Chapter 262 Learn From Others, Grow White Hair!
The world is watching Atlético de Madrid.
The focus of the public's attention is the results of Atlético de Madrid, as well as various news inside and outside the Madrid Arena. Of course, the summer transfer is the focus. Falcao is the object of important news reports. Falcao's agent Mendes I talked about a few clubs interested in Falcao, such as Monaco, Manchester United and, of course, Real Madrid.
"I personally don't object to Radamel going to the Bernabeu, but Atletico Madrid probably won't agree." This is Mendes' attitude towards Falcao's transfer.
So Real Madrid has also been included in the clubs that may introduce Falcao.
Of course, Atletico Madrid will not sell players to rivals in the same city. An hour after Mendes was interviewed, Atletico Madrid's press officer said with certainty, "Atletico Madrid will not sell players to Real Madrid! This is our principle! "
Afterwards, Atletico Madrid CEO Jr. Hill said, "Falcao is not for sale by the club."
Little Hill is also a figure at the center of public opinion. He is likely to take over the chairmanship of the Spanish Football League in June. Many people think that Little Hill’s words still carry a certain amount of weight. Other high-level Atlético de Madrid officials said nothing, but it does not prevent the European giants from arguing with France. Falcao's interest, the real Falcao battle has kicked off.
Any big club understands that it takes more than just a high transfer fee to buy Falcao.
Falcao is no longer the kind of player that money can buy, he needs a good football environment, he needs good treatment, and the transfer also needs the approval of Atletico Madrid, just like Real Madrid, although they are very rich, enough Bought all kinds of stars, but they were listed last in the 'clubs that may introduce Falcao' at the beginning, because they are the rivals of Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid is unlikely to sell the stars to the rivals of the same city.
To compete for Falcao, many factors are needed.
Falcao’s manager, Mendez, was even busier. He began to receive calls from various club executives or head coaches. They all wanted to play the family card, or they directly showed their advantages to attract Falcao and let him Make choices that benefit you.
These did not affect Atletico Madrid's progress.
On April 20, in the 35th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid beat Espanyol 3-1 at home. In the game, Falcao came off the bench in the second half and did not bring any goals to the team.
Of the three goals, two were scored by midfielders, and the other belonged to defender Godin. In the last corner kick, Godin used a header to help the team score the third goal.
"It can be seen from the game that Atletico Madrid's goals do not rely too much on the striker, which can explain why Atletico Madrid do not seem to try to retain Falcao, they do not need a strong center, but they have two excellent Even if you sell one center forward, it will not affect the strength of the team."
"Aspen" analysis said.
Recently, the topic of Falcao's transfer has made Atletico Madrid's support media very passive. On the one hand, they don't want to see the team's stars being sold. On the other hand, they can't blame it. After all Atlético de Madrid have been doing well and they can't blame the team.
After this league game, they have a reasonable explanation.
Atletico Madrid's goals do not depend on strikers, so it is understandable that the team sold Falcao.
"...What's more, Atletico Madrid has a tradition of selling core forwards! From Torres to Aguero, it turns out that even if Atletico Madrid sells core forwards, they can still cultivate the next outstanding forward! This is Atletico Madrid, youth training success, so they don't depend on any player."
The media headed by "Aspen" reported on Atlético de Madrid's transfer comments, which somewhat reduced the pressure of public opinion on the club, and also appeased the hearts of Atlético de Madrid fans.
However, this round of La Liga, of course, the most attention is the”Spanish national derby”, that is, the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
At Camp Nou, Barcelona lost 2-1 at home to Real Madrid.
The results of the game were somewhat unexpected.
It was Real Madrid's first 90-minute win over Barcelona in four years and the first win at Camp Nou in Jose Mourinho's career.
This may be the dullest Clasico since Mourinho took charge of Real Madrid. Neither side was able to create too many scoring opportunities, Real Madrid still put out an iron barrel, and Barcelona had nothing to do.
There was no controversy about the referee Marionko's penalty. What's even more incredible is that there was almost no conflict between the players of the two teams!
"This is the most harmonious derby!" "Marca" said.
Since Mourinho coached Real Madrid, the national derby has been hot and controversial. After Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0 in the first leg of the league last season, Ramos beat Xavi angrily and the Champions League first In the round, Pepe's kick against Alves was fouled, Higuain's invalid goal in the second round, the chaos after the Spanish Super Cup this season, Villa slapped Khedira, Mourinho pointed La Nova, Pepe maliciously trampled on Messi in the Spanish King's Cup, etc. There are too many stories in the national derby, and too many dissonances broke out, so that it is a clean national derby. When they appeared in front of them, many people felt that something was missing.
But in fact, this is also normal.
Both teams have no hope of competing for the league title, so what are they trying to do? And both teams have to play the Champions League second-leg final four days later.
Both sides are connected by fate.
Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid 1-3 in the first leg, and Barcelona lost to Chelsea 0-1.
At this critical point in time, both Mourinho and Guardiola must control the game. In fact, even if they lose, it doesn't matter. Anyway, there is not much difference between the second and third in the league.
The Champions League is different. The second leg directly decides the outcome, and if you enter the final, you can win the championship.
Whether for Real Madrid or Barcelona, they are almost certain that they will not be able to win the league title, so if they can win the Champions League, it is also a completely acceptable result.
The result of the Spanish national derby makes Wansheng somewhat regretful.
If Real Madrid lose again, Atletico Madrid's league title will be smoother, and they don't even have to think about the league at all, just concentrate on preparing for the Champions League.
One more round is needed now.
Soon the second leg of the Champions League semi-final came, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Atlético de Madrid has a two-goal advantage, and the team is still very relaxed mentally, but it cannot be said that Real Madrid has no chance. They have so many stars and talents like C-Ronaldo. If they can play well, 90 Two goals per minute is not an absolute difference.
Real Madrid is ready to fight.
Mourinho appeared to be very low-key before the game. Many media analysts said that the Portuguese "hold a breath and want to defeat Wansheng".
Wansheng and Atlético de Madrid are also very low-key. No player talked about the outcome of the game before the game. In the interview, they just said, "We will try our best", "We are confident" and so on. Before the game, in the locker room Wan Sheng encouraged the team to say, "At the beginning of the season, I thought about winning the Champions League, but it was a bit of a fantasy, probably many of you didn't think about it or even dared to think about it. The goal of the team is to win the championship, you must feel very funny, no one outside is now, but now we have come this far!"
"You have all seen the voices outside, some media keep collecting negative news about us, such as the player so-and-so is going to transfer, the so-and-so player must leave, etc., but to be honest, I'm still not sure who among you is Will leave, who will stay, who knows what will happen in the future? But we must fight for now!"
Wan Sheng's tone became serious, "No matter what any of you think, whether you stay or leave, you must work hard to perform. You are professional players. Only with excellent performance and honor can you become more famous. Big, worth more, get a bigger contract! The game is for the team and for yourself!"
"For all of us, the Champions League has only just begun! The semi-finals, the final!"
"We still have two games, this is the first game, I hope we can play the second game, go to the Allianz Arena, we will have hundreds of millions of spectators, hundreds, thousands of media reports, each of you An individual's name will be known to the whole world, that's the real big scene and big game! Do you understand!"
"Now! Do you know what to do in the game?"
————
Wan Sheng's speech in the locker room made everyone's blood boil.
In the Atlético de Madrid team, there are indeed a few players who plan to leave. They have separated their minds to other places, but after hearing these words, they become high-spirited again!
The Champions League final is the big game!
Hundreds of millions of viewers!
Hundreds of media outlets!
Live in countless countries!
As long as you can participate in the Champions League final, your personal worth will double, and it will not be a problem to get a big contract in the future. That kind of scene is what everyone yearns for.
Before that, they must play this game well!
Real Madrid players have a lot of fighting spirit. In recent years, they also reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time. However, facing Atletico Madrid, their game and mentality are passive, but their overall strength is indeed very good. Atletico Madrid has been very good from the beginning. A quick pass away took control, but Real Madrid scored the first goal.
That was a wonderful direct pass from Di Maria!
After the transfer from Benfica to Real Madrid, Di Maria's performance has been gradually improving. He made 33 appearances in the first season, which proves that Mourinho attaches great importance to him. Due to injuries this season, Di Maria's three competitions only 25 appearances, but every one of them has been pretty good.
This straight pass also showed Di Maria's superb skills. In the face of Morris' defense, Di Maria was very stable. He took the ball slowly, and after seeing his teammates run to the position, he made a move. The fake action of crossing on the left side suddenly shook his ankle and kicked the ball to the right penalty area line, making Morris unable to react.
C-Ronaldo on that side followed with a direct shot and kicked the ball into the Atletico Madrid goal!
2 to 3!
When C-Ronaldo kicked the ball into Atlético de Madrid, the Bernabeu was boiling, Real Madrid fans saw hope of winning the game, their gap was already small - just one more goal, they can rely on away goals advantage , eliminated Atletico Madrid and entered the Champions League final!
Many commentators are also excited to report the goal--
"C-Ro! C-Ro! He helped Real Madrid recover a goal! A wonderful volley!"
"Gooooool! C-Roman! His shot is perfect!"
"This goal is due to Di Maria. The Argentine wing's passing is at its peak. C-Roman can easily complete the shot in the most suitable position without any adjustment at all!"
"2 to 3, Real Madrid is only one goal away!"
"..."
Seeing C-Ronaldo's goal, Wan Sheng also frowned.
From this goal, he saw the danger. Real Madrid's style of play is very simple, that is, defensive counterattack. The only difference is that their counterattack and advance kick are very open, and all the players in the midfield and frontcourt are involved in the attack. .
This attack is very similar to the goals of Atlético de Madrid.
In the attack just now, Real Madrid's entire formation moved forward, desperate to score goals, and their retreat speed was also very fast. Without noticing, the frontcourt players all ran to the backcourt.
Wan Sheng couldn't help but look at the Real Madrid coaching bench, and Mourinho happened to look over, the two looked at each other, Wan Sheng muttered fiercely, "Learn from others, long white hair! Walking with others is a small thing. dog!"
Mourinho didn't know what Wan Sheng was talking about, but he knew it was definitely not a good word.
In fact, Wan Sheng was not in a hurry. Knowing the adjustment made by the other party, it was much easier to deal with it.
Mourinho, referring to his team's style of play, arranged such a 'semi-offensive defensive counterattack', which is undoubtedly a tactical gamble. Such a style of play is very physically consuming and requires very high requirements for players' running and coordination. , Real Madrid certainly does not have these conditions, their offense is very messy, most of the time it depends on the individual performance of the players, and they can't last for too long, because most of the players' physical fitness can't support it at all.
Faced with such a half-hearted style of play, the team just needs to shrink the defense line.
Since Real Madrid does not take the initiative to attack and always finds opportunities to counterattack aggressively, then we will not attack, anyway, it is the Bernabeu Stadium, and there is still a goal lead, so let's just waste time!
