Real Madrid fans were yelling at Dick from the beginning to the end, while Atletico Madrid fans laughed in the stands - they felt crushed at first, but when they saw Real Madrid's fierce attack, they had no chance at all.
At that time, they also began to understand Dick's reason for doing this - Atletico Madrid is now four points ahead of Real Madrid. After this round, there are only ten rounds left in the league, and they will welcome Roma at home in midweek.
If you fight too hard in this game, it is easy to lose. Instead of blindly attacking to get a bad opportunity, it is better to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Real Madrid. Real Madrid's tactics are very troublesome for this approach, even if it is just
After completing the defense without counterattack, a draw can also give Atletico Madrid more advantages in the next game. In the remaining ten rounds, they only need to score no less than five points less than Real Madrid's score to win.
Yes! Because they have an advantage over Real Madrid! Even if they have the same points, Atletico Madrid will win in the end! How many points can they get in ten rounds? Even if Real Madrid gets 30 points, Atletico Madrid only needs to get 26 points.
Victory! That’s eight wins and two draws!
Atletico Madrid fans who are crazy about the tenth league championship do not care how they win the league championship. What they care about is the title of league champion!
What's more, Dick made this response under a very subtle situation - because in the last round, Barcelona took away a point from Calderon in this way! If Barcelona and Atletico Madrid play against each other,
, with the current state and strength of Atletico Madrid, and the fact that Barcelona’s strength has indeed dropped significantly, they will probably be defeated by the high-spirited Atletico Madrid at home. In that case, Atletico Madrid will be six points ahead of Real Madrid! Atletico Madrid fans
We firmly believe that if Atletico Madrid is six points ahead of Real Madrid, Dick will definitely not use this tactic!
If under other circumstances, in such a highly anticipated game, Dick had decisively used such a disgraceful tactic, I am afraid that Atletico Madrid fans would have spit on Dick's face - I even took off my pants, you
The resentment of showing this to me is very big - however, Barcelona has already done this once before, and Dick feels that it is very logical to do it again, at least after Atletico Madrid fans have just experienced the situation of being hated by the opponent's stubborn defender and grinding their teeth.
, seeing that the fans of their rivals in the same city are as depressed as themselves, their mood will become much better...
"You deserve it! You have to suffer the same torture we suffered!"
The Atletico Madrid fans were delighted to see the expressions of the Real Madrid fans gnashing their teeth, and they began to feel a strange pleasure in their hearts - they have been professionally stuck for twenty years!
Faced with Atletico Madrid's rogue style of play, Real Madrid were helpless. They wanted to use a hammer like a big hammer to smash Atletico Madrid's turtle shell into pieces, but they were still unable to do so. They really had to exert all their strength to suppress Atletico Madrid.
They may be able to score goals on offense, but they know the counterattack lineup of Jardel and Vicente is very powerful. In addition, there is Belleron in the backcourt who has excellent long passing ability. Such a counterattack combination is enough to make Real Madrid
The defense, which had begun to age, suffered a big loss.
What's more, it's impossible for them to give their best in this game - Atletico Madrid's UEFA Cup game is five days later, and their Champions League game is three days later! Atletico Madrid is playing at home and will finish this round.
They can just drive home and sleep in the league, but they still have to rush to that horrible place in Turkey to challenge Galatasaray away...
Maintaining a four-point gap is not a particular disadvantage to Real Madrid.
Therefore, Real Madrid is working hard to attack, and at the same time, it is trying not to leave any openings for Atletico Madrid to counterattack. In addition, Figo and others have played two full games in the national team, and they actually do not have much ability.
To tear apart Atletico Madrid's solid defense, after the two sides reached such a tacit understanding, although there were many exciting scenes in this game, they were basically concentrated in the midfield and did not create many shooting opportunities. When the referee blew the whistle
When the full-time whistle blew, the score was fixed at zero-zero...
Atletico Madrid ended their record of scoring goals in fifteen consecutive league rounds. In the first fifteen rounds of the league, they scored every game. Even if they couldn't score, the opponent would score an own goal. Real Madrid suffered two rounds of winless games.
With ten rounds left, they are still four points behind Atletico Madrid...
"Five points in three league rounds... is not bad. After all, we are facing the three strongest teams in Spain." Dick said to Marriner with a smile when he walked into the locker room. He didn't care about the stands at all.
Instead of shouting "liar, coward, coward" from Real Madrid fans, he walked into the tunnel with a relaxed smile and put all the curses behind him.
Marriner looked at him with some worry: "You can ignore the scolding of the fans... After all, the head coach of Atletico Madrid does not need to care about the scolding of Real Madrid fans, but when it comes to the press conference... there will definitely be many reporters who will question you.
, because you criticized Barcelona’s conservative tactics so fiercely at the end of the last round of the league, but you immediately used it in this game..."
"So what?" Dick laughed and looked at Marina and asked relaxedly.
"How about... I go to the press conference instead of you? La Liga does not force the head coach to attend the post-match press conference if there is no problem." Marriner said after thinking for a while.
"Haha, thank you for doing this, Robert, but it's not necessary, it's really not necessary."
Dick laughed happily, then put his arm around Marina's shoulders and walked towards the locker room: "If it was normal, it would be fine if you went to participate in my place, but I know clearly that those bastard reporters are going to make things difficult for me, but I still
If I push you out, then I'm not a man... Don't worry, the reporters who can stump me haven't been born yet. I know what they can say. Don't worry, it won't happen.
No matter what the problem is, I’m not afraid if there are any problems. It’s the fans and Mr. Chairman who can decide my fate, not the reporters!”
Seeing Dick's confident look, Marriner sighed. He knew what Dick said was true. He couldn't escape at this time. If he changed to another head coach, he would escape if he did, but Dick
He has always appeared in public as a pure man. He smokes, goes to nightclubs, and swears, but he is a pure man! I made a bet with the reporter that he would go to Barcelona in person to spray Barcelona. He would go there in person, and other celebrities
When coaches quarrel, he personally takes part in it. If he avoids asking the assistant coach to take action because of such a situation, this image will naturally be shattered...
To participate in this press conference, Dick did not bring any players, but appeared at the press conference alone, with a cheerful smile on his face...
"Hello, Mr. Bosque, when you go to Turkey next, be careful. There is not much difference between football hooligans and murderers there... In fact, I would like to suggest that when Spanish clubs go to Turkey to play games, they must not let the fans
Spread out, because that place is really dangerous."
Dick said to Bosque sincerely, but as an Atletico Madrid coach who said such words, it seemed that he had some bad intentions...
Bosque didn't see any bad intentions in Dick, because he really looked worried, so he just nodded: "We are already prepared for this situation." Just last summer,
Two Leeds United fans stained the streets of Istanbul with blood. Since then, all European teams will raise their security level to the highest level when they go to Turkey...
The conversation between the two people was not loud, so the reporters in the audience did not hear what they were saying. They thought it was just a routine greeting. What they paid more attention to was the question session that followed...
"In today's game, Atletico Madrid used an extremely ugly and conservative defensive tactic to score a point. Mr. Dick, do you have any explanation for this?"
When the host announced the start of the press conference, a reporter immediately stood up and asked loudly.
"No matter what color the cat is, if it can catch mice, it is a good cat. No matter what kind of tactics it is, if it can get what we need, it is a good tactic." Dick shrugged: "Everyone knows,
I am an eclectic head coach, whether it is offense or defense, I will only use tactics that allow me to achieve my goals."
"But just half a month ago, after the game, you criticized Barcelona for using that ugly tactic to take away a point from the Calderon... That's not what you said at that time." Another reporter also stood.
Got up.
Dick picked his ears: "Half a month ago? I've almost forgotten it. What was it? Can you repeat it?"
The poor reporter who asked the question is a reporter from Catalonia. There is no problem in repeating it, but if he attacks Barcelona so viciously, it is really embarrassing for him to repeat it...
However, in a dilemma, the reporter still gritted his teeth and repeated Dick's words verbatim. When he said, "They are willing to use the ugliest tactics to get a point," the reporter almost broke his teeth.
Already...
"Oh, that's it. I forgot about it. Yes, I did say it, but is there any problem?" Dick asked, still looking nonchalant.
"You used such words to criticize Barcelona's defensive tactics, but you immediately adopted such tactics to deal with Real Madrid. Is this a very reasonable thing?" The reporter turned to face other people and said loudly: "When others are like this
When you did it, you criticized the opponent from a high level without any worries, but now you treat the game the same way in the blink of an eye! Do you have double standards for yourself and others?"
"Nonono, it's not a double standard." Dick held out a finger: "There is an essential difference between these...At that time, Barcelona was four points away from the Champions League area. They needed victory to shorten the distance, but they did not.
Just for one point, with that point, they are six points away from the Champions League area. In fact, they are using ugly tactics to get further and further away from the goal... And what about us? We are now ranked first, leading the third place.
Four points for the second place, and the opponent is second place again. We used ugly tactics to get one point, which left us still four points ahead, and one less round for the rest of the league... What I am criticizing is not that Barcelona used this
Tactics, but criticize them for still only being satisfied with one point when one point is far from enough, and having no ambition to make progress! There is an essential difference between these, do you understand? Tactics are the means to achieve season goals.
As long as everything is moving forward towards the season goals and within the rules, there is nothing to blame! Barcelona has deviated from this goal, so I have reason to criticize Barcelona, and I have reason to do so against Real Madrid!
