In the narrow win away to Bolton, Atletico Madrid spent a lot of physical and mental energy, and the whole team looked a little tired. He gave the players a day off, but when they resumed training, the players still couldn't lift their spirits.

Jiangshan knows that every time the season enters February, the team will enter a fatigue zone, and it is easy to make mistakes at this stage.

Atletico are still fighting on three fronts, with the league, the UEFA Cup and the Copa del Rey all underway, and the squad lacks depth and must be rotated.

Jiangshan has a bit of a headache, the league can still be put aside for a while, they have a 5-point lead, there is still room for mistakes, other games, there is no room for mistakes.

"The team has reached a bottleneck, can we rush through this time?" Pochettino was nervous, "Or give up the Copa del Rey?" Compete for this title next season? ”

Jiang Shan didn't speak, next season? When Pep Guardiola's team takes shape, they want to steal all the titles, will they give us a chance next season? Next season, Jiang Shan felt that if he could snatch a title in the crazy Barcelona run, it would be a huge success.

Copa del Rey winner? It's not enough!

Moreover, the hope of winning the Copa del Rey this season is greater than next season, Real Madrid and Barcelona will rise next season, and now they are in a state of chaos, and Jiang Shan also promised that the Copa del Rey next season will be arranged by Pochettino, if it can't be won this year, it will be even more difficult next year, and there is almost no hope.

'The league rotates, we face Racing Santander in the Copa del Rey and there is a lot of hope of qualifying.

In the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid has not yet met Barcelona and Valencia, and luckily, Racing Santander is much less difficult than these two teams. The teams in La Liga are strong and weak, and as long as the team is stable, they will definitely be able to advance.

In these league rounds, Atletico Madrid has struggled particularly and was forced to draw at home by Murcia, giving them valuable points on the road to relegation, and Atletico Madrid gave away two points in the two legs.

Then at home, Atletico Madrid fought Bolton Wanderers again, and neither team could score in the whole game.

Abbiati was outstanding, keeping a clean sheet from Nicolas Anelka and Diouf in quick succession. Atletico's attack was similarly hampered, with Bolton's Nolan and Matthew Taylor, combined with Joey O'Brien's lethal style of play, making it difficult for Atletico's forward group.

Unable to score, the two teams finally shook hands and made peace, and Jiangshan's team advanced to the round of 16 of the League Cup thrillingly with a record of 1:0 away and 0:0 at home.

In a dangerous competitive state, Jiangshan has palpitations. After the game, the reporter asked about winning the championship, and Jiang Shan said bluntly, "Our focus is on the league, and the first task is to maintain the position of the league leader." ”

"As for the UEFA Cup games, we will have a certain rotation. It's a very tough game, it's too early to talk about winning the title, and this year's UEFA Cup is a particularly strong opponent, Bayern have all come in. Our goal is definitely to win the title, but it takes a lot of luck to win it. ”

"Let's talk about winning the championship when we reach the quarterfinals!"

The opponent of the League Cup round of 16, Sporting Lisbon of the Portuguese Super League, is a tough nut to bite. Thankfully, Di Maria was able to play in the UEFA Cup, otherwise his team would have been one less change and more difficult.

In the next few league games, Atletico Madrid played particularly hard, constantly adjusting, drawing at home, and in the 25th round, Atletico Madrid faced Zaragoza away, lost, and the lead was only 2 points.

Thanks to Real Madrid also failed, otherwise Atletico Madrid's points would have been tied and there was still an advantage.

Of course, there is good news, Atletico Madrid challenged Sporting Lisbon away, winning 1-0 as usual, taking the lead in promotion, as long as they return to their home home unbeaten, they can reach the quarterfinals.

At that time, Jiangshan will look forward to the championship and make new strategic adjustments. The Copa del Rey drew away and almost lost to Racing Santander, with a score of 1:1, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Atletico have accumulated several key games in the next two weeks, the UEFA Cup and the Copa del Rey, which are sure to be thrilling, and in the next league game, Atletico will play at home to third-placed Barcelona.

They have reached the top three again, although Rijkaard's position is still unstable, but the players are strong, and it is still no problem to abuse vegetables.

Such a schedule is particularly painful for Atletico, and the slightest carelessness will have to be scrapped for the whole season.

'We're still a little bit away from Atletico but they're going to have to stay in the league and the Copa del Rey, so even if we're away from home, the advantage is still on our side.' Rijkaard is confident, "We're going to win the game and finish in the top two as soon as possible. ”

"Our goal is still to win La Liga."

Rijkaard is still blowing in the manager's position, and he can still blow. Real Madrid's head coach Schuster has already stepped down, and after Real Madrid was killed in the round of 16 of the Champions League, he immediately fired the head coach, and the action was very fast, even though Real Madrid was still second in the league, but he still fired the head coach, hard.

Jiang Shan was speechless about Rijkaard's statement, what did these people think? is obviously a chaser, and he still has the posture of a superior, the two of La Liga have become accustomed to it, haven't they encountered a spoiler yet?

Super Laco and Valencia won the league championship under the encirclement of Barcelona and Real Madrid, but the follow-up was weak and unsustainable.

Jiang Shan didn't bother to pay attention to Rijkaard's statement, he just attracted attention, and in this game, Jiang Shan readjusted the lineup.

The back line remains the same, the midfield is more and thicker, Garcia, Khedira, Vidal and Gabi play, plus Aguero, the forward line, only Torres is left alone.

With the posture of counterattacking, what can Barcelona do with us?

After the start of the game, Atletico Madrid showed good form, and the counter-attack in the front and back was particularly fierce, Xiaobai and Xavi could not easily control the ball, and the frontcourt players were also difficult to advance.

Yaya Toure came up and was immediately surrounded by two people, after losing the ball, he was not fast back to the defense, Atletico Madrid's counterattack power suddenly rose, and Aguero rushed faster than Torres.

Torres put in an excellent performance, receiving a pass from Sergio Aguero and firing a low shot into the scoring. In the opening 10 minutes, Atletico immediately took the lead.

Jiang Shan hasn't stood up from the coach's seat yet! The team is already ahead.

"Great, Jiangshan, we're ahead." Pochettino celebrated like a manager, "It turns out that during this period of rotation, you have ensured the fitness of this group of players, amazing, amazing. ”

Jiang Shan glanced at him, "Keep a low profile, it's just a game." There's no need to get too excited. ”
