Star Coach

It is December, and the winter break is coming.

The competition tasks are still not reduced. The King's Cup is not bad. La Liga teams will not participate until next year. The previous ones are all chickens fighting each other. After La Liga teams join, there will be real fighting.

The UEFA Cup has locked the first place in the group stage. Jiangshan put the team into rotation mode early, constantly training new players, waiting for the upcoming 32 teams.

The third team in the Champions League group stage will enter the UEFA Cup and become a competitor for the UEFA Cup championship. Starting next season, the UEFA Cup will be changed to the Europa League, with various reorganizations.

Later, the Europa League champion will have a direct train to the Champions League. At that time, the Europa League championship will become the object of competition for many teams.

In the league, Atletico Madrid players adjusted their mentality, and the team's running-in finally got on track. Facing Getafe, the third place in the league, the team was not nervous at all.

Fighting at home, firmly controlled the situation of the game. Torres began to know how to call his teammates to run. He cooperated more and more tacitly with Khedira and Garcia, and goals came naturally.

Atletico Madrid won three goals in a row at home, and Getafe returned home with regret.

Barcelona has been in a bad state recently. After losing to Atletico Madrid, they have suffered three consecutive defeats. Their league ranking has fallen to fifth place, a crazy ranking.

Rijkaard cannot stop the team's downward trend, and his position is in jeopardy. The team is looking for a new coach, and Guardiola keeps recommending himself to the top management.

"Only I can stop Jiangshan's hegemony. I hope to be the head coach of Barcelona." Guardiola is full of confidence.

He believes that as Jiangshan's first assistant, he has learned a lot of skills and will definitely be able to control Barcelona, ​​a giant, and also make Barcelona into an unsinkable aircraft carrier.

Barcelona's top management has been slow to make a decision, and they plan to give Rijkaard another chance. The team has been tossed enough before, and Ancelotti has been replaced, but it can't get up. It's better to be more at ease with a second coach.

The league continued, and Atletico Madrid won again at the home stadium of Recreativo Villa, with a narrow 2:1 victory, allowing them to once again top the standings and surpass Real Madrid.

Real Madrid lost their first game this season to Atletico Madrid, and then they ran wildly without losing, always ranking in the top three of the league. But this week, they lost another game in the league, to Osasuna, and the top spot they finally took was taken away by their city rivals.

However, Schuster's position as coach is still stable, and the team successfully qualified in the Champions League group stage and reached the round of 16. Real Madrid President Calderon still has confidence in Schuster and will tolerate his mistakes.

The moment of La Liga championship has just begun.

Before the winter break, the teams that qualified for the UEFA Cup were determined, and the teams that were eliminated in the Champions League group stage were also determined. Bayern actually entered the UEFA Cup, which surprised Jiangshan.

"Isn't it out of the norm? Bayern didn't go to grab the Champions League, but came to grab the UEFA Cup. Are they trying to make things difficult for me?"

Jiangshan attended the draw ceremony. He has no control over the draw for the Champions League round of 16, and he doesn't care. He is optimistic about Manchester United, which won the Champions League this year. In the last life, Manchester United was the champion.

Under Ferguson's dispatch, Manchester United's strength has reached its peak, and it's time to produce results. If it weren't for Jiangshan in the previous two years, Ferguson might even have won the Champions League three times in a row.

Unfortunately, Jiangshan won two consecutive Champions League titles, and Manchester United didn't win a single title.

"If we win the League Cup, maybe we can meet you in the European Super Cup." Jiangshan chatted with Ferguson with a smile, "But this season, Chelsea is very strong. If you want to beat them, you need some luck."

"I know that we are strong and are not afraid of any team. I just regret that I can't compete with you again in the Champions League. I don't value the European Super Cup. It's just a warm-up match and it's useless." Ferguson touched his nose and said insincerely.

"We are not as strong as you. You are definitely better than us this year." Jiang Shan was telling the truth. "But Bayern disappointed me. We ended up in the UEFA Cup. Haha..."

At the draw ceremony for the UEFA Cup top 32, Jiang Shan went on stage to draw lots.

His luck was average. He drew a Premier League team.

Standard Premier League style, Bolton.

Bolton has been very strong in recent years and has been hovering in the upper middle of the Premier League. Last season, they played very well, entered the top six, won the UEFA Cup qualification, and successfully qualified from the group stage.

"Bolton has a fierce style and is the nemesis of technical teams like Arsenal." Ferguson reminded Jiang Shan, "La Liga teams like to control the ball, but they have to be careful when facing teams with strong physical confrontation."

Jiang Shan squinted and nodded. He had an impression of Bolton. To be honest, Jiang Shan had studied every team that qualified. Bolton was one of the opponents he didn't want to meet.

He would rather face Bayern than Bolton. The technical aspect is one aspect, and Jiangshan is mainly worried about the players getting injured. "These two rounds are not easy to play at all."

Before the winter break, Atletico Madrid still has a league game to play.

Jiangshan is well prepared for the home game against Espanyol. The team needs 3 points to consolidate its top position. In the second half of the season, they will sprint in the League Cup and the King's Cup, and they also need room for mistakes in the league.

Jiangshan has arranged the strongest lineup and attacked fiercely at the beginning.

The Spaniards did not expect Jiangshan's team to be so domineering, and the unreasonable attack made them unbearable.

Less than 10 minutes after the start, Sanchez made a cross, Torres headed the ball, hit the crossbar hard, and the ball hit the crossbar and went into the net.

The Spanish team's Cameroonian goalkeeper Kameni had no time to react and had to pick the ball out of the net.

"Is Atletico Madrid crazy? The draw for the UEFA Cup is not bad. Did they treat us as Bolton?" Kameni shook his head and had a bad feeling in his heart, "I will be very busy in this game."

The Spanish head coach Valverde looked ugly, "Jiangshan wanted to swallow us in one bite, and let them score first. I will be sad today."

This season, the Spanish team retained three key players, De La Pena, Luis Garcia and Tamudo, and also introduced strong players like Soldado. Originally, they wanted to compete for a UEFA Cup seat. Now they are ranked sixth in the league and do have the ability to compete for a European Cup seat.

But Atletico Madrid slapped them hard at the beginning. You guys should stay in the league well!

Atletico Madrid's attack continued. After Torres scored, he began to learn to thread the needle, but the effect was average. Before the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid scored again. Central defender Mertesacker headed in a header to expand the score again.

In the second half, Reus, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal. The young and handsome guy began to shine in the Calderon Stadium.
