April 16, round 32 of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid host Espanyol.

Fernando Torres and Villa scored one goal each, and Kaka, who has been in purple form, has provided two assists in quick succession.

Interestingly, Real Madrid beat Levante 2-0 away.

Barcelona beat Getafe 2-0 at home.

The top three were all coincidentally won 2-0 in this round.

……

April 23, the 33rd round of La Liga.

After being beaten badly in the Copa del Rey, Osasuna faced Atletico again with a bucket-like formation at home.

Atletico eventually beat their opponents 1-0 thanks to a second-half substitute Kaka's goal.

Barcelona beat Malaga 4-0 away.

Real Madrid narrowly beat Villarreal 2-1 at home.

……

26 April, Stamford Bridge, London.

Playing at home, facing the wolf-like Atletico Madrid, Mourinho adopted the 4312 tactic.

Goalkeepers: Cudicini;

Defence: Gallas, Carvalho, Terry and Ferreira;

Midfielders: Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele and Thiago Mendes, with Deco as a number ten;

Forwards: Reyes and Vieri.

Atletico Madrid are also on the lookout.

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech;

Defenders: Patrice Evra, Ramos, Pepe and McConn;

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

Forwards: Franck Franck Ribery, Didier Drogba and Arjen Robben.

From the very beginning of the game, Atletico launched a rush to attack.

Especially on the two flanks.

Franck Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben both tried to threaten on the flanks, while the two full-backs and midfielders stepped forward to support them, leaving Chelsea passive from the outset.

After an attempt of the first ten minutes, Yang Hao saw the weak link on Ferreira's side and immediately increased the attacking intensity on the right side, which made the Chelsea goal suddenly full of noise.

With the ball in the hands of Atletico, Jose Mourinho played with a back four and a back three, creating a defensive formation in central midfield.

The Blues' entire defensive formation was tight, leaving few gaps for Atletico.

Atletico were unable to find the back of the net against Chelsea, despite creating a couple of good chances.

In the entire first half, Chelsea had just one shot on goal, while Atletico had 13 shots on goal, but only three on target, and the difference in possession was 31 per cent to 69 per cent.

With the Blues' stubborn defense, Atletico couldn't come up with a very effective solution.

This became even more evident in the second half.

Atletico kept planning their attacks and got an overwhelming advantage on the pitch, but they couldn't find the back of the net against Chelsea.

And it was in the 73rd minute that Chelsea played a quick counter-attack.

Deco sent in a clever pass, Reyes drove the ball forward, shook Ramos in the box and slotted his foot into the goal, which was saved by Cech.

Corner kick.

Deco took a corner kick and there was chaos in the box.

John Terry scored a goal for Chelsea with a header over Sergio Ramos at a crucial moment.

Subsequently, no matter how Atletico Madrid counterattacked, Yang Hao even replaced Messi in the back and continued to attack Chelsea.

But it still didn't help.

In the end, Atletico lost 1-0 away to Chelsea.

……

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Yang Hao saw Mourinho coming over with a smile and really wanted to punch him.

Isn't it just about winning a ball?

What the hell?

"Drinking?"

After Mourinho shook hands with Yang Hao, he smiled and sent out an invitation.

Before, when he was coaching Porto, he was abused by Yang Hao, and now he finally fought for a breath.

"Drink, I'm afraid you don't have good wine."

"Don't worry, it must be good wine, it's enough."

Mourinho doesn't seem to have learned how much Yang Hao drinks.

"I mean, you're playing too conservatively tonight, aren't you?" Yang Hao was really depressed.

"Against you, if you don't kick like this, how can you win?" Mourinho replied with confidence.

Yang Hao looked at this guy who smiled like a fool after winning the game, "Are you praising me?" Or are you sarcastic about me? ”

"Yes, depending on how you understand it." After Mourinho finished speaking, he left laughing again.

In fact, Chelsea are really strong.

Not to mention anything else, just that one back line, plus three backs, is simply the rhythm of killing and setting fire.

However, after returning to Calderón, Atletico still have a chance.

Chelsea won the game, but it also paid a heavy price.

John Terry, Gallas and Claude Makelele all received yellow cards.

If they return to Calderón, and Carvalho, if they get another yellow card, they will have to be suspended in the final.

It's definitely going to have some impact on the players.

It's not certain who wins and who loses.

If you really want to fight to the death, it's really hard to say who will have the last laugh.

Anyway, Atletico will definitely have a hard time, but Chelsea must not have a good time either.

……

In his post-match press conference, Yang Hao lashed out at Chelsea's conservative tactics.

The possession rate was only 29% in the whole game, which is not outrageous, but outrageous his grandmother!

Yang Hao said that Mourinho played a kind of anti-football at Chelsea, extremely conservative and extremely utilitarian.

'In the second leg at Calderón, I wouldn't have been surprised if he had 11 defenders on the pitch because that's his character, he can do anything to win.

Yang Hao also said that Chelsea's overall strength is indeed strong, but Mourinho has not fully played Chelsea's level, especially his conservative tactics, wasting a luxury squad like Chelsea in vain.

Finally, Yang Hao praised his players.

'Even though we lost at Stamford Bridge, we can still walk away with our heads held high, we are still proud to have lost!'

"I'm so proud of my players' performance tonight!"

Jose Mourinho's argument is the exact opposite.

He first praised Atletico Madrid, and then changed his words, saying that Chelsea used a relatively pragmatic tactic to defeat the opponent, and he also responded to Yang Hao's accusations.

'Yes, we do have a very good squad and we spent a lot of money last summer, but I have to remind you that we are playing against Atletico!'

Mourinho said that in today's world football, the teams that play against Atletico Madrid have basically died miserably.

Even a relatively balanced tactic like Inter Milan would find it difficult to take advantage of Atletico.

'We just had a tactic that would beat Atletico.'

As for Yang Hao's accusation that Mourinho said that he was anti-football, Mourinho readily accepted.

"It's good to beat Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid."

……

After the game, when Yang Hao and Mourinho were drinking in the office at Stamford Bridge, and Mourinho's eyes were so drunk that they were filled with fire and felt sorry that their good wine was poured like boiled water, the outside media completely stood in two factions.

One of the factions is in the majority, supporting Atletico.

The main thing is that Chelsea's tactics in this game are simply too conservative.

Not only were there 7 players defending throughout the game, but even Deco, Reyes and others were retreating and actively defending many times, which led to Chelsea's defense being really meticulous.

But the tactics are also quite conservative.

Even the British media, including The Times and The Guardian, are a little distracted, believing that Mourinho is more suitable for a coach in Serie A than in the passionate Premier League.

'Jose Mourinho should look at Chelsea's poor attendance as he wins.

Although Atletico Madrid lost, the strength shown throughout the game, as well as the wonderful cooperation of their players on the field, greatly satisfied the media and fans.

But there are also some media and fans who stand for Chelsea.

They mainly agree with Mourinho's statement that as long as you can win, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad.

Atletico played more beautifully, but if they lost this game, it would be meaningless.

"When Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid slaughtered Manchester United and Inter Milan in the Champions League, shouldn't other teams think of a more effective tactic to restrain their opponents?"

"Do you think that if you play well, if you play well, if you are stronger, you should win?"

"Atletico Madrid also played ugly back then, and their strength was not as good as their opponents, didn't they still win?"

The funniest thing is Oscar, the gold medal reporter of Ass Daily, who accused Yang Hao of forgetting his original intention in his column.

is mainly aimed at Yang Hao's accusations against Chelsea, because when Atletico Madrid was at a low point, he also adopted this tactical style of play, but now, Atletico Madrid is strong, and he forgets it.

As for this kind of controversy from the outside world, Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid did not participate.

After returning from Stamford Bridge, Yang Hao has been concentrating all his resources on preparation.

He wants to beat Chelsea in the second leg of next week's Champions League semi-final.

……

April 30, the 34th round of La Liga.

Atletico beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at home.

Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad 2-0 away.

Barcelona beat Albacete 2-0 at home.

La Liga top three got the same score again.

This has been interesting for a lot of La Liga fans.

With only four rounds left in La Liga, Atletico Madrid is 11 points ahead of second-placed Barcelona, which can be said to be far ahead.

Barcelona have 77 points, Real Madrid have 69, but Villarreal in fourth place has only 55 points.

This is a clear indication of the overall trend in La Liga at the moment.

Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the only ones that make it difficult for the rest of La Liga to match.

But among these three strong teams, there is a clear gap between them.

There is news that Barcelona is planning to invest heavily in reinforcements this summer in an attempt to overturn Atletico Madrid's domination of La Liga.

Winning the title again this season, the Sheets have already won three consecutive titles in La Liga.

……

May 3, Calderón Stadium, Madrid.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

When the referee from Slovenia, Rubes Michel, blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Atletico players stood on the pitch one by one.

Atletico fans at the scene also couldn't hide their disappointment.

0 to 0!

Lucio's return has given Atletico a boost at the back, making it difficult for Vieri to make a difference throughout the game.

This also allows the team to devote more troops to the attack.

Even, Atletico played a more frantic offensive than the first leg.

Throughout the game, the Sheets had a full 31 shots on goal, more than in the first leg.

But they couldn't find the back of the net for Chelsea.

Especially in the later stages of the game, the two sides are killing people on their backs.

Yang Hao even gathered Atletico's most attacking attacking lineup in the front, but still failed to break through the Chelsea goal.

The Blues were very tenacious and bloody tonight.

Makelle was given another yellow card while marking Kaka; John Terry was also booked for marking substitute Fernando Torres, as well as Gallas, who was also booked for defending Arjen Robben.

As a result, although Chelsea won, Mourinho's face was also very ugly.

Carvalho would have had to be carded in defence against Drogba had it not been for the referee's omission, and Frank Lampard had a handball in the box that was not obvious.

It can be said that after the whole game, although Chelsea got the right to advance and eliminated Atletico Madrid, they did not get much benefit.

Claude Makelle, John Terry and Gallas all fought out in this game and missed out on the Champions League final.

Sometimes, that's how it is.

If Jose Mourinho had been afraid of them and had not let them play, Chelsea would not have been able to hold on to this game.

If in the game, these three players are afraid of winning cards and leave a little bit of strength, then they will not be able to stop Atletico's attack.

So, in a way, Chelsea were able to reach the final because they put together these three big defenders.

Regarding this result, Yang Hao expressed satisfaction at the post-match press conference.

'We showed the best of ourselves, we put in our best performances, but our opponents were very tenacious and even in the second half they were defending almost all of them.

Yang Hao said that there is no eternal winner on the football field, and Atletico Madrid will also lose.

"The two legs of the semi-finals showed us what we lacked."

Atletico already have the world's strongest attacking firepower, with battering rams like Drogba and shock strikers like Torres, as well as players like Messi, Andres Iniesta, Kaka and Ribery in small areas.

Suffice it to say, the offensive of the Sheets Corps is diverse, and nothing is missing.

But in front of the impenetrable Chelsea legion, none of Atletico's attacking tactics could translate into goals.

Yang Hao believes that the elimination of the team mainly comes from two aspects.

The offense needs to continue to improve, that's a point, and the defense needs to keep improving.

Yang Hao said Ramos cried in the dressing room after the first-leg defeat to Chelsea.

'I have the impression that he was a very strong guy and never knew what tears were, but after that fight he was really sad and I know he felt it was his responsibility.

"And Pepe."

Yang Hao didn't reveal too many details in the locker room.

"I want to tell all the fans that Ramos is only 19 years old, he's still a kid and Pepe is not very old."

'We should give this group of young players more room to grow because they are already the best centre-backs in this age group and they can even face world-class attackers like Vieri, Reyes and Diego Forlan on stages like the Champions League semi-finals.

Yang Hao said he couldn't ask more of this group of young players.

'I would say that we won't bring in centre-backs this summer, as a lot of people have speculated, because we already have four of the best centre-backs in European football.

Which four?

Lucio, Ramos, Pepe and Thiago Silva.

The Brazilian resumed training at the end of April, but has been only with the team and has not played in the game due to a long hiatus, and Yang Hao has promised to find a suitable time to play him in the final games of the season.

Judging by his performances in training, Thiago Silva is in good form and not bad at all.

Even, he is the most skilled of the four central defenders in Atletico's current team.

It has to do with the fact that he was born as a winger.

What's more, during the six months of the break, he has been studying the defense of the famous defenders in European football, watching the matches between Atletico Madrid and La Liga, which has helped him a lot in his development.

Yang Hao even has a feeling that if there is no problem with the run-in, it is really hard to say whether the main central defender who will partner with Lucio in the new season is Pepe or Thiago Silva.

Ramos also has a chance, but it's a little smaller.

This defeat to Chelsea was a really big blow to Ramos.

Over the past week, he's become reticent and sullen all along.

Yang Hao talked to him and felt that this was a good sign.

Ramos' personality doesn't change easily, he's just taken a few hits, but it's a good thing for his growth, he's definitely going to get stronger and stronger.

As for Mourinho.

In his post-match press conference, the Chelsea head coach protested the referee's enforcement and said his side were being given "special care" at the Calderón Stadium.

"I can't understand why there is such a rule?"

"Why should we be suspended for the final for the yellow card we got in the knockout stage?"

"Is this fair to us? Is it fair to the fans? ”

"We will appeal against this and we hope that UEFA will change the rules in time because we will not be able to play three key players in the Champions League final, which is outrageous!"

"I don't see any need for such a rule."

Mourinho's remarks also sparked heated discussions again.

If the cumulative yellow card suspension in the knockout round should it be brought to the final?

This is actually a very controversial topic.

The side that thinks it should be brought in mainly thinks that the tactical play you have adopted in the group stage and the knockout stage has led to your players getting too many cards and ultimately missing out on the final, so what's the point of saying that?

If you don't want your key players to be absent in the finals, you should ask your players not to foul easily, or not play this way, or even rotate them.

If the accumulation of yellow card suspensions before the final does not affect the final, then will all the teams that have adopted aggressive tactics lose a tight spell after that?

'It's like Chelsea playing Atletico Madrid in the two legs, will the Blues get tougher?'

"You know, they fouled far more than Atletico in the two legs, and everyone could see that they were stopping Atletico with their tenacious aggression."

"Fight for three core players, that's the price they pay."

"If it's true that these three players can play in the final, as Mourinho said, is it fair to Atletico Madrid?"

At the same time, there is another point, if this logic is followed, the yellow cards in the group stage in the future will not be counted if they enter the knockout round?

But on the other side, the media and fans believe that the final has nothing to do with them since Atletico Madrid lost the semi-finals.

At this time, allowing Chelsea's players who should be suspended for yellow cards to play in the final is more for spectator purposes.

After all, now Chelsea have lost three big players all at once, which has a big impact on the gold content of the final.

"In a way, Atletico are helping Liverpool win the Champions League!"

Rafael Benitez's side beat PSV Eindhoven 1-0 over both legs in the semi-finals to advance to the final 2-0 on aggregate.

Liverpool's attacking power is not even as good as Chelsea's.

In this case, Chelsea are without the trio of Claude Makelele, John Terry and Gallas, and will certainly play more dangerously against Liverpool.

But that certainly affected the spectacle of the Champions League final.

There is some truth in the controversy between the two sides, and neither Yang Hao nor Atletico Madrid have expressed any opinions.

For Atletico Madrid, no matter whether the rules are changed or not, there will be such a set of plays.

But if you change the rules, it will indeed make the opponent further free of his hands.

To put it bluntly, there is no such thing as rules that are absolutely good or bad.

UEFA will definitely weigh the pros and cons themselves.

Yang Hao changed in his previous life, and even changed it again and again, and he felt that there was no problem.

But if you ask him now, from Atletico's standpoint, what do you think about this?

Then Yang Hao will definitely say: If you change the yarn, you should make Mourinho, the butcher, pay the price!

……

Atletico Madrid lost the Champions League and the Premier League duo met in the final, which is not a good thing for La Liga.

It has also caused a heated discussion within Spain.

Especially for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Real Madrid missed out on a top-four finish last season, lost their Champions League qualification and did not perform well in the UEFA Cup this season.

It is clear that the Galactic Battleship is not taking the UEFA Cup seriously at all.

Barcelona was beaten by Chelsea in the round of 16 knockout round, losing all face.

In this context, this season's La Liga European result is the worst in the last few years.

Marca newspaper believes that the main reason for this is the weakness of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This has also caused Real Madrid and Barcelona to receive a lot of blame and pressure.

At least none of their fans will be satisfied with the results of either club.

Atletico Madrid didn't have any reinforcements, but they still reached the semi-finals.

As a traditional giant in La Liga, and a membership-based club, can it be justified just to get such results as it is now?

There are even some Real Madrid and Barcelona fans who have asked the club's management to "reflect".

The newspaper Ace revealed that not long ago, Florentino was at the Bernabeu, inviting many professionals, including football director Sacchi, Butragueno, and Piri, as well as former football director Baldano, as well as many celebrities of Real Madrid.

They had an in-depth exchange on the current situation of Real Madrid, hoping to find a way to save Real Madrid.

At a subsequent internal meeting attended by Real Madrid's board of directors and member representatives, Florentino made a public apology, saying that Real Madrid's superstar strategy had indeed run into problems.

"Under strong pressure from his rivals, Florentino believes that Real Madrid have reached the point where they have to reform."

"He hopes to use two years to correct a series of problems caused by the superstar strategy in the past."

"Several players, including Figo, have been allowed to transfer freely, which represents the dissolution of the first phase of Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleship."

But Real Madrid is still sticking to the superstar strategy.

Florentino said at the conference that the superstar strategy has brought Real Madrid unprecedented benefits that are unimaginable to any club in the world, and at the same time made Real Madrid the most popular club in the world.

"The president of Real Madrid said that even now, Real Madrid has been without a championship in a row, but it can still attract superstars from all over the world to join, which proves that there is no problem with the route of the superstar strategy, mainly because there are some deviations in implementation."

According to the newspaper As, Florentino promised to sign at least three world-class superstars this summer, which will greatly improve the overall strength of Real Madrid and ensure that Real Madrid can return to the first group of European teams in the shortest possible time.

To this end, he has prepared a transfer budget of 100 million euros for Real Madrid.

And the superstar signed this time, in addition to the position that the team currently needs, the biggest feature is to focus on a young person.

"We're not going to blindly chase the best superstars in the position anymore because these superstars are in our team and we're going to try to bring in first-line players who have proven themselves to be at the highest level."

"We are ushering in the era of Galaxy Battleship 2.0!"

According to the newspaper As, Calderón, a core member of the Real Madrid board of directors, revealed in an interview with media reporters after the meeting, "This is an exciting plan, and he will open a new chapter in the history of Real Madrid." ”

"We are strongly behind Florentino's stay at the helm of Real Madrid!"

After the news was revealed, it quickly caused a huge repercussion in the entire European football world.

The budget of 100 million euros will have a very big impact on the entire transfer market, after all, it is Real Madrid.

Coincidentally, the Catalan media also reported that in the past period, the conflict between the vice president Rosell and the head coach Rijkaard was officially reconciled after the chairman Laporta came forward.

This season has not been ideal, especially with Atletico Madrid.

There have been rumours that Russell is trying to replace Rijkaard with Scolari.

But now, Laporta has reaffirmed that Rijkaard will not leave Barca.

Not only that, Barcelona will promise to bring in reinforcements in the new season, around the various positions that the team needs.

"Yes, I can tell you for sure that we are working on bringing in Henry!"

'He's an exciting superstar who can make our attack perfect up front.

Compared with Real Madrid's secrecy, Laporta's direct and frank disclosure of his goal simply shocked fans around the world.

Thierry Henry, this is the number one in the Premier League!

……

Before the season was over, the two sworn enemies came up with killer moves, which made both Cerezo and Hill Jr. feel the pressure.

After receiving the news, the two traveled from Calderón Stadium to Mahada Hongda.

The three major shareholders held a shareholders' meeting in Yang Hao's spacious office.

Yang Hao's opinion is still the same as always, and Atletico Madrid will not bring in reinforcements this summer.

On the one hand, there is no money, and there is a need to raise funds to build the stadium, and on the other hand, there is no need.

As for the opponents, love how to bring in reinforcements at will.

"It's good for La Liga." Yang Hao said.

From the manager's point of view, this season's La Liga is simply too cool.

Atletico led from the start, then all the way through, an absolutely dominant performance.

But what?

From a league point of view, Real Madrid and Barcelona are too stretched.

"From what I've got, Florentino is now in a more secure position as chairman."

Yang Hao also had to admire Florentino's skill, he repeatedly insisted on the superstar strategy, but on this basis, he had to change his thinking about recruitment.

'It is said that he is currently considering three main positions, forward, midfielder and left-back.

This is also very targeted.

Carlos is old, and the forward line is an old problem for Ronaldo and Raul, and they can't do it once they get into the battle.

Real Madrid now want to sign a solid midfielder to complement the two.

Adriano is the first choice, but Moratti will not agree unless Real Madrid give all 100 million euros to Inter.

The left wing-back is thinking about Aurelio and Arsenal's Ashley Cole.

At the beginning of this year, Ashley Cole met privately with Chelsea's Peter Kenyon and Mourinho, and after being stabbed by Arsenal, he made a fuss, and then Ashley Cole was punished by Arsenal.

But after the punishment, he signed a contract extension with Arsenal.

How so?

The whole thing should seem strange, there must be a lot of details and secrets that outsiders don't know.

Even in 2023, before Yang Hao crossed, he failed to get a specific truth from it.

Because of this incident, Ashley Cole lost popularity at Arsenal and it was only a matter of time before he left.

Yang Hao was thinking that under the double pressure of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, Florentino's current situation seems to be better than in his previous life.

This is also a kind of butterfly effect.

After all, Real Madrid is down, but Barcelona is not benefiting either.

As a result, many Real Madrid fans now feel that it is not that Florentino is too bad, but that Atletico Madrid has risen too suddenly.

Yang Hao has a feeling that the resignation of Florentino in his previous life is likely not to happen.

Of course, specific things change every day, and no one knows what will become.

Barcelona wants to sign Henry, Henry wants to come to Barcelona, this is obvious.

Because Thierry Henry once said that he wants to go to a team that has the strength to impact the Champions League.

Obviously, it's either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Speaking of which, this is the butterfly effect brought about by the rise of Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Arsenal signed sponsorship to Emirates, as well as the naming rights of the new stadium, and received a large amount of low-interest loans and funds.

But now?

Emirates doesn't sponsor Arsenal, not even Chelsea, and has always worked closely with Atletico Madrid.

That's the problem, the Gunners are now halfway through the new stadium and out of money, and there have been several news of a lack of money and a shutdown of work in the past.

According to the original plan, it should be officially launched in 2006.

The last year, which is precisely the year of the most ruthless money burning, all the project payments must be paid in this year.

As a result, Arsenal are really out of money now.

So, the British media also revealed that the Gunners did not rule out the possibility of selling Henry.

The premise is that Barcelona's money must be sufficient.

The other is that Barcelona is planning to bring in a midfielder and a central defender.

In the battle between Russell and Rijkaard, Laporta sided with Rijkaard and took the advantage.

Next, it is said that Barcelona want to sign Ajax's Van der Vaart.

"From the point of view of the club operator, I think it's a good thing."

"If players like Thierry Henry, Ashley Cole, Gilardino, Cassano, Ballack, Rosicky and Van Bommel can really come to La Liga, do you think what kind of prosperity will La Liga be like then?"

These are all big hits in the transfer market this summer.

Rosicky has been the best midfielder in the Bundesliga this season, while Van Bommel has also been very good at Arsenal.

Cassano's contract with Roma expires in 2006, and the Italian talent is also very popular.

Gilardino has done well at Parma and Real Madrid want to sign him.

If these stars can come to La Liga, then the entire La Liga will become more star-studded, which will be of great benefit to La Liga to open up the global market.

As for money, it doesn't seem to be a big problem right now.

Even Barcelona can raise the money to buy Henry, let alone Real Madrid.

Not a big problem.

"From a business point of view, that's true, but from a football point of view, it's worrying." Little Hill is cautious by nature.

"No team can remain undefeated."

"By the way, Carlos Leao, how about the sponsorship of Kaka, Torres, Xavi Alonso and others?" Yang Hao changed the subject.

"I was about to tell you that it was all settled."

Atletico are now actively developing commercial value for their players, with Fernando Torres, for example, being offered endorsement contracts from Nike, PepsiCo, Giorgio Armani and several Spanish companies.

Kaka is sponsored by Adidas, PepsiCo, Giorgio Armani and a local Brazilian beverage giant.

The same goes for the likes of Xavi Alonso.

Atletico Madrid's marketing department is expanding rapidly, doubling its workforce and opening subsidiaries in the United States, Japan and Dubai to develop the global market.

Since Atletico Madrid owns half of the image rights of the players, they also actively help the players develop commercial value, and the results are very large.

It's interesting.

In addition to Torres, who is the spokesperson of Nike, Kaka, Xavi Alonso and others were all pulled away by Adidas.

Atletico now have a very close relationship with both giants.

……

In the last 4 rounds of La Liga, there is actually not much suspense.

Atletico winning the title is already a certainty.

After playing Chelsea, Atletico came on as a full bench and lost 2-1 away to Deportivo La Coruna.

It was also the third defeat for the Sheets this season.

They then drew 2-2 at home to Real Betis for their fifth draw of the season.

In the 37th round, the team drew 3-3 with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Mainly because Atletico Madrid has won the championship in advance, and Yang Hao has to save strength for the Copa del Rey final in midweek, so Messi and others are arranged to start.

Both teams played against each other, played very well, you went back and forth, the process was ups and downs, but in the end it was a handshake.

In the subsequent Copa del Rey final, Atletico Madrid sat at home against Real Betis.

The Sheets have unleashed their hands at home and have taken on a pattern of bombardment against Real Betis.

Just 10 minutes into the game, Franck Ribery set up Fernando Torres to open the scoring.

Towards the end of the first half, Xavi Alonso sent in a long ball and Atletico played a beautiful attacking combination on the left side of the field, Andres Iniesta sent a through ball and Patrice Evra burst into the left side of the box and hit the goalkeeper.

2 to 0!

After the rematch in the second half, McCone sent an assist on the right side, and Torres scored again, 3-0!

Just two minutes later, from a corner, Lucio's header was deflected wide and Ramos scored from the back post.

The young Ramos has finally raised his eyebrows and stepped out of the shadow of the Champions League semi-final.

After his goal, he was so excited that the whole stadium ran wildly, receiving the cheers and cheers of the Atletico fans.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Betis 4-0 and won the Copa del Rey!

The dust has settled on La Liga.

In the final round, Barcelona drew 0-0 away at Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid beat Zaragoza 3-1 away.

Atletico Madrid beat Getafe 4-0 at home.

Didier Drogba scored a brace and was very eye-catching.

It is worth mentioning that Thiago Silva came off the bench in the second half of this game.

Atletico Madrid's fans welcomed the young Brazilian centre-back with a round of applause.

Especially after the game, Thiago Silva lifted the two trophies of La Liga and Copa del Rey with the whole team, as well as the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

This past season, Atletico have won a total of 5 trophies.

Speaking on behalf of the team at the ceremony, Yang Hao laid out the future for all Atletico fans, including the new stadium.

The new Atletico Madrid stadium has now completed the underground part and it took almost one year.

Yang Hao said that he put forward a request to the designer, that is, to make the club's exhibition hall bigger.

"I told them that if it's too small, we'll fill it up quickly!"

The scene immediately resounded with an extremely warm applause.

Inside and outside the stadium, countless Atletico Madrid fans cheered.

From 2000 to 5 years later, under the coaching of Yang Hao, Atletico Madrid has become the most powerful team in European football and even in world football.

This made all Atletico Madrid fans feel excited and excited, and they all believed that as long as Yang Hao was still around, Atletico Madrid would be able to continue to be strong.

Although the outside media has been hyping Real Madrid and Barcelona to sign superstars, Atletico Madrid fans are not worried at all.

Because, Yang Hao is still there!

Captain Baraja was in the stadium, listening to the shouts of Atletico Madrid fans, looking at the head coach Yang Hao on the stage, and he was very proud in his heart.

In the summer of five years ago, between Valencia and Atletico Madrid, he chose Atletico Madrid and Yang Hao.

The past five years have been the pinnacle of his career.

He is not only a Spanish international, but also the captain of Atletico Madrid, and the captain of Spain's first treble-winning team.

Now he is an out-and-out legend and celebrity of Atletico Madrid.
