Chapter 165: The Brutal Truth
Turan followed behind the big guy and felt a lot.
Everyone has dreamed of becoming a hero, some will spread their wings like an eagle, and some will be knocked down by reality.
Turan can be said to have watched Ding Yue come over step by step in Atletico Madrid.
All the hard work made him worthy of everything he has today.
In Turan's eyes, Ding Yue is like a bird standing on a tree, never afraid of breaking branches, because he believes not in branches, but in his own wings.
……
……
After the start of the game, Ding Yue was still the most cared for Atletico Madrid player.
Athletic Bilbao's players don't know if the manager has set up logging tactics or if they are haunted by last season's Copa del Rey loss. In just ten minutes of the opening game, two players fouled Ding Yue and received yellow cards.
"Damn! These guys did it on purpose!"
Juanfran trotted over again and pulled Ding Yue up with both hands, muttering dissatisfiedly.
Ding Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that this was the treatment he would enjoy one day, if he wanted to continue to climb up.
"Then I'll see how many yellow cards they have left!"
The voice is low and resolute!
Juanfran drove the ball out, looked at Ding Yue's back as he continued to run, gritted his teeth, and began to go down.
Enemies sometimes look scary because they want to make you feel so, but peel back that coat and you can see the fear in their hearts!
Juanfran suddenly remembered Simeone's words of encouragement at halftime.
Yes, the people of Bilbao are scared! That's why they tried to silence Ding Yue in this way!
Since Ding Yue is fearless, then what do I have to worry about!
Diego Costa snatched the first point again in the box, but the second was cleared by the Athletic Bilbao centre-back.
The form on the field was anxious for a while because the Athletic Bilbao players still had plenty of energy and crazy pressing at the beginning.
Simeone was complaining loudly to the referee on the sidelines about his opponent's increasingly brutal movements. Although his team moves a lot, Biba is obviously going to hurt!
Especially Ding Yue, who he values the most now, if anyone dares to kick him now! Simeone feels that he has the heart to carry a knife!
The Athletic Bilbao coach is sitting in the dugout.
But he looked a little bit on pins and needles. Biba, who is ranked 12th in the league, faces Atletico Madrid, who has been in the limelight recently, and he really has no bottom in his heart.
At the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked him what kind of plan he had in place to limit Ding Yue during the match. You must know that if Athletic Bilbao loses to Atletico Madrid, they will suffer three consecutive league defeats, and in the face of such a difficult question, they can only answer with a wry smile.
"I've already said we need to have a specific defensive plan for Ding Yue, and my players have told me maybe we need to bring handcuffs and pistols on the field," he said helplessly. 'Maybe in a game, he's out of the game most of the time, but he'll find himself in 10 minutes and finish what he's supposed to do. ”
This may be a joke, but it is also a brutal truth.
It's very helpless, but he has to be so helpless! You know, he's a madman Bersa!
The nickname "Maniac" is not only derived from Bielsa's passionate coaching style, but also a perfect interpretation of his attacking tactical play.
He once said: "Attacking is the easiest way to win, and in Argentina we all know that, so we always stick to attacking football. ”
Bielsa's dedication and love of attacking play has reached an almost insane level, with a front three with two wingers pulling on the flanks to create chances and technical centre-forwards scrambling in between.
Most of the teams he coaches are also passionate, skillful, offensive and spectacular, and are loved by the majority of fans.
But today, the frenzy of cutting off the connection between other Atletico Madrid players and Ding Yue seems to be the only embodiment of all Bielsa's tactics.
………
………
Twentieth minute.
The Bilbao players, who have been scrambling round after round, look to be at a physical bottleneck.
But......
Damn it!
How can that guy still have the strength to keep sprinting with all his might!
Bielsa felt like she was really about to become a "madman".
This seems to be a difficult question to find, how to stop Ding Yue, and the defenders are not worried about whether they should do it, but whether they can do it. On this issue, at least, Bielsa is extremely embarrassed. Because this kid is so good at running!
If you're not careful, he can run to an empty seat.
If the likes of Inzaghi are born with a keen sense of the best positions left for him on the court, then players like Ding Yue are forced to use their physical strength to rob those wonderful positions!
Herrera, who was sent by Bielsa to follow Ding Yue, was also a little unable to run, as if he had some lead on his feet, and under normal conditions, he could run another 1,500 meters after playing a game.
But Ding Yue, this kid is too ruthless, except for being put on the ground for the past twenty minutes, he has been running almost all the time.
Before the game, Herrera had spent nearly a week studying Ding Yue carefully.
He found that when he was in the armor, Lyon's defenders used uncomplicated marking tactics to limit Ding Yue well in a certain half. Although Ding Yue still scored two goals away from home in that game, Lyon's defensive strategy in the game at least limited Ding Yue's play well for most of the time.
Therefore, on how to limit Ding Yue, the most vocal ones are undoubtedly those defensive players who have done it.
In the post-match interview after that game, the Lyon defenders confided their reluctance and shared their experiences.
"In fact, defending Ding Yue requires more mental preparation than physical preparation. When playing against a player like that, the first thing you have to do is prepare mentally. After that, it's time to sit down and analyze the footage of his game. But psychologically is still the most important thing, you should respect him, not fear him. ”
I should respect him, not fear him!
Yes, that's it!
Herrera swallowed her saliva, sank down, and pressed her body towards Ding Yue.
But......
Take the ball with your back, and divide the ball with .........
You know or you don't know, the ending, it's all the same.
The right hand was outstretched, a defensive instinct, and then it was retracted like an electric shock, which was a rational restraint - because Herrera suddenly remembered that he had a yellow card!
Ding Yue got rid of Herrera, and suddenly there was a small open field in front of him.
The two backs shrunk back.
Splitting sides is the most rational choice.
But the many games and countless times of cooperation in training have made Ding Yue and Diego Costa have some sparks of love.
Costa glanced at Ding Yue, leaned over and suddenly rushed behind one of the central defenders who was following him.
Ding Yue picked his toes while running!
Simeone also raised his eyebrows, picking a pass!
The ball flew past a midfielder and a centre-back and fell on the edge of the penalty area!
Diego Costa just in time!
Simeone swept his eyes, and the linesman's flag was clinging to his panties!
No offside!
A kick to shoot with bated breath!
Broke!
Diego Costa took two steps forward by inertia, then immediately turned around and ran towards Ding Yue.
