However, the matter of Real Madrid did not attract too much attention from these Atletico Madrid players. They were just talking as a joke when they were free.

Atletico Madrid played in a Cup of Kings after Real Madrid. The opponent was still a Class B team. Atletico Madrid took the lead at 2-0 at home and then had the advantage in the home and away double rounds.

However, the Cup of Kings is just an episode after all, and the league is the main theme of the team. The opponent that Atletico Madrid will face in the next league will be another Madrid derby.

Atletico Madrid's next opponent in the league is the satellite city from Madrid. Getafe. Strictly speaking, Getafe is not in Madrid, but since he is a satellite city in Madrid, he is also considered a Madrid team.

However, although Getafe is a Class A team, their identity is just like their city, and it is a satellite club that is unstoppable.

As for whose satellite team they are, there is no need to ask, it will definitely not be Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid cannot have a Class A team to do satellites.

Only Galaxy battleships like Real Madrid can have such satellite teams. Some people may ask, aren’t there no satellite teams between Class A teams? Wasn’t it allowed to play FM before? Satellite teams are not allowed in the same league, otherwise will the relationship between the two sides be forced to be terminated?

But that's just a game. Although the game is fun, it still has a certain gap with reality. Getafe is Real Madrid's satellite, the city is a satellite city, and the club is naturally a satellite club.

Real Madrid will give priority to loan their young players to Getafe to let these young players gain experience in the game. You should know that Real Madrid B, that is, Castia, can only participate in the B League at the highest level. The level of the B League and the A League is naturally different, so it is very important to let young players learn from their experience.

Then if these players perform well, and if Real Madrid needs them, they will recruit these players they loaned back to the club. If Real Madrid feels that these players are not needed, they will also sell them to Getafe at a cheap price.

Getafe itself is a small club and has no source of income. They have the biggest goal of relegation every season, so since it is beneficial to follow Real Madrid, they are willing to be Real Madrid's younger brothers.

Getafe Football Club was founded in 1976 and was named the Getafe Association at Madrid. Four years later, in 1980, the club was renamed Getafe Sports Association. In 1982, the club was renamed Getafe Faith Club, and a year later the club was renamed again: "Getafe Football Club". This is also the current name of the team. Getafe Club is the most experienced among all 20 teams in La Liga.

In the last round of the game, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid. I wonder if Getafe, as Real Madrid's younger brother, will avenge their boss in this game.

Moreover, the current Getafe head coach Kike Flores has coached Real Madrid youth team before, and is also a coach trained by Real Madrid. Flores is now a prosperous team in Getafe. He has helped the team relegation continuously and conquered the eyes of many picky people. Spain regards the young Flores as the best candidate for the future head coach of the Spanish national team.

Of course, this has to be proved by Flores through a big club, but many experts have compared Flores with the former Real Madrid coach Boske, because both of them are from Real Madrid youth teams and have also achieved success after leaving the youth team.

However, Boske is a higher level. After leaving the Real Madrid youth team, he was immediately promoted to the head coach of the first team, and he was very famous in the position of Real Madrid's first team head coach. He was known as the best head coach of Real Madrid in the past twenty years.

In this game, Atletico Madrid also went to Getafe away. Mark and his group came to the locker room of Alfonso Perez Stadium, and Cooper also made the final arrangement for the game.

"Everyone defeated the powerful Real Madrid in the last round of the league. I think everyone must be very happy, but what I want to tell you is to be careful of the next opponent, because to some extent Getafe is harder to deal with than Real Madrid," Cooper said to the players in the locker room: "Because Real Madrid is a team that cannot defend, and Getafe and others are a team that has strong defense. Their survival is defense, so this game should be a big challenge to our offense."

The players were listening quietly as Cooper was talking. The game between these Atletico Madrid and Getafe is not the same, so they naturally know what the characteristics of Getafe are.

If Getafe is not good at defending, they will not be able to stay in La Liga. The relegation of the small team is not based on offense, but on defense, because the small teams are very realistic. Sometimes a point is an indispensable bargaining chip for them on the road to relegation.

"But there is also news that is good for us in this game, that is, the players our team loaned to Getafe cannot appear on the court. As long as you can play steadily next time, we will definitely win the game in the end," Cooper continued.

Cooper was also fully prepared in this game, and he also made adjustments to the formation. Atletico Madrid abandoned the previous four-51 formation and started the five-32 formation.

Portillo won the starting chance in this game, which is also his first starting chance to join Atletico Madrid.

However, Cooper's change of teams made Atletico Madrid players unable to see clearly what was going on, because Getafe's offensive ability is not strong, but Cooper's use of such a conservative tactic also surprised all players.

The previous April-51 formation of Atletico Madrid has made the players more and more familiar with the cooperation, and the team has achieved quite good results. Atletico Madrid has also returned to the championship ranks, and Cooper has adopted a conservative formation against the weak Getafe, which makes the players unable to understand.

"Mark, you are the right back in this game. You and Antonio both boldly stepped forward. When you attack, you are the right forward and when you defend, you are the right back. But you can only have one player pressing on it, and you can't both players pressing on it. Do you understand?" Cooper also explained Mark's position in this game and guided Mark.

"I understand!!" Mark nodded and said.

Mark still understands Cooper's meaning, that is, the formation of this game, Atletico Madrid has five defenders, but there is always a full-back forward when attacking, so Atletico Madrid has become a system of four defenders when attacking.

Mark is also very familiar with the right-back position. He has played in such a position before, and such a position is not a problem for Mark.

In fact, Cooper is still a very cautious head coach. Although his opponent is Getafe, the cautious Cooper still hopes to be able to stabilize the defense while making high-quality counterattacks. This is also the reason why Cooper wants to introduce forwards after joining Atletico Madrid.

Because Cooper was preparing to change the formation of Atletico Madrid after joining Atletico Madrid, but the previous personnel were not suitable, so Cooper did not make any changes to the previous lineup in order to stabilize.

But an excellent head coach will not just use a lineup to play, because everything will happen during the game, and the head coach will make timely adjustments to the lineup on the court as the game develops.

Generally, world-class coaches will have two or even multiple lineups, which is the head coach's on-site command ability and the ability to read the game.

Cooper is naturally one of the world-class coaches. Although he has never won the championship, he cannot deny Cooper's coaching level, especially Cooper's level in defensive counterattacks.

You should know that several teams Cooper coached are making a living by relying on defensive counterattacks. Whether in Mallorca, Valencia, or even Inter Milan, Cooper is adhering to his tactical and defensive counterattack tactics.

When Cooper arrived at Atletico Madrid, he naturally could not change his tactical concepts. Cooper felt that Atletico Madrid's defense was already very good, and all he had to do was to increase the efficiency of counterattacks.

A player with abundant physical fitness like Mark is naturally a weapon for the team to counterattack. Cooper thinks it is too wasteful to just let Mark play the full-back. Mark should be able to rush up the offense and retreat to the defense. This is what a strong player should do.

"Mark, I hope you can be Carlos on Atletico Madrid's right" Cooper said, patting Mark on the shoulder.

However, since Cooper has changed his tactics, Atletico Madrid players must re-know. During the tactical adjustment, Atletico Madrid players have suffered a significant impact, which can be seen from the starting list of this game.

The goalkeeper is Martin who plays as a substitute Franco, with two full-backs being Mark and Lopez, and the centre-backs being Baboro, Penia and Calvo.

The previous main right-back, Vellasco, was placed on the bench by Cooper. Vellasco was originally very stable in his position, but what Vellasco did not expect was that Cooper actually put him on the bench, which also made Vellasco feel dissatisfied.

But Velasco still has a chance, because in Cooper's defensive system, someone needs to make up for them after assisting the full-back.

Once the personal abilities of these defenders have problems, it will not be difficult for Velasco to return to the main lineup.

Because Atletico Madrid's central defender Calvo is a central defender who cannot be reassured, if he makes a mistake, then Velasco's chance will come.

In fact, the biggest change is the midfield. The three starting midfielders are Mascherano, Lusin and Van der Fate.

Van der Fate is in the center, Lusing and Mascherano are separated from each other to protect Van der Fate. Such a midfield combination naturally has no problem with players like Van der Fate.

Because Van der Fate had played in the middle of the three-man midfielder in Ajax before, and Van der Fate's performance was quite good, now Van der Fate has no problem returning to such a position.

But someone is tragic, that is Glenshare. Because Glenshare fought too fiercely in the last round of the game, he was injured in training and had to be short of two weeks.

Originally, Glenshare had many injuries, but Cooper now had such a formation when he was injured, so there was no Glenshare position at all.

Even if Glenshare returns from injury, if Cooper still arranges such a formation, Glenshare will be the fate of serving as the substitute.

Torres and Portillo are naturally partnered on the forward line. Both players have the title of Golden Boy, but Torres is stronger than Portillo.

The game started soon. On Getafe's side, two players Rivas and Gabi, who were loaned to Getafe, were not on the starting list.

Atletico Madrid can be said to be Getafe's largest loan player, because Atletico Madrid loaned Getafe to two players, while Getafe's boss Real Madrid only loaned Getafe to one player.

If people who are not sure think Atletico Madrid is Getafe's boss, it is not the case. Although Getafe is Real Madrid's younger brother, he has connections with many clubs. Getafe selects players with potential in other clubs and then loans them to their clubs for playing.

Of course, this kind of performance is just to help other clubs train players, but if Getafe wants to acquire the players they loaned, he will naturally not be able to get a relatively cheap price like Real Madrid.

Getafe's loan corps showed their goal in this game after the opening, which was to defend and counterattack. Getafe decided to win one point in this game.

Although Atletico Madrid is not that kind of super team, it is much better than Getafe. Flores is very pragmatic in Getafe. He thinks that winning one point is the team's victory.

Of course, if you can score a goal or score a three-pointer by Atletico Madrid's mistake, Flores naturally won't mind.

The key defensive player in this game is Albiol, the main central defender of the Spanish Youth team who came on loan from Valencia.

Albiol was loaned to Getafe during the winter break, and this game was his first starting match for Getafe.

He had already made a substitute before, and head coach Flores obviously trusted Albiol very much, and he gave the young player under 20 to start.

You should know that this is not easy, because the central defender needs to be very stable, and a 19-year-old young man serves as the starting central defender, which is rare even in small clubs.

However, this may be the relationship between Flores and Albiol's father. Albiol's father is a former famous Spanish international. He once played for Benidor's club. It is also for this reason that Albiol began to work in Benidor's football. In a friendly match between Benidor's youth team and Valencia's youth team at the age of 9, Albiol performed very well, and transferred to Valencia's youth training camp for further professional training. On September 24, 2003, when he just turned 18, he played for the first team in the official match against Aik in the League Cup. At that time, he was also a player of Valencia's B team. On September 24, 2003, in the League Cup Valencia's match against Aik, he played for the first team in the official match for the first time.

This season, Albiol was able to join Getafe on loan and also had an indispensable relationship with Flores. Because Flores had observed Albiol's football before, he knew Albiol's strength very well, so Flores found Getafe's chairman and directly asked Albiol to loan Albiol, and then through his relationship with Albiol's father, the 19-year-old big player joined the team.

Although Albiol is young, he is also very strong among the Spanish central defenders who are the same age as him. Sakchi, who is currently the technical director of Real Madrid, has also specially inspected him.

However, at that time, Saki played for Parma. He and Valencia's chairman Soles also asked about the possibility of introducing Albiol, but Soles directly refused.

This can show from another perspective that Albiol's strength. Italy can produce central defenders. If they are interested in a 19-year-old Spanish young man, it can show that this young man must have great potential.

After the opening, Albiol did play his advantage in height. He mainly defended Torres in the penalty area and was not at a disadvantage when competing for a header with Torres.

On the right side of Atletico Madrid, Mark and another loan player from Getafe, from Galliado of Sevilla, who is another member of Getafe's loan army.

Mark also had a comprehensive advantage in the confrontation between Galliado, and Mark, who was not fast, could survive him as he wanted.

But even after Mark passed Galiado, he could not make a good shot because there was a player behind Galiado.

Mark can be said to be fighting with two players. It must be because Mark's performance in the last game was so amazing that Flores had to pay attention to Mark.
Chapter completed!
