"Atletico lost the second round away from home...... At the start of the new season, Atletico Madrid have played five games and lost two of them, winning all at home and losing all away...... Oh, they won the first leg of the UEFA Cup away game, but what does that mean? With a single striker in the Spanish Super Cup, but a double striker in the league and UEFA Cup, when was the last time Atletico played a double striker? That was the first year after the double crown! Dick probably didn't think about what tactics Atletico should play mainly, and when he saw that Cruise was in better shape, he switched to a two-striker, and then returned to the path of a single striker, such a chaotic performance only proved that Dick is not capable of controlling a complete team, and the success of last season's firefighting does not mean that he can succeed in this full season. 【Latest chapter reading. Hill made a decision too hastily, you must know that Dick had no such experience before, and rashly helping him to this position can only harm Atletico Madrid, but also Dick himself. ”

The "Perspective Mirror" column, which was stopped for two issues because of Atletico Madrid's two consecutive wins, began to be freshly released after the end of the second round of the league, perhaps because Dick didn't care about them before, this issue of the article is ostensibly thinking about Dick, but in fact it reveals only one meaning, that is, Hill made Dick the head coach, which was a huge mistake......

This time, Dick noticed that Rodriguez was singing about himself.

"After losing a game, it seems like people are starting to doubt my ability...... Ah, this person is a little familiar, it seems to be the one who ate the microphone in June this year? It's been a long time since I've seen you, and it seems that you're recuperating pretty well...... I would like to ask, Mr. Rodriguez, you seem to be very sure that you have made a conclusion about me so early, after all, I also made a very early conclusion last season, and I made the right judgment when everyone was not sure. How about we, or shall we make another bet? Atletico will not be a losing season and I will be successful in my coaching...... Oh, by the way, I've got to say how I can win...... Reaching next season's Champions League should be considered a successful season, if I lead Atletico to next season's Champions League, even if I win, if not, if I lose, okay? I'm treated as well as ever. As for the bets, it's just like last time, and I think the majority of the audience still hasn't had aesthetic fatigue on the topic of eating. ”

Dick replied directly in an interview with Marca, and his arrogant attitude surprised everyone a little - I had never seen such arrogance after losing......

"Well, Dick said in an interview today that losing a league game is not a big deal, and Atletico Madrid will still have a successful season this season. Rodriguez, the journalist who made a bet with Dick last season that led to the live broadcast of the microphone, has once again made a bet that he can lead Atletico to next season's Champions Cup, that is, a top-four finish this season...... It is reported that Mr. Rodriguez did not respond to such a proposal. ”

"Cowardice." Seeing that the other party did not respond, Dick gave Rodriguez such a sentence.

Then he joked to Vicente on the training ground: "Hey, Vicente, that guy with the same name as you is not as bold as you, although you are smaller than him, but you are more of a responsible man than him!" ”

"Boss, I'm not the same as his name...... I have Gillen after my name, so actually I should be called Vicente? Gillen is right! Vicente protested dissatisfied, and laughter erupted on the training ground.

"Okay guys, we lost the last round, so the media started to look down on our ...... It's a bunch of guys, and it's normal to lose one or two games in a season. Actually, I think we played better in the last round than in the first round and created a couple of more chances than in the first round, but we weren't very lucky...... We have to be careful in this next league game, Valencia is not an easy opponent to play against, we beat them hard away last season, we are stronger this season than last season, so we must take them down and prove that we are really stronger than last season! ”

"No problem, boss, we were able to win against them last season, and we can win even more this season!" Aguilera replied loudly that for those of them who stayed from last season, they still clearly remember how they won last season with a hearty defensive counterattack when everyone was not favored, and they still remember Dick's inspiring speech at halftime last season, and it was after that game that Atletico Madrid's face was greatly baptized, and they directly completed the task of relegation with a wave of consecutive wins!

To say that the most important game of last season, the away victory against Valencia is definitely a strong contender, the previous defeat at home to Malaga can only be said to have saved some of the decline, after the away defeat to Valencia, Atletico Madrid has regained their fighting spirit and confidence, so this season against Valencia, Atletico Madrid's fighting spirit will be even stronger - at least for the veteran players!

For Cooper, this game can also be regarded as his revenge battle.

Last season, Cooper had a poor start to the season at Valencia, drawing only one of the first six league games and losing all the other games, but in the following games, Cooper's transformation of Valencia began to bear fruit, going from bottom of the league all the way to the top four, and a surprising Champions League final - although the final 0-3 defeat to Real Madrid, Cooper's coaching ability and Valencia's fighting ability were initially recognized by everyone.

It's just that when Valencia was the most proud last season, it was hit by Atletico Madrid - Valencia lost very few games in the league in the second half of the season, one of which was defeated by Atletico Madrid with a defensive counterattack, maybe in the Champions Cup final, Real Madrid saw how the city rivals dealt with Valencia, and they also used defensive counterattacks to make Valencia bow down in the final, plus when Cooper was ready to bring in Vicente, he found that Dick had poached him first, The desire to buy Baraja was also rejected outright by Dick...... All this made Cooper quite unhappy with Dick and Atletico Madrid......

Valencia didn't start very well this season, they lost three big players such as Farinos, Gerard and Lopes in the summer, although they introduced Ayala, Deschamps, Zahovic, Kalou and other players, but it will still have a big impact on the run-in, they lost to Real Madrid in the first round of the league, and only swept Mallorca coached by Cooper 4-0 in the second round, and now they are recovering well, and it is the time to give Atletico a good look at Atletico Madrid's home stadium!

Dick also attaches great importance to this game, and if he wants to enter the top four, Valencia is definitely a rival to Atletico Madrid, and if he can win the opponent at home, it will also have a very good effect on the achievement of the goal of the whole season.

It's just that if you want to beat Valencia, you can't do it with your mouth, and last season's victory was largely due to Dick's paralysis of Cooper, and finally won with a surprise defensive counterattack and a goal card, and this game, Dick didn't want to use a goal card - in such a game, it was a good opportunity to practice his tactical command skills, in this relatively relaxed environment......

Valencia's defensive counter-attacking tactics last season relied more on the backfield and Lopez's lightning speed to complete, this season they are actually not as solid as before in defense, but Cooper has put more effort on offense, in the first round they played with Real Madrid away from home, and in the second round they beat Mallorca, which is very different, and Valencia last season.

However, in Dick's view, this season's Valencia is actually weaker than last season's Valencia, even from the point of view of results, in the Champions Cup, although they entered the final, but the gold content can not be compared with last season, and the league is ranked fifth and failed to enter next season's Champions Cup, their overall strength and stability are worse than last season, they can play a big score, and it is easy to lose in some games that should not be lost.

Because of this trait, Dick is still sure to defeat his opponent.

Before the game started, Dick didn't put any smoke bombs, he knew that he was silent at this time, and Cooper had more to guess - the reason is very simple, Atletico Madrid's defense this season is indeed much stronger than last season, the addition of Makelele and Thuram, two top defensive giants, made Atletico's defense immediately rise a notch, will Dick naturally use defense to counterattack? Or do you do the other way around and use the offensive against Valencia?

Both of these approaches are possible, and Cooper himself knows in his heart that Valencia as a whole is not as good as last season, even if it is not too difficult to beat them in the attack, not to mention that without Lopez, the speed that makes Atletico's defense jealous is gone, and Dick is not uncommon even if he plays a confrontation with Valencia.

So Cooper wished that Dick could say something before the game started, at least to find some of his thoughts and traces, and Dick noticed this, and no matter how the media interviewed him, he kept his mouth shut and no news came out.

The helpless Cooper even took the initiative to provoke a war of words, but Dick still maintained a valuable silence, and took silence to the extreme......

So Cooper can only guess that Dick should still use defensive counterattack tactics, although he doesn't have that kind of fast forward, but Vicente and Camoranesi on the two wings are quite fast players, and it is quite good to counterattack, and Atletico Madrid lost in the last round, this round should also use a more secure way, use defensive counterattacks to deal with Valencia, even if it is difficult to win, it is not too difficult to get a point.

However......

"We're going to take out Valencia with an attack! López has already moved away, and without that speed monster, can other Valencia strikers use speed against us? No kidding! What's more, our defenders aren't vegetarians either! Although Valencia's defense is strong, their two central defenders, Ayala is a little shorter, and Pellegrino is not flexible enough, they are not Jardel's opponents at all! Last season, Lazio and Barcelona suffered from them because of the lack of a strong centre-forward and a tactic to break down a dense defence, so what do we have to worry about? With a victory, we will tell everyone that we have to decide the qualification for the Champions Cup! ”
