When the whistle at the end of the training sounded on the training ground, there was no noise or cheer. Looking closely, there was no player standing besides the coaches in the training ground at dusk.

All Atletico Madrid players who participated in the training collapsed on the grass, only caring about breathing heavily, and not caring about anything else.

Their head coach Simeone's voice rang above their heads: "Congratulations, gentlemen, you all came out of hell alive!"

If outsiders hear his words, they will feel that they are too exaggerated at all. Just training, what does it have to do with hell?

But every Atletico Madrid player will agree with the head coach's words from the bottom of his heart.

They really came out of hell...

Two weeks of physical training are no different from hell for them.

High-intensity training makes them worse than death every day.

Not to mention those new players who have just joined the team, even the players who have played in the team for a season were shocked by this training intensity.

When they transferred to Atletico Madrid last season, Atletico Madrid's physical training was coming to an end or end, so they had not experienced such high-intensity training.

But in private communication, they knew that the previous training was not so terrible.

Logically speaking, Atletico Madrid won the league championship last season and successfully defended the title should be considered a successful season.

But looking at Simeone's gritting teeth during training, it's like the team suffered a huge failure last season.

Although he won the league championship, Simeone didn't think last season was a success.

Because his team was eliminated in the Champions League and was eliminated by his arch rival Real Madrid.

This has made Simeone feel resentful.

Including the 2013-2014 season, his team has lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons.

For Atletico Madrid's head coach, which one is more painful to lose the league championship or lose to Real Madrid?

After being eliminated by Real Madrid, Simone kept breathing in her heart.

So this season, his goal is very clear, which is to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League.

He has led the team to win two La Liga titles, and Atletico Madrid has only won eleven league titles in history. With only three consecutive championships, he led the team to complete one.

In addition, he also led the team to win a Cup of Kings, an Europa League, and an UEFA Super Cup.

Such honors are enough to make him ranked first in Atletico Madrid's top coach list, or even first.

But Simeone was not satisfied.

For him, only the Champions League championship is worth everything but pursuit.

Only by winning the Champions League can he become the undisputed first person in the history of Atletico Madrid.

He knew it was not easy for the team to defend the championship in the Spanish Super League last season, but he was worried that the players would feel slack and felt that it would be great to be able to defend the title successfully. This would bring changes to his plan.

So he has to use rigorous training to tell all players what is so great about defending champions? We are the ones who want to win the Champions League!

"...You guys who have walked out of hell are stronger than anyone else than ever. Believe me, you can beat any opponent in the new season." Diego Simeone continued. "So I set a small goal..."

Speaking of this, Simeone raised a finger, although few players lying on the ground should be able to see it.

"We're going to win the Champions League this season."

Hearing the head coach's words, many Atletico Madrid players who were still lying on the ground suddenly stood up and looked at their head coach in surprise.

No one expected that such a grand goal would appear in front of them without warning without warning. And the head coach even called this goal a "small goal"?!

Is winning the Champions League a small goal?

Even for a super giant like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it is a very difficult goal to achieve!

How difficult is it to win the Champions League? Atletico Madrid players know better than others, because they were only more than one minute away from the championship in the last time in the Champions League final, but they missed the match.

Real Madrid still reversed while leading almost the entire game.

How difficult is it to win the Champions League? It’s so difficult!

Such a difficult goal was so downtrodden by the boss, and he even claimed to be a "small goal"... He was afraid of bringing pressure to us, so he said so?

There were many people who were so scared that they were supported, but there was no Gao Zheng.

He was still lying on the ground, his chest was undulating violently, as if he would even make a sound.

But he was laughing.

He heard Simeone's ambition, which happened to be his ambition.

He is now very happy that he chose Atletico Madrid and chose a head coach like Diego Simeone.

Because the head coach is not an easy person to satisfy, and he happens not to be an easy person to satisfy...

Just because of Simeone's words, he is full of expectations for the new season and has fewer complaints about the devil training that just ended...

※※※

The first official match of Atletico Madrid in the new season will begin on August 14th, and the opponent is Barcelona, ​​who snatched the league championship by them last season.

Is this really a bad time to join Atletico Madrid as the league champion last season, and his opponent defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

That Super Cup is considered a battle of revenge for Atletico Madrid.

This time, it is considered to be the battle of revenge in Barcelona.

Barcelona was invincible last season and eliminated Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey. In the end, they defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-1 in the final and won the Copa del Rey.

In the Champions League, they swept Europe and beat giants like Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich to the bottom. In the end, they beat Juventus 3:1 in the Champions League final.

If it hadn't been for the failure of the league and lost to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona would have won the triple crown last season.

As a result, Enrique missed Guardiola's record.

The failure against Atletico Madrid last season really made him feel like he was in his throat.

But now he still has a chance to take revenge, which is in the next Spanish Super Cup.

Before this Spanish Super Cup, the media in the Catalonian region had already shouted the slogan of "revenge on Madrid". People who don't know it still think it is related to Catalonia's independence.

However, the Catalan media has indeed mixed many political factors into the sport of football, especially when the independence craze has been rising in recent years, the results of the Barcelona Football Club are also the emotional sustenance of Catalans.

That's why Club Barcelona calls itself "more than just a football club."

For both teams from Madrid, they were both hostile enough.
