Simeone's single-headed is not without reason.

In fact, successive victories can indeed bring the team's morale to the peak, and at the same time, it will also increase the self-confidence of the players, and with this sufficient self-confidence, the team will show positive momentum in the game.

But there are two sides to everything, and self-confidence is like a double-edged sword, and when the game is smooth, the players may become more and more courageous, and even play high scores and beat their opponents. And when the game is not smooth, the players will be irrepressibly burdened with the psychological burden of consecutive wins, constantly suffering from gains and losses, so that they will eventually lose the initiative in the game.

Of course, if losing the game can turn the player's mentality back to normal, then the defeat can be considered a good thing. But if you don't change your mentality, you may have a lot of negative emotions that will affect the player's thinking and performance on the pitch, and then go on to lose. And the more you lose, the more confidence you lose, until the team collapses.

There are many precedents for this in modern football. In the Premier League, Leeds United led the table for most of the season, but was finally overturned by Ferguson's Manchester United in the final round of the league; In Beckham's final season at Real Madrid, Barcelona led Real Madrid by nine points in the final seven rounds, but were suppressed by Jose Mourinho's side...... These teams are all due to excessive pressure and loss of confidence after consecutive defeats, which eventually led to the collapse.

Although Atletico Madrid's momentum is currently in full swing, and the players, including the fans, are at the peak of their confidence, Simeone, as the commander of the first team, has to take precautions, and he does not want the team to collapse one day.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Simeone had expected it, but what he didn't expect was how quickly the team would change. So quickly.

On October 24, Atletico Madrid welcomed Mallorca at home.

Before the start of the game, Calderón Stadium was as hot as ever. Countless fans who couldn't buy tickets gathered in the square outside the stadium, where they could watch the live broadcast of the game on a large electronic screen on the spot.

Atletico Madrid's winning streak has fans excited and excited, and they are eager to see for themselves how many games the team can win in a row. How far can you refresh your streak of wins.

Before the game, many Atletico Madrid players were interviewed by media reporters, and they all confidently stated that their goal is to win, that is, to continue to push the pace of victory forward.

Even Qin Shou accepted a question from Duan Xuan, who had been following him before the game, and facing the camera, Qin Shou said that he and his teammates were impatient to welcome victory again.

As mentioned earlier, the charm of football lies in its unpredictability, even if the two teams are very different in strength. Until the last minute of the game, I don't know where the winner will be.

Ahead of the game, Atletico Madrid had expressed a strong desire to win, and they also felt that a home win against Mallorca was a matter of course for them given the quality of the two teams.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, neither team was able to score and the game ended 0-0.

in this game. Atletico Madrid started the game positively and they wanted to establish the lead as quickly as possible. They then crush their opponents with quick offense, which they do best.

However, it is clear that Mallorca's manager did his homework before the game, and from the very beginning of the game, Mallorca put on a stubborn posture, and no matter how fierce and furious Atletico's attack was, they firmly defended their midfield and backfield. Refusing to take a step back.

Atletico's fast attack did not pay off, and they had to turn to positional warfare. However, Mallorca fought fiercely, and the players were also united, giving up the attack at all and sticking to it.

On the scene. Atletico quickly gained the absolute upper hand. But in the face of Mallorca's bucket formation, they also lacked the ability to score.

Simeone, on the other hand, began to deploy his squad after 70 minutes of the game, bringing on attacking players such as Adrian and Koke in succession, hoping that the team could break the deadlock in the final minute.

In the end, Simeone's goal could not break Mallorca's iron bucket formation, and they attacked for 90 minutes, and their opponents held on for 90 minutes. No matter how beautiful and ferocious their attack is, it is still in vain if they don't score.

Although they were very unwilling and depressed, the Atletico Madrid players had no choice but to accept the result of the draw.

The home fans booed Mallorca for 90 minutes, but the result could not be changed, and after this game, Real Madrid, who won this round, have tied the league points and are currently in second place in the table on goal difference.

It can be said that the two teams in Madrid are already on the same starting line - because the rules of La Liga are that if there are two teams with the same number of points in the final round, it is not based on the advantage of goal difference, but on the win-loss field between the two teams, and if they are each one win and one loss, then the scores of the two games are compared.

Of course, if there is a situation where even two games have the same score, then in the end it will be up to the goal difference of both teams.

Therefore, for Atletico Madrid, they no longer have any advantage over their sworn enemies in the same city. If they lose in the derby, they will be in dire straits.

The league points were caught up by the rivals in the same city and lost the advantage in points, which is really depressing. However, Atletico Madrid fans have expressed their understanding of their players, on the one hand, it is not that the players do not work hard, but that the opponent is too shameless to be able to put the bus full of the whole game.

The second point is that even if there is only one draw in this game, you should not be frustrated, after all, no team can keep winning, the league has started eight rounds, seven wins and one draw to remain unbeaten, which is also an extremely proud result.

The fans are still full of confidence in the team.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Just as the fans have confidence in the team, even after a draw, the morale of the Atletico players is still high. They believe they deserve victory if it weren't for Mallorca's brazen play.

Mallorca was just a minor surprise in their rapid progress, and they are still the favourites for the league title.

It's just that reality slapped them mercilessly again.

They were held to a draw by Mallorca in the league and also suffered a draw in the Champions League – a midweek away game against Serie A giants AC Milan, where the team was sleepwalking in a bit of a disstated. If it weren't for goalkeeper Courtois's brave performance and continuous high pick-up resistance, I'm afraid Atletico would have fallen behind by a big score. ，

Atletico were also scored by AC Milan and led for most of the game. If it weren't for Qin Shou, who had a mediocre performance in the whole game but suddenly had a flash of inspiration near the end of the game, used a world wave to help the team equalize, then Atletico Madrid would only have to drink away from home.

After this draw, the situation in Group C is even more chaotic.

With a hard-fought point, Atletico remain at the top of the group with five points from one win and two draws. AC Milan, on the other hand, jumped to second place in the group with one win, draw and one loss. The original second-place Zenit St. Petersburg team lost 0:2 away to Anderlecht and temporarily ranked third in the group. Anderlecht, who are at the bottom of the table, have just three points.

After three rounds of the group stage, the gap between the four teams has not been widened, but has become closer. Everyone has the possibility of qualifying, and there is also the possibility of being eliminated.

It can be described as a mess, and the qualifying situation is extremely chaotic.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Although it only got a draw, but considering the team's poor performance throughout the game, coupled with the fact that it was an away game, the opponent was still the strongest opponent in the group, and the fans were able to get out of the group, and there was nothing to complain about.

After the end of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid went to the Basque Autonomous Region non-stop to challenge Athletic Bilbar, known as the Basque Lions.

It may be that the continuous rush and fighting have affected the team's form, or it may be because the successive draws have taken a blow to the confidence of the Atletico players, and the psychology of winning and losing is even more serious, in this game, they scored the first goal, but in the end they could not hold on to the fruits of victory, and were equalized by high school striker Llorente with a header in the 71st minute.

Neither team was able to score again, and the score was fixed at 1-1.

Two league games, one Champions League match, Atletico Madrid only got a draw, and they seem to be stuck in a cycle where no matter how they play, they can only draw.

The situation for the team has become dire.

However, the only thing worth comforting Atletico fans is that Real Madrid finally stopped their winning streak this time, and they were beaten 1-0 at home by Zaragoza, known as the giant killer, and Atletico Madrid continued to be at the top of the league standings with a one-point advantage.

However, they have not yet withdrawn from this "joy", and Atletico Madrid, who have been forced to draw in a row, finally lost.

A week later, Atletico Madrid fans were still applauding Zaragoza's feat of beating Real Madrid a week earlier, but when they faced their opponents in this round, they were swept away 2-0 on the road.

This time, it was the turn of the Real Madrid fans to laugh at them, because there were no more surprises in this round of Real Madrid, and they climbed to the top of the league standings with a victory!

The top of the league table has finally been shifted!

Today's Atletico Madrid can be described as driving high and going low, and the situation has taken a sharp turn!

Winter is already approaching, and Atletico Madrid seems to have been wrapped in the cold winds of winter.
