Chapter 527: Grab the headlines
80_80813 won 4-0 in Atletico Madrid, and the day after the surprise defeat to Barcelona away, major newspapers in Spain also published their own news and commentary.
The Catalan region's daily sports newspaper ran a sensational headline.
Barcelona suffered the most miserable humiliation in history before Christmas!
In this front-page headline report, the daily sports newspaper said that Atletico Madrid's excellent performance in this game, and the admirable command art of coach Simeone, deserved to win this game.
But at the same time, the Barcelona mouthpiece also pointed the finger directly at the referee.
"It's not just a shame for Barcelona, it's a shame for the Spanish refereeing community!"
"Michelle Perez's performance in this crucial battle for the top spot was a nightmare!"
'His near-biased care for Atletico Madrid fueled the Madrid team's brutal and brutal style of play, which stifled Barcelona's possession, especially in the first goal of Atletico Madrid, when he ignored Diego Costa's header to support the defender.
"It was a shameful, stupid misjudgment and the goal should have been disallowed!"
On this basis, the Daily Sports newspaper believes in the commentary that it is precisely because the first goal came too early and too suddenly, which directly disrupted the overall rhythm of Barcelona and made Barcelona completely in chaos.
"Barcelona's poor performance is closely related to the referee's enforcement."
"We don't want to pass the buck, but Michel Perez's weakness and incompetence have allowed Atletico Madrid to use foul tactics again and again when Barcelona's attack has improved slightly, directly interrupting the rhythm and progress of the game."
"It's a very aggressive, destructive football!"
"But it's a shame that both the referee and the linesman have turned a blind eye to the foul, and even when the Barcelona players protested again and again, he repeatedly said that he had no problem enforcing the law."
"It can be said that what happened to Barcelona is a shame, not only a shame for Barcelona, but also a shame for artistic football!"
"And after this game, the utilitarian and destructive football led by Simeone and Mourinho can finally be justified!"
"At least, this kind of football can beat the great Barcelona, can't it?"
Like Daily Sport, the newspaper is also close to Barcelona, and in its commentary, Le Monde Sport pointed the finger at referee Michel Perez.
"Throughout the game, it was clear to everyone how the referee dominated the game with a standard of enforcement that no one else could understand, and perhaps, for him, the only criterion was how to beat Barcelona!"
"The most unacceptable thing is that Michelle Perez turned a blind eye to Diego Costa's foul, especially the foul when the guide Zì Pique went off the field injured, it was simply a despicable crime!"
"It would be a shame for Spanish football to let a team like Atletico Madrid with a rough style and a despicable style rise to the top of the La Liga standings!"
However, in response to the reports of the Catalan media, newspapers from Madrid have responded one after another.
As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, although the newspaper had attacked Atletico Madrid with rough and destructive football a week ago, this time it took the initiative to say good things about Atletico Madrid.
"This high-profile battle for the top spot will undoubtedly end with a win for the team that is even better!"
"In the post-match press conference, Barcelona's number one star Messi said, 'We have no excuses, the better team wins, congratulations to them, this is football'!"
"Coach Vilanova also said that Atletico Madrid played better and deserved to win the game!"
In an interview with the media after the game, substitute Cesc Fabregas also admitted that when he came on the field, it was at the stage when Atletico Madrid launched the final onslaught, and Atletico Madrid attacked very fiercely at that time, which put a lot of pressure on Barcelona, and the Sheets played faster, more powerful and more efficient!
"From these remarks, we can all see that Barcelona is convinced by the victory of Atletico Madrid!"
"As for Atletico Madrid's frequent fouls, it can be seen as a game strategy, they have a more accurate grasp of the referee's enforcement standards, and it is said that Simeone even arranged an analysis team to study the referee's enforcement in the past few years."
"It's part of the professional league to enforce the referee's game, and Barcelona have done it in the past, but then they were the beneficiaries, and now, they are the victims!"
"We prefer to think that instead of blaming Atletico Madrid, it is better to blame Barcelona!"
"Why are Barcelona's players so lazy? Why is the combined running distance of Xavi and Iniesta so different from that of Gabi and Ilia Ramendi? You know, Ilya Ramendi has only played 65 minutes! ”
"Messi's running distance in the whole game was only 7,400 meters, do you know? Tevez, who also played the whole game, ran more than 13,000 meters in the whole game, nearly twice as long as Messi, and even Diego Costa, who played for 70 minutes, reached more than 11,000 meters! ”
"Atletico Madrid ran more than 10,000 meters in the whole game, except for the substitutes and goalkeeper Courtois, which is a lot higher than Barcelona!"
"All of this qiē shows that Vilanova's Barcelona is clearly far from Barcelona at Pep Guardiola's peak, and we can't help but wonder, is this still the same team?"
In contrast to Asca's blow to Barcelona to build momentum for the derby of the century a week later, Marca praised Atletico Madrid, believing it to be a great victory, with Simeone showing the way for all teams eager to beat Barcelona with an epic victory.
Even, Marca newspaper believes that it is not completely impossible to win the La Liga championship trophy again after a gap of more than ten years with the outstanding performance of Atletico Madrid!
"After this great victory, Atletico Madrid is at the top of the La Liga table with a three-point lead, and because Mourinho's Real Madrid drew 2-2 at home to Espanyol, Real Madrid is as many as 16 points behind their rivals at the top of the table!"
"It can be said that Mourinho's team is completely ineligible to compete for the title, especially when Jose Ramón revealed on the show two days ago that Real Madrid has negotiated Ancelotti, and it is only a matter of time before Mourinho is dismissed."
"Now, we're going to start talking about the title tie between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona!"
"So far this season, Atletico Madrid have gone hand in hand in the Europa League, La Liga and Copa del Rey, but for now, Simeone should probably think about whether he should make sure he wins the league!"
"After all, this is the closest Atletico Madrid has come to winning the championship in the past ten years!"
"With Atletico Madrid's excellent performance last night, we definitely have the qualifications to compete for the league title!"
"Although it is only three points ahead of Barcelona, next week, Barcelona will host Real Madrid, Mourinho is the manager, this game must be done with all his might!"
"If Barcelona continue to drop points in this round and allow Atletico Madrid to extend their lead further, then who's to say that the Bianconeri can't be the favourites to win La Liga this season?"
Not only the Spanish media, but also the media around the world have been hyping and paying attention to this key battle.
For Atletico Madrid's excellent performance, fans all over the world have given it a high evaluation, believing that the Sheets Legion won Barcelona and deserved it.
But as for whether Atletico Madrid can win the championship, the vast majority of fans still have conservative opinions.
After all, there are still more than 20 rounds left in La Liga, and it is too early to talk about winning the championship.
And since Rafael Benitez's Valencia won the title in the 0304 season, there has not been a third team other than Barcelona and Real Madrid to win La Liga.
Especially in recent years, the lead of Barcelona and Real Madrid has been staggering.
This also makes many people worry that Barcelona and Real Madrid have some problems now, but once they are resolved, it is still unknown whether they will complete the reversal.
It's like the 0405 season, didn't Rijkaard's dream second team also win the championship in half a season?
In addition to the team, Tevez's performance in the past two key battles has also been recognized by outside fans and media.
The outstanding performances of players such as Mandzukic and Diego Costa have also won recognition.
It can be said that through the past two key battles, Atletico Madrid has successfully made a name for itself!
At the very least, let fans all over the world notice that La Liga is not only Barcelona and Real Madrid, but also a passionate Atletico Madrid!
What is even more unexpected to the world is that when the two key matches are played, La Liga ushered in the last round of La Liga before Christmas in the derby of the century.
Jose Mourinho's side took on Barcelona away and the two sides ended in a 2-2 draw.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi scored twice each, but neither side could get the result they wanted.
It was also after this game that Real Madrid officially announced that the head coach Mourinho was resigned, including Mourinho's team and assistant coach Karanka will leave Valdebebas, and the new head coach is temporarily undecided.
The news of the earthquake quickly swept the world, and almost all fans were shouting about Mourinho's dismissal.
But there are also many professional fans who think that Mourinho's departure is not strange, and even Jose Ramon commented on Mourinho on his own show, thinking that he is a manager who plays the country, but he can't keep the country he has beaten down.
It was at Chelsea and it was at Real Madrid.
Porto and Inter Milan chose to retire, otherwise, judging from the performance of the players after Inter Milan won the Champions League, even if Mourinho stays, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the doom of class.
Tragically, Atletico Madrid defeated Malaga 2-1 at home, quickly expanding the points gap between themselves and Barcelona to five points, but the team was finally stolen by the news of Mourinho's dismissal and grabbed the headlines!
This also made Yang Huan laugh when he saw it, and called Atletico Madrid the Wang Feng of La Liga!
But the five-point lead also made Yang Huan feel very happy.
After this round of La Liga, Real Madrid has basically announced that they have left the ranks of the champions.
The only contenders in contention for the La Liga title are Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
But now, Atletico Madrid is five points ahead of Barcelona.
It's not a big advantage, but it's exciting!
Especially in the Premier League, Southampton has also won consecutive games recently, which makes Young Master Huan very happy.
Therefore, before Christmas, Young Master Huan suddenly announced a blockbuster news, which immediately caused the world to exclaim.
Atletico Madrid tried his best to grab the headline, and Master Huan unceremoniously snatched it! .
