Chapter 384
Against Rennes in the sixth round of the Europa League, Atletico Madrid, who had already qualified ahead of schedule, sent a substitute lineup.Simeone even transferred a few young people from the youth team to let them feel the atmosphere of the competition.

For Atletico Madrid in the past, the Europa League was already considered a "big competition".But the fiery performance in the first half of this year has made everyone look forward to Atletico Madrid's performance in the Champions League next year.

Atletico Madrid, currently at the top of the standings, if nothing happens and plays normally, even if they can't win the league championship, they can at least enter the Champions League.The Champions League is different from the Europa League. It will not give you the opportunity to train your troops like playing Rennes today.

Atletico Madrid lacks experience in the Champions League. Even if the strength is here, they may not even qualify for the group stage.

So next season, every game will be a tough battle. The current personnel alone is not enough. At least some players who can stand up when the team is facing the underdogs are needed, so that the main force can get a full rest.

So Leon and the others saw a group of little guys they didn't know much about fighting on the court. The result is self-evident, no matter how weak Rennes is, it is impossible to lose to this group of young people whose average age is less than 23 years old.

The score of 1:3 is not embarrassing. The important thing is that the main players have been rested, so Simeone simply commented on the team's conceded goals and spent a lot of time to appease them.

After all, not every season can sell the core of the team at a high price like this summer, and then use a higher price to buy better players.Youth training is the foundation of Atletico Madrid, and the future depends on this group of young people.

One of them, a young man named Saul Niguez, was outstanding and scored the team's only goal.

And when the team was behind, the little guy kept encouraging his teammates, and his mental attributes were not bad. He has already entered Simeone's observation list, and I believe he will appear in the team's first team in a short time.

Losing to Rennes is harmless, and Atletico Madrid is still the first in the group.

Returning to the league, Atletico Madrid will continue to stay at home against the visiting Real Betis.

The Spanish league is divided into factions, which can sometimes be heard from the team name.

Real Madrid, Real Betis, Real Espanyol, Real Sociedad, do you dare to make this name more obvious?

In addition to these younger brothers, the relationship between Real Madrid, Getafe and Malaga is also very good.When these two teams faced Real Madrid, let alone a win, even a draw, they felt that they were not righteous enough.

Real Madrid has younger brothers, so naturally Barcelona also has them.Levante, Sevilla, Villarreal, and even Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have a good relationship. After all, "the enemy of an enemy is a friend." Both teams hate Real Madrid, so naturally they have a good personal relationship.

But that was in the past. In recent years, especially this year, Atletico Madrid's strength has grown significantly, and it has begun to threaten the status of Barcelona. The relationship between the two clubs has become delicate.

Atletico Madrid, unlike the two leaders, has its own faction, so there are a few games that will become very difficult to play.

Just like now, Atletico Madrid leads Real Madrid by 4 points, and immediately ushered in a strong resistance from Real Betis.

Atletico Madrid, who have always fought back against others, looked at Betis, who was surrounded by everyone in the penalty area, feeling a little helpless.

Calderon booed tens of thousands of people, but failed to inspire Betis.Their players are like fearless fighters, using their flesh and blood to block the goal, even if they are kicked, they will not expose the opening of the goal.

Atletico Madrid bombarded Betis' goal in the first 70 minutes, hitting 31 goals, but nothing was achieved.

Simeone has been looking at the stadium with a bewildered expression. Is this damn player dying?A ball with a big head greets him, and uses his body to block it without even frowning?
You are too fearless, right?
In desperation, Simeone could only listen to Boggs's suggestion, and let Godin, Miranda and others rush up, block the door, right, then smash you to death with a header!

Not to mention, it was really effective, and the goal came immediately.

"Godin's header! It was confiscated by Betis goalkeeper Custo! Custo threw the ball into the midfield! Huh? Santa Cruz caught the ball! Atletico Madrid has only one Felipe Luis defending behind! Betis' counterattack is coming!"

Unable to attack for a long time, and both central defenders went up, Atletico Madrid did not notice that their defense had become so empty for a while. When Santa Cruz and Eisbaria counterattacked, Simeone realized that there were only Courtois and Luiz behind them!

"Go back quickly! Stop them!" Simeone's hairstyle was messed up because of his anxiety, with strands of hair hanging down, looking a little embarrassed.

"Santa Cruz give the ball to Esparlia! Betis 10 open the space! Through! Luiz can't recover! Let's see if Courtois can save the world!"

The answer is no, Santa Cruz passed Courtois and pushed the ball into the empty goal. Calderon was dead silent!
Leon rubbed his eyes in disbelief. In 90 minutes, Atletico Madrid fell behind 0:1? !
"This is Real Betis' second shot of the game! Santa Cruz took advantage of the anxious mentality of the Atletico Madrid players! A successful counterattack!"

"Injury time is only 1 minute! Because most of the second half was dominated by Atletico Madrid and Betis defended! So the game did not have a few timeouts! Let's see! The Betis coach is about to make a substitution!"

Simeone yelled at the Betis bench: "Delaying time?! Dirty tactics!"

However, these curses did not change anything, and Betis successfully held the lead.

When the referee blew the end-of-game whistle, Caesar angrily kicked the ball into the stands, and it didn't feel good to suffocate the bus.

In particular, Real Madrid beat Sevilla 6:2 in this round, so that the points gap between the two teams has become 1 point again.

And Barcelona also caught up. Their current record is 10 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, with 35 points, only 3 points behind Atletico Madrid, and they can recover in one game.

On the scorer list, Messi dominates the list with 21 goals, Ronaldo ranks second with 19 goals, and Caesar ranks third with 18 goals.You know, the league has only passed 17 rounds, and the first round has been postponed. The horrible scoring rate of these three players has shocked fans all over the world.

Are Caesar and Ronaldo going to challenge for 40 goals in a single season this season after breaking through the 50-goal mark last season?

At the rate they're scoring goals, this trio is more than capable of doing it.

Immediately at this time, fans from other countries jumped out and said sourly that "La Liga's defense is too weak". This is not unreasonable, and Caesar himself has a deep understanding.

Especially when facing underdogs, except for the outliers like Real Betis, the defensive pressure brought to him by other teams is indeed not great.
