Chapter 57 Rich Butcher
Yang Hao's first impression when he saw Torres was: Is this guy Torres?
His face is full of freckles and he is not handsome at all!

When I saw the nervous expression on his face when he looked at me again, as if he had to muster the courage to even look up secretly, I couldn't help but feel secretly amused in my heart, and at the same time, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

This is Fernando Torres!

Future world-class center!
He is still a little kid now, and seeing himself shaking with nervousness makes him feel very satisfied just thinking about it.

"Don't think too much about anything, just do your best and leave the rest to me, do you understand?" Yang Hao comforted him calmly.

I don't know why, but Torres seemed to believe in Yang Hao. He raised his head, looked at the head coach, and nodded heavily in agreement.

Facts have also proved that Torres definitely has a big heart.

In other words, all professional players must have a big heart. The greater their fame, the stronger their ability to withstand pressure.

For such players, tension is only a short-lived process.

For example, Torres entered the state after he got on the court and started training.

And so does Gabby.

Even in 2023, many fans are not very familiar with Gabi, but Yang Hao likes this player very much.

What left a deep impression on him was that in a certain game in the 16/17 season, Torres hit the ground head first and fell into a coma after a collision with an opponent. Gabi immediately gave him first aid and put him in a coma. Torres' tongue pulled out.

The purpose of this is to prevent the tongue from falling back and blocking the trachea.

Sure enough, Torres waited until the team doctor arrived safe and sound.

When he saw this news, Yang Hao felt that Gabi must have learned first aid on weekdays. Otherwise, how could he be the only one who knew what to do if there were so many people on the court?
Another thing is that after Gabi returned to Atletico Madrid from Zaragoza, his performance has been very good and quite stable, and his attendance rate is very amazing. Even in his 30s, he can still provide the team with a steady passing organization. and midfield scheduling.

More importantly, his defensive data is even more amazing than his passing. He has always been one of the best defensive midfielders in La Liga. It can even be said that he is the core of Simeone's Atletico Madrid team. One of the heroes.

Unfortunately, this player never made an appearance for the Spanish national team.

It's not that he's not good enough, it's that Spain has too many talents.

The 16-year-old Torres and Gabby are still very young. Yang Hao is not in a hurry to use them, but Yang Hao wants to give them a chance and an environment more conducive to their growth.

As his book friend [Kendo God] from a previous life commented: Geniuses do not need to level up, they only need to be given a platform.

Yang Hao could feel that both Torres and Gabi were very grateful to him.

……

On the evening of May 5, in the final match of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Mallorca away.

Hasselbaink was soothed by Yang Hao that he did not travel with the team to the away game this time, but stayed in Madrid to concentrate on preparing for the Copa del Rey.

This is true for core players such as Solari, Aguilera, and Belleron.

Yang Hao lined up a defensive line combination of Antonio Lopez, Tony Munoz, Ayala and Zoran Neguse. Among them, the old captain Tony Munoz was the left back and played as a central defender. Captain on the field.

The double defensive midfielder is a combination of Fresnedoso and Oscar Mena. In front are Jose Luque, Hugo Leal and Paunovic, and the center is Kiko.

This set can be said to be a full substitute lineup, because this game has no meaning for Atletico Madrid.

Real Mallorca's two forwards are Eto'o and Tristan, so Yang Hao adopted defensive counterattack tactics during the game.

But defending must be defensive, and you must attack at the beginning.

In just 5 minutes, Paunovic received a pass from Kiko and opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

But in the 15th minute, Eto'o managed to equalize the score.

After that, the two sides went back and forth until the 31st minute, when Antonio Lopez and Jose Luque made a quick counterattack on the left. With the cooperation of the two, Jose Luque sent the ball into the penalty area. In the middle, Kiko hit the ball from close range.

2 is better than 1!

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, the game was still smooth, with both sides having no more desires.

Yang Hao made two substitutions in the 60th minute. Torres replaced Kiko and Gabi replaced Oscar Mena.

Both times were match-up substitutions, and in the past few days of training, the two young players also understood the team's 4231 tactics, so they both knew what they should do after playing.

But they are young after all.

Gabby showed great diligence, but was still a little reserved when holding the ball.

Torres didn't know how to be nervous and was very active, but his physical confrontation was too poor. Every time he got the ball, he was knocked around by Real Mallorca's defenders.

It can be seen that the two young players are working hard to prove themselves, but at present, they are not very mature yet.

At the end of the game, Torres had a very good opportunity. It came from a pass from Hugo Leal. Torres stopped the ball and turned around, wiping the defender away. After starting, he immediately got rid of everyone.

But the subsequent handling showed a lack of experience and was calculated by goalkeeper Leo Frank. The shot completely lost its angle.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Mallorca 2-1.

Yang Hao's team ended the La Liga season with 6 consecutive victories.

When the two young players walked off the court, they both had their heads hanging down, obviously not very satisfied with their debut.

But Yang Hao still smiled and encouraged them.

"You have performed very well. Keep working hard next season!" Yang Hao held one in each hand and comforted.Both of them looked at their head coach with expressions of disbelief.

Does this sentence mean that from now on, we will both be in the first team and hang out with others?
Yang Hao felt their doubts, but out of spite, he chose not to explain anything. Guess!
When he thought about these two green young men losing sleep, he almost burst into laughter.

……

All 38 rounds of La Liga have been played.

Atletico Madrid defeated Real Mallorca 2-1 in an away game. Both sides had no desires and neither tried their best.

Atletico Madrid, in particular, actually played with a full substitute lineup. The key is that they still won.

This really surprised Yang Hao.

The biggest news for Atletico Madrid in this round is the appearance of two young players.

The 16-year-old Torres and Gabi both came on as substitutes in the second half, especially when Torres replaced Kiko.

At the post-match press conference, Mendiodo said that head coach Yang Hao commented that this scene was a handover ceremony for Atletico Madrid's two generations of strikers.

"He firmly believes that Torres will become a world-class center in the future!"

But everyone knows that at present, Torres is still too young.

Especially physical confrontation on the court is really not possible.

In the last round, Deportivo, who won the championship in advance, defeated Espanyol 2-0 and successfully won the La Liga championship.

In fact, they already had it.

Barcelona drew 2-2 at home with Celta Vigo.

It is worth mentioning that after the game, Van Gaal announced that he would leave Barcelona.

This is also within everyone's expectations.

Ever since Barcelona president Nunez stepped down, everyone has basically guessed Van Gaal's ending.

What is really surprising is that Real Madrid, which aims to compete in the Champions League, lost 0-1 at home to Valladolid, while Valencia defeated Zaragoza 2-1.

As a result, Valencia is ranked 3rd in La Liga, Zaragoza is 4th, and Real Madrid is ranked 5th.

This is equivalent to forcing Del Bosque's team to a dead end!
When Yang Hao received this battle report, he was really overjoyed. He said directly in the locker room: "When we successfully avoided relegation, it seemed that even God started to stand on our side!"

why?

There are only 4 Champions League places in La Liga, so if Real Madrid wants to participate in the Champions League next season, they must win in the Champions League final, and then, as the defending champion, bring down Zaragoza and replace it.

This is actually the current rule of the Champions League.

Similar to the fact that after Liverpool won the championship, there were 5 teams in the Premier League (Liverpool had to start from the first round of qualifiers) to participate, but the quota was always only 4.

But it was a bit cruel for Zaragoza.

After finally fighting their way to fourth place in the league, they met Real Madrid who made it to the Champions League final. They could only hope that Valencia would win.

This will inevitably increase the pressure on Real Madrid, which is a good thing for Atletico Madrid.

But what’s more interesting is that in this round of games, Real Mallorca lacked fighting spirit and lost to Atletico Madrid at home, Espanyol lost to Deportivo La Coruna away, and Malaga drew 0-0 with Racing Santander. , Real Oviedo lost to Real Sociedad 0-1, and Numancia lost to Real Betis 1-2.

Since the top teams either tied or lost, after Atletico Madrid scored 3 points, the league rankings unexpectedly rushed to 12th place, which is the same as 11th-placed Athletic Bilbao. .

但由于马竞两回合分别以2比4和1比2输给了毕尔巴鄂竞技，所以排在第12位。

This is definitely something Yang Hao never dared to think about before.

He obviously just wanted to avoid relegation, so why did he rush to such a high position all of a sudden?

No one expected that Atletico Madrid, which had been in the relegation zone for more than half a year, suddenly made a successful counterattack in the last month and became a proper mid-table team.

I can only say with emotion that things in the world are so wonderful!

This also made the media and fans around the world admire Yang Hao even more. He was able to lead the team out of the most chaotic La Liga in history. The 25-year-old Yang Hao successfully proved his strength.

Moreover, he achieved an astonishing record of 4 wins in 4 games when facing two Champions League semifinal teams, Barcelona and Valencia.

It can be said that Yang Hao performed very amazingly in the strong dialogue.

Next is the Copa del Rey final. If he can defeat Real Madrid, Yang Hao will completely defeat three of the four teams in this season's Champions League semifinals.

Even the Spanish newspaper El Pais changed its previous impression of Yang Hao and believed that he was a veritable butcher of a wealthy family.

……

Yang Hao could also browse the overwhelming news and publicity from the outside world, and he felt happy and even a little proud, but he quickly forgot about it.

However, there was a piece of news that attracted Yang Hao's attention.

He couldn't wait to call Xiao Hill.
