came.

Although there is a TV at home, in the restaurant on the first floor, the TV stations from mainland China are played in a loop. Every Chinese diner who enters the "Dong Ji Tea Restaurant" can learn about what is going on in China through the CCTV News Broadcast.

But this TV cannot watch his favorite Atletico Madrid game because his parents did not buy paid TV broadcast packages, so it is naturally impossible to watch the game live.

He has always listened to the live broadcast of the competition through the cash register.

Then imagine the picture in your mind.

This gave him a strong sense of immersion.

But today he regretted that he could not think of Gao Zheng's heroic appearance just by thinking!

※※※

Gao Zheng wore Atletico Madrid's No. 9 jersey and followed his teammates into the Calderon Stadium. Here he received huge cheers, and this enthusiastic cheer made him clearly realize that this was the home court.

It is true that the feeling given to the players at home and away are different.

In this home environment, every home team player will have a sense of courage and strength, and his performance will naturally be completely different from playing away games.

This is the so-called "spiritual power".

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Gao Zheng has played at Calderon Stadium, but it is the first time he has played at home as an Atletico Madrid player, so it is quite commemorative that he has never played in this stadium in the previous warm-up matches.

Calderon Stadium is not as magnificent as the Bernabeu Stadium. The stands are shorter, but its momentum is not inferior to the Bernabeu Stadium, because the fans here are more fanatical than Real Madrid fans. After all, most of the Atletico Madrid teams are ordinary working people, and they are not as reserved as those elites in suits and tie. They come to this stadium just to vent their emotions and to fuck Real Madrid.

In the huge noise, players on both sides walked past the white arches and passed the Spanish Super Cup trophy.

Unlike the trophys of the Copa del Rey and La Liga champions, the Spanish Super Cup is very small. But despite this, it is difficult to ignore it because under the light, it shines silver and is very beautiful.

Every player walks past the trophy and just reach out to touch the trophy, but no one does this. After all, most people who play football are superstitious and believe that touching the trophy before the game will have bad luck.

Gao Zheng didn't have to do something unique in a unique way. He withdrew his gaze and walked onto the court with his teammates.

After all the pre-match procedures that should be available, Gao Zheng and Griezmann stood in the middle circle, stepping on the football under their feet.

Atletico Madrid has obtained the kick-off, and they will attack from the left side of the court to the right.

Gao Zheng and Griezmann looked at each other.

The Frenchman asked with a smile: "Hey, Gao, do you want to try again?"

Gao Zheng did not ask him what it meant to do again because he knew the answer. Although the two of them had not cooperated for long, the basic tacit understanding already existed.

He nodded and said in a simple Spanish word: "Okay."

"Cool!" Griezmann whistled.

As soon as his whistle fell, the referee of the game, David Fernandez Borbaran, blew the whistle to start the game.

"The competition begins!!"
