397 Battle for the top of the list

Atletico Madrid is beginning to take shape, and everyone knows that another strong team in La Liga has emerged.

After the away win at Barcelona, everyone was on the same page. Atletico are strong and their goal is to win La Liga, which is extremely difficult, but they are constantly improving under the leadership of Jiangshan.

"In the process of winning the La Liga title, we must not forget that there is also Atletico Madrid."

"Atletico are baring their fangs, they want the title."

"With proper training, Atletico have the strength to be a champion."

The media began to promote Atletico, and Jiangshan has also become the subject of discussion in La Liga this week.

But he is very sensible, the team still has a lot of problems, it is impossible to win the league title easily, against strong teams, they can burst out with strong fighting power, against the middle or lower teams, Atletico Madrid's dominance is not strong enough.

Atletico Madrid's squad is relatively thin, and it is impossible to take care of all fronts.

Soon, defeat came, and the UEFA Cup away to Copenhagen was stolen by the opponent, and the opponent lost 0:1 away.

This defeat did not affect the overall situation of the group's qualification, and not many people paid attention to it. Jiang Shan doesn't care much, after all, playing all the substitutes definitely can't guarantee the team to win.

Back in the league, facing Zaragoza, who are in 6th place in La Liga, the team once again showed its strength, 2:0 in the first half, two more in the second half, and slaughtered the opponent 4:0 at full-time.

The victory in this game overshadowed the defeat in the group stage of the UEFA Cup, and all the media were optimistic and continued to trumpet Atletico's quality.

In the 9th round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Levante, who was at the bottom of the league, and played at a great level and played without dominance. Whether it's a midfielder or a backfielder, it's a bit of a no-brainer.

The feeling of calm and self-confidence did not kick out, and the taste of weakness was obvious. Jiang Shan didn't say at all that let the players wave, wave enough. There is no scolding, it is just cold.

In the end, the team played a 1:1 draw with Levante away from home, the media was in an uproar, and Atletico Madrid sent warmth, and the last time they couldn't win a game in the league was away to challenge promoted Mamurcia.

I didn't win the game this time, it was a draw with the bottom team in La Liga, what else can I do? The style of robbing the rich and helping the poor is really not a top team.

"I want to hone their minds and let them see what they are capable of. There is no champion's life, and he has the champion's disease. Jiang Shan said to Pochettino with a sneer.

"Don't you hesitate to lose?" Pochettino wondered, isn't the coach's job to lead the team to win games?

"Of course, there's no team that can't lose." Jiang Shan said firmly, "What I value is the long-term development of the team, as long as it is beneficial to the team, even if it is an occasional loss, it is tolerable." Of course, there is value in losing, whether it is to make the players vigilant or to improve the team's tactics. ”

"Our players, how big of a problem are they?"

"Our players are great, but the biggest problem is that the team is not aggressive enough, and they are poor and weak to abuse food easily. In the face of strong teams, we can explode strong combat effectiveness, and even play extraordinarily, but in the face of middle and lower teams, the combat effectiveness is unstable, and it is a problem that must be solved to compete for the championship in the league. ”

Jiang Shan knows where the team's problems are, and he is willing to use a few losses to wake up the players. It will certainly not be as difficult to compete for the league title this season as next season, and it will be the most difficult for Atletico Madrid to compete for the title if Real Madrid and Barcelona both rise.

The away game only drew with Levante, the players were very disappointed, Jiangshan called the players to a meeting, everyone didn't dare to speak, they couldn't figure out why they didn't win the opponent.

"Have you recognized the reality?" Jiang Shan glanced at the players coldly, he didn't lose, it was lucky, Levante's forwards Robert and Rigano had at least 5 absolute chances in this game, but unfortunately only grasped one.

If they were to be replaced by a striker from a strong team, Atletico would have been beaten into a sieve today.

"We are strong, but we are weak." Jiang Shan continued, "In the face of a strong team, everyone relies on hard work and can play a good combat effectiveness. But what about facing a weak team? Can you eat it? ”

"If we can't eat, we can fail, and this year's goal is to win the league, and now you see, where are the contenders for the league title? The consistency against the middle and lower reaches determines the team's position in the league. I don't want to continue like this. ”

'In the next leg, we will face Sevilla FC at the top of the table, and if we win the game, we will be the top team. Have faith? ”

"Beat Sevilla and grab the top spot."

"Beat Sevilla and grab the top spot."

The players have lit a fire in their hearts and desperately need to find an outlet to prove their abilities. Jiangshan's words are already very clear, if they lose the game against Sevilla, someone will definitely fall out of the main lineup.

Although Atletico Madrid's squad is thin, the competition is very motivating, and many players have the strength to fight. Everyone wants to be on top, especially the young and handsome Royce, who has only played in the League Cup so far, and he has long wanted to be on top.

It would have been better if someone had fallen, and he would have gone up and taken a position in the front court. Jiangshan can also make formation adjustments and try other formations.

Juan de Ramos, the king of the cup, has been in excellent spirits lately, the team is doing well and enjoying it with him.

Facing his team again, he showed rare confidence, "The last time my team met AC Milan in the UEFA Super Cup, we lost the game, this is my chance to get revenge. ”

"Also, we're number one in La Liga, they're number two, it's a battle of kings, and we're going to win and defend our top spot."

Jiang Shan behaved very calmly, did not fight with the opponent, these years, he has rarely launched psychological warfare, unless the key game, or the opponent deliberately provoked a war, he passively faced the battle.

'I'm not worried about what the opponent says, even if we're not in the best situation, but if you want to beat us at home, any opponent has to weigh it.

'Also, I'm going to make new changes in the game, the team needs to change, we have to start making small rotations to keep the players healthy. Jiangshan throws a small bomb, whoever performs badly will be rotated.

His team does not have an absolute main force, and there is no constant starter.

The game was fast-paced, with Sevilla travelling away and making several changes compared to the previous round of the league, with Bora Luze, Martí and Koné rotating their starters.

In goal, Palop was in charge, with Alves, Fazio, Crespo and Bora Rouz starting in the back, midfielders Adriano, Keita, Martí and Keylor Navas partnered, and Duda and Capel on the bench.

Up front, Fabiano and Koné started the game, with Fabiano, who was recently selected for the Brazilian national team and had good goal luck before scoring against Valencia at home in the last league round.

Tomorrow will resume the third watch.,The 2 chapters missing in the past two days will be made up later.。
