Chapter 425 Undefeated in the Season?

The timing of the international break has calmed down the busy Espino training base.

The addition of young players has kept the squad still in training, but it is not as intense as it was when the first team was together.

Gao Bo also took this opportunity to let the players adjust a little and prepare for the next game.

During this time, Gao Bo was also reflecting on the end of the game against Real Madrid at home in the 29th round of the league.

When Gao Bo summed it up after the game, he actually admitted that his players were a bit lucky to win.

Real Madrid's tactics were clearly successful, scoring at the start of both halves, while their airtight defence made it difficult for Atletico Madrid to score.

And the turning point of the game was Modric's long-range shot, if it wasn't for this long-range shot that opened the situation, and then Atletico Madrid immediately took advantage of the mentality of the Real Madrid players to chase after the victory, and soon scored the second goal, I am afraid that Atletico Madrid would really lose at home in this game.

Even the final lore is actually an element of luck!

After the game, Gao Bo couldn't help but be afraid.

Jose Mourinho is an opponent that should never be underestimated!

And now, the team's most important game, of course, is to move to the final of the Copa del Rey.

The final is scheduled for April 21, and Atletico Madrid will have three league games to play before that.

However, the opponents in these three league rounds are not worth Gao Bo's sleep, and he is now already preparing for the final of the Copa del Rey.

If you want to beat Real Madrid, the first question is...... How to break the defense of Real Madrid!

Jose Mourinho's quick-counter-attacking system at Real Madrid has been on full display in a few years' time.

Real Madrid's players have a strong individual ability, so behind the counter-attack, Real Madrid's counter-attack success rate is very high.

Just look at the two goals that Atletico Madrid conceded in their last game.

Real Madrid's players are too good in one-on-one ability, and Ronaldo's scoring ability has improved their counter-attack success rate a lot.

In Gao Bo's view, if you want Real Madrid to be unable to fight back, the first thing is, of course, to make them unable to prevent it!

At least there must be a goal before Real Madrid's counter-attacking tactics don't work....... If Atletico Madrid scores early in the final, Atletico Madrid can also come back to defend and counterattack.

Atletico Madrid's tactics are based on the tactical cornerstone of a high-wave formation combined with fast short passes, and whether it is pressing down on the attack or recycling the defence, Atletico Madrid's players can do well - only with minor tactical adjustments.

If Real Madrid had scored first, even Gao Bo would not have been able to win again with the certainty of victory.

........

The national team's day of competition ended soon and the players returned to their training base one after another.

This time for the international break, Atletico Madrid did not have many injuries, only Raul Garcia had some muscle injuries.

Gao Bo was most concerned about whether Raul Garcia could make it to the Copa del Rey final on April 21, and the medical team replied that Raul Garcia's injury would only heal in a week, and he could make it to the final.

Gao Bo was relieved, as for the league, even if Atletico Madrid rotated a few players, there was no need to worry about what big mistakes the team would make.

According to the league schedule, on April 4, the team will face Osasuna away.

But now there are some problems with this game time.

A turmoil is brewing in Spanish football due to the "unpaid wages" scandal.

The Spanish players' union is linking up with a number of La Liga teams to prepare for a massive strike to boycott the 30th round of La Liga in the 10-11 season, which will be held on April 4.

At the root of the incident was the "unpaid wages", which was brought to court in December 2010 by the Spanish Players' Union (LEP) because more than half of the players in 19 clubs in La Liga and La B were owed wages, and the professional league said at a trial in December that it could solve the problem by activating the Players' Wage Protection Fund three months later, when the Spanish Supreme Court ruled "to see what happened".

Now, three months later, however, the problem of unpaid wages has not been resolved. In the case of Betis, the total salary arrears of the La Liga club are as high as 10 million euros. Eight years ago, professional leagues partnered with sports charities and insurance companies to set up a Player Wage Protection Fund to help teams in times of operational distress. The reason why the protection fund has not been effective so far is not that the measure is ineffective, but that it is difficult to operate. Dozens of teams in arrears have a total of more than 200 million in arrears, and the guarantee fund is also a drop in the bucket.

So the players' union is preparing a strike, and the players' union is contacting a number of La Liga teams to plan a strike before the 30th round of La Liga on April 3. However, this move did not have the support of all teams, although some teams did not express their views, so the possibility of a strike remains.

So whether the thirtieth round of the league can be held as scheduled, I'm afraid we have to wait to know.

Despite this, Atletico Madrid has also followed the original schedule for training.

After all, it is not known whether there will be a strike, so it is better to be prepared.

And a few days before the game, the professional leagues and the union finally reached an agreement.

The professional leagues have set up a fund to protect the salaries of the players, and the thirtieth round of the league will continue as usual.

A big club like Atletico Madrid naturally has no problem with salary arrears, but it is also true that small teams in La Liga are struggling to survive.

However, Gao Bo can only say that he can't help this. It's a matter of domestic football in Spain, and for Gobo, all he has to do is lead Atletico Madrid to better results.

On April 4, the team took on Osasuna away from home.

Although this game is an away game, Atletico Madrid is basically the main player, except for Koke to replace Raul Garcia, who is absent due to injury.

And in this game, Koke, who finally started the game, performed very well, he assisted Aguero to score in the 28th minute of the game, and then scored through a long-range shot in the 43rd minute of the game!

The young youngster showed a lot of talent on the field.

And with these two goals, Atletico Madrid won 2-0 away against Osasuna.

After this game, a new problem arose.

Atletico Madrid's league title now looks like a big problem, but what if it's an unbeaten league title?

Now 30 rounds of the league have passed, and Atletico Madrid has won 30 games, won 27 and drew 3, with zero losses!

So far, Atletico Madrid haven't lost!

A lot of media started hyping up the concept - some media thought that Atletico Madrid had a chance to win the league title unbeaten in the season!

With eight rounds left in the league, this unbeaten record can also be taken out to talk about.

Judging from Atletico Madrid's current form and their opponents in the next eight league rounds, Atletico Madrid is really hopeful of completing the goal of being unbeaten in the season!
