Chapter 187: La Liga Three Kingdoms
Ringer scored a goal in the 84th minute to help Atletico Madrid beat Levante and finally won all three points at home.
Ringer, who scored the winner of the game, was voted Man of the Match and was interviewed after the game.
"Levante is a tenacious team and we had a tough game."
'It's great to be able to get this win before Christmas, it's a Christmas wish for the whole team and a Christmas gift for the fans.'
"Lose the top spot? It's nothing, we're on the same points as Barcelona now. β
Although Atletico Madrid won 3:2 at home against Levante, in this round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Getafe 5:2 on the outskirts of Madrid, brushing up three goal difference in one go.
As a result, Atletico Madrid had just sat at the top of the table for a round and was snatched back by Barcelona, with a goal difference.
At the same time, Real Madrid also beat Valencia 3-2 away in this round.
After 17 rounds of La Liga, the current La Liga standings,
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both have 15 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 46 points, and Barcelona won the winter break title by virtue of a goal difference.
Real Madrid has 13 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 41 points, temporarily ranking third.
After that, there is Athletic Bilbao with 33 points, and the gap between it and the top three is still relatively large.
Atletico Madrid were ousted at the top of the table after only one round, which still got a lot of coverage, especially the loss of the winter break title.
La Liga's winter break champion is still very instructive.
La Liga is in its 14th season since the beginning of the 21st century, and 10 of the previous 13 seasons have been crowned champions with a winter break.
As for Barcelona alone, they have won the winter break title six times before, and they have successfully won the La Liga title six times.
Therefore, Barcelona can regain the top position in the last round before the winter break, and Barcelona's media are quite happy, and the "Daily Sports" even claims: "In the last round before the winter break, Atletico Madrid suffered a stubborn sniper, and Barcelona returned to the top, which is a sign that Barcelona can complete the La Liga defense this season." β
Well, they all regard this Winter Break Champion as a big buff, and when they get it, they can greatly improve their offense and defense.
In fact, it is a matter of goal difference, which is the same as taking advantage of it.
At the end of the La Liga halfway, in the La Liga scorer list, Cristiano Ronaldo and Diego Costa also scored 18 goals, and Costa was temporarily first with one penalty kick.
With the goals scored during this period, Ringer's league goal tally has also reached 16, which is the third highest scorer in the list.
Half a season at Atletico Madrid, Ringer played 16 La Liga games for Atletico Madrid, scoring 16 goals;
Played in five Champions League games and scored seven goals;
Played in 2 Super Cup games, scored 2 goals, and helped the team win the Super Cup;
Played in 2 Copa del Rey games and scored 3 goals.
In half a season, Ringer scored 28 goals in 25 games for Atletico, the most goalscoring player in this half season.
Costa is currently 18 league goals and four Champions League goals, for a total of 22 goals.
At this point, Ringer's 2013 year is coming to an end, his first year in Europe.
In Europe, Ringer scored 20 goals at Bayern Munich and 28 at Atletico Madrid, for a total of 48 goals, the second most goals scored by any player in Europe in all of 2013.
In the 2013 scorer list, Ronaldo leads the way with 69 goals, which is also Ronaldo's current personal annual goal record.
That's what Melo is capable of dominating football at the moment, and they have the ability to score so many goals.
The second is Ringer's 48 goals, he is definitely the fastest rising star in Europe this year, and 48 goals this year is also the number of goals scored by a top striker.
Third place went to Ibrahimovic with 47 goals, who was just one goal less than Ringer.
The fourth is Messi, who still has a good performance of 45 goals under the injury trouble, and the media have said that when Messi returns from injury next year, the football world will still depend on Mero to compete for supremacy.
Next is Suarez with 42 goals, Cavani with 41 goals, Lewandowski with 39 goals and others.
It is worth mentioning that in the last round before the winter break in Ligue 1, Ibrahimovic fought with people, and this matter was involved in Ringer.
In the match between Paris and Lille at home, Ibrahimovic helped the team open the scoring, and then was limited by Lille captain Mafoba and has not been able to score again, in this case, before the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic and the opponent clashed, Ibrahimovic pushed Mafoba from behind, Mafoba got up and rushed up and gave the Swede a slap.
It's not uncommon for Ibrahimovic to clash with people, but this happened in the last game before the winter break, so it was continuously hyped by the media.
According to the Spanish newspaper Confidential: "Ibrahimovic only became angry after knowing that Lin had scored a goal, bringing the tally to 48 goals in the year. At that time, Ibrahimovic knew that he only needed one more goal to equal the number of goals scored by the Chinese, and two more could even overtake, but he himself was limited, never found a chance, and clashed with the other party in anger. β
The next day, Mafoba, who clashed with Ibrahimovic, said in front of reporters: "I know the reason why that bastard is angry, he still wants to score goals to overtake the Chinese rockets, but I am completely limited, he can't find a chance at all, so he starts attacking me." β
Well, this is a solid seat, Ibrahimovic is third because of the number of goals scored by Ringer, so he is angry and clashed with people on the pitch.

Ringer's strong rise in La Liga, and at the same time his Atletico Madrid team is also rising strongly, and now that the winter break is coming at the end of half a season, the Spanish media needs to make a summary of the first half of the year, and the domestic media are also summarizing Ringer and Atletico Madrid.
Yang Ma's "World Football" made a program called "La Liga's Romance of the Three Kingdoms Era".
"La Liga has always given people the impression that it is a typical two-person league, Barcelona and Real Madrid are famous side by side, while other La Liga teams are not well-known, and it is difficult to compete with these two teams in terms of results, and almost every year the La Liga championship is fought by these two teams."
"We looked back at the past 9 seasons of La Liga, and we can find that in the past 9 years, almost all the champions and runners-up of La Liga have been monopolized by Barcelona and Real Madrid, only in the 07/08 season, Villarreal beat Barcelona to win a La Liga runner-up, which is the only time in 9 years that the La Liga champions and runners-up have been lost."
"But halfway through this season's La Liga, people look at the La Liga standings and find that another team from Madrid, Atletico Madrid, is inextricably linked to Barcelona in the La Liga standings, and even beat Real Madrid to become the runner-up in this season's winter break, which is only one goal difference less than Barcelona, the winter break champion."
"And this Madrid team, known as the Sheet Army, did not rely on Barcelona's poor form and Real Madrid to rise to prominence, but really fought a bloody way under the strong domination of the La Liga giants."
Barcelona won the winter break with 46 points, the second-highest number of points this century, behind BarΓ§a's own 49 points last season. Atletico Madrid finished second on the winter break with 46 points, the highest number of points this century, and five points higher than the previous record set by Real Madrid in 2010 with 41 points. β
"Of course, Real Madrid finished third during the winter break with 41 points, which is also the highest score in La Liga in 20 years."
"From these, we can all see that when Barcelona Real Madrid is still strong enough, Atletico Madrid has suddenly come out of the encirclement and has the strength to compete with Barcelona Real Madrid for females."
"The rise of Atletico Madrid, we have to mention a couple of players on their inside, the golden twin in attack, the partnership between Ringer and Costa, and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois."
'Thibaut Courtois has improved rapidly for two seasons in a row and is now a strong guarantee at the back of Atletico Madrid's defence, keeping Atletico goals clean on several occasions and helping the Bianconeri to victory.
"Ringer and Costa's forward duo is the hottest attacking combination in La Liga this season, and the number of goals scored by the two of them is even better than Real Madrid's BBC combination that resounded throughout Europe~~~"
