Chapter Ninety-Two: Change
Updated: 2013-04-01
"Cruise! It's Cruise again! Cool goalkeeper push! I really didn't expect Atletico Madrid to start a new season, and the most brilliant one was Kruse...... Although he transferred from PSV Eindhoven for $10 million, this price can only rank fourth in Atletico Madrid's transfer this season, and he is usually quite low-key, but it is this low-key big man who scored the first official goal of the new season for Atletico Madrid, and scored the first league goal of the new season for Atletico Madrid, I have to say that Atletico Madrid has made a good deal on him! ”
Cruise opened his hands and high-fived Jardel, who smiled happily, but he was also a little depressed because he was brought in as the top scorer, but now Cruise is playing better than him, if Dick returns to the single striker strategy, will he lose his position......
He came to Atletico Madrid with the aura of the number one striker, and the pressure is naturally greater than that of Cruise, and Cruise's expectations are lower, and he has a characteristic of being a silent outburst, which can always surprise people - in this foil, the pressure on Jadel will naturally appear greater. [Full text reading. 】
But having a player like Cruise on the team is not only good for the whole team, but also great for his teammates......
Before the end of the first half, Atletico launched an attack, Camoranesi cut inside along the right side, Cruz pulled to the side, Camoranesi immediately passed the ball to Cruise, Cruz first made a pass feint, then dunked the ball back, and then crossed with his left foot!
When Cruise smashed the ball, Jadel took a step back, and immediately after that, he immediately rushed forward!
At this moment, Cruise's cross had already flown in!
Looking at the panicked defenders under him, Jardel accurately hit the side of the ball with his forehead, and then pushed the ball out!
“goooooooooal! Jadel! Powerful header! Cruise's cross! Dick, who played as a single striker in the previous two Super Cup games, and even used a single striker in all games last season, surprisingly adopted a two-center tactic in this game, and achieved very good results! Before the end of the first half, they were already two goals ahead! ”
"I think the sudden change in Dick's tactics was the reason why Oviedo was completely passive in the first half...... No one expected Dick to overturn all his usual tactics in the first round of the league, which is also a very risky act, but the impact and simple tactics of the two strikers make this kind of risk something difficult for the opponent to resist, and Real Oviedo is obviously not adaptable, whether it is on the wing or in the middle, it is quite a terrible thing for a team...... Atletico should be able to get off to a good start, Dick, a young man, is not a young man who will stick to a tactic, he has real materials! To be able to pick up such a top-level manager almost for nothing, old Hill's luck is really good......"
Bones did not stop praising Dick's performance, which made many other fans watching the game, especially Orvieto's fans, feel guilty - isn't it just spending so much money to buy players? If we spend so much money, we can be better than you! This is also called tactics? The simple and rough offense of piling up football stars is too untechnical!
Dick doesn't care what the technical content is or not - what technical content does it take to play a mere Royal Orviedo? It is enough to rely on the strength of the team to win the game, and there are 38 rounds in the league, but you can't empty your family in one game......
Dick began to make a rotation shortly after the start of the second half – with Hector coming on for captain Aguilera and the armband on Molina's armband, and then Ponovic for Baraja to give the midfield a little more technical.
The third substitution was reserved for Torres, who said before coming on: "Fernando, go and feel La Liga...... Don't rush to score goals, one or two goals don't matter, the important thing is that you get familiar with the atmosphere and rhythm of La Liga, understand? La Liga and La Liga are two worlds, you are still young, rushing to achieve may make your development even more difficult, keep a normal mentality, pay attention to protect yourself, remember that the player who can think is the strongest player. ”
Torres pursed his lips, then nodded, and he was sent on the pitch to replace Cruise.
Seeing that Torres was about to play, Atletico Madrid's fans cheered, although Atletico Madrid bought a lot of people, but Torres's situation is different from other players, as a homegrown player, and a well-known talent in the youth team, his first appearance in the first team is enough to make all Atletico fans happy!
When Torres and Jardel high-fived and ran onto the pitch, the stands erupted in applause from Atletico fans.
Seventeen-year-old Torres' first La Liga game has kicked off from now.
Every touch of the ball drew huge cheers from the fans, although Torres was unremarkable, occasionally catching the ball and then passing it, running back and forth in front of the pitch and playing against opposition defenders...... However, such a somewhat bland performance still made Atletico Madrid fans feel quite happy.
Fifteen minutes into the game, Torres had his first shot on goal in La Liga, a pass from Cruise after the breakout, who picked up the ball on the edge of the box and fired a quick shot from distance!
The opposing goalkeeper struggled to save the ball from the bottom line, and then fell to the ground in embarrassment, this scene made the stands resounded with huge cheers!
"The angle is still a little right......" Torres shook his head, thinking a little depressed.
Dick laughed off the field, Torres entered the first team of Atletico Madrid earlier than in history, but the current Atletico Madrid is not the same as Atletico Madrid in history, at that time Atletico Madrid stayed in La Liga for two years, hoping that Torres could turn the tide, so the pressure on his body is actually very great, and now, Atletico Madrid is not as depressed as in history, even if Torres has entered the team for more than half a year, he will definitely not bear so much pressure!
"Grow up, lad, and I'd like to see a stronger Torres born in my hands......" Dick said with a heartfelt smile.
The final result of the game was 2-0, thanks to the first-half goals of the two strikers, Atletico Madrid won the victory, thus beating Real Madrid and Barcelona in the standings with a 2-1 score - the first place is last year's dark horse Rayo Vallecano, who swept promoted Villarreal 5-1 away, Alaves who beat another promoted Palmas 3-0 in second place, and Celta who beat Osasuna by two goals away in third place. Atletico are in fourth place.
After this game, Atletico Madrid is ready to leave for the first game of the first round of the League Cup, Atletico Madrid is not familiar with this opponent at all, but Dick does not feel that he may capsize in the gutter, he only brought 18 players with him to the away game, leaving all five main players of Belleron, Aguilera, Gamarara, Camoranesi and Jadel in Madrid to rest, which seems risky, but it also proves Dick's confidence in his team.
For this Slovenian team, Dick really didn't pay attention to it, the level of the Slovenian national team in Europe can only be regarded as second-rate, and the outstanding players of their national team are basically playing in other leagues, the level of the national team cannot be too high, even if Atletico Madrid does not take the main force to go, the level of substitutes is far more than the other party, Dick also wants to use this kind of game to train the substitute players, you can't buy them and not let them play, the league has just started, there is no problem with more rotations, By the halfway point of the season, the squad needs to stabilize, and the substitutes probably won't have much chance to play at that time, unless the main player is injured - so at this time, give the substitutes some chance to play.
The team, whose name Dick didn't remember much, did not cause much trouble for Atletico Madrid, in this game Dick sent all the substitutes, the goalkeeper was replaced by Moura, David, Héctor, Sandy and Marchena formed the defensive line, the midfield was partnered with Bakas and Bonovic, Beybur appeared on the right side, only Vicente continued to start, the forward partner was Cruz and Correa, and Torres continued to be the substitute.
Although the final score of this game was only 1-0, Atletico Madrid created quite a few chances in the game, but they were unable to score more goals because of some poor cooperation, and only Correa scored in the second half in front of the goal.
'I'm happy with our defence, we are improving offensively. Atletico are a brand new team now and every day they are stronger than the day before. I'm very confident in Atletico's results this season because it's a team with a lot of potential! ”
After returning to Madrid, Dick said this in an interview.
However, the media that are not Atletico Madrid fans do not think so, there are many reporters who feel that with Atletico Madrid's investment this summer, the game always seems to be very chaotic, which is not a good thing, and there is no definite main lineup until now, Dick did a very good job when fighting fires, but some coaches are indeed only suitable for firefighting and mending, and not suitable for leading a complete team - there are indeed such examples, there are many famous firefighting coaches when they start a full season, It will expose all kinds of shortcomings.
Now Dick, it seems that he has begun to expose this deficiency, after the start of the league, he overturned the main tactics that had been established for a summer, and immediately changed from 451 to 442, which makes people feel that Dick just didn't have any planning at all when he was buying people, and he played wherever he wanted.
And the next round of the league seems to prove this, in the second round of the league, Dick reverted to the tactics of 451, Belleron returned to the main lineup, but in this game, Atletico Madrid seemed to play a lot worse, they created a lot of opportunities but did not take advantage of them, and finally lost 0-2 away to Valladolid, the ranking slipped to 10th.
Dick began to show his shortcomings...... Atletico's performance this season is probably starting to be worrying. A lot of journalists are starting to express that sentiment.
