Two days later, Atletico Madrid's Copa del Rey final opponent was decided.

There is no suspense, Barcelona eliminated Sevilla in the other match, and the final will be a head-to-head PK between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

For the rest of the team, the league season is over, and the last opponent is mid-table side Eibar, and Atletico Madrid will not have a problem at home to win them. Simeone was also very satisfied with everyone's performance this season, and joked with everyone during training: "There is only one game left and you can make a name in the history of La Liga." The first unbeaten La Liga team in 90 years will be set by you. So in the next game, you're not fighting for me, not for the team, but for yourselves. A final win rounded out the record. ”

In fact, Simeone doesn't need to say much at all, everyone knows that there will be a medal ceremony after this game, and no one wants to be smashed by their opponents on this carnival night.

If you can strive for a perfect ending, why should you have regrets?

And for Wen Zhihao, in the last game, he still wants to hit a small target.

It all started with the post-match interview in the Copa del Rey semi-final two days ago.

CCTV reporter asked him a question when interviewing Wen Zhihao: "La Liga's single-season assist record is 20 times set by Barcelona legend Xavi in the 2008-09 season, and in the first 37 rounds, you have already had 17 assists, Eibar's strength is not strong, do you have the confidence to score an assist hat trick and tie Xavi's record?" ”

Wen Zhihao was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "On the premise of ensuring the team's victory, I am still very interested in challenging it." ”

After all, he is a young man who is less than twenty years old, and it is impossible for a normal person to make him completely selfish, let alone a competitive age in his teens and twenties.

Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be on an equal footing with a legendary footballer?

On the day of the game, Wen Zhihao found Simeone and asked tentatively; "Boss, discuss something, as long as I don't get injured in the night game, can you not replace me in advance?"

Simeone's face remained unchanged, but he stared at Wen Zhihao, obviously wondering why.

Wen Zhihao said it briefly.

Simeone thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but if there is a situation where you have to get off the field, you have to cooperate!" ”

"That's for sure, I know how to measure." Wen Zhihao nodded.

……

In the final game, the Metropolitano Stadium was almost full, and most of the fans actually came for the award ceremony after the game, to see the team return to the top, and only such a reason can have sufficient appeal.

In the players' tunnel, everyone could see that the championship trophy was placed in the center of the field, and the Atletico players were all gearing up and showing excited expressions.

More than half of the players in this team have won the title last time, but no one will complain that there are too many trophies, including Antoine Griezmann's expression, which is both excited and satisfied.

When Wen Zhihao walked on the court, he deliberately touched the championship trophy, He Wei was also in a good mood, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but joke: "Haha!" This reminds me of a spell about the championship, and whoever touches the championship trophy in advance will miss the championship. The curse became well-known to fans because of Zinedine Zidane's touch in the 2006 World Cup final, and Wen Zhihao's move was a negation. But that's what he loves to do the most. After this season, when everyone mentions La Liga, they won't only talk about Real Madrid and Barcelona, and they shouldn't just focus on Messi and Ronaldo, right? Wen Zhihao's involvement has upended the traditional landscape of La Liga, and he has not lost a single game in direct dialogue with Real Madrid and Barcelona, which was not won in the previous 2013-14 season. He's the key game-changer. ”

"It can be said that from the beginning of this season, La Liga has really formed a three-man situation!" Xu Yang added.

Simeone gave a chance to play in the final game for some of the players who had played less. Augusto Fernandez replaced Gabi and Vrsalico rotated at left wing-back. The Serbia international was also an important alternative to the squad last season, having made just two appearances in the Copa del Rey since entering 2018. There is basically no presence. There has been news that a number of mid-table teams in La Liga and the Bundesliga are interested in bringing him in the summer window, along with Carrasco and Atletico Madrid's backup goalkeeper Moya.

Like Vrsallico, there is basically no place for them in Simeone's new system. Carrasco also has the title of Belgian international, so naturally he has no trouble finding a good home. As for Moya, because of his age, he doesn't want to waste time on the bench, so he wants to find a team that can play games to play and enjoy his career.

Getting back to the point, considering that the outcome of this game is of little practical significance, Atletico Madrid's opening stage is mainly to control the scene, and Wen Zhihao's running speed is not too fast, mainly to pass the ball to his teammates. Whether it is from the perspective of the overall situation of the team or the needs of individuals to brush assists, this way of playing is understandable. And Wen Zhihao has many passes, which can bring the rhythm of the whole team. After all, some players don't play much in a season, and they need someone on the field to help them create opportunities to get the ball and get in shape.

Wen Zhihao still controlled the rhythm very steadily on the court, and he was relaxed. Our players are not in the attacking position and do not pass the ball easily. Simeone nodded frequently from the sidelines, showing a satisfied expression.

He is not worried that Wen Zhihao is putting his personal goals above the overall interests of the team, and Wen Zhihao is not such a lone wolf character. But he worries that Wen Zhihao will not be in a hurry because of this, so as to bring the whole offensive and defensive rhythm quickly, which can easily allow the opponent to seize the counterattack opportunity. But after only ten minutes of watching, Simeone dispelled such concerns. The only thing he was looking forward to for the rest of the game was the question of how many goals he scored. At the same time, he is also guessing whether Wen Zhihao can deliver three assists to tie the record held by Xavi.

Eibar was still working the defensive end with an iron bucket, and Wen Zhihao's first assist was not until the 54th minute of the second half.

Eighteenth assist!

Atletico scored the first goal, which somewhat hit the morale of Eibar's players. Just seven minutes later, Atletico extended their advantage. Wen Zhihause's pass to Costa changed line after it touched a defender, but it still fell to Costa's feet and sealed the win with a one-shot shot.

However, this goal cannot be counted as an assist by Wen Zhihao.

The score was finally fixed at 2:0, and Wen Zhihao's personal league assist tally this season stayed at eighteen.

"Congratulations to Atletico for making history! Becoming the first undefeated team in La Liga since its official establishment in 1928, we would like to congratulate Wen Zhihao on winning the La Liga assist king with a lead of eight assists, which is enough to surpass any Asian player's personal honor, a historic milestone for Chinese overseas players! ”

Wen Zhihao squatted on the court, excited and with a hint of regret. The team's history is to be celebrated, but the goal of equalling Xavi's record can only be achieved next season.
