Atletico Madrid then fought against Atletico Lisbon at home. Of course, Mark had no chance to represent Atletico Madrid in this final battle for the qualification of the League Cup.

However, with Atletico Madrid's two-goal lead, there should be no big problem if it beats Atletico Lisbon, and the fact is actually the case. Although Atletico Madrid was completely suppressed by Lisbon at home, Atletico Madrid still relied on their strong defense to defend the score to the end.

Atletico Madrid has also been qualified to enter the finals. In the finals of the League Cup, Atletico Madrid will face the opponent La Coruna, which should be a relatively stable team in recent La Liga years. However, although La Coruna's super Laco is still in the framework of this time.

But they gradually fell into decline at this time. This is because there were problems with their finances and the boss behind the scenes stopped spending money, so the performance of the La Coruna team began to decline.

In fact, this is inevitable, because the youth training system of La Coruna itself is not very outstanding. Their previous outstanding results were achieved through successful signings.

Judging from the results of this season, we can see how La Coruna has fallen, although there are also talented offensive players like Tristan and Bellellon in their team.

However, at this time, La Coruna was only ranked ninth in the league. You should know that La Coruna was still a favorable contender for the league championship a few years ago.

But now they have to fight for the qualification of a League Cup, and this kind of gap should not be accepted by ordinary people.

It’s like a person who has never had money before, but then suddenly becomes rich. It’s naturally a happy thing and starts to enjoy life, but later it becomes out of money, so the person will not be able to bear it in his heart.

The fans of La Coruna should be in this mood. They have always been competing for league championships, but now they are playing in the league.

But perhaps no fan can believe that in a few seasons, La Coruna, who was known as the Super Laco, would be relegated, but this is all a story after all.

Atletico Madrid players took a plane and then came to the province of La Coruna in the Galicia Autonomous Region. The players soon arrived at the Riasso Stadium, home court of La Coruna.

The Riaso Stadium is home to the Spanish Football Club La Coruna. It was built in 1944 and has undergone two renovations between 1982 and 1995-1998.

The Riasso Stadium can accommodate 34,611 spectators. The stadium is all-natural turf and has a geothermal system. It can be said that the Riasso Stadium is still a relatively advanced stadium.

Before this game, the media also predicted what the score of this game would be, because the previous Atletico Madrid entered the final in the League Cup.

But after all, all the main players fought to the last moment, so for this game three days later, how physically the Atletico Madrid players can play against La Coruña away.

This matter is something that everyone is concerned about, and the media are also predicting whether Cooper will make personnel adjustments to Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, and then let the main players rest and replace them with the rotation lineup.

However, Cooper did not make much adjustments to the roster, but chose Mark and Portillo's partner on the front line, and then sent Van der Far into the starting lineup.

The remaining three players in the midfield are all midfielders with super defensive capabilities, and Mascherano, Lusin and Corsa also all start.

Cooper, above the defense, let the old captain Sergi start and replace Antonio Lopez.

It should be said that although Atletico Madrid made a small adjustment, it should have sent all the main players to play. It can be said that Atletico Madrid still attaches great importance to the game against La Coruña at this time.

The starting lineup of La Coruna in this game is like this, the lineup is four, two, three, one

forward:

Tristan

Midfielder:

Victor

Bellelon

Luke

Backstage:

Silva

Sergio

Defender:

Amo

Cesar

Andrad

Pablo

Goalkeeper:

Molina

This is also one of the strongest lineups of La Coruña, and on their bench are also excellent players such as Fran and Pandiani.

Of course, La Coruna's lineup is more like a 4333 formation, because Luke himself is a winger, and Victor's personal offensive ability is also very good.

Berellon is even called Spain's Zidane. In terms of such a lineup, La Coruna looks at it on paper, so there is no need to say much about their offensive ability.

In fact, La Coruña is also unlucky this season. They were planning to go to the Three Asian countries to do tour games before the start of this season. In fact, they were just going to make money, but they were not able to succeed. This may be because they are not very famous.

The stars of La Coruna are not very attractive, so they are not able to succeed. So after the start of this season, La Coruna is preparing to use the game to prove its strength.

Then after the end of this season, I got a good ranking and then had a good business card to make money in the future. But what I didn’t expect was that La Coruna’s performance this season would be like this.

Although La Coruna has not spent a penny to introduce players this season, La Coruna has to rely on their original lineup to play.

Some of the players introduced are also players who return on loan through free transfers or loans. Although their head coach Iruetta is the title of Fox, this outstanding "ball pathology" expert in La Liga cares more about the smooth ball path, and the stars are just the leads to serve this. However, as the season deepens, Iruetta still has to face the situation of being stretched to employ people.

Therefore, the responsibility for the La Coruna team was not entirely on Iruetta at this time. The board of directors of La Coruna should also have great responsibility.

But the board of directors will never admit their mistakes. They blame Iruetta, and they also named Iruetta. After the end of this season, if La Coruna team is not qualified to participate in the European competition.

Then Iruetta will be swept out.

Irueta's contract with La Coruna is also signed every year. Irueta has been with La Coruna for eight years.

I don’t know what reason, but Irueta would choose such a way to sign a contract in one year, but after all, Irueta relied on his coaching in La Coruna for the year and also earned some popularity.

If Iruetta leaves the La Coruna team, I believe that if I find a job, there should be no problem.

The players on both sides quickly appeared, and Mark looked at the stands of the game. Although the scale of the stadium of La Coruna was about much different from that of Athletic Bilbao before.

But the team's attendance rate was pitifully small. Mark saw that there were only about 10,000 people in the stands of more than 30,000 people coming to the scene to cheer. This shows the cohesion among the fans of La Coruna.

Fans are also extremely disappointed with La Coruna this season. They were eliminated early in the Champions League and were half-dead in the league, so many La Coruna fans also chose not to come to watch the game at home.

Most of the fans who come to watch the game at home are actually holders of season tickets. Anyway, if you don’t watch the game, it would be a waste, so the owners of these season tickets will come to cheer for the team at home.

Most of the fans who have season tickets are also staunch supporters of the team. After seeing the team like this, they also felt that the team needed their support. Therefore, these few fans of La Coruna were shouting cheer for La Coruna in the stands after the start of the game.

Atletico Madrid has to use defense to win in this game. Atletico Madrid has a defensive counterattack attitude, and the three defensive midfielders are lined up one after another. With such a lineup, even if La Coruna's midfielder has strong creative ability, facing a three-defensive midfielder, La Coruna will not be able to get out of the situation for the time being.

Although Tristan, the forward of La Coruna, is also tall, and Tristan is 1.86 meters tall, he is not a power-type center. Tristan still prefers to deal with football with his feet.

Moreover, because Tristan suffered an injury after the World Cup in 2002, this eye affected his condition. It can be said that Tristan's injuries have not healed.

Tristan has completely entered the bench this season. This time the start is his tenth start of the entire season, which is due to the conflict between the previous main striker Pandiani and head coach Iruetta.

Then he asked head coach Iruetta to block it, so Tristan was able to get the opportunity to start. When he was able to start before, most of them were in irrelevant games, and there were more opportunities to start in the King's Cup.

Tristan also hopes to regain his majesty and score a goal, and then win the trust of the head coach and be able to serve as the starting striker again.

However, Tristan does not have much confidence in La Coruna. He thinks that La Coruna is about to finish, so he needs to recover his form in time not because of anything else, but because of his future livelihood, because Tristan still hopes to continue playing on behalf of other teams in the future.

After all, Tristan is only twenty-nine years old. According to normal, even the forward player is not in a decline in his competitive state when he is less than 30 years old, so for the sake of his future life, Tristan must work hard on the court.

In this game, Tristan set a goal for himself, that is, he must surpass Atletico Madrid's forward Mark.

Because Mark's condition has been so hot recently, people were talking about Mark before the game and whether Mark would score in the La Coruna team's game.

Mark scored fifteen goals in the league at this time, and whether Mark can rely on La Kuruña is not a very stable defense line to continue to expand his league goals, which is also something that is worth looking forward to.

Under such circumstances, the competition had become more and more competitive before the game was even started, and Mark did not know that this big man who walked shoulder to shoulder toward the court would have such an idea.

If Mark knew that Tristan had such an idea, then Mark would definitely tell Tristan that he would be optimistic about the bet, but I think you have little chance, so I should take a shower and go to bed.

After the game started, although La Coruna had the advantage in possession of the ball, this was completely the result of Atletico Madrid deliberately defending.

The La Coruna team demonstrated their ability to pass and control the ball. Although their players are a little older, their ability to control the ball is still very good.

But the only thing that makes people worry is that if they lose the ball, how can these uncle-level players chase the ball back, especially the two midfielders of La Coruna, Silva and Sergio are not young anymore.

At this time, Cooper looked at La Coruña's possession of the ball, and Cooper had no expression on his face. At this time, Cooper was very satisfied with Atletico Madrid's defense.

Because Tristan is the striker of the point-catching type and is not the air dominant type, Cooper didn't care much about Tristan because Barboro could completely defend Tristan.

Perea can also protect him from the side, so Tristan has no chance at all. As for Victor and Luke on the two sides, it is natural that the midfielders need to return to defense. At this time, Mark has retreated to the right midfield position.

Mark is to help the team defend Luke and Capdvilla, which is also one of the strong points of La Coruna, because except for Belleron in the middle, the remaining offense is basically completed by Luke in the left.

Whether it is Victor or Luke, they can move on the left, and the original starting player on the right was Fran. Iruetta suddenly changed the team today, allowing all two left-footed players to appear. This is to hope that the frequent shifts of the two players can help the team lead the defensive players of Atletico Madrid.

The position of Atletico Madrid's defensive player can be confusing, and in this case, Atletico Madrid will naturally make mistakes and the opportunity for La Coruna will come.

It can be said that the tactical arrangement of La Coruna is very accurate. Iruetta is worthy of being a world-class head coach. His analysis of Atletico Madrid is also very accurate.

However, if you want to use attacks to break the opponent's defense, it really requires a lot of ability and luck. This is why some teams with super attacks always don't have much solution to some weak teams.

This is because defense is also a great science, and if you want to break the opponent's defense, it will always be more difficult than attacking yourself. Defense is easier to do than attacking.

Atletico Madrid is the strongest team in the La Liga. Atletico Madrid's defense can definitely be said to be the top in the entire La Liga.

In the 18th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid got a good chance to counterattack. At this time, Mark directly intercepted Sergio in the midfield, and then Mark passed the football to Van der Fate.

After Van der Fate got the ball, he started running and looking for his teammates' position. At this time, Atletico Madrid had only three players in the costume of La Coruña, namely Van der Fate, Portillo, and Mark.

In fact, this is the main offensive force of Atletico Madrid in this game. These three players formed a trident lineup, and the other players defended, and these three players attacked.

At this time, Mark and Portillo quickly began to separate and ran towards both sides. At the same time, they also took away their respective defensive players.

Mark took away Capdvilla and Andrade. Both players also knew Mark's excellence, so they directly went to guard Mark alone.

Portillo on the other side was just a central defender in Cesar defending him, so Van der Fate directly distributed the football to Portillo.

It can be said that Cesar is not Portillo's opponent at all. When Portillo got the football directly, he directly shot. Then after Molina of the team of Coruña attacked, he directly encountered the football.

Portillo seemed very upset at this time. He was very sorry for why he missed a good opportunity to score just now. He felt that if he adjusted the angle just now, he would definitely hit the football into the goal.

However, at this time, Mark suddenly appeared before the football, and then Mark shot lightly and directly shot the football into the net.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"Mark seemed to know in advance. He appeared before the football with a keen sense of smell, and then the rest was to hit the football. The feeling in front of Mark's goal was amazing. This should be a talent given to Mark by God. This should not be practiced after the day of practice." The commentator of Atletico Madrid also praised: "The La Coruna thought that as long as the ball was controlled, they could win the game, but they did not expect that the football game was not only controlled. If the defensive counterattack was done well, it would be very effective. Atletico Madrid had these talented players, so it was able to have such a sharp counterattack."
