After the winter break, Atletico Madrid did not stop their good form. After defeating Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid ushered in Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey. They also sent out all substitutes and they surprisingly performed well in the Copa del Rey.
They defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in an away game. Athletic Bilbao, which sent all its main players, actually lost to Atletico Madrid at home, which was dominated by substitutes! However, they did not lose in this game because on the scene, they
They were not at a disadvantage, and even had some advantages. However, two flashes from Cruz and Torres allowed Atletico Madrid to win the game!
After returning to the league, Atletico Madrid, which continued to play at home, won another victory. With three goals from Jardel, Belleron and Baraja, Atletico Madrid defeated Mallorca 3-1 at home. In this season
They completed a double-play against Mallorca and wiped away the shame of being without a win against Mallorca with one draw and one loss last season!
"Atletico Madrid is crazy, their condition is really amazing...and after the winter break, the other giants are not in very good condition, which makes their advantage become bigger and bigger! Now the only one who can compete with Atletico Madrid is
The comparison is with their city rival Real Madrid, because after the winter break, they also maintained excellent combat effectiveness and defeated two strong teams, Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia! Next, Atletico Madrid will face each other consecutively.
For Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia, if these two teams can stop Atletico Madrid, the suspense of the La Liga championship this season will be relatively high..."
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Dick led a group of substitutes to once again defeat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 at home and successfully entered the semi-finals of the King's Cup - their luck in the King's Cup this season is actually very good.
, because they have never encountered a particularly strong team, but they will soon encounter it. Next, they will face Deportivo La Coruna twice in a row, and this weekend, their league opponent is also Deportivo La Coruna.
Ya...
For Deportivo La Coruna, their state after the winter break is very bad. Two consecutive losses have widened the gap between them and Atletico Madrid to 13 points! Although there are still 18 rounds in the league, such a big gap
, it can almost be said that it is very difficult to catch up...
"Now we have to fight for honor. No matter what, we must try to defeat Atletico Madrid and retain our last hope of winning the championship!" Irueta said before the start of the game.
As a result, when this round of the league started, Irueta had the urge to vomit blood. Not only him, but the entire Deportivo fans in the Riazor Stadium also had the urge to vomit blood...
Atletico Madrid put on a standard defensive counterattack posture, seemingly just to score a point!
"You fucking used this trick again..." Even Irueta, who has always been gentle and gentle, couldn't help but want to scold Dick. Last season, Dick used this kind of trick when he had a four-point advantage.
A completely shameless tactic tied Real Madrid and gained a crucial point. Now that he has such a huge advantage, it is no wonder that he would use it against Deportivo La Coruni, who clearly wanted to fight to the death to defeat Atletico Madrid and retain his hope of winning the championship.
Awesome.
Irueta wanted to throw the cup down and tell Dick that I will fight with you and then let the players press forward to fight Atletico Madrid, but his reason told him that Dick must have a conspiracy, and his defense line is aging.
So serious, speed is a flaw. As long as Dick grasps this, Deportivo may suffer three consecutive defeats - this is a deadlock. Deportivo is very likely to attack.
Attack, but what is more likely is that their defense is constantly penetrated by Atletico Madrid's counterattacks - Vicente and Jorgensen on the wings, plus center Jardel and Belleron passing the ball behind them.
This is a natural counterattack tactic!
Camoranesi was injured and had to miss more than two months and would not be able to return until March. However, Jorgensen was faster than Camoranesi and was more comfortable in counterattacking!
So the whole game passed with Deportivo's cautious attack. They didn't dare to press too far forward or attack too crazy. Such an attack naturally couldn't make Atletico Madrid's defense feel too much.
The pressure was on, but they didn't give Atletico Madrid much chance to counterattack. In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 0-0. Atletico Madrid stopped their six-game winning streak, and Deportivo also stopped their losing streak.
However, after the game, many media criticized Deportivo, believing that they did not dare to attack because they were afraid of Atletico Madrid's counterattack. This was a cowardly act. This criticism made Deportivo and Iran
Rueta felt aggrieved - Damn you, you didn't dare to mess with Dick, so you came to bully us? Didn't you see that Atletico Madrid couldn't defend first? We foolishly pressed the attack and were beaten to pieces by their counterattack.
!A point is better than no point! We tried our best, the opponent is too cunning! You say I can’t do it, but if you can, you go ahead!
In fact, the media is also full of bitterness. It’s not that they don’t want to criticize Dick, but Dick also cares? After such a long time, don’t we still know what kind of character Dick is? He wins and wins beautifully.
He praises himself everywhere, he can find reasons to excuse himself when he loses, he gets what he wants in an ugly way, and he doesn't care about others' criticism - how can you have such an incompetent scoundrel?
What can we do? You, Irueta, are a gentleman, so we have no choice but to bully you. Who makes gentlemen easy to bully...
What disappoints everyone even more is that when Atletico Madrid stopped its winning streak, Real Madrid, which had previously defeated Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia in succession and seemed to be in excellent form, unexpectedly failed to win - they were away from home.
The draw with Malaga left them eight points behind Atletico Madrid. They were able to defeat Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia, but ended up with a draw with Malaga. This made many people who did not want to win the La Liga title.
The fans whose suspense disappeared prematurely all had the urge to vomit blood, and they couldn't help but want to scold Real Madrid - when Atletico Madrid was winning in a row, your winning streak was behind them, but now Atletico Madrid is tied, but you are also tied.
Yes, just slow down the pace of pursuit - there is adultery between you!
"Anyway, we are still eight points ahead, which is a good thing." Dick laughed heartily on the training ground, and then waved his hand with high spirits: "Guys! Next we have to try to defeat Valencia at home!
Last time we tied with them in the away game because we were distracted by the Champions League, now at home we have to win!"
After Dick shouted like this, he began to confidently kill Valencia at home - Valencia's defense now is not as good as when Cooper was there, even though Benitez will become Benitez in the future.
"Da Shi" is still an out-and-out tactician. His offensive command ability is quite outstanding. At the same time, the strikerless tactic implemented in Valencia can be regarded as a groundbreaking move. Although this
This style of play in which players' positions are blurred in the frontcourt was not his first, but it was the first he started to use in the five major leagues. It was also a revolutionary move.
As it happens, Dick is not worried about dealing with this kind of team that runs and attacks in the frontcourt. The more runs in the frontcourt, the more gaps there will be in the backcourt. With an excellent organizing midfielder like Belleron, Ma
It is not very difficult to seize the opportunity of the opponent's transition between offense and defense to score a goal.
However, after the game started...it was Dick's turn to look at the expressionless Benitez on the visiting team's coaching bench with fire in his eyes, and he wanted to run over and hit the fat man on the head with a stick...
Valencia put on a tiger-like posture, with Ayala as the sweeper and Pellegrino in front of him. The two full-backs Carboni and Angonoma also returned to the penalty area to help.
In defense, Rufitt and Killy acted as sweepers, Albelda firmly guarded the penalty area...
"You can't be so shameless..." Dick looked at Benitez and sighed.
Benitez's face was expressionless, and his voice seemed to be coming from the horizon, which made Dick feel like the voice of a devil: "This world is inherently perverted."
Dick shuddered, and then came back from his fantasy. Benitez was not a pervert wearing sunglasses, nor was he the middle-aged Black Dragon King Uncle Mao, nor was he the despicable magician with endless blessings.
It's just a game.
In the end, the game was tied at one to one. Valencia relied on a counterattack and Mista scored first. Atletico Madrid launched a crazy counterattack in the next game. In the end, Cruz, who came on as a substitute, equalized
As a result, Atletico Madrid suffered two consecutive draws.
"Perhaps only Benitez's shameless behavior can make shameless Dick suffer some pain."
After the game, a famous commentator on the Spanish national television sports channel commented.
This sentence resonated with many people. Although Benitez only became the head coach of Valencia this season, his coaching style has already been demonstrated, which is to be eclectic and do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.
, he only strives for the final result and does not consider the process at all. In this regard, the styles of Benitez and Dick are also relatively similar.
The teams coached by these two people are both top-notch teams, but they are still far behind the giants. The traditional style is not as aesthetic as Real Madrid and Barcelona, which pursues beautiful football, so they can play in such a club.
They are like a fish in water. With their coaching style, if they really coached at Real Madrid and Barcelona, even if they had excellent results, they would be kicked out by the angry fans in a short time.
Thinking that Dick is now prosperous and Benitez is gradually forgetting Cooper, many traditional La Liga fans are a little worried - if such a head coach can become popular, does it mean that La Liga will
Become more utilitarian and pursue victory, but lose the previous tradition?
But when Dick heard people say that Benitez looked very similar to him, he was quite dissatisfied - Damn it, Benitez doesn't look like me. I'm young and handsome, much better than that guy.
Look! Look at Benitez’s face! It’s just like a blank slate in mahjong, with no charm at all! The most important thing is, look at this lush, dark hair! Look at Benitez’s Mediterranean face!
Mediterranean! How could I look so much like him!
You people really have no vision!
However, although this league was tied with Valencia, Dick was still very happy - because Real Madrid might really have an affair with him. They had tied for two consecutive times, and Real Madrid had also tied for two consecutive years - they were at home.
Being held to a one-to-one draw by Real Betis, the high-priced loser Denilson unexpectedly broke out in this game. He passed Figo, Cambiaso and Salgado and then broke into the penalty area and scored the equalizer.
Atletico Madrid still leads the standings with an eight-point advantage!
There are still sixteen rounds left in the league, and Atletico Madrid leads by eight points. The situation is so good that it is unbelievable.
