Chapter 128 Champion——

Many media feel that they have done something meaningless, which is to hype Atletico Madrid's unbeaten league.

In the past eighty years of Spanish football, no team has been able to win the championship with an unbeaten league record. In the 2003-2004 season, when Arsenal won the Premier League championship with an unbeaten league, many Spanish media mocked the Premier League for being "not competitive".

At that time, the Premier League was ranked under the Serie A. UEFA scored less than the La Liga. The competition between the two leagues was quite fierce. Spanish media had reason to say this to satirize the Premier League. They believed that Arsenal won the championship because of the competition in the Premier League.

Later, in the 2006-2007 season, Wan Sheng led Manchester City to win the championship with an unbeaten record and also set a historical record of Premier League championship points.

The Spanish media suddenly laughed.

The 2006-2007 season is different from a few years ago. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have all achieved good results in the UEFA Champions League, and the same is true for Manchester City. When Manchester City entered the Champions League quarter-finals, it was impossible to say that "the competition in the Premier League is not strong" is simply untenable.

At that time, Manchester City's unbeaten championship was even said to be in history.

That was created by Wan Sheng’s team.

Wan Sheng is now coaching Atletico Madrid, and after 34 rounds of the league, they still remain unbeaten. They also subconsciously hyped up Atletico Madrid's unbeaten.

But what does this count for Wansheng?

It is much easier to win the championship in the La Liga without a defeat than in the Premier League. Since they have already done it in the Premier League, the La Liga is actually not very meaningful.

For Atletico Madrid, being unbeaten in the league is definitely a great honor, but for Wan Sheng, it is nothing. The longest unbeaten record in history was created by him leading Manchester City. He led Atletico Madrid to continue unbeaten, so he could only strive to break his own record.

It is understandable that Wansheng doesn't care.

Many media suddenly felt that they were making a big fuss. They hyped for a long time, but the protagonist didn't care at all.

Due to the impact of the UEFA Champions League schedule, the 35th round of the league was held in two days, Barcelona was the first day of the game, and Atletico Madrid was the second day.

In this round, Atletico Madrid faced Malaga at Calderon Stadium.

The day before the game, the team received good news that Barcelona was tied 1-1 by Levante on the road.

Before this round of league, the difference between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona was 7 points, and Barcelona was forced to draw only one point. In other words, as long as Atletico Madrid defeated Malaga with skills, the difference between the two teams will become 9 points.

9 points, three games.

There are only 3 rounds left in the league.

According to the final ranking rules of La Liga, the same points must first be based on the winning or losing relationship. Atletico Madrid defeats Barcelona from home and away, and the winning or losing relationship will definitely be dominant. In other words, as long as you can defeat Malaga, Atletico Madrid can win the championship three rounds ahead of schedule.

Atletico Madrid fans are already very excited, and Atletico Madrid support media have also begun to report on it.

The club is ready to celebrate the celebration.

The Madrid City Plaza also began to fly the Atletico Madrid team flag, and all Atletico Madrid fans and relevant departments began to prepare to celebrate Atletico Madrid's championship.

The Madrid Municipal Government is already familiar with the championship celebration.

The only difference is that in previous years, Real Madrid was able to win league championships, but this time it was replaced by Atletico Madrid, but for the city government, the difference is not big.

Municipal officials and staff also have supportive teams, and the Real Madrid faction and Atletico Madrid faction are clearly different.

Now it's time to change to Atletico Madrid faction with happiness.

The game finally arrived.

Atletico Madrid fans flocked to the Calderon Stadium, looking forward to it. As long as Atletico Madrid defeated Malaga with skills, they would win the league championship.

Long before the game began, some old players were already in tears in the stands. Looking back on the last time the team won the league championship, it was dated back to the 1995-1996 season, which was 15 years ago. In the past 15 years, Atletico Madrid has never won a domestic championship.

In the 1995-1996 season, Old Hill invited Yugoslav Radomire Antik to reorganize the team in a lucky manner.

This year is undoubtedly the most brilliant for Atletico Madrid's century-old history. The team won the first double championship in history - the 9th league championship and the 9th Copa del Rey championship!

In the Spanish Cup of del Rey, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 1-0 with the performance of Prince Calderon - Kiko and the talented midfielder Caminello!

Atletico Madrid in 1996 pushed the club's century-old history to its peak!

But that's still the same thing... it was 15 years ago. In the whole 15 years, Atletico Madrid even fell into the second division. Now the team has finally risen again, and the league championship is right in front of us. Some fans who have experienced the 1995-1996 season can't help but get confused.

Below the audience stands, Spanish Football Association officials have arrived. They brought the league championship trophy and placed it in front of the players' passage.

Atletico Madrid undoubtedly hopes to win the game.

Being able to win the championship three rounds ahead of schedule can also be considered an honor. Many players can't wait to touch the championship trophy. This round is also a game held at Calderon Stadium. In the next round, Atletico Madrid will be on the away game.

According to Wan Sheng, "We must win this game!"

Malaga doesn't want to be a stepping stone for Atletico Madrid. They played very average this season. Although they ranked 11th in the league, they only have 3 more points than La Coruna, who is 18th in the league. It is impossible to guarantee that the team can successfully relegate. Every game is very important to them.

If you lose this game, the team's ranking will drop significantly, and the next three games will become more dangerous.

At the pre-match press conference, Malaga coach Ferreira expressed their determination, "I saw that many Madrid fans have begun to celebrate the championship in advance, and I was surprised because the game has not started yet!"

"I don't think Atletico Madrid will definitely win, that's an insult to us!"

"Of course, what they do has nothing to do with us, but we will do our best to relegate! If Atletico Madrid thinks it will definitely win, then they should be careful!"

Wan Sheng couldn't understand Ferrera's words.

If he was standing in Ferreira's position, he would definitely congratulate his opponent on winning the championship in advance, let his opponent relax his vigilance, and then when he got to the game, he might have a little more advantage.

The other party did not do this, but said openly, "We will do our best!" and reminded Atletico Madrid to be careful.

Isn’t this a reminder for Atletico Madrid to play seriously?

What a good person...

Ferreira said this to remind Atletico Madrid. Wan Sheng even felt that he didn't need to boost morale or anything. As long as he told Ferreira's words to all the players, there would be basically no suspense in the game.

After returning to the locker room, Wan Sheng repeated Ferreira's words first, and then said seriously, "I want to remind you again that you must play seriously. You all should know that many times the relegation team is more difficult to deal with than the championship team, because their failure is equivalent to entering the abyss! But we need the championship more! You all should know what our fans are doing. On the way, I saw some fans crying, and they really shed tears. They have been waiting for the league championship for too long, 15 years! How many 15 years are there in life? Our efforts for a season will not disappoint the fans in this game. We must win the championship at Calderon Stadium!"

"If we fail to win, that's a joke! The championship trophy is right in front of us, beat them and win the championship back!"

Atletico Madrid players are no less than fans' expectations for the championship.

Especially the old players of Atletico Madrid, such as Aguero, Fran, and Raul Garcia, they never thought that the team would have a chance to win the league championship before, but now the league championship is right in front of them, which is extremely tempting to them.

So in the game, Atletico Madrid worked as hard as he was fighting Barcelona.

Malaga acted very tenaciously.

However, there is a big gap in strength between the two sides, and coupled with the home advantage of Calderon Stadium, Atletico Madrid has no reason to play well.

Malaga only lasted for 20 minutes.

Next, Aguero used a wonderful solo performance to blow open the door that Malaga had been closed.

"Aguero! Aguero!"

“gooooooooooal!”

Calderon Stadium broadcast Juan Andres shouted excitedly, "Aguero once again showed his wonderful personal skills. He threw away two Malaga defensive players and shot against the penalty area line to help Atletico Madrid break through Malaga's goal!"

"Atlancia Madrid broke the deadlock, they have seen the victory!"

After Aguero completed the goal, the game was even better. If Malaga wants to get points, it must break through Atletico Madrid's goal, but their pitiful attack is difficult to achieve much effect in the frontcourt, so Malaga's offense is not as good as defense is not, and their formation is a bit messy.

In fact, Malaga did not have as coach Ferreira said, as he really had much fighting spirit.

In the La Liga standings, they do have only 3 points more than La Coruna, the 18th league. Normally, 3 points are just a game and are nothing, but for teams in the relegation zone, 3 points are also a lot, and the competitions of competitors are not easy to play. For example, La Coruna will encounter a game against Barcelona in the next round.

The match against Atletico Madrid was not under the planning of Malaga, and they did not have to get points in this game.

Ferreira's statement is just to "try to get what you can."

The current competition situation... there is no way to fight for it!

They have done the "try as much as possible", but the huge gap in strength between the two sides is in front of them, and Atletico Madrid scored another goal. Their attack was pitifully small and they were forced to defend the goal most of the time, and the game was very difficult.

So some Malaga players even thought that the game was hopeless in advance.

When players have similar ideas in their minds, it will be reflected in the game. For example, if some runnings that they think are unnecessary, they will not do, and when several players are like this, it will affect their overall performance.

In the 39th minute, Ozil broke into the penalty area and pushed the ball into the goal.

The Malaga defender ran a little slower, and Klose in the middle was no defense at all. He easily ran to the goal and shot against the ball.

"Klose! Klose!"

“2 to 0!”

"There is no suspense in the game! Atletico Madrid has already secured the championship ahead of schedule!"

The fans in the audience of Calderon Stadium cheered loudly, and the fans who watched the game through the big screen on the outside of the stadium also cheered at the same time.

The entire stadium, including the surrounding area, was filled with cheers, and many fans simply shouted the voice, "Champion!!" (To be continued.)
