"Brothers, the day before the training camp, let's get together, the old place."

As Ramos sent a message in the group formed by the Atletico players themselves, he immediately got a response from the players.

The day before the team's training camp, the players arrived in Madrid early.

Some of them reported to Mahada Honda first, while others hurriedly packed up their homes and rushed to a famous western restaurant in the western suburbs of Madrid, not far from La Finca.

It's a place where Atletico Madrid's players often get together.

As the initiator, Ramos took over the entire second floor of the restaurant early, which is the rule for Atletico players to have dinners.

Everyone arrived, greeting each other and telling interesting stories about their vacation.

Many people are talking about the Confederations Cup that has just ended, and the hot transfer market in La Liga this summer.

"Now, everybody out there is looking forward to the January 2014 auction, which is said to fetch a higher price."

"Broadcast fees? How high can it be? ”

"Yes, the domestic market should be almost saturated, but it is said that the overseas market is doing very well."

"It's not surprising that La Liga has done the best in globalization in recent years, and the Premier League is now in full decline."

"Last time, it was Ferguson or did he say that the Premier League is 20 million euros more expensive than La Liga for players of the same level, you say, where does this Premier League come from?"

"It's a pity, Paul's kid was led astray by his agent, and the boss is still very optimistic about him."

"I heard that the salary offered by the club to him is also very good, and our team is still very willing to pay for it."

"Who's to say it isn't? Isco and Koke now have an annual salary of 1.5 million euros. ”

"It's a bit competitive in our team, and sometimes I feel a little bit out of breath."

"That's because you're old."

"Haha, that's right, as long as I think of the group of imps behind me staring at my seat, it feels like being stared at by a tiger, it's terrifying!"

'Eh, didn't we say we were going to sign a Belgian youngster from Chelsea?'

"The one who broke the news from Marca?"

"Yes, it seems to be called ...... What's it called, Eden? ”

"Kevin, Kevin De Bruyne."

"Yes, it's him, why didn't you follow it?"

"I don't know."

"I know a little bit about this, I heard that it was Pep who vetoed it."

"Pep is really ...... right now"

There was a moment of silence.

Over the past two years, it has been clear to all that Guardiola's importance in the team has been rising.

Yang Hao endorsed Guardiola's platform on different occasions and established his authority.

Since two years ago, Pep Guardiola has overseen all the pre-season training plans, daily training, targeted training, and even player injuries, rehabilitation and physiotherapy for the first team.

Pep Guardiola has also recommended several of his friends to work in the Atletico first team's coaching staff and medical department.

Everyone knows very well that this is a sign that Guardiola is coming up to the top.

"Pep is a good man."

As captain of the team, Torres had a word for Pep Guardiola.

Everyone nodded.

Guardiola's personality is a bit stubborn, and sometimes even a little unkind, but on the whole, he is indeed a very good person, and after getting along for a long time, it is nothing to find out his temperament.

"But is the boss really going to step down?" Messi asked suddenly.

There was silence again.

"Leo, didn't you go and persuade the boss?" David Silva asked with concern.

Messi shook his head, "I ...... Didn't dare to ask. ”

Everyone in the team knows that Messi is Yang Hao's favorite player, and he also respects Yang Hao very, very much.

Messi didn't dare to ask, not because he didn't dare to ask the question, but because he was afraid of getting an answer.

"It's obvious!" Ramos shouted loudly.

His voice has always been relatively loud.

"Isn't it enough that the boss has even transferred the transfer authority to Pep now?"

In the past few years, Yang Hao has successively handed over the power in his hands.

As early as last season, Yang Hao actually did not participate in the team's training plan to a large extent.

Even in many games, he didn't even participate in targeted tactics and left it to Guardiola.

It's not because he's lazy, it's because he's delegating power.

In fact, after handing over to Guardiola, Yang Hao stood behind the scenes, doing things more tiring than doing it himself in front of the stage.

'In Brazil, after the Confederations Cup final, I talked to Ade, Marcelo, Danielle and Thiago, we all had a chat with the boss and he said......"

Kaka wanted to speak and stopped, and Adriano, Marcelo and others had already burst into laughter.

"What did the boss say?" Ramos and others hurriedly asked.

"He said that there are still so many beauties in the world, he hasn't soaked enough, and he doesn't have so much energy to put into football."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Break off!

This is very in line with Yang Hao's personality.

The whole world knows that he likes to soak in young girls around 20 years old.

It's outrageous to think about, and he can do it!

Of course, everyone present knew better that these girls were basically in a hurry to take the initiative to get into Yang Hao's arms.

Not to mention anything else, if he can really have a child with Yang Hao, he will inherit the marquis in the future.

"Fernando and I invited everyone out for dinner just to talk to everyone about it."

Ramos took the initiative to make things clear.

"I don't know, what do you think, for me, the boss is the person I respect the most in my life, if he wants to retire, then I will do my best to give him a decent exit!"

"What do you say?"

All the players present were players who had played for Atletico Madrid for many years, and they were all players trained and excavated by Yang Hao himself, and they all nodded one after another.

"The boss gave me everything, and I am willing to do everything for him!" Messi was the first to speak.

It's rare for Argentines to say something like this.

"That's right, if we can't let the boss leave with honor, then no matter how many championships we win, no matter how many honors we get, will we have a fart?" Kaka was also ruthless and burst into a foul mouth.

"I don't have anything to say, at any time, I am willing to fight for the boss!" David Silva promised.

"And me!"

"Count me in."

"Of course I am!"

"I didn't say it, in the new season, we want to make everyone, all teams, feel the most terrifying Atletico Madrid!"

"That's right, let's work together!"

"Fight for the Boss!"

"We're going to fight for all the championships!"

"Come on! Come on!! ”

All present were a group of young people in their twenties and thirties, all of whom were enthusiastic about their age.

Over the years, Yang Hao has put a lot of effort into each of them.

Now, they all hope to be able to perform within their abilities and give Yang Hao a precious gift.

Ramos and Torres looked at each other, both pleased with their team-mates' statements.

"Then in that case, we're done."

"Today, I said here that from now on, everyone in our team must cheer me up, and every game, every opponent, must give me all my best!"

"Whoever is passive and sluggish, who drags the team back, then don't blame us for being unkind!"

"Good!!"

……

Yang Hao and Pep Guardiola and others have found a very interesting thing.

After the start of the new season's training camp, the Atletico players showed great dedication one by one.

Even Hazard, who is usually the most hanging, has put his heart and soul into every training session and has performed exceptionally hard.

This surprised Yang Hao very much.

Although I was a little curious, it was a good thing after all.

Yang Hao can also feel their hearts from the words he communicates with the players on weekdays.

That's enough, and it's not in vain what he's put into this team and this group of players over the years.

The team's summer training camp was scheduled in Brazil, where the pre-season of La Liga was also played.

This is where La Liga and Atletico Madrid received an invitation from the World Cup Organizing Committee in Brazil.

In the summer of 2009, Atletico Madrid's pre-season training camp for the World Cup in South Africa was very good, and the pre-season of La Liga also warmed up the 2010 World Cup.

In the past few years, La Liga's influence in South America has become more and more significant, and the Brazil World Cup Organizing Committee also wants to use the influence of La Liga and Atletico Madrid to build momentum for next year's World Cup.

What's more, Atletico Madrid also has a lot of Brazilian internationals in the team.

Yang Hao led the team to start a training camp in Brazil, and then played 2 warm-up games, as well as 4 La Liga preseason games.

Although the team is undergoing a difficult season of physical reserve training, all six warm-up games have been won.

You must know that in the 4 La Liga preseason games, including those like Rayo Vallecano, Sevilla and Valladolid, the opponents are very good.

After playing six warm-up games in Brazil, Yang Hao led the team north to the United States to participate in two Spanish Super Cups in New York.

……

Metropolitan Stadium in New York, USA.

In the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid faced Real Madrid.

From the very beginning of the game, the Sheets showed aggressive momentum.

Whether it is David Silva on the left or Messi on the right, they are frequently creating crises with the ball.

This put a lot of pressure on both of Real Madrid's wings and ribs.

In the 11th minute, Messi dribbled the ball on the right side, forced a breakthrough through Maxwell, cut horizontally in the right corner of the penalty area, and passed diagonally over the top with his left foot, transferring the ball to the left side of the small penalty area.

David Silva cut in quickly and slammed the ball straight to the goal.

Suarez, who was in the middle, followed up and fired a shot into the Real Madrid goal.

1 to 0!

This goal completely ignited the passion of the game, and at the same time sounded the clarion call for Atletico Madrid's attack.

Subsequently, Atletico Madrid controlled the ball and rhythm through passing and control, and organized waves of attacks, threatening Real Madrid's big penalty area and even the goal.

Arsene Wenger's side played a BBC set-up with Karim Benzema in the middle, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale both trying to make dangerous counter-attacks.

With a passer like Andrea Pirlo behind him, they get the most out of their style of play.

In the 25th minute, it was Pirlo's pass, Gareth Bale rushed on the right, caught up with the pass, drove straight in, and crossed to the back point with his left foot, Ronaldo followed up and pushed the shot, successfully equalizing the score.

But in the 43rd minute of the first half, Alves crossed from the right and Kaka stepped in from behind to head it in.

2 to 1!

After the restart in the second half, just four minutes later, Gareth Bale forced Manuel Neuer to make a brilliant save with a long-range shot.

But in the 52nd minute, Messi broke through on the right and created a foul to win a free-kick in front of Atletico, and Ramos headed home to extend the score further.

3 to 1!

But just four minutes later, Busquets made a tactical foul when defending Yaya Toure and gave Real Madrid a free kick opportunity at the edge of the penalty area, and Ronaldo did it overnight, closing the gap for Real Madrid again.

2 to 3!

In the 66th minute, Kaka sent a direct pass, Alves lightly picked up on the right side of the penalty area, picked the ball to the right side of the front of the small penalty area, and the unguarded Messi jumped lightly, rubbed the ball with a header, and rubbed the ball into the goal guarded by Casillas.

4 to 2!

In the 84th minute, substitute Pastore broke through with the ball on the left side of the front field and passed diagonally to the right side of the penalty area, and Gareth Bale pushed a left-footed shot into the far corner for Real Madrid.

3 to 4!

The score was maintained until the end of the game.

……

The first leg of the Spanish Super Cup was played 4-3 and won a full house.

In the second round, at FedEx Field in Maryland, the two sides once again played a wonderful offensive battle.

Messi received an assist from Luka Modric in just seven minutes of the opening game, and after stopping the ball from the right rib and bursting into the penalty area, he scored with a single shot.

Subsequently, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both scored in succession.

Cristiano Ronaldo equalised, but Atletico scored in the 65th minute when Alves crossed to the back post.

2 to 1!

Then in the 88th minute, Lewandowski created a foul in the box to win a penalty for Atletico, and Messi relinquished the right to take the penalty.

Lewandowski scored in one fell swoop, 3 to 1!

In the end, the Bed Legion defeated Real Madrid 7-4 on aggregate to win the Spanish Super Cup.

……

Returning to Madrid with the Spanish Super Cup title, Atletico soon moved south to Sevilla.

This is the first round of the new La Liga season, and they face Mauricio Pochettino's Sevilla FC away.

In the opening 35 minutes, Messi opened the scoring for Real Madrid.

But just three minutes later, Perotti pulled a goal back for Sevilla.

But after the rematch in the second half, Messi and Suarez scored a goal each.

Atletico beat Sevilla 3-1 away to claim their first win of the new season.

……

In the second round of La Liga, the Sheets welcomed their first La Liga home, beating Rayo Vallecano 5-1 at home thanks to goals from Messi, Toni Kroos, Suarez, Hazard, Modric and Isco.

At this moment, not only Yang Hao realized it, but everyone also felt it.

Atletico's players showed an unprecedented level of fighting spirit.

Every player on the court is doing their best, even out of the way to fight the opponent.

……

After playing the second round of La Liga, due to the UEFA Super Cup, Atletico Madrid ushered in the third round of La Liga in midweek.

The first half was 0-0, but it was Torres who opened the scoring for Atletico at the start of the second half.

Messi, Pepe and Robert Lewandowski then scored a goal each.

Atletico beat Real Sociedad 4-0 away.

Atletico Madrid's start to the new season shocked the whole of Spain.

With 12 goals scored and two conceded in three rounds, this report card ensures Atletico are at the top of La Liga.

Everyone also felt the determination of the Atletico players!

……

After playing the third round of La Liga, Yang Hao and others took the lead in going to Monaco.

This year's Spanish Super Cup is not being held in Monaco.

UEFA President Bilal has taken a new approach by bringing the UEFA Super Cup to Prague in the Czech Republic.

But the draw and the award ceremony still have to be attended.

This time Atletico drew Porto, Zenit St. Petersburg and Vienna Austrians.

Overall, the signing is okay, and it is necessary to go to St. Petersburg to play at the end of November, which is very bad.

But Yang Hao is no stranger to this.

As long as you can beat your opponent in the first 4 rounds of the group stage, you don't have to think about the 5th round?

In the subsequent awards, Messi was elected European Footballer of the Year by an absolute margin.

The Argentine was very impressive in both La Liga and the Champions League last season, and deservedly won the award.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo is only ranked third.

Instead, Atletico Madrid's David Silva is in second place.

Yang Hao feels that this is somewhat influenced by the Confederations Cup.

The day after the draw, Atletico Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup again in Prague with Messi's brace and defeated Benitez's Getafe 2-0.

Rafael Benitez's Getafe won the Europa League last season.

At the beginning of the new season, Atletico Madrid won two titles, coupled with three consecutive wins in La Liga, the momentum is so fierce that all opponents are terrified.

……

Entering September, we ushered in two weeks of national team competition.

Yang Hao once again recruited young players including Isco, Koke, Carvajal and other young players into the team.

With the experience of the Confederations Cup, everyone takes it for granted.

But players such as Cazorla have also returned to the national team.

In the subsequent World Cup qualifiers, Spain beat Finland 3-0 away.

However, 4 days later, in the friendly match against Chile, Yang Hao played with a rotation and substitute lineup, and the result was a 2-2 draw.

Yang Hao tried a total of 2 different sets of playing styles in this game, and it was not surprising to get a draw.

And the reason why I play more games against South American teams is for the World Cup.

Even next, Yang Hao will organize friendly matches with African teams.

The reason is very simple, it is to ensure that next year's World Cup is foolproof.

……

Back in La Liga, ushered in the 4th round.

Atletico Madrid beat Almeria 4-1 at home thanks to Messi's brace, Alves and David Silva's goals, and won four consecutive La Liga wins.

Despite the long journey back to participate in the national team competition, Messi took the initiative to participate.

But Yang Hao only let Messi play in the first half.

……

Three days later, it was Messi's brace that helped Atletico beat Zenit St. Petersburg 4-0 at home and won the first game of the Champions League group stage.

The Argentine's performances since the start of the season can be described as incredible, with a flood of goals.

……

La Liga Round 5.

Messi once again ushered in the explosion, scoring a hat-trick to help Atletico Madrid beat Valladolid 4-2 away.

Real Madrid beat Getafe 4-1 at home.

Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 away.

Valencia beat Sevilla 3-1 at home.

Although Pochettino's team has improved greatly in strength and the lineup is also carefully selected by Yang Hao, the overall combat effectiveness is still not as good as these teams at the head of La Liga.

Espanyol narrowly beat Athletic Bilbao 3-2 at home.

……

3 days later, La Liga round 6.

Spain beat Osasuna 5-0 at home thanks to goals from David Silva, Lionel Messi, Thiago Silva, Pepe and substitute Adriano.

Torres really didn't have shooting boots in this game, he hit eight shots alone, three of which were very good, but he was a little unlucky and couldn't score.

Among them, there were 2 hits to the pillar, and there was really no one left.

……

On the evening of September 28, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

In the 7th round of La Liga, the Madrid derby, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Madrid away.

After the opening, the Sheets Army played a wave of fierce attacks, and in the 11th minute, after Di Maria broke the ball in front, Modric sent a through pass, Messi burst into the right side of the penalty area, and scored with a single knife.

1 to 0!

Then the two teams fought against each other.

First, Pepe's header hit the post from a scuffle from a corner, and then the unguarded Sergio Busquets fired just wide from distance.

Real Madrid is not far behind, attacking Atletico Madrid like crazy,

But no one expected that the two teams would attack back and forth, and the pace of the game would be so fast, and no one had any reservations, but they didn't score goals.

It wasn't until the 81st minute of the second half that Messi on the right side of Atletico Madrid played a cross with Alves, and after Casillas saved the ball, Koke stopped the ball near the penalty spot and blocked Vidic, and then pulled out his leg and shot angrily, penetrating Real Madrid's goal again.

2 to 0!

The Sheets have captured the Bernabeu again!

……

In midweek, the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Atletico Madrid conceded a goal away from home, but with a header from Ramos and a goal from substitute Messi, they reversed Porto 2-1 and won two consecutive group wins.

……

Round 8 of La Liga.

Atletico sat at home and beat Celta Vigo 3-0 with a hat-trick from Suarez to make it eight wins in a row.

Real Madrid narrowly beat Levante 3-2 away in this round.

Barcelona beat Valladolid 4-2 at home.

Getafe beat Real Betis 3-1 at home.

Valencia, on the other hand, drew 1-1 away at Athletic Bilbao.

Eight consecutive wins in the opening game allowed Atletico to continue to lead the La Liga standings without any suspense.

Moreover, from the momentum shown by Atletico Madrid, there is a great momentum to be unbeatable.

Atletico Madrid's vice-captain Sergio Ramos also said in a subsequent interview with Marca, "All of us have made up our minds to win all the titles this season and say goodbye to our boss with six crowns!" ”

"Because, we are invincible Atletico!"

……

Spain played with an all-bench squad for the two weeks of international matches in October.

Because the opponents are relatively weak, Yang Hao also took the opportunity to use them to inspect the team.

Moreover, Spain qualified early and there is no need to continue to stubbornly.

Therefore, Yang Hao even recruited many marginal internationals to join the team for inspection, but some core internationals such as David Silva, Iniesta, Torres and others were not on the call-up list.

But even so, Spain defeated Belarus and Georgia 2-0 in two games.

……

Round 9 of La Liga.

Atletico were stubbornly sniped by Espanyol away and eventually beat Espanyol 1-0 thanks to David Silva's goal to make it nine wins in a row.

But in the third round of the Champions League group stage, in the group stage against the Austrians in Vienna, Messi scored a hat-trick to help Atletico Madrid beat the opponent 4-0 away.

Atletico's strength is evident.

……

In the 10th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Betis 5-0 at home.

In the 11th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid, which is getting better, defeated Granada 3-0 away and won 11 consecutive La Liga wins.

In the 12th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home.

In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid defeated the Austrians in Vienna 6-0 at home.

The Sheets won four in a row to qualify from the top of the group.

In the 13th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Villarreal 2-1 away and continued to maintain the La Liga winning streak.

……

Spain travelled to Africa for both of their international team matches in November, against Cameroon and South Africa.

But this time Yang Hao played with the main lineup, so he defeated the opponent in both games.

They beat Cameroon 2-1 and South Africa 1-0.

……

Back in La Liga, the 14th round was ushered in.

Atletico beat Getafe 2-0 at home.

In the 5th round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid went to St. Petersburg with a substitute lineup and drew 1-1 with Zenit away.

And in the 15th round of La Liga at the weekend, Atletico Madrid thrashed Elche 8-0 on the road.

This game completely played Atletico Madrid's spirit, and at the same time, it also made Elche, a promoted horse, clearly see the difference in strength between himself and the strong team.

In the 16th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid once again ushered in the home game, defeating Valencia 4-1 at home with Messi's hat trick.

All four goals came in the second half.

In the final round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid defeated Porto 2-0 at home.

In the end, the Sheets Army successfully advanced from the top spot in the group stage with an unbeaten record of 6 games, 5 wins and 1 draw.

In the 17th round of La Liga, the Sheets Army slaughtered Levante 7-0 at home, completely defeating the team from Valencia.

It was revealed that a very important reason for the morale of Levante in this round of the game was that it was rumored before the game that the long-contact Saudi consortium decided to include Real Betis instead of Levante.

This made Levante, who was waiting for the big money owner hard, a big blow.

Atletico then played the first leg of the fourth knockout round of the Copa del Rey.

The Sheets played with an all-bench line-up and won 4-0 away from home.

After this game, the whole Atletico Madrid team set off and took a special plane from Madrid to Morocco in Africa.

In fact, the two countries are separated by the Strait of Gibraltar.

Arriving in Casablanca, Morocco, Atletico made a slight adjustment and faced the semi-finals of the Club World Cup against the Kings of Casablanca.

The Sheets came on as a substitute and comfortably knocked out their opponents at home 3-0.

Later, Atletico Madrid defeated Atletico Mineiro from Brazil 4-0 in the final of the Club World Cup.

Atletico Madrid have won the Club World Cup for the fourth year in a row!

When the team brought back the Club World Cup title from Morocco, the whole of Madrid cheered for Atletico.

La Liga streak, Champions League streak, Copa del Rey streak, plus Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup titles!

Atletico Madrid in the new season is like a bamboo, and there is an invincible momentum to carry out the winning streak to the end!

Yang Hao is also very satisfied with the current situation of the team.

He sensed the heart of his players and he firmly believes that as long as all the players maintain this momentum, the Sheets have the ability to remain competitive on every front.

And even win all the championships!

……

After returning to Madrid from Morocco, Atletico Madrid defeated their opponents 3-0 in the subsequent Copa del Rey replay to advance to the round of 16 with an aggregate score of 7-0.

After playing the play-off matches, the team ushered in the winter break.

Despite the tight schedule of the World Cup and the pressure from top to bottom of Atletico Madrid, the team still found time to travel to the Middle East.

Not only Atletico Madrid, but also Real Madrid, Valencia, Getafe, Barcelona and Real Betis have all gone to the Middle East.

The two sides first trained in the Middle East, then drew lots and selected opponents to play a warm-up match before returning to Spain.

Among them, Atletico Madrid drew Real Betis, and the match venue was arranged in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Yang Hao and the whole Atletico Madrid team were also received by the Saudi crown prince, it is said that he is the big money behind the purchase of a La Liga team, and he also asked Yang Hao a lot of things about the team in person.

In the face of such a big guy, Yang Hao of course knows everything.

……

Entering 2014, La Liga has rekindled the flames of war.

In the 19th round, Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 5-0 at home, completely knocking down Juan de Ramos's team.

The unstoppable Atletico Madrid won the half of La Liga with 19 consecutive wins!

Almost everyone in the world agrees that Atletico Madrid will win La Liga this season.

Yang Hao denied this.

'I'm very happy with the current state of the team, but I don't think we can hold on to the winning streak until the end of the season, no team can do that.

"We're going to draw or even lose, that's when it's going to be a test for us!"

However, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16, Atletico drew 1-1 away at Valencia.

Carlo Ancelotti's side defended hard and managed to secure a draw.

In the subsequent round of 20 La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-0 at home.

Three days later, the Sheets beat Valencia 2-0 at home and beat the Bats 3-1 on aggregate to advance to the last eight of the Copa del Rey.

It was after this match that the FIFA Awards Ceremony was held in Zurich.

Messi won the FIFA Ballon d'Or for the third time, with David Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo coming in second and third place respectively.

Yang Hao once again won the Best Men's Football Coach of the Year.

At the weekend, in the 21st round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Rayo Vallecano 4-1 away.

In the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, the Sheets scored two goals in a row after conceding one goal away from home, and reversed Athletic Bilbao 2-1.

Returning to the home field, ushered in the 22nd round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 4-0 at home.

Three days later, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, they defeated Athletic Bilbao 1-0 at home and advanced to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 3-1.

And this time, Atletico Madrid's semi-final opponent is Real Madrid.

……

When the Copa del Rey and La Liga hot battle are in full swing, the much-anticipated La Liga copyright auction is finally in full swing.

The world is eagerly awaiting to see if La Liga can continue its past glory?

This auction is for the broadcast rights of La Liga for the three seasons of 14/15, 15/16 and 16/17.

Investors in European football, in Spain, and around the world are paying close attention to this auction.

The first to be revealed was the auction of Spanish copyrights.

The local rights auction for the next three years sold only 3.044 billion euros.

Although it has increased by more than 100 million euros from 2.914 billion euros in the previous three years, the growth rate has slowed down significantly.

Antonio Ponte, chief executive of La Liga, said this is because the Spanish domestic market is close to saturation and needs to be further developed and tapped customers.

This means that for a long time to come, the Spanish domestic market will basically grow at a low rate.

Compared with the saturation of the local market, La Liga is expanding wildly around the world.

After the last auction, which sold a high price of 3.326 billion worldwide, La Liga once again discharged a staggering 5.005 billion euros this time, creating an unprecedented achievement.

You must know that the broadcast rights of 5.005 billion euros, after deducting some necessary expenses, the 20 La Liga teams can almost share more than 80 million euros of global broadcast rights income every year.

It's incredible!

That's more than 80 million euros!

If you add local copyrights, it means that even if La Liga is a team that is relegated at the bottom, it can get more than 100 million euros of guaranteed income every season, plus matchday income, it is not difficult to exceed 150 million euros.

This is outrageous.

Because this will mean that the income of the bottom teams in La Liga will be directly compared with teams such as Tottenham Hotspur in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League, and even more than several giants in Serie A.

Not to mention the Bundesliga, apart from Bayern, which team can compete with the bottom team in La Liga?

Everyone was very desperate about it.

German Kicker magazine even asserted that with the implementation of the new broadcast contract, La Liga's competitiveness will be further improved in the future, and the hopes of teams in other leagues trying to compete with La Liga are becoming more and more slim.

The reason is simple, La Liga has already grabbed the ecological niche at the very top of the pyramid.

In the future, La Liga can wave the checkbook in its hand and unscrupulously acquire the stars that other leagues have worked hard to cultivate, and through this kind of acquisition, it can strengthen itself and improve the enjoyment of La Liga.

With fierce competition and high spectacle, La Liga will be able to further conquer cities around the world, defend its advantages, and increase its broadcast fee income......

In this case, how can other leagues compete with La Liga?

This leaves the other leagues feeling helpless.

I really can't fight!

……

In the 23rd round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid finally showed fatigue and drew 1-1 with Almeria away.

It was Atletico's first La Liga draw this season.

Yang Hao said that he had been mentally prepared for this.

In midweek, Atletico drew 2-2 with Real Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey away at the Bernabeu.

This made a lot of people start to get excited, and they all felt that Atletico Madrid was finally showing fatigue.

But in the 24th round of La Liga at the weekend, Atletico Madrid slaughtered Valladolid 6-0, once again making everyone feel the strength of the Sheets Army.

In the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Atletico Madrid defeated Arsene Wenger's side 3-0 at home and advanced to the final with an aggregate score of 5-2.

The other team to reach the final is Juande Ramos' Barcelona.

It's also interesting.

Although Juan de Ramos' Barcelona have always been ranked fourth in the league, effectively emulating the great achievements of Arsene Wenger and Arsenal's four madmen, they have always had good results in the cup.

This time to enter the final of the Copa del Rey, Barcelona is also determined to win.

In the 25th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Osasuna 4-0 away and continued to lead the standings.

……
