873 is completely passive

The game was very intense from the start!

For Atletico Madrid's tough style at home, Manchester City has long been prepared.

And after the game started, Atletico Madrid fans no longer had any warm expressions for Gao Bo.

Pre-game to pre-game.

Race is a game!

Atletico Madrid fans also don't expect their former manager to let their former manager let out water in the middle of the game because of their passion for Gobo.

In fact, when they found out that their team's opponent was Gao Bo, Atletico Madrid fans knew that this game was difficult!

It has nothing to do with the quality of Atletico Madrid and Manchester City.

Simply because, they know very well what kind of coach Gao Bo is.

They are until, Gao Bo is not the kind of coach who will release water, he will definitely make his team go all out in the game to beat Atletico Madrid.

Only by giving it your all can you respect your opponent and your previous team.

This is Gao Bo's style.

Naturally, Atletico Madrid fans know it all too well.

They came here, on the one hand, in addition to fighting with the team, and on the other hand, to see their meritorious coaches.

The game was kicked off first by Manchester City.

As soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid retracted into their own half and waited for it!

And when the football landed at the feet of Manchester City and started to work, the fans at the scene watched a little complicated.

As good as Simeone did, they would probably appreciate Simeone's style if it weren't for Gao Bo.

But although Simeone has inherited Gao Bo's style of football to some extent, the current Atletico Madrid has also made a strong mark on Simeone.

That is, when facing strong teams, Simeone's team will be tougher, more physically confrontational, and of course, more conservative.

And when the game started, Simeone found that he still underestimated this Manchester City!

No wonder it's a terrifying team that has won 30 consecutive Premier League games!

Their deliveries are so smooth and gorgeous that they can't be true!

As soon as they started to have possession, the game was completely in the hands of Manchester City.

Even if Atletico Madrid wants to foul, it's hard to find someone.

The ball passes from under one person's feet to another.

Pass!

Movement!

It all happened so naturally.

And if Atletico Madrid has a hole in which area, the deadly forward pass will come immediately!

Under the pass of Manchester City, the players of Atletico Madrid can only follow the running of Manchester City players!

But this kind of passive running is very tiring.

Simeone is well aware of this.

He hasn't been studying Manchester City for a day or two, however, when he really comes face to face with this team on the field, he can really feel how terrible this team is!

"It's not going to go on like this, Diego!"

Simeone's assistant had a somewhat serious expression.

Since the start of the game, although City have not yet attempted to shoot, their passes have been too fluid and the game has fallen into their preferred rhythm.

However, such a rhythm is not what Atletico Madrid likes.

Frequent round-ups, steals, fouls, counterattacks!

Even fouled in the front court, creating free kicks, and attacking from set-pieces.

That's the rhythm that Simeone's team likes.

These seemingly utilitarian things with a very pure purpose were taken to the extreme by Simeone!

Of course, the biggest reason for being able to play to the extreme is his team's iron-blooded discipline and super execution.

However, none of that is going to be seen in this game.

Gabi did commit a foul once, and it was only after Kaka passed the ball that he tripped Kaka.

And this foul also gave the captain of Atletico Madrid a yellow card.

As a direct consequence of this, Gabi never dared to try such a move in the future.

If he received two yellow cards in the first half, it would have been too big a blow for Atletico Madrid.

Of course, this penalty naturally caused Simeone's strong dissatisfaction!

He ran to the sidelines and roared loudly.

Strictly speaking, this yellow card penalty is indeed a bit strict, but this is not a referee's mistake and miss, and there is no bias, it is purely that the referee blows it tightly.

Blowing tight is naturally good for Manchester City!

Therefore, the tactics formulated by Atletico Madrid before the game, each of which was aimed at Manchester City, but under Manchester City's strong possession advantage, their pre-game tactics could not be played at all.

It's very uncomfortable!

Atletico Madrid did not limit Manchester City, but was disrupted by Manchester City.

The more this game is played, the more wrong it gets.

Because the rhythm is not on my side at all.

They are now completely following the rhythm of Manchester City.

It's painful to be forced to play football that you're not familiar with.

Although the game had only been played for more than ten minutes, the players of Atletico Madrid felt as if they had played most of the half.

Even when there were some dead balls in the game, Mane even had some respite.

Mane's physical fitness is very good, even he is like this, you can imagine how much pressure Manchester City has brought to Atletico Madrid in the past ten minutes!

'It was the top of the Premier League table against the top of the La Liga table, but the game was one-sided, which was really unexpected. Of course, this also explains why Manchester City can look down on the Premier League, not because the Premier League is too weak, but because Manchester City is too strong! ”

The Spanish commentator sighed.

"I can even assert that even if Manchester City come to La Liga, they can win the title by a very big, if not bigger!"

Another narrator spoke.

Seeing his players forced to run after the football, Simeone couldn't be calm anymore.

When the Atletico Madrid players ran in front of the Manchester City players, the Manchester City players were already passing the ball.

Manchester City's players can pass the ball faster than Atletico Madrid's.

In this way, it is basically the Atletico Madrid players who are exhausted and run behind the butts of the Manchester City players.

In the long run, Atletico Madrid will collapse sooner or later......

Taking advantage of a deadball opportunity, Simeone quickly made adjustments, and he called the captain Gabby.

"Take it back, stick to the penalty area, don't run away with their passes!"

Simeone emphasized.

He looked at Gabi, who was a little out of breath, if he didn't adjust, when Manchester City's Atletico Madrid physical energy was almost exhausted, Atletico Madrid was afraid that the defense would collapse.

"Go straight to Diego and Mane after the break! Let them break through and make a free kick! ”

If Atletico Madrid has any advantages, perhaps set-piece attacks are one of them!
