What needs to be talked about is Diego Costa.

Diego Costa is a Brazilian player, but he also has Portuguese nationality. He can choose to join the Brazilian national team or the Portuguese national team.

Before last season, Diego Costa had no such trouble because he was not renamed. There were too many strikers worth 6 million euros in Brazil and Spain, and neither national team had the intention to recruit him.

It's different now.

With his amazing efficiency of 28 league appearances last season, he has attracted worldwide attention.

In Atletico Madrid, Diego Costa's performance is second only to Aguero. After Aguero left, it was difficult for him to compete for the main position with him even the '40 million euro Falcao'.

Such a brave performance naturally attracted the attention of the national team. Whether it is the Spanish national team or the Brazilian national team, they are actually troubled by one problem, that is, the "powerless front line". Although there are top scorers on their front line, the problem of difficulty in scoring goals on the front line still exists, so the two major football powers launched a "divine front" battle.

The Spanish were the first to do it.

As early as July, Spanish national team coach Bosque had dinner with Diego Costa with Football Association Secretary General Perez. Diego Costa told the two that they were willing to play for the Spanish team.

However, after that, the situation took a sharp turn.

First, the Brazilian Football Association sent an official notice to the Spanish Football Association, saying that Costa had participated in two friendly matches on behalf of the Brazilian team. Then, Brazilian coach Menesez also stated, "Only I have the right to decide whether to recruit Diego Costa. No one except me is qualified to decide whether to recruit him into other national teams. A player who has played two friendly matches for Brazil cannot play for other countries."

Although these two friendly matches are not formal matches recognized by FIFA, the Brazilian Football Association warned in a tough tone that if the Spanish team insisted on calling Diego Costa, they would appeal to FIFA.

If Brazil insists on not letting go, it will also become a big problem for Spain to recruit Costa.

Diego Costa became the most embarrassing person.

More than a year ago, Diego Costa had no such worries at all. He also thought that he might enter the national team in the future. His always thought was that he would enter the national team that would invite first.

After the Copa America ended last year, Diego Costa entered the Brazilian national team, but only participated in two warm-up matches. He has never been on the Brazilian national team list again and has not played a single match in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

So when the Spanish national team came to invite with sincerity, Diego Costa was immediately moved. He hoped to join the Spanish national team, rather than always 'judging the Brazilian team'.

As a result, it will be embarrassing for him to return to Brazil until now.

In addition to the daily training of Atletico Madrid, Wan Sheng also comforted Diego Costa, "As long as you can perform well, all your choices will be right!"

"That's right?"

Wan Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, football is like this. They compete for you because you are outstanding. You choose Spain or Brazil, which is right because you have two nationalities. If you choose one of them and perform very well, no matter what the other country says, it represents your success. On the contrary, no one cares about what national team you enter, just like a year ago, do you understand?"

Diego Costa nodded.

After listening to Wan Sheng's words, he felt much more at ease.

That's right, it's like more than a year ago, whether in Spain or Brazil, which team cares about him? It's different now, it's all because of their good performance.

So, the same goes for the future. As long as you perform well, no matter how you choose, it will be right. Whatever others say is just to prove your excellence.

After thinking it through, Diego Costa also became much more energetic in training.

On September 10, all players returned to the team.

Atletico Madrid began collective training and carefully prepared for the upcoming first game of the UEFA Champions League.

The Group A of Atletico Madrid is undoubtedly the most popular among the eight groups. This group is the unsurprising "Death Group". Among the four teams, except for Naples, it will be a pity that Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid will be eliminated.

There is also a lot to say between the three teams.

For example, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid are involved because of the relationship between Wan Sheng. The relationship between the two clubs is very friendly. In the summer transfer, Boateng transferred from Manchester City to Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid sold Aguero to Manchester City.

Now that the two sides meet in the Champions League, the direct confrontation will definitely spark a lot of sparks.

Bayern Munich and Wan Sheng also have many topics. Wan Sheng led Manchester City, but met Bayern Munich in the group stage. The two sides fought twice, and Manchester City finally won a complete victory.

Now that Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are separated, in a sense, it is also a chance for Bayern Munich to take revenge.

In this season's UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich is one of the most popular teams. The reason is not that Bayern Munich only has the German overlord and European giants, but because the final venue - UEFA sets the final venue at Bayern Munich's home Allianz Stadium. In other words, as long as Bayern Munich can reach the final, they will have the opportunity to win the championship trophy at their home court. It is conceivable how much Bayern Munich wants to enter the Champions League final.

So in the entire group A, the worst thing to deal with is Bayern Munich.

Atletico Madrid's first round Champions League opponent is Bayern Munich, and the game is at Calderon Stadium.

The first group match was played at home or was it beneficial.

Every team participating in the Champions League wants to get a good start in the first round, and Atletico Madrid is no exception. Home games undoubtedly add some chances of victory.

Bayern Munich has just experienced a tragic season. Perhaps all Bayern fans are unwilling to look back on the just-dead 2010-2011. For them, it was simply a nightmare that could never wake up, and it was like endless ties.

But no matter what, the facts cannot be changed.

Bayern Munich really had a miserable season. All fronts were defeated completely, the head coach was replaced after the season, and the Champions League was disgraced by Inter Milan... But what you should face has to face. Like previous years, Bayern Munich completed the transfer early in June. This is a tradition of Bayern Munich. He likes to handle all or most of the transfers of new players before the start of the season.

Bayern Munich is the benchmark for transfers in the Bundesliga. In order to solve the many difficulties encountered by the team, they have strengthened their recruitment and recruitment efforts - German goalkeeper Neuer 22 million, German goalkeeper Peterson 9.8 million, Rafinia 8.5 million, the transfer fee for these three generals alone reaches 40.3 million euros, and even the unknown loan fee for Usa Mikhishi is as high as 300,000 euros.

Bayern's recruitment expenses reached 40.6 million euros throughout the summer, and the money spent by Bayern's family accounts for nearly 30% of all 18 teams.

40.6 million euros is not the summer that spends the most money in Bayern history, but it is also the second time in recent years that the club spent so much money in the history of the club except Tony, Klose and Ribery joined in the summer of 2007.

The signings in the new season are very targeted, especially after joining Neuer, Rafinia and others, which has been very good at adding the defensive issues that have been overlooked in the Van Gaal era, and it is reasonable that players such as Otel and Craft who have no position at Bayern Mourinho have left.

After completing the signing, Bayern Munich's defense became much stronger, which solved most of the team's problems.

German media are looking forward to Bayern Munich's performance in the new season.

A few days before the game, Atletico Madrid has been working hard to prepare for the game. Since the end of the international game day, the team has been preparing for the game against Bayern Munich.

The club attaches great importance to the game.

This is the first time Atletico Madrid has entered the Champions League stadium since 1996, so fans have also burst into extreme enthusiasm. The tickets for the game were sold out early. It can be imagined that the stadium will definitely be crowded on the day of the game.

Atletico Madrid is not devoted to the game. There is another major problem that the club has not solved, that is, the team's TV broadcast rights contract.

Just as the outside media believes that if a club does not sell the right to broadcast the TV, the game will not be broadcast live on. This loss is not only the TV broadcast fee, but also has a great impact on the club's image and publicity. With Atletico Madrid winning two consecutive games in the league and defeating Valencia 3-1 away, all media have seen the strength of Atletico Madrid. When Atletico Madrid showed its strength, those TV media also saw the business opportunities of TV broadcasting.

The first is pro Radio and TV broadcasting rights. The negotiations with Atletico Madrid have been underway. Previously, pro Radio and TV broadcasting was very dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid's "privately" selling the TV broadcasting rights in the "Asian region". When the two sides could not reach an agreement, the contract could not be finalized.

But with Atletico Madrid's outstanding performance, pro radio and satellite TV returned to the negotiating table.

After considering it, the senior management of pro-Broadcasting TV found that apart from the Asian distribution of live broadcasts in the game, the others had little impact, and this could also reduce the price of TV broadcasting fees. So they wanted to negotiate the price based on the game sessions.

"One home game, 1.5 million euros."

This is the price offered by pro radio and satellite TV. (~^~)
