Chapter 045: The sword goes sideways
Looking at the most passive scene after returning to La Liga, Simeone frowned.
Before laying out the lineup for this game, Simeone experienced the biggest entanglement and trade-off after returning to Atletico.
On the one hand, it is the basic goal of winning the UEFA Cup, and on the other hand, although it is not the main goal to continue the winning streak in words, the hope of reaching the European Champions Cup with the top four in the league is suddenly growing again. Regardless of which option you prefer, it has the potential to have an unforeseen impact on the Sheets' season results.
After careful consideration and selection, Simeone chose to believe that even if he lost points at home, he still had a chance to salvage the league, and accordingly did not make much changes to the personnel in the front court.
Ding Yue's complete physical fitness is not a problem at all, and both Simeone and Boggs are convinced of this, this is a perversion.
Although he didn't have the fitness to burn the close pressing battles to every corner of the front court in the first league game, the Argentine coach still wants to cause problems for the Champions League-hungry Barcelona side in terms of ball control and pressing restrictions.
Therefore, in the early stages of the game, Simeone made a resolute effort in the attack. He chose to attack on the side of Alves, who played the whole game, and was a member of the Brazilian full-back, Alves, like other Brazilian full-backs, has an attacking heart and has the experience and rate advantage of crushing, especially against the Brazilian full-back Felipe, who is also more attacking than defending.
Combined with the left-leaning habit of Iniesta, the core of the frontcourt organization, in the back row of the forward line, Barcelona after controlling the rhythm started a continuous attack on the left side, hoping to get a key breakthrough on the left side through the positional advantage.
"The game is gradually getting into the rhythm of Barcelona, Director Zhang, what adjustments do you think Simeone needs to make to make Atletico less passive?"
Atletico Madrid's passivity can be seen by a fan who has watched the game for two weeks. Duan Xuan was a little anxious.
Zhang Lu knows that this is inevitable, every team that is now playing with this Barcelona team will fall into such a predicament, "There is no way, the midfield organized by Xavi Iniesta is too terrible, not to mention that they also brought in Cesc Fabregas this year, although the swing of the three did not fully stimulate their own potential, but as far as these three people are concerned, playing in the midfield, no one in this world is above them!"
"There's no way?"
"The ultimate fast counterattack can break Barcelona's passing and control flow, which has been proven, but now Atletico Madrid's first shot is not accurate. In this way, it is impossible to fight back, and under the vicious circle, the more passive it is. β
"Yes... Eh, this ball! Iniesta to the inserted Alves, Felipe missed! Felipe chased back, Alves cut inside!
"Oh, Courtois!"
Alves fired a right-footed shot past Courtois and into the net! Barcelona broke the deadlock in the way they were most accustomed to!
"It's amazing, let's take a look at the slow mirror, is this ball a straight plug from Xavi to Xiaobai. β
"Let's take a look, oh, it's true, everyone thought that when Barcelona was slowly down, Xavi suddenly passed through a straight kick from the three, Iniesta stopped and took the ball to the front of the penalty area, Alves in the back row, where was Felipe at this time? He was following Iniesta, who rushed over with the ball, trying to pinch Iniesta with Dominguez. β
"Then came Alves' show time, we kept saying that Alves had the same footwork as any winger, and the corner was so hard and accurate that Courtois didn't have time to react. β
Duan Xuan took a look at it and pointed out that Courtois also has some responsibility for this ball, "Courtois is still too young, and this near corner is not completely blocked." β
"Hey, hey. Zhang Lu smiled, "This game is going to be good-looking, Atletico Madrid is behind, and they must attack, so that they will have a chance, and the game will become more intense." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Alves' fierce celebration caused dissatisfaction among Atletico CalderΓ³n Madrid fans, and boos were everywhere!
"Keep your head up, come on, it's not over yet, there's still sixty or seventy minutes left!" Simeone was on the sidelines, no less pressure and sweat than any player on the pitch.
Ding Yue was also applauding to cheer up his teammates.
Gabby was not present... Simeone regretted it a little. Paul Assunsan is too old and too docile.
Ding Yue... Such an aggressive degree advantage is the basis of Simeone's counterattack routine.
Galtier has long since seen that the most suitable position for Ding Yue is the left winger, this area has enough open space for him to gallop back and forth, and its characteristics of large coverage, strong propulsion ability, wide vision and long-term accuracy can be fully swung, and more importantly, it is conducive to the swing of his main foot.
After Simeone settled in Atletico Madrid, thanks to the growing friendship with Colombians and Turks, Ding Yue once made his swing to a higher level on the right side of Atletico Madrid.
Due to the strong offensive ability of midfielder Gabi and Juan Fran behind him to cover and delay the opponent's attack, Ding Yuebo rarely worries about defense when playing against weak teams.
Compared with other games, it can be clear that Atletico Madrid at this stage has not been able to replace a covering midfielder with strong running ability like Gabi, and there is no better right fullback than Juanfran on the field.
Ding Yue can't be blamed for this, Simone is helpless.
β¦β¦
The drizzle fell from the sky, and Ding Yue's face was indifferent, as if the cold rain did not exist.
Falcao's physical strength does not support him to rush back to defense, nor can he participate too much in pulling and pulling the edge to turn back and forth.
A teammate slowly walked beside him. The sound of rapid breathing represented the extent of his loss of stamina.
Ding Yue's brows furrowed slightly.
Many years ago, he already knew that Barcelona's passing control was invincible, but when he was there in person, he knew how terrible, boring and desperate it was to be walked by these players.
The strong confront each other, according to most people's thinking, the fight is a moment of light, many times there is no need for any temptation, directly knife to the flesh, in the end, whoever resists the longest will win.
But the Barcelona sword went sideways, surrounded you, teased you, and finally I don't know where to stick out a short sword, stabbing you one by one, the blood slowly dried up, and you died.
"It's hard," Cork said anyway.
Ding Yue clenched his fists.
