In the first half of the three-goal lead, Dick still maintained an extremely calm mentality, this substitution can be seen that he clearly knows what the team wants - in the case of occupying such a big advantage, it is the most effective way to enter the final in the most affordable way, after all, they still have a lot of trouble in the league, and it is a strength to save an effort......

In the second half of the game, Atletico only used this tactic of defensive counter-attack from start to finish, and the result was brilliant beyond Dick's imagination......

When the final whistle blew, Capello sat in the away team's dugout like a deflated ball, Roma's fierce attack scored a goal in the second half, Marchena brought down Montella and was awarded a penalty, Totti hit the penalty, but Atletico scored two goals, the first was ten minutes after the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid again scored a goal through a set-piece by Jardel, and the other was nine minutes before the end, substitute Torres received a pass from Camoranesi. Burst into the penalty area and calmly push the far corner from a relatively small angle, and score again!

Five to one! A surprising big score that no one expected!

This score means that Atletico Madrid's entry into the final is almost a certainty - no matter how good Roma is, it is almost impossible to give Atletico Madrid a 4-0 at home!

Atletico Madrid fans are cheering excitedly, this game is Atletico Madrid's biggest victory of the season, they have beaten their opponents 4-0 in the League Cup before, but there are not as many goals as in this game, this victory is enough to make Atletico Madrid the biggest favorite to win the League Cup!

In fact, in the other semi-final, Barcelona drew 0-0 at home to Liverpool, and the two teams are bound to face off in a tight battle in the second round, while Atletico Madrid are much more relaxed than them.

At the post-match press conference, Capello admitted that his tactical arrangement and misjudgment were the biggest factors in Roma's big defeat, although Atletico Madrid won a penalty in the game, but Roma also had a penalty, and the weakness of Roma's defensive set-pieces was completely exposed in this game, Atletico Madrid's five goals, one penalty, one single-handed, and the remaining three goals were scored from set-pieces......

'Atletico made a very good plan for this game and we lost it so badly...... But the second leg is on our home turf and we won't give up any chance to advance! ”

Capello finally made a bold statement that he didn't lose, while Dick kept smiling next to him, shrugging his shoulders when a reporter asked him how he felt: "How can I feel...... It would be nice to go away and concentrate on defending in the second leg...... I didn't expect to have such a big score advantage before the game. Thanks to the great performances from the players, now I am more confident of winning the UEFA Cup because we are in the best shape at the moment. ”

For Dick's last sentence, no one thinks his words are wrong - Atletico Madrid is indeed in the best state now, in the last five or six games, whether it is Parma and Roma from Italy, or Deportivo La Coruna in Spain, Barcelona and Real Madrid, they are all top teams, although one-on-one Atletico Madrid is not very scared of these teams, but one thing is that facing a strong team alone, the midstream team may also be upset, but facing a strong team of this level in four or five consecutive games, Even if it's a better team than them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on! Atletico held on, beating Parma twice, beating Deportivo La Coruna, drawing with Real Madrid and Barcelona in a row, and then sweeping Roma 5-1...... This series of results is enough to prove that Atletico Madrid's current form is indeed excellent - if it is not excellent, it is impossible to achieve this series of results, even if the strongest team is easy to make mistakes when facing strong opponents in a row.

Now Atletico are able to achieve such a good result, which not only proves that they are good enough, but also that they are in good form......

After such a difficult schedule and good enough results, Atletico's players can't help but breathe a sigh of relief - this is an easy situation, even those experienced stars will inevitably unconsciously relax after such a schedule, although the players are in excellent form now, but they are not rich enough in this kind of season to challenge for the title, it is more natural to have this kind of emotion......

Dick wasn't very experienced in this area either, and he didn't notice it in time when the players relaxed a little, and then in the 29th round of the league, Atletico suffered a big loss at home......

Until more than 70 minutes into the game, Atletico still relied on goals from Camoranesi and Baraja to lead Mallorca 2-1, but the laxity in the final moments turned their almost three points into a point, Luke's pass helped Eto'o find a good opportunity in the box, and the Cameroon striker's decisive shot in the box helped Mallorca keep the draw away from home and keep their hopes of finishing in the top four!

Real Madrid, on the other hand, relied on Guti's golden goal to beat Las Palmas away and close the gap between them and Atletico Madrid to two points – a close one......

Having suffered three draws in a row in the league, Atletico's recent form seems to have dropped, even if they have suffered three draws in a row against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Mallorca, who have been excellent this season, it will give people that feeling, because Atletico have not seen such a slow increase in points this season.

"Atletico's inexperience is starting to come to light...... It has to be said that it is a pity that they could have behaved better. Dick is also an inexperienced manager, and with such a manager, Hill still owes some ......"

Rodriguez, who had been silent for a long time, finally got a chance, and Dick didn't care about it - there were still two points ahead, there were nine rounds left in the league, and now I started to say that I was inexperienced, do you think I haven't been drawn enough......

The game against Mallorca can be described as a strong opponent in Atletico Madrid's last league, Dick will not forget that Mallorca this season is actually very strong, compared to them, among the remaining nine opponents, except for Alaves and Villarreal in the top ten, the other teams are ranked outside the top ten, as long as the next focus, Atletico Madrid will not have too big a problem!

Of course, Dick did not let go of the players for the slight slackness of the team, and the next holiday was canceled, and then they practiced hard for four days to make their memories a little deeper - before the end of the league, there must be no relaxation!

The Atletico Madrid players who were trained hard by Dick and Marriner no longer dared to have any slackness in the next game, they were extremely crazy in the thirtieth round of the league, facing Real Sociedad who were fighting for relegation at home, they played a 1-1 draw in the first half, but the second half was abrupt, Khosnov and Oscar scored a goal each in the 59th and 64th minutes, but Atletico Madrid launched a Jedi counterattack from death to life!

The news from the other venue is that Real Madrid have beaten Villarreal to pieces at home, and are already 4-0 ahead, and if Atletico lose at home, it means they have lost all four points in two league games!

At this time, Dick decisively sent Torres - and did not send Cruise, because Real Sociedad's defenders are also quite good, and Jadel was stared at by them in the first half and was not able to play much of a role, and the more dexterous Torres will play a huge role in this situation!

And Torres didn't disappoint him, and neither did the Atletico players on the pitch!

"This is the most crucial moment of the whole season." Dick said after the game: "Luckily, my players withstood the pressure and proved with their performances that they are absolutely trustworthy players! ”

After a crazy attack, in the seventy-second minute, the forward Belleron received the header that Jardel struggled to grab, and then suddenly picked up a pass at the edge of the penalty area, and Torres, who was diagonally inserted into the penalty area, picked up his right foot against the falling ball, and directly volleyed the ball and shot directly at the goal!

The ball bounced off the turf, flew past the goalkeeper's outstretched hand and into the corner of the goal, and Atletico pulled a point back!

Six minutes later, it was Jadel again, Belleron shot at the edge of the penalty area for the first time, the ball flew into the corner of the goal like an arrow, and Atletico scored two goals in six minutes to equalize the score!

Amid volcanic shouts from the stands, Dick shouted hoarsely from the sidelines: "Keep attacking!" I want three points, not a fucking one! Offensive! Offensive! Weigh it all on me! ”

In the context of countless fans, Dick's three fingers of his right hand are so conspicuous, although one point is enough for Atletico Madrid to continue to rank first in the standings, but Dick knows that if the four-point advantage becomes like this, the pressure on Atletico Madrid is also extremely huge!

Only offense! Continuous attacking, until the three points are obtained, can allow Atletico to occupy more advantages in the next games!

Two goals in six minutes made Real Sociedad a bit of a surprise, and a point is not particularly useful for them, they also want three!

Real Sociedad began to press and Atletico Madrid, the two sides stuck together in the midfield, at this time the so-called ranking has lost any meaning, only the final fight remains, only those who persist to the end will be the final winner!

Atletico Madrid in order to win the championship, Real Sociedad in order to relegate, on the one hand for glory, on the other hand for survival, the same, only that fighting spirit and strong heart!

In such a collision, Atletico Madrid's star strength is higher than the Real Sociedad player, which played a great role, when the game reached the eighty-ninth minute, Thuram and Makelele teamed up in the backfield to steal the opponent's pass, and then quickly passed the ball to Vicente in the front, Vicente broke through and handed the ball to Jadel at the front of the penalty area, Jadel received the ball and made a move to pass the ball to Belleron, who was inserted behind, and suddenly turned around and forced to shoot after attracting the attention of the opposing defender!

The ball flew into the gates of Real Sociedad! Four to three! Atletico got the three points they wanted in the final moments!
