After the winter break, Atletico Madrid’s first game was an away game against Mallorca.

Mallorca’s performance this season has been mediocre, and they are now ranked fourth from the bottom in the league, only one step away from the relegation zone.

So they now cherish every point in the league.

Although there is a huge gap in strength with Atletico Madrid, Mallorca still played back and forth with Atletico Madrid at home.

And in the cheers of the home fans, Mallorca scored first.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Mallorca got a direct free kick in the frontcourt. Their forward Balop hit a beautiful curve ball directly through the gate guarded by Courtois.

After taking the lead, Mallorca began to retreat across the board and launched a defensive counterattack, trying to drag Atletico Madrid to death.

However, after Atletico Madrid was scored a goal, it seemed as if it had just woken up and began to attack Mallorca’s goal.

And at the end of the first half, Lin Rui blasted their goal with a blast from 25 meters away.

The two teams entered the halftime break with a score of 1-1.

Simone was quite dissatisfied with the performance of his disciples.

In his opinion, it is simply a shame that it is so difficult to play against a team like Mallorca.

In the locker room, he severely criticized all the players.

When the halftime break was over, the two sides returned to the court. Atletico Madrid’s players poured out their grievances during the halftime break on Mallorca and began a crazy attack.

In the 55th minute of the game, Costa received a through ball from Raul Garcia in the penalty area, and then shot a low shot through Mallorca’s goal.

The score was rewritten to 2-1.

Seeing that the score was overtaken, Mallorca’s players also began to become anxious. They could no longer hide in their own half, but began to actively press out to attack.

However, their behavior was basically no different from seeking death against the vigorous Atletico Madrid.

In the 61st minute of the game, Mallorca, who had just scored, made a mistake when passing the ball in the frontcourt. Felipe successfully intercepted the ball, and then found Lin Rui in the frontcourt with a long pass.

After Lin Rui got the ball, he quickly cut inside, dodged the two defenders who came up to defend him, and then kicked the ball directly into the lower left corner of the goal.

3 to 1!

At this time, in the entire Mallorca stadium stands, the home fans had completely lost their passion.

The game continued, and Mallorca, who was at a loss, collapsed even more. In the 73rd minute of the game, Gabi was tripped more than 30 meters away from the goal in the frontcourt, and Atletico Madrid won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Lin Rui stepped forward to take the penalty. He hit the goal with a heavy kick and smashed the ball into the goal again.

The score became 4 to 1!

Lin Rui once again scored a hat trick.

When the football passed over the top of Mallorca’s human wall, the sound of wind caused the players lining the human wall to shrink their necks unconsciously.

This scene also caused serious dissatisfaction among the fans in the stands.

For a moment, boos broke out in the stands, and it was not clear whether the boos were for Atletico Madrid or Mallorca.

Some home fans couldn’t bear to see their team being abused anymore and had begun to leave the game early.

In the following games, Atletico Madrid also began to slow down its offensive pace and began to play pass control.

On the other side, Mallorca, who knew he had no hope of recovery, no longer dared to press hard at this time.

In this way, in the remaining ten minutes of the game, the two sides never scored again.

When the game time came, the referee blew the whistle to end the game without even giving any stoppage time.

In the first game after the winter break, Atletico Madrid scored a big victory.

Lin Rui also continued his heroic form, scoring goals like chopping melons and vegetables.

After the match against Mallorca, the Atletico Madrid team went straight to Valencia without stopping.

There, they will play a Copa del Rey match against Valencia.

Valencia is a traditional strong team in La Liga, so this game is not easy to play.

In the league, Atletico Madrid and Valencia have already met in one round this season.

In that game, Atletico Madrid relied on their home field advantage to narrowly defeat the opponent by one goal with a score of 2-1.

Now it’s Valencia’s home court, and the entire Valencia team is gearing up, preparing to teach Atletico Madrid, who has come all the way, a profound lesson.

The game time is set at 8pm local time on January 9th.

Fifteen minutes early, players from both sides walked onto the court under the leadership of three on-field referees and began the pre-match ceremony.

At this time, it was already two o’clock in the morning in China
