Chapter 294 The perfect 2007! A tough 2008! [A big chapter with ten thousand words, please beg me to subscribe]

Atletico Madrid conquered the world!

When Atletico Madrid won the Club World Cup again at RB Tokyo, the Spanish newspaper Marca in Madrid reported the game on the front page and spoke highly of Atletico Madrid.

Another grand slam!

In the history of Spanish football, there are only 2 Grand Slams, both from Atletico Madrid!

Moreover, they are all Atletico Madrid coached by Yang Hao!

Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid can be said to have reached a new peak.

As the best player of the Club World Cup, Kaka performed very eye-catchingly. He led the sheet army and completely destroyed Boca Juniors' defense with overwhelming momentum in Yokohama.

Everyone can clearly see that the cooperation between Kaka and Messi is becoming more and more skillful and outstanding.

The connection and interaction between the two superstars, especially their small-scale cooperation, gave all defensive players a headache.

Boca Juniors head coach Russo expressed high respect for Atletico Madrid in an interview.

"They have the best manager in the world, the best players and play the best football in the world."

"I have no doubt they have the ability to solve the game at any time."

"This is the biggest gap between us and Atletico Madrid."

Marca believes that there is no more genuine compliment than the sincere admiration from an opponent.

As Atletico Madrid's number one superstar, Kaka's performance is still satisfactory.

Marca believes that many fans believe that Kaka has changed.

The Kaka who was so fast and furious in the past two years seems to have disappeared, replaced by a Kaka who plays more calmly, more elegantly, but also more secretly and deadly.

"In fact, Kaka's transformation came from the persuasion of head coach Yang Hao."

"Yang Hao has always felt that the past style of play, which focused on speed and changing speed and direction, was very harmful to Kaká's body, so he hopes that Kaká will change his technical characteristics and reduce his reliance on long-distance attacks, especially It’s a frontal attack on the defense.”

"If Kaka in the past was a sharp sword, then Kaka now wears a scabbard, is more restrained, calm, and does not show his sharpness easily. But once he shines the sword, his opponent will be bloodied on the spot. "

Marca also revealed that it is the cooperation between Kaká and Messi.

"This is actually not a complete state."

"Kaká and Messi, then Alves, Iniesta in the middle, Drogba and Torres in front, Atletico Madrid's entire midfield will closely surround Kaká, Messi and I Nesta, these three players plan the attack."

"From the current point of view, Yang Hao's transformation of Atletico Madrid continues this season."

"Everyone only saw that Atletico Madrid's defense became unstable and saw the auspicious three treasures who made frequent mistakes, but they probably didn't think about it. Is Atletico Madrid becoming more and more offensive?"

"Are they always going to score a big score?"

"If you think so, you're right!"

"According to our insiders at Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao hopes that Atletico Madrid will further play more aggressive and threatening offensive football."

……

In addition to Marca, other major media outlets have also written articles highly appreciating Atletico Madrid's feat.

French Football Magazine also immediately published an article congratulating Kaká, who had just won the Ballon d'Or, for winning the Club World Cup again.

Brazil's Sao Paulo newspaper also wrote an article, giving high praise to Kaka's performance. He also congratulated Kaka on becoming a father and hoped that Kaka could have a perfect ending in 2007.

That is the World Footballer!

When Atletico Madrid returned to Spain from RB, the British World Football magazine also made a high-profile selection.

Kaka won the World Football Player of the Year award with a huge advantage of more than half.

After winning the Rookie of the Year award last year, Messi rushed to second place this year, while Ronaldo took third place.

The entire ranking is almost the same as the European Golden Globe Awards.

This also proves the outside world's recognition of the Golden Globe Award.

It is worth mentioning that in the selection of the best coach of the year, Ferguson defeated Yang Hao with a slight advantage of 0.8%.

This is very outrageous.

Yang Hao really wanted to fuck him directly.

Why is this bad old man doing this?

But when I think of it as a British football magazine...

Okay, got it.

Ferguson even made a special call to Yang Hao. He finally had something that could defeat Yang Hao.

For this reason, he even invited Yang Hao to Manchester for a drink.

"My treat!"

Yang Hao could only laugh at this, "It sounds like I admire you very much, get out of here!"

Amid Ferguson's roaring laughter, Yang Hao hung up the phone.

After once again winning the World Football Player of the Year award, Kaka's 2007 Grand Slam is down to the last and most important one.

……

When Yang Hao led the team back to Madrid to prepare for the game, Kaká, Messi and Toni Kroos, accompanied by club chairman Cerezo and general manager Xiao Hill, took the bus with FIFA President Blatter and others. The special plane flew from Tokyo to Zurich.

After the Club World Cup final on the 16th, on the evening of the 17th, the FIFA Awards Ceremony was held at the Opera House in Zurich, Switzerland.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who had just returned from RB, delivered a speech, summarizing the various events of the past year, and also looking forward to the future events in 2008.

The first to be awarded were the Best Player Awards of the World Junior Championship and World Youth Championship, which were given to Toni Kroos of Atletico Madrid and Aguero of Villarreal.

The two won the Golden Ball of the World Junior Championship and the Golden Ball of the World Youth Championship respectively.

Then came the Beach Soccer World Cup's best player, Blue from Brazil, who won the award.

Barcelona won the Fair Play Award.

This is somewhat telling.

Barcelona won this award because they gave the chest jersey advertisement to UNICEF for free and promised to donate US$5 million to UNICEF AIDS projects in the next five years.

Everyone knows that this is actually a roundabout policy adopted by Barcelona to save the country and ultimately achieve commercialization.

But no matter how you look at it, this is a charity worthy of encouragement.

Therefore, FIFA awarded the annual Fair Play Award to Barcelona.

This year's FIFA President's Award was awarded to football king Pele.

The final annual individual award, Miss World Football was given to Brazil's Marta.

The World Footballer of the Year was awarded to Kaka of Atletico Madrid.

Blatter personally announced Kaka's election, and Pele, who had just received the FIFA President's Award, personally presented the award to Kaka.

Kaka excitedly took the gold cup from Pele's hand and hugged the senior forcefully.

Having won the World Footballer of the Year for three consecutive years, Kaka said he is very, very excited now.

“I thank God for this great honor and I have to share it with all my friends because I can’t do anything in my life alone.”

"I also want to share it with my wife, my family, and God!"

After Kaka said these words emotionally, the audience burst into applause.

At this moment, everyone clearly knew that they were witnessing a brand new history.

When Kaká won the World Footballer of the Year award, he had already surpassed his predecessors such as Zidane and Ronaldo in terms of honor and became the number one player in world football.

Of course, he is still unable to compete with these seniors, let alone with senior football champions like Maradona and Pele. Kaka has a very clear understanding of this.

So he was very humble and repeatedly emphasized that he still had a lot to learn.

"Here, I have to thank Atletico Madrid, everyone at the club, all my teammates, and Messi..."

When Kaka extended his hand to introduce Messi, the audience burst into applause again.

"I believe, Leo, you can get here soon, as long as you keep working hard, come on!"

The applause at the scene was even more enthusiastic.

The top three tonight are Kaká, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, exactly the same as the Ballon d'Or.

"I would especially like to thank our head coach. I have said it many times, but I have to say it again here, boss, without you, there would not be Kaka today. I am very grateful to you!"

Kaka even choked up in the end.

"When I left Brazil, I never thought I would have the opportunity to stand here, even three times."

"Ronaldo is a very good friend of mine and a senior I respect very much. He has always encouraged me. I am far from reaching his height. I will continue to work hard."

"I would also like to express my special thanks to our Atletico Madrid fans. Really, you are the best and best fans I have ever seen. I will continue to fight for you!"

"Finally, thank God for giving me everything!"

Kaká bowed deeply at the end, and when he walked off the podium, he was greeted by a warm hug from Messi and a hug from Toni Kroos. All three of them had won some awards, and they were all from Atletico Madrid.

The media reporters at the scene also specially invited the three of them to take a group photo.

……

"Excuse me, Mr. Yang, how do you feel now?"

At the Mahadajonda training base in Madrid, Parales approached Yang Hao gossiping and asked with a smile.

Yang Hao had already calmed down and looked at Parales with a smile, "I want to hit you!"

Everyone around was laughing.

In fact, not only Yang Hao, but everyone was very touched.

"Remember? Yang, when you brought Kaka back, I thought this kid was very thin. Although he was quite tall, he was really skinny, as thin as a bamboo pole."

Juanma Lillo couldn't help but think back to those days. When he saw the people around him laughing, he hurriedly said, "Really, if you don't believe me, just ask them. Kaká was really too thin at that time, unhealthy." , there is no flesh on the face, and the cheeks are a bit concave.”

"Indeed, Kaka was really thin at that time."

"Kakashi is much more handsome now than he was back then. He didn't even look good at that time."

"The physical confrontation is also terrible, and my foot skills are not particularly good. All of us feel, oh, can this kid kick it?"

"Yes, yes, I still remember that at that time many people were doubting whether Kaka would be able to do it?"

"I remember that at that time, it seemed that only Yang was convinced that Kaka could be kicked out."

When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their heads and looked at Yang Hao.

In fact, the more they got along with each other, the more they discovered what was special about Yang Hao.

Yang Hao seemed to have a very mysterious power, always creating surprises and accidents.

Not only Kaka back then, but also Messi, Thiago Silva, Drogba, Evra...

Too much.

Especially like Messi.

At that time, who would have thought that Messi could play?

Everyone felt that there was no need to take this risk, but what was the result?

"And Evra, this kid was playing as a forward, playing in the third level of Italy? I forgot the details, anyway, it was a very low level, and then he came to our club, he thought he was here to play as a forward, but it turned out Woolen cloth?"

Juanma Lillo is still pointing at Yang Hao with a look of resentment, "He said that Evra should play as left back."

"I was confused at the time. Is it like this?"

"He didn't listen. He insisted on letting Evra play as a defender and made me be the bad guy. Then I was a part-time worker and could only listen to him. So as you are all familiar with, Evra kept scolding on the court. Me, the scolding drove me almost crazy."

"Unexpectedly, the more he scolded this kid, the better he behaved. When he stopped scolding later, his performance deteriorated. But he gradually adjusted and became the Evra everyone is familiar with now."

Everyone found it interesting, but they could also imagine that the whole process was actually very long.

This is the difference between experience and story.

"Yang, what do you usually rely on to inspect players?" Guardiola asked with interest.

Others were also very curious.

Now, the whole world is full of praise for Yang Hao's vision in selecting players, and they are also very curious, how does he select players?

Yang Hao already knew how to deal with it.

"Feel."

"Feel?"

"Yes, it's just what it feels like when you watch him play."

"What about?"

"Messi, his dribbling is really good. He looks different from the kids around him. Others can't get the ball from him at all. Then I was thinking, this kid is so talented. If he becomes an adult, It’s outrageous that the team still plays like this!”

Everyone obviously felt that it was a bit far-fetched.

"And Kaka, you may not look at him thin, but he is fast, and the feeling when he sprints and dribbles the ball is very special. Every step he steps on that point, he adjusts the big strides and small steps very well. Calmness, this kind of player is so rare.”

Everyone was more or less convinced.

"But I remember that you were also very optimistic about Ronaldo back then." Paralles added, "But the Ronaldo of now is obviously different from the Ronaldo of then. What do you think?"

"It's hard to say. If he had not gone to the Premier League, but came to our Atletico Madrid, I think he would have played more concisely, but his foot skills would have been even better. I wouldn't have trained his body like crazy. I should have We will try to get him to achieve a certain balance physically and technically, plus his sprint speed and explosiveness, as well as his sense of movement."

Having said this, Yang Hao grinned, "Don't you think that the offensive combination of Cristiano Ronaldo, Torres/Drogba, Messi, and then Iniesta and Kaka behind him is incredible?"

Everyone laughed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it actually made sense.

Kaka is good at pushing forward from long distances, and Messi is almost invincible within the 30-meter area. Both of them can pass, control, and shoot unexpectedly. In addition, Ronaldo's physical fitness and speed, as well as his sense of movement, and Torres And Drogba.

Atletico Madrid's offense is simply going to heaven.

However, it all exists within a beautiful vision.

Now Ronaldo is destined to miss Atletico Madrid.

Everyone was still confused, feeling that Yang Hao didn't explain clearly what was going on, but he seemed to have explained it clearly, but he didn't understand it.

Anyway, they all seemed to understand but didn't understand.

……

When Atletico Madrid played in the Club World Cup final at RB, La Liga played in the 16th round.

Barcelona defeated Valencia 3-2 in the away game with goals from Eto'o and Henry.

In this kind of strong dialogue, the Bat Legion is still relatively weak.

Ancelotti has actually trained very well, and the whole game was suppressed by Mourinho's team.

But there is no way.

If it was Rijkaard's Barcelona, ​​Ancelotti would definitely win, but unfortunately, he met Mourinho's Barcelona. Valencia was disarmed by continuous defensive counterattacks.

Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 2-0 at home with goals from Ibrahimovic and Yaya Toure.

With this victory, Real Madrid overtook Atletico Madrid in the standings.

One day after Atletico Madrid returned to La Liga from RB, they played a make-up match in the 1th round of La Liga.

Traveling long distances without giving anyone a chance to breathe is indeed very torturous.

Kaká, Messi and Toni Kroos returned from Zurich, Switzerland and were unable to play in this game.

In the end, Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 away from Huelva.

This is Atletico Madrid's second draw this season.

After 16 rounds, Atletico Madrid has an unbeaten record of 13 wins and 2 draws, scoring 41 points.

Real Madrid continues to lead the La Liga standings with 42 points.

Arsene Wenger's side have been fantastic this season.

But Atletico still has one game less.

……

In the 17th round of La Liga, the most eye-catching matches on the first match day were undoubtedly Valencia and Atletico Madrid.

The Bat Legion reversed Zaragoza 2-1 away from home, and Ancelotti's team won a narrow victory.

Atletico Madrid defeated Espanyol 2-1 at home.

This was also a close call.

Before this game, Atletico Madrid had just played the 16th round of make-up matches on Wednesday, and then ushered in the 17th round on Saturday. The team's entire state was not ideal.

Not only other players, but even Kaká and Messi did not perform very well.

But Messi still contributed a goal, and the other goal came from Drogba.

Before this game, Kaka, Messi and Toni Kroos all had another chance to show off the awards they received from Zurich, and received warm cheers from Atletico Madrid fans in the audience.

Everyone can see that Atletico Madrid is full of talents now.

Messi is known as the person with the best chance to win the next World Footballer and Ballon d'Or. Toni Kroos also performed very eye-catchingly in the World Junior Championship and left a deep impression on people.

Under such circumstances, Atletico Madrid will continue to maintain strong competitiveness in the next few years.

The focus of the next day of the 17th round was held at Camp Nou.

Mourinho vs. Wenger, Ronaldinho, Henry, Eto'o, Xavi, vs. Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Joaquin, Yaya Toure, Essien and Pirlo …

Just ask, how is this kind of national derby?

Almost the whole world is watching, and countless fans are looking forward to it.

Nearly 10 fans entered the Camp Nou stadium to watch this game live.

As a result, Mourinho's team lost 0-1 at home to Real Madrid.

Arsene Wenger defeated Barcelona 35-1 thanks to Yaya Toure's goal in the 0th minute.

In a way, this game was not exciting at all.

Mourinho focuses on defense, and Wenger also plays cautiously.

Obviously, Real Madrid currently leads the La Liga standings, but Atletico Madrid has one game less, so Wenger is very careful, fearing that he will accidentally capsize and be overtaken by Atletico Madrid again.

And what about Mourinho?

They may not be as good at attacking as Real Madrid, so he adopted a 4231 defensive strategy.

It is conceivable that under the mentality of the head coaches of the two teams, the game was star-studded and more than intense, but not exciting enough.

In the end, Real Madrid won 1-0. After the 18th round, La Liga will be suspended and usher in the Christmas holiday.

But before that, the Spaniard finally announced that the Russian consortium had officially completed the acquisition of the Spaniard.

Usmanov did not come forward, but Farhad Moshiri became the president of Espanyol to formally form a new club management team, and the handover will take place after the Christmas holiday.

From the current point of view, it is basically impossible to catch up with the transfer during the winter break.

However, the Spaniard's performance this season is not bad. Currently ranked 8th in La Liga, there is no danger of relegation.

Farhad Moshiri said that the acquisition of the Spaniard values ​​long-term operation and development, and will strictly abide by La Liga's financial policies and adopt a more pragmatic and sustainable development business strategy.

The bottom line is, they are not going to spend a lot of money.

This is obviously not in line with the style of Farhad Moshiri and Usmanov.

For these investors, every penny they invest is calculated with profits.

This includes the Abu Dhabi consortium.

As for those who keep talking about true love and saying they are fans, just listen to it, it basically sounds good.

But one thing is quite interesting. Farhad Moshiri said that he will follow La Liga's strategy and improve the Spaniard's training base and stadium.

Currently, La Liga’s financial policy does not include investment in youth training and infrastructure.

In other words, your investment in the repair and construction of facilities such as youth training, stadiums and training bases will not be included in the financial policy. This is equivalent to encouraging major teams to increase investment in youth training and infrastructure. .

After all, these are investments that cannot see results in the short term and can only benefit from long-term operations.

After about half a year of tug-of-war, especially after the Abu Dhabi consortium's foreshadowing, Spanish fans generally have little feeling about the acquisition from the Russian consortium.

Or should I say, a little numb.

Some Espanyol fans are even dissatisfied with the Russian billionaire's unwillingness to invest more.

After all, they had all hoped to turn into a strong team overnight like Valencia did.

But now it seems that wish has been shattered.

……

Before the start of the Christmas holiday, Atletico Madrid held a huge Christmas dinner.

This is also an annual routine project.

Before the dinner, the players actively participated in community activities organized by the club.

After the dinner, the team temporarily disbanded and ushered in the Christmas holiday. The players went home to celebrate the holidays.

But this year is different from before.

08 is the European Cup, and the schedules of all major leagues will be tightened.

Therefore, the 08 schedule begins on January 1, with the second leg of the 2th round of the Copa del Rey.

Due to the tight schedule, this year's trip to the Middle East was forced to be suspended.

The Hill Cup, which has just been held, can only be suspended this year.

This is also something that can't be helped.

If Atletico Madrid rushes to the Middle East, it is not worth saying whether the training effect is good or not. The players traveling back and forth will also affect the overall state of the team, which is not worth the gain.

With Atletico Madrid's current financial resources, they really wouldn't fly to the Middle East specifically for two to three million euros.

Yang Hao was still alone this year, and was invited to the farm by Xiao Hill to spend Christmas together.

Blake Lively actually wanted to stay with him for the holidays, but her parents were calling at home, so Yang Hao persuaded her to go back to the United States to spend time with her family.

So, I can only live alone again.

Fortunately, this time it only lasted three or four days, and passed away at home.

After Christmas, Atletico Madrid will resume training.

After entering 2008, the first game was ushered in.

In the fourth round of the Copa del Rey, they faced Granada at home.

Since Atletico Madrid moved into the Emirates Stadium, almost every game has been full, and the attendance rate has been close to 100%.

Only this Copa del Rey match.

It should be said that this is the first time since Atletico Madrid moved into the new stadium this season that the home stadium is not full, and it is also quite empty.

On the one hand, it is because of the Christmas holiday, on the other hand, Atletico Madrid fans are not very interested in the first few games of the Copa del Rey, and Granada is not a strong team.

Fans can also predict that Atletico Madrid will basically use substitutes and young players, and it is basically impossible to play stars.

But even so, there are still more than 5 fans entering the Emirates Stadium.

This is partly because Atletico Madrid has discounted the tickets.

With a capacity of 76500 people, more than 5 people were seated. This attendance rate is actually very good.

Another game played at the same time, Real Madrid's game at the Bernabeu, had only 3 fans in attendance.

At Barcelona’s Camp Nou, the number of fans in attendance was less than 3.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Atletico Madrid's attendance rate is already considered very high.

The top three players of the Western Premier League all defeated their opponents at home. Atletico Madrid was 2-0, and the goalscorers were Suarez and Di Maria.

Barcelona also sent out all their substitutes and won Alcoyano 2-1 at home.

Real Madrid's score is also 2-1, and their opponent is Alcante.

After advancing to the top 16, Atletico Madrid's opponent was Valladolid.

……

Over the weekend, the 18th round of La Liga.

Barcelona defeated Real Mallorca 2-0 with goals from Marcos and Eto'o.

But Villarreal's first La Liga game in 2008 was a 0-3 away defeat to Espanyol.

The Spaniard seemed to be in high spirits after being acquired.

In addition, Raul Tamudo has been in excellent form recently, scoring twice in this game.

In an interview with the media after the game, Raul Tamudo publicly stated that he hopes to get a call from the national team.

Obviously, he hopes to participate in the European Cup.

Atletico Madrid visited the Riazor Stadium that evening.

Deschamps' team was very well prepared and had no intention of giving Atletico any chance.

From the first minute of the game, Super Deportivo adopted a defensive posture at home.

Judging from this season's performance, Deschamps' team is also aiming to hit the top four, so it is now clear that it will attack Atletico Madrid through steady counterattacks.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid didn't care how they controlled the ball in their own half, but as soon as they entered Deportivo's half, they began to chase and intercept, and their defense was also quite tight.

This style of play gave Atletico Madrid a headache.

Several attempts were made to create opportunities through the personal abilities of Kaka, Messi and Robben, but either goalkeeper Lloris performed bravely, or the double central defenders composed of Mexes and Juan were impregnable.

Super Depor simply made Atletico Madrid return without success again and again.

The first 40 minutes of the game all passed in this tense and fierce war of attrition.

Until the 42nd minute, when Atletico Madrid continued to organize the attack with the ball on the right, Alves suddenly passed the ball to the left.

Evra stopped the ball on the left, launched an attack along the left, and passed to the back point.

Torres got rid of Mexes, rushed to the right post from behind, and hit the goal with a header, opening the scoring for Atletico Madrid!

At the critical moment, the prince of Atletico Madrid played a key role!

Torres' goal completely disrupted Deschamps' plans and deployment.

After the start of the second half, Deportivo had to adopt offensive tactics, hoping to seize the opportunity and strive to equalize the score.

But in the 52nd minute, before Depor took the opportunity to break through Jixiang Sanbao's defense, Neuer used a long pass to directly send the ball to Messi in front.

The Argentine stopped the ball and passed two opposing defenders, then broke into the right side of the penalty area and scored with a low shot from close range, giving Atletico Madrid another victory, 2-0!

This score was maintained until the end.

Atletico defeated Super Deportivo 2-0 at the Riazor Stadium.

When Deschamps shook hands with Yang Hao after the game, he was speechless about the result.

"We actually tried our best, but we still couldn't hold on. You really have too many attack points."

For the first goal, it seemed that Evra's dribbling with the ball played a role, but the key was Alves' transfer of the ball.

That transfer ball was given beautifully and just right.

In addition to Messi passing two people in a row for the second goal, Neuer's long pass was also crucial.

"Don't they all say they are the three auspicious treasures? How come they all performed well when they met us?" Deshang smiled bitterly.

Yang Hao laughed, "Our defense line is a bit crazy now, sometimes it works well but sometimes it doesn't work well.

Deschamps also laughed, but as for the reason, he could guess some of it.

Van Nistelrooy's effect in this defensive counterattack tactic is not obvious.

Diego and Pienaar are still brave, Valencia is very sharp on the right, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's role is somewhat unsatisfactory.

The Dutch center is most threatening in the penalty area. Outside of the penalty area, his threat is greatly reduced.

"I plan to sign Benzema from Lyon, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, a little strange.

Just sign it, why are you asking me?

Deschamps smiled and said, "Don't everyone say that your vision is very accurate? What do you think of this young player Benzema?"

Yang Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reminded: "We are rivals."

"The game is over." Deschamps replied confidently.

I have to say, this guy really has a French complex.

So far, they have introduced several French players, and they also want to introduce Benzema.

This kid Benzema must be very good. Even if he has not been completely kicked out yet, his potential and talent are not to mention. Is Deschamps sure to convince that vampire in Lyon?

Besides, if you are really convinced, will Deportivo be willing to pay this money?

"If you want to buy it, I will definitely support it." Yang Hao said with a smile.

But I'm not willing to pay for it.

We have Suarez at home, why should we buy Benzema?

It’s so expensive!

The day after Atletico Madrid played Deportivo La Coruña, Real Madrid defeated Zaragoza 2-0 at home with goals from Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo.

……

Three days later, the first leg of the Copa del Rey knockout round of 3 took place.

Atletico Madrid defeated Valladolid 1-0 at home thanks to Suarez's goal.

For this game, the Emirates Stadium was once again filled with fans.

But this time the Copa del Rey was an upset.

First up was Real Madrid, who lost 1-2 away to Real Mallorca.

Aragones' team played quite well in the cup, and with its solid defense and quick counterattacks, it was still very lethal against Real Madrid.

Barcelona faced Sevilla away from home, and when Henry scored first, Sevilla equalized the score.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw 1-1.

Valencia narrowly defeated Real Betis 2-1 away from home.

Villarreal lost to Huelva 0-1 in an away game.

……

Over the weekend, we returned to La Liga and ushered in the 19th round.

Barcelona defeated Murcia 4-0 at home.

Eto'o scored twice, while Henry and Diego Milito scored once each.

Mourinho smiled like something after the game and kept praising the players, from Henry to Diego Milito to Eto'o and then to Ronaldinho, he praised them all.

The Portuguese madman has been saying that this is the best game Barcelona has played this season.

Sevilla lost to Athletic Bilbao 0-2 in an away game.

This kind of intensity of competition is really killing people.

Pellegrini's Villarreal faced Deschamps' Super Depor at home.

As a result, after falling behind three times, Villarreal equalized the score three times. In the end, with Aguero's kick in the 3th minute, he narrowly defeated Super Depor 3-90 at home.

Aguero scored twice!

Real Madrid relied on Cristiano Ronaldo's brace to defeat Levante 2-0 in the away game.

The Portuguese has completely exploded this season.

……

Madrid, Emirates Stadium.

Atletico Madrid plays Valencia at home.

When Baraja, who came on as a substitute, sent a direct pass in the 84th minute, which was accurately passed to the feet of Torres in the penalty area, the Atletico Madrid captain wearing the captain's armband used a ball on the right side of the penalty spot. An angry shot with his foot broke the goal guarded by his former teammate Petr Cech.

At that moment, the passion that had accumulated for more than 80 minutes at the Emirates Stadium was burst out in an instant.

More than 70,000 Atletico Madrid fans rushed out of their seats crazily, cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs, venting their pent-up passion. At the same time, they also looked at Torres and Barra, who rushed to the sidelines to celebrate and hugged each other in the stadium. Ha clapped his hands and cheered.

After the 32-year-old veteran captain came on the field, he assisted the young captain Torres to score.

This scene made the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands very excited, and it also made Yang Hao on the sidelines very emotional.

Once upon a time, he was still persuading Baraja to stay. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Baraja would already be old.

But getting older always comes, and once on the field, Baraja's role is still reflected.

Before this game, Kaka was injured in training, so Yang Hao did not let him play.

Messi went up, but was closely guarded by Valencia.

Drogba has been transferred to participate in the African Cup of Nations.

Ancelotti's transformation of Valencia is gradually showing results.

In this game, the defensive strategy they adopted was very Italian.

This is also Ancelotti's consistent coaching style.

Whether his team can attack or survive depends on the opponent's situation.

In the away game against Atletico Madrid, Ancelotti decisively took the step of being stubborn, and he actually let him stay for more than 80 minutes.

If Baraja, who came on the bench, hadn't sent that fatal direct pass, Ancelotti might have been forced to go back.

I just sold Lucio, Cech, Antonio Lopez and Villa to Valencia. If I can't win this game, according to the feedback from readers in my previous life, Yang Hao will not only be flooded with saliva from reading , you still have to lose your subscription.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the old captain got angry.

This also made Yang Hao let out a heavy breath.

La Liga is getting more and more difficult now!

When the game continued, in the 89th minute, Di Maria sent a cross from the left. Messi stopped the ball and passed Alberda, and shot a long left-footed curve ball, trying to reach the left side of the goal. When he was sideways, he was saved by Cech.

The Czech goalkeeper is obviously very aware of Messi's threat.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Valencia 1-0 at home with Torres' goal.

Yang Hao walked to the visiting team's coaching bench immediately after the game. What he saw was Ancelotti's unconvinced but helpless old face, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

The joy of winning immediately came over.

"You should be snickering. If it weren't for Cech and Lucio, if it weren't for our recent physical training and adjustment, you would be ready to walk out crying tonight."

During the winter break every year, Atletico Madrid strengthens their physical fitness to prepare for the next Champions League and the second half of the season.

This will inevitably affect the team's status.

This season, Yang Hao has decided to use young players in the King's Cup. After all, Drogba will not return until early February at the earliest.

Yang Hao will use Suarez to rotate with Torres.

There is also a need to increase rotation in the midfield.

"We won't defend next time!" Ancelotti said confidently.

The implication is that next time they meet, he will play against Atletico Madrid.

And next time it will be at the Mestalla.

"Then I'll wait." Yang Hao replied provocatively.

Returning to the home team's coaching bench, Yang Hao hugged the Atletico Madrid players as they walked off the court.

But his mind has actually flown out of the Emirates Stadium.

Tomorrow, at the La Liga headquarters in central Madrid, the world-famous bidding will officially begin.

　In fact, the updates are not very stable recently, so I don’t dare to shamelessly ask everyone for monthly tickets, but... Dear readers, please give me a few! Thank you!
