Volume 5 Chapter 35 The state is forced out

Braga is located in the northeast of Portugal, not far from Porto, and instead of flying, Mackin drove a bus for several hours directly from Spain.

But the result of the game told them that the team that could finish at the top of the group, even if it was weak, was not weak, so Atletico Madrid, who rotated most of the main team, unfortunately won a 1:1 draw.

"I think we were a little bit underwhelmed," said Mackin after the game, who only played 30 minutes after the game, "Braga are in the top few in Portugal, not as weak as we thought, we have to give them enough respect, but the good thing is that in a week we still have a home stadium and we will be the ones who qualify"

As you can tell from the line-up, Carlo Ancelotti has shifted his focus to the league for a while, and today he has sent a number of substitutes, with Koke and Isco both coming on.

Growth, growth, he can also see that Mackin wants them to grow quickly, but to grow, they must compete.

Carlo Ancelotti is ready to dance on the tightrope, this is not the aging AC Milan, the squad has a lot of room to maneuver, everything depends on his boldness.

However, the rotation paid off in the league fixture that followed, with a strong Atletico Madrid thrashing Zaragoza 4-0 at home and Mackin scoring a twice.

In this round of the game, the top three also won, and continued to firmly occupy the top three with a difference of 2 points in the equal difference series, and they have been thrown far behind, losing the suspense early.

"Goaaaaal......, Mark, he finally scored in the European competition, the once feared super killer in the Champions League, did not score a goal in the group stage of the League Cup, we suspected that it was likely that this kind of game could not arouse any interest in him, and now in the knockout round, he really burst into the killing!"

Just two minutes into the game, Sanchez's breakthrough from the right flank was met by Mackin in front of the penalty area, and he faked a shot that shook the opponent's defensive back and made a wonderful arc on his left heel.

The ball hung straight into the dead corner, hit the post, and theoretically could not be saved!

"Goaaaaal......, Alexis Sanchez, he scored his first goal for Atletico Madrid, it was a good start, 2:0, in less than 15 minutes, Atletico let Braga know that they were just taking a nap in the last game"

In the end, Sanchez was in a burst of form with an overhead kick and scored twice, and Atletico Madrid won another 4-0 at home, and Felipe finally scored a long-range shot that was the icing on the cake.

But at this time, Spain's focus is not on Atletico Madrid, nor on Barcelona, who eliminated Manchester City 4:2 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but on Real Madrid, who eliminated Lyon with an aggregate score of 4:1.

God's mercy, after 6 years, Real Madrid finally got rid of the name of the 16th Lang of the Champions League!

For a while, the voice of "Real Madrid will finally win the Champions League" in the Madrid newspaper was very loud, you are blind, Mackin really wants to complain.

Not to mention that there are still 4 England teams in the top 8 of the Champions League, let's just say that Inter Milan and Schalke 04 are not easy to deal with, and Schalke 04 coach Rangnick, who entered the palace for the second time, has returned strongly with Raul, the Lord of the Rings.

Not to mention Barcelona.

And with UEFA's urine, Mackin estimates that in the top 8 match, Real Madrid will either play against Inter or Schalke 04, and then arrange an English civil war, just to create a gimmick.

For Liverpool to reach the last 8 again, Mackin is more excited than he won the championship, they drew a good draw in the round of 16, Shakhtar Donetsk, Su Shen shined.

And Tottenham have finally ushered in their revival, as Mackin said, from this season, it is Bale's stage, they eliminated Carlo Ancelotti's old club, AC Milan.

Perhaps it was Mourinho and Real Madrid who were able to advance to the top 8 that made Mourinho and Real Madrid overjoyed, and in the league that turned their heads, they were forced to draw 0:0 by Laco away, which was a joy and sadness.

This is interesting, Barcelona, who defeated Mallorca 3:0, once again ranked at the top of the table by virtue of the relationship between victory and defeat, and gave Mourinho two big mouths, because he just said that he would not give Barcelona a chance!

Daily Sports: Haha! Ha ha! Mourinho made a joke half a month ago, and he was happy to kill me!

Le Monde Sport: We all know what Mourinho is, so no one takes his words seriously, and it turns out that Barcelona is still Barcelona!

Marca: Real Madrid must maintain a sense of urgency at all times, not relax for a moment, knowing that our enemies are stronger than ever, the Champions League is over, and we have to secure the league next month!

"As": When no one is paying attention, Atletico Madrid, who relied on Mark's free kick to beat Sevilla 3:2, is already only 2 points behind the top of the table! , they are trying to overtake!

"There are still 12 rounds of the league, everything can happen", in the conference room of Mahada Onda, Atletico Madrid was holding a team meeting, Makqin said seriously, "We can't control the result, maybe the opponent will never give us a chance, but every game that allows us to fight, the opportunity is always left to those who are prepared......"

The atmosphere has made the team a little nervous, after all, every round of pre-match and post-game media is a series of reports, the championship, the championship, this is a mistake can not be made at a moment.

It's easy to say to get a win in a month, but only they know how they got their win in February, and there were a few times when they were about to be held to a draw by their opponents, and they all won with that breath.

After all, they are not to the extent that they can crush the rest of the opponents, whether it is Aguero or Forlan on the front line, not to mention the immature Costa, they are not the kind of goalscorers who can output goals like Ronaldo and Messi, they are now relying more on more flowers.

Mackin has scored 16 league goals in three months, 19 goals in all games, and is approaching the 20 mark, but it is still firmly pressed by Real Madrid and Barcelona.

He even felt that it was more difficult to win the title here than in the Premier League, which was a scuffle and had not yet been able to dominate the Premier League, but La Liga Barcelona and Real Madrid had too much advantage against other teams, which caused considerable difficulty for their pursuit.

If you lose one game, it may be a season, but Mackin still connives, and even instigates this tense atmosphere, there are no fighters in the greenhouse, and if they want to win, they must face it first.

Eagles are boiled, not raised!

On March 3, Real Madrid defeated Malaga 7:0, Valencia 0:1 Barcelona, Getafe 1:3 Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo's goals in the league this season have been crazy, he scored a hat trick again in this game, and now it is approaching the 30 mark, and Mackin also continued to score in this round, bringing his season goals to 20.

The top three are once again undecided, and the ranking is still the same.

On March 8, Racing Santander 1:3 Real Madrid, Barcelona 1:0 Zaragoza, Atletico Madrid 2:1 Villarreal, Mackin completed the assist brace.

The top three won again, sprinting hard!

"There are 11 rounds left in the league and I'm suffocated right now," Maria said on her show, "who will be the one who will be the one who will fall first?" ”

"Atletico are more likely," said his partner Scott Morrison, "after all, they have two UEFA Cup knockout games against Rangers this week and next week, Real Madrid and Barcelona have no European assignments this month and their attack is not yet in place"

It really made Morrison right, Atletico Madrid suffered two consecutive draws, first 0:0 draw by Glasgow Rangers away, back to the 28th round of Spain, and then 2:2 draw by Almeria, they conceded two goals in a row in the first half, and in the second half, they relied on Martinez's corner kick and Forlan's goal to pick up a leak to lucky equalize.

It's a mental and physical problem for the team, they don't have that kind of super consistency yet, and after this game, Mackin didn't put any more pressure on the team, but started to ease the team's emotions.

"It's not the end of the world yet, Barcelona and Real Madrid can't win all the time, there are still 10 rounds of the league and we still have a chance," Mackin said after the game.

"But the next round is the Madrid derby, and if you lose again, the gap to the top of the table will widen to seven points, and then there are only nine rounds left, and the possibility of you overtaking is almost gone," the reporter said.

"Who said we would lose the Madrid derby, we won Real Madrid 4-1 at the Bernabeu, this time in Calderón, we will make Real Madrid feel the ...... of our attitude"

However, this period of fixtures has been very unfavorable for Atletico Madrid, who will have to fight Glasgow Rangers in the last eight of the UEFA Cup before the Madrid derby.

Three days later, at Calderón, Atletico Madrid relied on an extremely economical style of play to win 1-0 against Rangers, with Mackin slowing down the pace of the whole team and finally relying on his one-time header to score and Atletico Madrid advanced to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

Marca: Barcelona is flat! They were unexpectedly held to a 1-1 draw at home by Getafe in a derby match in Madrid that will determine the final outcome of the league title!

"As": Mourinho said proudly, laughing that the last one must be Real Madrid, and they will avenge the Bernabeu in Calderón!

But when the game ended, Calderón erupted in boos, what about the revenge you said, what about your pre-match momentum? The score on the big screen is 0:0!

It's glaring!

This is a score that no one can be satisfied with, and Mourinho finally used his killer feature, Pepe's position premise, three back system, obviously to steal one from Atletico Madrid.

Their possession rate was as low as a pitiful 30% throughout the game, not because Atletico Madrid was really able to suppress Real Madrid so badly, but because they gave up on their own initiative.

And this absolute chance to score, Real Madrid does have more opportunities than Atletico Madrid, but they also failed to grasp it, originally thought to be a watershed round of games, the top three suffered a draw together.

"That's his football," Mack said, shrugging his shoulders in the media area, "My teammates are playing well, we're not being pulled apart, are we?" 4 points? 9 rounds, it's not over yet, I'm waiting for the national derby! That's when we overtake! ”

After the interview, Mackin did not go back to the base with the team, but directly got on his special plane and flew to Wales, the national team game is about to start again, and they will play the European Championship qualifiers in three days, Wales vs England match.

This is also the first time that Mackin has returned to the national team since last year's World Cup, and counting this game, England still have five qualifiers to play this year, and then wait for next summer's European Championships.

Mackin feels that time flies, the World Cup has not subsided in his feelings, this European Championship is here again, and after the success of the World Cup in South Africa, England fans are all looking forward to the championship of this European Cup.

This can be felt by the thousands of England fans who greeted him as soon as Mark Qin stepped off the plane, knowing that this is Cardiff, the capital of Wales, not England.

"The champion, St. Marc's, is bringing us a European Cup!" , "Mark, Mark ......", it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, Mack Qin didn't expect to be surrounded at the airport, he was in Spain after the World Cup, and he didn't expect the frenzy of England fans to be still there.

"I've got to get a couple of specialized fitness planners and conditioners," he said as he waved to the fan as he got into the arranged car and said to Jonathan in the front seat.

"What's wrong? Feeling like you can't keep up? Jonathan asked nervously.

"No", he shook his head, "think about it, since I debuted, I haven't participated in a full season, either the league or the Champions League, it's impossible to do this at Atletico Madrid, although it's okay now, but I'm already feeling the pressure on my physical fitness, and I have to prepare early"

"So that's the case, then I understand, I'll arrange it right away", Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief, this is the signature battle between his two men, Mark Qin VS Bale, no one should have a problem.

Like an antelope running at full speed, he not only has to urge his teammates to run, but also has to run with his life......
