Chapter 365 The Thickness of Atletico's Bench
Chapter 365 Atletico's bench thickness
Atlético de Madrid unexpectedly suffered a draw at the Valencia City Stadium, bringing their winning streak to an end!
After the game, it was obvious that most of the Spanish media looked relieved.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have won this round, and they have narrowed the gap with Atletico Madrid.
With Real Madrid now five points behind Atletico Madrid and six behind Barcelona in the standings, the gap at least doesn't look that big.
"Atletico Madrid's winning streak looks unstoppable this season, they have won thirteen games in a row, and everyone is waiting to see when Atletico Madrid's winning streak will stop. Vante was lucky. They took advantage of the chaotic period after Aguero was injured and scored a goal to equalize the score and draw Atletico Madrid at home! Atletico Madrid's winning streak this season has also stopped at the level of 13 games. ." "Marca" said in the report.
"Atletico Madrid can of course express disappointment that the winning streak has ended. At the press conference after the game, we can clearly see that Gao Bo's face is very bad. But on the other hand, 13 consecutive victories! Such a result has already created Atletico Madrid's winning streak in La Liga, and this record is only two games away from the longest winning streak in La Liga - the longest winning streak in La Liga was set by Real Madrid created it in the 1960-1961 season. Real Madrid achieved a terrifying record of fifteen consecutive victories in that season, but this is not the longest winning streak in the five major leagues. The longest winning streak in the five major leagues was set by Inter Milan in 2009. -The 17-game winning streak in 2007!!! From this point of view, Atletico Madrid's 13-game winning streak this season is quite shocking, they are just a little short of breaking the record!" - This is "Aspen" report.
The winning streak was ended, and Gao Bo was of course very upset, but he knew that this was bound to happen.
It's impossible for a team to win 38 games in a row? Unless all Atlético de Madrid players are gods.
Players are naturally human, and their state will be affected by various factors, and it is normal for a team to have ups and downs.
Moreover, the accumulated pressure of winning streak is not small. One advantage of tying this game is that the pressure of winning streak on the players is relieved.
What made Gao Bo unhappy was Aguero's injury.
According to the team doctor's examination, Aguero's ankle injury may take three weeks to four weeks to recover.
This cost Atlético Madrid a striker.
The league is gradually entering the middle stage, and various injuries may gradually increase.
This is only a single-line battle at Atletico Madrid. If it is a multi-line battle, the team's injured list is probably not just Aguero.
So at this time you can see the importance of the thickness of the bench. The reason why Barcelona and Real Madrid can always win the La Liga championship is because any of their bench players can be replenished in the long league schedule. The impact of injuries has affected these two teams with super thick benches. It is not a big impact, and for most La Liga teams, once a main player is injured, there is absolutely no player on the bench with the same strength as him - most La Liga teams do not It may be extravagant to have a group of players on the bench who are not too far from the main force, which puts too much financial pressure on them.
Real Madrid can use Kaka as a substitute. This alone is not comparable to other teams.
......
Atletico Madrid's bench thickness is also good.
Aguero was injured, and Diego Costa was able to come up immediately.
December 10, the fifteenth round of the league! Atlético de Madrid at home against Deportivo.
Deportivo Deportivo was the tycoon of La Liga at the beginning of this century. In the first few years of the new century, Super Deportivo broke the situation of Barcelona and Real Madrid competing for the league title, with Belleron as the soul and Tristan Deportivo Deportivo, the two top scorers with Makai, has become more stable. He has been ranked among the top three in Spain for five consecutive seasons, and has defeated Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus and Bayern Munich in European competitions at home and away. , is famous for his skillful technique and gorgeous coordination.
However, in the 2003/2004 season, the top scorer in Europe, Ma Kai, left the Bundesliga Bayern Munich with a price of 18.75 million euros, which made the coach Irue Taton lose his share.
Going into the 2004/2005 season, miserliness was the theme of Deportivo this summer. How can fans and players have hope for Deportivo without the introduction of players? Not only did they not have strong support, but Naibette and others went far away from the Premier League. In the end, Deportivo only won the ninth place in the league. Sadly left. In the transfer market in the summer of 2005, Laco continued the theme of "selling" stars. Luke and Pantiani left the team one after another, and the "Super Laco" era came to an end.
Deportivo Deportivo has lost its early-century splendor, but they are still a force to be reckoned with in La Liga.
Before this round of the league, the media began to hype Atletico Madrid's injury problems.
In addition to Aguero, Reyes was also injured in training and is expected to miss this game!
Suddenly two main players were injured, and many media already had some opinions on Atletico Madrid's next league games.
In the past, it was not like Atletico Madrid, who was in a crazy state at the beginning of the season, but in the middle and later stages of the season, due to the injuries of the team's players and the thickness of the bench, it gradually began to be weak, and the final league championship was still those two. Big tyrants are just competing.
Will the same be true for Atletico Madrid this season?
All the media are paying attention, especially Deportivo is not a weak team.
The thickness of Atletico Madrid's bench will be tested in the next league.
Mane and Diego Costa started the match in place of Reyes and Aguero.
Deportivo Deportivo did not rush on the road because Atletico Madrid lacked two main strikers, and they still adopted a stance of defending and counterattacking.
In the 30th minute of the game, Atlético de Madrid scored, and it was Diego Costa who started the game in place of Aguero!
His sideways volley shot after stopping the ball in the chest in the penalty area is very beautiful!
Soon, Atletico Madrid's goal came again.
Griezmann managed to get the ball near the penalty spot from the flank, and Mane, who came off the bench, took a shot and gave Atletico Madrid a two-goal lead.
The two players on the bench were very active in this game. The injury of the main force gave them an opportunity. If they performed better during this period, maybe the main force position would be taken away by them.
In the end, Atletico Madrid won the game against Deportivo Deportivo at home 3-0.
In the second half, after getting the ball in the middle, Griezmann kicked his foot from the penalty area and shot from the far corner of the goal, helping the team to seal the victory!
The victory of this game also allowed Atletico Madrid to stabilize the situation in the league, and also let people see the strength of Atletico Madrid's bench players.
Atletico Madrid's bench can also be topped at a critical moment.
