Chapter 127 What's so Great About That?

A week later, on April 25, the 33rd round of the league kicked off. Atletico Madrid returned to the Calderon Stadium to host Levante.

Levante is a newly-promoted player from La Liga. Last season, Levante ranked third in the Second Division and barely completed the upgrade. Many media before the season described Levante as, "It seems that it is about to be disbanded, but it suddenly came back with a carbine."

Three years ago, Levante almost disappeared from the Spanish football map due to the financial crisis, but they unexpectedly returned to La Liga.

In the summer, Levante bought some quality players, but almost no one expected them to get any good results.

But in fact, Levante is the best of the three newly promoted horses.

Real Sociedad, who have completed the promotion as the No. 1 in the Second Division, is the most anticipated by the media, but their outstanding performance is only short-lived. Currently ranked 15th in the league, they are still struggling in the relegation circle. With the points of Real Sociedad, they want to advance It is almost impossible to determine to complete the relegation, and they must fight to the final round.

Second place in the second division is Hekus.

This small team from Alicante has returned to La Liga after 14 years. What is even more surprising is that only five years ago, they were still playing in the third league, but Herkus obviously lacked the first league. The battle experience, so far ranked 19th in the league, and 8 points away from the 18th Deportivo Deportivo, also made them almost 'lock the relegation place in advance'.

Levante are currently 13th, two points ahead of Real Sociedad in 15th.

From the point of view of points, Levante is also in danger of being relegated. The advantage of 4 points ahead of the 17th place is not enough for them to be sure of relegation.

The media are all concerned about the championship competition, or the top four in the league and the Champions League qualification competition, but in fact, the relegation battle in La Liga is even more tragic.

Because Atlético de Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid are too strong, they basically win the games against small clubs, which has also made the polarization of La Liga extremely serious. Only 6 points more than 18th Deportivo Deportivo, in other words, 13 teams may be in danger of relegation.

Except for Hercus and Almeria, who are definitely relegated, the other 11 teams have to 'compete' for the last relegation spot.

This cruel battle also made every team try their best to win points.

The same is true for Levante led by Prasa. Even if they played against Atletico Madrid away, they did not give up the game, but worked hard for the whole game, which also caused Atletico Madrid to play very difficult.

After 90 minutes, the Atlético de Madrid fans let out a long breath.

2 to 1.

Maurice and Ozil scored a goal each to help the team beat the Calderon Stadium at home. At the end of the game, the Atlético Madrid players did not have any heart to cheer, they had no energy to cheer for the victory.

Wansheng appeared at the press conference with a grim face after the game, and at the beginning he sincerely praised Levante's performance, "I thought the game would be easy, but I found myself wrong. Levante's performance in the game Out of positivity, every one of their players played very hard, and by comparison, we were a little bit worse."

"I should criticize my players for not taking their opponents seriously."

"The game is over, 2-1, but the result is not all, we are at home, and it is very difficult to win, if I have the right, I will definitely give Levante a point to reward them for the performance they showed in the game. sportsmanship……"

Regardless of the course of the game, Atlético de Madrid won.

After winning this game, there is no suspense to win the championship. At this time, many media were surprised to find that Atletico Madrid had been unbeaten for 33 rounds.

The Atlético de Madrid support media headed by "Aspen" immediately began to hype up a concept, "Atlético de Madrid has a good chance to win the Spanish League Championship with an unbeaten season!"

So far, Atletico Madrid's results in the league are 29 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses. There are 5 rounds left in the league. Atletico Madrid really hopes to win the championship unbeaten this season.

"If we can win the championship with an unbeaten season, it must be a very remarkable achievement, and it will also become a worthy record in the history of Atlético de Madrid!"

"Atlético de Madrid is undefeated in 33 rounds, what's so strange about 5 more rounds!?"

"Wan Sheng led Manchester City to create the longest unbeaten record in the history of the five major leagues - 64 games, and now he leads Atletico Madrid to fight for the unbeaten league is very easy to achieve."

"It's not difficult for Wansheng!"

"Atlético de Madrid are not far from unbeaten in the season, they only need five games and they will be able to complete it. And now, they can already start breaking records..."

Led by the Atlético de Madrid-supporting media, the topic is being discussed across Spain.

Atlético de Madrid fans also began to pay attention, they expected Atlético de Madrid to be brilliant, and then Atlético de Madrid players continued to have internal discussions.

Up and down the club are talking about the topic of invincibility.

Atlético de Madrid president Cerezo, when interviewed by media reporters, also talked about this issue, "Unbeaten season? I hope Wansheng can do it, Atletico Madrid can do it. In my term, Atletico Madrid can achieve the season Undefeated, it must be the best moment of my life!"

————

In the hype of Atlético de Madrid supporting the media, other media have different opinions. For example, the media supporting Real Madrid and Catalonia certainly do not want to see Atlético de Madrid achieve any good results.

They dug into history and made various analyses to show that Atlético de Madrid could not be unbeaten.

"In the history of Spanish football, only two teams have achieved an unbeaten league title, but that was 80 or 90 years ago. In the 1931-1932 season, Real Madrid won the championship with ten wins and eight draws. , is the closest, but it has been 80 years, and there were only 18 games in the league at that time, but now it is 38 games!"

"An unbeaten season is impossible in itself. La Liga is not the Premier League!"

"The Spanish league is the most technical league in Europe. Every team has excellent technical and offensive abilities. It is almost impossible to win every game. Even Barcelona may lose by a big margin. Lost games. So far, Atletico Madrid have done well, but they still have five games to play, and they want to go unbeaten for five rounds, and there is only a theoretical possibility."

"Maybe they can match the 34-round unbeaten set created by Real Madrid, which is quite remarkable..."

"Marca" is expressing that "La Liga is more difficult to achieve an unbeaten season than the Premier League" to refute the argument that "Wan Sheng once led Manchester City to create an unbeaten record of 64 rounds".

But in fact, the media in other countries will definitely find it funny when they see it.

The competition in the Premier League is undoubtedly more tragic than La Liga. It can be seen from the UEFA points ranking that the Premier League has surpassed Serie A to become the world's No. 1 league.

The competition pressure of the first league is not as high as that of the third league?

What's the point of this?

The division of La Liga is serious, it is already recognized that the two most important opponents of Atlético de Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid, both lost to Atlético de Madrid in the league. In the last 5 rounds of the league, Atlético de Madrid is the strongest The opponent is only Malaga, which is ranked 11th in the league.

No matter how you think about it, Atletico Madrid has the hope of achieving an unbeaten season.

As a result, the media supporting Atlético de Madrid immediately began to refute the "Marca" with various arguments. For a time, the two sides fought a direct battle of words over whether Atlético de Madrid could be unbeaten in the league.

In the midst of public opinion, La Liga ushered in the 34th round.

Atletico Madrid's away game against Deportivo Deportivo, which is 18th in the league, is definitely no big deal, but it has attracted the attention of countless media.

Wansheng sent a semi-substitute lineup.

Atlético de Madrid seems to be not paying attention to the game, but in fact, Wansheng kept telling the team to be serious before the game, "I don't want to say more in the last round, you all know why it was so difficult to play. Now our opponents It's Deportivo, 18th in the league, worse than Levante, I don't want the game to look harder than the last..."

"Do you understand!"

Wansheng's stern rebuke made many players tremble with fear.

No one dared to be lazy in the game. Every player who started the game made an effort in the first minute.

As a result, the game went well.

In the 14th minute, 28th minute and 43rd minute, Atletico Madrid scored a goal respectively, leading 3-0 at the end of the first half.

Seeing the game here, the media who don't want Atletico Madrid to break the record are very depressed. They discuss from all angles that Atletico Madrid cannot achieve the unbeaten league, but a series of discussions are not as direct as a game.

There is no suspense for Atletico Madrid to win, in other words, they have been unbeaten in the league for 34 rounds.

34 rounds, 38 rounds, only four games away!

As far as Atletico Madrid's performance in this game is concerned, it is not difficult to achieve four unbeaten games, and it can even be said... It should be very easy.

On the contrary, the support media of Atlético de Madrid was quite excited, and they were ready to rave about Atlético de Madrid.

In the end, Atletico Madrid won the game 5-0 away.

At the post-match press conference, Wan Sheng had just walked into the venue when he was immediately asked about the topic of 'unbeaten season'.

The reporters in the audience were all looking forward to Wansheng's morale-boosting speech.

This is his usual style.

But Wan Sheng's reaction was unexpected. He said blankly, "Unbeaten in the season? I seem to have heard it before, but...is that something amazing?"

"When I was in charge of Manchester City, I was unbeaten in 64 rounds and we lost to Everton. I don't think that's a big deal, it's not as exciting as a Copa del Rey."

"I don't know why, you are always hyping up these meaningless things. What if you get an unbeaten season? The Spanish Football Association will not give us a penny more bonus!"

Wan Sheng shrugged and left immediately.

There was only a group of bewildered reporters left at the scene, looking left and right at each other. (To be continued ~^~)
