These media were very disappointed with Atletico Madrid's starting roster. The focus of this game was the battle between Torres and Lorent.

But I didn't expect Cooper to make such a big change in the starting list. Although this is unexpected, it is reasonable.

Because Atletico Madrid's main direction is the League Cup, it should be acceptable for the league to keep the top four. If possible, it would be better to get the second place. As for winning the league championship, it should be unrealistic.

Because the La Liga this season is very chaotic, all teams have shown strong abilities, and even Barcelona, ​​which ranks first, is only 78 points.

Although the points are not high, Barcelona should be the most stable team among all teams. If there is no big surprise, the La Liga champion this season should be Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid's goal is to win the League Cup, after all, the team has not won the championship for a long time, and although Atletico Madrid has performed well at this time.

However, the lineup is not complete. Cooper has only made a stage in the team's transformation. If Cooper stays in office next season, his transformation of Atletico Madrid will inevitably continue.

If Atletico Madrid achieves good results this season, the board of directors will continue to invest in the team, so Atletico Madrid should be said to be not qualified to win the championship this season.

But if next season, Atletico Madrid should have hope of winning the championship, because after a season of training, the young players of Atletico Madrid should become more mature, so Atletico Madrid will be the team worth looking forward to next season.

But this is all a story. Now Atletico Madrid is going to play every game well, and then wait until the end of the season, and then see what kind of results they will achieve.

But first of all, we must pay attention to this game, the attention of the game caused by the opponent's two forwards. Although Torres did not play, Mark is also the number one scorer of Atletico Madrid after all.

Mark has scored twenty goals with Atletico Madrid, the top scorer in the team, and Torres has only scored eighteen goals.

Moreover, Mark's position is not always above the forward position. Mark needs to attack and bears most of the defense responsibilities. Therefore, Mark's goal efficiency this season is greater than Torres.

Although Mark's partner Salva in this game is a famous forward in La Liga, Salva's competitive state has declined very quickly, so Salva has completely become a substitute forward this season.

Especially after Mark took the starting striker, his position as a substitute on Atletico Madrid has become more stable.

Among the Athletic Bilbao, there is also a veteran, that is, their team's main striker Ursais. Ursais is also a famous high center forward in La Liga, with a height of 1.88 meters, but due to age, Ursais' injuries have increased.

So although Lorent has not been able to become the main player, it should also be the hope for Athletic Bilbao's future. It should take not long to talk about it, and Lorent should be able to replace Ursace's main player.

The game began soon. In this game, Atletico Madrid adopted a four-four-two formation, and Athletic Bilbao was also a four-four-two formation. Lorent and Ursace both appeared in the starting lineup.

The combination of these two double centers should cause a great difficulty for Atletico Madrid's defense, because Urses is 1.88 meters tall, while Lorent's height reaches 1.93 meters tall.

This is a very difficult height for the central defenders in the entire La Liga. Although Atletico Madrid's Baborro is 1.91 meters tall, in terms of height, if he defends Lorent, there should be no problem.

But another central defender, Perea, is only about 1.8 meters tall, and Urses, who is 1.88 meters tall, should be a bit difficult.

As expected, Athletic Bilbao took advantage of the cheers of their home fans after the start of the game and launched a strong attack on Atletico Madrid.

Originally, Athletic Bilbao's main formation was a four-two-three-one formation. Generally, the teams would line up a single forward formation, while Athletic Bilbao directly lined up their double center formation in this game.

This should be the one that Athletic Bilbao wants to eat Atletico Madrid directly at home and then directly score three points to narrow the gap with the guitar team in the standings.

It is obvious that Athletic Bilbao's pre-match tactics were very reasonable, and the players on their field worked very hard, and the first half was fifteen minutes.

Urses beat Perea in the penalty area, and then headed the ball to break through the player Franco's hand. It seems that the gap in height is not easy to make up.

Although Urses is old, his nearly ten centimeters tall and he has an absolute advantage in fighting for the header.

After Urses scored, the entire San Mames Stadium seemed to have suddenly become a sea of ​​joy. In the small stadium, loud shouts from Athletic Bilbao fans broke out.

Mark was also shocked by this atmosphere. Mark did not expect that the fans of this stadium would be so crazy. This is something Mark had never encountered in other La Liga teams.

But at this time, Mark also thought in his heart that he must conquer the St. Mames Stadium and let the fans of this stadium know that Mark is here to conquer them.

After the game restarted, Atletico Madrid started attacking, and Atletico Madrid quickly used the attack from two sides and then passed the football to the right.

The left-back of Athletic Bilbao is Del Orno. Del Orno is a player with strong offense and weak defense. At the same time, his ability to intervene in offense is also an Athletic Bilbao scoring weapon. During his time in Bilbao, he scored 13 goals in the league. In September 2004, he represented the national team in the first match against the Scottish men's football team. Two months later, he scored a winning goal for Spain.

It can be said that Del Orno is the best left-back in the La Liga and the main left-back of the Spanish national team, but Del Orno's offensive ability is still a big gap compared to his defensive ability.

So at this time, Mark also ran to the right to assist Jorge in the offense. When Jorge passed the football to Mark, Mark began a one-on-one fight with Del Orno.

This was the first one-on-one challenge between the two of them in this game. At this time, Mark did not have too much entanglement with Del Orno. Mark directly broke through Del Orno's defense with speed.

Then he ran towards the bottom line, and Del Orno was not idle either. At this time, Del Orno saw Mark's breakthrough, he also pulled Mark and then directly fell to the ground.

Atletico Madrid got a free kick opportunity, but the free kick opportunity was not very good. Since the position was close to the sideline, even if you shot directly, the chance was not very big.

But this time Mark still came to take the free kick, and Mark quickly took a shot directly. However, due to the angle, although Mark's free kick's quality was very good.

But after all, Mark is a right-footed player, so the angle of the free kick Mark gave was still obtained by Athletic Bilbao's goalkeeper Alan Subiya.

After Alan Subiya got the football, he also quickly threw the ball and attacked. Then the Athletic Bilbao players had almost no cooperation and passed the football into the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid.

This is also a tactical style of Athletic Bilbao in this game, which is to rely on their two centers to attack Atletico Madrid's defense line.

This is a very effective tactical arrangement, because Atletico Madrid's midfield defense is very tight, and it is not easy to hit the football into Atletico Madrid's penalty area through the cooperation of the midfield.

So Valverde, the head coach of Athletic Bilbao, obviously had made a very specific study on Atletico Madrid's tactics before the game.

However, although Atletico Madrid's central defender has certain disadvantages when competing for headers, it does not mean that every attack from Athletic Bilbao can definitely be achieved.

This time, Bilbao's offense was attacked by Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Franco, and then punched the ball out of the penalty area with both fists.

Then after Korsa got the football, he passed it to Jorge on the right side again, asking Jorge to organize the attack, but Jorge did not organize it much.

He passed the football to Mark again. Atletico Madrid's pass was very fast. After Mark got the football at this time, he and Del Orno stood in almost parallel positions one by one.

At this time, Mark once accelerated and broke through Del Orno's defense again. Del Orno knew very well that Mark's speed was very fast, although Del Orno's speed was not slow either.

But if compared with Mark, it would be really not enough, so Del Orno took advantage of Mark's speed before he raised the highest speed, and he still grabbed Mark's jersey like the last time, and prevented Mark from rushing.

After Mark was pulled behind by Del Orno, he was unable to rush up. At the same time, Mark lost control of the football and stopped. The football also came out of the bottom line at this time.

At this time, Mark spread his hands to the referee. Mark seemed to be persecuted, and he looked a little pitiful.

"This is OK, won't you show it?" Mark also shouted to the referee at this time.

The referee also ran over quickly at this time. The referee once again awarded a free kick to Atletico Madrid, and at the same time he also showed a yellow card to Del Orno.

This is because after Mark broke through Del Orno, no one defended Mark on the wing. If Athletic Bilbao wants to defend Mark, it must have a central defender to fill up Del Orno.

So under this situation, Del Orno's tactical foul seemed very serious, so the referee's warning to Del Orno this time was not too much.

This is the first yellow card of this game. This yellow card should also put a lot of pressure on Del Orno's defense next, because there is already a yellow card on him. If Del Orno gets another yellow card next, he will be sent off the court.

So if Mark faces Del Orno's defense next, it should be relatively relaxed.

"That's how Mark." Cooper, who was on the coach's seat at this time, nodded repeatedly because in his tactical arrangement, the players of Atletico Madrid made more use of the gaps on the left side of Athletic Bilbao to do more work.

Because a left guard who is good at attacking is always a double-edged sword. When the left guard is inserted into the attack, if the attack is too deep, it will be difficult to come back, so it will be a big hidden danger when defending.

Cooper wanted Atletico Madrid players to take advantage of this hidden danger of Athletic Bilbao and then strive to use this opportunity to score.

It was obvious that Mark had already remembered Cooper's words. Although Mark seemed a little absent-minded when Cooper's tactical arrangement, he clearly remembered Cooper's tactical arrangements in his mind.

After seeing the referee showing him a yellow card, he also wanted to explain, but it was obvious that the referee was not in the mood to listen to Del Orno's explanation, and the referee still maintained his penalty.

Even at this time, the Athletic Bilbao fans booed dissatisfiedly, but they did not change the referee's penalty this time. The referee was also warning Del Orno to pay attention to his foul action.

The referee's meaning is very clear, that is, if Del Orno makes such a tactical foul that is close to the yellow card, the referee will not show mercy. Although he is now at Athletic Bilbao, the referee's law enforcement in this game is very strict.

Mark took the free kick again, but Mark took the free kick this time even more outrageous than the last time, and he was not able to hit the goal of Athletic Bilbao.

The football flew directly out of the baseline. Athletic Bilbao got a chance to score a goal, and the players from both sides continued to attack on the court.

Since Atletico Madrid had a goal first, their players must also attack. Only by attacking can they get the chance to score.

And Athletic Bilbao seems to be not very at ease with a goal lead. They want to continue to expand their leading advantage and then directly lock in the victory of the game.

This is also because Athletic Bilbao is very unconfident in their team's defense, because Athletic Bilbao itself is a team good at attacking. In Athletic Bilbao's dictionary, offense is always the best defense, so they did not shrink their hands after leading, but instead tried harder to strengthen their offense.

This may be the crux of Athletic Bilbao this season. In the previous games, because Athletic Bilbao did not defend much at all, so when their offense was unfavorable, they were often sneaked up by some teams with lower strength than him.

The game ended in the 25th minute, Athletic Bilbao attacked, and at this time Del Orno had already pushed on the attack. Mark saw that Del Orno had pressed on the attack.

He also quickly came to the midfield to participate in the defense. In fact, Mark wanted to defend Del Orno's offensive rhythm.

Del Orno is still very confident in his offensive ability, but he is not yet arrogant, because Del Orno was driving the ball to attack at this time, and there was a large open area behind him.

If Del Orno lost the football at this time, he would not have time to make any rescue moves, so Del Orno passed the football to Yester on the wing at this time, and then he stood near the midfield and prepared to cooperate with Yester.

On the side of Athletic Bilbao, their main offensive direction seems to be set on the left side. Although in the lineup of Athletic Bilbao, their offensive ability on the right side is also very strong, because the right forward Echeberia is the captain of their team and the core of the field.

But it seems that Athletic Bilbao still hopes to use their left defense to directly take Atletico Madrid's offense back.

At this time, the football was passed to Yester's feet, but at this time, Jorge was also defending him.

Yester was defended by Jorge at this time, and he did not have a better chance to dribble the ball, but Yester was ready to break through Jorge at this time. If he could break through Jorge, there would be a lot of room in the frontcourt for him to perform.

So at this time, Yester chose a crotch-walking ball and directly broke through Jorge's defense. Jorge obviously was not prepared for Yester's breakthrough this time, so he watched Jorge break through.

But just as Yester was secretly happy and ran towards the frontcourt, then directly got the football and continued to advance, Yester discovered a gray figure beside him, directly surpassing him behind him, and then got the football.

This gray figure is Mark. After Mark started behind Yester at this time, he got football before Yester. This time it was time for Atletico Madrid to counterattack.
