Chapter 68 When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent

After this round of the league, many Spanish media began to announce that the La Liga championship this season has basically lost its suspense.

“…… Six points in four rounds? For Atletico, who have been in great form this season, it is almost an easy task. In particular, Atletico's next opponents are Valencia, Levante, and Malaga, who have no desire. Although Barcelona will have a chance to face Atletico Madrid at home in the final round, perhaps Atletico Madrid will win the title two rounds earlier by the 36th round at the latest! ”

“…… Atletico have been a surprise this season, especially on their home turf. Simeone has built a team full of determination, strength and courage! And this season Barcelona and Real Madrid did not perform well in the league, which also gave Atletico a chance! ”

“…… Especially in the second half of the season, after the addition of Li Qingshan, a strong reinforcement, Atletico Madrid's championship puzzle is complete. The Chinese bought by Atletico Madrid from Manchester United was the biggest contributor to supporting Atletico Madrid during the most difficult time in the second half of the league. The transfer fee of eight million euros now looks like a no-brainer. I wonder if United's troubled David Moyes will regret selling such a good centre-forward to Atletico Madrid? ”

Now Li Qingshan basically doesn't have to look at the dictionary to read these newspapers, so his reading speed has also become faster. If it weren't for the mention of David Moyes in the newspapers, he really hadn't paid attention to the situation at Manchester United for a long time.

It's just that he's a Atletico player now, and he's thinking about La Liga titles....... as well as Champions League titles.

"Do you think Atletico will win La Liga?" Tian Shaohua asked.

As Li Qingshan's Spanish teacher, Li Qingshan and Tian Shaohua actually don't have any common language, but because of the factor of going to class, they always have to find a topic to talk about. So Tian Shaohua collects some football stuff every day, and the two people who are not very good at finding topics can only talk like this.......

"Of course, it will be in the next round at the earliest, and if Barcelona and Real Madrid lose in the next round and we win, the title will be ours!" Li Qingshan replied.

"And what about the Champions League winners?" Now that Tian Shaohua has finally gotten rid of the pseudo-fan stage, at least some football terms will not be wrong.

Li Qingshan pondered for a while. If you ask him if he wants to win the Champions League, then he must not hesitate to say it. Because this is almost the most important title he can win - unless the Chinese team can win the World Cup......

But he still feels a little unreal when he thinks about this half season - his team is about to win the La Liga title and the Champions League has reached the semi-finals, all of which of course makes him very excited, but in his heart, he always has a feeling that he is "lying down to win". Before he arrived, Atletico's system was almost already in place, and he was at most a complementary piece of the puzzle to Atletico's system. Therefore, if Atletico Madrid finally wins the Champions League this season, I don't know how much credit he can make........

Thankfully, he scored four goals in the quarter-finals to knock out Barcelona, which made him feel his contribution. The next most important thing now is to eliminate Chelsea! And he, Li Qingshan, must go all out in the game against Chelsea like against Barcelona!

'Chelsea are strong and we're not weak! I'll knock them out with a goal! ”

'Chelsea are strong?'

"Yes, very strong!"

"Are they better than Barcelona?"

"Well, you can't compare them like that....because their style is different!"

'What is Chelsea's style?'

"Mourinho's style!"

"Who is Jose Mourinho?"

"You don't even know Mourinho?"

Pseudo fan Tian Shaohua once again exposed..........

…………

On 23 April, the two Champions League semi-finals will be played at the same time.

Atletico Madrid, home and away, will now host Chelsea on their home turf.

Jose Mourinho is clearly taking the Champions League very seriously. His team arrived in Madrid early on April 20 and settled at Real Madrid's new training ground on the outskirts of Madrid. The 120-hectare training ground, Real Madrid's new training ground, is 10 times larger than the original one and has the most advanced training facilities in the world. As Atletico's opponents, Real Madrid are of course more than happy to lend their training base to Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho has moved his Chelsea players into a place he knows all too well. When he entered the door, he looked at the Real Madrid emblem in front of the door and was stunned for a while. He spent three years at Real Madrid, during which time Mourinho won three trophies and set a single-season goal and points record in La Liga.

Mourinho in Real Madrid is still the madman of "God is the boss and I am the second". The shuffling of the card, the incident, the fight with the referee, the five-man red-dyed game scene, and the conflict with the stars of the team. Let Mourinho be on the media page all the time.

Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid has taken shape, and during his three years at Real Madrid, he built a team that could always reach the top of Europe, but just as he was about to reap the rewards, he stepped out of his position as Real Madrid manager.

Jose Mourinho's coaching style is familiar to everyone, whether it's Porto, Chelsea, Inter or Real Madrid, the defense is the foundation of his team, and the counter-attack is his home to the game. In order to win, he even did whatever it took to win, causing huge controversy, but this did not prevent him from winning two Champions League titles in his own way.

Atletico Madrid's style of football is largely similar to Jose Mourinho's philosophy, while Simeone is nicknamed "the Mourinho who plays well".

In a way, Simeone and Mourinho are two very similar people. They all look for victory like pit bulls!

Simeone was an aggressive midfielder in his playing days, and he could even do anything to win. In the 1998 World Cup, his plot against David Beckham was enough to prove it........

Jose Mourinho and Simeone's coaching years are very similar, and they are both very utilitarian suitors of game victories. Under the influence of this over the years, Chelsea and Atletico seem to have been carved out of the same mold. Both teams attach great importance to defense, both attach great importance to scrambling, both have the spirit of never giving up until the last moment, and the style of play is mainly defensive counterattack.

Therefore, the duel between these two teams is a chess opponent and a good talent. Maybe the two teams won't play too pretty. But with Mourinho and Simeone, there will be no shortage of passion in this game.

The time was fast in coming, and as the players from both sides streamed out of the tunnel at the Calderón Stadium, the cameras were focused on the managers of both sides.

Jose Mourinho and Simeone!

Simeone, dressed in a black suit, black tie and mafia-style big back, walked out of the aisle, while on the other side, Mourinho, who was wearing a trench coat and full of silver hair, also walked out, although his eyes were much softer now than they were a few years ago, but still sharp.

The two shook hands, then parted ways and sat down in their respective coaches' seats.

And the players are already on the field.

The collision of two teams with similar styles is expected. [.]
