Atletico conquered the world!

When Atletico Madrid won the Club World Cup again at RB Tokyo, the Spanish newspaper Marca, far away in Madrid, reported the match with a front-page headline and spoke highly of Atletico.

Another Grand Slam!

In the history of Spanish football, there have only been 2 Grand Slams, both from Atletico Madrid!

Moreover, all of them are Atletico Madrid under the coaching of Yang Hao!

Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid can be said to have reached a new peak.

As the best player in the Club World Cup, Kaka was very eye-catching, leading the Sheets Army to completely destroy Boca Juniors' defence in Yokohama with a devastating momentum.

Everyone can also clearly see that the cooperation between Kaka and Messi is becoming more and more skillful and excellent.

The connection and interaction between the two superstars, especially their small interplay between them, is a headache for all defenders.

Boca Juniors coach Russo paid tribute to Atletico Madrid in an interview.

'They have the best managers in the world, the best players and play the best football in the world.

"I have no doubt that they have the ability to settle the game at any time."

"That's the biggest gap between us and Atletico."

According to Marca, there is no more genuine compliment than a heartfelt admiration from an opponent.

As Atletico's number one superstar, Kaka's performance is still satisfying.

According to Marca, many fans believe that Kaka has changed.

The Kaka that has been so fast-paced at every turn of the past two years seems to be gone, replaced by a more relaxed and elegant one, but also more stealthy and deadly.

"In fact, Kaka's transformation came from the persuasion of head coach Yang Hao."

"Yang Hao has always felt that the past style of play based on speed and speed change was very damaging to Kaka's body, so he hoped that Kaka would change his technical characteristics and reduce his dependence on long-distance running, especially the frontal attack on the defensive line."

"If Kaka in the past was a sharp sword, then the current Kaka is wearing a scabbard, more restrained, more calm, and easy not to show his edge, but once he shows his sword, he will make the opponent's blood splash on the spot."

Marca also revealed one point, that is, this cooperation between Kaka and Messi.

"It's not a complete state."

"Kaka and Messi, then Alves, Iniesta in the middle, Drogba and Torres in front, Atletico Madrid's entire midfield will be closely around Kaka, Messi and Iniesta, these three players to plan the attack."

"From the current point of view, Yang Hao's transformation of Atletico Madrid has continued this season."

"Everyone only sees Atletico's backline becoming unstable and sees the auspicious three treasures with frequent mistakes, but they probably haven't thought about it a little, is Atletico more and more capable of attacking now?"

"Do they come up with a big score at every turn?"

"If you think so, that's right!"

"According to our insiders at Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao wants Atletico to further play more attacking and threatening attacking football."

……

In addition to Marca, other major media outlets have also written articles to highly praise Atletico's feat.

The French football magazine also published an article for the first time, congratulating Kaka, who had just won the Ballon d'Or, for winning the Club World Cup again.

Brazil's São Paulo newspaper also wrote an article that spoke highly of Kaka's performance, and also congratulated Kaka on becoming a father, hoping that Kaka could have a perfect ending in 2007.

That's World Footballer of the Year!

When Atletico Madrid returned to Spain from RB, the British World Football Magazine also made a high-profile selection.

Kaka won the World Football Player of the Year award by more than half of the total.

After winning the Rookie of the Year award last year, Messi rushed to second place this year, and Ronaldo finished third.

The entire ranking is almost the same as the European Golden Globe Awards.

This also proves the recognition of the Golden Globe Awards.

It is worth mentioning that in the selection of the best coach of the year, Ferguson defeated Yang Hao by a narrow margin of 0.8%.

This is outrageous.

Yang Hao really wanted to lie down directly.

Why is this bad old man?

But when you think of it, it's a British football magazine......

Well, understood.

Ferguson also made a special call to Yang Hao, and he finally had something to do and beat Yang Hao's talk.

For this reason, he also specially and generously invited Yang Hao to Manchester for a drink.

"I'm in for a treat!"

Yang Hao could only hehe about this, "I seem to appreciate you very much, get out!" ”

Amid Ferguson's laughter, Yang Hao hung up the phone.

After winning World Football Player of the Year again, Kaka's 2007 Grand Slam was the last and most important one.

……

When Yang Hao led the team back to Madrid to prepare for the game, Kaka, Messi and Toni Kroos, accompanied by club president Cerezo and general manager Little Hill, together with FIFA President Blatter and others, took a special plane from Tokyo to Zurich.

After the FIFA Club World Cup final on the 16th, the FIFA Awards Conference was held in the Zurich Opera House in Switzerland on the evening of the 17th.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who has just returned from RB, gave a speech summarizing the various competitions of the past year, as well as looking forward to the future of 2008.

The first awards were given to Atletico Madrid's Toni Kroos and Villarreal's Sergio Aguero.

The two won the Ballon d'Or at the World Junior Championships and the Ballon d'Or at the World Junior Championships respectively.

Then came the best player of the Beach Soccer World Cup, with Brazil's Blue taking the award.

Barcelona won the Fair Play award.

That's a bit of a statement.

Barcelona won the award because they gave a free advertising of their jerseys to UNICEF and pledged to donate $7.5 million over the next five years to UNICEF's AIDS programme.

Everyone knows that this is actually a roundabout policy adopted by Barcelona to save the country in order to finally achieve commercialization.

But no matter how you look at it, this is a charity that is worth encouraging.

Therefore, FIFA awarded the annual fair play award to Barcelona.

This year's FIFA President's Award was presented to Pele.

And the final individual award of the year, Miss World Football, went to Brazil's Marta.

The World Footballer of the Year was awarded to Atletico Madrid's Kaka.

Blatter personally announced Kaka's election, and Pele, who had just received the FIFA President's Award, presented Kaka with the award himself.

Kaka excitedly took the gold cup from Bailey's hand, and he hugged the senior hard.

Having won the World Footballer of the Year for three years in a row, Kaka said he is very, very excited now.

"Thank God for this great honor, and I must share it with all my friends, because I can't do anything in my life alone."

"I want to share it with my wife, my family, and God!"

After Kaka said these words emotionally, the audience applauded thunderously.

At this moment, it is clear to all of us that we are witnessing a new piece of history.

When Kaka won the World Footballer of the Year, he had already surpassed Zidane, Ronaldo and other predecessors in honor and became the first person in world football.

Of course, he can't compare with these seniors, let alone with the king-level predecessors like Maradona and Pele, and Kaka has a very clear understanding of this.

So he was very humble and repeatedly emphasized that he still had a lot to learn.

"Here I have to thank Atletico Madrid, everyone at the club, all my teammates, Messi ......"

When Kaka stretched out his hand to introduce Messi, the audience applauded again.

"I'm sure, Leo, you'll be able to get here soon, as long as you keep trying, keep it up!"

The applause at the scene was even more enthusiastic.

The top three tonight are Kaka, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, exactly the same as the Ballon d'Or.

"I would especially like to thank our manager, I have said it many times, but I have to say it again, boss, without you, there would be no Kaka today, I thank you very much!"

Kaka even choked up a little at the end.

"When I left Brazil, I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to stand here, even three times."

"Ronaldo is a very good friend of mine and a senior I respect very much, he has always encouraged me, I am still far from reaching his heights, I will continue to work hard."

"I would also like to give a special thanks to our Atletico fans, really, you are the best and best fans I have ever met, and I will continue to fight for you!"

"Finally, thank God for giving me everything!"

Kaka bowed deeply at the end and as he stepped off the podium, he was greeted by a warm hug from Messi and a hug from Toni Kroos, all of whom had won a number of awards, and all were from Atletico.

The media reporters at the scene also specially invited the three of them to take a group photo.

……

"Excuse me, Mr. Yang, how do you feel now?"

At the Mahada Hongda training base in Madrid, Parales came to Yang Hao very gossip and asked with a smile.

Yang Hao had already calmed down, and looked at Parales with a smile, "I want to hit you!" ”

Everyone around was amused.

In fact, not only Yang Hao, but everyone is very touched.

"Remember? Yang, when you brought Kaka back, I thought this kid was very thin, although he was quite tall, he was really thin, as thin as a bamboo pole. ”

Juanma Lillo couldn't help but think back to the past, and when he saw that everyone around him was also smiling, he hurriedly said, "Really, don't believe you ask them, Kaka was really too thin at that time, the unhealthy kind of thinness, there was no flesh on his face, and his cheeks were a little sunken. ”

"It's true that Kaka was really skinny at the time."

"Kakabi is too handsome now, and I can't see my appearance at that time."

"The physical confrontation is also a mess, and the foot skills are not particularly good, and we all think, oh, can this kid play?"

"Yes, yes, I still remember that at that time, many people were wondering, is Kaka okay?"

"I remember that at that time, it seemed that only Yang had always thought that Kaka could kick out."

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Yang Hao again.

In fact, the deeper they get along, the more they discover what makes Yang Hao special.

Yang Hao's body seems to have a very mysterious power, always creating surprises and accidents.

Not only Kaka, but also Messi, Thiago Silva, Drogba, Patrice Evra......

Too much.

Especially like Messi.

Back then, who would have thought that Messi could kick out?

Everyone didn't think there was a need to take the risk, but what happened?

"And Patrice Evra, this kid played as a striker, playing in the third division in Italy? I forgot the specifics, it was a very low level anyway, and then he came to our club, he thought he was here to play as a striker, and what happened? ”

Juanma Lillo still pointed at Yang Hao with a look of resentment, "He said that Patrice Evra should play at left wing-back. ”

"I was also confused, is there such a thing?"

"He didn't listen, he had to let Evra play as a defender, and let me be this bad guy, then I was a part-time worker, so I could only listen to him, so you are all familiar with it, Evra kept scolding me on the pitch, scolding me so much that I was going crazy."

"But I didn't expect that the more this kid scolded, the better he behaved, and when he didn't scold later, he collapsed, but slowly adjusted, and he is now familiar with Evra."

Everyone thought it was funny, but they could all imagine that the whole process was actually quite long.

That's the difference between an experience and a story.

"Yang, what do you usually rely on to scout players?" Pep Guardiola asked with interest.

Everyone else was curious.

Now, the whole world is full of praise for Yang Hao's vision of selecting players, and they are also very curious, how did he choose people?

Yang Hao already knew how to deal with it.

"Feeling."

"Feelings?"

"yes, it's the feeling when you watch him play."

"For example?"

"Messi, his dribbling is really good, he looks different from the children around him, others can't grab his ball at all, and then I was thinking, this kid is so talented, if he still plays like this in the senior team, it's against the sky!"

Everyone obviously felt a bit far-fetched.

"And Kaka, don't look at him thin, but he's fast, and the feeling when he sprints fast with the ball is very special, every step is on that point, and he adjusts very calmly with big strides and small broken steps, which is too rare for this kind of player."

Everyone was somewhat convinced.

"But I remember that you were also very optimistic about Cristiano Ronaldo." Parrales added, "But the current Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously not the same as the Cristiano Ronaldo of the past, what do you think? ”

"It's hard to say, if he hadn't gone to the Premier League and came to Atletico, I think he would have played more concisely, but with better technique at his feet, I wouldn't have worked on his body, I would have tried to put him in some balance both physically and technically, plus his sprinting speed and explosiveness, and his sense of movement."

Speaking of this, Yang Hao grinned, "Don't you think that Ronaldo, Torres/Drogba, Messi, and then behind him are Iniesta and Kaka, this offensive combination is very rebellious?" ”

Everyone laughed at first, but after careful consideration, it actually made sense.

Kaka is good at long-distance advancement, Messi is almost invincible in the 30-meter area, both of these are able to pass, control and shoot, plus Ronaldo's physical fitness and speed, as well as running nose, as well as Torres and Drogba.

Then Atletico's attack is almost heavenly.

However, it is all in the beautiful vision.

The current Ronaldo is destined to miss Atletico Madrid.

Everyone still heard it in a fog, and they always felt that Yang Hao didn't make it clear what was going on, but it seemed that he had made it clear, but he didn't understand it.

Anyway, they all seem to understand whether they understand or not, and they can only be unaware.

……

When Atletico Madrid played the final of the Club World Cup at RB, La Liga played the round of 16.

Barcelona beat Valencia 3-2 away thanks to goals from Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry.

In this kind of strong dialogue, the strength of the Bat Legion is still relatively weak.

Carlo Ancelotti has actually adjusted very well, and the whole game was played by Mourinho's team.

But it can't be helped.

If it was against Rijkaard's Barcelona, then Ancelotti would definitely win, but unfortunately, he ran into Mourinho's Barcelona, and Valencia was disarmed after continuous defensive counterattacks.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, beat Osasuna 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Yaya Toure.

With this victory, Real Madrid overtook Atletico Madrid in the standings.

Atletico Madrid played the 16th round of La Liga one day after returning from RB to La Liga.

Traveling long distances, without giving people a chance to breathe, is indeed very torturous.

Kaka, Lionel Messi and Toni Kroos returned from Zurich, Switzerland, and were unavailable for this game.

In the end, Atletico drew 0-0 away at Huelva.

It was Atletico's second draw of the season.

After 16 rounds, Atletico Madrid has an unbeaten record of 13 wins and 2 draws, with 41 points.

Real Madrid continues to lead the La Liga standings with 42 points.

Arsene Wenger's side have been in excellent form this season.

But Atletico have one less game to play.

……

In the 17th round of La Liga, the most eye-catching matches on the first matchday were Valencia and Atletico Madrid.

The Bats defeated Zaragoza 2-1 away to Carlo Ancelotti's side with a narrow victory.

Atletico beat Espanyol 2-1 at home.

It was also a narrow victory.

Prior to this game, Atletico had played the 16th round of play-up matches on Wednesday and then the 17th round on Saturday, and the team's overall form was not ideal.

Not only the other players, but even Kaka and Messi did not put in a good performance.

But Messi still contributed one goal, the other from Drogba.

Ahead of the game, Kaka, Lionel Messi and Toni Kroos were all given another chance to show off the awards they received from Zurich, to the cheers of the Atletico fans.

Everyone can see that Atletico is full of talent right now.

Lionel Messi has been hailed as the man with the best chance of winning the next World Footballer of the Year and Ballon d'Or, and Toni Kroos has also impressed with his impressive performance at the World Junior Championships.

In this context, Atletico will continue to be very competitive in the coming years.

The second day of the 17th round was held at Camp Nou.

Jose Mourinho against Arsene Wenger, Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry, Sato'o and Xavi against Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Joaquin, Yaya Toure, Essien and Andrea Pirlo......

Just ask, how about such a national derby?

Almost the whole world is watching, and countless fans are looking forward to it.

Nearly 100,000 fans took to the Camp Nou stadium to watch the game live.

As a result, Jose Mourinho's side lost 1-0 at home to Real Madrid.

Arsene Wenger beat Barcelona 1-0 thanks to Yaya Toure's 35th-minute goal.

In a way, it wasn't a great game at all.

Jose Mourinho is the main defender, and Arsene Wenger is also playing cautiously.

Obviously, Real Madrid is now leading the La Liga standings, but Atletico Madrid has one less game, so Wenger is very careful, for fear of accidentally capsizing the boat and being overtaken by Atletico Madrid again.

And what about Mourinho?

They may not be able to play Real Madrid in attack, so he adopts 4231 defensive tactics.

It is conceivable that under the mentality of the head coaches of the two teams, the game is star-studded, more intense, but not exciting.

In the end, Real Madrid won 1-0.

After the 18th round of play, La Liga will be suspended for the Christmas holidays.

But before that, the Spaniards finally announced that the consortium from Russia had officially completed the acquisition of the Spaniards.

Usmanov did not intervene, but Farhad Mohiri took over the presidency of Espanyol and formally formed a new management team for the club, with the handover to take place after the Christmas holidays.

From the current point of view, it is basically impossible to catch up with the winter break transfer.

However, the Spaniards have a good season and are currently 8th in La Liga, with no danger of relegation.

Farhad Moshiri said that the acquisition of Espanyol is important for long-term operation and development, and will strictly abide by the financial policy of La Liga and adopt a more pragmatic and sustainable business strategy.

At the end of the day, they don't spend a lot of money.

This is also clearly not in line with the style of Farhad Mohiri and Usmanov.

For these investors, every penny they invest is calculated with interests.

This is true of the Abu Dhabi consortium.

As for those who keep saying true love and saying that they are fans, just listen to it, it's basically good.

But there is an interesting point that Fahad Moshiri said he will follow the strategy of La Liga and improve the training base and stadium of Espanyol.

At present, La Liga's financial policy is not to include investment in areas such as youth training and infrastructure.

In other words, the renovation and new construction of facilities such as youth training, stadiums and training bases will not be counted in the financial policy, which is tantamount to encouraging major teams to increase investment in youth training and infrastructure.

After all, these are investments that do not have any effect in the short term, and only long-term operation can benefit.

After the first six months or so, especially after the foreshadowing of the Abu Dhabi consortium, Spanish fans generally have little feeling about the acquisition from the Russian consortium.

Or should I say, a little numb.

In fact, some Spaniard fans are not very happy with the reluctance of the Russian super-rich to invest more.

After all, they were all counting on being able to turn into a strong team overnight like Valencia.

But now, it seems, the wish has been shattered.

……

Before the start of the Christmas holidays, Atletico Madrid held a huge Christmas dinner.

It's also an annual routine.

Before the dinner, the players actively participated in the community activities organized by the club.

After the dinner, the team was temporarily disbanded and the Christmas holidays began, and the players went home for the holidays.

But this year is not quite the same as before.

'08 was the European Cup, and the schedules of the major leagues had to be tightened.

So, the '08 schedule starts on January 2, the second leg of the 4th round of the Copa del Rey.

Due to the tight schedule, this year's trip to the Middle East was forced to be suspended.

The Hill Cup, which has just been held once, can only be cancelled this year.

There's no way around it.

If Atletico Madrid rushes to the Middle East, it doesn't matter whether the training camp is good or not, the players go back and forth, and it will also affect the overall state of the team, which will outweigh the losses.

With Atletico Madrid's current financial resources, it is really not enough to fly to the Middle East for two or three million euros.

Yang Hao is still alone this year, and was invited to the farm by Little Hill to spend Christmas together.

Blake Lively actually wanted to stay with him for the holidays, but her parents were on the phone, so Yang Hao persuaded her to go back to the United States to spend the holidays with her.

So, I can only live alone.

Fortunately, this time it was only three or four days, and it passed with a paralysis at home.

After Christmas, Atletico will re-train.

After entering 2008, it was the first race.

The second leg of the fourth round of the Spanish Copa del Rey will host Granada.

Since Atletico moved into the Emirates Stadium, almost every game has been full, with attendance close to 100 per cent.

Only this Copa del Rey match.

It should be said that this is the first time since Atletico Madrid moved to a new stadium this season that the home stadium has not been full, and it is still a lot empty.

On the one hand, because of the Christmas holidays, on the other hand, Atletico fans are not very interested in the first few games of the Copa del Rey, and Granada is not a strong team.

Fans can also predict that Atletico Madrid is basically on the bench and young players, and it is basically impossible to be a star.

Even so, the Emirates Stadium still has more than 50,000 fans.

This is also somewhat due to the fact that Atletico Madrid discounted the tickets.

Of the 76,500 seats, more than 50,000 people were seated, which is actually a very good attendance rate.

The other match that took place at the same time, Real Madrid's match at the Bernabeu, had a total of 30,000 fans.

At the Camp Nou in Barcelona, the number of fans in attendance was less than 30,000.

So, to some extent, Atletico's attendance is already very high.

All three of them beat their opponents at home, with Atletico Madrid 2-0 and goalscorers Luis Suarez and Angel Di Maria.

Barcelona also made the substitutes, winning 2-1 at home to Alcoano.

Real Madrid also had a score of 2-1 against Alcante.

After advancing to the round of 16, Atletico's opponent is Valladolid.

……

At the weekend, the 18th round of La Liga.

Barcelona beat Real Mallorca 2-0 away thanks to goals from Marcos and Samuel Eto'o.

However, Villarreal suffered a 3-0 defeat away to Espanyol in their first La Liga game in 2008.

The Spaniards seemed to be in high spirits after being acquired.

In addition, Raul Tamudo's recent form has been excellent, scoring a brace in this game.

In a post-match interview with the media, Raul Tamudo publicly stated that he would like to be called up from the national team.

Obviously, he wants to be able to play in the European Championships.

Atletico Madrid visited the Riazor Stadium that night.

Didier Deschamps' side are very well prepared and do not intend to give Atletico any chances.

From the first minute of the game, Super Laco put on a tight defensive posture at home.

Judging from the performance this season, Didier Deschamps' team is also aiming to break into the top four, so it is now clear that they will fight Atletico by defending and counterattacking.

Therefore, they don't care how Atletico control the ball in their own half, but as soon as they enter Deportivo LaCoruna's half, they begin to chase and intercept, and the defense is also quite tight.

This style of play is a big headache for Atletico.

On several occasions, attempts were made to create chances through the individual qualities of the likes of Kaka, Messi and Arjen Robben, but it was either goalkeeper Lloris who showed great courage or the double centre-back duo of Mexes and Juan was solid.

Super Laco has made Atletico Madrid return again and again.

The first 40 minutes of the game were all spent in this tense and intense war of attrition.

It wasn't until the 42nd minute that when Atletico Madrid continued to organize the attack with the ball on the right side, Alves suddenly transferred a cross to the left side.

Patrice Evra stopped the ball on the left, attacked down the left and crossed to the back post.

Torres shook off Mex, rushed to the right-hand post and headed home to open the scoring for Atletico!

At the critical moment, the prince of Atletico played a key role!

Torres' goal completely disrupted Deschamps' plans and deployment.

After the start of the second half, Deportivo La Coruna had to resort to attacking tactics in the hope of seizing their chances and trying to equalise.

But in the 52nd minute, Laco didn't take the opportunity to break through the defense of Jixiang Sanbao, and Neuer used a long pass to send the ball directly to the feet of Messi in front.

After stopping the ball and connecting the opponent's two defenders, the Argentine burst into the right side of the penalty area and scored with a low shot from close range, making it another goal for Atletico Madrid, 2-0!

The score was maintained until the end of the game.

Atletico beat Super Laco 2-0 at the Stadio Riazol.

When Deschamps shook hands with Yang Hao after the game, he was very speechless about the result.

"We've actually tried our best, but we still haven't been able to hold it, and you really have too many points of attack."

The first goal seemed to play a role as Patrice Evra's dribbling came into play, but the key was Alves' deflection.

That transfer ball was beautifully given and just right.

In addition to Messi's successive two goals, Neuer's long pass was also crucial.

"Aren't they all said to be auspicious and auspicious? How did they all play well when they met us? Deschamps smiled wryly.

Yang Hao laughed, "Our back line is a bit of a nerve knife now, and it doesn't work from time to time."

Deschamps also laughed, but the reason, in fact, he still guessed a little.

Van Nistelrooy was not very effective in this counter-attacking tactic.

Diego and Pienal are still brave, Valencia is very sharp on the right, and Ruud van Nistelrooy is a little less than it could be.

The Dutch centre-forward's greatest threat is in the box, and when he is out of the box, his threat is greatly reduced.

"I'm going to sign Benzema for Lyon, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, a little strange.

You can sign it, and ask me what I am doing?

Deschamps smiled, "Don't everyone say that you have a good eye?" What do you think of Benzema? ”

Yang Hao couldn't cry or laugh, and reminded: "We are opponents." ”

"It's over." Deschamps replied with confidence.

I have to say that this guy really has a French complex.

So far, several French players have been brought in, and they also want to bring in Benzema.

Benzema's kid must be very good, even if he hasn't fully kicked out yet, but the potential talent is not to be said, Deschamps is sure to convince that vampire in Lyon?

Besides, really convinced, Deportivo is willing to pay this money?

"If you want to buy it, then I will definitely support it." Yang Hao said with a smile.

But I'm not happy to ask me to pay for it.

We have Suarez at home, what to buy Benzema?

It's so expensive!

The day after Atletico Madrid's Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid beat Zaragoza 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.

……

Three days later, the first leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16 knockout round.

Atletico beat Valladolid 1-0 at home thanks to Suarez's goal.

In this game, the Emirates Stadium was once again full of fans.

But this time the Copa del Rey is an upset.

First up was Real Madrid, who lost 2-1 away to Real Mallorca.

Aragonés' team still played quite well in the cup, and with a solid defense and quick counter-attacks, it was still very lethal to Real Madrid.

Barcelona faced Sevilla away from home and were equalised by Sevilla when Thierry Henry scored first.

In the end, the two sides shook hands 1-1.

Valencia, on the other hand, narrowly beat Real Betis 2-1 away.

Villarreal suffered a shock 1-0 defeat away to Huelva.

……

At the weekend, he returned to La Liga and ushered in the 19th round.

Barcelona beat Murcia 4-0 at home.

Samuel Eto'o scored twice, while Thierry Henry and Diego Milito scored a goal each.

Jose Mourinho smiled like something after the game, praising the players one after another, from Thierry Henry to Diego Milito to Samuel Eto'o to Ronaldinho.

The Portuguese madman has always said that this was the best game of the season for Barca.

Sevilla lost 2-0 away to Athletic Bilbao.

The intensity of this kind of competition is really life-threatening.

Manuel Pellegrini's Villarreal host Didier Deschamps' Super Laco.

As a result, after falling behind three times, Villarreal equalized three times, and finally relied on Aguero's kick in the 90th minute to narrowly beat Super Laco 4-3 at home.

Sergio Aguero scored twice!

Real Madrid defeated Levante 2-0 away with Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.

The Portuguese have had a big explosion this season.

……

Madrid, Emirates Stadium.

Atletico host Valencia.

When substitute Baraja sent that through ball to the feet of Torres in the box in the 84th minute, the Atletico captain, wearing the captain's armband, fired a furious shot from the right side of the penalty spot past former team-mate Petr Cech.

At that moment, the passion that had been pent up for more than 80 minutes at the Emirates Stadium was instantly exploded.

More than 70,000 Atletico Madrid fans rushed out of their seats in a frenzy, cheering and shouting hoarsely, venting their pent-up passions, and at the same time applauding Torres and Baraja, who rushed to the sidelines to celebrate in the stadium.

The 32-year-old veteran captain came on the pitch and assisted the goal of the young captain Fernando Torres.

This scene made the Atletico fans in the stands very excited, and at the same time, Yang Hao on the sidelines was very touched.

Once upon a time, he was still persuading Balaha to stay, who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, Balaha was already old.

But it's always old, and once it's on the field, Baraha's role is still reflected.

Before this match, Kaka was injured in training, so Yang Hao didn't let him go.

Messi did go up, but was closely guarded by Valencia.

Didier Drogba has been sent to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Carlo Ancelotti's transformation of Valencia is gradually showing results.

In this game, the strategy they adopted was very Italian.

This is also the style of Ancelotti's coaching.

His team can attack and survive, it depends on what the opponent is.

Away to Atletico Madrid, Ancelotti took a decisive move, and really let him stay for more than 80 minutes.

If it hadn't been for the lethal through ball from substitute Baraja, Ancelotti might have been able to go back.

Just sold Lucio, Cech, Antonio López and Villa to Valencia, if this game can't be won, according to the feedback of readers in the previous life, Yang Hao will not only be drowned in the saliva of reading, but also have to subscribe.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the old captain went berserk.

This also made Yang Hao exhale heavily.

La Liga is getting harder and harder now!

And when the game continued, in the 89th minute, Di Maria sent a cross from the left, Messi stopped the ball and slipped past Albelda, curled the ball with his left foot, and when he tried to get to the left side of the goal, Cech flew to save.

The Czech goalkeeper is clearly well aware of Messi's threat.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Valencia 1-0 at home thanks to Torres' goal.

Yang Hao walked to the away team's coach's seat as soon as possible after the game, and saw Ancelotti's unconvinced, but helpless old face, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

The joy of winning came up immediately.

"You should have snickered, if it wasn't for Cech and Lucio, if it wasn't for the fitness we've been working on lately and adjusting our form, you'd have been going to walk out crying tonight."

Every year during the winter break, Atletico will strengthen their fitness and prepare for the next Champions League and the second half.

This will inevitably affect the team's form.

This season, Yang Hao has decided to use young players in the Copa del Rey, after all, Drogba will not return until early February at the earliest.

Yang Hao wants to rotate Suarez with Torres.

There is also a midfield, and the rotation needs to be increased.

"Next time we won't keep it!" Ancelotti said confidently.

The implication is that the next time we meet, he will play against Atletico Madrid.

And the next time it's at the Mestalla Stadium.

"Then I'll wait." Yang Hao also replied defiantly.

Back in the home team's coach's box, Yang Hao hugged the Atletico players who walked off the pitch one by one.

But his mind had actually flown out of the Emirates Stadium.

Tomorrow, at La Liga's headquarters in the heart of Madrid, that world-renowned bid will officially sound the charge.

Actually, the recent update is not very stable, and I don't dare to be cheeky to ask you for a monthly pass, but ...... Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy a few! Bye-hey, bye-thanks!
