At half-time, Barcelona brought the players back to the dressing room.

After Valverde came on, he gave every player an affirmation, and the players performed extremely well in the first half.

Valverde was particularly praising his step-back header in the box, which impressed him with his creativity and skill on the pitch.

Although he was mentally prepared, Yile surprised him every game.

In the second half, Valverde still kept his lineup unchanged.

As a coach who came out of Athletic Bilbao, Valverde has developed a good habit of making the most of the limited cards in his hand.

Athletic Bilbao's bench and starting line-up were not ideal, and this is why Valverde's characteristics are formed.

At Athletic Bilbao, Valverde was able to play well.

Now let's look at this lineup.

The world's leading stars, including Messi, Yile and Suarez, have allowed him to try more lineups.

In the past, Valverde was a cautious man, after all, the limited bench depth could not support his tactical ideals.

But when he came to Barcelona, he began to change gradually.

He started experimenting with more style of play, and although it was still mainly passing, it didn't mean that he didn't study anything else.

Like Barcelona's former strikerless formation, Valverde has also considered whether it can be repeated.

The importance of this system is in the midfield, and the midfield has to gain an advantage.

And the midfielder with Yile in charge gave Valverde that confidence.

Of course, the system is not yet mature, and .... Suarez, isn't he fragrant?

In the whole Barcelona dressing room, there was a lot of talk and laughter, and everyone seemed extremely relaxed.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid's side is indeed gloomy.

Simeone kept encouraging the players, but obviously it didn't work out well, and many players started to have a negative situation.

Yes, a goal doesn't matter much.

But the problem is cognitive.

When Atletico Madrid's proudest defensive and pressing system did nothing, they were at a loss.

Even Simone stopped talking and didn't respond for a long time.

After halftime, Simeone took a deep breath and said:

"Anthony."

Everyone looked up at the sound and looked in the direction of Griezmann.

Griezmann also looked up at Simeone.

Simeone's sharp eyes stared at Antoine Griezmann and said: "I want to make sure that you still think of yourself as a part of Atletico Madrid. ”

Hearing this, Griezmann said without hesitation; "I'm still an Atletico player."

Simeone nodded: "Well, I know you want to move to Barcelona and want a better environment, but that's after that, and now we need to be clear, Barcelona are our enemies. ”

"I don't know if you've made the right choice or if your future is bright, but none of that matters right now."

"You need to score goals, for the team and for you!"

Griezmann pursed his lips and said, "What should I do?" ”

'In the second half, we had to put more emphasis on attacking and you need to attack from the wings, and I think that's where you are going to be in the future.

'Barcelona don't have a strong defence, you have enough individual quality to contain them and take the pressure off the midfield.

"Felix will stand in front of you, I know you don't like to go head-to-head with the other side, then I'll open up enough space for you, clear all obstacles for you, support enough shells for you, I have only one condition, score!" Can it be done? ”

Griezmann raised his head and said loudly: "Yes! ”

Simeone was right, this game was crucial.

Whether it's for Atletico Madrid now, or Barcelona in the future, he needs a good performance.

Goal!

Scoring goals is everything!

"Okay, now that the tactics are clear, I think you know how to play." Simeone clapped his palms and said loudly: "Now let that Chinese see, how Atletico Madrid plays!" ”

......

In the second half, there were no changes to the personnel of both sides, not even the formation, which made many commentators curious about Simeone's tactics.

After all, they didn't make any changes in the first half.

Barcelona are good enough to say that they have already scored in the first half, and now it is Atletico Madrid who are in a hurry, and it is Atletico Madrid who need to make changes, and they need to adapt to the changes.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Barcelona kick off first.

Suarez played a direct pass back to Yile after the kick-off.

As soon as Yi Le touched the ball, he saw Griezmann and Felix rushing towards him, which surprised him: "So fast! ”

Yi Le was surprised in his heart, but his movements were not slow.

Pull the ball and turn it all together, pass it with the arch of your foot, and then pull it towards the wing, controlling the rhythm of the entire right half while making a run.

All this was done in an instant, which made the commentators sigh at Yile's adaptability.

But soon, the unexpected happened.

Felix and Antoine Griezmann were like two tigers, rampage up front, putting Barcelona under tremendous pressure.

It even led to Yile having to retreat for control.

On the sidelines, Simeone stood on the sideline until he pulled back to control, and then he exhaled slowly.

Forcing Yile to drop back is a good start, but the next thing is the key, relying on pressing to disrupt the rhythm and relieve the pressure in the midfield.

If you look closely, you can find that with Yile as the center, the football is constantly passed back and forth, but it just can't run through the half.

Atletico Madrid's aggressive pressing up front court paid off enough.

The pace is fast, and the Atletico Madrid players are like hungry wolves, constantly accelerating.

Yi Le wanted to slow down the pace of the game, but in the face of Atletico Madrid's pressing, he was a little alone.

Fast delivery, fast positioning, and quick transitions.

All of this is a rapid drain on the physical energy of the Barcelona players.

Yi Le is okay to say, but obviously some people can't keep up with the rhythm.

It's like Sergio Busquets is already in a tired state and needs his team-mates to help him with the defense on several occasions.

It's not the way to kick like this.

Yi Le decisively pulled to the wing, and then kicked the ball forward.

It was a decision made as a last resort, and he knew that if they continued to play like this, let alone pass, they were in danger of losing the ball.

Kicking the ball up front reduces the danger and relieves pressure at the back.

Although this is a stupid solution, Yile can't find any other way that is too good for a while.
