Chapter 375: Winter Break

"Atletico Madrid is playing in the negative!" Catalan journalists in the media gallery lashed out.

At this point, they don't act like a media worker who makes big news, but more like crazy fans.

The reporters next to him also chimed in.

"If you play like that, the spirit of fair play will be lost!"

"It's so shameless!"

"I've heard he was known for his utilitarian head coach when he was in England!!"

"A manager like this is a taint on football!"

A group of Catalan journalists were indignant, as if what Atletico Madrid had done at this moment was an insult to the sport of football, the most shameful scene on the football field.

Journalists from the Madrid area were going to laugh when they heard it.

"Isn't that what you Barcelona do in the past... You can only use it, but others can't? ”

A Madrid-based journalist quipped.

"You know what! Barcelona's passing can't be called delaying time, can passing football be delaying time? The Catalan journalist who spoke first blushed and argued. Then there were the difficult words, such as "tike-taka" and "gorgeous", which caused the reporters in Madrid to laugh, and the air of joy filled the inside and outside of the store.

The boos in the stands grew sharper.

Barcelona really can't help Atletico Madrid's back and forth, and the irritability of falling behind the score is troubled!

Sergio Busquets rushed up and made a flying tackle directly from behind, knocking Antoine Griezmann, who had the ball in front, to the ground.

Griezmann couldn't get up at that time.

Such a dangerous move naturally caused strong dissatisfaction among the Atletico Madrid players.

They all went up and surrounded the foul Busquez.

Barcelona's players naturally didn't let their teammates suffer and rushed up.

So the players on both sides fought together on the pitch.

The referee's shrill whistle sounded again and again, signaling the players on both sides to calm down.

But Gao Bo can't manage so much, he is still fanning the flames on the sidelines.

"Red card!! This is definitely a red card!! What else is there to say about this, give the cards!! Red!! I remember the one in red!!!!! "Gao Bo is jumping on the sidelines!

The fourth officer glared at him, but did not come out to stop him.

Obviously, Busquez's move was a red card.

The team doctor and stretcher also ran onto the pitch.

Because Griezmann is probably also injured by Busquez's tackle, he is still holding his ankle and not getting up.

The referee showed Busquez a red card and sent the Barcelona midfielder off for a behind-the-back tackle.

However, Atletico Madrid also has losses.

Griezmann may not be able to hold on to this game, but fortunately, there is a two-week winter break ahead, which minimizes the impact of Griezmann's injury.

In addition to this, the referee continued to deal cards.

Diego Costa and Thiago Cardoso received yellow cards.

On Barcelona's side, Puyol also received a yellow card.

They were the most excited players after the clash, with the referee playing fifty boards each.

Of course, both sides were unhappy with the referee's decision.

Gao Bo and Pep Guardiola questioned the referee's decision on the sidelines at the same time, and the two also glanced at each other when they turned to go back.

The hostility is obvious!

Fortunately, there is not much time left for the game.

Atletico Madrid dropped back in the final minute and withstood Barcelona's onslaught in the final minutes.

Stoppage time was four minutes.

When the game was almost 95 minutes, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game!

Atletico Madrid's players immediately raised their arms and celebrated passionately at the Camp Nou.

After the game, Gao Bo did not shake hands with Guardiola, and Guardiola did not come to Gao Bo.

At Camp Nou, the cheers of the Atletico Madrid players sounded so harsh to the Barcelona players.

They left the pitch in a hurry, and soon only Atletico Madrid players were left on the pitch.

.....

At the press conference, the Catalan media seized on the delay in the final period of Atletico Madrid to ask Gao Bo a round of questions.

Gao Bo smiled at the corners of his mouth, and then he leaned back in his seat for a moment.

It was only after the press conference room was quiet that Gao Bo sat up straight again.

"Needless to say, our last-minute passes were meant to get the game past us!"

There was a commotion in the stadium.

"Because... We are qualified to do so!! If Barcelona are good, they can get the ball back. ”

Gao Bo pursed his lips and spread his hands and said.

"I would say that Barcelona were lucky in this game, if it wasn't for that unwarranted penalty, Barcelona would have lost even worse at home!"

In the eyes of Catalan journalists, Gao Bo is now completely ashamed!

Now how Barcelona people look at Gao Bo is not pleasing to the eye.

"This is Barcelona and you're playing against a team that has won all the titles in those two seasons!"

A Catalan journalist with fire-breathing eyes stood up and said angrily.

"Please be respectful!"

"I don't think Barcelona won the title on the basis of respect, you can ask Mr Guardiola about that! You ask him, did Barcelona's championship rely on the "respect" of others? ”

Gao Bo spread his hands.

Journalists from other regions laughed.

On the football field, strength is respected!

Gao Bo looked around, and the Catalan reporters, who made up the majority of the numbers, seemed to have nothing to ask.

So he got up, turned and left the press room.

.......

Inside the dressing room, the Atletico Madrid players were still celebrating.

Now they remembered the performance at the end of the first half, and their faces were full of shame and embarrassment.

Beating Barcelona at Camp Nou isn't a big deal!

Looking at the elated players, Gao Bo was also in a good mood.

The Copa del Rey has passed the Barcelona hurdle, and among the next opponents, the strongest is Real Madrid!

As long as the draw for the next round is a little luckier, the Copa del Rey will also reach the last four.

After the semi-finals, there was absolutely no talk of giving up the Copa del Rey.

A cup to reach the semi-finals, even if it is difficult, is a matter of gritting teeth!

......

The next day's media was full of reports about the game.

On the side of Madrid, there are naturally a lot of praise for Atletico Madrid.

In Catalonia, it's a different story.

However, this has no impact on Atletico Madrid, no matter what is said in the media now.

Because after returning to Atletico Madrid, Gao Bo announced that the team was on vacation.

La Liga has officially entered a period of adjustment that is not too long.

In fact, such an adjustment is very necessary for the team, and the players' physical condition has reached a critical point after more than three months of busyness.

Without a winter break to make adjustments, it may be difficult for teams to maintain a full squad for the next league next season.

The winter break is also a guarantee for the excitement of next season's games, and of course, the most important thing is that the winter break is a very humane policy, which is responsible for the health of the players.
