Chapter 60 Christmas is coming
At the post-match press conference, Malaga coach Pellegrini seemed very low-key. He never said anything like "winning", but kept praising Atletico Madrid's frontcourt.
"Our strength is much worse, losing is inevitable."
"They performed well, the game was too fast, and we could only defend passively..."
"Atlanie Madrid's frontcourt is so good, Morris, Costa, Ozil, after this game, I even think their frontcourt is better than Barcelona and Real Madrid..."
“…………”
Pellegrini talked a few times before leaving the venue. Perhaps he knew that he was not the protagonist, and even said that the game was not the protagonist. What the media wanted to know was big news. In comparison, a big victory between a strong team and a weak team was nothing.
Wan Sheng continued to talk about the topics the media wanted to hear.
Instead of putting a word on the players who performed well in the game, he put it on the players of his arch-rival Real Madrid.
In the 16th round, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were played at the same time, and Real Madrid's opponent was La Coruña.
At the Bernabeu Stadium, the two teams staged a red and yellow card battle. Both sides won a total of 12 yellow cards and 2 red cards in the whole game. C-Ronaldo scored a wonderful goal in the second half, helping Real Madrid win this difficult victory 1-0.
When Atletico Madrid and Malaga matches ended, Real Madrid and La Coruña matches ended.
Wan Sheng knew the final result, and then he had something to say at the press conference.
"I always think that Ronaldo is a genius, he is the only and the best one on earth!"
"Real Madrid's victory depends on Ronaldo, otherwise Mourinho's team would not be that simple to win. La Coruña is not easy to deal with. They tied us at Calderon Stadium in the last round, and Real Madrid won at Bernabeu because they have Ronaldo and we don't..."
"Nevertheless, we can still beat the Madrid derby because Mourinho's team can't beat my team..."
"But I think any football coach in the world wants to get a talent like Ronaldo, and I am the same. If he can choose to come to Calderon, I will welcome him with both hands and be willing to pay enough for it..."
“…………”
The media supporting Real Madrid felt very unhappy when they heard these words, because Wan Sheng almost shouted, "Ronaldo will change jobs and come to Atletico Madrid!"
If this is what other coaches said, they don’t have to pay attention to it, but Wan Sheng is different. He has a great influence. The team he coaches Atletico Madrid is currently capable of introducing C-Ronaldo.
This is the problem.
c-Ronaldo is unlikely to leave Real Madrid, but what if? If c-Ronaldo himself plans to leave, he has the possibility of going to Atletico Madrid.
In addition, there is something that makes them very upset.
Wan Sheng did not mention Pepe again after the game, but focused on C-Ronaldo. This does not mean that this young Chinese gave up Pepe, but that he believes that there is no need to say much to introduce Pepe. In other words, Pepe is "probably" already half an Atletico Madrid person.
This panics the supportive media of Real Madrid, and other media also believe that they have found news worthy of big book.
The post-match report is conceivable.
When the 16th round of the La Liga ended, almost all Spanish media were talking about what Wan Sheng said, whether it was possible for two Real Madrid players, Pepe and C-Ronaldo, to switch to Atletico Madrid.
Of course, the two of them have to take it out and discuss it separately.
The possibility of Pepe switching to Atletico Madrid is very high. He is already labeled as a "director" by Wansheng. When Wansheng comes to Madrid and calls him, if he has the opportunity to leave, Pepe may choose to leave.
c-Ronaldo is different.
c-Ronaldo joined Real Madrid Club for transfer, which has nothing to do with Mourinho himself. If you really count it, c-Ronaldo will not have any good feelings for Mourinho or Wan Sheng. When he was in the Premier League, as a Manchester United player, he was a lot of mocking by these two people.
Now Mourinho is the head coach of Real Madrid, and C-Ronaldo can only play under Mourinho.
Regardless of the relationship between C-Ronaldo and Mourinho, in fact, his position is definitely the most stable among Real Madrid, and the club will not allow anyone to put C-Ronaldo on the bench.
c-Ronaldo is highly valued at Real Madrid and has performed well in La Liga and Champions League.
But the key point is that in recent years, Real Madrid has not performed stably in domestic and international arenas. It is not easy for Real Madrid to win the league championship this season. They have two opponents - Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
If he is unable to win the championship for a long time, will c-Ronaldo consider leaving?
"Very likely!"
Lilma, a famous Spanish football editor, gave the answer, "Any professional player will pursue the championship, especially those successful professional players, who are even more obsessed with the championship. The championship brings not only team honors, but also closely related to personal honors."
"The reason why Pele is called the King of Football is because he led Brazil to win the World Cup three times, thus helping Brazil save the Remitt Golden Cup forever. Pele is also the only player in football history to win the World Cup three times."
"The reason why Maradona is called the King of Football is because he led Argentina to rise and stood on the top of the world - twice."
"Some modern awards, such as the Golden Ball Award, Footballer, various best players, etc., are also related to the team's honor and pampering. This is also the reason why last year's Golden Ball Award belonged to Messi - Barcelona is an unprecedented 'six-champion', while Real Madrid won nothing."
"If Real Madrid cannot regain its glory, not only Ronaldo, but other stars will also have the intention to leave, because what they need is more than high salaries..."
Lilma's article gave Real Madrid a heavy blow!
According to rumors, after reading the report, Florentino, chairman of Real Madrid Club, directly tore the newspaper to pieces, and then he called Mourinho, and the two talked in the office for a long time.
"Maybe the Portuguese have given a lot of guarantees, but whether they can be fulfilled depends on the performance of their opponents..."
The Ass said sarcastically.
"Marca" believes that Real Madrid is the strongest team in history. Although his arch rival Barcelona is also strong, Barcelona's lead is only temporary. "By the end of the league, the championship will definitely belong to Real Madrid."
As for Atletico Madrid?
The report article did not even mention it, just like there was no Atletico Madrid in the championship team, but anyone knows that "Marca" did this on purpose. As a loyal surrounding of Real Madrid, they are quite hostile to Atletico Madrid.
But it doesn't matter.
Wansheng read a lot of media reports and he was quite satisfied. What’s important is that he caused a lot of trouble for the Portuguese.
He is happy to see that his opponent is in trouble.
After the league with Malaga ended, there was no league before the winter break, but the team had not yet relaxed, and they still had a Cup of Kings to play, which was the last game before Christmas.
Three days later, Atletico Madrid welcomed its rival Espanyol.
From the fifth lap of the Spanish Cup, the schedule became a home and away game to decide the winner. Atletico Madrid drew Espanyol and had to play a game at Calderon first, and then in January, go to Espanyol's home court to play the second round, and then use the total score of the two rounds to decide which team advances to the next round.
No matter what the competition system is, Atletico Madrid doesn’t have much pressure.
The 13th round of the league, Atletico Madrid and Espanyol are still vivid in my mind, and that game also made Espanyol remember it deeply. They lost seven goals in the whole game. By the end, many players stopped running and even looked weak in defending the goal. The only thing to be happy is that in the previous round, Almeria lost 8 goals to Barcelona. They were not the tragic side of the game with the biggest score gap in the season.
Before the game started, Espanyol head coach Pochettino seemed much low-key, and many media remembered that Pochettino said, "We are not a team that will be easily defeated." Then Espanyol lost seven goals, so Pochettino simply said nothing, just talked about the team's injury situation and some trends during the winter break.
The two teams' games are also very "low-key".
Compared to the last time the two teams fought, Espanyol had a lot of tight defense. Obviously, after gaining experience, they were very alert to Atletico Madrid's offense and would not easily reveal too many flaws.
Atletico Madrid still has a huge advantage on the field, but it is not that easy to break the goal of Espanyol.
The first goal of the game only took place 49 minutes.
That was just the beginning of the second half. Perhaps the 15-minute break in the intermission made the Espanyol players too relax. When Ozil broke through to the penalty area line, they rushed to block the blocking and Morris' position became empty.
Ozil grabbed the space and pushed the ball out, followed Uyfalusi and passed it straight to the right, Morris followed and shot directly!
Espanyol goalkeeper Cameni was quite calm. After he made a judgment accurately, he rushed directly towards the direction of the football.
Cocameni's movements were slower.
By the time he reached the position, the football had already flown into the net first!
“1 to 0!”
"Morris helped Atletico Madrid take the lead!"
After Morris scored, Atletico Madrid played more easily, but Espanyol's defense was also more stable. Except for forward Osvaldo, other players returned to the backcourt to participate in the defense. They were all piled in front of the goal, leaving Atletico Madrid with no room to shoot.
The human sea tactics are undoubtedly the best defense.
Although Atletico Madrid's frontcourt players have good abilities, they still failed to break the Espanyol goal until the last minute of the game. There is no guarantee of victory 1-0, and the suspense remains to the next round.
This is the last game before Christmas.
After the game, Wan Sheng gathered all the players, said a few words of Christmas blessings, and warned them not to die on the woman's belly. Then he said simply, "That's it, remember the gathering day, I don't want to see anyone late!"
Everyone scattered.
Wan Sheng also turned around and left. Before leaving, he only glanced at Isco. (~^~)
