Chapter 388 Only One Game
Chapter 388 Only One Game
Chapter 388 It's Just a Game
Atletico Madrid spent a lot of physical and mental energy in narrowly beating Bolton in the away game, and the whole team seemed a little tired.He gave the players a day off, but after resuming training, the players still couldn't lift their spirits.
Jiangshan knows that every time the season enters February, the team will enter a fatigue zone. It is easy to make mistakes at this stage. If the team is bitten, it will be able to hit the final championship.
Atletico Madrid is still fighting on three lines. The league, UEFA Cup and Copa del Rey are all going on. The team lineup is not thick enough and must be rotated.
Jiangshan is a bit of a headache, the league can be put on hold for a while, they have a 5-point lead, and there is still room for mistakes. In other games, there is no room for mistakes.
"The team has reached the bottleneck. During this time, can we rush over?" Pochettino was very nervous, "Or give up the Copa del Rey? Next season and compete for this championship?"
Jiang Shan didn't speak, next season?When Pep Guardiola's team is formed, they want to grab all the championships, and they will give us a chance next season?Next season, Jiang Shan feels that if he can win a championship in the crazy run of Barcelona, it will be a huge success.
Copa del Rey champion?The portion is not enough!
Moreover, the hope of winning the Copa del Rey this season is greater than next season. Real Madrid and Barcelona will rise next season. Now they are in a state of chaos. Jiangshan also promised to let Pochettino arrange the Copa del Rey next season.
"The league is rotating, and we are facing Racing Santander in the Copa del Rey. There is great hope of advancing."
In the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid has not yet met Barcelona and Valencia. Fortunately, Racing Santander is much less difficult than these two teams.The teams in La Liga are strong and weak. As long as the team's abuse is more stable, they will definitely be able to advance.
In these few rounds of the league, Atletico Madrid has been particularly struggling. They were tied by Murcia at home, giving them valuable points on the road to relegation, and Atletico Madrid sent two points in the two rounds.
Then at home, Atletico Madrid and Bolton were inseparable. The whole game, the two teams failed to score.
Abbiati performed well, saving consecutive one-handed goals from Anelka and Diouf to keep the goal clean.Atletico Madrid's offense was also blocked. Bolton's Nolan and Matthew Taylor, coupled with Joey O'Brien's lethal play, made Atletico Madrid's strikers uncomfortable.
Unable to score, the two teams finally shook hands and made a draw. Jiangshan's team advanced to the top 1 of the UEFA Cup with a 0:0 away game and 0:[-] home record.
In the extremely dangerous competitive state, Jiang Shan still has lingering fears.When the reporter asked about winning the championship after the game, Jiang Shan said bluntly, "Our focus is on the league, and our primary task is to keep the league leader."
"As for the UEFA Cup competition, we will carry out a certain rotation. This kind of competition is very difficult. It is too early to talk about winning the championship. This year's UEFA Cup opponents are particularly strong, and Bayern has entered. Our goal is definitely the championship, but whether we can win the championship requires a lot of luck."
"The matter of winning the championship, let's talk about it after we reach the quarterfinals!"
The opponent of the UEFA Cup round of [-], the Portuguese Super League Sporting Lisbon team, is a tough nut to crack.Fortunately, Bamboo Di Maria was able to play in the UEFA Cup, otherwise his team would have one less change and it would be more difficult.
In the next few league games, Atletico Madrid played very hard, constantly adjusted, and drew at home. In the 25th round, Atletico Madrid played away against Zaragoza and lost, leaving only 2 points in the lead.
I would also like to thank Real Madrid for also failing a game, otherwise Atletico Madrid's points will be tied and there is still an advantage.
Of course, there is also good news. Atletico Madrid challenged Sporting Lisbon away and won 1-0 as usual, taking the opportunity to advance. As long as they return to home unbeaten, they can enter the quarterfinals.
At that time, Jiangshan will look forward to the championship and make new strategic adjustments.The Copa del Rey drew away and almost lost to Racing Santander. The score was 1:1, which was a bit uncomfortable.
In the next two weeks, Atletico Madrid has accumulated several key battles, the UEFA Cup and the Copa del Rey, which must be extremely thrilling. In the next league game, Atletico Madrid will face Barcelona, which is third in the league, at home.
They have reached the top three again. Although Rijkaard's coaching position is still unstable, but the players are strong, and abuse is still no problem.
Such a schedule is particularly painful for Atletico Madrid, and if it is a little careless, the entire season will be abolished.
"We are still a little far away from Atletico Madrid, but they have to stay strong in the league and the Copa del Rey, so even if we play away, the advantage is still on our side." Rijkaard is confident, "We want to win the game and reach the top two as soon as possible."
"Our goal is still the La Liga title."
Rijkaard is still playing as the head coach, and he can still play.Real Madrid's head coach Schuster has already dismissed get out of class. Real Madrid immediately fired the head coach after being eliminated in the top 2 of the Champions League. The move was quick. Even though Real Madrid is still No.[-] in the league, they still fired the head coach.
Jiang Shan was speechless about Rijkaard's statement. What are these people thinking?He is obviously a chaser, but he still has the attitude of a superior. The La Liga duo is used to it, and hasn't encountered a spoiler coming in yet?
Back then, Super Deportivo and Valencia both won the league championship under the siege of Barcelona and Real Madrid, but the follow-up was weak and unsustainable. After the players were divided up, they were immediately eliminated, and there was no way to secure the seat of the giants.
Jiangshan didn't bother to pay attention to Rijkaard's statement, he was just attracting attention. For this game, Jiangshan readjusted the lineup.
The defensive line remains unchanged, with more and thicker midfielders. Garcia, Khedira, Vidal and Gabi played, plus Aguero, leaving Torres alone in the forward line.
Ready to fight back, what can Barcelona do to us?
After the start of the game, Atletico Madrid showed a good state. The front and rear counters were particularly fierce. Neither Xiaobai nor Harvey could easily control the ball, and the frontcourt players also had difficulty advancing.
Yaya Toure came up and was immediately surrounded by two people. After losing the ball, his speed of returning to the defense was not fast. Atletico Madrid's counterattack power suddenly increased, and Aguero rushed faster than Torres.
Torres was brilliant, receiving a pass from Aguero, firing a low shot and scoring immediately.In the opening 10 minutes, Atletico Madrid immediately took the lead.
Jiang Shan hasn't stood up from the coach's bench yet!The team is already ahead.
"It's great, Jiangshan, we are leading." Pochettino celebrated like a head coach, "It turns out that during the rotation during this period, you have guaranteed the physical fitness of this group of players. It's amazing, it's amazing."
Jiang Shan rolled his eyes, "Keep a low profile, it's just a game. There's no need to get too excited."
