Chapter 378 The Calm Before the Storm
Remember【 】for a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!
In the thirty-sixth round of the league, Atletico Madrid played Vallecano at home. As analyzed by the bookmakers, Simeone considered that he had just finished the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich in this game, and at the same time he would challenge Bayern away. Munich, so a substantial rotation was made to the lineup.
Even Gao Zheng, who was always on the court to ensure victory, sat on the bench in this game.
Looking at this posture, it really makes people think that Simeone doesn't even want the league championship...
Of course, it is impossible for Simeone not to miss the league championship, but he is indeed ready to lose - anyway, his team is now five points ahead of Barcelona, even if they lose a game, Barcelona wins a game, and the difference between the two sides is reduced to With two points, Atletico Madrid is still number one.
And they can get a chance to breathe. After the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, if Atletico Madrid can reach the final, the final will be on May 28, and La Liga will end on May 14. No, it won't affect the league at all.
Naturally, he can go all out in the remaining two rounds of the league, spare no effort to compete with Barcelona for the league championship, and ensure that he can finally win the championship by relying on the advantages of these two league points.
This is Simeone's wishful thinking.
Atlético Madrid, who played with all substitutes, did have a tough start.
Until the 60th minute, the score was still 0:0.
In fact, even in the final draw, Simeone is completely acceptable, because there is at least one point for a draw.
However, in order to keep the main players in a certain state of play, he continued to replace Gao Zheng, Griezmann and Cork in the 65th minute.
After these three players came on the field, Atletico Madrid's offensive became threatening.
Vallecano's persistence did not last long. In the 75th minute, their goal was finally broken by Atletico Madrid.
And the one who scored the goal was... Gao Zheng who "wanted it all"!
"High!!! Thirty-fourth goal this season! He is temporarily tied with Suarez who has not played this round of the league!" Jose Maria doesn't care about Atletico Madrid's points now. I am more concerned about Gao Zheng's personal goals.
Now that the Catalan media has started to hype the Golden Boot race,
And clearly support Suarez, as a media person in Madrid, of course we must support our players in Madrid.
So he made no secret of his position in the commentary.
※※※
In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Vallecano 1-0 at home with Gao Zheng's goal.
The main players were rested, and the team also successfully scored three points. Before the Barcelona game was played, they led Barcelona by as many as eight points. The league championship was getting closer and closer to them.
It couldn't have been a better result for Simeone.
Even if Gao Zheng only scored one goal, there are still hidden dangers...
Sure enough, in the ensuing Barcelona away game against Real Betis, Suarez also scored a goal to help the team win 2:0.
In the league standings, Atletico Madrid continues to lead Barcelona by five points, while in the league scorer list, Suarez continues to lead Gao Zheng by one goal.
There are two rounds left in the league, and the competition between the two sides has reached a fever pitch.
Although after the game, whether it was Gao Zheng or Suarez, whether it was Simeone or Enrique, they talked about other things in interviews-Simeone and Gao Zheng were talking about the next match with Bayern Munich. In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Enrique and Suarez were still talking about the league championship, and they have not given up competing for this honor on the surface.
Although everyone tacitly did not mention the Golden Boot dispute, everyone still smelled the taste of the approaching storm-this is the depressing tranquility before the storm!

"The game is over! Bayern Munich were tied 1:1 at home by Borussia Monchengladbach! Although they scored a goal from Thomas Müller in the opening six minutes, they were slowly tied in the 72nd minute. And On the other hand, Dortmund defeated Wolfsburg 5:1. Bayern Munich, who did not win this game, had to postpone their league title by another round... But this is no problem, after all, Bayern Munich is now ahead of Dortmund by five. Winning the championship is only a matter of time..." German commentator Marcel Leif said.
"And the reason why this game was not won is that Bayern Munich's mind is not in the game. They are all thinking about the next Champions League semi-final. The players are obviously absent-minded. After Muller's early goal, Bayern Munich actually There were many opportunities to expand the score, but none of them were seized. It can be said that this game can still have a draw in the end, rather than a defeat. God has been very tolerant of Bayern Munich..."
Marcel Leif said it well.
Bayern Munich's whole team was out of shape in this game, and it was a good result not to lose.
Moreover, after the game, the media opinion was quite tolerant towards Bayern Munich. They did not criticize Bayern Munich's performance in this game, but instead recognized Guardiola's personnel adjustments in this game for the UEFA Champions League semi-final in the middle of next week. , and no one criticized the performance of the Bayern Munich players.
In the face of the righteousness of the Champions League, everything else is trivial and not worth mentioning.
However, the lack of criticism from the media does not mean that the Bayern Munich players have no pressure.
On the contrary, this kind of tolerance means greater pressure.
After all, everyone created such a tolerant environment for them, so that Bayern Munich can break through the curse of falling to the semi-finals and La Liga teams in the Champions League for two consecutive years.
As long as we can reach the Champions League final, then everything is easy to say.
But if they fail to succeed, everything they have done before will become evidence of their failure to qualify. Today's extremely tolerant media will immediately start to dig out the performance of the players who were tied by Borussia Mönchengladbach in this game, and use these as Evidence that the team failed to qualify for the Champions League final.
In other words, the tolerance of today's media and public opinion is actually an ultimatum. Bayern Munich has no way out, and if they lose, they will face countless people's verbal criticism.
The media reporters probably even thought about the title of the second plan:
"Shocked! The team's defeat was revealed early! The performance against Borussia Mönchengladbach foretells everything!"
At the post-match press conference, everyone asked about the Champions League.
Ask Guardiola if he is ready for the second leg against Atletico Madrid.
Ask him if he lost only one goal in the first round, is he confident to reverse at home.
Ask him if he's ever seriously studied tape of Atletico Madrid's 4-0 home win over his old club for inspiration.
Ask him how to mark Gao Zheng.
Ask him how to solve Atletico Madrid's onslaught after the opening. After all, Bayern Munich and Barcelona both conceded the ball shortly after the start of the game, which led to a passive...
This made the audience who watched the post-match press conference even have an illusion-is this the post-match press conference of Bayern Munich against Borussia Mönchengladbach, or the second round of the Champions League semi-final between Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid? The pre-match press conference?
