322 The Striker's Showdown

Updated: 2012-08-21

After Mark was replaced, Mark also watched the game with a relaxed mood.

Although Van der Fate has been out of the battle for a long time and Van der Fate also needs to find the feeling of the game, after all, Van der Fate is an excellent player, and Van der Fate has also suffered serious injuries in the Ajax team before.

Moreover, Van der Fate also came out of the injury in his eyes that year, so Van der Fate was very clear about how he should do it when integrating into the team.

The current format on the court is also very conducive to Van der Fate's performance, because the tactics on the court are Atletico Lisbon attacking and Atletico Madrid are defending.

All Van der Fate needs to do is to pass the threatening ball to striker Torres, and he doesn't need to worry too much about other things.

When referee Corina sounded the score of the whole game, the scores of both sides were locked in three to one, and Atletico Madrid won a away game.

Van der Fate also assisted and scored a beautiful goal for Torres after playing, and the only player to score the goal for Sporting Lisbon was Ledesson, who had been unscrupulous before.

If Atletico Madrid can get such a score, even if it returns to home and plays the next second round of the League Cup, it should have a great advantage. Although Mark cannot appear in the second round of the game, it should be if Atletico Madrid does not make any big mistakes.

Atletico Madrid should be qualified to appear, so the Atletico Madrid players are also in a good mood and return to Madrid.

Then they have to prepare to play against their next opponent in the league away game, which is the Basque Eagles, which is Athletic Bilbao.

After Atletico Madrid returned to Madrid, after making a brief adjustment, he went to the Basque Autonomous Region three days later.

Athletic Bilbao is a football club located in Bilbao, Biscay Province, the Basque Autonomous Region in northern Spain. It was founded in 1898 and is the second-old football club in Spain. The club is a founding member of the Spanish Football League and has never been relegated since 1928. Only Real Madrid and Barcelona have this honor. The club only uses Basque players, and they, like Barcelona, ​​have never had any commercial advertisements on their jerseys.

There are two La Liga teams in the Basque Country, namely Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad.

"The team that best represents the Basque" is a question that Bilbao fans and Real Sociedad fans have been arguing. However, with Real Sociedad introducing the Irish Aldridge in the 1989-1990 season, the conflict stopped because Real Sociedad's Basque bloodline is no longer pure. The competition that has always maintained the creed for more than a hundred years has deserved to be the most powerful representative of the Basque image.

As a bridgehead of the Spanish industrial revolution, the Bilbao people never lack the blood and passion of the working class. They firmly believe that only children who grew up on the land of the Basque can defend the honor of the team to the death and be more trustworthy and reliable. This comes from the strong sense of national pride and belonging of the Basque people. The Guggenheim Art Gallery, which embodies the wisdom and spiritual strength of the Basque people, is the best interpretation of this national complex. This is called "the undestined to come early" by architects.

Come to build" symbolizes the wisdom and courage of this nation that comes out of the mountains and forests. In a sense, the art gallery shining on the banks of the Nelvion River has become a banner that the Basque region will always remember. The annual flow of tourists exceeds one million, which creates the deeper national pride of the Basque people. When this sense of pride enters the scope of competitive sports, it will deepen into the overlord style of "who else but me". Perhaps, this is the root of the purity of Basque blood.

Athletic Bilbao is one of the most successful football clubs in Spanish history. It has won 8 La Liga titles, 24 Spanish Copa del Rey and 1 Spanish Super Cup. It is the fourth best club in La Liga overall, second only to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. The club only uses players of Basque heritage and has not changed to this day. It is unique in La Liga and even major European leagues.

Because Real Sociedad is full of too many non-Basque players, only Athletic Bilbao can represent Basque football now.

However, when it comes to Athletic Bilbao, they still have a deep connection with Atletico Madrid. In 1903, the club was originally a branch club of Athletic Bilbao. At that time, they wore blue and white jerseys. In 1911, the team changed to the current red and white vertical jerseys and dark blue shorts (so the ball is sometimes called loscolchoneros (meaning "mattressmakers" in Spanish), because most of the sheets in Spain were red and white vertical stripes at that time). In 1921, the club officially came out of Athletic Bilbao.

Although this was a hundred years ago, the two teams still have such a relationship. However, since the later Atletico Madrid came out at Athletic Bilbao, its current results are much better than those of its former clubs.

The results of Athletic Bilbao this season are not very ideal. At this time, they are ranked tenth in the league and have basically lost the goal of directly advancing to the European League.

However, Athletic Bilbao will not be without a chance if he wants to advance to the European competition next season, because La Liga is also qualified for the International Toto Cup.

And there are two International Toto Cup qualifications among the La Liga teams in Seg season. That is to say, if Athletic Bilbao can finally secure the league ranking in eighth place, they will also have the opportunity to participate in the League Cup next season.

However, although the Basque Eagles' fighting spirit is still strong, their players' quality is not very good, but because they are Athletic Bilbao, they can only introduce players of Basque blood.

After entering the 21st century, with a large number of foreign players pouring into the La Liga, the strong team monopolized football resources and used only Basque players Athletic Bilbao has lost its strength to compete for the championship, but with the team's excellent youth training system and strong team cohesion, it has also performed well. In the 03/04 season, led by young coach Valverde, the team achieved fifth place in La Liga and reached the top 32 in the next season's UEFA Cup. It also had an amazing move to beat Standard Liege 7-1.

Therefore, the level of Athletic Bilbao players is not very strong, and due to the impact of football philosophy, some young players have been attracted by big clubs.

Therefore, the youth training system on which Athletic Bilbao relies for survival was also ruthlessly hit, which is why the performance of Athletic Bilbao was so sluggish at this time.

So it is understandable that Athletic Bilbao's poor performance. After all, it is like Barcelona, ​​the best youth training among La Liga teams. Not all players of Catalan descent are trained in their youth training system.

Like a strong team like Barcelona, ​​there are also powerful Argentine players like Messi in their youth training system. Therefore, there should be no problem with Athletic Bilbao relegation, but it is very difficult for them to achieve great things.

However, a team like Athletic Bilbao has never lacked passion, which may be closely related to the characteristics of their nation.

The players of the entire team are all players of Basque blood, which can easily bring cohesion to the team, and there is no problem between gangs.

So if Atletico Madrid plays against Athletic Bilbao away, the situation should not be very optimistic, and Athletic Bilbao's home court is still the famous devil's home court in La Liga.

Although there are only more than 30,000 seats in this stadium, the design of this stadium makes the fans closer to the stadium, so the sounds the fans make when watching the game will be even louder.

There are many La Liga strong teams at Athletic Bilbao's home court, and the San Mames Stadium has fallen, so Atletico Madrid must be careful.

The Spanish TV station also made a live broadcast of this game, which also shows the importance of the Spanish TV stations on this game.

Because Atletico Madrid is now ranked third in the league, eleven points away from Barcelona, ​​and five points away from the second-place Real Madrid.

So if Atletico Madrid in this game wants to win the second place in the league, it must win the game.

This round of the league is already the 34th round of La Liga, so if Atletico Madrid wants to get a better ranking, they don’t think they can make too many mistakes.

Moreover, this game is also regarded as a competition for local strikers in La Liga. Atletico Madrid's Torres and Athletic Bilbao's forward Lorent are both local strikers in La Liga.

And interestingly, both forwards are named Fernando, and Torres is named Fernando Torres, born in 1984.

Lorent's name is Fernando Lorent. He was born in 1985. Both of them are local strikers in La Liga, and they are also native players of their respective clubs. They are also trained in the youth training system of the two clubs.

These two players should also be representatives of the two clubs. Athletic Bilbao has always been good at cultivating youth training players and is famous in Spain. Therefore, how Lorent's performance in this game should also represent a problem of face for Athletic Bilbao.

Because before this, everyone criticized the concept of building Athletic Bilbao's club, they all felt that Athletic Bilbao should learn from their city rival Real Sociedad, and introduce some world-class big-name players. They should not keep the tradition and only introduce players of Basque ancestry.

Although Torres is one year older than Lorent, Torres' resume is much richer than Lorent, because Torres is the main striker of the Spanish national team at this time.

Atletico Madrid, the most popular Golden Boy in Spain, and Lorent is just a newcomer who has just obtained the first team qualification and has not yet confirmed the main position.

But when these media hyped before the game, they seemed to have forgotten Mark, the number one scorer of Atletico Madrid, and Mark, who has scored twenty league goals.

In fact, this is no wonder, because the media before this game had already set a tone for this game. The two teams with the strongest personality in La Liga, Atletico Bill Bar and Atletico Madrid, both of which are competitive teams with the suffix names.

It should be the most personalized team in the entire La Liga. The number of members of Atletico Madrid after being relegated did not drop but increased. The spirit of Athletic Bilbao's not bowing to business is worthy of people's deep thought.

So it can be said that the confrontation between the players among these two teams should be very good-looking, and is there a confrontation between the main strikers of these two teams? This gimmick is simply too good.

So under such a background, the media are also crazy about the main strikers of these two teams and Spanish players. This seems to be a fight between La Liga forwards.

Mark seems to have been ignored because although Mark has scored twenty goals at this time, this is Mark's total number of goals. In fact, Mark's number of goals in the league is only twelve, which is a very pitiful number of goals.

Mark couldn't even rank in the top ten among all the players in La Liga, so the media naturally didn't pay attention to Mark. With the five rounds of La Liga going to end, no one thought Mark could score wildly with only twelve league goals and then win the Golden Boot Award.

It should be said that such a situation is simply impossible. Although Mark has been in a very hot state recently and he doesn't have to play in the next League Cup game, no one can believe that Mark can break such a record.

In fact, Mark has scored relatively few goals this season, so it is not a big deal. Because of the conflict between Mark and head coach Ferlando before, Mark has been in a state of being blocked. If Mark cannot play, then there will naturally be no more goals.

Moreover, since Cooper took over Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid has always been defensive and counterattacking tactics, basically the one-to-zero. And when Atletico Madrid slowly showed their strength, ordinary teams use defensive tactics against Atletico Madrid, so Mark's league goals have always been low, which is understandable.

"Mark is a failed season as a striker." At this time, Mark suddenly saw the report of Ashes. Mark knew that Ashes would definitely not say anything good to him.

However, Asce should be relatively fair. In Asce's analysis, it first evaluated Mark's strength and then made some compliments. However, at the last moment, Asce also pointed out that although Mark's strength is excellent, as a striker, one of the situations in which a striker is excellent should be the number of goals. Although Mark scored double-digit goals, he still relied on free kicks to score, which should be a shame for a striker who needs to seize opportunities in front of the goal.

Although this analysis seems to be a bit in the end, it is actually a dark Mark. Ass is undoubtedly to let people know that although Mark did a great job, he didn't score many goals. Mark was also a little angry. Mark felt that he needed to prove his strength in this game and let these media take a good look at his strength.

"I want you to see how powerful I am in this game." Mark thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time Mark also ganged up the newspaper.

At this time, Atletico Madrid had already arrived in the locker room. The newspaper that Mark saw was seen in the locker room. I don’t know who stayed here. Maybe he was deliberately staying here for Mark to see it. But these are no longer important. What is important now is how Mark will use to prove himself in the next game.

However, although this game was a big battle, Cooper did not think this game was very important for the arrangement of troops in this game.

Because at this time, Sevilla behind Atletico Madrid is still six points away from Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid is not under much pressure in the league at this time.

And three days after the end of this game, Atletico Madrid will face the challenge of Sporting Lisbon at home.

So Cooper felt that there was no need for the main players to waste too much physical fitness in this game, so in this game, Cooper retained the goalkeeper and four other players on the defense line.

The remaining main players basically made rotations. Mark and Salva appeared together after the forward line, and Glenshare and Jorge also got the chance to play, and Lusin and Corsa also appeared in the starting lineup.

"This lineup should be more suitable for my performance. It seems that I will definitely score a lot of goals in this game." After Mark saw such a starting lineup, Mark also felt confident that he would definitely score goals in this game and score a lot of goals.

Because Glenshare and Jorge are both players who are good at offense, their strong offensive ability will naturally provide Mark with a lot of opportunities.

This showdown between Spanish strikers seems to be destined to become a showdown between two players of the same age.
