The applause of the Bernabeu, the shortening of the gap in the standings, and the suspense of winning La Liga have increased again, all of which have become the focus of most attention of fans around the world after the Madrid derby.

Countless media outlets and fans are vying to discuss the match.

Especially Atletico's performance.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Hao shouted in a high-profile manner that he wanted to charge for the Triple Crown, and this slogan quickly became the focus of discussion among the media and fans.

After the success of the past few years, no one doubts the strength of Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid.

Today's Sheets are already the most famous and top clubs in world football, and when they start to make a difference, not only the media and fans, but also all the competitors will feel the pressure.

Needless to say, the Copa del Rey has already reached the final.

The opponent is Sevilla.

With Atletico Madrid's strength, winning the championship is also a big favorite.

In La Liga, Atletico Madrid was originally 4 points behind Real Madrid, but after the city derby, the situation has been sharply reversed.

Many media, including Marca, agreed with Yang Hao's analysis of the post-match press conference and believed that Atletico Madrid had seized the favorable initiative on the road to winning the championship.

The point was not in the three points, but in the local derby that beat the rivals 3-0.

This is the biggest blow to Real Madrid's morale.

If the Galaxy Battleship wants to challenge for the championship, the next step must be to maintain a one-point lead and fight every game.

Atletico too.

But in terms of morale, Real Madrid is already at a disadvantage.

What gave Yang Hao confidence was the outstanding performance of Atletico Madrid players, especially the superstars in the team.

La Liga has only played 29 rounds, and Messi has already scored 43 goals.

That makes the Argentine the first player in La Liga history to score more than 40 goals in a single season.

What's even more outrageous is that Messi is not yet the team's center forward.

In this season's Champions League, Messi did not play all the games, but his performance was also very good.

In terms of goals, Adriano currently leads the Champions League scorers chart with seven goals, followed by Atletico Madrid's Luis Suarez and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, both with six goals.

Messi has only scored four goals so far, but he is the assist leader in the Champions League.

But in La Liga, Messi not only scored 43 goals in 29 rounds, but at the same time, after playing Real Madrid, he scored his sixth hat trick of the season, which has never been done in the history of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have scored 79 La Liga goals so far this season, which is also the highest in La Liga.

Even, looking at the entire European football scene, except for Real Madrid, no team can compete with Atletico Madrid.

But in terms of the number of goals conceded, Real Madrid has conceded 28 goals, and Atletico Madrid has only conceded 16 goals so far.

In other words, Atletico now have the most attacking firepower in European football, and at the same time sit on the most solid defense in European football.

Up front, with the likes of Lionel Messi, Fernando Torres, Kaka and Adriano, Atletico Madrid unleashed an attacking storm that terrified the entire European football world.

At the back, the Bianconeri have built one of the most impregnable defences in European football with a central defender of Thiago Silva, Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Godin, as well as Manuel Neuer's performances.

It can be said that Atletico have shown an unprecedented dominance this season.

Yang Hao shouted at this time that it was by no means a whim to hit the triple crown.

Both the media and the fans have basically given Atletico Madrid's performance very highly, and they don't even doubt that they have the strength to hit the treble.

Especially after the 3-0 victory over Real Madrid, it makes people full of confidence in Atletico Madrid.

But that doesn't mean Atletico don't have hidden dangers.

As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, the newspaper listed one of the hidden dangers of Atletico Madrid, that is, the schedule.

Ace counted 29 league games in La Liga, analysed the distribution of Atletico's goals, and it was easy to draw a conclusion.

In the first 15 rounds, the Sheets scored 45 goals and conceded 12, while Messi scored 21 goals.

At this time, Atletico gave the impression that the attack was very sharp, but the defense was not very solid.

Since the winter break, Atletico Madrid have conceded a sharp drop in the following 14 rounds, but the number of goals scored has also dropped sharply, to 34 goals, with Messi scoring 22 goals alone.

This is very illustrative, and the multi-front operation has put a lot of pressure on Atletico.

Atletico Madrid's players, in particular, have clearly fallen a lot from before the winter break.

The number of goals conceded has been reduced from 12 to four, which proves that Atletico's defence is solid.

However, only 34 goals were scored in the same period, which is not as good as Real Madrid, which is in full swing.

In this case, Atletico's overall performance is more about a balanced overall advantage to crush the opponent.

So, only 4 goals have been conceded in this time.

In Spain, the number of goals conceded is never used to measure the level of a team, especially for a super team like the three giants of the Spanish Super League, the reference factor is more attack.

Therefore, the newspaper believes that Atletico Madrid's performance in the second half is not as good as Real Madrid.

But the Sheets beat Real Madrid 3-0 at the Bernabeu.

This has caused a heated discussion among fans throughout Spain and even around the world.

Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, who is stronger?

……

As the head coach of Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao is very aware of the team's situation, but he will not reveal half a sentence to the public.

Because he has more important things to do.

One of the main reasons why the team's goals dropped sharply in the second half was the winter break.

Throughout January, the team has been adjusting and recharging the players' fitness.

In that case, it would be strange for a player to be able to continue to play the same form as he did in the first half.

As for Real Madrid......

Even as a competitor, Yang Hao has to admit that Real Madrid is slightly better than Atletico Madrid in terms of bench thickness.

Looking at the stars on the bench at Real Madrid, Raul has made less than double digits of appearances this season.

There are also people like Barak, Higuain, Gago, etc., all of whom are powerful.

Atletico's squad is really good, but it's still a little younger.

In this case, Yang Hao is very satisfied with the current results.

After shouting the slogan of hitting the treble, Yang Hao immediately went to the headquarters of Atletico Madrid for a meeting, and the focus of the discussion was the team's championship rewards, especially the bonus issue.

Yang Hao has always liked to think and do things in front.

Even if the club does not issue a reward, Yang Hao is sure to let the players work hard.

But he still urged the club to increase the rewards.

The reason is also very simple, the current La Liga is different from the past.

"With the current fierce competition in La Liga, to put it mildly, how many teams dare to say that they can hit the treble?"

In addition to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid also has such strength.

But it's also interesting to say that Real Madrid have not performed well in the Copa del Rey over the years.

If you think about it carefully, it's not completely unreasonable.

The Copa del Rey is a chicken rib, but the most important knockout rounds are in January.

Atletico's strategy has always been to rotate and let young players play in the Copa del Rey.

The same goes for Real Madrid.

So, since the 06/07 season, when the team won the treble, it is the first time that Atletico Madrid has reached the final.

What about Real Madrid?

Didn't even make it to the semi-finals.

This also has something to do with the fact that Real Madrid does not pay attention to it.

Therefore, up to now, in the entire European football world, there are only teams that can impact the treble, and only Atletico Madrid!

In this season's Copa del Rey, Atletico still accounts for a bit of luck in the schedule.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia were all eliminated early, so Atletico Madrid's opponent is Sevilla.

The strength of this team is not weak, but Yang Hao is sure.

"Missed this opportunity, God knows when the next time I have a chance to hit the treble?"

Yang Hao feels that the club should come up with greater rewards to stimulate players to perform better.

The whole world knows that La Liga is very competitive right now.

But in this fierce competition, if Atletico Madrid can still fight it out and win the treble, this will undoubtedly further establish Atletico's status in La Liga, European football, and even in the hearts of fans around the world.

Cerezo and Hill Jr. also agreed with Yang Hao's proposal.

The main thing is that the team is now financially well-off.

Standing in the conference room of Atletico Madrid's headquarters, looking out of the south window, the two skyscrapers are already standing on the banks of the Manzanares River, and the façade of the building looks particularly noble and elegant.

The all-glass curtain wall design makes it look very modern and futuristic.

This is also in line with Herzog and de Meuron's design philosophy for the entire project, from the retro of the stadium to the dreamy future of skyscrapers.

At present, the building is nearing completion.

After the completion of the project, the first batch of contracted enterprises will start to deliver and start the renovation.

Judging from the current market feedback, it is still quite enthusiastic.

After all, so far only six skyscrapers have been planned for Madrid, and only five have been built.

Of the four skyscrapers planned for construction on the site of Real Madrid's old sports city, only three have been built so far, and one is still on the design drawings.

The most outrageous thing is that after the construction of two of them started, the developer declared bankruptcy and was forced to sell the project.

It is currently PwC and the Bank of Spain that have taken over.

On the contrary, these two skyscrapers in Atletico Madrid, although they have also experienced a financial crisis for developers, but after Atletico Madrid won it, everything went smoothly.

Even in terms of attracting investment, Gemini is progressing more smoothly than the three buildings in the north.

At the end of the day, the location is really good.

Gemini is located in the south of the Royal Palace, surrounded by the best tourism resources in Madrid, and is also the heart of Madrid, so hotels and shopping malls will compete to settle in.

The reason why Yang Hao smashed the pot and sold iron at the beginning was because he valued this.

Up to now, it has been 10 years!

10 years!

Atletico finally got through it.

Yang Hao is also bitter.

Although it is not Yang Hao's style to squander unscrupulously, at least it will not be picking and searching.

It's time for the players to share the results of the club's operation and development.

"Fernando, immediately draw up a detailed reward plan, and I want to use it to motivate the players before I play Barcelona."

Yang Hao told Chief Financial Officer Fernando Vázquez.

"Understood."

Three days after the 29th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid will sit at home and face Barcelona!

This is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals!

……

Although ridiculed by countless Barcelona fans as the worst Barcelona president of all time, former president Gaspart still left a rich legacy for Barcelona.

That's the Gamble Sports City, located in the west of Barcelona.

As Gaspart's nemesis, Laporta rarely came to Gamble Sports City if he didn't have to.

More often than not, it was Begiristein, the technical director, or Russell, the vice president in charge of athletic affairs.

So, whenever Laporta comes to Gamble Sports City, it often means that something important is happening.

In the 29th round of La Liga, Barcelona worked hard away and narrowly defeated Real Mallorca 1-0 with Diego Milito's goal, but this did not reverse Barcelona's bad situation in the slightest.

Valencia beat Almeria 2-0 at home.

It can be said that the current situation at Barcelona is very bad.

Laporta's arrival at Gamble Sports City at this time also caused speculation among everyone in the sports city.

What's even more interesting is that the technical director, Begiristan, is not in the same company.

Instead, it was Russell who followed Laporta.

Mourinho had already received the news and he was greeted outside the office building.

After meeting and greeting politely for a while, a group of people went directly into the conference room.

Outside, everyone was speculating, especially about the fact that Begiristan was not with him.

After a few months of fermentation, the whole world knows that Barça's technical director is at odds with the manager.

The conflict between the two intensified, and finally even escalated, with Begiristan accusing Mourinho of failing to manage and failing to press Valencia this season.

Jose Mourinho, in turn, blamed Begiristain for his team's current poor results.

Why?

Because the summer transfer missed out on a defensive core like Nemanja Vidic, and at the same time, it was also unable to strengthen the reinforcements during the winter break.

This contradiction between the two sides has obviously affected Barcelona's military morale.

This is not the first time that management has tried to mediate and defuse the conflict between Mourinho and Begiristan.

But the first few times, it didn't work.

With the team's results not quite satisfactory, everyone is under heavy pressure.

At this time, no one wants this pot to be buckled on their head.

Before deciding to come to Gamble Sports City, Laporta held several meetings with the management and consulted with the members, and basically agreed that Mourinho is the most suitable manager for Barcelona in European football at the moment.

Change of coach?

It was never a difficult decision for Barcelona to make.

The point is, after the change of coach, what is the next step?

Who will replace Jose Mourinho?

In other words, looking at the current European football, who is qualified to replace Mourinho?

If you are a little careless, in case you miss the Champions League qualification again, then Barcelona still wants to turn over again?

Back then, Barcelona missed the Champions League qualification in a row, will it be repeated?

Begiristain highly recommends Guardiola, the assistant coach of Atletico Madrid and the Spanish national team, who believes that Guardiola has great wisdom and is a trustworthy manager.

But the problem is that Pep Guardiola doesn't have any coaching experience.

With the current tragic situation in La Liga, who dares to entrust the responsibility of the team to a rookie with no resume?

Ernesto Valverde, who coached at Espanyol, is also one of Barcelona's candidates, and his coaching record is also good.

But he has never coached a giant, which is also a big flaw.

Rosell, vice-president in charge of athletic affairs, supported Mourinho and shared Mourinho's views.

The reason why the team has not performed well in the season is because they did not give enough support to the manager in the transfer market at the beginning of the season.

But Soriano, the vice-chairman in charge of finance, did not see it that way, and he supported Begiristan.

This created a kind of split in the Barça management.

Laporta managed to bridge this contradiction and let everyone put aside their prejudices for a while.

But the first thing to bear the brunt of is Mourinho's contract extension.

This is the second coach in Barcelona's history to win the Champions League.

Despite the poor results this season, Barcelona fans trust Mourinho more and believe that the problem lies with Begiristan.

So, Begiristan was blamed by Barcelona fans.

Laporta's trip is to reach a consensus with Mourinho to renew his contract.

But Laporta didn't expect that as soon as he sat down and talked about the renewal of his contract, Mourinho put forward his opinion very bluntly.

"From my coaching experience over the past few years, and the situation in La Liga over the past few years, I think it is necessary for us to rebuild a new management structure and system."

Jose Mourinho's words took everyone by surprise.

This is to get straight to the point and hit the nail on the head.

"At Atletico Madrid, we all know that Yang Hao has a lot of power, and he is even more powerful than Alex Ferguson at Manchester United."

"At Real Madrid, Arsene Wenger has also received unconditional support and trust from the management, including the introduction of superstars."

"In Valencia, Ancelotti's power is just as great."

Mourinho's eyes were fixed on Laporta as he said this.

"It's no accident, Juan, the club's governing body, is the basis of the team's performance on the pitch."

'No one knows better than me what the team needs, I've said more than once that we need Nemanja Vidic, but he's in the Real Madrid squad and what about us?'

Mourinho said this, and deliberately paused before continuing.

"I don't want Barcelona to be a battlefield, but when I take the players on the pitch to fight, there are always people who hold us back, so we can't focus and play 100 per cent."

"That's the team's biggest problem right now!"

"Even, I'm seriously worried, are the frequent leaks accidental, or are they deliberate?"

When Mourinho mentioned the leak again, the room exploded.

Everyone was talking.

In the past, Barcelona's civil war drama has been one after another, including several leaks.

Now, Mourinho mentioned it again, although he did not name it, but the finger pointed directly at Begiristan.

"I never thought about having more power, more decision-making, and I've always made efforts, concessions, and even sacrifices to reduce conflict."

'I've always put the role of manager of the club ahead of my own interests.

"But now, I don't think I and the players can go back anymore!"

Mourinho's words made Laporta's brows tighten involuntarily.

He understood the intention of the words, but he also knew what Mourinho meant.

This is forcing the palace!

He is forcing Laporta and the management to choose between him and Begiristan!

Begiristain is a member of the club's decorated stature and has contributed greatly to Laporta's ascension.

But Mourinho won the most important championship trophy of Laporta's presidency.

In this case, Laporta has to make a choice.

……

Laporta and his party came and went.

When Mourinho returned to his office, his confidant Faria followed.

"How?" Faria asked with concern.

As Mourinho's cronies, they all know exactly what this meeting is going on today.

"They didn't give a clear explanation, and they were still hesitating."

Mourinho didn't make it clear, but the meaning was clear.

Want to renew?

Yes, choose one or the other!

Laporta now wants to renew Mourinho's contract, but he doesn't want to give up Begiristan.

At Barça, they are their own people!

But that's exactly why Mourinho insisted.

They have too many of their own people at Barça.

Mourinho sat at the back of his desk, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes.

Faria knew that he was going to think about something, so he didn't bother, and when he turned to go out, he closed the door by the way.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Mourinho opened his eyes slightly, and only exhaled softly when he was sure that he was the only one left in the office.

He was also forced to do so!

Many people feel that as the head coach of Barcelona, he led the team to win the Champions League and made outstanding achievements, and the dressing room under the control of Mourinho should be everyone's obedience to him.

But that's wrong!

Something like this exists only in the imagination.

In reality, there is no such thing as obedience.

Everyone has their own position and interests, even as the manager of the team, how can Mourinho represent the position of everyone in the dressing room and meet everyone's demands?

When Mourinho was still at Barcelona, working as an assistant to Robson and Louis van Gaal, he had already learned a lesson.

In the locker room of football, from a management point of view, those players who are willing to obey the head coach, listen to the head coach's command, and follow the head coach's instructions and ideas are often a minority, or even a very few.

Even if it is a manager like Yang Hao, who can almost be said to cover the sky with one hand, it is difficult to reach half of the players in the Atletico dressing room who obey him.

It's human nature!

It's more about those players who are obedient and cooperative on the surface, but lack the subjective initiative and get by.

These players look like they're playing for you, but in reality, they're never really subservient to you.

This situation abounds in the company.

You communicate with them, you talk about being good for them, fighting for them, and helping them grow, but in their eyes, these are like brainwashing, preaching, and PUA.

What you said and what he thought are not on the same channel at all, and the two sides can't pee in the same pot, how can they cooperate?

At this time, it is necessary to concentrate all the resources on those players who belong to them, and then use them to drive other players.

Disobedience?

It's fine, as long as you don't hold me back.

Then make appropriate use of the interests of these players to drive, and even force them to cooperate with themselves.

Yes, cooperation, not a request or an order.

And those who have never been able to cooperate, there is only one last way left, to purge them from the team, replace them with a group of obedient newcomers, and increase the proportion of obedient and cooperative players in the locker room.

Want 100% control?

This kind of thing can't be done even if Yang Hao is in Atletico Madrid.

Since Jose Mourinho took charge of Barcelona, he has been facing such a problem.

He's constantly increasing the number of people in the dressing room who are obedient and cooperative, but there are also players whose positions are constantly changing.

For example, homegrown players such as Xavi and Puyol were the first to work with Jose Mourinho.

I don't know when their relationship with Mourinho got worse and worse, and they drifted apart.

Mourinho is well aware that he now needs to do something more to induce, and even force them to continue working together.

But the presence of Begiristan has become his biggest obstacle!

Barcelona's technical director openly contradicted Mourinho, which was tantamount to telling the group of homegrown players in the dressing room that the group of players who could have worked with Mourinho was a signal.

Look, even the technical director can't stand it, how long can Mourinho stay at Barcelona?

Is it still necessary to listen to him and cooperate with him?

It would have been fatal for Mourinho, or should I say for anyone who controls the Barça dressing room.

So, Mourinho doesn't really have a choice!

Between him and Begiristan, only one of the two can be left!

Perhaps, this hidden danger has been buried as early as when he was coaching.

It's just that now it seems that Barca's management has not yet made up their minds.

……

On the evening of March 31, the Emirates Stadium in Madrid.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Atletico Madrid hosted Barcelona.

From the first minute of the game, Yang Hao felt very strange.

He couldn't tell what was wrong.

It's just that Barcelona in the game gave him a very different feeling than in the past.

Even Jose Mourinho seems to be a little lacking in interest and passion.

Before the game, when Yang Hao came to shake hands with Mourinho, the Portuguese looked very perfunctory.

In the game, Barcelona was at a disadvantage from the start, and Mourinho did not come up with effective measures, and more sat in the coach's box to direct the game.

On the pitch, Barcelona adopted a very conservative defensive counter-attacking strategy from the beginning.

It's weird.

Captain Puyol is out injured, but Barcelona are not in such a situation.

And, doesn't Mourinho know that retreating against Atletico Madrid is the most important thing?

Barcelona's conservatism allowed Atletico to control the field very smoothly, grasp the possession, and then control the situation.

By the 24th minute, Atletico had even pressed the backline past the halfway point.

Atletico failed to attack down the right and Kaka crossed back to Thiago Silva on the left side of the centre circle.

The Brazilian centre-back crossed the ball diagonally to the left side of the pitch.

In the 30-metre area outside the Barcelona penalty area, Marcelo received the ball close to the left touchline.

Di Maria smashes in diagonally from the left side of the box to the left.

Marcelo sent a through ball after being marked by Juanfran.

The Argentine caught up with Marcelo's pass near the left baseline outside the box, but was followed by Thiago Motta and was forced to make a sharp stop, dunk the ball back, take two steps back and knock it back to Marcelo.

Marcelo was still on the left touchline, Di Maria quickly diagonally into the left corner of the box, received Marcelo's cross and tried to cut inside, but Xavi followed.

Andres Iniesta slid forward quickly from the left flank and slotted into the box.

But Di Maria couldn't find a chance to pass the ball and was forced to pass it back to the left touchline, where it was handed to Marcelo, who withdrew to receive the ball.

Barca's defence pressed a bit and Marcelo received the ball and was forced to pass back to Thiago Silva.

At this time, the Brazilian central defender had pressed to the front of the 30-meter area.

Atletico's frequent cross-running on the flanks and on the flanks has caused a lot of problems for the defending team.

Thiago Silva stopped the ball and immediately crossed to Kaka, who dropped back in the middle to receive the ball.

At this moment, Thiago Silva, Xavi Alonso and Pepe form a back three.

Kaka turned his back to the attack, and after stopping the ball, he was interfered with by Muntari and was forced to take it back, first making a gesture to stop and turn, and suddenly passed back to Xavi Alonso.

Almost at the same time, Messi in the front court ran sideways, as if to pick up Kaka, but Alves stepped forward at high speed along the right side.

Xavi Alonso faced Kaka's return pass and gave a long ball over the top without stopping, which landed precisely on the right side of the penalty area.

Alves cut forward at high speed, caught up with Xavi Alonso's pass and crossed in front of goal.

Adriano in the middle easily arrived.

No matter how good Buffon's strength is, but at this moment, in the face of Adriano, who easily pushed in front of the goal, the Italian goalkeeper was powerless, and could only watch the football enter the net.

1 to 0!

The entire Emirates Stadium was boiling in an instant!

More than 70,000 fans rushed out of their seats, all frantically chanting Adriano's name.

The Brazilian centre-forward was equally thrilled, rushing to the sidelines to celebrate his goal.

From beginning to end, the ball was at the feet of Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona didn't even touch it, let alone grab it.

This made Yang Hao feel very strange.

Turning his head, he glanced at the away team's dugout and found that the ball was lost, but Mourinho did not react at all, and still sat in the dugout, as if there was no goal at all.

What's the situation?

Yang Hao felt very puzzled.

This is not the Mourinho he knows.

What the hell is going on?

……

No one could answer Yang Hao's doubts, but the game on the court continued.

The players on both sides simply couldn't stop.

After Atletico scored first, Barcelona was still very conservative and still defensive.

But the problem is that Barca's defense is not very well organized.

When they kept retreating, under Atletico Madrid's repeated interspersed runs, especially with skillful passing and cutting, Barcelona's defense could not stop it at all.

In the 32nd minute, Atletico launched an attack on the right.

Messi, Kaka and Alves formed a combination on the right side and the right rib, and when facing Barcelona's five defenders, the three were interspersed continuously.

First, Kaka passed the ball to Alves, and then quickly ran diagonally to the right side in front of Alves.

And Messi, who was originally on the right side of the periphery of the big penalty area, quickly retreated.

Alves dribbled diagonally to the right rib and passed to Messi's feet.

The Argentine stopped the ball and turned around, sent a diagonal cross back to the right flank.

Kaka stepped forward at high speed, used his speed, stopped the ball directly in the big penalty area when he stopped the ball, forcibly broke away from Abidal's defense, and after breaking into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, he returned the triangle near the bottom line.

Messi just stepped forward, slapped his horse to arrive, met Kaka's pass, and pushed the shot.

The ball almost grazed the base of the right-hand post and burrowed into Buffon's goal.

2 to 0!

Once again, the cheers of the fans can be heard at the Emirates Stadium!

Yang Hao turned his head for the first time, looked at the away team's coach's seat, and found that Mourinho was still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai.

It felt like the game had nothing to do with him.

Problematic!

Definitely there is a problem!

Although Yang Hao is very sure of winning Barcelona in this game, he never imagined that it would be so easy.

The main reason is that Barcelona played without aggression tonight.

How so?

They behaved too tamely.

Even the fouls were much less than usual.

This made Yang Hao feel very puzzled.

Barcelona tonight is not Mourinho at all!

……

In the 41st minute of the first half, Atletico created another chance.

This time on the left side, after Marcelo and Di Maria hit the wall in succession, Marcelo burst into the Barcelona penalty area from the bottom line and crossed the ball in front of the goal.

Adriano in the middle was distracted by Bruno Alves and Gabriel Milito and couldn't get to the point in time to miss the goal.

But at the back point, Messi arrived and pushed Marcelo's pass to send the ball into the Barcelona goal again.

The Argentine jumped to his feet and rushed out of the pitch excitedly, celebrating his second goal to the cheers of Atletico fans.

Atletico went into the break with a three-goal lead.

Yang Hao was satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, but also mentioned Barcelona's problems.

He felt that Barcelona played a little too negatively tonight, without the spirit of the past, which is very unusual.

But that's not a bad thing for Atletico at all.

The Champions League is a two-legged tournament with home and away elimination.

Barcelona didn't play in the first leg, so don't blame Atletico for not being polite.

So, Yang Hao asked everyone to make persistent efforts and strive to grab more goals in the second half.

After the rematch in the second half, Atletico Madrid played a wave of attacks from the start.

Barcelona's performance improved from the first half, and Jose Mourinho also walked to the sidelines to direct the team's game.

The defence has also been significantly strengthened.

But in the 57th minute, it was still a continuous pass from the right side, and Kaka suddenly sent a kick over the top to pick a pass.

Messi cut diagonally into the box from behind Abidal, stopped the ball on his chest, suddenly stopped the ball, and after deducting the ball past Gabriel Milito, who was chasing all the way back, he fired a low left-footed shot into the far corner of the Barcelona goal.

The ball hit the inside of the left post and bounced into Buffon's goal.

4 to 0!

Hat-trick!

Messi couldn't be more excited!

Three days ago, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, he scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid to help Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 3-0 away.

Three days later, tonight, he scored a hat-trick against Barcelona at the Emirates Stadium.

The Argentine was too excited to describe his excitement at the moment, and he frantically rushed to the sidelines, shouting at the Atletico fans in attendance.

The fans at the scene also did not hesitate to send cheers and warm applause.

……

After conceding four goals in a row, Barcelona suddenly seemed to wake up and began to strengthen the team's defense.

Atletico also slowed down their offensive appropriately, but still firmly controlled the initiative of the game.

Although Yang Hao doesn't know what happened to Mourinho and Barcelona, 4 goals are enough for Atletico Madrid.

After seeing that Barcelona strengthened its defense, especially after replacing Tevez and Mohammed Diarra, it also began to give Atletico Madrid strength, and Yang Hao also chose to accept it when he saw it.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 4-0 at home with Messi's hat trick.

Among them, before the end of the game, substitute Suarez missed a great opportunity and was saved by goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

Otherwise, the game would be 5-0.

And when Yang Hao walked over to the away team's coach's seat after the game and shook hands with Mourinho, he found that the Portuguese madman's face was as usual, and he didn't seem to be angry or lost because of a fiasco.

This made Yang Hao feel very strange.

"You're playing out of style tonight." Yang Hao said when he shook hands with Mourinho.

Mourinho shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Puyol's injury has affected us too much, the back line can't be stable, and as a result, the midfield can't stand up, and then the whole situation is passive." ”

"I was mentally prepared for this long before the game started."

Is it really just that?

Yang Hao showed a hint of doubt.

But he didn't continue to ask and dig deeper, because it had nothing to do with him.

Regarding Mourinho's situation in Barcelona, Yang Hao is clear in his heart.

Now, it is clear that the contradictions within Barcelona have seriously affected the fighting power of this team.

This is not just now, it has happened long before.

Even, everyone knows that if it is not handled well, Barcelona is likely to collapse and be trampled on by Valencia, and it will really become the fourth in La Liga in the future.

"Take your time!" Yang Hao comforted.

Jose Mourinho didn't say anything in front of Yang Hao, but in his post-match press conference, he defended his player's performance, arguing that the team's 4-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid was unskilled.

'Especially at the back, we've been struggling!'

'I wanted to play our best players but Puyol had an injury and we had to make adjustments, but in the end we couldn't stop Atletico's attack.

Although, Mourinho still insisted in the end, and after returning to home, Barcelona will do their best to try to break down Atletico's defense and try to reverse the opponent.

But everyone knows that the possibility is almost zero.

Whether it is in the past or this season, Atletico Madrid under the coaching of Yang Hao has an overwhelming advantage over Barcelona.

After losing 0-4 in the first leg, can you still reverse it when you return to your home stadium?

I'm afraid that even Mourinho himself doesn't believe this.
