Chapter 755 The second champion without real sense
However, Atletico Madrid's celebration is limited to tonight. Of course, this is Atletico Madrid's players, not the fans. After 18 years, they won the Copa del Rey again. The fans have reason to celebrate.

But Atletico Madrid players can't do this, because the league is still going on, and the Champions League semi-finals are coming soon. In this case, how could Atletico Madrid still focus on the Copa del Rey that has ended.

To put it realistically, the Copa del Rey champion is far from being able to compare with the league champion, let alone the European Champions Cup. So after the celebration that night, the Atletico Madrid players immediately cleared up their mood and began to focus back on the league and the Champions League.

And because of the Copa del Rey final, the Marseille schedule will become extremely unfavorable, because the match between Atletico Madrid and Elche, that is, the 34th round of the league, is just two days later, and then they have to prepare for the first round of the semi-final against Chelsea in the middle of the week.

Atletico Madrid also tried to adjust the schedule and move the next league, but was ruthlessly rejected by the Spanish Football Federation.

For this reason, Cerezo almost demolished his office. It is conceivable that the chairman of Atletico Madrid is angry. You must know that Atletico Madrid's further progress in the Champions League is also to win glory for La Liga.

Asking for others is better than asking for oneself. In the case of unreliable external forces, Atletico Madrid can only rely on themselves. So after a day and a half of rest, Atletico Madrid ushered in the game again, ushering in the No.30 four-round match.

In this game, Simeone made a large rotation in the starting lineup. Insua, Jimenez, Miranda and Alderweireld formed the defense line. Jimenez ushered in the first start this season.

The midfield is even more exaggerated. Rodriguez, Diego, Suarez, and Sosa form the Atletico Madrid midfield. Fortunately, Simeone rented Diego and Sosa during the winter break.

On the front line, Costa returned from injury, and partnered with Lin Dong. Lin Dong's physical fitness is not the slightest problem, and Lin Dong's appearance can be regarded as insurance for Atletico Madrid.

Simeone is still very foresight, and Elche also saw Atletico Madrid's point. From the very beginning, he chose to be tough with Atletico Madrid, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of meat from Atletico Madrid.

However, it is also understandable that Elche is currently at the bottom of the standings and has not yet escaped the relegation zone. In this case, Elche must work hard. Now that he just meets Atletico Madrid, who is almost a pure substitute, Elche will naturally have ideas.

In the first ten minutes of the game, the two sides fought very fiercely, and the midfield became the main battlefield in these ten minutes. Both sides had to rely on long passes to find the striker if they wanted to break into the opponent's penalty area.

Atletico Madrid's advantage in this regard is too great. With Lin Dong's almost bug-like existence, Atletico Madrid's long pass can be successful almost every time.

It's just that Atletico Madrid's shooting was a bit horrible, or Costa was too lonely. In the opening 15 minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid hit the goal with a total of four kicks, and Costa hit three kicks alone.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. After partnering with Raul Garcia and then returning to partner with Costa, Lin Dong's inner dissatisfaction with Costa is almost at the peak. Therefore, in the following time, Lin Dong will no longer pass the ball to Costa.

No. In the 201st minute, Lin Dong received a straight long pass from Diego, took possession of the ball, forcibly turned around and rushed to the penalty area of ​​Elche, and then shot directly from outside the penalty area.

Four minutes later, it was still Lin Dong who stopped the ball in his chest and tapped his heel lightly. He used his strong body to complete the turn again, and used his speed to rush into the penalty area of ​​Elche.

However, Elche's goalkeeper made a world-class save. Lin Dong's shot from the dead corner of the penalty area was stabbed out of the bottom line by Jag Fei with one hand.

"Oh~~~ There seems to be something wrong with Atletico Madrid's striker." On the sidelines, Simeone naturally noticed Lin Dong's dissatisfaction immediately.

Well, not to mention Simeone, even Atletico Madrid players found Lin Dong's dissatisfaction. As for Costa, his face was also quite ugly.

Every time they attack, the first choice of the Atletico Madrid players to pass the ball is Lin Dong. Therefore, in these two attacks, Costa has been raising his hands to ask for the ball, but the ball is always passed to Lin Dong. From this, we can also see the status of the two in the team.

The game will not be terminated because of anyone's dissatisfaction on the court. No. 30 minutes, Elche scored into the Atletico Madrid penalty area, and Marquez tested Courtois' concentration with a strong shot.

Atletico Madrid's attack was still Lin Dong, but this time Elche failed to stop Lin Dong, and it was still a long shot from outside the penalty area.

Diego sent a precise kick pass, Lin Dong carried Elche's central defender Botia and blasted the goal, and then the ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal like a shell, and the Elche goalkeeper didn't even have time to make a save against the heavy artillery.

With Lin Dong's goal, the game entered the rhythm of Atletico Madrid again, and then things became easier. At the last moment of the first half, Costa also scored a goal.

However, this was Costa's first kick after No. 20 minutes. In the past [-] minutes, after Lin Dong didn't play for Costa, the Atletico Madrid striker hardly received a pass from his teammates.

After a two-goal lead, Simeone replaced Lin Dong at halftime, and Adrian Lopez came off the bench. Obviously, this is Simeone preparing for the midweek Champions League.

As for this game?Elche in the second half did not pose any threat to Atletico Madrid, especially after the Elche full-back received the second yellow card in the half-time shortly after the start of the second half, Elche completely lost hope for playing one less player.

Atletico Madrid also took the opportunity to expand their lead. Miranda scored with a header. Relying on a corner kick, the Atletico Madrid center back rewritten the score to 3:0 with a header.

With Atletico Madrid's victory, the La Liga championship competition finally came to an end. After defeating Elche, Atletico Madrid's points in the league reached 93, while Barcelona, ​​which lost in the last round, currently only has 80 points, 13 minutes behind Atletico Madrid.

As for Real Madrid, even if Real Madrid wins this round of the league, there is a full 1 points difference with Atletico Madrid. Regardless of the difference between the two teams' direct confrontation or the number of goals scored, Atletico Madrid has completely beaten Real Madrid this season, not to mention that Real Madrid was tied by their opponents in the second day's game. After this round of draw, Real Madrid is still [-] point behind Barcelona in points.

This is actually a very simple math problem. There are still four rounds in the league, but even if Atletico Madrid loses all four rounds, it will be one point more than Barcelona, ​​which won all four rounds.
