(Happy New Year's Day)

It is not easy to get revenge on Real Madrid, and the Copa del Rey final is in two months, so Atletico Madrid fans need to suppress this revenge first.

The league continues, and after a draw in the previous round, Atletico cannot afford to lose in the future, and in addition to the league, the Champions League knockout rounds are also about to kick off.

Especially the Champions League knockout round, which is very important for Atletico Madrid, because every step forward, you can get a lot more money, as for the final champion? Except for Lin Dong, a madman, even Simone didn't dare to think about it.

With the morale to reach the final of the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid welcomed a team from the relegation zone at home, with Real Betis, Valladolid, Rayo Vallecano and Almeria and Malaga at the top of the relegation zone.

With the exception of Real Betis, who are currently bottom with 14 points, the difference in points between the other teams is not large, so it is uncertain who will be relegated in the end.

Compared to the chaos of the relegation zone, where half of the teams need to fight to stay in La Liga, the top of the table is much clearer, with Barcelona currently in the last place in Group 1 having 16 points more than Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal in Group 2.

The top three in the standings are Atletico Madre with 63 points, Real Madrid with 57 points, and Barcelona with 56 points.

It can also be seen from this point that the current situation in La Liga is very clear, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona are competing for the title, Athletic Bilbao, Villarreal and other second groups are competing for a Champions Cup place and the UEFA Cup, and the rest is to fight for relegation.

In the last round, Atletico Madrid almost fell to the hands of the relegation team, so in this round, without Simeone's reminder, Atletico Madrid players will not take it lightly.

In terms of the lineup, Simeone finally began to make small changes in other positions, after all, relying on the starting line-up cannot support the whole season, as evidenced by the previous season.

It is precisely because of this that Barcelona and Real Madrid don't care much about Atletico Madrid's lead, because they feel that Atletico Madrid is not rich enough and the squad is not thick enough, and they will definitely make mistakes and fall behind in the second half of the season.

The last game also confirmed their point of view, and if it weren't for Lin Dong's efforts to turn the tide, Atletico would definitely have suffered their first defeat of the season.

I have to say that Atletico's record this season is really too dazzling, not only in the league, but also in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

"GOOOOOOOOOOO~~~ THREE MINUTES, THE OPENING THREE MINUTES, THE LAST GAME WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, ATLETICO IS STILL THE SAME ATLETICO MAD."

"Raul Garcia, Gabi assisted, Raul Garcia, who started the game, opened the scoring with a push from inside the box, and the ball passed through the crowd and flew into the bottom left corner of the goal."

Atletico launched an attack after the opening, but the first wave of attacks ended in failure, Lin Dong's header was slightly higher, and then Valladolid counterattacked and was cut off by Atletico.

Alderweireld, who started the game in place of Miranda, was inspired by the goal he cut off Valladolid striker Perez.

"Eighth goal~~~ Raul Garcia has been doing well this season, scoring goals almost every time he appears, maybe Simeone should consider putting Raul Garcia in the starting line-up."

Atletico Madrid's rotation players are not only Raul Garcia, but also Adrian Lopez, and compared to Raul Garcia, Adrian Lopez is actually a little worse, not to mention that there is still a Sosa competing with him for playing time.

Therefore, compared with the thickness of the previous Atletico Madrid lineup, the current Atletico Madrid has actually increased a lot in thickness, and there is also a Lin Dong who does not need to worry about the state and worries about physical problems, Barcelona and Real Madrid are not so honorable to get their wish, especially Lin Dong.

On the field, Atletico Madrid, who took the lead, had no intention of stopping, 1:0 was the most unsafe score on the football field, not to mention that Atletico Madrid almost lost in the last round.

Valladolid attacked with the ball, but Atletico's defence was excellent, especially Alderweireld, who almost cut off Pereira and Guerra in their passing lanes.

As a result, Valladolid could only threaten Atletico's goal with a long-range shot from a midfielder, with striker Guerra unable to receive a pass from a team-mate.

Perez's long-range shot was directly confiscated by Courtois, and Atletico launched a quick counter-attack, and Insuya started again, after a good performance in the previous game.

This time it was still a good performance, cutting in a cross at high speed, but unfortunately this time it was not Lin Dong who hit the goal with a header, Costa knocked on the front point, and the ball was held up by the Valladolid goalkeeper.

The then corner kick was cleared by Mitrovic, and Valladolid wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but it was Insua who cut off the ball at Guera's feet with a flying tackle, and the attack and defense switched again.

Or Costa, who broke the ball and came to the feet of Juanfrán, who found Costa at the edge of the penalty area with an unmistakable pass.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~2:0~~~2:0~~~ It's only been three minutes since the last goal, and in the sixth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid extended the score to 2:0."

"Costa~~~A long-range shot~~~ powerful long-range shot, the ball went straight to the corner, Valladolid did not react, and Atletico Madrid rewrote the score again."

"The twenty-first goal, the twenty-first goal Costa has scored in the league this season, and with this goal, Costa's goal count has once again pulled Cristiano Ronaldo into third place in the scorer list by one goal."

Well, the competition for the second place in the scorer list is fierce, because Ronaldo is injured again on the Real Madrid side, and this injury will be off for half a month, as long as Costa can seize the opportunity, it will definitely not be a problem to surpass Ronaldo.

On the scorer list, Lin Dong is still unbeatable, and even the suspense has been lost, even if Lin Dong doesn't score next, it will be difficult for Ronaldo and Costa to chase, because Lin Dong has now scored 45 goals.

What's more, Lin Dong will never stop scoring goals, unless he is seriously injured or like in Serie A, otherwise, everyone cares about how many goals Lin Dong can score at the end of the season, breaking the best goal held by Messi in the first few rounds.

The most goals scored in La Liga was set by Messi in the 11-12 season, when Messi scored a total of 50 goals in 38 league games, shocking the whole of Europe.

Lin Dong is now five goals away from Messi's 50 goals, and what is even more terrifying is that the league is only now in the 24th round.
