Atletico Madrid's opponent in this round of the league is Mallorca, who have never been a strong team in La Liga, and their results this season are also mediocre, ranking in the bottom row, but there is no danger of relegation for the time being.

It is not an exaggeration to describe them as desireless and desireless. The main task of such a small club every season is to try to stay in the top flight, and if this task is completed early, or if it is very likely to be completed, to be honest, the rest of the games will not mean much to them - no matter how hard they try, it will be difficult for them to make it to Europe.

If you just compare the strength and standings of the two teams, Atletico Madrid is definitely better than Mallorca in an all-round way, but the example of Barcelona's gutter capsizing happened yesterday, and Atletico Madrid did not dare to be careless at all. Moreover, the reason why Mallorca are not in danger of relegation this season is because they have a very good record at home. There are two teams unbeaten at home this season, one is Atletico Madrid and the other is Mallorca, although they have drawn a lot, but the winning rate is also very high, for a relegation team, a good home game, that is, the road to relegation is insured.

Although the opponent is not strong overall, it is predictable that it will also be an extremely difficult match.

Sure enough, in the game of the day, Atletico Madrid encountered a strong block from Mallorca.

I don't know if it was the unbeaten record at home that gave Mallorca confidence, or the Spaniards' upset defeat to Barcelona gave them motivation, after the game started, Mallorca was like playing hormones, and did not put themselves in the position of the weak team at all, on the contrary, they almost all went out, raised the line very forward, and put on a strong offensive posture.

This was indeed very unexpected by Atletico Madrid, who was caught off guard by their opponents. In their minds, whether it is in terms of overall strength or the individual ability of the players, or the ranking in the standings, Atletico Madrid can be described as crushing the opponent, and the opponent has carefully guarded them, strictly defending, rather than crazy and desperate attacks.

It's not that Atletico Madrid looks down on Mallorca, but in today's La Liga, most teams are facing Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and the tactics they usually choose to play. It may not be possible to defend it strictly, but at least it is more secure than playing against these three teams, the offensive ability of these three teams does not need to be repeated, and those who dare to fight against them are basically dead and scum.

But Mallorca not only did the opposite, but more importantly, they played very well, they almost completely copied Atletico Madrid's tactics, running all over the field, running all over the field, grabbing the ball, and attacking on the spot, which is really a bit of a continuous meaning.

La Liga teams, no matter how bad they are, have good foot skills, so Atletico Madrid, who was very uncomfortable for a while, was forced to retreat layer by layer, Mallorca occupied the initiative on the field, and constantly put pressure on Atletico Madrid in the half.

It has been said before that Atletico Madrid's tactical style of play is actually not surprising, that is, crazy running and rushing, but this requires extremely abundant physical strength to back it up. Otherwise, the first half will be exhausted, and the second half of the game will have to be disarmed and surrendered.

So although Mallorca grabbed fiercely, Atletico Madrid was not in a hurry, as long as they survived the madness of the opponent at the beginning, and after their physical strength declined, they could take over the game.

Mallorca actually know this, they are not Atletico Madrid, nor are they the group of crazy people in the Atletico team, but they also don't want to lose at their home stadium, so they chose this kind of fighting style of play - this is a gamble, it doesn't matter if you lose, there is no shame in losing to Atletico Madrid anyway, and if you win the bet, they will try their best to save the victory by desperately trying to score a goal in the first half.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, Mallorca, who have been relegated all year round, pressed Atletico Madrid to almost no attack, and their offensive was like a tide of continuous erosion of Atletico Madrid's half, in these 20 minutes, long shots, breakthroughs, and crosses from the side...... Mallorca played all sorts of attacking moves, and they had 15 shots on goal - although half of the stats were swiped, so many shots on goal showed how crazy Mallorca's attack was.

Thankfully, Atletico defended well, and Mallorca's forward quality was limited, with only three of his 15 shots hitting the woodwork, and Courtois was able to snuff out the danger with the help of defenders.

Twenty minutes later, Mallorca's physical energy was exhausted a lot, although they were still attacking actively, but the intensity was much less than before, which also gave Atletico a chance to breathe, and the counterattack followed.

In the 23rd minute, Atletico had their second shot of the game - meaning that in the first 20 minutes, Atletico had only one shot on goal. The first shot on goal was Diego. Costa completed it, he received a long pass from Qin Shou, and shot directly with his feet without stopping the ball, but under the interference of the opponent, he put an anti-aircraft gun.

This time it was still Costa who completed the shot, Qin Shou broke through the middle and split the ball, Vazquez crossed from the right side, Costa pressed the opponent's central defender, shook his head to attack the goal, and forced the opponent's goalkeeper to make a wonderful save, only to save the football from the bottom line.

The following corner kick was cleared by Mallorca's central defender, and Atletico failed to continue the attack.

From this time on goal, the two sides began to attack each other back and forth on the field. Mallorca naturally wanted to continue to suppress their opponents with attacks, but their physical strength declined, and Atletico Madrid was already familiar with their routines, so they gradually began to counterattack.

This is the limitation of the weak team, maybe they can play a good game at a certain time, and they can also have a certain upper hand, but as time goes by, if the lead is not determined, then their overall weakness will gradually be exposed, and after the strong team has strong stamina, they can only be suppressed back.

During the period from 20 minutes to 35 minutes, the two sides fought against each other on the field, and Atletico gradually regained the disadvantage, and under Qin Shou's scheduling, they slowly snatched the initiative in the midfield.

Atletico also created a number of scoring chances during that time, with the closest to scoring coming in the 33rd minute with a shot from Carrasco. He received a pass from Cork at the edge of the penalty area and hit the post with a powerful shot, shocking the home fans into a cold sweat.

At this point in the game, Mallorca's calculation can be said to have failed, and their strategy of using onslaught to catch the opponent off guard at the beginning, quickly establish the lead and then retreat with all hands failed.

However, the draw was also within their acceptable range, so seeing that the attack was no longer possible, Mallorca retracted decisively at the signal of the manager on the sidelines and began to set up the bus.

This approach makes the Atletico Madrid players extremely speechless, this Mallorca is really out of common sense, you think he will defend strictly, but people want to play attack; Just when you think they're going to continue to storm hard, they end up setting up a bus with you very decisively.

For this kind of "rogue team", Atletico Madrid has no good way, so they can only choose to patiently carry out positional battles and deal with the opponent.

In the rest of the first half, Atletico Madrid almost stormed around the opponent's goal, the home team's goal was like a boat floating in the ocean, although it swayed back and forth, but their persistence was still in exchange for the harvest, although Atletico Madrid attacked fiercely, but under the opponent's iron bucket formation, in the end it still failed to score, and the two teams played 0:0 in the first half, temporarily drawn.

The second half was almost a replica of the second half of the first half, and Mallorca knew that they couldn't play Atletico Madrid in attack, so they continued to put the bus very simply.

Both teams played back and forth for most of the first half, and although there were no goals, it was a good thing. But the second half was a typical dull and boring one, with Atletico attacking and Mallorca defending, with both teams staging offensive and defensive drills in the home team's half.

And this dull and tedious deadlock was not broken until the eighty-first minute. A sudden cold shot in front of the Costa penalty area caused the opponent's goalkeeper to save the ball, and Qin Shou cleverly rushed to the ground before the opponent's defender cleared the ball, and shoveled the football into the empty goal.

0:1,, Atletico Madrid took the lead with difficulty, and this goal completely relieved the more than 3,000 Atletico Madrid fans who came with the team.

"Goal! Scored! We scored! ”

"The half-marathon championship is ours!"

"It's amazing that we were at the top of the table for the first time this season and we were halfway through the league!

The visiting fans were cheering while the game continued.

After Mallorca lost the ball, the breath she was carrying was completely discharged, and she could no longer resist Atletico Madrid's crazy attack.

In the 89th minute, Costa also scored. He received a cross from Turan, who had replaced Coke in the box, and leaped high to smash the ball into the back of the net.

2:0！

But that wasn't the end of it, in stoppage time, Vazquez's resolute inward breakthrough opened up again with his own aura, Vazquez was tripped by the opposing defender, and Atletico Madrid won a penalty.

Qin Shou took the penalty, and it was done overnight, 3:0!

The final score of the game was 3:0, and if you only look at the score, you would think that Atletico Madrid won easily. But fans who have watched the process of this game will know that the process of winning this game is really extremely difficult.

But in any case, Atletico won the game and finished overtaking Barcelona in the standings. They managed to climb to the top of the league table and became the halfway winners of La Liga this season.

"Win! We won! ”

"We are half-way winners! We ended the season with a win! ”

"Oh oh, now I'm full of blood, I feel that my whole body has inexhaustible strength, ha, we will continue to move forward bravely, towards the league championship, high speed!"

At the moment of the final whistle of the match, the Atletico players kicked the football into the sky, ignoring the feelings of the Mallorca fans, and celebrated loudly and shouted loudly on the field.

And more than 3,000 away fans cheered in the same way.

The half-marathon championship is not equal to the final bacillus, but at this moment, this joy still makes everyone feel happy and satisfied.
