Chapter 408 Renewal?

The moment the whistle blew, the Barcelona players left the pitch in a hurry!

At this time, only the players of Atletico Madrid were left on the pitch, and they had to come to the stands of the visiting team's fan zone to thank the visiting fans who had come from afar for their support.

They didn't stay in the stadium for long, though, because it was the opponent's home stadium after all.

The celebration continues into the locker room!

The players were beaming, especially when they got to the dressing room. It's even more self-liberating.

When Gao Bo came in, the locker room was already full of ghosts and wolves, and a group of young people in their twenties were bare-shirted in the dressing room, which was really not too good-looking.

However, Gao Bo still looked at the players with a smile, he stretched out his hand, and the players quickly quieted down.

"In this game, everyone's performance was fantastic!"

Gao Bo praised!

A 5-0 win against Barcelona was certainly a good performance.

The players cheered, but Gao Bo quickly poured some cold water on the players to cool them down.

"With a win against Barcelona, we have the initiative in the league!"

Gao Bo paused for a moment, then continued: "But...... Winning against Barcelona is three points, what if we lose to other opponents? It's also three points! Therefore, the biggest significance of this game is to get three points! There are sixteen rounds left in the league, sixteen games! If we get too carried away and drop points in other games, Barcelona can catch up too! And don't forget, there's another Real Madrid on the lookout! ”

After listening to Gao Bo's words, the players gradually calmed down.

Seven points ahead of Barcelona seems like a lot, but if you do lose in other rounds, the seven-point gap will soon be squandered, and the league is still a long one, so you can't take it lightly!

After cooling down the players, Gao Bo also quickly went to the press conference!

In the press room, the reporters in Catalonia were in mourning, while the reporters in the Madrid area were beaming!

The 5-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid left the Catalans desperate to find a crack in the ground to get into.

It's a shame......

When Real Madrid lost 0-5 at home, people still remember how these reporters fell into the trap and did their best to ridicule!

And now...... Barcelona also lost 5-0 at home to Atletico Madrid in the league!

The two giants of La Liga coincidentally lost to the same opponent by the same score at their home stadium!

Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola!

Real Madrid and Barcelona!

These are all big names that are thunderous in football.

And now...... They were humiliated by the same opponent.....

Now Real Madrid's supporters feel that since Barcelona also lost so badly, it seems that the pain of 0-5 is much less.......

At the press conference, the Catalan reporters naturally didn't have the heart to make things difficult for Gao Bo - they all lost so badly, so naturally they would not jump out and humiliate themselves.

Naturally, the reporters in Madrid asked some questions that were the icing on the cake, and the whole press conference ended in a harmonious and happy atmosphere.

.....

The team stayed overnight in a hotel in Barcelona and returned to Madrid the next morning!

At the training base, Gao Bo announced that the team would have a day off.

It's also a common practice, as long as the schedule is not intense, the players always get a day off after a win.

Now Atletico Madrid is all about the league!

After the 22nd round of the away game against Barcelona, the following matches in February and March are only the league!

In fact, Atletico Madrid has only 17 games left to play this season, including 16 league games and one Copa del Rey final!

With three league games left in February, the rhythm of the weekly fixtures is relaxed, and the players have plenty of rest and preparation time.

This is undoubtedly the biggest advantage for Atletico Madrid, their rivals in the league also have to take care of the Champions League, such as Barcelona, after this game, they are going to England, go to London to play Arsenal, and then come back and go to the league games non-stop. Atletico Madrid can concentrate on the league, so in the media reports the next day, most people believe that the chances of Barcelona and Real Madrid wanting to win the league are very small!

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have one more chance to go head-to-head, unless Real Madrid can beat Atletico Madrid away.... This season, Atletico Madrid will win the league championship and break Real Madrid's monopoly on this competition!

.....

Just when Real Madrid and Barcelona finished the 22nd round of the league and went to the away stadium to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

The Atletico Madrid players arrived at the training base the next day after a day off to start their preparations.

Gao Bo arrived half an hour earlier than the players, as usual.

But today, in the office, Cerezo came early.

The boss came, and Gao Bo's work naturally had to be put aside.

"The team did well at Camp Nou!"

The chairman of the team complimented, "You have done a fantastic job, high!" ”

Gao Bo smiled, this Serezo is definitely going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he definitely has the following.

"You are the best Atletico Madrid manager in the last ten years!" "So, I'm here to ask you..... A thing about renewals! ”

Gao Bo was stunned, he had only been in office for half a season, and now he is talking about renewing his contract.... It seems to be a little early.

"Uh.... It's a bit early to say this, but I think the contract we signed was a bit shorter, and... The team also wants to give you a raise. ”

Gao Bo understands that this is equivalent to the company's promotion and salary increase for employees with excellent business.

But.... It's not a good time to talk about contract renewals.

"Mr. President, I think the most important thing for the team right now is to continue to maintain the advantage against the other two teams in the league, so we can't be distracted now!" Gao Bo waved his hand, "As for the renewal of the contract, you can go to my agent to negotiate, I think, we still have plenty of time to talk about this matter!" ”

Cerezo has some regrets, if he could, he would want to settle down now and deal with agents, especially Mendes....... Cerezo felt that things were not so simple.

.....

The next day, Gao Bo received a call from Mendes, and Atletico Madrid was already negotiating with Mendes about Gao Bo's contract renewal.

"What do you think, Gao!"

Mendes naturally wanted to consult his employer.

"Don't worry, let's talk to them first." Gao Bo said.

For Gao Bo, a three-year contract is just right, it's too early to talk about a contract extension, at least wait until the end of the second season to start talking about it, nothing is set in stone, who knows what will happen in the future?

"Good! I understand! ”

Mendes is also well aware of Gao Bo's thoughts.

If Atletico Madrid's top management wants to talk, let's talk about it first, anyway, the contract is still long. When the time comes, if the most favorable terms are negotiated, the contract will be renewed. Anyway, Gao Bo is not in a hurry.
