Chapter 226 A Kind of Self-Confidence

Two difficult games in a row, a Madrid derby and a rainy Copa del Rey.

Atletico Madrid have achieved satisfactory results.

It was a really tough game and a workout for the team, with two victories filling the team with determination.

Everyone is more motivated and more confident.

In the next league game, Atlético de Madrid hosts Vallerano.

In the La Liga last season, Vallecano ranked second in the league with 79 points and got a second direct entry to La Liga at Betis.

Vallecano's economic crisis is serious, but in order to stay in La Liga, they still introduced a large number of reinforcements in the summer. The two most famous new aids are concentrated on the striker. Tamudo has been the captain of the Spaniard for many years. Pacheco, who was born in the Barcelona youth academy, was sent to Vallecano by Liverpool.

Although Vallecano worked hard, they were only a newly-promoted horse after all, and they were considered to be the weakest among the three newly-promoted horses. At the beginning of the league, Vallecano was labeled as a 'definitely relegated'.

But in fact, Vallecano's grades are not so bad.

In the league so far, Vallecano has won 15 games, 5 draws and 2, ranking 14th in the league with 17 points, which is not directly related to 'definite relegation'.

However, Vallecano coach Sandy thought a little too much. He actually claimed before the game, "We must work hard to get points at the Calderon Stadium". Wansheng smiled and did not respond at all, and then arrived In the game, in the first half alone, Atletico Madrid scored three goals.

Under the camera lens, Sandy obviously had a dark face, probably not in a good mood.

But Atletico Madrid's goal is not over yet.

With the cheering of the fans in the audience, Atletico Madrid continued to attack. At the end of the 90 minutes, Ozil, Falcao and Wang Qiuming scored two goals each, plus Felipe's final icing on the cake, Atlético de Madrid A 7-0 slaughter was staged.

By the end of the game, Vallecano had a breakdown.

Atletico Madrid ignored what happened to Vallecano, and they celebrated the victory with excitement.

Then Atlético de Madrid welcomed Naples at home.

This is the European Championship group stage, the last game of Group A. The two teams played against each other in the last round. Naples lost 0-3 at home to Atlético Madrid. This game is related to whether they can become third in the group and win the Europa League qualification next year.

Wansheng can ignore the competition between Naples and Manchester City. Anyway, Atletico Madrid must be the first in the group.

Before Christmas, when the schedule is fierce, a game that is meaningless to the team will definitely not give all his strength. As for the sportsmanship of fair competition?

who cares!

So Atletico Madrid sent a full bench lineup. The main players in the starting lineup were only Felipe and Falcao, and even the young midfielder Saul got a chance.

Naples felt the opportunity had come.

What coach Walter Mazzari has always been worried about is that Atletico Madrid will help Manchester City to deal with Naples out of 'friendship'. European football knows that Manchester City and Atletico Madrid have a good relationship because of the Wansheng relationship.

There were also big deals between the two clubs in the summer. Atletico Madrid will try hard and beat Napoli to make Manchester City third in the group. It is still very possible.

This is not just 'friendship help', but also a very 'sportsmanship' approach. At that time, the European media will praise Atlético Madrid because they have given their best in games that have nothing to do with them.

But the point is... Bayern Munich will definitely not give it all!

The final round of Group A in the Champions League is meaningless to Atlético Madrid and Bayern Munich. The two teams must be the first and second in the group. The outcome does not matter at all.

So after seeing Atletico Madrid's full bench lineup, Walter Mazzari breathed a long sigh of relief. He felt that Napoli had hope of winning.

Although there is no hope in the Champions League group, the final round can take away the victory at the Calderon Stadium, and get third in the group to participate in the Europa League next year. The result is not bad.

Walter Mazzari was obviously careless, he misestimated the strength of Atletico Madrid's bench!

Atlético de Madrid's bench lineup... It is said to be a bench, but in fact, the strength of the bench players is very good, such as the young genius Isco in the midfield, he is considered to be the future of the Spanish midfield, and the value assessed by "France Football", Already more than 18 million euros.

Will such a talented player be weak?

The Napoli team could not find a few players more valuable than Isco.

Come and see other 'substitute' players!

Boateng is a former Manchester City player, and his transfer value in summer is also above 10 million euros. He has played several times in the league and the Champions League, and his performance is quite strong and stable. In the Madrid derby ten days ago, he also succeeded because of defending C-Ronaldo. , praised by many media.

Rafael Varane, "World Sport", "Aspen" and "Marca" all believe that Varane will become the backbone of the Spanish team's defense in the future. Everyone can see his potential. In one appearance for Atlético de Madrid, he was also quite consistent.

Varane can almost be said to be the main defender of Atlético de Madrid.

Wang Qiuming, a young Chinese striker, scored 3 goals in 6 league appearances, and scored 1 goal in 2 Champions League appearances.

The efficiency of scoring one goal in two appearances is not as high as that of first-line strikers such as Diego Costa and Falcao, but considering that he is just 18 years old and the situation of each appearance, he is undoubtedly a very good striker killer. .

The above few talented players, plus the young Saul, the veteran Ujfalusi, the two generals Felipe and Falcao, and the very stable Sergio Asenjo in front of the goal, Atletico Madrid The strength of the 'substitute lineup' is not weak at all. Compared with the main lineup, perhaps the only thing missing is stability.

Napoli caught up with the 'substitute' when they were doing well.

At the Calderon Stadium, with more than 50,000 Atlético de Madrid fans cheering and cheering, Atlético de Madrid launched an attack on Naples. Naples wanted to suppress Atlético de Madrid at the beginning. They believed that the strength of the team must be stronger than that of Atlético de Madrid's substitutes. Lineup', but after two waves of confrontation, it doesn't feel right.

They quickly shrink the line of defense!

But it's too late!

Taking advantage of the chance that Naples did not have time to retreat, Isco dashed the ball to the front of the penalty area quickly, passed the ball diagonally to Falcao, Falcao slammed his heel, and the football rushed to the left sideways.

Wang Qiuming kept up and pushed the empty door into the net!

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!"

Juan Andres excitedly shouted from the Calderon Stadium broadcast, "1-0! Wang scored the goal, and the Chinese teenager once again helped Atletico Madrid score in the Champions League! Atletico Madrid lead at home!"

"It was the wonderful cooperation of Atletico Madrid just now. Isco, Falcao and Wang, the Naples defense line was completely penetrated! Especially Falcao's back heel is extremely wonderful..."

"This is also Wang's second goal in the Champions League. In the previous game against Bayern, he scored the team's only goal. In the league recently, Wang has also performed very well. In Kano's game, he scored two goals personally, and the efficiency is still quite high."

"We can expect that this young Chinese teenager will perform better in the future and help Atletico Madrid score more goals!"

In the excited shouts of Juan Andres, Walter Mazzari's face turned a little dark. He had no idea that the opponent's bench lineup could play such a sharp offensive.

Naples is simply careless!

In fact, this is also the general idea of ​​Walter Mazzari. When he was in Italy before, his tactical preparation for the game still wanted to play a defensive counterattack, but after knowing the squad of Atletico Madrid the night before, Walter Mazzarri After changing his mind, he believed that the strength of Atletico Madrid's substitute team was definitely much worse, so he wanted the team to take the initiative to attack and actively strive for goals.

Now is the result...

Napoli's receding speed was too slow, giving Atlético Madrid the opportunity to score the ball, the score has been rewritten, and it is not easy for Naples to recover.

In the next time, Naples began to defend continuously.

The game seems to be no different from the first leg between the two teams. Atletico Madrid has been attacking and Napoli has been defending. They want to find opportunities to counterattack, but the chances are so few and it is difficult for them to seize them.

That feeling of hopelessness is a little hopeless.

It wasn't until 20 minutes into the second half that Napoli's counterattack had an effect. Taking advantage of an opportunity from Atletico Madrid to press forward, winger Ravic broke through the drop goal and scored the ball, helping Naples equalize the score.

Walter Mazari exhaled!

Finally caught up!

Although there is no go-ahead score, catching up is a good start. As long as you can catch up with the score, you can look forward to the next go-ahead! Napoli can still take three points at the Calderon Stadium!

Walter Mazzari has a good imagination, but what he is waiting for is not the goal of Napoli, but the goal of Atletico Madrid.

Just 4 minutes after Naples equalized the score, Atletico Madrid broke the Naples gate with a wave of offensive. Striker Falcao received a pass and broke directly into the Naples penalty area. Then he turned his back to the defender and used his left foot. Put the ball into the goal.

"Goal in! Falcao!"

"This is the fifth goal of a Colombian striker in the Champions League! Six games, five goals! Colombia interprets the efficiency of the'Shenfeng'!"

"This is a show of personal ability. Falcao broke into the penalty area alone. The defense of the two and the containment of the goalkeeper could not prevent him from sending the ball into the goal!"

In the shouts of Juan Andres, Walter Mazzari looked ashen and pale.

Napoli's loss, or even a draw, would mean they would end up at the bottom of the group and lose their Europa League qualification for next year.

This is a huge blow for Naples.

But what else can be done?

Watching Atlético Madrid on the field and Napoli players with little fighting spirit on the other side, Walter Mazzari felt deeply helpless.

He turned to look at the Atlético de Madrid bench.

The Chinese young man sat calmly, with a faint smile on his face, as if the game was under control, and he didn't need to care much at all.

In the past, Walter Mazzari would have thought that the other side put on such an attitude, doing so was to boost the team's confidence, or to dampen the opponent's fighting spirit.

But now, Mazzari thinks that is a kind of confidence.

A real confidence in the control of the game, an attitude of renewed trust in the team!

must admit……

"This young Chinese is really amazing..."
