Atletico Madrid's opponent in the semi-finals of the League Cup is Roma, which is now ranked first in Serie A and has almost unshakable advantages.

This team almost solved Vallecano in the first round. Vallecano, the dark horse of La Liga with fast attack and crazy running, could not resist the attack like Rome, and they were thrown three goals away in the first round, so at that time Dick knew that his opponent in the semi-finals would probably be Rome...

In the second round, they seemed to have left a lot of strength on the away game, so they lost to Vallecano in the end, 0-2. The total score of 3-2 seemed very dangerous. However, everyone who watched that game knew that Vallecano had no choice but to use Roma's defense line throughout the game. It was not until the last five minutes of the game that Roma's defense line began to relax and scored two goals. They actually had no chance in the whole game...

Being able to rank first in Serie A and have a five-point advantage, Roma does have strong strength this season, and being able to reach the semi-finals in the League Cup also proves that they have grown up this season under Capello's training. In the two semi-finals held in April, they will definitely cause the biggest trouble for Atletico Madrid!

Dick didn't care about Rome at this time. After all, the first game will be played on April 6th. Before that, Atletico Madrid still has two league games to play.

These two league games are naturally two rounds of leagues that are home against Barcelona and away from Real Madrid. If these two league games are not played well, the league championship will probably be a bit dangerous. After all, facing these two teams in a row, if you don’t get it right, you will lose two consecutive games. Now Atletico Madrid is just three-pointer ahead of Real Madrid. If you lose two games in a row, you might become a three-pointer behind Real Madrid...

Dick is unwilling to do such a thing.

So after leading the team back to Madrid, Dick began to prepare for the next league game with all his heart - he defeated Barcelona away in the first leg and deserved to win when he returned to home. However, Dick knew in his heart that football matches were not that simple, and it was common for him to defeat his opponent away from home but lose a big score in the league.

But Dick's luck seemed to be starting to come.

Because they participated in the League Cup in the middle of the week, Atletico Madrid's home match against Barcelona was arranged in the last game, that is, the night of the week, and Real Madrid's away match against Mallorca was held on Saturday - because they did not participate in the game in the middle of the week, the Champions League match will not start in April.

Mallorca, who defeated Real Madrid twice away in the first half of the season, once again showed their Real Madrid nemesis Ben. Relying on the lightning strike and defense of young forward Albert Luke in the 39th minute, Mallorca defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home and gave Real Madrid a heavy blow!

It has to be mentioned that half of the ownership is in Real Madrid's Cameroon striker Etoo, who plays an extremely critical role in this goal. It is precisely because of his lightning raid that tore open Real Madrid's defense line and then pass the ball to Luke selflessly that this gold goal appeared!

With one more game, Real Madrid is three points behind Atletico Madrid!

This means that as long as Atletico Madrid can beat Barcelona at home, they will be able to lead Real Madrid by six points with eleven rounds left in the league - although this is not a particularly big gap, for Atletico Madrid, it is a distance that is enough for them to feel safe!

You should know that the Champions League has only reached the quarter-finals, and the League Cup has reached the semi-finals! In the next game, Atletico Madrid's schedule will be looser than Real Madrid, and they will occupy an extremely favorable position!

However... Barcelona showed the courage of a century-old giant at this time - they did not want to see Real Madrid's jokes and deliberately lost to Atletico Madrid. Although they are still a little short of entering the top four now, whether for their own results or for a breath, they showed their best condition at Calderon Stadium!

They fought against Atletico Madrid throughout the game. Even after Rivaldo scored a goal first, they did not hesitate to return to defend to protect the victory. Although Torres, who came on the bench, scored a goal in the chaos, Atletico Madrid still regretfully failed to score three points at home. In the last fifteen minutes, they pressed Barcelona into their half and bombarded them. Almost everyone pressed them up and kept testing Barcelona's defense with their shè goal. Barcelona stubbornly blocked Atletico Madrid's shè thirty-two times with their flesh and blood, and finally snatched a point from Calderon Stadium!

"I have to say, I admire Barcelona very much... They actually defended for one point. Is this Barcelona, ​​which is known for its gorgeous offense? They are so desperate, but just for one point... This really makes me feel a little incredible. Is this still the dream team Barcelona that achieved almost all honors in the 1990s? There is only one point in their eyes, just to prevent us from winning. They are willing to use the ugliest defensive counterattack to get a point... I am so disappointed that Barcelona like this is not worthy of becoming our opponent in a few years. Well, congratulations to Barcelona, ​​they finally got a valuable point that widened the gap between them and the Champions League to six points, and took a solid step towards the qualification for the League Cup next season!"

Dick's sarcastic sarcasm after the game made Barcelona fans want to be a human bomb to kill this bastard. However, although Dick mocked Barcelona, ​​he still admired Barcelona in his heart. At least they did not deliberately let Atletico Madrid win because they couldn't stand Real Madrid. From this point of view, Barcelona is much more backbone than Atletico Madrid. A few years later in history, Atletico Madrid once lost six goals to Barcelona without any temper in order to prevent Real Madrid from winning the league championship. The only effort in that game was Torres, but he could not save the entire situation alone. Torres, who had always insisted on leading Atletico Madrid by relying on his own abilities, was completely disappointed with Atletico Madrid after that game. After the end of the season, he chose to transfer to Liverpool and left Atletico Madrid, who he planned to live his life.

A team can hate a team, but if you deliberately lose to the team's competitors in order to hate a team, then this team is far from worthy of being a giant! Later, Inter Milan defeated AC Milan in the Champions League without any hope and allowed Juventus to win the championship ahead of schedule. This approach is the way of a strong team. A giant can temporarily sink but cannot lose such bones. With such bones, Barcelona finally became a team that dominates the entire European continent after four or five years of despair. There is not without reason.

The draw by Barcelona at home disappointed Atletico Madrid fans, but they also knew that the players and Dick had tried their best - who could know that Barcelona, ​​who hated Real Madrid, would rather be embarrassed when facing Atletico Madrid away than steal a point with a dead guard? This point did not benefit them, but left unlimited hope for Real Madrid. A point was snatched away by such a team, and there seemed to be nothing to say...

After this round of league ended, La Liga ushered in a quit period. The next week and a half will be FIFA matches. It will not be the 28th round of the league until April 1. However, what is beneficial to Atletico Madrid is that there are not many international players... In the main lineup, Jadel, Camoranesi and Vicente are not international players. However, Cruise was selected for the Argentine national team. He is a super substitute and does not consume much physical energy. He is also a substitute in the national team. At most, he is a little tired from the journey.

Balajaberellon, the midfielder, is all international players, but they are not absolute main players in the national team and will not be too tired. The only international player on the defense line is Touram. Although Gamara is also an international player, he has now become a substitute. Capdvilla's defeat in the Spanish national team this time is also a good thing for Atletico Madrid, and Marchena is not qualified to join the national team.

Therefore, this FIFA game is a chance to rest for most Atletico Madrid players. Atletico Madrid will be a little better than its competitors in this FIFA game, because there are much more international players like Real Madrid and Barcelona than them - who wants them to be a giant family? Moreover, these international players are basically the absolute main players of their respective national teams. The impact of this consumption is much greater for Real Madrid, and relatively speaking, Atletico Madrid is much smaller in impact.

Dick is also resting during this period. He is studying the tactics of Real Madrid and Rome. He has already made a decision in his mind when dealing with Real Madrid, and he still needs to consider it when dealing with Rome...

When FIFA match ri ended, the La Liga rekindled the battle again. Atletico Madrid's away game was undoubtedly the highlight of this round. They are now ranked in the top two in the standings. Such a top-ranked battle and a city derby will undoubtedly attract the attention of countless people!

The Bernabeu Stadium is full, with 5,000 Atletico Madrid fans flocking to the Bernabeu Stadium. However, in front of Real Madrid fans who have an absolute advantage in numbers, they seem to be unable to splash at all...

Before the game, Dick seemed full of confidence: "We will defeat all the pride of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu! Our leading advantage will expand to seven points! Victory will belong to us, and the tenth Champions League champion is waving to us! We can beat Real Madrid at home, and we can also beat Real Madrid away! I led the team before to break the record of not winning against Real Madrid for six years, and now I will break the record of not winning away against Real Madrid for nine years!"

Not to mention, when Dick shouted such a slogan, many people were frightened by him, especially Real Madrid fans. If they were double-killed by Atletico Madrid in one season, it would be too embarrassing...

What's more, Dick has now established an indestructible image in the hearts of many people and an image that will do what he says. Although he often lies before, it is very strange, but it does not leave people with the impression of going back on his word...

So when the game started five minutes later, everyone broke down.

Because from the first minute, Atletico Madrid acted as a defensive posture. Except for Jadel and Vicente, all the players in the frontcourt returned to defend. Just like retracting the fortress's army, pointing all the guns at the city, and then shouting at the enemy: "Dirty you! If you come, I will shoot you to death!"

Do you want to be so shameless? It would be fine if you deceive Barcelona before. This kind of Madrid derby, such a top-ranked battle, such a Madrid derby, and another top-ranked battle. The whole world is looking forward to it - I took off my fucking pants, so just show me this?
