Chapter 65: It's a Problem!
The first half ended with Atletico Madrid leading 2-0. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It also allowed the Sheets to finally level on aggregate.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Atletico Madrid players looked extremely excited.
In the stands, sparse cheers also kept coming.
The number of Atletico Madrid fans in attendance was small, but they were brave enough to speak out in support of their team.
Gao Han walked to the sidelines, greeted the players who walked off the field one by one, hugged them, praised and affirmed their performance in the first half.
Especially Hugo Leal.
The Portuguese phenom was lively in the second half of the game, especially with the two-star assault card and a series of threats, which was truly impressive.
Gao Han also praised him and encouraged him to continue to maintain his excellent performance in the first half.
After sending the players into the tunnel, Gao Han turned around and saw that on the rostrum, the management triumvirate of Matayana and Atletico Madrid was waving at him, and all four of them looked particularly excited.
"Alpine!" Little Hill ran to the iron bar, raised the Nokia in his hand, and shouted loudly.
"What's the matter?"
"My dad called. β
"Huh?"
"He's listening to the live stream, let me tell you, it's great, come on, it's going to be reversed!" said Hill Jr. looked particularly excited.
The promotion of Gao Han was also a decision made by him, Cerezo and Paul Futre.
Just winning this game is enough to prove that the decision was the right one.
"Then you tell him that this game is won!" Gao Han looked confident.
Little Hill laughed, put the phone to his ear, and asked loudly: "Dad, did you hear it?" He said, it's won, don't worry!"
Not far away, Juan de Ramos, who was about to follow the players into the passage, was moving slowly, eavesdropping on their conversations, and when he heard Gao Han say that he had won, his feet were in a mess, and he stumbled and almost fell headlong.
"I'll rub it, it's only the first half, okay? You just say you've won?"
"Damn, damn, when I'm dead?"
"We'll see, we're not done yet!"
After muttering a few words, Juan de Ramos walked straight to the home team's dressing room.
Originally, according to Ramos's meaning, he should have reprimanded the players and woke up this group of bastards.
But when he pushed open the door of the locker room and saw that the players inside were all panting and tired, he wanted to blurt out a reprimand, but he immediately held back.
'In the first half, we had a lot of physical exertion. "The assistant coach came over.
This was a shock to Juander Ramos.
"The tactics they used in the later period were too ...... It's so obscene!"
Wretched?
Juan de Ramos looked at his assistant with a sad face, but quickly understood.
It's really obscene!
The Alpine side set up a tight defensive formation in their own half, with three lines kept very tight and orderly, and the players covered almost all areas of the half, which made it difficult for Rayo Vallecano to find the direction of attack.
Not only that, but their skillful successive passes, firmly in control of the ball, left Rayo Vallecano's players tired, and if they wanted to grab the ball, they had to keep chasing the ball, and once the defence was loose, they had to retreat in full force.
This kind of back and forth, up and down, makes the players' physical consumption particularly large.
What's even more depressing is that it doesn't have any effect!
Rayo Vallecano is now faced with a dilemma.
If you want to break the ball, if you want to destroy Atletico Madrid's possession, you have to press up and grab it.
But once pressed to grab, the back line will definitely loosen, the defense will definitely be flawed, and the counter-attacking team in the front of Atletico Madrid will come into play.
That's how the two goals came in the first half.
But if you don't press it up and grab it, will you?
Hard!
It's like boiling a frog in warm water, who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the defense of the opponent's pull?
Even if it can be done tactically, what about the players?
The huge psychological pressure of sitting back and watching the opponent control the ball and take advantage of it is enough to tempt players to make mistakes!
Of course, Atletico Madrid's tactics are not completely risk-free.
They are not skilled enough in this set of tactics, they are not tacit enough, and the characteristics of the players are not enough.
Oscar Mena and Zoran Nigus are both clearly out of tune with the team, making too many passing errors when pressed, and once caught, they can easily pose a threat.
But in the end, it's still that sentence, can't it be on?
That's a problem!

'We didn't have a high enough pass success rate in midfield. β
As soon as Gao Han walked into the players' tunnel, Sergio Garcia caught up.
"Huh?" Gao Han immediately stopped and looked at his assistant strangely.
Garcia shrugged his shoulders and pulled out a piece of paper with dense data on it.
'It's my own stats and I've found that the pass success rate in the midfield is generally low, which is dangerous. β
Gao Han took the paper and nodded.
Of course he knows the danger.
This kind of possession in the own half, once caught by the opponent, after the ball is successfully broken, it is easy to create a threat.
The reason for the low passing success rate of the team is that on the one hand, the players are not skilled enough to cooperate, and the formation tactics are relatively unfamiliar, and the other is ......
"The success rate of passes by several players such as Oscar Mena, Zoran Nigus and Aguilera has been a serious drag on the team, and I'm sure Juan de Ramos has noticed it. β
Gao Han nodded, and the Rayo Vallecano coaching staff will definitely be aware of the mistakes of the Atletico Madrid players.
'In the second half, we should have moved the ball out as soon as possible. Sergio GarcΓa suggested.
Gao Han nodded, and stuffed the paper in his hand back into the assistant's hand, "Collect it, it will be useful in the future." β
"Good. β
"Oh, by the way, Sergio, you just rely on your eyes to observe and count?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
The football field is changing rapidly, but that's a bit too much, right?
"Well, I've always been sensitive to data. Sergio Garcia nodded, "Also, I studied statistics in college, and I've always been interested in football statistics. β
He knows what he is capable of, and in terms of football, he has always been inferior to Cantarero, and he can hardly give more help to the coaching staff except for playing as a player, doing odd jobs, and asking for information.
Therefore, in this game, he paid close attention to the statistics of his team's players from the beginning.
That's his forte.
Gao Han's eyes suddenly lit up, could it be that this is why Sergio Garcia's potential is so high?
"I didn't see it before. β
"No one pays attention to it at all. β
"Why?"
"Almost all managers believe that coaching a team is based on feeling and experience, and who would believe the cold stats?"
Gao Han thought about it, but it was true.
"It doesn't matter, from now on, you're going to be in charge of this aspect of the game. β
"Huh?" Sergio Garcia was taken aback.
He originally gave Gao Han the data he had counted, just to see that he was young and more receptive to new things, and wanted to give him some reference materials, but he didn't expect it......
"What other people think, I don't know, but I do know that it's very useful. β
Speaking of this, Gao Han felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that I don't have any power now, and I can't transfer resources, otherwise, I will let you be responsible for setting up a data analysis team to be responsible for analysis and statistics." β
"Huh?" Sergio Garcia was stunned.
It's also too ...... What's that, right?
When happiness comes too fast, he is about to be knocked out!
"Don't be discouraged, keep up the good work!"
Gao Han ignored him, smiled and left.
Data analysis or something, he is also a feeling.
The reason is very simple, there is a lot of data in his coaching system, whether it is a player or a team, it is already data.
He believes that Sergio Garcia's data analysis, combined with the data in his own coaching system, will be of great use.
As for what exactly it is for, he does not know for the time being.

A football game with a fifteen-minute break is not all reserved for the manager.
Because the players have to rest, they need to recover as soon as possible during this period.
However, normally, out of fifteen minutes, there are usually about five minutes for the manager to have a small meeting.
The time, usually before the game.
After Gao Han entered the locker room, he first communicated with the team doctor, JosΓ© Maria BelerΓ³n.
He is one of Madrid's leading experts in sports, has his own private practice, is visited by many athletes and celebrities, and is also a die-hard Atletico Madrid fan.
So, every training session or every game, he is with the team.
At half-time, the team doctor has to check the physical condition of each player to understand their condition, especially for some players who are injured or have been injured.
Even, if he finds that a player is not suitable to play again, he will communicate with the manager first.
Thankfully, the Atletico Madrid players are in decent shape.
Although Aguilera is a veteran, he has maintained his form well and will not hold the team back.
Instead, it was Torres, who was too young, and Belleron suggested that he should not play the whole game.
This point coincides with Gao Han's previous thoughts.
After communicating with the team doctor, Gao Han discussed with assistant coach Cantarero for a while, and the time was almost up, and then he walked to the rest room where the players were.
"Everyone did a great job in the first half!"
Gao Han's first words were praise.
This suddenly made the players in the locker room look very excited.
Who doesn't want praise and affirmation?
"We got two goals back and equalized the aggregate score, it's all a credit to everyone, just now the chairman Mr. Hill also called to affirm everyone's performance, well done, guys!"
The players burst into laughter.
"But we can't be careless, the second half is the key, and the opponent Rayo Vallecano is also a fuel-efficient lamp, so we have to continue to wake up in the second half and continue to work hard. β
'The other question is that in the second half we have to adjust a little bit and move the ball up front as soon as possible to reduce the amount of time the ball is in our half, understand?'
"Understood!" the players replied in unison.
Gao Han swept around the crowd, and he did not name players such as Oscar Mena, Zoran Nigus and Aguilera because it was not necessary, their characteristics are like this, and if they are not suitable, they are not suitable.
Use it now, and when the time is right in the future, when you have the right players, you can just replace them.
"Well, that's all I have to say. β
In the end, it's the same sentence. β
Gao Han looked at the group of players in front of him, very serious, very serious.
"Whether Atletico Madrid is going to ruin or regaining its glory depends on tonight's game, and it's in your hands. β
"I believe from beginning to end that you will never let me down and let the fans down!"
"In the first half, you did it, and in the second half, I'm sure you can do the same!"
When the players listened, they all became very resolute, and their eyes were extremely determined.
After the first half, they clearly regained their confidence to win!
