Chapter 223 Tacit Understanding Ball?

Except for Getafe's media, other media have begun to downplay the topic of Getafe's championship.

Of course, it won't work if it is very bluntly downplayed. The flaws are too obvious and arouse suspicion.

But now they have a perfect excuse, or opportunity.

Because of the last round of the league, Getafe's opponent is Atletico Madrid.

Chang Sheng is the head coach of Getafe. The meaning of this game is self-evident.

But it's not that simple.

Atletico Madrid won the 41st round of the league, while Real Betis lost, and now both sides have the same points, 79.

Atletico Madrid's two-round match against Real Betis in the league had a worrying result-they drew Real Betis 1:1 away, and the pig slaughterhouse defeated their opponent 2:1. One win and one tie, although they are tied, they are now ranked third in the league. This is the effect of the mutual record of the two sides confronting each other.

In the last round of the league, as long as they can defeat Getafe, no matter what happens to Real Betis, they will be successfully promoted and return to the First Division after only one season of relegation.

Getafe has already won the league championship, and it stands to reason that they have no motivation for the next game.

It's like they tied Real Betis immediately after they were promoted four rounds ahead of schedule.

The pro-Atletico Madrid media at the time were very dissatisfied, thinking that Getafe had no professional ethics.

This shows that this team has a criminal record.

Now that they can shake hands with Real Betis after relegation ahead of schedule. They almost lost to their opponents, why can't they lose to Atletico Madrid after winning the championship early?

Anyway, for them, the result of the last game is not important at all.

In this way, they can also sell face to Atletico Madrid and please the top teams in the Madrid area, which is also good for Getafe's future. With this act of goodwill from them, the bad relationship between the two teams can be repaired. Maybe a cooperative relationship can be established. Getafe has been promoted to the first division, and they need to add higher-level and low-level players. So wouldn't it be nice to loan some quality players from Atlético de Madrid but couldn't play in Atletico Madrid?

Moreover, this game is still Atletico Madrid's home court, with their strength. Now being forced to a dead end and having to fight with his back to the wall, this combat power must be no small matter. Atletico Madrid lost to Getafe in the away game, so let's not talk about it,

Many teams perform differently at home and away, even Real Madrid and Barcelona are not exempt from this. Not to mention Getafe.

Atletico Madrid is at their home court, trying their best to win, can't they win a Getafe?

Anyway, the media analyzed and analyzed, and they all felt that Getafe had no reason to fight Getafe in the away game. Things like this happen in Spanish football from time to time. It's not a rare thing, so everyone knows it well, and it's not surprising.

There are many factions in Spanish football, and if there are factions, there will naturally be opposition. Where there is confrontation, there will naturally be alliances, which have created the basis for the emergence of tacit balls.

Fans who watch La Liga know that there are often some teams who play tacit balls. Well-connected teams benefit from tacit balls, while unconnected teams are killed because of tacit balls.

For example, in the 0304 and 0405 seasons, there was a situation of collectively playing tacitly at the last moment. The victims were newly promoted Levante and Alaves.

Don't think that only Chinese football has black calls for match-fixing. Developed European football also has them, but they do it better, or from a certain point of view, they are legal match-fixing.

A tacit ball is a variation of this.

It seems that there is no conflict of interest on the surface, but in fact there will always be someone who benefits, and this benefit is not the kind of money that people think, and it may even be that after one or two seasons, the team can start from the transfer market. Another team gets a player for a low price in return for their handicap.

Even the tacit ball does not require the two clubs to get together to discuss anything at the time. They only need a tacit understanding, and they can automatically play a tacit ball. Otherwise, how can it be called a "tacit ball"? For example, there are many royal teams in Spain. Most of them support centralization, that is, royal power, and they are considered royal. Barcelona, ​​Athletic Bilbao, and Atletico Madrid can be regarded as turning over the royal family.

This is only a rough distinction, and there are many detailed distinctions in between. Each team may have more than one label.

If Real Madrid and Barcelona run into a team with a good relationship at a critical moment when they are competing for the championship, then this team may take the initiative to sell favors to Real Madrid to help them beat Barcelona.

Chinese La Liga fans must be familiar with this phenomenon. In the future, Getafe has always been regarded as Real Madrid's "point-giving boy" and will help Real Madrid at many critical moments.

Atletico Madrid, out of hatred for Real Madrid, can also make a move like losing 0:6 at home to Barcelona.

But if you look into it, Real Madrid definitely haven't approached Getafe and asked them to hand over the points to themselves. Because there is no need, Getafe knows what to do.

Doing so can increase the good relationship between them and the giants of Real Madrid. Otherwise, how can Getafe always get excellent players from the Real Madrid youth academy? This is their reward for insisting on sending points.

Usually this kind of tacit understanding is rare, but at the end of the season, when there are teams that need to relegation, need to upgrade, need to win the championship, they will appear concentratedly.

Both Getafe and Atletico Madrid are teams in the Madrid region, although Getafe annexed a team called "Real Madrid Supporters" when several teams merged. But Flores, an anti-Real Madridist, has been in charge of Getafe for nine years, and this team is not on the same road as Real Madrid. If they want to become Real Madrid's loyal younger brothers, they have to wait until Torres, a member of the Real Madrid Club, is the chairman of the club.

Today, they may not be able to get involved with Atletico Madrid. In the last round of wanting nothing. Getafe's loss to Atletico Madrid is reasonable, and there is no fault at all.

Even if everyone knows that this is Getafe's handicap, there is no evidence, both sides will definitely not admit it, and there is no reason to investigate-don't you allow the team that won the championship early to recuperate and play with a bunch of substitutes? If this is all considered match-fixing, then the sport of football should be banned.

so. Even in terms of match-fixing, Chinese football still has a lot to learn from Western football, and there is still a long way to go.

Talk too much...

Anyway. Even in Spanish football, at the end of the season, it is normal for any moths to appear. The tacit ball is one of the simplest and most common ones.

Even the media and fans will not make a fuss, they think it is normal.

In addition, even if Chang Sheng wants to beat Atletico Madrid away and avenge himself, his players may not think about it...

Getafe still has the task of the Copa del Rey semi-finals. What if a player is injured in a deadlock with Atletico Madrid in the league?

Among them, the most active media hype this analysis result is the pro-Atletico Madrid media.

What a sarcasm.

When Getafe shook hands with Real Betis after relegation ahead of schedule, the media was furious like someone had stabbed their ass. Angrily denounce Getafe as a group of unprofessional players. Even if such a team wins the league championship, it will not be convincing, because they are despicable thieves, not upright kings!

Now the media has begun to hype that Getafe will release water in the last round of irrelevant games. Play tacit ball.

At this moment, what kind of professional ethics was completely thrown out of the sky by them. They wished that Getafe did not have any ethics at all, and it would be best to raise their hands and surrender. As for the accusation that Getafe had no professional ethics at the beginning, it is now advocating that Getafe voluntarily abandons morality. These two completely different things appeared to them, and it seemed that they did not violate harmony...

So to say that the media talks about conscience and morality is the biggest joke.

They are the pursuit of interests and the captives of readers' attention. They don't care about morality, as long as it is profitable, the cost of being shameless is really too low for them...

※※※

A tacit understanding ball is an unreliable thing. It is also impossible for Atlético Madrid to go straight to say good things, let Getafe play tacitly, show mercy, and raise their hands high.

What team are they?

Although they have always regarded themselves as "victims", "oppressed" and "rebellious revolutionaries" in front of Real Madrid. But in front of the hillbilly Getafe, they still rely on their status.

How could it be possible to do such a humble thing?

In fact, it's quite normal. You can't ask a team as big as Atletico Madrid to act like a loser and a victim in front of any team. Otherwise, how could they be the third largest club in Spain? Does it work if you don't rely on victories and championships, but on a charming and pitiful appearance? Obviously not.

The media hyped that Getafe and Atletico Madrid might play tacitly, but Atletico Madrid didn't pay attention to Getafe at all.

Their reasons are similar to those of the media, except for the tacit understanding of the ball.

They think that even if Getafe, which has already won the championship in advance, plays with all the main players, the players' minds may not be on the game, but on other things. Such as the Copa del Rey, such as holidays.

For a long time, Changsheng has always used the league championship as a bait, like a carrot on a stick. This goal is the spiritual pillar and source of all motivation for the Getafe team.

Now that they have won the league championship, according to common sense, that tone must be vented, and once vented, it will be difficult to cheer up.

If Getafe does not win the championship one round ahead of schedule, Atletico Madrid will still be worried. After all, in order to win the league championship at that time, Getafe would definitely fight against Atletico Madrid away.

now...

What if the two sides still have a chance to talk directly?

At Atletico Madrid's home court, Calderon, can Getafe still steal the three points?

Atletico Madrid does not consider this possibility at all.

And Atletico Madrid believes that in Calderon, Getafe will suffer unprecedented pressure!

In the Madrid area, the Calderon Stadium is second only to the Bernabéu Stadium.

Teams playing here will bear a heavy psychological burden, let alone a team like Getafe.

Although it seems that the last round needs to be played against Getafe, the situation is dangerous, but Atletico Madrid is full of confidence in this.

Some people even feel sad.

Half a season ago, Atlético de Madrid had been on a winning streak and their results fluctuated. When they were ranked the lowest in the league, they were even outside the tenth place.

Look at their distress, how can there be any demeanor of a big brother in the Madrid area?

All this reached a climax after they were beaten 0:3 by Getafe in the away game.

During that time, many people bad-mouthed Atletico Madrid, and countless people laughed at them, ridiculed them, and praised Getafe. It seems that Getafe has replaced Atletico Madrid and has become one of the best teams in the Madrid area.

When the upstart Getafe made its debut, the decadent and downtrodden Atlético de Madrid deserved only to rot and stink slowly in the garbage dump.

Atletico Madrid head coach Marcos Alonso is also under tremendous pressure.

There was a rumor in the newspaper every day that he was going to be fired by the irascible old Hill—even he himself believed it, because Old Hill was notoriously impatient. Can you stay on the team?

Who would have thought that Old Hill did not mention the matter of dismissing him, as if nothing had happened.

Marcos Alonso is solid.

Then he began to reflect on his various coaching ideas in the first half of the season, especially the game against Getafe, which became the focus of his research.

Then he found that he and Atletico Madrid had made mistakes. This is the quagmire of the Second Division. If you want to break out from here, toughness is more important than skill, and practicality is more important than gorgeousness.

So he began to adjust his coaching thinking.

In the second half of the season, Atletico Madrid played tougher and simpler and more practical football.

Although it is not good-looking, the benefits are real and obvious-Atletico Madrid's ranking has begun to rise steadily, and now they have risen to third in the league with one round before the end of the league!

An upgrade is in sight!

Atletico Madrid had a magnificent Phoenix Nirvana in the second half of the season.

Many people may only remember how Getafe won the league title despite the economic crisis, but Atletico Madrid's performance is also very good.

This is really a trick of good fortune. Who would have thought that a team that ranked tenth in the league would be able to re-promote to the First Division?

If there is no Getafe, Atletico Madrid can definitely be elected as the most inspirational team in the second division this season.

In addition to hyping the tacit ball, one thing the media is still doing is hyping the contradiction between Changsheng and Atletico Madrid. This can be said to be a repertoire between Changsheng and Atletico Madrid.

It would be even better if it could spark a war of words on both sides.

Chang Sheng did not disappoint them.

At his regular press conference in midweek, he took the initiative to provoke the war: "Remember what I said? Atletico Madrid will definitely not be promoted. I assure you that what I said is the truth. Maybe you already know it. From last season's relegation, to this season's promotion and championship, which time did I say I didn't do it? So I will do what I said!"

After speaking, he grinned and looked at the reporters.

That smile means that he has once again provoked a war, but not against the media, but against the third largest club in Spanish football, Atletico Madrid.

He always seems to be fighting, never letting up. . . )
