    Naturally, no one knew what happened that night, but after a day off, Dick became more serious on the sidelines of the training ground. He began to observe the players' performance during training more carefully.  And then verify it during the game - this kind of work is very important now, otherwise, the consequences will be serious

    After playing the Madrid derby, Dick was obviously much more relaxed. After all, with the outstanding results during this period, even if there are any ups and downs in the future, it will not affect the team's morale.

    The next midweek is the second leg of the second round of the UEFA Cup. In the first leg, Atletico Madrid swept their opponents 4-0 at home, which made the following game a mere formality. Dick naturally would not let this go.  A good opportunity for the main players to rest - he only flew 18 players to the away road, including three players who were transferred from the second team, so that all the main players stayed in Madrid to rest - to prepare for the next away challenge.  Mallorca match.

    Dick needs to pay more attention to the game against Mallorca. In addition, the advantage in the UEFA Cup is too great. If the main players are not allowed to take a good rest, they will be sorry for the advantage they created in the first round!

    So a full set of substitutes played in the away game for 90 minutes. This lineup was not bad. Cruz and Correa partnered up front, and Paunovic and Beibul led two young midfielders from the second team.  On the field, coupled with the experienced defense line, although Atletico Madrid finally lost in the away game, it was only 1 to 2. Cruz scored a key goal in the game, and Atletico Madrid finished with  With a total score of five to two, they head into the third round of the UEFA Cup.

    Of course, in the third round of the UEFA Cup, things were not so good - Atletico finally met a worthy opponent - Porto from Portugal!

    The two games against Porto will be played on November 22 and December 7. Atletico Madrid will play at home first and then away. This is also a huge test for Atletico Madrid.  .

    For Dick, it is even more of a huge test - the previous two rounds of the UEFA Cup were not considered a real test in the European arena. Now they are facing Portugal's top team Porto, and they meet in the European arena. This is considered a test.  is the real test, the European premiere!

    However, after the league restarted, Atletico Madrid's ups and downs began to be exposed again. Although the players had enough rest time in midweek, after two consecutive top performances, Atletico Madrid players were here.  The performance was relatively weak in the game.

    Although Jader scored his seventh league goal of the season in the 68th minute, Atletico Madrid still failed to get even a draw in the away game. In the first half, Nigerian winger Finidi George and local forward Al  Bert Luke scored two goals in a row in the game. Jardel's goal only brought the score back to one. Then, although Dick successively replaced Cruz and Torres, he still could not save Atletico Madrid's away loss.  Mallorca results.

    After losing this round of the league, Atletico Madrid fell to third place. Deportivo La Coru?a won and overtook Atletico Madrid by one point. Although Valencia tied with Rayo Vallecano 2-2 in this round,  However, they still rank first in the standings with a one-point advantage. Behind them, Real Madrid, Mallorca and Alaves are also approaching Atletico Madrid. Their points are all 17 points, only two points away from Atletico Madrid.  difference.

    Even Celta Vigo, which is further behind, has 16 points, and Barcelona and Villarreal also have 15 points. This season's La Liga is indeed showing a situation where all the heroes are coming together. A loss in a game may lead to a ranking.  Dramatic changes in the game - the league has only started ten rounds. The top two teams, Valencia and Deportivo, have lost two league games. Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Mallorca, Alaves and other teams have also lost their games.  After losing three league games, the competition in La Liga is quite fierce now. It will definitely not be like the future where it will be a two-man showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona

    Regarding this result, Dick did not show too much disappointment. At the post-match press conference, he once again emphasized that Atletico Madrid is a newly formed team, and it is normal for the state to have ups and downs, but!  Being able to defeat Barcelona and Real Madrid in succession has proved that Atletico Madrid is a team capable of competing for the league championship, as long as they can maintain a high level of performance.

    And this is Dick¡¯s job responsibility.

    In the next week, Atletico Madrid players were tired and lost the game. Naturally, there would be no vacation. Dick ordered Marriner to strengthen the tactical aspects of training and the number of training matches. Almost every day, Atletico Madrid players  I left the training ground as tired as a dead dog. When I got home, I wanted to fall asleep. Not to mention going to the nightclub, even if I wanted to make out with my girlfriend, I felt exhausted

    But Dick is not that kind of personIs Magath considered a head coach who uses high pressure to deal with his players?  After coaching Bayern, he led the players to run every day, and then took the lead himself. Although his results were good, once the results dropped, the players collectively rebelled and drove him away. Dick did not want to suffer such an end - although  He doesn't intend to make all the players feel like they are saints, but at least he won't cause a strong backlash from the players because of this approach.

    To put it bluntly, players are just working. You have no reason to ask them to do more extra things. Training is to ensure their condition, not to force the players to run with you just because you can run. It is not their job to do anything.  , you can punish him, but you can't force the other party to do extra things - Magath made this mistake.

    The high-intensity training lasted for four days. Starting from Friday, Dick began to reduce the amount of exercise to let the players take a good rest and restore their physical fitness to prepare for the next league. He increased the training volume just to show an attitude, and it was not  He wants to train all the players down one by one, which is why he will do this if there is no game in the middle of the week.

    Sometimes some things also need to be compared. After the heavy exercise training in the first few days, the next two days of training made the players feel extremely relaxed, and when they stepped onto the court, they began to feel that they were playing a formal game.  It seems to be easier than training

    Real Sociedad, who are ranked bottom, is in bad luck - this team is originally considered a traditional team in Spain. Atletico Madrid lost to Mallorca in the last round, so the results since the beginning of the new season have not been very good.  Real Sociedad also wants to defeat Atletico Madrid at home to get a victory that can turn the situation of the entire season - after all, although Atletico Madrid has performed well this season, their ups and downs are still relatively large. At the same time, in order to prepare for midweek  In the UEFA Cup match, Atletico Madrid rotated a lot of main players in this game. For example, midfielder Belleron did not play, and many main players were absent from the defense.

    But with such a semi-main lineup, Atletico Madrid played a beautiful game in the away game. The tacit cooperation of the two centers Jardel and Cruz made Atletico Madrid perform very well in the away game. Jardel and Cruz  Sri Lanka scored two goals each in the game. Atletico Madrid beat Real Sociedad 4-1. With Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna both suffering draws, Atletico Madrid once again climbed to the top of the standings with a one-point advantage.  !

    With a victory and the first position in the standings to enter the UEFA Cup, it is undoubtedly very good news for Atletico Madrid.

    After returning from the away game, Dick began to prepare for the game against Porto - in fact, when he was training the players vigorously last week, he was not idle in private and had already begun to collect information about Porto.  .

    Dick will not relax about this team - that is the team that will miraculously win the Champions League in four years!  This is also the only team outside the four major leagues to have won the Champions League since Ajax won the championship in 1995!  Such a team cannot be as relaxed as it was against teams from Slovenia and Austria.

    But Dick also knows that the current Porto is not the same Porto that won the Champions League four years later - their head coach is not the personality-rich Mourinho, but a local whom Dick has never heard of.  Coach Pedro Dorival, heroes of the Champions League such as Ferreira, Carvalho, Valente, Costinha, Maniche, McCarthy, Del Rey, etc. have not yet joined Porto, such as Valencia  Both Te and Del Rey are currently playing for Leiria, and their ability to join Porto is due to the fact that they played under Mourinho when they were in Leiria - Mourinho is also a very good player.  A head coach who likes to take old teams to new teams. When he came to Porto, he brought Valente and Del Rey. When he went to Chelsea in the future, he brought Carvalho and Ferreira, and he also went to Inter Milan and Real Madrid.  At that time, he did not take his old club with him - this is related to the tradition of Serie A and La Liga. They often buy people not through the head coach but through the transfer manager and technical director. Dick can obtain transfer power at Atletico Madrid, which has a lot of potential.  The reason is that Atletico Madrid does not have a capable technical director. Young Hill used to hold this position concurrently, but it was Old Hill who made the decision on the transfer - so when Old Hill gave Dick this power, Young Hill  Hill had nothing to say, after all, it was as if he had never sat in this position before.

    In fact, it can be seen how chaotic Atletico Madrid's management is. Hill's rule over Atletico Madrid has never established an efficient and professional team, and he seems to have never thought of doing so.  This is also the reason why Hill spent a lot of money but his results were average. However, he was still much luckier than Moratti, because his Atletico Madrid won the league championship and he didn't spend as much money as Moratti.  exaggerate¡­¡­

    Although?These people are not in Porto yet, but their backbone still exists - goalkeeper Baea is the Portuguese national goalkeeper, defense core Jorge Costa is a veteran of Porto, and Russian midfielder Aranichev is  Their main midfielder, the Brazilian Deco, is now the core of Porto's midfield. The only thing that is not so good is their forward line, because the Brazilian center Jardel they have relied on in the past four years is now  Playing for rivals Atletico Madrid

    The departure of a powerful center like Jardel who could bring 20 to 30 goals every season in the past is an irreparable loss, whether it is the young winger Paulo Costa or the one who performed well in Atletico Madrid.  Argentinian center Juan Esneider was unable to fill the vacancy after Jardel's departure.  This Porto team is still quite strong in the midfield and backcourt, but what they lack is their scoring ability.

    It is precisely because of this lack that they were eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers and could only come to compete in the UEFA Cup
