    In the first round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid encountered a difficult opponent-the fourth in the league last season, Real Mallorca from the island.

    This team's performance in La Liga last season was quite surprising. Under the leadership of the famous coach Aragones, they once again entered the top four in La Liga - which is the same as the third place in La Liga created by Cooper.  The results are only one step away, which also allows them to qualify for this season's Champions League.

    Unlike last time when they finished third in La Liga and sold many of their main players, Mallorca kept most of their main players this time. Eto'o and Luke, the forward pairing who performed well last season, were retained.  Although no players have been introduced, it is the biggest victory for Mallorca to be able to retain the main players who have performed well after a successful season!

    In the first round of the league, they met the defending champion Atletico Madrid. Mallorca did not want to be defeated right away. What's more, this round of the league was still held at their home court. Even if they faced the defending champion, Mallorca still had to fight.  Give it a good fight - in the past few seasons, they have created several miracles by relying on their unyielding fighting spirit.

    After leading the team to Mallorca, Dick did not take this opponent seriously - maybe they have good fighting spirit now, but for Mallorca, fighting on two fronts is very difficult.  Although under Cooper's leadership, they once finished third in La Liga and also won the runner-up in the Cup Winners' Cup, Mallorca at that time was different from Mallorca now, although Mallorca's current players are also  Quite a few, but none of the Mallorca players have rich experience. Eto'o and Luque are both very good players, but they are still young after all. After the success of last season, emotions will inevitably appear this season.  Inflated, they will subconsciously ignore the league and focus on the Champions League - Dick still remembers that historically Mallorca performed well in the Champions League this season, and they were inextricably tied with Arsenal in the group stage. In the end, it was just because  The relationship between the winners and losers ranked third in the group stage and failed to enter the second stage of the group stage. However, in the league, they only narrowly managed to avoid relegation. This is because the foundation and experience are not enough to support it.  They behave like this.

    Aragones is an excellent head coach, but no matter how good the head coach is, he must have good players to reflect his tactical intentions.

    In this game, Dick once again sent out the same lineup as in the second half of the second round of the Spanish Super Cup. Torres and Jardel formed a strike partner, and Camoranesi, Belleron, and Barra were deployed in the midfield.  Ha and Makelele, there is still no rotation in the defense. Dick attaches great importance to defense.

    From the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid did not regard themselves as a giant and defending champion. Instead, they put down their arrogance and fought back and forth with Mallorca in the midfield, constantly wearing down the opponent's energy in the midfield - Mallorca's frontcourt  Relatively young, youth means passion, but it also means that they can easily become impatient.

    Mallorca's defense is still dominated by veterans. Last season, Aragones did a good job of bringing out the passion of young players in offense and reusing the composure of veterans in defense. However, now it has passed.  After one season, using the tactics from last season seems a bit out of date - there is no tactic in this world that cannot be solved. If you don't take the initiative to make changes, you will feel that your game will become more and more difficult.

    Atletico Madrid's performance last season was outstanding. Dick will still practice other tactics this summer. It is for this reason. It's not that Aragones doesn't know this truth, but there is still a gap between knowing and doing it.  There is a certain gap. With Mallorca's financial resources, it is already a great thing to be able to retain the main players after the end of the season, let alone introduce new blood to make changes.

    Dick's tactical changes in pre-season training were not implemented smoothly. After all, the players were accustomed to that kind of tactics last season, and the implementation of the changes would definitely cause some backlash. However, after the introduction of three new players  , had an impact on the original main lineup. Most players only wanted to perform well in the training camp to keep their main position. Naturally, they had no chance to protest against the new tactical drills. What about Aragones?  It is great for Mallorca to have an excellent main lineup, let alone to put pressure on the main players so that the head coach can implement his own strategy.

    Under such entanglement, Mallorca's frontcourt players began to look a little upset. The experienced Atletico Madrid seized an opportunity before the end of the first half. In a melee in front of the goal, Camo  Ranesi made a supplementary shot in front of the goal and opened the scoring for the team!

    With this goal in the first half, Atletico Madrid played more and more skillfully in the second half. Mallorca's defense was not as strong as before.After losing the initiative in the game, Atletico Madrid started to be beaten passively. After 60 minutes, Atletico Madrid played a wave of excitement. Within eight minutes, Belleron, Torres and Jardel each scored a goal. Atletico Madrid unexpectedly won 4 games away from home.  Zero swept Mallorca, leaving last season's fourth place in disgrace!

    "Terrible Atletico Madrid! Mallorca, who was able to achieve one win and one draw against Atletico Madrid last season, was completely slaughtered by them in the first round of the league! After changing the usual 451 from last season to 442  , Atletico Madrid's offensive ability began to fully come into play. Different from the slow start of last season, Atletico Madrid showed excellent form from the beginning of this season, while their city rival Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in an away game.  Lencia and Barcelona only defeated the newly promoted Sevilla with one goal in the away game. Now Atletico Madrid and Deportivo have defeated their opponents with four goals and are ranked first in La Liga"

    When the media began to report on Atletico Madrid's outstanding performance, Dick was already proudly leading the team to prepare for Monaco - he would attend the draw ceremony of this season's Champions League and also participate in the European Super Cup.  .

    Dick didn't have much yearning for the draw ceremony of the Champions League. Atletico Madrid's previous results in European competitions were average, and they became popular last year by winning the UEFA Cup. In this draw ceremony, they just  Ranked in the second tier, it is really unknown which team they will be placed in the same group with. Dick does not expect Atletico Madrid to be able to draw an extremely lucky group, such as the weakest team in the first tier  Well, there are no weak teams in the first level If we can compete with teams like Rosenborg in the third level and Sparta Prague in the fourth level, it doesn't seem to be a very realistic idea.

    What Dick is looking forward to now is the match with Bayern. At this time, Bayern has begun to decline. In fact, at the turn of the century, that is, Bayern a year or two ago was the most powerful Bayern.  Bayern's strength this season has dropped a lot compared to the previous two seasons. However, due to luck, Bayern only won the Champions League last season.

    Being able to play against such a team, even just catching up with the tail of their best form, is enough to make Dick excited. The only regret is that Effenberg was injured in the previous training and has been determined to be unable to play in this game.  After missing this opportunity in the game, it is estimated that Dick will have no chance if he wants his players to play against Effenberg.

    After bringing the whole team to Monaco, Dick was naturally unwilling to be lonely. He couldn't train that night anyway, so Dick simply gave all the players a day off, and then went to the Monte Carlo casino to play a few laps.  Ke doesn't have a gambling addiction, but he doesn't mind relaxing in this way.

    Of course, the reporter would not let this go. The next day, the newspaper published the headline "Dick neglected his duties and went to the casino to spend money like water on the eve of the lottery." Dick didn't mind this at all. This was his reputation anyway.  It seems that he has never concealed that he is a person who likes to enjoy - I am young and rich, what's wrong with enjoying a little?  You envious and jealous fellows!

    In the football circle, people only care about your performance. Just like Ferguson also likes to bet. He is famous in the English football world for liking to bet on horse racing, and no one makes a fuss about it. Of course, in the English football circle, well  There are many people who gamble, but players tend to be more secretive and don't want to be known. For example, Owen was once revealed to have lost tens of thousands of pounds in one night, and then Owen denied it

    The coach has much less worries in this regard.

    When he appeared at the lottery ceremony the next day, Dick began to feel that his performance last season had played a certain role. Many head coaches took the initiative to say hello to Dick when they saw him - in this circle  Here, strength means being respected!

    Dick kept saying hello to people, and then found a place to sit down - the head coach from Spain naturally sat together. Sitting next to Dick were Del Bosque, Aragones and Irueta.  , these people are no strangers to Dick, but probably only Irueta has a better relationship with him. As the head coach of Real Madrid, Del Bosque will naturally not be too familiar with Dick, and Aragones  His team had just been beaten 4-0 by Dick, and of course he would not show a good face to Dick.

    Dick didn¡¯t care about this. There was no one who would not be stabbed in the world. Dick didn¡¯t expect everyone to like him. As long as the fans of the club he coached liked him, it was enough.

    La Liga teams have performed well in European competitions recently. Real Madrid and Deportivo are both first-tier teams, while Atletico Madrid and Mallorca are second-tier teams. If they are lucky, they should both  Can be assigned to a good group.

    Dick has been treating the lottery with a calm expression,Even when Atletico Madrid was placed in Group G, in the same group as Manchester United, along with Olympiacos and Ligue 1 third-placed Lille, he remained calm at all, which made people sigh for this young man.  The head coach is indeed very calm

    But in fact, Dick had already fucked up UEFA in his stomach. Is this what he did?  It just so happened that we had just bought Stam from Manchester United, and we were immediately placed in the same group as Manchester United There's no need to make it so obvious when it comes to gimmicks!

    When being interviewed, Dick behaved very calmly: "Atletico Madrid has not participated in the Champions League for a long time. No matter what group we are assigned to, it is the same for us The top two can participate in the second  This is our goal in the group stage. The biggest favorite in this group? If I were not the head coach of Atletico Madrid, I would say Manchester United, but now, I would say Atletico Madrid, because the head coach who leads them is me.  "
