Chapter 148 Battle against Manchester United!Ferguson: I'm old, don't fool me! [A big chapter with [-] words, please beg me to subscribe]

Entering February, La Liga once again ushered in a wave of intensive schedule.

On November 2, the 2th round of La Liga.

After just playing in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Atletico Madrid was obviously not in good condition. After the team rotated, they were tied 0-0 by Osasuna in the away game and failed to win.

Coincidentally, Real Madrid also drew 1-1 with Espanyol in this round.

Barcelona defeated Tenerife 6-0 away from home.

Deportivo lost to Alaves 0-1 at home.

Valencia defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-1 at home.

Overall, the performance of the top-ranked teams, except for Barcelona, ​​is not very satisfactory.

……

After 23 rounds of La Liga, other European leagues have basically been suspended.

The international players have been transferred to the national teams of various countries to prepare for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan this summer.

But in this case, La Liga continues.

2月5日，第24轮，皇马客场1比1战平巴拉多利德。

Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 at home with Tenerife.

The Madrid duo suffered two consecutive draws at the same time.

Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Deportivo all came together to win.

But for now, none of these teams can shake the position of the Madrid duo, and they basically have no chance of winning the championship.

……

On November 2, the 9th round of La Liga.

Teams such as Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Deportivo all drew 0-0.

Atletico Madrid lost 1-2 to Real Sociedad in the away game.

Real Madrid defeated Las Palmas 1-0 at home.

As a result, the points gap between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid has once again expanded to 5 points.

Especially in the recent period, Atletico Madrid has been unbeaten for three rounds, which has caused Yang Hao's team to be controversial.

Yang Hao and the coaching staff have also conducted an in-depth analysis of this situation. The core reason is that the international players have been transferred to the national team, resulting in the current overall strength of Atletico Madrid's remaining players being insufficient.

Coupled with the continuous fighting after the winter break and the ups and downs of the players' status, this has resulted in the team's bad situation at this stage.

Yang Hao said in an interview with the media that the ups and downs in status during this period were within the team's expectations.

"If we look at our performance since February, although we have declined slightly, our overall performance is still very good."

Yang Hao does not feel that the team has encountered a big problem. He believes that with the end of the national team game and the return of the international players, Atletico Madrid will regain its own rhythm.

But at the coaching staff meeting, Yang Hao believed that the challenge was still huge.

The national team training will last until February 2, and many international players, including the Spanish international, will not be able to return to the team until the 13th at the earliest.

On the 16th, the team faced Real Mallorca at home.

Aragones' teams are notoriously difficult to play against.

But this is not the point.

The key is that on the 20th, Atletico Madrid will face their opponent, Manchester United, in the third round of the second stage of the Champions League group stage.

In this case, Yang Hao must make some choices.

After the international players returned to the team in a hurry, it was impossible to play two games in a row, and they were both hard games.

And if you want to blame it, you really have to blame the Spanish Football Federation.

Just like the Premier League, the schedule is obviously more reasonable than La Liga.

Especially after entering February, Manchester United only played two games in the Premier League. The international players went to the national team to report, and the Premier League was also suspended.

Of course, this is mainly because Ferguson gave up the FA Cup early.

It can also be seen from this point that the Premier League considers the national team training in its schedule.

Looking back at La Liga, during the national team training camp, the league continues as usual. Isn’t this nonsense?
Therefore, after losing to Real Sociedad, Yang Hao publicly accused the Spanish Football Association and La Liga of not being scientific enough in scheduling and not taking into account the load of La Liga teams.

"The national team training itself is already a very troublesome thing. From this season to now, in addition to September, October and November, there is now February, the following March and April, we all have to suffer. The trouble with the national team training.”

Yang Hao's appeal also received support from almost all La Liga head coaches.

Real Madrid coach Vicente del Bosque believes that the league should be suspended during the national team training. If the schedule needs to be compressed due to major competitions, the league can be started earlier instead of suspending all teams and all teams as it is now. The players are desperate.

Deportivo's head coach Irueta's recent results are not very satisfactory. He also supports Yang Hao's view and believes that the La Liga schedule should be more reasonable and scientific and should not be decided on the head.

"Today's players are under too much pressure to compete!"

Gradually, this complaint meeting initiated by Yang Hao became more and more popular in Spanish football.

The Spanish Football Association and La Liga have also come forward to reassure, saying that they will listen carefully to the voices from the clubs.

"We hope to achieve a balance between business and humanity." La Liga Vice President Jose Astyasalan came forward to express his position.

Not only that, Astyasalan also revealed that La Liga will usher in a major change in the near future.

In the past period, the reform of La Liga, initiated by Atletico Madrid and followed by other clubs, has reached a basic consensus, and even Real Madrid and Barcelona have made it clear that they are willing to negotiate.

Astyasalan revealed that this reform will be comprehensive and involve all aspects.

This time, the Spanish Football Federation will not intervene in the reform of La Liga, but is willing to help and cooperate with La Liga to find a path more suitable for the development of La Liga in order to change the current situation of widespread debt among La Liga clubs.

With the announcement of Astyasaram, this long-rumored news has finally come to an end.

……

"José Astyasalán and Xavi Tebas both called me."

In the Calderon Stadium, in the office of Chairman Cerezo, Yang Hao, Xiao Hill and Cerezo, who had just finished the club's high-level meeting, were sitting in front of the coffee table on the sofa and chatting about these two things. What just happened.

Yang Hao lit a fire in Spanish football, burning La Liga to the point of being devastated.

In the end, two vice-chairmen had to be dispatched to stabilize Yang Hao.

If Yang Hao comes forward to attack La Liga at this moment, they will be in even more trouble.

"Recently, there have been discussions within La Liga. The schedule issue has been around for a long time, and it is indeed very troublesome. It is also difficult to communicate and coordinate the time with UEFA and FIFA," Xiao Hill said with a bitter smile. .

This time he finally saw Yang Hao's influence clearly.

Normally he doesn't say anything, but when he fired the shots, the whole Spanish football world was shaken.

"This reform is very intensive, but now we have basically reached a consensus. Next, the management and operation of La Liga will develop towards a professional level, and each club will play more of a supervisory role." Cerezo is Atletico Madrid's representative in La Liga.

Speaking of this La Liga, it is actually quite interesting. It was established even earlier than the Premier League.

The abbreviation is La Liga, the full name is Spanish Professional League, responsible for the management and operation of La Liga and La Liga.

But in the past 20 years or so, La Liga has been in everyone's impression that they are just waiting to die.

Basically, apart from arranging the schedule, I didn't do much else.

For example, broadcast fees and commercial sponsorships are all negotiated by each club, and La Liga basically does not participate.

This has led to the fact that La Liga has little power to a large extent and is in name only. Naturally, there is no funding, and basically no one is willing to be the chairman.

Therefore, in the past few years, the presidents and vice-presidents of La Liga have generally been elected by the presidents of all La Liga and La Liga clubs, and whoever they like can be elected.

The current president is Daniel Libre, the president of Espanyol.

The current vice-presidents are Jose Astia Salan, the president of Real Sociedad, and Xavi Tebas, the president of the Segunda División Badajoz Club.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Astyasalan would be the next president of La Liga, but later he took care of the positions of La Liga and Real Sociedad at the same time, resulting in him failing to do well in both, and resigned as president of Real Sociedad midway. position, but also left Real Sociedad with a debt of more than 1000 million euros.

The result is that, since then, Real Sociedad have gone against Astyasalan every time they vote.

There is also Xavi Tebas, who is the next chairman of La Liga after Astia Salan. After the 13-year reform, the chairman became full-time, but how well he did it? Fans in 2023 estimate They are all familiar with each other, this guy is also very capable of tossing.

The advantage of this part-time model is obvious, that is, labor costs are very low.

For example, the chairman's annual salary is only 40 euros.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, doing things unprofessionally.

Just imagine, such an important position is handed over to such a group of people who can't even run the club well. The results can be imagined.

The reason why Yang Hao's proposal to Cerezo and Hill was immediately supported by so many people, and even Real Madrid's Florentino clearly agreed, shows that both La Liga and La Liga are very concerned about the situation in La Liga. Disillusioned and desperate for change.

"This time, we have reached a consensus that professional matters should be left to professionals. La Liga should take the initiative to learn from the Premier League, introduce high-level professional talents, and rectify the current chaos in La Liga."

The 42 clubs in La Liga and La Liga will become board members and will only be responsible for supervision and will not participate in direct operations and management.

Two very important measures are that the broadcast rights of La Liga and La Liga will begin to be bundled.

At present, this item has been recognized by Real Madrid and Barcelona. The next step is to formulate a timetable, coordinate the current contract time of each club, and reasonably distribute the interests of all parties.

Another very important measure is that La Liga should begin to embrace globalization.

"Florentino is very supportive of this move. He said the same thing as you. Football will enter the era of globalization in the future. La Liga must seize the opportunity, vigorously develop the global market, and make up for the natural shortcomings of Spanish." Cerezo said.

There is definitely a disadvantage in terms of language, but La Liga also has its own advantages.

Yang Hao nodded. It is not surprising that Florentino would agree now, because it is only the beginning of 2002.

In a few years, Real Madrid will become addicted to selling broadcasting fees and image rights from all over the world, earning hundreds of millions of euros every year. If they come over to tie it up with other clubs, it will not be as difficult as usual.

Of course, from the current stage, La Liga is collectively going overseas to develop overseas markets, which is also good for giant teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Yang Hao is now a shareholder of Atletico Madrid, and his shares will become larger and larger in the future, so of course he hopes that La Liga can follow the development, especially to catch up with this wave of globalization.

"After the reform, the most important thing is to first clarify the distribution of interests between La Liga and La Liga, as well as each club, and formulate a relatively reasonable and fair distribution mechanism, just like the Premier League. Therefore, at this stage, business development capabilities are not the most important. important."

Yang Hao thought for a while and suggested: "Perhaps, you can consider a professional who is good at financial management and has a background in financial consulting."

"Yes, it's just like what you said before, first clean up the ditch and then open the gate to release the water." Cerezo agreed very much.

La Liga is currently recruiting external players, and headhunters are also on the lookout for senior talents in related fields.

In addition to the La Liga CEO, there are several other executives.

In the past, La Liga could neither pay salaries nor have good resources on hand, so it naturally could not attract high-level talents. But it is different now. The reformed La Liga is still very attractive.

Of course, it is not easy to find a suitable one.

La Liga is different from other companies or institutions. It not only needs to understand the sports industry, but also be familiar with professional football, have a background in financial consulting, and even be able to handle various complex relationships...

If you think about it, you know that this position is still very challenging.

Of course, the salary is also very high.

From the original 40 euros, it has been increased to 150 million euros in one breath.

In addition, there is an additional bonus incentive mechanism for outstanding performance.

"Florentino feels that this annual salary, coupled with the influence of La Liga, is still very attractive."

Yang Hao nodded, it was indeed not bad.

"This time we came forward to advocate, and many people supported us in running for the chairman or vice chairman of the board of directors."

Since the board of directors is not directly involved in management and operation, the chairman or vice-chairman plays more of a leading and supervisory role.

Yang Hao and Xiao Xie looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"You can just decide on this kind of thing. I have no objection." Yang Hao said.

He now holds 15% of Atletico Madrid's shares, making him the second largest shareholder, more than Cerezo and second only to the Hill family.

But Yang Hao also understood many things.

Not to mention that he is only the second largest shareholder now, even if he becomes the largest shareholder, he will still need Cerezo, Hill and other Spaniards to take the lead, because it is more convenient for the Spaniards to handle many things.

"By the way, how is old Mr. Hill doing lately?" Yang Hao asked with concern.

Since retiring, Hill has rarely appeared at the Calderon Stadium, and lives more on the farm in the suburbs.

But Yang Hao heard that he recently suffered from high blood pressure and was admitted to the hospital.

Xiao Hill shook his head helplessly, "It's an old problem. He's out of danger now, but he still needs to be hospitalized for observation."

"Bring me your greetings. I've been too busy recently."

"I know."

There is a game every three days, not to mention Yang Hao and the players, even the fans watching the game feel overwhelmed.

What can be done?

This is how the schedule is arranged.

"If possible, tell him to remember to watch the game on March 3." Yang Hao laughed.

Little Hill smiled and nodded. If he could really defeat Real Madrid at the centenary celebration, his father would be extremely happy.

"By the way, Yang, don't put too much pressure on the second stage of the group stage." Xiao Hill advised politely.

"Yeah, just try your best." Cerezo also spoke up.

They were very surprised and very satisfied that Atletico Madrid could stand out from the first stage of the group stage.

The team's situation is also obvious now, and the pressure of the game is indeed too great.

Especially in the second group stage of the Champions League, the champion teams of the other three major leagues were drawn. This is simply outrageous.

Today's Atletico Madrid is progressing hand in hand in La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League, which is satisfactory enough.

"I know, but we still have to rush forward. Once the difficulty is over, we will make progress!" Yang Hao said.

Last season, he also encountered similar problems. After overcoming them, the team's overall strength also improved.

If you can't get through, you can only hope for next season.

But multi-front combat is not a challenge that all giants, no, all strong teams, must face?
Only by overcoming this difficulty can Atletico Madrid be qualified to say that they are a strong team.

"Leave the team's affairs to me. You should hurry up and find ways to make more money. Don't let the news about poaching players spread all day long. Atletico Madrid will be like a player supermarket." Yang Hao laughed.

Xiao Hill and Cerezo looked at each other and laughed too.

But easier said than done?
Atletico Madrid is still in debt.

According to Yang Hao's plan, part of the debt will be settled first, and then the training base will be expanded, which will require the purchase of land around Mahadahonda and investment in infrastructure and equipment. This is also a very large expense.

But the training base must be expanded. The hardware of Atletico Madrid's training base is now so poor that the youth team's home court doesn't even have stands.

There is also a serious shortage of training grounds. Many age groups share the same venue, resulting in training times having to be staggered repeatedly.

If the training base can be expanded, not more, but two or three more venues can be arranged for the youth team, it will be much more generous.

There is also the training building for the first team. After being renovated several times, the condition is still quite bad and needs to be expanded or renovated.

All in all, Atletico Madrid's foundation is too weak and there are too many places where they need to spend money.

……

Round 26 of La Liga.

The injuries of Lucio and Baraja meant that they did not have to go back to participate in the national team competition and could stay in Mahdahonda to prepare and adjust their condition.

When the international players returned from the national team, Yang Hao did not arrange for them to start immediately, but instead reserved their strength for the Champions League group stage next week. This resulted in Atletico Madrid playing poorly in the game at the Calderon Stadium. Very difficult.

Aragones' team has always been known for playing tough games. Although Eto'o and other stars did not start, the overall strength cannot be underestimated.

The two sides fought hard for more than an hour, and it was not until the 65th minute of the second half that Cambiaso's shot helped Atletico take the lead.

This was also the only goal in the game.

1-0, Atletico Madrid narrowly defeated Real Mallorca at home and scored precious 3 points.

In another game played almost at the same time, Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Athletic Bilbao in an away game, suffering its second defeat of the season.

Many international players were absent from this game, leaving Del Bosque unable to win the Basque Lions at the San Mames Stadium.

This defeat also shortened Real Madrid's lead from 5 points to 2 points.

The battle for the La Liga title is heating up again.Valencia drew with Villarreal 1-1 away from home, while Barcelona reversed Deportivo La Coruña 3-2.

……

"I'm telling you, Ferguson will definitely regret letting Stam go."

After playing Real Mallorca, Atletico Madrid's preparations shifted to the second group stage of the Champions League.

Yang Hao also received information from Manchester in time.

Neither Ronny Johnson nor Wes Brown will appear in Manchester United's squad for the trip to Madrid.

Among them, Wes Brown was seriously injured not long ago, and his comeback is expected to be at the end of the season; while Ronny Johnson was seriously injured in October, and there have been rumors that he is about to come back.

Now it seems that the time for comeback is still uncertain.

Among the three remaining central defenders of Manchester United, David May has rarely played in games and is praised by many Manchester United fans as a player who won the Triple Crown; French central defender Blanc is already 36 years old; O'Shea, who is only 20 years old, is still very immature.

In this case, there is news from the outside that Ferguson is considering using Gary Neville as a central defender.

"If this is the case, then we can launch an attack at home." Juanma Lillo said happily.

According to the speculation of Atletico Madrid's coaching staff, Manchester United's starting lineup is likely to be 4141.

Goalkeeper: Butters;

Defence: Sylvester, Blanco, Gary Neville and Phil Neville;

Midfield: Roy Keane deep; Giggs, Veron, Scholes and Beckham forward;

Forward: Ruud van Nistelrooy.

It is obvious that Manchester United's entire midfield and frontcourt are excellent, but the defense is a major weakness, especially the center and right wing.

During the Christmas period, Yang Hao had already discovered Manchester United's defensive problems when he went to the UK to watch the game.

Now it's even more exposed.

I still remember that Yang Hao deliberately mentioned Stam in front of Ferguson, and Ferguson's reaction was very interesting.

It is estimated that he was already regretting it at that time, but he just didn't want to admit it in his heart.

In Yang Hao's previous life, many people were asking why Manchester United's performance plummeted after Ferguson retired?
The answer is simple. Ferguson's team strategy has always attached great importance to local players.

For example, around 2010, when the team needed to be reorganized, instead of introducing high-level foreign players as soon as possible, he spent a lot of money to sign Phil Jones, Smalling and Ashley Young?

You know, the transfer fees for signing these three local players are enough for Manchester United to buy and sell in the transfer market.

But this has also delayed Manchester United's restructuring progress.

Back to the present, why would Ferguson want to sell Stam?

Some said it was an error in data analysis, others said it was a conflict between Stam and Ferguson, and some said it was Stam writing an autobiography...

Of course, Yang Hao didn't know the real reason, but he was wondering whether it was possible that he wanted to make room for local players such as O'Shea and Wes Brown?
In the past few years since the turn of the century, Manchester United was not actually wealthy. Although Ferguson had not fallen out with the two major shareholders because of the Rock of Gibraltar stallion incident in early 2002, Manchester United could never afford a transfer that was too expensive. Will invest.

But this summer, Van Nistelrooy spent 2850 million euros, and Veron spent another 4260 million euros. The two players spent a total of more than 7 million euros, plus other signings.

Among the players sold, only Andy Cole was sold for 1220 million euros.

In this case, does Manchester United also need to sell a high-priced player to cover the club's transfer expenses?
When Beckham and the other four golden midfielders cannot move, the most valuable player in Manchester United's team is of course Stam.

Coincidentally, Manchester United has emerged two young players, Wes Brown and O'Shea, who are both quite good and worth cultivating.

The 36-year-old veteran Blanco and the 32-year-old veteran Ronny Johnson could still serve for a while, so Ferguson added two to one and sold Stam directly.

Yang Hao feels that this possibility is also very high.

It is estimated that even Ferguson himself could not have imagined that Ronny Johnson and Wes Brown would suffer serious injuries this season, causing Manchester United's current defense to be stretched.

This experience forced Ferguson to face the defensive weakness, especially when his performance in the Premier League and Champions League was not very satisfactory. Only in 2002 did he make up his mind to sign Ferdinand for 4600 million euros.

Ferguson's affection for local players is understandable, because both Manchester United and Liverpool can be regarded as the most traditional teams in England, and they are also the teams that English players like to go to most.

But now, when Manchester United faces Atletico Madrid, Ferguson can only arrange the central defender combination of Gary Neville and Blanco.

Or maybe he's willing to let O'Shea take the risk.

"In addition to the defense, Manchester United's midfield has always had problems. Veron has never been able to integrate into Manchester United's midfield. I think we can do some work in this area."

In order to help Veron integrate into the team, Ferguson took great pains and even adopted the 4141 tactic.

This is the tactical play in which Keane stays behind and Veron and Scholes are in the middle.

From the original intention, Veron is indeed a very good core midfielder, but as Scholes himself said later, when Manchester United signed Veron, everyone, including himself, felt that he might want to Sold away.

Coupled with sky-high transfer prices and huge annual salary...all these factors have resulted in Veron being unable to integrate into Manchester United.

The playing rhythm of both sides is obviously not on the same channel. Atletico Madrid only needs to take advantage of this to have the opportunity to make the Manchester United midfielder unable to operate.

"From a statistical point of view, Veron has played 29 times for Manchester United on various fronts so far. The Red Devils have only won 16 games, with a winning rate of 55%. In the 6 games in which Veron was absent, Manchester United won 5 games. Won [-] of them.”

The statistical data is somewhat biased and cannot be guaranteed to be objective. To a certain extent, it reflects Manchester United's current midfield problem.

More importantly, Argentine players are always not welcomed when playing in the UK and their situation is even worse.

"Then it's settled!" Yang Hao immediately made the decision.

Baraja and Lucio will return in this game, which will further enhance the strength of Atletico Madrid's midfield and defense.

Playing at home and facing Manchester United, Yang Hao still wanted to compete with Ferguson.

……

"Damn it, didn't you say it would rain?"

On the evening of October 2, Calderon Stadium in Madrid.

When Ferguson walked out of the tunnel, he looked up at the night sky and found it was pitch black, but there was no rain at all.

He felt a little disappointed.

The weather in the UK has always been rainy, and Manchester United is very experienced in playing games on rainy days.

"Sir, welcome to Calderon."

Yang Hao came up to him with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand towards Ferguson from a distance, looking particularly enthusiastic.

But for some reason, Ferguson felt a sudden change in his heart when he saw him like this.

This kid is a smiling tiger.

"It seems that you are full of confidence tonight." Ferguson shook hands with Yang Hao and gave a test.

"Aren't you the same? I saw your lineup and it was beyond my expectation." Yang Hao said with some exaggeration.

Ferguson snorted and laughed twice, I believe in a big-headed ghost.

Before the game, those damn British media had already revealed what color underwear I was wearing. You said it was unexpected?Do you really think I'm old and easy to fool?

But Ferguson did feel a little uneasy.

Manchester United players are more accustomed to playing a 442-5-4231 double forward tactic. This season due to the arrival of Veron, Ferguson tried to keep pace with the times and played a 4141-midfielder, but whether it was [-] or later [-], the effect was not very obvious.

how to say?

Manchester United's players are not adapted to this tactical formation.

On the surface, 4231 and 442 don't seem to be much different, they just take a forward and act as the tenth midfielder.

But in fact, the changes here are still very big.

For example, compared with 4231 and 442, the former has four lines regardless of offense or defense, while 442 has the standard three lines. Even if Ferguson adopts a diamond midfield position, it is just a change from parallel 442.

In the 4231 tactic, the tenth position is the key core, and the center in front is also crucial.

But it is obvious that Ruud van Nistelrooy is a goal machine, but not a comprehensive center, and Scholes is not very suitable for the role of the core player at the tenth position.

The changes on both wings are equally great.

In the 442 formation, the two wingers are full midfielders and are positioned further back; but in the 4231 formation, the two wingers are positioned further forward and are basically wingers.

The positioning in the frontcourt is different, so the two full-backs also have to move forward.

Neither Giggs nor Beckham are accustomed to playing too far forward.

Therefore, after several adjustments this season, Ferguson finally chose the 4141 formation, allowing Roy Keane to play as a single midfielder, with Giggs, Veron, Scholes and Beckham lined up, similar to The 442 in the middle of 4.

This is equivalent to taking down a forward and strengthening the defense of the midfielder.

After all, the defense is indeed a major hidden danger tonight.

Ferguson looked at the ill-intentioned Atletico Madrid coach in front of him. He always felt that Yang Hao would catch Manchester United's defense tonight.

This guy is also particularly good at attacking.

……

With the referee's whistle, amidst the roar of more than 5 Atletico Madrid fans at the Calderon Stadium, the game officially kicked off. Manchester United, who took the first kick off, tried to attack Atletico Madrid.

Tonight, Atletico Madrid still adopts the 433 tactic that it is most familiar with this season.

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar;

Defense: Aurelio, Carvalho, Lucio and Belletti;

Midfield: Simeone, Deco and Baraja lined up;

Forwards: Vicente, Adriano and Joaquin.

These are also some of the fine adjustments Yang Hao made today.

In Manchester United's 4141 formation, the four midfielders were directly behind Ruud van Nistelrooy, especially Veron and Scholes, which were even more dangerous. Yang Hao had to be cautious.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United, who was the first to serve, saw that Atletico Madrid did not press high, but played steadily.

Manchester United's offense is still used to going two wings, so the ball quickly came to Beckham's feet.

As soon as the ball arrived, Beckham saw that Simeone was already in front of him.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

Beckham has still not gotten over the red card he received in 98. When he saw Simeone, he immediately tried to cross the ball diagonally to find Ruud van Nistelrooy in front, but was blocked by Simeone sideways. .

The ball went out of bounds and was a foul ball.

When Phil Neville came up, picked up the football on the ground and wiped it on his jersey, he kept observing the surrounding situation and found that Atletico Madrid's defensive players were surrounding him.

Beckham, Scholes, Keane, and even Ruud van Nistelrooy have all been targeted by Atletico Madrid players.

Phil Neville tried to throw the ball away several times, but failed to find the right opportunity.

"As soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid's foul ball defense immediately became more intense."

"Manchester United's throw-in hasn't been thrown yet."

"Look at this time, throw it to Ruud van Nistelrooy."

"The Dutch blocked Carvalho with his body, stopped the ball with his chest, and tried to control it, but Aurelio came up to double attack and passed to Beckham."

"Nice steal!"

"Atletico Madrid's Simeone scooped the ball away first."

"The ball is at Aurelio's feet and passes directly forward."

"Quick counterattack from Atletico."

"Vicente was sprinting in front, very fast."

"Atletico Madrid's center, Adriano and Joaquin on the right are both rushing forward."

"Manchester United returned to defense immediately and Keane chased Vicente all the way."

When Vicente rushed to the left side of the front edge of the penalty area, he turned his head and looked at the middle and found that Adriano was a little slower.

But Roy Keane has caught up.

Vicente made an emergency stop in time and immediately controlled the ball at his feet, allowing Roy Keane to rush over his head.

The captain of Manchester United was also tough. He braked suddenly and immediately rushed towards Vicente fiercely.

Atletico Madrid's left winger took the lead and crossed to the center of the arc, but he was tackled to the ground by Roy Keane.

In line with the principle of advantageous offense, the referee did not blow the whistle.

Adriano caught up just in time and caught up with Blanco before he caught Vicente's pass with his right foot. He stopped the ball into the penalty area and immediately caught up with him.

Gary Neville rushed over to grab the ball that Adriano had just stopped, but just when he was about to touch the ball, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his whole body He couldn't help but flew backwards.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Adriano's burly figure. Gary Neville was very experienced, so how could he not know what was going on with him?

The moment he fell to the ground, a sentence popped into his mind: Fuck, where did this monster come from?

After Adriano knocked down Gary Neville, he moved his right foot forward to meet the football, just in time to avoid the attacking French goalkeeper Barthes. His whole body started up again, chasing the football as quickly as possible. passed.

Butters tried to catch the ball while falling to the ground, but failed to catch it. Instead, he caught Adriano's left foot.

At that moment, a thought came to the French goalkeeper's mind: It's broken!Penalty kick!
But the next second, he was completely confused.

His hand caught Adriano's left foot, but instead of falling to the ground, the Brazilian kicked his hand away. He staggered slightly, stabilized his body, and caught up with the man who had just walked out. That kick, a sweep with his right foot.

The football got into the unguarded empty goal at a very fast speed.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"The opening is 2 minutes, the opening is only 2 minutes."

"Oh my God, Atletico Madrid got off to a great start tonight!"

"In the first 2 minutes, Adriano used a very strong and powerful attack to open the scoring for Atletico Madrid!"

"1 to 0!"

"This is simply unbelievable. He knocked down two Manchester United players in the Manchester United penalty area in one breath."

After Adriano completed the shot, he rushed out of the stadium again, ran to the bottom of the stands, and celebrated towards his father from a distance.

Yang Hao was so excited that he jumped up and shouted Adriano's name loudly.

Like all the fans in the audience, he was cheering for the Brazilian center's wonderful performance!

Who would have thought that Atletico Madrid would break Manchester United's goal in just 2 minutes!
Could there be a better start than this?
After Yang Hao celebrated with his assistants, he took a special look at the visiting team's coaching bench and found that Ferguson's face was ashen.

Obviously, losing the ball also made him feel very passive.

"Well done, Ade!" Yang Hao walked to the sidelines again, high-fived Adriano who was celebrating his return to the court, and then gave the two a warm hug.

After Adriano scored, he was very excited. After letting go of Yang Hao, he grinned.

"Boss, actually, all of us prefer the way you look in a suit."

The surrounding Atletico Madrid players burst into laughter after hearing this.

Yang Hao instantly suppressed his smile and pointed at the court, "Get out!"

The crowd dispersed.

"These bastards!" Yang Hao cursed and walked back.

Juanma Lillo and others looked on with laughter.

Everyone knows that Yang Hao has stopped wearing suits recently because he signed a new sponsorship with the club's jersey sponsor Nike.

The specific amount of sponsorship has not been disclosed, but outsiders speculate that the annual sponsorship fee is as high as 200 million euros, and the price is that Yang Hao must wear Nike clothes and shoes to direct the game.

This is Yang Hao's first game to fulfill his contract.

"Don't mind, they are all envious." Juanma Lillo laughed, "We are all envious too."

The others were amused again.

Nike specially sent two trucks of shoes and clothes to Yang Hao in a small box. All of them are the latest models of Nike. Some of them are really good-looking. Plus Yang Hao's figure, they look really good in them. A decent hanger.

Yang Hao didn't know that these guys were kidding him.

But in order to make money, don't be shabby!
