Chapter 390: Approaching the King's Cup Final

Chapter 390 is approaching the King's Cup final

The draw for the Copa del Rey semi-finals is coming soon.

Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Almería, these four teams reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Ahead of the draw, the biggest concern was of course that Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid could be drawn together for a Madrid derby in the Copa del Rey semi-final.

But in the end, the two Madrid teams were staggered, with Real Madrid drawing Sevilla and Atletico Madrid drawing Almería!

Atletico Madrid's signings after reaching the quarter-finals have been very good!

The quarter-finals drew Real Betis, allowing Atlético de Madrid to pass the test easily.

Of course, Gao Bo has nothing to say about drawing such an opponent. It is much better to draw Almería than Real Madrid or Sevilla. Although the team's goal is still to win the King's Cup, but in the process it can be better. It's always better to take it easy.

However, Gao Bo said nothing, and the other person said a lot.

"They have good luck! Really, good luck! First Real Betis, then Almería, I'm sure Almería's most important task now is to avoid relegation and they won't invest more in the Copa del Rey Yes! So I say Atlético de Madrid is lucky..."

In an interview with the media, Mourinho mocked with a blank face.

This is a Portuguese who is always on the attack.

 …

On January 23, in the twentieth round of the league, Atlético de Madrid played away to Atlético Gijon.

At the pre-match press conference, Gao Bo was asked what he thought of Mourinho's complaining attitude.

"From the time I knew Mourinho, he kept complaining, complaining about the schedule, complaining about the weather, complaining about the turf, complaining about the fans, complaining about the opponents... But for me, I also want to complain now. For a moment, Mourinho thinks that we were lucky to draw Almería, but in my opinion, Almería is still very strong and we need to deal with it seriously. If we are really lucky, we should To be drawn to Real Madrid, this season at the Bernabeu, where I have left a lot of good memories."

The reporters on the scene laughed - except for the pro-Real Madrid media.

This round of league matches between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid kicked off at the same time. Real Madrid will play Mallorca at home in this round of the league, but Real Madrid's pre-match press conference was a little late.

Mourinho naturally saw what Gao Bo said in the press conference.

"What I need to tell Gaobo is that I am not a complaining manager, I have two Champions League titles!"

Mourinho looked arrogant.

"For Real Madrid, we are always looking forward to the game against Atlético de Madrid!!"

Even if there is no direct dialogue, the two teams in Madrid are still full of gunpowder.

 …

The twentieth round of the league is not difficult for Atletico Madrid.

Although Gao Bo made some rotations for the Copa del Rey game, Atletico Madrid still defeated Sporting Gijon, who are currently the bottom of the league, 3-1 away.

And after this game, the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey come one after another!

The schedule of La Liga this season is so bizarre that Gao Bo is also a little powerless to complain.

The games leading up to the Copa del Rey final have been driving fast, and the final will not be played until more than two months later. …

This also forced Atletico Madrid to make rotations in order to cope with the intensive schedule.

On January 27, the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final!

Atlético de Madrid vs Almería!

Atlético de Madrid has rotated some of the main players, but Almería has not actually sent the main team. They are deep in the relegation zone. For Almería, relegation is the top priority.

There is no suspense in the end of this game. Of course, Almería will not think about giving up. Even if it is not the main lineup, Almería's players still work very hard.

After all, this is the Copa del Rey semi-final!

For the players of Almería, the semi-final is a further step to the final. Any game reaches the final. In this kind of game-to-win game, then any possibility may happen.

Almería's coach may not have the heart to fight for anything in the Copa del Rey, but the Almería players don't think so.

The Almería players, who were almost desperate in the game, had to fight for every ball. They fought with a tough body and moved aggressively to resist Atlético de Madrid's attack stubbornly on the road.

As the game progressed, Almería's players became more and more courageous in the increasingly violent offensive of Atlético de Madrid. They seemed to have become heroes against the big devil, but...it seemed very tragic.

In the end, the hero was beaten by the big devil. Atletico Madrid scored two goals after adjustment through substitutions in the second half, and finally defeated Almería 2-0.

Although the score of 2-0 is not big, it also means that in the second round of the two sides, Atletico Madrid already has a big advantage, and Almería is not strong. This score basically means that Madrid Athletic half foot entered the threshold of the final.

The other semi-final was Real Madrid's away game against Sevilla. In the end, Mourinho's team defeated the opponent with a score of 1-0, and Real Madrid, who won away, basically locked the place in the final.

There is a good chance that the two teams from Madrid will meet in the final.

Of course, this is only a possibility. Almería and Sevilla are not necessarily without a chance to advance, but the chance is relatively slim.

The second leg of the two sides will be played in a week, and before that, there will be another round of La Liga.

On January 30, in the twenty-first round of the league, Atletico Madrid played against Athletic Bilbao at home.

Atlético de Madrid, who were in excellent condition, met the stubborn resistance of the Bilbao Lions!

Atlético de Madrid was behind for a while, and finally at the very end of the second half, Modric scored to help the team equalize the score.

Atletico Madrid suffered their second draw of the season.

The fans originally thought that this would be an opportunity for Real Madrid to chase points. As a result, Mourinho's team lost to Osasuna 0-1 on the road, but Atletico Madrid continued to expand the point difference...

The League of the King's Cup is intensive, which also affects the strength of Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona, ​​who were eliminated from the Copa del Rey, won at home and continued their winning streak. They are now 55 points behind Atletico Madrid and fourth behind Real Madrid.

After this round of the league, on February 3, in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, Atlético de Madrid played away to Almería.

There is no suspense in the game. Atlético de Madrid once again defeated the opponent with a score of 2-0, with a total score of 4-0, and it is close to the final of the Copa del Rey!

Their opponent will be Real Madrid!

Mourinho's side beat Sevilla 2-0 at home to reach the final!

The final of the Copa del Rey this season will be a showdown between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, a highly anticipated Madrid derby!
