Chapter 326: This powerful Atletico Madrid

As the players from both sides lined up, there was a deafening uproar at Calderón Stadium.

It's the home team putting pressure on the visitors. Although Atletico Madrid's results have not been satisfactory over the years, Atletico Madrid, which is fighting at home, is still very combative!

And Calderón's fans worked very hard today, because they wanted to give the new manager a kick-down - we are Atletico Madrid, not a small team like Luton!

It's just that Atletico Madrid fans found that Gao Bo did not react to their performance in the slightest.

In fact, Gao Bo has also experienced a lot of similar scenes, he has been to away games that are more popular than this atmosphere, and now these fans are also his own fans, no matter how loud the fans are, Gao Bo also regards him as a help for his team.

Gao Bo didn't actually pay much attention to the performance of Calderón fans, as for him, he had already opened up the card system and was ready to equip the cards.

He has an orange card ticket, but yesterday he gritted his teeth and used it!

And the boost effect of orange cards is of course very amazing.

[Match Card (Orange): Increase pass success rate by 20% within 15 meters; Increases forward pass success rate by 15%! 】

The orange card actually began to appear with dual attributes!

Gao Bo was simply surprised and delighted when he saw this. Now as it becomes more and more difficult to level up, the number of his card slots has stayed at five, which has not changed for a long time, and even if it is a powerful card, he can only equip five cards at most, and no more.

And now the orange card actually has a dual-attribute card, so.... Will more advanced cards have three attributes, or even more?

Moreover, the improvement range of the orange card is also much higher, and the overall success rate of short passes has increased by 20%!

Such an attribute improvement is really quite exaggerated!

With a few more cards like this, he can even make the players switch between different tactics at any time! His tactics will be more flexible.

However, Gao Bo hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't equip this card.

Because Sporting Gijón is not a very good opponent, and if the success rate increases by 20%, if the base success rate is higher, doesn't it mean that the improvement is greater?

However, Gao Bo also found a bug by himself.

For example, if the team achieves an average of 80 per cent success rate in a 15-metre range per game, doesn't that mean that the team can pass to the players no matter how they pass?

When Gao Bo asked this question, the mechanical sound of the card system sounded.

"The 20 per cent increase in success rate refers to an increase in the success rate per pass, not an increase in the average pass success rate for the whole game. For example, if a player is standing in the center circle and you have to go in the opposite direction, the success rate of this pass will be judged to be zero, and if the foundation is zero, no amount of improvement will be ineffective. And if the ball is already passed well, it doesn't matter if the success rate increases. ”

Gao Bo nodded suddenly, this is easy to understand.

For example, if you make a five-to-five pass, the card can increase the chance of getting the ball by 20% out of thin air, which is not a small increase.

Gao Bo decided to keep a hand first.

It's still the same as the original three:

[Match Card (Blue): Increases the physical fitness of the whole team by 15%!] 】

[Match Card (Blue): The team's steal success rate has been increased by 15%!] 】

[Match Card (Blue): Counterattack success rate increased by 15%!] 】

Other than these three, Gao Bo didn't have any other cards equipped.

Because he took a look at the La Liga schedule, in the third round of the league, the team will face Barcelona at home!

Gao Bo knows very well how good Barcelona has been in recent seasons! So he decided to keep one hand first, hiding it clumsily, and couldn't let Guardiola see all his abilities at once!

And if he faces an opponent like Sporting Gijón and Gao Bo has to play all his cards to win, then winning the championship this season will become a joke.

If you can't even win the relegation team, how can you win the championship?

.......

Players from both sides are shaking hands at this point.

In China, CCTV is also broadcasting the game live.

Perhaps considering the special situation of La Liga this season - the head coach of Atletico Madrid is actually Chinese, so the deep-pocketed CCTV simply bought the broadcast rights of La Liga in Chinese mainland, and CCTV has changed from a professional account in Serie A to a live broadcast of La Liga games.

For domestic fans, in addition to the Spanish national derby, the La Liga match is also a must-watch match for many fans.

It's already four o'clock in the morning in China, and for most Chinese fans, most of the La Liga games are not very friendly - when playing in Spain, most of the games in China are one or two in the morning, or even three or four o'clock.

"Good viewers, welcome to the last match of the first round of the Spanish Primera League, where Atletico Madrid hosts Sporting Gijón, broadcast live on CCTV Sports Channel! Can Atletico Madrid, led by Chinese coach Gao Bo, get off to a good start to the season in this game? We'll see!! ”

Duan Xuan's voice came from the TV, he and Gao Bo commented a lot of games together during the World Cup, so he and Gao Bo are also acquaintances, and his position in this game is quite obvious.

"Let's take a look at the starting lists of the two sides first, the home team Atletico Madrid, goalkeeper De Gea, right wingback Juanfran on the backline, central defender Godin and young German central defender Boateng partnered, left wingback Alex Sandro, midfield, Atletico Madrid lined up a three-midfield formation, Kante, Modric, Raul Garcia three midfielders started, on the forward line, Griezmann on the right, Reyes on the left, and in the middle was the Argentine talented striker Aguero! The start of this game came as a surprise to many, almost all of the new signings brought by Gao Bo this season have started, and last season's main team of Atletico Madrid is currently only starting De Gea, Aguero, and Reyes, and last season's substitute Raul Garcia looks set to be taken seriously by Gao Bo this season. ”

"On the side of Sporting Gijón, they started with goalkeeper four Cuellars, right-back Sastella, centre-backs Podia and Gregory, left-back Canella, midfielder Eguren partnered Riella, left wing-back Castro, midfielder Carmelo, right-wing-back Novo, striker Barral! This is also the main force, and Sporting Gijón's head coach Preciado must be hoping to at least get points away from home! ”

After Duan Xuan finished reading the starters of both teams, the game had already begun.

From the very beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid was firmly in control of the game.

Sporting Gijón also quickly retreated to half-time. Facing Atletico Madrid away, Sporting Gijón is of course focusing on counterattacks, and Atletico Madrid is naturally pressing all out to win.

Atletico Madrid controlled the ball and slowly pressed the formation.

In the warm-up game, Gao Bo asked the team to pass the ball as quickly as possible. However, in official matches, the team certainly doesn't always play with fast-paced passing, especially against opponents like Sporting Gijón.

Control the ball, then suddenly pick up the tempo at certain moments, disrupting the opposition's defensive deployment with a change of tempo. This is a common tactic used by strong teams when facing weak teams.

Atletico Madrid is the same, they are not holding back just because it is the first game of the season.

The intense pre-season training worked.

The high-intensity training not only allowed the players to be tempered in terms of physical fitness, technique and tactics, but more importantly, the players' discipline was also improved.

Players who can persevere in such high-intensity training will naturally be able to perform well in terms of discipline in the execution of tactics.

This is also the benefit of Gao Bo after almost eliminating all the veterans.

There are no veteran players in the team, even captain Simão and number one striker Diego Forlan have left, and Gao Bo has brought more than a dozen new players at once, in such an environment, who can take the lead against Gao Bo's leadership?

The locker room was supposed to be a complicated place, but with a dozen new people coming in, it was much simpler.

In order to win the main position, the players have to train hard. Want to clique up to earn a position? Gao Bo can kick him out at any time, and then let the players he brings in the position.

At this time, the players are also playing very the field.

Despite the slow pace, every player is a desperate run, receiving and passing the ball after running out of gaps, and every player in Atletico Madrid does not leave the ball at their feet for too long, although they are not fast in passing and running, but the speed of passing is not slow.

Three or four minutes into the game, Sporting Gijón didn't even touch the skin.

The Atletico Madrid fans in the stands also had a good time, and the Atletico Madrid players played a game of possession on the pitch.

With a constant pass, the ball moved from left to right, and then slowly approached the edge of the Sporting Gijón penalty area.

In the fourth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid, which was still making short passes, suddenly changed, and when Modric got the ball at the edge of the penalty area, he directly transferred the ball to the left!

At this point, all of Sporting Gijon's defenders were pinned down on the right, so the left was completely empty.

Reyes stopped the ball accurately in a barely defended situation and Modric's move was like a signal.

This time Reyes didn't pass the ball again, he took the ball into the box and then distributed it near the top of the arc of the box when facing the opposing defender!

Raul Garcia won the ball in this area and he picked up his right foot to shoot on goal.

However, just as the opposing central defender made a blocking move, Raul Garcia suddenly passed the ball to the right post!

The Spanish midfielder is not only able to provide tough physical confrontation on the defensive end, but also in terms of footwork, Raul Garcia is also very delicate!

The football was rubbed up, and Griezmann at the back point was killed!

And at this time, the goalkeeper of Sporting Gijón Cuellar moved over and sealed the near corner!

Griezmann saw that the angle of the shot was blocked, and he did not force a shot, but the end of the arch of his foot, and gently passed the ball to the middle!

The ball went over the heads of the centre-backs, and the next thing for Aguero to follow was simple – he only needed a light header and the ball went into the empty net!

1 to 0!!!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！”

Aduris jumped up from the commentary bench, the fat on his body rolling like a wave, but the big fat man didn't notice this, he pressed the headset with his hand, and when Reyes passed the ball, Aduris was ready!

The Spanish commentators are like that, when a goal is scored, they can keep yelling at the sky.

After a while, Aduris took a breath and continued.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!”

Aduris roared for a minute, and the celebrations of Aguero and others on the field were almost over.

That's when his partner Matteo began to say: "One to zero!! Atletico Madrid scored in less than five minutes of the opening period!! Look at how they scored goals! Before the goal, they kept passing the ball, from left to right, from the back to the front, and in the process, Sporting Gijón didn't even touch the ball! ”

"They almost got the ball into the Sporting Gijón goal!!"

"You know which team reminds me of that, Adu?!"

"Of course, I think of them too."

"Atletico Madrid actually played tiki taka on the field!!"

Tiki Taka is the word that people use to describe Barcelona's tactical system.

Short passes and frequent runs to keep possession and take the pressure off defenders. This tactical arrangement is different from the traditional football tactical concept, from the Cruyff era, to the Guardiola era, Barcelona's tike-taka in the hands of Guardiola, and finally Guardiola's Barcelona won the six crowns in the 2008-2009 season, known as the Cosmos team!

And the Spanish national team also uses this set of tactical play as the cornerstone, and while winning the European Cup, it also won the World Cup this season!

All of a sudden, almost all football coaches were working on this tactical system.

However, Gao Bo does not think that his team is playing tike-taka!

Because Barcelona's passing possession is for defense – most people think that Barcelona keep possession for the purpose of attacking, but this is actually a mistake.

Barcelona keep possession in order to defend, they keep the ball at their feet more so that the opposition has fewer opportunities to attack, so that there is less pressure on Barcelona's own backline.

On the offensive end, Barcelona relied on the connection between Xavi-Iniesta and Messi, using sudden changes in rhythm and Messi's strong advantage in one-on-one to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Gao Bo's Atletico Madrid possession pass is not aimed at defense - in terms of defense, Gao Bo relies on tight formation and discipline, using tough close pressing to disrupt the opponent's attack and at the same time snatch the ball back.

The purpose of his team's constant passing is to mobilize and disrupt the opposition's defensive deployment, and find opportunities for the two wings or centre-forwards to take the ball and attack the opponent's weak areas.

Just like this goal, when the opposition defence is moved to the side, both Modric and Raul Garcia have the ability to move the ball.

If Reyes or Antoine Griezmann are on the weak side of the defence, the opposition defence is very vulnerable to leaks in the process of moving - because both of them have a good ability to break through with the ball, which forces the opposition to have more than two players move to defend at once.

The attack on both flanks is an important starting point for Atletico Madrid's attack.

Therefore, most of Atletico Madrid's possession is in the front court area, which means that Sporting Gijón is too weak, if you meet a team that is a little stronger, Gao Bo will not ask the team to maintain possession - let the ball out, Atletico Madrid can use the front court to force the ball to play counterattack.

And now Sporting Gijón is not putting too much pressure on Atletico Madrid, so the possession rate on Atletico's side is very high, which can easily be mistaken for tike-taka.

Gao Bo briefly celebrated with his assistants before returning to the court.

After conceding the goal, Sporting Gijón was a little overwhelmed, and Atletico Madrid's offensive began to rise wave after wave.

The difference in strength between the two sides is very obvious.

The cheers of the fans at the Calderón Stadium were deafening.

And the second goal was not long in coming.

Same routine as the previous goal.

This time it was from Griezmann's side.

Griezmann ran out of space on the right and received a through ball from N'Golo Kante in the flanks of the box, then Griezmann spun around and fired a right-footed shot straight inside the box!

Hand up and knife down!

Next city!

Two-to-!!

It was only the twenty-third minute of the first half.

Halfway through the first half, Sporting Gijón was already two goals behind.

Atletico Madrid completely suppressed their opponents, and Sporting Gijón could only be beaten passively away from home.

Sporting Gijón's manager, Precidoa, was standing on the sidelines, and he was already a little unsure of what to do.

It reminded him of the feeling of powerlessness he had last season, and even last season when he faced Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

It's just that.... Has Atletico Madrid been so strong this season?

Precidoa no longer have the idea of picking up points, and being able to lose a few goals in this stadium and keep the team's morale from collapsing is Precidoa's biggest goal.

Sporting Gijón retreated across the board, and even their forwards returned to the edge of the box to participate in the defense.

But even so, they were able to stop Atletico Madrid's attack.

The more Atletico Madrid players played, the more excited they became.

They didn't get much pressure on the ball at all with their passing on the ball at the edge of the box, so their confidence gradually rose.

Their hard work this summer was not in vain, even if Sporting Gijón is weak, it will be quite difficult for Atletico Madrid to score a goal for them last season, unlike this game, Atletico Madrid seems to be able to score at any time!

Sure enough, the third goal wasn't too long apart.

In the 38th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid made a breakthrough from the middle.

Sergio Aguero runs out of the box to pick up the ball.

Raul Garcia through pass.

Sergio Aguero splits the ball to the wing.

Reyes slipped on the side and then passed the ball back to the triangle.

Raul Garcia stepped forward, but he cleverly slipped the ball through!

Football is back at the top of the arc of the penalty area!

Kante has already killed this area, and he is not polite, in the case of no defense, Kante directly volleyed with his right foot!

The soccer ball flies straight into the net from the top left corner!

Even N'Golo Kante, who was responsible for defending in midfield, pressed to the edge of the penalty area, which shows the passive form of Sporting Gijón in this game.

Atletico Madrid led 3-0 in the first half, and the two sides went into halftime.

In the second half, the situation at Sporting Gijón did not improve.

Atletico Madrid is still firmly in control! After taking a three-goal lead, Atletico Madrid was not in a hurry.

Gao Bo began to dispatch troops.

It is impossible for him to rely on these eleven people on the field to play all the games this season, so Gao Bo chose to let the young people go on the field to exercise at this time.

He mainly changed the attacker in the front court.

Sadio Mane came on and replaced Reyes.

The Senegalese youngster is fast, but he lacks experience on the pitch. However, Mane is not a player that Gao Bo has relied on this season, and he put Mane on the pitch mainly to allow him to accumulate more experience as soon as possible so that he can come in handy in the future.

Koke also came on and he replaced Raul Garcia.

Koke, an academy product, made just one appearance for the senior team last season – coming off the bench in the 80th minute and having just 10 minutes of first-team experience.

Therefore, this youngster also needs more games to practice.

"Gao Bo sent two youngsters in succession, and he is qualified to do this because his team is already 3-0 ahead!"

And the fans of Atletico Madrid in the stands were also quite excited, they sang and danced on the pitch. In the first game of the season, the team gave them such a big surprise.

And for the two youngsters to play, the fans are also very face-saving.

The applause and cheers were deafening.

Mane came on amid such cheers and he was still a little nervous.

In the 58th minute of the game, teenager Mane was tackled, and Sporting Gijón was ready to fight back on the spot.

Fortunately, Sandro quickly pressed up and immediately stuck to the opponent's player with the ball, and then Koke also came over, and Mane immediately returned to the defense.

The three-man encirclement was immediately formed and snatched the ball back.

Gao Bo was very satisfied with the team's handling this time on the sidelines.

The discipline of the three-man combination this time made Gao Bo quite satisfied with the team's pre-season training this season.

Soon, Gao Bo was replaced again.

This time it was Diego Costa who came in.

Diego Costa is not well-known right now, but Gobo knows the striker's potential.

He's definitely a striker who can't be weaker than Sergio Aguero, and he's a different type of striker than Sergio Aguero, so Diego Costa might be able to play a surprise role against different teams.

And Diego Costa scored soon after he came on!

It was a typical centre-forward goal.

Modric's through ball went straight to the feet of Diego Costa.

Diego took the ball with his back and arched himself, then forced a turn and shot at goal.

The ball refracted on the feet of the opposing centre-back, and the goalkeeper who had reacted could do nothing about it!

Diego Costa scores!

Atletico Madrid leads 4-0!

And this is also the score after the end of the game.

In the first round of the season, Atletico Madrid defeated Sporting Gijón 4-0 and made a good start to the league!

After the game, Sporting Gijón coach Precidoa had a gloomy face.

His side suffered a big defeat at the start of the season, and in the post-match press conference, Precidoa was optimistic about the quality of the current Atletico Madrid team.

"I think all of us have overlooked Atletico Madrid, Gao Bo has done a great job at Atletico Madrid! Looking at their performance in this game, I think Atletico Madrid have a bright future ahead of them this season if they can maintain their consistency. ”

But how many people were able to attract the attention of Precidoa's words?

This is unknown.
