Chapter 316 Set an example to the whole world! No one knows Atletico Madrid better than me! [A big chapter with words, please beg me to subscribe]

Damn La Liga!

In the home team's dressing room at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, Italy, when Juventus head coach Claudio Ranieri received Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, he couldn't help but cursed.

In the next sentence, he scolded the management of Juventus.

But he could only curse in his heart.

He really couldn't figure out what kind of thinking led him to decide to sell the main goalkeeper Buffon for many years on the last day before the transfer market closed when there was no backup goalkeeper?

Of course, Austrian goalkeeper Manninger is still good, but he is far behind compared to Buffon.

Fortunately, after Manninger came to the team, he continued his excellent performance in Siena.

So far this season, Juventus has played 8 games on all fronts, with 3 wins and 5 draws, remaining unbeaten.

A total of 8 goals were scored in 10 games, including a 4-0 defeat in the Champions League qualifying round.

剩下的7场比赛里，6场各进1球，一场0比0。

Yes, it was the just-concluded fifth round of Serie A, an away game against Sampdoria.

Ranieri arranged for the substitute lineup to play, just to recharge his batteries and face Atletico Madrid at home.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Juventus drew 1-1 with Klinsmann's Bayern at the Allianz Arena.

In 8 games, only 4 goals were conceded.

Ranieri is relatively satisfied with the current team's defense.

But tonight was different.

They are facing the powerful Atletico Madrid!

Looking at Atletico Madrid's starting list in front of him, Ranieri's hands were shaking slightly and his heart was beating violently.

Goalkeeper: Neuer;

Defense: Evra, Ramos, Pepe and Alves;

Midfield: Mascherano goes deep, Iniesta and Kaká are in the middle;

Forwards: David Silva, Drogba and Messi.

Is this over?

No, look at the bench.

Torres, who had just set a European Cup record with 11 goals in the European Cup, was sitting on it.

And Di Maria, the angel wing who just shined in the Olympics and helped Argentina win the championship, is also sitting on it.

There are also Marcelo and Thiago Silva who shined in the Olympics...

That's great, right?

Looking at European football, a team with such a large number of superstars can only be assembled by the three old perverts in La Liga.

Don't ask which three, if you ask, Ranieri will want to scold you.

La Liga is so strong that Ranieri almost went to coach.

Well, this summer, two La Liga teams are inviting him, and the salary packages offered are also good. Obviously, they are interested in his performance when he was coaching in Valencia, and his performance in leading Juventus in recent years. score.

If Juventus hadn't been kind enough to retain him, Ranieri would have really gone back to coach La Liga.

But now, La Liga is still damn good!

……

"guys!"

Wait until the players finish their pre-match warm-up and return to the locker room.

Ranieri saw that they were almost ready, so he walked over and shouted loudly.

Suddenly, everyone's attention was attracted to him.

"As I have analyzed with you before, in this game against Atletico Madrid, we must show 200% concentration and the highest level, because we are facing the strongest team in Europe."

"We have no choice!"

The solemn look on Ranieri's face made everyone feel his determination at this moment.

"We drew with Bayern away from home in the first round. We performed very well, but this cannot guarantee our advancement. If we want to advance, we must ensure our unbeaten victory against Atletico Madrid at home."

The players nodded.

The Champions League group stage is also linked to each other.

If they lose to Atletico Madrid at home, the difficulty for Juventus to qualify will skyrocket.

In the Champions League group stage, it is very crucial to ensure that we do not lose at home.

If we lose at home, how can we win on the road?

"As I have always told you before, regardless of UEFA's nonsense points and tiers, we are not a third-tier team at all. We are stronger than many second-tier teams!"

"The away draw with Bayern is the best evidence!"

Ranieri's words made the Juventus players feel the power, and they all nodded their heads.

Juventus is the leader in points in the third pot, just a little behind Sporting Lisbon, the last team in the second pot.

Therefore, there is no problem with the Bianconeri looking at it this way.

Ranieri just hopes to boost the team's morale in this way and make the Juventus players clearly aware that they have the strength to compete with the second and first teams.

"I repeat again, the most important point in this game is to ensure the stability of our defense. The three midfielders in front must pay attention. Atletico Madrid is very good at pulling and passing back and forth from the outside of the penalty area to the 30-meter area. Yeah, you have to give them a little more intensity when you're defending."

"Christian." Ranieri looked at Danish international Paulson, "Be careful with your movements and don't foul easily."

"Although Atletico Madrid's free kick attack is relatively weak, we have also seen that Ramos has scored a lot of set pieces this season, and Pepe also has good set piece offensive capabilities, so we must be careful."

"Understood." Paulson nodded.

He has played in Sevilla in La Liga before and competed against Atletico Madrid, so he knows how powerful Atletico Madrid is.

"Pavel, you have to be careful about disturbing Mascherano."

Czech midfielder, veteran Pavel Nedved nodded in agreement.

"OK!"

Ranieri slapped the tactical board behind him hard.

"Once again, the task of the three defensive midfielders, Marchisio, Paulson, and Camoranesi, is to protect our defense. No matter what, we cannot allow Atletico Madrid to easily break into our penalty area."

"Do you understand?"

"Got it!" the players all responded loudly.

Playing Atletico Madrid, they are also very motivated.

……

"Sky, Sky."

"What is being broadcast live is the second round of Group H of the UEFA Champions League in the 08/09 season. Juventus is sitting at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin to challenge Spain's top giants, Atletico Madrid."

"This is a game between the old giants and the new giants."

"Atletico Madrid is the fastest-rising new top club in European football in the past few years. The team has gathered a number of top stars in their prime, such as Kaká, Messi, Torres, Drogba and so on."

"After being relegated, Juventus is now making a comeback and showing great momentum."

"So far this season, they have an undefeated record, but their offensive ability is a bit weak."

"We've got Juventus' starting XI."

"Goalkeeper: Manninger; defense: Molinaro, Zebina, Lerottaglie and Grigra; midfielder is three midfielders lined up, Marchisio, Paulson and Camo Ranesi, with Nedved in front; Del Piero and Iaquinta as the two forwards.”

"We saw that the two teams had already entered the stadium under the leadership of referee Atkinson."

“At this time, in the opposite stand facing the Juventus tunnel, Bianconeri fans pulled down a huge tifo that covered the entire stadium stand, turning the entire stand into black and white. "

"The atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico was very electric."

"Especially tonight."

"We specially interviewed many Juventus fans outside the stadium before the game. They all agreed that tonight's game will make the entire European football world re-recognize Juventus."

"The Bianconeri will defeat the powerful Atletico Madrid at home tonight to prove that the powerful Bianconeri are back!"

"So, Juventus fans are particularly passionate."

……

When Yang Hao and the coaching staff walked into the stadium, they were indeed taken aback by the fanatical fans of Juventus.

Isn't this too enthusiastic?

Juventus' new stadium is still under construction. They are currently using the Stadio Olimpico, which has a capacity of only 27500 people.

And, as the name suggests, the Olympic Stadium has a track and field track and two oval areas.

Logically speaking, it is difficult to create such a stadium atmosphere.

But Juventus fans made the home atmosphere extremely hot with only 27500 people.

I have to say, it is indeed quite difficult.

"This is Juventus' first home game after returning to the Champions League." Juanma Lillo reminded.

Although they have played a Champions League qualifying match before, fans as arrogant as Juventus will naturally not take this kind of qualifying match to heart.

They are still paying more attention to the Champions League group stage.

Especially against a top team like Atletico Madrid.

This is the most attractive part of the Champions League, isn't it?

Since taking office in early 07, Platini has been trying to modify the rules of the Champions League to give more room for development to what he calls weak countries and leagues.

But the paradox is that the Champions League, as the highest stage of professional leagues in the world today, relies on these traditional giant teams in the top leagues, which have the largest number of fans in the world.

This creates an interesting paradox.

Platini came to power by relying on the votes of disadvantaged groups, so he tried every means to cut a piece of the pie from the strong leagues to the weak leagues, thereby consolidating his base.

But the question is, can these leagues really rise?

Judging from Yang Hao's previous life, it is basically impossible.

Because the league is not just based on money, but on a whole set of mechanisms and operations.

Some weak leagues themselves lack such a foundation.

If nothing else, after a team like Juventus was relegated and returned to the Champions League after two years of absence, the stadium with 27500 people was still full and the fans were still enthusiastic.

In many countries and regions, including leagues like Croatia, the problem is actually very big. Even the Portuguese Super League has many problems.

So what are they going to do to compete with the top league?

At this moment, Yang Hao was thinking of the European Super League.

In his previous life, as a Real Madrid fan, he also opposed the idea of ​​a European Super League, but he couldn't help but wonder, if there is no European Super League, what will the club do to restrict UEFA?

This itself is a continuous game process.

At first, the national team recruited national players, and they could recruit them however they wanted. Once they were recruited, they would use them to death, and they would not be held responsible if they were injured or disabled. But what happened later?

After the club's struggle, compensation was offered, but it was still far from enough to make up for the club's losses.

Next, UEFA shouted to reduce the burden on the players and made five substitutions.

But what about the other side?

The European League of Nations is also out.

Is this a burden reduction? Or increase the burden?

If you just watch the European Super League, you will definitely feel that this is just here to cause trouble.

Are these bastards Real Madrid and Barcelona crazy about money?

But if it starts from G14, to now, and to 2023, it can even be traced back even earlier, or even to the establishment of the Champions League in the 50s, this is a continuation of a war.

The war between the clubs and the Football Association!

When the Champions League becomes more and more important and even begins to affect the club's income, UEFA's voice becomes more and more powerful; conversely, the same is true for the wealthy clubs.

Whether it is the European Super League or the UEFA Nations League, they are all competing for more interests.

Yang Hao feels that La Liga should now follow the path of the Premier League in its previous life.

I work harder to make money and try to get into the league.

As long as I earn enough money from the league, it doesn't have much impact on me whether I win the Champions League or not. Then you, UEFA, can only kneel down and lick you!

Therefore, local fans are still very, very important.

This is the foundation of a club!

Yang Hao suddenly thought of this when he saw the huge tifo pulled out by the Juventus fans and covering the entire stands.

……

Amid the wild cheers of Juventus fans, the game officially started.

Don't look at the Bianconeri's arrangement of 4 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders. It looks like they must defend to the death.

But Ranieri knew very well that in the face of Atletico Madrid, guarding and defending was a slow suicide.

He even deliberately wanted to launch a wave of offense at the beginning.

The Bianconeri moved and passed through the midfield. Camoranesi moved forward to the right side of the frontcourt. After receiving Nedvěd's pass, he tried to cross to the front point of the penalty area.

Iaquinta's header flicked and flew to the back.

Just when Del Piero was about to hit the goal, Pepe made a decisive move and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Mascherano headed the ball to Kaká due to interference from Nedved.

The Brazilian turned his back to the direction of the attack, kept the ball, volleyed with his left foot and passed it to Iniesta on the other side.

Xiaobai caught up and stopped Kaka's pass forward, then caught up and sent a direct pass.

Drogba started quickly and formed a single goal. As a result, the linesman raised the flag to indicate offside.

The Ivorian spread his hands in frustration.

In the last game against Shakhtar Donetsk, he was disallowed two goals, and he is still doing this now.

But judging from the slow-motion replay, Drogba was indeed slightly offside and started a little early.

Although Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack did not threaten this time, it still shocked Juventus into a cold sweat.

With one or two passes, Atletico can penetrate Juventus' defense in an instant.

If Drogba had started a little later, the ball would have been a sure shot.

Ranieri shouted nervously on the sidelines.

He scored a goal just over a minute into the game. Wouldn't this cost him his life?

In this way, Juventus' intention to attack in the opening game was strongly suppressed by Atletico Madrid.

The Sheets Army began to gradually take control of the situation.

In the 5th minute, Drogba retreated, received a pass from Alves, turned around and sent a ball from behind.

After Messi broke into the penalty area, he dribbled the ball straight towards the goal and hit the center near the baseline.

Kaka followed up with a push shot, but goalkeeper Manninger saved it like a miracle.

The Brazilian's intention to hit the far corner was a bit too obvious.

Atletico Madrid's offensive also gradually became a threat.

The Juventus fans at the scene had not competed with Atletico Madrid before, but after returning to the Champions League after an absence of two years, they were surprised to find that Atletico Madrid was stronger than they imagined.

This kind of power cannot be seen at all on live TV.

In particular, the movement of their stars on the court and their fast, skillful and precise passing made it difficult for Juventus to keep up with the pace of the Sheets, which caused the Bianconeri to have to retreat again and again.

But even so, Juventus still couldn't hold on.

When the game progressed to the 10th minute, Messi suddenly dribbled the ball and cut inside, taking away Molinaro, and then passed it back to Kaká. The Brazilian did not stop the ball and scored it directly back to the right corner of the penalty area.

Alves stepped in and rubbed Kaka's pass.

The ball fell to the center in front of the goal.

Like a giant beast, Drogba used his powerful body to forcefully drive away Lerottaglie and Zebina, and headed the ball from close range into the lower right corner.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Only 10 minutes into the game, Drogba opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid with a fierce header!"

"1 to 0!"

The live TV cameras swept across the stands and found that all the Juventus fans had expressions of disbelief.

Perhaps, in the minds of many of them, Atletico Madrid is still where it was back then.

But the current sheet army is no longer what it used to be.

This skillful combination of lightness, elegance and calmness is full of artistic beauty.

Everyone was lifting with ease, but Drogba's header at the end was full of power and violence.

That header not only hit the Juventus goal, but also hit the hearts of Juventus fans.

The gap is indeed a bit big!

……

After taking the lead, Atletico Madrid did not give up on the good news, but continued to pursue the victory.

After the Bianconeri attack, there are often only two people left in the defense, which makes the Bianconeri fans in the stands feel very depressed. There are only two people, pass it over, and we have a chance!

Pass it on!

But under Atletico Madrid's high-intensity pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, it was difficult for Juventus to hold the ball and pass the ball.

It wasn't until the 23rd minute that the Bianconeri passed a very good ball.

Ramos, this bastard, is such a waste. He even imitated Lucio and pressed forward with the ball, trying to participate in the attack. What happened?

The ball was intercepted at midfield.

After receiving the ball, Nedved sent a through ball and tried to find Del Piero.

Juventus's two forwards moved forward quickly. Del Piero took the ball, attracted Pepe's attention, and then passed diagonally to the right side of the penalty area to find Iaquinta.

When Iaquinta caught up with the ball, he found that Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Neuer, who loves to attack, did not attack.

what the hell?

Do you look down on people?

Just when Iaquinta stopped the ball to adjust and was about to hit the goal, a red and white figure suddenly appeared from the side. He fell to the ground decisively and tackled the ball. Iaquinta's shot hit the opponent directly.

The ball bounced high and fell towards the baseline on the right side of the goal.

Neuer ran over and intercepted the ball.

It was only at this moment that everyone noticed that it was Ramos who was chasing after him.

This prodigal rushed up just now, and now he's chasing him back. Isn't this speed too fast?

Ramos got up from the ground out of breath, grinned at Neuer and Pepe, then looked to the sidelines and found Yang Hao looking at him. He immediately realized that he was going to be scolded again. Atletico Madrid launched attacks one after another.

Juventus's solid defense made it difficult for Atletico to penetrate into the hinterland, and they mostly just kept long shots from the outside.

But there is a very interesting phenomenon. Atletico Madrid's long-range shots tonight were very accurate.

This is of course not because Atletico Madrid players suddenly became enlightened, but because Juventus' defense was a little behind and failed to interfere in time. This gave Atletico Madrid players more time to take long shots. Adjustment.

But Manninger did defend well and made several saves with great skill.

Moreover, Juventus's defense was relatively solid and did not allow Atletico Madrid to score another goal.

The first half ended with 0-1, Atletico Madrid taking the lead.

At halftime, Ranieri made a substitution.

He replaced Del Piero with Portuguese midfielder Thiago Mendes.

This is actually a forced substitution.

After the substitution, Camoranesi was pushed to the right, Thiago Mendes appeared in the third midfielder position, and Nedved was also pulled to the left.

Juventus' formation immediately changed into a formation similar to 451.

Obviously, Ranieri hopes to strengthen the team's defense by strengthening the midfield.

But after this substitution, Atletico Madrid gained greater momentum on the court.

When the threat from the back line weakened, especially when only the tall Iaquinta was left, Atletico Madrid, except for the two central defenders, almost all pressed forward to attack.

In the 53rd minute, Atletico Madrid created an opportunity from the left side of the frontcourt and passed the ball into the penalty area, but Lero Talia pushed it out of the penalty area.

But the ball is still in Atletico's court.

Iniesta passed the ball to the right. After Alves stopped the ball, he started to pass again.

Drogba overwhelmed Zebina in the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal, but the ball was blocked by goalkeeper Manninger.

But at the critical moment, the small and nimble Messi quickly stepped in, easily pushed the ball in front of the goal, and picked up a goal.

2 is better than 0!

The Argentinian was so excited that he jumped up and hugged his teammates on the sidelines.

As the second half progressed, Juventus gradually exposed its physical deficiencies.

Run with Atletico Madrid's rhythm. Atletico Madrid relies on passing, while Juventus relies on running.

This kind of spelling was particularly depleted in the second half.

In the 83rd minute, Messi dribbled the ball past two Juventus defenders and hit the goal from the right side of the penalty area. Manninger saved it and won a corner kick.

The ball was intercepted after advancing just now, and it almost turned into a loss. During the halftime break, Ramos, who was scolded by Yang Hao, finally reacted, grabbed the spot, and headed the ball from close range. Another victory for Atletico Madrid, 3-0!

At the last moment of the game, Alves' low pass from the right, Messi dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area, and then suddenly responded. Kaká followed up and fired a furious shot from the right side of the penalty area, breaking through again. Juventus goal.

4 is better than 0!

At the beginning, the Olympic Stadium, which was bustling with noise and roar, suddenly became silent.

Before the game, they all maintained strong confidence in Juventus, because the Bianconeri have maintained an unbeaten record so far this season, and their results are indeed quite good.

Atletico Madrid is very strong, but in the past, Serie A was not afraid of such a team and was often able to defeat its opponents through excellent defense.

For example, during the Galacticos era, Real Madrid always had a hard time playing against Juventus.

Therefore, Bianconeri fans did not think there was anything wrong with playing Atletico Madrid before the game.

But now, they can see the gap completely.

When they finally returned from Serie B to Serie A and returned to the Champions League, they suddenly discovered that the world had completely changed.

……

Atletico Madrid defeated Juventus 4-0 in an away game, a hearty victory that surprised the entire European football world.

In the first round of the group stage, Atletico Madrid had already madly attacked Shakhtar Donetsk at home. If it hadn't been for the referee's misjudgment, the game would have been a big score.

But now, as a guest at the Olympic Stadium, Atletico Madrid once again launched a wave of attacks.

4 is better than 0!

Moreover, the highest scorer for Juventus turned out to be their goalkeeper Manninger.

This is enough to prove that if it weren't for the goalkeeper's heroic performance, Juventus would have completely lost this game.

The Turin Corriere della Sera published a commentary immediately after the game, saying, "Juventus is inferior to Atletico Madrid in terms of technology, tactics, and body!"

This is tantamount to admitting that this is a complete and complete defeat.

The Turin Corriere della Sera believed that the Bianconeri conceded the ball too early, but they were still able to compete with Atletico Madrid in the first half.

The real breakdown came in the second half, especially towards the end of the game.

"The physical disadvantage made Juventus completely unable to keep up with Atletico Madrid's pace, and they were eventually scored consecutively."

La Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Atletico Madrid’s match at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin taught Italian football a vivid lesson, forcing the Italians, who have always prided themselves on their skills and tactics, to start facing up to their backwardness. .

"We must admit that Atletico Madrid and La Liga are playing the most advanced and advantageous football in the world today!"

"The defensive system that we are proud of is difficult to be effective in their passing and cutting style."

Gazzetta dello Sport even moved out Mourinho, believing that even Mourinho's Barcelona does not just retreat, but an aggressive and meticulous defensive system.

On the other hand, Juventus lost this game badly.

Ranieri's coaching position has also been shaken.

In another match in Group H, Bayern Munich defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 away from home.

The Bundesliga squad does have an advantage in the schedule.

It's only September now. Although it's far away to go to Ukraine, it won't be very cold.

The Munich Evening News analyzed that what Bayern should do next is to ensure that they and Atletico Madrid do not widen the gap, and then wait for Atletico Madrid to make mistakes.

Especially in the fifth round of the group stage, going to Ukraine in ice and snow often ended in failure.

The premise of all this is that Bayern must block the wolf-like Atletico Madrid in the next two rounds.

……

When Mourinho finished his Champions League away game and returned to Barcelona on the flight, he received news from Italy.

Atletico Madrid used all their main players to defeat the Bianconeri Juventus 4-0 away from home.

This made Mourinho couldn't help but curse as soon as he received the news.

"It's so nonsense!"

Mourinho obviously couldn't believe the result.

He could not have imagined that Juventus, which had only conceded one goal in a single game this season and was undefeated in eight games, would lose to Atletico Madrid 1-8, and it was still at their home court.

Isn't this outrageous?

"To be honest, Atletico Madrid is getting better and better now, and its performance is getting stronger and stronger." Faria said from the sidelines.

Mourinho exhaled heavily.

He's not blind, you can tell.

But what makes him most angry is that Yang Hao has started to arrange for Busquets to play this season.

A few days ago, Barcelona's technical director Begiristain just talked to Mourinho about Busquets.

Mourinho told him at the time, "You were tricked by Yang Hao."

Begiristain still didn't believe it, and he kept emphasizing, "I forced it on them."

So what else does Mourinho have to say?

Could he say that this is what Yang Hao is like, you were sold and you are still counting the money for him?

Ha ha.

"The most important thing for us now is to find a way. The sixth round is our home court." Faria reminded.

In the 6th round of La Liga, Barcelona faced Atletico Madrid at home.

This is also the first focus battle in La Liga this season.

La Liga is vigorously promoting and promoting this event, and fans around the world are eagerly awaiting it.

Everyone wants to see whether Atletico Madrid, which is making a comeback, can defeat Barcelona?

Mourinho wants to win Atletico Madrid at home and successfully return to the top four.

"After training tomorrow, show me the game between Juventus and Atletico Madrid as soon as possible."

After a pause, Mourinho narrowed his eyes.

"I want to see how that guy Ranieri lost."

After losing like this, if it were me, I would resign directly!

……

The next day, Gamber Sports City.

Mourinho and the coaching staff watched Juventus' home game against Atletico Madrid.

Everyone believed that Drogba's first goal hit Juventus' mentality, causing them to lose their fighting spirit and start to retreat conservatively.

This is the instinct of almost all players.

They always habitually believe that it will be safer to retreat.

But this logic doesn't work for Atletico Madrid.

"Juventus' defense was too conservative."

Mourinho shook his head. Before he finished watching the first half, he had already roughly guessed the problem.

"They obviously have three midfielders and a midfielder like Paulson. Where's the foul?"

"Does Ranieri think that by reducing fouls, they can rely on their defensive position to block Atletico Madrid's attack?"

"If it were that simple, Atletico Madrid wouldn't be such a big worry for all the teams around the world."

It is only during internal meetings of the team that Mourinho will admit his evaluation of Atletico Madrid.

Outside, he always said that.

"Atletico Madrid only looks strong, but in fact, they are weak at heart."

"I am the one who eliminated Atletico Madrid twice. No one knows Atletico Madrid's weaknesses better than me!"

I have to admit that Mourinho still has to pretend.

The reason is, looking around the world, the one who attacked Atletico Madrid twice in the Champions League knockout rounds was Mourinho.

This is why Barcelona is willing to spend a lot of money to invite him to coach and entrust him with important tasks.

"I tell you, Juventus loses because they don't dare to foul. This is tantamount to handcuffing themselves with shackles. If you play Atletico Madrid like this, you will definitely die!"

Mourinho said it very firmly.

"Playing at Atletico Madrid means risking everything, fighting them to the death, and doing whatever it takes."

“How can we win if we are not as strong as our opponents and are not willing to give our all?”

What Mourinho said actually makes sense.

If a weak person challenges a strong enemy, can he win if he doesn't try his best?

"Then how do you plan to play in this game?" Faria asked with concern.

"It's still three midfielders, with Diarra in the middle, Muntari and Xavi on both sides, and Eto'o, Diego Milito and Robben in front. We continue to defend and counterattack!"

After a pause, Mourinho gritted his teeth, "But we are different from the embroidered pillows like Juventus. We want to be serious with Atletico Madrid. Free kicks are their shortcomings. As long as we don't foul in the penalty area." That’s it.”

This was also Barcelona's strategy against Atletico Madrid last season.

This is even the way the world deals with Atletico Madrid, trying to stop Atletico Madrid through fouls.

Otherwise, there is really nothing we can do.

The Sheets' passing game is so awesome.

"In the next two days, we will focus on practicing defensive counterattacks. We will give Atletico Madrid another fatal blow at the Camp Nou!"

Mourinho gritted his teeth.

"We want to set an example to the whole world!"

He has a good relationship with Yang Hao, but friendship is friendship. On the court, he will still kill Atletico Madrid without hesitation.

It's not just his job, it's his pleasure.

Defeating a team recognized as the best in the world is very satisfying, isn't it?

At least Mourinho enjoys this sense of accomplishment.

……

The evening of July 10.

The 6th round of La Liga, the focus of the game that attracted the most attention from fans around the world, started at the Camp Nou.

Mourinho's Barcelona is at home against rival Atletico Madrid.

When the referee Iturade blew the whistle to start the game, Atletico Madrid, who was playing away from home, turned away and launched a fierce attack on Barcelona.

After playing Juventus in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid once again played Barcelona with its full lineup in this game.

Yang Hao's team showed an aggressive momentum from the beginning, and they were about to eat up Barcelona's momentum in one breath.

Mourinho's team is also well-informed and has already known about Atletico Madrid's opening moves, so they didn't play nervously.

Tonight, Barcelona arranged a three-midfield combination of Muntari, Mohamed Diarra and Xavi, making it clear that they are going to compete with Atletico Madrid.

One offense and one defense soon created a smell of gunpowder on the court.

Everyone felt very strange. Every time Messi met Barcelona, ​​he was very energetic, as if he hated this team from the bottom of his heart, so he was particularly active after the start.

Especially in the 3rd minute, after receiving a pass from Alves, Messi dribbled away Abidal and broke into the right side of the penalty area, colliding with Puyol.

Messi lost his balance and fell to the ground, but Puyol successfully intercepted the ball.

Referee Iturade signaled for the game to continue and Puyol did not commit a foul.

This caused dissatisfaction among Atletico Madrid players.

These old foxes in Barcelona were like sharks that smelled the smell of blood. They all guessed that the referee Iturade would be a little softer tonight, so they became even bolder.

Mourinho on the sidelines also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that they could press forward to give Atletico Madrid a boost of intensity.

After Atletico Madrid protested for a while, they immediately entered the game and reorganized and planned the attack.

Barcelona started defensively, but gradually increased their efforts in the midfield and frontcourt.

Robben played as a right winger after moving to Barcelona, ​​and he played particularly energetically tonight.

Especially in the 6th minute, Xavi sent a pass. Robben went straight to the left side of Atletico Madrid's defense. When facing Thiago Silva, he tried to dribble the ball from the right. cut.

The cut inside was successful, but the subsequent shot was blocked by Thiago Silva.

The Brazilian central defender performed very steadily, whether in one-on-one defense or in overall combat.

Especially for this game, the central defender arranged by Yang Hao was Thiago Silva partnered with Pepe.

Ramos' unreliable hidden danger was thrown on the bench by Yang Hao.

But just 2 minutes later, when Atletico Madrid launched another attack, Kaká gave the ball to Messi.

Messi stopped the ball and moved very quickly with his feet. With continuous fake moves, he quickly passed Abidal and cut inward with the ball.

Faced with the flying Muntari, Messi made another fake move, trying to get past the Barcelona midfielder. As a result, Muntari didn't care about anything and bumped into him, directly hitting him. Messi was knocked to the ground.

This was not so much a defensive foul as a show of force.

Of course, the action was not big, so the referee only awarded a foul and did not give a card.

The nearly 10 Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou stadium gave deafening cheers, and they were obviously satisfied with Muntari's behavior.

This is how you do Atletico Madrid!

Especially that Messi, don't let him get the ball again, don't let him stop screaming!

Mourinho even laughed and applauded on the sidelines, feeling that the defense was well done this time.

The location of Muntari's foul happened to be at the edge of the penalty area, on the right side of the top of the arc, only about 20 meters away from the goal.

The Argentine teenager grabbed Kaka's hand and climbed up with a calm and calm look on his face, without pushing it away.

Several other Atletico Madrid players also gathered around, obviously discussing who would take the free kick.

Barcelona's players began to set up a human wall. They set up a total of 5 people.

On the sidelines, Mourinho grinned.

"To be honest, Atletico Madrid has not made any progress in free kicks in the past two or three years." Mourinho found it a bit strange.

Logically speaking, a team like Atletico Madrid gets fouled a lot, so free kicks should be their weapon.

But Atletico Madrid's players don't seem to be able to practice free kicks well.

Kaka, Iniesta, Torres, Xavi Alonso and others have all taken free kicks, but the results were not particularly ideal.

David Silva also took a penalty, which was also quite average.

As of now, Atletico Madrid really can't find a free kick master.

Well, Barcelona is actually not much different now.

After Ronaldinho left, Barcelona also lacked such a master.

On the contrary, Real Madrid, Pirlo and Ronaldo's free kicks are very threatening.

At this moment, Buffon had already set up a human wall.

Mourinho put his hands on his hips, waiting to see who would take the penalty.

As a result, it was Messi who walked out.

Moreover, he doesn't need his teammates to cover.

He wants to be alone, facing a 5-man wall, and the world's number one goalkeeper behind him, Buffon!

　I figured it out a long time ago and kept adding more. I made this dumpling just for the sake of jealousy. I wonder what you gentlemen think of it?
