Volume 5 Chapter 39 A Promise

Racing Santander's Sardine Stadium has a very small capacity and can only accommodate more than 20,000 people. This is also the venue for the 36th round of La Liga and Atletico Madrid's guest.

Before the game, Barcelona defeated Levante 3-0 in an away game one day earlier, and still did not give Atletico Madrid a chance to overtake. As Guardiola said: Destiny is now firmly in our own hands.

All the pressure returned to Atletico Madrid.

But Racing Santander, which has no desires and desires, has become a nightmare for all Madrid fans today, because after the whistle blew at the end of the game, the score on the scoreboard was 2:1, with the customary home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.

Atletico Madrid lost, losing their first game of the second half of the season, but this loss has basically declared their dream of the league championship, shattered!

In the second half of the game, Racing Santander scored two goals in a row, including a penalty kick. Although Atletico Madrid launched a suicidal attack in the final stage, they still failed to score again.

Drink hate sardines.

"The league championship competition is finally over," Maria from the commentary said regretfully, "Atletico Madrid didn't make it to the end. Although it is very difficult for Barcelona to make mistakes now, it seems easy to overtake by 1 point, but this time it's down." Atletico Madrid will not be happy, and Mark will not be happy."

"I still want to applaud Atletico Madrid's performance this season," Morrison continued, "They remained unbeaten in the second half of the league, and they even won 7 consecutive league victories before this game. Brings a lot of pressure, but this year really isn't theirs yet"

Mark Qin stood with his hips crossed in this small stadium, surrounded by mostly Racing Santander fans. More than a thousand Atletico Madrid fans who were able to enter the stadium were a little sad at this time, and some were even crying.

They still fell first. At a moment that he didn't expect, they led 1:0 for more than 60 minutes, but in the last 30 minutes they first missed a penalty and then were hit with a counterattack.

Now they only maintain the hope of winning the championship in theory, but almost everyone knows that they are out of play, their season is over.

"I guess Mr. Ma is feeling a little uncomfortable now. This should be regarded as an unpopularity." Zhan Jun said in a low voice. It was almost 5 o'clock in the morning in China, but many people opened their sleepy eyes and saw it for the first time. Lonely Mark Qin.

In the past, he was the one who stood on the podium and looked down on others, especially when the championship was at the last moment, but this season's Barcelona is indeed too strong.

"I feel sorry for Mr. Ma..."

"President Ma is fine, come back next year..."

"It's really a bit unwilling to fall down at this time, and Atletico Madrid's luck is also a bit back..."

There were a lot of messages on the Internet, most of which were comforting words. After all, he has been representing Atletico Madrid for more than half a season, just like Barcelona and Real Madrid, and declared that he would fight them to the last minute. Now they have indeed overwhelmed Real Madrid. , but failed to survive Barcelona.

"It's a bit of a pity," Zhang Lu said, "but it doesn't matter. Atletico Madrid's momentum this season has been revealed, and their style of play is slowly maturing. Next season will be even stronger, and we'll start all over again."

Mark calmed down for a while, and then began to comfort his teammates everywhere on the court, especially Koke who came off the bench and Isco who was on the bench, with red eye circles.

It's not sad, it's just that after so long of hard work and squeezing out every drop of potential and physical strength in my body, it would be very sad to end in such a way.

"There is also the UEFA Cup final. This season we have done the best we can. We have no regrets. Don't be depressed, cheer up..." Mark Qin kept patting his teammates on the shoulder and repeated these words.

Just like he has been cheering up his teammates before: We must believe in miracles!

But since it is a miracle, it does not happen every year. If so, it is no longer called a miracle, but renamed invincible.

But when you look back,

This season, they have also gained a lot. When you are striving towards a supreme goal, even if you do not succeed in the end, you will let yourself complete a transformation.

This process will constantly sharpen you and make you stronger and stronger.

Ancelotti also went to the court to comfort his players. In fact, he knew in his heart that it would be too difficult to win the championship this season, and all the conditions were not met, but when it was really only one point away, no one could help it. Daydreaming, looking forward to a miracle.

Now the miracle has not happened, this is reality, and they still have to keep their feet on the ground.

"Mark, although we failed to win the championship, I am very happy to be in such a team," Sanchez and Mark Qin hugged each other, patted each other on the back, and said to him.

"Before I came, I didn't even dare to imagine that we could do so well this season. Next season is my first full season here. I believe we can make a difference."

"That's for sure," Mark Qin said with a smile, "Go and comfort your teammates, and then we'll thank the fans..."

Although the Atletico Madrid fans who came from afar were a little sad, they still gave warm applause to the players who came to thank them, because they have done a very good job this season, very good.

This is football, you can't have all the luck by yourself.

After thanking the fans, the Atletico Madrid players began to walk towards the aisle one by one. Compared with the high spirits when they came in, they seemed a bit lonely, but it also made them more mature.

When you win, it’s not big news, everyone chases after each other fiercely, but when you fall behind and lose, many people want to see how you failed, so dozens of media rushed over , crowded in the small press conference hall of the Sardineman Stadium.

"Oh", Mark Qin turned his head and joked with Ancelotti first, "I don't remember so many people coming when we won before."

"Hey", there was an awkward smile underneath, and Ancelotti also smiled and said nothing.

"I know what you are doing here today. I want to see if we were frustrated when we failed. I am sorry to disappoint you. We are doing well now," Mark Qin said, shrugging his shoulders.

"We did pay the price for our lack of experience, but I am very satisfied with my teammates and the performance this season, we surpassed Galacticos, Cosmos Barcelona did not leave us, maybe we just lacked some luck, If it weren't for the unintentional handball caused by that corner kick today, maybe everything would be hard to say."

"Now we will put all our energy into the UEFA Cup final. This year's La Liga is very intense, but it is over..."

Although they still have the possibility of winning the championship in theory, they expect Barcelona to lose a game in the last two rounds. This probability will hardly happen, because Mark Qin believes that Guardiola will not make this mistake.

"Congratulations, you can prepare well for the Champions League final", just like Guardiola would send him a text message to celebrate before, Mark Qin also congratulated him when he went back.

"Boy, don't try to fool me, there are two more rounds, you want to paralyze us, let us capsize in the gutter"

Oh, how much resentment this must be.

Mark Qin smiled and replied: "Treasure your golden years, because I will snatch all your championships next season, and there will be no left."

"roll"

...

"Marca": Atletico Madrid fell short, and there is only a theoretical possibility to win the championship. Compared with Barcelona, ​​they still lack a kind of foundation.

"Aspen": Both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are facing the same problem this season. They have changed coaches and reorganized their teams. They have launched a strong impact on Barcelona's dominance, but unfortunately, they all failed in the end. Real Madrid fell. In the Champions League, Atletico Madrid fell in the league, but Madrid will definitely be different next season!

"The Times": Mark regrets missing the La Liga title, but I believe that Atletico Madrid will be stronger next season, and Mark will return as king.

"Daily Sports Daily": This season Barcelona will complete the treble. This will be a season for Barcelona to completely stand on top of the world!

After the game, all kinds of media reports rushed to our faces, especially the Catalan media, which included Barcelona's Super Cup at the beginning of the season. One can imagine how hard they have been holding back in the past two years.

Atlético de Madrid, who returned to Mahadahonda, was warmly cheered by the fans, "come again next season", "sooner or later we will beat Barcelona" and so on.

They did not blame the team for losing the chain at the last moment, but showed more enthusiasm and louder cheers than before to support the team, which made Mark Qin feel a burst of warmth.

In addition to being a profession, football is the biggest source of motivation for them to play football. Without football, it is impossible to connect so many people together.

"Thank you lovely fans for coming to greet you, I owe you a league championship! Also, we will take home the UEFA Cup trophy!" Mark Qin immediately posted this post on his social media.

This is a promise he made.

Because they have disappointed many fans this year, including little boys like Rami, it is understandable and acceptable, but there are no surprises.

Entering the training base, Ancelotti slapped his hands before getting out of the car, and after attracting the players' attention, he said: "Forget today's game, we have another league game in three days, I will make the necessary rotation, now we need Putting all our energy into the final of the UEFA Cup, we can't do nothing this year"

In this year's UEFA Cup final, Atletico Madrid's opponent is the Portuguese giant Porto, a second-tier giant that has risen under the leadership of Mourinho, and has dominated the Portuguese Super League for the past ten years.

And their current coach is called Boas, the guy known as "Mourinho's second". This season, he coached Porto for the first time and created a myth of 36 unbeaten games, and also reached the Portuguese Cup final and the UEFA Cup final. , with great hope of winning the Triple Crown.

This is also a rising coaching star like Mourinho, and he is just 33 years old this year, and he is ridiculously young on the sidelines.

Mark Qin attaches great importance to Porto, because he vaguely remembers that this Porto is the second golden period after Mu-style Porto, and there will be many famous players in the team in the future.

For example, Falcao, Hulk, Guarin, Fernando who will go to Manchester City in the future, Portuguese midfielder Moutinho, oh, and Ronaldo who just played in the first team this season.

So sometimes it is difficult for you to tell whether the coach has made the players or the players have made the coach. If this wave of people is added together, maybe the coach is not Boas, and the results are not bad.

"I know that we lost to Manchester City in the UEFA Cup final last year. Although many people in the team including me were not here at that time," Ma Keqin stood up as the captain and said, "But we can't let the script of last year repeat itself. If we Can't even win the UEFA Cup, and can't talk about defeating Barcelona"

"Let us start with this championship and start our road to glory!"

"Mark is right." Both Fran and Aguero stood up. "Last year's loss in the UEFA Cup final has always been a regret in our hearts. This year we will not let the regret continue again!"

"Come on, haha..., win the UEFA Cup!", the car suddenly shouted...
