After the Copa del Rey final at the Bernabeu, Madrid was torn apart by two very different emotions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Real Madrid fans are generally pessimistic, as they feel that this season's Galacticos may be a failure, which is a shame for Real Madrid, which is the centenary.

Especially when he lost the Copa del Rey on his doorstep.

But as a sworn enemy, Atletico Madrid is celebrating the team's early double.

La Liga won the championship ten rounds ahead of schedule, and the Copa del Rey won the trophy, which made everyone in the Sheets team very excited.

The last time Atletico Madrid won the double was six years ago, when Atletico Madrid was at the peak of its history.

Now that they have won another double title, the Sheets Army is undoubtedly making great strides on the road to revival.

This good atmosphere outside has obviously infected the atmosphere inside Mahada Enda Sports City.

Before the 29th round of La Liga, the team opened a training session and the crowd of fans gathered at Mahada Enda Sports City, not only in the sports city, but also on the outside of the training ground.

This made everyone in the team feel the help of the double and quickly turned into motivation for them to perform the training pitch.

Every wonderful performance of the Atletico Madrid players on the training ground can be cheered by countless fans inside and outside the stadium.

After the team won two championships in a row, the mentality was significantly more relaxed, and the players were more active.

This makes an open training session seem to turn into a big party.

By the end of the 90-minute training session, both the players and the fans were still feeling unsatisfied.

Gao Han also liked the atmosphere, but eventually blew the whistle for the end of training.

All the players gathered in front of the head coach and automatically stood in two rows, fanning around the head coach.

The members of the coaching staff stood in a straight line behind Gao Han.

"Everyone has worked hard, and that's the end of today's training. ”

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, there was a burst of warm cheers and applause inside and outside the training ground.

But soon, as Gao Han's hands were raised, the scene suddenly fell silent again.

All the fans can see that the manager has something to say.

'We have won two trophies this past week, which is very, very rare and I am very happy with the performance of every player in the team, because without the hard work of each and every one of you, we would not have been able to have these two trophies. ”

When the players heard this, they all looked up and felt honored.

The fans once again responded with an even more enthusiastic cheer.

The double equalled the best record in the club's history, and for that point, the group at the training ground deserves praise.

"But what I want to say today is that the season is not over yet. ”

Gao Han unconsciously took two steps forward, "We have won all 28 rounds of La Liga this season, but I think we can do better, you still have a lot of potential to explore, so we must not be proud, nor can we slack off, because every step we take will attract the attention of fans all over the world, and we are creating legends in La Liga." ”

Everyone at the scene, including the players in the training ground, and thousands of fans outside the stadium, nodded their heads after hearing Gao Han's words.

For Atletico Madrid, the biggest enemy is no longer their opponents, but themselves.

If they are satisfied with just winning the championship and winning all 28 rounds, they will quickly fall from the top.

"Also, we reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup this season, and we are next up against Feyenoord in the Netherlands, who are also a good team who knocked out Freiburg and Glasgow Rangers in the quarter-finals. ”

Everyone present understood that Gao Han's next focus would shift to the League Cup.

This is also normal, because the league has already won the championship ahead of schedule and the Copa del Rey has already arrived early.

Winning the League Cup and winning the treble, Alpine and Atletico Madrid will usher in a great season.

"The UEFA Cup, a European competition second only to the UEFA Champions League, is also the best platform for countless teams and stars to prove themselves, and the quarterfinals are full of AC Milan, Inter Milan, Valencia, Dortmund, PSV Eindhoven and other European powerhouses......"

When he said this, Gao Han deliberately paused and glanced at the players in front of him.

He could feel the fiery light in the eyes of the group.

They are all young, and they are all eager to prove themselves and challenge strong competitors.

Today's UEFA Cup is full of gold, full of different leagues, different styles, and different tactics.

Parma strong in the Serie A Seven Sisters, right?

As a result, in the round of 16 knockout, he was defeated by Hapoel Tel Aviv of Israel.

And it was a draw away and a heavy defeat at home.

There is also the French league leader Lyon, the strength is good enough, right?

However, they drew at home and suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Liberec in the Czech Republic.

And Leeds United in the Premier League, strong enough, right?

But the result?

The away draw and the 1-0 defeat at home to PSV Eindhoven.

Although there are many visionaries who are shouting that the gap between the top and second divisions of European football is widening and widening, the UEFA Cup is the best platform for this group of secondary league teams to prove their strength.

For example, in the 2000th year, Turkey's Galatasaray defeated Arsenal in the final to win the title.

Therefore, even if Atletico Madrid has won both La Liga and the Copa del Rey, it does not mean that the team can win the UEFA Cup, especially against traditional powerhouses such as AC Milan, Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund.

'I know there are a lot of people out there who are doubting whether we have the quality to continue this form until the end of the season and even the next season, especially in Europe. ”

"Because next season, we will be the champions of La Liga and participate in the Champions League!"

When everyone heard Gao Han's words, their hearts couldn't help but boil.

The Champions League, that is the highest stage that all professional players dream of.

As long as you're a professional, who wouldn't want to be able to prove themselves in the Champions League?

Since the expansion of the UEFA Champions League into the UEFA Champions League, the two-round group stage format has eliminated the birth of dark horse teams to the greatest extent, which has led to a denser schedule and greater pressure on the team, but to a certain extent, it has also made the Champions League a bag of the four major leagues, especially the giant teams.

However, it is also reported that the Champions League will be reformed again from the 0304 season, canceling the second phase of the group stage and becoming the knockout round of 16, however, this has little impact on Atletico Madrid's Champions League next season.

Gao Han said this, looked at the players in front of him again, felt that it was almost the same, and smiled confidently.

"So, guys, don't settle for what we've achieved so far, because we're a team that's going to be big in the Champions League next season!"

Gao Han's words immediately won a round of applause from the players and fans.

The Champions League is not only the dream of the players, but also the desire of the fans.

In Atletico Madrid's 100-year history, they have never played in the Champions League.

Over the past 100 years, this team has carried the dream of hitting the Champions League many times, but it has disappointed again and again.

The closest we got to the Champions League was in 1974.

At that time, Atletico Madrid reached the final and encountered the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, but in the two-legged final, they lost to Bayern Munich 1-1 and 0-4 respectively, and finally lost the championship.

Twenty-eight years on, the Champions League has always been a thorn in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans.

Especially in the past few years, Valencia has risen strongly under Cooper's leadership, reaching the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, while Atletico Madrid suffered a relegation nightmare, which has led many to question the title of the third big team in La Liga.

Because Atletico Madrid have only reached the Champions League final once, but Valencia has twice.

Although in domestic competitions, whether it is La Liga or the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid has more championship honors than Valencia, but the rise of Valencia and the relegation of Atletico Madrid have greatly shaken the team's status in La Liga.

Fortunately, this season, under the leadership of Gao Han, the Sheets Army has risen strongly.

With Atletico Madrid's performance this season, there is no suspense about stabilizing the team's third giants in La Liga.

But then, if Atletico Madrid wants to go further, they have to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

And this is also the most ardent expectation of all the Sheets Army, from the management to the most ordinary fans.

"What you just said was so good and inspiring. ”

As soon as Gao Han walked out of the training pitch after training, Paolo Futre and Jorge Mendes followed.

The technical director was obviously also emotionally aroused by Gao Han's words just now, and seemed a little excited.

This reminded Gao Han that Paul Futre's fame was in the Champions League, and the reason why he joined Atletico Madrid was because the old Hill hoped that he could lead the team to win in the Champions League.

Unfortunately, Paul Futtre was not able to complete his mission, which became a major regret in his career.

Today, the reason why he is with Jorge Mendes is mainly to talk about the renewal of Cristiano Ronaldo's contract.

With the excellent performance of the Portuguese youngster in the derby, he has managed to attract attention from the outside world.

If the club doesn't know how to renew the contract at this time, then it will be poached another day, and it is simply deserved.

Fortunately, Mendes is also a smart man and knows that it is in the best interest for Cristiano Ronaldo to stay at Atletico Madrid.

At the very least, it's covered by the cold.

After returning to the office and sitting down the host and guest, Gao Han began to boil water and make tea.

"Paul, you help me make arrangements, I'm going to go to Israel myself. Gao Han said while washing the tea set.

"League Cup?"

Gao Han nodded, "The first round between the two sides." ”

As a result of the draw for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup, Dortmund's opponent is not strong, Israel's Hapoel Tel Aviv.

But no one can guarantee that the Israeli team will not cause another upset.

According to the schedule, Atletico Madrid will meet the winner between these two teams if they reach the last four.

Now that the schedule has entered the final stage, Gao Han himself is also very busy, but it is still very necessary to personally inspect the opponent.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Paul Futrey immediately agreed.

After receiving the answer, Gao Han turned to look at Jorge Mendez and smiled.

"Jorge, you said you had good news for me, what good news? ”

Good news?

Paul Futtrey was also intrigued. (To be continued.) )
