Chapter 409: No Slackness!

Chapter 409 No slack!

Although there has been no substantial progress on the renewal of the contract, the media is not vegetarian!

Soon, some media broke the news that Atletico Madrid began to negotiate with the team's head coach about renewing the contract!

At the beginning, Atletico Madrid signed a three-year contract with Gao Bo, but now it seems that three years is too short! At that time, not many people criticized Atletico Madrid for this contract, after all, Gao Bo at that time did not seem to be worthy of a giant team like Atletico Madrid, but now after half a season, many Atletico Madrid fans have begun to be dissatisfied with this three-year contract.

Gao Bo is such a good coach, how can a three-year contract be enough? It will take more than five years to lock this wonderful young coach to Atletico Madrid!

Although Gao Bo has not achieved an inch now, just by virtue of his performance against Real Madrid and Barcelona, two sworn rivals in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans, he is definitely worthy of a new contract from the team!

The topic of Gao Bo's contract renewal has not been hyped in the media for too long, because there is still a lot of content that can be reported by the media this week!

Domestically, the aftermath of Atletico Madrid's 5-0 win over Barcelona is still lingering, while in the Champions League, Barcelona lost 2-1 away to Arsenal, and Pep Guardiola's side suffered two consecutive defeats for the second time this season!

This has made the media all over Europe discuss, whether Pep Guardiola's Barcelona and Barcelona's Dream III period have begun to fall from the altar?

When you lose, you can't avoid discussions like that.

The other team that will need to play in Europe is Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho's side took on Lyon away and Real Madrid did not win, and they drew 1-1 with Lyon away – a much better situation than Barcelona, who did not lose away and scored an away goal.

The Champions League game quickly overshadowed the domestic football news and became the mainstream content of the media.

Gao Bo didn't pay attention to the news about the Champions League - if nothing else, Barcelona still have a good chance of winning the Champions League this season!

In Gao Bo's memory, this season's Barcelona will meet Manchester United in the Champions League final, but I don't know if the butterfly effect of his arrival will affect the Champions League situation this season.

Atletico Madrid doesn't play in the Champions League anyway, so he won't focus on this aspect except for some games that Gao Bo is interested in.

He cares about the team's performance in the league!

......

After the 22nd round of the league against Barcelona, the team welcomed the 23rd round of the league a week later.

On 13 February, Atletico Madrid hosts Valencia!

Valencia is definitely not a weak team, and for Gao Bo, the most important thing now is to adjust the mentality of the players!

In a game after the big win over Barcelonaan, facing Valencia, which is not weak, this is a very dangerous time!

Because the result of the last game will make the players relax and feel that they have won 5-0 against Barcelona on the road, what is Valencia?

Of course, Gao Bo didn't want the players to have such thoughts!

Almost every league round is always an upset, and in cup competitions, it is not uncommon for the lower league to beat the upper league team.

Is this because of the strength factor?

Apparently not!

If football matches are just based on the strength on paper, then the league can also be played without playing - that team is worth a lot, can it be okay to award them directly?

But this is obviously not possible.

A strong team can definitely be overturned by a weak team.

Atletico Madrid can beat Real Madrid and Barcelona by a big margin, but they can definitely be upset by the underdogs.

Such a thing is definitely not an accident.

On the football field, it is not uncommon for the weak to defeat the strong, and in addition to the strength of the team, the on-the-spot performance, the state of the players, the team's tactical choice, and even luck will have an impact on the result!

The outcome of a football match is hard to predict!

Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 5-0, and Barcelona also won Valencia 3-0 at home, so can Atletico Madrid win Valencia 8-0?

This logic obviously doesn't make sense!

So in training, Gao Bo is very strict!

On the first day of training after the players returned from vacation, Gao Bo made it very clear!

In the weekend league, he will look at the training attitude and state of the players this week, and all the players who are slack will not be able to appear in the weekend league'!

However, this week's training seems that the players are also quite serious, and Gao Bo is still very satisfied with the players' training attitude.

But even so, Gao Bo still rotated some players in the game.

The league is about to enter the final sprint, which is to prepare for the final physical reserves.

Rotation is mainly in the two positions of defender and forward.

Andrea Perea started the game in place of Godin. This Godin's performance in training has nothing to do with it, and Godin's training attitude has always been nothing to say.

Gao Bo is mainly to allow Godin to rotate a little, due to De Gea's departure in the winter window, Godin is the player with the most appearances in the team, and it is also a good thing to let Godin rest and adjust a little.

In addition, Sadio Mane has also taken the place of Antoine Griezmann.

Mane is now an important substitute in Gobo's arsenal, playing on both flanks and even in the middle if necessary.

So Gobo plans to give Mane more playing time so that the young man can grow up as soon as possible.

Antoine Griezmann has also played a lot of minutes this season, and he is still mainly playing as a winger, and it takes a lot of energy to go up and down and sprint.

Valencia's side is all the main forces.

Due to the rise of Atletico Madrid, Valencia has always been able to fight for a third or fourth place in the past, at least in the Champions League. But now there are several teams vying for the fourth position.

Valencia, Sevilla, Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao!

All of these teams are within one game of points, with Valencia currently fifth, but they are also level on points from fourth-placed Sevilla, who are only behind each other.

Valencia, who are at their best, have not been able to make any big waves at the Calderón Stadium after all.

Valencia, who has Mata, Joaquín and Soldado, failed to withstand the onslaught of Atletico Madrid at the defensive end!

Sergio Aguero opened the scoring in the first half, and in the second half, Luka Modric's long-range shot from outside the box sealed the win.

Atletico Madrid beat Valencia 2-0 to extend the team's unbeaten run in the league!

After the big win over Barcelona, the Atletico Madrid players showed no signs of letting up!

This also made Gao Bo breathe a sigh of relief!

This match allowed Atletico Madrid to continue on the road to the league title!
