Chapter 228: Blockade
CCTV Channel 5, He Wei is also commenting on the game.
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are a blockbuster clash in La Liga, and it can be said that the quality of this match belongs to the top of the league except for the national derby.
It is also worth looking forward to what kind of performance the two teams can play after the summer reinforcements.
"From this game, the problem in front of Simeone is still how to limit Yile, and as a defensive guru in European football, we expect him to limit Barcelona's midfield." He Wei said.
Commentator, Liu Jianhong nodded consciously: "Simeone's Atletico Madrid team has a strong discipline, with the unique enthusiasm of young people, it can be said that this team is like a ball of light that people dare not look at directly, their style of play is full of enthusiasm, and they have a good start to their victory when they occupy the home advantage." ”
The two of them revolve around the game commentary.
At this time, the camera switched, and the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium came into view.
The sight of the fans boiling over.
Crazy whistling, shouting, stomping was heard through the television.
This makes the fans in front of the TV, even if they are not watching the game live, but still have a sense of immersion.
The fans are fanatical.
These Madridians assert sovereignty in the most radical gestures.
The red and blue stripes all over the stadium, and the giant TIFO in the stands, all show their belief in victory.
On the other hand, the Barcelona fans in the crowd were a little overwhelmed.
They cheered as best they could, but they were no match for the gang at all.
Even so, the Barcelona fans shouted red and raised a flag high and shook it vigorously to encourage the home team.
Soon, players from both sides began to enter the arena.
The on-site commentators shouted the names of each player one by one.
Atletico Madrid's players were greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers.
But the Barcelona players were booed again and again.
Even Messi was booed.
But the Barcelona players didn't feel too much, they had expected this kind of scene in advance.
With indifferent faces, everyone walked to the court and lined up in front of the audience.
The captains of both sides toss coins for selection.
Finally, there is the handshake session.
There is a detail in this link, Griezmann and Yile did not shake hands, but hug.
Yi Le was a little surprised at first, after all, he was not too familiar with Griezmann, but after a little thought, he understood that Griezmann was courting him.
Yi Le was a little emotional.
Antoine Griezmann has put his posture very low, and the choice to come to Barcelona has left him with a lot to lose.
A generation of Shenfeng, for an unclear future, ended up full of embarrassment.
The two sides came to their respective halves, and Yi Le did chest expansion exercises while observing the opponent's lineup.
Just like he thought.
4-4-2 formation.
In midfield, Correa, Brera, Partey, and Koke are placed.
All four players are well-rounded, but sometimes well-rounded can also mean mediocre.
This midfielder is more defensive, with a strong ability to intercept wide areas and a strong ability to run.
Yi Le remembers that last year, these people were able to keep up with the running distance and rhythm of Paris Saint-Germain, which shows that they are extremely physical.
Simeone's intention is clear, to make things happen in midfield.
To do this, he has placed young rising star Phoenix up front, forming a double striker with Antoine Griezmann.
It can be said that these two people are the main characters in Ma Jing's counterattack, and the others are tool people.
The only thing that was fortunate was that Costa was injured.
Even though Costa hasn't been in great shape lately, Yile has some deep impressions of the ram.
In the Premier League, Costa's goal at Chelsea was an arrogant and domineering one.
His physical fitness has made him the team's hammer and has the ability to create miracles.
Even now, Yi Le did not dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Costa, after all, although Yi Le has gained muscle, in terms of the type of player, he is still in dexterity.
He didn't dare to build too much muscle, for fear of destroying his mobility.
Sure enough, as soon as the game began, Yile became the focus of Atletico Madrid's care.
But Simeone's defensive art is obviously different from others, he did not interfere with Yile too much, but blocked Yile's passing path, and at the same time cut off the connection between Yile and Messi.
The most amazing thing is that on this basis, they can also form an encirclement network of Yile.
Yi Le was also extremely surprised by Atletico Madrid's defense, and in the face of the encirclement net, Yi Le had no choice but to transfer a long pass.
But Atletico have once again built up a coalition in another area, with a jaw-dropping pace.
In the footage, Valverde appears on the sidelines of the pitch, clasping his hands and staring at the pitch with a frown.
Obviously, he somewhat underestimated the defensive ability of this Atletico team.
They used the blocking of passing channels to freeze the passing, while also forcing Yile to be unable to get into the front court.
From time to time, Yile turned back to pay attention to Griezmann's position with Phoenix.
They are all very well-positioned and in a state of preparation.
In this case, Yile was completely frozen.
"It's easy to be pinned!"
The assistant coach came over and said.
Valverde pursed his lips, he nodded slowly, and said: "Simeone has found a way, or rather, he has found how to use the loopholes in Barcelona to restrict Yile!" ”
Yes, it's the Barcelona loophole.
If during the Paris Saint-Germain period, Atletico Madrid dared to play like this?
Both Neymar and Mbappe can kill them suddenly.
Now Atletico Madrid is taking advantage of Barcelona's inability to run, so as to limit Yile.
The game is still going on, and Yile is returning and transferring again and again.
Fans were surprised to find that Yile was mostly playing conservative passes in this game.
It's a far cry from his style of play.
But there are also some fans who know the ball and know where Yile is now.
Yile's strength is undoubted, with his performance in the Champions League, in the eyes of many teams, he is a dragon slayer that slaughters a strong team.
But even the dragon slaying knife needs a foil from a martial arts master.
Barcelona's loneliness is a fact, and the arrival of Yile has given this team a shot in the arm, but it has not solved the problem fundamentally.
Now, once Ele loses its voice, Barcelona is once again showing signs of weakness.
"Yi was heavily defended, all passing paths were blocked, and Atletico did a good job of restricting Yi in this game. They caught our pulse accurately, and although Suarez scored a lot of goals in the league, we all know that the reason why Suarez can score so many goals has a lot to do with the support in midfield. ”
"When Barcelona were in trouble, Yi came back here and helped us get out of a bad situation. And now that Yi is in trouble, who can help him? ”
As soon as the words fell, the commentator in the Barcelona area shouted in surprise; "Messi retreated!"
