136 Together! We have nothing to fear! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
Atletico eventually beat Porto 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Diego Forlan.
Juventus narrowly beat Celtic 3-2 at home.
Unlike Atletico Madrid, who spent most of their time pressing Porto and creating chances, Juventus' game against Celtic was hard to describe.
Juventus did not show a convincing spirit throughout the game, as well as the dominance of a strong team.
Playing at home, they didn't get a goal until the 43rd minute when Salas assisted Trezeguet.
But in the second half, Martin O'Neill's side completely let go and launched a fierce attack on Juventus.
In the 55th minute, Piero crossed from the left and Trezeguet scored again.
But the Soviet Super League team did not retreat, but continued to increase the offensive.
Finally, ten minutes later, Petrov took a free-kick in front of the goal and found Buffon's goal.
Eight minutes after the goal, Davies received a second yellow card and was sent off after a strong offensive pressure from Celtic.
Celtic, who had one more man, equalised in the 86th minute with a penalty.
Throughout the second half, Celtic completely dominated and came to suppress Juventus on the road.
However, in stoppage time, substitute Amoruso collapsed in the Celtic penalty area, and the referee awarded another penalty.
This time the decision caused a huge controversy, but Amoruso calmly took the shot.
After that, Celtic continued to attack and had a good chance, but Buffon saved Larsson's close-range header like a divine help.
In the end, Juventus narrowly won at home.
After the game, the British media kept blaming the referee, believing that the last penalty was unwarranted, and Juventus snatched a victory that should have belonged to Celtic through disgraceful means.
Martin O'Neill also said publicly after the game, "We played very well throughout the second half, but the referee ruled against us and we were shocked by the penalty at the last moment. ”
The Italian media countered by arguing that Celtic's penalty was also controversial.
Davis even believes that his two yellow cards should not have appeared.
The match turned into a brawl between the two major media camps, Italy and the United Kingdom.
……
After playing Porto, Yang Hao watched the video of the game with his assistants.
Because Atletico's opponent next week is Juventus.
For such a situation, he felt more embarrassed.
The old overlords Juventus have been forced into this situation by Celtic.
And the fall of Serie A in the small World Cup is now more obvious.
Why is the Italian media doing everything possible to defend Juventus?
Because of the four teams participating in the Champions League, Juventus is the best player.
Yes, as a seeded team in the group, Juventus won one and drew one in the first two rounds, only got four points, and played Celtic at home and played so hard, and is now second in the group standings, still behind Atletico Madrid, who have won two in a row.
What about other teams?
Lazio, who finished third in Serie A last season, drew a lottery that was too good to be good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a guarantee.
Ligue 1 Nantes, Eredivisie PSV Eindhoven, Turkey's Galatasaray.
Big brother, third in Serie A, if you meet such a team, you can't take off?
The result?
Lazio lost 1-0 away to Galatasaray and then suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to Nantes.
The whole world was stunned.
This is third in Serie A?
Well, look at your turnover this summer and the heavy losses, what about Serie A champions Roma?
A 2-1 home defeat to Real Madrid in the first round of the group stage is normal.
But in the next round of the second round 0-0 away against Ping Delecht, this shouldn't be?
The famous coach Capello, leading the star-studded Roma, played like this in the group stage?
Okay, the Italian team is stable?
And what about Parma, who finished fourth in Serie A last season?
In the qualifiers, they lost 2-1 on aggregate to Lille in Ligue 1 over two legs and could not enter the group stage.
As for the report cards of these teams in Serie A this season, even the Italian media themselves feel embarrassed.
Where is there still half of the world's first league, the style of the small World Cup?
……
"From Veron, Zidane and other superstars gradually fleeing Serie A, many people are speculating that Serie A is now less attractive to top superstars than La Liga, or even the Premier League."
Juanma Lillo also had a premonition about the decline of Serie A.
"The tax rate, the economic situation, the income of the Serie A team, etc., these are all on the one hand, the main thing is that the whole environment is too bad and extremely unfriendly to the stars."
"Let's just talk about Peron, Italy's fake passports are already rampant, who doesn't know? The restrictions on foreign aid are so strict, how did those foreign aid get dual citizenship in the past, they themselves don't know? Casually, if there is someone in the ancestor, find some relationship channels, you can get dual nationality, or even buy it directly. ”
"Well, now the economy is down, the pressure is high, and you start a thorough investigation, and you end up making a soap opera."
Yang Hao really couldn't understand the logic of the Italian government, from taxes to this fake passport incident.
It's not just Peron, it's a lot of other people involved.
Moreover, taxes in Italy are really very cumbersome, and it can even be said that they are excessive.
As a result, many stars are either looking for someone to avoid taxes, or simply not mixing in Serie A.
Needless to say, the latter, but what about the former?
Once you find out, you're screwed up.
Note that many of the so-called tax avoidances here, according to media reports, are still linked to the Italian government's tax officials.
To put it simply, it is to trust the relationship and find a way.
In Yang Hao's previous life, many people, including Yang Hao himself, felt that the phonegate incident was the reason for the decline of Serie A.
But when Yang Hao crossed over and experienced everything in front of him, he really realized that the phonegate incident was just a result.
For example, recently, Italy has been making false accounts in Chamilan through transfers and other means.
This is not the first time, and it will not be the last.
"In addition to the factors you mentioned, I think there are three other reasons."
Yang Hao took Juanma Lillo's words and said his understanding.
'One is that the football culture in Italy is terrible and Patrice Evra told me that when he played at a lower level, a lot of the opponent's fans, even the fans of his team, racially discriminated against him.
"Not long ago, Seedorf also scolded Inter Milan's VIPs for racism against his wife, there are too many things like this, and it is not news that Italian teams are attacking away fans in Serie A or in the Champions League."
"What is the approach of the Italian Football Federation and the government in this situation?"
"Let it go! Even, conniving! ”
The football culture of Italy as a whole is rotten from the roots.
Looking at the four major leagues, which national league dares to tolerate and condone racial discrimination as much as Italy?
It's not new, it was and will continue to exist, even Italy's own Balotelli has not encountered it.
Football hooligans in the Premier League are famous, but at least the FA, the Premier League and the British government are cracking down hard, not to mention racial discrimination.
And this kind of football atmosphere is really bad for foreign players.
For those competitive players, I am the master wherever I go, why bother to come to your Serie A side to be angry?
No, Veron went to the Premier League.
Of course, Veron didn't mix up in the Premier League, that's another story.
"On the other hand, the tactical environment in Italy has not kept up with the current trends and trends."
"The current mainstream trend in European football is to adopt more proactive tactics, including the current mainstream 4231 in La Liga, which is essentially grasping the initiative of the game and taking high pressure to suppress the opponent."
"European competitions fully adopt the away goal system, which is to encourage attack, and the offside rules will definitely be changed in the future, or to further encourage attack, but what about Italy? They still cling to their 1-0 doctrine. ”
"The tactical environment in Italy is quite unfriendly to all talented and creative players, to put it mildly, what happened to Ronaldo at Inter Milan, how many people are not chilled to watch?"
With such a lesson from the past, if those geniuses have a choice, will they dare to go?
Even if they go and kick out, will they not want to leave?
If you want money without money, if you want the environment without an environment, if you want grades and no achievements, why keep it?
'The last one, I think, is the Premier League.
"Yes." Lillo agreed, "The mini-World Cup that we talk about a lot is probably from the late 80s. ”
"Throughout the seventies and eighties, European football was almost the world of League One, but with the total ban of League One teams after the Heysel tragedy, Italy began to take over this wave of stars who were originally going to League One, which led to the prosperity of the mini-World Cup."
"But now, the Premier League is back!"
Yang Hao has been coaching in Spain for two years, and has been in contact with many practitioners in European football, and almost all of them will not deny the leading role of top giants in the league.
For example, the teams in the Premier League basically recognize Manchester United, especially since the wave of trends since 99, to a certain extent, it is led by Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds United and other teams to follow up.
In La Liga, no one would deny that Real Madrid and Barcelona are leading the way in La Liga.
The better and more competitive the big team, the more attractive the league will be.
And one thing, many people may not have noticed, in the seventies and eighties, during the heyday of League One, La Liga ranked second; From the nineties to the present, in the heyday of Serie A, La Liga is still ranked second; In the future, after the Premier League is in its prime, La Liga is still in second place.
If you want to talk about stability, La Liga is really as stable as an old dog.
When it comes to supporting the development of the football industry, Spain has always been unwilling to be left behind.
For example, the most famous Beckham law is that all foreign players can be reduced by half of their personal income tax in previous years after they come to Spain.
What an amazing concession!
If Yang Hao is not mistaken, this should be the first league in Europe's top league to introduce relevant policies, right?
Even, it seems to be the only one.
Standing in 2023, looking back, the best thing the Premier League has done is globalization.
La Liga can't be slow in this regard, because Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and other teams are all active in going overseas, but Spanish is not as popular as English, and La Liga has indeed encountered bottlenecks in its development.
For example, why are there the Western Super Double?
Like now, Real Madrid and Barcelona don't have that big a lead at all.
Real Madrid do have some advantages this season, but the other teams are not without a fight.
But what happened next?
All the teams faced Real Madrid and Barcelona and almost didn't have to play.
This has led many to say that the derby of the century determines the ownership of the championship.
In that case, why should fans go to other games, just watch the derby of the century?
Or, I just watch the Real Madrid vs Barcelona game, right?
As a result, the broadcast fees of Real Madrid and Barcelona are getting higher and higher, and the other teams in La Liga are all packaged, which are far inferior to these two giants, and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening rapidly, which leads to the purchasing power of the two giants getting stronger and stronger.
This creates a vicious circle.
In response to this, Yang Hao has actually mentioned it to Cerezo and Xiao Hill, thinking that it is necessary to take advantage of the fact that the overseas copyright has not yet come out, and to take advantage of the fact that the gap in La Liga broadcast fees is not obvious, and decisively reform the broadcast fee sharing model.
Yang Hao proposed that La Liga should learn from the practice of the Premier League, package sales, and then negotiate a set of sharing models.
For this, Yang Hao held several meetings with Xiao Ciel and Cerezo, as well as several major executives of the club, and finally persuaded them.
Atletico have already begun to convince other La Liga teams to be able to assemble the majority and put pressure on Real Madrid and Barcelona.
From the current point of view, the difficulty is much smaller than in ten years.
On the one hand, the Premier League is just getting started, but the model is worth learning from; On the other hand, Real Madrid and Barcelona have not completely left other teams to fly alone, and their interests have not been damaged much.
Another point is that Yang Hao asked Atletico Madrid to come forward and propose that La Liga should coordinate and each team go abroad every summer to open up overseas markets, whether it is the Middle East, Asia, North America and other regions.
Even, in the future, the Copa del Rey and the Super Cup can be played overseas.
This is a model for the Premier League to open up overseas markets in the coming years, and it is very effective.
And Yang Hao believes that through this collective action, actively develop overseas markets to make up for the loss of broadcasting rights of Real Madrid and Barcelona, I believe that the two giants can still be convinced.
Yang Hao told Cerezo and Little Hill at the time that now was the best time.
"It's like we're diverting water for irrigation, and we have to dig the ditch before we can open the sluice gate to release water, otherwise, as soon as the water comes in, it will be flooded, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"This ditch must be dug quickly, otherwise when this wave of floods passes, there will be no water outside, and you will dig it in vain."
"Once Real Madrid and Barcelona get out of the path of globalization on their own, they have tasted the sweetness and made a lot of profits, and then you want to make them spit out, do you think it is possible?"
Both Cerezo and Little Hill were persuaded by Yang Hao.
Therefore, in recent times, Atletico Madrid has been running around in Spain, even including Real Madrid and Barcelona, are in close contact, and the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga are also working non-stop to finalize a set of rules as soon as possible.
In addition, Yang Hao also discussed Real Madrid's sports city model with Cerezo and Little Hill.
The Mahada Hongda training base is too far from the city to be worth much.
The Calderón Stadium is worth a lot of money, and according to Atletico's original plan, the stadium could be sold to the municipality for a large sum of money and then a new football stadium could be built.
In Yang Hao's previous life, Atletico Madrid later sold his land to raise funds to pay off the debt for the new stadium, but at that time, Spain's economy was not as good as before, so it didn't sell it at a good price.
"The next few years are the best time!"
Once you miss it, it's really hard.
……
After the first group stage of the Champions League, the national leagues were reactivated.
Serie A ushered in the fourth round of matches, and Juventus took on Lecce away.
As a result, both teams were tied with zeros.
Lippi's side failed to score on the road, and even sent off in the second half when centre-back Montero received a red card, marking the second consecutive game in which Juventus have received a red card.
Nedved played the full game again in this game.
This is also Lippi's rotation mechanism.
This kind of continuous weekly double matches, which can only rotate players non-stop, Nedved has just arrived, so Lippi arranged for him to play in Serie A.
It's just that Davis won't be at Calderón Field.
La Liga has scored a lot of goals in this round.
Barcelona beat Tenerife 2-0 at home, Real Madrid beat Espanyol 5-1 at home, Deportivo beat Alaves 3-2 and Valencia drew 2-2 away at Athletic Bilbao.
Only Atletico Madrid, facing Osasuna at home, although Yang Hao's team scored a goal by Kaka, but McConn's own goal in the second half caused the team to suffer a draw.
1-1, Atletico failed to win Osasuna in the end.
At the end of this round, Real Madrid led with 4 consecutive wins, while Atletico Madrid got 7 points and ranked 9th.
Almost all the media believe that the two-front battle has had a huge impact on Atletico.
One of the most intuitive phenomena is that Yang Hao had to rotate a lot, resulting in having to arrange younger players to play in La Liga.
Of course, this is not a special case.
Valencia is even worse and is now in 11th place.
The newspaper El Pais believes that the main reason for a situation similar to Atletico Madrid and Valencia is that the team's bench lineup is not strong enough, and it is difficult to maintain a two-line operation.
When Real Madrid can easily solve the game with Solari, Munitis, Guti and others, Atletico Madrid can only rely on young people to push, is it possible to let Adriano, Simeone, Baraja, Deco and others continue to rotate like this?
When players get tired to a certain point, injuries become inevitable.
is similar to Yang Hao's current situation, which is actually not unusual.
In his previous life, Everton in the Premier League was like that.
David Moyes's team took off as long as they played on a single front, and once they entered the European competition and started to play on two fronts, their results were immediately affected.
It's hard to get into the Champions League, it's impossible to say that if you don't fight in the group stage, you just give up, right?
After being held to a draw by Osasuna at home, Yang Hao did not blame any players, including McConn, who scored an own goal.
The next day, after the team's recovery training, Yang Hao also held an internal meeting.
"I know it's very difficult and stressful right now."
"It's a very different pressure from last season when we were fighting for the title in La Liga, against Real Madrid."
"But I want to say that I still believe in you."
'We got through the most difficult part of last season and after that test we came out stronger; This season will be even more difficult because last season there was always a week of rest between our midweek European games. ”
'But so far this season, from the start of the league until now, we haven't even had a midweek break.
From August 19 to now, Atletico Madrid have literally played every three days, and there are even two weeks of international matches in between.
Yang Hao even dared to say that looking at the entire European football world, there is no team as hard as Atletico Madrid.
"But I'm still the same sentence, hold on, get through it, we'll get better and stronger!"
The rest of the schedule is still difficult.
Juventus on September 26, La Liga 5th round on September 30, La Liga 6th round on October 3, La Liga 7th round on October 7, La Liga 8th round on October 13, and Juventus away in the Champions League group stage on October 16.
Yes, during the national team competition training period in October, the league did not stop and continued to liver.
And between October 7 and 13, the national team did not stop, and all games were arranged, some were World Cup qualifiers, some were friendly matches, this is the national team match day stipulated by FIFA, and the club has to release people.
As early as the beginning of the season, when Yang Hao saw this schedule, he really felt why Vivian Fu died suddenly, because the game was too dense and the pressure was too great.
It's a terrible rhythm!
Moreover, La Liga now has 20 teams, and there are only 18 teams in both Serie A and Bundesliga.
Therefore, the league is different from the league.
But since the schedule is like this, Atletico will have to rise to the occasion.
……
"We can't go on like this."
Back in the head coach's office, Yang Hao said against Lillo.
He could clearly feel that the morale of the players was slipping.
It's not because the team's results are too bad, it's because they're too tired and under too much pressure.
It's like a part-time worker, working overtime day and night every day, and his mental state can be good, that's a strange thing.
Yang Hao can clearly feel that the mental state of the players is getting worse and worse.
Although he rotated, he made several substitutions at a time, and it was impossible to replace the entire starting lineup.
So, there's still a lot of pressure on the players.
"yes, we have to figure it out." Liluo looked at Yang Hao.
If he had any idea, he would have proposed it a long time ago.
Yang Hao looked at Parales, "The two psychiatrists from the University of Madrid want to come back, and in the future, they will simply let them sit in the club for a long time, and they will be the team doctors to the outside world." ”
Today's professional football is still relatively conservative, and the team hires a psychologist, and I am afraid that it will cause an uproar.
Yang Hao still decided to treat it cold.
"Understood." Parrales nodded in agreement.
"We need a big morale-boosting win!"
A morale-boosting victory?
Lello and Parales looked at each other, both a little surprised.
"You mean, when you play Juventus?"
Yang Hao didn't answer, but the answer was obvious.
"Isn't it a bit of a risk?" Ellio has always been cautious.
Juventus have always been good at defending, and Atletico took risks, and if it didn't work out, the Bianconeri would have a chance and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"It's a risk." Yang Hao has already made a decision.
"What do you think, with our current morale, if we continue to drag on like this, by mid-October?"
The league continues, but the international players are leaving, how to play?
If you continue to drag on like this, if there is a big crash at that time, the whole season will be over.
"Are you sure?" Llellio asked.
Yang Hao smiled, "Be sure, is that still called adventure?" ”
In Yang Hao's view, now his bargaining chip is two consecutive wins in the group, even if the risk fails, the big deal is to give up the top spot in the group to Juventus, but if the risk is successful, the team can greatly boost morale.
Thinking of this, Yang Hao no longer hesitated and looked at Parales.
"Go get me Van der Sar."
……
Van der Sar will soon be 30 years old.
But he feels that he is still in very good shape.
The goalkeeper is a position that has a long life and relies on experience, and there have always been very few talented players, but as they get older, there are many old monsters who are getting more and more experienced and performing better and better.
Van der Sar feels he has a few more years to play.
Especially after last season's La Liga and UEFA Cup double, he sees hope.
This Atletico team has the potential to help him get back to the top!
Because of this, Van der Sar, although he is older, still respects Yang Hao very much.
As soon as he heard Yang Hao calling him, the Dutch door god immediately came over.
"Sit, Edwin." Yang Hao warmly beckoned Van der Sar to come in and sit.
But this time, he didn't have a polite greeting, because time is precious.
"I'm looking for you this time to ask you a question." Yang Hao looked at Van der Sar and said.
"You say."
"Remember, when we met in Switzerland, you said something to me."
Van der Sar listened very attentively, he said a lot that day, but he couldn't remember which sentence.
"You say, you want to try to take a step back and then try to move forward."
Van der Sar remembered, "Yes. ”
"Now, I want to know, are you ready to move forward?" Yang Hao stared at Van der Sar and asked.
The Dutch door god was slightly stunned, but immediately nodded heavily: "It's done, always ready." ”
'When you play Juventus on Wednesday, I need you to put in your best, no, better than your best, better than when you were at Ajax.
Yang Hao said his considerations.
Van der Sar is 30 years old and has a lot of career experience, he reached the peak of his life at Ajax, and he also encountered a career trough at Juventus, so Yang Hao believes that Van der Sar will understand and understand.
Atletico are in desperate need of a morale-boosting victory.
Van der Sar himself needs the same.
Because, he once fell very painfully at Juventus, and even made him completely lose confidence at one point.
Now, he has the opportunity to pick up the confidence that was lost in the Bianconeri, piece by piece, and put it back together.
'I understand, the two centre-backs are going to help me.' Van der Sar said cheerfully.
Yang Hao nodded, "I'll ask Simeone to help you too." ”
"Yes."
Van der Sack paused before adding: "I need a detailed video of Trezeguet's shot. ”
"I've asked them to prepare." Yang Hao had already guessed, "There are also Piero and Salas." ”
"I know Piero." Van der Sar said.
Seeing this, Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Win Juventus, we have to break into the second stage of the group stage, and even go on." ”
"And you, Edwin, you should let those who questioned you and looked down on you back then get to know you again!"
Van der Sar still had no expression, as cold as ever, "That's what I thought in my heart, too." ”
But resolutely!
……
On the evening of September 26, Calderón Stadium in Madrid.
In the third round of the first group stage of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid hosted Juventus.
Lippi still adopts a 442 formation in this game.
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon;
Defence: Pexoto, Montero, Thuram and Billindeli;
Midfielders: Nedved, Tacinati, Tudor and Zambrotta;
Forwards: Piero and Trezeguet.
Van der Sar stood in front of the goal line, just put on his gloves, patted hard, took a deep breath, and looked into the distance.
The players of both teams set up their positions.
Van der Sar can see Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Gianluigi Gianluigi Buffon from afar.
He chose to leave Juventus last summer because Moggi wanted to sign Gianluigi Buffon.
It was a knot in his heart.
Tonight, at the Stade Calderón, he wants to prove to the world that he is not inferior to Gianluigi Buffon!
As soon as he thought of this, Van der Sar's whole person suddenly calmed down.
With the referee's whistle, Juventus took the lead in attacking.
The left-sided attack, consisting of Pesoto, Nedved and Piero, was very active from the start, directly attacking the heart of Atletico Madrid, especially Piero, who dribbled the ball straight to the left side of the penalty area.
"Lucio, go up and stand up to him." Van der Sar shouted calmly.
Before the words could be spoken, Lucio had already rushed over.
Facing Lucio, Piero pulled the ball sideways with a deft hand and hit the goal with his feet.
A brilliant curling ball flew out from the feet of the zebra prince.
"Juventus took the lead in sounding the horn of attack."
"Piero, in the most familiar area of Piero, curled with his right foot."
Van der Sar had already guessed that he would do this, and quickly took two steps to the left, and the whole person leaped forward, stretching his left hand as far forward as possible.
Bang!
Van der Sar clearly felt his palm touching Piero's shot.
The ball was blocked by Van der Sar, slid past the goalkeeper and went off the line.
"Beautiful save!"
"A great save from Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar!"
'The Dutch goalkeeper had previously played for Juventus but was sold to Atletico Madrid by Juventus after a terrible performance, but it seems that he is holding his back tonight and wants to prove himself in front of his old club.
The live TV camera was also shown in front of the goal, and when Van der Sar got up from the grass, he still looked very calm and did not have any unusual emotions.
Calderón's Atletico fans gave him the most applause, but the Dutch goalkeeper remained unmoved.
This is what he has always done.
He is able to stay focused and not be easily interrupted.
Juventus took a corner, but this time Van der Sar decisively dropped the ball and plucked it out in mid-air.
The Dutchman grabbed the ball and rushed to the sidelines, trying to throw it to his team-mates quickly, but when he saw that Juventus wanted to press, he decisively chose to give up.
"Go forward, all up!" Van der Sar shouted, his right hand still motioning for his teammates to move forward.
Juventus quickly returned to the halfway line.
The Bianconeri's intentions are clear enough that they want to get off to a better start on the road.
Just over two minutes later, Juventus' offensive was back in action.
Piero retreated, received a pass from Zambrotta on the right, and relied on his skill and dexterity to turn away from Simeone and pass the ball with his left foot into the left side of the penalty area.
Nedved quickly cut diagonally to the left side of the Atletico penalty area, and without waiting for Lucio to lean over, he got up directly and fired a furious shot.
But Van der Sar had already stuck in position, fell directly to his knees and hugged the ball.
It was like a shot in Van der Sar's arms.
Once again, there was a round of applause at Calderón Stadium.
Van der Sar got up from the ground and looked to his right, then to his left.
Juventus don't seem to want to pull back.
The Bianconeri are at Calderón tonight, more like a head start.
Van der Sar quickly ran forward and tossed the ball directly to Carvalho in front of him.
Carvalho caught up with the ball and distributed the ball to the left without waiting for Trezeguet to get close.
Aurelio dribbled the ball forward, and before he reached the halfway line, he saw Zambrotta come up and immediately distributed the ball to Deco, and he rushed forward very resolutely and quickly.
As soon as Deco stopped the ball, Aurelio rushed past him.
Just when everyone thought Deco would pass the ball to Aurelio, the Brazilian midfielder gave the ball to Vicente, who was unguarded on the left flank.
Vicente stuck to the left touchline and stopped the ball forward, and Billindelli had no choice but to go up to defend Vicente.
Tudor also realized the danger of Aurelio, and immediately turned around and chased back.
But where is Tudor's speed as fast as Vicente's pick?
Billindeli rushed halfway down the road and before Tudor could catch up with Aurelio, Vicente's cross was already behind the defence, and Aurelio rushed into the left side of the box to catch Vicente's pass.
The cunning Brazilian didn't pick up the ball in the first place, but instead glanced down the middle, where Thuram was lunging towards him.
Aurelio waited until the ball hit the ground and bounced off before he caught up with a cross.
The ball went past Thuram and into the middle of Juventus' six-yard box.
Everything happened very quickly, and when Montero saw Thuram La going out to defend Aurelio, he wanted to lean in to make up for it, but as soon as the thought came to him, the ball came.
His instinctive first reaction was to judge where the ball would land, and there was no one around to catch up.
The ball should be flying towards itself.
After Montero judged the way of the ball, he immediately looked at Atletico Madrid's center Adriano.
Just now, the Brazilian center forward was still near the top of the arc of the penalty area.
But at this glance, Montero was shocked.
Because Adriano had already killed him.
How can it be so fast?
Montero instinctively tried to get stuck, but Adriano rushed up from behind and sprinted to the left of Montero, exactly the direction in which the ball bounced off the ground.
The Juventus centre-back desperately stretched out his hand to pull Adriano, but the Brazilian centre-forward gritted his teeth and reached out to block Montero, and with his body a little unbalanced, his right foot was still firmly rooted in the grass, and his left foot flew quickly.
Bang!!!
Adriano's left-footed sturdy shot into Aurelio's cross and the ball turned in one direction and went straight to the right of the Juventus goal with lightning speed.
The whole process happened in an instant, and after Buffon reacted, the whole person pounced on the right side of the goal.
But Adriano had a quicker shot on goal.
That shot poured the Brazilian center's whole body into the body, as if it was about to shoot through the net completely.
In an instant, more than 50,000 Atletico Madrid fans rushed out of their seats in the stands at Calderón Stadium, and everyone cheered in unison, followed by shouting Adriano's name.
After the Brazilian center's shot, his body was completely unbalanced by Montero, but when he saw the football in goal, he jumped up from the grass in excitement, yelled, turned and ran.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"Just eight minutes into the game, Atletico Aurelio sent a wonderful pass from the left to assist Adriano to score."
"1 to 0!"
Adriano sprinted out of the pitch and sprinted all the way out of bounds.
At this time, the other Atletico Madrid players in the stadium also rushed out.
Except for goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, everyone, including the players on the bench, rushed to the sidelines with Adriano, one after the other, shoulder to shoulder, while pulling up the jersey on his body, and then holding hands together.
"Together!"
"We have nothing to fear!!"
Live TV footage swept over the courtside scene before switching to the stands.
Only then did everyone find out that the other players of the first team of Atletico Madrid, even those of the second team, were sitting in the stands at this moment, and they all saw the slogans on the group of teammates in the stadium.
The whole Calderón stadium is completely boiling!
All the Atletico fans are shouting wildly.
"In recent times, the pressure on Atletico Madrid has been very high, the team's results are not particularly ideal, and the league ranking has fallen to 9th.
"Even, they even dug up Yang Hao's successor, which is Aragonés of Real Mallorca."
"But Aragonés clarified that he has not had any contact with Atletico Madrid, and he does not think that Atletico Madrid has any possibility of changing managers at this time."
"The league has just begun, and Atletico Madrid, who have been attacking from multiple fronts, have faced unprecedented challenges."
"But at this moment, Yang Hao and his players insist on using this goal, and even this game, to prove their determination and fighting spirit!"
"Together, we have nothing to fear!"
"This is not only the players shouting, but also the voice of head coach Yang Hao."
I'm sorry! Broken promise! I reflect deeply on myself, but I am really out of shape in the last two days, and I won't say anything about the reasons, it's all my own problems, and I reflect on it.
