Chapter 486: Thirty-Nine Undefeated (First Update)

The tussle between the players' union and the professional leagues has finally come to an end, and the La Liga competition has finally begun the journey of the new season.

On August 27, the real opening match of the season was played between Sporting Gijón and Real Sociedad, and in the end, Sporting Gijón lost 1-2 at home!

The day after that, La Liga was in full swing!

Atletico Madrid's first opponent was at home to Osasuna.

It was the team's first league game of the season and it was also very important.

If Atletico Madrid can not lose at home to Osasuna, they will set a new unbeaten record in La Liga.

Prior to that, La Liga's unbeaten record was exactly 38 rounds, held by Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad started in the 29th round of the 1978-1979 season and went unbeaten in 38 games across the 1979-1980 season to the 32nd round of the 1979-1980 season.

Now Atletico Madrid is in the same situation, they were unbeaten in 38 rounds last season, and this season their goal is to defend the league title!

Now, they may also set a new record - unbeaten in 39 rounds in La Liga!

......

Unlike Atletico Madrid, who claim to defend their title, most of the Spanish media are optimistic about Atletico Madrid's record-breaking.

Because with the strength of Atletico Madrid, it is easy not to lose to an opponent in a game, or even an opponent Beihai City!

Osasuna are not very strong, they finished ninth with 47 points last season, and they can be regarded as one of the most mid-table teams in La Liga, but with their quality, even if they go to relegation or even relegation, it is not surprising.

In addition to Barcelona Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid was previously the second group with Valencia, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao and Villarrelal, these teams are teams that may impact the Champions League zone, as for other La Liga teams, there is no obvious gap in strength between them, therefore, the point gap between Osasuna in ninth place and twentieth place is only eight points....

In this sense, the teams after the ninth place can only be regarded as relegation teams, and once they do not perform well, they may be in danger of relegation at any time.

However, the media was optimistic about Atletico Madrid, which made Gao Bo frown.

The unanimous optimism of the media may make the team have the idea of underestimating the enemy, which is unacceptable.

Ahead of the game against Osasuna, he reminded his players to focus on the game and not on what to record.

"Don't let up! If you score, don't let up, we need to get more goals right away!! Only in this way can we ensure that their fighting spirit is broken! ”

"We're going to have a lot of resistance because Osasuna have a clear reason to work hard – they don't want to be a stepping stone to our record-breaking!! Their head coach will also use this to boost morale! ”

"On a technical level, they can't fight us. So if Osasuna want to win the game, there is only one way, they will use their bodies to impact us, and bring the game into a kind of chaotic chaos, they can fish in troubled waters and win in chaos! ”

"It's very easy to deal with a team like this, we need to control the ball, keep the ball at our feet, use continuous passing and possession, slowly wear down their fighters, and put Osasuna in the mud, so that even if they want to find a physical confrontation, they can't find anyone!"

"Remember, don't let the ball stay at your feet for too long, against a bull, we need to win with intelligence!! We don't have to go toe-to-toe with them, and if we have to pay the price of injury against Osasuna, it will be too much to lose! ”

........

Osasuna, for their part, did want to use tough physical duels against Atletico Madrid's passing.

Now everyone knows that against a team with technical flow, you have to find a way to play with intensity.

It's like Inter Milan's back three against Barcelona back then.

Osasuna certainly don't want to be a stepping stone for other teams, so they'll be looking for a win away from home!

"Now the media are talking about Atletico Madrid's record-breaking, everybody thought they were going to win at home without much effort, and we were ignored by everybody!"

In the away dressing room, Osasuna's manager Modou Mendiliba looked at his players and said,

"Obviously, we are being underestimated. We were considered absolutely impossible to win away from home against Atletico Madrid and we were considered a stepping stone to Atletico Madrid's record!! ”

"In the future, we will be mentioned countless times, but.... It's as a supporting role, it's as the team that was unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of the gun when someone else broke the record!! ”

"We definitely don't want to be a stepping stone!! We at Osasuna are not lambs to be slaughtered, nor are we tools that our opponents can use to keep records!! ”

After the manager finished speaking, the players of Osasuna walked out of the dressing room in high spirits, ready to fight to the death against Atletico Madrid!

......

However, things were not as simple as Osasuna's players thought.

They thought that with their enthusiasm and high morale, they would definitely be able to meet Atletico Madrid!

They run aggressively and must be focused from the start!

They want to get the pace up at the start of the game and get it into a high-pitched and fast pace.

But the game didn't go as Osasuna players would have liked.

As soon as the match started, the game went into the hands of Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's players were patient, they were in control of the football, the three players in midfield plus Antoine Griezmann, the pass between the four players made it difficult for Osasuna's players to steal, and when they went all out, the Atletico Madrid players passed the ball to the back.

The football field is huge, and any Atletico Madrid player with the ball can easily find the direction of the ball.

In the beginning, Osasuna's players spared no effort to run after the football.

But they soon discovered that their physical exertion had risen dramatically, but they had not yet snatched the football.

So Osasuna's fouls began to mount.

But after more fouls, the referee is not vegetarian.

Just fifteen minutes into the game, Osasuna were shown two yellow cards, after which Osasuna began to be honest and found that they could do nothing about Atletico Madrid.

The rhythm gradually slowed down, and Osasuna's enthusiasm for the opening game was gradually worn out.

When Gao Bo saw this scene, a smile that belonged to the victor appeared on his face.

This match is completely in the orbit of Atletico Madrid, and Osasuna can only be led by the nose by Atletico Madrid!

Atletico Madrid is not in a hurry either.

In this game, Gao Bo did not ask the team to attack with all his might, but sought opportunities in control. This is for the next two games.

The importance of the game is high and low, and although this game is a record issue, there is no need for Atletico Madrid to pay too much in this game.

Atletico Madrid have the quality to completely control the game.

And the goal came naturally.

In the 38th minute of the game, when Osasuna's players had been numbed by Atletico Madrid's feet, Modric keenly spotted a hole in their backline!

A straight shot, Aguero suddenly stepped forward, received a pass in the penalty area and shot directly at the goal!!

1 to 0!!

Atletico Madrid takes the lead.

It was such a goal in the first half, and in the second half, Osasuna made changes and their players regrouped.

But a basin of cold water poured on the head!

This time it was Reyes who scored the goal, taking advantage of Osasuna's distraction defence, to burst forward with the ball himself and then score with his feet on the edge of the box!

Two to zero!

This is also the score at the end of the game!

Atletico Madrid beat Osasuna at home to set a new unbeaten record!

"Thirty-nine games unbeaten, a record that belongs entirely to Atletico Madrid!!!!!! Congratulations to them!!! ”
