Star Coach

Chapter 378 Atletico Madrid Station

The league loss came as expected, like a wake-up call, hitting every player on the head.

As the top team, the away challenge to the newly promoted Almeria should have been a three-pointer, but it was a wrong one.

In a sleepy away game, Atletico Madrid actually gave the second-place team three precious points on the road to relegation. It was a great act of robbing the rich to help the poor, and a great internationalist spirit.

Jiangshan did not make any adjustments and continued to let the players reflect. He didn't care about the standings, which would only be useful at the last moment. The league and the UEFA Cup were in full swing. The UEFA Cup group stage was better. Atletico Madrid had already reached the top of the group and was waiting to enter the top 32. There was not much pressure, and Jiangshan rotated a lot.

As for the league, they lost one game, but they didn't lose the top spot. Then, Atletico Madrid faced Valladolid at home, another newly promoted team.

This game should also be a three-pointer, but the team lost points again. No loss, a draw at home.

In two consecutive league games, the team only got 1 point. The fans were dissatisfied and even booed the players. The media also began to add insult to injury.

They have been waiting for a long time. Jiangshan's team has little fluctuation. It is difficult for them to find an opportunity to add insult to injury. Now the opportunity has come. Only 1 point in two rounds of league games. It's okay to get 1 point. Look at who they are playing against?

Almeria and Valladolid, teams that 90% of fans can't name, have scored points against Atletico Madrid in a row.

Facing the overwhelming criticism from the media, the players are under great pressure. They can't understand why they were still praising them in the first two weeks, but now they are trampling like dog shit?

"Are all the media hypocrites? They only praise the high and trample the low. I am so angry."

"Is my performance so bad? Why do the media keep criticizing me?" Sanchez and Aguero have similar ideas. They are still young and can't understand why the media keeps criticizing them.

The performance is not bad! Even Torres can't stand the noise of the media.

A weird atmosphere permeates the team.

Jiang Shan called the players together and threw a pile of media reports on the table, "Have you read them all?"

"Two weeks ago, the media praised you all, but now? It's nothing but criticism."

Jiang Shan casually took out a newspaper, "Garcia, dirty moves. Torres, no leadership ability, unworthy of being the captain. Sanchez, only knows how to dribble the ball."

"And the back line, I don't know what to say." Jiang Shan sneered. He kept staring at the players, they were very quiet and didn't dare to speak.

"I told you a long time ago that our strength is not bad, we can play well against strong teams, I believe in your strength. But we don't have enough dominance against mid- and lower-level teams."

"Look at everyone's performance. I didn't make any tactical adjustments in these two games, so you can't play football? Is this the temperament of a championship team?"

Pochettino sat aside, not daring to speak, he was quietly learning Jiang Shan's art of controlling people. All players, as long as they have a little reputation, will feel that they are very powerful, and even don't take the coach seriously at all.

Especially for young coaches, it is very difficult to conquer players.

Jiangshan must knock on this group of players. Although he will not stay in Atletico for too long, it will not be done in a day or two to create a third-pole giant in La Liga. More importantly, he wants to use a giant team to elevate his historical status.

In Monaco, he created the first Champions League champion in Ligue 1 and made Monaco reborn. As long as he follows his path, Monaco will definitely not go bankrupt and can become a European youth training base...

In Hertha Berlin, the capital team won the league championship and won the small three crowns, which is a rare miracle in the Bundesliga. Hertha Berlin has laid the foundation for the giants. As long as the latecomers do not toss, the status of the giants will not be lost. Even Hoffenheim in the lower league, Jiangshan also brought them the only championship, the German Cup championship. No matter how many years, his achievements will be recorded in the history of the team.

AC Milan, needless to say, they are already a top giant. Jiangshan added two pearls to the crown, and led Milan to clear the influence of the phone gate. No matter how many years, Milan fans will stick to him.

Now in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona both want to invite him, but he chose Atletico. In addition to the factors of money and power, the more important thing is to prepare for building a giant.

Make Atletico the third pole of La Liga. Relying on this group of players, Atletico will be a strong contender for the La Liga championship in the next ten years or so. No matter who coaches Atletico in the future, it is the achievements made on Jiangshan's shoulders.

This is the great pioneer. Jiangshan uses Atletico's experience and plans to buy a team in the Premier League and build the team into a giant. His historical status may be directly promoted to the greatest coach.

Moreover, Jiangshan wants to win the championship of all five major leagues. La Liga is Atletico. At this stop, he can only succeed and cannot fail.

The players listened quietly to Jiangshan's speech. Jiangshan's tone was not heavy, even quite gentle. After listening, the players felt like thunder in their ears, and their whole spirit was shocked.

"I was too arrogant... It's normal for the team to fail."

"The team hasn't reached the top level yet, but we consider ourselves top players. It's shameful..."

"My leadership ability is not good enough, really not enough." Torres lowered his head, "Maybe I should communicate more with my teammates on the court."

Garcia gritted his teeth, "I still have some shortcomings, I must be stronger."

"I can be a leader, I want to be the leader of Atletico. Next season, Jiangshan will choose a new captain, I want to do it well from now on. Let everyone see my strength, I am stronger than Ballack." Khedira clenched his fists and sweated all over.

Jiangshan also interviewed the players one by one, pointed out everyone's problems, and told them what to do next, and quickly adjusted their status.

The atmosphere of the team suddenly improved, and the haze was swept away.

The training ground began to recover laughter, and the players' training attitude became more correct. Many players also took the initiative to practice more.

Reus is also smart. Although he rarely plays, Jiangshan pays attention to every bit of his progress. He began to practice the combination of man and ball, as well as shooting ability.

He wanted to prove himself. Jiangshan told him that as long as his progress meets Jiangshan's expectations, he will continue to take him in the future, win countless championships, and even make him the winner of the Golden Ball.

How many German players have won the Golden Ball? How many years have there been no Golden Ball winners?

On December 3, the 14th round of the league, Atletico Madrid faced Real Betis away and finally started the slaughter mode. Real Betis is now second to last in the standings and is in poor condition. They still want Atletico Madrid to continue to send warmth.

But Atletico Madrid did not continue the previous "good guy" style, and sent five layers of ice, winning 5:0 away from Real Betis.

The media changed direction again, advocating Atletico Madrid Lions to wake up. Jiangshan laughed and threw the report into the trash can.
