"In fact, for Bosque, his best choice is to give up the league and focus on competing with us for the Champions League. Because even if they give up the league, we will not be able to win the league championship because Valencia and their
The points are the same, only nine points behind us. However, it is impossible for them to do this, and Del Bosque does not dare to do this, because Real Madrid cannot give up one part and pursue another part. They can only grit their teeth and go together... Besides
Actually, they are not that tired now, and their state is fully stimulated now. Even if the main players are not allowed to rest in the league, their combat effectiveness will not be reduced too much."
Hearing what Dick said, Marriner shrugged his shoulders: "The inexplicable sense of superiority can always kill Real Madrid."
As a coach who has been playing for Atletico Madrid and has been a member of Atletico Madrid from his player days to his coaching days, Marriner has never concealed his disgust for Real Madrid. This is the consciousness of an Atletico Madrid person. When he heard him say this, Di
Ke laughed.
"Actually, this is where their pride lies. Del Bosque knows this. Real Madrid can temporarily lose some championships, but they cannot lose this foundation. This is the biggest factor that keeps them standing. The power of tradition is very powerful.
Real Madrid's tradition is to go all out in any game and pursue magnificence, so although they sometimes lose something, what is the final result? They are the best club in the 20th century, bar none. Compare Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid
Well, that's actually what's missing. Atletico Madrid has no tradition and no deep-rooted things of its own. I can let Atletico Madrid suppress Real Madrid for a period of time. However, if Atletico Madrid doesn't have its own tradition, Real Madrid will sooner or later become
Better."
Seeing Marriner opening his mouth to say something, Dick shook his hand: "Don't say that hating Real Madrid is Atletico Madrid's tradition... Hatred alone is not enough. If you want to become a wealthy club, you must broaden your horizons and know what others say.
Real Madrid? Atletico Madrid only has Real Madrid in its eyes, but Real Madrid only has the whole world in its eyes... This is a problem with the pattern. The pattern is too small to create a big picture."
Marriner was stunned. He had never considered such a problem before, because he just instinctively hated Real Madrid and hoped that Atletico Madrid could suppress Real Madrid. But what is the use of just suppressing Real Madrid? Real Madrid does not win the championship every year.
However, there are always other teams that will win the championship. How much can Atletico Madrid win just by suppressing Real Madrid? Not to mention that most of the time they are suppressed by the opponent...
Dick is right, the situation is too small and it is not that easy to compete with Real Madrid.
"Don't discuss this." Dick smiled slightly. He was already thinking about how to integrate the entire Atletico after becoming a shareholder of Atletico. Cruyff could use twenty years to create Barcelona's unparalleled dominance.
Then you can do it yourself, and you can also let Atletico create its own tradition!
Now he has no authority, but with the shares, he can naturally make the entire team, including the entire youth system, move according to his will. After becoming a shareholder, he will naturally gain greater power.
Of course, this is something to talk about later. No matter how eager for quick success, Dick must strive for victory in these two games. Results in the Champions League are the last word. If he can win against Real Madrid, Dick's status will rise again.
At that time, the club needed more power to control the team and have better confidence.
"The only thing I'm worried about now is that if we win the next round of the league, Real Madrid will basically have no hope of winning the championship. At that time, Del Bosque may justifiably give up a round of the league to fight us.
No, but if we give up the game... I can't do this kind of thing. Giving up all the time will lower the morale of the team." Dick said with some annoyance. This is also what he has been thinking about these days.
, if Real Madrid sees hope of winning the league, then in the games before the start of the Champions League, they will probably continue to compete in the league with all their strength to maintain pressure on Atletico Madrid. In fact, this is beneficial to Atletico Madrid, because they may meet
Against a relatively weak Real Madrid. However, if a certain league game is abandoned, will Atletico Madrid's recently high morale be affected? This is a question Dick has to consider.
"Then we won't give up. Even under equal circumstances, can't we beat Real Madrid? Since we can double beat Real Madrid in the league, we will definitely be able to beat Real Madrid in the knockout round!" Marriner is full of confidence.
said.
"It's a layman's idea, but I like your idea." Dick laughed. Although there is no inevitable connection between beating Real Madrid twice and defeating Real Madrid in the knockout round, at this time,
This kind of confidence and momentum can bring many benefits.
"Then go out with all your strength in the next round of the league and keep the main players in good condition! If they want to rest, there are still ten days before the Champions League starts, which is enough for them to rest. If Real Madrid loses their confidence, then they will lose their confidence. Anyway, under the same conditions,
We are not afraid of them either!" Dick waved his hand and said firmly.
On April 14, in the 34th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid faced Sevilla at home, Real Madrid challenged Osasuna away, and Valencia challenged Mallorca away.
Three teams with a chance to win the championship face three mid-table teams.
The result of this game surprised many people.
Although Atletico Madrid performed well at home, Sevilla performed very tenaciously. They finally succeeded in blocking Atletico Madrid on the road. The one-to-one score caused Atletico Madrid to suffer three consecutive draws. This was also their
The ninth draw in the league this season, however, they still stabilized their lead, because the tired Real Madrid lost 1 to 3 to Osasuna in the away game, and even Valencia was also defeated in the away game.
Lorca tied one to one!
With four rounds left in the league, Atletico leads Real Madrid by ten points and Valencia by nine points, and is only one game away from the league championship!
After consecutive victories, Real Madrid and Valencia finally failed to hold on. Atletico Madrid's league championship has almost been won!
"Bosque is good, really good. He is using this method to prove that the current Real Madrid players have big physical problems and cannot continue to advance in two-line operations. In this way, they will send out players in the next game.
It is forgivable to use substitutes to deal with opponents... But our players are starting to get tired. Otherwise, we should have been able to win the last round of the league. It is a pity. If we win, we can win the league championship.
Got it four rounds in advance.”
"Nine points and four rounds, this advantage is already huge. Without a miracle, it is almost impossible for Valencia to catch up with us. There is no need for us to be anxious." Marina seemed very open-minded.
"Real Madrid has officially withdrawn from the title race! Of course, Valencia's situation is not very good either. They dropped the chain when they least should have. Now Atletico Madrid is only one victory away from winning the championship! Although they have recently lost because of
The distraction of the Champions League caused the league to lose a lot of points, but the huge advantage accumulated in the early stage still gave them a great advantage. The next four rounds of the league will not cause too much disturbance, but will attract people's attention.
It’s the Madrid derby between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League!”
In the next week, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid began to prepare intensively for these two semi-finals. For both sides, they are now in the best condition. No one in the team is injured, and no main players have stopped.
He was able to show his full strength in the semi-finals without any shortcomings.
This kind of confrontation is the most attractive.
Real Madrid has five superstars: Casillas, Carlos, Figo, Zidane and Raul. Although Atletico Madrid does not have such bright superstars, they are all powerful players who are not inferior to superstars.
Del, Belleron, and Makelele form a solid central axis, coupled with the central defender partnership of Thuram and Stam, who can be called the world's number one central defender combination, their overall strength is equally strong and has no flaws. In this way, the two
The rivalry between two teams is indeed enough to attract the attention of countless people!
On April 24th, Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid at home, and on May 2nd, Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid at home. Such a confrontation is enough to become a major event in the city of Madrid!
There are still ten days before the start of the game, and fans from both sides have already begun to build momentum for their teams. The flags of both sides can be seen flying on the streets of Madrid. Originally, in Madrid, Atletico Madrid's support rate is no less than that of Real Madrid. In this case
There are two confrontations in the city, and when both sides have good physical fitness and no one is absent, no matter who wins in the end, there will probably be no dissatisfaction.
Real Madrid's advantage lies in their experience, and Atletico Madrid's advantage lies in their overall strength. Real Madrid has countless experiences in Champions League semi-finals, and Atletico Madrid can seize the weakness of Real Madrid's central defender. In such a confrontation, who wins and who loses?
No one can be sure who will win.
The major betting companies in Europe have the same view on these two games, that is, the odds of both sides are similar, and both are as low as a limit. The odds of Atletico Madrid advancing are 1 to 1 and 2, and the odds of Real Madrid are 1 to 1.
At a loss of one point to one, Real Madrid has a slight advantage mainly because their past results have given people more confidence, but what is interesting is that now regarding the odds of winning the Champions League, Atletico Madrid is actually lower than Real Madrid, which shows that people
I am more optimistic about Atletico Madrid winning the Champions League...
At the beginning of the season, Atletico Madrid's odds of winning the Champions League were 13 to 1, but now it's 1.3 to 1, a full ten times lower!
This is what they have earned through a season of hard work and outstanding performance. In the eyes of everyone, Atletico Madrid is now a strong team that can compete for the Champions League championship. They already have such strength - although
Saying that you have the strength to win the championship does not mean that you will definitely win the championship, but it does mean that you have been recognized by everyone!
Time passed quickly. In a league round before the start of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid coincidentally sent out all their substitutes in the league. As a result, Atletico Madrid lost to Rayo Vallecano 0-2 at home, while Real Madrid
It was a narrow victory over newly promoted Materife. After this round of league, Atletico Madrid's lead shrank again. Valencia, which won this round, narrowed the gap behind Atletico Madrid to six points.
However, Atletico Madrid fans don't care about this. In the next three league rounds, it is enough for them to win one game. They are not worried about Valencia's chance to overtake!
Now, they are thinking about only one thing, and that is the next Champions League semi-finals!
