After beating Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid won 12 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 14 rounds of league games, accumulating 37 points, which is very gratifying.

In second place is Real Madrid with 27 points, Valencia is third with 25 points and Deportivo La Coruna is fourth with 24 points.

Barcelona have been in a bad situation in recent times, with only 19 points and falling to 11th place.

This actually reflects a problem of Barcelona now, the results are up and down, and they are very unstable.

And a very important reason is that Barcelona's midfield and defense are relatively stretched.

Especially in this round, the 1-5 away loss to Malaga, to paraphrase General Fan's words: Don't lose X face!

Once again, the sound of Rijkaard's dismissal was noisy.

What made Barcelona even more embarrassing was that in the 15th round of La Liga three days later, at the Camp Nou, two giant teams with the same disease met, and as a result, Barcelona lost 1-2 to Real Madrid.

The Galaxy Battleship said: I lost to Atletico Madrid, it is indeed a little powerless, but if I beat you a little Barcelona, I can pinch you to death with two fingers!

Carlos and Ronaldo's goals really pinched Barcelona.

Kluivert didn't score a consolation goal until just before the end of the game.

Before that, Real Madrid had not won at Camp Nou for 20 years.

After the game, the whole of Catalonia was in mourning, and the cries for Rijkaard's dismissal were like a tsunami.

The most puzzling thing is that Rijkaard has come up with a set of tactics that are simply unbelievable in this kind of game.

442。

Up front is Kluivert's partner Luis Garcia.

In midfield, there is a back four of Cocu, Xavi, Thiago Motta and Gerrard.

In the second half, when the score was behind, Rijkaard adjusted his tactics, and Ovimas and Quaresma came off the bench to return to 433, and Barcelona's performance began to improve significantly.

Kluivert's goal was scored by Guardesma's assist for Kluivert.

This is not only incomprehensible to the media and fans, but also to professionals.

Even if you're afraid of Real Madrid, you won't be conservative like this, right?

In the last round, they lost 1-5 to Málaga, which had not lost in 27 years, and in this round they lost 1-2 at home to Real Madrid, which had not lost at home in 20 years, which is simply outrageous.

Funnily enough, the angry Barcelona fans not only besieged head coach Rijkaard and demanded that he leave class, but also besieged Laporta and other management, and even smashed a bus parked outside the Camp Nou after the game.

Coke bottles, eggs, leather shoes, burning sticks...... Anyway, I threw a lot of them in, and even got into a physical altercation with the police.

It turned out that it was not the bus of Real Madrid, it was the bus arranged by Barcelona to pick up and drop off media reporters.

Atletico Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 at home thanks to a brace from Villa in this round.

……

Three days later, in the final round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid played away to PSV Eindhoven.

It was a game that belonged to Robben.

In the 14th minute of the first half, the Dutch teenager used a breakthrough on the left side to assist Drogba to score.

At the beginning of the second half, he scored a goal in the 48th minute.

After taking a 2-goal lead, Yang Hao made another substitution.

David Silva, Luka Modric, and Messi are three youngsters on the field one after another.

What?

Why forgot Ramos?

How can it be.

He started the game and partnered Pepe.

And in the 83rd minute, Modric had a beautiful stop on the periphery of the penalty area and sent a through pass, Villa slanted into the right rib of the penalty area, stopped the ball past the Eindhoven defender, and hit the goal with his left foot.

3 to 0!

But in stoppage time, John de Jong scored a goal for PSV Eindhoven.

In the end, Atletico beat PSV Eindhoven 3-1 away.

So far, all 6 rounds of the Champions League group stage have ended, and Atletico Madrid and Monaco have joined hands to qualify.

After playing Eindhoven on the 10th, at noon on the 12th, UEFA held a draw for the Champions League round of 16 knockout round at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Of the eight teams that finished second in the group, there are two La Liga teams, plus Monaco, so there are not many options left for Atletico.

In fact, Yang Hao really wants to draw Mourinho's Porto.

There is no reason, just to send Mourinho back to his hometown as soon as possible, so that he can also feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, I didn't draw Porto, but drew Bayern Munich.

This pick is not bad either.

Bayern Munich have not played well in the group stage this year and Heathfield's side are feeling a bit of a dilemma right now.

Yang Hao is still looking forward to the first leg in Munich, allowing Bayern to test Atletico's recent progress.

What really surprised Yang Hao was that Real Madrid actually drew Monaco.

It's a bit of a joke.

When Yang Hao heard the news, the whole person was really ...... Inexplicable joy.

Could it be that the great journey of the Champions League Sixteen Lang is about to be advanced?

But it's hard to say, because Real Madrid now has more Cannavaro and Vieira than in the previous life, and the back line is not really that sparse.

In this case, Deschamps' Monaco may not be able to beat Real Madrid.

Of course, if you can continue to play to Morientes' high ball advantage, there is still a good chance.

The centre-back combination of Cannavaro and Elguera is a bit weak in defending high balls.

As for Pavon, the poor youngster has been scolded miserably this season.

……

December 13, round 16 of La Liga.

Barcelona scored three goals in a row after conceding one goal away and reversed Espanyol 3-1.

But what's the most outrageous thing about this game?

It showed 6 red cards, 3 for each side.

What's more, there is nothing wrong with these six red cards.

In other words, in Yang Hao's previous life, the Dream Second Team, which countless fans talked about, is still a violent team.

So much so that after the game, many media are calling on the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga to strengthen the training of referees, strengthen the ability to control the field, and avoid letting the game evolve into such an unmanageable funny scene.

It's all derby, look at the Madrid derby, look at the Barcelona derby, the gap is too big.

Atletico Madrid narrowly beat Celta Vigo 2-1 away, Real Madrid narrowly beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-1 at home, and Valencia beat Real Betis 1-0 away.

……

December 16, the third round of the Copa del Rey.

Atletico Madrid went north to challenge León Culture and Sports.

Yang Hao continued to face Leon Culture and Sports with a lineup of all young players, while the young players of the Bed Sheet Legion firmly locked the situation with their skillful passing and cutting skills.

In the opening 24 minutes, Andres Iniesta assisted Villa to score.

After the second half, the game was completely transformed into Andres Iniesta's individual show.

In the 75th and 86th minutes, he assisted Robben to score and rewrite the score to 3-0.

In the end, in stoppage time, he scored a goal himself.

Assist a hat trick and give away a free goal, Iniesta's performance made Yang Hao very satisfied.

The outstanding performance of this group of young players in the team also brought Yang Hao a strong sense of confidence.

They will all become the reserve army of the team in the second half of the team, multi-front operations, and strong backing for protracted battles.

……

After returning to Madrid, the team immediately ushered in the 17th round of La Liga.

It was also the team's last game before Christmas.

Atletico beat Racing Santander 3-1 at home.

Valencia beat Sevilla 1-0.

Deportivo La Coruna beat Espanyol 2-1.

Real Madrid reversed Real Mallorca 3-1 away.

Barcelona drew 1-1 at home to Celta Vigo.

All the matches before the winter break are over, and the top four standings remain largely unchanged.

Barcelona rose to 11th place with one point from the draw with Celta Vigo.

……

When La Liga began to shut down and ushered in the winter break, the final finale of European football was also freshly released.

At 17:45 p.m. on December 22, the French TV channel Canal+ broadcast a 40-minute interview program as scheduled.

In this program, the editor-in-chief of the French football magazine officially announced that the winner of the 2003 European Footballer of the Year, that is, the European Ballon d'Or, is the Brazilian striker from Inter Milan, Adriano!

For a moment, the whole world was cheering for the Brazilian striker.

Because on December 15 in Basel, Switzerland, FIFA also held an award ceremony, and the winner of the 2003 World Footballer of the Year was also Adriano!

Mr. Double!

Adriano also appeared on the live show, he brought his parents to attend, and recently had a pretty girlfriend who seemed to be happy.

In fact, when he received the award in Switzerland, FIFA invited Yang Hao to participate, but at that time, he was going to lead the team to play the Copa del Rey, and he really couldn't spare time, but Adriano thanked Yang Hao with tears when he received the award.

And he will win the Golden Globe Award, Yang Hao actually knew it for a long time.

The earliest official channel is indeed this talk show, but the French football magazine will publish a photo of the Ballon d'Or winner early tomorrow morning, as well as an interview with him and his family in the French football magazine, which will have to be prepared in advance.

When Adriano received a call from the French football magazine, he knew he had won the prize.

That was even before the FIFA award ceremony.

He called Yang Hao as soon as possible, and then went to inform the others.

In a live TV interview, Adriano spoke about his past career, including the hardships he and his family have endured, and said he cherishes what he has now.

"In my life, I want to thank two people the most, one is my father, who gave me life, accompanied and educated me through my childhood, and the other is Yang Hao, who helped me grow into a responsible and responsible man."

When Yang Hao saw Adriano say these words on TV, he couldn't help but be moved.

But at this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID is Adriano.

Yang Hao's first reaction was:, is the live broadcast connected?

I haven't seen this paragraph yet?

……

The next day, with the release of the French football magazine, major media around the world reported on Adriano's win of the Double Footballer of the Year.

This Brazilian striker is also in the limelight and momentum, overtaking his predecessor Ronaldo, and has become the hottest top striker in world football today, and can even be said to be the first striker.

Yang Hao has once again become the focus of attention of media reporters, especially his relationship with Adriano.

In last night's live TV broadcast, Adriano directly took out his mobile phone, called Yang Hao, and told Yang Hao with tears and laughter that he finally met Yang Hao's expectations of him back then, and he finally succeeded in winning the two highest awards for professional players.

Iron man tenderness!

That's what all the media around the world said about the call.

Everyone can feel Adriano's heartfelt respect and gratitude to Yang Hao.

This also made Yang Hao once again the focus of media attention around the world.

Especially now Atletico Madrid, La Liga is far ahead, and Adriano, who was trained by Yang Hao, has won the double Footballer of the Year, which makes everyone have to admire this young talented young coach.

And the more they dug, the more everyone found that there were too many mysteries on Yang Hao.

In this connection, Yang Hao praised Adriano.

But in a private call after the show, Yang Hao warned Adriano that he must guard against arrogance and rashness.

Adriano is only 21 years old, and winning Mr. Double is enough to put him on par with his predecessor Ronaldo, but he needs to do better and demand more from himself.

"You can surpass everyone else and achieve more, you know?"

As early as after Inter Milan won the Champions League and Serie A last season, Yang Hao knew that Adriano winning the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer was a high probability event.

But now he is more worried that Adriano will slack off.

This is the norm for many professional players these days.

The reason why Messi and Ronaldo are great is that they are not only young geniuses, but also have continued this peak state for ten years, which is the most terrifying.

And before them, didn't young geniuses such as Ronaldinho and Owen fall quickly after becoming famous?

Yang Hao also made a special call to Adriano's father to remind him to pay attention.

"He can achieve even more, don't let him stop!"

Not to mention that Adriano is now a player of Inter Milan, even if he is still at Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao has no way to control many things.

He's just a manager.

This is just like parents and children, children grow up, they have to learn to let go.

If you keep holding on to it, the contradictions will only become more and more, bigger and bigger, and finally the trouble will be out of control.

Therefore, now Yang Hao attaches great importance to cultural education for Messi, Kaka, Iniesta and others, starting from character and thought, to help them establish a more correct three views.

He believes it will help the players go further.

And Adriano, he will continue to watch from the sidelines.

This is what he cultivated, the first Mr. Golden Ball!

……

"When will we have to wait until we have our very own World Footballer of the Year and Ballon d'Or?"

When Little Hill asked this question, Yang Hao was standing in front of the window of the office of the president of Atletico Madrid, looking at a group of designers who were measuring in the distance, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

All over the world, no matter where and no matter when, civil construction is painstaking.

Everyone else has already started to celebrate the Christmas holidays, and the employees of these construction companies are still working.

In his previous life, he also had friends who were engaged in civil construction, and they had a lot of hardship.

build a bridge across the sea and blow the sea breeze for a few years; I built a tunnel and spent a few more years in the mountains, all in the kind of place where you have to run several kilometers to buy a pack of cigarettes.

It's thirty years old, and the girl's hand hasn't been held yet.

As soon as he thought about it, Yang Hao especially wanted to laugh.

"Yang, what are you happy about, let's talk to you." Little Ciel leaned in, curious.

He saw the survey teams too.

"Oh, those are the survey engineers of the MP13 construction company."

Yang Haochai also guessed, "The architectural design has been contracted?" ”

"No, before we do it, we must first measure the plot and do a good job of site planning, so we hired a professional site master planning project partner, a well-known architectural design company in Madrid."

"Measure the data, and they will help us come up with a master plan for the site, including where and how to build the stadium, buildings and roads, etc., anyway, that's basically it, and then entrust it to a more professional architectural design company to take care of the design."

Yang Hao sighed, but he didn't understand.

Cerezo also saw that Yang Hao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and immediately explained, "We are now in Madrid, where every inch of land is valuable, so we must fill the entire plot completely and not waste it." ”

This Yang Hao understands, just like those developers in the previous life who looked at the floor area ratio, they are all building with the floor area ratio.

"In addition, didn't the city government require us to have a uniform aura style? As you can see, basically all football stadiums nowadays are basically the kind of fixed templates, and it is a bit difficult to achieve the same style as the surrounding buildings, but once it is made, it will definitely be a stadium that will dazzle the world. ”

Yang Hao understands that football stadiums are all bowls, stands, and a lot of functional facilities, and it is really difficult to come up with fresh tricks, especially with the current level of construction.

In my previous life, I had seen a lot of exquisite designs, but I couldn't build them at the current level, and they didn't meet the requirements of the Madrid government, and they didn't match the surrounding architectural styles.

For example, his favorite SOFI course in the United States.

You don't have to think about the Allianz Arena, they have already designed it.

"This MP13 has a strong business ability, and they often take on some public projects, including the renovation design of some blocks and the renovation of old neighborhoods, and they are very familiar with the situation in Madrid and Spain, so we hired them to do the site master plan, and they will also connect with the relevant departments of the city government and the main designer when the time comes."

Yang Hao understood.

"The direction he gave us before is very valuable, the red bricks of the Plaza Mayor in the center of the city, the bricks are arched, the former is the material, the latter is the construction technology, all have traditional Spanish characteristics."

Yang Hao has been to Plaza Mayor, where the exterior walls of the buildings are all red bricks, and the shops on the first floor are a bit like arcades.

Then it's up to the designers to incorporate these elements into the stadium construction.

"According to the preliminary estimate of the current plot, the land of our stadium is smaller than the land of the Marao Brewery, and we need to add the land acquired in the middle to catch up with MSM."

The building in the middle is not very large, and the building is not high, and it has been negotiated several times before and it has been agreed to be sold.

"How much does it cost to acquire the middle piece of land?" Yang Hao asked with concern.

"It's almost 100 million euros."

Yang Hao secretly screamed in his heart.

In the heart of the Spanish capital, it is really expensive to buy a building and a warehouse!

"Don't worry, the team's revenue is still rising this year, there is no big problem at the moment, and we will take the form of installments, the first fund is expected to be 40 million euros, and then the club will squeeze it."

Yang Hao now once again experienced the hardships of buying a house in his previous life.

Work hard to make a down payment, and then have to pay off the mortgage every month, and then you have to save money, and finally save a little money, so you can pay it back first, and live a bitter life every day, sometimes think about it, what do you want?

After all, isn't it just to have a comfortable nest of your own?

Now Atletico is the same.

In the next few years, when the economic crisis comes, a large number of moths can toss you to death, and every department and all kinds of people will come out to make things difficult for you.

Needless to say, the matter of being the richest man in 100 million.

Tesla's construction of a factory in Germany is another case.

If Atletico doesn't take advantage of the present time to get started, they will have to move to the outlying suburbs in the future.

If you think about it this way, do you think that it is worth it if you work hard now and can only build a new stadium?

Before Yang Hao crossed, Real Madrid invested a lot of money in the transformation of the Bernabeu, and later heard that it was not enough, and it was necessary to continue to invest......

Tottenham Hotspur built that new stadium, and in a few years, the budget went up and down.

But as long as the new stadium is built, the situation will be completely different.

"Eh, what did you just ask me?" Yang Hao asked Little Hill.

Little Hill repeated his question again.

"It's not that easy." Yang Hao smiled.

When it comes to architectural design, he doesn't understand, but when it comes to football, I'm sorry, he's really an expert.

"I ask you, if we win the double of La Liga and the Champions League, and Adriano is in our team, do you guess he can win the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year?"

Little Ciel and Cerezo looked at each other, and they couldn't help but fall silent.

"Personally, I don't think it's very likely." Yang Hao gave the answer.

Atletico have won a double or even a treble before, but it didn't cause much movement.

"The European Ballon d'Or is judged by reporters, and the World Footballer of the Year is judged by FIFA and the national team, as long as it is selected by such a small circle, basically there is no need to expect any justice, fairness and openness."

Whether it is a French football magazine or FIFA, the awards they give are never fair.

Didn't someone say it?

In 2001, why was Figo able to win? What did Zidane take in 2003?

The Golden Globes are actually the same.

In Yang Hao's previous life, many people fought for Iniesta and Xavi, but the problem is that this may have been determined within Barcelona, because Messi is Barcelona's top name.

There are still many people who are unhappy with Ribery and Sneijder and feel aggrieved.

But they are not as popular as Messi and Ronaldo.

There has never been a strict quantitative criterion for the selection of these two awards, has there been?

So why is it easier to get it at the big teams?

Because everybody knows you.

In '04, Deco led Porto to the treble, does anyone know him?

Barcelona played like that, never won the championship, Ronaldinho still won the World Footballer, why?

Because of the popularity!

At that time, the head coaches and captains of the powerful countries basically did not choose him, but the coaches and captains of small countries such as Guinea-Bissau, Iceland, Estonia, and Nicaragua all chose Ronaldinho, as well as Norway and Denmark and other countries.

The reason is likely that they have only heard that Ronaldinho is very good at football.

Of course, it's hard to say any deeper.

For example, PR or something.

There are definitely all of these.

For example, before Shevchenko won the Golden Ball, the then Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi personally called the editor-in-chief of the French football magazine.

'It's a natural thing, and if one day in the future, our club's influence reaches that level, and our relationships with all parties reach that level, then it will come naturally. Yang Hao said.

"I believe that by that time, we will not be what we are now."

If a player wins the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, then Atletico Madrid can really be regarded as a giant.

The influence has arrived.

"Do you think Torres is likely to win the prize?"

"Yes." Yang Hao nodded.

Torres has been in excellent form this season, scoring a flood of goals, and as long as he continues this momentum of improvement, continues to work hard, and improves himself step by step, Yang Hao believes that he will have a chance.

"What about Kaka?"

"Yes." Yang Hao said with great certainty.

"What about the others?"

Yang Hao smiled and didn't speak this time.

What does this make him say?

Tell them that Messi is a great man who is about to win the N Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year?

Tell them that Modric is also a Golden Ball?

Or is there a myriad of fans crying out for the likes of Ribery, Andres Iniesta, Arjen Robben and Drogba in 2023?

Maybe it's because of the years of coaching, Yang Hao has seen a lot and feels different, he now feels that in fact, whether you win the award or not, don't look at it so important, let everyone see you, let all the fans remember you after many, many years, this is far more important than those two awards.

Of course, if you can take it, you still have to take it.

……

Yang Hao went to Calderon Stadium to discuss the matter of this Middle East training.

That is, after Christmas, Atletico Madrid will travel to the Middle East for a week of training.

This is also a partnership between Atletico and its sponsors.

However, Yang Hao won a benefit for the team, and when the time came, not only the players went, but also their families and children could be brought with them.

Naturally, the players go to the training camp, but the family members go on vacation.

Towards Christmas, another incident happened.

Barcelona vice-president Rosell made a phone call to Atletico general manager Hill Jr. to ask about Atletico's price tag for Deco, who they hope to sign the Atletico midfielder during the winter break.

Xiao Hill didn't notify Yang Hao again this time, and directly rejected Russell's inquiry on the phone.

As a result, Barcelona then sent a fax of an offer of 25 million euros, so angry that Little Hill almost called and scolded Russell.

It's so eye-opening!

Want to buy Deco for 25 million euros?

Even if your Barcelona banknotes are pounds, you still can't afford to buy Deco!

I don't care about you!

Then, Atletico didn't even come back.

As is customary, the president of Barcelona will have a few words with the members of Barcelona before Christmas.

Laporta turned into a grievance meeting this time, saying that although Barcelona is in a bad situation right now, the team still does not consider buying any players during the winter break.

Why?

No money!

Laporta told Barça's members that he had taken over a battered Barcelona side.

"I know you might think that's ungraceful, but I really want to say that my ex was an idiot!"

"I really can't understand that Alfonso and Rivaldo, whom we spent a lot of money on, were unconditionally given to other teams by him, mind you, unconditionally."

"Also, some of the players we've brought in are just as puzzling, and I asked the finance department to count the team's spending over the last few years and I found that the amount we paid to our agents was just outrageous."

"A lot of our signings are inexplicable, and here, even if I don't name them, I'm sure you know who the players are."

"And what I can say is that it's all because of the incompetence of the previous president."

Laporta reluctantly said that he also wants to have a strong team, but unfortunately, Barcelona can't come up with the money now, "We can no longer compete with La Liga teams like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid." ”

"As the president of Barcelona, I am extremely saddened by this."

'But I've always inspired my colleagues and inspired everyone at the club, because the club has a difficult time, but we can overcome it because we have thousands of Barça fans behind us and if we stick together, we can get back to where we were.'

As for the change of coach that has been rumored by the outside world, Barcelona also gave a clarification.

There were rumors that Barcelona were going to hire managers such as Hiddink, Scolari and Ronald Koeman to replace Rijkaard, especially Scolari, and even Catalan media took photos of Barcelona vice-president Rosell and Scolari meeting in the Portuguese capital.

However, Laporta also clarified once again that Barcelona has no idea of changing the coach.

Barcelona's godfather Cruyff also supported Rijkaard in the media, believing that there is no problem with the team's current tactics and that the team is not short of stars.

'What we need to point out now is that the attitude of the players on the pitch is a big problem for this.

With the exception of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are not considering bringing in reinforcements during the winter break.

Especially Atletico.

The Sheets are mainly facing poaching, and many teams, including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea, have expressed strong interest in Atletico Madrid's players, but the Sheets have refused.

Yang Hao clearly told all the players at the team's Christmas dinner that the team would not make any moves during this year's winter break.

Because......

"We're going to sprint for the championship in the second half!"

"La Liga, Champions League, even the Copa del Rey!"

Yang Hao's words also encouraged the players in the team.

Thanks to the presence of the players' families, the team's training camp in the Middle East went smoothly and the players' emotions were high.

There was only one week to spare, so there was only a warm-up match against the local team in the middle of the week, which was a practice and a feeling, and then Atletico returned to Madrid.

……

January 3, 2004, La Liga round 18.

Raul's goal in the eighth minute gave Real Madrid a narrow one-goal home win over Murcia.

Atletico Madrid were met with stubborn sniping from Zaragoza on the road, and it was not until the 78th minute of the second half that Fernando Torres played the ball, and Reyes made a crucial strike to break the deadlock for the team.

Deportivo La Coruna beat Celta Vigo 5-0 away.

Valencia beat Villarreal 4-2 at home.

And Barcelona......

Rijkaard's side suffered a 3-0 defeat away at Racing Santander.

Goalkeeper Rustu, who helped Turkey shine at the World Cup, had a very poor performance in this round.

After losing this game, Barcelona fell to 14th place in La Liga.

However, there are still six points left from Celta Vigo, who are 18th in the relegation zone.

In the words of Rijkaard, who was ridiculed by the Spanish media, those six points were enough for him to squander several games.

"Keep trying, Frank, if you want to bring Barcelona into the relegation zone, you have to work harder!"

……

On January 6, in the first leg of the knockout round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid played Deportivo La Coruna.

Yang Hao arranged a large rotation in this game.

Goalkeepers: Palop;

Defenders: Antonio López, Pepe, Marchena and Alves;

Midfielders: Marcos Senna in the middle, Kaka and Iniesta in the middle;

Forwards: Arjen Robben, Didier Drogba and Villa.

The game was very competitive from the start, especially in midfield.

Deportivo La Coruna had just beaten Celta Vigo 5-0 away from home.

It's fair to say that Iruetta's side are on a winning streak, and with little hope in La Liga and the Champions League, they want to make a difference in the Copa del Rey.

Because of this, Deportivo La Coruna attacked Atletico Madrid frantically from the beginning.

The competition is very fierce.

Atletico wanted to keep the ball but couldn't, Deportivo wanted to attack, but it was difficult to get through midfield.

The Sheets worked well together on both flanks, but there were a bit of problems running in midfield.

Marcos Senna defended without problems, but there were some problems with the combination between Andres Iniesta and Kaka, and the two clearly did not work well together, resulting in errors in passing and receiving under the high pressure of Deportivo La Coruna's midfield.

This continued until the end of the first half.

At halftime, Yang Hao continued to communicate with the players.

In the end, he allowed Iniesta to switch places with Kaka.

As a result, just two minutes into the second half, Andres Iniesta sent a wonderful pass to the feet of Drogba in the box.

The Ivorian picked up the ball in the box and hit the back of the net with his foot past Molina to open the scoring for Atletico.

1 to 0!

After that, Atletico gradually took control of the game, especially in midfield.

As soon as the midfield was controlled, the wings immediately became more active.

Andres Iniesta delivered another brilliant pass and Drogba stopped the ball on the right flank.

Villa stopped the ball and stepped into the right side of the penalty area, kicked the goal, and expanded the score to 2-0!

After that, Atletico continued to attack.

Whether it's the midfielders or the two wings, they are starting to play more and more.

Unfortunately, the team then missed two great chances.

Drogba missed one and another with Kaka.

In the end, Atletico beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0.

……

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines, and when he heard the whistle at the end of the game, he was really surprised.

Even, he suddenly had a feeling as if he was about to lose control.

Of course, that's just how he felt when he watched the game.

Because this group of young players is growing up so fast, especially Iniesta.

Needless to say, Kaka is now a very mature player, with Arjen Robben, Villa and Drogba also improving at a rapid pace.

What really made Yang Hao feel a little out of control was Iniesta.

In this game, Iniesta was definitely the best player in the second half, nay, even the whole game.

Both goals came from his planners and assists.

The point is, he's only 19 years old.

"Juanma, I have a feeling that I can't control it right now." Yang Hao laughed.

Juanma Lillo nodded sympathetically, "It's really going too fast, like Robben and Villa, and Andres Iniesta." ”

This is something that everyone who watches the game can see.

In this game, Kaka's performance was not very ideal, which mainly came from the cooperation of his teammates around him.

But it doesn't matter, because it's a process of constant running-in.

Between Iniesta and Kaka, after a long time of cooperation, there will always be a long-term relationship.

"The most important thing you should be thinking about now is what to do next, especially next season." Juanma Lillo smiled wryly.

He was completely unimaginable.

Needless to say, just Iniesta, with his current performance, will he be satisfied with the status quo next season?

He is in the critical period of gaining experience and improving himself quickly.

At this time, he needs more matches the most, and he keeps gaining experience points.

Now, Atletico have Deco, Kaka and Baraja in their squad, all of whom are ahead of Iniesta.

As a result, Iniesta's playing time is limited.

"This happy trouble, leave it to you to think slowly." Juanma Llillo turned around and walked away at Yang Hao.

This is indeed a very headache.

But for Yang Hao, it's not a big problem.

Deco's age has also arrived, so if you can't sell it, you can't sell it.

This was originally Yang Hao's plan.

This season is as good as possible for a wave of results, and then Deco is almost selling.

If you don't sell it, you have to renew the contract with a high salary, and if you want to sell it again, it will be difficult.

At the end of this season, he will be 27 years old, and if he stays, at 28 or 29 years old, will anyone still be willing to pay a high price?

Do you expect to meet a Kaizi like Chelsea like Claude Makelle?

Yang Hao also has a hunch that there will be more and more things like Iniesta in the future, because there are still a group of talents like Iniesta in the Atletico team, and they are all lining up in the back, waiting for the opportunity to play.

However, this will be years in the future.

Among this group of players, the first to emerge is estimated to be Messi, but it will take a year or two of transition.

It's not a good thing for a player to play too early and take on the burden too early.

Therefore, Yang Hao's cultivation of these players is a step-by-step process.

Like now, using Kaka to replace Deco is a very safe handover.

Yang Hao didn't tell anyone what he thought in his heart, even Xiao Ciel and Serezo.

Atletico Madrid are in great need of money now, and even if they really want to sell Deco, they have to sell it for a good price.

Like Barcelona, you want to buy Deco after only 25 million euros?

If it weren't for the lack of money, Yang Hao really wanted to throw out a check and scare them to death, and then said fiercely: "Such a cheap Deco, give 10 to labor and management!" ”

I'm sorry that today's chapter 2 update is too late! Mainly...... You may not believe it, but this chapter was written for a day, and when it came to the new stadium, I spent a lot of time looking up the specific situation of Spain and Madrid and the information about the new stadium, including some architectural styles and other elements, and then I chose the appearance of a new stadium, which is very good, and the style is very compatible, I don't know if anyone can guess? I also know that this actually doesn't make much sense, with this time, it's better to have more code of Braille, but I'm like this, a bit of an obsessive-compulsive Virgo, I have to pass this level in my heart, I can write, there are a lot of book friends, forgive me, ha...... I'm definitely going to write late tonight, and I'm not sure I'll be on time for that chapter at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, so I'll tell you first, I'll definitely try to get it as early as possible, thank you!!
