On the evening of February 21, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

In the first leg of the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid challenged the Red Wolves away to Roma.

Spalletti is an alternative in Italian football, and unlike other conservative Italian managers, he is an attacking player.

After taking charge of Roma, he opted for a pack of wolves when the Red Wolves did not have a regular centre-forward.

That is, Totti is up front and is responsible for disrupting the opposition centre-backs.

The Wolves will pull the opposition's central defenders and defence by constantly running, creating space for his teammates behind him to cut in and attack.

Players such as Roberto Mancini, Pizarro, Perrotta, Tadej and others are used to playing such roles at the same time.

This poses a big problem for the opponent's defense.

Just 10 minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid's goal was born.

Totti dropped back to receive the ball, got rid of Mascherano and sent a through ball, Tadej sent a low cross from the right, and Perrotta swept in front of goal to find the back of the net for Atletico.

1 to 0!

Throughout the Stadio Olimpic, more than 70,000 Roma fans cheered in unison.

The stadium turned completely red.

Yang Hao stood in front of the away team's coach's box, and after seeing the team concede a goal first, he shook his head with a wry smile helplessly.

He'd told him this before.

On the 25th, the 24th round of La Liga will be played against Real Madrid, so Yang Hao has made a lot of rotation in this game.

Kaka, Messi and Andres Iniesta are not on.

Yang Hao lined up the combination of Villa, Drogba and Di Maria in front, David Silva, Mascherano and Baraja in midfield, and Antonio López, Ramos, Pepe and Zabaleta in the back.

Yang Hao also repeatedly told the players before the game that they must pay attention to Totti's running position and not be disturbed by him, but they were still seized of the opportunity, and the combination of Ramos and Pepe is still young in the end.

"Harvey! Reuben! ”

Yang Hao called out to Mascherano and Baraha, and only when they looked over did he signal them to hold steady.

The midfielder has to be in control, hold on to the ball, control the tempo and take his time.

……

The game resumes.

Atletico's midfielders responded immediately after hearing the manager's arrangement.

After kick-off, they did not rush to attack, but stabilized their position first.

Over the years, Atletico has matured and the team has developed a more stable system, and the players have built up confidence, confidence in themselves and their teammates.

Also, as long as you stabilize your rhythm and play normally, you will definitely be able to score goals and reverse your opponent's confidence.

This confidence allowed Atletico to settle their feet very quickly.

The continuous passing made it difficult for Roma to grab the ball.

Tonight, the tactics of the Red Wolves are somewhat similar to the 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Doni;

Defence: Toneto, Kivo, Mexes and Panucci;

Midfielders: Pizarro and De Rossi in the back, with Roberto Mancini, Perrotta and Tadej up front;

Forward: Totti.

Roberto Mancini and Tadei are largely separated from each other, which means that Roma's midfield is often dominated by Pizarro, De Rossi and Perrotta, who is more likely to target Mascherano.

In this case, Atletico's continuous passing made it difficult for Roma's midfielders to get the ball.

Just two minutes after the goal, David Silva ran out of space, latched on to Baraja's pass near the top of the box and sent a through ball before De Rossi could get into place.

Villa shook off Panucci and cut diagonally to the left side of the box to receive David Silva's pass.

The cooperation between the two was very good this time, and after Villa received the ball, he hit the goal with his left foot.

It's a pity that Villa didn't play well this time, and the shot went straight off the bottom line and hit the side netting.

But this attack showed everyone the strength of Atletico.

Conceding the ball first?

Afraid of what?

I can create chances in 2 minutes.

Atletico then continued to control the game steadily, controlling the ball and tempo through passing and cutting, and then slowly penetrating forward.

Roma also didn't have a good way to play this style of play against Atletico Madrid, and they could only foul.

But there are too many fouls, and it can't be done.

In the opening two minutes, Mexes was fouled while defending Drogba.

In the 7th minute, Panucci was fouled while defending Villa.

On 18 minutes, Pizarro was fouled while defending David Silva.

In less than 20 minutes, you have already got 3 yellow cards, aren't you afraid?

In the 21st minute, Antonio Lopes quickly inserted from the left side, received the ball and drove straight in, and transferred a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area.

Di Maria cut in at high speed, unloaded the ball with his left foot, and sent a low cross with the outside of his left foot.

Didier Drogba followed up in the middle, pushed in front of goal, and slid out slightly.

The football is almost grazing the bottom line of the column, just a little bit.

But Atletico's offensive is gradually picking up.

Just one minute later, it was Antonio Lopes who dribbled in on the left and created a corner.

Atletico's corner was saved by Roma goalkeeper Doni in the box, but Baraja followed up with a long-range shot that went just wide.

The continuous attacks made people break out in a cold sweat every time.

"Atletico are gradually on the offensive now."

"The strong control of the Sheets Army, from the 12th minute onwards, to the present, has been vividly reflected."

"In the face of a tidal attack like Atletico Madrid, Roma can only be forced to choose to defend and counterattack."

Spalletti said that no matter what team he is against, he will choose to press out.

"But now, he can't keep it."

……

When the team began to stabilize the midfield, control the ball and rhythm, Yang Hao basically didn't have to worry about anything.

He stood steadily on the sidelines watching his team's game and believed that with current trends, as long as Roma don't turn the tide, Atletico will be able to score, and not too far away.

It's an instinct he's developed over the years.

Sure enough, in the 29th minute, it was Antonio López who cut in on the left flank.

Villa pulled Panucci near the left touchline to create a gap for David Silva.

Antonio López crossed to the left side of the edge of the box, and David Silva stepped forward to get past De Rossi before bursting into the left side of the box and slotting a powerful left-footed shot.

The shot was a real hit and the ball flew out with great speed and landed directly into the far corner, hitting the inside of the upper middle of the right-hand post and bouncing into the Roma goal.

Goalkeeper Doni can't do anything about such a goal!

This is a dead end in the absolute sense of the word!

"The ball is in!!"

"David Silva!!"

"Atletico equalised!"

"A powerful volley from David Silva!"

"It's so exciting, after the Spanish teenager stopped the ball and burst into the left side of the penalty area, he got up directly without hesitation, so that Roma's defender Mexes didn't have time to react."

"1 to 1!"

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

After David Silva scored, he turned and rushed off the pitch in excitement, running wildly, his hands outstretched, like a gliding plane, ready to soar into the sky at any moment.

Yang Hao also kept applauding on the sidelines, shouting David Silva's name loudly to applaud the academy youngster's goal.

"Great, David!"

While David Silva was celebrating with his teammates, he heard the manager's shout, turned his head, clenched his fist at Yang Hao, and laughed.

"This kid is getting better and better." Juanma Lillo said.

Who's to say it isn't?

Yang Hao is also a little headache now.

Or rather, it should be called the trouble of happiness.

Andres Iniesta and Kaka are the best midfielders in the Atletico team, with veteran captain Baraja relegated to the second line.

David Silva and Luka Modric are now gradually picking up the burden.

No, Yang Hao arranged for David Silva to start this game, just to see that he has been in very good shape recently, so he wants to add a burden to him.

And Modric.

The Croatian is also getting more and more playing time.

But the midfield is different from the front.

The simplest point.

In the front court, Yang Hao dared to let Messi, let Di Maria, and Suarez let go of his hands and feet to rush and break through.

Not in the middle of the field.

Atletico Madrid is based on crossing, and the team's organization and attack rely on the midfield.

Therefore, Atletico's midfield is in need of experience.

This is also the reason why David Silva and Modric have reached this age and have not yet been able to provoke the beams.

To put it bluntly, even now, they are still relatively immature.

The backline is very experienced, and so is the midfield.

……

At halftime, Yang Hao gave David Silva a very high evaluation, and directly praised the little man as if he was about to take off, but he also pointed out some problems with David Silva in the first half.

For example, the yellow card he received for defending was unnecessary.

For the second half, Yang Hao's request is to follow the style of play in the first half, and then slowly follow Rome.

'Again, as I said before the game, Roma are still Italian teams, they are very good at counter-attacking and they have wide attackers like Roberto Mancini, so we have to pay attention to it.

"Defensively, watch out for Totti, and their back inserts."

"Harvey." Yang Hao pointed at Mascherano.

'Apart from conceding goals, you played well in the first half and continued in the second half to try to seal Roma.'

"And Ramos and Pepe." Yang Hao looked at the two central defenders again.

"You have to be careful, don't get distracted by Totti's movements, stay calm, watch their back-to-back insertions, understand?"

After getting the nods from Ramos and Pepe, Yang Hao clapped his hands vigorously.

"Alright, everyone, come on, try to overturn Rome tonight!"

"Good!!"

The players all responded in unison.

……

David Silva's pace is actually quite good.

Not as dominant as Cristiano Ronaldo, but a little faster than Andres Iniesta.

Yang Hao has actually been thinking about a question, that is, in Spain, if the opponent's defense line is pulled apart through two wings and a trident in the front, who can make good use of this rib space?

Harvey was too slow, and the back plug wasn't sharp enough.

Iniesta isn't too fast, and he can barely do it.

But both of these players have one characteristic, their offensive ability in the back is not particularly strong.

David Silva's pace often makes a difference.

That's why Yang Hao recruited David Silva as soon as he took over Spain.

David Silva has the pace, the technique and the ability to get back in, he plays well with Villa and Antonio López on the left and he runs very aggressively.

So far, the data with Atletico Madrid shows that David Silva is the longest distance in the whole team of Atletico Madrid.

can not only do a small one-two with Iniesta, Xavi and others, but also be able to attack forward, as well as speed and breakthrough, Yang Hao feels that David Silva will become a key to Spain's defense.

This has always been a big problem in Spain.

It's not enough to just have the ball.

Keep the ball in control, but you can't control the opponent.

It's like Yang Hao's previous life, in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, didn't Spain just control it and control itself to death?

At the end of the day, it's not the Spanish who are too late, it's that they lack an attacker like Andres Iniesta, David Silva, or Messi at the time, and they can't open the game.

Even, if Isco hadn't fallen at that time, letting Isco go up and dribble with the ball would have been very effective.

But unfortunately, Spain at that time only possessed the ball and did not break through.

Moreover, there are no attackers like Torres and Villa up front to suppress the opposition's defence.

The difference between having a center forward and not having a center is really huge.

It's like in this game, Drogba is in front, Mexes and Kiv don't even dare to move, cautious, as if facing a big enemy.

Looking at Roma on the other hand, there is only one Totti, and Atletico's two central defenders have a significantly greater range of movement.

Because neither Ramos nor Pepe are afraid of Totti in a single defense.

Of course, this is not without its problems.

The risk was that goal conceded in the first half, when it was clear that the centre-back was deflected and lost his position.

But as long as this problem is corrected, with the addition of Mascherano, Atletico Madrid's central midfield will defend Roma.

And the role of the center forward was quickly revealed.

In the 52nd minute, Atletico tried to send the ball into the penalty area.

Roma goalkeeper Doni stepped out, held the ball, and then drove a long ball to near the halfway line.

Ramos headed Totti's header over to Antonio López.

The latter took the ball forward again and passed it to Villa, who was about to cut inside and suddenly knocked back to the feet of David Silva on the left side of the box.

The Spaniard stopped the ball with his left foot, rubbed it lightly, and curled a diagonal pass.

In the penalty area, Drogba used his body to force away the defense of Mexes and Kiv, and met David Silva's diagonal pass at the edge of the small penalty area, and directly headed the header.

The ball was deflected off by Didier Drogba and into the Roma goal.

"The ball is in!!"

"2 to 1!"

"Atletico have completed the reversal!"

'Didier Drogba scored a brilliant header.

……

After conceding another goal and being reversed by Atletico Madrid, Roma began to be a little anxious.

But in the 59th minute, Pepe made a long pass and gave it directly to the front.

Roma goalkeeper Doni dropped the goal, but halfway through the rush found that the ball did not land in the penalty area.

Everyone had already rushed out, so Doni could only rush forward, rush out of the penalty area, jump up and head the ball, and push the ball back.

The ball was past the nearest Drogba, but it didn't have to be too far away, falling in front of David Silva behind Drogba, and the Spaniard quickly chased after it, met the flying football, stopped on his chest, glanced ahead, and hit it directly with his left foot.

After goalkeeper Doni landed, he ran back desperately.

But how can the speed of a person catch up with the ball?

By the time Doni returned to the edge of the six-yard box, David Silva's long-range shot had found the Roma goal.

"Scored a brace!!"

"David Silva scored a brace!"

The Spaniard rushed off the pitch excitedly, gliding all the way and cheering non-stop.

The other Atletico players also chased after him and hugged David Silva.

3 to 1!

Reversion!

David Silva's goal can be said to have almost killed Roma completely!

Even if Spalletti then made a series of substitutions, he was still unable to organize an effective attack.

In the end, Atletico Madrid reversed Roma 3-1 away thanks to David Silva's brace and Drogba's goal.

……

When Atletico came away from home with a 3-1 comeback, David Silva was greeted with rave reviews.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Hao spoke highly of David Silva's performance.

'I've always said he's one of the best players in Spain, but a lot of people don't believe me.

"Now, I'm very happy that David proved my vision and judgment with a match that belongs to him."

Yang Hao said David Silva is becoming an increasingly important player for the team, he has an unrivalled football talent, and he is now becoming more and more confident.

'But he still needs to improve and he has a lot of room for improvement.'

"He's going to be the best midfielder in the world!"

David Silva was shy about thanking the head coach for the compliment.

"Our boss often tells us that football is round, no one can win all games, but every game, every minute we play, we will give it our all!"

"This is Atletico football!"

David Silva said that he is very grateful to Yang Hao for his cultivation, guidance and trust.

After he was selected for the national team, major media around the world, including Marca, rushed to report, and David Silva entered the Atletico Madrid academy through the back door through Belleron's "connections", which was also cited as a beautiful talk.

But David Silva clarified this time, revealing that it wasn't the whole story.

"I was rejected by Real Madrid and was very disappointed, Atletico Madrid were reorganizing their academy, our boss and Parales were guarding outside the Real Madrid Sports City, and when he saw us come out, he asked Parales to give us a business card and invite us to Atletico Madrid for a trial."

"Of course, I'm also very grateful to Juan, who let me join Atletico directly, it was the best decision we ever made!"

David Silva has been playing more and more for Atletico this season, but he is still not a regular player.

The Spaniard says he has the patience to grow up in this squad.

"I still have a lot to learn, so I'm not in a hurry."

As for whether he is considering playing with other teams, David Silva said no.

"Our whole family moved to Madrid and we all got used to it and loved it!"

David Silva's father, who is still in his hometown, is now a councillor in a small city below Las Palmas, in charge of education, and is pushing for sports.

But David Silva's mother and sister have lived in Madrid for many years, and his father travels frequently between Madrid and the Canary Islands, and they have bought a house not far from Mahada Honda.

And now, David Silva's statement has undoubtedly made other teams that want to poach him cut off their minds.

……

When Atletico Madrid defeated Roma 3-1 away, the other Champions League games were also decided.

Valencia face Inter Milan away from home.

When Cambiasso and McCone twice took the lead for Inter, Valencia twice equalised.

In the end, it was a 2-2 draw away from Inter Milan.

Cooper was very disappointed with the result.

Since it was reported that the Bat Legion had been bought by an Abu Dhabi consortium from the Middle East, the team's morale has been exceptionally high.

All the players are also aware that once the takeover is completed, Valencia will be transformed from a La Liga team on the verge of bankruptcy into a quasi-giant team.

With the strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium and the determination it has shown, Valencia will sooner or later become a giant team on a par with the three giants of the Spanish Super League.

Therefore, the players are particularly combative.

Barcelona won 1-0 away against Liverpool thanks to a goal from Gudjohnsson.

Rijkaard's side are currently suffering from injuries, especially Thierry Henry, who said goodbye to the season early.

Real Madrid beat Arsenal 1-0 away.

Arsene Wenger worked hard for many years to build the new stadium for Arsenal, but when he returned for the first time after the new stadium was completed, he turned out to be the opponent's manager, which made Wenger and Arsenal fans quite embarrassed.

But the gunman's current loneliness is also obvious.

After losing Arsene Wenger, Arsenal have not even been able to retain the top four in the Premier League this season and are currently in eighth place.

This made the Gunners feel the role of Wenger from top to bottom.

Before, they kept scolding Wenger, every year they kept keeping fourth, every year they were in the Champions League round of 16, but now?

The top four are not guaranteed, and there is no hope of advancing to the round of 16 of the Champions League, is it considered to be a hammer?

From the current point of view, the best situation is Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid is not bad, and the situation of Barcelona and Valencia is not particularly optimistic.

Barcelona's main injury is too much, while Valencia is not very strong.

But how the two sides play depends on the second leg.

Because the match between Real Madrid and Arsenal was earlier than Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao watched the game with his assistants at that time.

Arsene Wenger is also holding back his energy to prepare for the city derby.

Real Madrid have also been affected by injuries this season.

Sicinho, for example, and David Beckham.

……

"Judging from the current situation, Wenger is definitely still playing 433, will Vieira play?"

Juanma Lillo was in the coach's office and raised a topic for discussion.

If Patrick Vieira is on, then Pirlo will be on the bench.

Essien's current role in Real Madrid's midfield is extraordinary, and he can provide energy to the Real Madrid midfield.

The Ghanaian's movement and coverage are the most indispensable for Real Madrid right now.

Especially after David Beckham's injury.

"From the current situation, against Vieira, the defense will be more solid, but the attack will be affected."

Ballack, Patrick Vieira and Essien, the midfield is solid, but the attacking organisation will be a big problem.

"I think it's a little bit more likely to go to Andrea Pirlo." Juanma Lillo guessed.

'Don't forget, Vieira hasn't been in great form this season.

At the end of the day, as you get older, it's hard to maintain your condition.

Especially a body-eating player like Patrick Vieira.

'Arsene Wenger started Vincent Kompany against Arsenal, but I guess he wouldn't have dared to take such a risk in the city derby.

'I heard that Arsene Wenger went to Rome that day.

"Spying on our military intelligence on the spot."

"But we had a lot of rotation in that game."

'I think the centre-backs should still be Cannavaro and Samuel.

Going around and around, Real Madrid's two most stable central defenders are Cannavaro and Samuel.

The shortcomings of Real Madrid's main double central defenders are obvious and not high enough.

The anti-height is not particularly bad, but it is relatively scary.

But the strength is stronger than them, can replace their position, and at the same time is relatively high central defender, it is really impossible to buy.

For example, Terry.

'If it's Andrea Pirlo, it has to be Ballack and Essien, and I think we can put more pressure on them in midfield.

"Judging from the information that can be obtained so far, Real Madrid must want to attack in this game."

"It was previously reported that Real Madrid signed Andrea Pirlo in order to snipe us in this derby."

"That's a big enough cost."

"Hah, who's to say it isn't? But we're also having a headache right now. ”

"yes, back in, we're dangerous, press up, they have a long ball like Andrea Pirlo, and a speed winger like Cristiano Ronaldo and Joaquín, and once we get beaten behind, we're very dangerous."

"So now, we have to put our minds together in advance and see how we're going to play in this game?"

Everyone talked about it and raised all kinds of situations and questions, but in the end they all focused on Yang Hao.

What to do?

There has never been a perfect tactic in the world.

Pressing up, for Atletico Madrid, is indeed better, because the possession area is closer to the opponent's goal, Messi, Kaka, Torres, Iniesta and others are more able to play a threat.

But Real Madrid will certainly put Atletico under pressure in midfield.

If the midfielder can't press and control the ball in their own half, the consequences will be dangerous if they make a mistake.

It depends on the manager's choice.

……

As a team sport, Yang Hao has increasingly discovered that when it comes to the strength level of Atletico Madrid, the most difficult thing is not to arrange the troops, but how to unify the minds of all players.

This kind of unity is not something that can be achieved by a few simple words, or after a long time together.

Because everyone has different views, values, and understanding of football, the opponents in each game are different, the opposing players are different, and each player thinks differently.

How to unify their minds is the most troublesome thing.

Atletico Madrid's match against Real Madrid was once again listed as a focus game by La Liga, broadcast live to the world.

As the signature competition of La Liga, the Madrid Derby is popular with fans all over the world.

Moreover, now it is about the ownership of this season's La Liga title, so both teams are also paying special attention.

After playing in Rome, Yang Hao returned to Madrid, and after consulting with the coaching staff, he immediately held a tactical meeting for the team.

At this time, Atletico Madrid can basically deduce Real Madrid's lineup through various news.

Goalkeepers: Casillas;

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Cannavaro, Samuel and Salgado;

Midfielders: Ballack, Andrea Pirlo and Essien;

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Joaquin.

Among them, after the serious injury of right wing-back Siciño, Salgado became the main candidate on the right side.

But the right wing-back is 31 years old.

From Yang Hao's away challenge to Roma, he arranged Villa to start, and guessed that in the city derby, Robben will start as a left winger and face Salgado directly.

Yang Hao is tantamount to telling everyone that Atletico Madrid is going to attack the right side of Real Madrid and completely blow up Salgado's side.

At the same time, Yang Hao also reminded everyone that in the first leg of the match at the Bernabeu Stadium, Atletico Madrid did not play well.

"That was our only defeat so far this season!"

Yang Hao told the players that he was very disappointed in that game, so he asked everyone to show a better mental outlook at home, and to kill Real Madrid in Calderón and win this victory!

"I would say that as long as we win this game, then we have a very good chance of winning La Liga this season!"

"And this will be our fifth consecutive season of La Liga titles, and we will surpass Barcelona and become the second team in La Liga history to win five consecutive titles."

"This has a special meaning for us and for Real Madrid!"

Afterwards, Yang Hao specially asked everyone to relive the first leg of the match between the two sides at the Bernabeu.

This is also Yang Hao's first defeat against Real Madrid since he coached Atletico Madrid.

In fact, the so-called undefeated does not mean much.

Because the unbeaten record will be broken sooner or later.

Yang Hao can't be unbeaten against Real Madrid forever.

But now, he wants to use this defeat to motivate the team, make them feel the humiliation of being beaten at the Bernabeu by Real Madrid, and also inspire their fighting spirit and desire to win.

Calderón's battle, Yang Hao is determined to win, and there is no room for loss!

After that, Yang Hao also communicated with the players one by one and told them their requirements.

The same goes for the team's targeted tactics

……

Ahead of the Madrid derby, Atletico Madrid welcomed a special guest of honor.

That is the owner of the Abu Dhabi consortium and a member of Abu Dhabi's royal family, Mansour.

The main reason why the Emirati powerful figure came to Spain was to visit Valencia, including the Mestania Stadium and the new stadium, and to hear about the planning of some projects.

By the way, he also met with the mayor of Valencia.

This time in Madrid, he also met with the Minister of Sports of the Spanish government to discuss the acquisition of Valencia.

It happened to be the Madrid city derby, so he came to Calderón Stadium accompanied by Emirates executives, Mubarak and other senior executives of the Abu Dhabi consortium.

On the day of the game, when Yang Hao led the team to Calderón, he received a notice from Cerezo and Little Hill, so he took the time to go to the office to meet Mansour and his party.

They had seen it when they were in the Middle East.

Mansour likes Yang Hao's coaching style, and this time he happened to encounter the Madrid derby, and he definitely couldn't miss it.

And this time he is also here to visit Atletico's new stadium.

After taking over Valencia, he will continue to work on the new stadium project, and he has already begun to hire a design firm to redesign the new stadium.

However, since the pile foundation of the stadium has been completed and the basement has begun to be built, the main structure can no longer be changed.

The capacity of the stadium is fine, and Mansour and others are considering starting with the exterior design.

He was full of praise for Atletico Madrid's new stadium and seemed particularly envious.

In Mansour's team, Yang Hao noticed a person.

Javier Subiratz.

Many people probably don't know him, but this one is a big name in Spanish football.

He was born and raised in Valencia, five kilometers northwest of Valencia, in a small city called Patna.

As a youth academy player for the Bats, midfielder Javier Subirac spent the prime of his career with Valencia, playing for the Bats throughout the 80s before switching to him until the twilight of his career.

After retiring in 92, he went directly to Valencia's youth training work, and once worked as a firefighting manager for Villarreal.

Since '97 he has been the sporting director of Valencia, where he has been a key factor in the development of Valencia's youth training, and he has also been the dominant player in Valencia's success over the years.

From '97 to '06, he built the pinnacle of Valencia with his own hands.

As a result, he is known as the best sporting director Valencia has ever seen.

But unfortunately, he did not have a good relationship with the management later, and he chose to leave.

Yang Hao didn't expect that Mubarak would invite him out of the mountain this time.

I have to say, it's a very good choice.

First of all, Subiratz is Valencia's own man, and he has re-emerged from the mountains and can effectively stabilize the morale of the army.

And he was a sports director before, so he is familiar with the road and is familiar with it.

Finally, Subirac is also very familiar with Spanish and European football and can make up for Mubarak's shortcomings to the fullest.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao also had to sigh, rich people are good.

Neither Mansour nor Mubarak are the kind of tyrants who wield checkbooks with impunity, on the contrary, they are calculated in every step.

……

Mansour's visit was just a pre-match episode.

Cerezo and Hill Jr. accompanied, Real Madrid President Florentino also came to the scene, plus the mayor and city government officials, making the stands of this Madrid derby become star-studded, with political and business celebrities gathered.

Yang Hao also discharged Atletico Madrid's strongest lineup in this game.

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech;

Defenders: Patrice Evra, Thiago Silva, Lucio and Alves;

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

Forwards: Arjen Robben, Fernando Torres and Lionel Messi.

"I've guessed your starting lineup for this game."

Before the game, when Yang Hao walked to the away team's coach's seat and shook hands with Wenger, the Frenchman said to Yang Hao with a smile.

"What a coincidence, I guessed yours too." Yang Hao smiled and fought back.

In fact, the starting lineups of the two are not difficult to guess.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid know each other well, and it is difficult to play any tricks.

And rookies like Gago and Gonzalo Higuain, Wenger is unlikely to start the city derby.

It's no longer about trusting young players, it's just dying.

At the moment, Atletico are still four points ahead of Real Madrid in the standings, and everyone feels that Real Madrid will do their best to beat Atletico on the road in this game.

Yang Hao also agrees with this speculation.

Arsene Wenger will definitely want to win.

But if you want to win, it doesn't mean you have to play against Atletico.

Therefore, Yang Hao's start seemed more cautious.

But what I didn't expect was that Wenger turned out to be too.

As soon as the game started, both sides were more cautious and cautious, and neither was very active in pressing in the frontcourt.

This makes the pace of the game seem a little slower.

It wasn't until the 2nd minute that Andres Iniesta's through ball was blown offside for Robben's sprint.

It wasn't until the 4th minute that Kaka's long-range shot ignited the passion of the scene slightly.

Real Madrid were quick to return the colours.

Ballack dribbled the ball down the middle and sent a through ball to the feet of Ibrahimovic in front.

The Swedish centre-forward turned and moved to the right after stopping the ball with his back to him.

Joaquin rushed to the right side of the penalty area with the ball and tried to cross diagonally to the back post to find Ronaldo.

The Portuguese slashed diagonally into the left-hand post with great speed to receive Joaquin's diagonal pass.

But at the critical moment, Cech abandoned the goal, took the first step to save the ball, and held it directly in his arms.

Ronaldo rushed up very quickly, but this time he returned in vain, and shook his head at Joaquin helplessly.

After joining Real Madrid, under the tutelage of Arsene Wenger, especially with the support of Joaquín and Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo's performance has become better and better, although it has not yet reached the point of Yang Hao's previous 07/08 season, but this season he is also neck and neck with Ibrahimovic and has become the most important scorer of Real Madrid.

Ibrahimovic receives the ball on one side and passes diagonally from both wings to the other side, which is also Real Madrid's best tactic.

Even, if Ronaldo received the ball just now, the opportunity is not very good, he will push back to the middle, Ibrahimovic has turned around and plugged in, usually in the area from the penalty point to the top of the arc, just to meet the pass and play directly.

But this coordination was directly cut off under Petr's attack.

Atletico also quickly returned to color.

In the 7th minute, Andres Iniesta received Kaka's cross and sent a through ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Robben used his speed to force a break through Salgado, slapped his horse to the ball, and then crossed to goal.

Torres' scramble was saved by Casillas.

It was also the first really dangerous shot on goal in the whole game.

Fernando Torres from Atletico Madrid!

Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid showed aggressive momentum from the beginning, and they did not surprise everyone, grabbing the right side of Real Madrid and playing hard.

All signs look like they are going to completely blow up the right side of Real Madrid.

But Wenger frowned.

Is this really Yang Hao's tactic tonight?

Shouldn't it?

A weakness that everyone knows, will Arsene Wenger not pay attention to?

Yang Hao didn't expect it?

Arsene Wenger was not convinced.

Yang Hao's ability to do this?

Wrong!

He must have a backhand.

Arsene Wenger had a sense of foreboding.

I am the most handsome and hard-working model worker in our production team, and I have insisted on two shifts for so long, and I have the cheekiness to ask for a monthly pass! Bye, thanks, blah!!
