"In fact, for Bosque, his best choice is to give up the league and focus on competing with us for the Champions League. Because even if they give up the league, we will not be able to win the league championship because Valencia and their The points are the same, only nine points behind us. However, it is impossible for them to do this, and Del Bosque does not dare to do this, because Real Madrid cannot give up one part to pursue another part, they can only bite the bullet and go together Actually, they are not that tired now, and their condition is fully stimulated. Even if the main players are not allowed to rest in the league, their combat effectiveness will not be reduced too much. "
Hearing Dick say this, Marriner shrugged his shoulders: "The inexplicable sense of superiority can always kill Real Madrid."
As a coach who has been playing for Atletico Madrid and has been a member of Atletico Madrid from his player days to his coaching days, Marriner has never concealed his disgust for Real Madrid. This is the consciousness of an Atletico Madrid person. When he heard him say this, Di Ke laughed.
"Actually, this is where their pride lies. Del Bosque knows this. Real Madrid can temporarily lose some championships, but they cannot lose this foundation. This is the biggest factor that keeps them standing. The power of tradition is very powerful. Real Madrid's tradition is to go all out in any game and pursue magnificence, so although they sometimes lose something, what is the final result? They are the best club in the 20th century, no one can compare with Atletico Madrid. Come to think of it, this is actually the difference. Atletico Madrid has no tradition and no deep-rooted things of its own. I can let Atletico Madrid suppress Real Madrid for a period of time. However, if Atletico Madrid does not have its own tradition, Real Madrid will still become worse sooner or later. Better."
Seeing Marriner opening his mouth to say something, Dick shook his hand: "Don't say that hating Real Madrid is Atletico Madrid's tradition Hatred alone is not enough. If you want to become a wealthy club, you must broaden your horizons and know what others say. Real Madrid only has eyes for Real Madrid, but Real Madrid only has eyes for the whole world This is a problem with the structure. The structure is too small to create a big picture. "
Marriner was stunned. He had never considered such an issue before, because he just instinctively hated Real Madrid and hoped that Atletico Madrid could suppress Real Madrid. But what's the use of just suppressing Real Madrid? Real Madrid does not win the championship every year, but there are always other teams that will win the championship. How much can Atletico Madrid win just by suppressing Real Madrid? What's more, most of the time, they are suppressed by the other party
Dick is right, the situation is too small and it is not that easy to compete with Real Madrid.
"Don't discuss this." Dick smiled slightly. He was already thinking about how to integrate the entire Atletico after becoming a shareholder of Atletico. Cruyff could use twenty years to create Barcelona's unparalleled dominance. Then you can do it yourself, and you can also let Atletico create its own tradition!
Now he has no authority, but with shares, he can naturally make the entire team, including the entire youth system, move according to his will. After becoming a shareholder, he will naturally gain greater power.
Of course, this is something to talk about later. No matter how eager for quick success, Dick must strive for victory in these two games. Results in the Champions League are the last word. If he can beat Real Madrid, then Dick's status will rise again. At that time, the club should have more control over the team and have better confidence.
"The only thing I'm worried about now is that if we win the next round of the league, Real Madrid will basically have no hope of winning the championship. At that time, Bosque may justifiably give up a round of the league to fight us. No, but if I give up the game I can't do this kind of thing. Giving up all the time will lower the team's morale." Dick said with some annoyance, which was also what he was thinking about these days. , if Real Madrid sees hope of winning the league, then in the games before the start of the Champions League, they will probably continue to compete in the league with all their strength to maintain pressure on Atletico Madrid. In fact, this is beneficial to Atletico Madrid, because they may meet Against a weaker Real Madrid. However, if a certain league game is abandoned, will Atletico Madrid's recently high morale be affected? Dick had to think about this.
"Then we won't give up. Even under equal circumstances, can't we beat Real Madrid? Since we can double beat Real Madrid in the league, we will definitely be able to beat Real Madrid in the knockout rounds!" Marina is full of confidence. said.
"It's a layman's idea, but I like your idea." Dick laughed. Although there is no inevitable connection between beating Real Madrid twice and defeating Real Madrid in the knockout round, at this time, This kind of confidence and momentum can bring many benefits.
"Then we will go out with all our strength in the next round of the league and maintain the condition of the main players! If you want to rest, the champion?There are still ten days before the start, which is enough for them to rest. If Real Madrid loses their confidence, they will lose their confidence. Anyway, under the same conditions, we are not afraid of them either! "Dick waved his hand and said firmly.
On April 14, in the 34th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid faced Sevilla at home, Real Madrid challenged Osasuna away, and Valencia challenged Mallorca away.
Three teams with a chance to win the championship face three mid-table teams.
The result of this game surprised many people.

After consecutive victories, Real Madrid and Valencia finally failed to hold on. Atletico Madrid's league championship has almost been won!
"Bosque is good, really good. He is using this method to prove that the current Real Madrid players have big physical problems and cannot continue to move forward in two-line operations. In this way, they will send out players in the next game. It is forgivable to use substitutes to deal with opponents But our players are starting to get tired. Otherwise, we should have been able to win the last round of the league. It is a pity. If we win, we can win the league championship. Got it four rounds early.¡±
"Nine points and four rounds, this advantage is already huge. Without a miracle, it is almost impossible for Valencia to catch up with us. There is no need for us to be anxious." Marina seemed very open-minded.
"Real Madrid has officially withdrawn from the championship! Of course, Valencia's situation is not very good. They dropped the chain when they should least have dropped the chain. Now Atletico Madrid is only one victory away from winning the championship! Although they have recently They lost a lot of points in the league due to the distraction of the Champions League, but the huge advantages accumulated in the early stage still give them a great advantage. The next four rounds of the league will not cause too much trouble, but will attract people's attention.

Real Madrid¡¯s advantage lies in their experience, and Atletico Madrid¡¯s advantage lies in their overall strength. Real Madrid has countless experience of playing in the Champions League semi-finals, and Atletico Madrid can seize the weakness of Real Madrid's central defender.
