Chapter 179: Champion Preview
The new season is here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to schedule issues, Atletico Madrid staggered the first round of the league and played directly from the second round against Osasuna.
With one less league game, there was less media attention, but when the second round arrived, all the Spanish media found a problem - the match was played at the Calderón Stadium, and Atletico Madrid did not sign the contract with Pro Broadcasting TV, in other words, Pro Broadcasting TV did not have the television rights to Atletico Madrid's home matches.
If the media wants to broadcast the game live, they have to negotiate with Atletico Madrid for the right to broadcast a single game.
Atletico Madrid host Osasuna?
What is there to broadcast this game live, the TV media feel that it is not worth the money, so there is no TV station in Spain to broadcast this game, but China's central TV has the right to broadcast it, and fans who want to watch the game can only watch the live Chinese TV broadcast through the Internet and use agents to watch the game of Atletico Madrid.
For exclusive TV broadcasting, Central TV has also invested a lot of money, and the 24 cameras in the entire stadium are all owned by Central TV.
This is their first game after buying out the live broadcast rights of Atletico Madrid in Asia, so it is natural that they will seriously complete the live broadcast of the entire game.
In this case, the match of Atletico Madrid began.
It is estimated that Osasuna would not have thought that the game would encounter the embarrassment of not being broadcast on TV, and their players were very weak to play the game, and they felt that they would not be seen by many fans after performing for half a day.
On the contrary, the Atletico Madrid players are full of motivation, the first game of the new season, Calderón Stadium is full, and the fans know that they can't see the TV broadcast outside, so the ticket sales are very hot, and some fans who buy tickets later can only buy high-priced scalper tickets, and the popularity of the fans on the scene also makes the Atletico Madrid fans very motivated to play, after all, the TV broadcast, they can only see it after the game, and the fan support on the scene is closer and more authentic.
Osasuna were under relegation pressure last season, but after sacking Camacho, new boss Didouard Mendilibar led the team to a ninth finish in the league.
In the summer, Osasuna underwent a major change, with Nelson, Soriano, Aranda, Camnias, Pandiani, Monrial and most of the main squad leaving the Navarra Rey Stadium. In terms of personnel introductions, former Tenerife captain Bertran and former La Liga Golden Boot Nino are slightly better known players.
Osasuna's renewal is a bit of a 'shock therapy'.
After losing most of their main squad, Osasuna has stagnated in terms of recruitment, and Mendilibar can only pin his hopes on the B team youngsters.
The inaction of the club's top management has made Osasuna the favourites for relegation from La Liga this season.
This is the second round of Osasuna.
In the second round, they were unfortunate to meet Atletico Madrid, and their luck was not good, because the whole Atletico Madrid team held their breath and wanted to get off to a good start.
"Isn't it interesting that there is no media to broadcast the game? Because we didn't sign the TV contract! Why don't we sign it? Those black-hearted TV broadcasters look down on us at all, they think that the commercial value of our game is not more than a third or even a quarter of Real Madrid's! ”
"Do you know what to do when it comes to the game? Defeat our opponents once and for all to see what we're capable of! Let them know how much our game is worth! ”
"This is the moment when the value is truly realized!"
The figure of Wan Sheng waving his fist was reflected in the minds of all the players.
Atletico Madrid's performance can be imagined.
From the very beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid showed a stormy attack, leaving Osasuna with almost only one option - to retreat to prevent the goal from being missed.
Atletico Madrid's offense is not something that can be defended if you want to.
The game fully reflects the difference in strength between the two sides!
In the first half alone, Atletico Madrid scored three goals, and it is worth mentioning that Diego Costa broke out in form, scoring two goals by him.
In the second half, Osasuna seemed to be trying to regain face and attack a little more ferociously, but Atletico Madrid told them with a wave of counter-attacks that it was very dangerous to attack.
Mesut Ozil dribbled the ball wide and broke through two defenders in quick succession, before passing the ball to Klose in the middle, who slotted home the ball in the box.
4 to 0!
Calderón Stadium is boiling!
Even Madrid fans believed in the team, but they didn't expect that the team would win so heartily in the first game!
In the end, Atletico Madrid won the match 6-0 and started the new season well.
At a press conference after the game, Wansheng directly said that this season's league title will still belong to Atletico Madrid.
"I know that saying this will definitely cause controversy and a lot of people will be unhappy, but I have to say what I really think: this season, there is no suspense in La Liga, we will still have more titles, and that's it!"
This is too arrogant.
In the face of the statement that Wan Sheng is going to win the league championship in a row, the media in the audience don't know how to refute it, because Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona to win the Spanish Super Cup, and won the first round so easily, it is really not surprising to say that they can win the championship.
Atletico Madrid's squad has grown stronger this season, and after Sergio Aguero's departure, they have not shown any weakness in attack.
In terms of the odds of winning La Liga by European bookmakers, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are about the same, tied for the lowest odds, followed by Real Madrid, and the odds of other teams winning the championship are very high.
According to the odds of European bookmakers, or rather, according to the strength of the teams in La Liga, Atletico Madrid actually has only two rivals - Barcelona and Real Madrid.
In the matches against Barcelona and Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid also showed strength.
It was no surprise that such a team won the championship.
But Wan Sheng's words are really unpleasant.
By the next day, the second round of the league was over, and many media had something to say, and the representative ones were the media supporting Real Madrid and Barcelona, because these two teams also won big - Real Madrid beat Zaragoza 6-0 away, and Barcelona beat Villarreal 5-0.
Both teams, like Atletico Madrid, staggered the first round of the league, with only one game played and the results were similar.
Barcelona are a bit better because their opponents are Villarreal, who finished fifth in the league last season and are still very strong, beating Villarreal by six goals is also a testament to Barcelona's strength and good form.
The Catalan media excitedly said, "Wan Sheng said that Atletico Madrid will win the league title? It doesn't seem to be the case, Barcelona is obviously better, so the title should belong to Barcelona! But soon the Catalan media shut up, as Barcelona drew 2-2 with Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou in the third round of the league.
Barcelona actually performed well, they temporarily led 2-0 in the first half thanks to goals from Xavi and Cesc Fabregas, but the second half was abrupt, Real Sociedad scored twice in two minutes, and Barcelona was in danger in front of the goal in the final moments, and the two sides ended up in a 2-2 draw.
The game seemed to remind all teams not to underestimate any opponent in the midfield.
Real Sociedad finished 15th in the league last season, but they pose a threat to Barcelona.
The media supporting Real Madrid were very excited because Real Madrid won another game, beating Getafe 4-2 at home.
In the league standings, Real Madrid leads Barcelona by 2 points.
At the start of the season, a two-point advantage was nothing. But it's a considerable improvement for Real Madrid, who last finished two points ahead of Barcelona in the league three years ago.
Although Real Madrid played dangerously, they were able to win and surpass their old rivals Barcelona in points.
Atletico Madrid's match was played on the afternoon of the second day against Valencia.
This match is the highlight of the third round.
To the relief of all the media, the game is Valencia's home stadium and the TV media can finally broadcast the game live.
Last season's results were still surprising, no one could have imagined that after losing the two core of Villa and Marchena last summer, Valencia would win fourth in the league by 11 points ahead of fifth place and successfully qualify for the Champions League, they played two Champions League qualifiers in August, and also beat their opponents one by one to advance, so that Spain can have four teams in the Champions League finals.
Valencia has won a good result, and coach Unai Emery has contributed a lot.
With 18 goals in the league, Soldado is Valencia's top scorer, and in the Champions League, Valencia also reached the round of 16, but was eliminated by Schalke 04.
Valencia's biggest loss in the summer was the loss of Juan Mata, as well as the team's four veterans, Joaquin, Vicente, Cesar Sanchez and David Navarro.
Valencia has gained a lot in recruitment, signing Diego Alves, one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga, from Almeria for 3 million, and also buying French international defender Lamy, in the midfield, Canales and Parejo, two Real Madrid academy players, and Almeria's left-footed genius Piati to pitch, may be able to make up for the loss of Mata's departure, and at the same time bring more youth to Valencia.
A week ago, Valencia strengthened their defence with the signing of Victor Ruiz and Barragán.
The Spanish media commented, "Valencia will have a hard time competing for the title, but it will not be difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League. ”
