Chapter 579: Soaring

Although Atletico Madrid's "dominant" performance since the start of the tournament has made most of the media regard it as the number one favorite for La Liga and the Champions League trophy, "Marca" and "Le Monde Sports", two media close to the "traditional two of the Spanish Super League", still stubbornly believe that it is difficult for Atletico Madrid to finally win these two crowns.

Although Atletico Madrid's performance in the opening stage can indeed be called "unsolvable", this "unsolvable" state relies heavily on Feng Quan's individual play.

Yes, in terms of statistics alone, Atletico Madrid's backline is indeed the strongest in Europe, but if it weren't for the "deterrent" effect of Fengquan's speed advantage on the opponent's defense, which led to not daring to invest too many troops in the attack, their defense would not have been as solid as it is now.

As a professional player, his competitive state will definitely have ups and downs, once with the passage of games, the wind is full of ups and downs due to the accumulation of physical fatigue, then the overall performance of Atletico Madrid will inevitably be greatly affected.

In addition, due to the club's background and financial resources have not yet reached the top in Europe, Atletico Madrid still has a big gap in terms of substitute lineup compared with the "traditional two top two in the Western Super League".

As a result, when the season enters the middle and late stages, especially when Japan is not far away at the end of the year to compete in the Club World Cup, their competitive form will inevitably be affected to a certain extent. What's more, after the start of the Asian Cup in January next year, Feng Quan may have to go to Australia, thousands of miles away, to help the Chinese team.

At that time, the state is likely to decline, and the lack of Feng Quan, a weapon to counter Atletico Madrid, not to mention continuing to maintain today's strong performance, as long as it can ensure that it will not be quickly opened up by the "traditional two Western Super League powerhouses", it will already be thanks to God.

In fact, there is some truth in the analysis of Marca and World Sport, but their analysis is only based on the counter-draw of "ordinary people".

However, Feng Quan, who is added by the system, is obviously not an ordinary person.

That's right, the continuous high-intensity matches will indeed make Feng Quan feel tired, which will have a certain impact on his competitive form, and even increase the likelihood of him suffering injuries to a certain extent.

However, coach Diego Simeone often replaces him early when the game is already decided, which not only relieves the fatigue of Feng Quan's body, but also reduces the risk of injury to a certain extent. Even if Feng Quan's "state" really drops to a lower level, he can still push it back up to a more "safe" level by "consuming" skill points.

In addition, due to Fengquan's superior deterrent, many teams in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga only chose to adopt a "gambling" attack in the opening stage when they met Atletico Madrid.

If you can break the goal, it is best, if not, choose to give up "strategically". After all, instead of fighting to the death with Atletico Madrid's bayonets and finally losing, it is better to use the limited energy on other teams that are more likely to win.

As a result, from the seventh round of the seventh round away to Valencia on October 4, until the start of the Club World Cup at home against Villarreal, they have won all nine league games, and they have scored 28 goals in the game while only being scored by the opponent 2 goals.

And the reason why Atletico Madrid was able to achieve such good results in La Liga is naturally inseparable from the promotion of Fengquan.

In the process of Atletico Madrid's 15-game winning streak in the league, Feng Quan not only scored in every game, but also firmly occupied the top spot in La Liga's scorer list with 28 goals.

While Atletico Madrid smashed their opponents one by one, their city rivals also swept away their previous decline since losing the "Madrid Derby" in the third round, not only remaining unbeaten in 12 league games, but also knocking Barcelona down with a score of 3-1 in the ninth round of the "Spanish National Derby".

Just as Feng Quan helped Atletico Madrid continue to break the winning streak, the strong performance of the Real Madrid team is also inseparable from the excellent performance of the number one star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although the Portuguese king failed to score every game like Feng Quan, his strong performance of scoring 21 goals in 15 rounds of the league also made him sit in the second place in the scorer list without any suspense.

Although Barcelona, which lost the "national derby", did not slump, the overall state of the team showed a certain downward trend. If it weren't for the hard support of Argentine king Messi, I am afraid that before Atletico Madrid has a decline in form, Barcelona itself will be further expanded by the opponent.

Atletico Madrid, which is soaring in the domestic league, has also continued its "dominant" performance in the Champions League.

Since beating Serie A hegemon Juventus 2-0 in the second round of the group stage, Atletico Madrid has defeated Swedish champion Malmo 5-0 and 3-0 home and away, and defeated Greek giants Olympiacos 4-0 at home, locking the group namesake in advance.

In the Champions League group stage competition, Feng Quan still maintained a strong performance of scoring goals per game, but it was only because Atletico Madrid locked the top spot in the group in advance, and encountered the "snow hidden" of head coach Diego Simeone in the final round of the group stage against Juventus, which caused Feng Quan to further increase his "goal account". Even so, Feng Quan still firmly occupied the top spot in the Champions League scorer list with a strong performance of 10 goals.

At this point, Atletico Madrid, which has established a huge advantage in the La Liga standings and easily won the top spot in the Champions League group, can finally start its first "Club World Cup journey" without any worries.

Even so, the two media outlets, "Marca" and "World Sports", are still "stubborn" in believing that the "traditional two top two in the Western Super League" will miss at least 4 rounds of league games in the Asian Cup with the Chinese team in January next year, and approach Atletico Madrid in the standings. Then, with the advantage of the substitute lineup, it completed the comeback against Atletico Madrid in the second half of the league......
