There are still two rounds left in the league, and Atletico Madrid is finally close to the relegation zone. In the next two rounds of the league, their opponents are Sevilla, which has been relegated in advance, and the mid-range team Mallorca. As long as there are no big surprises
, relegation has basically become a foregone conclusion!
So after playing two consecutive away games (it was supposed to be three games, Barcelona gave up one) and staying out of town for more than a week, Atletico Madrid returned to Madrid where they had been away for a while. Dick gave the players a break
I have two days off, waiting for the 37th round of the league next weekend.
The past week or so has been fantastic for Atletico Madrid. They have escaped from the relegation zone and entered the Copa del Rey final... There is no doubt that there is still a chance to win an official championship after such a terrible season.
It's something to be proud of.
For Barcelona, what happened in the past two weeks is simply like a nightmare...
First, they lost to Atletico Madrid by three goals in the Copa del Rey, and then were defeated by Atletico Madrid again in the league. The gap that had already been chased by only two points widened to five points again. They gave up the second round to prepare for the league and the championship.
Cup, but still failed to recover from the blow after a week's rest. In the thirty-sixth round of the league, although Deportivo lost to Zaragoza, they failed to seize this opportunity.
, just a draw with Rayo Vallecano, still four points behind Deportivo La Coruna - Deportivo only needs to win one victory to win the league championship for the first time in history!
And even the Champions League, which they value most, suffered a heavy setback in the middle of this week - they were defeated by Valencia's excellent defensive counterattack in the away game. The forward Angulo, who has always been somewhat ignored, suffered a heavy setback in this game.
The game was brilliant. Not only did he score two goals, he also forced the young Puyol to foul in the penalty area and get a penalty kick. Mendieta took the penalty and Lopez was the icing on the cake. If it hadn't been for Pellegrino's own goal
, Barcelona may not be able to score a single goal!
In just two weeks, Barcelona's hopes of winning the treble were severely frustrated one after another. They were eliminated from the Copa del Rey and were only four points behind the league with two rounds left. They lost another three goals away from home in the Champions League semi-finals - although they were in the Champions League semi-finals.
After losing 1-3 on the road in the first round, they still managed to come back at home. However, the gap between 1-3 and 1-4 was not only reflected in one goal. It was a huge blow to Barcelona's psychology!
Falling from heaven to hell in an instant, it made Barcelona fans quite painful and sad. After the pain passed, they were shocked to find that the culprit of all this was one person, that is Dick, and the Madrid team he led.
sports!
Yes, it's his fault. Before they faced Atletico Madrid, Barcelona had reached the semi-finals of both the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, and was only two points behind Deportivo La Coruña in the league. Such results were enough for them to move towards the third place.
The crown champions launched an attack, but what did Dick do? He first defeated Barcelona with three goals in the cup, basically dashing Barcelona's hope of winning the King's Cup, and then defeated Barcelona in the league, leaving Barcelona with only three goals left in the league.
In the first round, he was five points behind Deportivo La Coruña, and the league championship was basically hopeless. At the same time, he also allowed Atletico Madrid players to hurt Figo in the game-if it were not for the lack of Figo, this season
Figo, the core midfielder who scored five goals and eight assists in the Champions League, will Barcelona lose so temperamentally in an away game?
That's right, it's all the fault of this bastard named Dick! Of course, it's also Van Gaal's fault. If Spanish players had been reused earlier, they wouldn't have lost so miserably...
Of course they wouldn't think that Dick was just doing what he should do as a head coach. Figo's injury could only be regarded as an accident, and Van Gaal, if he hadn't brought so many outstanding Dutch players and Portuguese-speaking players
, where did Barcelona get two consecutive double crowns before?
Under the anger of Barcelona fans, a TV station soon invited Dick to participate in a program about what happened in the past few days...
This TV station is a public TV station in Madrid, and its full name is "Economic Television of Spain" - yes, it is a channel focusing on financial news - but in Spain, almost every TV station has one or two football columns. This
The TV station also has a sports program called "Penalty Point", which is famous for supporting Real Madrid's sharp stance in criticizing Barcelona - but although they are extremely biased towards Real Madrid, there is no conflict with Atletico Madrid, even if Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid
They are mortal enemies in the same city.
Dick also heard some of the position of this program, so he cautiously asked Old Hill. After getting Old Hill's approval, Dick went to participate in this program with great interest -
—Appearing on TV is also a good choice, not to mention complaining about Barcelona...
To be honest, he really holds a grudge.
But before going to participate in this program, Dick also expected to meet a beautiful host, and then sparks would fly after the program ended - isn't this always the case with Italian football programs? In order to attract ratings,
Get some beauties to be guests or hosts. Maybe these beauties don't know much about football, but they can attract a lot of men to watch. The more famous ones can then show their tendency to support a certain club in the show, and they can immediately gain popularity in the show.
Known as the "xx godmother" in the media, for example, Vieri's ex-lover Canalis was called the godmother of Inter Milan, and Ferilli, known as the godmother of Rome, even appeared on TV after winning the league championship in Rome.
She did a striptease and finally took off only a golden bikini. Toniolo, the second godmother of Inter Milan, also gave the coach a set of nude photos she took for Playboy after winning the Triple Crown at Inter Milan.
Mourinho and the Nerazzurri soldiers...
These beautiful women may not know much about football, but they use their attractive bodies and beautiful looks to add a pink color to football.
Dick also fantasized about meeting such a woman, but what disappointed him was that the Spanish National Economic Television was a national TV station after all. Although they were completely unknown in the football world, they did not know how to use it.
This method is used to attract attention. Besides, just the fact that they satirize Barcelona in every program is enough to attract most Real Madrid fans to watch their program for an hour every Thursday night...
So after coming to the column group, all Dick saw was a middle-aged man. This man was Pedre Lore, the host of the "Penalty Point" program. This man is known for his sharp tongue and acrimonious hosting style.
, he is merciless when it comes to damaging Barcelona, and he also likes to utter curse words, so when his programs are broadcast, there will often be a "beep" sound to cover up his curse words.
If you watch this kind of program from an anti-Barcelona standpoint, you can actually feel some pleasure.
After shaking hands with Pedrerol, the host who claims to hate Barcelona the most tilted his head and smiled: "Mr. Dick, you have done a really good job in the past two weeks!"
Obviously, Atletico Madrid has blocked Barcelona on two fronts in the past two weeks, which made this famous Real Madrid supporter feel so happy that he also ignored Dick's status as Atletico Madrid's interim head coach.
Well, on normal days, Pedrellol might not have had such a happy chat with an Atletico Madrid guy...
"It's just a matter of job." Dick shrugged: "Whether it's from Atletico Madrid's point of view or my personal point of view, I have to do this."
Pedrelor laughed loudly, then made a sign of invitation and prepared to broadcast this program live.
Live talk shows actually test the skills of the host, and inviting guests to talk is to have a good exchange with the guests. Pedre Lore seems to have ignored this and went straight to the stage.
, and then Dick is waiting behind the scenes to come on...
"Welcome to the "Penalty Points" column! The past two weeks have been really exciting and eye-opening for us. In the game that just ended, the great Real Madrid defeated Bayern with two goals at home and headed towards the eighth championship.
The Cup trophy is making great strides, and Anelka, who is considered the most useless signing, has performed well... Well, let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about something more joyful. Barcelona’s performance in the past two weeks
Internally, it collapsed on three fronts at the same time, was eliminated from the Copa del Rey, fell four points behind in the league, and lost 1-4 to Valencia in the first round of the Champions League... When we interviewed Barcelona fans, we found that these angry additions
The Catalan people all pointed their finger at one person, that is Atletico Madrid's interim head coach, the 21-year-old Chinese Dick. Why is this happening? Now let us invite Atletico Madrid's interim head coach, Di.
Mr. Ke!”
There was sparse applause and a few scattered boos from the audience - obviously, the people present were all Real Madrid fans. They were still very unhappy with Atletico Madrid anyway. Apart from Barcelona being unlucky, they were probably the most unlucky.
What I like to see is Atletico Madrid being unlucky...
Dick walked out from the backstage calmly, without even looking at the audience - he naturally heard the boos coming from the audience. Since some of these Real Madrid fans booed him, there was no need for him to warmly greet him.
Cold ass.
After shaking hands with Pedrerol, Dick sat down on the sofa on his left, facing the audience sideways, and Pedrelor also facing sideways. The two sofas were arranged in an "eight" shape.
"The shape of the word, this is also the most common scene in talk shows.
"Mr. Dick, when you took over less than a month ago, Atletico Madrid's situation was very bad. However, after you became the interim head coach, Atletico Madrid has won consecutive victories. Now it is possible to avoid relegation and win the championship at the same time."
The winner of the King's Cup, I would like to congratulate you first..."
Pedrelor said calmly, since the main purpose of this talk show is to disgust Barcelona, he did not ask how Dick achieved such results, but directly introduced the topic
To the topic: "In the past two weeks, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona twice in a row, which severely damaged Barcelona's hopes of winning the King's Cup and the league. Barcelona fans think you are the one who suffered such a blow to Barcelona.
The main culprit is that you directly led the team to defeat them in the Copa del Rey and the league. The defeat in the Champions League was also directly related to Figo's injury against Atletico Madrid. What is your opinion on this?"
While he was talking incessantly, Dick kept his left hand on his chin and listened quietly to his words. After he finished speaking, Dick put his hand down and allowed himself to sit upright.
