Chapter 268 King's Cup Final
In the eyes of the Spanish media, Villarreal is a bit unlucky. Which opponent will they face in the last round, and they have to face the undefeated Atlético de Madrid in the 75th round of La Liga? In their current form, against Atlético Madrid, let alone winning, their chances of a draw are slim.
For the opponent's situation, Atletico Madrid does not consider it.
There are always three teams relegated in La Liga every season, no matter if the relegation is Granada CF, Vallecano or Villarreal, it has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid, and no matter how they play, always There will be a team relegated.
Since there will definitely be relegation, it's better to play as normal.
Atlético de Madrid players are very motivated. The last round of the league is their chance to show themselves to the coach, especially those half-main and half-substitute players. They are not sure whether they will play in the Champions League final, so they must work hard to win 10,000 yuan. Winning favor.
That's how the game between the two teams started.
Villarreal wanted to win and let the team try to avoid relegation, but when it came to the game, they found the gap with Atletico Madrid.
Even though it was a home game, they still couldn't play any advantage.
On the contrary, Atlético de Madrid's players are very active. They are like taking stimulants. They run hard and perform hard in the game, but in fact, this is just a round of league that doesn't matter to them.
Of course, Atletico Madrid players don't see it that way.
Although they have won the league championship, the team persisted in 75 rounds of undefeated. In the last round of the league, they also hope to continue undefeated to make the season more perfect.
So they all tried their best.
Every player is working hard, and the Atletico Madrid team played quite well. In the 27th minute, Klose, who started the game, helped the team score the first goal.
Atlético de Madrid fans cheered desperately, while the home fans fell silent.
Wansheng also applauded Klose's goal.
Diego Costa and Falcao have performed very well this season, and Wang Qiuming has gradually begun to show his strength. Klose's playing time has been limited a lot. Since March, Klose has not played for the team. After a minute, he is now playing for the team, and he can score in more than 20 minutes, which is enough to prove the extraordinary state and strength of the German veteran.
This also made Wansheng hesitant to re-sign Klose.
Soon Wansheng will not think about it. Currently, he is still leading the team to play well. As for the transfer and contract renewal, it will be considered in June.
Atletico Madrid has a goal advantage. If Villarreal wants to get points, they must take the initiative to attack, but their strength is limited, and they are a little chaotic when attacking. It is not easy to break Atlético de Madrid's goal. In 61 minutes, Kevin De Bruyne's volley again helped Atletico Madrid score a goal.
2 to 0!
The Love Song Stadium was even more silent.
Some Villarreal fans began to quietly exit, the team's performance this season broke their hearts, and they did not want to see the team relegated.
The majority of fans who remain on the pitch are hoping for a miracle.
As long as Villarreal ties the score, as long as they can get a point, the team is also hopeful to avoid relegation, but in the 84th minute, J-Rodriguez, who came off the bench, used a hanging goal to rewrite the score as 3 to 0, but also completely disheartened Villarreal fans.
The team must be relegated!
They are desperate!
In the end, Atlético de Madrid won the last round of the game 3-0 and won the league championship with an unbeaten season. It also created a 76-round unbeaten league game that the media called 'unprecedented and cannot be overtaken'. Areal will have to accept the fate of relegation.
Love Song Stadium is sad.
————
Many media are interested in Atletico Madrid continuing to win the league title with an unbeaten streak, and hope that Wansheng will talk about related things, such as how long the unbeaten Atlético de Madrid will last. The next two battles.
Wan Sheng said, "The team is focused on preparing for the final and has no time to think about other things."
"The fans want to celebrate, but for us, preparing for the final is the most important thing. After the 20th, it's time to celebrate!"
After that, Wan Sheng left the press conference scene.
All 38 rounds of the league have ended, the relegated team has been determined, and Villarreal has been relegated tragically. The Love Song Stadium is definitely not a happy place. The Atlético de Madrid team quickly left the stadium and returned to the training base.
Next Atletico Madrid started a three-day closed training.
During the closed training process, any player must remain at the training base and no interviews of any kind are allowed.
This makes the outside world know nothing about Atletico Madrid.
Three days passed quickly, and the Atlético de Madrid team reappeared in the media's attention, which was already before the Copa del Rey final.
The Copa del Rey final is here.
"Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona are not the first to meet in the Copa del Rey final. Last season, the two teams competed for the Copa del Rey, and it was Atlético de Madrid who finally won the championship!"
The Copa del Rey final last season is still fresh in my mind.
This game is almost a replica of last season. It is still Atlético Madrid and Barcelona competing for the championship. The Catalan media calls the game "reincarnation", or "the best time for Barcelona to complete revenge". These words Wan Sheng is tired of hearing it.
In fact, more bullish on Atlético de Madrid.
Although there are some unfavorable transfer news for Atletico Madrid in the media, there are more unfavorable news for Barcelona. Even their head coach Guardiola is determined to leave. No matter how Atletico Madrid changes, Wansheng will definitely not leave. , The normal transfer of a few players is not a traumatic experience for Atletico Madrid.
"For the second time in two seasons, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have played against each other in the Copa del Rey final!"
"What will be the result this time?"
Before the start of the game, many media commentators were analyzing the situation of the game. For Barcelona, this game is of great significance. a match.
Everyone wants a happy ending, and Barcelona all want to beat Atletico Madrid so coach Pep Guardiola can leave with a victory.
Wansheng thought more.
Atlético de Madrid won the league championship, and now it is the final of the Copa del Rey. Winning this championship means that the team has swept Spanish football in the past two seasons.
Now facing Barcelona, their opponents have no fighting spirit.
This is perfect!
The victory over Barcelona in this game is also beneficial to the next Champions League final.
In the starting lineup, Wansheng tends to choose players with the best physical fitness.
In the dressing room before the game, Wan Sheng also emphasized physical fitness, "In this game, our tactical focus is on running and speed! Bring up the speed, don't let the football stop, and don't let yourself stop! Pass the ball. Also be fast, let the opponent miss the opportunity, let the opponent follow our rhythm!"
When it comes to the game, every Atletico Madrid player is running constantly. These movements mobilize Barcelona and let them run with Atletico Madrid. They cannot even decide when to rest, but listen to Atletico Madrid. of.
If it's another team, run with Atletico Madrid for a while and you'll notice something is wrong.
Barcelona is different.
This may also be where they are passive in the match against Atletico Madrid. Their tactical movement is also the key point. It is normal for every player to keep running. When the attack starts, the running speed will be faster, so Barcelona Na ran with Atletico Madrid, and they didn't feel anything unusual.
But half an hour later, Barcelona still felt wrong.
They can't keep up!
Under normal game conditions, most Barcelona players can run for more than 70 minutes, but just after 30 minutes of the game, many people feel tired and their legs tremble.
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and smiled confidently.
He knew the plan had succeeded.
Barcelona's tactical foundation is also running. If they increase the speed, they can't notice it at all. They just feel that the game is very intense.
After a period of time, Atletico Madrid's physical advantage became apparent.
————
In fact, in terms of the game situation, Barcelona still has some advantages, and their strength can fully compete with Atletico Madrid.
When both teams were running, Barcelona thought they had an advantage.
The game is the rhythm that the team is familiar with!
Thirty minutes later, it was completely different. The Barcelona players began to feel a lack of physical fitness, while the opponents, Atletico Madrid players were still running.
They are gradually unable to keep up with Atletico Madrid's footsteps, and those previous advantages are quickly disappearing.
Wan Sheng smiled when he saw this scene.
Barcelona's stamina began to have problems. They couldn't run a little. Now the game is only 30 minutes. If it comes to the second half, they may have to disarm and surrender.
Next Barcelona obviously ran less.
If it is put on Real Madrid, Wansheng's 'constant running' tactics will hardly work. Barcelona is completely different. They hardly play defensive counterattacks. Even passive play, at most they only use passing. Come to have the ball, but this will be threatened by Atletico Madrid's tough full-court pressing.
After a period of time, many people found that Barcelona was obviously very passive.
Barcelona fans began to worry about the team. At the beginning of the game, they felt that there was no problem with Barcelona. Beneficial.
The Barcelona fans in the stands also began to cheer for the team, and they hoped to use the cheers to encourage the players to continue to work hard.
Hearing the cheering voice coming from his ear, Wan Sheng smiled slightly.
Cheer on?
If cheering can be useful, the game will have more fans than anyone else. Barcelona fans must have more fans than Atletico Madrid fans, but these voices can't replenish the physical fitness of Barcelona players.
If you can't replenish your physical fitness, Barcelona will have a lack of physical fitness, and you will be very passive if you can't keep up with running.
Atlético de Madrid was not in a hurry to attack. Wansheng’s requirement was to run as much as possible to consume the opponent’s physical strength in the first half. In the second half, the team’s physical strength was dominant, and it was much easier to score goals.
The camera pointed at him, and Wan Sheng was sitting on the chair, his movements leisurely and contentedly, as if victory was in sight.
The Catalan media couldn't help but said sourly, "Looking at him, it seems that Atletico Madrid is about to win, but the score is still 0-0 on the field. I don't know how he has the confidence to relax."
Other media care more about the game.
Many commentators are praising Atlético de Madrid's performance, "Their attack is as smooth as running water, and their speed is faster than running water! Or we can say, the running water at the speed of a waterfall, smooth and fast! People are delightful!"
"Barcelona has become very passive, they seem to be unable to keep up with Atletico Madrid's speed!"
As analyzed by the commentator, the Barcelona players began to feel very tired. Just now, their physical fitness was better. Now they are still running, but they are defending most of the time.
It's not a good feeling.
No player wants his team to be attacked all the time, even the defenders, and they feel tired when they have the ball, because Atletico Madrid is constantly pressing, they are always in a hurry to pass the ball, lest they make a mistake Just give your opponent a chance.
Some Barcelona players want to use their bodies to defend, but they quickly find that in physical collisions, they are often the losers.
Players on the other side, their bodies are like metal, they can't be hit at all, and they take the initiative to have physical conflicts, often taking the risk of fouling.
The game went on like this, and they felt anxious.
Anxiety is contagious. When a player is anxious, passing the ball to the opponent may make a deviation or a small error, and then the teammates will follow.
This also makes Barcelona play worse and worse.
In addition to the full-court pressing, Atletico Madrid also intends to speed up the pace of the game. Their attack speed is very fast. Often the Barcelona players have not kept up with the Atletico Madrid players who pass the ball, and they have to turn around and continue running. Otherwise, there will be a big hole in the defense.
In Barcelona, it doesn't matter if the players are in the front or the back, but the movement of the midfielders has increased significantly.
Busquets is the worst.
Busquets is the engine of the Barcelona midfield. When talking about Barcelona, more people will think of Messi, but in fact, Messi is only the most brilliant in the frontcourt. Busquets is Barcelona's tactics. core.
Busquets has big game responsibilities.
This kind of game duty also forced him to do a lot of 'blue-collar' cool defensive work.
