The third round of La Liga was very chaotic.

Deschamps' Deportivo lost 3-2 at home to Espanyol.

After two years of accumulation, the strength accumulated by the Spaniards finally began to explode, and now they really have the strength to impact the European theater.

Rayo Vallecano, who had won two consecutive games in the previous game, was taught by Aragonés to be a man in Real Mallorca this round.

La Liga is La Liga in the end, and the promoted horses still can't be too nervous.

And it was a terrible loss, 0-4!

The duel between Aguirre and Aragonés is very interesting.

Villarreal lost 3-2 away to Athletic Bilbao, with international centre-forward Llorente netting a brace and Javi Martinez netting the winner.

Obviously, they all heard Yang Hao's appeal.

Moreover, there are very few Basque Lions internationals, there is no European impact in midweek, and it seems reasonable to play at home and wait for work, and beat Villarreal with a dull stick.

Valencia beat Sporting Gijón 4-0 at home.

Carlo Ancelotti's side continued their winning streak with three straight wins.

Real Madrid relied on Cristiano Ronaldo's brace at home to beat promoted Mahres 5-0 at home.

The finale was Barcelona at home against Atletico Madrid.

……

On the evening of September 20, the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

In the 3rd round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Barcelona away.

The first half of the game was about to end, and the score was still 0-0.

Jose Mourinho was more than happy with the result.

Although Barcelona's several counterattacks failed to break through Atletico's defense, at least they didn't let the Sheets break through Barcelona's defense, which is a very good result.

Jose Mourinho was defensive throughout the first half.

Up front was the trident combination of Samuel Eto'o, Carlos Tevez and Arjen Robben, and the main action was a sharp counter-attack.

Atletico Madrid mainly controls the ball, constantly organizes and plans offensives, and takes the initiative to attack.

After two years, Barcelona fans have actually become accustomed to the team's counter-attacking tactics, and they are also clearly aware that with the current team's line-up, playing defensive counter-attacking is the best choice.

That's how Mourinho played.

Therefore, in this battle, although Barcelona is fighting at home, it still sacrifices a three-back style of play.

Although Yang Hao's team kept attacking from the beginning, it was never able to break through Barcelona's defense.

The whole scene was similar to the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup in South Africa.

Therefore, Barcelona fans have been waiting for the birth of "surprise" throughout the first half.

That's when the players up front suddenly had a flash of inspiration and played a threatening counter-attack to break through the Atletico goal.

But Yang Hao obviously also learned the lessons of the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, and he was not too greedy for success, but played relatively steadily.

As a result, several counter-attacks by Barcelona failed to form a threat.

There was a bit of a stalemate on the scene, and it wasn't very good.

Even kicked a little intermittently.

Barcelona are always trying to cut off the Atletico players' passes and possession of the ball to prevent them from forming a continuous attack.

Atletico Madrid's players expected to hit Barcelona's iron wall early on, and the players played more patiently this time.

Defensively, the backline combination led by Thiago Silva also ensured the solidity of the backline.

The team put all the strength in there, kept pushing forward, kept adding bricks to it, and waited patiently for an opportunity.

A chance to break the game!

No one knows when such an opportunity will come.

It could be a whimsical pass, an aimless shot, an inexplicable cross, or a seemingly harmless dribble forward.

It's like in the 43rd minute, Kaka advanced with the ball this time.

At this moment, no one in the world would have thought about what Kaka's dribbling could do.

Barca's two lines of defence are in place and the defenders are on standby.

It can be said that Barca's defense is neat.

At this time, what can Kaka's dribbling push do?

The big deal is to apply a little pressure and send it back after hitting the wall.

Just like the previous few times when I drove the ball forward.

But what's interesting about football is that it's unique every time.

……

When Kaka cut in quickly on the right flank, crossed the halfway line and received Alves' cross, there was an open space in front of him.

The Brazilian didn't hesitate and rushed quickly with the ball.

Messi also cut forward on the right line.

When the two men rushed into the 30-metre area of Barcelona at the same time, Kaka split the ball to the right side.

At this time, Abidal quickly grabbed and ran towards Messi.

Messi did not stop the ball, but in front of Abidal, he took the first step to dunk the ball and cut in laterally.

Kaka, on the other hand, continued to cut forward along the right rib to attract the attention of Thiago Motta and Muntari.

With Kaka sprinting forward and Abidal on the top, both Thiago Motta and Muntari are on the lookout for Kaka hitting the right area behind Abidal.

This is Atletico's best attacking combination.

Once Kaka is rushed, Messi passes to the right and Kaka crosses underneath.

Messi, meanwhile, smashed the ball and cut inside laterally to take Abidal away, while Alves stepped in at a faster pace.

That forced both Thiago Motta and Muntari to help Abidal plug the hole on the left side of the defence.

The end result was that Thiago Motta and Muntari were forced to retreat to the edge of the penalty area by Kaka's movement, which created plenty of space for Messi's lateral inward cut.

The Argentine cut inside with the ball all the way, but was always stuck to the right by Abidal, blocking his way to turn and move forward.

At this time, Iniesta ran from the right rib to pick up Messi.

The Argentine immediately passed the ball and ran diagonally towards the middle of the arc.

Iniesta took two lateral steps before passing the ball straight forward to Kaka's feet.

On the right side of the edge of the penalty area, Kaka turned his back to the attacking direction and crossed Iniesta's pass diagonally to the right side of the front of the arc, just right on Messi's forward route.

At this time, Abidal chased Messi all the way.

Further on, the five defenders of Juanfran, Bruno Alves, Puyol, Thiago Motta and Muntari were almost close to the line of the big penalty area, lined up.

Torres was heavily guarded by Bruno Alves and was kept out at the top of the arc with his back to the attack.

Messi caught up with Kaka's pass and kicked the ball straight to Torres, reaching straight ahead and quickly cutting in between Puyol and Thiago Motta.

Torres made a clever block with his foot, and Messi's pass immediately changed direction, passing between Bruno Alves and Puyol and into the right side of the penalty spot.

Buffon was shocked and immediately abandoned the door.

And almost at the same time, the entire Camp Nou stadium also heard the exclamations of Barcelona fans.

I saw Messi plug in as fast as he could, grab ahead of Buffon, and pick it out.

Although the Argentine was brought down by Buffon's ferocious attack, lost his balance and pounced forward, the ball was still raised high by him, past Buffon's header and into the unguarded goal.

"I ...... Target...... Oh, God!!!! ”

"Atletico have created another goal as a work of art!!"

"Wonderful! It's wonderful! ”

The moment Messi's volley fell to the bottom of the Barcelona goal, the entire Camp Nou stadium was in an uproar.

Everyone looked incredulous.

Especially the on-site commentator of the broadcast, he couldn't help but exclaim.

'That's the goal we want to see the most! That's what football is all about! ”

"Every pass is worth savoring, every run is worth scrutiny."

"What we saw was not just the fantastic footwork and technique of the Atletico players, but also their unrivalled chemistry and quick brainstorming."

"We can definitely imagine that it was a play on the spot, not a premeditated one."

"But it's precisely because of this that it's so precious."

"Only Atletico can always put on such a spectacular goal!"

"Atletico Madrid trained by Yang Hao can not only impact the championship, but also shock the hearts of all fans."

"Just use their fantastic attacking football!"

When the live broadcast camera switched to the sidelines, it could be clearly seen that at the moment when Messi picked up the goal, Yang Hao was so excited that he knelt down in the coach's command area, clenched his hands into fists, and cheered loudly over there.

In front of the home team's coach's bench, Mourinho held his head in his hands, looking very confused and distressed.

At the same time, it was very painful.

Previously, in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona at least scored the first goal and was reversed.

But now?

Towards the end of the first half, it was Atletico who scored.

So how do you play in the second half?

Get out and press Atletico Madrid to attack?

Don't be funny, buddy!

That's Atletico!

……

"I have a big doubt, what is the deep hatred between Messi and our Barcelona?"

Mourinho turned his head in distress and went to the home team's dugout, asking his assistants with a puzzled expression.

But there is a huge coaching staff, and no one can give an answer.

Yes, why does Messi hate Barcelona so much?

"I always feel that every time this kid touches our Barcelona, it's like beating chicken blood, is it what we owe him in our last life? Or was he abandoned by Barcelona? ”

Everyone was puzzled.

Before Messi went to Atletico Madrid, it was said that he thought about contacting Barcelona, but he contacted him through his agent, and there was no progress at all, so he couldn't talk about being abandoned, right?

"According to the media, it is said that when he first came to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona scolded Yang Hao, and the person Messi respects the most is Yang Hao, so ......"

"Just for this little thing, he holds a grudge until now?" Mourinho found it incredible.

That's too far-fetched, isn't it?

Could it be that he is small in size and small in heart?

"You know, without Yang Hao, there would be no Messi now." Faria smiled wryly.

For Messi's experience, it is difficult to guess with ordinary people's thoughts.

Perhaps, in his mind, Yang Hao is a god-like existence.

In fact, Yang Hao's status is now so lofty in the hearts of Atletico Madrid players and fans.

"Seriously, every time I touch Atletico, I have to do everything I can to stop Messi, but I still can't find an effective way."

Jose Mourinho was also distressed.

He has already guarded Messi to this extent, but he has still been exploited.

It's like the ball just now, how to defend it?

It's all a one-kick pass, the players are so skillful with each other, and the movement is so shrewd, the defenders really can't defend it.

Unless, foul.

But in hindsight, it certainly deserves a foul.

But what about standing in front?

There are five people in the backline, and the midfielder is also there, so is it necessary to foul on the edge of the penalty area at this time?

If you have to commit a foul every time you encounter such a situation, is there too many free kicks from outside the box at Atletico?

When the time comes, will it be easier for Messi to hit the goal?

The Argentine's direct free-kicks are also getting more and more powerful.

Thinking of this, Mourinho felt a pain in his head.

It's so hard!

"What's next?" Faria asked, embarrassed.

Mourinho closed his eyes and shook his head, he didn't know what to do now.

Playing with Atletico Madrid?

Or do you continue to wait for your chance?

No matter how you choose, there are reasonable reasons, but they all seem to be wrong.

……

At the start of the second half, there were not many bright spots for either side.

It can even be said that there is none.

After taking a one-goal lead, Atletico tried to take the initiative to close the kick.

Yang Hao's purpose is to hope that Mourinho can attack, in this way, for Atletico Madrid, there will be more space to attack, which is also the usual tactic after taking the lead.

But what about Mourinho?

I was a little more active, but I didn't dare to press it out, so I still played very cautiously.

As a result, neither side was able to form good chances at the beginning of the game.

Barca's defensive strategy is still very clear, attacking and counter-attacking are handed over to the front trident, giving full play to the threat of Tevez, Robben and Eto'o, as for the backline......

Limiting Atletico's attacking space is still the number one priority.

It looks contradictory, and it's a bit tangled to kick.

As a result, Barcelona's players have never been able to play a decent offensive on the pitch.

After 10 minutes, he switched to defense again.

Atletico Madrid attacked again after 10 minutes, seeing that Barcelona did not think about pressing out to play.

However, after taking a one-goal lead, Atletico Madrid also played more safely.

It wasn't until the 70th minute that Barcelona tried to strengthen their attacking front.

Mourinho wanted to organize more attacks through successive substitutions, especially with Cesc Fabregas.

But it was beaten by Atletico Madrid several times on the counter-attack.

Especially during a quick advance, Kaka sent a through pass, and after Messi's shot from the right side of the box was saved by Buffon, the whole Camp Nou was shocked.

I almost conceded again.

Although it was only 76 minutes by then, Mourinho was starting to find steady.

The ball and tempo were under Atletico's control from start to finish, and Barcelona always struggled to play in a rhythm they were familiar with.

In the end, Atletico Madrid won 1-0 at Camp Nou with Messi's wonderful pick.

After the game, Atletico Madrid's goal was praised by the outside world.

Almost everyone agreed that this goal was comparable to the previous goal in the Spanish Super Cup, a work of art, and a goal that only Atletico Madrid can score.

When the whole process of scoring the goal was cut into a video and put on the oil turtle, it became a hot hit again.

……

Due to the World Cup in South Africa, all league fixtures have to be condensed this season.

After the third round of midweek, La Liga ushered in the fourth round of matches.

Real Madrid beat Villarreal 2-0 away thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Yaya Toure.

It was the most closely watched match day on the first matchday, and the two sides played very well, going head-to-head, but in the end it was the Yellow Submarine who were slightly outmatched.

In La Liga, the only team with the offensive strength to compete with Real Madrid is Atletico Madrid.

After losing 1-0 at home to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona went on the road and beat Racing Santander 2-1.

Diego Milito and Bruno Alves scored one goal each.

Among them, the Portuguese central defender scored a direct free kick from the edge of the big penalty area.

Bruno Alves' direct free-kick was quite impressive.

Atletico are back at home to face Almeria.

Messi has continued his excellent form so far this season.

Just 20 minutes into the game, he set up a goal for Fernando Torres.

3 minutes later, Modric assisted Messi to score another goal to expand the score to 2-0!

In the 25th minute, a corner kick opportunity, Torres's header was ferried, and Ramos scored from close range, 3-0!

After the rematch in the second half, in the 53rd minute, it was Modric's direct pass, Messi burst into the penalty area and hit the goal with his feet, expanding the score again, 4-0!

Almeria scored a face-saving goal just before the end of the game.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Almeria 4-1 at home, and Messi scored two shots and one pass, and was elected the best of the game.

……

At the weekend, La Liga ushered in the 5th round.

Real Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 3-0 at home.

The match was hailed as a mini-derby in Madrid, implying that Rayo Vallecano was also a team in the centre of Madrid.

It is worth mentioning that Rayo Vallecano has reached an agreement with the Municipality of Madrid to take over the La Pennetta Stadium on the eastern outskirts of the city and complete the construction of the stadium while retaining the stadium stands.

However, unlike Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid in his previous life, Rayo Vallecano's initial plan is to have a stadium capacity of just over 50,000 people, retaining the space and foundation for further expansion in the future.

This is also very much in line with Rayo Vallecano's current positioning.

After all, in Madrid, they don't have the fan base of Atletico and Real Madrid.

According to Rayo Vallecano's plan, when the construction of La Penneta is completed, Rayo Vallecano will move into the new stadium, and the original Rayo Vallecano will be demolished to build commercial housing.

It was also in this plan that Yang Hao heard that the Calso Group behind American Telecom is negotiating the acquisition of shares in Spain's FCC Construction Group, and once the two sides reach a deal, whether it is a new stadium project or a commercial residential project, the FCC Group will be responsible for the construction.

And the boss behind the Karso Group is Slim, the richest man in the world.

Yang Hao now has to admit that these rich people are really far-sighted and well-informed.

Who is like him?

One tendon is to identify Apple and Tesla.

Despite being backed by the world's richest man, Rayo Vallecano's investment is still subject to La Liga's scrutiny, and they are not willing to increase their investment with impunity.

This has led to a significant gap between them and Real Madrid in terms of overall strength.

This round was crippled by Real Madrid.

Karim Benzema scored a brace and Yaya Toure netted the third.

Sevilla beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0 away.

Barcelona beat Malaga 2-0 away.

Atletico Madrid drew 2-2 with the Bats in their away game against Valencia.

Although after the opening kick-off, the Sheets took the lead after only seven minutes thanks to Messi's goal.

But then, David Silva's clever pass and Torres' shot was saved by Cech like a god.

The Sheets Corps continued to launch offensives without stopping.

David Silva soon delivered another brilliant pass and Messi's shot from close range was blocked by Lucio.

After a long struggle, Valencia hit a quick counter-attack in the 27th minute when Nani sent in a cross from the right and Villa fired a low shot from the left side of the six-yard box past Atletico to equalise.

After the rematch in the second half, Atletico launched a series of attacks.

It was David Silva who hit the post with a shot and then Torres' follow-up effort was brilliantly saved by Cech.

But in the 56th minute, Atletico scored again.

Kaka's goal helped Atletico close the lead again.

But before the end of the game, Sneijder sent a wonderful pass, and Van Persie's goal equalized the score again.

In the end, the two sides drew 2-2.

As a result, after this round of matches, Real Madrid became the only team in La Liga to win five in a row, while Atletico Madrid was in second place with four wins and one draw.

……

September 29, Stadio Franqui, Florence, Italy.

In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid faced Fiorentina away.

In the words of Yang Hao's criticism of the Atletico players after the game, the game was played badly.

The first was the serious lack of pressing attack against Fiorentina throughout the first half.

This led to a result where Atletico were scoreless.

It looks like they have a clear advantage in passing and possession, but in reality they lack a really dangerous attack.

Yang Hao had already raised this question at halftime.

"If we had played more aggressively in the first half, it would have been over!"

But as a result, Atletico only Iniesta assisted Messi to score in the first half, leading 1-0.

The team's continuous battles, Yang Hao had to rotate, which also affected the state of the players to some extent.

But it can't be helped.

With the current intensity of La Liga's game, there are two games a week in a row, and the players can't bear it without rotation.

Even Messi, who played games continuously, in this game against Fiorentina, although he scored goals, the overall performance was not good.

In the last round against Valencia, he was like that.

Of course, the so-called poor is only relative to Messi himself, and he has now contributed consecutive goals.

In the second half, it was even more so.

Fiorentina defended well and were very threatening on several counter-attacks.

Luckily, Neuer was brave and made two good saves.

And Suarez came off the bench to receive an assist from Adriano to score the second goal for Atletico Madrid, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but it was already the 76th minute.

In the end, Atletico beat Fiorentina 2-0 away.

Although Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid were dissatisfied with this game, the outside world generally gave it a high evaluation.

On the one hand, the midfield advantage is very obvious, the overall strength basically suppresses Fiorentina, and the game process is very good.

Two goals, flashy cross-cutting attacks, these elements of Atletico were kicked out.

What's more, in the face of Fiorentina's dense defense, Atletico can score 2 goals, which is a strength in itself.

Multi-front combat, continuous rotation, can show such a performance, it is good enough!

……

October 3, 6th round of La Liga.

Deportivo La Coruna beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 away.

Barcelona narrowly beat Almeria 1-0 at home.

Both games on the first day were dull and even lackluster.

In the last round before the national team's training camp, the fatigue after continuous battles was reflected in this round of games.

Atletico are at home to Zaragoza.

Due to the poor performance in the Champions League before, the Atletico players were scolded by Yang Hao after the game, and all the games were in good spirits, entering the state from the beginning, and creating chances continuously.

In particular, just nine minutes into the opening period, Andres Iniesta burst into the left side of the penalty area with the ball and was knocked to the ground by former Atletico Madrid midfielder Gabi, and the referee refused to award a penalty.

Yang Hao didn't get angry, but looked at Gabi, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.

Actually, he really likes Gabi.

During Gabi's years at Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao has always focused on cultivating him.

But sometimes, a lot of things are really helpless.

At Atletico Madrid these days, it's hard to get a chance with a player like Gabi.

When Zaragoza was relegated, Yang Hao called Gabi, but Gabi told Yang Hao that unless he returned to Atletico Madrid, he was willing to accompany Zaragoza to La Liga and help Zaragoza return to La Liga.

And now, he's back.

Gabi is a loyal Atletico Madrid fan, but now he has to wear a Zaragoza shirt and play for Zaragoza on the pitch, even arguing with his former best team-mate Andres Iniesta in front of the referee over a penalty.

Sometimes it's really embarrassing to think about it.

The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Despite the penalty awarded, Atletico quickly seized the opportunity.

Xavi Alonso sent a quick tactical corner, Messi sent a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Ramos hit the goal with a header to open the scoring for Atletico Madrid, 1-0!

Just 5 minutes later, it was Gabi's foul on Iniesta at the edge of the penalty area, giving Atletico a chance for a direct free kick, and after Messi calmly took the penalty, he used a wonderful free kick to penetrate Carrizo's goal, 2-0!

In the 34th minute, when Messi cut inside with the ball on the right side, he suddenly sent a straight stopper, Torres successfully countered offside, scored a single goal, and expanded the score again, 3-0!

Before the end of the game, David Silva sent a through ball in the ribs, Torres pulled to the left side of the penalty area and knocked horizontally, Iniesta burst into the left side of the penalty area, received the ball and hit the goal, 4-0!

When Zaragoza refused to adopt conservative tactics, they were doomed.

After the rematch in the second half, Atletico continued to attack.

In the 54th minute, Messi picked up a ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area, which seemed to be a pass and fell towards the goal, which was blocked by goalkeeper Carrizo with one hand, and Torres followed up with a follow-up shot, 5-0!

Fernando Torres scored a brace!

Two minutes later, Andres Iniesta sent a brilliant pass after getting rid of three defenders in a row on the left flank, and David Silva burst into the left side of the box and struck the ball to extend the score to 6-0!

Then the game went straight into Atletico's time.

In the 69th minute, after Messi steals in the front, he quickly found Busquets, who came on as a substitute, and the two completed a beautiful cooperation, after Busquets received Messi's pass, he did it with his heel, and Messi formed a single knife near the penalty spot and broke through Zaragoza's goal, 7-0!

In the 80th minute, Iniesta sent a pass, Messi was still near the penalty spot, facing the attacking goalkeeper, a light pick, and scored again, 8-0!

Messi scored a hat-trick!

Towards the end of the game, Gabby sent a pass and Everton scored from an offside position.

8 to 1!

Atletico beat Zaragoza at home.

……

After playing the 6th round of La Liga, the duel between Messi and Ronaldo has once again become the focus of attention of the media and fans in La Liga and even around the world, and it is the main theme of the hype.

With Cristiano Ronaldo's brace, Real Madrid reversed Sevilla 3-2 away and won six consecutive victories.

It is also the only team in Europe to have won all of their games so far this season.

Atletico Madrid relied on Messi's hat trick to slaughter Zaragoza 8-1.

Both Madrid giants have shown strong momentum in this season's competition.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

The name of the peerless double pride has begun to sound.

Especially the Spanish media, they all hope to further hype up the current La Liga through this title.

Atletico and Real Madrid are both star-studded, especially Atletico.

But Messi stood out from the many superstars of the Sheets Army, and Ronaldo beat Ibrahimovic, Joaquin and other stars to become the current Real Madrid brother, which made everyone full of expectations for the showdown.

What's more, both superstars have shown superior attacking power.

Messi has scored 10 goals in six league games in La Liga this season.

The efficiency of such a goal is astonishing.

The most outrageous thing is that Ronaldo is not far behind.

After playing the 6th round of La Liga, French football magazine also announced the 30-man list for this year's Ballon d'Or.

Atletico Madrid have eight players selected: Messi, Kaka, Torres, Adriano, Iniesta, David Silva, Thiago Silva and Alves.

Of the 30 players, eight players are in the ranks, accounting for a quarter, which is enough to prove the influence of Atletico Madrid in the current European football scene, as well as the recognition of the Sheets Army by the media and fans.

Judging from the distribution of the list, 7 players were selected in the Premier League, 2 players from Inter Milan were selected in Serie A, no one was shortlisted in the Bundesliga after Dzeko was signed by Valencia, and no one was shortlisted in Ligue 1 after Benzema turned to Real Madrid.

That is, the Premier League and Serie A occupy a total of nine.

But La Liga has a full 21 players in the 30-man squad for the Ballon d'Or.

In addition to players from Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona, Valencia is also a big finalist for the Ballon d'Or, with Getafe shortlisted for Diego Forlan, Deportivo La Coruna for Diego, Espanyol for Arshavin, Sevilla for Fabiano and Villarreal for Aguero......

The overall trend in La Liga is still very strong.

In addition to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, many other teams also have their own stars.

As for this year's Golden Globe Awards, major media have also speculated.

From the current point of view, Ronaldo is indeed the biggest favorite.

Zidane previously said in an interview with Marca, "Ronaldo will win the European Ballon d'Or, not only for him, but also for Real Madrid." ”

As for Atletico's Messi......

"Yes, there is no doubt that Messi is in very good form, he set a lot of new records last season, even to the point where it scares all the teams, he will win the Ballon d'Or sooner or later, but not this year."

According to the analysis of Milan Sports Daily, Atletico Madrid's missed the Champions League is a key factor for Messi to lag behind Ronaldo in the battle for the Golden Ball, after all, Ronaldo's performance in La Liga is also quite outstanding.

……

After playing the 6th round of La Liga, it ushered in two weeks of national team breaks.

Since Spain has advanced to the World Cup finals in advance, Yang Hao has recruited a large number of young players in the past two weeks of training.

Including the likes of Javi Martinez, who have been doing well this season, and centre-forwards Llorente and Negredo.

In terms of arrangement, Yang Hao also arranged rotation and substitute lineups.

In the end, Spain beat Armenia 3-0 away.

This was followed by a 5-1 away win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

There is actually nothing to say about Spain, but what Yang Hao really focuses on is Argentina.

He is worried that Messi will be blamed again by Argentine fans and the media.

Maradona's team is still so unreliable, but at critical moments, Argentina's heritage still holds the lower limit of this team.

It's just that after holding it, Yang Hao doesn't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

In two crucial matches, Argentina beat Peru 2-1 at home.

Maradona magically fielded a 442 diamond midfield in this game, with Aimar as the front midfielder, and Messi and Higuain as the two strikers.

In the end, it was Gonzalo Higuain and substitute Palermo who scored a goal each.

In the away game against Uruguay, Argentina also played lacklusterly, but in the end, it was with Boratti's goal that they defeated Uruguay 1-0 away.

Messi continued his poor run with the national team, but he didn't get too much blame as Argentina managed to turn things around and qualify for the World Cup finals.

According to the news sent to Yang Hao by the Spanish Football Association, in November, Argentina will go to Spain for training.

Maradona seemed to want to have a face-to-face "exchange" with Yang Hao, so the two sides arranged a friendly match.

Spain's other friendly opponent is Austria.

……

After two weeks of international breaks, La Liga ushered in the seventh round.

Deportivo La Coruna beat Sevilla 1-0 at home.

Real Madrid beat Valladolid 4-2 at home.

Valencia were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Jose Mourinho's Barcelona.

Atletico beat Osasuna 3-0 away on matchday.

Torres had little to do with the national team and was in good form, scoring a brace in this round.

Suarez scored after coming on as a substitute.

In the end, the Sheets beat Osasuna by three goals away.

After seven rounds, Real Madrid led the way, slashing 21 points, followed by Atletico Madrid with 19 points.

……

20 October, Emirates Stadium, Madrid.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid hosted Lyon.

Not long after the start of the game, Atletico suffered a terrible blow.

Kaka fell to the ground while scrambling with opposition midfielder Tulalang and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.

Although Kaka returned to the field immediately, in the 15th minute, the Brazilian finally couldn't hold it anymore and took the initiative to ask to go off.

According to the diagnosis of the Atletico team doctor, the preliminary estimate is that it is a muscle strain, which is caused by a physical collision with the opponent during the game.

There's really no way around it.

No matter how good and perfect Atletico's medical system is, it is impossible to avoid players from having physical confrontation with each other in the game, and as long as there is physical confrontation, there is inevitably a risk of injury.

Yang Hao was also quite speechless about this.

Luka Modric, who was substituted on an ad hoc basis, took Kaka's place, but Atletico's overall rhythm was disrupted.

It wasn't until the 45th minute that Evra's cross from the left and Adriano scored with a header to break the deadlock on the field for Atletico Madrid, 1-0!

After the second half changed sides and fought again, as soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid launched a fierce attack on Lyon's left side of Ali Sissoko, Messi broke through and completed a cross, and Evra, who was unguarded at the back point, shot angrily and broke through Lyon's goal, expanding the score to 2-0!

After that, the game went to a stalemate.

Lyon sniped Atletico with a defensive counter-attack, while the Sheets were trapped by Messi and contained.

In the 72nd minute, Lyon first took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to cause Neuer to attack, and after the ball was played, Tulalang and Macuhn's successive kicks were saved by Neuer and saved the ball.

But in the end, it was the unguarded Glarons, who scored with a header and scored a goal for Lyon, 1-2!

But in the 85th minute, it was also a corner.

After Adriano's header was crossed, Thiago Silva headed the ball into the Lyon goal unguarded.

3 to 1!

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated the visiting Lyon 3-1 at home with Adriano's pass and shot, won three consecutive wins in the group, and almost grabbed the right to qualify for the first place in the group with one hand.

For the Sheets, as long as they don't lose against Lyon in France two weeks later, they will basically finish top of the group.

At the post-match press conference after playing Lyon, many people were more concerned about Messi.

After playing two national team games, Yang Hao arranged for Messi to rest in rotation, but when he played Lyon, Messi's performance was not very good, although there were also several bright performances, but on the whole, lackluster.

Especially after Kaka was injured, Messi, as the most expected player in the team, did not play as expected.

In the words of the media, "Messi seems to have brought his malaise in Argentina to Atletico Madrid." ”

In this regard, Yang Hao scoffed.

He said there was no problem with Messi's quality.

"Talk to Messi? No, I don't think it's necessary, I don't have any worries about him. ”

'The only problem with him is that he's played too many games in a row, both physically and mentally, he's in a very tired state and he needs to rest.

This may seem paradoxical.

After all, after Messi came back from the national team, he has already taken a league break, and now he has to take another break?

Why?

'He's not got the FIFA virus, he's not got any other injuries, he's got a new type of Maradona virus, he's under too much pressure in the national team, and when he goes home to play two games, it's like he's been skinned.

But Yang Hao said with great certainty, "All of us will help him get through the difficulties!" ”
