Roslargus, the name of a park on the western outskirts of Madrid.

The park is located at the foot of a hill that is one of Spain's most prestigious and wealthy districts.

Even the security guard box at the entrance at the foot of the mountain is very tall.

The whole park is like a private garden in the community, and they are called Roslagus.

This luxury community on a hill is famous for its Atletico players, and Atletico manager Yang Hao first bought a plot of land here and hired design masters like Herzog and David de Meuron to design a villa for him.

Later, more and more Atletico Madrid players settled here.

From Kaka to Torres to Messi, the likes of Andres Iniesta, Xavi Alonso and Sergio Ramos have moved into the neighbourhood.

It is close to Atletico Madrid's Mahata Hongda training base and has a full range of facilities, which is naturally popular with Atletico players.

Real Madrid's players like to live in Lafinca, just three kilometres north of Roth Lagos.

The two clubs are located on the western outskirts of Madrid.

Because of the Atletico players, the community is particularly popular, and almost every day there are media reporters squatting at the door of the community.

Especially in the past few days, there are reporters squatting at the door of the community 24 hours a day, just to see, has Xiao Mill, the editor-in-chief of the French football magazine, come?

As soon as Chaumer arrived in Madrid, Yang Hao received the news.

Along the way, people kept reporting his itinerary, including the license plate number of the taxi he was sitting in, and Yang Hao was clear.

But Shawmill didn't come to Roslagus.

Instead, he went to Lafinca to the north.

Cristiano Ronaldo lives there.

After confirming that Xiao Mill had gone to Lafinca, Yang Hao sat on the sofa in the living room, closed his eyes, and thought about many things.

The Ballon d'Or in '09 and the World Footballer of the Year were supposed to belong to Messi!

But everything has changed!

Yang Hao can't describe the feeling now, as well as his mood at this moment.

He has put a lot of effort into the likes of Torres, Kaka, Adriano and Messi, and he has high hopes for these players.

He has produced three Golden Balls, Torres, Kaka and Adriano.

From 03 to the present, 6 Golden Balls and 6 World Footballer of the Year belong to Yang Hao's disciples, and they are now all in Atletico Madrid.

What a sight!

But now, the Ballon d'Or that should have belonged to Messi, and even the next World Footballer of the Year, are now gone.

Yang Hao felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Is Messi strong?

He is definitely stronger than Yang Hao in his previous life.

Does he deserve the Ballon d'Or?

Definitely deserved!

Last season, Atletico Madrid won eight consecutive La Liga titles in a record-breaking way, and Messi broke many historical records, and for this reason, he won the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, which is deserved.

But what about Ronaldo?

La Liga runner-up, not much worse than Messi, and a Champions League champion!

In terms of personal performance and team honors, Ronaldo deserves to win the award.

It's not really a big deal.

For everyone, it may be a bit controversial, but understandable.

What Yang Hao is really entangled with is not whether Ronaldo deserves to win the award, but the award that originally belonged to Messi, which is gone!

This is the butterfly effect he brings!

Thinking of this, Yang Hao got up from the sofa, took his coat, and walked straight to the door.

He was busy every day, especially after coaching the Spanish national team, and he didn't even have time off time.

In fact, it is ashamed to say that he has lived here for so many years, and he basically drives in and out and directly into his garage.

What is the greening and roads of the community, he is all looking at the flowers, and he has not taken it seriously.

Where there is a lake, where there is a landscape, where there is a garden......

He really didn't know.

But where his players live, he knows best.

It's almost December, and it's cold outside.

After Yang Hao went out, the whole person was much more energetic.

He walked west along the road in the neighborhood and reached the end of the road.

How so?

Messi is actually a very nostalgic person.

Originally, he just bought a piece of land here to build a villa, but when his salary increased, he bought an extra piece next door and built an extra one, separated by a path in between.

Here he lives with his little girlfriend Antonella, who is still attending university in Madrid.

On the other side are his parents, brothers, and family who live.

Yang Hao walked slowly all the way to the door of Messi's house and rang the doorbell of his house.

"Boss?"

Antonella's shouts came from the video doorbell, and she followed Messi's example.

Immediately afterward, a rush of doors was heard.

They are the same as Yang Hao, they all hire professional housekeeping companies, regularly come to take care of housework and landscaping, etc., but they do not hire nannies, and many things are done by themselves.

Including things like opening doors.

In his previous life, when Yang Hao was still coding words, he often wrote about similar plots, and he felt that the rich man's home should be a nanny on call 24 hours a day, but now he feels that this is seriously out of reality.

Because, the cost of hiring a babysitter is too high.

The cost here is not a matter of money, but something else.

For example, character, whether it is easy to use, and so on.

In his previous life, Yang Hao would have felt that Brother Wu Fly's family changed to a Filipino maid until he was blacklisted, which was too picky.

But now, he will feel that if he goes to hire a nanny, he will probably be blacklisted.

In contrast, more money and less money are the most insignificant.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Messi ran out to open the door for him.

"Come and see you." Yang Hao smiled faintly.

Messi invited Yang Hao in, closed the door, and said with a smile, "I'm playing a game with Angel, just now Sergio, Eddy and Kaka called, and they all said that they want to come over to play, and we plan to play a few more games tonight." ”

When Yang Hao heard this, he immediately understood that they had all received the news.

Actually, it's not hard to guess.

Shomir came, but did not call Messi, which proves that the person who won the award is not Messi.

If it's not Messi, it can only be Cristiano Ronaldo.

"He's gone to Lafinca." Yang Hao walked beside Messi and said softly.

Messi was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded, "Guessed, the Champions League still has weight after all." ”

The Argentine pretended to smile at Yang Hao with relief, as if he didn't care very much.

Yang Hao knew him, and the more he was like this, it proved that he was very disappointed in his heart.

"The press and public relations department has done its best, and according to the information I have received, the gap between you is very small, and it may even be between you."

Yang Hao also inquired around.

Messi nodded, he was still very confident in himself.

"We've been taking it for four years in a row, and a lot of people probably think that we can't keep doing this."

This is Yang Hao's speculation, and he did hear such a voice, but there is no official evidence to show this.

It's not a surprise to think about it.

Whether it is the European Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer, they do not want to be monopolized by Atletico Madrid.

Messi was not in a hurry to enter the door, and accompanied Yang Hao to walk slowly in the courtyard.

He knew that Yang Hao told him this, in fact, he wanted to comfort him.

"Boss, don't worry, I've been prepared for a long time, if I can't get it this year, I'll work harder, and I must take it down next year!"

What really makes Yang Hao feel a thorn in his heart is not whether Messi will win the Golden Ball Award, or when will he win the Golden Ball Award.

It's the Ballon d'Or that originally belonged to Messi, and it's gone.

This made Yang Hao feel ashamed.

He has always felt that he has been very good to Messi since he crossed over, but in the end, the Ballon d'Or that should have belonged to him is gone.

"With the kind of performance you had last season, if it had been in a different team, you would have won the Ballon d'Or." Yang Hao sighed heavily.

Messi is actually very smart, he immediately grasped the meaning of Yang Hao's words, and also understood the reason why Yang Hao suddenly came over tonight.

"Boss, if I were in another team, I would definitely not have the performance I have now, and I would have no chance of winning the award."

"No, with your talent and talent, no matter which team you go to, you will never perform badly."

"And who's going to know?"

Of course, Yang Hao was right.

"Boss, you don't need to worry about me, in fact, I have been mentally prepared, and I am not so fragile, if I can't get it this year, then I will work harder and strive to get it next year, as you said, as long as you perform well enough and are good enough, the other party has nothing to say."

"At that point, it will not be us who will compete for the Golden Globes, but the other way around, and the Golden Globes will need to be presented to us to prove its authority."

When Yang Hao heard this, he was somewhat stunned.

He didn't expect that Messi would comfort him in turn.

"I'm really good now, everything is fine, and then I'm going to put in a better performance, a better form, to prove myself, and at the same time not to disappoint you, the boss, and the rest of my teammates!"

Messi's words really put Yang Hao at ease.

……

When Yang Hao and Messi were talking in the garden, Torres, Ramos, Kaka and others also came.

They also live in the community, and they all received the news and rushed directly to Messi's house.

Shomir didn't come to Messi, that was to Lafinca.

Seeing that Yang Hao was also there, they were also very surprised.

As soon as they entered the house, a group of people began to chat.

Everyone knows in their hearts that Messi has not won awards for several years, and he still suffers from Atletico Madrid's losses.

After so many years in a row, it will definitely cause some surprises.

This year, Real Madrid won the Champions League and the Golden Ball Award was given to Ronaldo, which is also reasonable.

But everyone also promised that the next step must be to do their best to help Messi.

"The more they don't want us to take it, then we'll grab it, and use our best performance to grab it!"

"Not only to grab the next year, but also to grab the future, so that everyone has nothing to say!"

At the end, Ramos pulled Messi with a big grin and said with a smile: "Don't forget, you kid, you promised us back then, one person gave us one, and my room is all furnished, just waiting for your Ballon d'Or and World Footballer." ”

Ramos's words made everyone laugh.

Messi also felt the support and care of his teammates, and he also promised that he would definitely work harder.

Later, Iniesta, David Silva and others also came over one after another.

In the end, Ramos directly called and shook people, and simply got together at Messi's house.

The reasons are also very strong.

"The boss is here, it's okay to be late tomorrow morning!"

The crowd applauded.

……

Florentino is 62 years old.

On weekdays, at his age, even in Spain, he has basically fallen asleep.

But tonight, he's held on until now.

He was still sitting in the Real Madrid president's office at the Bernabeu, waiting for the latest news.

In the office, a lot of people are still working.

Because today something particularly important happened.

Shomill, editor-in-chief of the French football magazine, arrived, with his Ballon d'Or.

He did not inform Real Madrid, and directly contacted Ronaldo, and after coming to Madrid, he went directly to Ronaldo's home in La Finca, a western suburb of Madrid.

Real Madrid also found out after Ronaldo received a call from Shomill.

It was only later that a reporter from Madrid called.

'It turns out that it was the right thing to bring in Arsene Wenger to coach.

Florentino was very proud and proud of his choice.

After Arsene Wenger came to Real Madrid, he brought the Champions League, the Ballon d'Or, and the World Footballer of the Year.

This is definitely a big opportunity for Real Madrid.

'Nemanja Vidic is already integrating into the team and is in good shape at the moment, so as long as he remains consistent, he can still make a difference this season.' Butragueno analyzed on the side.

"Be careful, Atletico." Florentino reminded.

Now, as long as he thinks of Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid, he has a headache.

This team has brought too many nightmares to Real Madrid in the past few years.

Even so far this season, Real Madrid have only lost once, to Atletico Madrid.

In that game, Florentino went to the Emirates Stadium to watch it in person, 3-2, and Atletico Madrid won not easily.

Ronaldo's role in today's Real Madrid team is becoming more and more obvious.

"Atletico's main problem now is that the bench is not thick enough in certain positions, they have sold a lot of players over the years, although they have also produced a lot of young players, but in the end, it is still a little bit worse."

Butragueno pointed out Atletico's current problems.

For example, the side road.

David Silva and Lionel Messi did perform quite well, but Eden Hazard and Angel Di Maria still lacked shortcomings.

If Ribery hadn't gone to Manchester United and Robben hadn't gone to Barcelona, Atletico Madrid's lineup would not have been able to stop it at all.

There are Andres Iniesta, Kaka and Modric, and Toni Kroos is still a little more immature.

Not to mention Isco and Koke, both of whom are currently training in La Liga.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, is currently full of talent and has a very large squad.

On the front line, there are stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Joaquin, Robinho, Higuain, Benzema, and Raul.

The midfield also features stars such as Yaya Toure, Andrea Pirlo, Essien, Lars Diarra, Ballack and David Beckham.

Not to mention the backline, with Chiellini, Vincent Kompany, Samuel and Nemanja Vidic in central defence.

With Real Madrid's current squad configuration, looking at the world, who can compete?

Although Atletico Madrid has 3 Mr. Golden Balls and is a shining star, in terms of the overall strength and thickness of the squad, Real Madrid is the first in the world.

Moreover, they are all stars of the year of playing.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid's squad is too young.

While Florentino and Butragueno were talking, there was a knock on the door.

After getting Florentino's consent, José Sánchez pushed the door in.

"Gone?"

"As soon as I left, Cristiano just called me and sent people directly to the airport."

Jose Sánchez couldn't help but laugh.

It came and went in a hurry, and it was only a few hours from start to finish.

"We finally have the Golden Ball and the World Footballer of the Year again!" Florentino laughed.

Since Zidane retired and Ronaldo and Owen and others left Real Madrid, the Galacticos have not had a Mr. Golden Ball.

The reason is simple, from 03 to the present, all the Mr. Ballon d'Or are from Atletico Madrid.

When Adriano was successful at Inter Milan, Real Madrid wanted to bring him in, but the Brazilian center forward refused.

Now, he is back at Atletico.

But it doesn't matter, Real Madrid finally has their own Ballon d'Or!

"Tell me, what do you think?" Florentino looked at José Sánchez and asked.

The general manager of Real Madrid smiled and said: "In the next six months, I plan to make a big fuss about the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, we have half of Ronaldo's image rights, which is beneficial to both sides." ”

"So, in the next few days, I will talk to Mendes, come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible, and find a way to pull a wave of revenue, and strive to reach 550 million euros this year."

Florentino laughed again when he heard this, "It's a bit difficult." ”

"As a target, and Atletico are chasing too fast behind, the addition of Adriano this year has a very big boost for them, and I am worried that if it is not for the Ballon d'Or, it is likely to lose to them this season."

Florentino's face froze, he nodded, and sighed again.

Over the years, Real Madrid have consistently defended the top spot in the European club income rankings, but Atletico have also been in second place.

Real Madrid clearly feel the threat from Atletico.

Real Madrid was the first club to break 200 million euros, 300 million euros, and 400 million euros, but last season, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both broke 500 million euros, and Atletico Madrid was only a little worse than Real Madrid.

In a way, the revenue gap between the two clubs is negligible.

And you must know that Real Madrid finally won the Champions League, while Atletico Madrid stopped in the semifinals, purely from the perspective of bonuses, Real Madrid's European bonus is 20 million euros more.

In other words, leaving aside the European competition, Real Madrid is slightly inferior to Atletico Madrid in terms of business, match days, broadcast rights, etc.

This puts a lot of pressure on Real Madrid.

Therefore, Jose Sanchez's commercial department is also riveting and "dead" with Atletico Madrid.

Since on the pitch, you can't beat Atletico Madrid and win more titles, so you have to keep the title of European club revenue champion no matter what, and you must not give this to Atletico Madrid.

"Atletico Madrid's development in the past few years has been really fierce, and they have invested too much money in the past few years."

Florentino said this, and his face also showed admiration.

Although he had some relationship with Yang Hao, now, Atletico Madrid has been on par with Real Madrid, and even faintly surpassed Real Madrid, and the two sides have more cooperation.

So, a lot of things, Florentino has already let go.

"The Mahada Hongda training base has a cumulative investment of more than 200 million euros, not counting the land of the Emirates Stadium, the cumulative investment in the single stadium is more than 800 million euros, as well as two office buildings, two twin skyscrapers ......"

All of this, all taken into account, puts Atletico at least at least 2 billion euros into it.

2 billion euros!

If Atletico Madrid comes up with this money, what level of stars do they have to bring in?

How strong will their squad be now?

Florentino couldn't have imagined.

It can be said that Yang Hao's coaching has laid a solid foundation for Atletico Madrid.

By the time the Twin Towers were completed in 2010, Atletico's investment would come to an end, and the Sheets would be able to free up their hands and retain their players.

When that time comes, who else can stop Atletico?

"In any case, we must continue to maintain our advantage over Atletico Madrid in terms of revenue, and even strive to open the gap."

Florentino looked at José Sánchez with a solemn expression and solemnly admonished.

"As long as we continue to maintain our leading position in terms of revenue, we will have the leverage to continue to compete and compete with Atletico!"

Today's European football has entered the era of capital operation.

Player transfers are paid in installments and have even become capital games.

Revenue, in this case, is particularly important.

Even, only with high revenue, Real Madrid can afford to raise the current group of superstars.

……

On November 28, La Liga ushered in the 12th round.

There are two key matches in this round, namely Real Madrid's visit to Camp Nou and the challenge of Barcelona.

Atletico are at home to Espanyol.

Both matches were the focus of the match between the pinpoint and the man, which attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

On the first matchday of the national derby, Real Madrid played a thrilling battle away from home to Barcelona, and it was Obrahimovic's goal in the 56th minute that gave them a narrow 1-0 win away to Barcelona.

Lahm set up the Swedish centre-forward to open the scoring.

Jose Mourinho was very unhappy with the defeat and felt that the referee was obviously biased when enforcing the law.

Interestingly, Arsene Wenger was also very unhappy with the referee's enforcement during the game, believing that he was biased in favour of the home team.

That's where it gets interesting.

Both sides feel that the referee is biased in favor of the other, so what is the truth?

The match between Atletico Madrid and Espanyol was on the second matchday.

The Sheets played at home, showing strong attacking firepower from the start and keeping the Spaniards at bay.

Messi was quite good in this game.

In the 22nd minute, Di Maria broke through after dribbling the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and after entering the penalty area, he hit the goalkeeper and was saved by the goalkeeper, hitting the right post and rebounding out, Messi picked up the missed shot and hit, 1-0!

Just 5 minutes later, Messi completed a wall-hitting cooperation with Alves on the right side, burst into the right side of the penalty area, crossed with his feet, and Torres fired a low shot near the penalty spot, breaking through the Espanyol goal again, 2-0!

The Spaniards ended the first half with a score of 0-2, obviously resentful, and in the second half, they changed sides and fought again, playing a wave of attacks from the beginning to try to threaten Atletico's goal.

But in the 62nd minute, Messi broke through the Espanyol goal again with a direct free kick from the periphery of the penalty area, further expanding the score to 3-0!

In the 76th minute, Iniesta's kick at the edge of the penalty area, after being blocked by Juanito, fell on the right side of the penalty area, and after Messi stopped the ball at close range, he buckled the defender and scored a hat trick with a low left-footed shot into the near corner, 4-0!

And in the 89th minute, it was Messi, after taking the ball on the right side, after connecting 4 players, he burst into the penalty area and crossed, Di Maria easily scored at the back point, 5-0!

The whole Emirates Stadium is in complete madness!

Everyone knows that Messi is riveting and wants to prove his strength.

The media also broke the news that Shawmill, the editor-in-chief of the French football magazine, came to Madrid and the Golden Ball Award went to Ronaldo, and Messi's outburst undoubtedly made everyone see his deep dissatisfaction.

Hat-tricks, 2 assists, 5 goals directed by one man!

What could be a better performance than this?

What could be more convincing?

After the game, in recent years, Marca, which is closer to Atletico Madrid, has appealed for Messi in the media.

"Golden Globes, did you see that? Doesn't such a Messi deserve to win the award? ”

A large number of media outlets have also sent out inquiries.

After 12 rounds of league games and 17 goals, Messi's performance can be said to be completely jaw-dropping.

If Messi's current goal efficiency is followed, he is bound to score more than 40 goals this season, which is a new record in history!

Is such a player worthy of the Ballon d'Or?

……

Two days after the 12th round of La Liga, the French football magazine officially announced it.

The winner of the 2009 European Ballon d'Or was Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

And in second place is Messi, in third place is Torres, and in fourth place is Kaka.

In other words, although the Sheets Army did not take the first place, the three superstars all rushed into the top 5.

What's more, the gap between Messi and Ronaldo is really, really small.

In an interview with media reporters, Messi congratulated Ronaldo on winning the award, but at the same time he also said that he would work harder.

"I hope that by this time next year, I will receive good news!"

After Ronaldo won the European Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid also started the publicity machine, with overwhelming momentum, to promote and promote the Portuguese superstar, frantically celebrating the only Ballon d'Or award in the Real Madrid team, which quickly attracted attention around the world.

At the same time, Spain's Minister of Economy Elena Salgado once again reaffirmed the government's support for the development of professional football in Spain in an interview with media reporters.

With the tax reform of the Premier League, La Liga's low tax rate has become a unique sight in European football, so much so that the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany are all unhappy with the Spanish tax rate.

There are even media reports that they are putting pressure on Spain within the EU to try to get Spain to change its tax system.

It has also been said that Spain will adjust the personal income tax collection system for foreign workers.

This time, Elena Salgado revealed in an official interview that the reform of the tax system for foreign workers has indeed come out and that the tax incentives will be abolished.

That is, the so-called Beckham Act will cease to exist.

But Elena Salgado said that with the new round of economic crisis on the Spanish economy more and more impact, and the boom of professional football, the promotion and stimulation of the Spanish economy is also more and more obvious.

This is reflected in the tertiary sector, especially tourism.

"After our comprehensive investigation, we all believe that the cancellation of preferential tax policies will cause irreparable damage to Spanish football, so after multi-party consultation, we decided to continue to use the original preferential tax policies for Spanish football."

Elena Salgado said that the Ministry of Economy will also introduce a series of guiding policies, hoping to further strengthen the promotion and driving role of the Spanish professional football team in the domestic economy.

The Minister of Economy made a special calculation for everyone.

Taking professional football as an example, if the tax incentives are abolished, the current contracts will not be affected and they will continue to enjoy the preferential policies, which will inevitably discourage the enthusiasm of Spanish teams to recruit them.

It is equivalent to saying that the Spanish government will not get much benefit from the abolition of tax incentives, but it will seriously hit the development of the football industry and even bring more uncertainty.

Therefore, Elena Salgado said that after several reflections, the Ministry of Economy decided to continue to use the 24% preferential tax policy in the football industry, and also hoped that La Liga could play a more leading role.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for La Liga, so that all the teams, investors, players and agents who are waiting to see the Spanish government's support for La Liga.

In Yang Hao's previous life, the Spanish government began to cancel preferential tax policies in January 2010.

It wasn't until a few years later that it was re-executed, but Yang Hao forgot the specific year.

But now, they have only narrowed the scope of the offer, and they still enjoy the discount in football.

There was jubilation within La Liga.

La Liga also played a very important role in this communication with the government.

……

December 5, 13th round of La Liga.

Atletico beat Jerez 3-1 away thanks to a brace from Lionel Messi and a goal from Fernando Torres.

Real Madrid beat Almeria 4-2 at home.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just won the European Ballon d'Or, scored a brace in the game, with Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema scoring one each.

Barcelona narrowly beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-1 away.

Valencia beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 away.

……

On December 9, the 6th round of the Champions League group stage.

Since Atletico Madrid have already qualified first in the group ahead of schedule, the Sheets will play with a substitute and rotating lineup in this game.

Considering that it is a home game, Atletico Madrid also attaches great importance to it.

Fiorentina are currently tight on points with Lyon, with only two points separating the two teams at the moment.

The results of the two teams are one win each, both 1-0 at home.

Lyon host Debrezen, which means Fiorentina will have to do everything they can to beat Atletico.

Otherwise, Fiorentina will lose to Lyon on goal difference and be eliminated from the competition.

Because of this, Fiorentina played very aggressively on the road, and from the start they were dominated by the visitors, Prandelli tried to use Gilardino to defeat Atletico.

The Sheets, on the other hand, played to their advantage in passing possession, firmly controlling the ball and tempo.

It wasn't until the 43rd minute that Suarez's goal helped Atletico open the scoring.

The goal came from Adriano's assist.

Fiorentina launched a furious attack after the rematch in the second half, but in the 63rd minute, it was Adriano who provided the assist for Hazard's second goal.

Although, in the end, Gilardino also scored a goal for Fiorentina with the help of Peruvian left wing-back Juan Manuel Vargas, but in the end the Purple Lily lost 1-2 away to Atletico Madrid.

At the other stadium, Lyon thrashed Debretzen 4-0 at home.

As a result, Atletico Madrid qualified first in the group, Lyon won the second in the group, and Fiorentina was forced to go to the Europa League as the third in the group.

……

December 12, 14th round of La Liga.

Barcelona won 1-0 at home to Espanyol in the Barcelona derby thanks to Carlos Tevez's goal.

Real Madrid defeated Valencia 3-2 away with Cristiano Ronaldo's stunner after being equalized twice.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were tenacious, but in the 88th minute, they couldn't stop Cristiano Ronaldo from taking advantage of a corner kick and heading it home to complete a stunner.

Carlo Ancelotti was a little disappointed with the performance of the Bats after the game, believing that the home team had performed better and deserved to win.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, beat Villarreal 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Messi and Kaka.

Sergio Aguero scored a goal for the Yellow Submarine.

……

December 19, the 15th round of La Liga.

Atletico beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 away thanks to goals from Lionel Messi and Rayo Torres.

Valencia drew 0-0 away at Deportivo La Coruna.

Villarreal beat Racing Santander 2-0 at home.

Real Madrid beat Zaragoza 4-0 at home.

Barcelona beat Jerez 2-0 away.

At this point, all the games of La Liga in 2009 have been played.

After 15 league games, Real Madrid has a record of 14 wins and 1 loss in 15 games, scoring 42 points and ranking first in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid is second in La Liga with 15 games, 13 wins and 2 draws, with 41 points.

Barcelona followed with 36 points, followed by Valencia and Sevilla.

Although Atletico Madrid is second in the standings, in terms of performance, Atletico Madrid has scored 45 goals, ranking first in La Liga, and seven more than Real Madrid's 38 goals.

Defensively, Jose Mourinho's side have conceded just 10 goals, the most defensively solid in La Liga, while Atletico have conceded 12.

But Jose Mourinho's side have only scored 33 goals, which is not even as good as Carlo Ancelotti's Valencia.

From this, it can be seen that Atletico Madrid is one of the most attacking firepower and the most solid defense in La Liga.

However, due to 2 draws, Atletico Madrid is slightly inferior to Real Madrid in the standings.

In terms of individual performance, Messi scored 21 goals in 15 games, ranking first in the scorer list.

The Argentine's performances this season have been there for all to see.

In 15 rounds, Messi has scored in 13 rounds.

And in the last 8 rounds, Messi scored in a row, which also made the Argentine receive overwhelming praise and became the best player in Spain's first 15 rounds, not even one of them.

In front of Messi is another record, which is the record set and held by Ronaldo and the legendary Spanish goalscorer Martin for scoring in 10 consecutive games.

Messi is currently on 8 rounds and is only one step away from that record.

It is worth mentioning that in the 96/97 season, Ronaldo represented Barcelona in the exhibition, scoring 12 goals in 10 consecutive rounds, setting a record in La Liga.

But now?

Messi scored 11 goals in just eight rounds.

In other words, if Messi can catch up with Ronaldo and Martin's record of scoring in 10 consecutive games, then he will definitely be able to break the all-time record of 12 goals in 10 games set by Ronaldo.

……

Although Messi has performed quite well in La Liga this season, the two awards have been divided early.

Cristiano Ronaldo won the 2009 World Footballer of the Year award ceremony at the FIFA Awards Ceremony in Zurich, Switzerland on December 21 with his outstanding performance at Real Madrid.

He has also become another Ballon d'Or in La Liga since 05, after Kaka and Torres.

When Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, everyone basically concluded that the World Footballer of the Year basically belonged to the Portuguese.

The only thing worth mentioning is the Team of the Year.

Goalkeepers: Casillas;

Defence: Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, John Terry and Alves;

Midfielders: Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Kaka;

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres and Lionel Messi.

Atletico Madrid has 6 players in the final, Real Madrid has only 3, and Barcelona has only Xavi selected, who was selected for the outstanding performance of the Spanish national team.

But what really caused heated discussions was that only one Terry was shortlisted in the Premier League, and the other 10 players in the list all appeared in La Liga.

Nemanja Vidic only moved this summer.

That's shocking enough.

The strength of La Liga is vividly reflected in this FIFA stamped Team of the Year.

Before awarding the 11 players, award-presenter Beckenbauer also mentioned some of his thoughts on the list of winners, calling on the Premier League and Bundesliga to catch up and come up with a more ambitious business philosophy.

Only in this way can we compete with La Liga.

Yang Hao received an invitation, but did not go to the FIFA award ceremony, but Messi, Kaka and Torres and others all went, after all, they also had to go to receive the award.

For Messi missing the Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer in a row, Yang Hao expressed regret in an interview with media reporters.

"It's unthinkable that the best player didn't win these two awards, and all I can say is I'm disappointed!"

Yang Hao once again reiterated his support and support for Messi.

At the same time, he also firmly believes that Messi will show a better performance to prove himself, and Atletico Madrid will also win more championships!

"We all know it's hard, but we're never afraid of anything, it just makes us stronger!"

But as soon as Yang Hao's words fell, in the subsequent UEFA draw, in the round of 16 knockout round, Atletico Madrid drew Bayern Munich, the most difficult of the eight second-place teams.

Louis van Gaal's team!

In Yang Hao's previous life, Van Gaal's team should have won the Champions League runner-up.

But now, although Bayern is missing Ribery and Robben, the overall strength is still quite good.

Especially under the coaching of the famous coach Louis van Gaal, he has the strength to pose a threat to Atletico Madrid.

What?

Why did Bayern have the quality to finish second in the group?

It was Van Gaal's own death, having lost both of their Ligue 1 games against Bordeaux.

But that was before.

From the next few games, whether it is the Champions League or the Bundesliga, Van Gaal has obviously run in the team.

That's enough to pose a threat to Atletico.
