Update time:2013-04-11

Naturally, no one knew what happened that night, but after a day off, Dick began to be more serious on the sidelines of the training ground. He began to more carefully observe the state of the players during training.

And then verify it during the game - this kind of work is very important now, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious...

After playing the Madrid derby, Dick was obviously much more relaxed. After all, with the outstanding results during this period, even if there are any ups and downs in the future, it will not affect the team's morale.

The next midweek is the second leg of the second round of the UEFA Cup. In the first leg, Atletico Madrid swept their opponents 4-0 at home, which made the following game a mere formality. Dick naturally would not let this go.

A good opportunity for the main players to rest - he only flew 18 players to the away game, including three players who were transferred from the second team, so that all the main players stayed in Madrid to rest - to prepare for the next away challenge.

Mallorca match.

Dick needs to pay more attention to the game against Mallorca. In addition, the advantage in the UEFA Cup is too great. If they don't let the main players take a good rest, they will be sorry for the advantage they created in the first round!

So the full substitute lineup played in the away game for 90 minutes. This lineup was not bad. Cruz and Correa partnered up front, and Paunovic and Beibul led two young midfielders from the second team.

In the game, coupled with the experienced defense line, although Atletico Madrid finally lost in the away game, it was only 1 to 2. Cruz scored a key goal in the game, and Atletico Madrid ended with

With a total score of 5-2, they entered the third round of the UEFA Cup.

Of course, in the third round of the UEFA Cup, things were not so good - Atletico Madrid finally met a worthy opponent - Porto from Portugal!

The two games against Porto will be played on November 22nd and December 7th. Atletico Madrid will play at home first and then away. This is also a huge test for Atletico Madrid.

.

For Dick, it is even more of a huge test - the previous two rounds of the UEFA Cup were not considered a real test in the European arena. Now they are facing the top Portuguese team Porto, and they meet in the European arena. This is considered a test.

The real test is the premiere in Europe!

However, after the league restarted, Atletico Madrid's ups and downs began to be exposed again. Although the players had enough rest time in midweek, after two consecutive top performances, Atletico Madrid players were in trouble here.

The performance was relatively weak in the game.

Although Jader scored his seventh league goal of the season in the 68th minute, Atletico Madrid still failed to get even a draw in the away game. In the first half, Nigerian winger Finidi George and local forward Al

Bert Luke scored two goals in a row in the game. Jardel's goal only brought the score back to one. Then, even though Dick replaced Cruz and Torres in succession, Atletico Madrid still could not recover from the away loss.

Results for Mallorca.

After losing this round of the league, Atletico Madrid fell to the third place. Deportivo La Coruña won and surpassed Atletico Madrid by one point. Although Valencia tied with Rayo Vallecano 2-2 in this round,

But they still rank first in the standings with a one-point advantage. Behind them, Real Madrid, Mallorca and Alaves are also approaching Atletico Madrid. Their points are all 17 points, only two points away from Atletico Madrid.

difference.

Even Celta Vigo at the back has 16 points, and Barcelona and Villarreal also have 15 points. This season's La Liga is indeed showing a situation where all the heroes are coming together. If you lose a game, there may be a ranking.

Dramatic changes in the league - the league has only started ten rounds, and the top two teams, Valencia and Deportivo, have lost two league games. Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Mallorca, Alaves and other teams have also lost their games.

After losing three league games, the competition in La Liga is quite fierce now. It will definitely not be like the future where it will be a two-man showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona...

Regarding this result, Dick did not show too much disappointment. At the post-match press conference, he once again emphasized that Atletico Madrid is a newly formed team, and it is normal for the state to have ups and downs, but! It can beat Barcelona and ​​consecutively.

Real Madrid has proven that Atletico Madrid is a team capable of challenging for the league championship, as long as they can maintain a high level of performance.

And this is Dick's job responsibility.

In the next week, Atletico Madrid players were tired and lost the game. Naturally, there would be no vacation. Dick ordered Marriner to strengthen the tactical aspects of training and the number of training matches. Almost every day, Atletico Madrid players

I left the training ground as tired as a dead dog. When I got home, I wanted to fall asleep. Not to mention going to a nightclub, even if I wanted to make out with my girlfriend, I felt exhausted...

However, Dick is not the kind of head coach who only uses high pressure to deal with players. Magath is considered an iron fist, right? After coaching Bayern, he led the players to run every day, and then took the lead himself. Although the results were good, once the results were achieved,

The players revolted collectively and drove him away. Dick didn't want to suffer such an outcome - although he didn't intend to make all the players feel that he was a saint, at least he would not be punished for such an approach.

This led to a strong rebound from the players.

To put it bluntly, players are just working. There is no reason for you to ask them to do more extra things. Training is to ensure their condition, not to force the players to run with you just because you can run. They are not doing their job.

, you can punish him, but you can't force the other party to do extra things - Magath made this mistake.

The high-intensity training lasted for four days. Starting from Friday, Dick began to reduce the amount of exercise, allowing the players to take a good rest and restore their physical fitness to prepare for the next league. He increased the amount of training just to show an attitude, and that was not the case.

He wants to train all the players down one by one, which means he will do this only if there is no game in the middle of the week.

Sometimes some things also need to be compared. After the heavy exercise training in the first few days, the next two days of training made the players feel extremely relaxed, and when they stepped onto the court, they began to feel that they were playing a formal game.

It seems to be easier than training...

Real Sociedad, which ranks at the bottom, is unlucky - this team was originally considered a traditional team in Spain. Atletico Madrid lost to Mallorca in the last round, so the results since the start of the new season have not been very good.

Real Sociedad also wants to defeat Atletico Madrid at home to get a victory that can turn the situation of the entire season - after all, although Atletico Madrid has performed well this season, their ups and downs are still relatively large. At the same time, in order to prepare for midweek

In the UEFA Cup match, Atletico Madrid rotated a lot of their main players in this game. For example, the core midfielder Belleron did not play, and many main players in the defense were also absent.

But with such a semi-main lineup, Atletico Madrid played a beautiful game in the away game. The tacit cooperation of the two centers Jardel and Cruz made Atletico Madrid perform very well in the away game. Jardel and Cruz

Santiago scored two goals each in the game. Atletico Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 4-1. With Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna both suffering draws, Atletico Madrid once again climbed to the top of the standings with a one-point advantage.

!

Heading into the UEFA Cup with a victory and first place in the standings is undoubtedly very good news for Atletico Madrid.

After returning from the away game, Dick began to prepare for the game against Porto - in fact, when he was training the players hard last week, he was not idle in private and had already begun to collect information about Porto.

.

Dick will not relax about this team - that is the team that will miraculously win the Champions League in four years! This is also the only team in the four major leagues since Ajax won the championship in 1995.

A team other than the team that has won the Champions League! Such a team cannot be as relaxed as it was against teams from Slovenia and Austria.

But Dick also knows that the current Porto is not the Porto that won the Champions League four years later - their head coach is not the personality-rich Mourinho, but a local whom Dick has never heard of.

Coach Pedro Dorival, heroes such as Ferreira, Carvalho, Valente, Costinha, Maniche, McCarthy, Del Rey and other Champions League winners have not yet joined Porto, such as Valencia

Both Te and Del Rey currently play for Leiria, and their ability to join Porto has more to do with the fact that they played under Mourinho when they were in Leiria - Mourinho is also a very good player.

A head coach who likes to take old teams to new teams. When he came to Porto, he brought Valente and Del Rey. When he went to Chelsea in the future, he brought Carvalho and Ferreira, and he also went to Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

At that time, he did not take his old club with him - this is related to the tradition of Serie A and La Liga. They often buy people not through the head coach but through the transfer manager and technical director. Dick can obtain the transfer power at Atletico Madrid, which has a lot of potential.

The reason is that Atletico Madrid does not have a good technical director. Young Hill used to hold this position concurrently, but it was the old Hill who made the decision on the transfer - so when the old Hill gave Dick this power, the young Hill

Hill had nothing to say, after all, it was as if he had never sat in this position before.

In fact, it can be seen how chaotic Atletico Madrid's management is. Hill's rule over Atletico Madrid has never established an efficient and professional team, and he seems to have never thought of doing so.

This is also the reason why Hill spent a lot of money but his results were average. However, he was still much luckier than Moratti, because his Atletico Madrid won the league championship and he didn't spend as much money as Moratti.

exaggerate……

Although these people are not in Porto yet, their backbone still exists - goalkeeper Baia is the Portuguese national goalkeeper, defense core Jorge Costa is a veteran of Porto, and Russian midfielder Aranichev is

Their main midfielder, the Brazilian Deco, is now the core of Porto's midfield. The only thing that is not so good is their forward line, because the Brazilian center Jardel they have relied on in the past four years is now

Playing for rivals Atletico Madrid...

The departure of a powerful center like Jardel, who used to bring 20 to 30 goals every season, is an irreparable loss, whether it is the young winger Paulo Costa, who once performed well at Atletico Madrid

Even Argentinian center Juan Esnayder could not fill the vacancy after Jardel left. This Porto team is still quite strong in the midfield and backcourt, but what it lacks is its scoring ability.

It is precisely because of this lack that they were eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers and could only come to compete in the UEFA Cup...
