Chapter 211 Curse Capello
Of course, "Marca" will not mention Atletico Madrid, they don't want to be in a bad mood because of Atletico Madrid.
In fact, Atletico Madrid's league scoring efficiency is indeed not as good as that of Real Madrid. In the past 11 rounds, Atletico Madrid scored 26 goals, 13 fewer than Real Madrid, but in the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid scored 4 Scored 10 goals, the same efficiency as Real Madrid.
"Aspen" believes that Atletico Madrid is more stable, but it is indeed worse than Real Madrid in terms of efficiency.
Real Madrid, led by Mourinho, has really exploded this season.
Real Madrid's game has attracted much attention, not only because of the score, but also because of the time adjustment of the Spanish Football Association.
Real Madrid's home game against Osasuna was moved forward to 7 pm Beijing time (12 noon local time) on the 6th. This is an adjustment made by La Liga to cater to Asian fans. This is the first time in the history of Real Madrid's first team. The official game will be played at home at noon.
This is the 'Asian time' set by La Liga.
The success of the Premier League in Asia makes La Liga the envy of La Liga. A large part of the reason is that it tries to cater to Asian audiences when it starts. The popularity of the Premier League in Asia is far greater than that of other leagues.
Last season, the Premier League's TV broadcast revenue in Asia was as high as 1.15 billion euros, while La Liga's broadcast revenue in Asia did not even catch up with the Bundesliga.
To this end, the Spanish Football Association deliberately set "Asian time" this season, and Real Madrid played in this time period for the first time.
"The schedule change will indeed make local fans make sacrifices, but everyone should understand that this is our way of seeking new income, and the fans are making sacrifices for the best interests." Speaking of the schedule change, the president of the Spanish Professional Players League Stia Saran said.
Astia Saran also said that Spain has encountered an economic crisis that has affected various clubs. The reason why La Liga has adjusted its schedule this season is to get more benefits from overseas markets such as China.
According to many media analysis, this adjustment is related to the success of Atletico Madrid.
This season, Central TV bought the broadcast rights of Atlético de Madrid's home games. According to Chinese domestic media statistics, so far, each Atlético de Madrid game has been watched by more than 30 million Chinese viewers on average.
This number is quite staggering!
Compared to China's population of 1.3 billion, 30 million is not a lot, and there are only three people with 100 talents. However, you must know that La Liga is played in 'Spanish football time', and 'Spanish football time' is worth 6 pm. From 9:00 to 9:00, there is an 8-hour time difference between Europe and China. In other words, every Atlético de Madrid league is broadcast live after 2:00 pm.
Most of the people are resting during this time.
After 12 p.m., 30 million viewers can still watch the live broadcast of Atlético de Madrid, which is quite an incredible number.
So the Spanish Football Association also decided to try to adjust the time of a game to cater to the Asian region, mainly the time of Chinese audiences. The match time between Real Madrid and Osasuna was adjusted accordingly. Statistics show that 55 million Chinese fans watched the live broadcast.
In fact, Real Madrid President Florentino has long said: "In the new league season, Real Madrid's games will be played at 7 p.m. Beijing time in advance." Real Madrid coach Mourinho also supports the team's noon game, " From what I've experienced in England, it's a positive for teams to kick off at 12 noon after DST ends, because both fans and players will have more time to spend with their families, especially changing the time, maybe in this Winter will give our players a warmer time to play."
Although the Bernabeu Stadium, which can seat more than 70,000 people, is usually full due to the change of the game time, only nearly 50,000 fans are attracted to watch the game, but the data from the field shows that the La Liga executives are more satisfied.
Statistics show that at least 250 million fans around the world watched the live broadcast of the battle between Real Madrid and Osasuna. Although there are only a few local sports stations in China, more than 55 million fans watched the live broadcast.
The success of this live broadcast will affect the time adjustment of the next game. Spanish football already has plans to start the 'Madrid Derby' and the 'Spanish National Derby' ahead of schedule.
Spain's "Marca", "Aspen" and other media have speculated that the next step in La Liga is to adjust the match time of the "Madrid Derby" and "Spanish National Derby" to 12 noon.
In fact, Atlético de Madrid has received news that the start time of the 'Madrid Derby' in the 14th round of the league has been adjusted to 12 noon, which is also expected.
Atlético de Madrid will naturally not object to this kind of thing that is beneficial to the promotion of the club.
But to be precise, adjusting the game time is not a good thing. For example, the attendance rate of the game will be affected. For the game between Real Madrid and Osasuna, only 50,000 fans watched, 20,000 less than normal.
Spanish fans are accustomed to watching football at night, and suddenly adjust the time to noon, some fans are not used to it.
"According to the habit, at noon on the weekend, I will get up to eat first, then watch the bullfight, and watch football at night..."
A Madrid fan said in an interview.
The pace of life of Spaniards is very slow. Usually 10 am to 2 pm is the first half-day work time for Spaniards, 2 pm to 4 pm is the lunch break, get off work around 7 pm, and nightlife is generally after 9 pm. start. Therefore, most of La Liga are arranged in the evening.
This may be the reason why it is more difficult for La Liga to make adjustments than for the Premier League. They cannot greatly affect the time of domestic fans in order to cater to foreign markets.
For a single club, it is still beneficial to develop foreign markets. After all, the 'bad guys' have already been done by the Spanish Football Association. The game time is arranged by the Spanish Football Association. They can put the responsibility on the Spanish Football Association, and then openly adjust the time. To 'Asian time', so as to cater to the Asian football market, increase the team's popularity overseas, and try to sell the team's broadcast fees as much as possible. After all, the reduced ticket revenue is not as good as a fraction of the TV broadcast fee. Which club has an idea.
Atlético de Madrid is still happy to see some important games adjusted to noon, especially since they have sold their TV rights in Asia alone, Atlético de Madrid has an advantage over other La Liga teams.
As long as he can perform well in the derby with Real Madrid, the ratings of other games can also improve a lot.
This is very beneficial to the development of Atlético de Madrid.

After the 13th round of the league, it is the international break, which is still a headache.
On this international match day, Atlético de Madrid's "international call-up" has changed. Morris, who had not been included in the national team list before, re-entered the England team's squad by relying on his outstanding performance in the league and the Champions League.
Affected by the hosting of the Olympic Games next year, the national Olympic teams of various countries have begun to get busy. They have to prepare for training and competitions in preparation for the London Olympic Games next year.
Isco was selected for the Spanish Olympic team. De Gea was unwilling to replace Casillas in the national team. Seeing the call-up of the Spanish Olympic team, he also chose to enter the national Olympic team. He will undoubtedly become the Spanish Olympic team. The team's main goalkeeper, in addition, Rafael Varane was also selected for the French Olympic team, in order to prepare for the Olympic Games to participate in training games.
This is just the beginning.
The previous games of the national Olympic teams of various countries are generally completed by young players from various countries. When it comes to training for the Olympic Games, most of the national team players who meet the age requirements will enter the national Olympic team to represent their own national Olympic team. Team for the Olympics. According to the regulations of the Olympic Games, each team will also be allowed to have 3 over-age players. In other words, over-age international players with prestige in China may also enter the Olympic team to participate in the Olympic Games.
Although many countries do not pay attention to the Olympic competition, the Olympic competition is actually worthy of the "World Youth Championship", and some national football associations will still strive for it.
The international competition day in November was a bit long, and lasted for ten days. During the ten days, Wansheng also gave the others three days off.
Three days later, players who did not enter the national team returned to the training ground.
Wan Sheng looked at the empty training ground, with half of the players in the lineup missing, he sighed bitterly, waved his hand, and instructed Diamares, "Let's do recovery training and personal training in the next two days! You don't need to have any Make progress, just stay in shape.”
Wan Sheng had a headache and couldn't even imagine how the lineup would be arranged in the future.
The international break has a huge impact.
So many players go to the national team for training and competitions. After returning to the team, it is not easy to maintain the state. At that time, many people will have to rest for a round, but Atletico Madrid will soon face the Champions League with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Intercity derby in Madrid.
It is good to say that the Champions League with Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid has already qualified for the group stage, and the outcome does not matter at all, but in the same-city derby with Real Madrid, we must do our best to win.
This game is not only a city derby, but also a competition for the top spot in the league!
This season's Real Madrid is quite good. Mourinho's second season as coach has stabilized Real Madrid's performance. When the stars in various positions break out, Real Madrid will become very scary.
After a season, Atletico Madrid's strength has also improved a lot, but there is no sure victory in any game, let alone an opponent like Real Madrid.
To play this game well, you must win!

The international break brings more than just an impact on the player's condition, but also... injuries!
Morris is injured!
In a game with Poland, Maurice was injured. Wansheng was not worried about Maurice, because Capello didn't seem to like Maurice. Unexpectedly, Gerrard was injured and could not play. , England midfielder needs a pillar, so Morris started the game.
Morris didn't have to play the full game, because the England team participated in two consecutive games, the previous one and Scotland, he had already played the full game. However, England and Poland played very dangerously, and in the end he stayed on the field, while the opponent, the Polish team, played very fiercely, and the competition and confrontation on the field were very fierce. .
A 34-year-old veteran, no matter how good his physical condition is, the injury will directly affect the lifespan of his future career. After receiving the news, Wan Sheng immediately called to inquire about the injury.
Morris told Wan Sheng that he was fine.
Wan Sheng took a deep breath and felt very angry at the same time. It is normal for players to participate in national team games, but Maurice is 34 years old. Capello also let him start two consecutive games and play the whole game. The energy will definitely not be able to keep up. If the average 34-year-old old player, it would be good to play once.
Maurice's importance to Atletico Madrid is unquestionable.
In the Atlético de Madrid club, Wansheng has to check Morris's state carefully. Before every game, he will do this before he can consider starting Morris. He is very afraid that Morris is suddenly injured, which will make him The team is bad.
Unexpectedly, the players who I take good care of will be treated 'roughly' by Capello!
Wansheng cannot tolerate this kind of thing!
If Capello is not taught a lesson, he will not be able to hold his breath, nor will he be able to suppress those national team coaches who are just around the corner!
Atlético de Madrid has too many national team players, there are already quite a few now, and there will definitely be more in the future. As a club head coach, you have to be on the same page as the national team head coach, so that they will use their own players in the future. Be careful!
Just after the England team's game ended, Wan Sheng made some fierce remarks on his Weibo and Facebook--
"Capello? That's an idiot! He doesn't treat players like people! Morris is 34! 34! A 34-year-old who deserves to be taken care of, not 'drained' his athleticism Starting two games in a row, or as the core of the team's midfield? What the hell is he thinking! Does England have no players to play?"
"He might say, England and Poland played fiercely? I watched the game, it was funny! The dignified 'Great England', sent all the main force, used all his strength, and even drew with Poland at home, Morris It's almost the same as losing! I don't even know how Capello has led the team in recent years! Let me evaluate this England team, there is only one word - ridiculous!"
Wansheng has a very high level of attention on Facebook, with more than 20 million netizens in Europe, and even more popular on Weibo in China, with more than 30 million followers. Many media also pay attention directly. They can learn from Wansheng's daily words. , find a lot of news directly as reports.
So Wansheng's remarks quickly appeared in the mainstream media.
This matter aroused everyone's interest. (To be continued ~^~)
