Chapter 314 La Liga’s final madness! The group of climbing to the top and dying [a big chapter with ten thousand words, please beg to subscribe]

This year's UEFA draw ceremony and the annual European Super Cup have nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.

The Sheets Legion stayed in Mahdahonda to concentrate on preparing for the first game of the new season.

By the way, Atletico Madrid's current unbeaten record reaches 71 games.

The awards ceremony at the Champions League draw is mainly for those who won the Champions League last season, and the competition is basically between the champion and the runner-up, so Real Madrid and Barcelona will play the leading roles, and it has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.

What really attracts attention is the draw for the Champions League group stage.

From the perspective of classification, the eight seeded teams are the top three of the Western Premier League, the Premier League BIG4, and the remaining one is Inter Milan.

Needless to say, in the second tier, Bayern, Valencia, Porto, Lyon and other teams are all very strong.

Terrible third and fourth gears.

Everyone knows that if these two teams "mix" into the four major leagues, it will often be very troublesome.

There are also teams from cold Northern Europe or distant regions such as Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey.

The biggest headache is Russia and Ukraine, which are far away, cold, and troublesome.

Of course, if you go there in September or early October, the situation will be relatively better.

But now, all the troublesome factors of third and fourth gear are present.

In the third gear, a group of guys called the Bianconeri were "mixed".

After being relegated and sinking to this day, Juventus has entered the third gear since returning to the Champions League.

Teams such as Marseille and Zenit St. Petersburg are very difficult to play.

The fourth pot includes Shakhtar Donetsk, Fiorentina, Dynamo Kyiv and Denmark's Aalborg.

Among them, the Donetsk miners are the most troublesome.

"There are indeed a lot of rumors outside. The main reason is that La Liga is too strong now."

Guardiola sighed. With the current situation in La Liga, it will be a matter of time before he is targeted.

"But I think UEFA shouldn't do anything too embarrassing, especially a live draw like this, which is too obvious and not good to watch."

Yang Hao laughed after hearing this.

nice?

Every draw is bad.

Or we should ask, which Champions League draw did not result in some news?

Of course, to a certain extent, it can be explained as a probability problem, it is just such a "coincidence".

This in itself is also a very important aspect of the Champions League.

Or rather, a gimmick.

To put it bluntly, killing Atletico Madrid in the group stage is definitely the biggest news of the year in the Champions League.

This reminded Yang Hao of his brother who knew how to be a football player in his previous life. He grabbed traffic with his left hand and money with his right hand. He insisted on grabbing it with both hands, and both hands had to be strong.

Whoever is popular will be attacked first, and whoever is strong will be tortured first. The game is played with seven words: independence, objectivity, and a third party.

Before traveling through time, Yang Hao, an experienced driver who had been driving for more than 20 years, had driven a BMW, Mercedes-Benz Land Rover, and an Otto Antelope. He knew very well that no car is perfect and no one is perfect.

Just like the eighth-and-a-half-generation Civic that has been with him for more than ten years, the sound insulation, whoever sits in it will definitely make people collapse.

There is no central control screen.

But we are smart. We bought a USB flash drive, downloaded more than a thousand songs online, and turned up the sound to the loudspeaker. Isn’t this soundproof (broken face)?

But is this car bad?

Nor is it.

When I first bought it, it was at that time that within 20 yuan, its double-layered instrument panel was the most sci-fi, and I have been craving it for many years.

Xiaoben's car is very light and the iron cover is very thin, but as an experienced driver, he drives very carefully and avoids accidents easily.

Well, there's absolutely no ambiguity here, literally.

In addition, it is durable and has no minor problems.

So, it depends on how you choose.

Don't talk about it. As soon as you talk about it, Yang Hao can't help but think of the mistress who has been with him for more than ten years.

As soon as I got in the car, I turned the key twice and the music started playing.

"In this ups and downs society, no matter how desires blossom, no matter how a young man's family is established, we all come and go for love."

"I have decided that I want to be a kind-hearted villain, and I will smoke the wheat and the wine."

This is a band he liked very much in his previous life, but he still doesn’t know where it is now.

Travelers have a bad experience in this regard.

I will complain to the Crossing Management Bureau later. If I can’t even provide the minimum service experience, why should I eat?

In fact, the same is true in football.

If UEFA really wants to mess with La Liga, they only need to slightly accommodate physical confrontations and fouls in terms of law enforcement standards, and then La Liga will be very uncomfortable.

But this obviously goes against the direction of UEFA's reform and development.

To put it bluntly, football now encourages offense and fast pace.

Conservative football like Serie A is really drowsy and will only make more and more young people flee.

Moreover, the current president of the Spanish Football Association, Bilal, is also the vice president of UEFA, in charge of refereeing work.

Yang Hao dare not say that there is no partiality and care for La Liga, but at least under the standards, La Liga will not suffer.

Therefore, if you want to mess with La Liga, you really have to make some fuss about the schedule.

No, what is the name of the lottery drawn by Spain in the just-concluded European Cup?

As for what Guardiola said, it won’t be too ugly to eat...

Yang Hao can only say that the pattern is broken.

In a few years, you will even regret it after the lottery is drawn. Do you believe it?

Was it an unintentional accident? Or is it a technical issue?

Yang Hao didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, but this kind of thing was just like a lottery draw.

There are already so many conspiracy theories out there. It’s best not to have an accident. If there is an accident, yellow mud will fall off your crotch.

How to say it clearly?

……

Atletico Madrid, as the seed team, was drawn into Group H.

In the second tier of teams, except for Valencia, other teams may meet.

And the strength is not bad, PSV and Sporting Lisbon are relatively weak here.

Well, there's Rome.

The Giallorossi are now almost hollowed out by the old ghost Ancelotti.

"The most unlucky thing is to be drawn against Bayern Munich, pick 7 out of 1, the probability is too small." Guardiola said while watching the live broadcast.

Yang Hao smiled and said nothing.

He was observing the glass tank of the ball very carefully, and wanted to know if it was really heated?

Or, is there anything else fishy?

Let alone the live broadcast, you can’t even tell any clues from the scene.

In European football, everyone actually understands this tacitly.

unless……

"I'm inferior!" Yang Hao really cursed.

Juanma Lillo, Guardiola and Pochettino were also dumbfounded.

Isn’t this operation too sexy?

Atletico Madrid drew Bayern Munich in the second pot!

This clearly means pushing towards the group of death.

"We only reached the semi-finals last season. If you have the ability, go and fight Real Madrid and Barcelona. They performed best last season."

Everyone really could only smile bitterly.

Facts have proved that in the eyes of UEFA, Atletico Madrid's "thorn" is still a headache and threat to La Liga.

The strength is too strong. If I don't do something about it, I might win the championship again.

"At this pace, the third tier is either Juventus, Zenit St. Petersburg or Marseille."

result……

"Juventus!"

"Atletico drew Juventus in pot three."

From the TV commentary, you can also see that there were people applauding at the scene.

Who are these people?

Who applauded?

Stand up and see if I don't beat him to death!

Of course, the applause is not all about gloating about Atletico Madrid's misfortune and adding insult to injury, but that they don't have to worry about being drawn against Juventus.

"Pep, stop talking from now on." Yang Hao patted Guardiola on the shoulder and advised.

Atletico Madrid really cannot afford your poisonous milk.

Both Juanma Lillo and Pochettino couldn't help laughing.

No matter who is drawn, promotion is a high probability event for Atletico Madrid, but there will be some troubles in the process.

“我看了一下，H组的赛程是11月25日第5轮，第1档去客场踢第4档。”

Yang Hao guessed it.

At the end of November, instead of going to Ukraine, Yang Hao would rather go to Romania.

"Give me Cluj, Romania!" Yang Hao prayed.

But reality gave him a cruel slap in the face, and Atletico Madrid drew Shakhtar Donetsk.

The teams in Tier 4 are the strongest and also have the most devilish schedule.

Atletico Madrid, Bayern, Juventus, Shakhtar Donetsk.

These four teams are in a group, and they are absolutely killing people.

"Now, if anyone tells me that there is nothing wrong with drawing lots, I will spit on him to death!"

None of the four teams in La Liga are particularly good.

Atletico Madrid is of course the worst in signings, and Real Madrid is also in bad shape. They will also go to Borisol in Belarus in the fifth round, and they will also travel a long way to compete, and they will also face Zenit St. Petersburg in October.

Valencia was also not ideal, and the first team met Inter Milan.

The Bats meet Inter Milan. The two sides have been old enemies since Cooper was still coaching the Nerazzurri.

Ancelotti met Inter Milan again, an alternative Milan derby, which was also full of gimmicks and highlights.

The only pity is probably that AC Milan enters the Champions League. Otherwise, arranging Valencia and AC Milan together would be a classic plot of the Champions League.

"You don't know how to change this old-fashioned plot." Yang Hao sneered.

"From the current point of view, we cannot have any problems in the first four rounds and must go all out." Juanma Lillo reminded.

Yang Hao nodded. If he could win four consecutive games, the remaining two rounds would be irrelevant.

But if you want to win 4 consecutive games, it is not that difficult.

Especially the two rounds against Bayern, which were in the 3rd and 4th rounds respectively.

This is equivalent to playing two rounds of the Champions League knockout rounds.

But when Parales and others added the Champions League schedule to the La Liga and Copa del Rey schedules, everyone gasped.

This schedule is absolutely deadly!

On October 10th, he visited Camp Nou to play Barcelona, ​​followed by two weeks of national team games. On the 4th, he played against Real Madrid at home, on the 18nd, he played away at Bayern Munich, on the 22th, he played away at Villarreal, and on the 26th, it was the fourth round of the Copa del Rey. .

They will play Real Mallorca at home on November 11st and Bayern Munich at home on November 1th.

Don’t say anything, just ask, is this kind of schedule difficult?

"To be honest, this schedule is really terrible!" Yang Hao exhaled heavily.

Judging from the current situation, Atletico Madrid really cannot take it lightly.

……

All the major awards of last season’s Champions League are freshly released.

Since this is the selection of the Champions League, it has nothing to do with the European Cup.

The Player of the Season was awarded to Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Best Player and Best Forward awards alone.

The best goalkeeper of the season was awarded to Real Madrid's Casillas.

The best midfielder of the season was awarded to Barcelona's Xavi, and the best defender of the season was awarded to Barcelona's Puyol.

Among the five best of the season, Real Madrid won three and Barcelona won two.

There's actually not much suspense about this.

Judging from the game process, Real Madrid really had an overwhelming advantage throughout the whole process, but Barcelona relied on defense to win the championship. This was also Mourinho's first Champions League championship in his coaching career.

Compared with the Champions League awards, what really attracted media attention was the group stage draw results.

Atletico Madrid was drawn into the group of death, which aroused widespread discussion among media and fans around the world.

It would be an absolute nightmare to draw Legion, Bayern, Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk together.

Atletico Madrid general manager Hill attended the draw on behalf of the team. He said in an interview with media reporters, "This is a particularly challenging group."

Hill Jr. said that Atletico Madrid was indeed unlucky and was drawn into a very difficult group, "but our opponents will find it even more difficult because they have to face Atletico Madrid."

Atletico Madrid general manager said with a smile.

The German media and Italian media were generally depressed because no one wanted to be drawn into a group with Atletico Madrid.

Bild believes that this group is the one with the smallest difference in average strength.

"Atletico Madrid has a slight advantage, but it is not enough to guarantee that they will qualify. Bayern and Juventus are equally strong, and Shakhtar Donetsk are not weaker than them, especially at home."

Gazzetta dello Sport also believes that it is normal for the four teams in this group to stand out from the group stage.

The Spanish newspaper Marca believes that the four La Liga teams have not had very good luck in the draw this season. This is obviously because La Liga has been too strong in the past few years and has become the target of public criticism.

Marca didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was already revealed.

Spanish media believe that the four La Liga teams will face a test on the schedule. Who can stand out from the difficult schedule and who is the real strong one.

"Among the four teams, Atletico Madrid's schedule is undoubtedly the most difficult, especially in October and the visit to Donetsk at the end of November. This is a nightmare that no team wants to encounter."

Hill said readily in an interview with Marca: "The result of the draw is an established fact, and there is no point in continuing to discuss it."

"Next, the first thing our team has to do is to study our opponents, adjust our own state, straighten out our team's overall operations, and play every game well. This is the most critical thing."

As for the target, Xiao Hill had an affair with Yang Hao before he left.

Regardless of the outcome of the draw, there is only one goal.

"There is no doubt that we faced two of the greatest teams in continental Europe in the group stage. It was terrible, but it was also our luck. In the group stage, we could expose more problems in the team and improve them. solve."

"As for the goal of the group stage, we have never changed."

Although Europe's three major bookmakers have slightly lowered their expectations for Atletico Madrid after the Champions League group stage draw, the Sheets are still the most popular team to win the Champions League this season.

The day after the Champions League draw results came out, Barcelona met UEFA Cup champion Deportivo La Coruña at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.

What will happen when two teams that also play defensive counterattacks and rely on solid defense to win the championship meet in the Super Cup?

The answer is, fight so hard that sparks fly.

After Barcelona sold Ronaldinho and introduced Robben and Cesc Fabregas this summer, the team's overall offensive system is making adjustments.

The simplest thing is that Ronaldinho controlled the ball before, but what about now?

Whether it is Xavi or Fabregas, they basically focus on passing through the midfield quickly and directly counterattacking.

This change has a huge impact on players.

In the previous América Telecom Cup held in Mexico City, Barcelona really fell at the feet of the Spaniard and was beaten 1-0 by Valverde. The mistake came from goalkeeper Valdez.

This time at the Stade Louis II, facing Super Depor, the two sides maintained a very stalemate throughout the first half, with no one able to break through the other's goal.

Obviously, defensively, both teams did a great job.

Of course, the game won't be pretty.

But what people never expected was that in the last minute before the end of the first half, Diego sent a direct pass from behind, and Colombian forward Falcao, who had just joined the team, intervened at high speed.

When Valdes faced Falcao's counter-offside, he decisively abandoned the goal and got the ball first.

But the terrible thing is that he didn't hug her the first time and let go.

This mistake was too outrageous. Falcao decisively seized the opportunity and scored a goal.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. After conceding a goal first, Barcelona had to take the initiative.

But in the 59th minute, Diego provided another assist in the counterattack, and Pienaar scored a goal.

2 is better than 0!

Although Tevez later assisted Robben to get a goal back, Barcelona eventually lost to Deportivo La Coruña 1-2.

Losing the America Telecom Cup could be said to be just a warm-up and not taken seriously, but now we are losing the European Super Cup, which has aroused a very strong response.

Valdes has never been a very stable goalkeeper, but his style fits well with Barcelona's passing and ball-control style.

But now, Mourinho no longer needs to pass and control the ball, but adopts a defensive counterattack style.

Passing and controlling the ball is an active style of play, with a high fault tolerance rate; but defensive counterattack is a passive style of play, with a very low fault tolerance rate.

To put it simply, the former is like a forward. You try 10 shots and if you score 1, you are a hero.

The latter is like a defender. You have successfully defended 9 times. If you make one mistake, you are a sinner.

Valdez's style is very suitable for being a "forward", but now being a "defender" in Barcelona is really too depressing.

This is what Yang Hao has been emphasizing. The concept may seem hollow, but in fact, it affects all aspects of the club, including personnel selection.

……

"Mourinho called me." In the conference room of Barcelona's office area at Camp Nou, Chairman Laporta, Vice Chairman Ferran Soriano, Engla, and Rosell, There are also technical director Begiristain, as well as board members Bartomeu and Rafael Yost.

Except for regular meetings at fixed times, it is rare to see so many senior leaders of Barcelona sitting together.

They are very busy on weekdays.

It was Russell who spoke.

He is now Vice President for Athletics.

"He was very dissatisfied with Valdez's performance. Even last season, Valdez made many mistakes. He has made consecutive mistakes at the beginning of this season."

"Mourinho believes that last season's championship led to players' psychological relaxation, and there was a significant decline in status and performance."

He fired aggressively as soon as he came up, which was in line with Russell's usual characteristics.

In this regard, he is actually quite similar to Mourinho.

If it were anyone else, it would be hard for everyone to say anything, but Valdez really has nothing to do.

This guy has been unreliable from beginning to end.

Many people even say that he is the most unstable factor in Barcelona's lineup.

Yes, a bit like Atletico Madrid's Neuer.

Didn't the media previously tease that Atletico Madrid's defense has the so-called three auspicious treasures?

Valdes is the treasure of Barcelona's defense.

As soon as Mourinho fired, it was obviously signings.

"Who does he want to sign?" Begiristain asked with concern.

"There are two players on the list, Cesar of Inter Milan and Buffon of Juventus. It is really difficult for Valdes to adapt to his tactics. They are too short."

Unstable performance and short height are all Valdez's shortcomings and cannot be improved.

"There are almost no outstanding goalkeepers in the transfer market now. To poach Buffon will cost a very high transfer fee." Ferran Soriano came out and said.

"Although we won the Champions League last season and our revenue exceeded 3.5 million euros, our salary structure is still not reasonable. I personally suggest not to buy Buffon. Otherwise, we need to readjust our season budget. , in order to comply with La Liga’s review.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Russell also said: "But the current problem is that our goalkeeper is becoming the biggest shortcoming. He made two mistakes and cost us two championships. If this continues into the new season, the team will The risk will be great.”

The implication is that results are difficult to guarantee.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all didn’t know what to say.

Soriano considers the problem from a financial perspective, while Russell considers the problem from a competitive perspective.

What both of them said made sense, but they didn't seem that convincing.

After staying in Barcelona for a long time, I have become accustomed to this atmosphere.

"Buffon's price is indeed too expensive." President Laporta spoke to appease both parties. "If we recruit Cesar from Inter Milan, it probably won't be much cheaper. In this case, I suggest looking for him again. Let’s see if there is a more suitable candidate.”

"There are only two days left before the transfer market closes." Russell reminded.

Laporta looked at Begiristain, who thought for a while and said, "Sevilla's Diego Lopez performed well last season and is worth about 1000 million euros. Can he consider it?"

"Diego Lopez?" Laporta thought for a moment and nodded: "I also heard that this player performed well. He is from Real Madrid, has strength, and is very tall."

Another Spanish player.

Russell thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said: "Jose means that he wants stability. Diego Lopez's performance in Real Madrid is not convincing. Although he performed well in Sevilla, he came to How Barcelona will perform, who knows?"

The transfer market is very transparent and open.

you get what you pay for.

Stars are expensive for a reason, and their strength has been tested.

"How much is Buffon's transfer fee?" Laporta frowned.

Since Mourinho led the team to win the Champions League, Russell is now beginning to feel a little out of control.

The main reason is that he has a good relationship with Mendes. He was the one who finalized Mourinho, and Mourinho was controversial enough. He won the Champions League in his first season, which was only the second time in Barcelona's history. Champions League.

Who was the last person to win the Champions League?

Cruyff!

In this case, Mourinho was enthusiastically welcomed by Barcelona fans. If he said that he wanted to sell Ronaldinho, then he would sell it.

He said he wanted to buy Robben, so he bought it.

But the problem now is that he wants to buy Buffon again, which is a bit...

"I asked Mendes to evaluate it. Juventus is also very short of money now, about 4 million to 5 million euros."

After hearing this, Laporta's brows relaxed slightly.

The transfer fee is not particularly expensive.

Especially considering that Buffon has been the well-deserved number one goalkeeper in European football over the past few years.

Even when Cech was at his peak, everyone felt that he could catch up with Buffon, but he had not yet reached Buffon's height.

If Buffon can really be signed for 40 to 50 million euros, it would be quite a deal.

At this moment, Soriano coughed lightly and reminded: "Buffon is already 30 years old."

Laporta was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up.

Is it worth signing a 30-year-old veteran with a transfer fee of to million euros?

"Furthermore, the most important thing about signing Buffon is actually not the transfer fee. Valencia has contacted him before, but Buffon's annual salary requirement is still quite high. If they want to sign him, I'm afraid they have to pay him The maximum salary in the team,” Soriano reminded.

"Maximum salary?" Laporta frowned.

If Buffon is really given a maximum salary, Barcelona's salary structure will have to be readjusted.

The salary originally freed up by selling Ronaldinho has now been invested back.

"With Buffon's strength and form, as well as the longevity of the Italian goalkeeper, there is no problem in playing for another five years. Don't forget, how old is Van der Sar now?"

Russell said this, paused before continuing: "The biggest shortcoming of our current lineup is the goalkeeper position. If we cannot sign Buffon, what if Valdes makes another mistake midway through the season? ?”

This is indeed a big risk.

And it is an uncontrollable risk.

If such a situation really occurs, Mourinho only needs to say a word in the media and directly put the blame on the management.

Thinking of this, Laporta was also embarrassed.

Buy it or not?

……

"What? Barcelona wants to buy Buffon?"

Yang Hao was surprised.

This is definitely the hottest news before the European transfer market closes.

Everyone thought that the transfer market this summer was very sluggish, but they didn't expect that such a move would suddenly come before the closure.

"It's absolutely true. It is said that the price was asked, but Juventus rejected it." Mendiodo is now Yang Hao's ear, specializing in collecting intelligence, and naturally he will not miss this breaking news from Barcelona.

"How much does it cost?" Yang Hao was surprised.

Even though Barcelona has been doing pretty well in the past two years, in fact, they are really not as wealthy as Real Madrid.

Historically, there has been a lot of debt.

"The transfer fee of 40 to 50 million euros, the most important thing is the annual salary, which may reach 8 million euros."

Yang Hao was speechless.

This is a bit outrageous.

It is natural for Juventus to refuse.

Buffon has made great contributions to Juventus, especially now that the team has returned to Serie A and entered the Champions League. Buffon can be regarded as having retired due to his age.

In this case, if someone is really willing to pay the money, Juventus is still very happy.

Mendiodo talked about some rumors about this transfer, and Yang Hao felt that they were very credible.

If Barcelona didn't blink and decided to buy Buffon directly, it would definitely not be trustworthy.

Barcelona does not have such financial resources.

On the contrary, like now, it proves that Barcelona really wants to buy.

Their current situation is like working hard to raise money to buy a house. After buying it, they have to live a life of careful calculation and digging every day, for fear that they will suddenly be unable to pay off the mortgage.

Fortunately for Barcelona, ​​they bought a second-hand house in a school district that was a few years old.

At least there is a guarantee.

If you are like the football writer Yang Hao met at Qidian in his previous life, the old man surnamed Chen went out on the street, emptied all his belongings, and bought a house in the city. The purchase was off-plan, and it took three years to hand over the house. It would be a lot of money. The promise was not fulfilled, and there will be renovations and monthly property fees and parking space rentals...

Smash them all down, the pressure is huge!

Unfortunately, he was also unlucky to have his old mother become seriously ill. Not only did he spend all his savings, but also borrowed a lot of foreign debt. No one would believe this kind of bloody plot.

Speaking of which, Yang Hao still felt that his friend was quite pitiful.

If now, he would throw millions at him every minute to help him get out of trouble quickly.

such a pity……

I don’t know how his new book is going.

Before he traveled through time, this unlucky kid also wrote a new book, threw himself into the basement, felt a little depressed, and kept talking about going to the park and jumping into the lake all day long...

You are really not a brother and I don’t want to help you. You were born in the wrong time and space!

If you travel through time with me, I will give you a monthly salary of 1.8 million, and you still need to worry about money?

(Dad Ma) Isn’t it just money?

……

Since it was before the transfer market was closed, the transfer between the two parties was carried out very efficiently.

It is said that Mendes was also involved in the transfer transactions and negotiations.

In the end, Barcelona signed Buffon from Juventus for 4500 million euros.

This once again shocked the entire European football world.

The final madness!

In one summer, nearly 2 million were spent. Barcelona's transfer investment was not large enough.

At the same time, it also showed its ambition to win three championships.

Catalan media revealed that after Buffon moved to Barcelona, ​​his annual salary reached 800 million euros, which is the first level in the Barcelona team.

Buffon accepted an interview with Italian media after deciding to move to Barcelona.

The Italian goalkeeper said, "I am willing to go to Barcelona. Apart from personal reasons, I also hope to help Juventus."

"With this money, the club can build a championship-winning squad."

This also caused heated discussions throughout European football.

Everyone basically believes that Barcelona's signing of Buffon for 4500 million is indeed a very bold decision.

People are generally optimistic about Buffon's prospects after joining Barcelona.

After all, Buffon's age and strength are there, and there is no problem in adapting to Mourinho's tactics.

The day before Buffon moved to Barcelona, ​​on the 30th, in the first round of La Liga, Barcelona lost 0-1 away to newly promoted Numancia, and Valdes made another mistake.

Sources say that it was Valdes' mistake that led to Barcelona's final decision to sign Buffon.

……

On the evening of August 8st, in the first round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid faced Málaga at home.

Playing at home, Atletico Madrid suppressed their opponents from the start.

This was Malaga's first game since returning to La Liga, and they were a bit embarrassed and exhausted.

Atletico Madrid sent out all their main players in this game.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Torres created a chance in the penalty area, and Iniesta's shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

Just 3 minutes later, Torres dribbled the ball into the penalty area and fell, but the referee did not make a penalty.

The Sheets Legion launched continuous attacks and finally got rewarded in the 19th minute.

Torres, who was very active at the beginning of the game, finally broke the situation. He played the ball in the penalty area. After Kaka broke into the right side of the penalty area, he pushed into the far corner and opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

1 is better than 0!

What is unexpected is that just 6 minutes later, Kaka sent a pass. After Messi stopped the ball with his chest, he broke away from the defensive player and broke into the right side of the penalty area, and then easily dunked past Malaga center defender Guadella. After a few seconds, he volleyed with his right foot and gave Atletico another victory, 2-0!

The game completely turned into Atletico Madrid's performance time.

Málaga, playing away from home, were obviously unable to withstand Atletico Madrid, which was like a wolf at home.

In the 32nd minute, Iniesta made a direct pass, David Silva crossed into the left rib of the penalty area, stopped the ball and dunked past the attacking goalkeeper, and sent the ball into the goal again, 3-0!

The entire Emirates Stadium was completely boiling!

Countless Atletico Madrid fans were shouting.

Until the 44th minute, when the first half was about to end, after Atletico Madrid intercepted the ball in midfield, Kaka advanced with the ball and sent a direct pass. Torres broke into the right rib of the penalty area and shot low 8 meters in front of the goal. Breaking the goal, 4-0!

The first half ended with Atletico Madrid temporarily leading 4-0.

During the halftime break, Yang Hao was full of praise for the players' performance, but he also repeatedly reminded the players that they must seize the opportunity, continue to put some pressure on their opponents, and not slack off.

At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid used a wave of attacks. Kaká shot an angry shot from the outside of the penalty area, which was saved by the goalkeeper.

But just when more than 7 Atletico Madrid fans in the Emirates Stadium sighed, Messi appeared in the penalty area like a ghost, easily hit the supplementary shot, and sent the ball into the goal again, 5-0!

Scored twice!

The Argentinian youngster was so excited that he jumped up.

The Atletico fans at the scene were equally excited.

They never expected that the team would be in such excellent form in the first game of the league.

Malaga lost 5 goals in a row and became angry and launched a desperate counterattack.

But Atletico Madrid's defense was well organized.

Although Malaga also created opportunities, Moroccan forward Nabil Baha's header was directly held by Neuer and failed to score.

As Malaga continued to attack, the defense made another mistake.

Atletico Madrid launched a quick counterattack, but failed to pose a threat.

However, after Iniesta received a pass from his teammate, he suddenly made a pass to the back of the goal. Alves quickly stepped in and hit the goal with a header.

6 is better than 0!

This made Yang Hao look a little dazed on the sidelines.

Alves is that tall and he scores a header?

This is really very rare.

The main reason for this ball is that the defensive players were stretched away by the movement of Atletico Madrid's offensive players, which caused them to expose their flaws.

Just 5 minutes later, Evra broke into the penalty area and hit the goal. After being saved by the goalkeeper, David Silva caught up with the ball on the left and passed it to the center of the goal. Torres headed the ball in front of the goal. Hit, expanding the score again.

7 is better than 0!

Scored twice!

Torres' performance in this game was also quite eye-catching.

After scoring consecutive goals, Yang Hao began to make substitutions in the 60th minute.

Suarez, Di Maria and Modric came on one after another, replacing Torres, Kaká and Messi.

When the three players came off the field, they all received warm applause from the Atletico Madrid fans.

Malaga also tried to attack through continuous substitutions. They hoped to score a goal to save face, but in the end they failed to break Atletico Madrid's goal.

Instead, in the 81st minute, Suarez got a chance and pushed in front of the goal, but was blocked by the goalkeeper.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Malaga 7-0 at home and got a good start to the new season!

……

Victory in the first battle!

Especially Atletico Madrid's 7-0 victory shocked the whole of Spain.

But the first round is destined not to be a lucky day for strong teams.

After Barcelona lost to newly promoted Numancia, Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Deportivo La Coruña.

Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a goal for Super Deportivo in the 26th minute. Although Ronaldo equalized the score, Real Madrid finally lost the ball again and once again failed at the Riazor Stadium.

Since Ruud van Nistelrooy moved to Deportivo La Coruna, the Dutch center has scored almost every time he meets Real Madrid.

Deschamps' team has now become a disaster for Real Madrid.

Wenger said after the game that this was Real Madrid's first game of the new season and the team had not yet found the rhythm and state of the league.

"I believe we can get better and better as the season goes on."

Valencia defeated Real Mallorca 3-0 at home with goals from David Villa, Mata and Vicente.

Espanyol also defeated Valladolid 1-0 at home.

However, Sevilla drew 1-1 away with Racing Santander, and Villarreal drew 1-1 away with Osasuna.

Overall, the competition in La Liga in the new season is still very fierce.

Especially the defeat of the two giant teams Real Madrid and Barcelona has made people see the cruelty of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid is as stable as ever, ranking first in the standings with a goal difference of 7.

Valencia follows with a goal difference of 3.

Although there are not many games to play in the first round, everyone has seen the chaos and intensity of La Liga.

Marca even devoted a full page to introducing the milestone significance of this season to La Liga.

“In the first round of the first season of fulfilling the new broadcast contract, La Liga made everyone’s eyes light up!”

　I updated it after 18 o'clock, but it may have been blocked by smart review, and I didn't notice it myself. Sorry, sorry! I will be more careful in the future.
