Chapter 517: "Atypical" Ronaldo?

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Feng Quan received a prompt from the system to complete the "Football Professional Side Mission (4)" in his mind.

So, after returning to the players' locker room, Feng Quan first briefly celebrated the victory with the coaching staff and teammates, and then took the opportunity to take a shower in the bathroom to receive the reward for the mission.

Although Feng Quan was a little regretful that he couldn't get the "double reward", after seeing that he had accumulated 23 skill points, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

Since Feng Quan has scored 30 goals in the league and provided 15 assists for the team, as long as he can be selected in the official league team after the end of the season, he can complete the "Soccer Pro Daily Mission (4)" set by the system before the start of the season to earn 10 skill points and 20 soccer professional attribute points. Although Feng Quan cannot influence the official results of La Liga, he believes that with his performance, he will not be excluded from the "best team" unless the opponent has mental problems.

In this way, Feng Quan can collect 30 skill points and upgrade the [Great God's Light] again.

Although Feng Quan's wish to upgrade [God's Light] may not be completed until the end of the season, the "Football Class Attribute Value" rewarded by the system can directly increase Feng Quan's instant combat power.

After briefly checking his [Football Career Attributes], Feng Quan increased his [Distance] to 93 points.

With Atletico Madrid's strong form this season, even though they have opted for a counter-attacking style of play for most of their matches, they have faced more and more opponents who have resorted to dense backcourt tactics.

The likes of Feng Quan, Antoine Griezmann and Saul were able to break through the dense defence of most of their opponents, but they did so at a great cost.

Therefore, when the opponent adopts a dense defensive strategy, even if the long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area cannot directly break the opponent's goal, it may force the opposing player to shrink firmly and swing the bus near the penalty area.

In fact, Feng Quan's current skill points can fully increase many of his offensive attributes to full value, thus making those defenders who face him feel real despair.

It is precisely in order to help the Chinese national team reach unprecedented heights in future competitions that Feng Quan will not hesitate to "waste" valuable skill points on the "special benefit" skills of [God's Light].

…………

Because of the Champions League knockout match with AC Milan just three days ago, in the league against Osasuna away on February 23, nearly half of the main players, including Feng Quan and Diego Costa, were put on the bench by Diego Simeone.

But even so, Atletico Madrid won 2-1 at home against Osasuna thanks to goals from Antoine Griezmann and David Villa. So far, Atletico Madrid, who have won 16 consecutive games since being held to a draw by Espanyol in the ninth round of the league, have equaled Barcelona's La Liga winning streak set in the 2010-2011 season.

As long as Atletico Madrid can win next week's Madrid derby, they can surpass Barcelona's record of winning streaks in La Liga.

…………

Although Atletico Madrid has established an 11-point advantage in the standings after the first 24 rounds of La Liga, the "mouthpiece" media of Real Madrid and Barcelona are still "stubborn" that the ownership of this season's La Liga title is still in suspense.

After all, as long as the "top two in the Spanish Super League" win the direct battle with Atletico Madrid, they can erase the gap of six points. At the same time, with the gradual consumption of players' physical strength, Atletico Madrid, whose squad thickness is inferior to the "top two in the Western Super League", is also likely to collapse at the end of the league.

However, while Atletico Madrid, who played most of the substitutes, still equaled Barcelona's La Liga winning streak, Barcelona and Real Madrid, who were in second and third places in the standings, unexpectedly lost at the same time in this round.

In fact, the unexpected defeat of the "top two in the Western Super League" was not because of their bad performance, but simply because they were so unlucky. For Barcelona, Neymar not only wasted the many good chances Messi created for him in the game, but also hit the post three times in succession in the opening stages of the second half. And Real Madrid also had a very "tacit understanding" of 5 shots on the post, of which Ronaldo alone took 4 of them.

As a result, even the mouthpiece media of the "top two in the Spanish Super League" have to admit that there is no team that can prevent Atletico Madrid from being crowned La Liga champion this season. After all, Atletico Madrid, with a 14-point advantage, can selectively send a large number of substitutes in certain games to give the main players enough rest to maintain good competitive form in important games. What's more, even the god of luck seems to be on their side.

However, since Atletico Madrid will break Barcelona's La Liga winning streak if they win the next "Madrid derby", the mouthpiece media of the "top two in the Spanish Super League" still hopes that Real Madrid can win at least one draw, so as to avoid becoming a stepping stone for the city rival to set a record.

In fact, even without the "reminder" of the mouthpiece media, Real Madrid does not want to see their city rivals step on their own to set a new record.

However, with the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Schalke 04 in Germany on February 27, Ancelotti is not very sure that his team will be able to prevent his rivals from setting a new La Liga winning streak in the "Madrid derby" on March 2.

After all, for the current Real Madrid team, instead of fulfilling their vanity by preventing their rivals from setting new records, it is better to focus more on the Champions League, which still holds hopes of competing for the title.

Perhaps the god of luck wanted to deliberately make up for Real Madrid's unexpected defeat in the last round of the league, less than 3 minutes into the game with Schalke 04, Bale cut inside on the right side and then made a tentative long-range shot from outside the penalty area, which actually hit the opposing player's body and flew directly into the upper right corner of Schalke 04's goal.

15 minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through to a cross near the bottom line on the left flank, and unexpectedly avoided the opposing three defenders and successfully came to Bale who was ambushed at the back post.

As a result, Bale, who was barely marked by anyone, calmly sent the ball into the upper right corner of the opponent's goal again.

Although Schalke 04, who were playing at home, immediately launched a fierce counterattack, in the case of Real Madrid's intention to recover, it could not change the situation of two goals behind until the end of the first half.

After the change of sides, the Real Madrid team, which has always been good at playing tailwind, took advantage of the opponent's big bet on the back defense, and in the 49th and 57th minutes of the game, Bale and Benzema each scored to rewrite the score to 4-0.

Seeing that the team had a four-goal lead, Ancelotti intended to replace Ronaldo, Bale and other core figures of the team in order to save strength for the "Madrid derby" a few days later.
