Sevilla coach Alvarez doesn't think he's unqualified, his view is diametrically opposed to Wan Sheng, but Atletico Madrid is not qualified to be Sevilla's opponent.

Not much to talk about past results, Alvarez does not think that his coaching ability is worse than the young Chinese opposite, at the same time, Sevilla's strength will not be worse than Atletico Madrid, and more importantly, Alvarez believes that he has seen through Atletico Madrid's tactics.

Atletico Madrid scored a goal with a surprising tactic of big pressure, but it was just a goal, La Liga is different from the Premier League, even if it is as strong as Barcelona, Real Madrid and other teams, it is normal to concede goals, and if you can't play, you won't be surprised if you are beaten 2:0 and 3:0 by the small ball.

This is Spanish football.

In Spanish football, many clubs are good at attacking, and the attacking technique is very good, so the number of goals scored in La Liga is much higher than in the Premier League, and conceding a goal is nothing.

It's 1 to 0 only.

I have found the weakness of Atletico Madrid, as long as I attack the weakness of the opponent, it is not easy to score goals?

Alvarez got up from his seat and walked to the sideline, where he called Canute, who was running over, and told him loudly what to do next.

Actually, it's not a big deal.

Alvarez found that when Atletico Madrid attacked, the third line pressed very forward, which meant that there was a bit of 'big press', so the opponent's defense was very empty, as long as the ball was converted and the ball was passed to the front with a big foot, the opponent's half had a large amount of space, allowing the strikers to play freely.

That's Sevilla's chance.

So Alvarez told Canoute's style of play is to let the team get the ball, and use long passes, anti-offside and quick counter-attacks to break through the Atletico Madrid defense.

Kanute nodded and quickly passed the message on to his teammates, and it didn't take long for the Sevilla players to know what to do next.

Sevilla players are not fast in the implementation of Alvarez's simple adjustments, after all, word of mouth takes time, and the adjustment in the middle of the game always takes time to adapt, and in the next period of time, Sevilla is a little adapted to Atletico Madrid's offensive, and the situation has become slightly better, but in the overall game situation, Sevilla is still passive, which can be seen from the possession rate of the two teams.

In the absence of a dead ball, Fernandez, a Spanish sports webcaster, read some stats, "...... From the start of the game, the home team Sevilla FC only had 46 per cent of the possession, while the away team Atletico Madrid had 54 per cent, and Atletico Madrid had a slight advantage in terms of statistics. ”

The 54% advantage is not big, but you must know that Sevilla have a clear advantage in the opening period of the game, that is, in the past nearly 20 minutes, Atletico Madrid has regained the gap, and the possession is still much more than Sevilla.

In the comments of the news media, the game on the field continued.

It's been about 40 minutes.

At this point, Sevilla's players have made good adjustments to manager Alvarez's style of play, and their first choice after a tackle or other opportunity to get the ball to the front court is to pass the ball to the front.

In less than three minutes, Sevilla had two such long balls.

Alvarez in the Sevilla coach's box looked at the team's long pass, and was looking forward to it, but unfortunately the result was not satisfied, once the football was directly stopped by the Atletico Madrid players, and another time, the striker Negredo received a pass, but by the time he was about to start moving forward, several Atletico Madrid players had already retreated.

"The drawdown is quite fast!"

Alvarez shook his head and said, but he didn't care, it is impossible to score a goal in one or two games, it still depends on timing and luck, just like the one just now, as long as Atletico Madrid retreats a little slower, Negredo will have a good chance.

Still is...... Bad luck!

Sevilla did not seem to have had much luck with the rest of the day, or rather their players did not play very well, and until the end of the first half, Sevilla did not manage to make a single tackle, and the half was occupied by Atletico Madrid.

In the final stages of stoppage time, Diego Frei also had a good chance in the penalty area, but unfortunately, Frei was a little slow to get up and the ball was kicked off the touchline by Sevilla centre-back Alexis.

Immediately after that, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

――――

The home team locker room at the Pizjuán Stadium.

Taking advantage of the half-time break, Alvarez explained the second half to the players in detail, and he emphasized three points - long passes, anti-offside and quick counterattacks!

After watching the first half of the game, Alvarez believed that Atletico Madrid had no tactics at all, they just let go of the attack, let the third line press up and suppress the team, and the team conceded goals like this.

The reason for the passivity in the first half was that the team didn't expect Atletico Madrid's attack to be so fierce and so desperate!

It's really damning!

The opponent didn't even care about defense, so he pressed up and attacked, and the team failed to adapt to it, and as a result, it was succeeded by the opponent's 'sneak attack'.

Now that you know the opponent's style of play, the team's chances in the second half are great.

Coach Alvarez's analysis of the game gave the Sevilla players a sense of relief, the past first half was not a good memory, they were suppressed by Atletico Madrid, and they were scored a goal, and after 20 minutes until the end of the first half, they played very aggrieved.

After listening to Alvarez's analysis, they immediately found ...... I see!

The other party is desperate to attack!

No one would have thought that Atletico Madrid would fight so hard in the first half, so they would be suppressed, they would be passive, it was too simple to face such an attack, they just had to play more long balls and play more counter-attacks.

The Sevilla players were suddenly full of confidence again.

――――

In the other dressing room, Atletico Madrid had a good atmosphere because they were the leading side.

Wan Sheng praised the performance of the players.

Looking back at the first half, a number of players were in good hands, as they kept a strong side of Sevilla away from home.

Yes, powerful!

For many Atletico Madrid players, Sevilla is undoubtedly very strong, and it can be said that in La Liga, in addition to the two teams in the 'Spanish Super League', Valencia and Sevilla are the strongest teams.

Maybe they are difficult to compare with the real giants in Europe, but they are better than Atletico Madrid.

It's another game at Estadio Pizjuan.

As a result, many Atletico Madrid players are not very confident, and they think that it will be very difficult to beat Sevilla away from home, and a draw in this game would be a pretty good result.

But the race is different from the imagination.

They didn't play anything extraordinary, they just used what they had prepared for the summer, and then Sevilla were completely suppressed, especially in the final stages of the first half, when they played more and more and felt more and more, and almost broke the Sevilla door again.

When I got back to the dressing room, there were still a lot of players talking.

However, after praising the team's performance, Wan Sheng still reminded them to strictly implement the tactics, "Our attack is good, but our weaknesses are also obvious, and the opponent will definitely play in this aspect." So I ask each of you to strictly follow the team's tactics and do your job on the pitch. ”

"If I see someone who only knows how to rush forward and doesn't know how to run back, then I will replace you as soon as possible!"

Wan Sheng's attitude of speaking was very serious, and it also made the players listen to their hearts.

After the summer preparation, plus a first half, the players in the team generally have a higher 'reverence for Wan Sheng', because they know that the young Chinese coach is very capable.

Taking advantage of a summer of preparation to lead them to a win over Sevilla away from home is something that not every coach can do.

This is quite a remarkable achievement.

Thinking about Wansheng's record at Manchester City, many players are full of confidence in the game.

――――

Both teams went into the second half with confidence, and as a result, the game entered a tight phase at the start of the second half.

Both sides played well.

When Atletico Madrid attacked, they were still pressed in the third line, and the momentum of the big pressure made Sevilla have to shrink the defence, otherwise they would feel that the goal would become dangerous.

Sevilla's attack was not bad, their pace and coordination were good, but they didn't push forward well against Atletico Madrid's solid defence.

However, the Sevilla players don't care.

They believe that the opportunity is on the counter-attack, and as long as Atletico Madrid does not have time to retreat, they can use long balls and quick counter-attacks to find good opportunities.

However, after a few waves of transitions between the two sides, the Sevilla players found it difficult to find such opportunities.

One is on the steal.

Atletico Madrid were skilful and it wasn't easy for them to intercept in their own half, and many times the consequence of their recklessness was a crisis in their own goal, and after a few times, the Sevilla players became much more cautious in defending.

The second is on the counteroffensive.

They made two complete tackles at the back and then tried to make a quick counter-attack, but they couldn't get a chance on both occasions, the most important of which was ...... Atletico Madrid's retracement is simply too fast!

Or even ...... Unbelievably fast!

Generally, after a sudden steal, the team will also retreat quickly, but no matter how fast, there must still be some players who are slower, because their position is too forward, even if they run back, they can't defend effectively, which is a waste of energy most of the time.

Atletico Madrid is different.

It can be said that at the moment when Sevilla FC completes the tackle, only the nearby players will counter-attack on the spot, and the other players, including the strikers, will quickly run back.

It was pretty fast, and it was a whole run back.

Seeing the team's counterattack, which ended at the edge of the penalty area without even hitting a shot, Sevilla coach Alvarez couldn't help frowning.

He felt a little wrong!

The game now is completely different from what he imagined.

Atletico Madrid's defense did not have any problems, but the team's frontal advance and quick counterattack failed to achieve any effect, the most important thing is that the opponent's overall retreat speed is too fast.

But......

"Aren't they afraid of draining their physical strength early?" (To be continued.) )
