367 Atletico Civil War! It's not fair, I'm going to win the Golden Globe too! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
On the evening of August 14, the Mets in New York, USA.
In the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga champion Atletico Madrid faced Sevilla, the runner-up of the Copa del Rey.
For Atletico, the game was stuck at a very uncomfortable time.
After the international players who participated in the World Cup returned to the team, they were preparing for the new season, whether it was physical reserves or state recovery, it took more time, which gave Yang Hao a problem.
Is it reluctantly arranging players to play?
Or is it a big rotation?
The former will disrupt the team's pre-season preparations, while the latter is likely to suffer a humiliating defeat.
The outside media and fans are very worried about this.
After all, there are too many Atletico Madrid internationals who have participated in the World Cup final, or reached the semi-finals.
And again this summer, Mascherano and Godin were sold, and there was no corresponding reinforcement, which is a big problem.
At the pre-match press conference, Yang Hao made it clear that "this is not a problem. β
He has led the team in La Liga for 10 years, and he knows the quality of Sevilla FC and naturally knows how to weigh them.
In the game, Yang Hao made a large rotation and adopted a 4231 lineup.
Goalkeepers: Palop;
Defence: Marcelo, Alvaro Domingos, Virgil van Dijk and Zabaleta;
Midfielders: Koke and Luka Modric in a back two, with Eden Hazard, Isco and Di Maria up front;
Forward: Robert Lewandowski.
Yang Hao's lineup rotation is very strong, and he didn't even arrange a core player to play.
Needless to say, the veteran Palop, Γlvaro Dominguez is a left-footed central defender, 1.81 meters tall, but very capable, performing well in La Liga, and Van Dijk formed the center-back combination of Atletico Madrid's second team in La Liga.
Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Thiago Silva all played in the World Cup final and were also absent from the team's training camp in Japan, so in Atletico's previous warm-up games, it was a combination of Domingos and Virgil van Dijk, and they performed well.
The combination of Koke and Luka Modric can also be considered a temporary pairing.
Patrice Evra on the left side was injured, and Yang Hao arranged for Marcelo to start.
As for the frontcourt, Hazard, Isco and Di Maria are the best lineups that Yang Hao can put out at present.
Even, on the bench, Pogba, Jorge Pulido and others are basically from the second team.
That is, not a single international player who participated in the semi-finals of the World Cup.
It also shocked the media and fans who saw the starting list.
This kind of squad configuration to play Sevilla, okay?
β¦β¦
Don't look at Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, and even the starting formation has changed, but in the game, the Sheets still launched the attack first, or continued the aggressive offensive momentum before.
Yang Hao's strategy is to use the opening game and use the way Atletico Madrid is best at to take the lead and suppress Sevilla.
There are pros and cons to this style of play.
Once it works, Sevilla will play very hard.
But if there is a mistake, the price to pay can be very painful.
Since 10 years ago, Yang Hao has been committed to Atletico Madrid's youth training reform, one of which is very important, from the first team to the youth team, all football concepts are in the same vein.
This inheritance is not like that of Barcelona, but a unity of basic ideas.
For example, there is a lot of emphasis on passing and cutting.
Each player is very skilled in his technique, passing, running off the ball and pressing high post.
Moreover, when Yang Hao promoted the reform of youth training, he specially set up the role of sports coordinator, which was managed by Juanma Lillo, with the purpose of coordinating training between teams of all ages.
At first, it was due to the limited number of training venues at Atletico, but it gradually became a kind of communication and promotion between different age groups.
Players from the second team are also often promoted to the first team to train.
In this case, the players are no strangers to each other.
And the effect of the youth training reform also played a role in this game.
In the game, the strength of Yang Hao's starting lineup is obviously inferior to that of the strong Sevilla.
The same 4231 tactic, in the middle, the middle of the midfield composed of Rakitic, Inle and Renato brought huge problems to the Atletico midfield.
Isco and Eden Hazard, in particular, tried to break through with the ball on several occasions, but they were unsuccessful.
Yang Hao has high hopes for these two players, and he is looking forward to Isco and Hazard becoming the frontmen of Atletico Madrid, especially Messi, in the next few years.
Eden Hazard was lively after the opening kick-off but was quickly snuffed down by Sevilla.
The same can be said of Angel Di Maria on the right.
Isco in the middle was frozen by two players, Inle and Renato.
Under the backdrop of Sevilla's double midfield, Isco exposed his own shortcomings, especially the lack of concise and effective handling of the ball, and the weak physical ability, these two problems are very serious.
On the contrary, it is Koke, a midfielder who has both offense and defense, very solid skills at his feet, and excellent passing ability, and has a good combination with Modric and his performance is qualified.
But it's just qualified.
Asking an 18-year-old to put in a spectacular performance in a game like the Super Cup is a bit of a tough deal.
Luka Modric did a good job and after the opening kick there was a very good through ball.
At the back, Virgil van Dijk and Domingos face Brazilian centre-forward Fabiano tonight.
The two central defenders who performed well in La Liga, when they arrived in La Liga, especially when they encountered a strong team like Sevilla, they went straight to problems.
In the 25th minute, Fabiano ran out of space with a clever pass from Rakitic, and under the attack of two central defenders, he still burst into the penalty area with the ball, and hit the goal with his feet to open the scoring for Sevilla.
In the 38th minute of the first half, Perotti's cross from the left flank, Fabiano nodded the ball behind it, and once again broke through Palop's goal and scored a brace to give Sevilla a 2-0 lead.
This result was completely unexpected by everyone.
No one expected that Atletico Madrid would lose like this in the first half of the Super Cup.
In the midfield comment of the American live commentator: "Atletico Madrid's new season is likely to start with a fiasco!" β
And Yang Hao's approach seems to cater to such concerns.
He didn't make any substitutions at half-time.
But after the start of the second half, it was obvious to everyone that Atletico had changed.
First of all, the team's offense has become more fluid.
The reason is that Yang Hao found that Lewandowski had problems with his position and movement in the first half.
He pressed forward too much.
At half-time, Yang Hao signaled Lewandowski to move in the area between Sevilla's two central defenders and the two midfielders, taking advantage of the square space formed by these four players and the difficulty of cross-cutting to create opportunities.
Lewandowski listened to Yang Hao's adjustment.
In the 51st minute of the second half, it was Lewandowski's retreat, behind the two midfielders of Inle and Renato, after receiving Isco's pass, he knocked it back to Modric.
The Croatian played a diagonal pass close to the ground and moved the ball precisely to the left side of the box and into the feet of Eden Hazard.
The Belgian started with the ball, broke through two Sevilla defenders in succession, burst into the box and crossed into the middle.
After retreating just now, Lewandowski, who turned quickly, rushed to the middle of the field, and came from behind, grabbed ahead of the defenders, and sent the ball into the goal with one kick, 1-2!
This goal was played beautifully, so that Yang Hao also kept applauding on the sidelines.
Inside the stadium, more than 80,000 American fans were also cheering for Atletico.
After pulling a goal back, Atletico continued to build on their attacks.
Lewandowski's tugging up front, especially the frequent drop-back behind the double midfield, caused a lot of problems for Sevilla's double midfield, which freed up Isco's space to move.
In the 61st minute, it was Isco who dribbled in the middle, broke through Renato, and sent a wonderful pass to the right side of the penalty area.
Di Maria cut in at high speed, received the ball and shook off Sevilla centre-back Gallas to hit a left-footed shot to equalise the scores.
2 to 2!
By this moment, the two sides had completely kicked apart.
Sevilla FC brought on Negredo and Shinji Kagawa to continue to strengthen their attacking attack.
In the 73rd minute, it was Negredo's header in the penalty area that knocked on Palop's goal again, helping Sevilla to exceed the score again, 3-2!
Yang Hao made a substitution, with Pogba replacing Koke.
The team's tactics were adjusted and they reverted back to 433, with Luka Modric behind and Paul Pogba and Isco in the middle.
This also shows Yang Hao's attitude, this game is to play against Sevilla and stick to the end.
The competition is getting more and more intense.
Especially the young players of Atletico Madrid, who were also completely sparked and behaved more and more vigorously.
In the 86th minute, it was Marcelo on the left side who inserted in the back row, and after forming a two-one-one combination with Hazard, he took the ball on the periphery of the left corner of the penalty area.
Marcelo's 45-degree diagonal cross into the edge of the box gave the Frenchman a good chance to head home from close range before the Sevilla defenders were in place.
The goal was pushed directly into the Sevilla goal by Pogba, 3-3!
The game is back to a draw!
"Paul Pogba, who is only 17 years old, scored his first goal for Atletico!"
"And it was against Sevilla!"
'He's big, he's strong, he's got great technique at his feet, and it's very reminiscent of Real Madrid's Yaya Toure.
'When I played against Atletico II in the youth team, a lot of people said he was the new Vieira.
"Vieira is also very optimistic about this young player, and now it seems that Yang Hao also has high hopes for him."
"3 to 3!"
"This game perfectly shows Yang Hao's coaching level as the world's top coach."
"Throughout the game, Atletico Madrid did not have even a top star, and compared to Sevilla, who are the main players, Atletico Madrid's card is obviously much weaker."
"But when the Sheets were scoreless in the first half, they relied on their excellent performance in the second half to score three goals in a row and finally equalize the score."
"It was really a great game!"
β¦β¦
The first leg of the Spanish Super Cup was 3-3, which attracted strong attention from the media and fans.
Especially in the United States.
More than 80,000 fans who attended the Mets stadium in New York were impressed by the game.
It was disappointing to not have a superstar, but the game was too intense and exciting.
'Sevilla FC is also very strong, the game is very fluid, the scene is very good, very exciting, the tension is suffocating.
"Because of the World Cup, Atletico Madrid did not send stars, but the strength of the young players is really powerful, especially the breakthrough of several young players with the ball, which made the applause of the scene continue."
"It is precisely because there are no stars to play, but it further sets off the technical and tactical gold content of the La Liga game, as well as the viewing of La Liga football style, which is definitely worth the ticket price!"
The US media generally gave very high praise and affirmation.
Because Atletico Madrid had already explained the reason to the fans in advance before the Super Cup, and even announced the 18-man squad early, there were no superstars such as Messi, Kaka, Torres and Adriano at all.
Therefore, American fans voluntarily entered the stadium and would not complain about Atletico Madrid's failure to make an appointment, and at the same time understood Yang Hao's consideration of preparing for the new season.
And the score of 3 to 3 left all the suspense for the second leg.
There was a 1-week gap between the two matches.
The day after the first round, Yang Hao gave the whole team a day off.
At this time, the players' families also came to New York from Spain to join the team.
Players can take advantage of this day off to spend time with their families.
Naturally, the outings of Atletico Madrid players have also attracted strong attention from the American media and fans.
The most eye-catching of this is naturally Yang Hao.
In the stands of the Metropolitan Stadium in New York, some American media photographed Lin Yuna, a member of the Korean women's team, sitting with Mrs. Atletico Madrid, which basically hammered Yang Hao's new relationship.
On the day of Atletico Madrid's vacation, more entertainment media photographed Yang Hao and Lin Yuner traveling together in New York's Central Park and Fifth Avenue, and the two kissed each other as if no one was around from time to time, which was very intimate.
In the photos taken by the media, Yang Hao is wearing a white T-shirt with jeans, looking very casual and comfortable.
Lin Yun'er is a white open-collared shirt that is very fresh and sweet, which perfectly sets off his pure temperament, plus a printed short skirt, giving people a very youthful and fashionable pure girlish feeling.
Whether it is the media or fans, after seeing these revelations and photos, they all congratulated Yang Hao.
"He looks like he's really in love this time!"
"The prodigal son turns back! Congratulations on finding true love! β
"The age difference between the two is too much, I don't understand why Yang Hao likes 20-year-old girls."
"Am I the only one who thinks that Lin Yun'er is not worthy of Yang Hao at all?"
"Upstairs, it's not just you, I also think so, Yang Hao can be the one who wants to be knighted."
"With Yang Hao's current identity, status, wealth and fame, what kind of woman is he looking for? As long as he's happy. β
"Yes, I think he's happy."
"I hope this time we will talk for a longer time, Ronaldo is not married, he has children, and Kaka's son is already 2 years old, Yang Hao should consider it as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be no successor to the title."
"Agreed, it's a pity to work hard to get this title, and there is no successor."
"Ronaldo's son is a surrogate, but Yang Hao can't do it, and some Chinese fans say that surrogacy is strictly prohibited in their country."
"Then hurry up and find a suitable one."
"As a die-hard fan of Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid, I really hope he can be happy."
"As an American, he has lived the life that all men dream of, and has soaked in countless goddesses, but I still think that he is very compatible with this Korean female star, is this my delusion?"
When the media and public opinion were fermenting, the Spanish newspaper Marca also followed current events, revealing that Yang Hao had officially taken Lin Yuner to Atletico Madrid's team dinner, and officially introduced him to Atletico Madrid.
In South Korea, the media and fans are even more excited.
Who is Yang Hao?
The famous coach who led Spain to win the World Cup, the top coach in world football at present, the nobleman who is about to be knighted by the Spanish royal family, he is actually dating a Korean female star, how can this make them not excited?
Especially some media revealed that if Yang Hao really marries Lin Yuna, can he be classified as a Korean citizen?
Even some Korean fans can't help but start in YY, thinking that in the next World Cup, will Yang Hao be able to lead the South Korean national team to Brazil?
Some media and fans believe that Yang Hao's relationship with Lin Yuner is conducive to Korean players staying in La Liga.
That is, Yang Hao doesn't know the public opinion in South Korea, otherwise, he will probably reply very embarrassedly, "I really just like her, and she has a woolen relationship with you South Korea?" β
But the huge sensational effect brought by Yang Hao still brought a great boost to Lin Yuner.
In just a few days, when Yang Hao and the others were still in New York, her agent in South Korea received invitations to many brands and events one after another, including some international brands.
The most exciting thing is the contact between Dior and Estee Lauder, two luxury brands.
In the entertainment industry, receiving the endorsement of high-luxury brands is not a matter of more money or less money at all, but a symbol of coffee position.
High-end luxury brands like Dior and Estee Lauder have always only had a chance for the most popular actresses in South Korea, and Lin Yuna didn't even dare to think about it before, and it was not her turn.
But now, there is a queue to find the door, let her choose.
And these two luxury brands are obviously very concerned about her relationship with Yang Hao in contact, and there is a kind of contract that can be signed immediately as long as it is confirmed, and the conditions are mentioned.
This also made Lin Yuna and even the entire Korean entertainment industry clearly aware of Yang Hao's weight and influence.
Is this a relationship?
No, it's like hugging a golden thigh that can't be thicker!
And when Yang Hao heard these things from Lin Yun'er's mouth, he felt that it was normal and there was nothing to say.
"Mine is big, you bear with me."
Lin Yun'er was stunned for a moment, did she say traffic, or ......
But soon, she was pushed into bed and completely lost the ability to think and discern.
β¦β¦
A week later, FedEx Field in Maryland.
Spanish Super Cup second leg.
The two sides drew 3-3 in the first leg, making the second leg even more suspenseful.
In the end, can Yang Hao's team come back to life and reverse Sevilla?
Even before the game was played, the images in the stands caught the attention of the American media, as well as the fans around the world who watched the broadcast.
In the past week, Lin Yuna, who has frequently appeared on the news, wore an Atletico jersey and sat excitedly in the stands.
has just completed the transformation from a girl to a young woman, making her look pure and beautiful, a little less youthful, and a little more elegant and intellectual.
In the slightly ridiculous words of the on-site commentator, "She has completely fallen under Yang Hao's clutches." β
And Yang Hao's arrangement of the big demon for this game also made the fans on the scene feel very excited.
Because Atletico Madrid arranged a large number of main lineups to play this time.
Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer;
Defence: Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Virgil van Dijk and Alves;
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets dragged behind, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the middle;
Forwards: Eden Hazard, Adriano and Lionel Messi.
It can be said that with the exception of the Spanish international, who returned later, almost all the main players played.
And Atletico's players firmly locked the advantage on the field from the beginning of the game.
Sevilla FC are still playing at 4231 and the starting line-up is similar to before, with Juan de Ramos clearly looking to replicate the advantage of the first leg and then exploit Atletico's shortcomings.
But when it came to the game, Juande Ramos's team was almost one-sided at a disadvantage.
Atletico took the lead in attack, keeping the ball firmly in control and creating chances.
The fans at the scene were also very excited, especially to see the stars of Atletico Madrid taking turns on the pitch.
Messi was extremely active from the start.
In the 19th minute of the first half, after Hazard took the ball on the left side, he first cut inside with the ball, broke through the opponent's fullback Dabo, and suddenly changed forward on the left side of the front of the penalty area, forced to break through the bag of the opponent's two defenders, and knocked on the left side of the penalty area to the goal.
Adriano easily pushed and hit the opening scoring, 1-0!
In the 30th minute, Toni Kroos picked up the ball in the left rib area of the Sevilla midfield and sent a diagonal pass with his right foot.
Messi shook off Navarro, stopped the ball on his chest, entered the right side of the penalty area, shook off Escude, and scored with a low shot from close range to score another goal for Atletico Madrid, 2-0!
At this moment, everyone in the field, including the Atletico Madrid players sitting on the bench, clearly felt the difference in strength between them and the main stars.
Before the end of the first half, Alves's back insertion sent the ball to Messi's feet in the penalty area again, and the Argentine dunked past the defender and hit the goal again, 3-0!
After the second half of the rematch, just 12 minutes, Modric sent a wonderful pass, Messi stopped at the front of the big penalty area, shook off Inle, left foot curled the ball around the far corner, and scored again, 4-0!
Hat-trick!
Messi was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium and ran all the way to celebrate the first hat-trick of the first game of the new season!
Everyone clearly felt Messi's high fighting spirit, as well as his pursuit of titles and honors in the new season.
Yang Hao then made a big substitution, and the game returned to calm.
And Atletico Madrid also slaughtered Sevilla 4-0 in this game, with an aggregate score of 7-3, slashing Sevilla and winning the first championship of the new season.
β¦β¦
After returning to Madrid from New York, Yang Hao led the team to prepare for the last pre-season training camp at the Mahada Hongda training base, specifically to solve the problems exposed in the training and various games.
Due to the team's upcoming UEFA Super Cup match, the first round of La Liga had to be postponed.
Atletico are a very mature team now, and despite seeing off Mascherano and Godin this season, this has not detracted from the overall competitiveness of the Sheets.
Yang Hao officially transferred several young players from the second team, including Van Dijk, Isco, Koke and Pogba, to the first team as a reserve for the first team, but they will continue to play in the second team in the second team.
The current strength of this group of players does not have the ability to play the main role in the first team for the time being.
But Yang Hao is very confident that in the next few years, they will become Atletico's humerus generals.
The team's technical and tactical maturity is certainly an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage.
That is, the opponent will be more familiar with Atletico's tactical style of play, and it will be more targeted.
This requires Atletico Madrid to further enrich its tactical means and appropriately change its tactical play, for example, Yang Hao tried 4231 in the Super Cup, which is actually a kind of return.
Yang Hao also actively tried various other playing styles, hoping to help the team further compete in the new season.
When Atletico Madrid trained in Madrid, UEFA also announced the distribution of prize money for last season's Champions League.
According to the data given by UEFA, Atletico Madrid received a total of 49.8 million euros, the highest in the entire European football.
This represents the richest reward for Atletico Madrid, and it also confirms the previous predictions of Atletico Madrid's management.
On the morning of August 26, after finishing their training session early, Atletico Madrid flew from Madrid to Nice, France, and from Nice to Monaco to attend the annual Champions League group stage draw and the UEFA awards ceremony.
According to Yang Hao's original meaning, he didn't want to participate in this kind of occasion at all.
But there is no way, Atletico Madrid is going to participate in the UEFA Super Cup on the 27th, and the venue of the match is at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.
In this case, UEFA's invitation, Atletico had to be present.
As is customary, all 32 teams participating in the Champions League group stage are divided into Pot 4.
As the defending champions and the team with the highest points, Atletico Madrid have been drawn in Pot 1 Group A.
The other seven seeded teams are ranked according to their points.
Incidentally, the other three teams in La Liga, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia have all been seeded, making La Liga account for half of the eight seeded teams.
But I don't know if UEFA is showing goodwill, or if it's really Atletico's luck reversed.
In the subsequent draw for the second pot, Atletico Madrid avoided the teams in the four major leagues, and also avoided Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine and drew Marseille in Ligue 1.
There is really nothing to say about this luck.
Why?
Because it's close.
From Spain to France, at that distance, Marseille is not a strong team.
In the third pot of the team drawn, they successfully avoided Schalke 04, Spartak Moscow and other teams, and drew Braga in the Portuguese Super League, which is also a very good sign, and the distance is closer.
In the fourth gear, I drew Zhilina from Slovakia, which is still very good.
For Atletico Madrid, as long as they can avoid a team like Kazan Ruby, a team that goes on a cold winter expedition, it is a good signing.
In the end, Atletico drew Marseille, Braga and Gilina.
Either way, Atletico have an overwhelming advantage over all three teams.
What's more, the three teams are relatively not difficult to play on the road.
Of course, in terms of strength, the strength of Marseille and Braga is not bad, and it may not be without the strength of a fight.
But Yang Hao felt that this signing was indeed not bad.
It is impossible to draw the weak again, and to play well away, and all the good things under the sky will be accounted for.
There is no such reason, is there?
As in previous years, the award ceremony was interspersed with a draw ceremony.
Since UEFA had already announced the top three candidates for each award before that, many people basically concluded that Atletico would sweep all the awards.
And it turns out that this is indeed the case.
The best goalkeeper is the most suspenseful, whether it is Atletico Madrid's Manuel Neuer or Valencia's Petr Cech, they are the strongest contenders for this award.
Petr Cech was consistent, Manuel Neuer was playing well and improving rapidly, and in the final, Atletico beat Valencia to win the treble, which helped Neuer win the award.
Eventually, Manuel Neuer beat Petr Cech to win UEFA's Goalkeeper of the Season award for the first time.
The best defender turned into a civil war for Atletico.
According to the results previously announced by UEFA, Alves, Thiago Silva and Pepe are in the top three.
Yang Hao also got the news that Lucio is fourth, Evra is fifth, and Ramos is sixth.
This can also show the level of strength of Atletico's backline.
Ramos is strong at the moment but lacks some consistency, and his overall performance is slightly inferior to Thiago Silva and Pepe.
But Ramos' passion for the game, as well as his ability to bounce and run, gave him a big plus, and his role on the pitch was on par with that of Thiago Silva and Pepe.
In the media's parlance, this is Yang Hao's happiness trouble.
In the end, Alves beat Thiago Silva and Pepe to be voted Defender of the Season.
The midfielder of the season was also a civil battle for Atletico, with Kaka beating Andres Iniesta and Xavi Alonso to be voted Midfielder of the Season.
It is worth mentioning that Kaka's transformation has become more and more successful, so much so that in various selections in world football, Kaka is increasingly regarded as a playmaker and passer in the midfield, rather than as an attacker before.
Both Yang Hao and the coaching staff feel that this transformation is conducive to the extension of Kaka's career.
After all, if you blindly run as fast as in the past, Kaka's body will definitely be unbearable.
The striker of the season went to Lionel Messi, who beat Adriano and Robin van Persie.
And in the final finale, the award of the best player of the season, Messi was also re-elected.
This also proves that UEFA and European football professionals are positive about Messi's performance last season.
The Argentine's performance in La Liga and in the Champions League has been impeccable.
His only weakness is in the Argentine national team.
No one thought that Maradona would bring this powerful Argentine national team to such a level of crotch pulling.
With this UEFA Player of the Season always regarded as the bellwether of World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or, this year the situation is very different.
First of all, there is the World Cup year, which has always favored players who have performed well in the World Cup.
Although, many media and fans in the outside world believe that Messi's outstanding performance for a long time should be rewarded.
But there are still plenty of favourites on players who have excelled at the World Cup, such as Kaka, or David Silva, Fernando Torres and Andres Iniesta.
There is also the merger of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or this year to become the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
As a FIFA-led selection award, it is understandable that it is more inclined to the World Cup hosted by FIFA.
Therefore, many people feel that Messi is still out of action this year.
After participating in the UEFA draw and award ceremony, Yang Hao was interviewed by on-site media reporters, and of course he expressed his attitude, that is, he unconditionally supported the election of Atletico Madrid players!
"I'm very happy that we have the best group of players in the world, Messi, Kaka, Torres, Adriano, Iniesta, David Silva and so on, all of them have the quality and qualifications to challenge for the highest honours."
"I wouldn't be surprised if any of them won the award."
And when the media dug a hole for him and asked him who was more optimistic about who was elected, Yang Hao said with a smile, "They are all optimistic." β
"In my mind, they're all Ballon d'Or!"
But this obviously could not satisfy the media, so they gathered around and asked Yang Hao to say his name directly and not to do Tai Chi.
"Only one?" Where does Yang Hao not know these tricks of the media?
"Yes, you can only choose one!"
They were heckling.
"That'...... I choose...... Yang Hao! β
All the media were dumbfounded.
What does it mean?
Are you in the FIFA Ballon d'Or?
"I've always wanted to say, why can a player compete for the Ballon d'Or, why as a manager, I bothered to help the team win the title, I can't win the Ballon d'Or, it's not fair to our manager!"
"I would like to protest to FIFA, I think the head coach's dedication should be respected, and our head coach should also win the Ballon d'Or!"
The reporters were all crying and laughing.
Yang Hao was really forced to be anxious.
I'd rather "blame" FIFA than elect a person.
When it comes to this, they all know that they can't force it.
In the end, Yang Hao even took the initiative to open the topic: You guys should talk about my gossip lace.
β¦β¦
The day after the draw for the Champions League group stage, the UEFA Super Cup was lit at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.
The two sides are Champions League winners Atletico Madrid and Europa League winners Villarreal.
Manuel Pellegrini's side had a good run in the Europa League last season, beating Espanyol to win the competition.
Both La Liga teams are very familiar with each other.
Manuel Pellegrini's yellow submarine has also been a constant headache for La Liga's powerhouses, and their Latin American style of play is unique in both La Liga and European football.
The game was also in the fast lane from the start, with neither side holding back.
In the first five minutes, both teams had four shots on goal, which shows that both sides are fighting with all their might.
But they are too familiar with each other, and the targeted tactics are also containing the opponent, making it difficult for each other to threaten.
It wasn't until the end of the first half that Aguero broke through with the ball on the left flank, completed a beautiful wall-to-wall combination with Nasri, and hit the ball from 13 meters in front of the goal, sending the ball into the goal guarded by Neuer.
This made Villarreal extremely excited.
Yang Hao was dissatisfied with the team's performance at halftime.
Due to the fact that he was going to play La Liga in 3 days, Yang Hao rotated in this game, but the performance of the players really could not satisfy him.
After the rematch in the second half, Atletico's performance improved.
Especially the midfield of Andres Iniesta and Kaka.
It was their first time in the new season and they didn't play very well in the first half.
Villarreal tried to continue the rhythm of the first half, but in the 49th minute, Kaka sent a through ball on the counter-attack after a halfway break from Atletico.
Messi stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area and dodged the defender and fired a low left-footed shot past Reina.
1 to 1!
The two sides returned to a draw.
Atletico gradually stabilized their ground.
In the 62nd minute, David Silva broke through on the left flank and after a one-two with Andres Iniesta, he sent a through ball that Adriano bumped past Villarreal centre-back Gerard Pique and hit a left-footed shot from the left side of the box.
2 to 1!
Atletico completed a comeback!
The balance of the game gradually tilted in favor of Atletico Madrid, especially Yang Hao, who took advantage of the victory to chase and replaced Di Maria, strengthening the team's left offensive and letting left full-back Marcelo strengthen his forward insertion.
An attacking threat on the left can minimize the pressure on Messi on the right.
In the 82nd minute, it was Di Maria who broke through after taking the ball on the left side, sending a low cross to the back of the goal, Messi rushed to the goal, pushed with his right foot, and sent the ball into Villarreal's goal again.
3 to 1!
Villarreal pressed out all the way and fought with Atletico Madrid.

At this time, it was already stoppage time of the game.
After Villarreal scored, it wasn't long before the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Atletico Madrid reversed Villarreal 4-2 thanks to Messi's brace.
Yang Hao is satisfied with the team's performance, but also pointed out the problem that the team is currently facing, that is, the state of the players has not fully adjusted, and the performance has also been up and down.
In a major tournament like the World Cup, the impact on the team is obvious.
Yang Hao experienced it once 4 years ago, but this kind of thing is difficult to avoid, after all, players are also people, not machines.
For the new season, Yang Hao said that with the deepening of the competition, Atletico Madrid will find its best form!
