Chapter 393: Grievances with Atletico Madrid (3rd Monthly Pass)
In the 20th round of the league, Ibiza will travel to the Calderón Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid away.
Before this game, Atletico Madrid could be said to have held their breath to beat Ibiza in this game and hand the league leaders their first defeat of the season.
Atletico Madrid are eager to break Ibiza's unbeaten streak for only one reason: they hate Ibiza.
In the first round of La Liga this season, Atletico Madrid was beaten 3-8 by Ibiza away, and in the words of the media, this game directly stunned Atletico Madrid.
Last season, Atletico Madrid reached the European Champions Cup for the first time in 12 years, which made the whole club very excited, and they saw it as a sign of Atletico Madrid's rise.
Cerezo, president of Atletico Madrid, even said excitedly that the team should have an outstanding performance in the European Champions Cup this season, and at the same time have a new breakthrough in La Liga: what is a new breakthrough, Atletico Madrid was the fourth place in La Liga last season, and if you want to break through again, you will naturally be in the top three, even if you can't win the championship, you must be a qualified spoiler, show your muscles to other giants in La Liga, and tell the whole of Spain that Atletico Madrid is back!
However, the first round of the new season was bloodied by Ibiza 8-3, which directly confused the ambitious Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid did not slowly climb up until the fifteenth round of the league, finishing in the top six of the league for the first time.
The most immediate problem caused by the poor results is the crisis of the team's head coach Aguirre.
Aguirre became the manager of Atletico Madrid at the beginning of the 2006/2007 season, and last season he led the Sheets Army to return to the Champions League after a gap of 12 years, and it can also be said that he was in high spirits, and was once considered the godfather who could lead Atletico Madrid's revival, but after being beaten eight times in a row by Fang Jue, Aguirre wilted, so to speak, Aguirre temporarily kept his job by drawing with Liverpool in the Champions League to reach the round of 16.
However, since entering 2009, Atletico Madrid have lost consecutive games and have not won since the New Year. Atletico Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Almeria at the weekend and dropped to seventh in the table, seven points clear of fourth-placed rivals Real Madrid, with qualification for next season's Champions League in jeopardy.
Although Atletico Madrid President Cerezzo has repeatedly said that he "still trusts Aguirre", he can't rely on the media hype every day, and the media almost every day says that Aguirre is going to leave class, saying that Atletico Madrid's top management can't bear Aguirre anymore.
Everything that was okay has been hyped into something, not to mention that Aguirre's position is indeed unstable, which makes the Atletico Madrid locker room also restless, a coach who may get out of class at any time, can be said to have lost his prestige in the locker room, in this case, it is strange that there is no chaos within the team.
Atletico Madrid regarded Ibiza and Fang Jue as the culprits of all this, so this time, sitting at the home stadium Calderón Stadium, the club's president Cerezo and head coach Aguirre issued an order to the whole team: at all costs, Ibiza must be killed and defeat Ibiza's undefeated golden body.
……
For this game, Fang Jue was also very well prepared.
In the midweek match against Real Betis, he rotated to preserve his strength and prepare for this tough match against Atletico Madrid.
Both sides are fully prepared for this game, Fang Jue rotated in the Copa del Rey and kept the main force to play this game, Atletico Madrid is the main force, the goalkeeper is Franco, the central defender is a combination of Heitinga and Ujfarussi, the right back is Perea, the left back is Peña, and the midfielder Raul. Garcia, Assunsan, Luis. Garcia, Portugal international Simao, and Argentine talent Sergio Aguero and Uruguayan star Diego Foran are up front.
The competition was very intense, and the two sides could be said to be fighting for every inch of land, and the scene of people turning over on their backs appeared from time to time.
In the first half, Ibiza was injured by Assunção and had to be replaced, with Farreco coming on as a substitute.
Ibiza's side was also soon returned to color, Luis. Garcia was injured by Bolaruz and was replaced by Pongele.
Revenge-hungry Atletico Madrid were in good form, scoring first in the first half. Garcia's diagonal cross into the box was headed wide by Forlan and Sergio Aguero got the ball in front of Alba.
The first half was 1-0, with the home team Atletico Madrid leading.
Throughout the half-time break, the hustle and bustle of the Calderón Stadium shook the sky, and the fans of Atletico Madrid were very satisfied with the first half of the game.
However, less than five minutes into the second half, Ibiza equalised.
It was Ibiza who got a free-kick opportunity in front, Deisler and Juan Mata stood in front of the football, Deisler added a direct shot after the run, but he ran past the side of the football, Mata followed up and hoisted the ball into the box, Lewandowski jumped high in the box and forced Ujfarusi to head the equalizer for Ibiza.
However, with 71 minutes played, Atletico Madrid once again exceeded the score.
Sergio Aguero's sudden long-range shot from the middle of the dribble sent the Argentine a stunning shot that Ibiza goalkeeper Bravo could do nothing.
Two to one, the home team Atletico Madrid exceeded the score.
……
The Calderón Stadium resounded with deafening cheers.
Atletico Madrid fans seem to be about to take out all their grievances at the 8-3 bloodbath by Ibiza in the first round of the league and the resulting long period of poor results.
It was like an earthquake shook the entire Calderón stadium.
The live broadcast camera gave Fang Jue a close-up, and the expression of the Ibiza coach was gloomy, obviously the unfavorable situation on the field made him feel very bad.
Fang Jue really wanted to scold, he felt that Atletico Madrid was not interesting enough, Ibiza did win you by a big score, but we also killed Real Madrid, and this season counts the Spanish Super Cup, and has done Real Madrid three times, with the degree of hatred of Atletico Madrid towards Real Madrid, shouldn't you be very friendly to Ibiza, and your door is always open? It's not like the famous water release competition, but don't think of Ibiza as a wife-snatcher.
'It doesn't look like Ibiza is going to be good today, maybe their unbeaten run is going to end today.' On the commentary table, David. Zamora said.
"Atletico Madrid played very well today, Fang Jue and Ibiza were in big trouble." Dolores said.
Fang Jue couldn't hear what the commentator said, even if he did, he wouldn't pay too much attention to it, what he cared about was definitely not the fact that the undefeated golden body was broken, what he was thinking about was how to turn the tables and win the game!
Although the score is behind now, Fang Jue's goal is not to equalize, it is to win, yes, Fang Jue doesn't care about the undefeated golden body, he just wants to win the game!
He doesn't value any false name.
It's a sign of a manager's love for football, his passion for his work, and it's a pure, admirable coach.
……
Fang Jue is considering a countermeasure.
At this time, on the field, Atletico Madrid's fullback Perea faced Mata's breakthrough with the ball, suffered a loss in speed, and saw that he couldn't catch up with Mata, so he reached out and pulled down the opponent.
Fang Jue's eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
"Let Thadio warm up." Fang Jue said to his assistant Ceballos.
The latter was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Jue in surprise, and after getting confirmation, he hurriedly went to inform Mane to warm up.
"We still have time, we can't give up." As Mane warmed up, Ceballos advised.
"Who said I was going to give up the game?" Fang Jue asked rhetorically.
