The aftermath of Atletico Madrid's 4:3 home defeat against Real Madrid has not disappeared in China, and Gao Zheng's journey will continue.

After the game against Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid will usher in a game against Celta Vigo after a week off.

However, in this game they will face a situation where there is no head coach on the scene.

Their coach Diego Simeone was banned by the La Liga Disciplinary Committee for his controversial and indecent celebration after Gao Zheng's goal.

Although Simeone later explained that his action was aimed at anyone, he just wanted to express his team's kindness.

If anyone was offended by the celebration, he offered to apologize for it.

But it is obviously too late for him to say this now.

The overwhelming criticism of him in the media seems to be able to restore some of Real Madrid's disadvantages after losing.

Once public opinion is formed, it is difficult to reverse it.

In the end, the La Liga Disciplinary Committee complied with public opinion and announced the suspension of Simeone for one league game.

Executed in the next round against Celta Vigo.

It really made Gao Zheng's original guess come true-Atletico Madrid must learn how to play games without the coach's sideline command...

Although Gao Zheng scored a goal against Celta Vigo, he failed to prevent the team from losing 1:2 away.

Simeone's absence from the sidelines really affected the team's performance, and the last game against Real Madrid was too fierce, and three players were injured during the game. Except for Godin's comeback in this game, Cork and Saul didn't even make the squad.

The failure of this game allowed Atletico Madrid to be opened up by Barcelona.

In the same league round, Real Madrid and Barcelona both won the game, Real Madrid beat Deportivo 2-0 at home, while Barcelona swept Levante 5-0 at home.

Real Madrid are now top of the table with 57 points, followed by Barcelona with 56 points.

Atletico Madrid is third with 53 points.

The fourth place is Valencia, they currently have 47 points.

As the defending champion, Atletico Madrid's goal this season is definitely to continue to maintain the honor of the league title.

But now it seems that it is very difficult for them to win the league this season.

In fact, after Atletico Madrid lost the UEFA Champions League last season, there was a voice that felt sorry for them, thinking that this is Atletico Madrid’s best chance. Failure to win the UEFA Champions League this season will cause the loss of outstanding players and also It will greatly hit the hearts of the remaining players.

So it is very difficult to expect Atletico Madrid to achieve another glory. The La Liga champion and the Champions League runner-up in the 2013-2014 season are the pinnacle of their team.

Therefore, it seems that their failure in the Champions League final is so regrettable-they missed the opportunity to make history, and they also missed history.

No one is optimistic about Atletico Madrid after this.

Even with Gao Zheng's joining, it's the same.

There is evidence that although Atletico Madrid remained unbeaten against Real Madrid after Gao Zheng joined, their league ranking is not first, but third, only four points away from Real Madrid, which is the first in the league. Difference.

Why?

Because Simeone's team lost four games.

In the race for the league title, the fewer games you lose, the more advantage you have.

Atlético de Madrid won the La Liga title last season. They lost four games in total after playing 38 games. Now that the league is only halfway through, Simeone's team has lost four games.

It is very difficult to win the championship after losing so much.

After all, their opponents for the league title are Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two "Western Super League" teams.

Looking back, in the 2012-2013 season, Barcelona won the championship with 100 points and only lost two games.

In the 2011-2012 season, Barcelona only lost three games throughout the season and scored a high score of 91 points, but they finally ranked second. The league title belongs to Mourinho's Real Madrid, who scored 121 goals and scored 100 league points. They only lost two games that season.

In the 2010-2011 season, Barcelona won the championship with 96 points and only lost two games. Real Madrid's draw is one less than Barcelona's, but because they lost four games and accumulated 92 points, they were unable to win the championship.

In the 2009-2010 season, Barcelona won the championship with 99 points, just one point short of setting a record of 100 points. They only lost one game that season, with 31 wins, six draws and one loss. Their performance was breathtaking.

And in these seasons, the smallest point difference between the third place and the second place in the league is... zero points. This is the reason why Atletico Madrid broke the "Western Super League duo" pattern last season. The third place is Real Madrid with 87 points , the second place Barcelona is also 87 points.

In other seasons, the minimum point difference between the second place and the third place was nine points, and the maximum point difference was 30 points—how about the "Western Super League"? Real Madrid and Barcelona and the other 18 La Liga teams are not playing in the same league at all.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, in the 14 years, only two teams have broken the monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona on the La Liga title.

One is the "Bat Legion" Valencia at the beginning of the 21st century. Under the leadership of Benitez, this team reached the Champions League final twice, won the league title twice, and also won the UEFA Cup. Created their glorious era.

The other is Simeone's Atletico Madrid "Bed Sheets". Moreover, these two teams trying to break the monopoly are highly similar. At their most glorious time, both won the league championship, won the UEFA Cup, both reached the Champions League final, and both lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final... …

After reaching the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, Valencia inevitably began to go downhill.

History is so similar.

After Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season, it is natural to worry that they will follow in Valencia's footsteps.

This is actually a very natural idea.

Now looking at the situation in the league standings, their worries are not unreasonable.

Even if Atletico Madrid beat Almeria cleanly 3-0 at home in the following league, everyone's views on their prospects in the league this season have not changed.

After all, they can beat Real Madrid 4:3 at home. What's the big deal about beating 16th-ranked Almeria 3:0?

The point is that the battle for the league title is a long process in which one or two wins are negligible, but one or two losses are deadly.

Especially when facing the "Western Super League duo" like Real Madrid and Barcelona.
