Simeone had reason to be complacent.

When he first arrived at Atletico Madrid, the biggest problem he faced was how to build the confidence of the players, and he finally solved this problem and then everyone saw the results.

For the questions of the outside world, the players of Atletico Madrid have the best bottom in their hearts.

As far as Ding Yue's own understanding is concerned, Simone is not relying on lip service, let alone shouting slogans.

When he communicated privately with Falkaturan and others, he had such feelings... During the training, Simeone put a very, very heavy emphasis on the movement of the players without the team, and he also demonstrated it himself from time to time.

In the actual confrontation ... Especially in the game, according to Simeone's usual training to do the way of running, you can really run out of space, and the passing and receiving in the counterattack is really smooth. Over time, the players built up a sense of trust in the coaches and felt that Simeone was right, and naturally the players gradually built up confidence in themselves.

Just like this away game against Sevilla, from the process of the early opening stage, it is obvious that the players of Atletico Madrid have become able to run and rob, on the one hand, the passing and receiving between several attackers in the front field are effective, and on the other hand, they have predicted the opponent's passing line and can make many successful tackles.

Ding Yue knows that this is the role of technical and tactical aspects in building self-confidence.

In fact, outside the training ground, Simeone's biggest characteristic is to "grasp the big and let go of the small". The so-called "big" refers to football-related matters, which Simeone attaches more importance to. For example, after arriving in Seville, the first thing Simeone did was to gather the staff who had arrived early and inquire in detail about the implementation of each task, from the deployment of the venue to food, food and accommodation, and finally to inspect it himself.

"Small" refers to situations outside of training, especially in terms of life, and Lippi basically doesn't ask about them. Unlike the previous Galtier, he still has to collect his mobile phone, and after receiving one part, he has to ask if there is a second part, and he often "has nothing to do", which often makes the players or staff feel "unhappy", not to mention going to a party at night and being blocked.

It's hard to say who is right and who's wrong with Galtier and Simeone's approach, each coach has their own style. Galtier won the Ligue 1 title with his iron fist, and Simeone relied on his brotherly affection card, and his current record is also good.

In fact, from the point of view of Turranfalcao and others, it is precisely this so-called "little thing" that does not make the players feel strange, so that they can always maintain a relaxed and happy feeling, so the atmosphere of the team seems more harmonious. The lifeless and even rebellious mood of the Manzano era is now rare in Atletico Madrid.

After Simeone took office, Atletico Madrid did not spread all kinds of unfavorable gossip, which also proves the current atmosphere of Atletico Madrid.

After hugging and celebrating with every Atletico Madrid player who ran over, Falcao gave Ding Yue another bear hug alone.

"The next penalty for you?"

Ding Yue smiled sideways, "Is this a charity?"

Falcao shook his head, "I just feel that you are a little tired of being a father and a mother at the same time." ”

"I don't understand. ”

Falcao is a little used to Ding Yue's way of speaking.

'I've seen your highlights in Ligue 1 and the way you played in the second half of the season, a lot of us couldn't play. ”

Falcao really found a lot of Ding Yue's highlights in Ligue 1 to watch. Many people think that wingers, full-backs, midfielders, and even midfielders should go to their leading striker's past game highlights to understand the striker's running habits, grabbing habits, shooting habits, etc.

But Falcao is different. He knows that others need to adapt to their own characteristics, but most importantly, he always feels that he is a strong and powerful shooter, and he must always be on the same beat with his teammates...

He had a lot of communication with Ding Yue in training on weekdays, but Falcao felt that this was not enough, so he asked Boggs to arrange an analyst to help him edit Ding Yue's assist highlights in Ligue 1, including those passes that he passed well but his teammates did not score.

Ding Yue really didn't expect this.

"What's the catch?"

"Needless to say, you're used to right-footed crosses, 65 per cent of your crosses are from the back post, probably because your curling ball is always too big, and of course because of that, you can better get around the goalkeeper and the opposing centre-back. ”

This time it was Ding Yue's turn to be a little confused. I did my homework!

"Then you have to get the ball passed by labor and management into it!" Ding Yue laughed loudly.

Falcao nodded earnestly.

……

……

The game resumes.

Atletico Madrid is still on track, in addition to playing according to their own advantages, Simeone is very strict in this game for Sevilla's wide attack, especially Navas on the right. After conceding the goal, Sevilla quickly counter-attacked, and after Keylor Navas combined with his team-mates on the right flank to form a number of crosses, Boggs was instructed by Simeone in the stands to restrict him from receiving the ball with a more demanding premise.

Once Keylor Navas is in the high post, wing-back Juan Fran on the right will be quick to step forward, and while Ding Yue and others can defend Kanute and Babakar, midfielder Gabi will also come to help depending on the situation. Atletico Madrid, who were pressing, spent a lot of energy and limited the attack on Navas's side in the following period.

Atletico Madrid finally stabilized the rhythm and passed while appropriately increasing the coordination and counterattack on the wings. Simeone's precise adjustment of details in the stands allowed Atletico to begin to show their advantages to a certain extent.

This advantage is naturally Ding Yue's speed.

In fact, when Ding Yue, who scored the first goal to create a penalty, forcibly started, perhaps no one would realize that this was actually the result of Ding Yue's all-round development plan that Simeone and Boggs had been emphasizing before!

In the 36th minute, Gabi once again leaned on a clearance with Diego at the edge of the penalty area and grabbed the dribble after Reyes cut inside.

Gabi didn't miss the player, and with a touch of his left foot, he gave Diego the power to distribute the ball.

The fine combination on the left side and the simple and direct speed on the right side are the current labels of Atletico Madrid, and after withstanding Sevilla's desperate attack to equalize, Diego's proficiency in finding counter-attacking points on both sides has also begun to increase.

As soon as Ding Yue and Turan saw Diego get the ball, they immediately started to run forward.

"To Ding Yue!"

Falcao stood five or six steps back from the middle line, and when he saw that Diego had taken two or three steps forward and had to observe, he quickly shouted, weighing who the two sides were going to ask for.

Anyway, Falcao is not afraid that Turan will come back and force him, the previous two counterattacks, because Ding Yue had someone around him, Diego gave the ball to Turan's side, and then... With it, one was intercepted by the other party, and the other ... Directly brought out the sideline himself.

At least, in this game, Falcao believes in Ding Yue's state more.

The balance in Diego's heart was completely tilted by Falcao's shout.

By the way, with two steps and a long pass of 20 meters, he accurately found Ding Yue, who had no opposing players within three or four meters.

Unloading the ball, Ding Yue glanced up at the front.

He felt the sound of the opposing defender's breathing rushing again... Poking the ball forward, Ding Yue began to accelerate again.

The wind sounded softly in his ears, and even Falcao's running without the ball became a little sluggish due to the decline in physical strength, but after Ding Yue's speed started, it was like a sports car that gradually stepped on the accelerator, and it actually increased more and more!
