Volume 6 Chapter 22 The Sound of Beach-Rushing Cannons
"Atletico Madrid drawn, they suffered their first draw in the league after the new year, Real Madrid and Barcelona both won and closed the points gap, can Atletico survive?"
Marca: La Liga top three all advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League without danger, and what is jaw-dropping is that Atletico Madrid eliminated Atletico Greeks with an aggregate score of 5:1.
Marc scored all five goals, all from set-pieces, including three free-kicks and two penalties, and immediately put him in second place ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bayern Munich's Gomes in the Champions League scorers' charts.
"Barcelona lost, Real Madrid drawn, haha, we are ahead by 4 points, you can't catch up", the bar next to Poseidon Square was lively late at night, the top three started almost at the same time in this round, and the results after the game were one win, one draw and one loss, and it was Atletico Madrid who was smiling.
"Oh ......", Maria said in surprise on his show, "What's wrong with Barcelona, they actually lost and drew at this important moment, and the gap between them and Atletico Madrid has reached 7 points"
It's almost the end of March, and the past two months of war have been like a drop of cards, telling the entanglement between the three teams in Spain.
And Atletico Madrid's league performance this season is absolutely perfect, and they have only lost one game so far, and their strength is terrifying.
For Barcelona, for the first time in almost four years, they have all but lost hope of fighting for the title in the league, and with ten rounds to go, they are seven points behind, and it is almost impossible for Atletico and Real Madrid to fall behind at the same time to put them in the lead.
Pep Guardiola may have reached a period of fatigue after his fourth year in charge, even if Messi has reached the real peak this season, leading Cristiano Ronaldo and Mackin in the league and Champions League scorers, but Barcelona's overall form is far worse than last year.
The first is that they have drawn too much, and then there is the complete silence of Torres, and Villa is not as dazzling as last year, which is the main reason why Messi is at the top and Barcelona is declining.
Pep Guardiola may regret that he did not bring in a new striker last summer, compared to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Higuain, Atletico Madrid's Falcao, Aguero, Barcelona's two leading strikers are too inferior this season, and their names are not even visible on the first page of the goal list.
But he didn't regret taking the medicine, and they were about to meet the Horror Trifecta!
On March 28, away vs Atletico Madrid, the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
On April 1, away vs Atletico Madrid, the 29th round of La Liga.
On April 4, home vs Atletico Malli, the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
But Atletico Madrid's schedule is even more terrifying than theirs, as they will travel to the Bernabeu on April 12, after the Champions League quarter-finals.
Mackin doesn't know how the La Liga schedule is arranged, why it is so inch, but when they meet Barcelona in the Champions League quarterfinals draw, there will be a league game in between.
The half-month of the end of March and the beginning of April will really bring them into a devilish schedule where they had the privilege of enjoying what happened to Real Madrid last year.
Only Barcelona is complaining, why is there me every time?
'It's a great opportunity for us, Atletico have no experience in dealing with this kind of intense conversation, they will definitely drop points in the league, we are only two points behind them, I'm sure we will complete the comeback', Mourinho told Marca.
Finally it was their turn to run, starting with the Champions League quarter-finals, where they met AC Milan, who were not weak or strong, and Mourinho believed he would lead the team to the last four for the second year in a row.
Secondly, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will definitely lose points in the league during this period, they can take the opportunity to widen the gap with Barcelona and complete the overtake of Atletico Madrid.
Even if they are eliminated from the Copa del Rey early, Real Madrid undoubtedly occupy an advantageous position on the two most important fronts, this time sitting on the sidelines and watching the tiger fight.
And then you can take advantage of Atletico's fatigue to beat a wave in the league, at least that's what Mourinho and Real Madrid's players think.
"It's the same for us to hit anyone!" In the face of such a critical moment, it is natural that the media will interview the players of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
And this is the unified reply of the Atletico Madrid players, who have already held a collective meeting within the team after the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League to unify their rhetoric.
"If you want to win the championship, you have to cross every mountain, and the championship is never a handout", said Mackin as the captain, "We never expected it, we are all weak teams on the road to the championship, and that kind of championship is more like luck"
"But we are sure that we are fully prepared for every challenge and the final title will definitely belong to Atletico Madrid!"
Before the start of the back-to-back campaign against Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti relied on a half-main and half-substitute to win 1-0 at home to Zaragoza and claim a very economical league victory.
2 points, still an insurmountable obstacle for Real Madrid.
Marca: Can Atletico Madrid hold out until the end? With ten rounds to go, Mourinho's team will definitely launch the most fierce attack on the league title, because this is what he must do to become Real Madrid, this is his second season, but this season of Atletico Madrid, unmatched.
As: The crazy season, according to this trend, the 100 titles that Mark said before the season could really become a reality, Madrid is competing for supremacy, and they are subverting Barcelona's domination of La Liga.
Pep Guardiola: We're not going to give up, we have 10 rounds of the league, there's a direct conversation between all three of our teams, the situation can change at any time, seven points, it's not an insurmountable obstacle.
At this time, Mackin did something that the outside world didn't know about, but it was an explosion among the players of the three teams, he built a hatapp group!
Problem: This is no ordinary swarm!
"Huh? Captain, what kind of group is this? Gabby bubbled.
"Fighting groups," Makqin replied.
"Huh?"
…… Mark invited Aguero to join the group......
…… Mark invited Alonso to join the group......
…… Mark invites Abelloa to join the group......
…… Mark invited Torres to join the group......
…… Mark invited Mascherano to join the group......
"......, what kind of group is this?" Alonso.
"What's the situation, Mark, why are you pulling me in?" Torres.
Then Mackin immediately called Gabi, a friend of the Spanish national team, he should be more complete there!
After a while, almost all of the superstar main players of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, except for Messi, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, joined the group.
Then there was a collective bewilderment.
"Let's talk about it first", Ma Qin immediately sent a message, "This is a scolding group, because I'm really tired of choking around in the media, who is the champion this season, I don't accept to come here to scold!" ”
"......", Alonso
"......", Torres
"Ha, I like this, that's exactly what I want to do, I want to say, Barcelona has never taken you seriously, you are destined to collapse, the league title is still us!" , picoseconds replied.
…… Pique invited Messi to join the group......
"Fart, don't you want to turn over, with a gap of 5 points with us, you won't be able to catch up until the summer!" Ramos is full of anger.
…… Ramos invited Cristiano Ronaldo to join the group......
…… Ramos invited Ibrahimovic to join the group......
At first, everyone thought it was new, and they never thought that they could attack their opponents in a software group like they did in the media.
Then the enemy is very red when they meet, and they don't need to be scolded without anyone stirring up fire.
"We won't give up, we're still a double this year!" , Messi looked at the chat history for a long time and issued such a sentence, this kid is honest.
"Haha, this joke is so funny, don't you usually look at the standings?" , Ronaldo.
"You will have no hope in the face of God", Ibu.
"......", the collective is speechless.
"Well, it looks interesting, Messi, you're my good friend, but this year's league title belongs to us, you have no hope", Sergio Aguero.
"Haha, just rely on your poor historical background? Finishing second last year was a super level for you, and now the first penny is not worth ......," Pique said.
Mackin felt that he was really wise, he and Isabella looked at their phones and laughed, the scolding here is really much cooler than in the media, and it also helps to relieve the pressure on his teammates.
Because everyone doesn't have to consider the influence of public opinion, they can scold whatever they want, Ronaldo laughed at Messi's height, Messi laughed at Ronaldo's number of goals, but it was the initiator Mark Qin, because in addition to not bubbling at the beginning, many people forgot about him.
Forgot......
"The championship battle can be over", Mack Qin typed, "I dare to make a bet here, if Atletico Madrid does not win the league in the end and is overtaken by one of your teams, then whoever wins the championship will transfer to which team for free, hugging the thighs!" ”
"On the other hand, if you don't overtake ......, who would dare to bet?" , a fluttering bomb.
"......", the collective was speechless, all of them were scorched by the thunder on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Uh, Captain, are you bullying people like this?" Sanchez asked weakly.
"It's like, it's too bullying, I like it, haha," Falcao chimed in.
In an instant, all the Atletico Madrid players who didn't talk much just now were brought up to the rhythm, swiping the screen and brushing non-stop, while Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic on the other end clenched their fingers, but they still didn't press it ruthlessly.
Pique was a little angry, but he really didn't dare to bet on the 7-point difference, if it happened, he wouldn't be laughed to death.
"Haha, I finally know who is the most domineering, as soon as our captain comes out, it's a mess, haha......", Mata said with a laughing expression.
"**, boring, you ...... in three days," Pique replied.
"See you in three days, ......", Messi.
"You'll be able to come to the Bernabeu unharmed, huh," Ronaldo.
Ma Qin laughed happily with his mobile phone, he knew that no one dared to bet with him about this, everyone usually scolded each other fine, but if the oath and gambling contract are violated in the West, it is a very serious personality problem.
No one dared to take such a big risk to gamble with him.
"Haha", he typed again, "Gabby, Ah Kun, do you see?" Do you now understand why we are at the top of the list? Because we are the most confident! ”
For the whole team of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Mackin had a dark feeling in his heart, he had a hunch that they were going to have time to produce results this season, and they were also quite lucky.
There are no serious injuries in the whole team, the personnel are neat, the teammates on all lines are in good shape, and they are still leading the points, if they are overtaken in this situation, he will not say anything else, he will find a piece of tofu to die, it is too embarrassing.
It shows his foresight last season, putting his teammates through the stress and torture of a long run ahead of time, even though it was quite difficult for them to win the title last season.
The construction of the psychological level was not completed overnight, and now they have been grinding for almost two seasons, and everyone's heart has become: we are the championship favorites!
It relied on Mackqin's publicity in the media, not as he did when he first arrived at Atletico, when the media only saw them as challengers.
The championship battle is really about to begin......
