Three days later, on the weekend, Atletico Madrid host Athletic Bilbao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

It's a team to take seriously.

This season, Athletic Bilbach has risen strongly, so far in fifth place in the league, the league is still very strong, they play better than Sevilla, in addition, in the second round of the league, Atletico Madrid lost points on Athletic Bilbao, when at the home of Athletic Bilbao, the two teams drew 1-1, Klose helped Atletico Madrid score the only goal.

So this game, Atletico Madrid attaches great importance to it.

Wan Sheng continued to start Morris, Mesut Ozil and Sergio Aguero so that nothing went wrong, and the league competition with Barcelona was too fierce for a draw to be acceptable.

The game proved that Wansheng's serious response was correct.

Athletic Bilbach completely ignored the home and away games, and launched a big offensive at the beginning, with a posture of playing against Atletico Madrid.

In the seventh minute, Javi Martinez's long-range shot from 25 yards out broke the door open for David De Gea to give Athletic Bilbach the lead.

"Javi Martinez!!"

"Athletic Bilbao lead Atletico Madrid 1-0 away!"

Javi Martinez's goal made Atletico Madrid a bit of a daze, the game had just begun, and many players had not yet found their senses, and Athletic Bilbao completed the goal.

In the past La Liga, Atletico Madrid was rarely scored first by their opponents.

Seeing the crisis of the situation, Wan Sheng hurriedly stood on the sidelines and reminded the players to play the game seriously and not to care about a goal, after all, the game has just begun.

Atletico then slowed down the pace to stabilize their defence, and then continued to play against Athletic Bilbao, but perhaps due to Javi Martinez's goal, several players up front failed to find their form, and three shots in a row did not pose a threat at all.

This continued throughout the first half.

Back in the locker room, Wan Sheng fired at the players, "What are you all doing!" It's the game! Official Tournament! Your hearts are fragile like a, the opponent just scored a goal, and you don't know how to play? ”

"If anyone is out of shape in the second half, they won't have to play in the next round of the league!"

The effect of this 'threat' is quite good.

The opponent of Atletico Madrid in this round of the league is only Athletic Bilbao, which has not received much attention, and the next game is a contest with Barcelona, which is directly related to the competition for the top spot in La Liga, and the whole of Spain and even Europe, and even radiates to many media around the world will pay attention to the game.

As a result, in the second half, Atletico Madrid's performance improved significantly.

In the 67th minute, Aguero received a pass from Morris and calmly sent the ball into the goal in the face of the goalkeeper to help Atletico Madrid equalize the score.

Neither team made any adjustments after that.

The game is still dominated by attack, and the midfield scramble is also particularly intense, it can be seen that after Athletic Bilbao plays a state, they are not afraid of Atletico Madrid at all, they dare to fight and dare to grab, every player plays quite seriously, and the overall state is much better than Atletico Madrid.

The only thing is that Athletic Bilbao is still lacking in strength, and there is a gap between their players and Atletico Madrid's players in terms of individual ability.

That's how the next goal came about.

Ozil again!

In the 79th minute, Mesut Ozil forced a break through Gulpaigi with the ball, and then faced centre-back Amorebieta, who opted to split the ball, Raul Garcia received the ball and crossed it into the box, and Aguero squeezed past central defender San Jose to head home.

2 to 1!

This is also the final score of both teams.

The biggest contributor to the game was undoubtedly Sergio Aguero, who scored two goals to help his side to victory.

At the end of the game, Sergio Aguero was very excited, but Wan Sheng's face turned black, and Aguero's performance was good news, but as a manager, he looked at the team's performance as a whole, and it was clear that most of the players were a little out of shape.

Athletic Bilbao scored the first goal on the one hand, and perhaps another reason is that the main squad has been fighting continuously.

For example, Morris, Mesut Ozil, Raul Garcia, Felipe Luiz and others have started four consecutive games and played the whole game, the league plus the cup, as a La Liga team, do not need to participate in the Europa League, the competition is not very intensive, but recently, due to the impact of the Copa del Rey schedule, the pressure of two games a week is still relatively large.

The crux of the problem is the team's substitute lineup, which is quite different from the main lineup.

This aspect will depend on the summer transfer, which is certainly not possible now, and the big game against Barcelona is imminent, and some of the main players will have to rest as well.

So in the second leg of the Copa del Rey with Sevilla, Wan Sheng directly sent a substitute lineup!

This is a match played at the Calderón Stadium.

When seeing Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, Sevilla coach Manzano was extremely annoyed, because he also let half of the substitutes come on, he had already given up the game, after all, he lost four goals at home, and the hope of coming away was too slim, but if he knew that Atletico Madrid's main team rotated, how could he send all the main players to fight for a game.

Here's a chance!

Everyone knows that the strength gap between Atletico Madrid's substitutes and the main force, Atletico Madrid's substitute lineup, the only strong is the striker, for example, the back line is very weak, and the midfielders are also composed of young people, and the strength is still there, but there is no need to talk about experience.

Pity...... It's late.

In the middle of the game, Manzano brought on big players Keylor Navas and Fabiano, but in the end Sevilla scored only three goals, while Atletico Madrid also scored one.

The final match ended 1-3.

Over two legs, Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 5-3 to advance to the Copa del Rey final.

Manzano's expression after the game can be imagined, that is, chagrin...... Of course, it didn't work, the two legs were over, Sevilla were knocked out of the tournament and they could watch the Copa del Rey final as outsiders.

After the match, Manzano shook Wan Sheng's hand and said, "You're so bold. ”

Wan Sheng shook his head helplessly, "Now that the game is over, I can tell you calmly that we have no choice." Next we have to play against Barcelona, and the main squad has to rest for one round, otherwise it will be us who loses by four goals. ”

Manzano was stunned for a moment, and immediately had a good impression of Wan Sheng's calmness, "I didn't expect you to say that." Other people say that you are not good at communicating, and that is sure of their misunderstanding. ”

"Thank you."

Wan Sheng didn't justify his name or anything, he didn't bother to do that, as for those people who said that he was not good at communicating, just because they were competitors, competitors naturally had nothing to say.

If Atletico Madrid's results are poor, no matter how bad his attitude is, others will not have so many negative comments about him, but Atletico Madrid has reached the point of challenging the La Liga title, and it is strange that those competitors can have a good impression of him.

Two hours later, another Copa del Rey match was over.

Barcelona continued their strong run with a 3-0 win at Almeria and an 8-0 win over two legs to reach the Copa del Rey final.

The two teams finally met in the Copa del Rey final!

The Copa del Rey final has been decided by both sides, and only Spanish football will have a problem with it.

Where is the venue for the finals?

The Spanish Copa del Rey is a rare and wonderful cup in the world, this event has a long history, from 1902 to the present, has a history of 109 years, but such an important event, the venue of the final is controversial almost every year, the reason is that the venue of the Copa del Rey has been in a state of "displacement".

The Spanish Football Federation needs to mediate every year in order to lend a venue to a club of a certain size, and for the sake of fairness, the Spanish Football Federation strongly wants the Copa del Rey final to be held at a neutral venue.

But in fact, the venue of the Copa del Rey final is the result of a three-way dispute - the two teams participating in the Copa del Rey final and the Spanish Football Federation are the three parties, and there will be various football legends during the period to express their opinions, which will also affect the determination of the final venue.

It is precisely because of the three-way bickering that it is difficult to have a truly neutral result, so some of the past Copa del Rey finals have been set to be played on the home of one of the two teams.

Of course, that's completely unfair.

For example, when Atletico Madrid had a good record in the past, it was possible to meet Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, and whenever this time, the Copa del Rey final was likely to be played at the Bernabeu Stadium, for the simple reason - the Bernabeu Stadium has a larger fan capacity than the Calderon Stadium, which will facilitate the entry of neutral fans to watch the game, and will also bring more income to the Copa del Rey final.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid met in the same final this season, with both sides clearly wanting to play the Copa del Rey final at their own stadium rather than playing at each other's stadium, and after the Copa del Rey semi-final, both sides almost unanimously insisted that Real Madrid's Bernabéu Stadium was the ideal venue for the final.

The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is simply amazing!

Atletico Madri and Barcelona are both bitter rivals to Real Madrid, and they are both eager to win the Copa del Rey at the Bernabeu.

The Spanish Football Federation also thinks that the choice of the Bernabeu stadium is very good, needless to say, the venue environment is not to mention, the stadium capacity is also sufficient, Madrid is the capital of Spain, and it is also convenient for neutral fans to watch the game.

But......

As sworn enemies of each other, Real Madrid never wants either side to win the championship on their home turf, which is simply a scene of "Tai Sui's head breaking ground".

As a result, Real Madrid immediately rejected the idea of the two sides wanting to play the Copa del Rey final at the Bernabeu on the grounds of stadium maintenance.
