Chapter 19: Mad Dogs
No, the idiom of Ji Tailai, Lin Sen has always regarded it as a nonsense. What is bad luck to the extreme, good luck, if people are unlucky enough to be unlucky, of course, everything will be regarded as a good thing, this is a philosophy. It's just that less than a minute into the game, Lin Sen almost thought that he really didn't come to Jitai.
Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable footing, Atletico Madrid played perhaps the most crisp attack so far this season, Raul Garcia made a long pass to Maxi Gonzalez in the backfield, the Argentine burst on the right and then suddenly pulled to the middle, after attracting the attention of the opponent's two central defenders, the ball was sent to the feet of Luis Garcia, and the Spanish veteran who played in the front of the midfield in this game directly curled the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. Spanish goalkeeper Diego Lopez, who forced Real Madrid captain Casillas to almost run away from home in the future, had not even covered his gloves with his hands on the Nth crisis since the goal, when a big peng of wolf bèi spread his wings, and then saw the ball hit the crossbar and fly out at the junction of the crossbar and the goalpost.
As a result, neither side of the hair was caught.
Diego López didn't get the ball, and Atletico didn't get a corner either.
There was a song of happiness over the love song stadium, and Pellegrini's old face on the sidelines turned green: these bunnies, who have said it countless times to concentrate on the opening game, are still this virtue, and Villarreal has conceded almost double digits in the opening five minutes this season. Lin Sen's face not far away was also green, fuck it or not.
In football, there are three periods of time when the goal is most likely to be conceded, and one of them is to make a surprise attack at the beginning of the game when the opponent is not firmly established. Atletico Madrid opened this game, did not score and fell second, the problem is that this stick did not knock the opponent to death, but woke the opponent awake, and then, both sides are bound to die, and what is more troublesome is that the opponent's strength is still greater than yours.
Lin Sen kept clapping his hands on the sidelines, allowing the Atletico players to return to defense, and at the same time, he also reminded them not to indulge in the love just now. This is the first time Lin Sen has made such a move on the sidelines. Of course, this is not because the shape on the field in the first two games does not need him to do this, but in the first two games, it is useless for him to do it. This kind of behavior is called chic when some people hear it, and if no one listens to it, it is called Dasha.
According to Linsen's idea, in the first half of the game, Atletico Madrid's tone will be defensive, although Villarreal has the vice of conceding goals in the opening game, but they also have the advantage of-for-tat, this season's goals, nearly seventy percent of them came from the first half, as long as Atletico Madrid can withstand the opponent's attack in the first half, this game, Atletico Madrid will have a greater chance. Although, this seems unlikely......
Pellegrini's team is very delicate in attack, and simple and crude tactics such as long passes and rushing are rarely seen in his team, with short passes, local penetration, and a combination of side and center...... To put it bluntly, it is the legendary beautiful football, and there are two most effective ways to deal with such a team, one is to put a bus in front of the goal; Second, it is the mad dog tactic, no matter which one it is, it requires the team to have a high degree of tactical execution ability, and unfortunately, Lin Sen lacks this the most.
If you can't do it, you can only resist.
Antonio López originally imagined that he would entangle the opponent's Pires like pestering Odonkor in the last game, but he soon found that his wishful thinking could not be played at all, not that Pires was faster than Odonkor, but that the other party would not accept the move at all, as soon as Pires got the ball, as long as Antonio came up to press, he either passed the ball directly, or directly changed direction and pulled to the middle, and by his side, there will definitely be at least two teammates to provide him with a passing route, several times down, The entangled Pires was calm, and Antonio, who felt that he couldn't punch hard, was a little impetuous.
"Damn the old fox."
Lin Sen scolded in his heart, after all, the grade is still different, Odon Cole is in front of Pires, maybe only the speed is enough. Before Lin Sen finished muttering, his brows locked when he saw that Cazorla, who was supposed to be on the other side of the world, actually appeared in the middle to form a connection with Pires. His gaze quickly moved back, and sure enough, Senna had already plugged in from the back at high speed at this time......
2+2 becomes 1+3!
Pires passed the ball back to Senna, who was inserted at high speed, and then quickly crossed with Cazorla, and ran in both directions to the deep area that was torn apart by the movement of the two of them, and the original three's inverted V-shaped position instantly became a V-shape, and what is even worse is that Atletico Madrid's two fullbacks were completely torn apart at this time, and the two central defenders began to hesitate which side to stick, because now, Senna, who is keeping up, can choose the direction of the pass as he likes.
The answer is left. Or Pires.
The unguarded Pires plus the Pires who entered the penalty area equals the Pires who scored the goal.
It was the French veteran's third goal of the season.
In the small bar in Madrid, there was an instant of shouting, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of some wine glasses breaking, followed by the roar of the owner, Frank. The frequency of Barr's sipping of melon seeds instantly became much faster, and he looked at the time of the game: the thirteenth minute.
Thirteen is an unlucky number.
Lin Sen repeated his clapping action again, and he was very pleased to see that the players on the field still maintained the consistency of the color above their heads, and no one changed color. Behind him, Dina, whose slender figure was covered in loose tracksuits, frowned, conceding the ball a little early, and the time of the first half was not even half.
After the goal, Villarreal's morale was greatly boosted, and they played more relaxed, and as soon as they relaxed, their already delicate attack was more fluid, Pires and Cazorla took turns to attack Atletico Madrid, forcing Atletico Madrid's two wingers to retreat to help defend most of the time, and Forlan, who was originally alone in the front line, was even more lonely and began to frequently retreat to the midfield to get the ball.
Less than five minutes after the last goal, Villarreal repeated the same trick, this time, the two wing-backs Peña and Barella finally did not fall for it again, but immediately the two of them cursed in their hearts at the same time: Pires and Cazorla saw that the two did not follow, and directly joined the central army.
The 2+2 in the midfield, which was originally parallel to the position, then became a trapezoidal position, plus two forwards, it is almost 2+4. In an instant, as many as four opposing attacking players appeared at the front of the Atletico Madrid penalty area, and at this time, Atletico Madrid, plus the back of the defense, there were only three people in the middle. Fernandez, who is considered to be the culprit who squeezed out Riquelme, is a light straight stopper, and the civet-like Rossi goes to the meeting single-handedly.
2:0!
The Love Song Stadium was jubilant, and in less than twenty minutes, it was a two-goal lead.
"If you regret it now, I can take that gamble." Just as Rossi deftly pushed the ball into the far corner, Barr, who had almost won the bet with Frank, did not have a happy look on his face, and he sighed and said, now, he found that not only was he not happy, but he was also angry.
"No, I don't." Frank shook his head, a little nervously.
If you are willing to gamble, you have to admit defeat, and the facts are in front of you, and Frank has to admit that his chances of winning are indeed not very good. In the last game, although it was still a defeat, he thought that he had seen a change in the team's thinking, and this game might be a gamble, but he didn't expect the team's collapse to come so quickly.
"Are you still an amateur coach after all?"
Frank shook his head in his heart.
All right.
Lin Sen on the sidelines calmed down at this time, and even stopped clapping his previous hands, and he glanced at the color on the top of the heads of the players on the field again: the eleven green hats finally began to glow with a dangerous green light. He seemed to hear a tone such as when a certain condition has been met in the game: Mad Dog condition has been reached, Mad Dog mode is about to start. If he could, Lin Sen didn't want to put the team in such a dangerous situation, as he had done before, like a normal coach to encourage the players not to be discouraged, not to give up, to start over, and to have a better tomorrow. However, the truth is that it is impossible to get the players to put down all their bodies and bite like mad dogs, and the only way is to throw them all into the water.
Now, without Lin Sen, they have already thrown themselves into the water.
After taking a two-goal lead, Manuel Pellegrini quickly sensed that something was wrong, and in the eyes of the tactician, the team was like a delicate instrument in the palm of his hand, and when there was a problem with the instrument, he often knew what was wrong before the parts were broken. Villarreal still maintained almost twice as much possession as Atletico, but the success rate of passes dropped sharply, and at the same time, the number of fouls committed by Atletico began to gradually increase.
The experienced Pires was the first player on the pitch to notice that something was wrong, and the most obvious difference is that he can't seem to get rid of that bitter face now. Not so long ago, opponents would have haunted him almost only when he had the ball, but now, Antonio is almost like a dogskin plaster on him, with or without the ball.
Pires could certainly use his skills to get rid of him, but delaying the fighter was one thing, and more importantly, the opponent didn't seem to be stingy with fouls at all.
So, Pires knew that trouble was coming, and it was a familiar one. One of the biggest troubles he has ever had for Arsenal, who won the title unbeaten with Zào.
The air over the love song stadium soon became full of boos, the fans are not fools, a good end of a big drama of abuse, in the blink of an eye, the team that was still performing gorgeous moves just now was suddenly staggered by the other party's bricks, and everyone would be angry. Lin Sen, who was on the sidelines, put both hands in his pockets at this time, looking innocent: This is really not what I taught them.
