(One update today, tomorrow to make up)

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Costa had an irrepressible smile on his face, and Costa had enough reason to be happy, because in this game, he was the focus of attention, and his performance finally overpowered Lin Dong.

4:0, this is the score after the game, starting with Costa's goal in the second half, Atletico Madrid scored four goals in 40 minutes, Costa scored twice, and a penalty was not scored.

Fifteen minutes after Lin Dong scored the second goal, Costa created a penalty by himself, although he had missed a penalty before, but Costa still took the ball to the penalty spot, and at this moment Lin Dong finally knew that Costa's mentality was much tougher than he imagined.

In one fell swoop, Costa's decisiveness helped Atletico Madrid score the third goal, and also completely locked the outcome of the game, although the Valencia coach changed three people in a row, but still failed to change the situation on the field, but was seized by Atletico Madrid again, played a wave of counterattacks, substitute Raul Garcia set the score at 4:0.

Costa was the man of the match, holding his nerve in the face of missing a penalty to help Atletico break the deadlock before creating a penalty to prove himself.

Although the missed penalty cost Costa a chance to score a hat-trick, Costa was indeed Atletico's best player of the game.

As for Lin Dong, in the eyes of outsiders, he is as stable as ever, but Lin Dong knows that his performance in this game is actually very average, and his mentality is wrong.

Atletico Madrid's schedule has been quite easy lately, with the main players even getting plenty of rest, and the main players will have the opportunity to rest in the future.

After this round of league games, Atletico only need to play two games before the winter break, a Copa del Rey and it is certain that this Copa del Rey will still be a substitute, and then the 17th round of the league.

Atletico Madrid's 17th round of league opponents are not strong, and with the main players fully rested, there should be no surprises, followed by a two-week winter break.

The rest of the main players during this period is crucial for the second half of the season, and Atletico Madrid's main team is fixed and there is little rotation, which is a great test of the players' fitness, and Atletico's collapse last season was due to this.

Simeone generously gave the players two days off, which Lin Dong refused, but fortunately Carl appeared at this time, and there were strangers who appeared with Carl.

"This is Mr. Splunk, Nike's chief operating officer," Carl introduced Lin Dong.

"Hello~~~ Mr. Sprunk" heard that it was Nike's person, Lin was not surprised, because he knew very well that his negotiations with Nike had come to an end, and a consensus had basically been reached.

Nike and Adidas are the two giants in the sports brand industry, and their peers are enemies, which makes a lot of sense.

Adidas's top card is Messi, Nike's top card is Ronaldo, but with Lin Dong joining, Nike will definitely reshuffle the cards, indeed, Lin Dong's current reputation is not as good as Ronaldo, but Lin Dong's commercial value is far more than Ronaldo.

Behind Ronaldo is Portugal, which can only be regarded as a small European country, but what about Lin Dong? Behind him stands the third largest country in the world, the largest country in terms of population, and its potential is huge, not to mention Ronaldo, even if he ties Messi, he can't compare with Lin Dong.

This is also the reason why Lin Dong has not signed a sports contract until now, Lin Dong knows very well that he is not willing to sign his potential, let alone a few million, even tens of millions of dollars.

"Mr. Lin~~~ It's a pleasure to meet you" Splunk came this time for the issue of Lin Dong's contract.

According to the dispute between the two parties, Nike fully funded the establishment of Lin Dong's personal brand, of which Lin Dong himself held 51% of the shares.

Sprunk spoke very carefully, Lin Dong listened very seriously, and Carl added on the side, as the leader of Lin Dong's team, Carl participated in the whole process.

"It's a pleasure to work with Nike," Lin Dong held out his hand.

It was after talking about Lin Dong that he naturally wanted to do his best to be a landlord, and the three of them went out for a meal together at noon in the evening, and celebrated with their team in the evening.

The first day of the holiday was spent in this situation, and Lin Dong was not idle on the second day, because Carl came over again and took Lin Dong to Spain's National Six.

Lopez and Martinez appeared together to interview Lin Dong, and Lin Dong complained in his heart, although these two goods said that they were fans of Lin Dong, and they were full of passion to see the two of them lifting each other's bars and demolishing the stage.

But this is too far from Lin Dong's fantasy, you must know that the Spanish female anchor is famous, the standard for German players is models, and the standard for Spanish players is female anchors.

Although Lin Dong has little interest in European and American women, compared with two typical European and American middle-aged bald men, Lin Dong is still more willing to contact with glamorous female anchors.

After the two-day vacation, Lin Dong put all his energy into training, at present, Lin Dong's attributes have been full except for dribbling, which refers to the attributes of first-class players, and dribbling has also entered the ranks of first-class players, but it is estimated that it will be a long process to be full like other attributes.

And now the system not only reduces the tasks, but also the previous card rewards are not appearing, except for those few useless cards, Lin Dong's current performance is his real level.

Every time I think of this, Lin Dong is actually very proud in his heart, after all, he has only taken a few years from not being in the stream to being a first-class center forward in today's football.

Pride is pride, Lin Dong will definitely not run to the little Lori because of this, the past few years of getting along, they are too familiar with each other, if Lin Dong really goes, he will definitely be scolded by the little Lori.

Although the training is boring, it can make Lin Dong stop thinking nonsense, and time is slowly lost in this situation, and the second game of the Copa del Rey is also coming as scheduled.

With the previous 4:0 base, Simeone was more bold in the arrangement of players in this game, not to mention the bench for the main players, even if the 18 squads were not entered.

Except for the substitutes, the young players were brought in from the second team, but even so, the result of the game did not change, although it was not as big as the first time, but still won 2:1, and the aggregate score was 6:1 to enter the next round.

Atletico Madrid's luck in the next round of the draw is very good, the opponent is not strong, it is a second division team, you know, in the round of 16 knockout round, there are only two teams left in the lower league.
