"We're not good enough!"

The Spanish newspaper Ace published such a headline on the front page of the next day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the article, they described the world-famous derby as an asymmetrical war between adults and children.

"Even if we don't want to admit it, we have to say that Atletico Madrid did play more holistic. ”

"They've got legendary managers from ancient China in the East, they've got great Kaka, they've got the best scorers Villa and Torres, they've got ......"

"Anyone could write a whole bunch of reasons why Atletico Madrid won so easily, but if you want to write about the reasons why Real Madrid lost, there is only one ......"

"We're not good enough!"

'We were poorly organised defensively, there was no cohesiveness at all, it was like there was an English Channel across the front and back. ”

'We looked star-studded up front, but we were very cold at the back, especially our centre-backs. ”

"It's a bit unfair to say that now, and no one can deny that Hierro is one of the best legends in the history of the team, but the reality is cruel, he's old, thirty-five. ”

"The three goals in this game are inseparable from our captain. ”

'He's hard working, he's hardworking, he's the most professional player on the pitch, but he's been exhausted and he can't do anything, whether it's against Kaka, Torres or Villa, he's powerless to stop. ”

"It's time for us to take this seriously!"

In addition to the front-page headlines, the newspaper also published another opinion piece dedicated to blasting Hierro's performance in the game.

They even believe that after this match, Hierro should be completely beaten into the cold.

"He can't meet the needs of Real Madrid anymore!"

Not only that, but they even faintly aimed their artillery at Bosque, believing that it was the indecision of the Real Madrid coach that prevented him from being ruthless and sending Hierro into the cold.

'We've seen that youngster Pavon has been outstanding during Hierro's injury and he should get more appearances, not only for the needs of the team, but also for the club's strategic plan. ”

But Bosque has repeatedly and stubbornly chosen Hierro, and it has to be said that it is regrettable. ”

Very close to the comments of the newspaper As, the newspaper criticised Real Madrid's performance after praising Atletico Madrid at length, with a focus on Hierro.

But in Matayana's column, the Marca newspaper top name argues that it is completely irresponsible to shift all the blame for the team's defeat to Hierro, or even the backline.

"What particularly impressed me was that before the game, Bosque had commented on Atletico Madrid, saying that the attack of the Alpine team can play the best attack, and the defense can also organize an unbreakable defence. ”

"At that time, many people thought that this was a deliberate show of weakness and psychological warfare, but I thought it was sincere. ”

"In terms of attack, Atletico Madrid is more organized and has more methods, but Real Madrid has a lot of stars and a better overall quality, and the two teams are about the same, which should be denied by no one. ”

"But at the defensive level that caused Real Madrid to lose, we can see that Atletico Madrid's defense emphasizes wholeness, from Villa and Torres in the attack, and even Kaka, to the midfield to the back, and even goalkeeper Cech, all of which are part of the team's overall defense. ”

When Atletico Madrid beat Manchester United in England, the British media called this style of play a Europeanized Latin style, with local counter-attacks and on-the-spot counter-attacks being a clear feature, much like Bielsa's Argentina team, which Bielsa also appreciated in an interview. ”

"But Real Madrid is different, the front court is full of more and more superstars, they only think about attacking, they don't care about defending at all, which leads to all teams being able to face Real Madrid very quickly and without any interception through their midfield and directly at the back. ”

"In this situation, even if the best centre-back in the world comes, I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done. ”

"As for Pavon, he is indeed a player with a lot of potential, but we should know that playing on the bench and in rotation, and sitting firmly in the main team, are facing two different levels of pressure, especially against a strong team like Atletico Madrid. ”

"In this case, Bosque is more secure to choose Hierro, and there is no problem at all. ”

"Also, let's look at the team's team strategy, which promised to bring in three players before the season, but the management focused on Ronaldo from start to finish, delaying the introduction of midfield and defence. ”

'Nowadays, everyone knows that Real Madrid's backline needs a high-quality centre-back, but what is the reason why the management is frantically pursuing Beckham for Manchester United?

"Neither Roma's Samuel nor Ajax's Zivo can meet the team's strategy of bringing in superstars a year. ”

Not only that, in addition to praising Atletico Madrid's outstanding performance, Marca and some other newspapers also focused on the head coach Gao Han, believing that Gao Han's arrangement and on-the-spot skills completely subverted the Galaxy Battleship.

Catalonia's World Sports newspaper even praised the cold technology against Bosque, and ridiculed Real Madrid, thinking that the Galaxy Battleship was like a tame little sheep in the face of the cold.

On the contrary, after Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid again at home, the management, including Florentino, came out to apologize to the fans, but promised that the team would definitely strengthen the reinforcements during the winter break.

A number of defensive stars, including Roma's Samuel, Ajax's Zivo, Valencia's Ayala and Juventus' Thuram, have been linked with Real Madrid.

This finally extinguished the anger of the Melinger for a while.

But it's certainly not that simple.

After the Madrid derby, the Copa del Rey quarter-finals were played in midweek.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid both reached the quarter-finals, facing rivals Huelva and Real Mallorca respectively.

Comparatively speaking, the opponents of the Galactic Battleship are a little more difficult.

As a result, Atletico Madrid used a rotating lineup to beat Huelva 1-0 away, while Real Madrid also rotated but drew 1-1 at home to Real Mallorca.

At the weekend, Real Madrid lost 1-0 away to Athletic Bilbao, and the gap between them and Atletico Madrid widened to 23 points, and they were third in La Liga behind Real Sociedad.

What's worse is that in midweek, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid challenged Real Mallorca away, only to lose 0-4 to Aragonés' team.

Eto'o, who has long been trusted by Spain, scored a brace in five minutes to help Real Mallorca slaughter Real Madrid at home to knock out the Galaxy 5-1 on aggregate.

It also shocked the whole of Spain.

Eto'o was originally a Real Madrid player, but was loaned to Real Mallorca, and after his performance was recognized by Real Mallorca, he sold half of his ownership.

In other words, Real Madrid still owns half of Eto'o'o.

This feeling of being slaughtered by their own players must have made Real Madrid feel close to each other.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, defeated Huelva 2-0 at home, and then successfully advanced with an aggregate score of 3-0.

The other two teams in the semi-finals are Deportivo La Coruna and Osasuna.

After the draw, Atletico Madrid drew Osasuna.

The successive poor performances in La Liga and the Copa del Rey have brought the anger of Real Madrid fans to a peak, and some fans have even begun to turn the finger at the management and blast them for their incompetence.

At such a critical moment, Real Madrid solemnly announced the introduction of strong central defender Woodgate from Leeds United for a high price of 15 million euros on the last day of the winter break transfer to Real Madrid, the day after the heavy defeat to Real Mallorca.

Real Madrid has finally brought in a central defender!

This news quickly spread around the world in a short period of time, and countless Meilinge people cheered wildly in celebration.

Woodgate's name also spread all over the world overnight.

His performance in the Premier League, his place at Leeds United......

Everything was dug out by the fans and the media.

In the end, it came to the conclusion that he was not inferior to Ferdinand!

With 15 million euros, this blockbuster deal also became the highest transfer record in Europe during the winter break.

But soon, the media revealed again that in addition to the transfer fee of 15 million euros, Real Madrid also promised to loan youngster Raul Bravo to Leeds United for half a season on a free loan, but the latter did not have the right to buy out.

No one cares about Raul Bravo, everyone cares about Woodgate's arrival.

This is the first central defender introduced by Florentino in the three years since he took charge of the Bernabeu, and some excited fans even said that this will be a memorable historical moment for Real Madrid.

Ace newspaper spoke highly of this transfer, believing that Real Madrid will not only continue to promote the superstar strategy, but also further pragmatic team formation ideas, and at the same time increase efforts to promote young players.

As if in response to the cries of the fans, Real Madrid ushered in the twentieth round of La Liga after entering February.

Woodgate started the game after just two days in the club, partnering Elgra in an away game against Espanyol and putting in an excellent performance to keep the back of the net.

Real Madrid, who stabilized the defense, beat Espanyol 4-0 away, not only bringing back three points, but also winning the affirmation of the fans.

A week later, back at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Galacticos continued to perform at a high level, beating Real Betis 4-1 at home.

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid's defense was a little chaotic, and Real Betis was the first to sneak into the goal.

But soon, the Galactic battleship stabilized its defense, and returned the color.

Goals from Raul, Figo, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo helped the Galaxy to a 4-1 home win over Real Betis.

But what is even more satisfying is that the partnership of Woodgate and Hierro, except for a little rusty in the opening stages, basically did not make mistakes for the rest of the game.

And the combination of Makelele and Elgra at the back made Real Madrid's midfield straighten again.

Two big wins in a row have made Real Madrid full of confidence.

The newspaper even shouted on the front page after Real Madrid's victory over Real Betis......

Tremble, Atletico Madrid!

The strongest Real Madrid is back!(To be continued.) )
