While the world is still basking in the shock of Atletico's 59-game unbeaten run, the Sheets simply don't have time to stop and enjoy.

Three days later, they welcomed the second leg of the Champions League last-16 knockout round at the Emirates Stadium.

Losing 1-0 at home in the first leg, Schalke 04 put on a desperate posture in the second leg.

The German team played against Atletico Madrid at the beginning, and it was an opening attack.

Mirko Slomka started by asking the whole team to press up and play Atletico Madrid.

Less than two minutes into the game, Asamoah sent in a pass that Kuranyi fired from distance and did not threaten his former team-mate Manuel Neuer at all.

Just 1 minute later, Messi broke through with the ball on the right side and sent a through pass.

Torres pulled up to the right to receive the ball, stopped the ball to attract the attention of the defence, and then passed back from the right to the middle.

Messi's shot from behind went wide.

This made Yang Hao laugh from the sidelines.

Messi, who made mistakes, is more affectionate and always feels more normal.

After all, it's only 20 years old.

A player of this age, no matter how talented and talented he is, will not be stable.

Unless, he's not a human being.

The two sides are attacking each other back and forth.

Schalke 04's biggest threat came in the eighth minute when Altentop's long-range effort forced Neuer to make a beautiful one-handed save to lift the ball over the crossbar in the eighth minute.

I don't know if it's because of his old club, Neuer looks a lot more honest tonight.

And in the 12th minute, Atletico Madrid completed a beautiful combination in the midfield.

Arjen Robben dribbled past Raphinha on the left and crossed to the middle for Torres.

The Atletico captain knocks the ball back with his back.

David Silva flicked the outside of his right foot on the edge of the box, got rid of a defender, and sent a through ball behind him, which Kaka cut in at high speed and fired a low right-footed shot into the box.

1 to 0!

By this moment, the game had basically been decided.

Towards the end of the first half, Torres pulled out of the outside of the penalty area, received the ball and distributed it to Messi on the right side.

The Argentine once again burst with the ball, picked up a pass with his right foot on the right side of the penalty area to the middle, Torres took advantage of the inertia of the back insertion, jumped high, and headed the goal, 2-0!

After the rematch in the second half, just 4 minutes, Messi made another contribution, still on the right side with the ball strong, cut inside after getting rid of the defender, and passed diagonally with his left foot to the back point, Robben inserted the cushion shot, and broke the goal of Schalke 04 again.

3 to 0!

Slomka had to make a quick substitution.

As the commentator said, this game once again proved one thing: don't play against Atletico!

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Schalke 04 3-0 at home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League with an aggregate score of 4-0.

……

After Atletico Madrid successfully qualified, the results of other matches in the last 16 of the Champions League have also been released.

Barcelona defeated Celtic in the Soviet Super League with an aggregate score of 4-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Sevilla FC beat Turkey's Fenerbahce 3-1 on aggregate.

Real Madrid defeated Roma 2-1 and 4-2 on aggregate to advance to the quarterfinals.

Interestingly, Real Madrid have also been running into Roma in recent years.

What's even more interesting is that with Liverpool beating AC Milan 2-0 away, the Reds also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

So much so that there is a very paradoxical situation in the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

4 La Liga, 3 Premier League and 1 Serie A.

The Bundesliga was wiped out.

Bayern Munich's failure to qualify for the Champions League has led to a serious lack of competitiveness in the Champions League for Bundesliga teams.

This also made the subsequent draw for the Champions League quarterfinals full of suspense.

In the end, the four teams in La Liga fought in the Premier League.

Atletico Madrid fights Liverpool, Real Madrid beats Manchester United, Barcelona faces Chelsea, and Sevilla fights Inter Milan.

When the draw results came out, a group of netizens exclaimed: UEFA understands traffic!

Real Madrid vs. Manchester United, Arsene Wenger vs. Ferguson, this gimmick is absolutely explosive.

What about Barcelona vs Chelsea?

Jose Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge was still a game of exploding traffic.

Atletico Madrid vs. Liverpool, a spear and a shield duel.

Sevilla against Inter Milan was relatively weak in these four games.

Inter Milan has completely relied on Adriano in front of him this season and dragged him into the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Now Inter Milan relies on Aurelio and Adriano for attack, Nesta for defense, and Cambiaso for organization.

Oh yes, there's a Cesar in front of the goal.

Sevilla may not have a big name like Adriano, but Juan de Ramos has been outstanding this season, especially in the Champions League.

La Liga, the competition is too fierce at the moment.

The teams in the quarterfinals of the Champions League are not currently ranked in the top 6 of La Liga, which can be imagined.

But Sevilla have one advantage, their players are young and full of potential.

According to the evaluation within the Spanish football circle, Sevilla are now very good at buying semi-finished products of about 10 million euros and then developing players of about 30 million euros.

And once this kind of team has shown its form at a certain point in time, the strength formed should not be underestimated.

……

At the weekend, in the 27th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Zaragoza away.

Although it was an away game, Atletico Madrid was still anti-away, holding high the banner of attacking football, and launched a rush against Zaragoza away from home, even ignoring the defense behind them.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Torres assisted Kaka for a goal.

Just four minutes later, Torres scored a goal of his own.

In the 31st minute, it was Torres, who received Iniesta's through plug and went to the next goal.

In the end, Atletico Madrid kicked overhead in the first half and attacked Zaragoza 5-1, which made Zaragoza very depressed.

Then in the second half, Atletico scored two more goals, and finally 7-1, away to Zaragoza.

The problems exposed by Zaragoza's game were clear, with the lack of timely reinforcements after the sale of players such as Diego Milito, resulting in a lack of threat up front.

In the defender position, after selling Gabriel Milito, although Ayala was brought in, he was too old.

This has led to a lack of competitiveness on the part of Zaragoza as a whole.

Relatively speaking, their midfield and wings are actually quite good.

Gabi and Lucin are both strong in the back, while Juanfran and former Real Madrid right-back Diogo have also been able to perform.

But again, in the face of Atletico Madrid, they didn't guard it tightly enough!

Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-1 at home in this round.

Barcelona were unlucky, winning in the Champions League and losing 2-1 at home to Villarreal in the league.

Pellegrini's yellow submarine is really the stronger the stronger.

Aguero's two goals in this game were really eye-catching.

Three days after Camp Nou defeated Barcelona, Villarreal drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium.

This is the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

The Beds attacked aggressively at home after a 3-2 defeat in the first leg, but there was a mistake at the back and Aguero seized the opportunity to sneak into the goal.

Atletico pulled a goal back just before half-time, but couldn't find the back of the net again.

With an aggregate score of 3-4, Atletico Madrid missed the Copa del Rey final.

In the other match, Valencia eliminated Racing Santander and advanced to the final of the Copa del Rey.

Interestingly, according to the previously announced results, this Copa del Rey final was played at the Mestalla Stadium.

Valencia Regional Derby!

The Bat Legion vs. the Yellow Submarine is another popular event!

Incidentally, in this season's UEFA Cup, La Liga teams have also performed very vigorously.

Villarreal defeated Zenit St. Petersburg, led by Arshavin, who should have won the championship in Yang Hao's previous life, in the round of 32, and won 3-0 on aggregate over two legs.

Valencia, Deportivo La Coruna and Getafe have all reached the round of 16 and have done well.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton in the Premier League also reached the last 16 of the UEFA Cup.

Now the confrontation between La Liga and the Premier League is becoming more and more obvious.

Everyone is also well aware that La Liga and the Premier League are not only competing in each other, but also swallowing quality players from other leagues such as Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1.

The French team newspaper even believes that the competition between La Liga and the Premier League will ultimately be unlucky for the third, fourth and fifth ranked leagues, because they find that the purchasing power of the two major leagues is getting stronger, and their ability to retain players is weaker.

Even, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 have faint signs of becoming the youth base of La Liga and the Premier League.

Unlike the Premier League, La Liga has generally performed well in European competitions.

It also has something to do with the winter break they arrange.

……

On March 15, La Liga ushered in a messy 28th round.

Real Madrid lost 1-0 away to Deportivo La Coruna.

Didier Deschamps' side beat Real Madrid at home thanks to Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal.

The UEFA Cup hasn't been played lately, so Super Laco has a good week off.

Arsene Wenger's Real Madrid, on the other hand, suffered a defeat at Roma in midweek.

Valencia narrowly beat Sevilla 2-1 at home.

Barcelona were held to a 2-2 draw away by Almeria.

Unai Emery's side have once again created a big surprise.

Youngster Bojan started the game and opened the scoring for Barcelona and performed well.

Bojan has made his debut at Barcelona this season, and his performance is also remarkable.

Atletico beat Levante 3-0 at home, with Fernando Torres netting a brace and Arjen Robben netting the first goal.

The Sheets' unbeaten run extends to 61 games.

……

After the 28th round of La Liga, Atletico can finally take a breather.

The next day's recovery training was over, and after the review meeting, Yang Hao announced that the team would start a one-day holiday.

In addition, he also promised the players that they would have a one-day holiday in the middle of the week.

That is, there will be 2 days off this week.

The players were all relieved and exhaled heavily.

From January to now, Atletico Madrid have played two games a week, or the players are running around with the national team, and there is no time to rest.

It's been almost 3 months!

Sometimes thinking about it, Yang Hao feels a lot of pressure.

Atletico Madrid's rotation is actually quite good, and changing other teams, such a heavy burden of the game is really fatal.

Getafe, for example, did well last season, reaching the UEFA Cup, but this season has been on two fronts and their results have plummeted.

The players are on vacation, and the coaching staff is also on vacation, but Yang Hao can't take a holiday.

He still has a lot of things to do.

In the past time, Yang Hao only led the team and competed on the green field, and he was deaf to many things.

But the whole world has changed dramatically.

After entering '08, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis quickly spread around the world.

On 22 January, the Fed announced an emergency rate cut of 75 basis points, the largest rate cut since 1980.

On the 30th, another 50 basis point interest rate cut was announced.

In February, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke announced that he would continue to cut interest rates.

In the past two days, the Federal Reserve announced another 75 basis point rate cut.

In addition, the United States has introduced policies almost every day to actively rescue the market.

It is clear that the problem has reached a staggering level.

Yang Hao was in China in his previous life, but he didn't find anything special, which may have something to do with the fact that he was an ordinary person.

But now?

One of the most vital interests is stocks.

Yang Hao holds 30 million shares of Apple, most of which were $50 at the time of purchase, and 6 million shares are even earlier.

At the end of '07, Apple's stock price peaked at $202, and the overall price was around $200.

But in just over 2 months, how much is left now?

$120.

In other words, when Yang Hao's assets were at their highest, they reached $6 billion, and he was a proper super-rich.

But now?

$3.6 billion.

Although he is still rich, he lost $2.4 billion at once.

What is this concept?

In the words that Yang Hao joked with Cerezo, Xiao Hill and others, don't talk to me about football, don't talk to me about new stadiums, skyscrapers, the money lost by labor and management is enough for you to build a building!

It's that outrageous!

Yang Hao now finds that this special thing is a heartbeat.

If he hadn't known the future earlier, he would have gone absolutely crazy now, was he?

$2.4 billion in losses!

Yang Hao was almost distressed to death.

"Okay, I started with $50, and now I've made a lot of money, right?"

Hearing Yang Hao's complaints, Cerezo and Little Hill both began to have a strong hatred of the rich.

Without him, it's so infuriating!

All good things are taken by him.

Women, Fame, Money......

"Adrian Perez has called me several times and asked me to advise you to hurry up and say that the market is very bad right now, and everyone is saying that it is going to collapse." Carlos Leo sighed.

"Right now, on Wall Street, even the most optimistic investors don't feel like there's much to do."

"Yes, we don't know anything about stocks, make money, hurry up and cash out."

"Make $2.4 billion less, just buy a lesson, haha......"

Yang Hao despised this group of guys.

It's not their money, $2.4 billion is like toilet paper, say don't want it?

"I don't believe in evil, I will continue to bet on Apple, and labor and management must earn back the $2.4 billion!" Yang Hao is very "stubborn".

"Let me tell you, Yang, listen to my advice, now even the most positive and optimistic experts in the United States are not optimistic."

"If those experts can say it right every time, then he is Warren Buffett, what kind of bullshit expert should he be?" Yang Hao retorted.

"But now the stock is a ......"

"Let me tell you, Carlos, I voted for Apple because I am optimistic about his long-term development, have I used all the mobile phones I gave you?"

The apples have just come out of the first bag, and they don't taste particularly good, a little astringent, but they're already very sweet.

"I'll just say it, it will subvert the current mobile phone industry, it will definitely replace Nokia, it will become the superpower of the mobile phone industry in the next few years, I am responsible for what I say, and vote with a knife!"

Yang Hao's words were so confident, but it was difficult for others to refute.

But when you think of the $2.4 billion loss......

But Yang Hao made up his mind, and he will live by Apple's stock for the next ten years.

Cerezo, Little Hill, Carlos Leo and others suddenly didn't know what to say about him.

Sometimes, they don't understand the decisions made by Yang Hao.

It's like he invested in Apple twice, and everyone on Wall Street in the United States laughed at him, but now?

Although they lost $2.4 billion, they still made billions of dollars.

What qualifications do those so-called investment experts have to laugh at him?

"Then, I'll only say this once, believe me, just vote for apples, really, taking advantage of the current floor price, it must be right." Yang Hao, in turn, persuaded them to invest.

But everyone shook their heads vigorously.

It's all fallen like this, still buying?

……

Speaking of money, Atletico are now the real footballers.

Just a few days ago, a French football magazine just published a report that made a ranking of the income of the world's stars.

Of course, they have no way to get specific data, so they can only rely on rough speculation.

Kaka came in first place with 35 million euros.

David Beckham has somewhat lost his main position at Real Madrid, but his commercial value is still high, with an annual income of 31 million euros.

Ronaldinho is 24 million euros.

It is worth mentioning that Messi rose very fast, reaching 23 million euros, while Ronaldo reached 20 million euros.

When Yang Hao saw this list, he threw it away.

Why?

Because fake!

Too little.

The earnings of the players of the French football team are not accurate.

The players of other teams, Yang Hao does not know, but the players of Atletico Madrid are seriously not allowed.

For example, Kaka, not 35 million euros, but more than 40 million euros, the specific amount, Atletico Madrid has not carefully counted, because a lot of data can not be done in detail.

For example, some income is in Asia, but it has to avoid taxes and then move around.

But certainly more than 40 million euros.

Fernando Vázquez told Yang Hao that after 2008, Kaka's commercial value soared further.

Carlos Leao also said that Kaka expects to earn more than 50 million euros.

That's a staggering number.

There's no way, Kaka's appearance is very good-looking, and he plays the ball well.

Think about it, a person born in the football kingdom, looks as handsome as David Beckham, won the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or for 3 consecutive years at a young age, and can be called the first in the world in terms of personal honors, how high is his commercial value?

This is also in 2008, if it is in 2023, then it will not take off?

Torres is quite at the bottom of the list, but in fact, he also earns a lot of money, and in '07 he certainly earns more than 30 million euros a year, which is not expected to lose to Beckham.

Mainly because, handsome!

This is a very beautiful era.

Therefore, Yang Hao's commercial income far exceeds Atletico's coaching contract income.

Messi's commercial value has indeed risen very quickly, and it has been since '07.

Under the strong push of Atletico Madrid, Messi's annual income should exceed 30 million euros.

There are also several other players, such as Xavi Alonso, who also earn more than 15 million euros a year.

From the current point of view, if you count commercial income, Atletico Madrid can really account for several of the top ten annual income in European football.

The other teams should not have as much commercial income as Atletico.

The reason is also very simple, all walks of life are somewhat ...... Not to mention the winner-takes-all, but the faucets are definitely grabbing most of the revenue, so the overall commercial value of Atletico is very high right now.

Especially from last season's treble to this season's unbeaten streak, this wave continues, and Atletico's name is spread all over the world, and it is far ahead.

In addition, Atletico Madrid's overall packaging is very good, and the commercial value of the stars is also valued.

Don't say anything else, Drogba.

It's true that Ivorians don't look so Andy Lau, but they still sign big contracts in the United States and are still popular.

Why?

The Americans are good at him, is there a way?

He is endorsed by many companies in Africa and the Middle East, and his annual income exceeds 15 million euros.

The current situation is that as long as you have anything to do with Atletico Madrid, you will make a lot of money.

The players are well-paid, and Atletico's income has skyrocketed.

Now, it is still Real Madrid who is leading, but Atletico Madrid is chasing fiercely behind, and the annual increase is accelerating.

Yang Hao came to the headquarters this time, mainly to deal with the renewal of some players.

These are all pre-meeting continuations.

After several big-name superstars in the team have renewed their contracts one after another, others are basically not a problem.

Another thing is Yang Hao's contract.

Now, Yang Hao's contract is an annual salary of 15 million euros, and Atletico Madrid means that the players have risen, and Yang Hao also has to mean that it will rise a little, so Yang Hao also listened to their opinions and rose to 20 million euros.

If you add other bonuses, benefits, etc., it is still very considerable.

The last thing is actually the most troublesome.

MSM Group has a problem with its funds.

Ma Ao Beer has never been a local tyrant consortium, but in the past few years, they have sponsored Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, sponsored La Liga, and actively promoted and acquired them globally, and they have indeed spent a lot of money.

For example, official awards such as La Liga's scorer list, best player, and Golden Boot award are all sponsored by Maro Beer.

Atletico Madrid's best player and other awards are also sponsored by Marao Beer.

The benefits are certainly many.

As Spain's largest beer market, there is hardly a second brand in the Madrid region.

From bars to nightclubs, all of them are beer brands owned by the MSM Group.

So his development in the past few years has also been very good, closely following the pace of globalization in La Liga.

But now, with the subprime mortgage crisis hitting, MSM Group's capital chain is getting tighter and tighter.

This is actually what Yang Hao has been worried about before.

Last time, he asked Cerezo if MSM Group would be affected by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, but at that time Cerezo said that it should not, but now it seems that it is not that it will not, but that it was not revealed at that time.

Yang Hao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the headquarters building and saw that the basements of the two buildings were still being built, which was also the most time-consuming.

Once out of the ground, the construction speed is very fast.

"What do they mean now?" Yang Hao turned his head and asked.

"I've talked to them, and what they mean now is that if we're willing to take over, they're prioritising us, or they're going to go out looking for money."

"MSM Group has been pulling investment outside before, and they themselves don't have such strong strength, otherwise, they would have started it a long time ago, and they wouldn't have cooperated with us, and the municipal government has talked to them many times about the transformation of the area."

Andrew Barrasco is a little angry, he works in the media, he knows some insiders.

"MSM Group's current capital chain is already very tight, the American institutions that originally promised them to invest, now they have repented, the subprime mortgage crisis is so serious, they themselves are unable to protect themselves, and our institutions in Spain have lent them a lot of money before, so now MSM Group may not be able to attract investment."

After Yang Hao heard this, he nodded, and the general situation was clear.

"What do you think?"

"I think we can consider taking it." Carlos Leo has always been more radical.

"I specially asked a third party to do some research, and in this place where every inch of land is valuable, the rental return rate is still very high, especially for major multinational companies and institutions, which are very interested in moving in."

"But if we take over, the money will be a little tight, and I also asked them to make an estimate that they will have to withdraw 100 million euros a year from the club." Fernando Vázquez, the God of Wealth, said.

"How much can the bank lend us?" Carlos Leo asked.

"I don't know for the time being, I'm going to do the worst."

"Then find a bank loan, now that the interest rate is so low, I think with our current strength, it is no problem at all."

When Carlos Leo said this, the conversation changed, "I was even thinking that I would simply buy their headquarters, and in the future, we would hold this piece exclusively, so that we could save from doing activities, engaging in publicity, and discussing with them." ”

"I agree." Andrew Barrasco echoed, "But I suggest that we take it a little longer, they are a little bit tight on money right now, and we certainly can't show a strong willingness to let them go outside and hit the wall first." ”

"Seriously, now that the market is so bad, the real estate bubble has collapsed, these two buildings are in ruins every minute, how many people dare to invest? Even if there is, it is waiting to be copied. ”

"That's right, instead of letting others do it, it's better for us to do it ourselves, when we cooperated with them, they didn't be polite to us, in order to buy the middle piece of land, we spent an extra 100 million euros, and some other things." Fernando Vázquez agreed.

In business, it is definitely not suitable for the end now.

Now that they are making a move, MSM Group will not only not be grateful to Atletico Madrid, but may even feel that Atletico Madrid has taken advantage of them, and it is better to let them go out and run into a wall than this.

"To put it mildly, in this case, we are still paying for the construction of the Twin Towers as agreed, so that the project will not be stopped, and MSM Group should be grateful, once the construction is stopped, their capital chain will be even more tight."

If it is really immoral, Atletico Madrid will announce that they have no money to invest, and everyone will mess up together.

Wait until the end, the situation is bad to a certain extent, and then come forward to clean up the mess.

This is the essence of buying the bottom.

But now Atletico pays a lot of attention to image and word of mouth, so some things are not easy to do.

It's best to sit back and wait for MSM Group to come to your door.

"That's it!" Yang Hao made a decision immediately.

Since everyone thinks it's feasible, let's do it.

Carlos Leo is right, banks are willing to give low-interest loans, and it would be foolish not to lend them to the bottom.

And he is very sure that in his previous life, he had read the information that office rents in the Madrid area of Spain were recovering very quickly.

It's the capital, after all.

It's a business worth doing.

And when it comes to buying the bottom, Cerezo brought another piece of news.

The Mexican Inter-American Telecommunications Group is on an expedition in Spain.

"When?"

"Not long ago, it was said that they wanted to sponsor, but there was also news that they wanted to buy it, and they were only interested in teams from the Madrid region, such as Leganes, Getafe and Rayo Vallecano."

Madrid is surrounded by a number of satellite cities, such as Leganes, Getafe and Fuenlabrada.

Among them, Getafe and Leganés are both in the southwestern suburbs of Madrid.

Yang Hao has calculated before that it is about 12 kilometers from the Alfonso Pérez Stadium in Getafe to the Emirates Stadium in Atletico Madrid, so relatively speaking, it is still relatively far.

Because of this, Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid go to play Getafe, which is generally not a Madrid derby.

Even if the media wants to hype it, it is called the Madrid derby.

It's like Valencia vs. Villarreal, which is called the Valencia Regional Derby.

Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, is in the city of Madrid, but the team is too weak.

"Rayo Vallecano is now in the third division, right?" Yang Hao asked.

"Yes, at the moment La Liga is in third place, not as good as Real Madrid's second team, Castilla and Deportivo II."

La Liga and La B are unified, but La C is divided into 4 groups.

So now many teams are desperately trying to get into La Liga, and then from La Liga.

Rayo Vallecano is an interesting team, a family business, and the current president is Maria Teresa Rivero, a woman who is 72 years old.

Teresa's husband, José Mateos, bought Rayo Vallecano, who was still in La Liga and in debt crisis at the time, in '91.

In January '94, halfway through the season, her husband was unable to continue as president of Rayo Vallecano due to financial problems, so Teresa was pushed out, and Teresa didn't understand football at all.

But with the cooperation of her and her second son, Rayo Vallecano turned out to be not bad, once promoted to La Liga, and also played the role of a dark horse.

However, the most striking thing about Rayo Vallecano is the women's team.

Because of Teresa, Rayo Vallecano's women's football team is very famous in Spain, and at one point brought in Ronaldo's ex-wife Milani, which made the team famous.

This was the ridicule and ridicule of the famous Spanish commentator Dora Carvey at that time.

"Teresa doesn't understand football at all, she only has children."

It was used to mock the first female president in the history of La Liga, who gave birth to a total of 13 children for her husband.

At the beginning of the century, when Atletico Madrid was promoted to La Liga, Theresa was selling Rayo Vallecano everywhere to buy the La Liga team for only 75 million euros, but no one was interested at the time.

The reason is simple: when Rayo Vallecano is at its best, the attendance on the pitch is very bad.

Their Rayo Vallecas stadium has a capacity of only 14,500 people, but if you go to the stadium, you will find that the facilities and conditions of the stadium are very poor, so their home income is very poor.

With this in mind, the ceiling of Rayo Vallecano has been locked.

However, as a traverser, Yang Hao noticed another thing.

As he said before, the La Penetta stadium in the eastern suburbs of the city renovated by Atletico Madrid in the previous life is just northeast of Rayo Vallecano, and the straight-line distance is about six or seven kilometers, one in the southeast of the city and the other in the east of the city.

If someone could buy Rayo Vallecano, talk to the city government, contract the unfinished project of La Pennetta, and invest money to build a new stadium, it would be really interesting.

At that time, Atletico Madrid will be in the south of the city center, Real Madrid will be in the north of the city center, and there will be another team in the eastern suburbs of the city, and there will be a proper triangular confrontation.

But Yang Hao just said it casually.

Rayo Vallecano is now in the third tier, and it is enough to be promoted, let alone enter La Liga.

……

After a week's rest, Atletico Madrid ushered in the 29th round of La Liga.

This time the team travels to Sevilla.

Messi scored a goal for Atletico Madrid in the 18th minute of the first half.

It was Arjen Robben on the left who provided the assist.

And after the rematch in the second half, Marcelo assisted Torres to score a goal.

Sevilla scored a goal in the 77th minute of the second half through Capel.

In the end, Atletico beat Sevilla 2-1 away.

In the 52nd minute of this game, Kaka was injured and went off the field, which was caused by a physical collision with the opposing player, but the problem was not very serious, and he was out of action for about 2 weeks.

Injuries like this are hard to avoid.

……

In the middle of the week, the Spanish national team organized a training camp.

The purpose of this hasty training camp is to play a warm-up match against Italy.

The venue of the match was arranged in Elche.

The European Championship is approaching and all teams are in full swing to prepare.

Yang Hao's warm-up game arrangements are actually exquisite.

For example, playing England is mainly to test how much pressure the team's pass-and-possession play can withstand in the face of England's long-pass rushing and rushing shock flow tactics?

England's problem now is in midfield, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard have not been able to form a good combination, resulting in England losing ground in midfield, and Spain's advantage is precisely in midfield.

Italy is different.

Now Italy's national team coach Donadoni has adopted a 433 tactical style of play and wants to carry out tactical reforms.

But there are a lot of veterans in this team.

For example, Cannavaro, Materazzi, Panucci, Zambrotta, Grosso and many more.

Nesta did not make it to the national team this time because of injury.

The midfield is dominated by Perrotta, Andrea Pirlo and De Rossi.

So now Italy is playing very screwed, in an awkward period of replacing the old with the new.

It's just that Italy hasn't had any good players in recent years.

For example, in this game, Yang Hao took a look at the list of the Italian national team, and the younger ones were De Rossi and Aquilani, the former is Roma's midfielder, and the latter is the core of Valencia's organization.

However, Aquilani is currently in the national team and it will be difficult for Pirlo to shake his position.

This is another awkward place in Italy.

If Pirlo and Aquilani are used at the same time, the defense in midfield will be very problematic.

So, they need Perrotta.

Yang Hao's current main lineup has been basically determined, and what he wants to do now is to further verify whether this style of play can work in the European Cup.

By the way, let's also get to know the opponents in the European Cup.

And against Italy, the core of Yang Hao's investigation is that in the face of a team that is strictly defending, is there a good solution for Spain's passing?

At Atletico Madrid, Messi is the best breakthrough.

At the same time, a high striker like Luca Toney is also a very big test for Spain's defense.

That's what the warm-up game is about.

Through this kind of targeted opponents, you can constantly scout the team, find out the problem, and then solve the problem.

Even in the first half, Yang Hao pulled out Marcos Senna in the midfield, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi and Iniesta, and Villa played a single striker.

This is somewhat similar to the 4141 tactics used by Aragonés in the previous life.

But it turned out to be far from ideal.

Possession is very advantageous but it is difficult to turn possession into a dangerous attack.

Italy doesn't even fight Spain in midfield, they don't grab the ball, they just defend well.

Spain is completely overwhelming, but what's the use?

The front can't be attacked!

"That's the problem." Yang Hao stood on the sidelines, analysing towards Juanma Lillo and Pep Guardiola.

"It's useless to just keep the ball, no matter how we pull and how we move, as long as the opponent keeps the whole formation coordinated, it will be difficult for us to rush in."

"So, Iniesta must not be placed on the wing." Juanma Lillo said.

If Iniesta is not on the wing, then Cesc Fabregas will have to come down.

Yang Hao's arrangement is actually to want the players and the media to see what his choice is for.

"The old rule, you still have to play 433, I think David Silva can play, he will be very dangerous in the ribs, especially with Iniesta, the two have a good understanding, Antonio López on the left will be a very important weapon for us."

This should be the biggest difference between Yang Hao and Aragonés in his previous life.

Antonio López moved to Valencia after a strong performance at Atletico.

Under Ancelotti's tutelage and trust, Antonio Lopes has been one of the best left wing-backs in La Liga this season.

Capdevilla is not as attacking as he is.

Then the whole tactical play is very clear.

David Silva on the left, Andres Iniesta and Xavi in the middle.

If you encounter a weaker opponent, go to Xavi Alonso and directly use the pass and cut style to kill the opponent.

If you have a strong opponent, it's Marcos Senna.

Senna's defense is still very secure.

It is also worth mentioning that with the addition of Pepe to the Spanish national team, the backline of the Aragonés period was shaky, and now it is not present.

Pepe, Puyol and Ramos are the three most consistent players in the backline, and they are also the most trusted by Yang Hao.

Plus goalkeeper Casillas and left wing-back Antonio López.

This backline is basically fine.

In fact, when Yang Hao adjusted in the second half, it was Antonio Lopes who stepped forward on the left side and assisted Torres to score the winning goal.

Spain beat Italy 1-0 at home.

If there are no injuries, Yang Hao's European squad is basically decided.

Let me explain, it's not that I deliberately portrayed Cruyff like this, but Cruyff's column is sometimes really disgusting, and sometimes what he says makes sense, but it doesn't sound good, so the relationship with the Barcelona management is not very good. And in the book, Mourinho does not conform to his football philosophy, then of course he scolds even more. In addition, today is still a single change, thank you bosses! Bye-hey, bye-thanks!
