59th minute Out of the relegation zone

The mood in the visitors' dressing room was a bit low, and after four wins in a row, they were beaten in the first half against an unassuming Real Orvieto side – a cold water for Atletico Madrid, who had reached a peak of confidence, and a harsh reminder of the brutal fact that even after three wins in a row, they are still in the relegation zone! Be careful to walk on thin ice in any game, this is the retribution of their poor performance in the previous 32 league games!

Three consecutive league wins have only slightly made up for the previous losses, and want to sit back and relax? It's still early!

"I made a mistake, and you made a mistake." Dick's voice rang out in the dressing room, and it was so low: "We thought that after beating Valencia and Barcelona, we could easily beat a relegation team like Real Orviedo...... However, we were wrong, although Real Oviedo is a relegation team, but why didn't we have before? If we were able to fight back in an unfavourable situation and create a miracle in the eyes of others, why couldn't the other relegation teams be able to perform better than usual under the pressure of survival? Never underestimate the tremendous fighting power of a professional team that erupts in a desperate situation! What's more, we don't have an overwhelming advantage against these teams......"

Dick said bitterly, he said this to all the players of Atletico Madrid, and it is also a review of himself - the first half of the fall behind came in time, you must know that he led Atletico Madrid at the beginning can be described as quite smooth, after doing a lot of work immediately put the team on the right track, this good performance made Dick also began to swell up a little, and felt that it was not so difficult to lead the team to play professional games, if this mentality continued, it would inevitably make him more and more careless......

But what kind of world is professional football? It is a world where Mourinho leads the team to two games without a win, and will be criticized by the media! It is no secret that the utilitarian and forgetful characteristics of this world have long been noted, and the so-called "three autumns will quickly forget you as soon as the martial arts passes", this characteristic is more obvious in the world of football!

Just look at Kiko, the prince of Atletico Madrid, the biggest contributor to Atletico Madrid's double, and the player who has played for Atletico Madrid for the longest time among the active Atletico players...... When he won him, there were countless Atletico fans who were crying out for him, and countless Atletico fans shouted "We want Kiko not to Chinese...... What now? It's only been four games and three weeks! At a time when Atletico Madrid fans are basking in the joy of victory and confidence in the success of relegation, in addition to the most hardcore Kiko Guard, how many Atletico Madrid fans can remember that there are such meritorious heroes sitting on the bench?

If one is not careful, he may export all the fame and qualifications he has worked hard to save before! How could such a serious consequence not surprise Dick's heart?

In this respect, the backwardness in the first half is a good thing, at least one fact and the current situation are cruelly displayed in front of him - this is a battlefield where there is no gunsmoke, but like on the battlefield, only the victor can continue to be brilliant!

So what he said to the players is also a review of Dick's own self, in this situation, he can't afford to lose, even if he can afford to lose, he can't lose like this!

"Calm down, guys, don't be impatient. In the first half, we didn't have no chances, but because of impatience, we haven't been able to attack, patiently organize the attack, patiently watch their defense, you have to be patient. The opponent is not an opponent who can be knocked out with a punch or two, we need to wear their strength, watch out for their counterattacks, and then seize the opportunity to knock them to the ground with one punch! ”

Dick made a left hook: "Patience, as I told you before, you have to be patient in the attack, because we will definitely score, the organization is handed over to Juan, if they recycle the defense, the task of breaking through their defense, Paulista." ”

Belleron and Juninho nodded at the same time, now Atletico Madrid's tactics are very clear, the back organization is organized by Belleron, the front break is completed by Juninho, Hasselbaink is responsible for the final blow, the two wings are mainly supported by Solari and Aguilera to attack, and Baraja in front is likely to be used as a surprise soldier...... It's also an alternative star tactic that allows these players to bring out their best in their own right, and that's where Atletico have an advantage over other mid-table teams.

After saying these few words, Dick pressed his hands downward, signaling the players to rest, and he thought on the side.

It wasn't until a member of staff came in to remind them that the second half was about to start that Dick waved his hand and told the players to go.

When he was the only one left in the locker room, Dick clenched his fists, then swung twice in the void and let out a long breath.

"Man, now you know the world of professional football, right? It's not that simple, it's not a football manager game, and you can't read the file and start over if you lose...... Failure is irretrievable and can only be remedied. Dick, don't forget this lesson today from a normal team called Real Orviedo. You can enjoy the wine, the food, and the beautiful women, but don't forget, it's all earned by your hard work! There is no such thing as a free lunch! ”

After saying a long word to himself, Dick strode out of the dressing room.

The fans of Real Orvieto cheered and for them, Oviedo's performance in the first half made them happy, and if it can continue, beating Atletico Madrid will basically confirm the early relegation - this kind of rivalry before the end of the season means not just three points, but six points!

They were able to perform so well in the first half and they expect to see that in the second half as well.

Real Orviedo's players did not disappoint them, after the start of the second half they still performed as well as in the first half, but their opponents were different, because Atletico Madrid was more patient than in the first half, more patient, they controlled the situation on the field, gradually put pressure on Real Orviedo, and when the midfield began to be a little uncontrollable, Orvieto began to retreat the defensive line, and at this time, it was Juninho's turn to start to exert power!

As a traditional Brazilian player, Juninho has excellent footwork and ball sense, and when he starts to dribble the ball, the ball seems to be stuck to his feet - in fact, after Dick took office, Juninho has been asking Juninho to abandon that flashy tactic and use a more concise pass to complete the attack, this time it can be regarded as a complete release of Juninho's hands and feet!

For a player who lives with the ball, this restraint makes him a little uncomfortable, but after letting go of his hands and feet, he bursts out with quite good ability!

And the other players who responded by his side also gave Juninho more certainty when breaking through.

At the beginning, Oviedo's players were still distracted by the defense involving other Atletico Madrid players who were running, but they were successfully broken by Juninho in a row, if it weren't for his two shots being denied by the goalkeeper and the post, Oviedo would have been broken, seeing that Juninho was becoming more and more active, they began to focus on Juninho, and Juninho began to continue to share the ball to create opportunities for his teammates......

In the face of such an attack, Oviedo is a little unbearable, after all, their overall strength is still a little weak, plus Atletico Madrid plays extremely patiently, firmly controls the situation on the field, and constantly looks for opportunities to score!

After twenty minutes of support, Oviedo's defense finally had a fatal hole!

In the 65th minute, Solari received the ball and broke through from the left, and then handed it to Juninho in the middle, Juninho received the ball and turned, a short body was about to break into the penalty area, and when Oviedo's players began to prepare to mark the slippery little loach-like player, he made a sharp stop, and then raised his foot to pass the ball to the left side of the penalty area!

After passing the ball, Solari raised his foot to unload the pass, and when Oviedo's defender pounced on him, he had already passed the ball into the penalty area, and Hasselba Inkfur, who ran a little past, raised his right foot like a heart, and swung his heel on the side of the rolling ball, and the ball immediately changed direction and flew into Oviedo's door!

"Well done!" Dick waved his fist off the pitch, Atletico now have an absolute advantage, and now that they have equalised, the rest will be easy!

In terms of the general trend, Dick still saw it very accurately, this goal can be said to have dispelled the last bit of support of the Oviedo players, in the next game, they want to fight back, but they can't do it, and the defense is not as solid......

Five minutes later, Solari broke through on the left side to get a corner, but he did not pass the ball directly into the penalty area, but handed the ball to Capdevilla inserted in the back row, Capdevilla took the ball and quickly buckled the ball in the corner of the big penalty area, seeing that no one came up to defend himself for the first time, and decisively shot from a distance!

The ball arcs in the air, bypasses the opposing goalkeeper's hand, and flies into the net against the far post!

Within five minutes, Atletico Madrid completed the comeback!

"Then attack, until you score the third goal!"

Dick continued to yell from the sidelines, they might have the strength to fight back after only one goal, but if it was extended to two goals, would they still be able to pull it back?

In this case, Atletico can fight for three points, of course, they have to fight for three!

Atletico Madrid's players did not disappoint Dick, and with the advantages accumulated in the previous games, they were in a good situation at this time.

Hasselbaink scored his second goal of the game in the 77th minute after receiving a cross from Capdevilla, his 23rd league goal of the season – five goals in Dick's four league games, a well-deserved number one.

After seeing the two-goal lead, Dick began to make substitutions - he replaced Hasselbaink and Juninho with Kiko and Lardin, and then replaced Gamarra with Sandy, which was kind of a face-saving look for these players who were basically out of his plans for next season.

The final score was 3-1, and Atletico Madrid won their fourth league game away from home, finally surpassing Real Oviedo by one point and moving up to 17th place!

The reason why it is 17th is because Numancia also beat Espanyol and leads Atletico Madrid by a win-loss factor.
