On the evening of January 8, at the Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

Atletico Madrid, who had just beaten Barcelona away in the league, returned to their home stadium for the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

The opponent is Rayo Vallecano.

From the first minute of the game, Atletico Madrid, who were playing at home, played a wave of attacks, especially the trident of Vicente, Diego Forlan and Joaquín, which constantly intruded on the Rayo Vallecano defense in the front.

In the 10th minute, a wonderful pass from Vicente on the left side, Diego Forlan picked out a defender and volleyed past the opponent's goal to open the scoring for Atletico.

1 to 0!

The entire Calderón stadium was in a tidal wave of celebration.

After opening the scoring, Atletico played more patiently, and Yang Hao's 433 formation completely controlled the ball and rhythm in the midfield.

In the 23rd minute, Joaquín on the right broke through continuously, rushed into the Rayo Vallecano penalty area, and sent a cross.

Patrice Evra went straight to the left side of the penalty area and calmly pushed the goal to score another goal for Atletico Madrid, 2-0!

Towards the end of the first half, Diego Forlan burst into the penalty area with the ball, created a foul on the opponent, and got a penalty opportunity, and the Uruguayan calmly hit the penalty to further extend the score for Atletico Madrid, 3-0!

Diego Forlan scored a brace!

After the rematch in the second half, Atletico gradually slowed down their attack.

But in the 68th minute, it was a wonderful pass sent by Joaquin on the right, Deco burst into the penalty area and broke through the opponent's goal again, 4-0!

Then in the 71st and 74th minutes, Atletico Madrid played a wave of attacks.

Vicente and Joaquín scored successively to lock the score at 6-0 for Atletico!

After the game, Rayo Vallecano coach Manzano expressed regret over the defeat, arguing that his team had to rotate and make changes due to the team's hard work in last weekend's away game against Celta Vigo.

'But it's clear that we don't have a squad as good as Atletico.'

Manzano believes that with the same rotation, Rayo Vallecano will have a hard time competing with Atletico.

"They're already one of the strongest teams in La Liga!"

Manzano also admitted that after a 6-0 defeat at home, Rayo Vallecano's chances of advancing are essentially zero.

'But when we get back at home, we're still going to try to play our football.'

Away win against Barcelona, home win over Rayo Vallecano!

After this winter break, Atletico have played impressive football in two consecutive games.

The Spanish media also generally believe that Atletico Madrid is indeed terrifying for many La Liga teams now.

After the first leg of the Copa del Rey, for the centennial celebration, Real Madrid, which is determined to win the Copa del Rey title, lost 0-1 away to Athletic Bilbao, which surprised everyone.

The media throughout Spain followed suit.

Either they set off fireworks to celebrate and wait to see Real Madrid's good performance, or they are heartbroken and think that Real Madrid should be more stable and stronger.

The Copa del Rey final was finally scheduled for the Bernabeu on March 6 for the centenary celebration, which can be called the dazzling jewel in the crown.

If Real Madrid had failed to pick this gem, wouldn't the centenary celebrations have become a big joke?

Florentino also reacted immediately, coming forward to reassure the fans after the game, saying that it was just an accident, the team will adjust quickly, and the situation will be turned around at the Bernabeu Stadium a week later.

'I've spoken to Bosque and the players and they're full of confidence.

Anyone can tell that Florentino is determined to win the Copa del Rey title.

The newspaper even revealed that Real Madrid's management and board of directors have reached a consensus that the Copa del Rey title must not be lost.

If Bosque can't lead the team to win this championship, then he will have to leave class!

……

Real Madrid have been too dominant this season and very steady.

While the whole world knew they were aiming to win at home to Athletic Bilbao, Bosque's side were still able to rely on excellent defence and a flash of inspiration from their stars up front to beat Valencia 1-0 against Valencia at the weekend.

Rafael Benitez was unhappy after the game, believing his side should have won at the Bernabeu, or at least a draw.

But Real Madrid's superstars decided the outcome of the game.

Deportivo La Coruna, who are also playing on two fronts, lost 3-0 away to Valladolid this time.

Iruetta's side have been problematic defensively and have been inconsistent this season.

Atletico beat Espanyol 2-1 at home to take another three points.

Three days later, back in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Raul and Zinedine Zidane.

Compared to the first leg a week ago, Real Madrid won particularly cleanly this time, dominating the whole game.

In the end, the Galaxy Battleship reversed Athletic Bilbao with an aggregate score of 2-1 and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

Atletico Madrid challenged Rayo Vallecano away with a substitute lineup, and finally drew 1-1, and the aggregate score was 7-1.

Also advancing to the semi-finals are two other teams, Figueres from the second division and Deportivo La Coruna.

I don't know if it's luck or the draw, anyway, Real Madrid finally drew Figueres, the weakest player in the semifinals.

This is almost the signing of the Copa del Rey final.

Atletico met Deportivo La Coruna.

The two teams will decide the opponents of Real Madrid's centenary celebrations, which will be the focus of the world's attention.

After playing in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, in the subsequent 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid, which had won all the way, finally slowed down.

Real Madrid, who had been playing back-to-back games, made a mistake at the back, and in the 24th minute, striker Valdés was assisted by Malaga's Dario Silva to score a goal.

After that, no matter how Real Madrid counterattacked, they launched more attacks, and even had to adopt a two-back style of play in the end, almost pressing on all of them, and carried out a crazy attack on Malaga.

At the critical moment, in the 87th minute, Carlos assisted Morientes and scored with a header.

1 to 1, this score also remained until the end.

Morientes saved Real Madrid from a second defeat of the season at a crucial moment.

Atletico beat Sevilla 4-2 away from home, and Reyes showed excellent form against his former club, passing and shooting to help his team win three points away.

This also allowed Atletico to successfully shorten the points gap between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, from the original four points to two points.

The battle for the league title is heating up again.

Many Spanish media have said that whether it is in the Copa del Rey or in the league, Atletico Madrid is Real Madrid's strongest competitor.

……

Atletico Madrid! Atletico Madrid!! Atletico Madrid !!

Bang!

In the chairman's office at the Bernabeu Stadium, Florentino slapped the stack of newspapers on his desk.

He had just read the reports of several newspapers and found that all of them mentioned Real Madrid and mentioned Atletico Madrid.

What's going on?

How could this damn army of sheets be so nasty?

I don't know why, as soon as he saw Atletico Madrid, Florentino thought of that damn Yang Hao, and when he thought of Yang Hao, he felt uncomfortable, and he felt very depressed.

Opposite him, Real Madrid's top management was taken aback by the sudden slap.

In their opinion, the Real Madrid president's emotions have been a bit out of control in recent times, giving people the feeling that they are close to breaking the defense.

"Can any of you tell me how can I stop this damn team from showing up at the Bernabeu?" Florentino asked the crowd in front of him in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other and immediately understood the crux of the chairman's "loss of control".

At the core, there is still worry.

The centenary celebration was planned, hosted and arranged by Florentino himself, not only to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Real Madrid, but more importantly, to take the opportunity to show a new Real Madrid team that is completely different from all the teams in the past.

He wants the world to see that he is trying to recreate the feat of the Bernabeu, the great president of Real Madrid!

He wants to once again make Real Madrid the most star-studded and appealing giant team in the world!

At that time, the stands of the Bernabeu will not only invite Real Madrid legends and celebrities, as well as many sponsors and guests, but more importantly, the Spanish king and members of the royal family, the prime minister and government executives, as well as political and business celebrities from Spain and even European countries.

It will be a big stage for the whole of Europe, and even for the whole world!

In such an important match, Real Madrid must not have accidents!

You can imagine that Florentino and Real Madrid have done so much, what would it be like if they lost in the Copa del Rey final? The centennial celebration will become a laughing stock for the whole world!

This is something that Florentino and the Real Madrid board cannot accept in any way.

But now, Atletico Madrid's pesky neighbor has suddenly barged in.

What to do?

"Why don't I try to give Rondoro a call?" Butragueno asked tentatively.

Augusto Cesar Rondolo is the president of Deportivo La Coruna, the creator of Super Laco, who has been president of Deportivo since 88 and is very prestigious in Spanish football.

Everyone actually knew that Butragueno was going to call Rondolo for what he wanted to do.

It's a semi-open secret in Spanish football.

The most famous are the 91/92 and 92/93 seasons, when Cruyff was just starting to coach, and he was far from the so-called dream team, let alone the peak of Barcelona.

On the other hand, Real Madrid, which had stars such as Hugo Sanchez, Putragno, Hierro, Hadji, Michel, and Luis Enrique at that time, can be said to be in full swing.

As a result, in both seasons, Real Madrid and Barcelona fought to the final round of the league.

Interestingly, Real Madrid have faced Tenerife in the final round of both seasons, and both have been away from home.

What's even more interesting is that the head coach of Tenerife at that time was in front of Florentino at this moment, Real Madrid's sporting director Jorge Baldano.

The number one player was Redondo, who later joined Real Madrid.

The real secret is not here, but Barcelona "PR" Tenerife at that time, hoping that this team from the Canary Islands can help Barcelona snipe Real Madrid with all its might, promising to take proper care of player transfers and other aspects after the matter is completed.

Later, Barcelona also specifically awarded the title of Honorary Member of the President of Tenerife.

This incident caused an uproar at the time, and many media pointed out that Real Madrid also had PR Barcelona's opponents, but Barcelona won, but who knows?

Since then, almost every season, there have been all sorts of similar rumours, from title races to European divisions to relegation battles.

For things like this, the attitude of the Spanish Football Federation is a little ambiguous.

On the one hand, it is difficult to define, and on the other hand, is it a match-fixing or not?

In fact, the same thing has happened in various leagues.

It's like now, Real Madrid definitely doesn't want Atletico Madrid to enter the Copa del Rey final, because this is too risky, there are too many uncontrollable factors, so Real Madrid prefers that Deportivo Madrid can beat Atletico in the semi-finals.

In this case, it will be easier to clean up Deportivo La Coruna when it comes to the Copa del Rey final.

What Butragueno meant was that he wanted to talk to Rondolo and get Deportivo to do everything in their power to finish off Atletico Madrid.

Of course, this requires Real Madrid to "pay" in some way.

There was a dead silence in the chairman's office.

It's not a scandal, it's even happening almost every season, it's in the gray area.

Even many times, media reporters will not report if they know about it.

Strictly speaking, it's not match-fixing, it's just rewarding one team for trying to beat another.

If you feel that Real Madrid is not appropriate to come forward with a reward, it doesn't matter, you can let a certain Deportivo fan operate it.

But whether to do it or not, depends on Florentino's meaning.

"Fran of A Coruña is old." Florentino said incomprehensibly.

Everyone immediately understood.

Butragno, in particular, followed Florentino's "reminder" and nodded secretly, knowing how to deal with it.

Fran is 32 years old, and although he is doing well, he is still there.

At the beginning, Deportivo used to compete with Real Madrid for Munitis, but in the end, the Spanish international winger chose Real Madrid, so Deportivo LaCoruna's left wing succession has been delayed until now, and no good candidate has been found.

It was rumored that Deportivo wanted to sign Vicente from Atletico Madrid, but was sternly rejected by Yang Hao.

But in the left winger position, Real Madrid are overcrowded, and Munitis is also a dispensable role, if ......

"Emilio, you've been busy for a long time lately, so take two days off and go out to play."

Florentino suddenly smiled and said to Butragueno.

"Don't worry, we won't call you if there's something."

After hearing this, Butragueno immediately understood what Florentino meant, "Okay, I'll go and hand it over, I should really have a good rest, my wife has always said that she wants to go to the north to see." ”

This is how it was settled.

Butragueno knows very well that the whole thing is his idea, and has nothing to do with everyone else, especially Real Madrid, and will never reveal the slightest rumor.

Out of his mouth, into the ears of Lentoro, that's all.

……

After talking about this matter, the conversation quickly moved on to another matter.

Summer transfers.

Recently, the authoritative media just released the ranking of the world's top 10 clubs in 2002, and Real Madrid won the first place by an absolute margin, which made Florentino very happy.

Real Madrid is followed by teams such as Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Barcelona, which is in turmoil, can't even enter the top ten, and Atletico Madrid, the number one rival, is even more impossible.

Spain has only Deportivo La Coruna in the top 10, but in ninth place.

From this point, you can see the influence of Real Madrid in European football, and even in the whole world football.

In less than two years, Florentino's superstar strategy has been an unprecedented success.

"Next, we must quickly turn this influence into commercial benefits, increase our revenue, and then bring in more superstars, forming a virtuous circle." Florentino gave instructions.

José Sanchez, the head of the commercial department, nodded in agreement, and he has made a very detailed plan to sign a blockbuster sponsorship for Real Madrid in the coming months, including a re-signing of his contract with Adidas, as well as the team's chest advertisement.

For the past two years, Real Madrid has been absent from advertising on their chests, which is millions of euros a year.

In addition to attracting investment and sponsorship, the commercial department also has a very important task, which is market research.

To some extent, market research in the commercial sector has a very important weight in Real Madrid's recruitment decisions.

Many people outside said that Real Madrid's signing target for the centre-back was Nesta, followed by Thuram and Stam and finally Cannavaro, but this was actually wrong.

Real Madrid's first target at the beginning was indeed Nesta, because Nesta has a very good image and high commercial value.

But Thuram and Stam have never been in Real Madrid's recruitment plan, and even if they are mentioned occasionally, they are more like smoke bombs, and Real Madrid's real target has always been Cannavaro.

The reason is simple, Cannavaro's image and commercial value are better.

Now, Real Madrid have begun to prepare for this summer's superstar signings, and market research will naturally follow.

"From the current point of view, from a commercial point of view, the most appealing striker at the moment is Ronaldo."

José Sánchez presents the results of their market research to the crowd.

"Recently, Ronaldo has just returned from injury, and he has received three advertising sponsorships in Italy, including the famous TIM company's advertisement, which shows that his commercial value is still very high."

"Our department specially investigated him and found that fans and media all over the world are looking forward to his comeback, and this is a World Cup year, and the Brazilian team did not play well in the World Cup qualifiers, which led to Brazilian fans all over the world being more full of expectations for Ronaldo."

"Everyone wants to see Ronaldo stage the return of the king, the regret of 98 years."

Ronaldo's name is a legend in football in his own right, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the top class.

'Ronaldo is really good, and even in world football, he's the only one of his kind, provided he stays fit and gets back to his top form. Baldano is the sporting director and has to give his opinion.

This is also the concern of all the teams interested in Ronaldo.

Judging by his injury situation in Serie A, the outlook is not optimistic.

"Anyone else?" Florentino asked.

Jose Sancheston was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be speechless.

"What's wrong? Just say. Florentino urged.

José Sánchez looked at the others and finally spoke up.

"According to our market research, because the World Cup is held in Asia, Yang Hao has become hot in recent times, from December to now, it is said that he has received 3 sponsorships, and there are some more in talks, including Nike, Adidas and Puma all want to sign him."

"What?" Florentino looked up in disbelief and looked at José Sánchez, full of questions.

But the head of Real Madrid's commercial department nodded very affirmatively, "Atletico Madrid's commercial department came forward to help him negotiate, but it is said that the Sheets Army does not have his image rights, so the vast majority of the income still belongs to him." ”

Everyone present was surprised.

No one knew that Yang Hao's commercial value was so high.

You must know that as the top class of world football, Ronaldo also has such commercial value, and Yang Hao, as the head coach, can be comparable to the top stars, which is simply outrageous.

"We speculate that this is mainly related to the fact that the World Cup is held in the Asian region." José Sánchez explained.

"In addition, from the perspective of scarcity and image, Yang Hao does have commercial value, after all, the 26-year-old European double champion is unprecedented and unique, and naturally there are many brands interested."

José Sánchez's explanation is also reasonable, and everyone immediately understood.

But I was still surprised.

Yang Hao has indeed risen too fast in the past two years, especially Atletico Madrid under his coaching, almost one step a year, not to mention Spain, and even the entire European football world has to be impressed.

To some extent, Atletico is now a big force in La Liga.

The reason why Florentino is reluctant to see Atletico Madrid enter the final is, in the final analysis, that he is afraid of Yang Hao.

Today's Yang Hao is Florentino's reverse scale, even if he touches it lightly, he will be thunderous and angry.

Because the whole world knows that Florentino's ridicule of Yang Hao in public was a big fool, but now, this big fool has become the number one rival between Florentino and Real Madrid.

How could Florentino not be annoyed?

Don't let that damn Yang Hao, and his Atletico Madrid, appear at the Bernabeu Stadium on March 6!

Florentino thought to himself, gritting his teeth.

……

No one knows what happened.

Including Deportivo La Coruna's head coach Iruetta.

Until the eve of Deportivo Madrid's game for Atletico Madrid, the club's president Rondolo suddenly called Iruetta, first talking to him nonsense, nothing more than caring about the team's preparation and so on.

The chairman is really good, but when did he care so much about the team's game?

It was only when Irueta was suspicious that Lentoro revealed his true purpose.

"Didn't you always want to bring in a good left winger? After knocking out Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, I promised to raise money to bring in a Spanish international-level left winger for you this summer. ”

Iruetta wasn't stupid, but when he heard this, he could guess what was going on.

With the strength of Deportivo La Coruna, the players signed are at least active internationals, either Atletico Madrid's Vicente or Real Madrid's Munitis, but the condition given by Rondolo is to beat Atletico Madrid.

The answer is clear.

Every line has its own rules, and Iruetta knows them.

What's more, it doesn't violate his professional ethics, he was going to do whatever it takes to beat Atletico.

Now, he just needs to work harder and work harder.

Of course, Lentoro wouldn't have been so obvious.

Deportivo La Coruna said that tomorrow he will go to the hotel where the team is staying to mobilize the players before the match, and give a new reward system to motivate the players to do better in the Copa del Rey, the league and the Champions League.

For the current Deportivo La Coruna, the league has to keep the top four, the Champions League has to fight for the second stage of the group stage, and the Copa del Rey has to win the championship, isn't it normal to give rewards at this time?

Irueta said she would arrange it.

"What's wrong?" Assistant coach Francisco Melo asked curiously.

President Rondoro rarely interferes in the team's affairs.

Many people say that this is also the key to Deportivo La Coruna's achievements in recent years.

Irueta didn't hide her henchmen, because there were a lot of things that Francesco Melo had to do.

As a manager, he can't do everything himself.

"Atletico is really getting more and more fierce now." Francesco Melo smiled wryly.

In just two years, Yang Hao almost started from scratch to create such a powerful sheet army, and Irueta and Melo have seen the whole process all the way.

In the summer of 00, Atletico Madrid was almost poached by La Liga and European teams, and Deportivo La Coruna won the three main international players in one go, and everyone felt that Atletico Madrid would be finished.

Since then, Deportivo La Coruna has strengthened the team on the basis of the La Liga title, while Real Madrid has brought in superstars on the basis of the Champions League title.

That's why they're where they are today.

But what about Atletico?

Yang Hao can only keep selling people and bringing in reinforcements, and he has introduced a group of young players with good quality and low prices.

It can be said that Yang Hao has brought Atletico Madrid from a poor and white quasi-relegated team step by step to the present, and it is already a force to be reckoned with in European football, and even teams like Real Madrid feel jealous.

Irueta has talked to players such as Belleron, and they have a very high opinion of Yang Hao.

That's the rarest thing.

"What now?" Melo asked with concern.

"What to do?"

Merlot didn't answer, and he didn't know how to speak.

'We were meant to beat Atletico, weren't we? Now, there is even more reason for us to devote more resources and energy to Atletico. Irueta replied.

Merlot nodded slightly, a little reluctant to speak.

Iruetta knew her assistant well and smiled: "I know, not convinced, right?" ”

"Real Madrid is too bullying!" Melo said.

At first glance, it seems that there is really no problem, but when you think about it deeply, it is not right.

Real Madrid are indeed jealous of Atletico, but they are clearly not so jealous of Deportivo La Coruna.

Otherwise, how to explain their preference for Deportivo La Coruna to go to the final rather than for Atletico Madrid?

To put it bluntly, they feel that Atletico are stronger and more risky.

"The world is fair, Francisco, Real Madrid is Real Madrid, Barcelona is Barcelona, we can't compete with them, that's a fact, no matter how many years from now." Iruetta looked particularly helpless.

The Madrid city government is willing to pay a huge sum for Real Madrid's old sports city, can Deportivo do it?

Almost all La Liga teams are in debt, how many local governments can step up and do that for the team?

Of course, it's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't, because they don't have the money either.

Looking at Spain, there are only a handful of cities that can do this, and the only ones that can be seen are Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"But......" Iruetta changed his mind after he was helpless.

"Deportivo have our own way of survival, and since Real Madrid are willing to sell Munitis to us at the right price after beating Atletico Madrid, how can we refuse?"

Merlot was a little surprised, but he wasn't stupid either, and immediately understood what Iruetta meant.

Real Madrid only said that Deportivo would snipe at Atletico Madrid, but did not say that after reaching the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid would ensure that Real Madrid won the championship.

That's a different nature.

Therefore, Deportivo can completely snipe Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals and then kill Real Madrid in the final!

"Remember, Francisco, it's the weak who need to make choices, and we...... Players and champions, too! ”

When Irueta said this, she looked extraordinarily confident.

……

Estadio Riazor de la Coruña, Spain, January 22.

In the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Atletico Madrid challenged Deportivo La Coruna away.

Before the game, there had just been a heavy rain and the field was very slippery.

When Yang Hao walked out of the players' tunnel, he could even see a beautiful rainbow appear over the court.

Irueta "blocked" him at the entrance of the player's tunnel, and after the two shook hands, they stood on the sidelines and exchanged a few words.

"Tonight, we're at home, we have to beat you!" Irueta said very solemnly.

As an opponent, he still recognizes Yang Hao very much.

"So do we." Yang Hao replied with a smile.

"Why?"

"We Chinese have a saying, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, neighbors are doing happy events, we naturally have to go to the door to congratulate, so we must also win!"

When Irueta heard this, she immediately understood.

Both have the same goal.

"Then it's up to you, but you're at a loss."

"Lucio and Baraja?"

"Yes, they didn't come, and it had a big impact."

"It's okay, we're going to play tonight!"

After separating, the faces of the two of them were obviously calm when they first met, and they became much more solemn.

Deportivo La Coruna is now fully staffed and in very good form.

Irueta just said not long ago that he has put together the strongest squad for Deportivo La Coruna.

Goalkeepers: Molina;

Defence: Capdevilla, Cesar Martin, Naibet and Scaloni;

Midfield: Sergio and Mauro Silva form a back two, with Forlan, Bellerón and Victor Sanchez up front;

Forward: Tristan.

Atletico Madrid also lined up a 4231 squad tonight.

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar;

Defence: Aurelio, Carvalho, Marchena and Belletti;

Midfielders: Xavi Alonso and Simeone trail behind, Vicente, Deco and Joaquín up front;

Forward: Adriano.

Due to the away goal mechanism in the knockout round of the Copa del Rey, Yang Hao adopted a more aggressive tactic in this game.

The two sides launched a fast-paced battle from the start.

It is clear that Irueta is targeting the weakness of Atletico's backline after Lucio's absence.

Yang Hao is also trying to attack Deportivo La Coruna's long-standing defensive problems, especially the two central defenders.

The first shot of the game came from Deportivo captain Forlan, who fired a long-range shot just wide.

But a little over a minute later, Atletico made their first threatening attack, Vicente forced his way down the left and crossed to goal, where Adriano headed high from close range.

Atletico then created another chance when Deco delivered a clever pass and Adriano burst into the right side of the box and fired a right-footed volley that was saved by goalkeeper Molina.

The game completely entered an open-ended situation, and the two sides launched a fierce offensive battle.

Both teams are not playing conservatively, but you go back and forth against each other's weaknesses, constantly attacking each other.

From the 10th minute onwards, Atletico had a slight advantage on the pitch and had more opportunities to attack.

Finally, in the 17th minute, Adriano hit the goal in the penalty area, which was blocked by the defenders in the penalty area, and there was a vacuum on the right side of the penalty area.

A powerful shot that pierced Deportivo La Coruna's goal, 1-0!

One goal behind, Deportivo La Coruna, who was playing at home, became more and more courageous.

Especially two minutes after Atletico Madrid's goal, Tristan received a very wonderful pass from Belleron in the penalty area, deducted Marchena, and when he got up to hit the goal, he was saved by Van der Sar.

Super Laco began to invest in attack, Capdevilla and Scaloni also actively stepped forward on both flanks, and the addition of Belleron and Tristan put Atletico's backline under great pressure.

Especially in the 31st and 35th minutes, after Belleron broke through Xavi Alonso with the ball, he hit a curling ball directly and almost scored.

Mauro Silva then threatened Atletico's goal with a long-range shot.

Towards the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid quickly counter-attacked after the ball broke in midfield.

Deco split the ball on the right side, Joaquin cut straight behind Capdevilla, and when unguarded, picked up a cross on the right side of the penalty area, Adriano followed up with a close-range header.

2 to 0!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"In the second minute of first-half stoppage time, Adriano scored another goal for Atletico with a powerful header."

"2 to 0!"

"The situation is very unfavorable for A Coruña."

"Atletico Madrid still showed a very good competitive form at the Riazo Stadium tonight, and Deportivo La Coruna is still obviously suffering in terms of overall strength."

But just when everyone thought that Atletico Madrid was basically sure to win, Irueta made a very risky substitution at halftime.

He replaced Mauro Silva with De Jaminha and withdrew Bellerón to a central midfield role to partner Sergio and put De Jaminha alone in the number 10 position.

At the same time, he also replaced Victor Sanchez, who had almost disappeared from the entire match, with Mackay.

At the start of the second half, Deportivo launched a fierce attack on Atletico.

In the 50th minute, Forlan on the left side passed, Capdevilla sent a cross, Carvalho competed with Mackay for a header at the back point, although he stuck the position and grabbed the landing point, but under the interference of Mackay, the header was not good, and the ball was directly pushed into his own goal.

1 to 2!

The Deportivo fans cheered almost wildly, cheering for the players!

Atletico's backline has been plagued by a succession of errors.

In the 56th minute, Belleron made a direct pass near the penalty area, Dejaminha burst into the penalty area with the ball, and sent a pass in the melee, Tristan successfully equalized the score in one fell swoop!

2 to 2!

The fans at the scene immediately shouted even more enthusiastically.

Yang Hao made a decisive substitution, Cambiaso replaced Joaquin, and Vicente went up to form a double striker with Adriano.

Atletico immediately changed to a 4312 formation.

Conceded two goals in 6 minutes, especially that own goal, which had a great impact on Carvalho, Yang Hao knew very well that if he didn't adjust in time, let alone a draw, losing would be a matter of minutes.

Iruetta, on the other hand, tasted the sweetness and continued to strengthen the attack, replacing Forlan with Pandiani.

With only 65 minutes into the game, Irueta had already used up all his substitutions.

And on the pitch, Deportivo played with three strikers.

Tristan, Mackay and Pandiani are some of Europe's leading scorers.

In the 71st minute, it was Tristan's replay, Belleron was on the periphery of the penalty area, 20 meters away from the goal, and suddenly hit a curling ball that hung in the upper right corner of the goal.

Atletico goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is also powerless about it.

3 to 2!

A Coruña reversed!

The entire Stadio Riazor was like a festival, with more than 30,000 fans cheering and cheering hoarsely from the stands.

……

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines, watching the trend of the game, somewhat helpless.

Whether it is an own goal or a long-range shot by Belleron, it is actually beyond the control of the manager.

If you look into it carefully, of course, it can be said that the players who have not done a good job, but in fact, such accountability is meaningless.

The star had a flash of inspiration, and it was hailed as a moment beyond tactics.

It didn't take long for Torres, who was wearing the No. 35 jersey, to warm up and come to the away team's coach's seat, next to Yang Hao.

"Boss."

Yang Hao turned around and saw Torres with a young face and freckles on his face.

Now he has a very neat short haircut, Yang Hao shook his head.

"Before the next haircut, remember to report it to me, it's too ugly." Yang Hao muttered.

Torres smiled wryly.

He really wanted to say, now is a critical moment, boss, are we still behind?

Do you still have the heart to care what hairstyle I have?

"Come here."

Yang Hao beckoned, and when Torres got closer, he grabbed Torres's shoulder, leaned over and said, "Capdevilla often goes forward, and when you go up later, you will stare at Cesar Martin for me." ”

Torres nodded.
