Chapter 889 The future is in the Premier League
Atletico Madrid ended Malaga's five-game winning streak and also ushered in a five-game winning streak. At the beginning of the league, Atletico Madrid once won six consecutive victories, and then in the seventh round because of Siqueira's red card finally forced Atletico Madrid to stop the winning streak.
After the match, Lin Dong was once again voted the best player in the game. Well, it can't be said again. Since Lin Dong transferred to Atletico Madrid, the best player in the game has rarely fallen into the hands of others.
Of course, Lin Dong won the best player in the game based on his strength, so his Atletico Madrid teammates were not jealous. After all, Lin Dong's popularity in Atletico Madrid was quite good in private.
After joining Atletico Madrid for two seasons, Lin Dong also had conflicts with Costa. In the eyes of Atletico Madrid teammates and even many people, Costa was blamed for this conflict.
Atletico Madrid has also brought in many new players this season, and Lin Dong has been getting along very well with these new players. Lin Dong was considered difficult by many people before. The main reason is that he dared to confront Ronaldo.
In fact, everyone knows what kind of personality Ronaldo is, but he can't bear Ronaldo's fame and high status. He is one of the two best football players today.
But now the best players have become three, and Lin Dong this season is even better than Ronaldo and Messi, it is like a bug.
In the 28 rounds of the league, 2.3 goals were scored. What a BUG statistic, with an average of [-] goals per game, better and more crazy than last season.
In the UEFA Champions League, Lin Dong also scored 9 goals in four rounds, and the number of goals scored reached 2.2. In addition to scoring goals, Lin Dong also assisted a lot. Currently, he has 4 assists in the league and 2 in the Champions League.
In addition to the stats, Lin Dong's role in the team is also irreplaceable. In terms of offense, Lin Dong can become the fulcrum of the striker and can support the team's offense.This is also the reason why Lin Dong has a high evaluation and is so valuable. In addition to scoring goals, Lin Dong's tactical role is also obvious.
Mourinho is particularly impressed by this point. In the past summer, Chelsea was the most enthusiastic suitor of Lin Dong. Among them, the Russian oligarchs valued it, but it was more due to Mourinho's tactical needs.
Mourinho's tactics are particularly dependent on the position of the center forward. This can be seen from Mourinho's return to Chelsea. After pursuing Lin Dong to no avail, Mourinho finally brought Drogba back to Stamford Bridge.
Even Mourinho couldn’t help feeling a little bit of regret after Atletico Madrid won the Triple Crown last season. Lin Dong’s performance is obvious to all, and the biggest contributor to Atletico Madrid’s Triple Crown is Lin Dong. Mourinho would definitely think that if he hadn’t compromised and abandoned Lin Dong at the time, he would also be able to win the third Champions League now, and it would still be Chelsea, which is of great significance to him.
Although Mourinho became famous in Porto, it was Chelsea who really made him known to the world. During his years at Chelsea, Mourinho went from a young champion coach to a real top coach.
Even now, Mourinho still has not given up his plan to bring Lin Dong to Stamford Bridge, because in the eyes of a madman, Atletico Madrid's background is not enough to keep a player like Lin Dong.
Moreover, Mourinho also knows Lin Dong. It is impossible for an ambitious player like Lin Dong to die in Atletico Madrid. The Premier League is the first league in Europe, and the attention is still in La Liga.
Indeed, La Liga has Real Madrid and Barcelona, two of the top giants in Europe, and even the most luxurious team in football today, but La Liga only depends on these two, and the overall competitiveness cannot be compared with the Premier League.
This is also the root of the Premier League becoming the number one league in Europe. Compared with other major leagues, there are only two or three giants, but the Premier League is fighting for hegemony.
The traditional giants include Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, the emerging giants Chelsea, Manchester City, which has risen after the local tyrants took over in the past few years, and Tottenham, which is capable of competing for the championship, is really lively.
This is also the reason why Mourinho chose to return to the Premier League. Compared with other leagues, the Premier League not only attracts attention, but also is more challenging. Mourinho is a master who is unwilling to be lonely, and Lin Dong is also the same.
Therefore, Mourinho felt that Lin Dong would definitely come to the Premier League, and what he had to do was to let Lin Dong play under his own account. After all, Lin Dong's performance was terrifying.
Of course, all this takes time. At least Lin Dong will stay at Atletico Madrid this season. After the match against Malaga, the Atletico Madrid players don't have any time to rest, because the fifth round of the Champions League group stage is coming soon.
That's not right, Atletico Madrid has already ensured the appearance of the group, and there is no suspense even if the group is the first. In addition, the opponent is still not strong Olympiacos, so Simeone did not have the main force in this game.
For this game, Olympiacos originally had hope. Atletico Madrid has already appeared in the group, and even secured the first place in the group. This game is actually useless for Atletico Madrid.
But when he saw Atletico Madrid's starting roster, the Olympiacos coach's heart sank to the bottom. It is true that Atletico Madrid has many substitute players, but on the front line, the most dreaded name is still there.
This game is indeed not very important to Atletico Madrid, but even so, Simeone still let Lin Dong start. Naturally, he did so because of the Golden Globe Award, but Simeone only gave Lin Dong half-time.
Half time was enough for Lin Dong. Only 8 minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid broke the score and the scorer was Lin Dong.
Saul splits from the center, Cerci breaks through from the side and then makes a pass. In the small penalty area, Lin Dongli kicks Botia to grab a point. The ball bounces on the lawn and bounces into the Olympiacos goal. Atletico Madrid 1:0.
The first goal came very early, but Atletico Madrid's second goal was delayed. From the 9th minute No. 40 to the second minute, although Atletico Madrid played with Olympiacos during this period, they shot a lot.
It's still from the wing, and even the way of scoring is similar, but this time it's a different side, and it's not Cerci who sent the assist. Ansaldi inserted a cross from the bottom to the bottom, and Lin Dong grabbed a shot from the penalty area. Atletico Madrid rewritten the score to 2:0.
This was also the final score of the first half. When the intermission came out, Lin Dong was already on the bench, and Raul Garcia replaced Lin Dong to partner with Griezmann.
However, Raul Garcia was not included in Atletico Madrid's goal list in the second half. It was Griezmann who scored first in the second half, and then Godin relied on a corner kick to rewrite the score to 4:0.
But the final score of this game was fixed at 6:0. At the No.80 point, Chelsea ushered in his first goal in Atletico Madrid, and at the last moment, Saul's long-range shot unexpectedly scored a goal.
