Chapter 147 The Big Fight Begins, Atletico Madrid Comes Out with a Machete [Please Subscribe! ]

The real brave will not fear the dangers and will steadily move forward towards the goal they are aiming for, with a heart as firm as a rock.

The braver ones will never think of retreating when facing a stronger opponent than themselves, and they will fight to the end.

Dortmund was such a braver team today, and their spirit deserves the hype and praise of the German media after the game.

After being nearly killed by Li Ang, Klopp stood on the sidelines and fought with his disciples until the referee blew the whistle.

Reus's physical strength was basically exhausted.

When the whistle sounded, his tense spirit relaxed, and his forward steps suddenly became unstable.

Li Ang caught him in his own half.

His hands were steady, and he patted the opponent's wet head by the way.

"You played very well today, Marco, you can relax now."

Fluent German came out of Leon's mouth, almost making Reus, who fell into his arms, jump away in surprise.

"Have you lived in Germany, Leon?"

"No, the last time I played against Muller, I tried to communicate with him, but he ignored me, so I taught myself German after I went back~"

Leon made up a reason, and when he saw Lewandowski coming over to check the situation, he handed Reus over to him directly.

Dortmund fans did not rush to leave the field, they were sad about the result of the final 1-2 loss to Real Madrid.

But when they saw the Dortmund players who had fought to exhaustion on the field, they suddenly felt proud again!

Sincere pride!

Last season, after returning to the Champions League after many years, they were ambitious but eventually suffered the bitter fruit of being eliminated from the Champions League group stage.

Still the last team was eliminated, and they didn't even have the chance to play in the Europa League.

Compared with those teams that have played in the Champions League for many years, they really lacked experience in the Champions League last year, and their performance was too immature.

The record of one win, one draw and four losses hurt the hearts of every Dortmund fan.

This is an expensive tuition fee, the price they must pay to return to Europe.

But after one season, they have been able to fight back and forth with the defending champions of the Champions League, and even almost tied the opponent at home!

As a young team in the Champions League, after a rookie season, they can play such a performance. Dortmund fans have enough reasons to be proud of their team, their coach and players!

A warm applause first sounded from the South Stand of Westfalen.

Then it was the East and West Stands, the North Stand, and finally spread to the entire Westfalen Stadium!

Dortmund's old captain Kyle walked onto the court at this time, encouraging his teammates and his little brothers.

The rest of the young Dortmund players also gritted their teeth and raised their heads, clapping their tired chests to express their gratitude to their fans!

Klopp's eyes no longer had the pain of defeat.

He stood upright on the sidelines, patting the club badge on his chest like a winner, thanking the fans.

Karanka looked at the scene in front of him and felt a double shock both physically and psychologically.

After a while, he spoke to Mourinho seriously.

"If this team hadn't met us before the final, they would have become our biggest trouble in defending the title this season!"

Mourinho's eyes were solemn, and he wanted to nod in agreement subconsciously.

But he suddenly remembered the Bayern Munich team that had introduced Martinez and had completed its defensive evolution.

Is Dortmund now really stronger than Bayern Munich?

If he remembered correctly, Schalke 04, which defeated Dortmund in the last round of the Bundesliga, was beaten without any chance to fight back against Bayern.

A big question mark appeared in Mourinho's mind.

The joy of three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage was diluted by such a comparison of strength.

He took a last look at Westfalen, who was soaring into the sky, and shook hands with Klopp before walking into the player tunnel.

After thanking their fans, the Real Madrid players on the field returned to the locker room neatly.

Li Ang had originally wanted to talk to Gotze, but now he had given up the idea.

"Goodbye, Bernabeu."

After muttering silently in his heart, Li Ang and his teammates walked away with victory.

They didn't need to think too far ahead like their own head coach.

It's time to enjoy the fruits of victory in the first stage of the Champions League group stage.

※※※

In the last round of the first stage of the group stage, Real Madrid played harder than expected.

Dortmund seemed to have played well after the first two group matches, and it can be said that they lost with honor.

But the morning after the end of this round of the Champions League group stage, neither Real Madrid nor Dortmund caused the biggest wave of public opinion.

Because just when the two teams were fighting last night, Ajax next door was upset and beat Manchester City 4-2!

Such a result triggered a passionate discussion among fans from all walks of life. The reversal was full, and the teams at the bottom of Group D really had to prepare for a big fight!

Real Madrid is currently strong with three consecutive wins, ranking first in Group D with nine points, and Dortmund has one win, one draw and one loss, ranking second in Group D with four points.

Ajax ranks third with three points, and the worst Manchester City has two losses and one draw, and now has only one point at the bottom.

Ajax fans successfully did sit-ups, and after defeating Manchester City, there was no shortage of fans cheering in surprise.

They are still alive, and there is even hope of qualifying for the Champions League group stage!

Manchester City, which was previously highly expected by the British media, may not even be able to reach the top 8, let alone the top 16 of the Champions League.

As one of the Premier League's cards in this year's Champions League, even if they were assigned to the death group, it is really unacceptable to be at the bottom.

Many Manchester City fans are already mentally exploded.

From confidently winning Ajax and surpassing Dortmund to rank second in the group to being beaten and desperate to be at the bottom.

Their mentality has undergone such a drastic change in one night.

Forget about ambitions now, let's try to beat Ajax in the next round and keep the hope of qualifying!

While the British media are wailing about Manchester City's situation, the Spanish media are making a big fanfare to promote the outstanding performance of the four La Liga teams in the Champions League this year!

Real Madrid and Malaga both won three consecutive games in the first stage of the group stage!

After losing to Bayern in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Valencia did not show mercy against Lille and BATE Borisov and won two consecutive victories.

And at present, because of the advantage of goal difference, they have surpassed Bayern and ranked first in Group F!

All four La Liga teams are at the top of their respective groups. It's no wonder that the Spanish media are so confident after the first stage of the group stage.

Of course, the Spanish media has once again stepped up its publicity and praise for Real Madrid, which has fought the most tough battles and achieved the most convincing results.

This kind of publicity has a bit of the flavor of cooperating with the La Liga and UEFA to build momentum.

In the past few seasons, it was Barcelona that enjoyed such public opinion treatment.

It's a pity that Barcelona didn't seize the opportunity to defend the Champions League at that time, otherwise their Dream Three Dynasty would be even more powerful and terrifying.

As the current La Liga team, Real Madrid's revival and rise is still in the interests of La Liga and UEFA.

In the eyes of the two major interest groups, whether it's Barcelona or Real Madrid, whoever is stronger and wins, they will support.

The reason is simple.

However, Real Madrid players, who have suffered from unfavorable public opinion in the previous few seasons, are basically immune to the goodwill of public opinion.

Every Real Madrid player knows how they won the championship last season.

Every truth Mourinho said was unpleasant, but he was right.

Don't pay too much attention to what the media said during the season, it will only affect their own preparations.

The winner takes all, and the Real Madrid players who have experienced this kind of ecstasy are not slacking off.

They want to experience the taste of winning the final victory a few more times!

This season is still early.

Continue to adjust the state step by step and achieve their performance goals at each stage. This is more important than anything else.

And with the kings of roll like Li Ang and C Ronaldo in the team, the other Real Madrid stars who have aspirations can't relax even if they want to.

The two of them had only rested for half a day in Madrid, and they chatted in the group to make an appointment to go to the base for recovery training in advance.

As a result, the next morning, the players of Real Madrid's first team who had just played the game basically arrived at the training base in advance.

This scene shocked Mourinho!

Fortunately, none of the Real Madrid players who had just finished the Champions League game were so stubborn as to follow Li Ang and C Roma and immediately start training.

Most of them came to the training base in advance for physical examinations and physical therapy recovery.

So while the training ground was busy, the physical therapy area of ​​Valdebebas was also busy.

Such a proactive recovery attitude made Karanka and Mourinho very happy.

The players are motivated, and they certainly won't be idle.

Before the next Champions League group match, Real Madrid will play two rounds of league games and one round of the King's Cup in La Liga.

Plus the Champions League group match against Dortmund on November 6.

The intensity of the game was raised immediately.

It is equivalent to four games in two weeks, which is completely inconsistent with the rhythm of one game a week for the main players that the team doctor believes is the most reasonable.

So, rotation is still necessary.

At least in this round of the King's Cup, Mourinho will definitely use a pure rotation lineup.

Facing the opponents in the Spanish Second Division B, Mourinho has enough confidence in Matuidi and Modric.

By then, Li Ang can stay at home and rest, and there is no need for him to stay in the team.

On October 27, Jesse Rodriguez was officially promoted from Castilla to the Real Madrid first team.

Several Castilla elder brothers naturally congratulated him again.

At present, the 19-year-old Jesse has surpassed all the attackers in Castilla.

He has contributed 7 goals and 4 assists in this season's Spanish Second Division.

You know, the Spanish Second Division has just finished ten rounds, and Jesse has already averaged one goal per game.

No wonder Mourinho is confident that he will not add attackers in the summer window.

This big baby is in his own camp, just promote him to the first team.

Jesse can't replace any member of Real Madrid's offensive trident now.

But he is more than enough to be a rotation substitute.

Once the King's Cup starts, and the main players of Real Madrid's first team will often rotate and rest in the league, Jesse will have many opportunities to play and exercise.

On the evening of October 28, in the ninth round of the La Liga on Mallorca Island, Real Madrid used a half-main half-rotation lineup to beat Mallorca by three goals.

Not only did Jesse get a chance to play in this game, he also played the entire second half.

Before being substituted in the second half, Li Ang took advantage of Benzema's cover to advance to the left side of Mallorca's penalty area with the ball, and deliberately passed the ball to this kid to let him perform.

Jesse did not live up to Li Ang's trust in him. He confidently passed the opponent's defender Conceicao in Mallorca's penalty area, and then passed the ball to the back of the goal, helping Ronaldo score another goal!

This series of technical actions was very coherent, and the La Liga commentator of Movistar said bluntly:

"This talented young player is not showing off his skills and extraordinary qualities, he is showing off his talent, pure talent!"

Yes, the performance of the 19-year-old Jesse on the court is to show off his talent.

At least at this moment, almost all the fans and commentators who watched this game thought that Real Madrid would gain another outstanding talent from its own youth training.

Just like Li Ang at the end of 2010.

Also 19 years old, and also promoted by Mourinho.

But the talent shown by Jesse at this club is much stronger than that of Li Ang at that time.

The attention and treatment he currently receives are also much better than that of Li Ang at that time.

He has all the talents and conditions for success, and he should succeed.

After Real Madrid got the first assist, Jesse did quickly attract the attention of the media and a large number of Real Madrid fans.

On the evening of October 31, Jesse started for Real Madrid in the King's Cup for the first time.

Facing Alcoyano of the Spanish Second Division B, Jesse directly contributed 70 minutes of passing and shooting.

Morata scored twice, Callejon and Modric scored one goal each.

In the end, Real Madrid won a 5-0 victory at Alcoyano's home!

There is nothing to predict or say about the result of this game, after all, the opponent is too weak.

However, the outstanding performance of Real Madrid's rotation players still makes Real Madrid fans very happy.

Real Madrid has also maintained a record of 16 unbeaten games in all competitions since the start of the new season.

Compared with the crazy winning streak last season, Real Madrid's record this season is slightly "normal".

There are draws with Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup and the league.

Not so strong, there are fewer big score games, but it also seems more stable.

However, Barcelona is not lagging this season. When Real Madrid is unbeaten, Barcelona is still unbeaten in the league.

So the two teams are still leading the La Liga standings with the same points in the league, and they can't pull away or get rid of each other.

It really highlights a patient competition.

And when these two teams are stable in bullying, the teams in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga will suffer the most.

On the afternoon of November 3, Malaga took the lead in opening the tenth round of the La Liga.

However, they failed to get off to a good start, but unfortunately lost 1-2 to Rayo Vallecano at home.

Barcelona, ​​the second team to play, still maintained a stable game state.

Barcelona won Celta 3-0 steadily, refusing to be upset, and Messi continued to keep pressure on Ronaldo in the scorer list with his passing and shooting performance.

After Barcelona finished the game, Real Madrid took the stage to compete with Zaragoza in the tenth round of the league.

It was really difficult for Real Madrid to be upset in this game.

Facing Zaragoza, the current second-in-command of the league, Ronaldo ended the suspense of the game with a neat hat trick in the first half.

Higuain, who started, also scored a goal in the second half.

However, today Di Maria and Benzema, who replaced Ronaldo in the second half, did not seem to have much desire to attack.

Real Madrid had no intention of slaughtering the bottom team. After a simple 4-0 victory, relying on the goal difference advantage, Real Madrid overtook Barcelona and ranked first in La Liga!

The two Spanish Super League teams both achieved a record of nine wins and one draw in the league, and it seems that they are really heading for the second half of the league to decide the winner.

Atletico Madrid, who are behind them, are also surprisingly good at the moment.

With eight wins, one draw and one loss, Simeone's new Atletico Madrid is very strong. After Diego Costa was promoted and he partnered with Falcao, Atletico Madrid's record has taken off.

Compared with the offensive scenes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid is now unique in the league with its tough offensive and defensive performance.

They are not bad at attacking, with the number of goals only behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and the number of goals conceded is second only to Real Madrid, ranking second lowest in La Liga.

This kind of data performance is very eye-catching, and the toughness on the field has almost become Atletico Madrid's new label.

The era of La Liga's big fight officially kicked off at the end of 2012.

Atletico Madrid carried a machete all the way to the gates of the two Spanish Super League teams.

They are going to force their way in to share the meat!
