Atletico Madrid is currently ranked second and Real Madrid third after one round of less games. If Real Madrid can defeat Atletico Madrid by virtue of their home court advantage, they can move up one place to second place.
If Atletico Madrid can win at the Bernabeu as they wish, they can continue to occupy the top spot.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said in an interview with Marca: "Atletico Madrid has won 11 consecutive games in all competitions this season and is gaining momentum. This shows that there are no problems with their performance on both offense and defense.
So this game is tough!
Of course, no matter how many difficulties there are, we can only have one goal, which is to defeat our opponents and get three points!"
As the team's number one star, Ronaldo is of course the focus of media interviews.
The Portuguese superstar said in an interview: "Everyone knows this will be a difficult game, but we are confident of winning at home.
After losing in the Copa del Rey final, the whole team was in pain, and we all hope to beat them again!"
After Isco moved to Real Madrid, he continued his good form in Malaga and has established himself in Real Madrid, becoming the team's offensive and defensive hub.
The battle between the former Malaga Twins attracted the attention of the media.
When talking about Li Chuanqi, Isco said: "When I was in Malaga, I worked very well with Li and I knew what kind of player he was.
So I think the key to defense in this game is how to contain his performance.
As for the two of us, we are not opposite each other, so there shouldn’t be many opportunities for face-to-face confrontation.
I hope we both perform well in the competition!”
When talking about the prospects of the game, Isco said: "The whole team is very confident. I believe we can achieve the final victory!"
As a defense general, Ramos talked about Li Chuanqi: "I originally thought that Li would go to Real Madrid and become my teammates, but who knew that he would eventually choose Atletico Madrid.
This is not the first time I have played against him. The past games have only left me with pain.
I hope this time it is not pain, but joy!
We will do everything we can to curb his performance, that’s for sure!”
Simeone was very low-key in an interview with the media: "The Copa del Rey has passed, and the players of the two teams have changed a lot. This is a new matchup. Everyone knows that the Bernabeu game is difficult, and we will try our best to do our best.
"
When talking about the victory or defeat, Simeone said: "I hope to escape from the Bernabeu unscathed!"
Li Chuanqi said in an interview: "The Bernabeu left me with many good memories, and I hope that the process and result of this game can still leave me with good memories.
There is no doubt that Real Madrid is strong, but we are also strong this season.
In this kind of strong dialogue, the competition is often about will, and Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are both teams known for their will."
The coaches and stars of the two teams expressed their opinions on the game, and the media also made predictions about the game.
Aspen made a pre-match prediction: “This newspaper believes that Real Madrid will win by a small score.
Atletico Madrid has a sharp striker. Li has just returned from injury. It is still unclear whether his previous hot form can be continued.
And Cristiano Ronaldo is in hot form. In the La Liga match that ended three days ago, he scored twice!
Bell returned from injury, and Real Madrid's offense was in full swing on both wings.
Coupled with Benzema, Real Madrid's forward line will cause a lot of trouble for Atletico Madrid's defense.
In addition to Li, Atletico Madrid has scored consecutive goals in the last two games. Real Madrid needs to pay attention to this player.
Costa and Villa are in average form recently, as long as they are given appropriate pressure, they should do nothing!
As for the tactics of the two teams, there are many similarities between the two teams. For example, they both attach great importance to defense and have very fast counterattacks.
The difference is that Real Madrid counterattacks faster and Atletico Madrid retreats faster!"
World Sports News said: "In this battle, Real Madrid has a slight advantage. After all, they are playing at home, and based on this alone, they should win.
Of course Atletico Madrid will not give up, but considering that they are playing away from home, it will definitely be quite difficult to win a victory.
Simeone is very aware of this, so when he was interviewed by the media, he hoped to escape from the Bernabeu unscathed.
The meaning of this is very clear, that is, I hope to achieve a draw.
Atletico Madrid striker Li has just returned from injury and is unlikely to start, because in such a high-intensity game, it is easy to get injured.
After this game, Atletico Madrid will soon play the second round of the Champions League group stage.
So Simeone will definitely consider the Champions League, and he definitely hopes that Li can stay healthy and participate in the Champions League.
This game is the best opportunity for Atletico Madrid's other forward players to prove themselves.
Last season's Copa del Rey final is still vivid in my mind. In an interview, Portuguese superstar Cristiano showed a strong desire to win, "After losing in the Copa del Rey final, the whole team was in pain. All of us hope to defeat them again."
!'
Cristiano has been in good form recently. In the last round of away game, he scored two goals for Real Madrid!
He should perform well in this game!"
The British media focused on Li Chuanqi and Bale because both are famous for their speed!
The British Times said: “This will be a confrontation between the two players with the highest transfer fees this summer!
The two are best at the same position, both as wingers.
There are also many similarities in characteristics, both are fast forward horses.
The difference is that Li has already proven himself in La Liga and the Champions League, while Bale has just stepped into La Liga and has not performed much in the Champions League.
They will give us a speed competition, and I hope we can see the two of them competing directly on the court to see who is faster!
This will be a highlight of the Madrid derby!
At the same time, this is also an opportunity for Bell to clear his name, and we have reason to believe that he will never let go of such a good opportunity!"
Marca and Mundo Deportivo are not optimistic about Atletico Madrid, believing that Real Madrid at home is more likely to win.
Atletico Madrid was very calm about this. After all, the opponent was Real Madrid and it was an away game.
In this case, it is very normal not to be favored by the media.
The more critical point is that Atletico Madrid did not take the media's comments and predictions to heart at all.
Games are played, not spoken or written.
In addition to the competition of strength, will, skills and tactics, football matches also involve luck.
If an opportunity arises and you cannot seize it, but the other party can seize it, then the result will definitely be different.
This has something to do with the players' on-the-spot performance.
At 8:30 pm on the 28th, Atletico Madrid took the club bus and drove into the Bernabeu Stadium!
