A 1-0 score wasn't a big score, but at this point, winning in the least effort way was something everyone wanted to see, and Dick shook Cooper's hand with a victor's smile, then turned and waved his fist at the visitors' stands. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Dick was very proud - Vicente played a huge role in the double win against Valencia, and if it wasn't for his own intervention, the top winger would have been bought by Valencia, and there would be no such thing......

And what will make Atletico fans happy is yet to come - in another round of the league at the same time, Real Madrid ended their 12-game unbeaten streak, losing 0-1 to Athletic Bilbao on the road, which allowed Atletico to overtake their local rivals and move to the top of the table by two points!

This situation makes Atletico Madrid fans rejoice, although they have also climbed to the top of the standings before, but that is not long after the start of the season, can not be used as a big reference, and now the league has passed the halfway point, it is close to the closing stage, at this time to be able to climb to the top of the standings, can better explain the problem!

One reality that no one can avoid is that Atletico Madrid has indeed begun to rise!

They have flaws, but that makes them even more scary, flawed teams mean more room to develop, and now they are capable of challenging for the league title, and when they make up for their flaws, what will they reach?

When other giants in La Liga began to be really wary of Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid fans were extremely excited, they waited for so long, and finally waited for this day, waiting for Atletico Madrid to rise again!

"Not only in the league, but also in the League Cup!"

Countless Atletico Madrid fans have expressed this willingness when chatting with each other, even if they face a strong team like Inter Milan next, they are full of great confidence - Inter Milan? Where are they in Serie A now? Tenth? Cut......

Inter Milan is indeed more difficult now, Lippi was fired by the angry Moratti after being out of the Champions League qualifiers, and now it is Tardelli who coaches them, but the new coach has not brought good luck to Inter Milan, and now they have played eighteen rounds in Serie A, but they are only ranked tenth with six wins, seven draws and five losses, which is worse than the worst 98-99 season before, and the worst result since Moratti became the owner, Even worse can be traced back to the 93-94 season when Manuel Pellegrini was president, when they finished 13th and were relegated in the final round......

So despite the fact that Inter Milan were the kings of the UEFA Cup in the 90s, winning the UEFA Cup three times in total, Atletico Madrid fans did not think they could stop Atletico from moving forward in excellent form!

Atletico is the sun at noon, but what about Inter Milan? It's getting weak!

Inter Milan in Spain also seems to be very low-key, their recent results are indeed quite bad, and in the face of the menacing Atletico Madrid, it is natural to keep a low profile - but Dick will not underestimate them, because it is this Inter Milan team that seems to have fallen to the bottom that has done quite well in the next few seasons, and this is not just because Cooper is in charge.

Sometimes the background of the giants is like this, they sometimes seem to be very hard, but when they are awesome, they are still much bigger than when they are hard, although Inter Milan has been a star black hole or something in the past ten years, but their results are actually not bad, but there is no championship, and their results are still able to make most of the midstream teams look up to it.

What's more, Inter Milan has never lacked superstars, although Ronaldo is still recuperating from injury, but they still have Vieri, Recoba, Seedorf and other superstars, just like last season's Atletico Madrid, although the results are bad, but there are many good players, there is an opportunity to be easy to get up, the bad is just an opportunity.

Atletico have already waited for Dick, Inter Milan are still waiting for Cooper.

Although Cooper did not let Inter Milan win the championship, he let Inter Milan come out of the turmoil and began to gradually become stable, coupled with the training and sublimation of Mancini and Mourinho, it took ten years to create the Triple Crown Inter Milan that reached its peak!

Dick doesn't care much about Tardelli, although the coach is also very good, but now Inter Milan is simply the natural enemy of the head coach, few managers can do a good job in their team, and few managers can create an effective tactical system in Inter Milan, they rely more on the self-play of the stars and some small-scale cooperation, to deal with such a team, what is needed is the whole.

"Tackle them with offense...... Inter Milan are not very good defensively at the moment. Although Blanco is excellent and not young, Córdoba is brave but slightly frizzy, and the other central defenders have nothing to say...... The left-back is still their dead end, neither Gresco nor Simic are good players, so we have to take advantage of our attacking ability to take them down, and we have to take advantage of the home advantage. ”

Dick quickly set a strategy, the overall level of Inter Milan is average, which also gives Dick a chance, after all, for Atletico Madrid, their overall current situation has gradually taken shape, whether it is offensive or defensive better than Inter Milan, the only thing that gives Dick a headache is Vieri and Recoba, the two top strikers, Recoba's performance this season is still very good, few injuries, Vieri has been supporting Inter Milan's pillar, Ronaldo continues to be injured, Hakan? Suker's performance has been average since joining Inter Milan, Zamorano is dying, Pacheco is limited, and it is worth paying attention to these two strikers.

He knows that the tactical level of the Italian coach is very high, but for Dick, he doesn't care what specific tactics the other party will use to deal with him, and he doesn't bother to think that it is the easiest thing to crush the past with absolute strength, on paper, Atletico Madrid does not have overwhelming strength, but in Dick's view, in terms of overall strength on the field, Atletico Madrid has such an advantage!

February 15, 8 p.m.

Atletico Madrid fans have long been crowded with Calderón Stadium, they originally valued the league the most, but with the excellent results of the league, their expectations for European competitions are also rising, you must know that Atletico Madrid has nothing too good in the European arena, a Cup Winners' Cup winner and a Champions Cup runner-up is their best result, the League Cup their previous best result is the semi-finals, not even the runner-up, naturally hope that Dick can lead the team to make history!

"It's rare for the fans to value the UEFA Cup results so much so we have to play a little bit better...... Although Inter Milan is a traditional giant, they have been quite depressed this season, and we are at the best of form! Beat them, the only three teams that can threaten us in the UEFA Cup are Inter Milan, Liverpool and Barcelona, and since we have a chance to meet one of them, let's move this stone away and better increase our hopes of winning the title! ”

Dick said in the dressing room.

In this game, he still sent a 451 lineup, goalkeeper Molina, central defenders Thuram and Marchena, the two full-backs are Capdevilla and Hector, midfielders Makelele, Baraja and Belleron in the middle, Vicente and Camoranesi on the wings, and Jadel in the front, which is the tactic that Atletico Madrid is most accustomed to using this season.

Tardelli is also interested in this game, he knows that it is unlikely that they will be able to achieve any good results in the league this season, and halfway through the season, the gap between them and the top of the table Roma has been widened to 17 points, such a gap is almost out of reach, so a reasonable result in the UEFA Cup will satisfy the Inter management.

Goalkeeper Frei, defenders Zanetti, Blanco, Córdoba, Simic, midfielders Di Biagio, Farinos, Dalma, Seedorf, forwards Vieri, Recoba - Tardelli also came up with the strongest lineup he could, that is, he hoped to achieve a better result away from home, and then return to the home court to try to eliminate the opponent and enter the quarterfinals of the League Cup - when the time comes, it will be much closer to the League Cup championship.

Of course, that's what Dick had in mind.

When the commentator shouted out Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, Atletico Madrid's fans cheered with his shout,—— because they knew that this was already Atletico's strongest lineup, and after just playing a difficult game away, Dick also sent all the main players in the League Cup, which means that the manager does not want to give up the League Cup at all - although he gave up the Copa del Rey before, the importance of the Copa del Rey is not comparable to the League Cup, There are not many accolades in Atletico Madrid's European arena, even a League Cup can make everyone extremely excited!

When the two sides shook hands, the Atletico players had a confident glint in their eyes, while the Inter Milan stars were a little flat - this season was already destined to be a bad season, they were depressed, but as a professional, they have to perform equally well in the next games.

Atletico Madrid, who were the first to kick off, launched a ferocious attack first.

Their attacking method is relatively simple, Belleron organizes in the back place, and then the two wings and the middle take turns to attack, shoot when they have the opportunity, and control it to turn into a positional battle if they don't have the opportunity, Inter Milan is mainly on the defensive side, they are Serie A teams after all, this is almost their instinct, and in away games, the morale is not so high, and it is also a natural thing to focus on stability.

Hoarding the backfield, and finding Vieri and Recoba in the front court with long passes when they have the opportunity, although this approach is simple, it also has a good effect, at least it can make Atletico Madrid's defenders dare not press on the attack!

In the face of Atletico Madrid's onslaught, Inter Milan's defense line with the French veteran Blanco as the core contracted in the penalty area, constantly bearing Atletico Madrid's crazy attack, but still did not show any flaws!

"It's no wonder that Cooper guy was able to make the defense strong as soon as he went to Inter Milan, worthy of the Serie A giants, and the defense can do a good job in such a bad situation......"

Dick thought to himself.
