Every Madrid derby is more than just a game, it's a clash of emotions, a battle of strategies, and it's one of the most anticipated days of the year for fans. Simeone's remarks in the pre-match press conference not only showed his confidence in the team, but also gave us ordinary fans a sense of the tension before the derby.
Simeone mentioned that whether at home or away, Atletico Madrid has shown good strength and fighting power against Real Madrid. This time, the showdown at the Bernabeu will undoubtedly be a tough battle. But in Simeone's words, I could feel an unspoken determinationAtletico are ready。They know that the opponent is strong, Real Madrid's coaches and players are at the top level, but Atletico are not vegetarians, they have their own tactics and strategies.
Special mention of Barrios, Simeone's words make me look forward to the player. A player who can play in multiple positions in midfield is crucial to tactical set-up and to cope with changes in opponents. Barrios' versatility, combined with his ability to keep improving, makes me believe he will be a key figure in the derby.
Simeone's approach to the starting lineup was mysterious, and although he didn't say it explicitly, it revealed his confidence in the lineup. This kind of self-confidence is a great encouragement for the team. Whether Morata or Depay starts, I believe Simeone's decision was well thought out.
Speaking about the current state of the team, Simeone said he wasn't sure if it was the best moment of the season, but I think thatEvery opportunity to face Real Madrid is the best moment for Atletico to show themselves and prove themselves。Atletico can always inflict damage on Real Madrid, not just technically or tactically, but more psychologically. Real Madrid have room to lose, but that's what motivates them – they know they have to give it their all.
For the fans, Simeone doesn't have much to say, because we all know that a derby is much more than a win or a loss. It is an emotional release and a manifestation of unconditional support for the team. We're looking forward to seeing Atletico at the Bernabeu and expect them to pull off another miracle.
On the eve of the derby, as an ordinary football fan, I couldn't have been more emotional. Every Madrid derby has the potential to write a new legend. And for this time, I am looking forward to witnessing Atletico's glory moments at the Bernabeu. Whatever the result, this game will be a memory that we all share, because that's football, that's the charm of the Madrid derby.
