'He's got a nose for goals, he's got a lot of skill and a lot of movement, and he can't be a midfielder who can only shoot from outside the box. In the penalty area, he can do something more different and have more impact!"

"If you really want to become Real Madrid and Barcelona's two players with the same top cards, then this person can only constantly attack the penalty area, either in the penalty area, or on the way to the penalty area, so as to show that he can become the best player in the world!"

Simeone saw an unquestionable affirmation in Boggs' eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, asked: "180 height, the ability to grab points in the penalty area?"

Boggs raised his eyebrows, feeling that Simeone sometimes drilled the horns, and after organizing the language, he continued: "Adrian's previous position, Ding Yue can play. ”

"Shadow striker, second striker?" Simeone looked at him and said, "Where's the road?"

Boggs shook his head, thinking about what a violent thing a player like Ding Yue would be if he could only become a strengthened version of Reyes in the end.

'Turan still plays on the left, and the right side may allow Salvio to try. is also a young talent, I think although he is not as good as Ding Yue, he can still use it for half a season. ”

'I always felt that Salvio would have to go out on loan for at least a season or two before he really grew. ”

Boggs looked at Simeone and said: "Genius is everywhere, but we don't have a better candidate. If we change the formation, how much time will we need to determine our style of play next season?"

"You need at least two or three sets of plays. Simeone hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking his thoughts.

Boggs smiled and said, "Try it first, if you can't do it against Lazio, you can change it back." ”

"Well, try it. ”

Simeone's eyes were very calm, and he did not complain because of the lack of troops in his hands and the inability of the major general to carry out his plan, but was full of challenges. He looked at Boggs and asked seriously: "If we don't get anything this season......"

Boggs didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he directly propped his hands on the desk, and said with a stern and solemn expression: "You have never doubted yourself in Argentina!"

……

……

On the way to Santander. The Atletico players only learned about the start of the game from Simeone's mouth.

A lineup that had never even been rehearsed in training surprised everyone.

Including other coaches besides Simeone and Boggs.

"Falcao and Ding Yue, so exciting?"

Mario Suarez looked at Adrian beside him and asked, "Did the coach find you?"

"Find a yarn. ”

Like Mario Suarez, Adrian, who lost his starting position, was on fire, and he wanted to make a big splash at Atletico Madrid after the European Youth Championship.

Who knew that as soon as Simone came, he would reuse that Chinese like this! Now he has put him in his previous position!

Mario Suarez looked at Adrian with a serious expression and said: "I think the coach is going to try Ding Yue to play shadow striker, and this kid can still play the No. 10 position when he retreats, okay!"

What else does Mario Suarez want to say.

Adrian shook his head, his gloomy face revealing a hideous look that was completely different from his usual one. He looked at Suarez and said in a deep voice: "I will never sit and wait for death like this." ”

Mario Suarez remembered Ding Yue's dilemma in the first half of the season, and after a moment of silence, he said: "What a special coach and a wave of soldiers! I see that this game suddenly changed formation, what can be played!"

……

……

After the TV commentators got Atletico's starting list, they also hesitated, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what formation Simeone was lining up.

It wasn't until two or three minutes after the opening that everyone found out that Ding Yue was behind Falcao!

Such a change of formation, which appeared before the upcoming first leg of the Europa League match with Lazio, not only the commentators were puzzled, but also the fans of Atletico Madrid were a little puzzled.

"The key is not whether it can succeed or not, but whether the path is right or not. Simeone's tactical qualities have been proven in the previous games and I choose to trust our manager!"

"It's still too bold, Atletico's only bet this season is a Champions League place and the UEFA Cup, and suddenly there is a change of tactics... It's a bit of a surprise..."

"I'm afraid of a chicken! Falcao is getting better! Ding Yue himself and he are very hot! I am optimistic about this pair!"

Zhang Lu's expression was not at all as casual and natural as usual, and after a few signature laughs, he stared at the situation on the field and explained: "Simeone's intention is obvious, that is, to maximize Ding Yue's offensive talent!

After the opening, Salvio, who returned to the starting position, was frequently inserted, but his small skills and dribbling ability were obviously not comparable to Turan and Ding Yue, so after a few rounds, Atletico Madrid's attacking center immediately pulled to the left side of the road where Turan was.

The away side chose Diego to sit on the bench, and Atletico Madrid's long pass initiation point and counterattack point and even dispatch point in the midfield were obviously missing. Originally, Diego did a good job of this role, but Thiago, who lacked the ability to move forward, did not seem to be excited enough in this game.

Gabi is no longer invisible after becoming the core of the defense, but is actively integrating into the new environment and the new team, while Thiago feels a bit out of place with Simeone's style of play, except for desperate scrambling. Obviously, Thiago did not have the vision and ball handling ability of an attacking playmaker, and he lost his playmaker's agility and playmaking ability in defense after defence, and he was unable to provide effective protection for his teammates in the middle of the midfield.

Simeone can only count on Gabi.

But the fly in the ointment is that although Gabi's sweeping ability is outstanding, his receiving strength in the backfield is still insufficient, and in the first fifteen minutes, Gabi pursued the offensive idea of direct passing attack in the front court, resulting in an unstable pass success rate.

The impact play of locking the left side also allowed Gabi to make fewer back-cuts. Until the twentieth minute, Gabi made a long pass to find Turan, and Turan directly cushioned Ding Yue who came to answer without stopping the ball, Ding Yue unloaded the ball and turned around and found Falcao.

Standing on the left side of the Falcao penalty area, waiting for Ding Yue to run to the middle, and then passing, perfectly reflecting the role of a wall, Ding Yue completed Atletico Madrid's first threatening long-range shot on the line of the big penalty area, but the opponent's goalkeeper was very concentrated, and he saved the ball from the bottom line with a hard side pounce.

"Salvio is a little too trying to show himself, Thiago hasn't been able to carry on the past, boss..."

Simeone watched the corner kick come out, was cleared by the opponent's header and was roughly boxed, and after a moment of silence he said: "If we don't try, we never know if it will work, Boggs, and we can afford to try it now!"

Boggs said with a solemn expression: "Even if we have points in our hands and the chairman's tolerance, I don't think Salvio can continue to stay on the field." And Thiago, these two guys don't suit your style of play. ”

Simeone asked thoughtfully, "Who do you think you're up to?"

Boggs looked him in the eye and said seriously, "Diego and Adrian." ”

Simeone frowned. Could it be so soon to overturn the idea that has excited both of them for the past two days?

Boggs seemed to see through Simeone's thoughts, and quickly said: "Adrian is not going to go back behind Falcao! we can let him move on the right wing, use his wide coverage and constant interspersing, and make the opponent's back line tense, or in this way, Ding Yue and Falcao will have a chance." ”
