My perfect shot shocked the whole world

After the match with Deportivo La Coruna, Atletico Madrid's record is 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 16 points, behind Barcelona with 6 wins, 1 draw and 19 points, and tied for second place with Sevilla.

And Lin Ran, who scored two goals in this game, also scored a total of 14 goals, and rode the top scorer list.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is behind him, has only scored six goals in seven league games, less than half of him.

In addition, Lin Ran has three assists, which is also in the top ten on the assist list.

As soon as these two data were released, everyone's eyes were immediately blinded.

This performance is really dazzling!

For a while, Lin Ran's fame has reached a new level.

For Lin Ran's fame, the happiest thing is the few companies that have just signed endorsement contracts with Lin Ran.

They all wanted Lin Ran's fame to be as big as possible.

In this way, they can maximize their benefits.

And for Atletico Madrid, the rise of Lin Ran is also a great thing.

This not only represents the enhancement of the team's strength, but more importantly, the increase in Lin Ran's commercial value will bring a steady stream of income to the club.

According to the statistics of the club's operation department, since Lin Ran entered the first team, the number of jersey sales of the club in China has skyrocketed.

The jerseys sold there now are basically Lin Ran's No. 12 jerseys.

In addition, there is a share of the broadcast of each match, because the Chinese TV station broadcasts the Atletico Madrid match every time.

This makes their broadcast revenue much higher.

On the local side of Madrid, Lin Ran's jersey sales are also showing explosive growth, and there are faint signs of surpassing Torres.

All these changes, the club sees in the eyes and is happy in the heart.

You must know that Lin Ran didn't cost them a penny.

Now that it has been developed with such a large commercial value, this is simply a lot of profit!

So the club's current attitude towards Lin Ran is to be an ancestor.

The club's hierarchy has already spoken to Aguirre.

They have only one requirement, they must make every effort to ensure Lin Ran's playing time.

In addition, the whole team now has to try to arrange tactics around Lin Ran.

Aguirre was not resistant to the club's request.

Even if the club doesn't mention it, he's doing it.

Atletico's initial tactics were based on Torres as the core of the tactic, with Petrov and Maxi supporting one on the left and one on the right.

But then Maxi and Petrov were injured and replaced one after another, so it became Lin Ran and Aguero to assist Torres.

But to be a support, it doesn't mean that you have to give the ball to the core to complete the final shot.

If you have the right chance, you can also finish the shot.

This gave Lin Ran a chance.

He hasn't had many chances in the last few games.

But in the limited opportunities, he took them all.

The efficiency of the goal is very high.

This left the coach and the players speechless.

After all, the football stadium is a place where strength speaks.

If you can prove yourself with your own strength, then others have to be convinced.

Torres has also scored three goals in the previous games. In fact, this result cannot be said to be bad.

But compared with Lin Ran, he became a foil.

In this case, if Lin Ran is asked to be an assistant to Torres again, it will be too much to say.

But he couldn't let Torres go back to assist Lin Ran.

In that case, the fans and the club will certainly not be happy either.

After all, Torres is Atletico's own child, absolutely his own person.

As a result, Aguirre had to start thinking about the team's new tactical play.

All he can think of now is to change the team's formation to 4-4-2, with Lin Ran and Torres forming a frontcourt duo, and the midfielder standing in a diamond position, allowing Aguero to become a forward midfielder to respond to Lin Ran and Torres.

Under such a formation, Atletico's attacking power will not be weakened, but the thickness of the midfield will be increased, and the connection between the front and back will be tighter.

However, this formation has higher requirements for the two center forwards in front of the breakthrough, and their individual combat ability must be strong. You must have the ability to tear apart the opponent's defense by relying on your individual ability.

And this, for neither of them, is a problem.

So this formation became Aguirre's first choice.

Wednesday's Copa del Rey was a testing ground for that formation.

And Levante, who is Atletico Madrid's opponent, has become the experimental object of Aguirre's new formation.

And Levante is also very suitable as a test subject.

This team, which has been fighting for relegation every season, is not outstanding, which helps Aguirre to identify problems in time and make adjustments accordingly while ensuring the team's results.

In the past few days of training and preparation, Aguirre has also been letting the team practice this new formation.

However, after all, it is a new formation, and there are still some flaws in the process of drills.

There wasn't much time left for them, though, and Wednesday's Copa del Rey game was fast approaching.

Since it was an away game, the whole Atletico Madrid team arrived at Valencia a day early.

This port city now has two La Liga teams, one is La Liga powerhouse Valencia, and the other is Atletico Madrid's opponent Levante.

As a promoted horse in La Liga, Levante does not have too high expectations in the league. As long as you can be relegated.

Therefore, the Copa del Rey, which is a knockout round, has become a key game for them.

They are counting on the possibility of a dark horse in this kind of cup competition and achieving good results.

And in the history of the Copa del Rey, there are indeed many dark horses.

Before the format was changed, there were often teams in the second or even third division who beat La Liga teams in a surprise.

And a single match against a La Liga team could change the financial situation of these small clubs for a year.

This has made many teams that are not good or at the lower level pay special attention to this competition.

However, now that the format has changed, lower-division teams that want to play La Liga teams must first pass three rounds of qualifying, and then the teams that fight out of the encirclement will have a chance to play La Liga teams.

The Copa del Rey has only been joined by La Liga teams since the fourth round, and they are still joined by teams that do not have European competitions.

That is, the team after the seventh place in the league last season.

These teams were drawn in a mixed draw with more than a dozen lower-league teams who won the first three rounds, after two rounds of elimination.

The remaining nine teams will be in the round of 16 with the top seven teams from last season in La Liga.

Atletico finished 10th in the league last season, so they could only start playing in the Copa del Rey in the fourth round.

And it drew Levante, which is also in La Liga, among the other teams, and I have to say that it was a little less lucky.

Of course, for Levante, the luck of drawing Atletico Madrid, which is stronger than him, in the first round, is even more diminished.
