The aftermath of Atletico Madrid's 4-3 home victory over Real Madrid has not disappeared in China, and Gao Zheng's journey has to continue.

After playing against Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid will have a week off and will have a match against Vigo Celta.

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

Their head coach Diego Simone was suspended from the La Liga Discipline Committee for his controversial indecent celebration move after Gao Zheng scored.

Although Simeone later explained that his move was targeting anyone, he just wanted to express his team's kindness.

If anyone feels offended by this celebration action, he is willing to apologize for it.

But now his statement is obviously too late.

The media has overwhelmed criticism of him, and it seems that doing so can regain some of the disadvantages of Real Madrid after losing.

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

In the end, the La Liga Discipline Committee followed the public opinion and announced a ban on Simeone for a league match.

Perform in the next round against Vigo Celta.

It really made Gao Zheng’s original guess come true. Atletico Madrid must learn how to play without the head coach on the sidelines...

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

Simeone's absence from the sidelines did affect the team's performance, and the last game against Real Madrid was too fierce, with three players injured in the game. Except for Godin's return in this game, Cork and Saul did not even make the roster.

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

In the same league round, Real Madrid and Barcelona both won the match, with Real Madrid defeating La Coruña 2-0 at home, while Barcelona swept Levante 5-0 at home.

Real Madrid, with fifty-seven points now, and Barcelona followed closely behind with fifty-six points.

Atletico Madrid ranked third with fifty-three points.

The fourth place is Valencia, who currently earns 47 points.

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

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

In fact, after Atletico Madrid lost the Champions League last season, there was a voice that felt sorry for them, believing that this was the best opportunity for Atletico Madrid. Failure to win the Champions League this season will cause outstanding players to be lost and will greatly damage the spirit of the players who stayed.

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

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

No one is optimistic about Atletico Madrid after this.

Even if Gao Zheng joins, that's the case.

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

Why?

Because Simeone's team lost four games.

In the battle for league championships, the fewer games you lose, the more advantage you have.

Atletico Madrid won the La Liga championship last season. They only lost four games in total after playing 38 games. Now the league has only been halfway through, and Simeone's team has lost four games.

It is very difficult to win the championship if you lose so much.

After all, the opponents to compete with them for the league championship are Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two "Swiss Super League" teams.

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

In the 2011-2012 season, Barcelona lost only three games throughout the season and scored a high score of 91 points, but they eventually ranked second. The league championship belonged to Mourinho, Real Madrid, who scored 121 goals and scored 100 points in the league, and 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 was one less than Barcelona, ​​but because they lost four games and accumulated 92 points, they could not win the championship.

In the 2009-2010 season, Barcelona won the championship with 99 points, setting a record of 100 points by one point. That season they only lost one game, with 31 wins, six draws and one loss, and their performance was amazing.

In these seasons, the smallest difference between the third and second place in the league is...zero points, which is the reason why Atletico Madrid broke the "two heroes of the Western Super League" last season. The third place is Real Madrid with 87 points, and Barcelona with 2nd place is also 87 points.

In the other seasons, the smallest difference between the second and third places is nine points, and the largest difference is 30, otherwise how can we say "Swiss Super League"? Real Madrid, Barcelona and the other 18 La Liga teams are not playing the same league at all.

In the 21st century, in the past fourteen years, only two teams have broken the monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona against La Liga Championships.

One is Valencia, the "Bat Legion" in the early 21st century. Under the leadership of Benitez, this team reached the Champions League final twice, won the league championship twice, and won the League Cup championship, creating their glorious era.

The other team is Simeone's Atletico Madrid "Bedsheet Legion". Moreover, these two teams that try to break the monopoly are highly similar. At the most glorious time, they both won the league championship, the League Cup championship, both reached the Champions League final, and both lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final...

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

History is so similar.

After Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season, it naturally made people worry that they would follow in Valencia's footsteps.

This is actually a very natural idea.

Looking at the situation in the league standings now, their worries are quite reasonable.

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

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

The key is that the battle for the league championship is a long process, in which the victory of one or two games is insignificant, but the failure of one or two games is very fatal.
