Chapter 301 Big bargain hunting! Comprehensive confrontation between La Liga and the Premier League

While the whole world was still immersed in the shock of Atletico Madrid's 59-game unbeaten record, the Sheets had no time to stop and enjoy it.

Three days later, they ushered in the second leg of the Champions League round of 3 knockout round at the Emirates Stadium.

After losing 0-1 at home in the first round, Schalke 04 adopted a life-threatening attitude in the second round.

The German team started a fierce battle with Atletico Madrid, and they started the game with a rush.

Mirko Slomka started by asking the entire team to press forward and attack Atletico Madrid.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, Asamoah sent a pass, and Kuranyi took a long shot, which did not threaten former teammate Neuer at all.

Just 1 minute later, Messi broke through with the ball from the right and sent a direct pass.

Torres pulled to the right to receive the ball, stopped the ball to attract the defensive attention, and then passed back from the right to the center.

Messi's late shot missed.

This made Yang Hao laugh from the sidelines.

Messi who makes mistakes is more approachable and feels more normal.

After all, he is only 20 years old.

Players of this age, no matter how talented and talented they are, are still not stable.

Unless, he is not a human being.

The two sides fought back and forth.

The most threatening thing about Schalke 04 was in the 8th minute. Altintop's long shot forced Neuer to make a beautiful one-handed save and tipped the ball over the crossbar.

I don’t know if it’s because of facing his old club, but Neuer looked a lot more honest tonight.

And in the 12th minute, Atletico Madrid completed a beautiful cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt.

Robben dribbled the ball past Raphinha on the left, crossed to the center, and handed it to Torres.

The Atletico Madrid captain knocked the ball back with his back.

David Silva moved the instep of his right foot laterally from the outside of the penalty area. After getting rid of the defender, he sent a pass directly behind him. Kaka jumped in at high speed, rushed into the penalty area and scored with a low shot with his right foot.

1 is better than 0!

By this moment, the game had basically been decided.

Before the end of the first half, Torres pulled out of the outside of the penalty area, received the ball and passed it to Messi on the right.

The Argentinian once again dribbled the ball and passed it to the center with his right foot from the right side of the penalty area. Torres took advantage of the inertia of the late pass, jumped high, and headed the ball towards the goal, 2-0!

After changing sides in the second half, Messi scored again in just 4 minutes. He dribbled the ball from the right, broke away from the defender and cut inside. He passed the ball diagonally to the back point with his left foot. Robben stepped in to shoot and broke through again. Schalke 04 goal.

3 is better than 0!

Slomka had to make a quick substitution.

As the commentator said, this game once again proved one thing: don't attack Atletico Madrid!

最终，马竞主场3比0击败了沙尔克04，以总比分4比0顺利晋级欧冠八强。

……

After Atletico Madrid successfully advanced, other matches in the top 16 of the Champions League have also announced their results.

Barcelona successfully defeated Celtic in the Scottish Premiership with a total score of 4-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Sevilla defeated Turkey's Fenerbahce 3-1 on aggregate.

Real Madrid defeated Roma 2-1 in two games and 4-2 on aggregate, successfully advancing to the quarterfinals.

Interestingly, Real Madrid has always encountered Roma in recent years.

What's even more interesting is that as Liverpool defeated AC Milan 2-0 in an away game, the Red Army also successfully entered the Champions League quarterfinals.

So much so that a very paradoxical situation occurred in this season's Champions League quarterfinals.

4 La Liga teams, 3 Premier League teams and 1 Serie A team.

The Bundesliga was wiped out.

Bayern Munich's failure to qualify for the Champions League has resulted in a serious lack of competitiveness among Bundesliga teams in the Champions League.

This also made the subsequent draw for the Champions League quarter-finals full of suspense.

In the end, the four La Liga teams fought against each other in the Premier League.

Atletico Madrid competes with Liverpool, Real Madrid competes with Manchester United, Barcelona faces Chelsea, and Sevilla competes with Inter Milan.

When the lottery results came out, many netizens exclaimed: UEFA understands traffic!

Real Madrid fights Manchester United, Wenger fights Ferguson, this stunt is absolutely explosive.

What about Barcelona vs. Chelsea?

Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge, and this was still a game with explosive traffic.

Atletico Madrid vs. Liverpool, a confrontation of contradictions.

Sevilla's match against Inter Milan was relatively weak among the four games.

Inter Milan relied entirely on Adriano from the front to push them into the Champions League quarterfinals this season.

Inter Milan now relies on Aurelio and Adriano for offense, Nesta for defense, and Cambiaso for organization.

Oh, by the way, there's Cesar in front of the goal.

Although Sevilla does not have a big-name superstar like Adriano, Juande Ramos has performed very well this season, especially in the Champions League.

La Liga is so competitive right now.

It’s easy to imagine that the top eight teams in the Champions League are still not ranked among the top six in La Liga.

But the Sevilla team has one advantage. Their players are all young and have great potential.

According to internal evaluations in Spanish football circles, Sevilla is now very good at buying semi-finished products worth about 1000 million euros and then training them into players worth about 3000 million euros.

And once the players of this kind of team show their form at a certain point in time, the strength they develop cannot be underestimated.

……

At the weekend, in the 27th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Zaragoza away.

Although it was an away game, Atletico Madrid still focused on the away game, held high the banner of offensive football, and launched an attack on Zaragoza in the away game, not even caring about the defense behind them.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Torres assisted Kaka and scored a goal.

Just 4 minutes later, Torres scored a goal himself.

In the 31st minute, Torres again took advantage of Iniesta's through ball and scored another victory.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Zaragoza 5-1 with head kicks and kicks in the first half, which made Zaragoza very depressed.

In the second half, Atletico scored 2 more goals and ended up beating Zaragoza 7-1 away from home.

The problems exposed in Zaragoza's game are obvious. After selling players such as Diego Milito, they did not make timely additions, resulting in the team's lack of threat in the frontcourt.

At the guard position, after selling Gabriel Milito, although Ayala was introduced, he is too old.

This results in Zaragoza's overall lack of competitiveness.

Relatively speaking, their midfielders and wingers are actually quite good.

The defensive midfielders of Gabi and Lucin are both very capable, and Juanfran and former Real Madrid right back Diogo also performed well.

But again, facing Atletico Madrid, they didn't guard it tightly enough!

Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 2-1 at home in this round.

Barcelona was unlucky. They played a triumphant song in the Champions League, but in the league, they lost 1-2 at home to Villarreal.

Pellegrini's Yellow Submarine becomes stronger when it comes to strength.

Aguero's two goals in this game were really eye-catching.

Three days after defeating Barcelona at Camp Nou, Villarreal tied with Atletico Madrid 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

This is the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

After losing 2-3 away from home in the first round, the Shenlian Legion actively attacked at home, but the defense made a mistake. Aguero seized the opportunity and scored a sneak attack.

Before the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid pulled a goal back, but ultimately failed to score again.

The total score was 3 to 4, and Atletico Madrid missed the Copa del Rey final.

In another game, Valencia successfully eliminated Racing Santander and advanced to the Copa del Rey final.

Interestingly, according to previously announced results, this Copa del Rey final will be held at the Mestalla Stadium.

Valencia regional derby!

Bat Legion vs. Yellow Submarine is another explosive event!

By the way, in this season's UEFA Cup, La Liga teams also performed very vigorously.

In the top 32 knockout round, Villarreal defeated Zenit St. Petersburg, led by Arshavin, who Yang Hao should have won in his previous life, and won the two rounds with a total score of 3-0.

Valencia, Deportivo La Coruna and Getafe also all reached the top 16 and performed well.

Three Premier League teams, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, also reached the last 16 of the UEFA Cup.

Now the confrontation between La Liga and the Premier League is becoming more and more obvious.

Everyone is also clearly aware that La Liga and the Premier League are not only competing against each other, but also devouring high-quality players from other leagues such as Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1.

L'Equipe even believes that in the competition between La Liga and the Premier League, the leagues ranked 3rd, 4th, and 5th will be unlucky in the end, because they find that as the purchasing power of the two major leagues becomes stronger and stronger, their ability to retain players becomes weaker.

In fact, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are all showing signs of becoming youth training bases for La Liga and the Premier League.

Unlike the Premier League, La Liga generally performs well in European competitions.

This also has something to do with their arrangement for the winter break.

……

On March 3, La Liga ushered in the messy 15th round.

Real Madrid lost 0-1 away to Deportivo La Coruna.

Deschamps' team defeated Real Madrid at home with Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal.

There have been no UEFA Cup games recently, so Super Depor took a full week off.

On the other hand, Arsene Wenger's Real Madrid had just beaten Roma in midweek, and ultimately lost in an away game.

Valencia defeated Sevilla 2-1 at home and narrowly won.

Barcelona was held to a 2-2 away draw by Almeria.

Emery's team once again caused a minor surprise.

Young player Bojan started the game and opened the scoring for Barcelona, ​​performing well.

Bojan has made successive appearances in Barcelona this season, and his performance is also remarkable.

Atletico Madrid defeated Levante 3-0 at home. Torres scored twice and Robben scored the first goal.

The Sheets' unbeaten streak extended to 61 games.

……

After the 28th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid can finally take a breath.

The restorative training ended the next day, and after the review meeting, Yang Hao announced that the team would have a day off.

In addition, he also promised the players that they would have one day off in the middle of the week.

In other words, there will be 2 days off this week.

The players were all relieved and let out a big sigh of relief.

From January to now, Atletico Madrid has been playing double games a week, or the players are busy competing for the national team, and there is no time to take a good rest.

It’s been almost 3 months!

Sometimes thinking about it, Yang Hao feels a lot of pressure.

Atletico Madrid's rotation is actually pretty good. For other teams, such a heavy game burden would be really fatal.

For example, Getafe performed well last season and reached the UEFA Cup. However, this season they fought on two fronts and their results plummeted.

The players have a vacation and the coaching staff also has a vacation, but Yang Hao cannot take a vacation.

He still has a lot to do.

During the past period of time, Yang Hao only focused on leading the team and playing on the green field, and turned a deaf ear to many things.

But the whole world has changed dramatically.

After entering 08, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis spread rapidly around the world.

On January 1, the Federal Reserve announced an emergency interest rate cut of 22 basis points, the largest rate cut since 75.

On the 30th, another 50 basis points interest rate cut was announced.

In February, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced that he would continue to cut interest rates.

Just in the past two days, the Federal Reserve announced another 75 basis points cut in interest rates.

In addition, the United States introduces policies almost every day and actively rescues the market.

It’s clear that the problem is staggeringly serious.

In fact, Yang Hao didn't find anything special in his previous life in China. This may have something to do with him being an ordinary person.

But now?

One of the most immediate interests is stocks.

Yang Hao holds 3 million shares of Apple stock, most of which were purchased at a price of $50, and 600 million shares were earlier.

At the end of 07, when Apple's stock price reached its peak, it reached US$202, and the overall price was around US$200.

But in just over 2 months, how much is left now?

120 dollars.

In other words, when Yang Hao's assets were at their highest, they reached 60 billion US dollars, making him a super rich man.

But now?

$ 36 billion.

Although he was still a rich man, he lost US$24 billion in one fell swoop.

what is this concept?

In the words of Yang Hao joking with Cerezo, Xiao Hill and others, don't talk to me about football, don't talk to me about new stadiums, or skyscrapers. The money lost by labor is enough for you to build buildings!

It's so outrageous!

Yang Hao now discovered that what he was doing was his heartbeat.

If he hadn't known the future earlier, he would have gone crazy now, right?

A loss of US$24 billion!

Yang Hao was almost heartbroken.

"Okay, I bought it for $50, now I've made a fortune, right?"

After hearing Yang Hao's complaints, both Cerezo and Xiao Hill began to have a strong hatred of rich people.

Without him, it’s so irritating!

Every good thing was taken advantage of by him.

Women, fame, money...

"Adrian Perez called me several times and asked me to advise you to sell quickly, saying that the market is very bad now and everyone said it was going to collapse." Carlos Leo sighed.

"Now, even the most optimistic investors on Wall Street feel like there's no future."

"Yeah, we don't understand stocks. If you make money, cash it out as soon as possible."

"If you make less than 24 billion U.S. dollars, think of it as a lesson, haha..."

Yang Hao despised these guys.

It's not their money. The US$24 billion is treated like toilet paper. Are you saying you don't want it?

"I don't believe in evil, so I will continue to bet on Apple. Labor and management must earn back the US$24 billion!" Yang Hao was very "stubborn."

"I'm telling you, Yang, take my advice, even the most optimistic experts in the United States are not optimistic about it now."

"If those experts can say it accurately every time, then he would be Buffett, why would he be a bullshit expert?" Yang Hao retorted.

"But now the stock is plummeting..."

"Let me tell you, Carlos, I voted for Apple because I am optimistic about its long-term development. Have you used all the mobile phones I gave you?"

The apples have just come out of the first bag. They don’t taste particularly good yet. They are a bit astringent, but they are already very sweet.

"Let me just say one thing, it will subvert the current mobile phone industry and will definitely replace Nokia. It will become the super overlord of the mobile phone industry in the next few years. I am responsible for what I say and vote with my sword!"

Yang Hao's confident words made it difficult for others to refute.

But when I think about the loss of 24 billion US dollars...

But Yang Hao has made up his mind to live by holding on to Apple's stocks for the next ten years or so.

Cerezo, Hill Jr., Carlos Leo and others suddenly didn't know how to say he was better.

Sometimes, they don't understand the decisions Yang Hao makes.

Just like when he invested in Apple twice, people on Wall Street in the United States laughed at him, but now?

Although they lost US$24 billion, they still made several billion US dollars.

What qualifications do those so-called investment experts have to laugh at him?

"Well, I will only say this once. Trust me, invest in Apple. Seriously, taking advantage of the current floor price, you will be right." Yang Hao in turn persuaded them to invest.

But everyone shook their heads vigorously.

It’s fallen like this, why are you still buying?

……

Speaking of money, Atletico Madrid is now the real machine for making rich people in football.

Just a few days ago, French Football Magazine published a report specifically ranking the income of world stars.

Of course, they had no way to get specific data and could only rely on rough guesses.

Kaka ranked first with 3500 million euros.

Beckham has somewhat lost his main position in Real Madrid, but his commercial value is still very high, with annual income reaching 3100 million euros.

Ronaldinho is worth 2400 million euros.

It is worth mentioning that Messi's salary has risen very quickly, reaching 2300 million euros, while Ronaldo's has reached 2000 million euros.

When Yang Hao saw this list, he threw it away.

why?

Because it’s fake!

Too little.

Earnings of French football team players are uncertain.

Yang Hao didn't know the players from other teams, but Atletico Madrid's players were seriously inaccurate.

For example, Kaka's salary is not 3500 million euros, but more than 4000 million euros. Atletico Madrid has not carefully calculated the specific amount, because many data cannot be detailed.

For example, some income is in Asia, but tax avoidance is required and then transferred around.     But certainly more than 4000 million euros.

Fernando Vazquez told Yang Hao that after 2008, Kaka's commercial value soared further.

Carlos Leo also said that Kaka's expected income can exceed 5 million euros.

This is a very astonishing number.

There is no way, Kaka is very good looking and can play well.

Think about it, a man who was born in the kingdom of football and is as handsome as Beckham has won the World Footballer and Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years at a young age. In terms of personal honors, he is ranked first in the world. His business How high is the value?

This was in 2008. If it were in 2023, wouldn’t it have taken off?

Torres ranks quite low, but in fact, his income is also very high. His annual income in 07 will definitely exceed 3 million euros, and he is expected to not lose to Beckham.

Mainly because he is handsome!

This is an era of great appearance.

Therefore, Yang Hao's business income far exceeds Atletico Madrid's coaching contract income.

Messi's commercial value has indeed increased very quickly, and it started in 07.

Under the strong promotion of Atletico Madrid, Messi's annual income should exceed 3000 million euros.

There are also several other players, such as Xabi Alonso, whose annual income exceeds 1500 million euros.

From the current point of view, if you include commercial income, Atletico Madrid can really account for several of the top ten annual income in European football.

The commercial income of other teams should not be as large as Atletico Madrid.

The reason is also very simple. All walks of life are somewhat... let's not say winner takes all, but the leader will definitely seize most of the revenue, so Atletico Madrid's overall commercial value is very high now.

Especially from last season's Triple Crown to this season's unbeaten run, if this wave continues, Atletico Madrid's name has spread all over the world, and it is far ahead.

In addition, Atletico Madrid's overall packaging is very good, and the commercial value of the stars is also valued.

Don't talk about anyone else, Drogba.

The Ivorian does not look like Andy Lau, but he still signs big contracts in the United States and is still popular.

Why?

Americans are just like him, is there any way?

Many companies in Africa and the Middle East seek him out for endorsements, and his annual income exceeds 1500 million euros.

The current situation is that anyone who has anything to do with Atletico Madrid is making huge profits.

Players earn a lot of money, and Atletico Madrid's income has of course skyrocketed.

Now, Real Madrid is still leading the way, but Atletico Madrid is chasing fiercely behind, and the increase is accelerating every year.

Yang Hao came to the headquarters this time mainly to deal with some player contract renewal matters.

These are all continuations from before the meeting.

After several big-name superstars in the team have renewed their contracts, others are basically no problem.

Another thing is Yang Hao's contract.

Now, Yang Hao's contract has an annual salary of 1500 million euros. Atletico Madrid meant that the players have all increased, and Yang Hao also had the idea to increase it a little, so Yang Hao also listened to their opinions and increased his salary to 2000 million euros.

If you add in other various bonuses, benefits, etc., it is still very considerable.

The last thing is actually the most troublesome.

MSM Group has financial problems.

Ma'ao Beer has never been a wealthy consortium, but in the past few years, they have sponsored Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, sponsored La Liga, actively promoted globalization and acquisitions, and they have indeed spent a lot of money.

For example, official awards such as La Liga's top scorer list, best player, and Golden Boot Award are all sponsored by MAO Beer.

Awards such as the best player selected by Atletico Madrid are also sponsored by Maao Beer.

The benefits are certainly many.

As the largest beer consumption market in Spain, almost no second brand can enter the Madrid region.

From bars to nightclubs, all are beer brands under the MSM Group.

Therefore, his development in the past few years has been very good, closely following the pace of La Liga's globalization.

But now, with the subprime mortgage crisis hitting, MSM Group's capital chain is getting tighter and tighter.

This is actually what Yang Hao has been worried about before.

Last time he asked Cerezo whether MSM Group would be affected by the US subprime mortgage crisis, but Cerezo said at the time that it should not be. But now it seems that it is not that it will not be, but that it has not been revealed at the time. .

Yang Hao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the headquarters building and saw that the basements of the two buildings were still under construction, which was also the most time-consuming.

Once out of the ground, the construction speed is very fast.

"What do they mean now?" Yang Hao turned around and asked.

"I talked to them, and what they are saying now is that if we are willing to take over, they will give us priority. Otherwise, they will have to look for money outside."

"MSM Group has already been attracting investment from outside before. They don't have such strong strength at all. Otherwise, they would have started it long ago and would not cooperate with us. We have talked with them many times about the city government's area renovation. .”

Andrew Balasco was a little angry. He worked in the media and he knew some inside information.

"MSM Group's current capital chain is already very tight. The American institutions that originally promised to invest in them have now gone back on their word. The subprime mortgage crisis is so serious that they themselves cannot protect themselves, and our Spanish institutions have already given them loans before. It’s a lot of money, so MSM Group may not be able to attract investment now.”

After hearing this, Yang Hao nodded, and the general situation became clear.

"What do you think?"

"I think we can consider taking it in." Carlos Leo has always been more radical.

"I specifically found a third party to do some research. In this place where land is at a premium, the rental return rate is still very high. Major multinational companies and institutions, in particular, are very interested in moving in."

"But if we take over, the funds will be a little tight. I also asked them to make an estimate. It is estimated that 1 million euros will be withdrawn from the club every year." Fernando Vazquez, the god of wealth, said.

"How much can the bank lend us?" Carlos Leo asked.

"I don't know yet. I am preparing for the worst."

"Then find a bank loan. The interest rate is so low now. I think with our current strength, it will be no problem."

When Carlos Leo said this, he changed the topic, "I'm even thinking about buying their headquarters. From now on, we will exclusively hold this area, so we don't have to do activities, publicity, and go to Discuss it with them.”

"I agree." Andrew Balasco also agreed, "But I suggest that we should wait a little longer. They are a little strapped for funds now. We certainly cannot show a strong will and let them hit the wall first."

"To be honest, the market conditions are so bad now, the real estate bubble has collapsed, and these two buildings are in ruins every minute. How many people dare to invest? Even if there are, they are just waiting to buy the bottom."

"Yes, instead of letting others buy the bottom, we should do it ourselves. When we cooperated with them, they were not polite to us. In order to buy the land in the middle, we spent an extra 1 million euros, among other things. Yes." Fernando Vazquez agreed.

In terms of business, now is definitely not the right time to end things.

If it takes action now, MSM Group will not only not be grateful to Atletico Madrid, but may even feel that Atletico Madrid has taken advantage of them. Instead of doing this, it is better to let them go out and hit a wall.

"To put it bluntly, in this case, we are still paying the construction fee for the Twin Towers as agreed, so that the project will not be suspended. MSM Group should be grateful. Once the construction is suspended, their capital chain will be even more tense. "

If they do something unethical, Atletico Madrid announces that they have no money to invest, and everyone will just mess with it.

Wait until the end, when the situation is bad enough, to clean up the mess.

This is the essence of bargain hunting.

But Atletico now attaches great importance to image and reputation, so some things are not easy to do.

It would be best to just sit back and wait for the MSM Group to ask for help.

"Then let's do it!" Yang Hao made a quick decision.

Since everyone thinks it’s feasible, let’s do it.

Carlos Leo is right, banks are willing to provide low-interest loans, but it would be a fool to not lend and buy at the bottom.

And he was sure that he had seen data in his previous life and found that office rents in Madrid, Spain, were recovering very quickly.

It is the capital after all.

This business is worth doing.

Speaking of bargain hunting, Cerezo brought another piece of news.

Mexico's America Telecom Group is inspecting Spain.

"When did this happen?"

"Not long ago, it was said that they wanted to sponsor, but there was also news that they wanted to acquire. They were only interested in teams in the Madrid region, such as Leganes, Getafe and Rayo Vallecano. wait."

There are many satellite cities around Madrid, such as Leganes, Getafe and Fuenlabrada.

Among them, Getafe and Leganes are both located in the southwest suburbs of Madrid.

Yang Hao had calculated before that the distance from Getafe's Alfonso Perez Stadium to Atletico Madrid's Emirates Stadium is about 12 kilometers, so relatively speaking, it is still quite far.

Because of this, when Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid play Getafe, it is generally not a Madrid derby.

Even if the media wants to hype it up, it will be called the Madrid Region Derby.

Just like when Valencia competes with Villarreal, it is called the Valencia Region Derby.

On the contrary, Rayo Vallecano is located in downtown Madrid, but this team is too weak.

"Rallo Vallecano is in the third level of Spain right now, right?" Yang Hao asked.

"Yes, we are currently ranked third in the Spanish Third Division, not as good as Real Madrid's second team Castilla and Deportivo La Coruña."

La Liga and La Liga are unified, but La Liga C is divided into four groups.

So now many teams are desperately trying to reach La Liga, and then from La Liga to La Liga.

Rayo Vallecano is an interesting team, it is a family business, the current president is Maria Teresa Rivero, she is a woman, and she is 72 years old.

Teresa's husband, Jose Mateos, acquired Rayo Vallecano in 91 when he was still in Segunda División and in deep debt crisis.

In January 94, halfway through the season, her husband could not continue to serve as the president of Rayo Vallecano due to financial problems, so Theresa was pushed out, and Theresa did not understand football at all.

But with the cooperation of her and her second son, Rayo Vallecano turned out to be pretty good. He was promoted to La Liga and played a dark horse role.

However, Rayo Vallecano’s biggest draw is the women’s team.

Because of Teresa, Rayo Vallecano's women's football team is very famous in Spain. They once introduced Ronaldo's ex-wife Milani, which made the team famous.

Only then did the famous Spanish commentator Dora Carvi mock and ridicule her.

"Teresa doesn't know anything about football, she only knows how to give birth to children."

This was used to mock the first female president in the history of La Liga, who gave birth to a total of 13 children for her husband.

At the beginning of the century, when Atletico Madrid was promoted to La Liga, Teresa was selling Rayo Vallecano everywhere. She could buy this La Liga team for only 7500 million euros, but no one was interested at the time.

The reason is also very simple. When Rayo Vallecano performed best, the stadium attendance was very poor.

Their Vallecas Stadium has a capacity of only 14500 people, but if you go to the site, you will find that the facilities and conditions of this stadium are very poor, so their home income is very poor.

For this reason, Vallecano's upper limit has been locked.

However, as a time traveler, Yang Hao noticed another thing.

As he said before, the La Pennetta stadium in the eastern suburbs of the city that Atletico Madrid renovated in its previous life is just northeast of Rayo Vallecano. The straight-line distance is about six or seven kilometers. One is in the southeast of the city and the other is in the city. East side of the district.

If someone could really acquire Rayo Vallecano, negotiate with the city government, contract out the unfinished project of La Pennetta Stadium, invest money, and build a new stadium, it would be really interesting.

At that time, Atletico Madrid will be in the south of the city center, Real Madrid will be in the north of the city center, and there will be another team in the eastern suburbs of the city, creating a proper triangular confrontation.

But Yang Hao just said it casually.

Rayo Vallecano is currently in the third level, and it's difficult to get promoted, let alone enter La Liga.

……

After a week of rest, Atletico Madrid ushered in the 29th round of La Liga.

This time the team challenged Sevilla away from home.

Messi scored a goal for Atletico Madrid in the 18th minute of the first half.

It was Robben on the left who provided the assist for him.

In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, Marcelo assisted Torres and scored a goal.

Sevilla scored a goal from Capel in the 77th minute of the second half.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-1 away from home.

In the 52nd minute of this game, Kaká was injured and was injured. It was caused by a physical collision with an opponent's player, but the problem was not serious and he was out of action for about 2 weeks.

Injuries like this are actually difficult to avoid.

……

In mid-week, the Spanish national team organized a training camp.

The purpose of this hasty training camp is to play a warm-up match with Italy.

The venue of the match was arranged in Elche.

The European Cup is approaching and all teams are preparing intensively.

Yang Hao's warm-up match arrangements are actually very particular.

For example, playing against England is mainly to test how much pressure the team's passing and ball-control style can withstand in the face of England's impact flow tactics of long passes and lobs?

England's current problem is in the midfield. Lampard and Gerrard failed to form a good synergy, causing England's midfield to lose power, while Spain's advantage lies precisely in the midfield.

But Italy is different.

Now the Italian national team coach Donadoni has adopted a 433 tactical play and wants to carry out tactical reforms.

But this team has a lot of veterans.

For example, Cannavaro, Materazzi, Panucci, Gianluca Zambrotta, Grosso and so on.

Nesta did not enter the national team this time due to injury.

The midfielder is dominated by Perrotta, Pirlo and De Rossi.

So now Italy is playing very hard and is in an embarrassing period of replacement between the old and the new.

Unfortunately, Italy has not produced any good players in recent years.

For example, in this game, Yang Hao took a look at the list of the Italian national team. The younger ones are De Rossi and Aquilani. The former is Roma's midfielder, and the latter is the core organizer of Valencia.

But Aquilani is currently in the national team, and it is difficult to shake Pirlo's position.

This is another awkward place in Italy.

If Pirlo and Aquilani are used at the same time, the defense of the midfield and frontcourt will be very problematic.

So, they need Perrotta.

Yang Hao's current main lineup has been basically determined. What he wants to do now is to further verify whether this style of play can be effective in the European Cup.

By the way, let’s also get to know the opponents in the European Cup.

Against Italy, the core thing Yang Hao wants to investigate is, facing a team that is strictly defensive, is there a good solution for Spain's passing and cutting?

In Atletico Madrid, Messi is the best breakthrough player.

At the same time, high center forwards like Luca Toni are also a big test for Spain's defense.

This is the purpose of the warm-up match.

Through this kind of targeted opponents, we can constantly inspect the team, find out problems, and then solve them.

Even in the first half, Yang Hao lined up Marcos Senna in the midfield, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi and Iniesta, while Villa served as a single forward combination.

This is somewhat similar to the 4141 tactic adopted by Aragones in his previous life.

But it turns out that this effect is far from ideal.

Possession of the ball is very advantageous, but it is difficult to convert possession into threatening offense.

Italy didn't even compete with Spain in the midfield, nor did they try to win the ball. They just organized a well-organized defense.

Spain was completely overwhelming, but to what avail?

You can't attack from the front!

"That's the problem." Yang Hao stood on the sidelines and analyzed Juanma Lillo and Guardiola.

"Only possession of the ball is useless. No matter how much we pull or move, as long as the opponent maintains a coordinated overall formation, it will be difficult for us to rush in."

"So, Iniesta must not be placed on the wing." Juanma Lillo said.

If Iniesta is not on the wing, Cesc Fabregas will come down.

Yang Hao's arrangement is actually because he wants the players and the media to see the purpose of his choice.

"Old rules, we still have to play 433. I think David Silva can play. His ribs will be very threatening, especially with Iniesta. The two have a good understanding. Antonio Lopez on the left The back plug will be a very important weapon for us.”

This should be the biggest difference between Yang Hao and Aragones in his previous life.

After Antonio Lopez performed well at Atletico Madrid, he switched to Valencia to take up the main role.

Under the guidance and trust of Ancelotti, Antonio Lopez is one of the best left backs in La Liga this season.

Capdevila is not as offensive as he is.

Then the entire tactical play will be very clear.

David Silva is on the left, Iniesta and Xavi are in the middle.

If you encounter a weaker opponent, go to Xabi Alonso and directly kill the opponent with a pass-and-cut style.

If you encounter a strong enemy, it's Marcos Senna.

Senna's defense is still very secure.

Another thing to mention is that with Pepe joining the Spanish national team, the back line during the Aragones era was unstable, but it has not appeared now.

Pepe, Puyol and Ramos are the three most stable players in the defense, and they are also the ones Yang Hao trusts the most.

Plus goalkeeper Casillas and left back Antonio Lopez.

This defense line is basically fine.

In fact, when Yang Hao adjusted in the second half, it was Antonio Lopez who advanced from the left and assisted Torres to score the winning goal.

Spain defeated Italy 1-0 at home.

If there are no injuries, Yang Hao's European roster is basically determined.

　Let me explain, it’s not that I deliberately portrayed Cruyff like this, but that sometimes Cruyff’s columns are really disgusting, and sometimes what he says does make sense, but it doesn’t sound good, so with Barcelona The relationship with the management is also not very good. In the book, Mourinho did not conform to his football philosophy, so of course he scolded him even more fiercely. In addition, today is still a single update, thank you bosses! Thank you!
