Lin Yu's shot, although it shocked the Atletico Madrid players a little, but they quickly calmed down, because they didn't know how many times they had been told by Simeone before the game, they knew that Real Madrid would definitely launch a fierce attack in this game, and they also knew that Lin Yu would play something that surprised them, such as this shot.

But they can't back down, because to retreat means defeat, and they have to carry it until the moment of victory.

They once beat Real Madrid, although that was before Lin Yu joined, but their fear of Real Madrid is far less deep than that of other teams, they need to win, they need the championship.

Lin Yu's shot was held by Courtois, it was a very threatening shot, not only a hanging shot, but also a rebound when he was close to the goal, fortunately Courtois reacted quickly enough, otherwise this would not only be an offensive horn, it would have become the death knell of Atletico Madrid!

Courtois kicked the ball out, his intention was very good, it was to let Atletico Madrid enter the offensive state as soon as possible, after all, inverted feet and ball control are not Atletico Madrid's strong points, but he forgot that Lin Yu was still in the midfield at this time, so the ball was naturally snatched by Lin Yu again, and the second wave of attack also sounded the alarm.

Lin Yu knocked the ball to Royce, and then with Bale, Cristiano on the wing. Ronaldo ran to the front court together, this is the normal state of Real Madrid's attack, before it was called shooting, it was just a knock on the mountain and the tiger, if the tiger was directly knocked to death, it was an accidental gain, if it was not knocked, then the following attack would also be carried out smoothly.

For Real Madrid's attacking posture. Atletico Madrid's players are also mentally prepared that they are not prepared to retract at the beginning. Instead, they started pressing in midfield, which was something Simeone told them to do.

In fact, Zidane said that Atletico Madrid could not be given any chance. Because they are a pack of wolves.

But isn't Real Madrid a bloodthirsty beast? Therefore, Simeone did not dare to let Real Madrid's attack be fully played, because it would be extremely detrimental to Atletico Madrid's defense.

While there's nothing wrong with their ability to defend, the problem is that once you've got the bloodthirsty beasts to get their attacking touch, it's only a matter of time before you're breached, no matter how good you defend, and it's been proven that none of the teams facing Real Madrid can win, including Chelsea.

Swinging the bus will certainly make the goals conceded less. But from the very beginning, especially against a team like Real Madrid, you put the bus, it means that the attack is completely handed over to the opponent, and you can only be passively beaten, if you want to find the advantage again, control the tempo, then the only possibility is to wait for the opponent to make a mistake, but the problem. Other teams may make mistakes, but will Real Madrid?

Simeone has only one trick for Atletico Madrid, and that is "ruthless".

Start grabbing from the front and don't be afraid of a yellow card. Because it's not a big deal, as long as you don't get a red card.

In the past, some media commented that Simeone's coach is like black. Society. Boss, this is not unreasonable. There is also a bit of ruffianism in this person's arrogance, as a coach. He's going to be even crazier than Jose Mourinho, of course. If there is no Lin Yu and no Real Madrid, he may be more successful, but it is a pity that he has been pressed by Lin Yu for several years.

From the beginning, he grabbed the advantage with Real Madrid, and did not let Real Madrid have a chance to score the first goal, or say that he scored a goal first, this idea has always echoed in Simeone's mind.

In fact, in the second leg of the league, the Bernabeu played very well, they scored first, although they still lost in the end, but that was mainly because Lin Yu's personal ability was too perverted, not that he made a mistake in decision-making, plus it was away again, the players will definitely have pressure.

But today is different, although Lin Yu is still Lin Yu, but this is Calderón Stadium, is their home stadium, from this point of view, they actually have a very big advantage, so how to turn the advantage into a goal is what Atletico Madrid's players should do.

"Surprise the opponent and let them know that there are teams in this football that are not afraid of them." This is what Simeone said to the Atletico Madrid players before he came on the pitch.

Obviously, the Atletico Madrid players have remembered this and they have put it into practice, but it will depend on how Real Madrid perform.

……

Atletico Madrid's scramble was fierce, and Modric met Diego at the back. Costa and Isco's double interception almost lost the ball, but fortunately he was mentally prepared and had excellent skills, so the ball was not lost, and because he was forced to be helpless, he passed a good ball.

The ball reached the feet of Reus, and the moment was tantamount to passing Diego. Costa and Isco are two people.

After Reus got the ball, he was also forced to steal, surrounded by Turan and Koke, and Isco was also retreating at this time, building a net, if Reuss was a little slower to divide the ball, then the ball would probably be directly lost.

But it doesn't matter, Reus has long since adapted to this style of play, having faced similar scrambling and pressing against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona and Chelsea earlier.

This interception method is nothing new, and many teams in football use it these days, and if you don't get used to it, then you will definitely be the one who is unlucky.

So Reuss chose a very good timing of the pass, and handed the ball to Lin Yu from the gap between the two defenders at the moment when Turan and Koke were about to grab it, and Lin Yu did not stop the ball, directly padd the ball and cleverly passed it to the inserted Bale, who did not stop the ball and shot directly with his right foot, trying to break the goal.

However, Courtois reacted quickly and saved the ball despite the extremely uncomfortable movements.

This time the attack ended in failure, but it can be seen from this matchup. The players on both sides have started to get into the groove, this high-intensity confrontation. As well as the battle of wits and courage of passing and shooting, it will be encountered again and again in the following games.

……

Courtois kicked off again with a big kick. This is what Simeone confessed, he doesn't like to throw the ball by hand, although the hand throw is more accurate, but it is also easy to make mistakes, because the power is too small, the distance is too close, if the opponent presses too hard, it is likely to be used by the opponent, and the big foot is different. Even if it is picked up by the opponent, it will not be able to immediately convert into a threatening shot, which can give the defender more opportunity to prepare.

Luckily, this time the ball was taken by Diego. Costa got it, although he is not good at making this bridgehead, but this time he also fought hard, probably inspired by Lin Yu's words when he shook hands before the game.

is not as good as Lin Yu, if you don't fight, then it will really be even more hopeless. Diego. Costa knew exactly what he was doing, and what role he was playing.

Diego. Costa's dribbling skills are not excellent, they can only be described as mediocre, but he can occasionally make moves that have passed three or four people in a row. For example, this time, he went straight past the defense of Modric and Pogba.

Of course, after passing these two. It will be more difficult for him to continue to break through, and Varane is maturing day by day. Now he has become a mainstay on the defensive line, and his defense is solid. And it's also very smart, as long as it's glued by him, then it's not easy to do next.

Diego. Costa's dribbling skills were not so good in the first place, and now he has met Raphael Varane, which can only be said to be in trouble, he can only be said to be an accident, but it is a little difficult to get past two more centre-backs.

So Diego. Costa finally chose to pass the ball, because if he didn't pass the ball, he would be surrounded by Real Madrid, at this time Modric and Pogba have returned, and the three of them are sandwiched, which will definitely make Diego. Costa eats a pot.

Because both sides chose the same defensive approach, Diego. Costa also understands how terrible this defensive approach can be.

The ball finally arrived at the feet of Isco, it is better to be forced back, which is also a helpless thing, although Atletico Madrid is not good at controlling the ball, but it can be done to control the rhythm occasionally, after all, with Isco, Mata, Koke, Turan and other players, plus Griezmann, who has now become the main force of the French team, has good skills, and it is not a big problem to control the rhythm a little.

But they don't know that this is actually the purpose of Real Madrid, the purpose of Zidane.

The most terrifying thing about Atletico Madrid is that momentum, once they rush, even they are afraid, so they must not let this team rush and control their rhythm in slow motion, then their threat will be greatly reduced.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid is not good at possession, which gives Real Madrid more chances to succeed in pressing, and once Real Madrid grabs the ball and plays a counter-attack, Atletico Madrid can hang.

In fact, the goals of the two teams are similar, and the tactical routines are also similar, but because of one point, the effect of the two sides in executing tactics is very different.

That's right, it's Lin Yu!

After Lin Yu took the ball, let alone two people defending, he dared to defend with three people, so Real Madrid's offense was never afraid of not being able to play, and they didn't need to rely on the return to find opportunities, so as to waste valuable impact.

But Diego. Costa is still too tender compared to Lin Yu, he can't help it, he will have a hard time facing Varane alone, if David. Luiz came to help again, and he was almost impossible to break through, and if he forced his feet to shoot, it would be difficult to pose a threat to Mignolet.

After all, he is not Lin Yu, Lin Yu's long-range shot would be feared by any goalkeeper, but he can't.

This one-point gap makes the tactical execution of the two sides appear completely different, Real Madrid's attack can be from beginning to end, even if it doesn't score, but the threat is always there, but Atletico Madrid's attack often stops abruptly in the front.

Simeone on the sidelines also noticed this, he touched his chin, his face was a little anxious, but at this moment, he couldn't think of any good way to solve this problem, he couldn't ask God to send him a Lin Yu, the only expectation, I'm afraid it's Diego. Costa can play at a high level, otherwise there really won't be a way to win this game. (To be continued......)
