Simão doesn't care, he is on the verge of the end of his career, and this season he has slowly become a substitute for Juan Mata, and there are no complaints, but for Reyes, who is in his playing year, life is a bit difficult.

For this talented teenager who used to play football on a motorcycle, he has been going around and around all these years, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and has never established himself in one place.

He wants playing time, he's only 27 years old, and he played about the same amount of time in the first half of the season as the 19-year-old Koke, so he's ready to talk to Carlo Ancelotti in the winter transfer window, and if that remains the case in the second half of the season, he has decided to look for a move or a loan.

Taking advantage of the winter break, Ancelotti is also trying his best to make up for the lineup, the back line and goalkeeper are no problem, the important thing is the midfield, the biggest problem is thin.

Take the midfield as an example, the double back Gabi and Martinez are the main players of the iron fight, and Camacho and Mario, who came from the Atletico Madrid Academy, are substitutes, which are acceptable, but the biggest problem is that Mackin is not on the bench, and the two wings have also become a problem after Mata's injury.

Although Ancelotti's tactics do not have a fuller, in addition to Raul Garcia, that is, Simão and Reyes, there is also a young player who has just 19 years old, Koke.

When fighting on multiple fronts, it exposed Atletico Madrid's struggle, otherwise how could the Europa League be below Leverkusen and get the second place in the group?

But when Reyes arrived at Ancelotti's office to explain his intentions, Ancelotti shook his head directly, "Jose, your form is not up to my main requirements, if you can't accept the status of a substitute, I can allow you to go on loan or transfer during the winter break"

Although he had this plan, when he really heard the head coach say this, he still felt a burst of discouragement, and the BGM sang snowflakes.

Just after New Year's Day, the news made all his New Year's flavors come to fruition.

When you are a small player in this cruel competitive field, don't expect too much, and you can still have a chance to be stable in the giants.

At present, Atletico Madrid is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the internal competition is extremely fierce, especially for those who are in their prime but cannot become the main force of the iron fight.

Everyone knows that now the club can lack everything but money.

And they also have a number one superstar who talks about competing for the championship every day, although he didn't say it explicitly, but it was clear that this was a survival of the fittest, and those who couldn't keep up with him would have to leave sooner or later.

Reyes, who was completely dead, no longer had any illusions, and within two days, he went directly to Sevilla on loan and signed a transfer clause for a permanent buyout in the summer, which can be regarded as returning to the place where the dream began.

In the first half of the season, Atletico Madrid's tactics were more like an asymmetrical 433, with Mata on the left and Raul Garcia on the right.

But to be honest, the effect is not as good as Ancelotti expected, first of all, Raul Garcia on the right and full-back Juanfran are both more defensive than offensive types, and there is little creativity in attack.

On the left side, Felipe and Mata played well, especially Felipe, the Brazilian left-back, who has the body and speed, the foot skills are also good, and he can defend and be good at inserting assists.

On the premise of having a double midfielder, Ancelotti intends to develop him in depth.

In addition, Martinez in the middle is a pure defensive midfielder with strong defensive ability, and Gabi is also ready to make him transition to B2B, because Mackin is quite flexible and must have someone to cooperate with him at all times.

"Boss, you look for me", while Carlo Ancelotti was studying the line-up, Mackin knocked on the door and walked in, he had just returned from Liverpool and the second half of the season was about to start.

"Mark, sit", Ancelotti pointed to the sofa and said directly without getting up, "Reyes is gone, Mata will need to wait until the summer to return, and we will have a lot of games to play in the second half of the season......"

"Hmm", Makqin nodded in agreement, about the reinforcements, Nasser gave Ancelotti enough rights, and he could make a decision directly below 30 million, as long as the total amount was controlled.

"I know Reyes and it's a good option for him to leave," says Mackin 'We do need to bring in a wide wing, and you're going to ......

Don't wonder why Fat An discussed with Mackqin, in this team, he may not be able to decide who to go, but who to come, at least ensure that Mackin has no opinion of him, if Mackin doesn't like this person, it's not a big trouble to bring it in.

Mackin took the information handed over by Ancelotti, and listened to him while reading it: "We preliminarily screened three options, the Frenchman Payet of Saint-Etienne, the Brazilian Cayubi of Duisburg, and Nolito of the Barcelona B team, who do you think is more suitable, and you have to find your replacement, the scout recommended the Spaniard Cazorla to me"

After reading the information, Makkin lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said directly: "Cazorla is very good, I am very happy if he can join, as for the winger, I recommend a candidate"

"Huh?" , Ancelotti was a little surprised, "Who?" ”

"Chilean Sánchez of Udinese"

"He's done well in Serie A in the past two seasons"

……

There are no European games throughout January, but Atletico don't have an easy schedule either, with five league games and the re-opening of the Copa del Rey and, if all goes well, they will have to play up to six Copa del Rey games this month.

Due to the winter break, January has always been a dense month for the Spanish Copa del Rey, because in February, he had to make way for European competitions, so he just came back, and he was greeted by a little hell of a schedule.

On average, there is a game every three days, the time is constantly turning, and I can't take care of anything, and after playing this game, I rush to the next game, which is quite a bit of an NBA trapeze artist, but they are on a bus.

In the league, it was difficult to get 3 wins and 1 draw, and it came to the second half of the year, the reason why it was difficult was because Barcelona was too strong, and directly won 4 consecutive games with several big scores, and Real Madrid, which also won 3 wins and 1 draw, also opened up 3 points.

And the most uncomfortable thing for Mack Qin is that they did not enter the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, and in the quarter-finals, they were just eliminated by Barcelona.

This early meeting between the two heroes is arguably the most high-profile round of Spain in January, and there are too many stories, Mackin and Pep Guardiola's first meeting in La Liga, Messi regretting the loss of the golden ball again, and so on.

As a result, Atletico Madrid won 1:0 at home with Mackin's free kick, but this time they made Barcelona 3:1 on the road and were eliminated from the Copa del Rey, and Messi finally had the last laugh.

At that time, Guardiola was a little carried away with excitement on the sidelines, even if the personal relationship was good, he didn't want to become another stepping stone for Mackin.

"It's been a bit tough for us in January," said Makqin in an interview with Atletico Madrid's official website at the training ground after his return, "The depth of our squad is not comparable to Barcelona and Real Madrid, and it's a pity that we were overturned by Barcelona away from home, and the defeat is not good, but we need to look forward"

Marca: Obviously Mark is a little tired, he played 8 games in a row in more than 20 days in January, 4 league games and 4 Copa del Rey games, and now Atletico Madrid is a bit of a Mark dependency, and the away game was overturned by Barcelona, which also makes their recruitment work urgent.

"As": Attacker, Atletico Madrid needs an attacker, although Mata was not so obvious when he was there, but he can share the burden of Mark very well, and now all the work of Atletico Madrid's organization with the ball is on Mark's shoulders, so that the threat of his attack is greatly reduced, and Mata's absence has caused a chain reaction of Atletico Madrid's attacking line.

Subsequently, Mackin took the initiative to put pressure on the club, and when Atletico Madrid raised the offer to 38 million, he finally let Udinese nod, and Sanchez officially transferred to Atletico Madrid.

But Cazorla's joining is in vain, not because of the transfer fee, his transfer fee is not high, about 20 million, but he himself is unwilling to come, unwilling to play on the wing, and even more unwilling to be a substitute.

Well, not everyone wants to live under the light of Mackin, he said that there was nothing he could do, and in the end Atletico Madrid's lightning 6 million poached the 19-year-old Isco from Valencia B.

"Oh, Mark's replacements are two 19-year-olds, Cork and Isco, well, Mark is also 19 years old, not a year older than them, but why do I have a feeling of, uh, weird," Maria said in the commentary on Atletico's vs Biba final league game of the month, as Atletico announced yesterday that their winter transfer has been completed and no one will be coming in or leaving.

"That's how I feel, maybe because Mark has already made us forget his age," Morrison said, "Atletico spent a lot of money this summer and winter, but they did face an embarrassment, because Atletico didn't have a man like Steven Gerrard who was as versatile and willing to be a green leaf as Mark to assist Mark"

"So they need to reserve strength in multiple positions, but in the middle, a lot of famous players don't seem to want to come to Mark's bench, after all, Mark's light is too good, it's hard for you to get a foothold in his light."

"That's why Carlo Ancelotti chose these youngsters", Maria nodded, "Koke and Isco are both well-known in Spain, but we have to wait and see if they can keep up with Mark, after all, I heard that Mark is very strict with his teammates"

"Not surprised", Morrison echoed, "with Mark's achievements and status, coming to Atletico Madrid, if you can't get convincing results, everyone will think that he is in it for money, and Mark certainly doesn't want to accept this"

"Look at the goal, Alexis Sanchez, he got a starting position when he first arrived, and his breakthrough on the right flank was sharp", Maria changed the conversation back to seeing the highlights.

"Left-back Egypt was breached, Sanchez, very fast, inverted triangle pass to the penalty spot, Mark, it was Mark, go aaaaaal ......, Mark will not waste such a chance, Atletico finally took the lead in the first 38 minutes", he shouted loudly.

There were earth-shaking cheers from the whole Calderón, the Copa del Rey was eliminated, and Marc was reluctant to be pulled away in the league again, they are now 4 points behind Real Madrid and 7 points behind Barcelona.

Because they still have the opportunity to play at home against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the second half of the season, only by biting the score now will they have a chance to overtake in the future.

'It was Mark's 10th league goal, which is an astonishing efficiency considering he's only been back for two months, along with six assists,' said Morrison.

"So Mark dependence is something that he will have in every team he is in, Liverpool, England and now Atletico Madrid, now Ronaldo and Messi are ranked 1 or 2 on the scorer list, Ronaldo has scored a terrible 20 goals in 20 rounds, Messi is 16, if Mark has no injuries at the beginning of the season, the scorer list must be their stage"

When you stand at a height or position, of course you don't want to be kicked down, at least Mack doesn't want to, Atletico Madrid can't become Real Madrid Barcelona's escort, but a subversive!

He hugged the newly arrived Sanchez and yelled fiercely towards the stands, he has been under a lot of pressure recently, not to mention a loss, a draw will have a voice that looks down on them.

Although they are young, they also don't have much capital to make mistakes......
