When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the entire Calderón stadium erupted in cheers.

The Atletico players on the pitch were all crazily hugging each other, and they were all happy.

The fans in the stands were getting carried away in celebration.

They have always believed that Atletico will be able to equalize, they will be able to turn it around.

Yang Hao has never lost in his home field, and this time will be no exception!

Sure enough, they were right.

Yang Hao raised his fists high, and his heart was just as excited.

Because the opponent of this game is Super Laco!

But he had to admit that the pace of progress of the likes of Kaka, Torres, Evra and McCone was completely unexpected.

Even several players in the midfield, Xavi Alonso, Cambiasso and others, have shown very good strength after the experience of this season.

What a genius!

They are all geniuses!

Give them a chance, give them time, let them hone in on it, and they will shine brightly before you know it!

From last season to now, Yang Hao has been cultivating them, and now, they have also given Yang Hao a reward.

'I can't imagine what we would have been like this season without this group of players. Juanma Lillo exclaimed, full of amazement.

This group of young players made mistakes, even serious mistakes, but they adjusted quickly.

Now, they are all beginning to have a certain strength, and some of them can even take charge on their own.

What they lack is experience and long-term consistency.

But these are common problems for all young players, and no one can avoid them.

Yang Hao can no longer put forward higher requirements for this group of young players in the team.

Because they're good enough!

……

Irueta was clearly disappointed with the defeat in this game.

After the game, when Yang Hao took the initiative to shake hands with him, he just shook it very perfunctorily and left.

On the contrary, it was Belleron and other players who came over to meet Yang Hao and chatted a few words by the way.

'You're improving every season and this group of young players is great. Belleron exclaimed with a smile.

Yang Hao didn't know if Belleron regretted choosing to leave Atletico Madrid when he said this.

Maybe there is, maybe not, but none of that matters.

With his character, he would not leave A Coruña easily again.

But Capdevilla and Molina can see their remorse, because if they hadn't left the team, they should have won now, and they were the ones who won the quadruple such as La Liga and the League Cup.

What's the solution?

At the beginning, Yang Hao really wanted to keep them, but they wanted to leave.

Now, Atletico Madrid has Patrice Evra and Aurelio on the left, the latter is a Brazilian international, if there is no accident, he will definitely play in the World Cup, Evra's form this season is also a strong recovery, and the call for selection for the French national team is not low.

In this case, even if Capdevilla is willing to return, Atletico will not be able to pay a transfer fee for him.

As for Molina, not to mention.

Van der Sar has been one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga and European football in the last two seasons.

Cech's performance in the Czech league was also very impressive.

In this case, where is the place of Molina?

But what Yang Hao didn't expect was that Irueta fired directly at Atletico Madrid at the post-match press conference.

He believes that Atletico's victory is based on a conservative defensive counter-attack.

The Deportivo coach insisted that his side had won the process and could walk out of the Calderón Stadium with pride despite the loss.

On the contrary, Yang Hao, whether it was passive in the first half or conservative in the second half, is sorry for the fans of the home team.

It can be summed up in one sentence: Irueta is unwilling to lose.

When Yang Hao came out of the locker room and was about to go to a press conference, he received a relay from Andrew Barrasco.

Yang Hao was not satisfied with Iruetta's words.

He can understand that Irueta wants to boost the morale of the team, but Atletico also needs it.

In recent times, with such a dense schedule and one game after another, who is not under pressure?

So, Yang Hao asked Barrasco to make arrangements.

The first question of the press conference was how Yang Hao responded to Iruetta's accusations that Atletico were "conservative"?

"Atletico conservative? Where is the conservatism? We've always been one of the top scorers in La Liga, okay? ”

"Don't talk with your eyes open, it's hard to play attacking football."

"Moreover, we are not the kind of team that plays blindly, I have been coaching this team for three years, and I am the one who knows best what the situation of the team is."

"We've been sticking to attacking football for so many years, okay? Where is the conservatism? ”

"Ahem, sometimes find your own reasons, okay? After so many years, the tactics have not changed, have you seriously prepared for war, okay? ”

"We've all scored so many goals and say we're conservative, I'm going crazy!"

After Yang Hao complained about Irueta, he shifted the topic back to the team.

For this game, Yang Hao insisted that Atletico Madrid did not play conservatively.

"At least, we didn't have two lethal defenders in midfield, did we?"

When the on-site media reporters heard this, they immediately took notes: this place clearly connotates Irueta.

Yang Hao expressed great satisfaction with the team's young players, and he insisted that the team's outstanding performance in recent times is inseparable from the contributions of this group of young players.

'I'm very happy with the situation in the squad at the moment, whether it's the young players, the main players or the old players, we are in a very harmonious, very stable situation and it makes us all comfortable.

Yang Hao said that young players still need to continue to grow and will definitely make mistakes in the future, but he will continue to create opportunities for them.

……

After Atletico Madrid's 2-1 reversal of Deportivo La Coruna, the Spanish media also generally gave high praise.

In particular, several young players in the squad, whether it is Torres, Kaka or Reyes, have shown very high potential and have made everyone's eyes shine.

Marca newspaper even believes that Atletico's group of young players are attacking the main position in the first team.

"Here, we have to remind everyone that Atletico's first-team squad is already the youngest team in the four major leagues on average.

"But now, this group of youngsters, even under 20, is preparing to start grabbing power."

Marca believes that Atletico Madrid's young players rely on Yang Hao's recruitment strategy and tuning.

Especially the use of them in the last two seasons.

Reyes and Torres, for example, both performed well last season and have continued their excellent performances this season, and even went one step further, showing the potential in them.

There's also Kaka, arguably one of the most eye-catching rookies in La Liga so far this season, and although he doesn't score as many goals as Torres, Kaka's role is not reflected in the goals.

It's more about the kind of impact he has on the opposing defence.

De la Morena said in the program that as Kaka, who can play with both feet, he can accurately find a way to the big penalty area from any position on the court, and attack from this road with his great speed, which is Kaka's strongest point.

De la Morena believes that Yang Hao made two tactical adjustments in the game against Deportivo La Coruna, first from 433 to 4312, and then to 4321, which fully reflects Yang Hao's tactical adjustment changes.

Especially in the final 4321, despite the technical midfielders such as Xavi Alonso, Cambiasso and Marcos Senna, Atletico's defense remained solid.

"Dejaminha has been able to penetrate Atletico's midfield defence several times with the ball, and the defensive level can be seen."

Of course, de la Morena admits that this is also the reason why Irueta accused Yang Hao of being conservative.

Without a full-time defensive midfielder, they were able to organize a solid defensive formation and the counter-attack was very sharp, and Atletico's style of play made a good impression.

Only Oscar, the gold medal writer of the newspaper As, still expressed his solidarity with Irueta in his column, and also called on Atletico Madrid to bring back Paul Futre as soon as possible.

Because, the current group of young players in the Atletico Madrid team were all signed by Paul Futrey when he was the sporting director.

"He is the number one contributor to Atletico's transformation!"

Previously, Oscar also accused Yang Hao in his column many times and supported Paul Futtrey.

But this time, the Portuguese finally couldn't sit still.

He was interviewed by Radio Serre and publicly said that Atletico Madrid's current success has nothing to do with him, and more with Yang Hao.

"Yes, we're still very good friends, and he sometimes calls me to ask me for help, and so do I."

"I think everyone seriously underestimates the importance of Yang Hao to this Atletico Madrid team, in fact, he is the most indispensable person for Atletico Madrid, because the current whole team, and even the reform of the management mechanism, Yang Hao plays a pivotal role."

"Many people who deal with Atletico must have felt that Atletico Madrid is now much more efficient, and the level of professionalism is second to none not only in La Liga, but in the whole of European football."

"This kind of change was initiated by Yang Hao."

Paul Futrey also mentioned the reinforcements, saying that all the signings of Atletico Madrid in the past two years were basically hand-picked by Yang Hao.

"Yes, I'm still shocked because he's always able to pick out players who are obscure but have a lot of potential, like Kaka, like Adriano, but also Torres, Reyes and so on."

"I don't know how he did it, maybe that's what makes him different, but he's really amazing."

And Paul Futrey then broke the news for the first time that LINE, a software that changed Atletico Madrid's work habits, was also related to Yang Hao.

"I know, you must be extremely surprised, but many of you don't know that LINE, a very popular software in Europe, has a very, very large number of users in Europe, not only teams, fans, but also companies, and many people, I heard that the valuation has exceeded 10 million."

"Yes, it was made by Yang Hao looking for someone."

This interview with Paul Futrey not only slapped Oscar in the face, but also shocked the world again, because many people, many companies, are using this software.

It really works well, especially the group chat feature.

Who would have thought that it would be made by Yang Hao.

The starting point is simply that the communication efficiency within the Atletico team is too low.

In the face of such a versatile and at the same time mysterious La Liga manager, what media and TV station would not want to find out?

Even authoritative media and institutions such as national television, Sky Sports, Bild and team newspapers have called Atletico Madrid, hoping to make an appointment for an interview with Yang Hao.

But Yang Hao rejected them all.

The reason is simple: "I'm just a manager!" ”

It was only at this moment that everyone suddenly discovered that except for his girlfriend who was more diligent, Yang Hao really didn't have any news, which was unbelievably low-key, but it was also full of mystery.

This makes people even more eager to dig and explore further.

As for Paul Futrley's praise of Yang Hao, it is actually easy to prove.

Kaka's father came forward to be interviewed, saying that the reason why Kaka joined Atletico Madrid was because Yang Hao personally went to Brazil to sign Kaka, and introduced in great detail the process of Yang Hao's optimism about Kaka.

"He told me he was going to develop Kaka into the best player in the world."

"Really, I didn't fully believe his words before, but now, I do."

and Adriano's father, who also said that Yang Hao was the core reason for Adriano's transfer to Atletico Madrid, and also praised Yang Hao in front of the media as the best head coach in the world, which helped their family a lot.

Yang Hao privately paid out of his own pocket to treat Adriano's father's illness, and it also spread quickly through Adriano's father's mouth.

It was also at this moment that everyone knew that Yang Hao had done so many things silently without anyone paying attention.

This kind of plot that has been concealed for a long time, and the answer is suddenly revealed, although it is a bit rotten, but it is also very spreading, and in a very short period of time, Yang Hao's name quickly spread all over the world.

Yang Hao's name has also been mentioned again and again by media and fans around the world.

This forced Yang Hao to reiterate at the press conference before the team traveled to Turin, Italy, to challenge Juventus away.

"I won't answer any questions that have nothing to do with football and games."

But he couldn't control the overwhelming public opinion outside.

Everyone knows that this time, Yang Hao is completely on fire!

……

October 17, Stadio Alp in Turin, Italy.

In the fourth round of the first group stage of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid challenged Juventus away.

At the beginning of the game, the always mild-mannered Lippi was so angry on the sidelines that he almost went violent.

Because Yang Hao once again put on a three-back formation of 433 in this game.

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar;

Defence: Aurelio, Carvalho, Lucio and Belletti;

Midfielders: Cambiasso, Xavi Alonso and Diego Simeone form a back three;

Centre-forwards: Diego Forlan, Adriano and Joaquin.

It's shameless!

"Didn't he say he played offensive football?"

Lippi sat in the dugout, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Why?

Because the current group situation is very bad for Juventus.

As it stands, Juventus are still second in the group, but if Porto can't win Atletico at home and Porto win Celtic at home, then Juventus will fall to third.

Then the next most important finale is Juventus' home game against Porto.

Juventus will be driven off the cliff.

Lippi has always been known for his prudence, and if he had the choice, he would never have put his team on his back.

But now, Yang Hao clearly anticipated Lippi's thoughts, so he directly posed for the third back.

At this moment, Lippi seemed to see Yang Hao standing in front of his goal, hooking his finger at him: Come here!

"Irueta scolded him rightly, conservative, obscene, shameless!"

Lippi is now full of bitterness.

What Juventus do best is defend and counter-attack.

But now, Atletico are forced to play positional battles.

After the opening, Lippi wanted to play some tackles, but Atletico Madrid had two quick counter-attacks in a row, which put a lot of pressure on Juventus.

Davies returned to partner with Tacchinati in a double midfield, plus Nedved and Zambrotta, Juventus' midfield was indeed strong, but Atletico Madrid's counter-attack was faster.

Adriano and Forlan both came close to breaking through the Juventus backline on both occasions.

Atletico's sharp counterattack is like a sword of Damocles at the throat of the Bianconeri.

'The main problem of our attack is still on the wings, there is a serious lack of impact. Pezzotti analyzed.

Lippi nodded, "I guessed it in the summer, but this year I have bought so many people, they say, there is no budget." ”

Zambrotta is very well-rounded indeed, and his performances at left and right wing-backs have attracted a lot of attention as early as Barry's play, and he can even play as a midfielder and central midfielder.

But another word for comprehensiveness is mediocrity.

At Juventus, Zambrotta plays mostly as a right wing-back and occasionally as a left-sided midfielder, and he is characterized by being even, and it is difficult to surprise people, and don't expect him to open up for you on the wing.

His defense is excellent, but his offense, especially his ability to break through, is average.

In this case, it is really difficult for Juventus to threaten on the right side, and the combination of Zambrotta and Billindelli has never been able to support Juventus' attack on the right side.

The situation is similar on the left, with Pexoto getting older and Nedved not the kind of player who can open up the situation with his own skills, which makes it difficult for Juventus to dominate both flanks.

Fans familiar with Serie A will surely know that Serie A has a very strange tradition, which is that they generally do not value the wings.

There is a saying in Italian football: no matter how well you play on the wing, you have to return to the middle to score goals.

Therefore, Italy's tactics have always been to stick to the middle.

But the most interesting thing is that if you want to win the championship, you often need to create a wide attacking advantage.

As an old fox in Serie A, Lippi naturally knows this.

Juventus' current squad is barely enough in Serie A, but in the Champions League, it is obviously not enough.

Because these teams are better on the wings.

It's like tonight, Atletico's counterattack is to play exclusively on the wing.

If Juventus want to score, they have to press out and attack; Once pressed out, the back line will definitely loosen, and it will be easy to be counterattacked by Atletico; If you are afraid of being beaten back, you have to weaken the attack in the front court; Weakened offense, how to win......

Now, in Juventus's midfield, the stronger individual abilities are Piero and Davies.

But the latter is not very good with Lippi now, and the Zebra Prince is fighting continuously......

'I'm starting to think now that Zambrotta is still not suitable for playing in midfield, because with his technical characteristics and ability, he doesn't have an advantage in midfield, but when he plays full-back, the advantage comes out.

Lippi said to Pezzotti, "But right now, we don't have a man on the right side of the midfield, and it's a problem. ”

'Verona's right side is good, Camoranesi and Odo, both 25 years old, and their striker Mutu has been doing really well this season. Pezzotti suggested.

Lippi looked at his assistant and couldn't help but laugh, "It's useless for you to tell me this, you have to be able to convince Moji." ”

……

Lippi soon stopped laughing.

Especially when the score of 0-0 went into the second half.

As time passed, the Juventus fans began to get nervous, and the shouts of the fans appeared in the stands one after another, and it was obvious that they were also starting to sit still.

In the 55th minute, Lippi turned his head and looked at the visitors' dugout.

The result?

Yang Hao, who used to stand in front of the coach's seat to direct the game, sat in the coach's seat throughout the game, giving people a feeling of sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai.

On the pitch, Atletico Madrid also played steadily.

Juventus' most threatening chances of the game came from Piero.

But it was still difficult to break through Atletico's goal.

Lippi didn't hesitate any longer and made the decision to make a substitution immediately.

Salas replaces Tacinati.

The three strikers are on the pitch, so they can always pick up some opportunities, right?

Yang Hao noticed the movement of the home team's coach's bench and smiled slightly, this is an old traditional skill of the Italian head coach.

If you can't attack for a long time, you will pile up forwards.

In that game against Celtic, Lippi even used four strikers.

"Let Mauricio replace Joaquin."

Yang Hao turned his head sideways and said against Juanma Lillo.

Mauricio Pochettino has also just returned from the national team, scoring a goal in Argentina's 2-2 draw with Paraguay in the South American qualifiers for the World Cup.

The Bielsa's place in the Argentine national team is not secure, mainly because of the abundance of talent in the Argentine national team.

Samuel, Ayala, Berizzo and others are all famous players in European football, and Pochettino has always been a substitute player before, or replacing Samuel, or replacing Ayala in the center of the Argentine 3313 lineup.

This time, Yang Hao let Pochettino go up, and also let him play in the center of the back.

Since his impressive performances at Atletico last season, Pochettino's place in the Argentine national team has become even more important.

This can be regarded as a boost that Yang Hao brought to him.

Sometimes, the manager is like that, and sometimes it's fate.

Argentina has now lost one of the dozen games in the World Cup qualifiers, still to Brazil, but recently they have won back, drawing three and winning 12.

Bielsa has played 33 games in more than two years in charge of the Argentine national team, with 21 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses.

Most of the draws and defeats were concentrated in '99 when he first took charge.

Therefore, the whole world now believes that Bielsa's team is definitely the number one favorite to win the World Cup in '02.

This is really universally recognized.

On the contrary, Brazil played a bumpy game in the qualifiers, and Scolari was also criticized and blamed.

But who would have thought?

What if Ayala and Vivas hadn't been injured before the World Cup?

Perhaps, Bielsa and his 3313 will create another classic tactic in the history of world football.

While Yang Hao was thinking, Pochettino had already finished warming up and walked over.

"When we go up, we change the line-up and play a back five, and you tell Aurelio, go forward a little bit more and let Simeone keep an eye on Davies and Nedved." Yang Hao admonished.

"Understood." Pochettino tossed his trademark long hair and went on the pitch.

Davies is a left-footed player who also comes from the left wing, so he likes to play on the left side of midfield.

Just in time for Nedved, Pexoto and Piero in front.

Salas is also a left-footed player, but Lippi often uses him on the right.

Yang Hao also made targeted deployments on this side.

He could guess Lippi's intentions, and if he couldn't open up the situation in the middle, he wanted to start from the wing.

During his time at Lazio, Salas often dribbled the ball diagonally into the box on the right side, found his team-mate in the centre, and then ran to the middle of the box to play the role of finisher.

Lippi is clearly going to use his advantage as well.

……

Sure enough, after the substitution, Juventus began to strengthen the attack on the wings.

The left flank played well, but Salas on the right was also actively involved in the attack, Zambrotta would intervene when attacking, but when defending he would be the first to return to the midfield.

However, after Atletico's substitution, they adopted a back five style of play, coupled with a back three in midfield, and it looked like it was the same feeling as when Bosque led Real Madrid to win the Champions League in the 99/00 season.

There is no way, Yang Hao is now facing Lippi and his Juventus!

Even if Yang Hao thinks that Juventus lacks creativity, it is relative to the top teams.

In European football, the Bianconeri are still one of the strongest teams.

The result of this game is very important for Juventus, but not for Atletico.

The difference in mentality is often reflected on the pitch.

Especially when the game was 70 minutes on, the Juventus players were obviously starting to get a little anxious.

There are more long passes and long shots.

Yang Hao is still firmly seated in Diaoyutai.

Even if they lose tonight, as long as they can win one point in the remaining two rounds of the group stage, whether it is at home against Celtic or away against Porto, Atletico can advance to the group.

And he believes that the more anxious Juventus are, the more likely they are to make mistakes.

Sure enough, in the 73rd minute, Salas received a pass from Zambrotta on the right flank and used his body and speed to force his way away from Cambiaso's defence.

But Carvalho, who was assisting in the defense behind him, decisively grabbed at the edge of the penalty area, calmly kicked out, and shoveled the ball down.

As a result, both Salas and Carvalho fell on the edge of the penalty area.

For a moment, the entire Alp Stadium was booed.

But the referee didn't blow the whistle.

Cambiaso, who was closest to it, chased after him and kicked the ball to the left.

Aurelio stopped the ball and rushed forward with a meteor in stride.

Juventus' players reacted and quickly returned to defending, especially Zambrotta, who was the closest.

Diego Forlan and Adriano both cut forward at high speed, with the Uruguayan striker diagonally running to the left and shouting Aurelio's name and raising his hand for the ball.

At this time, the Juventus defence had not yet been organized.

Be quick!

Aurelio didn't wait for Zambrotta to get closer, and kicked the ball forward.

On the left flank, Diego Forlan caught up with a team-mate's pass, but was quicker than Lindley to return to the defence, forcing Forlan to slow down and stabilize possession first.

The Uruguayan turned around and faced the attacking direction, diagonally towards the top of the arc.

After passing the ball, Aurelio continued to plug in at high speed and went straight to the outside to attract the attention of Billindeley's defense.

At this moment, the drawbacks of Tachinatti's departure were completely exposed.

At the edge of Juventus' big penalty area, there was a brief gap.

Davis is still desperately trying to catch up.

But Diego Fran has already killed him.

As a last resort, Thuram could only come out, but almost as soon as the French centre-back made his decision, Diego Forlan sent a light diagonal pass to the top of the penalty area.

I saw Adriano run sideways, kicked Forlan's pass into the penalty area, went straight behind Thuram, forced Montero with his body, and kicked a blast with his left foot.

The whole process is long to say, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye.

By the time the fans reacted, Adriano's furious shot had already penetrated Buffon's goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"Atletico scored a goal!!

"Adriano!"

"In the 73rd minute, Adriano received a pass from team-mate Forlan and broke the deadlock for Atletico Madrid."

"1 to 0!"

After Adriano scored, he turned and ran excitedly, shouting Forlan's name from afar, and Aurelio on the left, and the three rushed to the sidelines for the first time, posed and celebrated the goal.

When Yang Hao saw the team score, he rushed out of the away team's coach's seat as soon as possible and cheered loudly for his players.

"Well done, Ade!"

When the players finished celebrating and walked back, they passed in front of the away team's coach's box, and did not forget to come over to high-five and hug Yang Hao.

"Well done, Diego." Yang Hao also gave Diego Forlan affirmation.

The Uruguayan is not just a scorer, not only is his shooting skills superb, but his ability to handle and pass the ball, as well as his sense of movement, is also quite good.

With this goal......

Yang Hao turned his head and looked at the home team's coach's seat......

Huh, what about Lippi?

Yang Hao stood in the coach's command area of the away team and looked around, but he didn't see anything, and the coach's command area of the home team was empty.

In the end, he guessed from the exposed leather shoes and socks that Lippi was sitting in the home team's dugout.

This old man is not kind!

I was beaten so badly by you, I hid in the coach's seat for more than an hour, and I finally raised my eyebrows, shouldn't you come out at this time and let me sigh?

If it weren't for the fact that the game was not over and the head coach couldn't leave the command area, Yang Hao really wanted to go over to the coach's seat of the home team to see what the old man's expression was now.

……

The match ended with Atletico Madrid beating Juventus 1-0 away.

Bianconeri fans frantically booed Atletico Madrid players celebrating inside the stadium from the stands.

Since Adriano's goal, Yang Hao straightened his chest and stood in the command area of the visiting team's coach.

Lippi had been sitting in the dugout all the time, and he didn't know that this little ghost was waiting to see his jokes?

Is there a way?

A loss of the game is a loss.

As an old fox in Serie A, Lippi is still very good at home, but when he calmed down, met Yang Hao head-on, and wanted to do his best as a host, Yang Hao's words made him almost break the defense on the spot.

"Rest assured, we will still give our best in the next two games."

Lippi almost cursed.

Labor and management use you?

"No, we'll do it ourselves!" Lippi is also very hard.

As long as Juventus win Porto at home next, they will have a high probability of qualifying.

Yes, probably.

Because what if Atletico lose to Celtic?

In that final round, the away game against Celtic will be a bloody battle for Juventus.

As soon as he thought of this, Lippi's heart tumbled and he wanted to vomit blood.

When the draw results of the group stage came out, he still thought that the lottery was okay, but he didn't expect that he was now forced into this situation.

NND, do you want to see the face of this little ghost?

I can't afford to lose this man!

Eventually, Lippi didn't say anything and turned away.

Yang Hao looked at his back and smiled.

have all advanced in advance, in the next two games, who is still the main force?

If you have the ability, you can play with Porto and Celtic by yourself.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Hao felt refreshed.

From now on, we are also the man who double-killed Lippi!

……

Juventus' 1-0 defeat at home to Atletico Madrid once again sparked a wave of mourning in the Italian media.

Serie A teams have been disappointing in the Champions League this season.

After four rounds of group stage play, Lazio won 1 and lost 3 and gloriously finished at the bottom of the group.

In the words of the Italian media: you have so many Lazio, so many superstars, you can put together a random lineup, and you can destroy those teams like Nantes, PSV Eindhoven, Galatasaray and so on in minutes.

How can you play like that?

Fabio Capello's Roma is okay and can't compete with Real Madrid for the top spot in the group, but now they are also second in the group.

Juventus finished third in the group.

This made the whole of Serie A feel incredible, and fans could not accept the fact that the mini-World Cup had fallen.

Yang Hao had been prepared for this.

If nothing else, Lazio's bankruptcy this summer is not at all surprising or worthy of sympathy.

In fact, Lazio still has a lot of very good players, Nesta, Stam, Mihajlovic, these are the best central defenders in the world, there are also Stankovic and Mendieta in the midfield, and there are also big players like Lopes and Crespo in the front.

But that's not what Atletico can think about.

Even Mendieta, Atletico Madrid can't get it.

Because his pay is too high.

Before Yang Hao crossed, many people were wondering, why some stars are only about 30 years old, so strong, how can they have no ball to play?

The reason is simple, they are too paid and are not willing to take a cut.

Football has always been a team sport, and bringing in a star beyond the club's salary range can afford, regardless of his level or form, the probability of playing is often very slim.

That's the case with Lazio's Mendieta, it's the same with Manchester United's signing of Alexis Sanchez, and many others, abound.

The reason behind it is not complicated, it is the human heart.

When all the people in the locker room are getting paid more than everyone else because you broke the team's salary structure, their hearts will not be balanced, and many of them will even wait to see you make a fool of yourself.

This is very common in the workplace, right?

It's the same in the locker room.

……

After playing away at Juventus, Atletico Madrid returned to Madrid and took a break to fly to Valencia without stopping.

This is the 9th round of La Liga.

Successive battles, especially on two fronts, have caused problems for almost all teams.

Especially in late October.

Barcelona drew 1-1 at Malaga, Deportivo beat Sevilla 1-0 at home and Atletico drew 1-1 at Valencia.

Vicente, who returned from injury in the second half, set up Diego Forlan for the equaliser.

Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo 1-0 at home.

The man who scored the goal this time was Guti.

That's the case with Real Madrid this season, when the striker can't score, there's always someone who can step up.

……

Three days later, in the fifth round of the first group stage of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid hosted Celtic.

Yang Hao repeatedly emphasized before the game that he was by no means releasing water in this game, but rotating appropriately.

Yes, that's right, rotation.

It's just a little bit more powerful, and it happens to be some young, substitute players.

But what Yang Hao didn't expect was that after the rotation, the team actually played better.

Oh my God, what's going on?

When Celtic were hell-bent on winning on the road, and when Martin O'Neill's side couldn't afford to swallow Atletico from the start, Reyes counter-attacked twice in the 19th and 36th minutes to help Atletico score two goals.

The assisters were Torres and Kaka.

After the game, Martin O'Neill himself admitted to Yang Hao that they were in too much of a hurry.

Juventus beat Porto 3-1 at home to secure the second place in the group.

……

Back in La Liga, the 10th round was ushered in, and Atletico Madrid hosted Malaga.

Goals from Adriano and Deco helped Atletico Madrid win 2-0 at home and secure the three points.
