Chapter 182: Asian Golden Globe Awards

On November 30, in the 15th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid went to Valencia and challenged this season's promoted Elche away from home.

Atletico Madrid have six games to play before the winter break, three league games, two Copa del Rey games and one Champions League game.

Simeone has already given the order that 3 league games must be won, and the other games are not too demanding.

Atletico Madrid, who played their main role, did not suffer too much trouble away from home, and Elche, who were aiming for relegation, played quite conservatively at the beginning, so Atletico Madrid could not help them in a short period of time.

But just before the end of the first half, in the 41st minute, Turan broke through on the left and crossed, Diego Costa's header was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, and Ringer followed up with a timely follow-up shot to finally help the team take the lead.

"Lin~~ He scored again, he helped Atletico Madrid take the lead!!" This is a compliment from the Spanish commentary.

In the second half, in the 60th and 73rd minutes, Koke and Costa scored again to lock the score at 3:0.

The Sheets won 3-0 away at the promoted side, while in the other games of this round, Real Madrid beat Valladolid 4-0 at home, and in Rowe's absence, Bale had to seize the opportunity to perform.

However, Barcelona at the top of the table have not fared so well, as they were sniped at the Basque Country. Athletic Bilbao beat Barcelona 1-0 at home, giving Barcelona their first defeat in La Liga this season.

Barcelona lost, Atletico Madrid won and finally tied the opponent in points.

At present, after 15 rounds of La Liga, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 40 points, but Barcelona has one more goal difference and is temporarily at the top of the table.

Real Madrid has 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, accumulating 37 points, followed by 3 points.

Approaching the winter break, the La Liga schedule is finally less intense, and after the 15th round of La Liga, Atletico can have a week of rest, and a week later is the Copa del Rey round of 32.

The Spanish Copa del Rey actually started at the beginning of the season, but according to the format of the Copa del Rey, La Liga teams were only added in the round of 32, and the previous games were all rookies pecking at each other by lower-division teams.

Atletico Madrid's opponent in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey is La C's Saint-André, with Atletico Madrid playing away and then home.

During this period, the draw for the group stage of next year's World Cup was also successfully carried out in Brazil, and the draw was a few joys and a few worries.

But it's none of the Chinese team's business, and it's not about Ringer.

However, as the winter break approaches, the winter transfer period is about to begin, and transfer rumors are increasing.

In terms of transfer rumors, Barcelona Real Madrid must occupy the most pages, and the Spanish media can always come up with ways and always find evidence to help Barcelona Real Madrid buy and sell.

If you only look at the reports of the Spanish media, Ronaldo Messi has already gone to play in local tyrant teams such as Paris and Manchester City.

With Ringer's performance, there are many transfer rumors about him, and the first to be linked to Ringer is the Premier League giants, Manchester United.

Manchester United after Alex Ferguson's retirement is not easy, as the reigning champions of the Premier League, they have been hovering between 6 and 10 for a long time, and have also created a number of history, such as the worst start in 24 years, the first defeat to a rookie underdog in 35 years, etc.

Moyes, who succeeded Ferguson, is now being criticized by the British media every day, and his rival Liverpool fans even joked that Moyes is a football genius.

The first giant in the Premier League is like this, and the first thing the British media thinks of is naturally to bring in strong reinforcements, and Ringer, who has been very popular recently, has also become a target. The British media have already vowed that Manchester United have started to contact Atletico Madrid, with the aim of bringing in Ringer during the winter break to help Manchester United return to title contention in the second half of the season.

However, United are not the only target for Ringer, Dort's Reus is said to be one of the targets.

On December 7, in the first leg of the round of 32 of the Spanish Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid went to challenge the Spanish Championship team San Te Andre away.

Appearing on the turf away from home, the whole Atletico Madrid team actually got a lot of cheers. For a club like Saint-Andrés, a draw against Atletico Madrid is basically a no-brainer, and the home fans are happy to see these top stars of La Liga at home.

Atletico fielded a half-main and half-bench line-up, with Ringer and Adrian up front.

Against a West C team, everyone will not be polite.

In the 13th minute, Gabi took a corner kick, Raul Garcia headed it over, and Ringer followed up with a follow-up shot into the net.

In the 21st minute, Ringer broke through the middle and gave it to Gabi, who transferred to Turan on the left, and Turan volleyed home from inside the box.

In the 36th minute, Koke's straight stop, Turan successfully scored a single goal against offside, and the score became 3:0.

Atletico Madrid took a three-goal lead in the first half, and in the second half Simeone began to make substitutions and let the team shrink properly, but Ringer stayed on the pitch and continued to try to find goals.

Finally, in the 79th minute, Ringer received a cross pass from Juanfran in front of the penalty area to meet the ball and volley, and finally hit a beautiful long-range shot, once again breaking the opponent's goal.

In the end, thanks to Ringer and Turan's braces, Atletico Madrid defeated Saint-André 4-0 away and advanced to the next round of the Copa del Rey.

Although they beat their opponents away from home, the whole Atletico team was treated with great courtesy at the end of the game, and the players of Saint-André all came to them to exchange jerseys, and Ringer's jerseys were exchanged as if they were snatched away, and they were surrounded by many home fans on the sidelines of the stadium and asked for a lot of autographs.

This scene, just like the Chinese team playing the Brazilian team, it doesn't matter if you lose by a big score, the loser doesn't care at all, and hurries over to sign and ask for a jersey.

After beating Santo Andre away at Saint-Teréndre, Ringer was delighted to score two goals and returned to Madrid to prepare for the final group game of this season's Champions League.

The final round of the group stage doesn't matter to Atletico Madrid, but it doesn't work for anyone else, with Zenit and Porto still battling it out for second place in that crucial group.

The Russian media are putting on a high hat for Atletico Madrid: "Atletico Madrid has shown that Madrid is not the only club of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is no worse than Real Madrid in the Champions League, and they deserve an unbeaten group stage." ”

At present, Zenit has 6 points and Porto has 5 points, Zenit has surpassed Porto in terms of mutual record, as long as Atletico Madrid does not lose to Porto at home, then the Russians can still advance smoothly even if there is an accident in the final round.

Porto, for their part, expressed their determination: "We will do our best to qualify, even away from home we will not be afraid, we will play a little tougher to help the team get the three points." ”

In the group stage, when Atletico Madrid went away to Porto, the Portuguese stopped Atletico with a lot of fouls, but unfortunately they were finally killed by Ringer's free kick.

This time they are even more threatening, which means that if Atletico Madrid, who have already qualified early, want to snipe them at home, they will not be polite, and if there is any kick injury or disability, you can take responsibility for it.

Atletico Madrid fans also have their own ideas, many of them have taken to the club's website, social media, etc. to express their opinions, thinking that the team should beat the Portuguese at home, because Atletico Madrid's last two Champions League games were killed by Porto, and this time there is a chance, so it is natural to take revenge.

On December 11, in the sixth round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid faced Porto at home.

Before the start of the game, Ringer claimed a trophy at home.

Trophy of the Asian Golden Globe Awards.

The Asian Ballon d'Or is an Asian football award that has only begun to be selected this year, probably because the AFC has turned the Asian Footballer of the Year into an exclusive award for local Asian players, and the media in Asian countries followed the previous European Ballon d'Or awards, so they made such an Asian Ballon d'Or Award.

The selection of the Asian Ballon d'Or is quite broad, as long as the Asian player plays anywhere, as well as players from other continents who play in Asia.

This is the first year, and Ringer was elected by a large margin. The only other person who can compete with him a little is probably Keisuke Honda, who currently plays for CSKA Moscow.

The organizers of the Asian Ballon d'Or have communicated with Atletico Madrid to present the award to Ringer before the start of the Champions League.

"Congratulations, Ringer."

"Thank you."

The award was presented to Ringer by Zhang Dunnan, the editor-in-chief and president of the domestic sports weekly, which is also the only media in China to participate in the selection of the Asian Golden Globe Awards.

A rectangular base with a crystal ball on top.

Well, it's also a personal award, take it home and keep it for collection.

After a brief presentation of awards, it was not long before the Champions League began.

Ringer and Costa started together, Atletico were basically at the best of their best, and Simeone seemed to have listened to the fans' advice and wanted to send Porto out.

However, Porto did play tough, constantly using fouls to stop Atletico's counterattack. Ringer became the man who was fouled the most, and in the first half alone, Ringer was violated seven times, and Porto also managed to stop Atletico's attack, and the score was 0-0 at the end of the first half.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Ringer was replaced by Adrian.

"They have too many fouls, you don't have to dwell on them on the court." These are Simeone's words of comfort to Ringer.

Ringer's departure gave Porto a chance to take advantage of it, but in the 69th minute, Atletico relied on a free-kick opportunity in front of the goal, and Diego Costa finally seized the opportunity to score a goal, and Porto paid the price for their foul.

And at this time, the coach of Porto also got the news that in this group of games at the same time, Zenit conceded two goals in a row in more than ten minutes at the beginning of the second half of the Austrian away, and now Zenit has fallen behind Vienna 1:3. In other words, as long as Porto can beat Atletico Madrid, they can really overtake Zenit to qualify from the group.

So at the suggestion of the head coach, Porto began to press the attack frantically, and soon in the 77th minute, Gabi kicked a long pass from the backfield, and Costa successfully won a single knife against offside and scored the ball again.

Costa scored his first brace in the Champions League and also announced the death of Porto, who were unable to equalise and had to score three goals in a row to qualify from the group.

Relying on Costa's brace, Atletico Madrid defeated Porto 2-0 at home, and won 5 wins, 1 draw and 16 points in the Champions League group stage this season.

If you have a ticket, you can vote for two at will, thank you.
