An unbeaten league season may sound like a difficult record to achieve, but in the history of the top five leagues, there really are three teams that have done it.

The most familiar example for fans is Arsenal in the 2003-04 season, but there have been teams before and since.

The earliest record belonged to AC Milan in 1991/92, when the Rossoneri not only won the title undefeated, but also set a staggering 58-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Until the 24th round of the 1992-1993 season, they were defeated 1-0 by Parma.

The most recent unbeaten team to win the title was Serie A champions Juventus in 2011-12, who won the league title unbeaten in 38 games and conceded 19 goals, the fewest since Serie A expanded to 20 teams.

From this point of view, the Premier League and Serie A have teams that are unbeaten in the season to win the title, and if you do not consider the relatively monopolistic Bundesliga and the weaker influence of Ligue 1, only La Liga is still blank in this record among the five major leagues.

If Atletico can win the title this season with such a performance, it will be far more powerful than any previous La Liga title. Because Atletico Madrid essentially faces Real Madrid and Barcelona is a weak victory over the strong, the story of the dark horse's counterattack is often everyone's favorite.

With fewer fixtures remaining in the league schedule, Madrid's media are hoping that Atletico can maintain their hot form and turn such a scenario into a reality.

There is no shortage of well-known media personalities who have already begun to build momentum for Atletico Madrid to win the title. Due to the difference in the performance of the Madrid duo this year, Atletico Madrid has indeed successfully pulled some of the original Real Madrid fans over, and their status in the city has also begun to change from a foil to a protagonist.

It was against this backdrop that the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals arrived at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium a week later.

Atletico's performance in the Champions League is even stronger than the league, from the first round of the group stage to now, Atletico Madrid has not even drawn a game, and has won nine consecutive victories. It's so strong that I don't have friends.

It is based on this performance that Atletico fans hope that the team will keep the league momentum going until the Champions League and try to take the final step this year.

As the team itself, Simeone knew that it would definitely fight against the odds, and the situation was even more dangerous than the first leg. The one-goal advantage is often the most vulnerable, and if you don't pay attention, the game will be out of Atletico's control.

Therefore, Simeone's response strategy for the second leg is to be stable, and the longer the clean sheet against the opponent, the more obvious the advantage of his own position at the right time and place.

Simeone was actually inspired by Wen Zhihao, who originally thought that he should be proactive at home, and it would not look good even if he took the initiative to retreat.

Wen Zhihao knows Simeone, he not only wants to win, but also tries to win beautifully.

But Wen Zhihao also suggested: "Boss, I don't think it's necessary to take such risks, we have an old Chinese saying that one drum is vigorous, then it declines, and three times it is exhausted." This means that the two sides face each other, and one side will take the initiative to attack with great momentum at the beginning, but as long as the first attack does not achieve results, morale will fall, and the opponent will be given an opportunity to take advantage of. I think that's the way it is right now at Manchester United. ”

In this team, only Wen Zhihao can discuss the game strategy with Simeone as a player. One is because he has played a significant role in the team's offensive end, and the other is that Simeone has tried to take Wen Zhihao's advice on several occasions, and the effect is really right. Simeone began to believe that Wen Zhihao's advice was indeed helpful to the team, rather than questioning the coaching staff like some of the team's big names and fighting against himself in order to escape the devil's training.

……

Manchester United are well prepared and menacing for the away game, and apart from the pre-match press conference, the rest of the time is strictly guarded, and reporters have not been able to find the slightest news about the away team.

Everyone is waiting for Mourinho to make another big move.

As soon as the pre-match starters were released, from the formation to the personnel, Mourinho came to a big change.

The Reds switched to a 4-4-2 formation in the first leg of the 4-2-3-1 formation, with striker Romelu Lukaku, who played the full game last time, replaced by two speedy players, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.

Garcia made a vivid analogy: "Mourinho replaced the heavy tank with a machine gun, and although the destruction of the defensive line was reduced, the ability to sustain the attack was increased. Godin's area behind him is going to be careful tonight. Speed is not his strength. ”

He Wei focused on Manchester United's starting midfield, which is the opponent Wen Zhihao will face directly, and it is also the key to victory or defeat.

"Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Marouane Fellaini and Ashley Young, even the wing-backs on both sides are muscular tough guys, and it seems that Wen Zhihao is really pushing Mourinho into a hurry. Although we can't hear Zhihao here, I still want to remind you that it doesn't matter if Zhihao doesn't shine in this game, even if you win or lose, it's second, don't get hurt, that's the first! ”

Xu Yang nodded heavily: "He Wei talked about the most important point, we dare not guarantee that the opponent will have retaliatory actions, we must learn to protect ourselves, Wen Zhihao not only can't afford to hurt Atletico Madrid, but the Chinese team can't bear it." The World Cup is only two months away. ”

……

"Phew! Crow's mouth, can't you hope that my son is well? ”

Wen Zhihao's father stomped his feet and scolded on the surface, but unconsciously took a hard puff of cigarette.

At the same time, the scene of the game.

Neither the players nor the referees were in attendance, and the atmosphere at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium had reached its climax. As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of red. The Red Devils fans also wore traditional red jerseys, which almost integrated with Atletico's home stadium. Before the start of the game, the only basis for determining home advantage was the clear advantage of the number of Atletico flags in the stands.

In the players' tunnel, Wen Zhihao felt that when the opposing player glanced at him, he was obviously angry.

Griezmann also found out, turned his head and reminded Wen Zhihao: "Be careful, I feel that their eyes are ill-intentioned." ”

Wen Zhihao smiled: "I personally let them plant it three times, and it is normal for them to look at me like an enemy." Can you show kindness to Ronaldo and Ramos? ”

Griezmann admitted no, but Wen didn't understand what he was really saying.

In terms of the types of players he has seen, and even the human sophistication he has experienced, he is much richer than Wen Zhihao, and he can feel that the signals in the eyes of Manchester United players are not all the fighting spirit released by the kind of confrontation that the opponent should have on the field.

At this time, the referee team began to lead the players in, and Griezmann quickly said: "Pay more attention to their foot movements, I don't know if they want to target you deliberately." ”

PS: On this topic, a couple of digressions.

I feel that our U23 national football team was targeted yesterday, and it was so black that it had a fight with the 02 World Cup stick. And you can be bullied at your own doorstep. I just want to ask, why are we always the ones who suffer?
