Atletico's next match against Real Betis.

The strength of this team can only be around the relegation zone now.

So for Atletico, it won't be too difficult to beat them.

And so it is.

In the thirteenth round of the league on Saturday.

Although Real Betis shrank their defense across the board throughout the game and tried to hold on to a draw.

But in the end, he was defeated by Atletico Madrid's sharp attack.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Real Betis 3-0 at home.

The goals for Atletico were scored by Lin Ran, Fernando Torres and Maniche.

In addition, Lin Ran also scored an assist.

This has also brought his tally to a staggering 23 goals and eight assists this season.

During the game, Lin Ran also felt the changes brought about by the improvement of his basic ability.

Like before, when Lin Ran was pressed by the opponent's tall defenders, he sometimes had unstable feet and was squeezed away by the opponent.

But now his strength has risen to more than 80 points, and he was pressed by Real Betis' tall defenders in this game.

But he can carry it hard with the other party. Prevents the opponent from being crushed by strength.

But Lin Ran can use his flexible body to turn the other party around when he is carrying it hard with the other party.

His goal was scored in the penalty area, using his body to carry the close pressure of the opposing defender.

When he scored the goal, the Betis defender who defended him, Tam, looked stunned and dead.

He probably couldn't figure out why he, a big man of one meter nine, couldn't touch Lin Ran, a guy who was half a head lower than himself.

After playing Real Betis, Lin Ran and his teammates watched the Goal Award ceremony in Zurich in midweek.

The Ballon d'Or was won by Cannavaro, who led the team to the World Cup title in the summer.

When he saw the high-spirited Cannavaro come to the stage to accept the award, Lin Ran was still a little envious.

At the same time, I silently thought in my heart, when will I be able to stand on that platform

, but now I can only think about it, I am still 108,000 miles away from that position.

If you want to get that supreme honor, you need to put in more effort.

After watching the award ceremony, Lin Ran followed the team to the away stadium to challenge their 14th round of league opponent Espanyol.

Atletico played a bit tough in this game.

The Espanyol team was cheered on by the home fans and the morale of the whole team was high.

Against Atletico Madrid, every player is like a dead end.

This has led to some intimidation in Atletico's attack.

And when defending, he seemed a little hesitant.

Towards the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid made a major mistake at the back and were seized by the opponent to score a goal.

With a score of 0-1, both teams ended the first half.

At half-time, Aguirre lost his temper and criticized his teammates.

His roar caused all the team members to clench their fists.

Perhaps it was Aguirre's criticism that played a role, and after the start of the second half, the Atletico players finally picked up their spirits.

In the face of the menacing Spaniards, Atletico Madrid also launched a fierce counterattack.

Finally in the 65th minute of the game, Lin Ran received a pass from Aguero in the penalty area and scored the ball and pulled back a point.

After that, the battle between the two teams became more intense.

In the 76th minute, Torres went down injured in a scramble.

After a check-up, the team doctor confirmed that he was no longer able to continue playing.

This annoyed Aguirre and cursed loudly from the sidelines.

And a fierce clash broke out with Espanyol's head coach Valverde.

In the end, the referee who couldn't bear it could not bear it sent all two managers to the stands.

After the restart, Atletico replaced Torres with Mista.

However, Mista's ability is much worse than Torres'.

This also caused Atletico's forward attack to fall into difficulties for a while.

At the critical moment, it was Lin Ran who used his personal ability to break through in the penalty area, causing the opponent's foul.

The referee decisively awarded a penalty.

Sergio Aguero took the penalty and it was all over the place.

Overtake the score.

In the final moments of the game, the Spaniards, unwilling to lose, launched a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid's goal.

However, Atletico's backline withstood the pressure and eventually maintained the score at 2-1 until the end of the game.

After the game, Lin Ran got the news that Torres's injury needed to recuperate for half a month.

As a result, he will definitely miss the next game against Getafe and the crucial game against Barcelona at the top of the table next week.

This has cast a shadow over the hearts of Atletico Madrid's players.

Head coach Aguirre even lashed out at Espanyol's barbarism in front of the media.

But none of this helps.

Aguirre can only use Mista's main starter in the existing squad for the time being.

However, the gap between Mista's ability and Torres is still very obvious.

This was also evident in the last ten minutes against Espanyol.

He has a big gap with Torres in terms of his ability to grab points, his shooting skills, and his ability to break through.

The only advantage may be that he is physically stronger, and he always has an advantage in the physical confrontation with the opponent's defenders.

The other thing is that he has better header ability than Torres.

So far this season, Mista's playing time has been very limited.

As a result, his form is a source of concern for the manager.

However, in the first few training matches before the game, Mista's performance was decent.

This also made Aguirre put down his snack a little.

This weekend, Atletico will host Getafe.

This team has a good record in the past two years under the leadership of head coach Mitchell.

Last season they finished ninth in the league, one place ahead of Atletico Madrid.

This season, they are also aiming to finish in the top six European places.

In this way, there is a strong competition with Atletico Madrid.

Aguirre also takes this game very seriously.

Before the game, a special tactical drill was also conducted for the characteristics of Getafe.

It's just surprising that this game, which was supposed to be a good one, was played very dullly.

The two teams exchanged blanks in the space of 90 minutes.

In the end, the score was 0-0, and the battle ended.

After the game, Aguirre was very unhappy with Getafe's conservative performance in the game.

He said bluntly: "Getafe are less daring than rats, they were frightened by Atletico's attack and cowered in their own penalty area. In this state, they still want to enter the European zone this year, and I think they may be thinking too much.

And Getafe head coach Schuster said after hearing Aguirre's remarks: "Whether we can enter the European zone or not is not something that Aguirre can judge, but it needs to be verified by a game." As for what he said about our team's timidity, I think when they get to our home stadium, my lads will tell him with their actions that Getafe's dignity is inviolable!"

After this game, Atletico Madrid will travel to Camp Nou in three days' time for the final game before the winter break against Barcelona.
