390 Reach the top of La Liga and advance to the final! Our goal is to win three times in a row! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
What should a full-fledged politician look like?
Platini is a very real portrayal.
has been touting Atletico Madrid and La Liga verbally, but he is ruthless.
After playing in the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League, all four La Liga teams have advanced to the last eight.
Then, the 4 teams of La Liga were once again "coincidentally" drawn together to catch each other.
Last season it was Atletico Madrid against Valencia, and Barcelona played Real Madrid.
This season is Atletico Madrid against Barcelona and Valencia against Real Madrid.
Moreover, 4 teams were drawn in one and a half by coincidence.
In other words, only one La Liga team will reach the final at most!
With the strength of La Liga, the whale swallows the best talent in European football, and more and more stars converge on La Liga, which naturally leads to a decline in the competitiveness of other teams.
As a result, teams such as AC Milan and Inter Milan were eliminated in the round of 16.
The other four teams in the quarter-finals have a very interesting matchup.
Bayern drew Marseille in Ligue 1.
Manchester United drew the Greek Athletic in Cyprus.
This is a guarantee, okay?
When the results of the draw came out, the whole world was really in an uproar.
The match between the upper and lower halves is just outrageous.
Bayern Munich and Manchester United have both drawn the underdogs, while the four La Liga teams have staged a strong dialogue.
To say that there is no problem behind this, does anyone believe it?
Moreover, La Liga has drawn such a draw for two consecutive seasons?
Is luck really so bad?
After the draw results came out, Atletico Madrid's representative at the draw ceremony, Clement Balavide, opened a big spot and ridiculed UEFA's draw for being a bad team, just wanting to get rid of La Liga's team.
"But it's too obvious, it's not decent at all!"
The four teams in La Liga seem to know such a result, and none of the teams arranged for the big guy to watch the draw.
This is undoubtedly also a silent counterattack to UEFA.
Yang Hao said with a smile at the press conference in the 28th round of La Liga, before Atletico Madrid's away game against Real Mallorca, that he was quite satisfied with the results of the draw.
"Actually, I'm still very grateful to Infantino because he helped us pull out of Barcelona!"
"The whole world knows that our Atletico Madrid record against Barcelona in the past ten years is overwhelming."
Yang Hao's yin and yang weird remarks made everyone have no doubt that he was extremely dissatisfied with Gianni Infantino.
As for the prediction of the Champions League prospects, Yang Hao said with confidence that he was full of confidence.
'I know a lot of people want to see us lose and want us to lose.
"But I want to say that we don't weigh their hearts."
'We will do our best to challenge for the Champions League and I am confident that we will lead the team to win the Champions League!'
Triple crown?
"Why not?"
"It's not impossible for us!"
……
At the weekend, the 28th round of La Liga.
Atletico Madrid reversed Real Mallorca 2-1 thanks to goals from Messi and Kaka, and won three precious points on the road.
Valencia, on the other hand, beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away from home thanks to Robin van Persie's hat-trick.
Robin van Persie has been in excellent form this season and has become Valencia's top scorer.
But it's a pity that he ran into Messi and Ronaldo, who scored crazy goals.
So far, Messi has scored 45 goals in 28 La Liga games, setting a career and the craziest goal record in the history of Europe's top five leagues.
Anyone can see that since the beginning of this season, Messi has completely ushered in the golden period of his career.
Atletico Madrid put pressure on Real Madrid on matchday two after a hard-fought win away at Real Mallorca on matchday.
Since Real Madrid defeated Valencia and Atletico Madrid to take the lead, the team has been on a breaking ground.
But Atletico are always in hot pursuit.
Judging from the performance this season, whether it is the number of goals scored or the number of goals conceded, Atletico Madrid is better than Real Madrid.
Moreover, the Sheets are unbeaten in 28 games this season, the only unbeaten team in European football so far.
Messi even beat Ronaldo in the scorer list.
The wrestling and competition in all aspects have brought huge pressure to Real Madrid.
In the home game against Malaga, Manuel Pellegrini adopted a forbearance tactic.
Throughout the game, Real Madrid, who were playing at home, suppressed Malaga, and the Galaxy Battleship almost dominated the game and frequently created chances.
But it wasn't until the 35th minute that Real Madrid assisted Benzema to score a goal by Ronaldo.
But the French striker squandered at least three must-score chances in the first half.
Cristiano Ronaldo failed to find the back of the net on two occasions.
Goalkeeper Diego López used to play for Real Madrid and was Casillas' replacement, but in this game, Diego López showed a world-class goalkeeper at the Bernabeu Stadium and overshadowed Casillas on the opposite side.
Especially in the 71st minute, he saved Benzema's one-on-one goal again.
In the 75th minute, he blocked Cristiano Ronaldo's direct free kick.
Two brilliant saves even earned him a round of applause from the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are paying the price for their successive wasted chances.
Malaga has shown to be very resilient.
Especially Aguero on the forward line, he is constantly looking for opportunities.
It wasn't until the 92nd minute, in the last minute of stoppage time, that it was a dribbling break after Aguero retreated to receive the ball, creating a foul on Chiellini on the edge of the box and giving Malaga a great chance.
Cazorla took a direct free-kick past Casillas.
1 to 1!
Flat!
When Real Madrid finally couldn't stand it anymore and was forced to draw by Malaga at the last minute, spit out the three points that were swallowed and turned into one point, Atletico Madrid narrowly defeated Real Mallorca and reversed Real Madrid by one point and topped the La Liga standings.
This is the first time in 2012 that Atletico Madrid has reached the top of the La Liga standings!
Yang Hao watched the live broadcast of the game, and he was so happy that he accepted an interview from the Marca newspaper the next day.
In this interview, Yang Hao shouted very confidently, "We will maintain our advantage over Real Madrid in the remaining 10 rounds!" ”
But Yang Hao also sensibly reminded everyone that it is one thing to have confidence, but the game still has to be played one game at a time.
"We won't let the fans down!"
……
In midweek, the 29th round of La Liga.
Atletico beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 thanks to Messi's two second-half goals.
Javi Martinez scored a goal for Bielsa's side in the second minute of stoppage time.
After the game, Yang Hao also had a special conversation with Javi Martinez, and he personally told the Basque player that he would be recruited into the national team.
This season, under Bielsa's transformation, Xavi Martinez has mainly played as a central defender and has performed very well.
What everyone didn't expect was that Real Madrid, which had won consecutive games before, seemed to have suffered an impact on morale after being counterattacked by Atletico Madrid, and in the subsequent away game against Villarreal, Ronaldo scored a goal first.
But Villarreal's Biglia equalised for the Yellow Submarine in the 83rd minute with a shot back on goal.
Arsene Wenger's side drew again.
1 to 1!
In this way, Atletico's lead has been extended to 3 points!
This was definitely a surprise to everyone.
Arsene Wenger's side suffered another blow after ceding the lead.
However, Arsene Wenger said in an interview with the media after the game that the race for the league title is not over yet.
"I believe we still have a chance!"
……
At the weekend, the 30th round of La Liga.
Real Madrid, who played a day earlier than Atletico Madrid, beat Real Sociedad 5-1 at home thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick.
With a wonderful victory, the Galaxy Battleship announced that it had once again launched an attack on the La Liga champion.
Atletico Madrid played a day later than Real Madrid, away to Zaragoza.
The home team was determined to be relegated and showed great tenacity.
You know, staying in La Liga, worth more than 100 million euros, all relegation teams will go crazy about it!
Zaragoza set up a bucket-like formation, and everyone gave it their all.
Atletico Madrid is fighting continuously, the state is not particularly ideal, and the battle is hard.
Until the 95th minute, Messi used a direct free kick to penetrate Zaragoza's goal and cut a valuable three points for Atletico Madrid!
Once again, the Argentine showed his worth at a crucial moment.
Incidentally, Sevilla beat Granada by three goals away in this round.
It was the second consecutive three-goal win for Mauricio Pochettino's side.
Sevilla FC have had ups and downs in the first half of the season and have not been particularly consistent, but after entering the winter break, they are clearly getting better, and now they are in 6th place in La Liga, with a remarkable overall performance.
What's more, Pochettino's coaching style this season has been refreshing.
The manager, who studied under Bielsa and Yang Hao, interprets Pochettino's own football philosophy and style in Sevilla.
Immersed in La Liga for many years, especially at Atletico Madrid, Pochettino's overall concept is similar to Yang Hao's previous life, but more emphasis is placed on technique and passing and cutting coordination, and the attack is also played more smoothly and more detailed.
……
Three days later, in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Atletico Madrid visited Camp Nou to challenge Barcelona.
It was clearly not a night for Atletico.
In the opening 12 minutes, Pepe went off injured and Yang Hao had to use Thiago Silva to go up.
But in the 26th minute, Ramos was also injured in a scramble with Tevez.
Yang Hao was about to cry when he watched it on the sidelines.
Injured two central defenders in one night, who is going to reason with this?
There were no centre-backs on the bench.
So, Yang Hao used Busquets to go up and partner Thiago Silva in central defense.
In the 35th minute, during a corner kick defense, he was hit by Bruno Alves' header, 1-0!
Atletico are really a bit of a mess.
In the 37th, 39th and 42nd minutes, he received three yellow cards in a row, namely Sergio Busquets, Thiago Silva and Luka Modric.
Although they are all cards in the middle and back, they are more to plug the leaks in front of them.
The players were in a hurry.
And in the 43rd minute, a free kick caused by Modric's foul card gave Barcelona another chance to attack, Xavi knocked on Neuer's goal again with a shot from the edge of the penalty area.
2 to 0!
I have to say that Atletico Madrid's luck is too bad!
Fortunately, at halftime, Yang Hao got a report from Parales, Ramos and Pepe both have muscle strain, not a very serious injury, and are expected to rest for two to three weeks.
March and April are already the high risk of injuries, and injuries like this are inevitable.
It's just that Atletico Madrid is too lucky, and they hurt two in one game, and they are both central defenders.
Yang Hao now has 1 substitution place left, and he doesn't dare to move at all.
Yes, in case there is an injury in the first half, then there will be one less person to play.
Therefore, the strategy given by Yang Hao is......
"We're going to attack in the second half!"
'In the first 10 minutes, you have to steal a goal for me no matter what, and only then will we have a chance!'
After Yang Hao finished speaking, he applauded vigorously.
"I don't just want La Liga, I want the Champions League!"
"Give me this fight, I must go to Munich!"
Yang Hao's impassioned remarks, coupled with the death order he issued, completely ignited Atletico Madrid.
After the start of the second half, the Atletico players showed unprecedented enthusiasm.
The opening wave of mad dog-like pressing encirclement, which made Barcelona a little powerless to parry and was forced to retreat, exposed a fatal flaw in the 51st minute.
Kaka sent a wonderful pass, Messi cut inside in the right corner of the penalty area, shook off Coentrão, and curled a ball with his left foot, blasting a world wave, straight to the left side of the goal.
Buffon was helpless in the face of such a kick in the world.
1 to 2!
Atletico then continued their onslaught.
Barcelona defended steadily, making it difficult for Atletico to score again.
After attacking for 10 minutes, Yang Hao decisively changed his tactical strategy.
Busquets dragged at the back, coupled with Thiago Silva, and Yang Hao signaled the team to adopt a pass-and-possession style of play.
Both centre-backs are very good at passing the ball, which ensures that Atletico's backline has a strong ability to play the ball.
Through passing and controlling the ball, he controlled the rhythm, slipped through Barcelona, and patiently looked for opportunities.
What's more, save the physical consumption of your own players.
After all, Yang Hao was forced to use up two substitutions in less than half an hour in the first half.
Juan de Ramos, on the other hand, made a series of substitutions in an attempt to turn the tide.
But Atletico always adhered to Yang Hao's tactics.
This made the Barcelona fans in the stands look very uncomfortable, and even booed in bursts.
Passing and controlling the ball, this was originally Barcelona's style of play and label, but now, what they see is that Barcelona is cowering in their own half, while their most hated rival Atletico Madrid adopts the pass-and-possession style and is slipping away from Barcelona.
How can this make them embarrassed?
Juande Ramos used up three substitutions early in the 74th minute to try to change the situation on the pitch.
But Yang Hao is different, he hasn't moved.
After 80 minutes, he still didn't move.
Both sides are very motivated and hardworking, both looking for opportunities.
It wasn't until the 84th minute that Yang Hao used up the last substitution.
Suarez replaces Adriano.
When the Uruguayan striker came on the field, Yang Hao wrapped his arms around his neck and told him, "After you go up, there is only one task." ”
"That's the goal!"
"Give me the ball and put it in Buffon's goal!"
After Suarez came on the pitch, Atletico once again launched a frantic counterattack.
The physical energy and energy stored in the front area completely exploded at this moment.
Atletico Madrid is once again pressing Barcelona to play.
Juan de Ramos has not yet led a team to a super team like Atletico Madrid in a knockout game of this calibre of the Champions League, which makes him inexperienced and underestimates the intensity of the game.
Especially a team like Atletico Madrid, which exploded in the last minute.
It really crushed Barcelona completely in the half.
The game is in full swing.
Every minute was tense, and everyone's hearts were hanging.
And in the second minute of stoppage time, Marcelo on the left side cut in and received a pass from David Silva and sent a through ball into the ribs to the left side of the box.
Like a ghost, Suarez suddenly appeared behind Bruno Alves, stopped the ball and fired a low left-footed shot past Barcelona's goal to equalize the score!
2 to 2!
The whole Camp Nou booed!
Nearly 100,000 fans are frantically scolding Atletico.
How many years have it been!
Barcelona have never been able to win against Atletico Madrid, and have not been able to overwhelm this team in terms of results.
Especially like tonight, when they were leading by 2 goals, they were even equalized by the opponent and let them retreat, how can Barcelona fans accept it?
Two away goals, which makes the next round of matches at the Emirates Stadium in Madrid even tougher.
……
At the weekend, La Liga ushered in the 31st round of matches.
Real Madrid beat Osasuna 5-1 away on the first matchday, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain both scoring braces.
Atletico Madrid defeated Getafe 3-1 at home on the second matchday with Messi's pass and shot.
Mauricio Pochettino's Sevilla won by three goals again in this round, beating Real Mallorca at home.
Won by 3 goals in 3 consecutive rounds, Pochettino became famous!
……
3 days later, the Emirates Stadium in Madrid.
In the second leg of the Champions League top 8 knockout round, Atletico Madrid hosted Barcelona.
Juan de Ramos' side were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Atletico Madrid, but when it came to the road, they played a more defensive role.
And Atletico's opening was no longer presumptuous.
Yang Hao and Guardiola originally thought that Juande Ramos would adopt a more active tactical style at the beginning, but they didn't expect him to choose to be conservative.
Both sides played cautiously in the first half.
Barcelona dominated the counter-attack and did not leave Atletico too many chances.
But just before the end of the first half, Atletico suddenly launched a wave of onslaught.
Adriano received Messi's clever pass in the second minute of first-half stoppage time, squeezed away Puyol with his body in the penalty area, and fired a powerful right-footed volley past Buffon's goal.
1 to 0!
After the rematch in the second half, Barcelona had no choice but to take the initiative to try to equalize.
With the current score between the two sides, Barcelona need to score at least two goals, leaving little time for Juande Ramos.
Under this situation and pressure, Atletico Madrid's pass-and-possession style of play just restrained Barcelona.
While in a hurry, while steady as Mount Tai.
In this situation, the results can be imagined.
Atletico Madrid counterattacked quickly in the 66th minute, Messi received Kaka's through ball, stopped the ball in the penalty area and buckled the veteran Puyol, and then pushed the goal with his left foot, 2-0!
The goal also completely ruined Barcelona's hopes.
Although Juander Ramos made successive substitutions in an attempt to turn the tide, he was ultimately unable to do so.
Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-0 at home with Messi's pass and shot, and the aggregate score was 4-2, knocking Barcelona out of the competition.
In the other matchup, Real Madrid drew 1-1 at home to Valencia and then played another 1-1 away game to send the two sides into extra time.
In the end, it was Robin van Persie who scored the winning goal for Valencia in the 118th minute with a brilliant leap.
3-2, Valencia successfully advanced to the semi-finals and met Atletico Madrid.
In the other half, Manchester United and Bayern Munich met in the semi-finals.
With this season's Champions League final taking place at Bayern's Emirates Stadium, the Bundesliga squad are aiming for the title.
……
At the weekend, the 32nd round of La Liga.
This is destined to be the most spectacular round of the season.
In the first game, the local tyrant Getafe beat Deportivo La Coruna 4-2 at home.
Rayo Vallecano then thrashed Osasuna 6-0 at home.
Espanyol beat Real Sociedad 4-2 that night.
Barcelona, on the other hand, beat Zaragoza 4-1 away.
In the first matchday, 23 goals were scored in four games.
It's like crazy.
While the whole world was talking about La Liga's crazy attack, in the first matchup of the second matchday, Atletico Madrid beat Levante 5-0 away from home with a hat-trick from Torres.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, defeated Valencia 4-3 at home to avenge their elimination from the Champions League.
Even Malaga beat Racing Santander 3-0 at home.
Sevilla is the only one.
Mauricio Pochettino's side have been on a solid run in the last few rounds, but this time they faced teacher Bielsa, who were unable to continue their previous frenzied goals and lost 1-0 away to Athletic Bilbao.
The only goal of the game was scored by Llorente.
……
After playing the 32nd round, La Liga once again ushered in a week of double matches.
Yang Hao was so busy that his head and feet hung upside down, and he and the coaching staff were carefully preparing for the next Madrid derby every day.
3 days later, the 33rd round of La Liga.
Barcelona beat Getafe 2-0 at home.
Valencia beat Rayo Vallecano 4-1 at home.
Sevilla beat Zaragoza 3-0 at home again.
In this round, Atletico Madrid hosted Real Madrid.
Although Ramos and Pepe have both returned to training, Yang Hao still did not dare to be careless, and did not arrange for them to start in this Madrid derby, but let Van Dijk, who has performed well in recent games, partner Thiago Silva.
During the injury sidelines of two centre-backs, Virgil van Dijk played well with Thiago Silva's partner.
But it was the Dutch centre-back's first Madrid derby.
In the 24th minute of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Atletico Madrid's goal and opened the scoring for Real Madrid.
But in the 35th minute, Atletico Madrid equalized by Messi, 1-1!
After the rematch in the second half, Atletico launched an onslaught, and in the 55th minute, it was Torres who scored the second goal to turn the score around.
But in the 67th minute, Ronaldo's goal equalized the score again, 2-2!
In the 74th minute, Kaka's header after bursting into the penalty area exceeded the score again, 3-2!
But in the 78th minute, Navas, who came on as a substitute, equalized for Real Madrid, 3-3!
In the 82nd minute, Atletico Madrid was also substituted by Di Maria, who exceeded the score again, 4-3!
But just when everyone thought that Atletico should win the game, in the first minute of stoppage time, Pastore broke through with the ball and sent the ball into the box, and Van Dijk was defending Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Portuguese fell to the ground.
The referee imposed a capital punishment, a red card and a penalty!
Yang Hao protested, believing that the decision was biased and that Van Dijk had not committed a foul.
But the referee insisted on his judgment and found that Van Dijk had obvious action at hand.
In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick from the penalty spot to help Real Madrid draw 4-4 with Atletico Madrid.
This season's Madrid derby has shown a frenzied attacking momentum.
This certainly made the game very exciting, and fans around the world were fascinated by it, believing that the two teams frequently staged offensive battles for the benefit of fans around the world.
But the first duel between the two sides was 4-3, and this time it was 4-4.
The two Madrid derbies and a total of 15 goals were played, which is insane.
In this round of matches, Real Madrid failed to beat Atletico Madrid away, and the two sides shook hands, and Atletico Madrid actually won.
Because after this round of games, Atletico still leads La Liga by 3 points.
……
At the weekend, the 34th round of La Liga.
Real Madrid sat at the Bernabeu and conceded a goal to win 3-1 at home to Deportivo La Coruna.
Incidentally, Didier Deschamps' side have not been doing well this season and he himself has decided to leave Deportivo La Coruna at the end of this season.
In the past few years in charge of Super Laco, Deschamps can be said to have witnessed a brief resurgence of Deportivo La Coruna.
Although it failed to reach the style of Super Laco sweeping the Europa League during Irueta's coaching at the beginning of the century, the overall performance was also remarkable, winning the recognition of European football.
According to French media reports, Deportivo wanted to keep Deschamps, but the French were determined.
It has been revealed that his next stop will be the French national team.
It also gives Deschamps a good reason to leave Deportivo La Coruna.
Barcelona beat Levante 2-1 away.
Valencia, who are about to meet Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League, lost an unexpected 0-2 away to Espanyol in this round.
As can be seen from the starting lineup of this game, the consecutive weekly double matches have had an impact on Ancelotti's line-up, so the Italians rotated this game.
As a result, the Bat Legion unexpectedly lost to the Spaniards.
But that didn't make the slightest difference for Valencia, who were third in La Liga after losing this game.
After the rotation, the starting line-up can be in better shape to face Atletico at home.
The Sheets also rotated this round, but still beat Rayo Vallecano 2-0 away thanks to a brace from Fernando Torres.
What makes Yang Hao happiest in this game is the return of Ramos and Pepe from injury.
After returning from injury, the two teamed up to keep a clean sheet against Rayo Vallecano.
Falcao didn't contribute the whole game.
Getafe, on the other hand, beat Sevilla 5-2 at home, with Mauricio Pochettino's side suffering a heavy defeat.
In the final analysis, it is still strength that speaks.
……
On the evening of April 17, the Etihad Stadium in Valencia.
In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Atletico Madrid challenged Valencia away.
Carlo Ancelotti had a very interesting tactical approach to this game.
Prior to this game, Sneijder's injury in the league had led to speculation that it would not be easy for Valencia to win at home to Atletico Madrid, but Carlo Ancelotti made a decisive change.
A 442 formation was taken.
Needless to say, the forward line is a two-striker combination of Villa and Robin van Persie.
The midfielders from left to right are: Juan Mata, De Rossi, Aquilani and Nani.
Sneijder's injury, for Valencia, seems to have a big impact on the strength, but with Ancelotti's line-up, it is not a bad thing.
He deployed four central midfielders almost in a line-up to compress the space in midfield.
Especially for Messi.
When the Argentine player gets the ball on the right flank, Juan Mata is the first to follow.
Once Messi cuts inside, to the ribs or in the middle, there will be players who will cooperate with Juan Mata in time to pack the bag.
Ancelotti's intention is very obvious, which is to imprison Messi, prevent Messi from breaking forward, or passing the ball to his teammates.
At the back, Kolarov, who is more defensively available, is used on the left side.
Incidentally, Antonio López's form has dropped significantly this season.
Speaking of which, the Spanish international is 30 years old, having reached the peak of his career at Atletico Madrid and Valencia, and has excelled in the national team.
With his success and injuries, his form has also declined irreversibly.
The main position this season has been threatened by Kolarov and Alba.
Compared with Alba, who has more attacking power, Ancelotti arranged Kolarov to start this game.
Not only on the left, but on the right, he also abandoned the more attacking Raphinha in favor of Miguel, who defended better, and in the middle was the veteran Lucio partnering Raul Albiol.
It can be seen from the arrangement of the squad that Ancelotti's intention in this game is still based on defense.
This is because Valencia's defense has been really poor this season.
If they still press out to fight against Atletico Madrid, the Bat Army is afraid that they will lose to the bottom.
Ancelotti's pragmatic tactical style of play has indeed brought Atletico a lot of trouble.
Yang Hao's team has been attacking from the beginning and has been creating chances.
That included David Silva delivering a through ball on the left flank in the sixth minute, Suarez slid forward quickly, fell to the ground and fired a shot that bounced off the left-hand post.
The attack was a great missed opportunity.
Valencia continues to defend strongly.
Carlo Ancelotti proved to everyone that when an Italian manager adopts counter-attacking tactics, no team, even if it is as strong as Atletico, should not easily knock on Valencia's goal.
Especially when the goalkeeper of the Bat Legion is still Cech.
In the 24th minute, Valencia played a quick counter-attack.
Nani cut straight behind Marcelo and after receiving Aquilani's pass, he successfully countered offside, burst into the right side of the penalty area, and passed the low ball into the box.
Van Persie stepped in before Thiago Silva to offload the ball and pick it up to the back post.
Villa's close-range header was saved by Neuer and saved with one hand.
It was also the two most threatening attacks of the entire first half.
Atletico Madrid and Valencia once each.
Despite the complete dominance of the Sheets, they were never able to create chances.
The two sides went back and forth, and despite constantly creating chances, they were never able to find the back of the net.
In the second half, especially after 70 minutes, both teams began to make substitutions.
Carlo Ancelotti was the first to make substitutions, first replacing Villa with Anderson, returning to 4231 and continuing to strengthen the attack, and then successively replacing Alba and Lucas Rewa.
Among them, Lucas Rewa replaced Aquilani with the aim of strengthening the interception and coverage of the midfielder's double midfielder.
When Carlo Ancelotti used up three substitutions early, Valencia got a chance in the 80th minute that wasn't a chance.
The combination of Juan Mata on the left and Jordi Alba created a foul on Alves in defence and earned Valencia a free-kick on the left side of the pitch.
Lucio was in the middle of a scuffle in the penalty area, heading a header that bounced off the crossbar and back.
At the crucial moment, Van Persie stepped out to send the ball into Neuer's goal.
Despite slow-motion shows Van Persie in an offside position, the referee still awarded the goal a valid one.
This was a proper miscalculation!
A minute after conceding the goal, Yang Hao made a substitution adjustment.
He replaced David Silva with Eden Hazard and Kaka with Isco.
Two substitutions in one breath showed Yang Hao's determination.
What's more, after the substitution, Atletico almost caught Valencia on the right side.
Miguel received a yellow card in the second half, and the veteran Lucio was on this side, so Yang Hao obviously wanted to strengthen the attack on Valencia's right side.
Both Lucio and Albiol are slow to turn, and Yang Hao has to take advantage of this.
This is actually his killer feature in this game, and he originally planned to save it for the final stage.
Yang Hao's substitution had an immediate effect.
Especially Hazard on the left side, he was very active, dribbling the ball continuously, putting great pressure on Miguel, who was already with a yellow card, but Ancelotti had used up 3 substitutions and could only struggle.
Andres Iniesta and Isco also leaned to the left and in the middle.
Plus Marcelo plugged in the back.
Atletico often formed an attacking combination of Marcelo, Eden Hazard, Andres Iniesta and Isco on the left.
Suarez also frequently moved closer to this side, not to mention Messi, Yang Hao gave him absolute freedom.
The last 10 minutes of the game were completely transformed into a siege battle between Atletico Madrid and Valencia.
The Bat Legion defended tightly, while Atletico Madrid kept attacking and players were constantly dribbling and breaking through.
Among them, Isco tripped Albiol and fell to the ground after bursting into the penalty area with the ball in the 86th minute.
It's a pity that the referee didn't blow the whistle.
Atletico players protested, believing it should have been a penalty.
The clock is ticking, but Atletico's attack continues.
Falling behind 1-0 made the whole Sheets very convinced that there was still a chance in the game.
Especially as the game deepens, the physical exertion of Valencia players will increase.
By the 94th minute, the last attack of the game.
Atletico pressed on the left and launched a fierce attack.
However, he failed to create a chance and was forced to pass back to Xavi Alonso, who was in the 30-metre area.
At the crucial moment, Xavi Alonso sent a through ball that tore through Valencia's defence and gave it to Albiol's back area.
Messi cut in quickly, didn't even stop Xavi Alonso's pass, and after catching up with the ball, he directly pulled out his leg and fired a volley with his right foot.
The ball drilled into Valencia's goal at great speed, 1 to 1!
Flat!
"At the critical moment, Messi broke Valencia's goal with a crisp volley in the 4th minute of stoppage time!"
"1 to 1!"
"Atletico have scored a valuable away goal!"
The game ended the moment Messi scored.
The Argentine rushed off the pitch in excitement and rushed all the way to the sidelines to celebrate.
1 to 1, Atletico Madrid returns to the home stadium and has a play!
……
Valencia was beaten in midweek and the 35th round of La Liga was ushered in at the weekend.
The highlight of this round was Real Madrid's visit to Camp Nou, where they defeated Barcelona 2-1 thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Andrea Pirlo.
Atletico beat Espanyol 3-1 at home thanks to a brace from Angel Di Maria.
Valencia beat Real Betis 4-0 at home.
Both teams in the Champions League semi-finals won at home in the league.
This also makes the suspense of the La Liga championship continue to push back.
……
Three days later, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Atletico are at home to Valencia.
If the first leg of the match between the two sides was a tough battle between Atletico Madrid and Valencia, then in the second leg, at the Emirates Stadium, Ancelotti came up with a very surprising tactic, and there was a momentum of "willing to cut and dare to pull Atletico Madrid off the horse".
In the opening stage, Valencia's momentum of daring to play against Atletico Madrid away from home did create a very big problem for Atletico Madrid.
Especially in the opening stages, Ancelotti's deployment disrupted Atletico's rhythm.
Yang Hao made adjustments for the first leg of the game between the two sides, Messi was more of a passer for the team, using his running and tandem to connect the team's attack, rather than the main attacker in the past.
The advantage of this is that the cage that Valencia has laid out for Messi has become completely useless.
And when Atletico gradually stabilized their position and Messi began to exert his strength, Ancelotti's team suffered a blow to the head.
In the 36th minute, it was Messi who retreated to receive the ball in the middle, rushed forward with the ball, and sent a through pass to Suarez's feet.
The Uruguayan stopped the ball with his body in the box after blocking Albiol in the box, turned and turned back to Kaka, who was inserted in the back row.
The Brazilian fired a furious shot past Valencia.
In the first half, Atletico went into the break with a one-goal lead.
After the rematch in the second half, Yang Hao seized Valencia's weakness, took the initiative to withdraw, and used the advantage of passing the ball to control the ball and rhythm, forcing Valencia to take the initiative.
As a result, in the 79th minute, Valencia made a mistake in receiving the ball near the halfway line and was counter-attacked by Atletico Madrid.
It was Suarez again who won the ball in front of the field and passed to Eden Hazard on the left.
The Belgian burst into the left side of the box with the ball and got up to hit the goalkeeper, but goalkeeper Petr Cech flew to save it.
The ball landed on the unguarded right side.
Messi sprinted all the way and unguarded, slotted the ball that Cech saved into Valencia's goal.
2 to 0!
After the goal, the Argentine opened his arms excitedly and rushed out of the pitch to the cheers of the Emirates Stadium and celebrated wildly.
In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Valencia 2-0 with goals from Messi and Kaka, and advanced to the Champions League final with an aggregate score of 3-1.
