Real Madrid tied? !
Since Atletico Madrid's game was 3 hours behind Real Madrid's, when the news came that Real Madrid's away draw with Valladolid came, Atletico Madrid was preparing for the game at Mendizorozha Stadium.

After getting the news, Yang Hao confirmed it again immediately.

After receiving the affirmative answer, he was a little dazed.

"Real Madrid is really tied!"

Yang Hao said to the assistants.

Li Luo and others were immediately happy.

No one expected that before the game against Valencia, Real Madrid had already lost points.

This is really surprising.

But while they were rejoicing, they noticed Yang Hao's expression, which seemed to be thinking hard.

"What's wrong? The surprise came too suddenly, and you're a little confused?" Lillo asked with a smile.

Everyone was also very happy.

Real Madrid is tied. As long as Atletico Madrid defeats Alaves tonight, they can overtake Real Madrid and regain the top spot.

At this time, Atletico Madrid definitely has reason to be happy, even excited.

Opponent Alaves has suffered three consecutive defeats recently. Starting from the 3th round, they lost to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Real Mallorca.

Three consecutive defeats have also caused Alaves' league ranking to plummet, falling to the current 10th place in the league.

It can be said that the morale of Alaves today is definitely low.

Atletico Madrid is now taking advantage of his illness to take his life, and in one fell swoop, they can win over Alaves and return to the top of the list.

Why does Yang Hao not seem very happy?

"I'm wondering if I should tell the players the news?"

"Needless to say? This kind of good news must be told." Parales replied matter-of-factly.

But Li Luo noticed Yang Hao's worries.

Alaves, who have lost three consecutive games, are indeed in poor morale, but this does not mean that Alaves is weak, on the contrary.

Do you know when Alaves' last victory was?

Just before their third consecutive defeat, they defeated Deportivo La Coruña 3-1 at home.

And even in the third consecutive defeat, Alaves lost to Barcelona 2-3, which was almost a comeback; the loss to Real Madrid was because of the red card; the loss to Mallorca was 3-4.

It can be seen from the score and the process that the fighting spirit of the Alaves players is still very strong.

This team is by no means the kind of soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others, but a very tough team.

Facing such a team, they have faced strong teams in a row and indeed suffered three consecutive defeats. But who can guarantee that they will not break out this round?Or, when will they suddenly have a big breakout, or even start a winning streak?
Yang Hao's worries are actually very reasonable.

If the players knew that Real Madrid was tied, would their emotions in the game be affected?

"But I'm afraid I can't hide this, right?" Parales asked worriedly.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid's game is before Atletico Madrid. When the players finish their pre-match training, the results of the game there will definitely come out. Trying to hide it at this time will only make the players more suspicious.

You may even feel that Real Madrid has won.

Will this in turn affect the mood of Atletico Madrid players?

Paralles's concerns are reasonable, and Yang Hao should also give them full consideration.

Others can only give opinions on this kind of matter, and it is up to Yang Hao to decide.

This is the role of a head coach!
Yang Hao is not the kind of indecisive character. After listening to everyone's opinions, he thought about it for a while and immediately figured it out.

"Then tell them!"

Li Luo was a little surprised, and even vaguely felt that it was a bit risky. Should he think about it again?

Parales was overjoyed, feeling that his opinions were listened to by Yang Hao.

"I believe in them, just as they believe in me!" Yang Hao has made a decision and will not change it.

Today, the players in the Atletico Madrid team are all famous stars in European football in the future. However, if you want to achieve impressive results in professional football, it is impossible to do so without strong psychological quality and excellent ability to withstand pressure. of.

Weak players have been eliminated from the youth team and are unlikely to appear in the top league.

Not to mention achieving dazzling results in the top leagues, or even becoming the core player of each team.

In this case, the psychological quality of Atletico Madrid players is definitely the best.

Yang Hao believed that even if they knew, it would not have much impact.

They are young and inexperienced, but that does not mean they are stupid.

They know what to do and when to do it.

"Real Madrid is tied, so we have to win this game no matter what!"

Back on top, exhaling and raising eyebrows!
……

"Real Madrid is really tied?"

When Alaves' head coach Mane listened to the assistant coach's report in the home team's locker room, his eyes flashed for the first time.

The battle between the Madrid duo for the top spot has completely heated up.

Since the winter break, the two teams have been engaged in a war of words, with full firepower and endless fighting. It has become the hottest topic in Spain during the past period.

Everyone is looking forward to whether Real Madrid, which is full of superstars, is better, or is the young and energetic Atletico Madrid better?

After receiving a positive answer, Mane also fell into thinking.

There is no doubt that if Real Madrid draws, Atletico Madrid will definitely risk their lives.

The Sheets Legion will never let go of this God-given opportunity and will definitely try every means to win and overtake in the standings. Therefore, Atletico Madrid will definitely attack.

In the original plan, Mane hoped that Atletico Madrid would attack and then use defensive counterattacks to hit Atletico Madrid's back.

Alaves' local scorer Xavi Moreno has been highly favored for being selected for the Spanish national team due to his outstanding performance in recent times.

The 26-year-old scorer has reached the peak of his career this season. Alaves previously signed this direct descendant of Barcelona’s youth training from Jecolano for only $3, but now, his worth has More than 1000 million euros.

Mane is full of confidence in his favorite player. He believes that as long as the defense can hold up, Moreno will have the opportunity to tear apart Atletico Madrid's defense in front and break through the goal guarded by Van der Sar.

Thinking of this, Mane no longer hesitated.

When the players finished their pre-match training and returned to the locker room for final preparations before the game, Mane told the players the results of Real Madrid's game and also expressed his judgment on Atletico Madrid.

After losing to Real Madrid, many media accused Mane of being conservative, timid, and timid at the start of the home game, which led to the loss to Real Madrid.

But they didn't know that Alaves didn't have the financial resources to compete with Real Madrid.

Now, facing Atletico Madrid, the same is true.

"Xavi, after all of us in the midfield and backcourt grab the ball, we will hand it over to you and Jordi as soon as possible. You two are responsible for the counterattack. You must be quick and tear apart Atletico Madrid's defense. Do you understand?"

Jordi Cruyff, son of Barcelona godfather Cruyff.

He joined Manchester United from Barcelona in 96, was loaned to Celta Vigo in 99, and moved to Alaves on a free transfer in the summer of 2000.

Compared with his father, Jordi Cruyff's performance on the court was greatly inferior.

But this is also relative to wealthy teams.

At Alaves, Jordi Cruyff was barely adequate.

Especially with Moreno, both of them are from Barcelona's La Masia, and their cooperation is more tacit.

"Everyone!"

Before taking the field, Mane was doing his final mobilization.

"In the recent period, we have encountered strong enemies in a row and suffered three consecutive defeats. The league ranking has also dropped from the top at its peak to the 10th place now. But I am still full of confidence in the team and full of confidence in you. confidence."

"I always believe that we will be able to reverse the situation, catch up and return to the Champions League!"

"It starts tonight, with defeating Atletico Madrid!"

……

From the first minute of the game, Alaves was ready and set up a defensive formation at the front of the penalty area.

How conservative are Mane's teams?

Their first pass after kick-off actually kicked the ball directly to Atletico Madrid.

Of course, it's not about passing the ball, but about kicking the ball directly out of bounds in Atletico Madrid's half.

This is a very interesting decision.

Yang Hao was standing on the sidelines. When he saw this scene, the first picture that came to his mind was: Shen Teng's classic emoticon, with a shameless and bitchy look, stretching out his right hand and constantly raising his index finger and shouting , come here!

That's pretty much it for Alaves now.

Atletico Madrid did not disappoint them and really pushed out.

It was still the iconic high-position pressing, and the double midfielder combination of Gravesen and Baraja allowed Atletico Madrid to straighten its back.

The Sheets Legion launched a fierce attack on Alaves throughout the midfield.

Alaves also formed a 4231 formation. The arrowhead is Xavi Moreno, nicknamed "Bullet".

You can tell the characteristics of this player from his nickname. He is really a good player on the counterattack.

Yang Hao left Pochettino and Lucio in the backcourt, and other players pressed forward to attack.

He wants a goal!
In the first ten minutes, the game was one-sided, but Atletico Madrid had no good way to face Alaves' iron barrel formation.

But Yang Hao gradually saw the clues.

……

"Juliano."

Yang Hao looked at right back Belletti on the sidelines.

When the Brazilian looked over, he immediately made a gesture, telling Belletti to press forward, cooperate with Joaquin, and attack Alaves' left back Driver Gerry.

Veteran Driver Gerry was once Atletico Madrid's main right back when they won the Double Championship, but he is also capable of playing on the left.

After Begogna received a red card against Real Madrid, Driver Gerry took Begogna's place and temporarily served as left back.

But he is right-footed.

Right-footed players guard the left wing, and they are actually at a disadvantage when facing right-footed players like Joaquin and Belletti.

After Belletti received the latest instructions, Yang Hao immediately told Graveson and Deco that the team would attack Alaves' left flank and must score a goal first.

He even signaled that the double midfielders could go further forward, after all, there was only Moreno left in front of Alaves.

Starting from the 15th minute, Atletico Madrid put more players into attack.

Especially on the right, Joaquin leaned slightly inside and gave up the entire wing to Belletti. This made the Brazilian right back almost feel like he was playing Cafu or a winger, and his performance was also very good. active.

Mane also reacted immediately and immediately signaled the midfielder and central defender to pay attention to the left flank.

But when Alaves exposed his defensive problem on the left, especially after Atletico Madrid invested enough troops to create an advantage, Alaves became even more passive.

In the 20th minute, it was Joaquin who cooperated with Belletti on the right. The Brazilian dribbled the ball and broke into the right side of the penalty area, but Driver Gerry was chasing after him and stayed near the baseline. Tangled up Belletti, forcing the Brazilian to pass back.

After Joaquin stopped the ball, facing midfielder Magno who was returning to defense, he tried unsuccessfully to make a personal breakthrough, but suddenly passed the ball back to the edge of the penalty area.

After Baraja, who was wearing the armband of Atletico Madrid, stopped the ball, he bent his bow and arrow without waiting for the defender to approach, and fired a powerful and heavy shot from the right side of the penalty area.

This shot was very standard and of high quality, and it also penetrated Alaves' defense in the penalty area.

But goalkeeper Martin Herrera still stood in the most critical position.

But the shot was so powerful that Herrera couldn't stop it and let it go.

Pandiani, who had been ambushing the penalty area for a long time, was like a hound that had smelled its prey. He quickly moved forward to the edge of the small penalty area, faced the falling football, and stabbed the ball directly into Alavi. Sri Lanka's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

“Pandiani!!!”

"In the 20th minute, at the critical moment, Pandiani missed the shot with a kick and opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid!"

When Yang Hao saw Pandiani scoring from the sidelines, he couldn't help but applaud the Uruguayan center.

The whole person became excited instantly.

1 is better than 0!

Behind Yang Hao, Lillo and others had already huddled together and were celebrating loudly.

With this goal, the rest will be easy to handle.

……

Mane glanced at the visiting team's coaching bench depressedly, his eyes full of resentment.

Atletico Madrid scored a goal and the offensive weakened.

Atletico Madrid now is like Alaves at the beginning, where the old god is waiting for Alaves to press out and attack.

Isn't this too cunning?

Why do you have the same virtues as that old fox in Aragones?
No, Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid is much more difficult to deal with than Aragones' Mallorca.

When thinking of Aragones, Mane thought of the last round against Mallorca. His move against Aragones almost worked.

Thinking of this, he immediately decided to use it again against Atletico Madrid.

……

Time came to the second half in a blink of an eye.

Mane has been adjusting since the 60th minute.

He first replaced Magno with Uruguayan forward Ivan Alonso, forming a double striker in the frontcourt.

But in the 63rd minute, he replaced Jordi Cruyff with central defender Ivan Tomic to strengthen defense.

After consecutive substitutions, Alaves changed into a five-back formation.

After the team scored a goal, Yang Hao has been waiting for Mane's follow-up.

In the game against Mallorca, Alaves almost equalized the score at the last moment through continuous substitutions and adjustments, and even overturned Real Mallorca.

Therefore, Yang Hao has always been wary of Mane.

After seeing Alaves' continuous substitutions, Yang Hao also made a substitution in the 65th minute.

The young player Torres, who will not turn 3 until March, once again came on as a substitute.

This time he replaced Uruguayan center Pandiani.

"After you go up there, don't think about anything. Just stay close to Alaves' defense and rush forward when you find an opportunity. I'll let them pass the ball to you. Do you understand?"

As early as the pre-game tactical meeting, Torres already knew Yang Hao's plan, and also knew that Alaves would counterattack in the final stage of the game. He knew even more clearly that he was Yang Hao's backup and appeared at the critical moment.

This makes him excited!

"Fernando."

Before going on the court, Yang Hao grabbed Torres's neck forcefully and pulled him in front of him.

"Real Madrid is tied. Tonight is the best time for us to fight back. Whether we can get back to the top is up to you!"

Torres felt the burning anticipation from the coach's eyes, which made every cell in his body seem to be ignited.

"Don't worry, boss, I will never let you down!"

"Go!"

……

This is not the first time Torres has played.

As early as last season, he has already played for Atletico Madrid and has served as a substitute many times this season.

Everyone can see that Yang Hao has always focused on training Torres.

And this Atletico Madrid youngster has not yet performed very convincingly.

He even looked a little thin.

He's tall, but he's too young, and the coaching staff doesn't think he's suitable for gaining muscle yet.

This is also for the sake of his future career.

But within 3 minutes of playing, Torres made a sharp forward move that made Alaves' defense tremble. Unfortunately, the linesman raised the flag to indicate that Torres was offside.

Even so, Mane still felt a headache.

NND, this is used to attack and hit behind.

Torres is taller than Pandiani, but his current physical confrontation is not as good as that of the Uruguayan, but he is very fast.

When Yang Hao used him at this time, it was like holding a sword in front of Mane's throat. As long as Alavis moved forward, Yang Hao would stab him.

damn it!
...When the game reached the 82nd minute, Alaves still did not dare to invest too much force in the frontcourt attack.

But Atletico completed a steal in midfield and Baraja took the ball forward himself.

Just after passing the halfway line, Atletico Madrid's captain quickly sent a direct pass to the frontcourt to find Torres.

Under the interference of the defensive player, Torres failed to stop the ball with his first kick, and the ball rolled directly behind him.

Center defender Carmona chased the football back to defend. He even looked back at the Atletico Madrid boy and found that there was still some distance, so he slowed down slightly and wanted to pass the ball directly to his teammate Telles who was behind him. Reorganize the attack.

But just when Carmona thought he was sure of victory, Telles on the opposite side suddenly issued a warning.

"Be careful behind you!"

As soon as Carmona turned around, he saw a red and white figure passing by. His first instinctive reaction was: It's broken.

He wanted to get stuck, but the opponent was too fast and had already jumped in front of him.

His name is written on the back of the jersey, F. Torres.

Everyone in the entire stadium screamed.

He was clearly so far behind just now, why did he overtake him all of a sudden?
This speed is too fast!

After Torres rushed past Carmona, Telles on the opposite side immediately grabbed the ball and made a shovel, trying to keep Torres outside the penalty area with the ball.

But the Atletico Madrid youngster was very calm. He gently picked the ball up and overcame Telles' tackle. He also avoided it. He suddenly accelerated and went straight into the penalty area to catch up with the football he had just picked up. After seeing the goalkeeper attack, he made another pick with his right foot.

The football almost went over the head of the attacking goalkeeper and fell into the goal of Alaves behind him.

Torres' momentum continued unabated, and he quickly rushed out of the court, leaped high, and swung his right fist forcefully.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Torres!"

"16-year-old Torres scored a crucial La Liga goal!"

"Oh my God, he's incredible!"

"Wait, wait, all the viewers in front of the TV, I just confirmed that this is the youngest goal record in the history of La Liga, because Torres is only 16 years old now!"

"It's just unbelievable!"

"Tonight, Torres set a record as the youngest goalscorer in La Liga history. He broke the record of 1941 years, one month and six days set by Valencia youngster Juan Mena in December 12. Record for a young goalscorer!”

"Now, this honor belongs to Atletico Madrid! It belongs to Fernando Torres!"

……

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines and looked at Torres running in the court with disbelief.

He heard the announcement from the stadium and knew that Torres' goal broke the historical record of La Liga. This was something he had never thought about before.

It happened so suddenly that he was now full of surprises.

"Historical record of La Liga?" Yang Hao turned around and asked Lillo.

Lillo nodded heavily, he was also very excited and happy.

"This record has been covered in dust for 60 years!"

Who would have thought?

Even Yang Hao himself didn't pay attention to this. He was slowly cultivating Torres, constantly giving him some opportunities to play and let him receive training. Who would have thought that he would break the record.

It’s so unbelievable!

Torres was also extremely excited. After celebrating with his teammates, he ran to the visiting team's coaching bench, shouted "Boss", then rushed over and hugged Yang Hao forcefully.

"Thank you, boss!"

Yang Hao was also happy for him, "You deserve this, keep up the good work!"

"Yes." Torres nodded in agreement with a smile and quickly ran back to the stadium.

Suddenly the record was broken. Not only Torres was excited, but everyone at Atletico Madrid was also excited.

On the contrary, Alaves, who scored two goals, obviously lost his fighting spirit.

The last few minutes of the game turned into garbage time.

Atletico Madrid finally defeated Alaves 2-0 away with goals from Pandiani and Torres.

After the referee's whistle, all the Atletico Madrid players did not stay on the court to celebrate. Instead, they ran to the sidelines and gathered in front of Yang Hao, all of them looking forward to it.

Yang Hao took the laptop from his assistant Rocca and pointed the screen directly at the Atletico Madrid players.

At this moment, in the real-time standings on La Liga's official website, Atletico Madrid has successfully overtaken Real Madrid to the top with a 1-point advantage.

When seeing this scene, Atletico Madrid players cheered excitedly.

They hugged each other in twos and threes and went straight to the sidelines to celebrate and shout unbridled.

After a month, they finally returned to the top of La Liga!

This is a full week earlier than Yang Hao expected two months ago!
At this moment, all of them admired and appreciated the head coach even more.

……

New record!Back on top!

After Atletico defeated Alaves 2-0, the news quickly spread throughout Spain, Europe, and even the world.

At the same time, there are also Yang Hao's words at the post-match press conference.

"No one can knock us off the lead again!"

To many people, these words seemed particularly arrogant and arrogant, but in the eyes of most neutral fans and media, they more clearly demonstrated Yang Hao's personality and confidence.

Yang Hao is satisfied with the team's performance under heavy pressure and believes that Atletico Madrid has become more and more mature.

"I can't understand those people who are still questioning us, whether they have watched our games."

"I believe that everyone who has watched our games will not deny that we are already one of the most competitive teams in La Liga. We are no worse than other teams, even our rivals in the same city!"

After more than a month's absence, returning to the top of La Liga, Yang Hao said that this is a very valuable experience for Atletico Madrid.

"This will make us cherish the results we have achieved so far, and it will also make us more in awe of every game that follows. We will devote [-]% of our concentration to training and games."

Yang Hao believes that returning to the top of the list will be a great incentive for Atletico Madrid.

"It allowed us to see our strength and potential once again, and it also made us more confident."

Regarding Torres, Yang Hao firmly believes that he will be the best attacker in Europe in the future.

"In the locker room just now, I gave him enough praise and affirmation, but I also gave him more advice. I think this is a responsible behavior for him, because he is still very young and immature, and There is a lot of potential to be tapped.”

For more than half a year, Torres has been practicing with Kiko, and has also been strengthening the polishing of various technical details. However, this is a kind of water-mill effort, and it cannot see results overnight.

In particular, Torres' current body is not suitable for strengthening muscles and strength, which makes Yang Hao unable to entrust him with important tasks.

Adriano?
Come on, the Brazilian is born with a strong body, this is his talent.

But Torres is different, he is still relatively young.

At the press conference, Yang Hao also called on the media to treat Torres calmly and rationally, especially the La Liga record.

"I don't think it means anything to a professional player."

Yang Hao pretended to be sober in the world and poured a bucket of cold water on Torres.

"I believe that records like this will be broken sooner or later. Indulging in this will only make players easily satisfied and difficult to improve. This is not a good phenomenon."

Yang Hao hopes that Torres can stay hungry, maintain a good mentality, continue to work hard, and constantly improve himself.

In the crucial 19th round, which was the half-way period of La Liga, Atletico Madrid reversed Real Madrid and won the half-way championship. This is somewhat exciting.

The same is true for Yang Hao.

"The last time we won the half-distance championship was five years ago, and we won the double that season."

Yang Hao's implication is that to win another half-season championship, Atletico Madrid's goal is still to win the double crown.

The difference is that the double crown in the 95/96 season was La Liga and the Copa del Rey, while the goal this season is La Liga and the UEFA Cup.

Yang Hao said, "My players and I are ready to meet all challenges."

"We are fearless!"

……

As the news media reported, Yang Hao's words at the post-match press conference were also spread by the media.

Many doubters still believe that Yang Hao is too arrogant and only won the halfway championship. There are still 19 rounds left before he actually wins the championship.

Who knows what will happen in the next few months?
However, the key to winning the La Liga half-season championship with a lineup with the youngest average age among the four major leagues was to reverse Real Madrid in the 19th round. This once again put Atletico Madrid in the limelight of the media.

Although AS and Marca, the two mouthpieces of Real Madrid, still questioned Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid as always, El Pais, ABC and other media have changed their attitudes and believe that Atletico Madrid's half-time championship is well deserved.

Leading for a long time, then having some ups and downs, but immediately reaching the top again. Such a half-distance championship is still very valuable.

As El Pais said, "Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid are subverting the power structure of La Liga."

"Based on Atletico Madrid's performance this season, coupled with Atletico Madrid's young lineup, we have absolutely reason to believe that in the next few years, Atletico Madrid will definitely be a major competition that the La Liga championship contenders cannot avoid. opponent."

ABC is reminding Atletico Madrid that winning the half-time championship is certainly worthy of joy, but don't be careless.

Because rival Real Madrid is still recruiting.

With the plan to sign Nesta frustrated, Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy revealed that Real Madrid is actively operating Parma's Cannavaro and is willing to offer 26 million euros for the 2000-year-old Italian iron guard.

This is undoubtedly quite tempting.

Serie A has played 16 rounds so far this season, and Cannavaro's Parma ranks 8th.

Both Cannavaro and Parma stated in interviews with the media that they had no intention of leaving Serie A during the winter break.

Nowadays, Italy is in the glorious period of the Mini World Cup, and Parma is also a strong team that cannot be underestimated. Cannavaro wants to write a legend with this team.

……

In addition to Spanish media, European media have also generally paid attention to Atletico Madrid and head coach Yang Hao this season.

The German Kicker magazine dedicated a long report to introduce Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid, and even used the title "Atletico Madrid's strong recovery, crazy miracle worker-Yang Hao" for the report.

In this report, Kicker Magazine spoke highly of Atletico Madrid as the most amazing team in European football this season.

"Yang Hao's team has abundant physical fitness, excellent tactical execution, and quick and efficient transitions between offense and defense."

"Sharp attack and solid defense, which seemed like a paradox of football philosophy in the past, are incredibly integrated in today's Atletico Madrid."

"Former Atletico Madrid coach and legendary Italian coach Sacchi believed in an interview that this was the offensive and defensive integration he wanted to achieve at Atletico Madrid, but due to the team's lineup at the time, he was unable to achieve his tactical goals."

"Yang Hao helped him achieve it."

In addition to Kicker magazine, French L'Equipe also reported on Yang Hao, with the title: Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid put their stamp on La Liga!
L'Equipe believes that the progress of La Liga over the past few years is obvious to all.

La Liga, which advocates technology and offense, has attracted a large number of fans with its entertainment. Whether in European football or around the world, it is rapidly expanding its appeal.

But things have changed significantly in recent seasons.

Last season, Deportivo stunned the world by beating Real Madrid and Barcelona to win the title.

So far this season, Atletico Madrid has defeated the superstar-studded Real Madrid with an amazing performance and won the La Liga half-time championship, which also made everyone unbelievable.

L'Equipe believes that as the two traditional giants of La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both facing challenges from powerful new forces, which makes La Liga more suspenseful and interesting.

"People are tired of the game where the two giants took turns in the past. They like to see passionate new forces like Atletico Madrid that advocate offensive football to challenge the authority of the giant teams."

But L'Equipe also believes that challenger Atletico Madrid is far from successful yet.

Even Deportivo La Coruna, which won the championship last season, is obviously not as good as before this season.

From the overall strength point of view, Deportivo is stronger than last season, especially after the introduction of Belleron, Capdevila and Molina, the level of Super Deportivo has been improved to the naked eye.

But multi-front operations, coupled with the strong revival of Real Madrid's introduction of Zidane and Figo, have overshadowed Deportivo La Coruña.

L'Equipe believes that Florentino is the most ambitious operator in European football this past summer. Not only did he invest heavily in signing Zidane and Figo, but he also signed Makelele, Celades and Forla. Vio and three other top defensive midfielders in La Liga.

This makes Real Madrid look particularly strong.

Atletico Madrid can suddenly emerge this season, and head coach Yang Hao is the key.

L'Equipe believes that this talented young coach, who was regarded as a big liar by Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, defeated Real Madrid at home and defeated Real Madrid in the middle of the championship, making Florentino's remarks unfounded. break.

"But this is just the beginning for Atletico."

"Barcelona, ​​which is eager to rebuild, has set its sights on Atletico Madrid; Ferguson, who is far away in the Premier League, has been troubled by Roy Keane's replacement. Graveson is the type of player he admires; and there is also the 18-year-old The Brazilian genius Adriano has attracted the attention of many wealthy teams in Europe..."

"Atletico Madrid performed very well, but for them, how to maintain this excellent performance is the real challenge."

……

After 19 rounds of La Liga, Atletico Madrid leads by 1 point, with 19 wins, 14 draws and 3 losses in 2 games, with 45 points, ranking first in La Liga.

This is the return of the Sheets to the top of La Liga after an absence of more than a month!
Real Madrid followed with 44 points.

Barcelona's performance has also improved a lot in recent times, beating Valencia with 35 points and rising to third place in La Liga. Valencia and Barcelona have the same points, but they lost the match and can only be ranked fourth.

Deportivo fell directly to fifth place, followed by Real Mallorca.

At the end of the half, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have led the following teams by as many as 9 points. The advantage can be said to be quite obvious.

As many analysts have said before, after the winter break and January schedule, the entire La Liga championship situation has become clear.

At present, the only one capable of challenging Atletico Madrid for the championship is Real Madrid.

The Madrid duo are currently just 1 point apart, and the title race is bound to continue.

The three major European bookmakers have also adjusted their odds. Atletico Madrid has transformed from the original favorite for relegation to the current favorite for winning, with odds of winning second only to Real Madrid.

This can also show the fans' change in Atletico Madrid.

……

Round 20 of La Liga.

In this round, Atletico Madrid played before Real Madrid and went to an away game to challenge Real Oviedo.

Yang Hao also met his ex Antic again.

The first time the two met was in the first round of the league. At that time, Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid had just reorganized. Antic brought Real Oviedo to the door to destroy the situation, and vowed to clear his name.

As a result, they were almost beaten by Atletico Madrid at the Calderon Stadium.

Now that they meet again, Atletico Madrid is already the leader of La Liga, and Real Oviedo is also ranked 13th in La Liga. There is a high possibility of relegation.

However, Antic's tone obviously changed.

Before the game, in an interview with the media, Antić admitted that Yang Hao's transformation of Atletico Madrid was indeed eye-catching. He also recognized that Atletico Madrid was the best team in the first half of La Liga and deserved to win the second half of the championship. Return.

But despite this, Yang Hao and his team still did not stay away from home.

Because before this game, Atletico Madrid defender Gaspar transferred to Real Oviedo.

This is also Atletico Madrid's only transfer operation during the winter break.

Gaspar's reason for the transfer was that he felt he did not get the respect he deserved within the Atletico Madrid team.

As the main force of the team last season, Gaspar was reduced to a substitute this season, or even a substitute among the substitutes. His playing time was very scarce, which made the Spanish defender very dissatisfied.

When Antici's Real Orvieto extended an olive branch, Gaspar agreed without hesitation.

The total transfer transaction is only 150 million euros.

After Gaspar moved to Real Oviedo, he started in this game against Atletico Madrid.

Antic set up a five-back formation.

But even so, Real Oviedo couldn't last long at Atletico Madrid.

In the 37th minute, Vicente broke through from the left and sent a wonderful pass, and Deco hit a header in the penalty area.

After changing sides in the second half, Baraja and Vicente scored successively to help Atletico beat Real Oviedo 3-0 away from home.

Although Antic's team performed very tenaciously, they still failed to stop Atletico Madrid's stormy offensive.

Gaspar's first game at Real Oviedo ended in a complete defeat.

A little later, Real Madrid visited the Mestanha Stadium. With Morientes' assist and Raul's goal, Real Madrid scored the only goal and beat Valencia 1-0 away from home.
