Chapter XXXVII: Ramos's Views

With the next round of fixtures against Real Madrid still a week away, Simeone can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although some www.biquge.info players have been transferred to their respective national teams, Atletico Madrid's personnel are still barely neat, and the overall framework is still there. The international break didn't have much of an impact on Atletico Madrid. On the contrary, it is their opponent in the next round, and Real Madrid should be more worried about the impact of the FIFA virus.

Simeone didn't have any confrontational training scheduled this week, mainly focusing on restoring the fitness of the players. The team's vitality was basically exhausted after a week of double matches in the last period, but fortunately with this not too long off-season, otherwise, Simeone is really not sure that he can still bite Real Madrid and Barcelona in the standings with such a tight schedule.

Unlike cup competitions, the league is like a long marathon, and the person who leads at the beginning does not necessarily win the championship. The final champion must be the one with plenty of stamina. If it is more than the thickness of the team, then no team in the entire La Liga can barely keep up with Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is why Real Madrid and Barcelona have been able to dominate La Liga for so long.

This season is the best time for Atletico Madrid to win the title. After three years of polishing, Simeone's team has a very mature overall style of play and a relatively complete personnel structure. On top of that, after this season, as Atletico Madrid's results rise, the players in their squad will surely be tempted to leave by some big teams. Such an example has been repeated within Atletico Madrid. Torres, Aguero, Falcao......... Maybe the next one is Diego Costa, and even Li Qingshan, who has just signed in the winter window, is estimated to be difficult to complete his contract at Atletico Madrid according to his goal efficiency in La Liga.

Simeone, a professional footballer himself, understands what the players think. After all, they are professional footballers, football is their profession, it is their job.

For example, if you receive a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan in one company, and another company uses a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan to poach corners, will you be tempted?

It's human nature.

is like Li Qingshan, his annual salary at Atletico Madrid is 3 million euros, which is a good salary in Atletico Madrid, but in terms of the entire European football world, it is just a very ordinary salary. If a bigger team comes up with a price several times higher than this annual salary, won't Li Qingshan be moved?

Atletico Madrid, despite being among the best in Europe in terms of athletic strength, is lackluster when it comes to their ability to make money. In general, this is a team that is not too wealthy, and there is no way to give players too high salaries.

Because of this, Simeone's current idea is to take advantage of the current group of players to be neat and tactically mature, and seize the opportunity of this season as much as possible to impact the league title, if this season passes, Atletico Madrid's cycle to win the next La Liga title may be a long time.

The key to winning La Liga is to go head-to-head with Real Madrid and Barcelona, and if you can't beat these two teams head-on, it will be difficult to win La Liga.

Atletico Madrid met Real Madrid in the first round of the season, beating them 1-0 at the Bernabeu, and as a result, they have held Real Madrid at the top of the league table for more than half a season. However, because of a series of mistakes in February, their points advantage was re-caught up and even overtaken by Real Madrid.

Simeone has always been a confident person, and in an interview, he said confidently: "We beat Real Madrid in the first round away. Back at our home turf, in Calderón, we will put Real Madrid under a lot of pressure and eventually beat them to regain the top spot in the table! ”

This is Simeone's style, simple and straightforward.

It's just that Real Madrid people don't like what he says.

As the vice-captain of Real Madrid, Ramos publicly responded to Simeone's words when he participated in a TV show.

'I think in the two rounds of the Copa del Rey, Atletico should know that we have the quality to beat them. It's the same this time, we're going to get the three points. ”

Since it comes to this game, Li Qingshan is naturally a topic that cannot be avoided.

Now that the winter window is nearing its end, there are not many teams in La Liga that have made big moves. This is also quite normal, because as long as Real Madrid and Barcelona do not bring in reinforcements in the winter window, and other La Liga teams generally cannot afford too expensive players.

In this way, Li Qingshan can basically lock in the title of "the best winter reinforcement in La Liga this season".

And he has played 15 games for Atletico Madrid in the past two months in La Liga, and has scored 16 goals, at least in the past two months, Li Qingshan's goals are the most in the same period in La Liga, and even Ronaldo and Messi have not scored as much as him in these two months - since Li Qingshan's transfer to Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo has scored nine goals in 15 games, and Messi has scored 15 goals in 14 games.

Such a crazy performance also made Li Qingshan the focus of discussion in Spanish football in the past two months.

Ramos was asked about Li Qingshan on this TV show.

"Speaking of Atletico Madrid, I have to mention the striker Li Qingshan, who has been quite crazy in the past two months, his current goal efficiency once surpassed Messi and Ronaldo, and no one has been able to steal the limelight from these two superstars for a long time, but Li Qingshan has done it. If nothing else, you're going to face this very strong centre-forward in the next round of the league, what do you think? The host asked with a smile.

Ramos cocked his legs, leaned back on the back of his chair and said: "Of course, he's a good centre-forward, he's strong, he's good at heading and he looks like he's going to score goals. But I don't think he can compare to Ronaldo, they are a different type of player. And I've found a way to deal with him, his characteristics are relatively simple, and I think he will be more restricted in the next dozen rounds of the league. ”

"That said, do you think his goal rate will drop?" The moderator asked.

Ramos hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, that's my opinion. ”

Before the host could say anything, he continued: "I'll prove it in the next round of the league. Of course, he also scored one of the two legs against us in the Copa del Rey. ”

This is also a normal thought. A lot of strikers can also go very well in the previous games when they first arrive in a league and score goals. But when each team understands his characteristics and makes targeted arrangements, the goal rate will also drop.

It's just that Li Qingshan's goal rate is crazy. Although he also seems to be a center forward with a single technical characteristic, relying on headers and occasionally a long shot or two, he can't stand up to scoring many goals!

In this way, many people dare not make conclusions, after all, there are too many incidents of slapping in the face, and Li Qingshan's recent performance is impeccable, especially the hat trick in the last round of the league, naturally not many people will discuss the question of when Li Qingshan's goal rate will decline.

Of course, this question must have been pondered by many people, but Ramos was the first to say it in public.

A week after the Madrid derby, the Real Madrid vice-president opened the shot.
