378 Goal Maniac! Hurry up, we don't have time! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
2-0 away, 5-0 at home, Atletico Madrid slaughtered the big dark horse Tottenham Hotspur 7-0 on aggregate over two legs, and marched into Wembley Stadium in London with their heads held high, which caused a warm reaction from fans all over the world.
In the other game, Real Madrid drew 1-1 away at Manchester United and then returned home to beat the Red Devils 3-1, and Arsene Wenger's side finally raised their eyebrows in this direct dialogue with Ferguson!
In particular, Cristiano Ronaldo, a superstar from Manchester United, performed well in this game, not only scoring the first goal of the game.
After Wayne Rooney equalised for Manchester United, the aggregate score was 2-2, and it was Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the 54th minute that helped Real Madrid take the lead again.
In the end, Andrea Pirlo assisted Benzema, who started the game, to score the third goal.
After the game, Ferguson was disappointed with the defeat in this game, believing that Manchester United had been on a close footing with Real Madrid for most of the game, and the reason why the loss was important was because of the referee's favoritism towards Real Madrid.
Arsene Wenger countered the blow, pointing out that Real Madrid had an advantage in all stats and that the victory was a matter of course.
Real Madrid qualified for the Champions League final with an aggregate score of 4-2 and completed a meeting with Atletico Madrid, which once again attracted the attention and appreciation of the media and fans around the world.
Both of these teams have the most extravagant squads in world football today.
Atletico Madrid has four Ballon d'Or winners, while Real Madrid have only one Ballon d'Or, but they also have a number of top stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Joaquín, Andrea Pirlo, Yaya Toure, Ashley Cole, Lahm and Nemanja Vidic.
Although the Champions League final is a Madrid derby, its influence and attention are properly the top in the world.
Yang Hao himself watched the two legs of the Champions League, and he felt that there was a certain problem with Manchester United's backline.
Lescote couldn't take Vidic's place.
Incidentally, Atletico were interested in the Brazilian full-backs, Fabio and Rafael, but they ended up going to Manchester United.
Judging by their recent performances, none of them have developed as expected.
Although they both played the main team at Manchester United, neither Manchester United nor Ferguson could use these two players reasonably.
This is what Yang Hao often said before, there is a big difference between Brazilian fullbacks and European fullbacks.
Fabio and Rafael had to improve their physicality in order to adapt to the Premier League and integrate into Manchester United, which led to a decline in their entire technique and flexibility.
This loses that Brazilian flavor of the players.
Yang Hao saw it was a pity.
If these two players don't go to the Premier League, but come to La Liga, even if they don't come to Atletico, they will definitely be able to develop better.
But when I went to the Premier League and Manchester United, transformation was inevitable, and the fall was inevitable.
……
When the news of the Champions League final again between the Madrid duo spread around the world, the competition for the title of the new La Liga season has also completely entered the white heat.
With Real Madrid dropping points, the two teams with the biggest title calls are Valencia and Atletico Madrid.
And both teams also have their own advantages.
Atletico are playing on two fronts, while Valencia are concentrating all their forces in La Liga.
Ancelotti even shouted that if he didn't win La Liga this season, he would take the blame and resign!
This Italian dead fat guy is really daring to shout!
He has worked hard in Valencia for several years and is very much loved by the players in the dressing room, which gives him the courage to shout such slogans.
If a manager who is not treated well by the players in the locker room shouts like this, the player will simply tell him to get out.
In the 35th round, Valencia played a day earlier, and at home with Villa's brace and Van Persie's goal, they beat Real Sociedad 3-0 at home.
This is tantamount to leaving all the pressure to Atletico.
Although Real Madrid is unlikely to win the championship, they still show great courage.
With Ronaldo's big four, he slaughtered Sevilla 6-2 away.
Arsene Wenger also shouted that he would never give up hope until the last minute.
Real Madrid will fight for the treble until the last moment!
It was only at this moment that everyone realised that there was still one team in European football this season fighting for the treble.
That's Arsene Wenger's Real Madrid!
Having won the Spanish Copa del Rey, Real Madrid is currently behind in La Liga, but there is still a glimmer of life, and the Champions League has reached the final.
If it can really fight back in La Liga and win the Champions League, it will be the first treble in Real Madrid's history.
Although the hope is relatively slim, what if it happens?
Arsene Wenger's shouting also completely inspired Real Madrid's players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Casillas and others, to come forward and call on the team to remain united.
Ibrahimovic's recent form has not been ideal, in order to renew his contract with the team, his agent has been in trouble for half a year, this time Wenger gritted his teeth and decided to temporarily hide Ibrahimovic and arrange for Benzema to start.
The Real Madrid dressing room was united as a result, beating Manchester United at home to reach the final.
Atletico are at home to Rayo Vallecano in this round.
Although before the game, everyone felt that Atletico Madrid's victory was a high probability event, the game process was still very dangerous.
Cooper's team defended very solidly, very solid, and the counter-attack was quite sharp.
In the end, Atletico narrowly defeated Rayo Vallecano 2-1 thanks to goals from Messi and Torres.
Jose Mourinho's Barcelona defeated Espanyol 2-0 at home to defend fourth place in the league.
……
3 days later, the 36th round of La Liga.
In this round, the first to start the game became Atletico Madrid, which played away from home.
The opponent is Racing Santander.
I don't know if it was stimulated by Ronaldo's senior bare before, Messi also performed extremely strongly in this game, and in just 10 minutes of the opening game, he received an assist from Di Maria and opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid.
1 to 0!
4 minutes later, a wonderful pass from Adriano made Messi go to the next city, 2-0!
In the 25th minute of the first half, Iniesta sent a wonderful pass in the penalty area, and after Messi burst into the penalty area, he stopped the ball and shook the defender, hit the goal, and scored a hat trick, 3-0!
Before the end of the first half, it was Di Maria who forced a breakthrough with the ball on the left side, and Messi answered in the middle and sent the ball into the goal of Racing Santander again, 4-0!
Happy seniors!
Only in the first half, Messi played the data of the big four!
Everyone thought it was incredible.
But that's the truth!
After the rematch in the second half, Adriano received an assist from Di Maria and scored another goal for Atletico Madrid, 5-0!
Kaka then also scored a goal, assisted by Xavi Alonso.
In the end, Atletico Madrid slaughtered Racing Santander 6-0 away.
In addition to Messi's impressive performance in the quadruple, Di Maria, who scored a hat-trick of assists, was also eye-catching, and the Argentine winger is fast approaching his own outstanding performance.
……
Atletico Madrid thrashed Racing Santander away and Real Madrid's performance was equally unambiguous.
With Getafe equalising twice, Real Madrid beat Getafe 4-2 at home thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick and Benzema's goal.
Rafael Benitez's side, despite their pragmatic counter-attacking tactics, could not stop the wolf-like Real Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti's Valencia beat Espanyol 2-1.
But the Bats didn't play well in this game.
Carlo Ancelotti's side scored a goal in the opening nine minutes before Robin van Persie equalised for the Spaniards.
The scorer was Bam Adebayo.
And in the 24th minute, Juan Mata scored again for Valencia.
2-1, Valencia leads.
From this moment on, the game was completely into the rhythm of the Spaniards.
Valverde's side aggressively attacked at home, forcing Valencia into a very difficult position.
Carlo Ancelotti's team adopted defensive counter-attacking tactics, always sticking to their own half, and even did not hesitate to use procrastination tricks to drag the score to the end.
The Bats narrowly beat Espanyol 2-1.
Carlo Ancelotti was humiliated by Ernesto Valverde after the game.
But as de la Morena, the gold medal host of Radio Serre, analyzed, after this round of matches, Valencia's prospects for winning the championship are clear.
Why?
Because they lack the temperament to win the championship.
The so-called temperament, which sounds ethereal, is actually able to calm down at critical moments and avoid gains and losses.
Not to mention a manager, it's easier to do that with a group of players.
But at critical moments, Ancelotti adopted a more conservative and cautious attitude, even at the expense of putting down his body and adopting defensive counter-attacking tactics to avoid mistakes as much as possible.
The goal is to win the championship!
As long as you win the championship, then a lot of things will be easier to do.
If Valencia is still reckless at such a critical moment, it is easy to drop the chain at a critical moment.
But why shouldn't Atletico be so cautious?
De la Morena said with a smile on the show, "Atletico Madrid is the most champion and kingly team in Spain and even world football, and their players are domineering and confident on the field. ”
"What's more, they have a lot of experience winning titles."
As for who will win the championship in the end, de la Morena said it is difficult to say.
……
At the weekend, the 37th round of La Liga.
Atletico scored for the Bianconeri in their home game against Hercules, despite creating a corner from the opening attack.
But in the games that followed, Atletico didn't do well.
On the one hand, because of the continuous battle, Yang Hao rotated and arranged many young players to play.
As De la Morena said, young players like Toni Kroos, Eden Hazard and Angel Di Maria were a bit out of their breath at crucial moments and desperate to extend their lead and take their opponents.
As a result, in the 66th minute, he was instead exploited by Trezeguet, seized the opportunity, scored a goal, and equalized.
Yang Hao had to make a substitution in the 70th minute, and Messi came on as a substitute.
Four minutes later, the Argentine scored a goal for Atletico.
In the end, the Sheets narrowly beat Hercules 2-1.
After the game, Yang Hao expressed affirmation and encouragement to the young players.
'I don't think it's a bad thing for a group of young 20-year-olds to come on the pitch at such a critical moment with a lot of pressure on their backs and play like this against the opposition.
'On the contrary, I think our young players are doing really well, they just lack some experience.
After the Atletico Madrid match, Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 3-1 away thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.
Arsene Wenger's side are still biting Atletico Madrid, while also waiting for Valencia to make a mistake.
In this battle, Valencia faced a sworn enemy in the same city, Levante!
……
On the evening of May 15, the Etihad Stadium in Valencia.
In front of the home team's coach's box, Carlo Ancelotti couldn't sit still at all.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Italian coach has always been as steady as a mountain, with his hands in his pockets, commanding the players from time to time, adjusting the position of the players, and giving the players absolute trust and support the rest of the time.
But only he knew that his hands in his trouser pockets were clenched so tightly that his nails were almost bleeding from his palms.
He was already trembling with excitement, and even had a feeling of weakness.
This made him hesitate to return to his seat to avoid collapsing to the ground.
He didn't care about anything else at all now.
What tactics, what state, what play, it's all bullshit!
There was only one thought in his head right now.
Attack!
Hurry up!
We're running out of time!
Hurry up and score a goal!
He was eager to rip his throat open and shout at the players.
But what little sanity he had left told him it wasn't a good idea.
Now, the most important thing for Valencia is not to be impulsive, but to be calm and take advantage of opportunities.
So, Ancelotti tried his best to behave normally.
He knows that tonight's battle is very crucial if he can win or not.
If it is drawn, then the title will be handed over to Atletico Madrid!
The Sheets have won the La Liga title for eight times in a row!
Let them win the championship again, who can stand it?
Come on!
Come on!
Hurry up!
Don't hesitate, you don't have time!
Ancelotti couldn't wait to crush his back molars and keep screaming in his heart.
The Valencia players on the pitch seemed to hear the call from the manager, and they were attacking non-stop.
Speaking of which, this game was also really, really bad.
Just 20 minutes into the game, Levante's defender Rivas was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards.
There is nothing wrong with the punishment.
But this red card made Levante extremely conservative, and they even shrank in their own half for the whole game, even inside and outside the big penalty area, and defended tightly.
This in turn made it difficult for Valencia's attack to unfold.
Carlo Ancelotti tried to use Juan Mata and Nani to run on the wings, but it didn't work well.
Villa and Robin van Persie both threatened Levante's goal on a number of occasions, with Villa volleying from the left and Robin van Persie also receiving a cross from the right for Nani to burst into the top of the pitch.
But as a result, it was all related to the goal.
God seemed to be playing a joke on Valencia, and scoring goals was like playing hide and seek with the Bat Army.
Carlo Ancelotti has used up all his substitutions and he has exhausted all his tactics.
The rest can only rely on the players on the field.
Time slowly entered stoppage time.
All the Bat Legion fans at the Etihad Stadium have seen the efforts of the Valencia players, and they are all still cheering, cheering, and roaring......
Once again, it has entered the 30-meter area of Levante.
Once again, this damned sworn enemy of the same city retreated to the front of the big forbidden area.
Continuous crossing, patiently looking for opportunities.
Alba on the left came up and passed to De Rossi, then to Aquilani and to Raphinha.
Raphinha tried to break down the right and the cross was blocked, with Nani grabbing the ball and passing it back.
The ball was back at Aquilani's feet.
The Italian midfielder took control and took a step to the right to see Van Persie back in front.
I saw Aquilani kick a through pass from the inside of his right foot and send the ball forward.
Van Persie didn't stop, passed straight back to Aquilani and ran away quickly to make way of space.
Aquilani sees the gap ahead.
The defender was pulled away by Robin van Persie, and there was a chance on the right side of the arc at the edge of the penalty area, so he immediately sent a through ball.
Juan Mata received the ball on this flank, but was immediately tangled up by a defender.
The Spaniard knocked the ball back to Sneijder.
Sneijder, on the edge of the arc, did not use his right foot to catch the ball, but met Juan Mata's pass with his left foot, stopped laterally to the left, and the whole person also turned around, caught up and sent a through ball with his left foot.
The ball went right past Levante's defenders and landed on the left side of the box.
Villa cut in at high speed, got ahead of the defenders and caught Sneijder's through ball.
But the defenders also retreated quickly.
I saw that although Villa was fast, the moment he stopped the ball, the whole person stepped on the brakes and stopped directly.
Everyone thought he was going to get up and hit the door.
In particular, the defenders also made a sharp stop, and they all pounced.
There were two defenders who wanted to flank Villa and block the angle of his right-footed shot.
But at this moment, to everyone's surprise, Villa did not shoot with his right foot, but poked the ball in the direction of the bottom line, and the whole person started quickly and chased after him.
Stop, restart.
This series of actions allowed Villa to shake off the defender in an instant, and after catching up with the ball on the left side of the small penalty area, he grabbed the defender before he could get into place, and pulled out a furious shot with his left foot.
He knew that the goalkeeper could kick the near corner, so he opted to hit the goalkeeper's crotch.
Levante's goalkeeper also reacted very quickly, going directly to the ground and using his body to block Villa's shot.
The angle of the shot is just too small.
Villa's shot was blocked by goalkeeper Munua, but the goalkeeper couldn't control the ball.
Because the gourd baby's shooting power is very large.
This was clearly intentional by Villa.
And when Villa shot, he didn't stop there, but immediately shook off the blocked defender and chased after the goalkeeper.
He just deliberately volleyed hard and waited for his chance to get out.
When Munua went down to block the ball, he wanted to grab the ball and control the ball at the first time.
But the ball bounced a little too far into his hands.
When Munua was about to get up and pounce on him, he saw a figure in front of him, and Villa had already killed him, and swept the ball with his right foot against the rebounding football.
In the eyes of everyone in the stadium, the ball drilled into Levante's goal.
After Villa hit the goal, he didn't hesitate at all, turned around and ran, kept running, kept yelling, so that everyone in the stadium, and even all the fans who watched the game all over the world, felt the excitement and excitement in his heart at this moment.
"The ball is in!!!"
"Villa !!"
"David Villa has finally scored!!"
"Valencia scored the winner from Villa in the final crucial moment!!"
"1 to 0!"
"My God, I don't know how to describe the feeling of this moment, I have no words at all!"
"That's the beauty of football!"
"Until the last minute, no one knows what the outcome will be."
"Valencia bombarded indiscriminately for 90 minutes, and finally in the last minute of stoppage time, Villa scored a goal worth tens of millions on the left side of Levante's goal with his individual ability!"
"1 to 0!"
"Great Villa! Great Valencia!! ”
With the complete gaffe of the TV commentators, the Valencia fans inside the stadium went just as crazy.
Ancelotti even rushed out of the coach's command area out of control at the moment of Villa's goal, and he completely carried away with his hands raised in the air, rushing towards Villa, tearing his throat along the way, and constantly roaring.
The whole stadium is completely insane!
Villa finally fell to his knees on the side of the court, still roaring and venting in his mouth.
The Valencia fans inside the stadium were completely out of control.
There are even many people who can't help but cry.
How can such a competition make people not move and cry?
……
When Yang Hao heard the news of the results of the Valencia game, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly.
Carlo Ancelotti has a big hurdle!
Although the score of 1-0 is not beautiful enough, the most important thing for Valencia today is not to pursue beauty, but to pursue results.
The first time is always extra important!
Valencia, on the other hand, are now making their first move.
"With their performance in this game, at the Riazor Stadium a week later, Deschamps' team will not be able to stop Valencia."
Juanma Lillo is not very optimistic about the final round.
Yang Hao nodded, and didn't pay too much attention to it.
In the final analysis, Atletico Madrid has won eight consecutive championships in La Liga, although they all won the championship by strength, it is not necessarily a bad thing to be won by Valencia.
Whether it's business or being a person, you really can't take all the winners.
When you want to take all the benefits, the end result is that you are on the opposite side of everyone.
So, in a way, Valencia won the title, which is a good thing for Atletico.
Besides, La Liga also needs to introduce a tough competition like this season to further arouse the interest of fans.
It's always Atletico who win the title, and that's really boring.
However, after losing La Liga, Yang Hao could only aim for the Champions League.
Winning the Champions League is really tempting for Atletico.
What's more, hasn't Platini always wanted to suppress Atletico?
Now, Atletico Madrid is going to show a crushing, dominating performance in the Champions League!
If Atletico can dominate the Champions League and La Liga faces stiff competition, it is conceivable that La Liga's influence will be further enhanced.
Of course, Yang Hao is not absolutely sure, he can only say that he will do his best to fight!
……
Valencia narrowly beat Levante 1-0 at home to retain their position as La Liga leaders.
This war caused a huge repercussion around the world.
Countless media and fans are loudly appreciating Valencia's performance, especially the final finale Villa's stunner, which has won the favor of a large number of media and fans.
Media and fans around the world have praised the intensity of the race for the La Liga title this season, and they all feel that the world's number one league should be like this.
In the final round, Valencia is in first place, followed by Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, and there are still three teams expected to win the title.
This has been hard to see in La Liga in the last few years.
But it is precisely because of this that during the final sprint to the championship, La Liga has received strong attention from media and fans around the world, and the ratings of the game have repeatedly reached new highs.
Especially in the penultimate round, all the major platforms of major broadcasters have set record high ratings.
The data revealed by La Liga is also ahead of other European leagues in terms of attention on the global Internet, including the level of discussion among fans.
This is enough to prove that the influence of La Liga is still climbing.
Fans and the media will be watching who wins the championship.
But for the club, for the operators and the investors, the championship is just a season.
What everyone is more concerned about is whether the soil of La Liga is still fertile and whether it can still maintain rapid growth?
With Valencia rising to prominence this season, the strength of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid has convinced everyone that La Liga is more competitive than ever.
And let's not forget that within La Liga, there is also Getafe, a team that, like Valencia, has been invested by the Middle East's sovereign fund.
What Valencia can do, give Getafe some time, and they can do it.
At that time, how fierce will the competition in La Liga be?
……
The final round of La Liga has attracted the attention of the whole world.
Especially strong teams such as Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Valencia have made the media and fans around the world worry about their every move.
Interestingly, in the final round, the strong teams were almost all away.
Except for Real Madrid.
Jose Mourinho's position was threatened, but the Portuguese was hardened and adamantly stated that he would not resign.
His team travels to Rayo Vallecano in this round.
After conceding a goal first, Vallecano was reversed 2-1.
Real Madrid defeated Almeria 5-1 at home thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.
Atletico Madrid played Real Mallorca away from home.
In the 12th and 18th minutes of the first half, Atletico led by two goals thanks to goals from Messi and Torres.
After the rematch in the second half, Messi scored another goal in the 59th minute to seal the victory in advance.
However, Real Mallorca scored twice in the 62nd and 70th minutes, taking advantage of Atletico Madrid's substitutions.
At the crucial moment, Messi scored a hat-trick in the 81st minute to help Atletico Madrid defeat Real Mallorca 4-2 away.
Valencia also played a difficult game away to Deportivo La Coruna in this round.
Valencia opened the scoring in the opening four minutes and Robin van Persie opened the scoring for the Bats.
But then the game went into a complete stalemate, and Deportivo La Coruna, who played at home, even showed more aggressiveness than Valencia, creating more chances and making Valencia very embarrassed.
But in the 94th minute, Villa's goal helped Valencia completely kill the suspense.
In the end, Carlo Ancelotti's side beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 away.
……
With the end of the finale of the 38th round of La Liga, the final championship fell to Valencia.
Carlo Ancelotti's side relied on their consistent performances this season to defeat Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid to win the 10/11 La Liga title.
This is also the first time that Atletico Madrid has given up the La Liga title after winning eight consecutive La Liga titles!
Looking at the performance of the Bat Legion throughout the season, it is indeed deserving of this reward.
At the same time, there are many Atletico fans who regret that the Sheets Army finally missed out on the title.
Because throughout this season's La Liga, Atletico Madrid have scored 116 goals and conceded only 23 goals.
Not only in La Liga, but also in Europe's top league, the team with the most attacking firepower, but also the team with the best defense.
Among the 116 goals, Messi alone contributed 50 goals, which can be called a goal maniac.
Last season, Atletico scored 104 goals and conceded 21.
This is enough to prove that Atletico's attacking firepower is stronger than last season.
Messi's goal tally has further increased from 49 to 50, making him the first player in the history of Europe's top league to score more than 50 league goals in a single season, which is not too outrageous!
So much so that there are many media and fans who are lamenting that world football has completely entered the era of offensive football!
What's more, after Messi scored 49 goals last season, many people are wondering if the Argentine's goal explosion was short-lived.
Even, there is a lot of media that has been hyping and exaggerating Messi's performance this season.
Especially during the period when Ronaldo shined, Messi was even more questioned.
But now, the Argentine has delivered a perfect answer of 50 goals in a single season.
Yang Hao congratulated Valencia on winning the league title after the team's win over Real Mallorca, while also admitting that Valencia's overall performance was indeed more consistent.
'We made some mistakes and that's not unacceptable because any team, no matter how strong it is, loses, it's inevitable.'
Yang Hao believes that this season has been perfect for Atletico.
"I can't ask more of them because in my mind, they've reached an extremely high level and I'm very happy with all of them."
"But we also have to be aware that from now on, Valencia will be one of the favourites to win La Liga, and they will be our strongest rivals every season and we need to prepare early."
Yang Hao's implication is that he recognized the rise of Valencia.
For Real Madrid, Yang Hao feels that Atletico Madrid has an advantage in the next Champions League final, whether it is psychological or strength, "We undoubtedly have more advantages than our opponents." ”
"So, the most important task for us in the coming week is how to turn advantage into victory!"
As for the peerless battle between Ronaldo and Messi, which is better or worse, Yang Hao of course did not hesitate to support his beloved apprentice.
He thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is a top superstar, but at Atletico Madrid, there are superstars such as Torres, Adriano and Kaka.
"They don't lose to Cristiano Ronaldo in the slightest, or even better than Cristiano Ronaldo."
"There is no doubt that Messi is the most special of all the superstars, and always has been!"
Yang Hao made no secret of his support and trust in Messi, and also gave Messi a very high evaluation.
'He can help us win all the games, if he can play at a normal level.'
Yang Hao believes that this is the biggest difference between Messi and other superstars.
Obviously, Yang Hao bet on Messi for the Champions League title match at Wembley Stadium a week later.
……
When the La Liga champion fell to Valencia, all the teams in La Liga and La Liga also decided the winner.
Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona eventually reached the Champions League.
The three relegated teams are Almeria, Hercules and Sporting Gijón.
This season's La Liga title and relegation are very competitive, and the list is basically decided in the final round.
The same is true in La B.
With the influence of the takeover by a Kuwaiti consortium, Malaga is doing very well in La Liga.
Nasser Alhalafi's team spent a lot of money on the purchase of Malaga, promising that if the team could make it to La Liga, each player would receive a handsome bonus.
This was a huge morale boost for the team.
Subsequently, Malaga went all the way to the second place in La Liga, behind Real Betis.
And the team in third place in La Liga, sorry, is Atletico Madrid II.
The Atletico Madrid second team, composed of Lewandowski, Koke, Isco, Pogba, Van Dijk and other players, performed very eye-catching in La Liga, and even reached the third place in La Liga, breaking into the promotion zone.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino also rose to fame, earning a lot of applause and cheers.
However, it is a pity that Atletico Madrid's second team does not have the possibility of promotion after all, so although they are in third place in La Liga, they have never been able to go further, so in the end, only Real Betis and Malaga have been promoted from La Liga.
The four teams from 4th to 7th will advance to the promotion play-offs to determine the last promotion spot.
Among them are teams such as Celta Vigo, Granada, Valladolid and Elche.
Although Granada loaned three big players from Udinese, the home of the Pozzo family, and they did perform very eye-catching, they only finished fifth in La Liga, even worse than Elche.
This can be seen that the competition in La B is really, really fierce now.
It is foreseeable that the next La Liga play-offs will be very competitive.
The four teams will go head-to-head in two rounds of showdowns, with the winner earning a place in La Liga.
Is this a quota thing?
No, it's about almost 100 million euros in revenue!
So much so that both the Spanish media, as well as foreign media and fans, are paying attention to it, believing that this is a game worth 100 million euros.
The media also revealed that the boss behind Granada, Pozzo Sr., regretted his operation during the winter break, because they could have done more, but he wanted to please both sides.
It is not only to ensure Udinese's competitiveness in Serie A, but also to help Granada break into La Liga.
In Serie A, after Udinese lost 3 generals, the results were still quite high, and there was no competitive pressure.
But what about in West B?
After getting the 3 generals, he didn't even make it to the top 2.
If they end up missing out on the league this season, the Pozzo family will regret it.
And Malaga, which got the promotion place in advance, caused a carnival in the whole city.
The owner behind the scenes, Nasser Al-Harafi, personally attended the celebration of Malaga's promotion to the first division, interacted with the fans at the scene, and made a big promise, saying that the team's rush to La Liga is just the beginning, and the next step will be to increase reinforcements.
"In the new season, you will see a brand new and different Malaga!"
The rhetoric from the world's top richest man still caused a great shock in Spanish football.
The British media expressed envy.
Why did such a mega-rich go to Spain instead of buying the Premier League?
In addition to Malaga and Granada, there is another team that has reached the promotion play-offs of La Liga this season: Valladolid.
The team is located about 150 kilometers north of Madrid and is in 7th place in La Liga this season.
Like Granada, Elche and Celta Vigo, who also stormed into the play-offs, Valladolid are aiming to challenge La Liga.
Because the team just changed hands in March.
In fact, as early as the year before last, an investment group from Indonesia had already taken advantage of the low price to acquire a small part of Valladolid's shares, become a shareholder, and participate in the operation of Valladolid.
For the past two years, the Indonesian-based investment group has been helping Valladolid find buyers from Asia.
Just late last year, they managed to find interest from the Thai royal power bloc for Valladolid.
The boss of the royal power group, Vichai, is a Thai Chinese, with total assets of up to 5 billion US dollars, and is a well-known and wealthy man in Thailand.
In the past few years, La Liga has been in Thailand, especially Atletico Madrid, and every time it goes to Thailand to play, it has caused the whole country to cheer and attracted the interest of Vichai.
Thanks to the lead of the Indonesian investment group, Vichai finally successfully acquired Valladolid in March this year.
The total amount is up to 100 million euros.
But unlike the billionaires like Alharafi from the Middle East, Vichai's management of Valladolid is more focused on the long-term and the benefits that the club can bring to the Thai royal power.
As for dominating La Liga, this is clearly not his ambition.
Therefore, compared with Alharafi's high profile, Vichai is obviously much more low-key, and even a little too low-key.
Yang Hao also got the news after the acquisition was completed, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but there was some surprise.
