In midweek, October 27, the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey knockout round.

Atletico travel to the Canary Islands to take on Las Palmas away.

As one of the "giant" teams in the Canary Islands, Las Palmas have not performed very well in La Liga this season.

Yang Hao has been prepared for this game for a long time and will play with a full bench lineup.

But before the game, David Silva took the initiative to fight.

This is his hometown.

The Canary Islands, as the name suggests, are made up of several islands.

The difference is that as a Spanish territory, the Canary Islands are very close to the African continent, especially Morocco, which is far away from the Spanish mainland.

There are two teams from the Canary Islands that fans are familiar with, Tenerife and Las Palmas.

The two clubs are located on two islands in the Canary Islands, Tenerife and La Palma.

David Silva and Belleron are both from Algineguin, a small fishing village in the south of La Palma.

So, Las Palmas is a team worthy of the name, David Silva's hometown.

This Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid is going to La Palma to challenge Las Palmas, which is undoubtedly a good day for David Silva to return home, and he naturally hopes to make his debut.

Las Palmas also took this game very seriously.

Not only because of David Silva, but also because of Spain's first Spanish international to play in Las Palmas after winning the World Cup, and it is also a world-class giant like Atletico Madrid.

So, they moved their home stadium from the 3,200-seat Pepe Gonzavis Stadium to the Gran Canaria stadium on a small hill in the south, which can accommodate 32,400 people.

Although the Gran Canaria stadium has a large capacity, it is a multi-purpose stadium, with a spacious track and field track between the stadium and the stands, which is not suitable for football matches, and Las Palmas does not have such a high attendance rate on weekdays.

But this time, 32,400 tickets and 43 VIP boxes were immediately "looted" after the results of the Copa del Rey draw came out, and more than 2 million residents of the Canary Islands were looking forward to the arrival of Atletico Madrid.

Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid are also very interesting.

As is customary, in a Copa del Rey match like this, the away team is able to get an appearance fee.

Of course, generally speaking, the big teams will not take this appearance fee, which can be regarded as funding the home team.

Atletico will certainly be no exception.

Not only that, but the Sheets also partnered with David Silva and Belleron to donate a sum of money, equipment and supplies in the name of these two players for youth football training on the island.

Ahead of the Copa del Rey, Cerezo and Junior Hill represented Atletico, while David Silva and Bellerón were also present at the donation ceremony, hoping to help raise the level of youth development in the Canary Islands.

Atletico Madrid's advocacy, the appearance of the two superstars, has also led to the island's wealthy and corporate donations, which has also caused a very big response in Spain.

With the improvement of status, Atletico Madrid is also constantly consolidating its status as a top giant.

You know, in the past, the Canary Islands were Real Madrid's backyard.

The most typical is David Silva, whose dream is to go to Real Madrid, and Jesus, who played for Real Madrid in Yang Hao's previous life, are all from the Canary Islands.

But Atletico are also gradually spreading their influence to the outer islands.

Compared to charity, the Copa del Rey itself is not worth talking about.

The final result was 5-0, and Atletico Madrid, despite only having David Silva as the main player, still slaughtered Las Palmas and the game was very exciting.

Luis Suarez scored a brace to help Atletico win away from home.

Lewandowski made a pass and a shot.

Both of these young strikers have been impressive.

……

At the weekend, the 10th round of La Liga.

Refreshed, Atletico returned to the Emirates Stadium to host Almeria.

Just four minutes into the game, Messi scored for Atletico.

In the 23rd minute, Messi assisted Torres to score another game, 2-0!

After the rematch in the second half, Atletico Madrid beat Almeria 5-0 at home thanks to goals from Alves, Messi and Torres.

Messi scored a brace with one pass and two shots, while Torres scored a brace.

……

On November 2, in midweek, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid challenged Braga away.

The Sheets were away in the Portuguese Super League, and after falling behind by one goal in the first half, they reversed Braga 3-1 in the second half thanks to Adriano's brace and Messi's goal.

After the game, Messi was voted Player of the Match.

Because in this game, apart from his goal, Adriano's two goals came from his assists.

With two passes and one shot, Messi once again showed an excellent performance.

……

November 7, La Liga round 10, Madrid derby.

The Sheets are visiting the Bernabeu to take on Real Madrid.

This is a battle that has attracted the attention of the world.

Long before the game, the selection of the FIFA Golden Ball Award caused widespread heated discussions around the world.

Ronaldo said in an interview with media reporters that he has the ability to enter the top three, unless there is a shady selection.

This immediately caused a monstrous wave in the world of public opinion.

Everyone knows that Ronaldo has a strong desire to win and is eager to prove himself again with the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year.

Moreover, in the past year, his performance in La Liga and the Champions League has been overpowered by Messi.

This made the Portuguese very unconvinced.

The media that support Real Madrid is also building up a frenzy for Ronaldo.

Many media also believe that Ronaldo really doesn't necessarily have no chance.

What does that mean?

Messi, as the top name of Atletico Madrid, has no doubt about his performance at the club, but his performance in the national team, especially in the World Cup, is far inferior to his teammates such as Kaka, Adriano, Torres, Iniesta, David Silva and so on.

This leads to a very contradictory and divisive situation.

Do you want to watch the World Cup first?

Or do you want to look at the club first?

Countless media outlets and fans are actually conflicted.

Messi showed an unprecedented performance in the club game, the number of goals, the number of assists, and a treble, such a performance is basically impossible without winning the award.

It must be the kind that is far ahead!

But in the World Cup year, he and Argentina's performance in the World Cup was really not satisfactory.

Argentina did poorly, and Messi didn't play as well as he should.

On the other hand, Kaka, the core of the Triple Crown and the soul core of the World Cup runner-up, he doesn't deserve to win the Golden Ball again?

And Torres, the main player of the Treble, the top scorer of the World Cup winner, he doesn't deserve it?

The likes of Andres Iniesta, Adriano and David Silva, all of whom have had very good performances at Atletico and the World Cup, don't they deserve it?

But it is undeniable that in the past year, Atletico Madrid have been touting Messi.

After Adriano grew old and Kaka transformed, Messi became Atletico Madrid's top superstar.

As is customary, he does have to press his teammates.

It is precisely because of such contradictions that there is a lot of trouble outside.

Fans also choose to support different players according to their preferences, and even make a fuss on the Internet.

Real Madrid's media believes that in the case of such fierce infighting in Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo may take advantage of the fisherman.

Ronaldo also took this opportunity to try to break into the top three.

Because in December, FIFA will announce the top three candidates for the first FIFA Ballon d'Or.

If you can't even get into the top three, then what's the point of winning the prize?

And strong dialogue is undoubtedly a very key consideration.

Therefore, before the Madrid derby, both La Liga and the media around the world have hyped up and defined this game as the "Golden Ball Battle".

There is a big way that whoever wins this victory will be able to get the golden ball.

The atmosphere outside has a noticeable impact on the inside of the stadium as well.

……

As soon as the game began, the two sides started a back-and-forth white-knuckle battle.

Cristiano Ronaldo, in particular, was extremely active.

Just eight minutes into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball on the left side, burst into the left side of the penalty area, and crossed to the goal, when Ibrahimovic got up in front of the goal to hit the goal, he was interfered with by Thiago Silva, and Neuer made a decisive attack to save the ball.

Yaya Toure followed up to shoot only to be picked up by Neuer again and saved the ball on the left side of the net.

With two consecutive saves, the German goalkeeper put on a very impressive performance.

But in the 13th minute, Real Madrid still broke through Atletico's goal.

When Iniesta tried to break past Andrea Pirlo with the ball, he was tackled by Nemanja Vidic, who had stepped up early.

Xiaobai fell to the ground after being hit by Nemanja Vidic, but the referee did not award a foul on the Serbian central defender, but signaled for the game to continue.

Vidic passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, who in turn passed to Joaquin.

Joaquín kept the ball on a diagonal pass and picked it up past the Atletico backline and into the left side of the box.

Ronaldo slanted behind Pepe at high speed, stopped the ball on his chest, and faced the attacking Neuer, and directly shot low to break through Atletico Madrid's goal, 1-0!

The Bernabeu Stadium erupted in an instant.

But only 6 minutes later, that is, in the 19th minute, Messi received a direct pass from Alves on the right side, stopped the ball and turned inward, and after getting rid of Ashley Cole, he did not continue to go inside, but suddenly changed direction and walked in a straight line before Yaya Toure was in place.

I saw Messi changing direction continuously, the ball was always controlled by him at his feet, and the whole person touched the ball continuously with a very fast action frequency, and after changing direction, he suddenly took an arrow step and accelerated to the right side of the penalty area.

As soon as he broke through Yaya Toure and attracted Chiellini, Messi sent a diagonal pass.

Torres sprinted head-on, got ahead of goalkeeper Casillas, caught up with Messi's diagonal pass, and fired a low shot into the back of the net behind Casillas.

1 to 1!

Flat!

The Real Madrid fans at the scene were depressed again.

It took a long time to take the lead, why is it flat now?

……

At this moment in the game, it has completely entered a fast-paced offensive battle.

This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two clubs.

Whether it is Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, they all want to cultivate the Madrid derby into the signature competition of La Liga and make it the most influential football competition in the world.

This is the result of a long period of accumulation between the two clubs.

And the style of play of both clubs is relatively good-looking.

Whether it is Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid or Arsene Wenger's Real Madrid, they are all based on superb skills and passing and cutting cooperation, and they are not Mourinho's strict defense tactics.

In addition, the two sides now have more and more superstars, and it can even be said that they are the best in the world.

This makes the Madrid derby more and more interesting.

From a commercial point of view, both sides also consciously made this game more unrestrained.

To put it bluntly, it's not just football, it's a business.

So, a lot of people say that every year the Madrid derby is always played very well, and that's why.

What the two clubs are competing for is actually how to beat their opponents on the basis of ensuring a spectacle style of play.

The referees who officiate the game also understand this, so in the game, many times they are the first to ensure the enjoyment of the game and ensure the smoothness of the game.

After Atletico Madrid's equalizer, the two teams fought against each other, and the atmosphere was completely white-hot.

Here is Messi's cross after passing several people in a row, and there is Real Madrid's three consecutive long-range shots from the periphery, forcing Neuer to make saves again and again...... The game can be described as very unrestrained and happy.

It wasn't until the 36th minute that Yaya Toure was trying to get past Xavi Alonso when he picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area in the middle, but was tripped by the Spanish midfielder and fell to the ground.

The referee gave Real Madrid a free-kick in front.

Cristiano Ronaldo takes the free-kick.

The Portuguese took a deep breath and struck a brilliant and swift ball with his right foot to the right of the Atletico goal.

2 to 1!

The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is boiling again!

Cristiano Ronaldo rushed off the pitch excitedly, running all the way to celebrate his brace.

At the same time, he did not forget to make an encouraging gesture to the Real Madrid fans in the stands, hoping that they could give more violent applause and cheers.

Even before the game, he made it very clear that this game will be against Atletico's superstars.

He wants to prove to the world that he is better than Messi!

Now, he has the answer with a brace!

……

Atletico Madrid entered the halftime break with a goal behind, and when Yang Hao walked into the locker room, his expression was normal and he was not in a hurry at all.

Judging by the performance in the first half, Atletico had the advantage overall.

More chances were created, more shots were taken and more threatened.

But the score was 1-2 down.

It's actually quite normal.

In the face of an open style of play, it is actually a test of the team's ability and efficiency to seize opportunities.

Atletico were a little less efficient tonight.

Yang Hao was not very happy with Di Maria's performance in the first half, and he felt that the Argentine winger did not show his best level when facing Lahm.

For Messi, Yang Hao asked him lightly.

"Cristiano Ronaldo has already scored twice, and you're just doing it?"

Messi raised his head in some surprise and looked at Yang Hao.

He quickly understood what Yang Hao meant.

If you want to prove that you are not worthy of this FIFA Ballon d'Or, it will depend on what kind of performance he puts in.

If, tonight, Atletico Madrid does lose to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, with Cristiano Ronaldo's performance, he has a million reasons to be unhappy with the final attribution of the Ballon d'Or.

Unless, he's a Golden Globe winner.

Therefore, if you want to hold it firmly, you have to press Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid tonight.

Thinking of this, Messi's eyes flashed with a hint of determination.

……

After the rematch in the second half, Atletico took the lead, but the first attack failed to break into Real Madrid's penalty area.

Kaka's long-range shot from the edge of the area slid out of the net.

Casillas kicked the ball forward and kicked it straight across the halfway line.

Thiago Silva had firm control of the landing point when he was heading over the top and headed back to the halfway line.

At this time, the clock had just reached 46 minutes.

Andres Iniesta had his back to the ball and then turned in a nice circle to distribute the ball down the left flank.

Di Maria cut forward quickly, received the ball and sprinted forward along the left wing.

Rahm makes a quick comeback on the inside.

The Argentine first slowed down, and waited until Torres and Kaka in the middle, and Messi at the back point caught up, and then he started from the periphery of the left corner of the penalty area, and an acceleration quickly threw off half of Ram's body.

As soon as he rushed past, Di Maria crossed with his left foot.

Lahm tried to block the ball with his feet, but where could he get it?

Real Madrid's defenders are all on the lookout.

Nemanja Vidic and Giorgio Chiellini flanked Torres in front and back, while Pirlo and Essien retracted at the same time to freeze Kaka.

Ashley Cole followed Messi every step of the way, not daring to let the Argentine take half a step out of his sight.

But when Di Maria passed, Real Madrid's middle was like a big enemy and immediately contracted.

After all, it's easier to create a shot threat in the middle of the pitch with such crosses.

Messi, on the other hand, seized the opportunity and ran sideways from the right side of the penalty area to the middle.

Di Maria's cross was so powerful that it went past Torres and all the defenders in the middle, and instead of looking for Kaka on the left side of the arc of the penalty area, it landed on the right side of the arc.

Because Di Maria's passing position is almost the same as the line of the small penalty area, it is really unexpected to pass back at this time, and what is even more unexpected is that Messi keeps up, regardless of 3721, and directly pulls his legs to play.

At the scene, I heard a violent muffled sound in the air, and before I even reacted, I saw that the ball had been vigorously pulled out by Messi's left foot.

Ashley Cole, who followed Messi all the way, turned sideways to block it, but Messi hit the goal with his left foot, where could he block it?

The ball flew out at lightning speed and drilled into the right side of Real Madrid's goal with lightning speed.

Casillas didn't have time to react to such a shot.

It's so fast!

It's so sudden!

Everyone in the audience was stunned!

"World ...... World Wave!! ”

"Super World Wave !!"

"Messi!"

"In the 46th minute of the second half, Messi broke through Real Madrid's goal again with an amazing super world wave!"

"2 to 2!"

"It's so exciting!"

"My God, Di Maria's pass was clever, and Messi's volley was wonderful."

"This ball really looks like Zidane's flying fairy back then, but it must be noted that Messi's position is closer to the right than Zidane, farther away from the goal, the angle is more off, and at the same time, it is a left-footed shot, which is more difficult."

"It was a really surprising shot."

"Normally, no one would be so bold to start with a straight kick, more of a stop, adjust and then play."

"But we can see from the slow motion that Messi is very resolute, as soon as he rushes up, he doesn't care about anything, he picks up his feet and hits."

"2 to 2!"

"The two sides are back on the same starting line."

"We just watched Cristiano Ronaldo's defoliated ball, and now we see Messi's super world wave, which is really worthy of the Madrid derby! Just watching the amazing performances of this group of superstars is worth the ticket price! ”

"Especially seeing Messi's super world wave, it's so exciting!"

"It's a goal that could go for the Puskas Goal of the Year!"

……

When the score returned to a draw, the game gradually returned to parity.

Atletico continued to dominate possession and the tempo of the game, while Real threatened their opponents with quick counter-attacks and sharp attacks.

The two sides still did not adopt a conservative strategy.

Even at the 60th minute, Real Madrid took the lead in making a substitution.

Higuain replaces Essien.

At this time, Real Madrid changed the formation to play 442 tactics, with Higuain and Ibrahimovic forming a double striker, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left, Joaquin on the right, Yaya Toure and Pirlo partnering in the middle of the midfield.

It can be seen from Arsene Wenger's substitution adjustment that he wants to eat Atletico Madrid in tonight's game and wash away the decline in the record against Atletico Madrid in the past few years.

There is also a very clear sign, Ronaldo is pressing very forward, which puts a lot of defensive pressure on Atletico's right side.

Yang Hao also hurriedly made adjustments, but there were no substitutions.

Alves' ability as a player is quite good, on the surface it seems that he is strong in attack and weak in defense, and even many people feel that his defense is terrible.

Actually, if he focuses on defense, the level of defense is still very good.

Yang Hao also asked Di Maria to retreat, reinforce the midfield, and also collect it in the ribs.

The reason is very simple, Real Madrid's set of 442, with Yaya Toure and Pirlo in the middle of the midfield, covers a limited area.

When attacking, the full-backs were also pushing forward, with Lahm and Ashley Cole both playing an important role in the wide attack.

Inevitably, the defence, especially when it comes to attacking and defending, will have problems in their midfield hinterland.

This is not the first time.

Back in Arsene Wenger's time at Arsenal, his transition from attack to defence was often problematic.

It's just that after arriving at Real Madrid, the level of the players has improved, the ability has gone up, and many problems have been made up.

But now, the midfield combination of Pirlo and Yaya Toure is still a little thin.

After the adjustment, Yang Hao sat firmly in Diaoyutai, waiting for the opportunity to appear.

In the 69th minute, after Yang Hao adjusted, there was a very good opportunity for the first time.

After Atletico Madrid's own half, Andres Iniesta sent a wonderful pass, Di Maria quickly counterattacked, dribbled along the left rib, and burst from his own half all the way to the periphery of Real Madrid's penalty area.

Casillas decisively dropped the ball and pounced on the ball out.

The ball ended up in the side-netting and couldn't find the back of the net.

After missing a single knife, Di Maria fell to his knees in the Real Madrid penalty area.

Wenger also seemed to have guessed Yang Hao's intentions and immediately stepped up his attack.

But in the 79th minute, it was Atletico Madrid's own steal on the periphery of the penalty area, Xavi Alonso's diagonal pass to the left sideline.

Marcelo stepped forward quickly, grabbed Joaquin and Lahm, kicked the ball forward, and accelerated himself to catch up.

Torres quickly ran to the left and pulled Vidic away.

The pace of the Atletico captain, especially the speed of the frontal impact, Vidic has suffered many times.

Even, he has repeatedly been under the impact of Torres's speed, full of ugliness.

Therefore, every time he faced Torres, Vidic did not dare to be careless and followed very closely.

As soon as the situation is not right, he will foul the first time and never let Torres rush over.

But this time Marcelo handled it very smartly.

After seeing Torres pull Vidic out, he took another look at Kaka and Messi's position.

This is a tradition in Atletico's attack.

Torres pulls the side, and there will be a person on top.

Kaka is at the back, and it must be Messi.

Marcelo just glanced at it and noticed that Messi, dressed in a red and white striped shirt, was quickly diagonally diagonally in the middle.

The Brazilian was quick to go with a diagonal left-footed cross that slotted the ball towards the background between Nemanja Vidic and Giellini Chiellini.

The trick of the pass was that Messi was right between Vidic and Chiellini, who was left-footed and Chiellini was also left-footed.

Chiellini, though, defended with his back.

And Vidic is right-footed.

In this case, both of Real Madrid's central defenders are difficult to intercept in the middle of the game.

But what about Messi?

Although Chiellini reacted quickly and turned to catch up with Messi at the first time, Messi is a left-footed player, and he is very good at handling the ball from the left.

The Argentine took the left foot forward, and then chased it, and then controlled the ball with his left foot, and the whole person also went to the left side of the penalty spot.

Chiellini couldn't do anything about it.

Casillas once again dropped the ball.

But this time it was completely different from Di Maria's one-handed situation.

At that time, Di Maria was forced to get up and hit the goal.

But now?

Messi burst into the box with the ball, and no one dared to touch him.

As soon as he moved, he fell to the ground, and it was a penalty!

When everyone was expecting Casillas to continue to perform the magic of San Cassie, just like the one-on-one shot that saved Di Maria just now, when Messi's one-handed save was made, Messi deceived Casillas with a feint after an obvious abrupt pause.

Messi's frequency of action is too fast!

When it was almost there, Casillas was directly fooled and fell to the ground first.

As a result, Messi slid the ball to the left and then chased it up and fired a low left-footed shot.

The ball flew past Casillas and into the back of the net.

3 to 2!

It's reversed!

In an instant, the entire Bernabeu stadium erupted in the exclamations of fans.

Messi was also so excited that the whole person jumped.

……

The ensuing competition became more intense than ever.

Real Madrid began to fight back desperately.

Atletico Madrid is also ready to attack at every opportunity, especially taking advantage of Real Madrid's impetuousness to try to break Real Madrid's goal again.

However, Atletico Madrid counterattacked several times, especially in the 77th minute, under the instigation of a long pass by Xavi Alonso, Torres forced Vidic and suddenly reverted in the box.

Andres Iniesta followed up with a furious shot that bounced off the right-hand post and created a chaotic battle in the box.

This attack made Real Madrid fully aware of the danger and began to become restrained.

But the smell of gunpowder on both sides has also been thoroughly beaten.

During a scramble for a header, Ronaldo hit the corner of Pepe's eye with his elbow when he and Pepe jumped at the same time, and the corner of his eye was directly broken.

There was a clash between the players, but the referee gave it a well-timed yellow card.

The last threatening attack of the game was Xavi Alonso's precise diagonal long pass from the left, and the unguarded Messi's header near the right corner of the six-yard box missed the target and slid out slightly.

The Argentine also missed a great opportunity to score a hat-trick.

So far this season, he has yet to score a hat-trick in La Liga.

In the end, Atletico Madrid reversed Real Madrid 3-2 with Messi's brace.

……

Villarreal beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at home.

Deportivo La Coruna beat Levante 2-1 away.

Barcelona beat Getafe 3-1 away.

Valencia narrowly beat Sevilla 2-1 away.

Atletico Madrid reversed Real Madrid 3-2 away......

When the 10th round of La Liga was played, the La Liga standings once again saw a major change.

With a record of 9 wins and 1 draw, Valencia continues to lead the La Liga standings with 28 points.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have been quite solid so far this season.

Although Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid in this round, they still scored 23 points and ranked third in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid also rushed to the same position as Real Madrid with this Madrid derby victory, but with the advantage of net matches between them, they surpassed Real Madrid and ranked second in La Liga.

……

The 10th round of La Liga was played, and three days later, the second leg of the 4th round of the Copa del Rey was ushered in.

Atletico host Las Palmas.

Yang Hao's side continued to play with an all-substitute line-up, beating Las Palmas 2-0 at home.

Suarez and Robert Lewandowski scored one goal each.

……

At the weekend, the 11th round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid won 3-0 at home to Osasuna thanks to Messi's brace.

Barcelona beat Villarreal 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Diego Milito and Carlos Tevez.

Real Madrid narrowly beat Sporting Gijón 1-0 away from home thanks to Gonzalo Higuain's goal.

And the most concerned by the outside world in this round is the duel between the two local tyrant teams.

Valencia host Getafe.

As a result, in the opening eight minutes, Villa scored for Valencia.

In the 63rd minute, Lucio's goal helped Valencia seal the win.

In the end, the Bat Legion defeated Getafe 2-0.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have won seven in a row since the start of the season.

Yang Hao was not surprised by this.

That's always been the case with Carlo Ancelotti's coaching, and once he's straightened out, it's a winning streak.

But there is also a hidden danger in coaching An Fatzi, that is, after a wave of consecutive wins, it is often easy to have problems, and even directly have a huge decline, and finally lose the league championship.

From the current point of view, Valencia's squad configuration is really quite strong.

Even Atletico Madrid is ashamed of this.

It's not that Atletico don't have a good hand.

If you look at it from the perspective of 2023, Atletico Madrid's current lineup not only does not lose, but can even turn Valencia into slag.

But the problem is that it's 2010.

There are too many young players in the team, so Atletico's bench depth is still a bit problematic.

The strength of other teams in La Liga this season is obviously improving, which puts pressure on Atletico Madrid.

But Yang Hao's goal is still very clear, continue to chase Valencia and wait for Ancelotti to make a mistake.

……

After playing from the 11th round of La Liga, it ushered in a week of rest.

It also gave Atletico and the rest of the team a rare respite.

A week later, in the 12th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged promoted Real Sociedad away.

And no one could have imagined that this game would eventually turn into a crazy massacre.

You know, Real Sociedad has been doing well this season and is currently ranked 10th in La Liga.

But in the first 16 minutes, after Messi and Torres completed a wall-hitting cooperation, they hit the goal with his left foot on the right side of the arc, and the football hung directly into the net in the lower right corner of the goal, 1-0!

Just three minutes later, Kaka sent a wonderful pass, and Iniesta hit the goal from close range on the left side of the small penalty area to extend the score again, 2-0!

In the 27th minute, Patrice Evra crossed from the left, and Torres' kick from the middle of the penalty area broke through the Real Sociedad goal.

In the 35th minute, a long pass from Ramos, David Silva formed a single knife in the front, picked the attacking Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, and sent the ball into the goal, 4-0!

Before the end of the first half, it was Messi's goal again, which helped Atletico further expand the score, 5-0!

After the second half of the rematch, in the 61st minute, Messi scored a hat trick, 6-0!

Subsequently, Messi assisted the substitute Suarez twice in the 68th and 76th minutes respectively, helping Atletico Madrid finally lock the score at 8-0!

It's a crazy win!

No one expected that after a week's rest, Atletico would play such a wild victory.

However, in this round, all the teams performed well.

Valencia beat Villarreal 2-1 away.

Barcelona thrashed Almeria 4-0 away.

Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 5-1 at home.

The strong teams basically won, so the ranking of La Liga also remains the same.

……

Three days later, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid hosted Zhilina.

It was a no-brainer game.

Atletico Madrid had already advanced to the top of the group ahead of schedule, while Gillina finished bottom of the group and exited early.

In this case, Yang Hao adopted a rotation lineup, allowing young players to play and take the lead.

As a result, to Yang Hao's surprise, the three goals came from the three young players in the team.

First, Hazard received a pass from Luka Modric in the 34th minute and found the back of the net for Gilina.

After the rematch in the second half, Suarez received an assist from Hazard and scored another goal for Atletico Madrid, 2-0!

Just before the end of the game, two substitutes contributed a wonderful combination, Isco broke through with the ball on the edge of the penalty area, and from the dense defense, after connecting two defenders, assisted Koke to score a goal.

3 to 0!

Atletico Madrid managed to beat Gillina to win five consecutive group stage games.

Yang Hao was not surprised by the victory.

But he was full of praise for the performances of the three youngsters, especially Eden Hazard and Isco who came off the bench.

Hazard made a pass and a shot and was very eye-catching.

He is now also an important part of Yang Hao's tactical territory.

Isco has gradually emerged this season, both in La Liga and as a substitute in La Liga.

This assist is the result of his training in the Atletico Madrid academy system over the past few years.

……

At the weekend, the 13th round of La Liga.

This round is also full of strong dialogues.

The most surprising thing was that Benitez's Getafe came up with a 3-1 comeback to Sevilla after conceding a goal away from home, which surprised everyone.

Villarreal beat Zaragoza 3-0 away.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, held their ground at home and took the lead twice, beating Espanyol 3-2.

By the way, in this game, Messi contributed one pass and one shot.

Since the 9th round of the league, Messi has scored in 5 consecutive league games, scoring 10 goals.

This performance can be described as very eye-catching.

Valencia beat Almeria 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Villa and Robin van Persie.

The most important and surprising highlight of this round was Barcelona's 3-0 home win over Real Madrid thanks to goals from Xavi, Arjen Robben and Diego Milito.

Ahead of this game, everyone was largely bullish on Arsene Wenger's side.

Because Mourinho's team has not performed particularly well this season, and it is basically defense-oriented.

But in this game, Mourinho completely guarded Real Madrid without any temper.

It has also been proven that when Mourinho is determined to defend, it is difficult for anyone or team to break through their defense, including Real Madrid.

Arsene Wenger was furious after the game, believing Jose Mourinho's side were playing a kind of anti-football.

'When they're doing everything they can to stop us from getting the ball and dribbling, it's hard for any team to play properly.

"It's not what it should be in football."

"They're not here to play, they're here to fight!"

Jose Mourinho also fired back.

The Portuguese madman said Arsene Wenger's side were not as tough on the pitch as he was after the game.

This suddenly made Wenger even more angry.

Losing this game, Real Madrid relinquished third place in the league and Barcelona took their place.

……

Entering December, according to the schedule, everyone is waiting for FIFA to announce the list of the top three candidates for the first FIFA Golden Ball Award.

This attracts the attention of the whole world.

In this case, Atletico defeated Levante 3-0 away thanks to Messi's brace.

Barcelona beat Osasuna 1-0 away.

Getafe thrashed Real Mallorca 3-0 at home.

And this round has seen another exciting strong conversation, Real Madrid hosts Valencia.

Neither side was able to find the back of the net for more than an hour ahead, with Casillas and Cech both putting in good performances and both teams being solid at the back.

But in the 64th minute, Villa opened the scoring for Valencia.

But in the 72nd and 86th minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to help Real Madrid reverse Valencia at home.

In the end, Real Madrid won all three points at home.

Carlo Ancelotti's winning streak ends at nine.

However, Valencia are still the leaders of La Liga, two points ahead of Atletico.

It was also after the 14th round of La Liga that FIFA announced the list of the top three Ballon d'Or awards.
