Taking two deep breaths, Gao Shunyao forced himself to calm down in the bottom of his heart. The more Atletico want to make the Wolfsburg players lose their peace, the more they must not be impatient and take the game more seriously.

Atletico Madrid is a team that has always been like this in terms of style of play. And if you fall into the same situation as them, your mind is full of small actions and tricks. Then you won't have much energy to deal with the game. And if that's the case, presumably the whole Atletico Madrid team will be very happy: a team that is not on the game will not be able to defeat a strong opponent no matter what, especially such a strong opponent as Atletico Madrid, it is definitely not something that Wolfsburg can deal with half-heartedly.

Those foul tactics are just small means, and Atletico Madrid can have the current results, in addition to these, and their technical level is also very inseparable. After the opening, on the one hand, they provoked the Wolfsburg players with fouls and tested the referee's penalty scale, while the players of Atletico Madrid were also quietly planning an attack.

And not long after Gao Shunyao was fouled, Atletico Madrid's players also took advantage of the wrong mentality of the Wolfsburg players and also found opportunities on the field. During an attack by Wolfsburg players, in midfield, Shahin's through ball to Gao Shunyao was intercepted by Thiago, and Atletico's counterattack began.

And once Atletico's counterattack began, the speed was incredibly fast. Thiago, who got the football, gave the ball to Gabi in front of him. After getting the ball in the midfield, because the formation contracted very much, Diego Costa was less than five meters away from Gabi, but at this time, Gabi did not choose to give the ball to Costa next to him, but shifted the ball and kicked the football to Coke on the side.

His pass was very beautiful: because Atletico Madrid's own formation was also more contracted, so although they got the ball at the back and were ready to attack, but Costa at this time. In fact, it is only in the midfield position. The Wolfsburg players were able to withdraw in a timely manner, with three defenders remaining in front of Costa. If Costa gets the ball, he might be able to try to break through. But the chances of three people breaking through the box are too slim. In contrast, giving football to Cork and things are completely different.

On the flanks, Koke is also doing quick insertion, and unlike in the middle, Costa may encounter strong defense. By his side, only one person can stick to him in time. Compared to the strong in the middle, giving the ball to him and letting him face a one-man defense alone is always better than letting Costa be tough, and Gabi's pass is very correct.

And, on the pitch, he's not just the timing of his passes. He didn't drop back either, after the pass. Instead, they continued to run and participate in the attack. After the football was passed to the feet of Coke, Coke on the wing took the ball and immediately stopped running, and in the middle, Gabi chose a different angle from Diego Costa and ran quickly towards the left front. After Koke stopped advancing, Rong was confined to his position, and Gabi's run also allowed Gustavo to return to the defense. The attention of the drawn Naldo was on him, creating opportunities for his team-mates.

Behind him, in the middle, Diego Costa had already stepped in quickly. And further afield. Villa also quickly moved closer to the middle. Atletico Madrid's counterattack, for a while, three people were inserted in the middle, and on the Wolfsburg side, even if Rodriguez had quickly returned to the defense, the manpower still seemed to be a little stretched.

A good offensive coordination can make your team have a numerical advantage in local areas. Atletico Madrid are obviously very familiar with this kind of cooperation. Their combination made the Wolfsburg defence immediately threatened. Diego Costa, Gabi, and Villa stepped in together, and Koke also kicked the ball towards Costa again with an accurate pass.

This pass is also very cleverly chosen.

Rong stared at Cork at this time, and Gustavo and Naldo, who were retreating, also didn't want to give him a chance because of Gabi's running back, so they subconsciously approached him. Because of his thirst, he was already marked by Kjaer, and of the three people he plugged in, he was the slowest runner, so he was the weaker defensive force around him at this time. Compared to Villa, who was also marked by only one Rodriguez, his position was closer to Koke, and the pass was not intercepted, so Koke's pass also went in his direction and kicked it directly.

Reading the Wolfsburg defense, grasping the timing of his teammates, coupled with the fact that he did not take risks and chose to be extremely safe on the ground, Koke's passing also showed his awareness very well. In the same way, his passing skills prove that he is not only a player with awareness, but also a great player.

Wolfsburg's players are quickly returning to the defense at this time, and there are also two Wolfsburg defenders between Cork and Costa. However, Koke's pass was unmistakably through the gap between the two men and into the feet of Costa, giving the Wolfsburg players no chance.

The passing skills of the La Liga team are indeed very good, and such a pass is also the basis for Atletico Madrid's counterattack to always be played. Koke's pass was definitely not an exception, and Costa, who received the ball, immediately proved it.

Standing in front of the penalty area, Costa ran in the direction of the football. He retreated deeply, and Kjaer was left behind by him and did not follow closely. But on its front, Gustavo was also approaching him at this time, and his situation was not easy. However, it was in this situation that Costa made the best pass.

When he got the ball, he didn't pause at his feet, not even stopping the ball, he directly knocked the ball with his backheel and kicked the ball out of the space behind him.

Behind him, there was already an opening: after passing the ball to Diego Costa, Cork made a quick move up the flanks against the touchline. His running attracted the attention of Naldo and Rong, and also made them relax their guard against Gabi. However, at this very moment, in the face of the vacancy of qualifying, Gabi had already run up quickly, he found the gap and chased after the football

In Wolfsburg's view, Gabi's forward insertion was originally a trick, and since Costa got the ball, the meaning of his forward insertion was over, but no one expected that Gabi was the ultimate executor of this tactic.

With his back to goal, Costa made a beautiful back-heel knock on the pass, which was done succinctly and clearly. In the face of defense, he did not choose to come hard, but handed the ball to Gabi who was inserted next to him, and Gabi took the ball and inserted it against the edge of the penalty area, which also made Wolfsburg's defense face a crisis at once. In the middle, although it is difficult for Costa to keep up in time, Atletico still has Villa to insert, and the Wolfsburg defense is too late to defend at this time.

Atletico's quick counter-attack was not for nothing. They were in front of Wolfsburg's defensive line, using beautiful passes and cuts, so that Wolfsburg encountered a crisis. Gabi took the ball and rushed up the flank, but behind him, Kjaer was too late to catch up with him. On the right side, Villa had quickly intervened at this time, and he and Gabi formed a situation of double ghosts slamming the door.

This time it's time to attack. However, at this critical juncture, Rodriguez, who had been following Villa, did not give up. As Villa burst into the box, he also accelerated sharply, and suddenly he went around behind Villa and went around to Villa's left. None of his teammates could keep up at this point, but Rodriguez didn't give up. At this time, he managed to go around in a circle, blocking between Gabi and Villa

At the crucial moment, Rodriguez made the right judgment: although Villa is now technically excellent, his physical level is not as good as before. In this confrontation, he was completely underwhelmed, and under the interference of Rodriguez, he lost the opportunity to receive the ball.

Wolfsburg's defense finally worked, and Villa was in this link, and there was no connection

And he is not the only one who has not given up. In front of the goal, Benaglio also rushed out in time and rushed towards Gabi. His attack blocked Gabby's immediate best angle, and behind Gabby, Kjaer was also chasing closer, without giving him more time to think about it.

Can't pass the ball, and the goalkeeper doesn't give him the angle to shoot, Gabi is also a little helpless about this. Although he has good skills, he is not a striker after all, and at this time, whether it is past the goalkeeper or finding an angle to shoot, it is not what he is good at. In desperation, he could only take a step forward with the ball, find a gap with his feet, and shoot the ball out with one kick

There was hardly anything wrong with his choice, but this shot was too far from the angle. The football was kicked out by him, hitting the side-netting and bouncing high, and this time the attack, Atletico failed to score after all.

However, even if the attack did not result in a goal, Atletico fans still gave their players a round of applause around the stadium. This offense except for not forming a goal, everything can be said to have reached the best level, and the cooperation of several people in the front court easily and happily tore apart the defense of Wolfsburg, such an attack is still worthy of recognition.

And the players of Wolfsburg also have some solemnity on their faces, compared to the foul at the beginning, this attack can move them even more. After all, the players of Wolfsburg know what kind of enemy is the most threatening, and if you only have a rough style of play, then the opponent is just a group of bandits, but with such a rough style of play and such a fine technique, that is the real terrible enemy.

A team that does whatever it takes, is great and very good, is really scary.

Atletico Madrid's counterattack is really sharp, and this opponent is indeed worthy of its name. In the face of such an opponent, they were also a little apprehensive about whether the plan made by Wolfsburg before the game would work. To be continued.
