Chapter 345: A Difficult Opponent

Eight wins in a row!!

Atletico Madrid's performance this season has completely shocked the Spanish football world!

If Real Madrid or Barcelona win eight in a row, it's nothing.

But the key to winning eight in a row is Atletico Madrid!!

This took the Spanish media by surprise.

When was the last time Atletico Madrid won eight in a row? It is estimated that even the most hardcore Atletico Madrid fans don't remember it very well, let alone eight consecutive wins, even five consecutive wins or something, Atletico Madrid fans haven't seen it for a long time.

Atletico Madrid, known as the third pole of La Liga, has really not been very good in the past ten years.

But for Gao Bo, his eyes now are not just eight consecutive wins, but.... Ten wins in a row!

The key to a ten-game winning streak is naturally to win against Real Madrid!

Because in the tenth round of the league, Atletico Madrid will challenge their city rivals away at the Bernabeu.

It's a big game and the biggest test for Atletico Madrid since the start of the season.

The home win over Barcelona is a game for many knowledgeable people who know the significance of Atletico Madrid's game, and it can be said that this game proves the strength of Atletico Madrid. However, for most fans, they don't see such a goal, after all, Atletico Madrid's home win over Barcelona is not Calderón's reservation.

However, playing Real Madrid away is different, and in the eyes of the fans, this game is a game that proves the strength of Atletico Madrid!

So a lot of the media is now starting to hype up the news of this game.

However, Gao Bo has always been very wary of the close connection between players, teams and the media, so the media in Madrid cannot get any valuable news from Atletico Madrid for the time being.

After the eighth round of the league, the team will face the Spanish Copa del Rey.

If it was a few years ago, La Liga teams would have been playing from the first round, also because the original Copa del Rey was used as a cup to support small clubs.

The original format of the Spanish Copa del Rey was rated by the media as a cup to assist small clubs because of the knockout round of the four levels of Spanish clubs "regardless of whether they are high or low". The second-division, third-division and D-division clubs that have passed the qualifying round have the opportunity to compete with the first-division clubs, which stimulates and promotes the development of local football and the operation of small clubs, and many third-division teams can earn enough "rations" for a year with a single game against a La Liga team.

However, the Copa del Rey format in the 05-06 season has been reformed, and the lower divisions have to go through several knockout rounds before meeting the first division teams, which reduces the number of games played by La Liga teams and reduces the likelihood of upsets, but at the same time, it will also greatly reduce the income of many lower-division teams. The reformed Copa del Rey format is very complex: the first round: 18 teams from La C, 18 teams with poor results in Group B of La B, a total of 18 matches Second round: 18 teams that won in the first round, 6 teams with better results in Group B of La B, and 2-21 teams from La B participated in a total of 20 teams, a total of 22 matches Third round: 22 teams that won in the second round participated, a total of 11 matches (starting in the fourth round, a two-legged system of home and away, with the lower teams playing at home first) Fourth round: 11 teams that won in the third round, the champion of La B, A total of 32 of the 20 teams in La Liga participated. A total of 32 games Fifth round: round of 16, a total of 16 games Sixth round: quarterfinals, a total of 8 games Seventh round: semifinals, a total of 4 games Eighth round: finals, the finals adopt a single-game tiebreaker system,

According to the format of the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid will join in the fourth round.

Their opponents are Universidad de Las Palmas, an amateur team from Spain's third division, who have qualified in the third round.

In the face of such an opponent, Gao Bo naturally will not discharge the main players.

On the road, Atletico Madrid played with a complete bench line-up.

The goalkeeper is Asenjo, and at the back, right-back Barella, centre-back pair of Ujfarussi and Perea, left-back Antonio López.

In midfield, Asunção, Mario Suarez and Koke partnered in midfield, while on the forward line, teenager Sadio Mane started the game, Italian striker Immobile got his first start this season, and on the right, Gao Bo simply promoted a young player from the youth team Borja to play.

This lineup actually has a certain strength in La Liga, so the University of Las Palmas also lost cleanly at home.

Atletico Madrid won 4-0 away from home, with Sadio Mane and Immobile scoring twice.

Atletico Madrid secured their place in the fifth leg of the fifth leg, and the second leg of the match between the two sides was completely meaningless because of this scoreline, and the Universitat de Las Palmas was absolutely unlikely to make any waves at the Calderón Stadium.

This season, the team's schedule is still relatively relaxed, and games like the Copa del Rey just give opportunities to young players and substitutes who have fewer opportunities to play.

After the Copa del Rey game, the team's attention immediately returned to the league.

The Copa del Rey match is also Atletico Madrid's last match of October.

Since the start of the league at the end of August, Atletico Madrid have won all competitions in two months!!

Grades are the last word, which of course also made Gao Bo's position among the fans immediately firm.

He is the manager who has changed Atletico Madrid the most in years!

The current Atletico Madrid has a clear style of play, sharp attack, and tough defense!

It's completely different from the chaos of previous seasons!

The first match of November, November 3, the ninth round of the league, Atletico Madrid hosts Almeria!

Atletico Madrid's main team playing at home is out, and Almeria has not been able to cause any problems against Atletico Madrid away from home.

Aguero, who returned to the starting lineup in this game, exploded!

He scored a hat-trick in the 30th minute of the first half, the 59th and 73rd minutes of the second half!

When Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick in the 73rd minute, the camera shot on Diego Costa on the bench!

Diego Costa's performance in these games is also good, but compared to Aguero, it seems to be a little inferior.

'Gobo now has two high-level strikers, Diego Costa is great, but look at Aguero's performance! Diego is also under a lot of pressure when he has a competitor like Aguero! ”

The narrator said from the commentary seat.

The final result was 3-1, with Almeria finding the back of the net with a direct free-kick in the final minute of the game against the handle of David De Gea, but it was useless to score at this time!

Heading into November, Atletico Madrid's performance is still strong!

3-1 victory over Almeria! Atletico Madrid have won nine in a row in the league!

Gao Bo looked at his mission, and there was only one game left before ten consecutive wins!

Just like the levels in a game, the last level is always the hardest!

Because Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu!!

In any case, this is a tough opponent to play against.

Whether it's Real Madrid or Jose Mourinho.
