Golden Greenery

Before the last round of last season, the top three teams of Royal Sabah had miraculously accumulated 87 points after a season of fighting.

After the penultimate round of the season, the situation of the three teams sharing the same points has not been repeated, but the championship is still undecided. The competition was 92, 90, and 86, with only Barcelona firmly in third place.

Each of the top three won in the last round of last season. There were three teams with the same points in La Liga for the first time in history. Atletico Madrid relied on their mutual record advantages - the gangsters faced Real Madrid with one win and one draw, and finally won the competition. A champion in a terrible year.

This year Atletico Madrid has no record advantage and has two draws with Real Madrid in the league, but this time the Gangsters have a 2-point advantage.

Real Madrid has 27 wins, 9 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 90 points, scoring 117 goals and conceding 38, with a goal difference of 79. Zhuo Yang's team always has the highest offensive power in Europe.

Atletico Madrid has 29 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 92 points, scoring 77 goals and conceding 27, with a goal difference of 50.

The final round of the 2013-14 La Liga season was anything but complicated. The prerequisite for suspense is that Real Madrid must defeat the Spaniard at home. Otherwise, no matter whether it is a draw or a loss, no matter how bad Atletico Madrid plays, the champion will be Atletico Madrid.

If Real Madrid wins, Atletico Madrid must also win and can only rely on points advantage to retain the title. If they tie with Real Madrid on the same points, the Royal Dogs' huge goal difference advantage will kill them all.

Real Madrid's match against Espanyol at the Bernabeu will basically have no suspense. Although the Parrots have the title of 'giant killer' this season, they cannot beat Real Madrid. The Spaniards are 5 points above the relegation zone and 20 points away from the European competition zone. Are they going to have to fight to the death in their last bloody battle with Real Madrid, who they have a good relationship with?

But this unwavering conclusion of victory is based on the premise that Real Madrid itself does not decline, otherwise it will commit suicide. It would not be unusual to lose to the Chinese primitives, let alone lose to the Spaniards.

In the eyes of outsiders, Real Madrid should naturally go all out to win the final game and then leave the rest to God to decide. But within the Real Madrid dressing room, opinions on the final game were divided.

Many players think that they should let nature take its course. In fact, they think that they should go through the motions with healthy playing methods and start preparing for the Champions League final now. There are many people within Real Madrid who hold this view.

Is it strange to have such a view when there is still hope for the championship? Not really.

Real Madrid is a top club, and almost every player on the team is a nationally renowned player from a different country. Those players who have the task of participating in this summer's World Cup and are expected to be included in the World Cup roster suddenly adopt self-protective playing methods at the end of the season. If you think about it carefully, In fact, there is nothing hard to figure out.

Real Madrid, which had been going steadily this season, suddenly collapsed in the last four rounds. First of all, it was because the team reached the Champions League final. Compared with the league championship, everyone had higher-level goals, and Colombian striker Falcao was in Ligue 1 was injured again, which also sounded the alarm for those who have too much to worry about.

Falcao moved to Monaco from Atletico Madrid for 60 million last summer. This price puts him firmly among the top stars. After all, people in football history who are more expensive than him can be counted on their fingers.

In January this year, Falcao injured his knee in the French Cup and was out until the end of April. He is the banner figure of Colombian football today, so after Zhuoyang issued the "Brazilian Heroes Order", he immediately unveiled the imperial list, and no one would question his lack of qualifications.

However, just as Falcao was full of enthusiasm and ready to discuss swordsmanship with the heroes of Brazil, Zhuoyang didn't have time to praise him. Falcao was injured again in the French Ligue 1 game, and it was the same knee. And this time the injury was more serious, and he was directly declared reimbursed for the World Cup.

Falcao's lesson immediately made many international players in the Real Madrid team murmur. Although Celta Vigo came back to win the last game, Arbeloa and Di Maria were injured successively during the hard struggle, which further aggravated the concerns of Real Madrid players in this regard.

The fighting spirit on the court cannot be measured by statistics. It is often just a little bit of psychological factors. As a result, Real Madrid had one draw and one loss in the following games, directly losing the initiative to win the championship.

Ancelotti is a veteran, so he naturally saw the signs, but to be honest, he is not a locker-room controlling coach, so he is helpless. In addition, he really valued the tenth Champions League more, so he thought of giving up the league.

And for players who hold a laissez-faire view on the last game against Espanyol, there is another very important and very convincing reason - Atletico Madrid's last opponent is Barcelona.

Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are mortal enemies. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Therefore, Atletico Madrid has always had a good relationship with Barcelona. Atletico Madrid is even the core member of the Barcelona team in La Liga.

With the final round of the league left, Barcelona is 4 points behind second-placed Real Madrid and 19 points ahead of fourth-placed Zaragoza. Although it has lost all four majors again, it has fallen behind in the final round with no desire and no desire.

Will Barcelona fight for Atletico Madrid? Unless there is water in the head, not to mention that Real Madrid will be the cheaper one after a desperate fight. The only thing Barcelona needs to do is not to let the water be too obvious.

Therefore, in the normal thinking of Real Madrid people, Atletico Madrid will definitely win the last round. In this case, is it necessary to take the game with Espanyol seriously?

In the long history of La Liga, as long as a similar situation occurs, the royal teams will definitely give each other a ladder, and no one will be a fool for fair play. In the 2003-04 season, the reason why Barcelona fell to the UEFA Cup and suffered a blow from Madibo was because Real Madrid had given trouble to Barcelona's competitors Celta Vigo and Valencia.

In the 1999-2000 season, Depor finally beat Barcelona to win the championship, and also had the amazing assist of fifth-place Real Madrid. The reverse is also true. Barcelona has always used the same method to add obstacles to Real Madrid. This year it is just a replay of the situation.

If you come out to mess around, you will always have to pay it back. Real Madrid and Barcelona are a bad debt.

This is the struggle when destiny cannot be controlled in one's own hands. If Real Madrid leads Atletico Madrid in points at this time, even if it is only one point, there will be no such obvious differences of opinion in the locker room.

Last season, the whole team played the final battle, but they still watched Atletico Madrid seal the victory in the last few minutes, thus winning the championship with mutual record advantages, which further deepened the psychological implications of this disagreement.

Taking all these factors into account, we cannot use moral kidnapping to blame those players who have a pessimistic attitude towards the final game.

But Zhuoyang didn't have this hurdle in the past. He launched the "Players Season Agreement" after falling out with Mourinho early last year for Real Madrid's triple crown, and he has been fighting since then.

Nothing is absolute. If Atletico Madrid fails and Real Madrid fails to seize the opportunity because they give up, Zhuo Yang will definitely regret it for the rest of his life and feel sorry for his struggle for the past year and a half.

To be honest, it is much more difficult to lead Real Madrid than to lead Madiburg, Milan and Barcelona. Among those three teams, Zhuo Yang did not find it so strenuous.

It is impossible to use a gun to force teammates who are unwilling to fight hard to be more serious on the field. Zhuoyang can only force Ancelotti. After several days of discussions in the locker room, An Pang and Zhuo Yang decided not to look at strength in the final game, but only at attitude, and let those players who were still unwilling to give up play.

Seeing the starting list, the outside world thought that Real Madrid had accepted its fate.
