Super Marshal

After playing Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid soon ushered in the twenty-sixth round of La Liga.

This time it is an away game against Alaves.

With the deepening of the competition, especially after the winter break, Alaves, like some other dark polo teams, gradually declined in the league rankings, and some were weak in succession. On the contrary, some strong old teams gradually reversed.

At present, Alaves has fallen to seventh in the league, with the same points as Athletic Bilbao.

However, there is a problem with Alaves this season, which is a serious shortage of points at home.

If you look at the efficiency of scoring away points alone, this team should at least rank in the top four, but the efficiency of scoring points at home is too poor.

The main reason is that this team's offensive ability is too poor.

Today's La Liga is very different from the past. Double midfielders are standard equipment. Except for a few teams, they are basically playing defensive counterattacks. After all, in recent years, Real Mallorca, Valencia and Vigo The results of Celta and other teams are even more exciting.

In a word, the current La Liga is more conservative and more utilitarian.

But only relying on excellent defense to get a good ranking in La Liga is simply unrealistic.

Aravis used facts to prove that no matter how good your defense is, if you don't have a good offense, you still can't play well.

Therefore, sitting at home, Alaves can only give up three-pointers again and again in the face of the opponents who put on strict defense and defend the double midfielders.

Seeing through this point, Atletico Madrid's away game against Alaves seemed more confident. From the beginning of the game, Gao Han put on a strong attacking posture, vowing to score another three points in the away game.

Alaves is also eager for Atletico Madrid to press out and attack, and sits at home and also adopts defensive counterattack tactics.

However, their defense failed to survive ten minutes in the end.

In the eighth minute of the game, Kaka dribbled the ball in the middle and forced a breakthrough. He cooperated with Villa in the front of the penalty area and scored calmly after breaking into the penalty area, opening the scoring for Atlético de Madrid.

Then, just three minutes later, Villa seized a chance and scored again, 2-0.

After consecutive goals, Atletico Madrid made an amazing start and has been steadily controlling the situation since then.

In the second half, Alaves obviously became more and more impatient, while Atletico Madrid patiently controlled the ball and waited for a good opportunity.

Finally, in the fifty-sixth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid seized another opportunity. After receiving a wonderful pass from Deco, Kaka turned around and got rid of the start, and went straight behind the defense.

Alaves' Argentine central defender Coloccini couldn't react in time, and pulled Torres down when he turned around and chased.

This time, the referee awarded a red card without hesitation and sent Coloccini off the pitch.

Atlético de Madrid, which had the upper hand, became even more dominant after having one more player. In the 67th and 86th minutes, Kaka and Dario Srna scored two consecutive goals, finally rewriting the score Four to zero.

Four goals beat Alaves, Atletico Madrid played an exciting victory!

At the same time, Athletic Bilbao, who had just returned from the Calderon Stadium, defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home under the adjustment of Heynckes, and successfully reported the semi-final of the King's Cup. revenge.

But what is different from the past is that both goals of Athletic Bilbao occurred in the first half.

However, Gao Han saw more in this game.

When drinking with Heynckes, the two focused on discussing Real Madrid and exchanged their experiences and opinions.

The opinions of the two are surprisingly unified, that is, the most important player of Real Madrid is not Zidane, Figo, or Raul, but someone else.

In this game, Heynckes was able to successfully sink the Galactic battleship, which basically reflected the results of the previous discussion between the two, and also made Gao Han more confident about the upcoming King's Cup final.

As the highlight of the twenty-sixth round, Barcelona played against Deportivo at the Camp Nou.

Rexach's team showed a rare bloodiness. After falling behind twice, they equalized twice. In the end, thanks to Kluivert's key lore in the 87th minute, the score was 3-2. Defeated Deportivo.

As the score shows, Barcelona did perform quite well in this battle.

After this round of battle, Atletico Madrid is still leading the way, but the second place has quietly changed.

So far this season, Valencia, who has been quiet and quiet, has quietly reversed Real Madrid and climbed to the second place in the standings.

Barcelona has also returned to the top four in the league by virtue of its recent outstanding performance.

After finishing the twenty-sixth round of La Liga, Atlético de Madrid ushered in the first round of the UEFA Cup round of sixteen knockout rounds. They went to Germany non-stop to challenge Hertha Berlin away.

The competition in the Bundesliga has been fierce in recent years, and the team's style of play is also rich and varied.

There are not only the four backs of Bayern Munich and Dortmund, but also teams such as Hertha Berlin that still believe in the traditional three backs.

Head coach Falk Goetz, like Gao Han, also came from the second team of Hertha Berlin. This season, he was promoted to the first team as the head coach. He used to use a three-four-three formation with a diamond-shaped midfielder.

This style of play certainly allows Hertha Berlin to have better offensive power when facing opponents who are not as strong as itself, but once facing a strong enemy, Hertha Berlin's defense will become the most deadly weakness, especially the defense of the two ribs .

In the Bundesliga this season, Hertha Berlin has been bloodbathed by Borussia Dortmund, Kaiserslautern and Hamburg successively, which is a big proof.

Playing away against Hertha Berlin, Gao Han naturally focused on the opponent's sides to make a fuss.

Only in the 17th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid took the lead in creating a murderous intention. Kaka's exquisite cooperation with Villa on the left flank created a foul by the opponent's central defender in the penalty area.

A red card plus a penalty kick, Villa personally took the penalty hit, 1-0.

After that, Atletico Madrid also slowed down their offensive appropriately, but at the beginning of the second half, the Sheets launched another attack. Torres made another victory for Atletico Madrid in just four minutes, extending the score to 2-0.

In the 70th minute, Deco added the icing on the cake, scoring Atlético's third goal.

Three to zero, Atletico Madrid returned with a big away victory.

After defeating Hertha Berlin, Atletico Madrid returned to the Calderon Stadium and ushered in the 27th round opponent of La Liga, Celta Vigo.

Perhaps it was hoping to take advantage of Atletico Madrid's continuous multi-line battles to fish in troubled waters, or perhaps because of other reasons, Victor Fernandez's team actually played a rushing tactic at the Calderon Stadium.

Although, the attack after the opening did disrupt Atletico Madrid's position and brought a lot of trouble to the Sheets. It even allowed Celta Vigo to seize the opportunity. Edu scored in the 20th minute Scored a goal.

But this goal also made Atletico Madrid completely awake.

Just five minutes later, Atlético Madrid had a chance from a set-piece up the pitch and Dario Srna scored a direct penalty to equalize for Atlético.

Ten minutes later, Torres made another move to overtake the score.

After that, Atletico Madrid launched a wave of violent attacks, and before the end of the first half, Celta Vigo's midfielder Aleksandar Mostovoi was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards.

Atlético de Madrid went all out in the second half. Although the referee gave some preferential treatment to the visiting team out of balance considerations and also showed many Atletico Madrid players yellow cards, in the end the Sheets relied on the goals of Baptista and Marchena. Lock the score at four to one.

In the other games of the twenty-seventh round, Real Madrid defeated Alaves 3-1 at home, Deportivo defeated Zaragoza 1-0 at home, and Valencia beat Barcelona 2-0 at home.

Unlucky Rexach, the team had just started to improve with great difficulty. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, in the middle of a strong dialogue, Benitez's team directly returned to its original form.

What's even more tragic is that Barcelona seemed to have possession of the ball throughout the game, but in fact there was no threat at all. This also made Rexach all bombarded by the Catalan media after the game.

After this round, Barcelona's ranking also fell again, falling to fifth in the league.

However, the top three rankings in the league remain unchanged.

After the twenty-seventh round of the league, Atletico Madrid sits at home and welcomes Hertha Berlin.

For the Madrid Derby on the weekend, and the fact that the first round of the game is already a sure thing, Gao Han has rotated the team lineup, including Sedu Keita, Baptista, Roberto, Aguilera and Players such as Pablo Ibanez have all been eligible to start.

But this group of substitute players still performed quite tenaciously on the court, desperately grasping this hard-won starting qualification, and caused a lot of trouble for Hertha Berlin on the court, especially on the two ribs.

This time, Gao Han tentatively arranged a 4321 Christmas tree formation, letting Correa and Baptista serve as the second, and Kiko started on the front line.

At first, the players seemed a little uncomfortable, and the scene was a little chaotic, but the defense was solid.

But as the game progressed, it gradually improved, especially in the second half, Hertha Berlin's two ribs were exposed again.

In the end, Baptista and Correa each scored a goal to help Atletico Madrid beat Hertha Berlin 2-0.

It is worth mentioning that both goals came from Kiko's assists.

With an aggregate score of five to zero, Atletico Madrid advanced to the quarterfinals.

On the same day as Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid went away to challenge Porto.

This is the fourth round of the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Real Madrid, which has won three consecutive victories, is invincible. They won Porto 2-1 in the away game, but the two sides played inseparable within 90 minutes of the game.

With four consecutive victories, Real Madrid advanced from the group in advance.
