Chapter 260 This Is Too Unexpected!
Atletico Madrid don't want to fight Vallecano.
That's not worth it at all.
After beating Real Madrid at home and leading by 4 points in the league, Atletico Madrid has a very large advantage and can fully win the league championship more securely.
Another reason is that Atlético de Madrid’s energy should be mainly focused on the Champions League. If the competition for the Champions League is affected by the competition between the league and small clubs, the income and effort are completely disproportionate, so Wansheng considers a more secure method. Pursue victory.
In the face of Vallecano's tough fight, Atletico Madrid's tactical style of play is to delay time.
Vallecano can't be tough for the whole game, then keep passing the ball and dragging time, or in other words, drag the opponent's energy clean, Atlético de Madrid has been controlling the ball, if the opponent doesn't pay attention in the middle, they can take the opportunity to start a quick start. offensive.
This is what Atletico Madrid excels at.
If the opponent has been tough, Atletico Madrid will use the pass to delay time. The opponent cannot always be like this, and the victory is still in the hands of Atletico Madrid.
In the face of Atlético de Madrid's constant passing style, Vallecano players just felt...no way! They couldn't grab the ball at all, and even the 11 players in the team couldn't even catch the football on the field.
This is the absolute gap between the two teams on the technical level.
Atlético de Madrid can use quick passes to arbitrarily control the football. Vallecano takes the initiative to press, and also gets close to the player with the ball, but when they get close, the football is at the feet of other players. No ball.
Just like that, 20 minutes passed.
For 20 minutes, Atlético de Madrid had been in control of the ball. They had 76% of the time in possession, three times more than Vallecano. The audience only felt that the football seemed to be at the feet of Atlético Madrid all the time. Nuo couldn't get the ball at all.
The Vallecano players are also in a hurry, but they don't have a good way.
In the 23rd minute, the Vallecano players made a major mistake when defending. Midfielder Movilia did not continue to follow Raul Garcia. Raul Garcia was unguarded when he took the ball, and he went to the The front took nearly ten meters, and the subsequent pass stabbed the ball to the left penalty area line.
Isco squeezed the opponent's right back Casado to run to position, volleyed directly with one foot, and almost kicked the ball into the goal.
The football hit the post and bounced out.
The Vallecano fans at the scene took a long breath, but before they could finish their breath, they saw an Atlético Madrid player jump up and put the ball into the goal with his head!
“Goooooooooooooooool!!!”
"Diego Costa!"
"A header shot! Goalkeeper Cobeño didn't react. He probably didn't expect the opponent to continue to shoot! Atletico Madrid leads Vallecano 1-0!"
In the shouts of the commentator, the Vallecano players sighed helplessly.
They worked hard for more than 20 minutes, kept running and fighting, but they still allowed Atletico Madrid to score a goal.
They all felt helpless.
From the past game time, they have felt the absolute gap between the two teams, and it is no wonder that in the last round, the other party could win Vallecano by 7 goals, and the two sides were not at the same level.
Some Vallecano players are feeling pessimistic.
After the restart of the game, Atlético de Madrid, who had the lead, played more calmly. They kept passing the ball, keeping the ball under their feet, not giving the opponent any chance, and passing the ball tentatively when they had time. When they were free, they continued to control the ball. Some media commentators sighed and said, "Atletico Madrid's play style is very similar to Barcelona's, that is, it is constantly controlling the ball. It is estimated that Barcelona's tactical style of play is put I can also play well at Atletico..."
Of course.
Wansheng has always believed in the team's 'BT-F' system and tactics, which is a level higher than Barcelona's play style. Barcelona's tactical requirements focus on controlling and hitting the back, while Atletico Madrid requires the entire team to run. , to control the rhythm of the game. Obviously, Atletico Madrid's tactics are more difficult. If you can adapt to Atletico Madrid's tactics, it is easy to adapt to Barcelona's tactics.
Not necessarily the other way around.
It is not easy for Barcelona players to adapt to Atlético Madrid's style of play. They must first learn how to run in line with the rhythm. It is also very important to switch positions frequently with teammates according to the overall formation of the team. , especially the players in the frontcourt. The players on the wing and the middle keep moving forward, and the players in the frontcourt should also retreat appropriately to ensure that the overall formation of the team is not affected.
The 'BT-F' system of football is more complicated than Barcelona's style of play, and it is not easy for new players to adapt.
Back in the game, Atlético de Madrid used control play to make Vallecano feel very passive. They could not grab the ball quickly, and the active grabbing did not work. In fact, it means that the tactical arrangement failed. Atlético de Madrid has always controlled the ball. Coupled with a one-ball lead, they were not worried about the game, and they played more steadily. Vallecano was a little anxious, but there was no good way.
The game remained the same until the second half.
By this time, Vallecano began to worry. They were one goal behind and they had to attack, but they couldn't even grab the ball.
After 70 minutes of the game, Vallecano had to pull out of the formation and wanted to press heavily.
This is a kind of helpless move. The consequence of playing against a strong team and opening the formation is that it is easy to give the opponent a chance, but if they don’t fight, they will definitely lose. Three are also losers, they have no other choice.
In the 81st minute, Vallecano's attack almost broke the gate of Atlético de Madrid, and Wan Sheng was in a cold sweat watching from the sidelines.
Vallecano is a small team, but they are also not to be underestimated.
But this wave of their offensive gave Atletico Madrid a chance. De Gea threw the ball in his arms, then waved with one hand and handed the ball to the wing Boateng, who then passed Kevin - De Bruyne, who dribbles forward quickly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Vallecano could not return to defense, Atletico Madrid launched a quick counterattack!
Atletico Madrid's passing speed is quite fast, and Kevin De Bruyne's personal speed is also very fast, coupled with the bonus of the "quick dash" skill for the counterattack speed, he takes the ball, and the defensive players can't keep up at all, Kevin De Bruyne rushed to the center line quickly and rushed forward for more than 20 meters. When he saw the opponent's defender coming to intercept, he chose to pass the ball to the center.
J-Rodriguez followed.
J-Rodriguez did not stop the ball, but stabbed the ball to the left with one foot. Diego Costa, who was following up on the side, dashed the ball into the penalty area, and then dunked the ball to avoid the opponent and scrambled for it. After leaving a space for himself, Costa waved his foot and volleyed directly!
"Costa-!!"
In the face of such a close-range volley, Vallecano goalkeeper Cobeño didn't even make a move, just turned his head and watched the football fly into the goal.
"2 to 0!"
This is also the final score.
Atlético de Madrid showed great strength away from home and won without suspense against Vallecano, and they also took one step closer to the league title.
In fact, in the 34th round of La Liga, the match between Atletico Madrid and Vallecano is not the focus. Although Atletico Madrid ranks first in the league, it can play against a small club to avoid relegation, but it cannot compete with Real Madrid and Valencia. Battle comparable.
This is a crucial battle.
Since the game time is an hour later, the reporter who interviewed the Atlético de Madrid game had time to pay attention to the Real Madrid game.
Just when the Atlético de Madrid team returned to Madrid by bus, the game between Real Madrid and Valencia was over. At that time, Wansheng was talking to Diamares, talking about the club's youth training investment in the summer, when he heard The rear seats cheered.
Just listen to Isco shouting, "Joder (Spanish scolding)! We must be the champions!"
Others followed suit.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What are you shouting?"
Wan Sheng stood up and asked a question, and he heard a series of answers. He immediately laughed, and then walked over and asked Isco to amplify his voice.
Real Madrid draw!
At the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid drew 0-0 with Valencia, and the difference with Atletico Madrid widened to 6 points.
With only 4 rounds left in the league, the huge gap between the two games makes it almost impossible for them to catch up!
"Real Madrid was very affected by the derby, they were not in shape at all..."
"...29 shots in the whole game, but not a single goal in exchange. Instead, the opponent Valencia hit the post twice!"
"After this game, Real Madrid is 6 points behind, it is almost impossible for them to catch up with Atletico Madrid, who are currently in a state of greatness, and their schedule is also very unfavorable, because in the next round, they have to play the Spanish derby, maybe we can go ahead Declaring Atletico the title..."
Hearing what the radio commentator said, Wan Sheng also clenched his fists and grinned.
This is so unexpected!
He originally thought that it would take two more rounds to decide the championship, but he did not expect Real Madrid to make mistakes so quickly. A draw with Valencia almost represented a failure, which was equivalent to losing the league championship ahead of schedule.
Real Madrid's troubles don't stop there.
"After this game, Real Madrid is only 1 point ahead of Barcelona. They need to work hard for the second place in the league. The next round is Barcelona's chance. Whether Real Madrid can keep the second place in the league becomes a question..."
Two hours after the game, in an online survey conducted by Marca newspaper, 95 percent thought Atlético Madrid would win the title and 76 percent of those who voted believed that Barcelo would finish second in the league. , only 2% support Real Madrid to win the championship, and only 23% support them to get second in the league.
Considering that Real Madrid is still two points ahead of Barcelona, the result of this vote is a bit strange, and it also represents the pessimism of fans about the Real Madrid league.
Atletico Madrid has become the winning side, and Valencia has helped them a lot. The league opened a 6-point gap between Real Madrid and the whole team can breathe a sigh of relief.
Some Atlético de Madrid fans couldn't help but start celebrating the league title.
Many of them are specially made for Real Madrid fans. In the past, Real Madrid fans celebrated the championship in advance. These two seasons are finally their turn.
————
After the 34th round of the league, the Atlético de Madrid was in great shape, but some media still hope to get negative news from Atlético de Madrid.
Corina-Paco is one of them.
The next day, Collina Paco got some unexpected news through the channel, it was about Atletico Madrid goalkeeper De Gea, De Gea's agent has pressured Atlético de Madrid that he intends to leave Madrid.
This news is amazing!
Corina Paco did not expect that he would have such an unexpected harvest. For the Spanish media and fans, the news of De Gea is more important than Falcao, who is a big star, but Colombian , De Gea is a native Spaniard, or a talented goalkeeper trained by Atletico Madrid's youth training, and is very hopeful to become Casillas' successor.
De Gea to leave Atletico Madrid?
Incredible!
When he heard the news, Corina Paco didn't believe it at all. Even if he hoped to get negative news from Atlético de Madrid, the news was a bit 'too fake', right? But thinking about it carefully, he thinks it is very likely. Since De Gea was injured in the middle of the season, he has not played for more than a dozen games in a row, and Sergio Asenjo, who replaced him, has performed quite well.
Maybe because of competition?
Corina Paco guessed a little.
Just when Collina Paco was thinking about how to report on De Gea, he did not expect to interview Falcao's agent-Mendez in the afternoon.
Collina-Paco met Mendez on the corner of the street. With the eyes of a professional reporter, he spotted Mendez at a glance. After that, he tried to interview, but Mendez accepted it directly.
The two chatted for a while in a cafe.
When Collina Paco walked out of the cafe, he couldn't hide his excitement. Just now, he got first-hand information from Mendes, which was the news about Falcao's transfer.
Atlético de Madrid have been trying to keep Falcao, but they have not shown any sincerity, and the negotiations between the two sides have broken up.
Collina Paco can't wait to release the news to see the effect.
He wants to see the reaction of Atlético de Madrid, especially their head coach, the Chinese, Falcao is the most efficient team on the front line and the player with the most goals in the Champions League. Now Atlético de Madrid is fighting for In the Champions League, if Falcao, who scored the most goals in the Champions League, suddenly announced that he would leave at the end of the season, it would definitely have a great impact on Atletico Madrid.
Corina-Paco was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He wrote the press release all night and read it several times before he was satisfied.
After that, the manuscript was not completed until dawn.
During the period, Collina-Paco smoked a full two packs of cigarettes and drank an unknown number of cups of coffee. In the morning, he sent the manuscript to his editor.
After finally completing the mission, Corina-Paco climbed into bed.
