In the days between '05 and '06, the news in Spain was completely dominated by A Coruña.

Except for the first day of the acquisition, Amancio Ortega came forward to explain his intentions to the local fans of Deportivo La Coruna to buy his hometown team, and looked forward to the future globalization of La Liga, he never came forward again.

But there was a lot of news about him and A Coruña.

The 70-year-old veteran is said to have given very few interviews, and even on the day his company went public, he only released photos of himself, and there was very little news about him.

What's more interesting is that, according to the local media in Deportivo La Coruna, he prefers the Deportivo women's football team to the men's football team.

Of course, this is not because he likes old cows to eat tender grass, but because his Zara is famous for its women's clothing.

There are even rumors that he reluctantly bought Deportivo because he didn't want to see the dissolution of the Deportivo women's football team.

Of course, this statement is all rumor, and who knows what this old comrade really thinks?

But there is one thing that has been done particularly vigorously.

That is, on the day he announced the acquisition of Deportivo La Coruna, he reached an agreement with Rondolo and other shareholders and officially signed the contract, and as soon as he took over Deportivo La Coruna, he fired all the senior management of the club and replaced them with his own people.

This caused an uproar throughout Spanish football.

Everyone thinks, is this old comrade crazy?

According to internal sources, Amancio Ortega is disappointed with the poor management of Deportivo La Coruna, believing that they have made a strong team in European football what it is today.

He was determined to rebuild Deportivo after cleaning the club of moths out of the corpses.

At the same time, he invited his good friend, Luis Suárez Miramones, the first Ballon d'Or winner in the history of Spanish football, to return to the mountain and take up a post at Deportivo La Coruna.

The veteran is a Deportivo native, but his career peaked at Barcelona and Inter Milan, winning the Ballon d'Or in 1960, enjoying a very high prestige in European football, and even serving as Moratti's advisor for a long time.

Some media broke the news that Luis Suarez and Amancio Ortega are of the same age and have a good relationship.

Amancio Ortega has long been disheartened by Deportivo La Coruna and doesn't even go to see Deportivo La Coruna's game, and the reason why he decided to make a move this time is because he values the development potential of La Liga and helps the group's business.

Second, he has the support of Luis Suarez.

The two Deportivo seniors don't want to see their hometown team sink like this.

Luis Suarez then gave an interview to the Spanish newspaper Marca at the Stadio Riazo with his new team from Deportivo La Coruna, where they presented their approach to Deportivo Aportivo on behalf of Amancio Ortega.

"Debt has never been a problem, the real problem for A Coruña right now is cash flow."

Deportivo will next reorganize its finances and restructure its debts, and I believe there will not be too many problems.

In the original words of the Marca newspaper reporter in the report, this matter, which seems to be bigger than the sky in the eyes of the former president of Deportivo Rentoro and others, is not a big deal at all in the eyes of the new team.

That's the difference in ability.

Luis Suarez said: "Deportivo La Coruna has always been on an orderly route, but in the last few years, the team has wasted too much money and caused the debt to continue to rise, which is not at all in line with the objective environment of Deportivo La Coruna. ”

What objective environment?

The new CEO of A Coruña gave a set of figures.

"You see, we have a total of 220,000 people in Deportivo and the average attendance at the Riazor is more than 20,000, which means that we have a tenth of the city's population walking into the stadium every game."

"This is already our limit!"

"We are different from the big cities of Madrid and Barcelona, which have a population of almost four million and they are very well connected, with a metropolitan area of more than 6 million, a tenth of which is 600,000."

Therefore, in the definition of Deportivo La Coruna's new team, they should not be compared with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and other teams at all, because there is no comparison, the population base is there.

Deportivo La Coruna's business strategy needs to be adjusted, with La Liga expanding globally on the one hand, and local roots on the other.

Needless to say, there are Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona charging in front, and Deportivo following behind.

The latter is to further improve the club's infrastructure, provide better service to fans, attract more fans, and even more than one million people in the entire urban area around A Coruña.

However, Luis Suarez said that Deportivo La Coruna is pragmatic and does not mean that the team has no ambitions.

"Our goal is to be a strong contender for a Champions League place after the three giants of the Western Super League."

Luis Suarez said head coach Joaquín Caparos will remain in his role.

'He's a very capable manager.

Deportivo La Coruna will make reinforcements during the winter break, but they won't be investing heavily.

"It's not Deportivo style."

Next, Deportivo La Coruna's series of actions surprised the entire Spanish football world.

Signed midfielder Raul Meireles from Porto for €3.5 million.

Signed Brazilian midfielder Diego from Porto for €6 million.

South Africa international Pienaar signed from Ajax for €1 million and his contract expires in June.

Dutch international Frenkie de Jong was signed from Ajax for €1.5 million.

Signed the captain of the national youth team from Real Madrid for 1.3 million euros.

Signed Ecuadorian winger Antonio Valencia from Villarreal for 1.8 million euros.

Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo was signed from Racing Santander for 2 million euros.

Brazilian centre-back Juan was signed from Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga for 6.5 million euros.

Plus the players of Andrade, Coloccini, Cesar Martin, Scaloni, Duscher, Sergio, Capdevilla, Bellerón, Munitis, Alberto Luke, Tristan, Pandiani, Victor Sanchez and Sisko were among the players in the original Deportivo team.

After this series of signings, Deportivo La Coruna's overall strength has been greatly improved, and the team has become younger.

According to the media, Amancio Ortega's instructions are that all players must perform at their best in the next six months, otherwise, after the season, they will all be gone!

"From now on, we will not keep an idler in Deportivo La Coruna!"

What does it mean to be vigorous?

Yang Hao has seen it thoroughly!

Amancio Ortega is now making it clear that he wants to force the players to roll in, and whoever can't perform well will leave.

Especially those who are 30 years old and above.

Don't look at Deportivo La Coruna's introduction of 8 players, which shocked the entire European football winter break.

But in reality?

They only spent more than 20 million euros.

There are definitely masters!

Yang Hao didn't believe that Amancio Ortega could make such a battle as soon as he took over.

Not even one more Luis Suarez.

He is more of a behind-the-scenes consultant, and he doesn't know anything about reality at all.

In European football, it would not have been possible to do what Amancio Ortega did without the help of a master.

Especially the players he signed, all of them are young, powerful, and the price is low.

For example, Diego, is 6 million euros expensive?

He is a genius on par with Robinho in Brazil, but he didn't play in Porto, otherwise, with the characteristics of the black store Porto, he could sell for 6 million euros?

Sure enough, when Yang Hao led the team from Dubai, he immediately got the inside information behind it.

……

"Guess who?"

In the office of Calderón Stadium, Little Hill pretended to be mysteriously selling to Yang Hao.

Everyone around was amused.

"Jorge Mendes!" Little Hill was quick to give an answer.

Yang Hao had an expression that I knew.

This is quite normal.

Without a powerful master behind to help operate and operate, Amancio Ortega and others would not have been able to do it.

"It's been a long time coming, hasn't it?" Yang Hao guessed.

Cerezo nodded, "I said I started preparing a few months ago, and this old fox hid deep enough." ”

Like Amancio Ortega, who is old, more traditional-minded, and the key is to climb up from the bottom step by step, absolutely none of them are simple.

If nothing else, it can be seen from his sober positioning of A Coruña.

Deportivo La Coruna's future business direction is the European zone under the three masters, and even the Champions League.

"With Amancio Ortega as the backing, less than 200 million euros of debt, restructuring is not a problem at all, and the bank may even be more than happy to lend a little more money to Laco." Fernando Vázquez, the God of Wealth, said.

That's the difference between people.

Amancio Ortega doesn't even need to come forward in person, just send a pawn below, and he can easily solve the troubles that have plagued Rondolo for many years.

"This old man's strategic vision is also high enough, their brand business is globalizing, and the acquisition of Deportivo La Coruna at this time will not only please locals and locals, but also take this bus in La Liga."

"If it were me, the next step would be to take down the advertising on the chest of A Coruña, print their Zara directly, and turn the left hand into the right hand, and even save the advertising fee." Carlos Leo said funny.

Not to mention, there is a real possibility.

Yang Hao is really a bit messy now.

It feels like European football, especially Spain, is in a mess right now.

Dimitar Berbatov excelled in Valencia, Vincent Kompany in Sevilla and Mikel Arteta remained at Real Sociedad.

And the outrageous thing is that Deschamps actually coached Real Madrid.

He's really trying to get out of the groove right now.

With the current environment, if Wenger coaches Real Madrid this summer, Yang Hao will definitely not be surprised!

It's a mess!

It is completely beyond Yang Hao's imagination.

"Judging from the current recruitment and performance of Deportivo La Coruna, at most two years, they will return to the ranks of La Liga powerhouses, at least not losing to teams such as Valencia and Sevilla." Yang Hao guessed.

The key is whether Caparos can integrate the team as soon as possible.

Truth be told, Caparos is also a Spanish coach, and if he can really bring Deportivo out of the country, then his career will go further.

If not, it is estimated that he will leave soon.

As soon as Amancio Ortega arrived, he set off a bloody storm and shocked the audience!

This is the big guy!

It's really unconvincing.

"Deportivo will not affect us for the time being, but we can't be careless." Yang Hao reminded everyone.

What is the situation at Atletico right now?

As long as the Sheets don't make mistakes, it's a high probability that they'll win the championship.

This is a bit similar to Barcelona around 2010 in Yang Hao's previous life.

And what if Barcelona want to win the title?

You have to let Atletico make mistakes and they have a chance.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, have to make mistakes for Atletico and Barcelona to have a chance.

By analogy, Deportivo La Coruna's current impact on Atletico Madrid cannot be said to be none, but it is small.

Atletico Madrid's current strength is not afraid of a strengthened Deportivo La Coruna, they are more towards Valencia, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao and other teams, and there is still a long way to go with the three masters.

That's how it has been this season.

Next season is not clear, because the situation is changing all the time.

But suddenly killing a big guy like Amancio Ortega is a real headache.

For La Liga as a whole, it's definitely good.

But the competition will also become more and more fierce.

It was also at this moment that Yang Hao really realized that La Liga was sprinting towards the world's first league.

……

The first match after returning from Dubai was the first leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16 on 4 January.

Atletico host Zaragoza.

The Sheets have a small problem, and that is that Drogba is back for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Kaka is accompanying his wife on his honeymoon, which was approved by Yang Hao.

And on the 8th, he will face Valencia at home, so Yang Hao has made a large rotation.

The duo of Ramos and Pepe was hit by Diego Milito from the start.

The Argentine centre-back recurred with a header to set Carney past Atletico.

But soon, Villa equalised for Atletico with a shot on goal.

Unexpectedly, then Diego Milito personally went into battle, and then the next city exceeded the score again.

Atletico didn't score a goal until the 61st minute through David Silva.

In the end, the home team drew 2-2 with Zaragoza.

……

At the weekend, in the 18th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Valencia.

Kaka was not there, Yang Hao discharged the midfield combination of Iniesta and Baraja in the midfield, followed by Xavi Alonso.

Up front, it's a trident combination of Franck Ribery, Fernando Torres and Messi.

As soon as the game began, Atletico Madrid took advantage of the home team's advantage and attacked Valencia non-stop.

Marchena returned to the Calderón Stadium and was very active, bent on proving his strength at Atletico Madrid's home stadium in front of Yang Hao.

The two sides fought hard for more than half an hour, until the 33rd minute, Messi broke through with the ball, attracted the attention of the defense and then divided the ball to the right, Alves picked up the penalty area on the right side, and Torres volleyed from the edge of the small penalty area in the middle, breaking through Canizares's goal and opening the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

After that, the two sides continued to stalemate.

Valencia was forced to adopt a tight defensive tactic, struggling to hold on until the 69th minute, Messi received Iniesta's ball, burst into the right side of the penalty area, crossed to the back post, and Ribery inserted a volley.

2 to 0!

In the end, Atletico beat Valencia 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Fernando Torres and Ribery.

In this round, Barcelona defeated Espanyol 2-1 away thanks to goals from Van der Vaart and Samuel Eto'o.

But this game actually exposed one of Barcelona's more serious problems, defense.

In terms of the score, Barcelona did beat Espanyol, but from the process, on the road, Barcelona's entire attack was not in the best state, but the problem of defense was not small.

Raul Tamudo is often able to get chances at the back for Barca.

Whether it's Belletti on the right or Van Bronckhorst on the left, there are obvious defensive problems.

On the offensive end, they contribute a lot, but they also have a big problem defending.

Hidden dangers cannot be ruled out, and Barcelona's situation is still worrying.

Real Madrid beat Villarreal 1-0 away thanks to Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal.

This is Didier Deschamps' first La Liga game in charge of Real Madrid.

Judging by the course of the game, Deschamps readjusted the team's defence, using Cannavaro to partner Woodgate.

Woodgate has a better physicality, a good ability to grab points, and a good pick, with him up front and Cannavaro behind, forming a complement and having height.

This combination is a standout in the competition.

But the hidden danger is Woodgate's injury.

With Sicinho on the right, Real Madrid even sold Arbeloa to Deportivo La Coruna and Ashley Cole on the left.

The biggest change is actually in midfield.

Deschamps adopts a tactic similar to 4141.

Patrick Vieira dragged back to play as a lone midfielder, ahead of a combination of Zinedine Zidane, Essien, David Beckham and Joaquin.

Ruud van Nistelrooy plays as a lone striker.

The whole of Europe knows that Villarreal is known for their South American style, and Pellegrini is an attacking man, especially Riquelme in the middle.

But Didier Deschamps did a good job of freezing Riquelme in this game, leaving the Argentine midfielder without any chance to fight back.

Defensively, Didier Deschamps' combination has really brought stability to Real Madrid.

The only problem is that the game is too unsightly.

Basically, they relied on two full-backs and Joaquin to create opportunities for Van Nistelrooy in front.

This style of play is completely different from the mercury-like possession style of Real Madrid in the past.

But it really injects stability.

After this round of matches, Yang Hao specially watched the video of the game between Real Madrid and Villarreal, and he had to say that Deschamps still has something of his own.

Especially defensively, it's really good.

Of course, the game is not good-looking.

But because in the past two seasons, Real Madrid have played too hard, especially this season, and now against a team like Villarreal, Real Madrid can still win away from home.

It's ugly, what's wrong?

The current Real Madrid is really not qualified to choose.

Is it possible to drive Deschamps away again?

If Real Madrid is changing the coach like a knife, then Super Laco is now directly reborn after changing the chairman.

Narrow 2-1 away win over Athletic Bilbao.

Good guys, after winning this game, the ranking has risen to 6th place.

……

On January 11, the second leg of the knockout round of 16 of the Copa del Rey was held.

Atletico continued to rotate their line-up, playing away to Zaragoza.

Yang Hao's side took the lead in the opening game thanks to Robben's goal, but after more than 70 minutes of hard fighting with Zaragoza, it was finally in the 77th minute that Diego Milito broke through Palop's goal.

1 to 1, the two sides shook hands.

However, Zaragoza eliminated Atletico Madrid by virtue of an away goal advantage.

Atletico Madrid ended in the round of 16 in the Copa del Rey this season.

And the day after the game, Kaka rushed back to Madrid in a hurry, first went to his home to put his things, and went directly to Mahada Hongda to report at noon.

Looking at Kaka's dusty appearance, Yang Hao was still very happy in his heart.

This proves that in Kaka's heart, Atletico is still very important.

……

On the evening of January 14, the 19th round of La Liga.

Although Kaka came back, Yang Hao still didn't let him play, and he didn't even arrange for him to be in the squad.

Yang Hao told Kaka that the team's preparations for the entire winter break were carried out according to the original plan.

Losing the Copa del Rey is within acceptable limits.

Therefore, the most important thing for Kaka now is not to rush to compete, but to adjust his condition as soon as possible, reserve his physical strength, and exert his strength for the next half of the season and the Champions League.

That's the point!

On the road, Baraja received a pass from Xavi Alonso in the 19th minute and scored a furious shot from behind to beat Real Betis.

Although the captain of Atletico Madrid is not young, his strength is still very strong, and his form is also very good.

Real Betis then assisted Juanito to score with a free-kick from Assunsan.

But just before the end of the first half, Arjen Robben burst into the right side of the box with the ball and created a foul that awarded Atletico a penalty, and the players on the pitch signaled Robben to take the penalty himself.

Arjen Robben scored in one fell swoop to put the score over again for Atletico.

But after the second half of the rematch, Atletico Madrid made another effort.

In the 58th minute, Iniesta sent a diagonal pass, and after Robben cut diagonally into the penalty area, he scored with a low right-footed shot, 3-1!

Dutch Flyer scored a brace!

And in the 77th minute, from Torres, Robben dribbled horizontally in the front of the penalty area, went to the left side of the arc to hit the goal, and broke the goal of Real Betis again.

Hat-trick!

Towards the end of the game, it was Torres who provided the assist, and Villa, who replaced Ribery, scored again.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Real Betis 5-1 away!

This big win completely resolved the dismal situation of Atletico Madrid's elimination from the Copa del Rey.

Yang Hao said at the post-match press conference that he was very satisfied with the current situation of the team.

'We can't always win all the games, all the titles, it's not realistic.

'I think my players did their best, they did really well and I'm proud of them!'

Also in this round, Super Laco defeated Alaves 2-0 at home.

Barcelona reversed Athletic Bilbao 2-1.

Llorente scored in the 15th minute, before Ronaldinho converted a penalty and Thierry Henry also scored.

But the most shocking thing about this round was Real Madrid.

Real Madrid beat visiting Sevilla 4-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The point is, Zidane played at his peak, scored a hat-trick and provided an assist, directing the victory by himself and winning rave reviews at the Bernabeu once again.

Didier Deschamps used a different style of play from the previous game and adopted a 4231 tactic.

The midfield lined up with the back-to-back combination of Ballack and Vieira, with Zidane rushing forward, Robinho and Joaquin on the wings, and Ruud van Nistelrooy in front, and the game was completely blown up.

Ballack scored the first goal of the game.

After the game, Zidane was certainly well received, but Didier Deschamps' coaching also showed his quality.

Especially the change of two games in a row.

On the road, he played conservatively, but when he came back at home, he tried to adopt a more aggressive approach.

That's a smart way to do it.

After this round of matches, the top 5 in La Liga are now Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna.

……

A week later, the 20th round of La Liga.

Atletico continued to adjust their fitness and form, beating Zaragoza 2-0 away at Zaragoza thanks to goals from Arjen Robben and Fernando Torres.

This victory also showed everyone that the Sheets lost the Copa del Rey only because they didn't take it very seriously.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, conceded a goal first and reversed Cadiz 3-1 at home thanks to goals from Ashley Cole, David Beckham and Robinho.

After Didier Deschamps took charge of Real Madrid, he ushered in three consecutive La Liga wins, and if you count the two Copa del Rey games, it is five consecutive wins.

Barcelona beat Alaves 2-0 at home.

Deportivo La Coruna drew 2-2 at home to Real Mallorca in this round.

Valencia beat Real Betis 2-0 away.

It's clear that La Liga has become more and more intense.

……

January 28, the 21st round of La Liga.

Atletico host Deportivo La Coruna.

This is the highlight of the first matchday of the 21st round of La Liga, and it is also a key match that will be broadcast live to the world.

As a result, before the start of this match, Deportivo La Coruna made a surprise maneuver.

They announced the termination of their sponsorship contract with Fadesa, the sponsor of the shirt advertisement on their chests.

This is a medium-sized company in Spain that has sponsored A Coruña since 01, but the contracts are signed for 2 years, so they expire at the end of 06.

After Amancio Ortega bought Deportivo La Coruna, he was looking for ways to approach the contract.

After nearly a month of entanglement, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

The details of how Deportivo will compensate for it are not elaborated.

As it was not revealed at the time, how much the company would cost to sponsor A Coruña.

Subsequently, Deportivo La Coruna announced that it had reached a sponsorship agreement with Zara, and quickly dyed the Zara logo and bold English letters on the chest of the jersey before the match in Madrid.

Although it was an away game, Deportivo La Coruna still lined up the tactics of 4231.

Atletico Madrid responded with 433 at home.

The Bians, for their part, were still adjusting their fitness and form, but Deportivo was clearly prepared and played very hard.

This is also in line with Caparos's usual style.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Arjen Robben burst into the box on the right and scored again to open the scoring for Atletico.

But at the start of the second half, Ramos's mistake gave the opposition a chance to equalize, and Tristan scored a goal.

After that, Antonio López, who started in place of the injured Patrice Evra, scored another goal to put the score above again.

But four minutes later, Capdevilla's shot from the left side of the box found the back of the net for Cech.

It wasn't until the 82nd minute that Torres scored again for Atletico to seal the win.

3 to 2!

Atletico narrowly win at home!

The game was very tight and Atletico won quite dangerously.

Especially the Deportivo players, it was a visible desperate and mental state was completely different from before.

It is reported that Deportivo La Coruna has paid off all the salaries and bonuses owed to the players in the past month, but it has also drawn a red line and everyone must play with their lives.

Barcelona beat Real Mallorca 1-0 away.

Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo 2-1 away.

……

Entering February, the 22nd round of La Liga.

The focus of the first match day, Real Madrid sat at home, with Zidane's brace, 4-0 home defeat Espanyol, Deschamps since taking over Real Madrid, all the way to victory, like a bamboo.

Super Laco lost 1-0 at home to Valencia.

On the afternoon of the second matchday, Atletico Madrid travelled to the Camp Nou to host Barcelona.

Rijkaard made a very surprising change ahead of this game.

Abandoned the 433, which Barcelona was best at in the past, and switched to the 4312 formation.

Goalkeepers: Valdés;

Defence: Silvinho, Puyol, Oleg and Gabry;

Midfielders: Van der Vaart, Marcos and Xavi trail behind, Ronaldinho comes forward;

Forwards: Thierry Henry and Samu Eto'o.

Strictly speaking, this can't be considered a 4312 formation, but a bit like a diamond position in the midfield.

Yang Hao's side continued to discharge 433 tactics.

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech;

Defenders: Antonio López, Thiago Silva, Lucio and McConn;

Midfielders: Xavi Alonso in the middle, Andres Iniesta and Baraja in the middle;

Forwards: Villa, Torres and Robben.

And in this game, both Kaka and Messi were on the bench.

As soon as the game started, Barcelona tried to use Ronaldinho's point to organize the attack.

The two sides played directly at a fast pace, and the scramble was very intense.

Barcelona, in particular, threatened Atletico's goal with a corner kick in just four minutes.

But Yang Hao immediately made adjustments, signaling Baraha to retreat and pick up Xavi Alonso.

Xavi Alonso alone can't stand Ronaldinho.

This adjustment has temporarily stabilized the situation.

And in the 13th minute, Atletico Madrid's midfield broke the ball, Iniesta sent a diagonal pass, Robben advanced with the ball, shook off Silvinho, and sent a through ball.

Fernando Torres scored with a solo shot, but the linesman raised the flag for offside and the goal was disallowed.

The whole Camp Nou was cheering.

In the 20th minute, Iniesta sent a through ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area, and Villa stopped the ball and shook it past Gabri and Oleg in succession, and then kicked the goal, slightly high.

Atletico gradually suppressed Barcelona on the field.

Especially the combination of Antonio López and Villa on the left.

Rijkaard used Oleg to partner Puyol in this game, just to limit Torres.

Marcos and Puyol are both lacking in height and will struggle against Torres.

Oleg was completely suppressed by Atletico Madrid in the previous game between the two sides, and Barcelona's right side was beaten into a sieve.

So this time, Rijkaard made a change, using Gabri on the right and Oleg to central defence.

As a result, the results are still far from ideal.

Atletico often threaten on the left, while on the right, Robben relied on his individual ability to create chances in a row.

On both flanks, Atletico completely overwhelmed Barca, which made Barca a little tired.

Especially in the 21st minute, Antonio López's wonderful pass, Villa got past Gabrie and Oleg again, and when he got up to hit the goal, Valdés came out to save.

In the 31st minute, Robben connected two players on the right and fired a left-footed shot that was saved by Valdés.

A succession of attacks paid off for Atletico.

In the 38th minute, Baraja stepped forward to meet Andres Iniesta's and sent a pick pass to the right side of the penalty area.

Arjen Robben cut in at high speed and headed the ball down the middle, where Torres shook off Puyol and Oleg to find the back of the net from close range.

"The ball is in!!!"

"Torres!"

"In the 38th minute, Torres opened the scoring for Atletico at a crucial moment!"

"1 to 0!"

"It was Atletico's first goal of the night!"

The entire Camp Nou stadium fell silent.

Countless fans couldn't hide their disappointment.

In the past few years, Barcelona have not been able to win against Atletico Madrid.

This season turned out to be the same.

……

Rijkaard shook his head from the sidelines, and sighed softly as he walked back.

On the cards, Barcelona have the strength to compete with Atletico Madrid.

But when it comes to the game, the Atletico Madrid players are not only very confident, but also cooperate more tacitly.

Because they have been working together for many years in the same mature and stable tactical framework.

So, Kaka didn't play, but Baraja could still get Atletico's midfield moving.

The 30-year-old veteran was very good and solid in this game, both offensively and defensively.

Yang Hao has such self-confidence that he dares to continue to hide Kaka in this game.

"Keep playing like this, we're going to lose in the second half!"

Rijkaard walked back to the home team's dugout, and Ten Carter analysed him.

Why don't Dutch black swans know?

But Atletico are just too strong.

"We should get out of the way and fight with them!" Tengkart suggested.

Rijkaard was stunned for a moment, and looked at his assistant with some surprise.

Ten Carter is a very serious person and has a strong personality, so he can manage the dressing room.

The combination of the two is one who sings white face and the other who sings red face.

The good guy is definitely Rijkaard.

But Rijkaard's personality is sometimes on the soft side, and he knows this, so he still relies heavily on Ten Carter.

"What do you mean......"

"Get out of the way in the second half and fight with them!" Tengkart insisted.

Rijkaard was a little hesitant, it was too risky.

"If it doesn't work out, then we ......"

"It's also a loss!" Tengkart reminded.

Now that they're already one goal behind, are you afraid of conceding more goals?

"With our defense, we can't stop Atletico at all, if we want to fight with them, we have to fight to attack!" Tengkart stuck to his ideas.

Rijkaard hesitated.

But just before the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid almost pressed Barcelona in the last few minutes.

Fernando Torres, Villa, Antonio Lopes and Arjen Robben were all very active, catching Barcelona in the attack and frequently getting opportunities to get their feet.

Arjen Robben was even tripped by Puyol in the Barcelona penalty area again.

Thankfully, the referee did not award a penalty.

Rijkaard, while breathing a sigh of relief, also secretly made a decision.

Perhaps, Tengkart is right!

Can't take it anymore!

Atletico are so strong, then they have to be stronger than Atletico to have a chance to win.

Blindly retreating, blindly seeking stability, you can't kill Atletico at all!

……

At half-time, Barcelona made a substitution.

This made Yang Hao feel very surprised.

Gyuli on the right replaced Oleg, who had performed poorly, and Marcos returned to the back to partner Puyol.

Barcelona changed to a 433 configuration.

In midfield, Xavi dragged behind, Van der Vaart and Ronaldinho stepped forward, and up front was a combination of Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and Giuli.

This really surprised Yang Hao.

In his memory, Rijkaard had never been so adventurous.

This is simply an undefended midfield, just to play against Atletico Madrid, and it is going to be dead.

Yang Hao immediately realized a danger signal, and immediately walked to the sidelines and reminded his players.

But when the game started, Barcelona decisively launched a rush, and everyone formed a high pressure on Atletico Madrid in the front.

In the 54th minute, after Ronaldinho received a pass from his teammates in front, he stopped the ball and turned around, grabbed the left side of the penalty area before Baraja, Henry inserted it and shot directly, but it was saved by goalkeeper Cech.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, Samuel Emineo suddenly appeared and slotted the ball into the Atletico goal.

1 to 1!

Flat!

The whole Camp Nou stadium exploded in an instant!

Rijkaard was so excited that he cheered loudly on the sidelines, and the whole person rushed out of the coach's command area, completely out of control.

Nearly 100,000 Barcelona fans at the scene were all cheering wildly.

What a bold and courageous decision!

Rijkaard has never gambled as much as he does now, because that's not his style.

But when he tried to take the plunge for the first time, when he let it go, he suddenly got a reward!

This feeling made his emotions completely out of control!

Yang Hao shook his head speechlessly on the sidelines.

What else can be said?

The rabbit is anxious and bites.

Rijkaard is now being cornered by himself.

However, since the opponent has the courage to want to play the attack, so let's do it!

When it comes to attacking, we have never been afraid of anyone!

Yang Hao immediately motioned for Parrales to go over to the bench and let Messi warm up.

I don't know when Messi has been very disgusted with Barcelona, so every time he fights Barcelona, he is very energetic.

Yang Hao is going to let Messi go up this time and engage in Barcelona!

Kaka is our first Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year.

And Messi is our first Atletico Madrid Golden Boy winner!

Come on, Messi, let Barcelona see how powerful you are!

For the sake of better reading, I have compressed the transfer of Deportivo La Coruna, and everyone understands that these transfers are completed within a one-month transfer period. Kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Thanks!!
