Entering December, the winter break is imminent.

The task of the game is still unabated, the Copa del Rey game is fine, the La Liga team will not participate until next year, the front is all rookies pecking each other, and the La Liga team will only fight after they join.

The League Cup secured the top spot in the group stage, and Jiang Shan put the team into rotation mode early, constantly training newcomers and waiting for the upcoming round of 32.

The third-placed team in the Champions League group stage will qualify for the UEFA Cup and become contenders for the UEFA Cup. Starting next season, the UEFA Cup will also be changed to the Europa League, with various reshuffles.

In the future, the Europa League championship and the Champions League through train will become the object of competition for many teams.

In the league, Atletico Madrid's players adjusted their mentality, and the team's run-in finally got on the right track, and the team did not feel nervous at all against Getafe, who finished third in the league.

Playing at home, they were firmly in control of the game. Torres began to know how to signal his team-mates to run, and he became more and more comfortable with Khedira and Garcia, and the goal came naturally.

Atletico Madrid chopped melons and vegetables at home, and scored three goals in a row, and Getafe returned with hatred.

Barcelona has been in poor form recently, and after losing to Atletico Madrid, they have suffered three defeats in a row, and their league ranking has fallen to fifth place, a crazy ranking.

Rijkaard could not stop the team's downward spiral and the position was in jeopardy. The team is looking for a new manager, and Pep Guardiola continues to recommend himself to the hierarchy.

"Only I can stop the hegemony of the country. I want to be the manager of Barcelona. 'Pep Guardiola is full of confidence.

He believes that as the first assistant of the country, he has learned a lot of skills, and he will definitely be able to control the giants of Barcelona, and he can also build Barcelona into an unsinkable aircraft carrier.

The Barcelona hierarchy have been slow to decide, and they intend to give Rijkaard another chance. The team was already tossed up enough, and after replacing Ancelotti, he couldn't get up, so he didn't feel at ease as the coach who entered the palace in the second place.

The league continued, and Atletico Madrid won at Huelva's home stadium again, a narrow 2-1 victory, which put them at the top of the standings again, surpassing Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's first defeat of the season was against Atletico Madrid, and since then they have been on a run without a defeat and have been in the top three of the league all the time. But this week, they lost another game, that is, to Osasuna, and finally sat at the top of the table, and was snatched by their rivals in the same city.

However, Schuster's position is still solid, the team also successfully qualified for the Champions League group stage, reached the round of 16, Real Madrid president Calderon still has confidence in Schuster and will tolerate his mistakes.

The moment of the La Liga title race has actually just begun.

Before the winter break, the teams that qualified for the League Cup were determined, and the teams that were eliminated in the Champions League group stage were also determined.

"Isn't it conventional? Bayern didn't go to grab the Champions League, but came to grab the League Cup, is this not going to get along with me? ”

Jiang Shan attended the draw ceremony. The draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, he doesn't care, let alone care, this year's Champions League champion, he is optimistic about Manchester United, in the last life, Manchester United was the champion.

With Alex Ferguson's watch, Manchester United have reached their peak and it's time to produce results. If it hadn't been for the previous two years, Ferguson might have even won the Champions League three times in a row.

It's a pity that Jiangshan won two consecutive Champions League titles, and Manchester United didn't have a single title.

"If we win the UEFA Cup, maybe we'll see you in the Super Cup." Jiang Shan smiled and chatted with Ferguson, "But this season, Chelsea are very strong, you have to beat them, you have to have a little luck." ”

"I know that we are strong and we are not afraid of any team. It's just a shame I didn't get to play you again in the Champions League. I don't really value the UEFA Super Cup, it's just a warm-up game, it's not useful. Ferguson touched his nose and said insincerely.

"Our strength is not as good as yours, and you will definitely have an advantage in this year's strength comparison." Jiang Shan told the truth, "But Bayern disappointed me and fell into the League Cup, haha......"

The draw ceremony for the top 32 of the League Cup, Jiang Shan took the stage to draw lots.

Luck was average, and I drew a team in the Premier League.

Standard Premier League style, Bolton Wanderers.

Bolton have been a tough player in recent years, hovering in the upper middle of the Premier League, and played well last season, finishing in the top six, qualifying for the UEFA Cup and successfully qualifying from the group stage.

'Bolton have a fierce style and are the nemesis of a team like Arsenal. Ferguson reminded Jiang Shan, "La Liga teams like to control the ball, but against teams with strong physical confrontation, be careful. ”

Jiang Shan squinted and nodded, he had an impression of Bolton, to be honest, every team that qualified, Jiang Shan had studied, and Bolton was one of the opponents he didn't want to meet.

He would rather meet Bayern than Bolton, the technical level is one thing, Jiang Shan is mainly worried about the injury of the player, "These two rounds, it is not easy to play at all." ”

Atletico have one more league game to play before the winter break.

At home to Espanyol, they are well prepared and need three points to secure their position at the top of the table. In the second half of the season, they will need to have room for mistakes in the league as they sprint in the UEFA Cup and the Copa del Rey.

Jiangshan discharged the strongest lineup, and it was an onslaught at the beginning.

The Spaniards didn't expect Jiangshan's team to be so domineering and unreasonable in attack, which made it difficult for them to bear.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Alexis Sanchez's cross was met by Torres' header, which slammed into the crossbar and into the net.

Espanyol's Cameroonian goalkeeper Kameni didn't have time to react and had to obediently pick the ball out of the net.

"Is Atletico crazy? The UEFA Cup draw isn't bad, but are we playing as if we were Bolton? Kameni shook his head, feeling a bad feeling in his heart, "I'm going to be busy in this game. ”

Espanyol coach Valverde's face was ugly, "Jiang Shan wanted to swallow us in one bite and let them score first, I will be sad today." ”

This season, Espanyol have retained three key players of De La Pena, Luis Garcia and Tamudo, and have also brought in strong players such as Soldado, who originally wanted to compete for a place in the UEFA Cup, and now sit sixth in the league, and do have the ability to compete for a European place.

But Atletico gave them a hard slap in the face at the start. Let's relegate you guys!

Atletico's attack continued, and after Torres scored, he began to learn to thread the needle, and before half-time, Atletico scored again, and central defender Mertesacker headed in a header to extend the score again.

In the second half, Royce, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal, and the young and handsome guy began to shine at the Calderón Stadium.
