Chapter 481: LION Tactical Upgrade!
If you know Ang's Sporting Gijón very well, you will definitely notice that Sporting Gijón's defensive counter-attack is sharp, but their possession tactics should not be underestimated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Leon's 'LION' tactics have been practiced since last season's La Liga and have also been shown in many matches in La Liga this season, such as the big win over Athletic Bilbao and the 8-0 massacre of Zaragoza, which also shocked the world.
It was only later in the face of strong teams, Athletic Gijón was weaker, and had to sacrifice the tactics of defensive counterattacks, and the number of times the 'LION' tactics were praised was relatively small, which made people forget for a while.
That's right, with the wave of Leon's flag, Sporting Gijón once again offered the 'lion' tactic, everyone watching this game will have the illusion that before the goal, Sporting Gijón appeared cautious and stuck to the penalty area, but, after the goal, the team was like a different team, aggressive, they emphasized possession, emphasized pressing, and began to put pressure on Atletico Madrid. All of a sudden, the unsuspecting Atletico Madrid was caught off guard.
***********
Ferrando frowned, he was completely unprepared, and the sudden change of moves at Sporting Gijón made him a little confused and headache.
He thought about it and found that he couldn't find a solution to the problem for a while.
As long as the football is at the feet of Sporting Gijón, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to be snatched.
It's not that Atletico Madrid's players didn't try to press in the past, but it is clear that Sporting Gijón was prepared for the press, so they were always passing the ball and not letting the ball stay at the feet of a player for too long.
Soccer balls in this sport are the hardest to grab.
Atletico Madrid followed the football, but they were somewhat dismayed to find that it was useless and had nothing to gain except for the physical exertion.
Now in this situation, they find that all they can do is wait for Sporting Gijón to make a mistake themselves.
However, it is clear that Sporting Gijón is very skilled in this tactic, and it can be seen that this is often practiced in training, and all the players pay attention to the ball with one foot, absolutely not dragging the mud and water, even Ribery and Di Natale, who have excellent foot skills, do not show off their footwork.
Therefore, at this moment, what everyone sees is that the players of Atletico Madrid are being played by the players of Sporting Gijón like monkeys, using the pass to play in a circle.
***********
Many teams, especially strong teams, pay attention to passing control, use passing to control the game, and tear apart the opponent's defense. Giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid are also like this, that is, Ferrando's Atletico Madrid, today's tactics of pursuing a breakthrough in the middle are also a kind of passing and control tactics.
However, this kind of passing and control tactics of Sporting Gijón is something that Ferrando has never seen: this set of tactics of Sporting Gijón, passing and running can be said to be the core of everything, constantly passing between players, constantly running, you only see the football thumping at the feet of their players, pass forward when you have the opportunity, look for space, pass back if you don't have a chance, and then look for an opportunity to come up - bang bang pass, again!
It can be said that when Sporting Gijón attacked, all Atletico Madrid could do was defend with exhaustion and hope that the opponent would miss the pass, but this rarely happened, and the result was that the football was firmly controlled by Sporting Gijón and their attack always had a chance to shoot.
In this case, the players of Atletico Madrid are very depressed, they even desperately want the arrival of Atletico Gijón's goal to end this passing, of course, they want the opponent's shot to be of poor quality, preferably blind, because only then can the ball return to Atletico Madrid's feet and they will have the opportunity to organize the attack.
However, Sporting Gijón does not shoot blindly, even if they attack the front, but if they don't get a good chance, they will choose to pass horizontally or back, and then make adjustments and continue to press.
It can be said that the attack of Sporting Gijón is not about the number of shots, but about the efficiency of shooting and scoring.
***********
"If it wasn't for commenting on the game right here, I couldn't believe it was Sporting Gijón. "Sporting Gijón suddenly gave up on the counter-attack, they now have the football firmly at their feet, and it has become difficult for Atletico Madrid to get the ball." ”
"Sporting Gijón had 63 per cent possession. Gonzalez glanced at the data that had just come out.
This is an amazing possession rate, you know, this possession rate also includes the data of Atletico Madrid's initiative at the beginning of the game, you can imagine how terrifying Sporting Gijón's possession was after the goal.
"Keeping the football under your feet is also a way to protect your own penalty area. "It's just that some fans might find this kind of game boring." ”
"I'd rather see Sporting Gijón on the counter-attack now. Gonzalez said with a smile, "At least in that case, Atletico Madrid is in the driver's seat, the offensive is continuous, and Sporting Gijón's counterattack is also sharp, which is eye-catching, not like it is now......
"Sleepy?" said Dagstino.
"yes. "Of course, from Coach Leon's point of view, his tactics are now successful, Atletico Madrid is completely passive and the pace of the game is completely controlled by Sporting Gijón." ”
The two commentators were surprised while complaining, they knew the 'lion' tactics of Sporting Gijón and had seen them in previous games, but today's tactics of Sporting Gijón are better than ever, especially the pursuit rate of passing, which is even more powerful, witnessing the outrageous and unbearable. It's as if the current 'lion' tactic is an upgraded version of the previous one.
***********
That's right, this is the upgraded version of Leon's 'LION' tactics, during this time Sporting Gijón has been practicing this tactic hard, but it has not been revealed in the game, this time facing Atletico Madrid, Leon decided to test the water with this opponent: Atletico Madrid is not a giant like Real Madrid and Barcelona, but it can be said that it is the strength of La Liga, and the strength of the team belongs to the top in the upper reaches of La Liga, which is just used for training.
Leon's eyes were fixed on the field, he could see Atletico Madrid's helplessness and grievances, and he also knew the reason for this situation, Atletico Madrid was stunned by Sporting Gijón's sudden change of tactics, their pressing seemed to be very hard, but, like headless flies, it was difficult to influence and threaten Sporting Gijón's passing.
At the beginning of the game, the tactics of defensive counterattack were adopted, and after the counterattack was successful and the lead in the score was obtained, then the style of painting was suddenly changed and the 'LION' tactic was adopted, which was also a psychological warfare played by Li Ang, just to catch Atletico Madrid off guard: they had just become familiar with the defensive counterattack tactics of Atletico Gijón, and they were fighting on offense, but they lost the goal, and when they had not come back to their senses, Atletico Madrid changed gorgeously, and Atletico Madrid can be said to have been dizzy since the goal was lost.
"Possession was over 63 per cent. Scottry reports real-time data to Leon.
Li Ang nodded, this possession rate is amazing, and the reason for this result is that Sporting Gijón is under little pressure and has a very low pass error rate.
'LION' tactics, pay attention to passing and pressing, passing is the foundation, pressing is once the ball is converted, like a mad dog to oppress the opponent, just because it is difficult for Atletico Madrid to get the ball now, so the pressing has not been played for the time being.
***********
There is only one way that Ferrando can think of now!
It is no longer possible to let the Atletico Gijón people control the ball so easily, the passing control of the Sporting Gijón people, like a blunt knife, is constantly wearing down the morale of the Atletico Madrid players, if they don't fight back, Atletico Madrid will be planted in the back and forth feet of the Gijón people today.
Ferrando felt that he could see the problem: although Atletico Madrid was also pressing before, it was not enough, it was not enough!
"Loot!"
"Rob them!"
"Oppress them!"
Ferrando shouted from the sidelines.
Leon saw the movement of the dugout next door, he walked to the sidelines, whistled, and Albertini looked over: he received the order.
Di Natale picked up the ball in front, he looked at the penalty area, there was nothing too good to play the ball in, and chose to pass the ball back to Modric.
As soon as Modric got the ball, Aguilera came up and pressed it.
Luka Modric knocked the ball to Albertini.
Grunshire rushed towards Albertini.
The veteran Italian half-turned and kicked the ball to Carlos, still with a return pass.
"In the face of Atletico Madrid's pressing, Sporting Gijón can only keep passing back......" said D'Gostino.
***********
On the sidelines, Ferrando was a little excited when he saw this, waved his arms, and signaled his players to continue pressing. His wishful thinking was that if he could force Sporting Gijón to make a mistake in the return pass in central midfield, it would be a great counter-attack opportunity for Atletico Madrid. This will be a great morale boost for Atletico Madrid, and during this period of time, the players of Atletico Madrid have played so aggrieved.
Everyone saw such a scene: Sporting Gijón kept passing back, and Atletico Madrid fiercely pounced and pressed, like the ebb and flow of the tide, overwhelming.
Carlos passed the ball back to centre-back Pepe.
Pepe continued to pass back, goalkeeper Valencia won the ball, and Torres immediately rushed forward.
Valencia knocked the football to Vermaelen, Hierro was suspended for a red card, and the Belgian youth were given a chance to start.
Sosa pounced on Vermaelen, the young Belgian defender was startled and rushed to pass the ball, and the ball was stabbed by Sousa and almost broken.
Atletico Madrid manager Ferrando's eyes lit up, that's it, continue to press them!
Leon was taken aback, and if Vermaelen was cut off, Atletico would face the goalkeeper. What he wanted was to lure the snake out of the hole, but he wasn't playing with fire and setting himself on fire, and it was clear that Vermaelen was nervous just now and almost made a big mistake.
Vermaelen's panic passed the football to Grosso.
Corsa rushed towards Grosso.
Grosso passed the ball to Carlos, who did not return the pass, but pulled the ball and turned and faced the Atletico Madrid half.
***********
"It's—" Commentator Gonzalez's eyes lit up.
Carlos sent the ball straight forward and Modric got the ball.
When the Croatian teenager stopped the ball, he pulled it and easily avoided Glen Char, who was grabbing.
Then he also quickly sent the ball out.
The person who received the football this time was Ribery.
The French youth ran straight forward with the ball, and almost at the same time, the entire Sporting Gijón midfielder also rushed forward.
Ribery dribbled the ball past half-time and Perea pounced on him.
Pass!
The football reached the feet of Albertini in the middle of the pitch.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's going to be Sporting Gijón! they're advancing so fast!" Gonzalez exclaimed.
***********
Atletico Madrid coach Ferrando was shocked!
He realized the danger!
It's so fast!
Because just a few seconds ago, Sporting Gijón was still passing all the way back, and now in the blink of an eye, Gijón has been pressed out like a tide and has reached the outside of the Atletico Madrid penalty area.
Albertini faced Atletico Madrid defender Molinero, who came up to intercept in a hurry, and suddenly toeed out!
Pick the pass!
The football talent of the Italian veteran burst into flames at this moment!
Di Natale successfully countered offside, and after receiving Albertini's pass, he faced the attacking Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Franco and crossed directly to the middle!
Diego Milito, who followed up, faced the tackle of the defender Calvo who pounced, and after avoiding the ball with a beautiful smash, he easily sent the football into the empty goal.
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooool!”
"Diego Milito ̄ ̄ Milito! Milito! At this moment, he is the hero of the Ermolinon stadium!" shouted the commentator Dagstino. His eyes widened, staring at the stadium tightly, as if he couldn't believe it! Sporting Gijón passed around, turning Atletico Madrid's brush, and also made the audience, including him, the commentator, a little drowsy, but at this time, Sporting Gijón's tidal wave of offensive swarmed in, just like a huge wave, and Atletico Madrid's defense line collapsed!
***********
"In the opening 35 minutes, Sporting Gijón, who is playing at home, has a two-goal lead!"
"This is Diego Milito's fifteenth goal in the league! The 25-year-old Argentine goalscorer, who also played in Serie B last season, brought him to Gijón and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility! He reciprocated with one goal! The story of the Chinese coach and his disciples will become a good story in football!"
After the goal, Diego Milito was very excited, he ran on the field, he ran, roared, he just rushed to the sideline like this, and then threw himself into the arms of coach Li Ang, who was embraced by Zhang Huai.
"Fifteenth league goal!Now Milito has overtaken Samuel Eto'o at the top of the scorer charts and he is now number one!" the commentator said of why the Argentine was so excited.
As the narrator said, Leon was Milito's Bole who brought him to the Iberian Peninsula and entrusted him with a reuse, who reciprocated with his football talent with a goal.
