On September 19, the Calderon Stadium was crowded with people.

Amid the overwhelming sound of more than 50,000 bed sheet army fans, Atletico Madrid ushered in the first game of the new season's League Cup, with the opponent being the deputy squad leader of the Danish Premier League, Silkburg.

The last time the Bedsheets team participated in a European competition was in the 199 to 2000 season. They ranked fifth in La Liga. They participated in the League Cup and were finally eliminated by Ligue 1 Lons in the quarterfinals.

Now, after more than a year of separation, the team has made a comeback and has once again competed in the European arena. Atletico Madrid also has high hopes.

Head coach Gao Han was also unscrupulous. At the press conference before the game, he shouted in a rare high-profile manner that the team would end the battle at home, requiring every player to do his best and not take it lightly.

The team was united. From the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid took advantage of the home court to launch an offensive against Silkeburg.

Silkburg has performed poorly in the domestic league this season and has no time to take care of European competitions.

Just six minutes into the opening game, Atletico Madrid was the first to break the goal of Sirkeburg, opening the team's first record.

Afterwards, the Bedbane Legion continued to launch a fierce attack, and Silke Fort retreated completely, but was still unable to stop it. In the 20th and 25th minutes, they conceded two goals in a row, with the goal scorers Torres and Villa respectively.

He led by three goals in the first half, which shows how strong Atletico Madrid's offensive is.

But after the two sides changed sides in the second half, the Bedding Army did not care at all and continued to launch an offensive against Silkeburg. Every player was firmly implementing the strategy of determining the victory and loss formulated by the head coach before the game.

In the 52nd and 69th minutes, Fernando Correa, who was played by Kaka and substitute, scored two goals in a row, and finally locked the score at five to zero.

The five-goal win, and every goal was so exciting that Calderon fans were fascinated by the fans. The wave after wave of offensives made every Bedsheet Legion fan exclaimed.

After the game, both the fans and the media gave Atletico Madrid a high evaluation, believing that although Gao Han's team was playing in European competitions for the first time, their performance was remarkable.

The five-to-zero victory basically announced that Atletico Madrid advanced from the first round of knockout stage in advance.

After playing Sirke Fort, Atletico Madrid rested for two days in Mahada Enda and immediately rushed to the away game to challenge Valladolid.

Valladolid lost to La Coruña away in the first round of the league, but quickly adjusted, tied Valencia at home in the second round, and defeated Malaga two-one away in the third round.

Head coach Pepe Morey is a Catalan, but he has been coaching at Valladolid. In the past decade, he has frequently replaced the assistant coach, second team head coach and first team head coach, and it was not until 2000 that he gained a foothold.

And his best playing style is the defensive tactics of April and May 1st.

This is also the usual style of play for many La Liga teams in recent years, strangling the double midfielder and counterattacking.

At the home court, Pepe Morey did not dare to be careless and still set up a strict defense and waited for the effort to defend and counterattack.

Gao Han had long expected that his opponent would adopt such a style of play, but he was not afraid at all.

Atletico Madrid, who plays away, still adopts high-level pressure and oppression, with mid- and back-court ball control tactics, patiently looking for loopholes in the opponent.

Finally, with zero to zero in the first half, Atletico Madrid finally seized an opportunity in the 61st minute of the second half. After the frontcourt offense was set, midfielder Marcos Senna inserted and shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area, piercing the goal of Spanish goalkeeper Ricardo.

This is also Marcos Senna's first La Liga goal!

This goal broke the deadlock on the court, but did not rewrite the game situation, and Valladolid still defended the goal.

Gao Han quickly made adjustments, replaced Torres with high center forward Kiko and replaced Kaka who fought continuously with Roberto. The team's tactics immediately became 4231, with Villa and Dario Serner as the two wings, Deco went up to play the front midfielder, and Zavey Alonso and Marcos Senna formed two midfielder.

This adjustment worked quickly, and Atletico Madrid once again launched a tide of offensive.

In the 78th minute, Serna made a cross from the right and accurately assisted the penalty area. With the support of Samsung's confrontation card, Kiko squeezed out the opponent's central defender in front of the goal, hitting a head hammer, 2-0!

This score has always been maintained until the end of the game, and Atletico Madrid won four consecutive La Liga wins!

Since Vigo Celta also defeated Real Mallorca 2-0 in the fourth round, Atletico Madrid's lead is still two points.

…………

…………

Three days later, Denmark, Sirkeburg.

With the first round of 5-0 wins and basically advanced early, Gao Han arranged rotation and substitute players including Kiko, Fernando Correa, Gabi, Aguilera, Roberto, etc., but he still defeated Silkeburg one-zero away with Kiko's final decision.

The total score of the two rounds was 6-0, and Atletico Madrid successfully advanced to the second round.

After the first round of knockout rounds, UEFA immediately organized a draw, and Atletico Madrid drew Warsaw Legia from the Polish League.

Judging from the strength of the League Cup opponents, those who can truly pose a threat to Atletico Madrid may have to wait until the third round or even the fourth round of the knockout round.

Time is entering October.

On October 1st, it was China's National Day, and Atletico Madrid welcomed its fifth round of La Liga rival Las Palmas at home.

After experiencing an arduous offensive and defensive battle, the bed sheet army defeated the opponent one to zero with Kaka's key final victory.

The two consecutive week of double games, coupled with the popularity of the Gemini shooter who has been in the limelight since the season, has caused many media outside the world to speculate that Atletico Madrid's condition will gradually decline, especially in the next two games.

Zambrano even made a bold judgment in his column that Atletico Madrid will lose in the next two league rounds.

What surprised everyone was that on October 4, Atletico Madrid challenged Athletic Bilbao of Heinx away.

The Basque Lions have been shining in the last two rounds. They first defeated La Coruña 2-1 away, and then drew Valencia 2-2 at home, and twice won the championship team. Athletic Bilbao remained unbeaten and had an impressive record.

In this round, Heinx is full of confidence and ambition to make three-pointers against the leader Atletico Madrid.

The famous German coach adopted the overall pressing and oppression tactics that Athletic Bilbao is best at home, hoping to use the advantages of the home court to suppress the bed sheet army, but it is obvious that the tactics that can work against both La Coruña and Valencia suddenly failed when facing Atletico Madrid.

Although Athletic Bilbao caused quite a lot of trouble for Atletico Madrid in the first thirty-five minutes of the game and did not give the bedsheets the opportunity to attack effectively, as their physical fitness declined, it was difficult for them to maintain this oppressive situation.

Finally, in the 38th minute of the first half and the 43rd minute, using the opportunity to counterattack after two offenses in the frontcourt, Villa won two consecutive games, helping Atletico Madrid lead with two goals and enter the second half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Athletic Bilbao quickly regrouped and counterattacked wildly in the second half. He quickly used high center forward Urses to score an equalizer, chasing the score one-to-two.

But Atletico Madrid was also not vague. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Athletic Bilbao's counterattack and advance, Torres and Villa each scored one goal, rewriting the score to four-one.

Especially Villa, in the 75th minute, he picked two players in the penalty area and shot with his left foot, scoring his first hat-trick in La Liga!

Four to one, the game ended with this score.

Although this is a big victory from the score, in fact, it was not easy to win during the game, and the team consumed a lot, which directly led to the team's condition not being ideal when they were at home and faced Alaves three days later.

The game was stalemate until the 84th minute, and finally Atletico Madrid forced a breakthrough through the opponent's defense with a personal flash at Kaka's critical moment and assisted Kiko to score the final goal.

One to zero, Atletico Madrid scored three points again.

This also made all the Bedsheets Legion fans who came to Calderon Stadium to watch the game breath a sigh of relief.

But then, they celebrated wildly!

…………

…………

Seven consecutive victories!

Atletico Madrid shocked the entire Spanish football world!

In La Liga history, the start of the seven consecutive victories was second only to Real Madrid's eight consecutive victories in the 1961-1962 season.

That was the most brilliant period of five consecutive Champions League titles in Real Madrid's history.

Gao Han was very satisfied with the seven consecutive wins at the beginning, but what was even more satisfied was the team's ranking in the standings.

Atletico Madrid still firmly occupies the league leader, earning 21 points in seven consecutive victories, which is well deserved.

Barcelona ranks second in the league.

Lexacci's team won three consecutive victories after winning one and two draws in the first three rounds, but lost to La Coruña 1-2 away in the seventh round, and finally won the second place in the league with 14 points in seven rounds.

Both have four wins, two draws and one loss, and La Coruna, who has 14 points, ranks third in the league because of goal difference.

Next are three teams that scored thirteen points, namely Vigo Celta, Villarrel and Valencia.

There are four other teams who scored eleven points, namely Alaves, Sevilla, Zaragoza and Osasuna.

Espanyol ranked 11th in the league with ten points, and Athletic Bilbao ranked 12th in the league with nine points.

Real Madrid, which was known as the number one favorite to win the championship before the season, ranked 13th in the league after the seven rounds. Although it has successfully escaped from the relegation zone, it still shocks people.

However, what really surprised people is the Real Mallorca.

Aragonese's team only scored four points in the first seven rounds of the league, winning one draw and losing five losses. This report card is indeed a bit surprising compared to the third in the league last season.

But the most surprising and even shocking thing is the leader Atletico Madrid.

Originally, all media thought that after three consecutive weeks of double-front battles, the Bedsheet Legion would definitely fall from the leader.

But without expectation, not only did it not fall, it further expanded its leading advantage.
