When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Deportivo fans were quite unconvinced - because they did not lose the aggregate score, but lost to the rules - after Atletico Madrid pulled back a point, Deportivo La Coruna launched a series of fierce attacks, but there was no luck before, Pauletta had a good chance in the penalty area, but it was deflected by the interference of Gamarra, who was in the middle of the fill-in, and the final score was 2-1, Deportivo La Coruna won and lost the title......

Atletico Madrid's players celebrated their first title of the new season at the Stadio riaço, and while shaking hands with Irueta, Dick shrugged: "It looks like I've had a lot of luck......

Irueta smiled wryly and shook his head, of course he knew that neither side was in the best form in these two games, and Deportivo La Coruna still had to perform a little better, but it was Atletico Madrid who won the championship in the end - what can be said about that? Dick's luck did seem better than his, and the soccer ball was round......

In a game that was outdogs, Dick's Atletico relied on a lucky goal from Jardel to lose 2-1 to Deportivo La Coruna to win the Spanish Super Cup. [No pop-ups. I have only one word for this game: ugly. Throughout the game, we could only see Atletico defending non-stop, and then relying on an inexplicable attack to score and ultimately win. In retrospect, many of Atletico's victories last season after Dick's tenure came this way. We have to admit that Dick is a manager who is unlucky, but can luck take a team to the top? Then I don't think we need to look around for a good coach, it would be better to just develop a luck tester......"

It is a pity that Mr. Rodriguez's second column was once again ignored by Dick, because Dick didn't buy "World Sports" at all, he read a lot of newspapers every day, but basically Marca, as a professional sports newspaper that can be among the top ten media in Spain, Marca newspaper contains more information, and it also helps Dick to better understand the current Spanish football scene.

After winning the Spanish Super Cup, Dick was still relatively happy, at least it was a surprise, because he didn't expect to win the Spanish Super Cup, but because of some accidental factors, he won the championship - whether it was luck or not, who wouldn't win the championship by luck? Dick doesn't care about this, all he cares about is that his resume looks better, and this is his future capital!

After the end of the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid's new season is getting closer and closer, and on August 29, the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup began in Monaco, and Atletico Madrid is a team that directly participates in the first round of the League Cup.

There are quite a lot of strong teams participating in the UEFA Cup this time - Serie A has Inter Milan, Roma, Parma, Fiorentina and Udinese who were eliminated from the Champions Cup, the Premier League has Chelsea and Liverpool, La Liga in addition to Atletico Madrid, there are Zaragoza, Celta, Rayo Vallecano and Alaves, and the Bundesliga has Hertha Berlin, Stuttgart and Werder Bremen, these teams are not easy to play, plus such as Portugal's Porto and Boavista, the Netherlands' Ajax, Scotland's Celtic, Although there are a total of 96 teams participating in the first round of CSKA Moscow and other strong teams in Russia, the chances of these strong teams meeting are not small.

However, Atletico were lucky to be against Slovenian side Ljubljana, who were not a strong side, with Atletico playing away from home and then returning to their home stadium – the first leg of the match was played on 14 September.

After the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid will usher in a period of recuperation, of course, after September 2, the international players in the team will go to the national team training camp - this time Atletico Madrid has a lot of internationals, Molina, Bellerón and Baraja were selected for the Spanish national team, Cruise was selected for the Argentine national team, Makelele was also selected for the French national team with Thuram this time, plus Paraguay national team member Gamarra, Yugoslavia national team member Paulovic, A total of 10 players from the Czech national team, Bejbur, and Correa, a member of the Uruguayan national team, left the camp, but fortunately, most of the players in the front field were retained, and basic training was still guaranteed.

Dick naturally doesn't have much to do about this situation, but the opponent in the first round of the league is the middle and lower tier team Real Oviedo, which is also Atletico Madrid's relegation opponent last season, and they can beat each other in such a chaotic situation last season, and this game will naturally not have too many problems.

After the players returned from the national team, Dick took a few more days to train – but in the first game of the new season, he made a big change in tactics.

"Juan, you rest for this game."

Dick told Belleron the day before the game: "This game, I want to see how well the team plays other formations. ”

Looking at Belleron's somewhat surprised face, Dick laughed: "Don't worry, you must know that in my mind, you are the most unshakable core of the team...... It's just that there's no need to worry now, your physical condition is not too good, and I need you to rest well...... The next two games were not strong opponents, so we didn't need to use too complicated tactics. ”

Belleron nodded, his physical fitness is indeed average, although he did not play much in the European Cup, but he was overdrawn a lot in terms of physical fitness, and now he has been pulled to the national team, Dick let him rest well, which is also a kind of protection for him.

Of course, casually saying that the core is rested for two games, there is no reason why it can't work, and Dick also needs to give Belleron an explanation in advance - this can be regarded as a certain degree of preservation of strength and practice of the second set of tactics, after all, Atletico Madrid can't rely on only one set of tactics to win the world.

When Dick announced his starting line-up for the next day in the dressing room, Atletico's players were a little surprised.

The rest of the positions were basically unchanged, except that the midfielder removed Belleron and let Cruise start with Jardel, that is, a combination of two central strikers, parallel to the midfield.

"The wings are the main ones, and when you take the opportunity, you can send the ball to the middle, and the two full-backs should be a little more aggressive, bold assists, and you have teammates behind you in defence. Real Orvieto is far from being our opponent and all we have to do is score more goals in the game! Do you understand? Destroy their defenses with offense and win this game! ”

Dick didn't give them time to think, but waved his hand vigorously, in his opinion, as long as the breakthrough of the two wings and the ability to grab points in the middle, it is enough to beat Real Oviedo, if in the face of a team like Real Oviedo, can not beat the opponent with the advantage of strength through simple and rough tactics, then this Atletico Madrid, there is no future at all......

Two may not be the top, but definitely first-class center forwards, both sides have their own characteristics in attack, such a configuration, with this simple and rough tactics is the easiest to score, Dick just wants to see what kind of individual ability they can reach, the overall organization and attack are of course needed, but the individual ability to show on the court is also very important. Atletico Madrid now does not have the kind of traditional players who can dribble the ball to solve the attack, and they should be more particular about the cooperation between each other, with the two wings as the mainstay, and the tactics of providing firepower to the middle are simple, but they are very particular about coordination.

The first round of the league was played at home, so Atletico Madrid fans quickly discovered that there was no Belleron in the starting lineup......

"What was Dick thinking? Whether it was a warm-up match or two Spanish Super Cups, Belleron was the main force, why did he change players on the spot? Could it be that Belleron is injured? ”

"Belleron sat on the bench with a calm expression...... Maybe he was injured, or maybe Dick hid him in preparation for the UEFA Cup? This is also outrageous, can the Slovenian team have any impact on Atletico? It's a joke......"

The commentators commented on Dick's starting lineup, but Dick ignored it, and after greeting the fans in the stands, he began to concentrate on watching the game from his position.

Despite the absence of Belleron, Atletico Madrid did not play badly on the field - although there was no Belleron in the middle, but Atletico played a little simpler, Baraja and Makelele in the middle took the ball and handed it to the wing, and then let the players on the side cooperate to form a breakthrough on the wing, and the two big men of Cruz and Jadel were constantly running back and forth, looking for opportunities.

Capdevilla has good crosses, while Aguilera is also quite good in breaking through, plus Vicente and Camoranesi on the wings, Atletico quickly have the upper hand on the wings.

It's not that Real Oviedo doesn't want to strengthen the defense on the wings, but for them, to strengthen the defense on the wings, the defense of the two center forwards in the middle is weakened, and as long as there are one or two good passes on the wings, it is difficult for them to defend - this kind of risk, they can't afford to take it.

Dick didn't use any magic tactics, he was just pressing people with force, in fact, it was very simple to deal with this kind of attack, because Atletico Madrid's scoring means and then the middle of the shot, even the back attack is not much, because Baraja's position is a little deeper, but it is not so easy to keep an eye on Jadel and Cruise.

Both of these are close to 1.9 meters of big men, and the skills at their feet are relatively not bad, not only in the air crosses, ground passes, they are often able to grab the ball to form an attack, and soon, the goalkeeper of Real Orvieto became the most painful person on the field.

Just saved Jardel's header, and then received Cruise's powerful shot in the box, Camoranesi and Vicente also cut inside from time to time to shoot, if it weren't for the defenders desperately defending, directly facing Atletico's attack, no matter how good he was, he couldn't prevent Atletico from shooting.

However, this persistence did not last long, if Atletico's attack was only a fierce attack, it would not necessarily be able to break through the opponent's door, but although Atletico's two strikers are big men, they are quite cunning in terms of shooting.

In the 21st minute, Vicente crossed at high speed, passed a very fast high-altitude ball, Jadel jumped high in the middle to attract the attention of the opponent's defenders, but did not reach the ball, the ball fell directly to the feet of Cruise at the back point, Cruise received the ball and then made a sharp stop, and then quickly dodged the opposing defender who was in the position, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper calmly pushed the far corner with the inside of his left foot!

When the ball flew into the opponent's door, the stands resounded with a huge cheer from the Atletico fans!
