It is obvious that both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have basically reached the end of their strength. In this round of the league, Atletico Madrid at home defeated Villarreal 2-1 with difficulty.
Once behind in the game, they finally won the victory with difficulty thanks to Capdevila's lob from the corner of the penalty area and an own goal from the opponent's defender. Real Madrid's performance was not much better either. They played against Austria at home.
In the Sasuna game, the one-to-one scoreline lasted until the 87th minute, when Figo scored three points with a direct free kick...
With six rounds left in the league, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are like two scarred giants. They have now left behind other competitors. Deportivo La Coruna, who is ranked third, is also nine points away from Real Madrid.
The gap is even eleven points worse than Atletico Madrid, which means that they basically cannot win the league championship. After three years of being sidelined, the league championship this season will finally return to Madrid - just look at it.
Belongs to Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid...
"It must belong to us." Dick said with certainty again at the post-match press conference, because in mid-week, Real Madrid will welcome Bayern at home and enter the Champions League semi-finals. There is no such thing as a game like this.
The team will give up, let alone Real Madrid, which already has eight Champions Leagues in hand.
In this game, Real Madrid will definitely try their best to win this game, and Real Madrid, whose bench is also not very thick, will definitely be affected in the weekend's league - they will go away to challenge on the weekend.
Celta, this is a bitter owner of Real Madrid.
In the Champions League last season, Real Madrid also met Bayern in the Champions League. In those two games, Real Madrid was originally not favored because in the previous Champions League group stage, Real Madrid and Bayern were divided.
In the same group, they were beaten twice by Bayern, and they conceded four goals in every game. It could be said that they were beaten without temper. However, in the semi-finals, relying on Anelka's outstanding performance, they
Eliminating Bayern, they won their eighth Champions League title!
This time they met their old rival Bayern again in the Champions League semi-finals. Real Madrid would naturally not relax. Del Bosque also sent all the main players in the game. However, this time luck was not on Real Madrid's side. Although Real Madrid was on the scene
Although they had the advantage, there was nothing they could do about the gate guarded by Kahn. Bayern adopted excellent defensive tactics. Brazilian striker Elber, who returned from injury in time, seized an opportunity that was not a chance. He used a long kick in the second half
The shot broke through Casillas's ten-finger barrier, and Bayern took away a 1-0 victory from the Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid, who lost at home, fell into a very difficult situation. However, they did not have no chance, because they focused on defense.
Bayern's core midfielder Effenberg received a yellow card and was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards. They will lose this tiger in the second round at home. This is also a good opportunity for Real Madrid.
Dick watched the whole game - of course he was in disguise, covering his face before going to the Bernabeu Stadium, and he left the field early before the game was over - otherwise he would be recognized by Real Madrid fans
If it comes out, maybe the Real Madrid fans who are angry because of the defeat will do some less elegant things to Dick...
"Real Madrid is at the end of its tether... they may not be able to win in the next round. Let's not think about Real Madrid now. It is serious business to find a way to win our next games one by one." Dick.
Say to Marina.
Atletico Madrid's next opponent is Zaragoza - this team that reached the top four last season is in trouble this season. Now they are closer to the relegation zone. At this time, they encounter a wolf-like team.
Atletico Madrid is not in a good situation.
Although in the danger of relegation, Zaragoza players who have little fighting spirit because the team gave up qualifications for the Champions League will definitely show their full fighting spirit in the game. However, recently, Atletico Madrid players have been playing one game a week.
Their condition has recovered very well, even at home, Zaragoza will not have too many chances.
This is also true.
Atletico Madrid's game against Zaragoza was on Saturday, one day earlier than Real Madrid's game - Atletico Madrid didn't let the Real Madrid fans who followed the game see what they wanted to see, although their top scorer Jardel
During the game, he was stared at by the opponent, but Cruz, who came on as a substitute, solved all the problems. He scored two goals after coming on in the second half. Vicente was the icing on the cake. Atletico Madrid defeated Sala 3-1 away from home.
Goza currently ranks first in the league with a five-point lead over Real Madrid with one game in hand!
Bosque is in trouble at this time - he cannot give up the Champions League, but the five-point gap in the league is enough to cause a headache. If he cannot win Celta Vigo, there will only be five rounds left in the league.
It is almost an impossible task to catch up with Atletico Madrid who are in excellent form...
There is still huge hope in winning against Celta. After all, a two-point gap is not troublesome, but if too much physical energy is consumed on Celta, even if Effenberg is suspended, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to get away from Bayern.
Get benefits...
Now Bosque is indeed in a dilemma. There is no chance for both sides, win both? Real Madrid may not have the ability to give up one of them now? But which one is better to give up? Real Madrid has not won the league championship for three seasons.
It is very possible to get the eighth Champions League. Such a choice is indeed too difficult.
In this case, Bosque can only trust the strength of the substitute players.
In this game, he hid Figo and sent Guti, hoping to achieve a state where both hands are strong through such adjustments - but some things cannot be forced. Atletico Madrid this season
To be able to go hand in hand, in addition to the outstanding performance of Dick's players, Dick's continuous rotation from the beginning to allow the main players to get more rest time is also a very important factor. Of course, the more important factor is that the championship
The intensity of the competition in the Cup and the competition in the UEFA Cup are at two levels. Because of Dick's excellent command, Atletico Madrid basically did not have sparks flying in both rounds during the knockout round, which allowed them to win in the UEFA Cup.
The progress has been relatively smooth.
Even so, Atletico Madrid was almost dragged down before. If it hadn't been basically one game a week in the past few weeks, I'm afraid Atletico Madrid wouldn't have been able to push Real Madrid to this point.
In the previous intensive schedule and strong opponents, Atletico Madrid survived, but this time Real Madrid failed to survive.
In this game, Real Madrid was suppressed by the crazy running Celta Vigo throughout the game. Juanfran's goal in the eighth minute made the Atletico Madrid fans who were paying attention to the game let out huge cheers.
Then in the 25th minute, when Gustavo extended the lead to 2-0, Atletico Madrid fans cheered again...
When Hessouri scored Celta Vigo's third goal of the game in the 90th minute, half of Madrid sighed in pain, while the other half of Madrid cheered!
Real Madrid lost 0-3 to Celta Vigo on the road! This means that Atletico Madrid's five-point advantage has begun to be determined. In the remaining five rounds, they only need to get ten points to win the league championship this season.
!
Such a big advantage!
No one thought that in this stalemate situation, it was not the younger-looking Atletico Madrid who could not stand it first, but the more experienced Real Madrid!
Only then did everyone realize that they seemed to have overlooked one thing, that is, although Real Madrid seemed to have a better record of winning titles than Atletico Madrid, their league championships date back to nearly four years ago, and Atletico Madrid only had one more year than Real Madrid.
It’s just the period!
Who else is still in the Real Madrid team that won the championship led by Capello in the 1996-97 season? There are not many, just Roberto Carlos, Hierro, Guti, Raul and so on.
Just a few people. Among the current main players of Real Madrid, Helguera, Karanka, Campo, Salgado, Morientes, Figo and others have not joined Real Madrid yet, and Casillas is still in the youth team.
Hanging out...
So in fact, Real Madrid players don’t have a lot of experience in winning championships. Among the players who joined, except Figo, other players don’t have much experience in winning league championships. Atletico Madrid survived, but Real Madrid didn’t survive, and it’s not like
It looks so surprising...
"Let's not relax now! Get me the early game! Then go to the UEFA Cup with an eight-point advantage! This game makes me so damn nervous! The game against Barcelona
The mistake must never happen again! Real Madrid gave us a lot of opportunities. If we all give up, then no one can blame us for losing the championship! Go ahead and beat Osasuna.
They are just a relegation team, they cannot stop our progress! Kill them and go to Germany with an eight-point advantage!"
Taking advantage of the five-point lead, Dick tried every means to boost the team's morale. Although it was an early game, if the lead could be extended to eight points, it would be almost a game.
With a lead that felt desperate, Dick knew that Real Madrid was in trouble now. If they couldn't beat the opponent to death with a stick, it would be very miserable if Atletico Madrid hadn't established enough advantages by the time they regained their breath.
The winner will be Atletico Madrid, because in terms of experience, Atletico Madrid is indeed inferior to Real Madrid...
In order to hit his opponent mentally, Dick didn't want to kill his opponent at the last minute in the last round to win the championship. Although that was exciting, it was not stable enough!
Dick now can't afford to play such an exciting game!
Under Dick's almost crazy pressure, Atletico Madrid's players also mustered up Yu Yong to perform outstandingly in this round of league games ahead of schedule. Torres' goal in the 65th minute brought the entire Calderon Stadium into a trap.
Amidst huge cheers!
"No one can stop us from winning the tenth league championship trophy!" Countless Atletico Madrid fans were shouting crazily, although Real Madrid could still get up to fifteen points in the remaining games, that is,
It is said that Atletico Madrid must score at least seven points in the remaining four rounds of the league to ensure the championship. However, Atletico Madrid fans are extremely convinced that they will definitely be able to win the league championship, because the current Atletico Madrid is really
Very powerful!
"We are very strong. There is nothing that can make us lose the league title. It is not very difficult for us to get seven points in the next four rounds of the league. And with Real Madrid's current state, it may not be able to win all five rounds of the league.
The victory...now I'm already thinking about the UEFA Cup final." Dick said with a smile after the game.
