When the film crew from the sports channel left, Dick began to return to his old life - leading the team, playing games, resting, going to the night show......

After a week-long break in the fifth round of the league, Atletico welcomed Athletic Bilbao at home, but Atletico were unable to extend their winning streak as they were held to a 0-0 draw at the Estadio de Calderón by a tenacious Basque side, with a three-game winning streak. [Full text reading. 】

There is also a reason why Atletico are distracted by the UEFA Cup - in this game, Dick hid the two absolute main players of Belleron and Jadel, so that they can rest well and prepare for the next UEFA Cup game.

Dick started Cruise and then brought on Fernando Torres as a substitute, but neither of them could score a goal.

After this draw at home, Atletico Madrid are still in the first place, but their advantage has become smaller - Barcelona is only one point away from them, Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna are two points behind them, and now the top few positions are very tight, and a careless position may lead to a big change in the rankings.

Dick can only sigh at this result, now Atletico Madrid has the strength to compete for the championship, but there is still some lag in the background and run-in, if the first half of the season can seize the opportunity of other giants to also run in not very good, grab more points, then after the start of the second half of the season, I am afraid it will gradually fall behind......

It can even be said that if the first half of the season cannot occupy some advantages, then in the second half of the season, Atletico's lack of stamina and lack of experience in winning the championship will be exposed - carefully count, there are really no champion players in the Atletico Madrid team now, and the champions here refer to players who have won championships in the top league - no, not one!

Atletico Madrid, which has won the La Liga championship, no one is still in the Atletico team now, and among the players introduced, there is basically no experience in winning the championship, Thuram is famous enough, but he only plays for Parma in Serie A, Parma has not won any decent championships, to say that the most championships are Jardel, but there is still a big difference between the Portuguese Super League and La Liga.

However, Dick is confident that after this season's training, if one or two experienced players who have won the league championship can be introduced next season, then next season, Atletico Madrid will really have the strength and heritage to fight with those giants!

Now, Dick is thinking about the UEFA Cup.

The first game of Atletico Madrid was played at home, and the reason why Dick hid Belleron and Jadel in the last round of the league was to take the initiative in this game first - play at home first, and in the home game, Dick must not give up.

And Atletico Madrid's players also vented all the anger of being forced to draw in the last round on this opponent, Graz AK is not too bad to say that the strength is not too bad, and Atletico Madrid's current strength is not top-level, but they have potential, and even Valencia will be poured four by them if they play well, and if they don't play well, they will even lose to middle and lower teams like Valladolid.

The ups and downs of the state are so big, which proves that this team is not mature at all, there is a big difference in play, playing well, it seems that any team can be killed, playing badly, and any team dares to lose - so Dick doesn't dare to use the goal card now, because Atletico Madrid's current play is without warning, maybe you use the goal card, the game is meant to win, and in the end it will be exchanged for a slaughter, and when you don't use the goal card, you will lose the game again - so Dick simply doesn't use it, The first half of the season was a test for himself and his team, and apart from some important games that he couldn't lose, Dick didn't plan to use this kind of cheating to win games.

Thankfully, Atletico and Dick's line-up have been excellent so far this season, especially in this game.

The cheers at the Calderón Stadium continued from the start of the game, with the Atletico players who had suddenly become in better form crushing their opponents at home, with Jardel scoring a brace in the game, Baraja and Vicente scoring a goal each, and Atletico Madrid beating Gradz AK 4-0 at home, a result that meant that the next away game seemed to be just a formality......

Graz AK's players fled the Calderón Stadium almost with a pale face, they have not lost in Europe, but they have often been able to perform some surprises, but now their confidence has been completely crushed by Atletico Madrid! At this time, they deeply felt the difference between themselves and the top league teams!

With the current strength of Atletico Madrid, it is a bit condescending to play in the League Cup, you must know that they are now the number one team in La Liga! Even if La Liga has only started six rounds now, this ranking does not indicate the real strength, at least it proves that Atletico Madrid is a strong team capable of disrupting the entire La Liga situation!

Being slaughtered by such a team, they didn't lose too unjustly......

However, Atletico were soon punished for their rollercoaster form, losing 2-1 at home to Deportivo La Coruna in the seventh round of the league at the weekend, and in the first half, the 38-year-old "grandfather" Donato scored a goal from a set-piece - Donato is now the oldest player in La Liga, he was 30 years old when he joined Deportivo La Coruna, but he has performed an ageless legend in La Liga, before joining Deportivo La Coruna, he played for Atletico Madrid for five years. And in this game, it was under the cover of other players that he headed the ball into the door of Atletico!

Atletico were caught off guard by such a goal, and before the end of the first half, another midfielder, Fernando, relied on a counter-attack to extend Deportivo LaCoruna's lead, although substitute Cruz pulled a point back for Atletico in the second half, but Atletico still lost 2-1 at home to Deportivo La Coruna, suffering their second defeat of the season.

With the defeat, Atletico slipped from first to fourth, ahead of three teams with 14 points – Real Madrid, Alaves and Deportivo La Coruna, while Valencia and Celta de Vigo were on the same level on points, just because of goal difference, followed by Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano on 12 points......

This season's La Liga has been in a state of dominance from the beginning, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Laco, and Valencia, plus last season's dark horse Rayo Vallecano still continued last season's performance, the new dark horse Alaves performed eye-catching, and the old strong team Celta also performed tenaciously, playing seven rounds of league games with double-digit points There are eight teams, and Zaragoza, which is at the bottom of the points, now has four points, and the gap between the first and last places is only ten points, and it is normal for the ranking to fluctuate greatly.

However, after the defeat to Deportivo La Coruna, Atletico began to face some unfavorable situation, because this week was the first week of double matches in La Liga, and after playing Deportivo La Coruna, Atletico Madrid immediately had to travel to Barcelona and then return to host Real Madrid......

They have already lost one of the three top teams in a week, and if the next two games are mediocre, I am afraid they will be quickly dislodged by those opponents!

And for Barcelona, they have been waiting for this day for a long time!

Last season, it was this damn Dick who led this damn Atletico Madrid team to defeat Barcelona on two fronts in just four days, which directly shattered Barcelona's hopes of winning the league and the Copa del Rey, and also affected their performance in the Champions Cup!

It was also after Dick said that Barcelona could not win a championship in the 90s, after the team was accustomed to winning the team in the 90s, and even if the occasional league title was lost, it would immediately win the championship in the second season, Barcelona fans were shocked to find that everything seemed to have begun to change!

The La Liga they were familiar with began to change, and the Barcelona they were familiar with also began to change!

First, in the summer transfer, they lost their vice-captain Figo, who shouted "Bastard Real Madrid, salute the champions" at the Barcelona victory celebrations! The Portuguese man, who joined Real Madrid at the world's No. 1 transfer price, for this reason, the old chairman Nunez was ousted, although the newly appointed Gaspat spent a huge amount of money to buy enough players such as Overmars Petit, Barcelona did not suffer from the flow of players, but in fact, Figo's departure, the loss brought to Barcelona is not at all something that Ovemas can make up!

Overmars is indeed a top wide player, but his characteristics are a little incompatible with Barcelona, you must know that he is a pure winger, and Figo was previously responsible for Barcelona's almost average playmaking tasks, and after he left, the burden on Guardiola was much heavier......

This directly led to Barcelona's performance since the beginning of the season is not very good, seven rounds of league four wins and three losses, performance continues to fluctuate, and in the Champions Cup they are also extremely unlucky, although the first round on the 4-0 victory over Leeds United, but in the second round unexpectedly lost to Turkey's Besquetas, the third round again lost to AC Milan, the fourth round relied on Rivaldo's excellent play to draw AC Milan away, but Leeds United won consecutive victories during this period, Then they drew 1-1 at home to Barcelona in the fifth round, which made Barcelona out of the group stage early!

Barcelona fans are starting to feel that things are really starting to go bad this season, both domestically and in Europe, which is different from before, considering that even if they did not perform well in the Champions League, the domestication is still obvious......

Dick's prediction a year ago came true, after successive domination of Spain, Barcelona began to decline, and now Van Gaal is about to lose control of the team, Barcelona are about to usher in a dark time!

Barcelona fans are miserable, dissatisfied, this dissatisfaction began to focus on Dick, you must know that Europeans are also very superstitious, they think that it is because of Dick's curse that Barcelona has fallen into such a situation!

In their minds, Dick is like a mysterious wizard in the Middle Ages, because of personal grudges, the sleeping beauty of Barcelona fell into an endless sleep......

"Let our valiant princes defeat the team led by the evil wizard to save the Sleeping Beauty!" Many Barcelona fans have raised such a cry, and they are looking forward to Barcelona beating Atletico Madrid at home and using this as an opportunity to reverse the current unfavorable situation!
