Chapter 379: Bluffing?

The seventeenth round of the league is over!

Atletico Madrid continues to dominate the standings.

Barcelona kicked off the game first in this round with a 2-1 home win over Levante, but Barcelona didn't win easily, conceding in the second half and falling behind 0-1!

Levante are looking to play the giant killer again this season – they have drawn against Atletico Madrid, and it seems that at Camp Nou, they are going to complete the feat of toppling Barcelona at Camp Nou.

However, it turns out that Levante's strength may not be enough to do this.

Messi opened the scoring with a direct free-kick and then Iniesta fired a shot from the edge of the box that bounced off the crossbar and into the back of the net.

Barcelona overtook the scoreline.

In the end, Pep Guardiola's team was also in danger and got the three points.

Real Madrid's match was the last game to kick off of the round.

Real Madrid face Getafe away from home!

As a result, Mourinho's team was still 2-2 until the 90th minute of the game!

They were on the verge of being held to a draw by Getafe, but Mourinho was still stubborn.

A corner kick at the last moment, Kaka takes a corner, Ramos rushes and nods the ball to the ball! Real Madrid overtook the score!

In the end, Real Madrid narrowly beat Getafe 3-2 away!

Coming back from the winter break, neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid seem to be in great shape, and perhaps their players are still on holiday.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are not in good shape, but Atletico Madrid's excellent form is very eye-catching!

"Atletico Madrid came back from the winter break with a 4-0 win for the second half of the game, and the winter break didn't seem to have much of an impact on them. But during this winter break, Atletico Madrid's squad has also changed, their main goalkeeper David De Gea has switched to Manchester United, and Coach Gobo has brought in a Costa Rican goalkeeper named Keylor Navas from the Costa Rican league, I'm sure you haven't heard of the goalkeeper's name before this, and what is even more surprising is that Gobo seems to have a special trust in Navas, in training, Navas dismantled De Gea's main position, and in the first game after the winter break, Keylor Navas also wore the No. 1 jersey and started for Atletico Madrid! However, there were not many opportunities for Navas to perform in this game, because the rhythm of the whole game was firmly controlled by Atletico Madrid, and Racing Santander, who was playing away, was pitifully scored four goals, and in Calderón, Atletico Madrid is now an invincible armada! ”

In this round of post-match replay report, the newspaper "As" summed it up for Atletico Madrid.

"What is Navas's ability? Why did Gao Bo trust him so much? Could the Costa Rican league player really play as the starting goalkeeper for La Liga right away? There is no hint of any indication in this round of the league, and perhaps we will have to wait until Atletico Madrid host Barcelona in the second leg of the Copa del Rey to know Navas's quality – if he can play in this game! ”

This was reported by the newspaper Marca.

What is the strength of Navas, not to mention Atletico Madrid's own fans, even the opponents are very concerned.

"Will Keylor Navas start in the second leg of the Copa del Rey? I don't think so! It may have been a bluff by Gobo, who had brought on Keylor Navas in a low-pressure league game to attract Barcelona's attention before sending Asenjo in the Copa del Rey – the best option in every way to choose Ascenjo as Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper. ”

On the Catalan side, Barça's mouthpiece Le Monde Sport writes.

This is not an original idea of Le Monde Sport.

The media in many parts of Spain think the same way.

Asenjo is a talented goalkeeper who is still well-known in Spain, and has also played for the Spanish national youth team.

And Which green onion is Navas?

Even if Gao Bo has a good eye for players, he can't dig up treasures from a small national league like Costa Rica, right?

Could it be that Gao Bo is still going back to follow the Costa Rican league?

I'm afraid that apart from Costa Rica's own fans, fans in other regions don't even know if there is a professional league in this country.

Bring in a player from a minor league and just let him start?

Even the most daring coach would not dare to do this.

Therefore, many media believe that Gao Bo is a bluff, and when facing a team like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid will definitely send Asenjo to start.

Who exactly will be sent to start?

Before the starting list was announced, only Gao Bo knew it.

On January 7, three days after the end of the seventeen league rounds, the Copa del Rey will begin.

On January 6, Gao Bo held a press conference in the press room in Calderón.

Among them, the reporters also asked Gao Bo about the starting goalkeeper.

Gao Bo did not give a clear answer to this.

'Keylor Navas is a good goalkeeper and so is Asenjo. As for who to start, it's in my mind right now. You'll know by tomorrow's game! ”

Gao Bo sold a pass, which made many media firm that Gao Bo was bluffing!

On Barcelona's side, at least from Pep Guardiola's feedback, it doesn't seem that they are exactly who started Atletico Madrid.

"It's a crucial game for us, we lost at home, so for Barcelona they will have to beat Atletico de Madrid to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. Yes, we've lost here for the last few seasons, but tomorrow we have a reason to win! ”

In the media booth, Pep Guardiola appeared very confident.

In the past two days, Barcelona players have also been interviewed.

Pique said in an interview: "De Gea is definitely one of the best goalkeepers in the world, I don't know why Atletico Madrid let him go, I don't comment on that, but objectively speaking, De Gea's transfer is good for us! Because it means that the strength of Atletico Madrid has been weakened! ”

"Who do you think will start between Keylor Navas or Asenjo?"

"I don't care about that!"

Peake pouted.

'No matter who starts, we have the same strategy, we need to score!' Pedro said as he faced the reporter's microphone.

"We need !! victory" Iniesta clenched his fists.

Almost all of Barcelona's players expressed their confidence in this game.

As for the media in Madrid, they are naturally hostile to Barcelona.

"Barcelona want to win at the Calderón Stadium? If it was that easy, why didn't they do it in the first few seasons? Atletico Madrid has an absolute advantage in this game, and I think no matter which player Gao Bo chooses to start, it may not be easy for Barcelona to take advantage of the weakness of the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper. ”

When Radio Corbe was doing a preview of the game, a guest said.

And in this game, is Gao Bo bluffing, or is he really letting Navas start?

You can only find out before the game.
