Chapter 517 Undefeated in 58 games!
In the first round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Sociedad away.
In a sense, this game is also a focus battle of this round!
Of course, Real Sociedad's performance in recent years has not been ideal, and they were even reduced to relegation. Therefore, in terms of strength, the current Atletico Madrid is much higher than Real Sociedad.
However, because this game is related to whether Atletico Madrid led by Gao Bo can tie the record of AC Milan, so this game can also be regarded as a focus battle.
A week before the game, the media began to hype.
Not only the Spanish media, but also the media in other parts of Europe, especially the Italian media are also paying attention to this game.
Because what Gao Bo's team is hitting is not the record of La Liga, but the record of the five major European leagues.
Under the leadership of Tie Shuai Capello, AC Milan, who owned the Dutch Three Musketeers, set an astonishing record of 58 consecutive unbeaten league games in the Serie A league known as the "Little World Cup".
Many people think that from then on, it should be impossible for a team that can surpass AC Milan in the five major European leagues.
But I didn't expect that now, AC Milan's horror record will be in danger of being broken. How can this not attract the attention of the world media.
马德里竞技已经逼近到了AC米兰在1991/92赛季、1992/93赛季创下了联赛58场连续不败的惊人纪录。
The Italian media naturally don't want AC Milan's record to be broken. Although this is Milan's record, it belongs to Italy anyway.
So during this period of time, in Italy, many media have put forward various opinions, thinking that it is impossible for Atletico Madrid to break the record.
Even now that Atletico Madrid is unbeaten in 58 league games, the Italian media also found out the reason why Atletico Madrid must fail.
That is the so-called reincarnation spell.
Coincidentally, AC Milan's unbeaten record began with the loss to Palmer, and it also ended because of the loss to Palmer.There are several other teams that have created dozens of consecutive unbeaten games. It is worth noting that they, like AC Milan, have fallen into the curse of "reincarnation".The Dutch powerhouse Ajax set a record of 93 unbeaten games after defeating Willem II in the 94/54 season, but in January 1996, they were defeated by Willem II and the record ended.
The Italian media concluded that this is the undefeated "curse of reincarnation", and then these Italians specifically checked the last round of the 2009-2010 La Liga season. Atletico Madrid's opponent happened to be Real Sociedad.
And now, when they were about to reach 58 unbeaten games, they happened to meet Real Sociedad again, and according to normal development, they should have met in the first round of La Liga, but they couldn't die. The strike of the La Liga players union caused the first round of the League Cup to be delayed until now.
Before this game, Atletico Madrid's opponent was still Real Sociedad.
This is like the double insurance of the "curse of reincarnation".
Somewhere, it seemed as if a pair of hands of fate were pushing things forward.
Such a discovery made the Italian media quite excited.
"God doesn't want Atletico Madrid to break the record that belongs to Italian football!"
"Gazzetta dello Sport" shouted in the report.
It's just that these Italians may have overlooked some other things. For example, Arsenal's unbeaten record has no reincarnation spell. They started with a loss to Southampton and were ended by Manchester United.
Everyone likes to find words that are beneficial to them, and the Italians are no exception.
On the Spanish side, most fans are not impressed that Atletico Madrid is about to break the record.
Except for the fans of Atletico Madrid, the fans of other teams are eager for Atletico Madrid to lose soon, because their undefeated, isn't it just to set off the failure of other teams?
This unbeaten record is being hyped, which is not good for Atletico Madrid, but may put the players into a tense atmosphere.
Gao Bo was a little worried that this tense atmosphere would turn into pressure, and then the pressure would accumulate game by game, eventually becoming a burden that crushed his team.
But it’s all here, and the record is only one game away. Of course, it’s impossible for Gao Bo to say to the players: “Everyone can play whatever they want. It’s no big deal whether the record is recorded or not.”
Now the whole world is paying attention to this game. If Atletico Madrid does not break the record in the end, it will damage their morale even more.
Therefore, Gao Bo made up his mind to win this match against Real Sociedad!
There is only one step away from breaking the record, why not break it?
Real Sociedad is Atletico Madrid's opponent in this game. In fact, they are not the kind of team that is easy to deal with.
Before this game, Real Sociedad ranked eighth in the league and ranked in the middle.
Judging from this season's games, Real Sociedad is a typical home dragon and away worm.
Their home results are similarly good, with more than two-thirds of their points earned at home.
And at the beginning of the league, Real Sociedad suffered a three-game losing streak in away games, and then two [-]-[-] draws. It was not until their sixth away game that Real Sociedad scored their first away goal.
But at home, Real Sociedad is still very aggressive.
Relying on their excellent performance at home, Real Sociedad's ranking is stable in the top ten of the league, and it may also be heading towards the European theater.
Although they just lost to Atletico Madrid in the away game, but returning to their home court, Real Sociedad can still wrestle with Atletico Madrid.
Therefore, facing Real Sociedad away, Gao Bo was very cautious.
Before the game, he tried his best to mobilize the morale and fighting spirit of the players.
However, during the game, Gao Bo still noticed the impatience of the players.
Facing the record within reach, Atletico Madrid players' impatience to break the record has kept them from finding the state of scoring on the field.
All Atlético Madrid players were in a hurry, they couldn't wait to score in the game, and even ignored the patient pass organization because of it.
Even if there is a defense in front, it is a long-range shot that occurs frequently on the court.
Gao Bo watched from the audience and shook his head.
In the No. 60 minute of the second half, he replaced Reyes and Aguero, who were not in good shape in the frontcourt, and replaced them with Cork and Diego Costa, and then Griezmann moved to the middle.
At this time, he still chose to believe in Griezmann, his confidant who came to Madrid from Luton.
Sure enough, Griezmann played particularly well in the middle. In the 708th minute of the game, his shot in the penalty area helped Atletico Madrid break the deadlock.
After this goal made the stones in the hearts of all Atletico Madrid players land and take the lead, Atletico Madrid's game will be much easier, and even if they lose the ball, it will only be a draw, and a draw can also maintain their unbeaten.
Atletico Madrid's players suddenly relaxed.Their performance also returned to normal.
Facing Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid firmly controlled the ball, making Real Sociedad exhausted.The football is passed back and forth like this, and the Atlético Madrid players are not in a hurry to shoot.
At this time, both Atletico Madrid and Gao Bo appear to be very utilitarian, and now no one criticizes their utilitarianism.
As long as they keep this victory, they will tie the record that has been in the dust for more than ten years. At this time, it is impossible to be utilitarian.
There were boos all over the stadium.
The fans of the home team are naturally similarly dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid's behavior of holding the ball and delaying time.
But what they can do now is to boo wildly in the stands.And this little booing has no effect on the Atletico Madrid players who are used to it.
As the game time passed, when Atletico Madrid poured the ball up, Real Sociedad gradually lost their fighting spirit.
In fact, in this game, Real Sociedad's state is still very good, otherwise they would not have waited until the game No. 70 minutes before conceding a goal.
But they ultimately failed, and they became the foil for Atletico Madrid's record-tying.
During stoppage time, the players on the field were actually a bit uninterested in fighting.
Real Sociedad was led by the nose by Atletico Madrid. After consuming most of their physical energy, they finally had to give up the press. Facing the opponent's possession of the ball, Real Sociedad could only accept their fate.
And Atlético Madrid was thinking about how to celebrate.
