Chapter 225: Real Madrid's Change

Assistant coach Boggs soon returned and informed the players that it was time to play. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The players nodded in agreement, and then rushed out of the dressing room.

Courtois hung at the end and grabbed Qin Shou.

"Qin, do you think we can really win the final championship?"

Courtois's eyes were full of anticipation, and he was expecting an affirmative answer from Qin Shou's mouth.

"Don't you have the answer in your own mind, Thibaud?" Qin Shou didn't answer his question head-on, but smiled and asked instead, "Is your matter confirmed?" ”

"Sure. Chelsea are sure to bring me back at the end of the season and this is my last game at Atletico Madrid. ”

Courtois's expression was a little unnatural, with regret and loss. He and his agent worked hard for a long time, and Atletico Madrid FC put in enough effort, but the end result was ...... Courtois shook his head and sighed softly.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked softly, "What about you, Qin?" I've heard that a lot of Premier League teams are interested in you, and Chelsea is one of them, so you ......'

'Don't talk about that now, I'm thinking about this Champions League final right now. Qin Shou understood what he meant, but shook his head.

In this team, Qin Shou and his teammates get along very well and have a good relationship, but if you want to say that the relationship is closest, Courtois is definitely one of them. So there are things he is willing to say to Courtois.

However, now is obviously not the time to talk about this, Qin Shou does not want to discuss this issue.

He patted Courtois on the shoulder and said heavily: "Whatever the future holds, now we must go and conquer Europe." Thibault, I promised, this is a parting gift for you. ”

With that, Qin Shou walked out.

Courtois looked at the back that disappeared in the doorway, and clenched his fists: "This is also my gift to you and Jennifer!" ”

The clock was 6:59, a minute before the start of the final.

The two teams stood on either side of the centre circle, with Italian referee Nicolas Murphy standing on either side of the circle. Rizzoli was looking at his watch, and the eyes of the fans were focused on the pitch.

The time came to seven o'clock, a crisp whistle sounded, Rizzoli blew the opening whistle of this season's Champions League final, and the game officially began!

"Hello everyone! Hello everyone! Tune in to the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League final, where Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will battle it out for the highest glory in Europe at Wembley Stadium, a historic and glorious stadium! ”

"This is a moment of great anticipation! Two teams from Spain and Madrid reached the final at the same time, which is a scene that has never been seen before in the history of the Champions League! This intra-city civil war in Madrid, no matter who emerges victorious, will make new history! ”

"Needless to say, there is a long-standing feud between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides...... On Real Madrid's side, captain Iker Casillas and four defenders are...... Atletico Madrid played in a 4-1-1-2-2 formation, with Gabi as the captain and ...... goalkeeper

"In terms of overall strength, Real Madrid are undoubtedly the more dominant, their players in every position are the stars of today's football, this is a real galaxy of stars. In terms of tournament experience, Real Madrid have a crushing advantage, reaching a total of 12 Champions League finals, nine of which have lifted the trophy. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, only reached the final 40 years ago, and they were beaten by Bayern Munich in a replay, losing the title, and the team has been in a slump ever since. ”

"Of course, Atletico also have their own advantages. Their hard-nosed style of pressing is unique in European football and, most importantly, they have dominated Real Madrid in the last two seasons. It can be said that Atletico Madrid now has a psychological advantage over Real Madrid......"

"Alright, let's focus on the game first, it's going to be a fierce showdown like Mars hitting Earth! Stay tuned! ”

While the commentators were talking, the game had already begun. It was Real Madrid who kicked off first, with C. Ronaldo passing the ball back to Mesut Ozil, who in turn transferred the ball to Alonso.

Some commentators just said that it would be a fierce collision like Mars hitting the Earth, and at the beginning of the game, fans understood what it was.

Alonso picked up the ball and looked up to see what was going on, and Costa was already rushing up with great momentum.

Atletico Madrid's football style is fierce, and the whole field rushes and scrambles at the expense of physical fitness, if in the past, although Atletico Madrid grabbed fiercely, they paid attention to their actions and generally did not foul at will.

But after all, it is a big competition with little experience, especially on a stage as important as the Champions League final, which will inevitably be nervous. Nervousness generally manifests itself in two ways, one is to hold back and the other is to be overexcited. Either way, it's inevitable that you'll get out of shape when you do it.

At this moment, Costa was a little too excited, in other words, the pace of entering the game was too fast, he rushed over quickly, originally just to scare Alonso, but when he got closer, he found that he couldn't hold back his movements, and the result was a hungry tiger pounced on the sheep, and he crashed into it extremely savagely.

Alonso didn't expect Costa to rush forward so fast and fiercely, he originally wanted to pull the ball and turn around to protect the ball, but in the next moment, Costa was like a wild bear, straight up to it, Alonso couldn't react, was knocked on all fours, clutched his chest on the ground and screamed in pain.

Costa got up from the ground like no one, probably because he felt that he had knocked people into a daze as soon as he started, and he rarely reached out and wanted to pull Alonso up.

Alonso didn't suffer much damage, but the ferocious blow made his chest feel a little stuffy, and he sat on the ground and gasped for breath, recovered for a while, and then took Costa's hand and stood up.

The two had been quite friendly before, but referee Rizzoli would not give Costa any face, and directly showed him a yellow card.

"Oooo Costa was shown a yellow card. It was the first yellow card of the final, with Atletico Madrid coming out on top! ”

"Haha, I already have a hunch that this game will be full of red and yellow cards!"

"In fact, if we look closely, it is not difficult to find that Costa's movements are a little out of shape, after all, it is a final, and it is normal for Atletico Madrid, who have not reached the Champions League final for 40 years, to lack experience. They have to find a way to overcome this. ”

The hiccup passed quickly, and Real Madrid fans in the stands continued to follow the game after boos to Costa.

Real Madrid does have a lot of experience in major tournaments, perhaps because they have suffered too many losses in the league in the past two seasons, so they have been actively studying Atletico's tactical play.

Alonso played the free-kick to Di Maria on the left, who stopped the ball and watched it before passing the ball back.

Atletico's frontcourt players quickly stepped forward to press, and Real Madrid players did not wait for them to get close, predicting to pass the football first.

This is the tactical method that Real Madrid came up with to defeat the enemy. Atletico Madrid's tackling ability can be described as the best in Europe, so Mourinho asked the players to transfer the football in advance before the opponent has even rushed to the position. Must not be entangled with the other party, everyone knows that Atletico Madrid's ability to force and close in a small area is very strong, if it is entangled, other players will soon come up to support, so as to achieve the goal of playing more and less, and then grab the ball.

That's Atletico's point-to-point approach. Create a local advantage, so that you can attack quickly on the spot, and then extend the advantage to the whole court.

Many teams are very uncomfortable when facing Atletico Madrid, because they grabbed too fiercely, did not give people time to react at all, and were cut off for some reason, and then inexplicably broke through the goal by the opponent's counterattack.

Mourinho has suffered a lot, so he has learned to be obedient, Real Madrid's overall style is fast, and now they must take advantage of this advantage, not to give Atletico Madrid the opportunity to press closely, they must observe and predict in advance before the opponent runs, and pass the ball quickly.

Only in this way will it be possible to curb Atletico's crazy rush.

Mourinho's tactical thinking is correct, Real Madrid players on the field of rapid and continuous advance passing, so that Atletico Madrid's pressing has a feeling of useless work, often Atletico players rush in one direction, the football is diverted, can only be helpless.

In the opening three minutes, except for Costa's foul, Atletico Madrid had no chance to get the ball, which is enough to prove that Real Madrid's change is very successful.

Of course, this change also has its drawbacks, because the disadvantage of fast delivery and early prediction is that it is easy to make mistakes. Barcelona cannot achieve a 100% success rate of passing and receiving the ball, and Real Madrid, which is fast up, naturally can't do it.

So although they made Atletico feel uncomfortable, their attack did not show their power. Because the pass was too fast, or the pass was too early or finished, the teammates couldn't keep up with the step, and after receiving the ball and readjusting, they missed the opportunity to attack. Atletico Madrid's defensive ability is also very strong, and almost in the blink of an eye, the hole will be quickly filled.

With one quick pass and one aggressive pressing, the situation was a bit stalemate from the start.
