"Atletico Madrid had just beaten Valencia 1-0 in the league and now lead the La Liga table. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info They only need to win two of their remaining three La Liga games to win the La Liga title. So we can't expect them to be distracted by La Liga and the next leg will be a tough game for us. In the conference room, Blanco opened with these words.

"Before the last leg, I said that Atletico Madrid can be the leader in La Liga and can eliminate Barcelona in the Champions Cup, not because of how strong their players are, but because their tactics are very trendy. Their offense and defense have a relatively complete and clear tactical play, a pressing defensive structure, sharp and crisp counterattacks, and impressive positional battles, which all constitute their basic tactical routines. But in the last game, some of you were underwhelmed, which led to us being passive almost the whole game. ”

Blanco refused to admit that his tactical arrangement was wrong, and some of the players below were unhappy.

Blanco ignored their petty emotions and began to play the game: "Let's relive the last game together and see what Atletico Madrid did and what we did. ”

After everyone watched the game quietly, Blanco began to explain: "Atletico Madrid's possession this season has never been a clear advantage, in the last game, you can see that except for the second half of the game when they need to attack aggressively, the possession rate is similar to ours. ”

"Their counter-attacks are sharp, they are very blood-consuming, they can play defensive counter-attacks, and they can also attack the city in position. Of course, their defensive performance does not mean that they will simply shrink into the box and simply shorten their formation and formation. Their constant pressure on the opposition in the high post is a key to their defensive stability, and if they can put enough pressure on the opponent in the high post, the pressure at the back will be much less. ”

"Look at this place," Blanco said he had already asked the staff to edit the footage of the game, and then he played a small clip, "this ball, they started a one-on-one press near the halfway line, and we only have three people in this area, and no one can catch the ball point, Hao can only be forced to pass back." ”

"Here, I'm sorry that you're using the opposite example of not putting enough pressure on their centre-backs in the high post to allow Miranda and Godin to be comfortable with the ball. You see, they almost easily advanced the ball into the 10-meter range, and we didn't even go up to force it, Hao, you don't have any desire to interfere here. ”

Shi Hao stuck out his tongue embarrassedly. He is really lazy defensively, an aspect that has been criticized by the media for several seasons. However, because his offensive firepower is too strong, everyone doesn't care too much.

"Look at this ball, at this time, Felipe has basically advanced to our 30-meter area, Hao went to keep an eye on Godin to prevent Felipe from passing back, Bryce should have stepped forward to block Felipe, but Bryce, you still seem indifferent here."

Matuidi bowed his head.

'Look here, they're pressing us all over the pitch with the midfielders and cutting off our short passes. The most common way for Atletico Madrid is to play a striker against a defender in the high post, trying to let the opponent's winger or full-back take the ball on the side, and then the full-back comes forward to grab the ball, and the striker cooperates with the full-back to cut off the route of his return pass to the defender and take possession. This video clearly shows their thinking. ”

Everyone watched it attentively, and Shi Hao also felt that he had gained a lot based on his experience in playing the front waist organization in these two games.

"Atletico Madrid really like to move the ball to the wings so that they can have enough numbers on the flanks and use the numbers to create a big trap area of their own. This is clearly demonstrated by watching this video, which is a trap area that we cannot use, which is equivalent to limiting our options on the wing again. ”

"The ability to link up between the central and midfield is a big measure for Atletico Madrid's defenders to make up for their lack of individual ability, and even if there is a gap, they are still able to make up for it by filling in vertically and horizontally, look here," Blanco pointed to an area on the video and circled it with a highlighter. But Godin and Miranda were too quick to fill in and break the ball when the rest of us came to pick it up. ”

"Look at their set-piece again. After the set-piece was over, they had a number of players quickly return to their half-pitch positions to prevent us from making quick counter-attacks. This is a reflection of the discipline of Atletico Madrid, they have been quite disciplined this season, even better than Barcelona, the discipline of a team is very important, they can reach the current height, and their discipline is inseparable. ”

The PSG players nodded their heads in response. They felt this very well in the game, and it looked like a good counter-attacking opportunity, but the Atletico Madrid players were able to execute defensive tactics efficiently and wipe out Paris' counter-attacking opportunities.

"Look at their offense. Atletico Madrid are very flexible with their use of the wings, and it could even be argued that most of their attacks are launched from the wings. Their attacking ideas on the wings are very diverse, with full-backs being an important point of support. Felipe and Juanfran may not be very famous, but you can also feel in the game that their attacking ability is as strong as any big team in Europe. ”

"When they're playing positional battles up front, you pay attention to this video, and you see, the central midfielders first form a triangle of attack with the full-backs and the wingers and the full-backs, and then the full-backs give up space for the full-backs, so that the full-backs can achieve the conditions for a stacked assist, and then the full-backs or the central midfielders play to the gaps on the side through short or long passes, and the full-backs form assists. Looking at this video again, this is the attacking routine of the last stoppage time goal, isn't it? ”

"It's important to note here that Atletico Madrid's full-backs are very good at assisting, but they can't maintain a two-assist full-back model, where when one full-back comes forward to assist, the other full-back needs to drop back to defend in midfield. Look at this video, Juanfran goes up, you pay attention to Felipe's position," Blanco circled, "and then look at this paragraph, when the attack is unsuccessful, a full-back needs to play as a third central defender. See, Juanfran defends and Koke is responsible for dropping back to the wings, making up for the gaps in the full-backs and building up three and a half central defenders. ”

Paris Saint-Germain's attacking players suddenly realized that it was no wonder that they always felt that there were many opponents when counterattacking.
