Chapter 387: A conspiracy is a conspiracy after all

Atletico Madrid didn't disrupt their rhythm because of the of the media!

Entering January, due to the impact of the winter break and the need to juggle the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid's schedule has also begun to be intensive.

Playing on two fronts is still a lot of pressure for Atletico Madrid, especially with a tight schedule!

After the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals against Barcelona, the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey have also been decided.

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Sevilla, Almeria, Deportivo La Coruna, Espanyol, Real Betis!

Eight teams, seven from La Liga and one from the second division.

Atletico Madrid were lucky for this round of the draw, as they were drawn to the quarter-finals – Real Betis from the second division!

The results of this draw made the media believe that Atletico Madrid had locked a place in the semi-finals in advance!

Real Betis are struggling in the second division, and against the new rise of Atletico Madrid this season, Real Betis may not be able to cope with the Copa del Rey game.

There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid drew a good draw!

Gao Bo also thinks so, and this draw makes Gao Bo very satisfied, which means that Atletico Madrid can basically reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey by relying on the second-tier lineup!

If you reach the semi-finals, you will only have three games left to win the Copa del Rey! In this case, no one will give up the Copa del Rey – in any case, it is a trophy with enough weight.

The Atletico Madrid players were in a relaxed state of mind, Real Betis could not put the slightest pressure on them, and just as the team was preparing for the 18th round of the league, something that was not very harmonious happened.

Mourinho is not willing to be lonely.

"I want to congratulate Atletico Madrid because they drew the weakest team in the quarterfinals, the weakest! So they can make it to the Final Four, congratulations to them, congratulations to their luck! ”

When Gao Bo saw Mourinho sneering and saying the above words on TV, he really wanted to punch this unruly guy!

However, Gao Bo quickly calmed down.

Jose Mourinho won't provoke Atletico Madrid for no reason!

Gao Bo, who calmed down, analyzed Mourinho's purpose!

Now Real Madrid is still five points behind Atletico Madrid in the league, and through the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, Mourinho may be worried about the real fight in the league, Real Madrid may not be able to do Atletico Madrid.

So... Mourinho may have taken his mind elsewhere.

For example... Provoke a war of words! Influence the mood of Atletico Madrid through the media!

Jose Mourinho is good at this move!

In the Premier League, even in the face of Ferguson, Mourinho dared to use this trick to directly confront Ferguson, and many teams in the Premier League were overwhelmed by Mourinho's behavior.

Gao Bo took a few steps back and forth in the room.

He himself will not be affected by Mourinho's tricks, and the key now is not to involve the players in such a vortex - Mourinho is afraid to wait for the Atletico Madrid players to spray him in the media.

Before the second day of training, Gao Bo took the initiative to respond to Mourinho's remarks.

"I would also like to congratulate Jose Mourinho because they drew the Spaniards. I don't think Real Madrid will lose to Espanyol, or to be precise, Espanyol will not win against Real Madrid! ”

Who knows, the Spaniard is Real Madrid's most loyal little brother, how can the little brother win the boss?

Whenever Real Madrid needed a point, the Spaniards were always willing to give six points and then go all out to stop Barcelona – even though they didn't win much of them.

Gao Bo taunted the ball back.

And before training, Gao Bo asked the players to focus on training and not fall for Mourinho's plan!

Gao Bo said very frankly, he explained Mourinho's purpose for doing this to the players, and the players immediately realized!

A conspiracy is a conspiracy because he cannot be exposed to the sun.

When Mourinho's conspiracy unfolded directly in front of the players, no matter what Mourinho did, the players also faced it with a posture of watching the show.

In this way, Mourinho's move to influence the state of Atletico Madrid's players through public opinion warfare naturally has no effect.

Mourinho also fired back immediately after Gao Bo's response. It's just that Mourinho's riback sank into the sea and didn't make any waves.

This made Mourinho a little unsatisfied..... Gao Bo, the opponent, did not advance and retreated with one blow, which made Mourinho a little unable to grasp his way!

However, whether the public opinion war has any effect can be seen from the competition.

On January 11, in the eighteenth round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Hekus away!

Due to the Copa del Rey match against Barcelona four days ago, Atletico Madrid made some rotations.

Up front, Sadio Mane started in place of Reyes, while Diego Costa started in place of Sergio Aguero.

Antoine Griezmann sat on the bench, and in midfield was a combination of four players: Koke, Raul Garcia, Luka Modric and N'Golo Kante.

At the back, Antonio Lopes replaced Sandro at the starting left-back, and the center-back combination was still Godin and Boateng, right-back Juanfran and goalkeeper Keylor Navas!

Atletico Madrid has made big adjustments in the forward line, but in the midfield and backline, Atletico Madrid has maintained a relatively complete main lineup, adding a Koke in the midfield, but the midfield has been strengthened.

In the end, with such a lineup, Atletico Madrid defeated Hekus 3-0 away!

Diego Costa opens the scoring for the team! N'Golo Kante then scored with a long-range shot from outside the box, and in the second half, Sadio Mane scored the icing on the cake with a counter-attack.

There were no surprises in the eighteen league rounds, with Atletico Madrid winning, while Real Madrid and Barcelona had already finished their matches, with each of them beating their respective opponents to get three points!

The situation in the standings has not changed!

La Liga duo are catching up with Atletico Madrid, and this situation is likely to continue into the second half of the season.

Inside a mansion in Madrid, Mourinho stood up and walked to the balcony as he watched the Atletico Madrid players celebrating their victory on television.

That direction happens to be the direction of Calderón Stadium!

Before coming to La Liga, Mourinho thought that his opponent was only Barcelona, only Pep Guardiola!

But this half season, the rise of Atletico Madrid has taken Mourinho by surprise, especially the 0-5 loss at home to Atletico Madrid - the most unforgettable defeat for Mourinho!

This defeat also ended Mourinho's record of not losing at home!

In 2002, the last time he lost at home in his career, the unbeaten home record of more than eight years came to an end when he reached 145 games!

From Porto, to Chelsea, to Inter Milan and finally to Real Madrid. An unbeaten streak of 145 consecutive home games is in the past!

It was Mourinho's first defeat at home!

This defeat made Mourinho have to pay attention to Gao Bo and Atletico Madrid.

At that time, Mourinho was still in a wait-and-see attitude, but now, Atletico Madrid has surpassed Barcelona and become the strongest opponent in the league in the eyes of Mourinho!

Of course, only in the league.

Jose Mourinho leans on the balcony and looks in the direction of the Calderón Stadium!

It seems that the war of public opinion has not worked!

A conspiracy is a conspiracy after all, and everything still has to be spoken with strength!

Jose Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief, and the Portuguese fighter's gaze was once again determined and glowing.
