Due to the UEFA Super Cup, Atletico Madrid's away game against Barcelona was the last game of the first round of La Liga.

Because of this, this game is highly anticipated.

Not only in Spain, but also in Europe and around the world, fans are paying attention and even tuning in to watch the live broadcast.

For Barcelona's defeated performance, everyone's evaluation is: incomprehensible.

Judging from the whole game, Atletico Madrid is actually not dominant in terms of possession, and is more playing defensive counter-attacks.

But it was Atletico Madrid's counterattack that hit Barcelona's soft underbelly every time.

The two-goal lead in the first half is the best proof of this.

Catalonia's newspaper El Monde Sport was puzzled by the situation, and they even confronted Louis van Gaal: why do you stubbornly use a back three when you know that Atletico Madrid have excellent wingers?

Do you think Barcelona's defense is not enough to pull your hips?

Van Gaal explained: "We need to maintain the advantage against Atletico in midfield and threaten the opposition up front, and in fact, we have done both. ”

Louis van Gaal was similarly resentful: "The whole world knows that we don't have a left wing-back, but the problem is that we can't buy the players we want, and I want to play in a back four, but you tell me, how do you play? ”

The problem at left wing-back has been a problem for a long time.

But last season, there was veteran Sergi at left wing-back and Koko on loan from AC Milan, but now?

Koko went back to AC Milan, Sergi is old and has a free transfer.

Louis van Gaal said he was chosen to play at left wing-back.

18-year-old Carlos Pena, 20-year-old Fernando Navarro, 20-year-old Nano.

Louis van Gaal was disappointed with the result, but he believes it was just an accident.

'I want to remind everyone that Atletico have played three games, they are starting to get into the groove and we are the first game of the new season, it's like a car, they've been running for three hours and we've just started.

But Van Gaal's explanation, apparently, did not satisfy the Catalan media.

Because they conceded 4 goals, they were still at home.

How can this be endured?

Daily Sports revealed that the management was very dissatisfied with the performance of the veteran De Boer in this game, believing that it was his poor mistakes that led to the team's successive goals conceded, which was very fatal.

De Boer's performances have been unsatisfactory since joining Barcelona in '99, but Van Gaal has always maintained his love, which has led to De Boer staying at Barca.

Now, the 32-year-old veteran has completely exposed his weaknesses.

Whether it was the penalty kick in defense of Reyes, or the subsequent return pass error, it fully exposed that De Boer's strength was no longer enough to continue to stay at Barcelona.

All four goals conceded were related to him.

The Daily Sport newspaper even ridiculed him as an Atletico Madrid player wearing a Barcelona shirt.

In order to further intensify the ridicule of Van Gaal, the Catalan media even counterattacked this time, praising Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid in every way, especially Yang Hao's arrangement, and even thinking that he crushed the stubborn Van Gaal.

In addition to this, other media in Spain were also full of praise for Atletico's four-goal victory.

After the first round of matches, Atletico Madrid, who beat Barcelona, ranked in the leader of La Liga, which can be described as shining.

Real Madrid, who beat Espanyol 3-0 at home, are in second place.

The Madrid duo started the season in impressive form and did not concede a goal.

Further on, there are Real Betis and Real Sociedad.

As for Barcelona, which lost 0-4 in the first round, this time it is directly at the bottom.

This is also why the Catalan media reacted so strongly.

Because after playing in the first round of La Liga, it will be followed by two weeks of national team breaks, that is, Barcelona will sit in the position of deputy squad leader for half a month, how can Barcelona bear it?

……

Compared with Barcelona, Atletico Madrid has been unanimously affirmed by many media, including Catalonia, this time.

The 4-0 away beat of Barcelona also made Yang Hao's name even louder.

No way, who made us the only great husband who has enjoyed the "pig's head" treatment at Camp Nou?

After playing Barcelona, UEFA also made a few special calls to Yang Hao.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't come to present the Certificate of Merit to the Triple Merit, but to invite him to Nyon, Switzerland to participate in the Elite Coach Summit.

It's an old UEFA tradition.

Every year, some famous marshals are invited to go, but Yang Hao was not invited last year, which makes it clear that he looks down on people.

I was invited this year, but Yang Hao was still not happy to go, so he politely refused the game against Barcelona and too many things.

Since taking charge of Atletico Madrid, he has worked very hard, constantly learning, constantly studying, and always learning from famous coaches, coaches, and even club staff.

He sees himself as a sponge, constantly absorbing nutrients from all directions, from all kinds of football practitioners.

Because he knows that he has a few pounds and a few taels, and he needs to keep learning and improving.

Only then will he be worthy of an increasingly strong Atletico Madrid.

Even now, in the dead of night, well, when his main girlfriend is not around, he looks back and repeatedly reminds himself that he is not strong enough.

Of course, in the eyes of everyone outside, Yang Hao is already a golden Champions League coach.

But in Yang Hao's own heart, he compares himself with world-class coaches such as Ferguson, Wenger and Aragonés, and even with future Mourinho, Guardiola and others, and he feels that he has not done enough.

This is the truest thought in Yang Hao's heart, but he has never revealed it to anyone, and he hides it tightly.

As for the UEFA Elite Coaches Summit, he really didn't want to go.

At the beginning, you ignored my love, and today I make you unattainable.

……

During the national team training camp, Mahada Hongda was quiet for two days.

Yang Hao also gave himself two days off beautifully, but he was about to go to work again.

After the internationals returned from the national team, September 10 was the knockout round of the second round of the Copa del Rey.

The Copa del Rey has been rescheduled again this season, with an earlier start time, while La Liga teams start their participation in the second round.

After playing in the Copa del Rey, the second round of La Liga is at home to Sevilla, and then in the first round of the first group stage of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid will visit Highbury Stadium to challenge Arsenal.

Wenger really deserves to study economics, and his accounts are also very good.

After selling Patrick Vieira for €45 million, Arsene Wenger spent €30 million to package two players from PSV Eredivisie side Marc van Bommel and centre-back Kevin Hovland.

For another 3.8 million euros, Sigan was brought in from Ligue 1 Lille.

Coupled with the team's Gilberto Silva, Edu, teenager Sidwell and other players, Arsenal's midfield is obviously a big improvement compared to last season.

The point is that the metabolic problems that have plagued Arsenal's backline for many years are starting to be resolved.

Hovland has been one of the best centre-backs in the Netherlands over the past few seasons and is also an active Dutch international for the national team.

As for Van Bommel, not to mention, he is very familiar to fans in 2023.

What's even better?

Arsenal didn't spend a penny on transfers all summer, and even made millions of euros after selling Richard White, which can be called a model of thrift and thrift.

In Serie A, Inter Milan signed Nesta before the end of the transfer window.

This is another transaction that makes Yang Hao's whole person Spartan.

Snatched Kiely Gonzalez from Barcelona, then Adriano, Aurelio and Cambiasso from Atletico Madrid, and now Nesta from Lazio......

All of them are players that head coach Cooper wants.

This is a precursor to take-off!

Yang Hao was even thinking, with Inter Milan's current lineup configuration, looking at the entire European football world, I am afraid that only Real Madrid can hold it, right?

Could it be that Cooper, the second in 10,000 years, really wants the serf to turn over and sing?

However, when he thinks about the lineup under his command, his heart is also full of enthusiasm.

It's slightly inferior to these local tyrants, but give him about two more years, and then try to see who is in the world of European football!

……

Taking advantage of the national team training period, Yang Hao was idle and had nothing to do, so he called Drogba over to nag.

The main reason is that he was too busy before, and things happened one after another, which made Yang Hao a little anxious.

Especially after the team sold people continuously, Yang Hao must first run in the lineup.

Drogba's affairs can only be put aside for the time being.

No, when he was idle and had time, he immediately called Dehua over to talk about homely things.

Caring about their current living situation, finding out how they integrate, whether their family is adapting to the climate in Madrid, whether they can master the language, etc.

Don't underestimate that.

Behind each player is a whole family, they have left their relatives and friends, come to a foreign country, and may not even understand the language, and cannot easily communicate with the locals, which brings great inconvenience to their lives.

The younger player is actually okay, after all, in the team, he can deal with people all day long, but what about his wife Lala and children? My wife is going out to buy groceries, right? The child is going to go to school, right?

All of these are small things, but when it comes to every family, it is a big event.

These are the keys to determining whether a player can fit into the new environment of a new team.

Drogba is very satisfied with Atletico Madrid's player placement, and there will definitely be some problems in the process, but Atletico Madrid is doing their best to do a good job of logistics, such as hiring a translator for Drogba's family, and it is the kind of African-American female translator who can accompany Drogba's wife out, which is not too intimate.

Also, not long after he arrived, his young son Isaac suddenly had a high fever one night, but Drogba was away with the team and was not at home.

Atletico's placement specialist rushed over overnight to help Lara take Isaac to the hospital.

Therefore, when Yang Hao asked, Drogba smiled very happily, and the whole person looked relaxed.

He told Yang Hao a decision, "Lala and I decided to have another child." ”

"Really?" Yang Hao is also very happy for them.

Because Drogba had previously revealed to him that they would not consider having children until everything was stable.

Now it's decided, proving that his life is stable.

Drogba nodded, "Thank you, Boss." ”

"How?" Yang Hao asked with interest.

"Last year, you told me not to think about anything, to concentrate on training, to concentrate on playing, to concentrate on playing, to try to see how I progress after a year......

When Drogba said this, his eyes were also full of gratitude when he looked at Yang Hao, "I understand now." ”

"In the past year, my life has changed dramatically, the messy problems that used to seem to have disappeared all of a sudden, and the trivial things that bothered me seem to have disappeared all of a sudden."

"I'm at home and at the training base every day, or going to games, occasionally going out to dinner with Lala and the kids, or going to the mall."

Speaking of this, Drogba was also interested, "On a few occasions, I also met our Atletico fans in the mall and in the restaurant, and they asked me for a photo and an autograph, and my children were very proud of me at that time! ”

Yang Hao nodded, he could understand the feeling.

It's as if he was being chased by female fans in Japan and South Korea to call her husband, and that feeling was really great.

"To be honest, for many years, I've always felt that the life of a professional footballer is very boring, you can't do this or that, you have to limit your meals and drinks, and you have to live like an ascetic, it's so boring."

Yang Hao smiled bitterly, the player even has to calculate the time to make out with his girlfriend, what do you say?

"But gradually, I found that it was not so difficult, but after the implementation, there were fewer things around me that interfered with me, and there were fewer contacts with those so-called friends, and every day was very simple and fulfilling."

"Outside of training, I can spend more time with my wife and children, and I have fewer conflicts with Lala, and my children are closer to me."

"What's more, through this kind of perseverance and training, I feel that I am constantly getting stronger, and the things that I thought I couldn't do before, suddenly one day, I can do it, and I can do it better and better."

"I have seen my muscles and strength continue to improve, I used to drink, smoke, eat irregularly, my body is actually quite bad, but now, look at ......"

Drogba wore short-sleeved shorts and posed directly as a bodybuilder, revealing his strong muscles.

It's really much stronger than when I first joined.

"All of a sudden, one day, I thought it was a good life like this, especially when I could play on the pitch, help the team win, make more money, and give my family a better life......

Drogba opened his arms heroically, as if to embrace a whole new world.

"It's really nice, so, my family and I really appreciate you." Drogba said sincerely.

Yang Hao laughed.

In fact, he didn't do anything himself.

In the past year, he has been so busy that even if he has the occasional time, which is to watch Drogba's training or games in the second team, the number of times is very small, and more is a weekly report.

But the system he has established at Atletico Madrid is indeed very highly rated in the feedback of the players.

In fact, the club has not invested much in player placement and logistics services like this.

For example, the cost of a translator for Drogba's family is half for the club and half for the player.

But it's really not a question of money, it's about whether the club cares.

The players can feel that.

"This summer, several teams in La Liga, and even La Liga, want to buy you." Yang Hao said with a smile.

Drogba nodded, "But I made it clear to my agent that I'm not going anywhere." ”

After a pause, Drogba looked at Yang Hao and said lightly: "Since coming to Madrid, I haven't played a game under you." ”

'It's not easy to play under me, it's very competitive.

"I know, both Torres and Villa told me about these things."

In the second team, Torres was the main team and performed very well, but the top scorer was Villa.

This guy's technique and shooting ability are really strong.

The only problem with Villa is that he is a little shorter, and he is easily limited in battle.

But these two people, now in the first team, can't play the main team, or rather, they haven't fully gained a foothold.

After Adriano left, Torres, who was younger than Drogba, came from behind in the position of high school striker.

Drogba knew in his heart that it was mainly due to his years in France.

Therefore, he also behaved harder because of this.

'At the moment, we have four players competing in the first team, Villa can play more positions, and your situation will be more difficult, so you will be in the first team for the new season, but occasionally you will have to play in the second team.

Drogba is 24 years old.

In Yang Hao's rules for Atletico Madrid's youth team, players over the age of 23 should be let go if they can't be on the first team.

Marcos Senna and Didier Drogba are both overage, but they both made it to the first team.

This is also the reason why Yang Hao wants to transfer Drogba to the first team this season.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm mentally prepared, I've been waiting for your call!" Drogba laughed.

Yang Hao didn't say anything more.

"That'...... For the next Copa del Rey, you get ready. ”

"Am I on?"

"Yes, put on your best performance and let everyone see what you're capable of." Yang Hao encouraged.

"Understood!" Drogbamo said with a fist.

The opponent of the Copa del Rey is out, San Sebastian of the Spanish League.

The strength of this team is not strong, even if Atletico Madrid sends out the second team, they can easily destroy them.

Therefore, Yang Hao will not play the main force this time, but will play as a substitute and rotation player.

Moreover, the time is on September 10, and many of the main international players at this time are still in the national team.

"Come on, Didil, I'm optimistic about you!" Yang Hao said.

"Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down!" Drogba solemnly assured.

……

"Harrow, Manolo."

When the second team was training, Yang Hao, accompanied by Juanma Lillo and Parales, quietly appeared outside the training ground.

The sudden appearance of the first-team manager immediately caused a change in the second-team players in training.

Especially Ramos, he is most familiar with Yang Hao, and immediately waved and greeted.

Yang Hao's face was full of black lines.

This bastard is a self-cooked.

But I have to admit that a character like Ramos was born to be a captain.

Yang Hao still remembers that when he came to Real Madrid from Seville in his previous life, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he dared to choke with Ronaldo and other superstars when he first arrived, which was too bad.

It turned out that he was also very qualified as the captain later.

Of course, many non-Real Madrid fans will hate him and think that this guy's style of play is too rough.

But what do you say about such a thing?

There are pros and cons.

Ramos' biggest problem is his strength and height disadvantage, which has led to him having to use some unconventional moves when facing the centre-forward, as did Barcelona's Puyol.

Therefore, when Barcelona switched to passing and possession, Puyol's reputation obviously improved a lot.

Ramos debuted as a right wing-back in his previous life, but now Yang Hao is directly cultivating his central defender.

There is also a dedicated defensive coach in the team who is teaching him some defensive skills and movements to develop his defensive awareness.

This is also a big question for European football in 2023.

When passing possession became popular, all teams began to pay attention to the ball from the defender, but the defense became a chicken rib.

This leads to the fact that when developing defenders, they are focusing on strengthening the ball and ignoring the improvement of defensive ability.

So much so that in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Croatia's Gvardiol will impress everyone so deeply.

As a Spanish team, Atletico Madrid does not need to worry about the technical problems of the players, and also attaches great importance to the polishing of defensive ability.

"Yang, as soon as you came, I knew there was nothing good."

Manoro Jimenez first reprimanded the players and told them to continue to focus on training, and then walked over to Yang Hao and smiled.

"What if it's going to give you a promotion and a raise?" Juanma Lillo had a rare touch of humor.

Manoro Jimenez was recommended to Yang Hao by him.

The Sevilla legend is not very well-known in 2023, but he took charge of the Sevilla youth team from 00 until midway through the fire team in 07, and then managed the Sevilla first team for three seasons.

After that, he moved to AEK Athens, Zaragoza, Las Palmas and other teams, and his coaching results were okay.

But he did a very good job in the youth team, and almost all of Sevilla's later young players came from his second team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a big contributor to Sevilla's rise.

This is also the reason why Yang Hao hired Yang Hao after being recommended by Juanma Lillo.

Juanma Lillo thought that Yang Hao trusted him, and he was quite touched by his trust in Yang Hao.

"You're racing on weekends too, aren't you?" Yang Hao came here for business, so he won't say much to Manolo Jimenez.

"yes, what? Borrowing someone? Manoro Jimenez asked with a smile.

"Borrow a few, put them together for training, we're a little short on manpower."

"Okay, who do you want?"

"You arrange 7 people for me, I will name 3, and you will choose the remaining 4."

"Okay."

Manolo Jimenez immediately walked back after getting the list of players named by Yang Hao.

When a training session was over, Manolo Jimenez called out for a halt.

"Sergio Ramos, David Silva, Luka Modric ......"

"A few of you, report to the first team in the next few days and follow the first team to train."

Manoro Jimenez gave an order, and the young players of the second team in training were all confused.

It's about promoting them to the first team.

It sounds temporary, but it's a big deal.

It has long been heard that the first team now has a large number of internationals, preparing for the Copa del Rey match, and is seriously understaffed.

Ramos was the most jumpy, jumping straight to cheer.

David Silva was also overjoyed, he didn't expect to report to the first team so soon.

On the contrary, Modric looks calmer, but the eyes of Yang Hao, who looks outside the barbed wire, are also frequent.

"OK, you guys go and prepare now, and go with Mr. Yang Hao."

"Okay." Ramos cheered loudly.

The seven players whose names were called all ran out as if they were flying, and behind them were a series of envious eyes.

When they passed by Yang Hao's side, they didn't forget to stay and greet Yang Hao.

It didn't take long for these 7 players to take their luggage, run out of the locker room, and follow Yang Hao and them.

The Mahada Hongda training base is actually very small, and the training ground of the second team and the first team is not a few steps away.

But for the vast majority of players, these few steps are sometimes like a moat, insurmountable.

They can only stand here every time, watching their teammates jump over with envy and even jealousy.

It's really brutal!

But that's football!

……

On the evening of September 10.

San Sebastian de los Reyes, a northern suburb of Madrid, Spain.

The small town, known for being the largest cactus center in Europe, welcomed a football match that attracted the attention of many fans in the town.

The largest football stadium in the town is just east of the town, next to the IKEA and Carrefour shopping centers, and can only accommodate 3,000 people.

Before it was game time, the small stadium with only the west stands was full, and even the other three sides without the stands were full of fans who had bought tickets to enter the stadium.

The number of people is by no means smaller than the fans in the stands.

Tonight, the team that came here for the match was Atletico Madrid.

One of the two strongest teams in South Madrid.

When Yang Hao walked into this small city with the players, he turned to look at the crowded stands, and saw the fans standing all around, and suddenly remembered the village BA and village super that he had gone to see in his previous life.

Especially when he saw that the window of the apartment building in the north was also crowded with fans watching the game, he suddenly seemed to be back in 2023, as if he had returned to that game, although the facilities were very simple, although the ball skills were not good, but it was really very lively, and everyone was very happy in the village league.

At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through him.

Perhaps, this is the right direction.

Essentially, it's a show, a piece of entertainment.

The so-called rooted community, isn't that?

When explaining the precautions to the players later, Yang Hao didn't say much, just told them, "Enjoy this game, don't be pressured, show yourself to the fullest, and let everyone in the audience cheer for you!" ”

"Go ahead!"

Atletico did not have a single key player scheduled for tonight.

Of course, Cech is not an absolute workhorse at the moment.

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech;

Defence: Antonio López, Pochettino, Marchena, Alves;

Midfielders: Gabi and Marcos Senna form a back two, with Arjen Robben, Andres Iniesta and Villa in front;

Forward: Didier Drogba.

This is a completely asymmetrical game, and the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Atletico know, the opponents know, and the fans in the stadium know.

But they still shouted very loudly, very lively, and very excited.

Especially in the 12th minute of the game, when they saw the Atletico Madrid players continue to pass the ball, Robben suddenly started on the left flank, and immediately shook off the defenders a few streets, they were all stunned.

Speed is always the element on the pitch that can stimulate the hormones of fans.

Robben forced a breakthrough with his speed, smashed into the penalty area, and then passed to the front post.

Andres Iniesta scored from close range, 1-0!

All the fans in the stadium were cheering them on.

The San Sebastian players didn't mind either, happily getting up and continuing the game.

Even the goalkeeper took the initiative to shake hands with Iniesta.

"You'll have to give me an autograph when I go back and I know who broke my goal!"

Hearing this shout, everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

What about the competition, big brother, it's too late for you to sign autographs, right?

But really no one cares.

In fact, they are very professional and very hard-working.

They tried hard to show themselves in front of Atletico and prove their quality, but it was really difficult.

In the 23rd minute, Villa received a pass from Gabi in the penalty area, scored again with a clever shot.

Then, the goals seemed like a matter of course, one after the other.

Four goals were scored in the first half alone.

In the first 10 minutes of the second half, two more points were scored, 6-0.

Yang Hao directly took one breath and replaced Ramos, David Silva and Modric all on the field.

Pochettino, Marcos Senna and Didier Drogba, who scored a hat-trick, were replaced.

The Ivorian really can't stay on the pitch anymore, it's just ridiculous.

Pick up your feet and hit, and the probe will be topped, as if you never know what it means to be merciful.

After the substitution, Villa went up, Andres Iniesta went to the right, David Silva played in the number ten position and Luka Modric played in the back midfield.

As a result, Atletico's offensive continued unabated, scoring three more goals.

Villa also scored a hat-trick, with Arjen Robben and David Silva also scoring a goal each.

In the end, Atletico beat San Sebastian 9-0.

What made Yang Hao feel particularly funny was that there were two players on the other side who didn't even have names, and they didn't register or register.

But I have to say that the game was really fun, and there were not even yellow cards.

Can you believe it?

In a football match, there was no yellow card.

This battle allowed Yang Hao to further deepen his understanding of the community football culture in Spain.

Perhaps, many years from now, people will remember that Ramos, David Silva and Modric all made their first appearances for Atletico today, in this game.

So, after the game, Atletico agreed to the request of the San Sebastian club, and everyone in the team took a group photo with their players in front of the stands full of fans.

……

On the bus back to the city, everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the game just now.

All the players are happy and it's really good to play like that, a couple of games a year.

Of course, the schedule is also reasonable, and the proximity to the city of Madrid avoids long walks.

But Yang Hao received a message on the bus.

Barcelona actually lost.

Lost to a team that is also in La C, Novida.

When Yang Hao heard the news, his first reaction was, did Barcelona not go all out?

But when Yang Hao checked, it wasn't at all.

Kluivert, Luis Enrique and other internationals did not play, and Belletti also went back to Brazil to report, but Barcelona was still strong in this game.

Giovanni, Riquelme, Roshenbach, Gerrard, Thiago Motta, Xavi, Gabri, Fernando Navarro, De Boer, Reziger, Saviola, Mendieta, Cristanbal......

The goalkeeper is Enke.

Yang Hao felt very strange, such a lineup, you said that if you lost to Atletico Madrid, then forget it, losing to a La Liga team is barely acceptable, it can be regarded as an upset.

But now it has lost to the team of West C.

It's outrageous!

Yang Hao swore that if he wrote like this in it, he would be scolded to death by the fans.

What's the most interesting?

Barcelona was the first to score, and then it was reversed, and it was quite hard.

This made Yang Hao feel very absurd.

"There must be big problems within this team." Yang Hao said very firmly.

Only this explanation can prove why Barcelona were reversed away from home by a Spanish side in La C.

Even half of these players are good enough to kill their opponents.

"The internal friction is very serious, and Van Gaal is not having a good time." Juanma Lillo agreed with Yang Hao's judgment.

If Yang Hao remembers correctly, Van Gaal's season should have been out of class in the middle of the season, but he forgot the specific when, thinking that he should be able to survive the winter break.

……

Sure enough.

As soon as the second round of the Copa del Rey was over, with Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid both winning by big scores, Barcelona's defeat was particularly shocking and was overwhelmingly criticized and questioned by many media.

Especially the Catalan media.

They were already at odds with Van Gaal, and now they are seizing the opportunity and not hurrying to fall into the trap?

And Yang Hao's guess was quickly confirmed.

Riquelme has publicly stated that he does not have the trust he deserves at Barca.

"I knew that Barcelona signed me because they saw my performance in Argentina, they recognized my ability and appreciated my talent, but when I came to Europe, I couldn't understand that the coach always asked me to defend, defend, defend."

"I'm curious, did Barcelona buy me to defend?"

Riquelme's words undoubtedly completely exposed the internal contradictions in the Barcelona dressing room.

It's really problematic.

In addition to this conflict, goalkeeper Robert Enke from Germany has also received a lot of criticism.

It was his first game for Barcelona, and he conceded three goals, not to mention that he was also responsible for the goals he conceded, which led to extreme dissatisfaction with his performance in the Catalan media.

Van Gaal is the manager, Riquelme is the soul core of the team for two years, so I'm sorry, Robert Enke can only be the target of media bombardment.

……

On the evening of September 14, the Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

In the second round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Sevilla.

Since he was going to challenge Arsenal at Highbury Stadium on the 17th, Yang Hao had to make some adjustments in this game.

In Yang Hao's strategy, the top priority this season is to ensure the stability of the league results.

After selling several players in a row, his demand for the Champions League is to qualify for the group stage, especially in the first stage of the group stage, which must be qualified, which cannot be missed.

And the league is also a long-term battle, which is also very important.

Yang Hao could only stagger the players and arrange rotations.

Just eight minutes into the game, Kaka sent a diagonal cross from Villa on the right flank after receiving a return pass from Villa on the right flank, and Torres took advantage of his height to leap high between the two Sevilla centre-backs and head home to open the scoring for Atletico.

These two partners who have been working together in the youth team for a long time, even in La Liga, still seem to have a tacit understanding.

As soon as Kaka rubbed it, Torres knew how to go to the top.

What everyone didn't expect was that just one minute later, when Sevilla kicked off and were ready to attack Atletico's midfield, Simeone's steal intercepted the ball and quickly handed it to Kaka in the gap.

The Brazilian always remembered Yang Hao's reminder that the attack just now was when he burst to the right side with the ball and handed it to Villa.

This time, he still started directly after getting the ball, and burst with the ball.

As soon as he rushed past the midfield, he saw that the opponent's goalkeeper Notario was standing too far away.

Kaka weighed the distance between himself and the goal, and a bold idea came to him.

"Remember, Kaka, you should kick however you want, don't hesitate!"

Yang Hao's words echoed in his mind, Kaka strode the ball out, and he suddenly accelerated, and after catching up at a faster speed, he took advantage of this inertia to face the football is a kick.

All the Atletico fans in the stadium were stunned.

A long-range shot from 30 meters away!

Everyone's eyes follow the arc of the ball.

By the time Sevilla's goalkeeper Notario realised the danger, it was too late for him to turn and retreat, so he had to step back with his back to the goal, his eyes fixed on Kaka's long-range shot.

When the ball came, he knew he was too late, so he jumped behind him, reaching as high as he could with his right hand to get the ball out.

Vaguely, Notario didn't know if he was delusional, as if his fingertips had touched it.

But the ball still fell to the goal behind him.

The Sevilla goalkeeper fell heavily on the pitch.

"Wow!!!"

In an instant, the entire Calderón stadium was filled with the exclamations of Atletico Madrid fans.

Everyone rushed out of their seats, all frantically shouting Kaka's name.

The Brazilian genius turned and ran in excitement, making his trademark prayer of goal celebration gestures along the way, before finally hugging Torres and the others on the sidelines.

"Atletico are so good!"

"In just 10 minutes, two goals in a row!"

"It's unbelievable."

"Tonight at Calderón Stadium, maybe it's going to be another crazy slaughter!"

'Sevilla's goalkeeper Notario was responsible for the second goal conceded, he was too far away.

"2-0, Kaka's performance is very eye-catching!"

"One pass and one shot, he's an absolute genius!"

Today is still two watches, kneeling and begging for a monthly pass!!
