Chapter 425 Unbeaten Season?
Chapter 425 Unbeaten in the season?
The time for the international break has brought some peace to the busy Espino training ground.
Although the addition of young players allows the team to continue training, the intensity is not as strong as when the first team is together.
Gao Bo also took this opportunity to let the players adjust a little and prepare for the next game.
During this time, Gao Bo was also reflecting on ending the game against Real Madrid at home in the twenty-ninth round of the league.
When Gao Bo summed up after the game, he actually admitted that his players were lucky to win.
Real Madrid's tactics were clearly successful, with goals at the start of both halves and their tight defense made it difficult for Atletico Madrid to get in.
The turning point of the game was Modric's long-range shot. If it wasn't for this long-range shot to open the situation, then Atletico Madrid immediately took advantage of the influence of the Real Madrid players' mentality to chase after the victory and quickly scored the second goal. , I am afraid that this game Atlético Madrid is really going to lose at home.
Even the final lore actually has an element of luck!
Imagining after the game, Gao Bo couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Mourinho is an opponent that can never be underestimated!
And now, the most important game of the team is, of course, the final of the Copa del Rey.
The date for the final is April 21, and before that, Atlético de Madrid will have to play three rounds of the league.
However, the opponents of the three rounds of the league are not worth the sleepless night, and he has already begun to prepare for the final of the King's Cup.
If you want to beat Real Madrid, the first question is...how to break Real Madrid's defense!
The fast counter-attack system that Mourinho has built at Real Madrid now shows its full potential in a few years.
Real Madrid's players have super strong personal ability, so behind the counterattack, Real Madrid's counterattack success rate is very high.
Just look at the two goals Atletico Madrid conceded in the last game.
Real Madrid's players are too good at one-on-one ability,
Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring ability has improved their counterattack success rate a lot.
In Gao Bo's view, if Real Madrid can't fight back, the first point is of course that they can't defend!
At least a goal must be scored before Real Madrid's counterattack tactics can't work... If Atletico Madrid scores early in the final, Atletico Madrid can also come back and counterattack.
Atlético de Madrid's tactics are based on the tactical cornerstone of high-wave formation with quick and short passing. Whether it is pressing the attack or recovering the defense, Atlético de Madrid's players can complete it well - just a slight adjustment in tactics.
If Real Madrid takes the lead, even Gao Bo has no certainty to win and can reverse it again.
........
The national team's game day ended soon, and the players returned to the training base one after another.
This time on the national team match day, Atletico Madrid had few injuries, only Raul Garcia had some muscle injuries.
Gao Bo is most concerned about whether Raul Garcia can make it to the final of the King's Cup on April 21. The answer from the medical team is that Raul Garcia's injury will only take a week to heal. Make it to the finals.
Gao Bo was relieved. As for the league, even if Atletico Madrid rotates a few players, there is no need to worry about any major mistakes in the team.
According to the league schedule, on April 4, the team will face Osasuna away.
But now there are some problems with this game time.
A turmoil is brewing in Spanish football due to the "payment door" incident.
The Spanish Players Union is linking up a number of La Liga teams and is preparing to launch a massive strike to boycott the 30th round of the 10-11 La Liga season, which will be held on April 4.
The root cause of this incident is the "payment door". In December 2010, the Spanish Players Union had a court case with the Spanish Professional League (LEP), because in La Liga and La Liga, more than half of the players of 19 clubs were in arrears. Salaries, the professional league said at a trial in December, could be resolved after three months by activating the player's wage guarantee fund, when Spain's Supreme Court ruled "on an afterthought."
But now three months later, the problem of arrears has not been resolved. Taking Betis as an example, the total amount of wages owed by this second division team is as high as 10 million euros. Eight years ago, the professional league teamed up with sports charities and insurance companies to set up a player salary guarantee fund, which aims to provide assistance when teams are in trouble. The reason why the safeguard fund has not come into effect so far is not because the measure is ineffective, but because it is difficult to operate. Dozens of teams with arrears owed wages totaling more than 200 million yuan, and the guarantee fund is also a drop in the bucket.
So the players union is brewing a strike, and the players union is contacting many La Liga teams to plan a strike before the 30th round of La Liga on April 3. However, this move has not been supported by all teams. Nevertheless, some teams have not expressed their views. Therefore, the possibility of a strike still exists.
So whether the 30th round of the league can be held as scheduled, I am afraid we will have to wait to know.
Despite this, Atlético de Madrid also made training arrangements in accordance with the original schedule.
After all, we still don't know if there will be a strike, so it's better to be prepared.
A few days before the game, the professional league and the union finally reached an agreement.
The professional league has established a fund to protect the wages of players, and the 30th round of the league will continue as usual.
Big clubs like Atlético Madrid naturally have no problem of arrears of wages, but it is also a fact that small teams in La Liga are struggling to survive.
However, Gao Bo can only express his helplessness. This is a matter of domestic football in Spain, and for Gao Bo, all he has to do is lead Atletico Madrid to better results.
On April 4th, the team faced Osasuna away.
Although this game is an away game, Atletico Madrid basically played the main force, except for Koke, who replaced Raul Garcia, who was absent due to injury.
In this game, Koke, who finally started the game, performed very well. He assisted Aguero to score in the 28th minute of the game, and then scored with a long-range shot in the 43rd minute of the game!
The young teenager has shown very good talent on the field.
And with these two goals, Atletico Madrid beat Osasuna 2-0 away.
After this game, a new problem arose.
Atlético de Madrid's current league title doesn't seem to be a problem, but what if the league is undefeated?
Now that 30 rounds of the league have passed, Atletico Madrid has won 27 wins and 3 draws in 30 games, and has zero losses!
So far, Atletico Madrid have not lost a game!
A lot of media have started to hype the concept - some media believe that Atletico Madrid has a chance to win the league title with an unbeaten season!
With eight rounds remaining in the league, this unbeaten record can also be said.
Judging from the current state of Atletico Madrid and their opponents in the next eight rounds of the league, Atletico Madrid is really hopeful to complete the goal of unbeaten season!
