Entering October, it has ushered in two weeks of international matches, and the Atletico Madrid coaching staff still can't rest.

Review is a very necessary process, which can help Yang Hao and the coaching staff to understand the situation of the team more clearly.

For now, the situation in La Liga is still uncertain.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are both 5-1 and have 15 points, but Atletico are at the top of the table thanks to goal difference.

Valencia is now in third place with 14 points.

Sevilla FC are fourth with 11 points.

What about Real Madrid?

With 3 wins and 3 losses, they are 10th with 9 points, but slightly better than Deportivo La Coruna, with Iruetta's side only 8 points, they are 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

This actually supports Yang Hao's previous views to some extent.

As more and more teams become familiar with and master the new offside rules, the high pressing tactics used by Irueta will continue to be challenged and impacted.

Atletico and Barcelona's main areas of possession and stealing are now not high and are near the halfway line.

Next, with the improvement of the training level, the player's running ability will continue to improve, and the control range will increase, and then there will be a chance to achieve the same style of play as Yang Hao in his previous life and when Guardiola dreamed of the third team.

But Yang Hao is considering whether this is necessary.

Because if you keep crushing your opponent so hard, will the effect really be better?

As it stands, Real Mallorca are now bottom of the table after Aragonés went to coach the national team, Real Sociedad won one game against Atletico Madrid and are second from the bottom, and Athletic Bilbao are third from the bottom.

But what Yang Hao thinks about the most is Atletico Madrid's own problems.

After playing Real Sociedad, Marchena also realized his problem, and he took the initiative to apologize to Yang Hao, his reason was that he was too good at the time and his emotions were a little out of control.

The foul on Kovacevic was an act of revenge.

He'll be deeply reflective.

Of course, Yang Hao also accepted his apology, but some things were lost, and it was not so easy to get them back.

For example, trust.

Players play on the pitch like the executors of the manager's tactics, or the arms of the manager.

If the brain doesn't trust the arm, what else can it do?

Yang Hao is more thinking about the current situation of the team and sorting out the next plan.

Judging by their performances over the past few games, both Ramos and Pepe are not mature enough.

The general situation in European football is that good centre-backs are scarce.

Including like Marchena, if Atletico Madrid is released, European teams dare not say it, but La Liga teams are determined to break the head, and even Real Madrid and Barcelona may participate in the competition, and the transfer fee will not be low.

Yang Hao doesn't think about money now, after selling four players last summer and making a lot of money, he doesn't need to worry about money in the short term.

The question is how to deal with the team's hidden problems at the back?

Bringing in a high-level centre-back with instant combat power is expensive without thinking about it.

Even the price quoted by Valencia to an old man like Ayala who is over thirty is not cheap.

This is still now, and in a few years, the value of the central defender will be like riding a rocket.

Back then, Real Madrid signed Pepe for 30 million euros, and everyone thought it was outrageous, but when you look at it later, is it expensive?

High-end goods, that is, expensive!

All people are not stupid.

How can a player who has shown immediacy, who is young and has potential, be cheap?

Zivo's transfer from Ajax to Roma cost nearly 20 million.

Previously, scouts recommended Albacete's Pablo Ibañez, a senior defender who had also joined Atletico Madrid in his previous life and had a period of good performances, but in the end he did not live up to expectations and was only 23 years old.

In the end, Yang Hao figured it out by himself, and there were three candidates.

Leverkusen's Brazilian central defender Juan is not tall, but he performed well at Leverkusen, and in Yang Hao's previous life, he and Lucio also cooperated very well, one high and one fast, quite complementary.

But judging from what Yang Hao knows so far, Bayer Leverkusen won the third place in the Bundesliga last season, Juan performed well, and if he doesn't have more than 10 million euros, don't think about taking Juan away.

The other is Vidic, who plays for Spartak Moscow in the Russian Premier League.

The player's transfer fee is within Atletico's affordability.

In Yang Hao's previous life, after Vidic joined Manchester United, the double central defenders formed with Ferdinand almost became one of the strongest central defenders in the Premier League, which is indeed quite good.

Nemanja Vidic, a centre-back, is characterised by tackling.

Rio Ferdinand was able to buy Alex Ferguson for a staggering price because of his skill at his feet, his passing and his ability to command defence.

In the combination of Ferdinand and Vidic, it was Vidic who grabbed it.

The Serbian centre-back was a young man with good speed, a very tenacious style and a very aggressive fight, so he was always at the front, with Rio Ferdinand dragging behind, but also taking on the burden of directing the defence and playing the ball at the back.

Vidic is definitely a world-class central defender, but when Yang Hao was coding words in his previous life, he specially collected and studied some data of Vidic, not to mention the defense, it is the top one.

But his passing can't be said to be bad, but it can only be considered passing.

Since his arrival in the Premier League, his pass completion rate has been around 80 per cent for the first few years, and has since improved until the 12/13 season, where he has been stable at around 87 per cent.

As a comparison, Pepe's pass success rate is basically around 85%, and it will be relatively high in the later stage, close to 90%; Ramos was similar to Pepe in the early stage, and at the peak of his career, he was basically more than 90%.

Yang Hao looked at the season statistics of the entire league at that time, and the number was very large, and it was very difficult to increase by 1 percentage point.

Judging from Atletico Madrid's current overall tactics, the future will definitely further improve the ability to pass and control the ball, so whether it is the player's speed, passing ability, or technique, Yang Hao values it very much.

A centre-back like Nemanja Vidic was bought and would have to be reused, but his passing and skill at his feet could be a big obstacle to his integration into Atletico's tactics.

What's more, his defensive characteristics and physicality could make him suffer in this environment in La Liga.

What about Thiago Silva?

Speaking of which, Yang Hao really has to thank himself for his more genuine Virgo obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The reason why he is interested in the statistics of these central defenders is that when he was preparing a book and happened to be collecting materials, he saw that a big man in the Tiger Forum shared his statistics of 15 European central defenders in the 21/22 season.

After Yang Hao saw it at that time, he felt that his eyes lit up, and he dug the groove directly.

Why?

Because Thiago Silva is directly a whole row of all the red, all of them are the top data.

In particular, his passes, not only have the most passes per game, but also have the highest success rate, not only in his own half, but also in the opposition half.

Even the long passes are the most and the highest, reaching about 65%.

This is simply explosive data, far ahead.

When it comes to defense, his statistics are slightly less eye-catching than passing, but his overall level and stability are still the first among the dozen or so European first-line central defenders.

What's more, in those days, he conceded the least number of possessions per game, committed the fewest fouls per game, didn't even make mistakes that led to shots and goals, and didn't give penalties.

When Yang Hao saw this data at that time, he really felt a feeling of numbness on his scalp.

You know, that's the 21/22 season, when Thiago Silva was 37 years old.

The only drawback is that the average number of duels per game is less, obviously also considering his age, but the success rate is the highest.

So, he went to check Thiago Silva's historical data again, and then exclaimed.

Since Thiago Silva's arrival at AC Milan, his pass completion rate has never been lower than 90 per cent.

Even putting aside the anti-sky data of about 95% at every turn during the Ligue 1 period, it reached 92% in Serie A around 10 years ago.

Someone else's ceiling is the soles of his feet.

Of course, in the Champions League, it will be relatively worse than his statistics in Serie A, after all, AC Milan was not very competitive at that time, but he was properly at more than 86% of the pass success rate, and when it came to Paris Saint-Germain, it was still more than 90%, and even the highest was 96%.

And what about Van Dijk, who is known as the representative of the central defender who has been played by countless people?

Leaving aside his stats at Southampton, because it's only around 85 per cent, let's just say his stats at Liverpool, which is in the range of 89-91 per cent.

Thiago Silva's passing statistics during his time in the Premier League were no worse than those of Manchester City's centre-backs.

And everyone knows how much advantage Manchester City's centre-backs have in terms of passing statistics, let alone defensive statistics, thanks to Pep Guardiola's passing and possession tactics.

Note that he was 37 years old at this time.

Therefore, after several trade-offs, Yang Hao chose Thiago Silva.

In his plan, Pepe, Ramos and Thiago Silva, the three central defenders could bring more than a decade of stability to Atletico's backline.

And he's still wondering, since Deco is back in the Brazilian national team, what about Pepe?

According to the current situation, he will definitely not be able to join Portugal, so will he choose to join the Spanish national team like Marcos Senna? Or back to the Brazilian national team?

With the three top central defenders in the future, what else does Yang Hao have to consider?

So, he chose Thiago Silva at that time and invited him to Madrid for a tryout.

The reason why it was a trial instead of a direct signing was because Yang Hao also wanted to see how much level Thiago Silva really had and his physical condition.

The only thing he has at his disposal now is that Thiago Silva is the best centre-back in Brazil's domestic league in the past 2004.

But he has only changed from a winger to a central defender for more than half a year, and Yang Hao still has to observe again.

As for Nesta's guidance to him in his previous life, none of this was a problem.

Atletico now have a dedicated defensive coach to coach the players, which can still help him improve quickly.

The only thing that worries Yang Hao is Thiago Silva's tuberculosis.

According to Yang Hao's previous life, Thiago Silva's own interview revealed that he was recommended to Jorge Mendes at the end of 2004 and came to Porto through Mendes' connections.

At the time he was already the best centre-back in Brazil.

And when he first arrived in Porto, I don't know if it was because of the lack of adaptation or other reasons, which caused him chest pain, frequent fever, cough and night sweats, and everyone thought it was homesickness and missed his girlfriend in Brazil.

At that time, the team doctors, including Porto, did not think of tuberculosis.

It is also for this reason that Thiago Silva is not taken seriously in Porto and his performance is not ideal.

In the summer of 2005, Spartak Moscow wanted to restructure the team and work with Mendes, so Ivo Watman, who had been coaching well in Brazil, went there to coach, and he bought Thiago Silva, who was not welcomed in Porto.

When it was bought, it was 2.5 million euros, and when it was sold, Porto sold for 3.5 million euros.

Thiago Silva earned €1 million for Porto without playing a single game.

After arriving in Russia, his chest pain became more severe, and after going to the hospital for examination, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, his entire right lung turned white, and his left lung also showed symptoms, and the problem was already very serious, and he almost had his right lung removed.

This time he took a full break for more than half a year.

In other words, from the last two or three months of '04 to the start of the Brazilian league in April '06, he only played a few games for Porto II in Portugal's third division for a full year and a half.

He was 20 years old at the time, which happened to be the fastest age for the ball.

So, Yang Hao now just wants to know, what is the situation of Thiago Silva?

After the accumulation of the past few years, Yang Hao is now very confident in Atletico's ability to cultivate young players.

Ramos and Pepe, for example, are obviously more stable now than they were in their previous lives, and their tempers are not as great.

The main thing here is the environment of the team.

Ramos, for example, made his debut playing in Joaquín Caparos' Sevilla.

In the whole of Spain, who doesn't know that Caparos is notoriously iron-blooded and tough?

The same is true for Pepe.

The training and playing habits that players received when they were young still have a great impact on them.

The most typical are Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma.

To say that in Sporting Lisbon, Quaresma's talent is much higher than Ronaldo's, at that time, there were several people in European football who knew Ronaldo, and Quaresma was a world-recognized talent.

But the result?

One went to Barcelona, although it can't be said that Zhongyong was injured, but it was far from meeting expectations; One went to Manchester United, completely counterattacked, and became a peerless double pride.

Young players have potential and talent, but it's more important to see how they are trained and developed.

Yang Hao is confident that Ramos and Pepe, cultivated by Atletico Madrid, will never be the kind of big players in his previous life.

At least now Pepe's foul is under control.

But it is precisely because of this that his performance may not be very eye-catching for the time being, after all, it requires a process of transformation and adaptation.

Yang Hao told Pepe that this path was right, and with his physical fitness and technical skills, he would definitely be able to kick out.

……

Knock knock.

Yang Hao heard the voice, raised his head, and saw that it was Juanma Lillo, and immediately beckoned him to come in.

"Marchena's agent called me." Ellio sighed helplessly as soon as he entered the door.

Sometimes, it's really helpless.

"How?"

"Admit your mistake."

"yes, I see." Yang Hao replied.

Juanma Lillo hesitated, thought for a moment, and persuaded: "He is a local international after all. ”

Yang Hao stopped his movements, looked at the assistant sitting opposite, and said with a slight smile: "He apologized late." ”

Of course, Llio knew, and he also knew Yang Hao's character.

If Marchena is like Pepe, admits his mistakes early and changes his attitude, then even if he makes a mistake in this game, Yang Hao will still give him a chance.

But now, when it's so much trouble, it's useful to apologize?

To put it mildly, there is still a question mark about how much sincerity there is.

What happened to the home internationals?

Atletico Madrid have fewer homegrown internationals?

What's more, Marchena has been criticized by many players in the locker room, including Baraja, because of this incident, and Ramos even quarreled with him.

It's not because of his mistakes, it's that he disrespects Yang Hao!

At that time, Ramos said, "There is no boss, why are you still sitting on the cold bench in Benfica!" ”

As a result, Marchena was also annoyed and almost made a move.

"Actually, some of our players are really getting angry." Yang Hao wanted to suppress Marchena this time, not entirely because of his bad performance before, but he also considered killing chickens and monkeys to make an example.

Unexpectedly, the knife was raised, just to scare it, but in the end, it was forced to be cut down by this chicken.

Juanma Lillo knew Yang Hao's mind best, and he told Yang Hao about the situation in the team.

The team's results are good, the players are getting more and more famous, and the names are getting bigger and bigger, and even he, the assistant coach, sometimes can't be moved, so he has to keep moving out of Yang Hao to come to the town.

This is actually an inevitability.

In any team, there will always be a few thorns.

"Let's let him go for a while, and then we will rotate the three central defenders and give Ramos and Pepe more playing time to help them grow as soon as possible."

Juanma Lillo nodded in agreement, "Pepe has had a good attitude and trained very hard lately. ”

"The atmosphere of the team can't be messed up, especially in the dressing room, whoever breaks the atmosphere in the locker room will leave!" Yang Hao's attitude was very resolute.

Whether the performance is good or not, it's a player's problem, if it breaks the atmosphere in the dressing room, it's the team's problem.

This opening must not be opened!

"By the way, are Thiago's medical results out?" Yang Hao asked casually.

"Not yet, I have arranged for the team doctor and the laboratory to do a physical examination for him, it stands to reason that he should come out, I will call and ask."

With that, Juanma Lillo stood up, turned and walked out to call Alberto Rocca.

The lab is now in charge of Rocca.

But within a few minutes, Lillo turned in again, looking a little panicked, "The report came out in the morning, but they were temporarily sent to the hospital for detailed further examination, and now the results of the examination are very clear, tuberculosis, asymptomatic, early." ”

Yang Hao stopped the movement in his hand, he was mentally prepared.

This disease is not terrible, but it is a little troublesome.

"What did the doctor say?"

"3-6 months."

After finishing speaking, Juanma Lillo walked over, looked outside the door again, and made sure that there was no one, so he sat down opposite Yang Hao and reminded, "We just invited him to come for a trial." ”

In other words, he is not a Atletico player at all.

"I know." Yang Hao nodded, and after thinking about it, "Tell the doctor that this is our players and hope that they will provide the best care, and all the medical expenses will be borne by us at Atletico Madrid." ”

After a pause, Yang Hao said again: "Inform Thiago Silva's agent and family, oh, by the way, I heard that he also has a girlfriend, and if they want to come over, we will pay for it." ”

Juanma Lillo slapped his forehead with a look of "I knew it was going to be like this".

From when Yang Hao paid out of his own pocket for Messi, he already knew Yang Hao's character and personality.

Finally, Yang Hao took out his mobile phone and made a call to Little Hill on Calderon's side.

After Messi's experience last time, now Xiao Hill and others are confident in Yang Hao.

Yang Hao said that Thiago Silva has the potential to become the world's top central defender, so they don't say a word, they can treat how they want, and this money is a drop in the bucket for Atletico Madrid now.

Agency?

Then you must sign it, otherwise this disease will be cured in vain?

Of course, Yang Hao will not let Atletico suffer in vain, he called Andrew Barrasco again and told him about it, so that he can also be mentally prepared.

This disease cannot be cured in vain, nor can it be cured secretly.

In the words Yang Hao told Andrew Barrasco, "This is a great opportunity to shape the image of our club, and we want to tell all the fans and players around the world that we are a club with warmth!" ”

Andrew Barrasco immediately thought of the plan, immediately made a decision, and immediately implemented it.

After Yang Hao put down the phone, Juanma Lillo, who was sitting opposite him, was dumbfounded.

How else can this be done?

He now completely understands why Yang Hao is the boss and he is just a wage earner.

There's a lot of difference in ranks!

"What now?" Juanma Lillo was completely out of ideas.

Yang Hao Shi Shiran stood up and tidied up his clothes, "Let's go, let's go to the hospital."

……

After learning that he had been diagnosed with tuberculosis, Thiago Silva was in a mess.

When he was in Brazil, he already had very subtle symptoms, and he also saw the team doctor at Juventud at that time, and the team doctor told him that it was a common cold and that he was fine.

He didn't care about it himself.

Unexpectedly, there was a deviation in the physical examination in the Atletico Madrid team, and when I went to the hospital for another examination, the problem came out.

It turned out to be tuberculosis.

Now what?

Thiago Silva has only just received some wages and doesn't have much money at all.

The doctor said that to be treated here, it will take at least 3 months of treatment, which will cost a lot, plus food and housing, and maybe someone will have to take care of it......

Thiago Silva sat in a hospital bed, on the verge of collapse and almost burst into tears.

He came to Atletico Madrid from Brazil with a dream.

He hopes to have the opportunity to play for a big club like Atletico Madrid, and he is very close to that dream.

I didn't expect it......

With him in his current situation, how could Atletico still sign him?

Maybe even be kicked out tomorrow.

This kind of thing happens almost every day in Brazil, and Thiago Silva doesn't know how much he's heard or seen.

But even if he goes back to Brazil, how can he continue to play football in his situation?

In just one day, he has changed from a young man full of longing to a lost lamb whose future is ruined, and even the strongest person will collapse.

What's more, at this moment, he was alone, and there was not even a single relative around, and he felt unprecedented fear.

He sat on the hospital bed at a loss, his head drooping, trying not to squeeze out the fragile tears.

At this time, Yang Hao came to the hospital and knocked on his door.

This is the first time Thiago Silva has seen Yang Hao up close.

He had seen it in newspapers, magazines, and TV before, and this was the first time he had been so close.

"Don't worry, you can rest assured that you can be treated here, I have already told the club, all the expenses will be borne by us, and you don't have to pay a penny yourself."

Thiago Silva raised his head in disbelief and looked at Yang Hao, as if to say: I am not your Atletico player.

Yang Hao ignored him and continued.

"I just talked to the doctor about your condition, and it's not a big problem at the moment, it's just that you can't participate in intense exercise, and you have to cure this disease first, so just now I asked them to find a house for you, and also notify your parents and girlfriend."

"You can call them, if they are coming, all the travel expenses will be borne by us, and let them take care of you here, I believe it will also be good for your condition."

"In addition, someone from the club will come to talk to you in the afternoon, and we are willing to sign a long-term contract with you, about five years, if you think it is long, three years is fine, and the salary is according to the standard of our current second-team players."

"I have probably calculated, it should be enough for you and your family to treat and live here, so you can recuperate here with peace of mind, and I also specially asked them to rent those houses with gardens, so that you can play football at home and not have to be bored in the house every day."

"When you are cured, go back to the first team to report to me." Yang Hao smiled and encouraged.

Thiago Silva's mood has fluctuated too much.

From full of hope and longing, to suddenly shattered dreams, to now suddenly bright again, he really didn't expect that he would one day usher in such a dramatic experience.

Especially looking at Yang Hao in front of him, he really didn't know what to say.

Signing for Atletico?

Is this a blessing in disguise?

From beginning to end, Thiago Silva was so moved that he couldn't say a word, just kept saying thank you.

"By the way, I'm afraid you can't hide this situation, there may be media reporters coming to report these days, if you don't want to say anything, you don't have to say anything, or just tell the truth, anyway, you can heal with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me."

Thiago Silva nodded heavily.

With Atletico Madrid's current influence and status, let alone this kind of thing, even if a certain player's family quarrels, it is estimated that it can be reported by the media.

"Come on, don't be discouraged, it's okay!" Yang Hao encouraged.

Thiago Silva nodded heavily and thanked him repeatedly.

……

Sure enough.

Atletico Madrid had a trial player suffering from tuberculosis, which was quickly picked up by the media, and they then chased him to the hospital to find out more about the player's condition.

Thiago Silva has never seen such a battle in his life, when was he chased by so many media reporters?

Finally, it was Atletico Madrid's head of press and public relations, Andrew Barrasco, who arrived in time to deal with the journalists and announce the official decision of the Atletico club.

'Thiago was only invited by us to come for a tryout, but he came to Atletico and is part of us and we have a responsibility to help him when he is in trouble.

Andrew Barrasco said that manager Yang Hao appreciated Thiago Silva's performance in Brazil, which was the reason why he was invited to come to Atletico Madrid for a trial, and because of this, Atletico Madrid were willing to give him a formal professional contract.

No more tryouts!

In addition, Atletico also covered all the expenses of Thiago Silva's treatment, as well as renting a house for him, as well as all the travel expenses of his family, etc.

Atletico Madrid's move, after being reported by the Spanish media, quickly attracted attention from all walks of life.

The first to applaud was, of course, Atletico fans.

Although they still don't know what the strength of this Thiago Silva is, it is certainly not bad to be valued by Yang Hao.

The most important thing is that the responsibility and responsibility of the club at this time, as well as the attitude towards this young player, make all Atletico Madrid fans feel that what they like is a team full of humanity and warmth.

The news spread quickly.

More and more media and fans around the world are reporting on Atletico's actions and praising Atletico's actions.

Who Thiago Silva is, almost no one knows except for fans in Brazil.

But Atletico can take on these for such an unknown player who only comes to the team for a trial, which is enough to show Atletico's bearing and image.

Especially after learning of Atletico Madrid's actions, the Brazilian Football Federation immediately called to care about this matter and expressed appreciation for Atletico Madrid's behavior; FIFA and UEFA have also called to express their concern and affirmed Atletico's move.

After this incident, the positive image and brand values of Atletico Madrid Club were also established in front of all the media and fans around the world for the first time.

In just one week, the news quickly spread around the world.

And the happiest is Carlos Leao, who excitedly called Yang Hao to tell Yang Hao that many cooperation and sponsorship that had not been talked about before have now made breakthroughs, and even some brands that did not consider cooperating with Atletico Madrid in the past are now reconsidering.

Atletico Madrid's publicity and marketing this time can be called the most beautiful battle fought since the establishment of the club.

In the past few years since the reform of the club, the internal strength accumulated by hard work has completely exploded this time.

Carlos Leao confidently told Yang Hao that this season's commercial income must exceed 100 million, and it is difficult for him to say how much it can be broken for the time being, and this basically means that Atletico Madrid's revenue will also enter the ranks of first-line giants.

Carlos Leo is ambitious and wants to make a big wave.

Yang Hao is convinced that the current Atletico Madrid has completely bid farewell to the past, and the next step is to further consolidate its brand image.

"However, the only trouble is that in the future, the player called Thiago Silva will have to stay at the club for at least a few years." Carlos Leo was a little worried.

By now, everyone felt that Thiago Silva was just a budding rookie.

Yang Hao doesn't poke it either, whether it's to Little Hill, or to Cerezo, or to the head of the department, he is a sentence.

"It's worth it!"

He certainly can't tell them that Thiago Silva is the best centre-back in the world in the future, or even the best.

This can only wait for them to see Thiago Silva's achievements later, and then look back and think about the story that happened today, it will definitely make Yang Hao more legendary!

……

After two weeks of international football, after the players returned to the squad one after another, players such as Baraja and Fernando Torres visited Thiago Silva in hospital on behalf of the club.

After Kaka, Lucio and other Brazilian players returned to the team, they also came to visit the Brazilian compatriots, and they all said that they could ask them for help at any time, and also introduced Thiago Silva to a lot about Atletico's side.

Yang Hao asked the video analysts of the coaching staff to collect video highlights of the defensive skills of many famous European central defenders, including Nesta, Cannavaro, Stam and Thuram and other defensive masters, all of whom have excellent defensive skills and awareness.

Rushing to the idea of even the rain and dew, Yang Hao not only sent a set to Thiago Silva for him to study and figure it out by himself, but also sent a set to Ramos and Pepe to study and study as well.

Yang Hao also paid out of his own pocket to send a set of simple training equipment to Thiago Silva's rented house, which was affirmed by the doctors in the hospital, so that he could adhere to some simple training every day during the period of home recuperation.

In addition, the Atletico Madrid coaching staff will also give him some training suggestions and arrange some targeted training programs.

All of this made Thiago Silva fully feel the importance of Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid to him, and also made him say very emotionally when he was interviewed by Brazilian domestic TV: "I don't want to do anything now, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to recuperate in Madrid, and after I recover, I want to play for Atletico Madrid!" ”

Thiago Silva's parents, girlfriend and agent have also come to Madrid, and they are all full of praise for Atletico.

Especially brokers.

In an interview with Brazilian domestic media, he said, "I have a lot of players who play in Europe, but Atletico Madrid is the team I have ever seen, the best and warmest team for players, and he will be the team that all professional players dream of and want to join!" ”

When other clubs treat players as commodities on the shelf, buy them and use them, and throw them away when they use them, Atletico's behavior is definitely a huge plus, which has greatly improved the team's brand value.

What Yang Hao didn't expect was that in Atletico Madrid's locker room, it also became more cohesive because of this incident.

In the words that captain Baraja told Yang Hao in private: "It's very simple, because we all know that the club will always stand behind us and be our most solid backing." ”

"In many clubs, it's just an empty word, a false word, but this incident makes us believe that in our team, this is a phrase that will be taken seriously."

What's more, because Yang Hao treated Adriano's father and Messi before, no one doubted the authenticity of Atletico's matter.

The media and fans all over the world believe that this is what Atletico will do.

This is more important than anything else!

……

On the evening of October 16, the Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

In the 7th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Racing Santander.

Before the game, Atletico Madrid fans put up signs in the stands to encourage Thiago Silva, which was also a kind of affirmation and support for the club's actions.

Since Lucio played two full games in the Brazilian national team, Yang Hao once again discharged the center-back combination of Ramos and Pepe this time, which also became a link that everyone was worried about.

Racing Santander created a dangerous situation in front of goal as soon as the game began, but Guerrero's goalmouth grab was saved by Cech like a divine help.

After the Czech doorman got up from the ground, he kept reassuring Ramos and Pepe.

Although Cech is not very old, he has more experience in the first team than Ramos and Pepe.

Atletico soon launched a wave of attacks.

Attacking is the best defense, and the best way to defuse the pressure is to break through the opponent's goal.

Andres Iniesta sent a through ball down the middle, and after Torres stopped the ball past the centre-back, he slotted a kick through the crotch on the right side of the box and pierced the onrushing goalkeeper Awaat.

1 to 0!

Subsequently, Atletico were firmly in control of the situation on the field.

It wasn't until the 42nd minute of the first half that Baraja sent a through ball from the right side of the box on the edge of the box.

Villa cut diagonally into the right side of the penalty area at high speed, received the ball and pushed it forward, and the ball broke through the goal of Racing Santander again.

2 to 0!

Just three minutes after the restart in the second half, Alves dribbled away from a defender on the right and crossed, and Torres, already rushing over his head, turned and kicked the ball to Baraja, who had cut in from the back.

The Atletico captain bent his bow on the right side of the penalty spot and fired a shot to open the opposition goal again.

3 to 0!

Then, the game went into full swing for Atletico Madrid.

Everyone can feel the morale of Atletico right now.

The weakness of the back line is certainly worrying, but the strong attacking firepower in the front field has allowed Atletico to fully unleash it.

In the 64th minute, it was Ramos and Pepe's mistakes that gave the opposing striker a chance to make a single move.

But at the critical moment, Alves returned to defense in time and poked the ball out of the bottom line.

And in the 74th minute, Ribery dribbled the ball on the left side and shook continuously, shook off the defender to cut inside, shook off the angle, and hit the goal with his feet, 4-0!

Just three minutes later, Andres Iniesta suddenly fired a long-range shot from around 20 yards in front of goal.

The shot hit the body of the opposition centre-back Moraton and bounced back into the goal of Racing Santander.

5 to 0!

Throughout the game, Atletico showed a very high standard, mainly in midfield.

Racing Santander only had 4 shots on goal in the whole game, and they didn't even have as many goals as Atletico Madrid.

However, Barcelona also beat Espanyol 1-0 away with Baptista's goal in this game.

Therefore, after the 7th round of the game, the two teams are still neck and neck.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, drew 1-1 away at Real Betis and fell further down the rankings to 11th place.
