When Atletico Madrid stunned Spain with a 3-0 home win over Valencia, Galacticos Real Madrid also lived up to expectations, beating Deportivo La Coruna 3-1 at home. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first game of the new year, Bosque's team also played in excellent form.

Morientes, Zinedine Zinedine Zidane and Raul scored separately to show Real Madrid's excellent attacking prowess up front.

Zinedine Zidane has also proved his worth as the world's number one superstar with his outstanding performances in recent times.

At the Camp Nou, Barcelona also won 2-0 against Zaragoza thanks to goals from Kluivert and Saviola, earning three valuable points.

These two games have once again proved one thing, don't look at the current chaotic situation in La Liga, the competition for hegemony, but in fact, the strongest is still Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As for teams such as Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, and Celta Vigo, it is still possible to fish in troubled waters while taking advantage of the chaotic situation between the two heroes, but if you really want to compete with the two heroes, there is still too much disparity.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid, so far this season, both the performance on the pitch and the individual strength of the players have been unanimously affirmed by the media and fans, especially in the strength of the players, there have been a number of outstanding stars.

Needless to say, Torres and Villa, who have been hailed as the backbone of Spain's forward line for the next decade, Kaka's performance is getting better and better, and he has also received widespread attention and praise.

Midfielders Deco, Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna are also impressive, with Xavi Alonso in particular showing more and more generalization.

Not to mention the media praise, even Pep Guardiola handpicked Xavi Alonso, praising the Basque as Spain's most potential playmaker after himself, and should be selected for the Spanish national team as soon as possible.

It can be said that with the strength and potential of the current Atletico Madrid squad, almost everyone agrees that the Sheets definitely have the ability to break the two-man pattern and revive the glory of the traditional third giants in La Liga.

After the 19th round of the league, Atletico Madrid immediately rushed to challenge Córdoba away.

In this crucial matchup, Gao Han boldly rotated the lineup and successfully defeated Cordoba 2-0 away to reach the semi-finals with one foot.

But after returning to Madrid, the home side were greeted by Málaga's stubborn sniper.

Atletico Madrid, who were playing at the Estadio Calderón, missed plenty of chances in the game, but in the 89th minute, they forced a break through the middle of Kaka and caused a foul in the box.

Red card plus penalty, Brazilian striker personally took the penalty, 1-0.

With Kaka's goal, Atletico Madrid narrowly beat Malaga 1-0 at home.

However, at the post-match press conference, Malaga coach Joaquin Perrault publicly accused Kaka of faking a fall, believing that his player's defense was not fouled, and awarded a red card and a penalty, but the referee on duty favored the home team and made a biased decision in order to help Atletico Madrid win.

Gao Han refuted it in person, believing that the foul of the Malaga player was undoubted, and there was no problem with the referee's decision.

"Yes, there is no doubt that Kaka is not injured, which is something to celebrate, but that does not mean that giving a red card and a penalty for a foul on a player from Málaga is too heavy, it is definitely a malicious foul. ”

"I'm absolutely willing to vouch for my character, Kaka is one of the most honest players I've ever seen!"

Kaka also expressed his gratitude for the support from the head coach in an interview with the media, and once again reiterated that he did fall to the ground because of a foul, not a so-called fake fall.

At the same time, after the game, a number of media outlets, including Spanish national television, also watched the video of the game, and finally agreed that Kaka had indeed been fouled, and the red card and penalty were indisputable.

But, in any case, the talk that Atletico Madrid was biased by the referee also went viral.

Three days after playing Malaga, Atletico Madrid welcomed the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.

After a week of double matches, Gao Han had to rotate the lineup again.

In the end, with Kiko's goal, they beat Cordoba 1-0.

With a three-0 aggregate score over two legs, Atletico Madrid reached the semi-finals with their heads held high.

The other three teams that reached the semi-finals were Real Madrid, Deportivo La Coruna and Athletic Bilbao.

After the draw, Atletico Madrid was unlucky and drew the stronger Deportivo La Coruna.

Naturally, Real Madrid ran into Heynckes' Athletic Bilbao.

The two legs will be on 23 and 30 January.

…………

January 20, the twenty-first round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid played Espanyol away and the score remained 0-0 after 80 minutes.

The two consecutive weeks after the winter break obviously affected Atletico Madrid's form, although they relied on their own strength advantage and occupied the initiative on the field, but they were unable to break through the Espanyol goal.

On the contrary, it was the home team, waiting for work, relying on more adequate rest and preparation, which gave Atletico Madrid quite a headache.

In the last ten minutes, Gao Han had to give it a go again, replaced the veteran Kiko, and played a three-forward tactic.

Just like in the game against Malaga, all the skill cards are thrown out in one go.

In the end, in the 88th minute, after a retreat from Kiko picked up the ball, Torres successfully countered offside and calmly pushed the shot, scoring the winning goal for Atletico Madrid.

1 to 0!

Another narrow victory!

Returned to Madrid from Barcelona overnight, disbanded the team and returned home.

The soup is still boiling in the kitchen, it smells good, and it tastes delicious.

Gao Han knew that this must have been specially left for him by Lin Xia.

After drinking the soup and washing the pot by the way, back in the living room, Gao Han couldn't help but recall the game that had just ended.

Winning is very dangerous, even a little bit ......

Atletico Madrid's performance has really slipped in recent times, at least on the pitch, and it is no longer as dominant as in the first half.

Many media outside believe that this is because of Atletico Madrid's two-front battle, which leads to the fatigue of the players.

But Gao Han knew that it was not.

The pre-season training method he bought in the store of the coaching system before is really quite effective, at least until the game has been played, as long as Atletico Madrid adjusts well and rotates a little, there is no problem with physical fitness at all.

As for injuries, there are no serious injuries, but some minor injuries.

Even an old sick man like Kiko hasn't stopped playing much so far this season.

Moreover, whether it is the physical examination report given by the medical department or the physical fitness report of Buenaventura, it tells Gao Han that although the two-front battle is very intense, it is not the reason for the team's performance to decline.

The real reason is that from the second half of the season, all teams in La Liga have figured out Atletico Madrid's tactical ideas and given targeted containment tactics.

This is not surprising at all, after all, the managers of other teams are not dry food.

Now it seems that Gao Han must give a substitute plan as soon as possible, so that the team can effectively make changes and adjustments when the 4312 formation is contained by the opponent.

Moreover, the substitution scheme must also be in line with the characteristics of Atletico Madrid.

In other words, the whole offensive and defensive system must not change too much, and the high post defense and the ball control in the middle and back field must be retained.

That's a bit tricky.

Gao Han leaned back on the fluffy sofa, closed his eyes, and entered the shop of the coaching system.

The tactics sold in the store are still dazzling, innumerable, and each one boasts of itself like a flower, as if it is invincible in the universe.

But Gao Han is no longer the chick when he first came into contact with the coaching system, and now he has long been very skilled in the use of this system, and soon passed the selection items in the store and removed most of the tactical formations that were not suitable for him.

But even so, there are still dozens of different formations and playing styles.

Gao Han is not in a hurry, slowly, one by one, slowly look at it, slowly study and ponder.

As early as a year ago, Gao Han had realized that these tactical formations sold in the store were quite clever, some of them were the crystallization of the lifelong essence of their predecessors, some were the coaching experience of the current coaches, and some were unseen and unheard of.

For example, there is a set of tactics in the store that is very similar to Michels's all-out attack and defense, and there is also a set of tactics that are very close to the German Beckenbauer's style of play.

There is also a set of tactical play, which is exactly the same as Cooper's 4231 double-back formation during the Valencia period, but it takes a tall name and blows it up.

There is even another set of play, with a four-three-three formation, focusing on high pressing and ball control, and it is said that after practicing skillfully, it can maintain more than 60% possession in the face of any opponent, which can be called the strongest in the universe.

Realizing the preciousness of these tactical formations in the store, Gao Han naturally would not let go easily, and would come in whenever he had time to take a look, study and ponder, and learn the strengths and advantages of various different tactics.

Although I didn't buy it, I couldn't appreciate the essence of it, but just observing and learning like this benefited Gao Han a lot, and his tactical literacy was no longer the same as a year ago.

After a round of screening, the alpine target was finally locked on two sets of tactical formations, and the names were very good.

The strongest two ribs in history!

This is a four-three-three formation, with a tactical fulcrum center in front and an offensive scoring method with two wings cutting in.

It is still a high-level defense, the midfielder is also a three-back, the ability to control the ball is slightly weaker, and the ability to press and press is better.

To put it simply, this is a relatively crude Kombat whirlwind style of tactical play.

Compared with Atletico Madrid's current four-three-one-two, this set of two-ribbed flying is like the absence of Kaka as a striker, adding a Kiko-type center forward, and then pulling two strikers to the side.

The name of the other set is called the Chuan Control Christmas Tree, home and away!

The formation is 4321, compared with the current 4312 of Atletico Madrid, a striker has been taken, a forward has been added, and the midfielder's ability to control the ball and respond can also be liberated.

The two formations, both in terms of tactical concepts and training methods, are similar to the set of four-three-one-two that Atletico Madrid is familiar with now, and the team should be more proficient in using them.

It's just that these two sets look pretty good, and they're both quite necessary, so how do you choose?

Gao Han was a little troubled. (To be continued.) )
