Chapter 388 Half-Championship
Of course, Gao Bo has no time to engage in a public opinion war with Mourinho.
Gao Bo is still very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses.
When confronting Mourinho in words, isn't this using one's own weaknesses to attack the other's strengths? Gao Bo wouldn't do such a thing, and he didn't have time to do it.
After the end of the eighteenth round of the league, In fact, Atletico Madrid has already locked the half-way championship in advance, but since the nineteenth round of the league has not yet started, the system has not cashed out the rewards of the half-way championship series tasks.
After the eighteenth round of the league, the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals began immediately.
On the third day after the game with Hercules, at home, Atletico Madrid played against the visiting Real Betis!
Before the game, many media believed that Real Betis might give up this game, because Real Betis had great hope of upgrading this season. In the league, their leading point advantage of the second place has been weakened to two points. Winning the Bundesliga title and then upgrading to La Liga is the biggest goal of Real Betis. Distracting the Copa del Rey doesn't mean anything to Real Betis unless they can win the championship in this competition.
But this is simply not possible!
Real Betis will not put their hopes on such an ethereal thing. For them, upgrading is the most real thing.
Therefore, in this game, Atletico Madrid is still half of the main team and half of the bench, while Real Betis is completely on the bench!
Real Betis completely put on a gesture of giving up the Copa del Rey!
In the end, their substitute lineup did not get any benefit at Calderon Stadium. Real Betis' substitutes wanted to perform in this game, seize this rare starting opportunity, and impress the coach with their performance. With the expectation of getting a starting position!
But after all, Atletico Madrid is too weak in strength, and the efforts of Real Betis were shattered in the 20th minute of the game!
A clever shot in the penalty area of Aguero, the football passed from the crotch of the defender, such a line was completely in the blind corner of the goalkeeper's line of sight, so the Real Betis goalkeeper had nothing to do.
After taking the lead, Atletico Madrid played more calmly. They controlled the rhythm on the field and kept tearing Real Betis' defense with passing balls. After falling behind, Real Betis could only be exhausted.
Motivated by the constant passing of Atlético de Madrid's frontcourt. In the 38th minute of the game, the second goal came naturally. Thiago Cardoso, who started the game in this game, made a low shot from the penalty area line through the goal! Atlético de Madrid leads 2-0!
Atlético de Madrid, who had a two-goal lead, played even more unhurriedly. In the second half, Mario Suarez headed the net, and the substitute Immobile scored a shot in the penalty area. Atletico Madrid led Real Betis 4-0 at home!
In the two rounds of the King's Cup match, Atletico Madrid had already sealed the victory in the first round!
Of course, the media after the game will not think that Atletico Madrid will have any accident in the second round. It is already a certainty that Atletico Madrid will reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. As for whether they can reach the final? That depends on their lottery status.
Gao Bo was not surprised by the 4-0 victory over Real Betis. After all, the opponent is only a second-tier league team. If they can't win big against such a team, then Atletico Madrid will do it as soon as possible. Put out the ambition to win the league...
After the Copa del Rey game, Atletico Madrid will have a league game three days later!
January 18, the nineteenth round of the league! The last game of the first half of the league! Atlético de Madrid will play Mallorca at home!
Mallorca have performed well this season. They are currently ranked seventh in the league, and they will continue to climb up, and even have the possibility of qualifying for a Europa League.
In this game, both sides are naturally doing their best. For Mallorca, they only have the league as a front to fight. Naturally, there is no possibility of giving up in a certain game. So it is impossible for Atletico Madrid to win as easily as they did in the Copa del Rey.
Atlético de Madrid is indeed not easy to win at home. Atlético de Madrid, the main force, is facing an impregnable wall placed by Mallorca!
In the 21st minute of the game, Mallorca even scored a goal through a counterattack! After scoring the goal, Mallorca was even more at ease and boldly placed the bus in the backcourt. They began to enter the passive game mode from the first half. Ten defensive players piled up in the penalty area. Procrastinate as long as you can!
Most teams in La Liga now see Atletico Madrid as a team on the same level as Barcelona and Real Madrid. …
In the face of the opponent's extreme defensive method, Atletico Madrid's offense was not smooth. It was not until the last moment of the first half that a corner kick was passed. After the football was cleared out of the penalty area, left-back Sandro rushed up and took a kick. Hit a world wave! Atlético de Madrid opened up the game with a long-range shot!
But no matter how the goal was scored, Atletico Madrid finally broke Mallorca's tortoise shell!
In the second half, the goal came very early!
Griezmann made a successful pass on the side and entered the penalty area. He made a strong cross to the center from a position close to the bottom line. As a result, the Mallorca defender in the center made a panic and made a mistake, hitting the ball into his own goal. . . .
Own goals!
With such an own goal, Atletico Madrid overtook the score!
Then Atletico Madrid continued to attack, they also created some chances, but after all, no more goals were scored.
In the end, the score of this game was 2 to 1. Atletico Madrid won the last game of the first half of the league with a difficult victory at home!
"The game is over!! The game is over!!!"
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Aduris in the commentary was very excited!
"Congratulations to Atlético de Madrid, they won the 2010-2011 half-time title, although this does not mean that they can get any honors now, but there is one statistic that deserves our attention - the past ten years, the half-time champion of the ball. The team won the final league championship! This data may be very encouraging for Atlético de Madrid fans, but can Gao Bo's team maintain their current state of play in the second half of the game? We will wait and see!"
Gao Bo did not appear too excited.
After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Gao Bo walked towards the head coach Laudrup of Mallorca. Facing the opponent's compliment, Gao Bo was also calm.
Aduriz is right about one thing, a half-time title doesn't mean anything.
The final league title will not depend on your points in the half of the league. At most, it can only show that Atletico Madrid performed well in the first half. As for the second half, can Atletico Madrid maintain the state of the first half? Gao Bo didn't dare to make a deal himself. The only thing he can do is to maintain the intensity in training and maintain the physical fitness of the players through reasonable rotation.
This season is still halfway through.
