In fact, Atletico Madrid's style of football is actually very suitable for counter-attacking defence, and against Real Madrid and Barcelona, they have used quick counter-attacks to make their opponents suffer enough on more than one occasion.

But today, at least for the last 25 minutes, Atletico Madrid's counter-attack has not been effective.

The reason is because Qin Shou, the offensive core of the team, has a problem here.

It's not that because of facing the old master, Qin Shou's emotions and mentality have problems, resulting in a bad state, but in the past 20 minutes, Qin Shou has very few opportunities to even get the ball, let alone organize an attack.

The importance of Qin Shou to Atletico Madrid is self-evident, some professionals have made statistics after a game, Qin Shou's number of passes is the highest in the whole team, and the success rate is also extremely high, which means that Atletico Madrid's offense will be overdone by Qin Shou in the whole situation, and then he will control the rhythm and mode of attack.

So the conclusion is that Qin Shou is the barometer of Atletico Madrid, Qin Shou's state is good, then the performance of the whole team will be very good, if Qin Shou's state is bad, then the whole team will also be in a slump.

In La Liga, many teams have responded to Atletico Madrid's serious "Qin Shou dependence", and their solution is simple, which is to send more people to keep an eye on Qin Shou.

But Qin Shou's ability to control the ball and break through is very strong, and it's okay to defend, if Qin Shou successfully breaks through, then there will be a huge gap in the backcourt. Another point is that Qin Shou attracts more defensive players, so the defensive strength in other places will inevitably be weak, and Qin Shou is often able to seize the opportunity to send the football to the weakest place.

This is also a point that many La Liga teams are very crazy about facing Atletico Madrid, there are fewer people and they can't prevent it, and there are more people, and there are more vacancies and loopholes. It's not human inside and out. It is precisely because of this that although most teams are trying their best to limit Qin Shou, there are few successful examples.

However, it is clear that Arsenal are very familiar with Qin Shou, and their arrangement for Qin Shou today, at least at this stage, is undoubtedly very successful.

Unlike other teams that simply mark Qin Shou, except for Diabi, who has been following Qin Shou closely, no other Arsenal player has paid too much attention to Qin Shou. The rest of the Arsenal players are pressing on other Atletico players such as Koke, Turan, Gabi and others. As soon as they get the ball, the Arsenal players rush up quickly and entangle it, not giving them an easy chance to get up and pass.

Atletico Madrid arranged a tactic of compressing the passing space for Arsenal, and Arsenal, in turn, in order to suppress Qin Shou's play, also made a tactic of compressing the space - the difference is that Arsenal wants to solve the problem from the source, since Qin Shou is difficult to prevent, then. We're going to limit the Atletico players who pass the ball to you, so you don't even get the ball a few times and the threat is naturally less.

Arsenal's somewhat speechless tactics did work very well. The Atletico players who were viciously forced by the reverse were extremely uncomfortable. There are often mistakes in the hasty passes under the pressing, and Qin Shou does not have many chances to get the ball. On occasional occasions, Diaby followed him closely and couldn't find a good attacking opportunity at all.

Since the defense is worry-free. Then all that's left is to attack.

Arsenal's offensive has never stopped, and they have constantly tested Atletico Madrid's defense with the simplest and most direct long passes. The two wide players, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, were extremely active. After winning the ball, he rushed forward quickly and then crossed directly with his feet.

Although the success rate of this simple style of play is not high, the more times it occurs, it always creates a lot of opportunities. Van Persie's ability to grab points is very strong, while Park Joo-young is good at running, and the two are moving back and forth in the Atletico penalty area, constantly putting pressure on the Atletico defenders.

"Oh oh, Oh, Walcoat got up again and the cross was cleared by Godin's header...... Wow, Park grabbed the second point and shot straight at goal...... Football slides through! ”

"Van Persie! Van Persie! Nice break! Shake off the angle and shoot - Courtois makes a brilliant downed save! ”

"With more than 60,000 fans cheering on at home, Arsenal's attack is fierce! Not again! Not again! Chamberlain's sudden incision...... The ball was hoisted into the box, Van Persie ...... Wow, Courtois reacted so quickly that he jumped first and took the football in his hands! ”

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was getting hotter and hotter, and the ferocious attack of the Arsenal players on the pitch stimulated them, making their cheers and cheers even louder.

Simeone walked back and forth on the sidelines, and the team was completely on the back foot at this point, and no one knew if Arsenal's continuous attack would score again in the next minute.

Simeone also saw the reason why the team's situation was unfavorable at the moment, if a team only defended and did not attack, the opponent's offensive could be unscrupulous. Obviously, Atletico Madrid is only defending and not fighting back.

"Defend! Defend! Gabi, run! You have to expand your activities! ”

"Damn it! Alda, are you a pig? Rush forward with the ball and suppress the opponent's attack with counterattacks! ”

"Onward! Move forward! ”

Simeone's anxious mood was evident in his face, and he yelled at the court again and again, if it weren't for the rules, maybe he would have wanted to rush into the field and kick twice.

On the other side, Professor Arsene Wenger was also standing on the sidelines, his face also frowning.

If you just look at the situation, there is no doubt that his team has the upper hand. But he was still dissatisfied, or rather, unhappy with his team's delay in extending the advantage.

He knows very well that the team's style of play cannot last, on the one hand, because this style of play consumes the team's physical energy, and it is impossible to stick to this style of play for 90 minutes. On the other hand, although Arsenal has been practicing this tactical play for nearly a week, after all, it is not long, and there are not too many shortcomings in a short period of time, but after a long time, Atletico Madrid will find a way to deal with it, and Arsenal will no longer be given such a chance to attack wantonly.

Therefore, Wenger hopes that his team will score as many goals as possible and "kill" the game as early as possible in the limited dominance.

It's just that they've only scored one goal so far.

Is the advantage of a ball big?

Not big, to be honest.

Although it seems that Atletico Madrid have no power to fight back now, it is just a goal difference, and it is uncertain when the opponent will score to equalize the score. If the opponent scores, they can also get an away goal, which is extremely advantageous in a two-legged knockout game.

"Attack! Go on the offensive! ”

"Take advantage of the opportunity and take advantage of the holes in the opponent's defense!"

"Watch out for the second point!"

Arsene Wenger also gave his own instructions again and again.

In the stands.

Jennifer and her parents sat in their seats, and the three of them stared intently at the court, watching Atletico Madrid be at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning to the present, and several people's hearts were a little heavy.

Anyway, Jennifer's boyfriend is also her own, her own team's score is behind, the situation is unfavorable, and Chris and Julia's mood is naturally not high.

"It's not a good situation at Atletico Madrid." Chris shook his head.

He is a long-time football fan, and he has a very clear understanding of the situation on the field, and the meaning of his words is obvious, if Atletico Madrid does not have a good way to deal with it, then the initiative will continue to be controlled by Arsenal, and under this fierce attack, Atletico Madrid is likely to concede goals again.

Jennifer shook her lips and didn't answer.

She is not a brainless fan who doesn't know anything about football, and she can naturally understand the situation on the field. Her boyfriend's team is in an unfavorable situation, and her mood is also tight.

All she could do was cheer for her boyfriend and Atletico Madrid.

"Come on! Come on! Qin, come on! Atletico Madrid, come on! ”

Chris nodded and didn't say anything more.

Julia, who was on the side, saw her daughter yelling regardless of her image, and she was not far behind, and she also stood up and shouted loudly for her "future son-in-law".

"Oooo Qin, come on! ”

There was a camera camera sweeping over the scene, and the image of two beautiful ladies yelling in the stands was printed on the large electronic screen of the scene.

A commentator saw this scene and said with a smile: "Oh oh, it seems that Atletico Madrid also has a lot of fans, these two beautiful ladies are shouting loudly for Atletico Madrid regardless of their image." ”

There were also other commentators who recognized Jennifer and laughed in amazement: "Ha, isn't this the beautiful girlfriend of Atletico Madrid player Qin?" Haha, I forgot, Qin's girlfriend is a Londoner, and she is said to be a heroic royal policeman! ”

"Qin hasn't played well so far. But if he saw his girlfriend cheering and cheering for him with all his might in the stands, I wonder if the small universe would explode? ”

"Go for it, Qin! Your little girlfriend is looking at you, please come on! ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Qin Shou naturally couldn't hear everything that happened in the stands and the ridicule of the commentators, and at this moment, he was also thinking hard about how to deal with it on the field.

So far, he's been playing hard. If he can't change and help the team, then maybe the situation will continue to deteriorate.
