After entering the new year, Atletico Madrid is indeed a bit of a bad year.

The team's results have been up and down.

This time the performance in the Champions League is also satisfying.

The team seems to be in a period of fatigue, and the pressure on them to lead for a long time is very high.

But no matter how much pressure there is, at this time they have no other way but to resist.

After all, once you can't bear it, it may collapse completely.

And they didn't even have time to frustrate that they didn't win the Champions League, and the next thing was the Madrid City Derby.

In the twenty-sixth round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Madrid away.

This match is likely to decide the league title this season.

If Real Madrid can beat Atletico Madrid at home and Barcelona beat Sevilla at home in this round, they can further consolidate their lead by four points.

These four points could cost Atletico Madrid the league title.

After all, they have to count on Barcelona to make two mistakes in the next league game, but how is that possible?

Of course, if Atletico Madrid can beat Real Madrid away from home, the title race with Barcelona will continue.

It's just that how could Atletico Madrid easily win at Real Madrid's home stadium?

Some people say that Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid home and away in the league last season, but this is not a good reference.

After all, Real Madrid itself was in a state of ups and downs last season, and they seemed to have lost the motivation to fight after winning the Champions League.

So they lost 1:2 at home to Atletico Madrid.

And now it's different.

Since the change of manager, Zidane's Real Madrid has become more and more courageous.

So far, they are unbeaten.

And not to mention the importance of the Madrid derby, how could Zidane's side lose this game at home?

So everyone is not very optimistic that Atletico Madrid can beat Real Madrid away from home.

The best result was nothing more than a draw.

But then again, what's the use of a draw for Atletico Madrid? There is no difference between the best and the worst.

Such an important match is scheduled after the away game against PSV Eindhoven, leaving Atletico Madrid with very little preparation time.

This may be one of the reasons why Atletico Madrid did not win PSV Eindhoven away from home, perhaps everyone's mind is on the Madrid derby at the weekend rather than on the current Champions League game.

Manuel Blanco was thrilled and felt that he might be able to witness two great events during this time.

One thing is that Atletico Madrid's defending league title is completely out of play; The other is that Atletico Madrid was also eliminated from the Champions League.

Add to that the fact that Atletico Madrid exited the Copa del Rey early, and they will be empty-handed this season!

When He Ping arrived in Madrid with the CCTV broadcast team, the sky was clear in Madrid, the weather was very good, and the sun shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the Barajas Airport terminal, shining on his body and even making him feel a little hot, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

But such a good weather could not dispel the chill in He Ping's heart.

He was in a deep state of worry.

The next few games could be a matter of life and death for Atletico Madrid, with the ultimate fate of the team at stake for the season.

Atletico Madrid could fail to win any of their three major titles this season.

In fact, He Ping also knows that this is the norm, and it is not normal to be in a situation like last season - to be able to win the league championship for two consecutive seasons in front of the two heroes of the Western Super League, how difficult it is and what an extraordinary thing. Want to grab another one? There has never been such a precedent in history!

In recent years, with Gao Zheng's outstanding performance, the appetite of Chinese fans seems to have been raised. It seems that no season has a championship, even if it is a failure.

But in fact, failure is the norm, and in the time before Gao Zheng appeared, for Chinese fans, failure was the norm.

We used to be very accustomed to facing failure, but now we may have to learn to face it again.

It's not a big deal to lose the championship.

Gao Zheng and Atletico Madrid cannot be expected to win undefeated.

These are all things he intends to tell everyone during the live broadcast of Atletico Madrid's away game against Real Madrid.

As a commentator, he believes that he can't just explain the game, he has the obligation and responsibility to guide public opinion correctly.

He didn't want everyone to lift him up to the sky when Gao Zheng was doing well, and once Gao Zheng was not performing well, everyone would step him into the mud.

But having said that, He Ping was still a little unwilling in his heart.

If they can win, who wants to lose?

Isn't it because you lost the game? Find some reason to comfort yourself......

He felt sad at the thought that he had come to witness the moment when Atletico Madrid might have lost the league title.

The live broadcast of this game has been scheduled for a long time, after all, this can't be a temporary decision to report and explain on the spot.

At that time, when this decision was made within CCTV, Atletico Madrid's results were quite good, leading Barcelona by as many as seven points, and the situation did not look good, but a big one.

At that time, he was still looking forward to this game.

I didn't think that a few months later, the situation would be the way it is now.

Looking at sunny Madrid, he took a deep breath to calm his mood.

You can't talk about the game with emotion.

Usually have a normal heart, even if you lose, it's nothing......

After the last day of training before the game, Simeone did not disband the team directly, but gathered the players together and formed a circle, while he stood in the circle and said to his players: "Tomorrow is our game against Real Madrid, I don't need to say much about the significance of this game, I think every one of you knows it very well." ”

"I think it's good that you're playing against such an opponent in a crucial league game and I'm not worried at all that you're going to lose your morale or let anything else affect your form. I've heard some voices lately saying that Real Madrid are happy to meet us at this time, and they want to make us lose all hope of winning the title...... To be honest, I think it's ridiculous that Real Madrid is thinking about it, even if we can't win the title, can they? But at the same time, I'm happy to meet Real Madrid at this time, what could be better than stepping on the corpse of a sworn enemy and continuing to charge for the title? ”

Everyone laughed when they heard the manager's words.

They are Atletico Madrid players, they are born to be against Real Madrid, and they are willing to do anything that can hit Real Madrid. At the same time, if it can also give Real Madrid a double blow, it will be even more enjoyable.

Beating Real Madrid away will keep their title hopes alive while showing off their home glory.

“…… So let those who are red-eyed jealous and go crazy! I firmly believe that tomorrow's victory will be ours! In the same way, I am convinced that the final victory of this season will be ours! Disband! Get a good night's sleep and let's go make a big fuss tomorrow! ”
