Chapter 351 Forced into the palace! There is nothing like Mourinho in Barcelona tonight! [A big chapter with words, please beg me to subscribe]

The applause at the Bernabeu, the narrowing of the gap in the standings, and the increasing suspense of winning the La Liga title have all become the focus of attention for fans around the world after the Madrid derby.

Countless media and fans are rushing to discuss this game.

Especially Atletico Madrid's performance.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Hao loudly shouted that he would charge for the Triple Crown. This slogan quickly became the focus of discussion among the media and fans.

After experiencing success in the past few years, no one will doubt the strength of Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid.

Today's Shenlian Legion has long been the most famous top club in world football. When they start to exert their strength, not to mention the media and fans, even all competitors will feel the pressure.

Needless to say, Atletico Madrid has reached the final of the Copa del Rey.

The opponent is Sevilla.

With Atletico Madrid's strength, it is also a favorite to win the championship.

Many media outlets, including Marca, highly recognized Yang Hao’s analysis at the post-match press conference and believed that Atletico Madrid had seized the advantageous initiative on the road to winning the championship.

Especially after the 3-0 victory over Real Madrid, people are full of confidence in Atletico Madrid.

But they only scored 34 goals in the same period, which is not as good as Real Madrid's aggressive offensive.

But in terms of the number of goals conceded, Real Madrid has conceded a full 28 goals, and Atletico Madrid has only conceded 16 goals so far.

In other words, Atletico now has the most powerful offensive firepower in European football and the strongest defense in European football.

This is the biggest blow to Real Madrid's morale.

In the first 15 rounds of games, the Shenzhen Legion scored 45 goals and conceded 12 goals. Messi scored 21 goals.

This made the Argentinian the first player in La Liga history to score more than 40 goals in a single season.

In Spain, the number of goals conceded has never been used to measure the level of a team, especially for super strong teams like the top three in the Western Premier League. The more reference factors are offense.

Atletico Madrid too.

Atletico Madrid has scored 79 La Liga goals so far this season, which is also the most in La Liga.

Therefore, Aspen believes that Atletico Madrid's performance in the second half was not as good as Real Madrid's.

Therefore, only 4 goals were conceded during this period.

In La Liga, Atletico Madrid was originally 4 points behind Real Madrid, but after the derby in the same city, the situation has suddenly reversed.

What gave Yang Hao confidence was the outstanding performance of Atletico Madrid players, especially the team's superstars.

Aspen reported on the statistics of 29 rounds of La Liga and analyzed the distribution of Atletico Madrid's goals. It is easy to draw a conclusion.

But in terms of morale, Real Madrid is already at a disadvantage.

The number of goals conceded was reduced from 12 to 4, which proves that Atletico Madrid's defense is solid.

At this time, Atletico gave the impression that the attack was very sharp, but the defense was not very stable.

Yang Hao shouted at this time that the goal of winning the Triple Crown was not just a whim.

In terms of goals, Adriano currently leads the Champions League scorer list with 7 goals, followed by Atletico Madrid's Suarez and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, who both scored 6 goals.

In this case, Atletico Madrid's overall performance is more about a balanced overall advantage to crush its opponents.

This caused heated discussions among fans throughout Spain and even the world.

In this season's Champions League, Messi did not play all the games, but his performance was also very good.

But in La Liga, Messi not only scored 29 goals in 43 rounds, but also scored his sixth hat trick of the season after playing for Real Madrid, which has never happened before in the history of La Liga.

La Liga has only played 29 rounds, and Messi has already scored 43 goals.

But the Sheets defeated Real Madrid 3-0 at the Bernabeu.

On the defense line, the Sheets Legion relied on the central defenders composed of Thiago Silva, Ramos, Pepe and Godin, coupled with Neuer's outstanding performance, to create a European football team. The altar’s most unbreakable line of defense.

But this does not mean that Atletico Madrid has no hidden dangers.

Messi has only scored 4 goals so far, but he is the assist king in the Champions League.

This can illustrate a problem. Multi-front operations have brought huge pressure to Atletico Madrid.

As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, Aspen listed a major hidden danger for Atletico Madrid, which is the schedule.

If Galaxy Battleship wants to compete for the championship, it must maintain its 1-point lead and fight to the death in every game.

It can be said that Atletico Madrid has shown an unprecedented dominance this season.

Both the media and fans generally spoke highly of Atletico Madrid's performance, and did not even doubt their ability to win the Triple Crown.

What's even more outrageous is that Messi is not the team's center.

The key is not the 3 points, but the fact that the city derby defeated the direct championship rivals 3-0.

In fact, looking at the entire European football team, except for Real Madrid, no team can compete with Atletico Madrid.

Since the winter break, Atletico Madrid has conceded fewer goals in the subsequent 14 rounds, but the number of goals scored has also dropped sharply, down to 34 goals. Messi alone scored 22 goals.

Especially Atletico Madrid's players, their condition has obviously declined a lot compared to before the winter break.

In the frontcourt, relying on superstars such as Messi, Torres, Kaká and Adriano, Atletico Madrid kicked off an offensive storm that scared the entire European football world.

Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, who is better?
……

As the head coach of Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao is very aware of the team's situation, but he will not reveal a word to the outside world.

Because he has more important things to do.

The reason why the team's number of goals dropped sharply in the second half was the winter break.

Throughout January, the team has been adjusting its status and recharging the players' physical fitness.

Under such circumstances, it would be weird if the players could continue to play in the same state as in the first half.

As for Real Madrid...

Even as a competitor, Yang Hao had to admit that Real Madrid was slightly better than Atletico Madrid in terms of bench thickness.

Looking at the stars sitting on the Real Madrid bench, Raul has played less than double digits this season.

There are also players like Ballack, Higuain, Gago, etc., all of whom are powerful players.

Atletico Madrid's lineup is indeed good, but it is still a bit young.

Under such circumstances, Yang Hao is very satisfied with the current results.

After shouting the slogan of winning the Triple Crown, Yang Hao immediately went to Atletico Madrid headquarters for a meeting. The focus of the discussion was the team's championship rewards, especially the bonus issue.

Yang Hao always likes to think and act first when doing things.

Even if the club does not introduce rewards, Yang Hao is sure that the players will work hard.

But he still urged the club to increase rewards.

The reason is also very simple, La Liga now is different from the past.

"With the fierce competition in La Liga now, to put it bluntly, how many teams dare to say that they can win the Triple Crown?"

In addition to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid also has such strength.

But it is also interesting to say that Real Madrid has not performed well in the Copa del Rey in recent years.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually not completely unreasonable.

The Copa del Rey is useless, but the most important knockout rounds are all in January.

Atletico Madrid's strategy has always been rotation, and the Copa del Rey lets young players play.

So does Real Madrid.

Therefore, from the 06/07 season, when the team won the Triple Crown, to now, Atletico Madrid has reached the final for the first time.

What about Real Madrid?
Didn't even make it to the semifinals.

This is also related to Real Madrid not paying attention to it.

Therefore, up to now, in the entire European football world, the only team that can win the Triple Crown is Atletico Madrid!
In this season's Copa del Rey, Atletico still has some luck in the schedule.

Teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia were all upset and eliminated early, so Atletico Madrid's opponent is Sevilla.

This team is not weak, but Yang Hao is confident.

"I missed this opportunity. God knows when will I have the next chance to win the Triple Crown?"

Yang Hao believes that the club should provide greater rewards to stimulate players to perform better.

The whole world knows that the current competition in La Liga is very fierce.

But in this fierce competition, if Atletico Madrid can still fight out and win the Triple Crown, this will undoubtedly further establish Atletico Madrid's position in La Liga, European football, and even in the hearts of fans around the world.

Cerezo and Xiao Hill also agreed with Yang Hao's proposal.

The most important thing is that the team is now financially comfortable.

Standing in the conference room of Atletico Madrid headquarters, looking out from the south window, the two skyscrapers are already standing on the banks of the Manzanares River, and the facades of the buildings look particularly noble and elegant.

The all-glass curtain wall design makes it look very modern and futuristic.

This is also in line with Herzog and de Meuron’s design concept for the entire project, from the retro of the stadium to the dreamy future of skyscrapers, all presented in this area.

Currently, the building is nearing completion.

After completion, the first batch of companies that signed contracts to settle in will begin delivery and start decoration.

Judging from the current market feedback, it is quite enthusiastic.

After all, Madrid has only planned six skyscrapers so far, and only five have been built.

Among the four skyscrapers planned to be built on the land of Real Madrid's old sports city, only three have been built so far, and one is still on the design drawings.

The most outrageous thing is that after the construction of two of the buildings started, the developer declared bankruptcy and was forced to sell the project.

Currently taken over are PwC and Bank of Spain.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid's two skyscrapers, although they also experienced financial crises as developers, everything went smoothly after Atletico Madrid took them over.

Even in terms of attracting investment, Gemini is progressing more smoothly than the three buildings in the north.

After all, the location is really great.

The Gemini constellation is located in the south of the Royal Palace. It is surrounded by the best tourism resources in Madrid. It is also the core area of ​​Madrid, so hotels and shopping malls are vying to settle there.

The reason why Yang Hao was trying to sell the iron was because he valued this.

Up to now, it has been a full 10 years!
10 years!

Atletico finally got over it.

Yang Hao also came to the end of his hardships.

Although it is not Yang Hao's style to squander unscrupulously, at least it is not like digging around.

It’s time for players to share in the results of the club’s management and development.

"Fernando, please immediately draw up a detailed reward plan. I want to use it to motivate the players before playing for Barcelona."

Yang Hao warned Chief Financial Officer Fernando Vazquez.

"clear."

Three days after the 29th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid will sit at home and face Barcelona!

This is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals!
……

Although ridiculed by countless Barcelona fans as the worst Barcelona president in history, former chairman Gaspart still left a rich legacy for Barcelona.

That is the Gamber Sports City located in the west of Barcelona city.

As Gaspart's bitter rival, Laporta rarely came to Gamber Sports City unless necessary after taking office.

It's more likely the technical director Begiristain, or the vice president in charge of competitive affairs Russell.

Therefore, whenever Laporta comes to Gamber Sports City, it often means that something important has happened.

In the 29th round of La Liga, Barcelona worked hard on the away road and narrowly defeated Real Mallorca 1-0 with Diego Milito's goal, but this did not reverse Barcelona's bad situation at all.

Valencia defeated Almeria 2-0 at home.

It can be said that the current situation in Barcelona is very bad.

Laporta's arrival at Gamber Sports City at this time also aroused speculation among everyone in the Sports City.

What is even more interesting is that technical director Begiristain did not accompany him.

Instead, Russell followed Laporta.

Mourinho had already received the news and greeted him outside the office building.

After meeting and greeting each other for a while, a group of people entered the conference room directly.

Outside, everyone is speculating, especially what happened when Begiristain was not accompanying him.

After several months of fermentation, the whole world knew that Barcelona's technical director was at odds with the head coach.

The conflict between the two intensified, and finally escalated to the point where Begiristain accused Mourinho of poor coaching and failed to suppress Valencia this season.

Mourinho, in turn, blamed Begiristain for the team's current poor results.

Why?

Because they missed out on a defensive core like Vidic during the summer transfer, they also failed to strengthen their signings during the winter break.

This contradiction between the two sides has obviously affected Barcelona's military morale.

This is not the first time management has tried to mediate and ease the conflict between Mourinho and Begiristain.

But the previous few times failed to achieve results.

When the team's performance is not ideal, everyone is under heavy pressure.

At this time, no one wants the blame to be placed on their head.

Before deciding to come to Gamber Sports City, Laporta held several meetings with the management and also solicited opinions from members. Basically, they all believed that Mourinho was the most suitable person for European football at the moment. Head coach of Barcelona.

Change coach?

This has never been a difficult decision for Barcelona.

The key is, after the coaching change, what to do next?
Who will replace Mourinho?

In other words, looking at the current European football world, who is qualified to replace Mourinho?

If they are not careful, if they miss out on qualifying for the Champions League again, will Barcelona still want to make a comeback?

Will Barcelona's bad situation of missing out on qualifying for the Champions League happen again?

Begiristain strongly recommends Guardiola, the assistant coach of Atletico Madrid and the Spanish national team. He believes that Guardiola has great wisdom and is a trustworthy head coach.

But the problem is, Guardiola has no coaching experience.

With the current tragic situation in La Liga, who dares to entrust the team's responsibility to a rookie with no experience?

Valverde, who coaches at Espanyol, is also one of the candidates considered by Barcelona, ​​and his coaching results are also good.

But he has never coached a wealthy team, which is also a major flaw.

Russell, the vice president in charge of sports affairs, supports Mourinho and agrees with Mourinho's point of view.

The reason why the team performed poorly during the season was because they did not provide sufficient support to the head coach in the transfer market at the beginning of the season.

But Soriano, the vice president in charge of finance, doesn’t see it that way and supports Begiristain.

This formed a schism in Barcelona's management.

Laporta finally managed to bridge this contradiction and make everyone put aside their prejudices temporarily.

But the first thing to bear the brunt is Mourinho's contract extension.

This is the second winning coach in Barcelona's history to win the Champions League.

Despite poor results this season, Barcelona fans trust Mourinho more and believe that the problem lies with Begiristain.

Therefore, Begiristain was criticized by Barcelona fans.

Laporta's trip is to reach a consensus with Mourinho on a contract extension.

But Laporta didn't expect that as soon as he sat down and talked about contract renewal, Mourinho put forward his opinions very straightforwardly.

"Judging from my coaching experience over the past few years and the situation in La Liga over the past few years, I think it is necessary for us to rebuild a new management structure and system."

Mourinho's words surprised everyone.

This is to get straight to the point and cut to the chase.

"In Atletico Madrid, we all know that Yang Hao has extremely high power. He is even more powerful than Ferguson at Manchester United."

"At Real Madrid, Wenger also received unconditional support and trust from the management, including the introduction of superstars."

"In Valencia, Ancelotti also has a lot of power."

When Mourinho said this, his eyes were fixed on Laporta.

"This is no accident. Juan, the organization of the club, is the basis of the team's performance on the pitch."

"No one knows better than me what the team needs. I have mentioned more than once that we need Vidic, but he is now in Real Madrid's lineup, and what about us?"

When Mourinho said this, he deliberately paused before continuing.

"I don't want to turn Barcelona into a battlefield, but when I lead the players to fight on the court, there are always people holding us back, preventing us from focusing and exerting 100% combat effectiveness."

"This is the biggest problem for the team now!"

"In fact, I am seriously worried about the frequent leaks. Are they accidental or intentional?"

When Mourinho mentioned the leak again, the meeting room suddenly exploded.

Everyone started talking about it.

In the past period, Barcelona's civil war dramas have come one after another, including several leaks.

Now, Mourinho mentioned it again. Although he did not mention it by name, he pointed the finger at Begiristain.

"I never thought about having more power and participating in more decisions. I have always made efforts, concessions, and even sacrifices to reduce conflicts."

"I have always put the responsibility of the club's head coach before personal interests." "But now, I feel that neither I nor the players can retreat any longer!"

Mourinho's words made Laporta frown involuntarily.

He understood the intention of these words, and he also knew Mourinho's intention.

This is forcing the palace!

He is forcing Laporta and the management to choose between him and Begiristain!

Begiristain is a meritorious figure in the club and a person who made a great contribution to Laporta's rise to power.

But Mourinho won Laporta the most important championship trophy during his tenure as chairman.

In this case, Laporta must make a choice.

……

Laporta and his party came and left again.

When Mourinho returned to the office, his close confidant Faria followed closely behind.

"What do you say?" Faria asked with concern.

As Mourinho's cronies, they all know exactly what is going on in today's meeting.

"They haven't given a clear explanation. They are still hesitating."

Mourinho didn't make it clear, but his meaning was very clear.

Want to renew?

Okay, choose one!

Laporta now wants to renew his contract with Mourinho, but he doesn't want to give up Begiristain.

In Barcelona, ​​they are their own people!
But that's exactly why Mourinho persists.

They have too many of their own in Barcelona.

Mourinho sat behind the desk, leaned back on the office chair, closed his eyes and rested.

Faria knew that he had something to think about, so he didn't bother him. When he turned to go out, he closed the door behind him.

Hearing the door closing, Mourinho opened his eyes slightly. When he was sure that he was the only one left in the office, he let out a breath.

He had no choice but to do so!

Many people feel that as the head coach of Barcelona, ​​​​he has led the team to win the Champions League and has made outstanding achievements. In the locker room under Mourinho's control, everyone should obey his orders.

But this is wrong!
Things like this only exist in imagination.

In reality, there is no such thing as obeying orders.

Everyone has their own position and interests. Even as the team's head coach, how can Mourinho represent the position of everyone in the locker room and satisfy everyone's demands?
When Mourinho was still working as an assistant to Robson and Van Gaal at Barcelona, ​​he had already learned a truth.

In the football locker room, from a management point of view, those players who are willing to obey the head coach, listen to the head coach's instructions, and implement the head coach's instructions and ideas are often a minority, or even a very small number.

Even for a head coach like Yang Hao who can almost be said to cover the sky with one hand, the players in the Atletico Madrid locker room who obey his orders may find it difficult to achieve even half of that.

This is human nature!
There are more players who appear to be obedient and cooperative, but lack subjective initiative and muddle along.

These players look like they are playing for you, but in reality, they never really obey you.

This situation abounds in companies.

You communicate with them, say you are good for them, fight for them, and help them grow, but in their eyes, these are like brainwashing, preaching, and PUA.

What you are saying and what he is thinking are not on the same channel at all. If both parties cannot urinate in the same pot, how can they cooperate?

At this time, we must concentrate all resources on those players who belong to us, and then use them to drive other players.

Disobedience?
It's okay, as long as you don't hold me back.

Then make appropriate use of the interests of these players to drive or even force them to cooperate with you.

Yes, cooperation, not demands or orders.

For those who are still unable to cooperate, the last option is to purge them from the team, replace them with a new group of obedient players, and increase the proportion of obedient and cooperative players in the locker room.

Want 100% complete control?

Even if Yang Hao was at Atletico Madrid, he couldn't do this kind of thing.

Mourinho has been facing this problem since he coached Barcelona.

He continues to increase the number of obedient and cooperative people in the locker room, but there are also players whose positions are constantly changing.

For example, local players such as Xavi and Puyol were the first to cooperate with Mourinho.

But I don’t know since when, their relationship with Mourinho became worse and worse, and they drifted away.

Mourinho is very clear that he now needs to do something more to induce or even force them to continue to cooperate.

But the existence of Begiristan has become his biggest obstacle!

Barcelona's technical director publicly opposed Mourinho, which was equivalent to sending a signal to the group of local players in the locker room, the group of players who could still cooperate with Mourinho.

Look, even the technical director can't stand it anymore. How long can Mourinho stay at Barcelona?
Is it still necessary to listen to him and cooperate with him?
This is fatal for Mourinho, or should I say, anyone who controls the Barcelona dressing room.

Therefore, Mourinho actually has no choice!
Between him and Begiristan, only one can stay!
Perhaps, this hidden danger had been laid as early as when he was coaching.

But now it seems that Barcelona's management has not yet made up its mind.

……

On the evening of October 3, Emirates Stadium in Madrid.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid faced Barcelona at home.

From the first minute of the game, Yang Hao felt strange.

What exactly was wrong, he couldn't tell at all.

It's just that Barcelona in the game gave him a very different feeling than in the past.

Even Mourinho seemed a little uninterested and lacked passion.

Before the game, when Yang Hao came over to shake hands with Mourinho, the Portuguese seemed very perfunctory.

In the game, Barcelona was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and Mourinho did not take effective measures. He mostly directed the game from the coaching bench.

On the court, Barcelona adopted a very conservative defensive counterattack strategy from the beginning.

This is strange.

Captain Puyol is out due to injury, but Barcelona will not be reduced to this situation.

Moreover, doesn’t Mourinho not know that retreating when facing Atletico Madrid is the most fatal thing?
Barcelona's conservatism allowed Atletico Madrid to smoothly control the situation, gain possession of the ball, and then control the situation.

When the game reached the 24th minute, Atletico Madrid had even pushed the defense past the center line.

Atletico Madrid's attack from the right failed, and Kaka passed back to Thiago Silva on the left side of the bottom of the center circle.

The Brazilian central defender passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the frontcourt.

In the 30-meter area outside the Barcelona penalty area, Marcelo caught the ball close to the left sideline.

Di Maria quickly made a diagonal pass from the left rib to the left side of the penalty area.

Marcelo sent a direct pass after being marked by Juanfran.

The Argentinian caught up with Marcelo's pass near the left baseline outside the penalty area, but was followed by Thiago Motta. He was forced to stop suddenly, dunk the ball back, and took two steps back. The knock back went to Marcelo.

Marcelo was still on the left sideline. Di Maria quickly crossed into the left corner of the penalty area. After receiving Marcelo's cross, he tried to cut inside, but Xavi followed him.

Iniesta quickly moved forward from the left rib and entered the penalty area.

But Di Maria couldn't find a chance to pass the ball and was forced to pass it back to the left sideline again, handing it to Marcelo who pulled out to catch the ball.

Barcelona's defense followed suit and Marcelo was forced to pass the ball back to Thiago Silva after receiving the ball.

At this time, the Brazilian central defender has pressed to the front of the 30-meter area.

Atletico Madrid's frequent cross-positioning on the wing and in the ribs creates a lot of trouble for the defending team.

Thiago Silva stopped the ball and immediately passed it across to Kaká, who retreated in the middle to receive the ball.

At this moment, Thiago Silva, Xavi Alonso and Pepe form a back three.

Kaka's back was facing the direction of the attack. After stopping the ball, he was interfered by Muntari and was forced to take it back. First, he made a move to stop and turn suddenly, and then suddenly passed the ball back to Xabi Alonso.

Almost at the same time, Messi ran horizontally in the frontcourt, as if to meet Kaká, but Alves advanced at high speed along the right.

Xabi Alonso faced Kaká's back pass and made a long overhead pass without stopping the ball, which accurately landed on the right side of the penalty area.

Alves moved forward at high speed, caught up with Xavi Alonso's pass, and crossed to the goal.

Adriano in the middle rushed over easily.

No matter how outstanding Buffon is, at this moment, facing Adriano who easily pushed the ball in front of the goal, the Italian goalkeeper was powerless and could only watch the football go into the net.

1 is better than 0!

The entire Emirates Stadium was boiling instantly!

More than 7 fans rushed out of the seats, shouting Adriano's name crazily.

The Brazilian center was equally excited and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.

From beginning to end, the ball was at Atletico Madrid's feet, and Barcelona didn't even touch it, let alone steal it.

This made Yang Hao feel very strange.

Turning his head, he glanced at the visiting team's coaching bench and found that the ball had been lost, but Mourinho did not react at all. He still sat in the coaching bench, as if the goal had not occurred at all.

what's the situation?
Yang Hao felt very puzzled.

This is not the Mourinho he knows.

What happened?
……

No one could answer Yang Hao's doubts, but the game on the court continued.

Players on both sides simply couldn't stop.

After Atletico Madrid scored the first goal, Barcelona still behaved very conservatively and still focused on defense.

But the problem is that Barcelona's defense is not well organized.

When they continued to retreat, Barcelona's defense was simply unable to stop Atletico Madrid's repeated interspersed movements, especially with their skillful passing and cutting.

In the 32nd minute, Atletico Madrid launched an attack on the right.

The three players Messi, Kaka and Alves cooperated on the right wing and right rib. When facing Barcelona's five defensive players, the three of them interspersed continuously.

First, Kaka passed the ball to Alves, and then quickly ran diagonally to the right in front of Alves.

Messi, who was originally on the right side of the penalty area, quickly retreated.

Alves took the ball diagonally towards the right rib and passed it to Messi's feet.

The Argentinian stopped the ball, turned around, and sent a diagonal pass back to the right.

Kaká moved forward at high speed and used his speed to stop the ball directly into the penalty area. He forced his way through Abidal's defense, broke into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, and passed the ball back in an inverted triangle near the baseline.

Messi just ran forward, rushed to meet Kaka's pass, and pushed the ball.

The football almost brushed the root of the right post and penetrated into the goal guarded by Buffon.

2 is better than 0!

The fans cheered again at the Emirates Stadium!

Yang Hao immediately turned his head and looked at the visiting team's coaching bench and found that Mourinho was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

It felt like this game had nothing to do with him.

has a problem!
There is definitely a problem!
Although Yang Hao was very sure of winning Barcelona in this game, he never expected it to be so easy.

The main reason is that Barcelona played without aggression tonight.

how to say?

They were acting too tame.

In fact, even the fouls were much less than usual.

This made Yang Hao feel very puzzled.

There is nothing like Mourinho in Barcelona tonight!
……

In the 41st minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid once again created a chance.

This time it was on the left. After Marcelo and Di Maria hit the wall in a one-two, Marcelo broke into Barcelona's penalty area from the bottom line and passed the ball across to the goal.

Adriano in the middle was interfered by Bruno Alves and Gabriel Milito, failed to grab the point in time, and missed the ball.

But at the later point, Messi rushed to meet Marcelo's pass and pushed the ball into Barcelona's goal again.

The Argentine jumped up with excitement and rushed out of the stadium, celebrating his second goal amidst the cheers of the Atletico Madrid fans.

Atletico Madrid entered the halftime break with a 3-goal lead.

Yang Hao was satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, but also mentioned Barcelona's problems.

He felt that Barcelona played a bit too negatively tonight and did not have the same energy as in the past, which is very unusual.

But this is not a bad thing at all for Atletico Madrid.

The Champions League is a two-leg, home and away elimination system.

Barcelona didn't perform well in the first round, so don't blame Atletico Madrid for being rude.

Therefore, Yang Hao asked everyone to keep up their efforts and strive to score more goals in the second half.

After changing sides in the second half, Atletico Madrid launched a wave of offensive from the beginning.

Barcelona's performance improved compared to the first half, and Mourinho also walked to the sidelines to direct the team's game.

The defense has also been significantly improved.

But in the 57th minute, with continuous passing and cutting from the right, Kaka suddenly sent an overhead pass.

Messi slanted into the penalty area from behind Abidal. After stopping the ball with his chest, he suddenly stopped and spiked the ball. After smashing the ball past Gabriel Milito who was chasing all the way, he shot low with his left foot and sent the ball into Barcelona. The far corner of the goal.

The football hit the inside of the left post and bounced into the goal guarded by Buffon.

4 is better than 0!

hat trick!

Messi couldn't be more excited!

Three days ago, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, he scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid, helping Atletico beat Real Madrid 3-3 away from home.

Three days later tonight, he scored another hat-trick against Barcelona at the Emirates Stadium.

The Argentine was so excited that he couldn't describe his excitement at this moment. He rushed to the sidelines crazily and kept shouting at the Atletico Madrid fans.

The fans at the scene also gave cheers and warm applause without hesitation.

……

After conceding 4 goals in a row, Barcelona suddenly seemed to wake up and began to strengthen the team's defense.

Atletico Madrid also slowed down its offensive appropriately, but still firmly controlled the initiative in the game.

Although Yang Hao doesn't know what happened to Mourinho and Barcelona, ​​4 goals are enough for Atletico Madrid.

After seeing that Barcelona had strengthened its defense, especially after replacing Tevez and Mohamed Diarra, it also began to provide strength to Atletico Madrid. Yang Hao also chose to give up when the situation was good.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 4-0 at home with Messi's hat trick.

Among them, before the end of the game, Suarez, who came on as a substitute, missed an excellent opportunity and was saved by goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon like a god.

Otherwise, this game would be 5-0.

And when Yang Hao walked over to the visiting team's coaching bench after the game and shook hands with Mourinho, he found that the Portuguese madman's expression was as normal and he didn't seem to be angry or disappointed because of a disastrous defeat.

This made Yang Hao feel very strange.

"You guys played abnormally tonight." Yang Hao said as he shook hands with Mourinho.

Mourinho shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Puyol's injury has had a great impact on us. The defense cannot be stable. As a result, the midfield cannot stand up, and the overall situation is passive."

"I was mentally prepared for this situation long before the game started."

Is that really all there is to it?

Yang Hao showed a trace of doubt.

But he didn't continue to ask or dig deeper, because it had nothing to do with him.

Yang Hao is well aware of Mourinho's situation in Barcelona.

Now, it is obvious that Barcelona's internal conflicts have seriously affected the team's combat effectiveness.

This didn't just start now, it happened long ago.

In fact, everyone knows that if it is not handled properly, Barcelona is likely to collapse, be stepped on by Valencia, and truly become the fourth in La Liga in the future.

"Take your time!" Yang Hao comforted.

Mourinho didn't say anything in front of Yang Hao, but at the post-match press conference, he defended the players' performance and believed that the team's 0-4 defeat to Atletico Madrid was due to inferior skills.

"Especially the defense, we've been suffering!"

"I really wanted to use our best players, but Puyol was injured and we had to make adjustments, but in the end, we couldn't stop Atletico's attack."

Although, Mourinho still insisted in the end that after returning to home court, Barcelona will try its best to break through Atletico Madrid's defense and strive to reverse its opponent.

But everyone knows that this possibility is almost zero.

Whether in the past or this season, Atletico Madrid under the coaching of Yang Hao has an overwhelming advantage over Barcelona.

After losing 0-4 in the first round, can we still make a comeback when we return to home court?

I'm afraid even Mourinho himself doesn't believe this.
