Chapter 180: The Pressure Brought by Atletico Madrid

The score behind did not make Bayern's players panic, they are all very experienced players, and they are also mentally prepared for this kind of backward situation - you must know that they all have a lot of honors, Bundesliga titles, Champions League titles......

So after Atletico's celebrations, they started to attack and try to get the score back, and they weren't worried about not being able to score because they had a lot of attacking players.

However, Heathfield has frowned on the sidelines, as a coach, he can always see more clearly than the players on the field, now Bayern's attack can have some effect, and can gain some advantages on the side, but after pressing the attack, their backfield gap will be very large, plus the characteristics of several central defenders, their backfield gap will be magnified!

What now? Keep pressing on the offense? What if Atletico continue to hit us with quick counter-attacks? Recycle the defense? With a goal down, the young manager wouldn't mind just spending the rest of his time!

If the previous managers for the sake of honor and championships, the appearance is still very elegant, but also pay attention to a beautiful victory and image, but Dick, a young man, does not seem to care about this at all, as proved in the League Cup last season, he won the two games against Parma in the safest way, and in the game against Roma, when the home win was a big score, he began to defend on the road, and finally held a draw - the appearance is also ugly!

Many head coaches feel that this is wrong - just like in the old boy movie, those old old boys angrily said that the young people nowadays are not righteous, do not worship the second brother, and only look at the money, they are unhappy, they are heartbroken, they think that the country will not be a country...... But Dick didn't care about this practice, he knew that only by winning the championship could he be qualified to go down in history!

In fact, there are not no such ultra-conservative managers before, such as Cooper is a good example, but Cooper has not won the championship, but Dick has already won two heavyweight championships, with such a previous experience, Heathfield really believes that he will be very satisfied with the result of a small victory.

So he just watched from the sidelines, hoping that the team's attack could go a little smoother, and at the same time lamenting that the country has no unscrupulous players - if Effenberg, Sauer and Jeremes were not injured, then Bayern would not be the way they are now, at least they don't need two full-backs to insert too deep to be able to dominate on the wing!

Bayern's attack began to look for opportunities, while Atletico Madrid was defending steadily, ready to counter-attack at any time - and they didn't have too many concerns in defense, Effenberg was not there, Basler had long since left, Sauer was injured, and Bayern now lacked set-piece players, so they also looked quite tough in defense.

Two minutes after Atletico's goal, Héctor brought down Salihamidzic on the flank, Bayern won a free-kick, Sforza crossed the ball into the box, and Thiam grabbed the first point with Thuram's interference, but it was high and wide.

The next game looked dull, under Atletico Madrid's defense, Bayern failed to create too many opportunities, and Bayern's counterattack against Atletico Madrid also began to pay more attention, and would rather pass more than give Atletico any chance to counterattack when attacking, and the scene began to become dull.

Vicente completed a counter-attack through a breakthrough, this time under the defense of Kovac and Hargreaves, he could only barely break through and shoot with his feet, Kahn easily got the ball, Bayern quickly launched a counterattack, Sforza passed the ball in the middle to Sagnol, who inserted the assist, Sagnor forced the ball down the cross, and then still passed the ball into the box under the defense of Capdevilla, Elber grabbed in front of Thuram and shook his head to shoot, the ball was slightly wide of the far post.

"Well, there seems to be a little bit of a problem with air defense...... Dick thought to himself, after all, the cooperation between Stam and Thuram is not tacit enough, they have not played together together, and Bayern's wing offensive ability is also quite good, so if you want to play like this, you can't seem to keep the lead of this goal by relying only on defense.

"Still need to make a fuss about counterattack......"

Dick's eyes swept over the front court, where Atletico's front trident was constantly roaming, waiting for an opportunity to counter-attack - although only one of Bayern's two wide players would always step forward at this time, but it was not without chance.

Dick stood up, and then made a gesture to the stadium to defend back, Atletico Madrid began to strengthen the high-altitude ball defense in the penalty area, no matter how Bayern's forwards pulled in the penalty area, they were just guarding a few key points unwavering, Bayern from both wings several consecutive crosses were accurately judged by Stam and then pushed out one by one - Stam's strength in this area is still extremely good!

After Stam's header cleared again, Dick gave a thumbs up on the pitch and sat back in his place with a satisfied face, and when he saw this scene on the broadcast camera, one of the commentators sighed: "Dick is indeed a very defensive-minded manager...... Stamm's joining once again refreshed Atletico Madrid's highest record for a single signing, and from now on, the money is well spent, Atletico Madrid's defense last season was already excellent, that was the key to their league championship and League Cup title, but in the defense of high-altitude balls, Atletico Madrid seems to be a little poor, and now Stamm's joining is undoubtedly to make up for this shortcoming, although the cooperation between him and Thuram is not tacit enough, but for players who have only played four games together, It's good enough, and as time goes on, Stam will only get better and better, and it's almost impossible for such a superstar, especially a defensive player, to have a sudden dip in form, and it seems unlikely that Atletico will make waves of their own in the Champions League this season.

Seeing Dick sit back in peace of mind, Heathfield frowned, then looked down at the clock - it was almost forty minutes into the first half, and if he stepped up his attack to equalize at this time, it seemed that there would still be a dozen more in the second half......

So Heathfield stood up and made a gesture to press on the attack.

At the same time as he stood up, Dick also stood up, and made the same pressing gesture to the field!

When Bayern's players began to organize attacks in the frontcourt, Atletico Madrid began to press forward, and when they saw that Atletico Madrid no longer retreated to defend in the penalty area, Bayern's players still felt that this was their chance to attack, but soon, they began to feel the huge pressure brought to them by Atletico Madrid's press!

Bayern's midfielders wanted to play a good pass to the striker, so that the three strikers with good speed and skill could break through the defense that had begun to become a little loose, but they soon found that they could not do this under the pressure of the Atletico midfield, and when they were forced to pass the ball to the wing, Atletico Madrid had expanded their pressing area to the wing!

Sarnior was forced to defend Vicente immediately after receiving the ball, and at the same time Baraja was also forced from one side, seeing that Pizarro in front of him was also marked by Capdevilla, and the two midfielders in the middle were under the pressure of Makelele and Belleron, in desperation, Sagnol could only choose to pass back, but the ball just flew halfway, and was cut off by Belleron in the middle of the ball with his foot raised!

Seeing that Belleron broke the ball halfway, Bayern's midfielder immediately pressed Belleron on the one hand, and on the other hand, he began to quickly return to defense for fear that Atletico Madrid would play a fast attack, but Belleron did not rush to attack, but pulled the ball on the spot and turned around to get rid of Sforza, who came up to press, and then safely passed the ball to Baraja, Baraja and Héctor passed back and forth twice, which passed the ball back to Belleron's feet again.

"Atletico have switched to positional warfare...... It seems that Bayern has also begun to be very vigilant against Atletico's counterattack after scoring a goal by Atletico Madrid's counterattack! ”

In the commentator's commentary, Atletico Madrid's players gradually pushed the ball into the midfield, and Bayern began to press in their own half, but under the organization of Belleron, Atletico Madrid was not distracted by the opponent's pressing - of course, this also has a lot to do with Bayern's midfield control decline.

Sforza could only interfere with Atletico's passing back and forth, and although Hargreaves could run, he couldn't move too far forward, because if he did, there would be little protection at the edge of the box......

Heathfield's set of three, four, three, in the middle of the oppression, is far inferior to the three-five-two lineup three years ago, especially in the middle - but Heathfield can't help it, this is also a clever woman is difficult to cook, although the number of midfielders is quite a lot, but it hurts the three main levels in one breath, even Bayern, it will be quite difficult in the scheduling of personnel.

Belleron played the ball to Baraja and then ran to the wing, his run caught the attention of the Bayern defenders, but instead of passing the ball to Belleron, Baraja passed the ball to Jorgensen, who was inserted from the wing to the middle.

Jorgensen took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, Hargreaves pressed up, he seemed to be forced by Hargreaves to be a little untenable, he could only choose to turn around to protect the ball, and at the moment of turning, he raised his foot to distribute the ball to the side and handed it to Belleron who got the ball on the side!

Lizarazu and Link began to press towards Belleron, Bayern's defensive center of gravity was once again deflected from the center to the side, but Belleron raised his foot and handed the ball to the middle again at the moment of receiving the ball!

After Jorgensen drew Hargreaves out, there was a small gap in the edge of Bayern's box, and Belleron seized the moment to pass the ball over, and Jadel received the ball at the edge of the box!

Thiam immediately pounced, Jardel's turning volley in this place is also quite threatening, he immediately pressed up, intending to use his body to block Jardel, but he ignored one point - Jardel is a Brazilian player, although his foot skills are not particularly good, but in the face of a hasty pounce and pounce quite fiercely Thiam, Jardel still has a great deal of confidence to rush past him......

When Thiam was about to stick to Jadel, Jadel quickly slammed the ball and rushed past him!

Atletico Madrid fans in the stands cheered in surprise at the same time!
