Entering February, La Liga once again ushered in a wave of intensive fixtures.

February 2, 23rd round of La Liga.

Having just played the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Atletico were clearly not in great form, and after the team rotated, they were held to a 0-0 draw away by Osasuna and failed to win.

Coincidentally, Real Madrid also drew 1-1 away to Espanyol in this round.

Barcelona beat Tenerife 6-0 away.

Deportivo La Coruna lost 0-1 at home to Alaves.

Valencia beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 at home.

Overall, the top teams, with the exception of Barcelona, have not performed very well.

……

After 23 rounds of La Liga, the rest of Europe's leagues have basically come to a halt.

The international players have been drawn to the national teams of various countries to prepare for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan this summer.

But in this case, La Liga continues.

On February 5, in the 24th round, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Valladolid away.

Atletico drew 1-1 at home to Tenerife.

The Madrid duo suffered two draws in a row at the same time.

Barcelona, Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna all joined forces to win.

But at present, these teams have not been able to shake the position of Madrid's two heroes, and they are basically missing the championship.

……

February 9, Round 25 of La Liga.

The likes of Barcelona, Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna all drew 0-0.

Atletico lost 2-1 away to Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid beat Las Palmas 1-0 at home.

As a result, the gap between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid has once again widened to five points.

Especially in the recent period, Atletico Madrid ushered in 3 rounds of winlessness, which made Yang Hao's team controversial.

Yang Hao and the coaching staff have also conducted an in-depth analysis of this situation, and the core reason is that the international players have been transferred to the national team, resulting in the overall strength of the players who remain in the Atletico Madrid team is not strong enough.

This, combined with the back-to-back games after the winter break and the up-and-down form of the players, has led to a terrible situation for the team at this stage.

Yang Hao said in an interview with the media that the ups and downs of the state during this period were within the team's expectations.

"If we count the performance since February, although we have declined slightly, the overall performance is still very good."

Yang Hao does not feel that the team has encountered a big problem, he believes that with the end of the national team competition, with the return of the international players, Atletico Madrid will find their own rhythm again.

But at the coaching staff meeting, Yang Hao believes that the challenge is still great.

The national team will train until February 13, and many internationals, including the Spanish international, will not return to the team until the 14th at the earliest.

On the 16th, the team sat at home to face Real Mallorca.

Aragonés' side are notoriously tough.

But that's not the point.

The key is that on the 20th, Atletico Madrid will face the opponent of the third round of the second group stage of the Champions League, Manchester United.

In this case, Yang Hao will definitely have to make some trade-offs.

After the internationals returned in a hurry, it was impossible to play two games in a row, and they were all hard-fought battles.

And if you want to blame, you really have to blame the Spanish Football Federation.

It's like the Premier League, which is obviously more reasonable than La Liga in terms of schedule.

Especially since entering February, Manchester United have only played two Premier League games, and the international players have reported to the national team, and the Premier League has also been suspended.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Ferguson abandoned the FA Cup early on.

It can also be seen from this that the Premier League has considered the national team training camp in the schedule.

On the other hand, in La Liga, during the national team training camp, the league continues, isn't this nonsense?

Therefore, after losing to Real Sociedad, Yang Hao publicly accused the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga of not being scientific enough in the schedule and not taking into account the load of La Liga teams at all.

"The national team training camp itself is already a very troublesome thing, from this season to now, in addition to September, October and November, and now in February, the following March and April, we have to suffer from the national team training camp."

Yang Hao's appeal has also been supported by almost all La Liga managers.

Including Real Madrid coach Bosque believes that during the national team training camp, the league should be suspended, if it is because of the competition, the schedule needs to be compressed, it is possible to start the league earlier, instead of forcing all teams and players to death as it is now.

Deportivo coach Iruetta's recent results are not very satisfactory, and he also supports Yang Hao's view that the La Liga schedule should be more reasonable and scientific, and should not be decided by patting his head.

"It's too much pressure for players to play right now!"

Gradually, this grievance conference initiated by Yang Hao became more and more noisy in Spanish football.

The Spanish Football Federation and La Liga have also come forward to reassure, saying that they will listen carefully to the voices of the clubs.

"We wanted to strike a balance between business and humanity." La Liga vice-president Jose Astiasalaran came forward to take a stand.

Not only that, Astyassalan also revealed that La Liga will usher in a major change in the near future.

In the past period, the La Liga reform initiated by Atletico Madrid and followed by other clubs has reached a basic consensus, and even Real Madrid and Barcelona have made it clear that they are willing to negotiate.

Astia Salan revealed that the reform will be all-encompassing and involve all aspects.

This time, the Spanish Football Federation will not intervene in the reform of La Liga, but is willing to help and cooperate with La Liga to find a path more suitable for the development of La Liga, so as to change the current situation of general debt of La Liga clubs.

With the announcement of Astia Saran, the dust has settled on this long-rumored news.

……

"José Astiasalan and Harvey Tebas both called me one after the other."

At Calderón Stadium, in the office of President Cerezo, Yang Hao, Xiao Hill and Cerezo, who had just finished a high-level meeting of the club, sat in front of the coffee table on the sofa and talked about what had just happened in the past two days.

Yang Hao lit a fire in Spanish football, which burned La Liga.

In the end, two vice chairmen had to be dispatched, which stabilized Yang Hao.

If at this moment, Yang Hao comes forward again and attacks La Liga, they will be even more troublesome.

"Recently, there has been a discussion within La Liga, the schedule has been a problem for a long time, it is really troublesome, and it is difficult to communicate with UEFA and FIFA to coordinate the time." Little Ciel smiled bitterly.

He can see Yang Hao's influence clearly this time.

I don't say anything on weekdays, and as soon as I fire, it will make Spanish football earthquake.

"This reform is very strong, but now there is a basic consensus, and the management and operation of La Liga will develop towards a professional level, and the clubs will play more of a supervisory role." Cerezo is Atletico's representative in La Liga.

Speaking of this La Liga league, it's actually quite interesting, it was founded even earlier than the Premier League.

The abbreviation is La Liga, the full name is the Spanish Professional League, which is responsible for the management and operation of La Liga and La B.

But in the past 20 years, La Liga has been in everyone's impression of a character who eats and waits for death.

Basically, apart from arranging the schedule, I didn't do anything else.

For example, broadcast fees and commercial sponsorships are all negotiated by each club itself, and La Liga is basically not involved.

This leads to the fact that to a large extent, La Liga has no power, and it is useless, so naturally there is no funding, and basically no one wants to be the chairman or anything.

Therefore, in the past few years, the president and vice president of La Liga have generally been elected by the presidents of all La Liga and La B clubs, and whoever likes to be elected will be elected.

The current president is none other than the president of the Espanyols, Daniel Libre.

The current vice-chairmen are Jose Astiasaran, the president of Real Sociedad, and Xavi Tebas, the president of the club Badajoz in La Liga.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Astia Salan would be the president of the next La Liga league, but later took care of the positions of La Liga and Real Sociedad at the same time, resulting in him not doing well on both sides, and resigned from the position of president of Real Sociedad halfway, but also left Real Sociedad with a debt of more than 10 million euros.

As a result, since then, Real Sociedad has been at odds with Astia Salan every time they vote.

and Xavi Tebas, he is the next president of La Liga after Astia Saran, after 13 years of reform, the chairman has become full-time, but how he does it, fans in 2023 are expected to be no strangers, and this guy is also very capable of tossing.

The advantage of this part-time model is obvious, that is, the labor cost is very low.

For example, the chairman's annual salary is only 400,000 euros.

But the downside is also obvious, doing things unprofessionally.

Just imagine, such an important position, handed over to such a group of people who can't even run the club well, the result can be imagined.

The reason why Yang Hao's proposal to Cerezo and Little Hill was immediately supported by so many people, and even Real Madrid's Florentino clearly agreed, shows that La Liga and La B are very disappointed with the situation in La Liga and are eager for change.

"This time, we have reached a consensus that professional matters will be handled by professionals, and La Liga should take the initiative to learn from the Premier League, introduce high-level professionals, and rectify the current chaos in La Liga."

The 42 clubs of La Liga and La B will become members of the board of directors and will only be responsible for supervision, not directly operating and management.

Two of the most significant initiatives are that the broadcast rights of La Liga and La B will begin to be bundled.

Now that this has been approved by Real Madrid and Barcelona, the next step is to set a timetable, coordinate the current contract time of each club, and reasonably distribute the interests of all parties.

Another and very important move is that La Liga is going to start embracing globalization.

"Florentino is very supportive of this initiative, and he said the same as you, that the future of football will enter the era of globalization, and La Liga must seize the opportunity to vigorously explore the global market and make up for the natural shortcomings of the Spanish language." Cerezo said.

The language aspect is definitely a loss, but La Liga also has its own advantages.

Yang Hao nodded, and it is not surprising that Florentino would agree now, since it was only the beginning of 2002.

In a few years, Real Madrid will become addicted to selling broadcast fees and image rights from all over the world, with an annual income of hundreds of millions of euros, and then let them come over and tie up with other clubs, it will not be ordinary.

Of course, from this stage, La Liga will collectively go overseas and develop overseas markets, which is also beneficial to giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Yang Hao is now a shareholder of Atletico Madrid, and the next stake will get bigger and bigger, so of course he hopes that La Liga can follow suit, especially to catch up with this wave of globalization.

"After the reform, the most important thing is to first sort out the distribution of interests between La Liga and La B, as well as each club, and formulate a relatively reasonable and fair distribution mechanism, just like the Premier League, so at this stage, the ability to develop business is not the most important."

Yang Hao thought for a while and proposed: "Perhaps, you can consider a professional who is good at financial management and has a background in financial consulting. ”

"That's right, it's like you said before, first tidy up the ditch, and then open the sluice gate to release the water." Cerezo agreed.

At present, La Liga is recruiting externally, and headhunters are also looking for senior talents in related fields.

In addition to the CEO of La Liga, there are several other executives.

In the past, La Liga could neither get a salary nor have good resources at hand, so it naturally could not attract senior talent, but now it is different, and the reformed La Liga league is still very attractive.

Of course, it is not easy to find a suitable one.

Unlike other businesses or institutions, La Liga must not only understand the sports industry, but also be familiar with professional football, have a background in financial counseling, and even be able to handle complex relationships......

If you think about it, this position is still very challenging.

Of course, the pay is also very high.

From the original 400,000 euros, it has been increased to 1.5 million euros in one go.

In addition, there is an additional bonus incentive mechanism after a good operation.

"Florentino feels that this annual salary, coupled with the influence of La Liga, is still very attractive."

Yang Hao nodded, it was indeed not bad.

"This time, we came forward to take the initiative, and quite a few people supported us to run for chairman or vice chairman of the board of directors."

Since the board of directors is not directly involved in management and operations, the chairman or vice chair is more likely to take the lead in oversight.

Yang Hao and Little Hill glanced at each other and laughed in unison.

"It's good for you to decide this kind of thing, I have no opinion." Yang Hao said.

He now holds a 15% stake in Atletico and is the second largest shareholder, more than Cerezo and behind the Hill family.

But Yang Hao also understood a lot of things.

Not to mention that he is only the second largest shareholder now, even if he becomes the largest shareholder, he still needs Spaniards such as Cerezo and Little Hill to rush ahead, because many things are still handled by Spaniards, which is more convenient.

"By the way, how is old Mr. Hill doing?" Yang Hao asked with concern.

Since retiring, Hill Sr. has rarely seen Calderón Stadium, living more on farms in the suburbs.

But Yang Hao heard that he had high blood pressure recently and was admitted to the hospital.

Little Hill shook his head helplessly, "It's an old problem, and it's out of danger now, but it still needs to be hospitalized for observation." ”

"Help me bring greetings, I've been so busy lately."

"I know."

There is a game every 3 days, not to mention Yang Hao and the players, even if it is a fan watching the game, many people feel unbearable.

But what can be done?

That's how the schedule is scheduled.

"If you can, tell him that on March 6, remember to go to the stadium to watch the game." Yang Hao said with a smile.

Hill Jr. smiled and nodded, if he could really kill Real Madrid at the centennial celebration, then his father would be very happy.

"By the way, Yang, there will be too much pressure in the group stage in the second stage." Little Hill politely persuaded.

"yes, just do your best." Cerezo also spoke up.

Atletico Madrid were able to emerge from the first group stage and they were already very surprised and satisfied.

It's clear in the team now that the pressure is really too much.

Especially in the second stage of the Champions League, the champions of the other three major leagues were drawn, which is outrageous.

Today's Atletico Madrid are on the same page in La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, which is satisfying enough.

"I know, but we still have to rush, it's difficult, rush over, we'll make progress!" Yang Hao said.

Last season, he also encountered similar problems, and after breaking through, the overall strength of the team has also improved.

If you can't make it, you can only hope for next season.

But isn't it a challenge for all giants, no, all strong teams?

Only by overcoming this difficulty can Atletico be qualified to say that they are a strong team.

"Leave the team's affairs to me, you just hurry up, find a way to make more money, don't let the news of poaching players spread outside all day long, so that our Atletico Madrid is like a player supermarket." Yang Hao laughed.

Little Ciel and Cerezo looked at each other and laughed along.

But how easy is that?

Atletico are still in debt.

According to Yang Hao's plan, first solve part of the debt, and then expand the training base, which requires the purchase of land around Mahada Hongda, as well as investment in infrastructure and equipment, which is also a very large expense.

But the training base had to be expanded, and now Atletico's training base hardware is so poor that the youth team's home stadium doesn't even have stands.

There is also a serious shortage of training grounds, with many age groups sharing the same field, resulting in training times having to be staggered again and again.

If you can expand the training base, you don't need more, you can arrange two or three more venues for the youth team, it will be a lot more generous.

There is also the training building of the first team, after a few renovations, the conditions are still quite bad, and it needs to be expanded or renovated.

All in all, Atletico has too thin a foundation and there are too many places to spend money.

……

La Liga Round 26.

The injuries of Lucio and Baraja have instead allowed them to stay in Mahadahonda to prepare and adjust their form instead of going back to the national team.

When the international players returned from the national team, Yang Hao did not arrange for them to start immediately, but reserved for the Champions League group stage in the middle of next week, which led to a very difficult game for Atletico Madrid at the Calderón Stadium.

Aragonés' side have always been known for playing hard, and although stars such as Samuel Eto'o did not start, the overall quality should not be underestimated.

The two sides battled hard for more than an hour, and it was not until the 65th minute of the second half that Cambiasso's shot on goal gave Atletico the lead.

It was the only goal of the game.

1-0, Atletico narrowly beat Real Mallorca at home and won three precious points.

In the other game played almost at the same time, Real Madrid suffered their second defeat of the season with a 2-1 defeat away to Athletic Bilbao.

A large number of internationals were all absent from the game, leaving Bosque unable to win against the Basque Lions at the San Mamés Stadium.

The defeat also shortened Real Madrid's lead from five points to two.

The race for the La Liga title is heating up again.

Valencia drew 1-1 away at Villarreal and Barcelona reversed Deportivo La Coruna 3-2.

……

"I'll just say Ferguson will regret letting Stam go."

After playing Real Mallorca, Atletico's preparations moved to the second group stage of the Champions League.

Yang Hao also received timely information from Manchester.

Neither Ronnie Johnson nor Wess Brown will be included in United's squad for Madrid.

Among them, Wes Brown was seriously injured not long ago, and the comeback time is estimated to be in the final stage of the season; Ronnie Johnson, on the other hand, was seriously injured in October and has been rumored to be back soon.

Now it seems that the comeback time is uncertain for the time being.

Among Manchester United's only three remaining central defenders, David May has rarely played and has been praised by many Manchester United fans as a treble winner; French central defender Blanco is 36 years old; At just 20 years old, O'Shea is still very young.

In this context, there is news that Alex Ferguson is considering using Gary Neville at centre-back.

'If that's the case, then we can attack at home.' Juanma Lillo said happily.

According to the speculation of the Atletico Madrid coaching staff, Manchester United's starting lineup is likely to be 4141.

Goalkeepers: Butters;

Defence: Sylvester, Blanco, Gary Neville and Phil Neville;

Midfielders: Roy Keane behind; Ryan Giggs, Veron, Paul Scholes and David Beckham up front;

Forward: Ruud van Nistelrooy.

It's clear that United's entire midfield is superior, with the exception of the backline, which is a major weakness, especially in the centre and on the right.

During Yang Hao's Christmas, when he went to the UK to watch the game, he had already discovered Manchester United's defensive problems.

Now it's even more exposed.

Remember, Yang Hao also deliberately mentioned Stam in front of Ferguson, and Ferguson's reaction was funny.

It is estimated that he was already regretting it at that time, but he didn't want to admit it in his heart.

In Yang Hao's previous life, many people were asking, why did Manchester United's results plummet after Ferguson retired?

The answer is simple, Ferguson's team strategy has always been focused on homegrown players.

For example, around 2010, when the team needed to be restructured, he did not bring in high-level foreign players at the first time, but spent a lot of money to sign Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Ashley Young?

You must know that the transfer fee for signing these three homegrown players is enough for Manchester United to buy and buy in the transfer market.

But it has also delayed United's restructuring.

Back now, why would Ferguson want to sell Stamm?

Some say it's a mistake in data analysis, others say it's a conflict between Stam and Ferguson, and others say it's Stam who wrote an autobiography......

Of course, Yang Hao doesn't know what the real reason is, but he is guessing, is it possible that he wants to make room for local players such as O'Shea and Weiss Brown?

In the past few years of the turn of the century, Manchester United is actually not wealthy, although in early 2002, Ferguson has not fallen out with the two major shareholders because of the Gibraltar Rock stallion incident, but Manchester United can definitely not support too high transfer investment.

But this summer, Ruud van Nistelrooy spent 28.5 million euros and Veron spent another 42.6 million euros, with the two players spending a total of more than 70 million euros, plus other signings.

Of the players sold, only Andy Cole sold 12.2 million euros.

In this case, will United also need to sell a high-priced player to cover the club's transfer expenses?

When Beckham and other golden four midfielders can't move, the most valuable person in Manchester United's team is, of course, Stam.

It just so happens that Manchester United has emerged two young players, Wes Brown and O'Shea, who are also not bad and worth cultivating.

The 36-year-old veteran Blanco and the 32-year-old veteran Ronnie Johnson can also hold on for a while, so Ferguson added two to five and sold Stam directly.

Yang Hao feels that this possibility is also very large.

It is estimated that even Ferguson himself could not have imagined that Ronnie Johnson and Wes Brown would suffer serious injuries this season, resulting in Manchester United's backline being stretched thin.

This experience forced Ferguson to confront the weakness of defence, especially when the Premier League and Champions League performances were not very satisfactory, and he made up his mind to sign Rio Ferdinand for 46 million euros in 2002.

Ferguson's homegrown player complex is understandable, as Manchester United and Liverpool are both the most traditional teams in England and the favourite teams for English players.

But now, when United face Atletico, Ferguson can only line up a centre-back combination of Gary Neville and Blanco.

Or, he was willing to let O'Shea come up and take the risk.

'In addition to the backline, there have always been problems in the midfield and Veron has never been able to fit into the midfield, so I think we can do something about that.

In order to help Veron integrate into the team, Ferguson took great pains and even adopted the 4141 tactic.

That is, Keane dragged behind, and Veron and Scholes played in the middle.

Originally, Veron was indeed a very good midfield player, but as Paul Scholes himself later said, when United signed Veron, everyone, including himself, felt that he might be sold.

Coupled with sky-high transfers and huge annual salaries...... All of this has contributed to Veron's inability to integrate into Manchester United.

The pace of play between the two sides is clearly not on the same channel, and Atletico only need to capitalise on that to have a chance to keep United's midfield out of action.

'Statistically, Veron has won just 16 of the 29 appearances for United on all fronts so far, a 55 per cent win rate, and United have won five of the six games that Veron has been absent from.

The statistics are skewed and not guaranteed to be objective, and to some extent, reflect United's current midfield problems.

What's more, Argentine players playing in England are always unpopular and in an even worse situation.

"Then it's decided!" Yang Hao immediately made a decision.

Baraja and Lucio will return for this game, which will further improve Atletico's midfield and backline.

Playing at home, facing Manchester United, Yang Hao still wants to compete with Ferguson.

……

"Damn, didn't you say, it's going to rain?"

On the evening of February 20, Calderón Stadium, Madrid.

When Ferguson walked out of the tunnel, he looked up at the night sky and saw that it was pitch black, but there was no rain at all.

He was a little disappointed.

The weather in England has always been rainy, and Manchester United still have a lot of experience in playing games on rainy days.

"Sir, welcome to Calderón."

Yang Hao greeted him with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand towards Ferguson from a distance, looking extremely enthusiastic.

But I don't know why, Ferguson saw him like this, but his heart burst out.

This kid is a smiling tiger.

"Looks like you're full of confidence tonight." Ferguson shook hands with Yang Hao and said tentatively.

"Aren't you too? I saw the lineup you put out, and it was beyond my expectations. Yang Hao said with some exaggeration.

Ferguson snorted twice, I believe in a big-headed ghost.

Before the game, the damn British media had already revealed what color underwear I was wearing, you said it was unexpected? Is it true that I'm old enough to fool around?

But Ferguson did have some apprehension in his heart.

Manchester United's players are more accustomed to playing 442 with two strikers, and this season with the arrival of Veron, Ferguson has tried to play five midfielders with the times, but whether it is 4231 or later 4141, the effect is not very obvious.

How so?

Manchester United's players are not used to this tactical formation.

On the surface, 4231 and 442 don't seem to be much different, that is, they take a striker and act as a forward midfielder in the number ten position.

But in fact, the changes are still very large.

For example, compared with 4231 and 442, the former is four lines in both offense and defense, while 442 is a standard three lines, even if Ferguson uses a diamond-shaped midfield position, it is just a change of parallel 442.

In the 4231 tactic, the No. 10 position is the key core, and the center forward in front is also crucial.

But it's clear that Ruud van Nistelrooy is a goalscoring machine, but not a well-rounded centre-forward, and Scholes isn't very comfortable with the role of a key player in the number 10.

The wings have changed just as much.

In the 442 formation, the two wings are full-backs, and the positions are further back; But in the 4231 formation, the two wingers are more forward, basically wingers.

The positions up front are different, so the two full-backs have to move forward as well.

Neither Ryan Giggs nor Beckham are used to playing too far forward.

Therefore, after several adjustments this season, Ferguson finally chose the 4141 formation, with Roy Keane dragging back to play as a single midfielder, and Ryan Giggs, Veron, Scholes and Beckham lined up, similar to the 4 in the middle of 442.

It's the equivalent of taking a striker and strengthening the defense at the back.

After all, tonight's backline is a real concern.

Ferguson looked at the ill-intentioned Atletico Madrid manager in front of him, and he always felt that Yang Hao would catch Manchester United's defense tonight.

This guy is also especially good at stealing.

……

With the referee's whistle blowing, the game officially kicked off in the midst of more than 50,000 Atletico fans at the Calderón Stadium, and Manchester United, who were the first to kick off, tried to attack Atletico.

Tonight, Atletico still adopted the 433 tactic that they are most familiar with this season.

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar;

Defence: Aurelio, Carvalho, Lucio and Belletti;

Midfielders: Simeone, Deco and Baraja lined up;

Forwards: Vicente, Adriano and Joaquin.

This is also some of the fine-tuning that Yang Hao made today.

In Manchester United's 4141 formation, four midfielders are directly behind Ruud van Nistelrooy, especially Veron and Scholes, which are even more dangerous, and Yang Hao has to be cautious.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United, who took the lead in serving, saw that Atletico Madrid did not press high, but played steadily.

United's attack was still accustomed to playing two flanks, so the ball soon found at the feet of David Beckham.

As soon as the ball arrived, Beckham saw that Simeone was already in front of him.

When the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed.

Beckham still hasn't moved out of that red card in '98 and when he saw Simeone, he immediately tried to cross diagonally to find Ruud van Nistelrooy in front of him, but Simeone was sideways to block it.

The ball goes out of the touchline, the throw-in.

When Phil Neville came up, picked out the football on the grass and wiped it on his shirt, he kept observing the situation around him and noticed that Atletico Madrid's defenders were all around.

David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Keane and even Ruud van Nistelrooy have all been targeted by Atletico Madrid players.

Phil Neville tried to throw the ball out on several occasions but couldn't find the right opportunity.

"As soon as the game began, Atletico's throw-in defense this time went straight to the intensity."

"Manchester United haven't taken the throw-in yet."

"Look at this time, throw it to Van Nistelrooy."

'The Dutchman blocked Carvalho with his body, chested the ball and tried to control it, but Aurelio came up and struck and passed to Beckham.

"Nice steal!"

"Atletico's Simeone scrambled to shovel the ball away."

"The ball is at the feet of Aurelio, straight forward."

"Atletico's quick counter-attack."

"Vicente sprinted in front and was very fast."

"Atletico in the middle, Adriano and Joaquín on the right are rushing forward."

"Manchester United came back to defend at the first time, and Keane chased Vicente all the way."

When Vicente rushed to the left side of the edge of the box, he turned his head sideways to look into the middle and saw that Adriano was a little slower.

But Roy Keane has caught up.

Vicente made a timely stop and immediately controlled the ball at his feet, sending Roy Keane straight over his head.

The captain of Manchester United is also fierce, with a sudden brake, and immediately pounced on Vicente viciously.

The Atletico left winger took the lead and crossed to the middle of the arc, but he was tackled by Roy Keane.

The offensive principle is advantageous, and the referee does not blow the whistle.

Adriano caught up just right, grabbed ahead of Blanco, and stopped with his right foot to meet Vicente's pass, parked the ball into the penalty area, and the whole person also caught up for the first time.

Gary Neville pounced and was about to grab the ball that Adriano had just stopped, but just as he was about to touch the ball, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and his whole body flew backwards involuntarily.

The afterglow of his eyes swept to Adriano's burly figure, Gary Neville is experienced, where does he not know what is going on with him?

The moment he fell to the ground, a sentence popped into his mind: TMD, where did this monster come from?

After Adriano knocked down Gary Neville, he ran forward to the right with his right foot against the football, just in time to avoid the attacking French goalkeeper Barthes, and the whole person started again, chasing the football as fast as he could.

Butters tries to fall to the ground to grab the ball, but instead of catching it, he catches Adriano's left foot.

At that moment, a thought came to the French goalkeeper's mind: broken! Penalty kick!

But in the next second, he was completely confused.

His hand caught Adriano's left foot, but instead of falling to the ground, the Brazilian kicked his hand straight away, staggered slightly, stabilized his body, caught up with the ball he had just tripped, and fired a sweep with his right foot.

The ball went into the unguarded empty goal with great speed.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"The opening two minutes, the opening is only two minutes."

"Oh my God, Atletico got off to a fantastic start tonight!"

"Adriano opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid with a very strong and fierce attack in the opening 2 minutes!"

"1 to 0!"

'It's just unbelievable, he knocked down two Manchester United players in the box in one go.

Adriano finished his shot and then rushed off the pitch again, running under the stands to celebrate with his father in the distance.

Yang Hao was so excited that his whole body jumped up and shouted Adriano's name loudly.

He, like all the fans in the stadium, was cheering for the wonderful performance of the Brazilian centre-forward!

Who would have thought that Atletico Madrid would break through Manchester United's goal in just 2 minutes!

What could be a better start?

After Yang Hao celebrated with his assistants, he took a special look at the away team's coach's seat and found that Ferguson's face was iron-blue.

Obviously, the goal also made him feel passive.

"Well done, Ade!" Yang Hao walked to the sidelines again, and after high-fived Adriano, who was celebrating his return to the court, he gave a hard hand and the two hugged warmly.

After Adriano scored, the whole person was also quite excited, and after letting go of Yang Hao, he grinned.

"Actually, Boss, all of us prefer you to wear a suit."

When the surrounding Atletico players heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Yang Hao instantly lost his smile and pointed to the court, "Get out!" ”

The crowd dispersed.

"These bastards!" Yang Hao scolded and walked back.

Juanma Lillo and the others all looked at it with a smile.

Everyone knows that Yang Hao has stopped wearing a suit lately, because he signed a new sponsorship for the club's jersey sponsor, Nike.

The specific amount of sponsorship was not disclosed, but it is speculated that the annual sponsorship cost is as high as 2 million euros, and the price is that Yang Hao must wear Nike clothes and shoes to direct the game.

This is the first game for Yang Hao to fulfill his contract.

"Don't mind, they're all envious." Juanma Lillo laughed, "All of us are envious, too. ”

The others were amused again.

Nike specially sent two truckloads of shoes and clothes to Yang Hao in a small box, all of which are Nike's latest models, some of them are really good-looking, plus Yang Hao's figure, it is really good to wear, a proper hanger.

Yang Hao didn't know that this group of guys was joking with himself.

But in order to make money, I don't shudder!

Haha, as soon as I beat Real Madrid, he won! Also, who said I was slow to update? Stand out! I promise two updates today, and the other chapter has not been finished yet, so it will be sent in the afternoon. Finally, I can ask for a monthly pass with confidence! Thank you!
