Chapter 634: Real Madrid who began to regret it
When Atletico Madrid returned from Vienna, almost everyone had this phrase in their minds, although Europe may not know what a fisherman's profit is.
Because the Spanish national derby is coming, the tenth round of La Liga, this week is definitely the most anticipated week for neutral fans around the world.
As for the other teams in La Liga, they are also expecting, but they are expecting completely different from the expectations of neutral fans, such as Atletico Madrid, or Atletico Madrid, or everyone else, they are expecting Real Madrid and Barcelona to lose both.
After nine rounds, La Liga still has a full win and only one team, Atletico Madrid, which also allows Atletico Madrid to dominate and rank second in the standings.
Then there is Barcelona, who are unbeaten in the season, and with a draw with Osasuna in the ninth round, Barcelona are officially two points behind Atletico Madrid and are second in the table with 25.
The third is Real Madrid, with a record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the nine rounds of the league, and in the fourth round of the league, Real Madrid played 2:2 with the opponent at the Love Song Stadium in Villarreal.
Then came the seventh round, the first climax of the La Liga season since the start of the season, the Madrid derby, where Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 4-1 at the Bernabeu with a performance that shocked the world.
Real Madrid are now three points behind Barcelona with 22 points and five points behind Atletico Madrid in third place, and it is clear from the points that these three teams belong to the first tier.
However, the ranking of the first group is still a bit surprising, whether it is from the strength of the team or all aspects, Atletico Madrid should not be at the top of the list, but they are the top of the list, and they still occupy the top of the list.
What makes the two teams even worse is that in the next round of the game, the second and third Barcelona and Real Madrid will have the most intense and direct battle.
As for Atletico Madrid? Their opponents are Real Betis, who also have a real Royal, but they have been very miserable this season, and after nine games, the team that finished seventh in the league last season is now in the quagmire of the relegation zone.
The real Betis of Keling not only had a miserable result, but even the fans of Atletico Madrid, who were opponents, were somewhat ignored, and Atletico Madrid fans never cared so much about a game that was not Atletico Madrid.
Even Atletico fans have been divided into several camps, including those who support Real Madrid, who hope that Real Madrid can beat Barcelona so that Barcelona are five points behind Atletico.
As a sworn enemy in the same city, Atletico Madrid would like Real Madrid to fall behind more or even be relegated, although this wish is somewhat impossible.
There is also a part of this that the two teams have drawn in the end, so that Atletico can not only extend their advantage over Real Madrid, but also extend the points with Barcelona to four points.
Real Betis was ignored by Atletico Madrid fans in this way, completely ignored, as for the Atletico Madrid team, Simeone naturally would not do this kind of thing, although Real Betis's results are indeed not good, but Real Betis is not bad, and the main framework of last season has always been there.
But even so, Real Betis felt that they were being underestimated, and although it was true, Real Betis coach Pepe Mel was not convinced.
"Atletico Madrid is not invincible, the Spaniards in the last round almost ended Atletico Madrid's winning streak" Pepe Mel was clearly a little overwhelmed.
It was all the fault of last season, when Betis finished seventh in the county under his leadership, but now? If this continues, it is estimated that the heroes of last season will become the culprits of this season.
And Pepe Mel is so obviously morale-boosting, Atletico Madrid is the best player in La Liga this season, if Betis can really beat Atletico Madrid, even if it is a draw, it will be a huge boost for Betis.
After the head coach shouted, the captain of Real Betis, who is currently injured, also came out to brush up on a wave of presence, and like the manager, Perez also wanted to motivate the team.
It's just that Real Betis' punch seems to have hit the cotton, because Atletico didn't pay attention to their "provocation", and there was not even anyone who responded.
It's true that Simeone doesn't take Betis lightly, but he doesn't really always have Betis either, thanks mainly to the current situation of the Atletico players.
After the last round of transformation, Atletico Madrid does not say that there have been any earth-shaking changes, but it has indeed brought some changes to Atletico, such as confidence, such as mentality.
And Atletico Madrid is not without busy things these days, while preparing for the game, Atletico Madrid also needs to build momentum for Lin Dong, because in a few days, that is, two days after the end of the match with Real Betis, the 23-man Ballon d'Or list will be announced soon.
Although Lin Dong only joined Atletico Madrid this season, Lin Dong is now a person from Atletico Madrid, and if Lin Dong can be shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or squad, it will also be of great benefit to Atletico Madrid.
It's not right, it should be said that there is no suspense about Lin Dong being shortlisted for the Golden Ball Award, with Lin Dong's performance last season, plus this season's results in Atletico Madrid, if Lin Dong can't be shortlisted for the goal, then it's the real hell.
What's more, Raiola has been building momentum for Lin Dong since 800 years ago, of course, this also requires Lin Dong's cooperation, and Lin Dong did not disappoint Raiola, and the goals seemed to be scored without money.
You must know that Lin Dong's goal bonus alone has accumulated to 420,000 euros, 20,000 euros per goal, and according to this goal efficiency, millions of dollars in a season can't run away, let alone 5,000 euros more goals in the Champions League than in the league.
Raiola's goal is to send Lin Dong to the top three of the Ballon d'Or, and even if Lin Dong missed the two most important games of the last season for Real Madrid, Raiola even let Lin Dong attack the Golden Ball.
Last season there was no major tournament, and the Golden Ball was almost decided by the Champions League, and last season, although it was intermittent in the league, the performance was still eye-catching.
As for the Champions League, the goal record that has been in the dust for half a century is the best proof of this, with 18 Champions League goals, which is four more than the original record.
The Ballon d'Or squad and the 10th round of the league ended up coming first, while the Spanish derby was also better than Atletico Madrid and Real Betis.
2:1, after losing Lin Dong, Real Madrid seems to be back to the old way, although the Real Madrid side does not want to admit it, but the fact is in front of them, they lost again.
Thinking about last season's hearty and looking at the players who left Camp Nou with their heads down, at this moment, Real Madrid fans may be infinitely wearing Lin Dong in the red and white striped jersey.
