Super Marshal

At night, the entire Calderon Stadium is brightly lit, as bright as day.

The stadium stand is like a erupting volcano, erupting shocking passion from time to time.

The twenty-ninth round of La Liga is being held in the stadium, and Atletico Madrid is playing against Barcelona at home.

With the title of La Liga this season already locked, the biggest suspense in this game is no longer Atletico Madrid, but whether Barcelona, ​​who is a guest, can escape unscathed.

Because this La Liga giant is currently ranked fifth in the league, one step away from qualifying for the top four of the Champions League.

What makes Barcelona fans even more fortunate is that just this afternoon, Deportivo had an unexpected draw with Vallecano at home, only scoring one point, and their lead was greatly weakened.

This allowed Barcelona to see opportunities from top to bottom.

Barcelona this season is like a nerve knife, with ups and downs.

When it is good, it can win consecutive victories, and even staged a massacre of five or six goals, but when it is bad, it is enough to make people collapse.

One game a week, plus a 5-1 victory over Malaga in the previous round, Kluivert scored a hat-trick and was in good form, giving people the hope of beating Atletico Madrid away.

Therefore, this game has attracted much attention.

Even Barcelona's head coach Rexach said in an interview that the top four in the league has reached a critical point, and the team must work hard to win Atletico Madrid, reverse Deportivo and break into the top four.

Losing the top four and missing the Champions League next season, this is something no one can imagine.

Therefore, in this game, Barcelona, ​​who played away, looked very aggressive from the perspective of formation.

Four-four-two formation, a small diamond-shaped midfielder.

The defense line from left to right is Italian left-back Koko, De Boer, Puyol and Reziger.

Thiago Motta at the back of the midfield, Cocu on the left, Luis Enrique on the right, and Rivaldo on the front.

The double striker is a combination of Saviola and Kluivert.

From this lineup, it is not difficult to see that Rexach has only one goal, to seize the opportunity of Atletico Madrid's hard-fought fights and win the championship in advance, and to turn away from the guests and win Atletico Madrid in one fell swoop.

Gao Han also adjusted the starting lineup in this game and changed to a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is still Cech, and the defense is Antonio Lopez, Carvalho, Pablo Ibanez and Roberto.

The three midfielders are Seydu Keita, Xabi Alonso and Baptista.

The front trident is left winger Cristiano Ronaldo, right winger Torres, and Chico in the center.

Originally Gao Han's idea was to let the defensive midfielder Oscar Mena start, but after passing the training inspection, he gave up this idea because the Argentine veteran could no longer meet Gao Han's requirements.

This is also Gao Han's current summer transfer request to the board of directors, to give up Oscar Mena and other substitutes, and to introduce at least one strong substitute as a defensive midfielder.

Marcos Senna has always lacked a capable substitute. Once Brazil's midfielder is absent this season, Atletico Madrid will have to move around, which will affect the team's combat effectiveness to some extent.

With the current situation of the Sheet Army, the large frame is already very stable, and what is needed is local reinforcement.

Before the start of the game, Barcelona also lined up on both sides at the exit of the player channel as usual to welcome the Copa del Rey champion Atlético de Madrid into the field. The two sides also looked very friendly.

But as soon as the game started, the two sides immediately fought with bayonets.

Compared to Barcelona's desperate attempt to control the ball, Atletico Madrid's style of play is very simple and crude.

Hit the golf ball!

After Christan Val performed poorly and lost his main position, the highest point of Barcelona's defense line is the 1.8-meter Italian left-back Koko. The other three players, whether it is De Boer, Puyol or Rezzi All of them are below 1.8 meters.

But look at Atlético de Madrid, needless to say Kiko. Torres is 1.86 meters tall. Although the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo is only 17 years old, he is also 1.85 meters tall, which is considered among his peers. Stand out from the crowd.

But if it's just that, it's nothing. The most annoying thing is that the explosive power of Torres and Cristiano Ronaldo is shockingly fast.

As the center forward, Kiko frequently retreated to support, and the left and right wings were inserted obliquely.

It was such a simple routine, but it opened Barcelona's goal in just three minutes of the opening.

After Kiko retreated to catch the ball, he turned around and assisted. Torres threw off Koko from his right rib and crossed into the penalty area obliquely. After receiving the ball, he volleyed and scored.

The whole process happened so quickly that everyone in Barcelona was stunned.

After that, Barcelona fell into a dilemma. They wanted to counterattack, but they were worried about the defense.

This bad mentality finally made them show their weakness again in the 34th minute.

Kiko retreated, and Cristiano Ronaldo forced a breakthrough after receiving the ball from the left. After passing the opponent's two defenders in a row, he suddenly knocked back.

After scoring two goals in a row, Barcelona was defeated like a mountain, and Atletico Madrid firmly controlled the situation. Although the possession advantage was not obvious, the defense was very solid, and Barcelona did not have the slightest chance.

At the 77th minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid finally showed their power again.

Torres, who was suspended due to accumulating yellow cards in the last round, finally broke out in this game. Under the attack of Koko and De Boer, he forced a breakthrough and scored twice with a jump shot.

In this way, Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 3-0 at home!

Xue Linling's three goals made Rexach even refuse to shake hands with Gao Han after the game, and returned directly to the locker room.

Who told you to be so cold, so that you didn't save your old club any face?

…………

…………

They beat Malaga 5-1 in the previous round, and lost 0-3 away to Calderon in this round. Rexach's team continued to play the role of nerve knife, which also aroused the anger of Barcelona.

At the perfect time for a home draw with Deportivo, Barcelona not only failed to seize the opportunity, but lost instead, which made Barcelona's dissatisfaction with Rexach reach its peak.

In particular, the Barcelona head coach's refusal to shake hands with Gao Han after the game was bombarded by fans and the media.

Even Barcelona president Gaspart had to come forward, criticizing the players for their poor performance while apologizing for Rexach's irrational behavior.

With the current situation in Barcelona, ​​a summer coaching change has become a foregone conclusion.

The key question is that Gao Han, the original top favorite, has renewed his contract with Atletico Madrid, who is willing to take over the mess in Barcelona.

Also in the twenty-ninth round, Real Madrid, who had just experienced the nightmare of the Copa del Rey, quickly came out of the shadows and defeated Villarreal 3-0 at home. The humiliation of the Copa del Rey and the derby battle stabilized the league third position.

As for Benitez's Valencia, in line with the tradition of making a fortune silently, they defeated Sevilla 2-0 at home in a low-key manner and continued to occupy the second place in the league.

With the rise in the ranking of the Bat Corps, the coach Benitez has also become the most eye-catching discovery in La Liga this season, second only to Alpine.

It's just that relatively speaking, he is not as pleasing as Gao Han, whether it is his grades or his coaching style.

After playing Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid rushed to the Netherlands non-stop to challenge Feyenoord away.

This is the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-final knockout round.

Although Feyenoord is a team in the Eredivisie League, the overall strength is not weak. The double striker composed of the Eredivisie striker King Van Hoojedonk and the Danish killer Thomasson is even more threatening. Linked to AC Milan.

Japanese midfielder Shinji Ono is currently playing the main role in Feyenoord, so this game is also regarded by fans in East Asia as a Sino-Japanese duel.

But in this game, Shinji Ono did nothing throughout the game and failed to stabilize the midfield for Feyenoord at all, which directly led to Atletico Madrid firmly suppressing Feyenoord in the whole game, and they scored in the first half of the first half. In the forty-fifth minute before the end of the twenty-seventh game, Villa scored twice and successfully established the victory of the game.

However, in the second half, Feyenoord's coach Van Marwijk adjusted his tactics decisively. The left winger Robin van Persie came on as a substitute. After receiving a pass from the left side, he passed Dario Srna , Passed directly to the penalty area, assisted Van Hooyedank to score, and tied the score to one to two.

But after that, Feyenoord never got another chance.

The game ended with one to two, and Atletico Madrid successfully took away a victory from the away game.

However, the game made Gao Han feel deeply.

First of all, the high center forward Van Hooyedank is indeed quite good. Whether it is Carvalho or Marchena, facing this type of center, they are at a disadvantage in physical confrontation and it is very difficult to deal with it.

Dutch football has produced a large number of talents in the past few years, and there are Kluivert, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Hasselbaink, Roy Mackay, Hesselink, Van Yehutank and other strengths in the high center position. Pai Xing is indeed quite terrifying.

But this also reminds Gao Han that it is necessary to increase the training of powerful high school defender Pablo Ibanez.

This relatively rare powerful central defender in Spain has excellent physical confrontation, but his feet are delicate, which is quite good. He will be the third candidate for the central defender position after training.

As for the old courtier Santi, he has been reduced to the fourth central defender, and he doesn't even have a chance to play this season.

Another big discovery was the left winger that Feyenoord came off the bench, the teenager Robin van Persie.

Only 19 years old, tall but thin, very dexterous, with very delicate skills at his feet, especially when he received a long pass from the backcourt and unloaded the ball with his left foot, Gao Han was particularly impressed.

It was precisely because that kick stopped the ball very well that directly led to his next move being very good. It was even difficult for Dario Srna to complete an effective defense and could only be passed by the opponent.

Gao Han specially used his golden eyes to take a look, and found that the potential of this Van Persie was as high as 185. The standard superstar player, but his body is thin, which is a major hidden danger to his future achievements.

"Robin, this name is so good, where is Batman?" Gao Han laughed.

"After Bergkamp, ​​there was van der Vaart first, then Robben, and now there is Van Persie. The Netherlands really has a lot of talents!"

Because he was interested in van der Vaart and other players, he went to visit Ajax. Not only did he discover many powerful stars including Sneijder and De Jong, but he even discovered a player with a potential of up to One hundred and ninety high center.

The 21-year-old Swedish center, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

It's a pity that Atletico Madrid is now stable, and it is impossible for Gao Han to recruit all the players into the sheet army.

If they were all recruited, but failed to give enough competition training, wouldn't it be a mistake?

But Jorge Mendes is on the move.

With sharp eyes, European football can be said to be golden everywhere in the cold.
