"A quick counter-attack from Atletico."

"Split the ball to the left and give it to Ribery."

'Nice stop-and-turn and Ribery break through with the ball.'

"Mohamed Sissoko came to defend and crossed diagonally with his right foot to find Iniesta."

Iniesta knocked back behind Sissoko.

"Beautiful!"

"Atletico made a one-two in a tight area on the left wing!"

"Ribery dribbles to face Cullo Torres ......"

"Crotch !!"

"God, Ribery bursts through and crosses to the middle!"

"Torres heads in goal!"

"The ball is in!!"

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"1 to 1!"

"Atletico equalised!"

"In the 78th minute, Atletico successfully equalized thanks to Torres' goal!"

"It was a very good combination, Ribery and Andres Iniesta on the left side of Atletico Madrid completed a beautiful one-two under the dense defense on the left, and completely played Valencia's defenders."

"There were four defenders, but they couldn't stop the breakthrough of two of Atletico's attackers."

"Atletico played very well on both wings after the substitutions, just Robben on the right and now Ribery and Andres Iniesta on the left."

'Valencia paid the price of four yellow cards in a short period of time.

'Now Navarro, Albelda, Angulo and Di Vaio are all saddled with yellow cards.

'Claudio Ranieri defended really tightly, but this little technical combination of the Atletico players, especially on the side of Ribery and Iniesta, is not very tall and has excellent technique at the feet.

"This kind of short player with skill and speed, once he plays together, it really gives Valencia's group of defensive players a lot of headaches."

"1 to 1!"

"The two sides are back on the same page."

"But we saw that after Atletico's goal, Torres, who was wearing the captain's armband, scooped up the football from inside the goal and called on his teammates to stop celebrating and go back to kick-off."

"Atletico look very morale-boosting."

……

After the equaliser, Atletico kept looking for opportunities.

Especially the players in Atletico Madrid's frontcourt, they rush as soon as they get the ball and grab it when they lose it.

Valencia adopted a 442 midfield position today, which allowed the Bats to stick with Atletico for a long time.

But in the closing stage, Atletico Madrid's continuous impact, especially the consumption of the Bat Army that lasted throughout the game, made Ranieri feel a headache.

But it's still a little bit close.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines and saw that Valencia had almost retreated to his own half, almost putting on a posture of being on guard.

Ranieri, in particular, has replaced Mista in front of him to further strengthen the defense in the midfield.

Obviously, he is now showing his attitude to defend to the end.

Yang Hao thought about it and turned around.

The assistants in the dugout thought he was going to pass, and Parales began to look for water.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hao walked straight to the away team's coach's seat and hooked his finger towards Messi who was sitting on the bench.

Everyone was amazed.

"Boss."

"The opponent's defensive moves are quite ruthless, do you dare to play?"

Messi glanced at the field, shook his head, and his long hair swayed from side to side, "If you let me go, I will dare to go." ”

"Actually, I don't want you to be on this time, it's a bit stressful."

Messi nodded, Yang Hao has always been protecting him, he knows this, and he is very grateful.

"But I need you now."

Messi was very happy with these words, happy from the bottom of his heart, so he smiled.

"You say, kick how you want, I'll kick it." The Argentines say it lightly, but it carries a lot of weight.

'Carboni, their left wing-back, was swept away by Arjen Robben all over the pitch, he's not fit enough, but he's very experienced, they're three midfielders now, defenders are everywhere.

Messi couldn't stop nodding, and he sat on the sidelines and saw it.

'I need to go up alone, just like Andres Iniesta and Franck Ribery on the left, using the skill of my feet and finding a way to get the ball out of the opposition's dense defence, whether it's playing myself or passing it to my team-mates.

"Okay." Messi replied without hesitation.

Yang Hao stretched out his hand and scratched at Messi's long hair.

He wondered why the Argentine players liked to have such long hair so much.

The same goes for Pochettino.

Don't they feel that it is troublesome for their hair to grow long?

"Okay, go ahead, counting stoppage time, it's only about 10 minutes, you can let go of the kick, don't worry."

Messi nodded in agreement.

But he didn't need to warm up anymore and walked straight to the sidelines.

Soon, he replaced Robben.

After the Dutchman high-fived Messi, he came over and high-fived Yang Hao.

"You've done well, Arjan." Yang Hao patted Robben's back and motioned for him to rest.

……

"Atletico made a substitution, the number 30 youngster Messi, replaced Robben."

"Messi has been coming off the bench for Atletico since last season and has been doing well."

'He's a bit like Franck Ribery on the left, both of whom are very good with the ball.

"Yang Hao arranged for him to play at this time, obviously hoping to use his dribbling ability to open up the offensive situation in the front court."

Messi's first touch of the ball came from Xavi Alonso's diagonal pass.

After blocking Carboni with his body on the right flank, he stepped out to unload the ball.

This kick offloading stopped very beautifully, and did not let the ball out of his control at all, like an obedient child, obediently landing between Messi's legs.

Carboni is very old and has a huge physical drain, but he is very experienced, so he did not go to Messi to grab the ball, but waited for Messi to stop the ball.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to stop steadily after receiving this kind of transfer ball that is more than 20 meters.

Once the football was out of control, Carboni went up to clear the ball as soon as possible, and it didn't take much effort at all.

But Messi's stop made Carboni stunned.

"Very wonderful stop!"

After Messi stopped the ball, Carboni immediately pasted it, making it impossible for the Argentine to turn around and forced to take a step back.

At this step, Albelda had already run over from the side to attack, and the two were just going to block Messi on the right side.

But Messi reacted quickly, short stature, low center of gravity, fast frequency of action, grabbed before Albelda, made a kick, and after avoiding Albelda, he turned around and took a sideways step.

Just when Messi was about to rub shoulders with Albelda, Valencia's back quickly got close.

But Albelda found out he was wrong.

Messi is just like a loach, just wipe it, immediately speed up, the ball is like sticking to his feet, and it doesn't even need to be adjusted, turn around when you say it, speed up when you say it.

Unless he is willing to see Messi break through with the ball and face the defence directly, Albelda has only one option.

Foul!

The referee's crisp whistle sounded.

Messi lost his balance and lay on the grass.

The referee showed Albelda a yellow card.

Boos from Valencia fans rang out at the scene.

It was already the fifth yellow card in a short period of time in the second half.

The key question is not whether the referee is biased or not, but whether it really can't be stopped!

It's like just now, if Albelda doesn't foul and Messi bursts through, it's over.

Valencia's midfielder knew very well that his action was a yellow card, so he didn't argue, turned and walked over, pulled up Messi who fell to the ground, said sorry, and then retreated.

This was Messi's first possession of the ball since coming off the bench.

……

In the second half, Atletico attacked from left to right, and Messi's side was right on the away team's coach's bench.

Yang Hao walked to the sidelines, applauded vigorously, and applauded Messi.

"That's it, take your time, don't rush."

He didn't give Messi too many instructions, because he felt that by this time, the instructions were no longer important.

The key is to be able to take the ball out and push it forward.

Kaka's biggest role is that at the moment when he switches from defense to attack, his breakthrough with the ball is very threatening.

can really turn into positional battles, especially in the face of a tight defense like Valencia, Kaka's dribbling breakthrough is not a big threat.

Robben was pretty much the same.

At this time, it is Ribery, Iniesta and Messi who are more threatening to take the ball and advance.

But unfortunately, this time the set-piece was not played well, and he still failed to score.

However, Messi soon had a second chance to get the ball.

This time it wasn't a pass from a team-mate, but he was directly near the halfway line, stealing the ball at the feet of Carboni and instigating a counter-attack with the ball himself.

After Messi snatched the ball, he first split the ball by one, went around behind Carboni, caught up with the football, advanced all the way along the right touchline, and avoided Albelda, who came over to intercept.

After the latter had a yellow card, he didn't dare to move too much, and was directly avoided by Messi's left and right pulls.

When Messi burst into the right corner of the penalty area with the ball, Carboni had already chased after him, and central defender Manuel Pellegrino also rushed out.

Seeing that the two defenders were about to close in, Messi suddenly made a sudden stop and cut in with his left foot from between the two players.

The whole set of movements can be described as smooth, in one go, and the timing and rhythm are just right.

Even the Valencia fans let out a wave of exclamation.

After Messi cut inside, he curled a left-footed ball into the penalty area to find Torres.

As a result, Navarro cleared the ball with a header and headed it out.

After seeing that Albelda often leaned towards Messi's side, Kaka also began to press forward and helped Messi pull Albelda.

In the 86th minute, it was Kaka who received Iniesta's cross on the right side of the front, picked up the ball, turned around and blocked Albelda with his body, and pushed the ball to the right side.

Messi rushed forward, got rid of Carboni, made a sharp stop on the right side of the penalty area, took the ball with his left foot to the penalty area, and avoided Pellegrino, and met Albelda in the right corner of the penalty area.

As a result, Torres obviously didn't expect that Messi would suddenly dribble the ball out, and the whole person was still standing near the penalty spot in a daze.

When Torres saw Messi's pass, he waved his hand apologetically.

"This kid is getting more and more amazing!"

Juanma Lillo exclaimed.

If you want to talk about Torres, he looks like Sven, in fact, his style of play is very similar to Adriano, very impactful, and he belongs to the kind of very strong center, and even on him, he can't feel much of the kind of literary atmosphere of delicate appearance.

As a youth descendant of Atletico Madrid, Torres's technical skills are still quite good.

But now it's still too young to run enough thieves.

As for Messi......

Yang Hao smiled, where is this?

Now, Messi's physical confrontation is not particularly good, because it requires a gradual process.

Even if you don't consider the problem of Messi's use of growth hormone in the past, even if he is a normal person who has just turned 17 years old, it is not a good thing to directly strengthen his body.

When he turns 18, he will gradually use two or three years to strengthen his physical confrontation, and then his performance will make everyone stumble.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao walked quickly to the sidelines.

"Kaka!"

Yang Hao shouted Kaka and motioned for him to go further and insert more.

"Ferdy." Yang Hao affectionately shouted Torres's nickname and motioned for him to move a little to the left and pull away from the defense.

His name is Fernando, and his nickname is Ferdy.

"There's still time, don't rush, take your time!"

……

Time is ticking by.

Atletico played another link up the left, Franck Ribery picked up Andres Iniesta's clever pass and cut a path through two defenders to cross the ball to goal, which was cleared by Navarro and kicked straight out of the right flank.

Gave Atletico a throw-in in front.

McCone stepped forward, ran to the sidelines, picked up the ball with his feet, wiped it on the jersey in front of him, and raised his hands high above his head.

He first faced straight ahead, realizing that Kaka had just finished a sprint and needed to catch his breath.

Xavi Alonso ran over to catch the ball, but Di Vaio was close to him.

"Hey, McConn, here!"

Messi was on the edge of Valencia's penalty area on the right side, and he had already locked his position with his body, pinned Carboni behind him, and raised his hand towards McCone for the ball.

McCone, of course, threw the ball over without thinking.

When Messi stopped the ball on his chest, Albelda had already rushed over, but the Argentine picked up the ball with his left foot and directly picked the ball to the middle, shook off Albelda and Carboni, and slid between the two like loaches.

But at this time, Mohamed Sissoko had also returned to the defense, Messi hurriedly intercepted the ball again, skillfully dribbled with his left foot and turned, and was able to avoid Albelda, who was chasing behind him.

From stopping the ball on the chest to picking the ball past people, to the following emergency stop and turn, the series of movements has a very unique sense of rhythm.

But the most outrageous thing is that Messi gives people the feeling as if he knows everything in advance.

Just as he stopped facing Sissoko, but the next step was to dribble with his left foot and turn around, as if he had eyes behind him and knew that Albelda was behind him.

This was unbelievable to all.

Even the Valencia fans at the scene exclaimed in amazement, feeling incredible.

After dribbling past Albelda, Messi kicked the ball with his right foot to McConn, who had already advanced to the right side of the penalty area.

After passing the ball, he saw both Carboni and Albelda pressing towards McConn at the same time.

It was the reaction of the defenders in the split second, as they tried to block McCone on the wing and avoid his cross.

But in this way, it also exposed a passage from Messi's side, to the right corner of the penalty area, to the right corner of the small penalty area.

"McConn!"

Messi shouted and quickly ran forward, right between Albelda and Carboni.

McConn's pass came just right, and Messi didn't even need to connect, he dribbled the ball with his right foot, and rushed into the right side of the penalty area without losing speed.

Pellegrino rushed out for the first time, but Messi made a sharp stop, slid the ball with his right foot to the bottom line, and instantly avoided Pellegrino again.

The latter pounced directly, and the center of gravity of his body could not be adjusted.

At this time, only Mohamed Sissoko chased all the way to the bottom line.

But Messi was hard near the bottom line, after a sudden stop, he continued to feint, poked the ball from Sissoko's crotch, rushed around the bottom line, and grabbed the goalkeeper before the goalkeeper, near the right sideline of the small penalty area, and returned the ball with his left foot.

At this time, Kaka felt the right corner of the small penalty area, and he didn't even need to do anything, just send the ball that Messi passed back to the unguarded Valencia's goal.

It's that simple!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

With the long sound of the goal, the entire Mestania stadium was filled with the exclamations of all the Bat Legion fans.

Even a lot of Bats fans couldn't help but get up from their seats and applaud Messi's wonderful performance.

Everyone couldn't believe that Valencia had defended to such an extent that he could still get the ball out!

What's even more outrageous is that he not only brought it out, but also assisted his teammates to score!

It's simply stunning!

"I really can't put into words how I feel at this moment."

"But I can give you a statistic."

"From the moment Messi stopped the ball on his chest just now, to Kaka's goal, it only took a total of 10 seconds."

"In those 10 seconds, apart from the pass to McCain, the football never left Messi's feet."

"He almost single-handedly carried the ball and turned the right side of Valencia's entire defence upside down."

'I don't know how to describe the feeling yet, but I want to say that this young player from Atletico Madrid is really, really amazing and I've been following him for a long time.

"But tonight, he still shocked me!"

"He's a genius, a genius in the truest sense of the word!"

Yang Hao saw that after Kaka scored the goal, he rushed over excitedly, hugged Messi, and the two hugged their shoulders and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.

Subsequently, Torres, Andres Iniesta and Ribery and others also chased after each other, and everyone hugged on the sidelines.

It made everyone feel the good vibes from the Atletico dressing room.

Yang Hao also applauded his players vigorously on the sidelines.

He suddenly realized that he was still underestimating Messi's growth rate.

It's a very special feeling.

It's like the whole process of the goal just now, if he was in the code words in his previous life, it is estimated that it will take more than ten minutes, or even longer, when the reader is watching, he often has to watch it for a minute or two, and if he carefully sketches the picture in his mind, it will definitely take longer.

But Messi, he only took 10 seconds!

It was a truly magical feeling!

Even, even as the head coach of the team, Yang Hao has an urge to cheer for Messi loudly.

He really wants to tell Messi: Don't be afraid, with me, I will definitely do my best to help you achieve all your wishes!

You were in my previous life, and all those regrets, I will settle them for you!

I'm going to push you to the altar with my own hands!

And the most magical scene for Yang Hao happened after the game.

When the referee blew the whistle, the Atletico Madrid players walked off the pitch one after another, high-fived and hugged Yang Hao on the sidelines.

When it was Messi's turn, there was a round of applause.

Yang Hao laughed and raised Messi's hand, and the applause at the scene was even more enthusiastic.

Fans have a position, but they will cross their stance for many talents, for the performance of many players, and send their heartfelt appreciation.

That's the charm of football!

……

"I can't describe how I felt at this moment and how I felt at the time."

"I know, some people may think that it was a gamble for me to replace Messi at the last minute."

"But, I really think he can do it."

"Of course, if the game ends up being a draw, I think it's acceptable, and I think it's a chance to practice."

In an interview with the media after the game, Yang Hao revealed his appreciation and affirmation of Messi's performance in this game.

He is reluctant to say whether Messi is a genius or not, because the evaluation and applause given outside are enough to say everything.

"I want to say he's only 17 years old, it's just beginning, and I have no doubt what he's going to achieve, but I can't say anything right now, or you'll be a different story."

"I still say that, I hope everyone can pay more attention to the game itself and give the players more room to grow."

Yang Hao is also moderate on the topic of Messi.

The 2-1 reversal of Valencia is already Atletico's second consecutive round of reversal.

Yang Hao's explanation for this is that there is a little problem with the team's defense.

'Everybody can see that we've been a little bit inconsistent defensively lately, but we've all been working on it, we've all had the team knowing what's going on and everybody is accepting what we're doing.

"Reinforcements during the winter break?"

"No, no, no, it's not on my radar."

'I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that we are not going to bring in any players during the winter break, we have some very good centre-backs at the moment, they just need a little bit of time, and I and Atletico and our team are willing to give them time.

"Don't hesitate to lose?"

"Yes!" Yang Hao replied in the affirmative.

He has already thought this through the question, even if he does not hesitate to lose, he also wants Ramos, Pepe and Thiago Silva to train their ranks.

Because the introduction of high-level central defenders now will seriously squeeze their playing time, Yang Hao does not plan to do so.

As for the introduction of a good ......

Why bother?

Their strength is not bad now.

What is the strength of Thiago Silva, Yang Hao is still difficult to say, but the strength of Pepe and Ramos can be qualified for the main position in any team in La Liga.

In addition to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

This is mainly due to the fact that the margin for error of the three big teams is too low, and the style of play is biased towards attack.

However, the questions of media reporters made Yang Hao think of one thing.

After the press conference, Yang Hao specially left Ramos and Pepe in the dressing room, and he told the two young central defenders, "We will not bring in any more central defenders during the winter break, this season it is Lucio, the two of you, and Thiago Silva." ”

"I believe in you, just the four of you this season, I won't buy any more people, and even next summer, I don't plan to buy people, so you don't need to worry about your position and performance, I have absolute trust in you."

"You only need to do one thing now, improve your strength as soon as possible, and that's enough!"

Yang Hao's statement can be regarded as a reassurance for Ramos and Pepe.

Marchena has been sent to the cold, and that's something everyone in the Atletico squad knows.

Even, in a way, he is difficult to establish himself in the dressing room of Atletico.

Because he did a lot of wrong things.

Now, Lucio's position is ironclad, with Ramos and Pepe on the spot.

No one thinks Thiago Silva has much quality, after all, he really doesn't have much reputation, and everyone thinks that this is a reflection of the club's humanity.

Therefore, Ramos and Pepe both assured Yang Hao that they would do their best.

Yang Hao felt that perhaps he should consider giving them a contract extension to further determine their future and make them more at ease.

And Ribery, this kid is still receiving a low salary, and it is indeed time to rise.

……

After reversing Valencia 2-1, Atletico Madrid opened up a gap with Barcelona with a two-point advantage and continued to lead La Liga.

The two substitutes will be key to Atletico's victory.

One is Andres Iniesta and the other is Messi.

Both players were the focus of media attention after the game.

As a local player, Iniesta has attracted the attention of the media because of his good performance after transferring from Barcelona to Atletico Madrid, especially the Catalan media, and accused former Barcelona president Gaspar of being incompetent and giving such a good talented midfielder to Atletico Madrid.

And as this season, Andres Iniesta has been getting better and better, and he has established himself in the first team at Atletico Madrid.

After Deco's departure, Andres Iniesta was the player in Atletico's midfield who could provide consistent possession.

In this game, after he came on the bench, this kind of cross and cut with Ribery on the left side was eye-catching.

In Marca's words: "Two Atletico players sparked a spark on the left. ”

Compared to Iniesta, Messi's experience is even more legendary.

Despite being only 17 years old, he has already made a number of appearances in the first team.

As the first batch of stars that emerged after Atletico Madrid's youth training reform, Ramos has been highly used in the first team, and Messi, David Silva and Modric have all begun to emerge in the first team, which makes the Spanish media lament Atletico's youth strength.

Especially after playing Valencia, almost all the Spanish media were exclaiming Messi's performance, and even some newspapers were no longer satisfied with geniuses, but described him as Maradona II.

There is also Yang Hao's statement about not introducing reinforcements during the winter break after the game, which has aroused heated discussions in the media.

Some people think that Yang Hao is giving Marchena a chance, but others say that Yang Hao wants to vigorously cultivate the two young central defenders Ramos and Pepe, and even sacrifice some achievements.

But Yang Hao didn't come forward to say anything from beginning to end.

……

After playing Valencia, Atletico Madrid ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

With all three wins in the first three rounds, Atletico Madrid want to beat Werder Bremen away and win.

Just two minutes into the game, Kaka scored for Atletico to take the lead.

After that, for a long time, both sides went back and forth.

Atletico actually played quite relaxed.

But in the 55th minute, Miku sent a wonderful pass, and when Klose was about to get past Ramos, the Spanish central defender drew a foul and gave the opponent a penalty, and got a yellow card at the same time.

It was Ramos' second yellow card, and he was sent off with a straight red card.

Klose calmly converted the penalty to equalise.

With one man missing, Atletico were forced to adopt more defensive tactics and ultimately held on for a draw.

1 to 1, the two sides shook hands.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the Red Wolves were barred from watching the game, but eventually drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain.

As a result, after 4 rounds of group stage play, Atletico Madrid won 3 and drew 1, got 10 points, and ranked first in the group.

Werder Bremen have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 7 points and are second in the group.

Paris Saint-Germain have 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 4 points and are in third place.

Roma have only managed one draw and are bottom of the table.

Judging from the current results, Atletico Madrid's promotion is basically a sure thing, the difference is whether they can win the group or not.

In this regard, Yang Hao is extremely confident, saying that the team will definitely qualify first in the group.

Regarding Ramos's red card, Yang Hao said that he would not pursue it.

It's not that he treats him differently, it's because both of Ramos' yellow cards were picked up while defending.

It can be said that he is not strong enough to freeze Klose, but he can't be blamed for being sent off with a yellow card because he is not strong enough, and he is sent off with a red card, right?

But Yang Hao also told Ramos that he needs to learn more from his lessons.

Yang Hao knocked Ramos on this side, and on the other side, after playing Werder Bremen, Atletico Madrid general manager Hill Jr. came forward and said in front of the media that the team was starting a new round of contract renewal.

Among them, including Ramos, Pepe, Ribery, Iniesta and other outstanding young players, will usher in a round of contract extensions.

In addition, other players in the Atletico Madrid team will also renew their contracts.

The likes of Fernando Torres, Drogba, Villa, Robben, Kaka, Baraja and Lucio will all see further pay increases.

Fernando Torres, Kaka, Baraja, Xavi Alonso and Lucio will all be paid the same salary as Deco's previous salary, making it the team's top salary.

Atletico Madrid's salary space is still quite generous now, but everything has to be done step by step.

Kaka is only 22 years old, Torres is only 20 years old, and if their salaries are increased all of a sudden, what will happen next?

With the current situation, there will be at least two or three salary increases before they are 30 years old, and Atletico's salary will be unbearable at that time, so it is impossible to give it all at once now, leaving no room at all.

As for Messi, in fact, he is not a professional contract yet, and it doesn't matter if it goes up or not.

After Atletico Madrid announced a salary increase for the player, Marchena's agent revealed that a number of La Liga teams, including Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna, were interested in his player.

'We are looking for the possibility of leaving Atletico because Carlos needs more chances to play.

This is regarded as a forced palace for Yang Hao.

Either he will resolve the conflict and give him time to play, or he will leave during the winter break.

Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid have the same attitude towards this, cold treatment.

……

On the evening of November 7, in the 10th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Zaragoza.

Just 12 minutes into the game, Andres Iniesta drove the ball forward in the middle and sent a diagonal cross over the top.

After Villa's anti-offside position was successful, he burst into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, faced the attacking goalkeeper, and easily picked up the shot, opening the scoring for Atletico Madrid, 1-0!

Atletico Madrid, playing at home, continued to chase with victory.

In the 26th minute, Ribery sent the ball into the left side of the penalty area after connecting two defenders on the left side, and after Torres stopped the ball horizontally to get rid of the defenders, he suddenly got up and hit the goal again.

2 to 0!

Atletico were in complete control of the situation on the pitch and continued to create scoring chances, but none of them were very good.

Until the 52nd minute of the second half, it was Ribery who took the ball on the left side, shook off the defenders, picked up a pass to the penalty area, and Torres scored again with his left foot at the edge of the small penalty area, scoring twice and scoring a brace.

3 to 0!

After receiving Yang Hao's promise to renew his contract, French Scarface desperately wanted to use a more brilliant performance to fight for a higher salary package for his contract renewal.

He was indeed poor!

Yang Hao just knew Ribery's thoughts, so he used contract renewal to stimulate him.

In this game, he really broke out.

After taking a three-goal lead, Atletico Madrid was still not satisfied, and continued to launch attacks.

In the 67th minute, Ribery and Torres combined with a one-two on the left rib to send the ball behind the defense, Torres received the ball in the penalty area to form a single knife, and scored a hat trick again!

4 to 0!

The whole Calderón stadium is in a frenzy!

All the Atletico fans were cheering wildly for the team's onslaught.

Especially in the second half, Zaragoza's players began to be a little out of shape, and the game completely turned into a show for Atletico.

Both the media and the fans clearly feel that the fitness of Atletico Madrid's players is indeed better than that of other teams.

It's only been 2 minutes since the last goal, after Ribery won the ball near the halfway line, he suddenly started, shook off two defenders, broke through with the ball, advanced all the way to Zaragoza's big penalty area, shook off the attacking goalkeeper, and then pushed the empty goal, 5-0!

This goal completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene!

Even Yang Hao himself didn't expect that Ribery was really mad!

After that, Ribery sent a diagonal pass on the left side, and Evra, who had been planning in the ribs for a long time, burst into the left side of the penalty area and hit the goal with his feet, 6-0!

Atletico were actually creating chances, and even had an assist for Villa on one occasion, but narrowly missed the scoring.

McCone also had a sudden long-range shot that hit the side-netting.

In the end, Atletico beat Zaragoza 6-0 at home.

……

After the game, Marca was full of praise for Yang Hao's team.

A 6-0 victory, described as a miracle!

Ribery also made an instant hit with his excellent performance in this game.

Everyone knew that he had the strength, but when he really broke out, everyone realized that he was so strong that he almost completely dominated this goal feast.

"When Atletico have such good attacking firepower, do they still need to worry about defending?"

The Marca newspaper used this as a maintenance for Yang Hao's decision-making.

Because of a draw in the Champions League before, especially Ramos's red card, Yang Hao's decision was criticized a lot.

But now, Atletico Madrid's wild victory has let everyone see the strength of the Sheets Army.

With such a strong offensive firepower, are some defensive problems still worth paying attention to?

What's more, Yang Hao himself said that he could sacrifice the team's results to train several young defenders in the team.

This decision was also supported by Atletico's management.

So what else is there to say?

……

This season's Copa del Rey has been a hotbed of upsets.

In the first game of the La Liga team, that is, the second round of the Copa del Rey, they eliminated Barcelona, Valencia, Espanyol, Villarreal and other La Liga teams.

After playing the 10th round of La Liga, the third round of the Copa del Rey was ushered in.

The result?

La Liga teams such as Malaga, Deportivo La Coruna, Real Mallorca, Real Sociedad, Albacete and Racing Santander were all eliminated by teams from La Liga or the lower leagues.

Real Madrid met Tenerife in La Liga away and the two sides played 1-1 in normal time, and in the end it was extra-time, Solari scored again to help Real Madrid advance away.

In contrast, Atletico Madrid fared much better, beating Tarragona 1-0 in regulation time thanks to Didier Drogba's goal.

The Ivorian's goal this time came from an assist from Luka Modric.

After the team advanced to the round of 16, Yang Hao was surprised to find that the La Liga teams only accounted for half, that is, 8.

The remaining 12 La Liga teams were all eliminated in the first two rounds.

And this time Atletico Madrid had good luck and drew Atletico Roca.

Speaking of this third-tier C2 team, it is estimated that all fans will feel very unfamiliar, but their head coach, the vast majority of fans should know it.

That's Uli Emery, known as Amelie.

The 33-year-old Spanish coach had just retired from Atletico Roca and the team was not doing well, so he switched from player to manager and took over the team.

Coincidentally, his first game in charge was a 5-2 home win over Malaga to help Atletico Roca advance to the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.

Yang Hao is looking forward to the showdown with Atletico Roca, after all, he will meet Emery.

Especially Emery, who is still a rookie.

Unfortunately, the knockout rounds of the Copa del Rey round of 16 will not start until mid-January.

……

After playing in the Copa del Rey, he returned to La Liga for the 11th round.

Atletico Madrid's 2-2 draw away to Real Mallorca was still a defensive problem for the team.

However, in this round, Barcelona lost 1-2 away to Real Betis, resulting in the gap between the two sides now widening to three points.

Three days later, the team beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at home.

Werder Bremen beat Roma 2-0 at home.

The situation for the two teams to qualify hand in hand has basically been decided.

On the morning after the team finished playing Paris Saint-Germain, when Yang Hao went to work, two documents were placed on Yang Hao's desk.

One of them was Marchena's written transfer request.

I'm wondering, can I have a discussion with you, in the future, we will have two shifts a day from Monday to Friday, and a single shift on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, so that I can also enjoy the treatment of civil servants, right? Even the donkey of the production team can't be pulled every day, right? What do you think?
