Chapter 146: Handy

The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of the king of the ball!

For a long time in the past, Atletico Madrid has been burdened with the name of "pseudo-strong team", and the end of the team has become the talk of the media, and it is a reason for people to criticize them for having super goalkeepers and super strikers but not being able to play team spirit.

But this time, Simeone's side showed the world something different, and they should live up to the name of the 'La Liga giants'.

Unity, forge ahead, is the theme of this Atletico Madrid team.

Originally, the grassroots should have been added....

But you look at the top scorer list....who is in front of Ronaldo Messi?

So Simeone sometimes has to accept what people say - Atletico Madrid has a good life and picks up Ding Yue.

Simeone didn't refute either, because Ding Yue played under him....played in La Liga, no matter how good he was, he grew into a top player under Simeone's system.

If the effortless winning streak in front of the competition is the reason for the schedule, and the nine consecutive wins are the surprise that Atletico Madrid brings to the fans, then in this round of away games against Valencia, Atletico Madrid needs to show their attitude - even in the face of strong teams, Atletico Madrid is not afraid, and the Sheets must prove themselves.

In fact, after nine consecutive wins, Atletico Madrid are already seen as the most consistent team in La Liga outside of Barcelona, and they have risen to second place in the Spanish Primera Liga odds list, just behind Barcelona, while Real Madrid have been completely underestimated.

Unlike last season's away experience, this season's Atletico Madrid away trip was eye-catching, perhaps because it was indeed a clear difference in quality from their opponents, Simeone's side played a consistent performance that Atletico Madrid football had not seen for many years.

"Ding Yue, I'm thinking about the formation of eleven people, if you ask the others, then I will have endless topics, but about Ding Yue, I suggest you take a magnifying glass and look at everything on his field. ”

Whether it is before or after the game, the journalists are always most interested in the player who is the best player in the team and the one who plays the best.

Simone frowned, and everyone knew that he was a little bored with the subject.

In the top group, strong teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Sevilla are eyeing it, and teams with good strength such as Athletic Bilbar are also waiting for Atletico Madrid. In this context, it is reasonable to see that Atletico is a more sensible choice to keep a low profile.

Before the start of the match with Valencia, the battle for the top spot was still very delicate, and Barcelona had won 3:1 at home to Celta, bringing the points to 28 points, temporarily leading Atletico Madrid by one point at the top of the table.

For the sake of recuperation and strategic layout....or rather, La Liga has no layout at all, and losing a game other than Barcelona and Real Madrid may be doomed..... Simeone is under pressure not to carry out a large rotation of personnel. Technically and tactically, both sides were lackluster, with Simeone still pressing 4-3-3 and defendingly 4-5-1, while Valencia were first and foremost defensive due to their recent poor results.

Atletico Madrid started the game with little attack after threatening Valencia's goal, and Valencia didn't put Courtois under too much pressure.

"To be able to beat Real Madrid in the odds to win the title, Atletico Madrid must have something of their own. The Sheets have been impressive this season, not only extending their unbeaten run in the second half of last season, but also conceding the most goals and goal difference among any La Liga team, with the exception of Barcelona and Real Madrid, who are both Atletico Madrid players in the top 10 scorers, which illustrates the team's striking prowess. ”

Guti's also read the data and analyzed the advantages of this Atletico Madrid.

Maybe it's the poisoned milk, just after that, in the sixth minute, one of Lamy's headers in Valencia's corner kick was deflected off the left post.

"Ha, I can't say, Atletico Madrid's defense is very stable, but is it related to the fact that they haven't met a strong opponent yet?" another commentator continued: "I always feel that they haven't suffered too much of a test in the previous games. ”

"No, no, no. Guti immediately refuted this statement, "Everyone is a bit biased when they say this, a team with nine consecutive wins, even if the schedule is good and the luck is good, then it is impossible for them to have a stable style of play and a stable star output." ”

"Also, stability is the most terrible thing. ”

……

……

Atletico Madrid felt the difficulty....Valencia fought hard, a little scary.

Once upon a time, those top teams could call the wind and rain on the "underdogs" of La Liga at every turn. All kinds of wonderful passing and running coordination are like butterflies through flowers, and often regard the opponent's defense as nothing. Even if these "weak brigades" are determined to put on an iron bucket formation, they often fall short because of the gap in defensive skills and tactical execution, which eventually leads to the tragedy of having to attack and then being abused even worse.

However, with the increasing exchange of world football, and the fact that many players from many participating teams have been trained in the 'Super League', they can finally maintain the stability of the entire defense line when facing strong teams, and then use counterattacks to play a scene that does not fall too far behind.

Atletico Madrid is facing such a dilemma.

As the game progressed, Valencia's defensive counterattack at home became more and more handy.

In this game, Simeone presented the most handy formation of Atletico Madrid this season. Ding Yue and Turan are two positions that can change positions at any time, and the two wings are ceded to wingbacks Felipe and Juanfran on the wing.

Pogba, the playmaker at the heart of the formation, was placed in the back, and he and Gabi became a double midfielder. In such a formation of play, Pogba should have a large space to move, the back will be organized with the ball, the right side will switch positions with Juanfran from time to time, and the left side will form a small combination with Turan.

In this tactical system, when both sides are pressed, the width of the side is greatly utilized. Two midfielders plus two wing-backs and a striker often create a local advantage.

However, this game made Simeone discover that such a set of formation play also has shortcomings!

Diego Costa has been fixed while playing to his advantage, and once he plays against the giants and pseudo-giants, it is still unknown how much he will play, in short, these 20 minutes are completely frozen.

Defensively, since the double front midfielders are only piled up in the middle even if they retreat, once the opponent squeezes, the two ribs are an open field. This was overshadowed by the smooth sailing of previous matches and is an issue that Atletico Madrid needs to solve.

Simeone was thinking about it, and Atletico Madrid had conceded a goal.

Twenty-fifth minute.

Another corner.

Pogba is leaking.

Postiga looked back at the moon with a keen eye, and Courtois was completely unresponsive!
