This season, Atletico Madrid's performance has been quite commendable. As a La Liga powerhouse, their results have indeed shown a noticeable decline in recent years. However, during the summer transfer window, Atletico coach Diego Simeone insisted on spending 90 million euros to bring in Alvarez as the team's ace player. Now it seems that Alvarez has indeed lived up to his price and ability. In the match where Atletico Madrid narrowly defeated Osasuna 1-0, Alvarez scored a decisive goal, helping Atletico secure victory. After this win, Atletico also clinched the La Liga mid-season championship title, leading Real Madrid by one point. This achievement has left Atletico very satisfied. Alvarez has scored 13 goals so far this season, making him the top scorer for Atletico. It must be said that this signing has been incredibly cost-effective for Atletico. Despite experiencing a prolonged slump at the start of the season, Alvarez has since integrated into the team's tactical system and started scoring goals consistently. In the 11 games where Alvarez has scored this season, Atletico has won 9 of them. It can be said that Alvarez is the hero behind the team's victories, repeatedly helping Atletico secure crucial matches. He has successfully justified his status as the summer transfer window's top signing, leaving Manchester City regretting letting him go. Since Alvarez's departure, Manchester City's attack has lacked a strong firepower point, diminishing their offensive threat. Consequently, their performance has significantly declined this season, making it not easy for Pep Guardiola to find a suitable replacement at the same price.

In the Spanish Super Cup final held on January 13th, Beijing time, Real Madrid suffered a 2-5 defeat against Barcelona, missing out on the championship. In La Liga, Real Madrid also received bad news as Atletico Madrid's victory saw them take over the top spot in the league. Atletico Madrid's winning streak has been beneficial for the Argentine national team, as several Argentine internationals, including Diego Simeone's son, are part of their squad. Argentina has hit the jackpot! Simeone's son shines, aiding Atletico Madrid to 14 straight wins, and North America adds reinforcements. During the home match against Osasuna, Atletico Madrid scored in the 55th minute. They executed a tactical corner kick, with Griezmann delivering the ball into the penalty area. Lenglet headed it to Alvarez, who easily found the net, securing three points for Atletico. Currently, Atletico leads La Liga by one point over Real Madrid, ranking first. Barcelona trails Atletico by six points in third place, while Athletic Bilbao is eight points behind Atletico in fourth. Diego Simeone, the Atletico Madrid coach and former Argentine international midfielder, has made 102 appearances for the Argentine national team. During his playing career, he won two Copa America titles and one Confederations Cup. There are currently six Argentine internationals in the Atletico squad: Alvarez, Correa, De Paul, Molina, Musso, and Simeone's third son, Giuliano Simeone. The presence of these World Cup-winning Argentine elements has brought good fortune to Atletico, who have achieved an unprecedented 14 consecutive victories since November last year, setting a new club record. The 22-year-old Giuliano Simeone has…

January 12th Selected 5 Football Matches Analysis: Lens, Angers, Barcelona, Werder Bremen, Atletico Madrid Current situation: Le Havre's recent form has been very poor, with the team suffering consecutive defeats and no morale to speak of. On the other hand, Lens' form has also declined recently, but their determination to score points remains significant. Considering both teams' strength and current form, Lens is still expected to win this match.‌ Recommendation: Negative Number of Goals: 2, 3 Score: 0-2, 1-2 Angers currently ranks higher than Montpellier in the league table and naturally hopes to expand their advantage in this game. Comparing the recent form of both sides, Montpellier has not won a single game in their last six matches, while Angers are currently on a two-game winning streak. Considering Angers' better form, we favor the away team to remain unbeaten.‌ Recommendation: Draw or Loss Number of Goals: 2, 4 Score: 2-2, 1-1 This match is likely to be quite exciting. Overall, Barcelona's recent form has not been as stable as Real Madrid's, and today's Real Madrid is clearly the more popular side. However, since the quality of this cup competition is limited, and with Real Madrid having relatively high expectations, we lean more towards a market-oriented perspective and favor Barcelona to directly defeat Real Madrid within regular time.‌ Recommendation: Draw or Loss Number of Goals: 3, 5 Score: 1-2, 2-3 Other Matches:‌ 007 RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen Recommendation: Draw or Loss Number of Goals: 2, 3 Score: 1-1, 1-2 009 Atletico Madrid vs Osasuna Recommendation: Win, or Win with Handicap…

Today's Football Double: Arsenal vs Manchester United + Atletico Madrid vs Osasuna Arsenal vs Manchester United - FA Cup Match Time: January 12, 2025, 23:00 Arsenal has maintained a stable competitive state this season and is currently ranked second in the Premier League. In terms of recent form, Arsenal lost 0-2 to Newcastle in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final, failing to gain an advantage; after the defeat, Arsenal's unbeaten record of 17 consecutive home games was ended, which was their first home defeat since losing 0-2 to Villa on April 14 last year. It should be noted that Arsenal has only managed one high-scoring result in their last six home games, indicating a relatively conservative approach at home. Looking at the head-to-head record, Arsenal has won six out of the last eight encounters with a win rate of 75%, giving them a significant psychological advantage. Manchester United's overall performance this season has been relatively poor, with a record of 6 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses, placing them 13th in the Premier League, now considered a mid-to-lower table team. In terms of recent form, Manchester United drew 2-2 with Liverpool in the "Double Red" match, temporarily halting their four-game losing streak in all competitions, but there is still room for improvement in their ability to win. Defensively, Manchester United has conceded 13 goals in their last five games, with a defense as fragile as paper, lacking any defensive action.

That match was more dramatic than a TV series, with plot twists happening faster than chewing gum. The last-minute goal was so thrilling that it made you want to stab your TV screen with a knife. Yes, we're talking about the top-of-the-table clash between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in La Liga. Everyone was discussing this decisive battle before the game, fully aware of its significance. Atletico Madrid had a game in hand; if they could defeat Barcelona, they would directly dethrone them and seize the top spot in La Liga.

With two games in hand, Real Madrid were also waiting for their opportunity. All eyes were on the Camp Nou, Barcelona's home ground. It must be mentioned that Barcelona's recent form has indeed been impressive, especially in attack. However, the biggest problem was clear - without the support of their key player, Yamar, Flick had to readjust his tactics. Everyone knows that Barcelona's attack relies on Yamar's performance, which can sometimes be like a ticking bomb, ready to explode at any moment. But today, he couldn't play, making people worry about Barcelona's attacking prowess. As for Atletico, under Simeone's leadership, their defense has always been solid. In this match, they still focused on defense, playing it safe. From the start of the game, Barcelona seemed to have an accelerator, showing no mercy. The frontline duo of Pedri and Gavi were like a golden…

"Can the 19-year-old Chinese youngster Du Yuezheng establish himself in Europe's top football arena?" This is a question that many people are interested in. In the third round of the King's Cup, when Atletico Madrid faced Segunda Division team Marbella, this young man welcomed his own moment of glory - coming off the bench in the 84th minute. Although he did not directly change the course of the game, these short ten minutes were enough to give people hope. As a player who once stood out in the CSL, his appearance marked that the young generation of Chinese football is trying to open a new door.

Chinese football has once again stepped into the spotlight with the potential transfer rumors of 27-year-old Chinese forward Zhang Yuning to La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid sweeping through the sports circle. Is this an opportunity to change history, or just a fleeting moment of excitement? Many people can't help but ask: Can Chinese players truly establish themselves in Europe's top leagues? This seems like a personal battle for Zhang Yuning, but it is also a reflection of the "highlight" and "embarrassment" intertwined within Chinese football as a whole. When talking about Zhang Yuning, many wonder why he has caught the attention of Atletico Madrid. In fact, all the answers lie in his growth story. Born in Zhejiang, Zhang Yuning did not come from a prominent background; his father was an ordinary sports coach who provided him with endless encouragement and support. He showed a passion for football from a young age, moving from small local pitches to the Hangzhou Greentown youth training camp. "Talent plus hard work" is an old saying in the football world, and Zhang Yuning is a perfect example of this. During his time at the Greentown academy, he stood out among his peers with his excellent physical attributes and keen tactical awareness. Later, his performances with China's U19 and U23 teams were remarkable, scoring crucial goals multiple times and helping the team reach higher stages in Asian youth competitions. The process of this unremarkable child growing into the "future hope" in the eyes of domestic fans is touching: personal effort is indeed a key factor in…

In the La Liga arena, Barcelona suffered a 1-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid. This loss may seem like just a single game's failure, but it is actually the concentrated outbreak of a series of problems. The team experienced its first loss in five years, which seems to be reminding everyone that Barcelona's current situation is not as glamorous as it appears on the surface. Why has this once world-renowned team become so vulnerable? What caused them to fall from their peak and struggle on the road to the championship? To highlight the bright spots of Barcelona this season, one must mention the "youth storm" from La Masia. Young talents such as Ansu Fati, Gavi, Pedri, and Ferran Torres have indeed impressed with their performances. Under Xavi's promotion, they have stepped onto the stage, proudly displaying the name of La Masia. This is an exciting feeling that has been long-awaited, as the youth academy is the lifeblood of Barcelona, and the emergence of these young players has once again ignited fans' confidence in the future. However, problems have arisen alongside this youthful energy. Youth is a double-edged sword. The young players' determination is commendable, but their lack of experience has led to frequent failures in key matches. For example, in the match against Atletico Madrid, young player Ansu Fati struggled to adapt to the pressure, directly leading to a loss of control in midfield. Combined with injuries to players like Ousmane Dembele, the shortcomings of the youthful lineup are magnified - they may represent the future, but they are clearly not…

Why has Atletico Madrid, once plagued by doubts, managed to equal their club record with a 13-game winning streak and return to the top echelons of European football with such force? Is this performance a mere "flash of brilliance," or is it the result of long-term accumulation and a breakthrough in tactics led by figures like "Little Spider" Alvarez, the rise of the "Argentinian contingent," and Simeone's strategic adjustments? Atlético de Madrid is redefining its own path to football glory with blood, sweat, and a perfect blend of wisdom and hard work. The 13-game winning streak is not just a number; it's a declaration – Atlético de Madrid is back! After the third round of the King's Cup, the team equaled their historical record, impressing with their style of victory. Who could forget the early season when Atlético was described by the media as "conservative" and "dull" due to inconsistent form? However, it's clear that Atlético has transformed this season. They're scoring over two goals per game on average, minimizing defensive errors, and even demonstrating dominance against strong Champions League opponents. This isn't simple luck; it's a resurgence after recovery. Discussing this winning streak, one cannot overlook "Little Spider" Alvarez. The Argentine star, who joined from Manchester City, initially faced challenges adapting to tactical changes. However, he quickly proved himself, integrating into the system and forming a partnership with Griezmann that had a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts. His impact extends beyond goal tallies, influencing every aspect of the game. Whether it's central advances, key passes,…
