Super Marshal
Chapter 230: The final is approaching
After playing Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid soon ushered in the 26th round of La Liga. br>
This time it was an away challenge to Alaves.
As the competition progressed, especially after the winter break, Alaves, like some other dark polo teams, gradually declined in league rankings, some of the successors were weak, but some strong and established teams gradually reversed.
At present, Alaves has fallen to seventh in the league, with the same score as Athletic Bilbao.
But this season's Alaves has a problem, the home court is seriously insufficient to grab points.
If we look at the efficiency of away points alone, this team should at least be in the top four, but the efficiency of home points 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 defensive midfielders are standard. Except for a few teams, they are basically playing defensive counterattacks. After all, Real Mallorca, Valencia and Vigo have been in recent years. The results of Celta and other teams are even more tempting.
In a word, La Liga is now more conservative and more utilitarian.
But just relying on excellent defense to get a good ranking in La Liga is simply unrealistic.
Alaves used facts to prove that no matter how good your defense is, you can't play well if you don't have a decent offense.
Therefore, sitting at home, Alaves faced those opponents who had put on a double defensive midfielder, and could only give up three-pointers again and again.
Seeing through this point, Atletico Madrid played Alaves away with more confidence. From the beginning of the game, Gao Han put on a strong offensive posture, vowing to score another three-pointer away.
Alaves was also anxious for Atletico Madrid to press and attack, and he played a defensive counterattack at home.
However, their defense ultimately failed to last ten minutes.
In the eighth minute of the game, after Kaka made a forcible breakthrough with the ball in the middle, he cooperated with Villa two-by-one at the front of the penalty area. After entering the penalty area, he calmly broke the goal and opened the record for Atletico Madrid.
After that, just three minutes later, Villa seized an opportunity and scored again, two to zero.
After scoring consecutive goals, Atletico Madrid made an amazing start, and has been steadily controlling the situation since.
In the second half, Alaves obviously got more and more impatient while playing, while Atletico Madrid patiently controlled the ball and waited for good opportunities.
Finally, in the fifty-sixth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid seized another chance again. Kaka received a pass from Deco and turned around to get rid of the start and went straight behind the defensive line.
Alaves's Argentine defender Kolocchini couldn't react, and turned to chase Torres down.
This time, the referee didn't hesitate to award a red card and sent Kolocini out of the field.
Atletico Madrid, which has the advantage itself, has an even more obvious advantage. In the 67th and 86th minutes, Kaka and Dario Srna scored two goals, and finally rewritten the score. Four to zero.
Four goals broke Alaves and Atletico Madrid had an exciting victory!
At the same time, Athletic Bilbao, who just returned from the Calderon Stadium, defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home under the adjustment of Heynckes, and successfully reported for the Copa del Rey semi-finals. Enmity.
But what is different from the past is that both Athletic Bilbao's goals occurred in the first half.
However, Gao Han saw more in this game.
When drinking with Heynckes, the two focused on Real Madrid and exchanged their opinions and opinions.
The views of the two are surprisingly unified, that is, the most important player of Real Madrid, not Zidane, not Figo, nor Raul, but someone else.
In this game, Heynckes was able to sink the Galaxy Warship smoothly, which basically reflected the results of the previous discussions between the two and made Gao Han more confident about the upcoming Copa del Rey final.
As the highlight of the twenty-sixth round, Barcelona played against Deportivo at the Nou Camp.
Rexach’s team showed a rare blood. After falling behind twice, they equalized twice, and finally relying on Kluivert’s key lore in the 87th minute, three to two. Defeated Deportivo.
As the score shows, Barcelona did a pretty good job in this battle.
At the end of this round, Atletico Madrid is still a great leader, far ahead, but the second place has been quietly replaced.
So far this season, Valencia, who has always been invisible and dewy, has quietly reversed Real Madrid and climbed to the second place in the standings.
Barcelona has also returned to the top four of the league by virtue of its outstanding performance in the recent period.

After playing the 26th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid ushered in the first round of the UEFA Cup round of 16 knockout rounds, and went to Germany non-stop to challenge Hertha Berlin.
The Bundesliga has been very competitive in recent years, and the team's style of play is also rich and varied.
Both Bayern Munich and Dortmund's four-backs, as well as Berlin Hertha and other teams still believe in the traditional three-backs.
Head coach Falke Goetz, like Alpine, also came from the second team of Hertha Berlin. This season, he was promoted to the first team as the head coach. He usually uses a three-four-three formation with a diamond position in the midfield.
This style of play certainly allows Hertha Berlin to have better offensive power when facing opponents who are not as strong as her. However, once facing a strong enemy, Hertha Berlin’s defense will become the most lethal weakness, especially the defense of both ribs. .
In the Bundesliga this season, Hertha Berlin has been bloodbathed by Dortmund, Kaiserslautern and Hamburg, which is a big proof.
In an away game against Hertha Berlin, Alpine naturally focused on the opponent's two ribs to make a fuss.
Only in the seventeenth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid took the lead in creating a murderous opportunity. Kaka's exquisite cooperation with Villa on the left rib created a foul by the opponent's central defender in the penalty area.
With a red card and a penalty kick, Villa personally took the penalty, one to zero.
Afterwards, Atletico Madrid also slowed down the offensive appropriately, but at the beginning of the second half, the Sheets re-launched an attack. Torres made another victory for Atletico Madrid in just four minutes, expanding the score to two to zero.
In the 70th minute, Deco added the icing on the cake, scoring the third goal for Atletico Madrid.
Three to zero, Atletico Madrid returned home with an away win.

Defeating Hertha Berlin, Atletico Madrid returned to the Calderon Stadium, ushering in the 27th round of La Liga opponent, Celta Vigo.
Perhaps it is the hope that taking advantage of Atletico Madrid's continuous multi-line battle, fish in troubled waters, or perhaps because of other reasons, Victor Fernandez's team actually played a steal tactic at the Calderon Stadium.
Although the attack after the opening really disrupted Atletico Madrid's position, it also brought a lot of trouble to the Sheets, and even really let Celta Vigo seized the opportunity, by Edu in the 20th minute. Scored a goal.
But this goal also completely sobered Atletico Madrid.
Just five minutes later, Atletico Madrid got a chance to set the ball in the front court. Dario Srna made a direct penalty and equalized the score for Atletico Madrid.
Ten minutes later, Torres made another move and surpassed the score.
After that, Atletico Madrid was like a smash, launching a wave of mad attacks, and before the end of the first half, Celta Vigo’s midfielder Alexander Mostovoi was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards.
In the second half, Atlético de Madrid rallied. Although the referee gave the visiting team some preferential treatment for balance considerations, and also showed a yellow card to many Atletico Madrid players, but in the end, the Baptista and Marchena scored by the Baptista and Marchena. Lock the score at four to one.
In the other games of the 27th round, Real Madrid defeated Alaves 3-1 at home, Deportivo defeated Zaragoza 1-0 at home, and Valencia beat Barcelona at home 2-0.
The hapless Rexach, finally the team just got better, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, in a strong dialogue, Benitez's team directly hit the prototype.
What's 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 under all the bombardment of the Catalan media after the game.
After this round, Barcelona's ranking has fallen 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 ushered in Hertha Berlin.
For the weekend’s Madrid derby, and the first round of the match is already in hand, Alpine rotated the team’s lineup, including Cedu Keita, Baptista, Roberto, Aguilera and Players such as Pablo Ibáñez have all qualified for the starting game.
But this group of substitute players still behaved 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 in the two ribs.
This time, Gao Han tentatively arranged a four-three-two-one Christmas tree formation, allowing Correa and Baptista to be the second, with Kiko starting on the front line.
At first, the players still looked a little uncomfortable, the scene was a bit 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 once again exposed.
In the end ~lightnovelpub.net~ Baptista and Correa scored a goal each, helping Atletico Madrid defeat Hertha Berlin by 2-0.
It is worth mentioning that both goals came from Kiko's assists.
With a total score of five to zero, Atletico Madrid successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
On the same day as Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid went to an away game to challenge Porto.
This is the fourth round of the second stage of the Champions League group stage. Real Madrid, which has won three consecutive victories, won Porto 2-1 away, but the two sides played inextricably in the 90 minutes of the game.
With four consecutive victories, Real Madrid advanced from the group to first place.
After playing mid-week European events, the time has entered March.
In the blink of an eye, the 28th round of the league’s Madrid derby and the upcoming Copa del Rey final have filled the entire Madrid with a strong atmosphere of killing.
But before the war, Atletico Madrid suddenly received a fax from the Football Association.
