"Good first half! In the second half we had to continue that rhythm...... I don't know how they will change on the Real Madrid side, but the depth of the bench is not very good at the moment, and there is no suitable replacement, at most, McManaman may play, and he will only replace Savio, or replace one of the two midfielders...... No matter how they change, we have to keep attacking in the second half and beat them with goals, we have the ability and the confidence we have, so why be conservative at home? Go on the offensive! Real Madrid's defense is much worse than their attack! ”

Dick shouted this sentence in the locker room, he is not used to pretending to be a grandson, last season pretending to be a grandson because he was not able to fully control the team, and the defense is unstable, and there is no confidence to attack, now the defense is solid, Thuram and Makelele have helped him a lot, can allow him to train the attack wholeheartedly, Atletico Madrid's attacking combination in the front court may not be considered top in terms of fame, but in terms of strength, it also has the ability to compete with a team of this level as Real Madrid. [Full text reading. 】

As he said, since you have the ability and the confidence, why should you be conservative at home? That's not what makes you popular quickly......

In this way, it is naturally in line with the requirements of Atletico Madrid's players, Jadel is used to playing in Portugal, Vicente and Camoranesi are attacking players, Belleron as a playmaker also hopes that he is the commander of the attack, Aguilera and Capdevilla's assist ability is not bad, plus defensive players like Makelele and Thuram are not willing to shrink the defense and be beaten passively, this tactic proposed by Dick is quite an appetite for them.

After a brief lay-up of tactics, Dick waved his players to rest and sat down next to Torres.

"How's it going, how did you feel about the first half?" Dick smiled and asked Torres.

"If I had been on the field, I wouldn't have done as well as Jardel......"

Torres whispered: "He was able to get the attention of the opposing two defenders, play against them and assist at the same time...... I couldn't do any of that. ”

"Haha." Dick laughed, drawing the other people's attention, so he made a gesture to the others to do their own thing, and then turned to Torres and said, "Fernando, why are you thinking about this?" You and Jardel are fundamentally two different characteristics...... He's a top centre-forward, he can score goals and he can play the ball, and his physicality and physique dictate the way he plays. And you? It's a lap smaller than him, can you play the way he does? That's not what I want you to observe. ”

"Look at Real Madrid's defence, I've done that." Torres shook his head: "They are in a good position at the back, but they are a little slower to react and turn, and their midfielders are not able to protect the backline enough because of our midfield. If I could run a little bit more rationally and pass the ball a little more beautifully behind me, I would have been able to find opportunities. ”

"It's enough to be able to see that." Dick laughed happily and patted Torres on the shoulder: "Don't forget, you're on the pitch looking for goals...... Run, wait for a pass from your teammates, and then take your chance to give them the killing blow! Do you understand! ”

"I know." Torres nodded, then glanced at Dick with some hesitation.

Dick saw what he seemed to be saying, so he whispered to him, "Stay last when you go out, and talk to me." ”

Torres nodded, Dick didn't say anything, but walked directly to Belleron and Baraja: "Ruben, Real Madrid will definitely pay attention to you in the second half, so you should be honest...... As usual, protect Juan...... Juan, a little bit further forward in the second half, used your passes and breakthroughs to suppress their defence, and in the second half, it was a tough battle. ”

Belleron and Baraja nodded at the same time, Baraja was a little unwilling, he scored two in the first half, if he could score one in the second half, no matter what team he was in, being able to score a hat-trick in the Madrid derby was enough to go down in history!

It's just that he also knows that he was able to score two goals in the first half, in addition to luck, there is also the factor that Dick's tactical arrangement is just on the weakness of Real Madrid, and Real Madrid will definitely strengthen its defense in the second half for this.

At the end of the day, he's not a goal-scoring killer, but a hard-working midfielder, and running around midfield is what he does, even if his technique and scoring ability aren't actually bad.

When half-time came, Dick clapped his hands for his players to go, while Torres deliberately fell last......

"What, is there anything you want to say? Fernando? Dick asked Torres as he walked out.

"Hmm...... Boss, I just feel that with my characteristics, even if I get better in the future, I won't be able to take the position of the main striker in the current tactics...... It's not that I can't wait, but it's hard for me to be good with this kind of tactic. Torres said with some hesitation.

Dick froze for a moment, then stopped, then looked at Torres.

Torres lowered his head, he knew that he was saying something abrupt, as if he felt that he would not play the main team in Atletico Madrid and wanted to transfer - would it make the head feel misunderstood? In that case, with the way the boss is used to, his future at Atletico may be over......

Then he heard Dick's laughter.

Dick laughed heartily, and then patted Torres on the back: "You kid, I said what are you worried about, it turns out that it is for this ......"

He walked out with Torres in his arms, and then said in a low voice: "Fernando, you have so little confidence in me?" Do you think I'm going to use only one tactic? No kidding, I'm not just going to play as a single striker...... That's right, after becoming the manager of Atletico's first team, whether it was fighting fires last season or officially coaching this season, I was used to using a single striker, even if there were four good strikers in the team, I insisted on playing a single striker most of the time...... And yet have you forgotten? What tactics did I always use when I was in Atletico Madrid! ”

This time it was Torres' turn to be a little stunned, he followed Dick's footsteps and walked forward involuntarily, while beginning to recall how Dick led the team to play last season when he was in Atletico Madrid's second team - often he would use a two-striker tactic, the center Zasinos charged forward to cover the front, and he continued to score goals - the first seven league games did not score, a big reason is that Atletico Madrid II played a pure two-striker tactic, Dick made only one change, That was to let Torres's position drop back a little, and the first game immediately made Torres score a hat-trick!

Seeing Torres' brow gradually relaxed, Dick laughed: "Figured it out, right?" ”

Torres nodded heavily: "Figured it out!" ”

"Then let's grow up quickly...... Actually, I prefer to play with two strikers! Dick let go of his hand and walked out of the tunnel first.

Torres had a heartfelt smile on his face.

"The second half is on! Atletico Madrid did not choose to make a substitution, while Real Madrid made a substitution, England midfielder McManaman replaced Argentine midfielder Cambiaso, and it seems that Real Madrid are planning to attack aggressively in the second half to salvage the situation...... Atletico Madrid's performance in the first half was quite good, they washed away the previous decline in the Madrid derby, not only scored the first goal, but also quickly took the lead again after Raul's equalizer, this season's Madrid derby, it is indeed much more exciting than before, which is of course a good thing for neutral fans, now let's see how the second half will be! ”

Atletico Madrid, who kicked off first in the second half, did not begin to shrink the defense to maintain a one-goal lead, as some commentators feared - Dick is not a manager who only pursues good looks, he does not mind using the ugliest defense to get a crucial victory, but in his opinion, in the face of this Real Madrid team, relying on defensive counterattacks alone is not much effect, they have a lot of weapons to break the dense defense, whether it is Raul's keen sense of smell in front of goal, Morientes's ability to grab points in the box and fight for the ball, Figo's breakthrough and organization, or even Robert? Carlos's powerful long-range shots are powerful weapons to break through dense defenses, and there is only one ball advantage, it is easy to shrink, and then hit out, but it is not so easy.

A more resolute push out, even if the opponent equalises, can quickly regain the initiative to launch the attack - this is a process of psychological adjustment, but also can reduce the pressure on the back line - with so many benefits, Dick certainly will not bet that the team can hold on to the end of the game without allowing Real Madrid to score.

What's more, the significance of the Madrid derby, in such a game, it is better to fall on the road of charging than to escape to survive!

Dick knows that if you want to lead Atletico Madrid to achieve good results, it is not possible to re-establish the team's strong team mentality, and for a team like Real Madrid, playing a game with momentum and integrity will have a better effect than ten other games!

Therefore, the morale of the players of Atletico Madrid is high and Real Madrid is entangled in the midfield, both sides have excellent attackers, Real Madrid is stronger in the individual ability of the attacker, but Atletico Madrid has a slight upper hand in defense, this result makes it difficult for both sides to create opportunities through the midfield, a lot of energy is used in entanglement with the other side, and both sides are also very careful on the side, because the opponent's side has an attacker that they are afraid of......

The scene fell into a stalemate, but the wonderful scenes were not uncommon, Figo's magnificent dance steps in the midfield, and Belleron's exquisite pass in the midfield...... Although McManaman's presence has reduced the defensive ability of Real Madrid's midfield, his role in the attack has fully compensated for this, which has allowed Real Madrid to have a slight upper hand in the battle for midfield - of course, there are also two wings to continue to press forward and Raul to support the midfield.

Atletico Madrid fans are a little anxious, Atletico Madrid's advantage on the field is not much now, if it continues like this, although it may not be possible to concede goals, but if you want to take the lead, it is still a bit insufficient......

"Fernando, it's time for you to play."

Just as Torres was looking at the situation on the field with some concern, Dick's voice rang in his ears, which made Torres stunned for a moment, and then reacted, looking at Dick in amazement, until he saw Dick nodding affirmatively to him, he quickly took off his coat and rushed out to warm up.
