Yang Hao's first impression when he saw Torres was: This kid is Torres?

His face is full of freckles, and he is not handsome at all!

When I saw him looking at him again, his nervous expression seemed to be courageous even to look up secretly, and I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, and at the same time a sense of accomplishment swelled up.

This is Fernando Torres!

A world-class center of the future!

I'm still a kid right now, and I feel very satisfied to see that I'm trembling with nervousness.

"You don't have to think about anything, just play yourself, and I'll take care of the rest, understand?" Yang Hao reassured in a loud voice.

I don't know why, Torres seemed to believe in Yang Hao very much, raised his head, looked at the head coach, and nodded heavily.

It also turns out that Torres definitely has a big heart.

Or should it be said that all professional players must have a big heart, and the more famous they are, the stronger their ability to resist pressure.

For a player like this, the tension is only a short process.

Torres, for example, went on the pitch and started training and he was in shape.

And the same goes for Gabi.

Even in 2023, many fans are not very familiar with Gabi, but Yang Hao likes this player very much.

Gabi impressed him with a game in the 16/17 season, when Torres hit his head first and fell into a coma after colliding with his opponent, Gabi immediately gave him first aid and pulled Torres' tongue out.

The purpose of this is to prevent the tongue from falling back and occluding the trachea.

Sure enough, Torres waited unharmed for the team doctor to enter.

When he saw the news at that time, Yang Hao felt that Gabby must have studied first aid on weekdays, otherwise there were so many people on the court, how could he know what to do?

Another is that since Gabi returned to Atletico Madrid from Zaragoza, his performance has been very good and consistent, and his attendance rate is very impressive, even in his thirties, he can still provide the team with passing organization and midfield scheduling.

What's more, his defensive stats are even more impressive than his passing, and he has always been one of the best midfield defenders in La Liga, and arguably one of the central contributors to Simeone's rise to prominence at Atletico.

Unfortunately, the player never played for the Spanish national team.

It's not that he can't be strong, it's that there are too many Spaniards.

The 16-year-old Torres and Gabi are still very young, and Yang Hao is not in a hurry to use them, but Yang Hao wants to give them a chance, an environment that is more conducive to their growth.

As his book friend [Kendo God] of a book in his previous life commented: Geniuses don't need to level up, they just need to be given a platform.

Yang Hao could feel that Torres and Gabi were very grateful to him.

……

On the evening of May 18, in the final match of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Mallorca away.

Hasselbaink was appeased by Yang Hao, and this time he did not go away with the team, but stayed in Madrid to concentrate on preparing for the Copa del Rey.

This is true for the core main players such as Solari, Aguilera and Belleron.

Yang Hao lined up the backline of Antonio López, Toni Muñoz, Ayala and Zoran Negus, with veteran captain Tony Muñoz playing at left-back and serving as captain on the field.

The back two are a combination of Fresnedoso and Oscar Mena, with Jose Luque, Hugo Leal and Ponovic up front, and Kiko in the centre.

This set can be described as a full bench lineup, because this game has no meaning for Atletico.

Real Mallorca's twin strikers were Samuel Eto'o and Tristan, so Yang Hao adopted defensive counter-attacking tactics in the game.

But to defend and defend, the opening game must be attacked.

Just five minutes later, Ponovic opened the scoring for Atletico after receiving a pass from Kiko.

However, in the 15th minute, Samuel Eto'o managed to equalise.

After that, the two sides went back and forth, until the 31st minute, Antonio López and Jose Luque played a quick counter-attack on the left, and the two worked together, Jose Luque sent the ball to the middle of the box, and Kiko scrambled to hit the ball from close range.

2 to 1!

After the rematch in the second half, the game was still drawn, and both sides had no desire.

Yang Hao made two substitutions in the 60th minute, Torres replaced Kiko, and Gabi replaced Oscar Mena.

Both times were substitutions, and in the past few days of training, the two youngsters also understood the team's 4231 tactics, so they also knew what they should do after they came on the field.

But they are young in the end.

Gabby was diligent, but still a little reserved when it came to the ball.

Torres, on the other hand, does not understand nervousness and is very active, but the physical confrontation is too poor, and every time he gets the ball, he is staggered by the defenders of Real Mallorca.

It can be seen that both youngsters are trying hard to prove themselves, but at the moment, they are not very mature.

At the end of the game, Torres had a very good chance when a pass from Hugo Leal stopped the ball and turned around, brushed past the defenders, and shook everyone off at once.

However, the subsequent handling was inexperienced, and goalkeeper Leo Frank calculated that the shot was completely out of angle.

In the end, Atletico beat Real Mallorca 2-1.

Yang Hao's team ended the season in La Liga with six consecutive wins.

When the two youngsters walked off the court, they both hung their heads, clearly not very happy with their debuts.

But Yang Hao still smiled and encouraged them.

"You've done a good job and keep working hard next season!" Yang Hao held one in one hand and comforted.

Both looked at their head coach with a look of disbelief.

Does this mean that we will both be in the first team in the future, and we will follow you?

Yang Hao felt their doubts, but under the bad taste, he chose not to explain anything, guess!

The thought of these two young men going to insomnia made him laugh in his heart.

……

All 38 rounds of La Liga have been played.

Atletico beat Real Mallorca 2-1 away, with both sides having no desire and neither giving it their all.

Especially Atletico Madrid, who played with a full bench lineup, the key is to win.

This really made Yang Hao unexpected.

The biggest news for Atletico this round was the appearance of two youngsters.

The 16-year-old Torres and Gabi both came off the bench in the second half, especially when Torres came on for Kico.

At the post-match press conference, Mendiodo said that head coach Yang Hao commented that this scene was the handover ceremony of the two generations of Atletico Madrid's striker flags.

"He firmly believes that Torres will become a world-class center forward in the future!"

But everyone knows that for now, Torres is still too tender.

Especially the physical confrontation on the court, it really can't be.

In the final round, Deportivo La Coruna, who won the championship in advance, defeated Espanyol 2-0 and won the La Liga championship smoothly.

In fact, they already have it.

Barcelona drew 2-2 at home to Celta Vigo.

It is worth mentioning that after this game, Van Gaal announced that he would leave Barcelona.

This was also expected by all.

After the resignation of Barcelona president Nunez, everyone basically guessed the end of Van Gaal.

What was a real surprise was that Real Madrid, who were aiming to challenge for the Champions League, lost 0-1 at home to Valladolid, while Valencia beat Zaragoza 2-1.

As a result, Valencia is in 3rd place in La Liga, Zaragoza 4th and Real Madrid 5th.

This is tantamount to pushing Bosque's team to a dead end!

When Yang Hao received this battle report, he was really overjoyed, and said directly in the locker room: "When we succeed in relegation, it seems that even God has begun to stand on our side!" ”

Why?

There are only four Champions League places in La Liga, so if Real Madrid want to play in next season's Champions League, they must win the Champions League final and then pull Zaragoza down and replace them as the defending champions.

This is actually the current rule of the Champions League.

Similar to Liverpool's triumph, there are five teams in the Premier League (Liverpool have to start from the first round of qualifying) with different participation, and there are always only four places.

But for Zaragoza, it's a bit cruel.

finally fought to fourth in the league, but met Real Madrid, who rushed to the Champions League final, and could only hope that Valencia would win.

This is bound to increase the pressure on Real Madrid, which is a good thing for Atletico.

But what's more interesting is that in this round of matches, Real Mallorca lost at home to Atletico Madrid, Espanyol lost away to Deportivo La Coruna, Malaga drew 0-0 with Racing Santander, Real Oviedo lost 0-1 to Real Sociedad and Numancia lost 1-2 to Real Betis.

Due to the top teams, they either drew or lost, resulting in Atletico Madrid getting three points, and the league ranking rushed to 12th in one go, the same number of points as Athletic Bilbao in 11th place.

However, Atletico are in 12th place after losing 2-4 and 1-2 to Athletic Bilbao over two legs.

This is definitely something that Yang Hao didn't dare to think about before.

Obviously just want to be relegated, why did he rush to such a high position all of a sudden?

No one expected that Atletico Madrid, who had been in the relegation zone for more than half a year, suddenly succeeded in counterattacking in the last month and became a proper team in the middle of the bottom.

I can only say with emotion that things in the world are really wonderful!

This also made the media and fans around the world more admired Yang Hao, who was able to lead the team out of the most chaotic La Liga in history, and Yang Hao, who was only 25 years old, successfully proved his strength.

And he has an astonishing record of four wins in four games against two Champions League semi-final teams, Barcelona and Valencia.

It can be said that in the strong dialogue, Yang Hao's performance was very amazing.

Then there is the Copa del Rey final, if he can beat Real Madrid, then Yang Hao will completely kill 3 of the 4 teams in the semifinals of this season's Champions League.

Even the Spanish newspaper El País changed its previous perception of Yang Hao, believing that he was a veritable butcher of a wealthy family.

……

For the overwhelming news and propaganda from the outside world, Yang Hao will also browse, and he will be happy in his heart, and even a little proud, but he will soon forget about it.

However, there was one piece of news that attracted Yang Hao's attention.

He couldn't wait to give little Hill a call.
