313 The Last Madness of La Liga! The group of ascent and death [10,000-word chapter, kneeling and begging for subscription]

This year's UEFA draw and the annual UEFA Super Cup have nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.

The Sheets stayed in Mahada Honda to concentrate on preparing for the opening game of the new season.

By the way, Atletico's current unbeaten record stands at 71 games.

The award ceremony at the Champions League draw is mainly awarded to last season's Champions League, and it is basically between the champion and the runner-up, so Real Madrid and Barcelona will play the leading role, and it has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.

The real draw for the Champions League group stage was the draw.

From the point of view of the classification, the eight seeded teams are the three giants of the Western Super League, the BIG4 of the Premier League, and the remaining one is Inter Milan.

Needless to say, the second pot, Bayern, Valencia, Porto, Lyon and other teams are all good.

Damn third and fourth gears.

Everyone knows that if these two teams "mix" into the four major leagues, it will often be very troublesome.

Then there are the teams from cold Northern Europe, or distant regions such as Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, etc.

The biggest headache is Russia and Ukraine, which are far away, cold, and troublesome.

Of course, if you're visiting in September or early October, it's a little better.

But now, all the troublesome factors in third and fourth gear are gone.

In the third gear, a guy called the Bianconeri was "mixed".

After the relegation, it has sunk to this day, and Juventus has returned to the Champions League and entered the third pot.

Marseille, Zenit St. Petersburg and other teams are very difficult to play.

In the fourth pot there are Shakhtar Donetsk, Fiorentina, Dynamo Kyiv and Aalborg in Denmark.

Among them, the Donetsk miners are the most troublesome.

"There are indeed a lot of rumors outside, mainly because I think La Liga is too strong now."

Pep Guardiola sighed, with the current situation in La Liga, it is a matter of time before he is targeted.

"But I don't think UEFA should be too embarrassed, especially if it's too obvious and not good-looking."

Yang Hao smiled when he heard this.

Pretty?

Every draw is not pretty.

Or should I ask, after which Champions League draw did not come out in some news?

Of course, to some extent, it can be explained as a matter of probability, and it is so "coincidental".

This in itself is also a very important attraction of the Champions League.

Or rather, a gimmick.

To put it mildly, killing Atletico Madrid in the group stage is definitely the big news of the year in the Champions League.

This reminded Yang Hao of his brother who understood the Emperor of the Ball in his previous life, grasping traffic with his left hand and money with his right hand, insisting on grasping it with both hands, and both hands should be hard.

Whoever is popular will be the first to engage in whom, and whoever is the first to toss whom, playing is 7 words: independent, objective, and third-party.

Before the crossing, the veteran driver who had driven a car for more than 20 years, Yang Hao had driven a BMW Mercedes-Benz Land Rover, and also drove Otto Antelope Elderly Music, he knew too well that there was no end to the car, and no one was perfect.

It's like the eight-and-a-half-generation Civic that has been with him for more than ten years, the sound insulation, whoever sits on it knows, will definitely make people collapse.

There's no central control screen.

But we're smart, we got a USB flash drive, more than 1,000 songs on the Internet, and the sound is turned on to the boss, isn't this sound insulation (collapse face)?

But is this car bad?

Neither is it.

When I first bought it, it was in that era, within 200,000, its double-deck dashboard was the most sci-fi, and I was hungry for many years.

The car of the small book is very light, and the iron sheet is very thin, but the old driver is very careful to drive, and it is easy not to have an accident.

Well, there is absolutely no ambiguity here, literally.

In addition, it is durable, and there is nothing wrong with it.

So, it's up to you how you choose.

Don't say it, as soon as he said it, Yang Hao couldn't help but think of the second wife who had followed him for more than ten years.

As soon as I got in the car, the key turned to two gears and the music played.

"In this stormy society, how do you want to blossom, how do you land, how do you land, let's stay together for love."

"I've decided that if I want to be a kind villain, smoke the wheat pavilion and wine the pavilion."

This is a band he liked very much in his previous life, and he still doesn't know where it is.

The traverser had a bad experience with that.

When I look back, I complain about the Crossing Authority, and I can't even do the most basic service experience, so what are you eating?

In fact, the same is true in football.

If UEFA really wants to toss La Liga, they only need to accommodate a little physical confrontation and fouls in the enforcement standards, then La Liga will play hard.

But this is a clear departure from the direction of UEFA's reform and development.

To put it bluntly, football is now about encouraging attack, encouraging fast tempo.

Conservative football like Serie A is really lethargic and will only make more and more young people flee.

Moreover, the current president of the Spanish Football Federation, Bilal, is also the vice president of UEFA and is in charge of refereeing.

Whether there is favoritism and taking care of La Liga, Yang Hao does not dare to say that there is no at all, but at least under the standard, La Liga will not suffer.

So, if you want to toss La Liga, you really have to make some fuss about the schedule.

No, in the just-concluded European Cup, what is the name of the lottery drawn by Spain?

As for what Guardiola said, it won't be too ugly......

Yang Hao can only say that the too young, too simple Tucson is broken.

In a few years, you will be able to regret it even after the lottery is released, do you believe it?

Was it an unintentional accident? Or is it a technical issue?

Yang Hao didn't dare to pack tickets, but this kind of thing is the same as a lottery draw.

There are already so many conspiracy theories out there, it's best not to have an accident, and if there is an accident, it will be yellow mud falling off the crotch.

How to make it clear?

……

Atletico Madrid, seeded side, were drawn in Group H.

In Pot 2, apart from Valencia, other teams are likely to meet.

And the strength is not bad, PSV Eindhoven and Sporting Lisbon are relatively weak in this area.

Well, and Rome.

The Red Wolves are now on the verge of being hollowed out by Ancelotti's old ghost.

"The most unlucky thing is to draw Bayern Munich, 1 out of 7, the probability is too small." Pep Guardiola said as he watched the live broadcast.

Yang Hao smiled and said nothing.

He was very careful to observe the glass jar of the small ball, and wondered if there was really a so-called heating?

Or, is there anything else that is boring?

Not to mention the live broadcast, you can't see any clues at the scene.

In European football, everyone actually knows it.

Unless......

"I'm the next Ao!" Yang Hao really scolded his mother.

The likes of Juanma Lillo, Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino were also dumbfounded.

That's too much, isn't it?

Atletico Madrid drew Bayern Munich in the second gear!

This clearly means that it is to be pushed in the direction of the group of death.

"We only reached the semi-finals last season, you have the ability, you go to Real Madrid and Barcelona, they performed the best last season."

Everyone can really only smile bitterly.

Facts have proved that in UEFA's view, Atletico Madrid's "thorn" is still a headache threat in La Liga.

The strength is too strong, if you don't do it, you may win the championship again.

"At this pace, the third pot is either Juventus, Zenit St. Petersburg and Marseille."

Outcome......

"Juventus!"

"Atletico drew Juventus in pot 3."

From the TV commentary, it can also be seen that there were still people applauding at the scene.

What kind of people are they?

Who applauded?

Stand up and see if I don't kill him!

Of course, the applause is not all about schadenfreude and schadenfreude at Atletico, but they don't have to worry about drawing Juventus.

"Pep, from now on, don't speak." Yang Hao patted Guardiola on the shoulder and persuaded.

You cup of poisoned milk, we Atletico really can't afford it.

Juanmar Lillo and Pochettino couldn't help but laugh.

No matter who is drawn, for Atletico Madrid, promotion is a high probability event, that is, there will be some trouble in the process.

"I took a look and the schedule of Group H is the fifth round on November 25, and Pot 1 will go away to Pot 4."

Yang Hao guessed.

At the end of November, instead of going to Ukraine, Yang Hao preferred to go to Romania.

"Give me Cluj, Romania!" Yang Hao prayed.

But reality gave him a cruel slap in the face, and Atletico drew Shakhtar Donetsk.

Pot 4 is the strongest and most devilish fixture.

Atletico Madrid, Bayern, Juventus, Shakhtar Donetsk.

These four teams are lined up in a group and it is definitely a rhythm that will kill you.

"Now, who told me again, the lottery is not boring, I will spray him to death with saliva!"

The four teams in La Liga are also not particularly good.

Atletico Madrid are of course the worst of the best, and Real Madrid are also bad, they also have to travel to Borisol in Belarus in the fifth round, and they also have to travel long way to play, and they also have to meet Zenit St. Petersburg in October.

Valencia were also not ideal, with Inter Milan in Pot 1.

The Bat Army met Inter Milan, and since when Cooper was still in charge of the Nerazzurri, the two sides have been old enemies.

Carlo Ancelotti met Inter Milan again, an alternative Milan derby, which was also full of gimmicks and highlights.

The only pity is that AC Milan enters the Champions League, otherwise, putting Valencia and AC Milan together is a classic plot of the Champions League.

"I don't know how to change this kind of old-fashioned plot." Yang Hao scoffed.

'From the current point of view, we can't have problems in the first four rounds, we have to give it our all.' Juanma Lillo reminded.

Yang Hao nodded, if he can win four consecutive victories, then the remaining 2 rounds will not matter.

But if you want to win 4 in a row, this is not a lot of difficulty.

In particular, the two legs against Bayern were in the third and fourth rounds.

It's the equivalent of playing two legs in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

But when Parales and others added the Champions League schedule to the schedule of La Liga and the Copa del Rey, everyone gasped.

It's a terrible schedule!

On October 4, he played Barcelona at Camp Nou, followed by two weeks of international matches, at home against Real Madrid on the 18th, away to Bayern Munich on the 22nd, away to Villarreal on the 26th, and the fourth round of the Copa del Rey on the 29th.

On November 1, he played Real Mallorca at home and Bayern Munich on the 5th.

Don't say anything, just ask, is this kind of schedule difficult!

"To be honest, this schedule is really damning!" Yang Hao exhaled heavily.

Judging from the current situation, Atletico really can't be taken lightly.

……

Last season's Champions League awards were all freshly announced.

Since this is the selection of the Champions League, it has nothing to do with the European Cup.

The Player of the Season award went to Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Player of the Year and Striker awards alone.

The Goalkeeper of the Season award went to Real Madrid's Iker Casillas.

The midfielder of the season went to Barcelona's Xavi and the defender of the season went to Barcelona's Puyol.

Of the five season bests, Real Madrid took three and Barcelona two.

There's not much suspense either.

Judging from the process of the game, Real Madrid really dominated the whole process, but Barcelona won the championship with its defense, which was also the first Champions League title in Mourinho's coaching career.

Compared to the Champions League awards, it was the draw results of the group stage that really attracted media attention.

Atletico drew the Group of Death, which caused a lot of buzz in the media and fans around the world.

The Sheets, Bayern, Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk were drawn together and it was an absolute nightmare.

Atletico general manager Junior Hill, who was present at the draw on behalf of the team, said in an interview with the media: "This is a particularly challenging group. ”

Hill Jr. said that Atletico Madrid were really unlucky and drew a very difficult group, "but our opponents will feel more difficult because they have to face Atletico. ”

Atletico Madrid's general manager said with a smile.

The German and Italian media were generally depressed because neither of them wanted to be drawn in a group with Atletico.

According to Bild, this group has the smallest gap in average strength.

"Atletico have a slight advantage, but it's not enough to guarantee that they will qualify, Bayern and Juventus are equal, and Shakhtar Donetsk are not weaker than them, especially at home."

Milan Sports newspaper also believes that it is normal for the four teams in this group to emerge from the group stage.

The Spanish newspaper Marca believes that the draw luck of the four teams in La Liga this season is not very good, which is obviously because La Liga has been too strong in the past few years and has become the target of public criticism.

Marca doesn't say it explicitly, but the meaning has been revealed.

The Spanish media believe that the four La Liga teams will face a test of fixtures, who can emerge from the difficult schedule and who is the real strongman.

'Of the four teams, Atletico Madrid undoubtedly have the toughest schedule, especially in October and Donetsk at the end of November, which is a nightmare that no team wants to encounter.

In an interview with Marca, Hill Jr. said cheerfully: "The draw result is already an established fact, and there is no point in continuing to discuss it. ”

"Next, the first thing for our team to do is to study the opponent, adjust our own form, straighten out the overall operation of our team, and play every game well, which is the most important thing."

As for the target, Xiao Cier was angry with Yang Hao before he went.

Regardless of the outcome of the draw, there is only one goal.

'There's no doubt that we met two of the biggest teams on the continent in the group stage, which was bad, but it was also our luck that we were able to expose more of the team's problems in the group stage and solve them.

"As for the goal of the group stage, we never changed."

Although the three major bookmakers in Europe have slightly lowered their expectations for Atletico Madrid after the draw for the Champions League group stage, the Bed Legion are still the top favourites to win the Champions League this season.

The day after the Champions League draw, Barcelona met Deportivo La Coruna, the winner of the UEFA Cup, at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.

What happens when two teams that are also playing defensive counter-attacks and winning the championship with a solid defense meet in the Super Cup?

The answer is, sparks fly.

Barcelona are making adjustments to the team's overall attacking system after selling Ronaldinho and bringing in Arjen Robben and Cesc Fabregas this summer.

The simplest, Ronaldinho used to be on the ball, but now?

Whether it is Xavi or Cesc Fabregas, they basically pay attention to passing through the midfield quickly and counterattacking directly.

The impact of this shift on the players is quite significant.

In the previous Copa América Telecom match held in Mexico City, Barcelona really fell at the feet of the Spaniards and was given a 1-0 by Valverde, and the mistake came from goalkeeper Valdés.

And this time at the Stade Louis II, against Super Laco, the two sides maintained a very close state throughout the first half, and neither side could break through the opponent's goal.

Defensively, it was clear that both teams did a very good job.

Of course, the process of the game will not be very good.

What people never expected was that in the last minute before the end of the first half, Diego sent a direct pass behind him, and Colombian striker Falcao, who had just joined the team, cut in at high speed.

Valdés was decisive in the face of Falcao's anti-offside position and scrambled to get the ball first.

But what's worse is that he didn't hold it for the first time and let it go.

It was an outrageous mistake and Falcao made the most of the opportunity to score a goal.

In the second half, Barcelona had to take the initiative when they conceded a goal first.

But in the 59th minute, Diego provided another assist on the counter-attack, and Pienal scored a goal.

2 to 0!

Although Tevez later assisted Robben to pull a goal back, Barcelona still lost 1-2 to Deportivo La Coruna.

Losing the America's Telecom Cup can be said to be a warm-up nature, and I don't pay attention to it, but now I am losing the European Super Cup, which has caused a very strong reaction.

Valdés has never been a solid goalkeeper, but his style fits well with Barca's pass-and-possession style of play.

But now, Mourinho doesn't play with the ball and instead plays with a counter-attack.

Passing and controlling the ball is an active style of play with a high tolerance for error; But the defensive counterattack is a passive style of play, and the error tolerance rate is very low.

To put it simply, the former is like a striker, you try 10 shots on goal, and you only need to score 1 and you are a hero.

The latter is like a defender, you defend 9 times, and if you make 1 turnover, you are a sinner.

Valdés' style is very suitable for being a "striker", but now being a "defender" at Barcelona is indeed too depressing.

This is what Yang Hao has always emphasized, the concept of this thing looks very empty, but in fact, it affects all aspects of the club, even including the selection of personnel.

……

'Mourinho gave me a call.

In the conference room of the Barcelona office at the Camp Nou, President Laporta, vice-presidents Ferran Soriano, Ingra and Rosell, as well as technical director Begiristan, and board members Bartomeu and Rafal Juust, among others.

Aside from regular meetings at fixed times, it's rare to see so many of Barça's top brass sitting together.

They are very busy on weekdays.

It was Russell who spoke.

He is now the vice-president for athletic affairs.

'He's very unhappy with Valdés' performance, even last season, Valdés had a number of mistakes, and at the beginning of this season there were a series of mistakes.

"Mourinho believes that last season's title win has led to a slack in the psychology of the players, with a significant decline in form and performance."

As soon as he came up, he fired aggressively, which is very much in line with Russell's usual characteristics.

In this respect, he is actually quite similar to Mourinho.

If it were anyone else, it would be hard for everyone to say anything, but Valdés really didn't have to be washed.

This guy has never been reliable from start to finish.

Many have even said that he is the most inconsistent factor in the Barcelona squad.

Yes, it's a bit like Atletico Manuel Neuer.

Didn't the media ridicule Atletico Madrid's backline for having the so-called auspicious three treasures?

Valdés is the treasure of the Barca backline.

And as soon as Mourinho fired, it was obvious that it was a reinforcement.

"Who does he want to sign?" Begiristan asked with concern.

"There are two players on the list, Cesar of Inter Milan and Gianluigi Buffon of Juventus, and Valdés is really difficult to adapt to his tactics, he is too short."

The performance is inconsistent and the height is on the short side, these are Valdés' shortcomings, and they have not been washed.

"In the transfer market now, there are very few excellent goalkeepers, and it takes a high transfer fee to poach Buffon." Ferran Soriano came out and said.

"Although we won the Champions League last season and our revenue broke 350 million euros, our salary structure is still not very reasonable, and I personally recommend that we not buy Buffon, otherwise we need to readjust our season budget to meet the review of La Liga."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rosell also spoke: "But the problem now, our goalkeeper is becoming the biggest shortcoming, he made two mistakes, let us lose two titles, if we continue like this until the new season, the team will be very risky." ”

The implication is that results are hard to guarantee.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all don't know what to say.

Soriano thinks from a financial point of view, and Rusell thinks from a competitive point of view.

Both of them make sense, but they don't seem to be so convincing.

I've been in Barcelona for a long time, and I'm used to this atmosphere.

"Buffon's worth is really too expensive." President Laporta opened his mouth to reassure both sides, "If you poach Cesar from Inter Milan, it is estimated that it will not be much cheaper, in this case, I suggest looking again to see if there is a more suitable candidate." ”

"There are only two days left until the transfer market closes." Russell reminded.

Laporta looked at Begiristan, who thought for a moment, "Sevilla's Diego López did well last season and is worth around 10 million euros, can you think about it?" ”

"Diego López?" Laporta pondered for a moment and nodded: "I also heard that this player is doing well, he is from Real Madrid, has strength, and is very tall. ”

It's the Spanish players again.

Russell pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Jose means to hope for stability, Diego López's performance in Real Madrid is not convincing, although he performed well in Sevilla, but how he performed in Barcelona, who knows?" ”

The transfer market is very transparent and open.

You get what you pay for.

There is a reason why stars are expensive, and their strength has been tested.

"How much does Buffon's transfer fee cost?" Laporta frowned.

Since Jose Mourinho led the team to win the Champions League, Rosell is now starting to feel a bit of a big problem.

The main reason is that he has a good relationship with Mendes, Mourinho is what he finalized, and Mourinho is controversial enough, winning the Champions League in the first season, which is the second Champions League in Barcelona's history.

Who was the last to win the Champions League?

Cruyff!

In this case, Mourinho was very popular with Barcelona fans, who said that if he wanted to sell Ronaldinho, then he would sell.

He said he wanted to buy Robben, so he bought it.

But the problem now is that he still has to buy Buffon again, which is a bit ......

"I asked Mendes to assess that Juventus is also quite short of money right now, about 40 million to 50 million euros."

Laporta's brow furrowed slightly.

It's not a particularly expensive transfer fee.

Especially considering that Gianluigi Buffon has been the deserving number one goalkeeper in European football over the years.

Even when Cech was in his prime, everyone thought he could catch up with Buffon, but he hadn't reached Buffon's height.

If you can really sign Buffon for 40 or 50 million euros, it will be quite cost-effective.

At this moment, Soriano next to him coughed lightly and reminded: "Buffon is 30 years old. ”

Laporta was stunned for a moment, and the whole person came to his senses.

With a transfer fee of 40 or 50 million euros, is it worth signing a 30-year-old veteran?

"Moreover, the most important thing to sign Buffon is not the transfer fee, Valencia has also been in contact with him before, but Buffon's annual salary requirements are still quite high, if you want to sign him, I am afraid that you will have to give him the highest salary in the team." Soriano reminded.

"Salary cap?" Laporta frowned.

If Buffon is really given a maximum salary, then Barcelona's salary structure will have to be readjusted.

The salary that was freed up by the sale of Ronaldinho is now being voted back.

"With the quality and form that Buffon has shown, and the longevity of the Italian goalkeeper, there is no problem playing for another five years, don't forget, how old is Van der Sar now?"

Russell said this, paused before continuing: "The biggest shortcoming of our current squad is in the goalkeeper position, if we can't sign Buffon, what if Valdés makes another mistake in the middle of the season?" ”

This is indeed a big risk.

And it's an uncontrollable risk.

If such a scenario really happens, Mourinho only needs to say a word in the media and directly blame the management.

Thinking of this, Laporta was also in a dilemma.

To buy, or not to buy?

……

"What? Barcelona want to buy Buffon? ”

Yang Hao was surprised.

This is definitely the most exciting news before the European transfer market closes.

Everyone thought that the transfer market was very depressed this summer, but they didn't expect such a hand to suddenly come before the closure.

"It's true, it's said that the price was asked, but Juventus refused." Mendiodo is now Yang Hao's ears, specializing in collecting intelligence, so he naturally will not miss this exciting news from Barcelona.

"How much does it cost?" Yang Hao was surprised.

Don't look at Barcelona's mix in the past two years, in fact, they are really not as rich as Real Madrid.

Historically, there has been a bit of debt.

"The transfer fee of 40 or 50 million euros, the most important thing is the annual salary, I am afraid it will be 8 million euros."

Yang Hao was speechless.

That's a bit outrageous.

Juventus' refusal was also a matter of course.

Buffon is Juventus's merit in the end, especially now, the team has returned to Serie A and reached the Champions League, Buffon can be regarded as a successful retirement, and the age is there.

In this case, if someone is really willing to pay this money, Juventus is still happy.

Mendiodo talked about some rumors about this transfer outside, and Yang Hao felt that it was very credible.

If Barcelona didn't blink and directly bought Buffon, it would definitely not be credible.

Barcelona don't have that kind of financial resources.

On the contrary, it is like now, which proves that Barcelona really want to buy.

Their current situation is like working hard, raising money to buy a house, and after buying, they have to live a life of careful planning and searching every day, for fear that they will suddenly not be able to repay the mortgage.

Luckily for Barcelona, they bought a second-hand school district house that was some years old.

At the very least, there is a guarantee.

If it is like the one who wrote football that Yang Hao met at the starting point in his previous life, the old man surnamed Chen hit the street, hollowed out his belongings, bought a house in the urban area, and bought a special off-plan house, and it took three years to deliver the house, a lot of promises were not fulfilled, and then he had to decorate, and he would ask for property fees and parking space rents every month......

All smashed down, the pressure is huge!

But he was also unlucky enough to encounter the sudden illness of his old mother at home, and he emptied all his savings, not to mention, and borrowed a lot of foreign debts.

Speaking of which, Yang Hao still felt that friend was quite pitiful.

If it were now, he would throw a few million dollars at him every minute to help him get out of trouble quickly.

It's a pity......

I don't know what happened to his new book.

Before he crossed over, the hapless kid had written a new book, threw himself into the basement, felt a little slumped, and muttered all day that he was going to the park and jumping in the lake......

It's really not a brother, I don't want to help you, it's really that you were born in the wrong time and space!

If you cross with me, I will open you a 1.8 million every month, and you still need to have a headache about money?

Isn't it money!

……

Since it was before the transfer market closed, the transfer between the two sides went very efficiently.

Mendes is also said to have been involved in the deal and negotiations for the transfer.

In the end, Barcelona signed Buffon from Juventus for 45 million euros.

This shocked the whole of European football once again.

Proper final madness!

In a summer, nearly 200 million was spent, and Barcelona's transfer investment was not large enough.

At the same time, he also showed his ambition to win three championships.

Catalan media revealed that after Buffon's transfer to Barcelona, his annual salary reached 8 million euros, which belongs to the first tier in the Barcelona team.

Buffon gave an interview to the Italian media after deciding to move to Barcelona.

The Italian goalkeeper said, "I am willing to go to Barcelona, in addition to personal reasons, I still hope to help Juventus. ”

"With this money, the club can assemble a championship squad."

This has also caused a heated discussion in the entire European football world.

Everyone basically believes that Barcelona's signing of Buffon for 45 million is indeed a very bold decision.

As for the prospects of Buffon after joining Barcelona, they are generally optimistic.

After all, Buffon's age and quality are there, and there is no problem adapting to Mourinho's tactics.

And the day before Buffon's transfer to Barcelona, that is, on the 30th, in the first round of La Liga, Barcelona lost 0-1 away to promoted Manumancia, and Valdés made another mistake.

It is reported that it was Valdés' mistake that prompted Barça's final decision to sign Buffon.

……

On the evening of August 31, in the first round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Malaga.

Playing at home, Atletico suppressed their opponents from the start.

It was Malaga's first game since returning to La Liga, and they were a bit embarrassed and exhausted.

Atletico Madrid played this game as much as possible.

Just three minutes into the game, Torres created chances in the box and Andres Iniesta's shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

Just three minutes later, Torres burst into the box with the ball and fell, but the referee did not award a penalty.

The Sheets attacked in succession and in the 19th minute, it finally paid off.

Fernando Torres, who had been very active at the start of the game, finally broke the game when he played the ball in the box, and Kaka burst into the right side of the box and fired into the far corner to open the scoring for Atletico.

1 to 0!

And what is unexpected is that only 6 minutes later, Kaka sent a pick-up pass, Messi stopped the ball on his chest, got rid of the defender and burst into the right side of the penalty area, and lightly deducted Malaga central defender Guadrado, and volleyed with his right foot, another city for Atletico Madrid, 2-0!

The game completely turned into show time for Atletico.

Playing away from home, Malaga is obviously unable to cope with Atletico Madrid, who are like wolves at home.

In the 32nd minute, Andres Iniesta's direct pass, David Silva slanted into the left rib of the penalty area, stopped the ball past the attacking goalkeeper, and sent the ball into the goal again, 3-0!

The entire Emirates Stadium is in complete boiling!

Countless Atletico fans are scrambling to shout.

Until the 44th minute, when the first half was about to end, after Atletico Madrid's midfield broke the ball, Kaka advanced with the ball and sent a direct pass, Torres burst into the right rib of the penalty area and scored with a low shot 8 meters in front of the goal, 4-0!

The first half ended with Atletico taking a 4-0 lead.

Yang Hao was full of praise for the performance of the players at halftime, but he also repeatedly reminded the players that they must seize the opportunity, continue to put some pressure on the opponent, and not slack off.

At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid attacked through a wave of attacks, Kaka hit a furious shot from the edge of the box, which was saved by the goalkeeper.

But just when the more than 70,000 Atletico Madrid fans at the Emirates Stadium sighed, Messi appeared in the penalty area like a ghost, easily hit the shot, and sent the ball into the goal again, 5-0!

Brace!

The Argentine youngster was so excited that he jumped up.

The Atletico fans at the scene were equally excited.

They never imagined that in the opening game of the league, the team would play such an excellent form.

Malaga conceded five goals in a row, but also became angry and began to launch a desperate counterattack.

But Atletico's defence is well organised.

Although Malaga also created chances, Moroccan striker Nabil Baja's header was held directly by Neuer and could not form the back of the net.

And with Málaga attacking in succession, the back line made another mistake.

Atletico played a quick counter-attack but couldn't threaten it.

However, after receiving a return pass from a teammate, Iniesta suddenly made a pick and kick to the back of the goal, and Alves quickly inserted it and hit the goal with a header.

6 to 0!

This made Yang Hao look a little stunned on the sidelines.

Alves' height, also scored a header?

It's really very rare.

And the main thing about this ball is that the defensive players are pulled away by the running position of the offensive players of Atletico, causing them to show their flaws.

Just five minutes later, Patrice Evra burst into the box and fired a shot that was saved by the goalkeeper, before David Silva caught up on the left and picked up a cross to the middle of the net, where Fernando Torres headed in front of the goal to extend the score again.

7 to 0!

Brace!

Torres' performance in this game was also quite eye-catching.

After consecutive goals, Yang Hao began to make substitutions from the 60th minute.

Luis Suarez, Angel Di Maria and Luka Modric came on in quick succession, replacing Fernando Torres, Kaka and Lionel Messi.

When the three players came off the pitch, they were greeted with a round of applause from the Atletico fans.

Málaga also tried to play an attacking attack through successive substitutions, hoping to score a goal to save face, but in the end they couldn't find the back of the net for Atletico.

Instead, in the 81st minute, Suarez had a chance to push in front of goal, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Malaga 7-0 at home and made a good start to the new season!

……

Win the first battle!

Especially Atletico Madrid, a 7-0 victory, shocked the whole of Spain.

But the first round is not destined to be a lucky day for the strong teams.

After Barcelona's away defeat to promoted Manumancia, Real Madrid lost 2-1 away to Deportivo La Coruna.

Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a goal for Super Laco in the 26th minute, and although Cristiano Ronaldo equalised, Real Madrid eventually conceded again and suffered another defeat at the Stadio Riazo.

Since Ruud van Nistelrooy moved to Deportivo La Coruna, the Dutch centre-forward has scored goals almost every time he has met Real Madrid.

Didier Deschamps' side is now a disaster for Real Madrid.

Arsene Wenger said after the game that this was the first game of the new season for Real Madrid and that the team had not yet found the rhythm and form of the league.

"I'm sure we can get better and better as the season goes on."

Valencia, on the other hand, beat Real Mallorca 3-0 at home thanks to goals from David Villa, Juan Mata and Vicente.

Espanyol also beat Valladolid 1-0 at home.

However, Sevilla drew 1-1 away at Racing Santander and Villarreal drew 1-1 away at Osasuna.

On the whole, the competition in La Liga in the new season is still very fierce.

Especially the defeat of the two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, makes people see the cruelty of La Liga.

Atletico are as consistent as ever, sitting at the top of the table with a goal difference of seven.

Valencia followed with three goal differences.

Although the first round of matches was uncountable, everyone also saw the chaos and intensity of La Liga.

Marca even devoted a full page to the milestones of the season for La Liga.

"In the first round of the first season of the new broadcast contract, La Liga made everyone's eyes shine!"

I changed it at 18 o'clock, but it may have been blocked by intelligent auditing, and I didn't pay attention to it myself, sorry sorry! Will be more careful in the future.
