Prominence in Football Community

After entering the new year, Atletico Madrid is indeed a bit unlucky.

The team's performance fluctuated.

The performance in the Champions League this time is also satisfactory.

The team seems to have reached a period of fatigue, and the long-term leadership puts great pressure on them.

But no matter how much pressure there is, at this time they have no other choice but to fight hard.

After all, once you can't bear it, you may collapse completely.

And they didn't even have time to feel annoyed that they didn't win the Champions League. Next up was the Madrid derby.

In the twenty-sixth round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Madrid away.

This game is likely to determine the ownership of the league championship this season.

If Real Madrid can beat Atletico Madrid at home, and Barcelona beat Sevilla at home in this round, they can lead Atletico Madrid by four points and further consolidate their lead.

These four points are likely to cost Atletico Madrid the league title.

After all, they have to count on Barcelona to make two mistakes in the next league, but how can this be possible?

Of course, if Atletico Madrid can beat Real Madrid in the away game, the suspense of the championship with Barcelona will continue.

It's just how could Atletico Madrid easily win at Real Madrid's home court?

Some people say that Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid at home and away in the league last season, but this is of no reference value.

After all, Real Madrid itself was in a state of ups and downs last season. They seemed to have lost the motivation to fight after winning the Champions League.

So they lost to Atletico Madrid 1:2 at home.

But now it's different.

Since the change of head coach, Zidane's Real Madrid has become more and more courageous.

Still undefeated so far.

Not to mention the importance of the Madrid derby, how could Zidane's team lose this game at home?

So everyone is not very optimistic that Atletico Madrid can beat Real Madrid away.

The best possible outcome is a draw.

But then again, what good is a draw for Atletico Madrid? There is no difference between the best outcome and the worst outcome.

Such an important game was arranged after the away game against Eindhoven, leaving Atletico Madrid with very little preparation time.

This may be one of the reasons why Atletico Madrid did not win Eindhoven in the away game. Maybe everyone's thoughts are on the Madrid derby on the weekend, not on the current Champions League game.

Manuel Blanco was thrilled, feeling that he might witness two big happy events in this period of time.

One is that Atletico Madrid's defending league title is completely useless; the other is that Atletico Madrid was also eliminated in the Champions League.

Coupled with Atletico Madrid's early exit from the Copa del Rey, they will be empty-handed this season!

When He Ping arrived in Madrid with CCTV's broadcast team, the sky in Madrid was clear and the weather was very good. The sun shone in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the Barajas Airport terminal, and it even made him feel a little hot when it shone on his body. , Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

But such good weather could not dispel the chill in He Ping's heart.

He fell into deep anxiety.

The following period of time may be a matter of life and death for Atletico Madrid, which is related to the ultimate fate of the team this season.

Atletico Madrid may not win any of the three important championships this season.

In fact, He Ping also knows that this is the norm, and the situation like last season is not normal-how difficult and extraordinary it is to be able to win the league championship for two consecutive seasons in front of the two heroes of the Western Super League what. Still want to grab another one? There has never been such a precedent in history!

With Gao Zheng's outstanding performance in recent years, the appetite of Chinese fans seems to have been raised. It seems that any season without a championship is considered a failure.

But in fact, failure is the norm. In the time before Gao Zheng appeared, for Chinese fans, failure was the norm.

We were so used to facing failure, but now we may have to relearn to face failure.

Losing a championship is no big deal.

Gao Zheng and Atletico Madrid cannot be expected to be undefeated.

These things are what he intends to tell everyone during the live broadcast of Atletico Madrid's away game against Real Madrid.

As a commentator, he believes that he cannot simply explain the game, and he has the obligation and responsibility to guide the correct public opinion.

He didn't want everyone to praise Gao Zheng when he performed well, but once Gao Zheng performed poorly, everyone would trample him into the mud.

But having said that, He Ping was still a little bit unwilling.

Who wants to lose if they can win?

Isn't it because of losing the game after saying so much? To find some reason to comfort myself...

The thought that what he came to witness might be the moment when Atletico Madrid lost the league title, he felt very sad.

The live broadcast of this game had already been decided long ago. After all, it couldn't be a temporary decision to report and comment on the spot.

At the time when CCTV made this decision, Atletico Madrid's results were quite good, leading Barcelona by as much as seven points.

At that time, he was still looking forward to and looking forward to this game.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, the situation would become like this.

Looking at the sunny Madrid, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

You can't explain the game with emotions.

Have a normal heart and a normal heart, even if you lose, it's nothing...

After training on the last day before the game, Simeone did not disband the team directly, but called the players together and formed a circle, and he stood in the circle and said to his players: "Tomorrow is We played Real Madrid, I don't need to say more about the significance of this game, I think each of you knows it."

"I think it's good. With such an opponent in a key game in the league, I'm not at all worried that you will lose your morale or let other things affect your form. I heard some voices recently saying that Real Madrid I am very happy to meet us at this time, they want us to completely lose the hope of winning the championship... To be honest, I think Real Madrid's mentality is ridiculous. Even if we can't win the championship, can they? But at the same time, I I am also very happy to meet Real Madrid at this time, what could be more wonderful than stepping on the dead enemy's corpse and continuing to charge for the championship?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the head coach's words.

They are Atlético Madrid players, they are born against Real Madrid, and they are happy to do anything that can hurt Real Madrid. At the same time, if it can give Real Madrid a double blow, it will be even more enjoyable.

Defeating Real Madrid in the away game, while showing off at home, they can continue to retain their hopes of winning the championship.

"...So let those envious people be jealous and go crazy! I firmly believe that the victory of tomorrow's game will belong to us! Similarly, I also firmly believe that the final victory of this season will belong to us! Disband! Sleep well at night, Let's go make a fuss tomorrow!"
