Chapter 390 is close to the Copa del Rey final
The draw for the Copa del Rey semi-final matchup soon came out.
Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Almeria, these four teams reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Before the draw begins, of course, what people are most concerned about is that Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid may be drawn together to stage the Madrid Derby in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
But in the end, the two Madrid teams staggered, Real Madrid drew Sevilla, Atletico Madrid drew Almería!
Atletico Madrid's signing after entering the quarterfinals has been very good!
The quarter-finals were drawn to Real Betis, allowing Atletico Madrid to pass easily, and the quarter-finals were drawn to Almería, a weak team currently ranked 18th in the league and trapped in the relegation zone!
Of course Gao Bo has nothing to say about drawing such an opponent. It is better to draw Almería than Real Madrid or Sevilla. Although the team’s goal is still the Copa del Rey champion, it can It is better to relax a little bit.
But Gao Bo had nothing to say, the other one still had a lot of words.
"They have good luck! Really, good luck! First they won Real Betis and then Almeria. I am sure that Almeria’s most important task now is to relegation. They will not invest more in the Copa del Rey. That’s why I said that Atletico Madrid had good luck..."
In an interview with the media, Mourinho mocked expressionlessly.
This is a Portuguese who is always attacking.
.....
On January 23, the 20th round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Atletico Gijón away.
At the press conference before the game, Gao Bo was asked about Mourinho's attitude towards complaining.
"Since I know Mourinho, he has been complaining, complaining about the schedule, complaining about the weather, complaining about the turf, complaining about the fans, complaining about the opponent... But for me, I want to complain now. Now, Mourinho thinks that we are lucky to draw Almeria, but in my opinion, Almeria’s strength is still very strong and we need to deal with it seriously. If we are really lucky, we should To be drawn to Real Madrid, at the Bernabéu this season, where I left a very good memory."
The reporters at the scene all laughed-except for the pro-Real Madrid media.
This round of league matches between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid kick-off at the same time. Real Madrid will play Mallorca at home, but Real Madrid’s pre-match press conference was a bit late.
Mourinho naturally saw what Gao Bo said at the press conference.
"What I need to tell Gao Bo is that I am not a complaining head coach, I have two Champions League champions!"
Mourinho looked arrogant.
"For Real Madrid, we are looking forward to the match against Atletico Madrid all the time!!"
Even if there is no direct dialogue, the two Madrid teams are still full of gunpowder.
.....
The twentieth round of the league is not difficult for Atletico Madrid.
Although Gao Bo did some rotations for the Copa del Rey game, Atletico Madrid still defeated Atletico Gijon, currently ranked last in the league, three to one away.
And after this game, the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey followed!
The schedule of La Liga this season is so strange that Gao Bo is somewhat unable to complain.
The game before the Copa del Rey final has been driving fast, but the final has to wait until more than two months before proceeding...
This also makes Atletico Madrid have to make a rotation in response to the dense schedule.
On January 27, the first round of the Copa del Rey semi-final!
Atletico Madrid vs. Almeria at home!
Atletico Madrid has rotated some of the main players, and Almeria actually did not send the main lineup. They are deeply trapped in the relegation zone. For Almeria, league relegation is the top priority.
In the end, there was no suspense in this game. Of course, Almeria would not want to give up. Even if it is not the main lineup, Almeria's players still work very hard.
After all, this is the semi-final of the Copa del Rey!
For Almería's players, the semi-final is the final. Any game to the final, in this kind of game where the winner is determined, then any possibility may happen.
Almeria’s head coach may not have any intentions to fight for the Copa del Rey, but Almeria’s players don’t think so.
Almeria players, who were almost desperate in the game, competed for every goal, fighting hard and running aggressively, resisting the offensive of Atletico Madrid on the road.
As the game progressed, Almería's players became more and more frustrated in the increasingly fierce offensive of Atletico Madrid. They seemed to have become heroes against the big devil, but... seemed very tragic.
In the end, the hero was beaten by the big devil. Atletico Madrid scored two goals in the second half after being adjusted by substitutions, and finally defeated Almeria 2-0.
Although the score of two to zero is not big, it also means that in the second round of the two sides, Atletico Madrid already occupied a great advantage. Almeria was not strong in the first place. This score basically means Madrid. The competitive half stepped into the finals.
The other semi-final was Real Madrid's away game against Sevilla. In the end, Mourinho's team defeated their opponents by a score of one to zero. Real Madrid, who won the away game, basically secured their place in the final.
The two Madrid teams are likely to meet in the final.
Of course, this is just a possibility. Almería and Seville may not have the chance to advance, but the chances are relatively slim.
The second round of the match between the two sides will be a week later, before that, La Liga will play another round of league.
On January 30th, in the twenty-first round of the league, Atletico Madrid played against Athletic Bilbao at home.
Atletico Madrid, in excellent form, met the stubborn resistance of the Bilbao Lions!
Atletico Madrid fell behind for a while, and finally at the very end of the second half, Modric scored to help the team equalize.
Atletico Madrid suffered its second draw of the season.
The fans originally thought that this would be an opportunity for Real Madrid to chase points~EbookFREE.me~ As a result, Mourinho's team lost to Osasuna in a zero to one away game. Instead, Atletico Madrid continued to expand the point difference... ..
The intensive competition of the Copa del Rey has also affected the strength of Atletico Madrid.
