Chapter 247: Lore!
It was in the 7th minute when Diego Costa dribbled the ball on the wing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Alves came over to scramble, and the two collided as they ran, and both fell directly to the ground, before standing up and having a verbal altercation.
The referee gave the two men verbal warnings.
Everyone thought it was just a small episode of the game, after all, it was normal for players to have a little clash on the field between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, but in the 16th minute, Diego Costa was knocked to the ground by Puyol with the ball, which became the trigger point of the conflict.
Diego Costa is injured!
He lay on the grass for more than a minute, and the match was suspended before the referee signaled for the team doctor to come in and lifted Diego Costa down, and the game immediately became more tense.
Wan Sheng is very worried about the injury of Diego Costa, Diego Costa is the team's top scorer in the league, he and Falcao are the most important players in the forward line, and Diego Costa's injury still has a great impact on the team.
Wan Sheng was also worried about the game situation, and the players on the field were a little uncontrollable.
In the following matches, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides increased significantly, physical clashes were frequent, and the Estadio Calderón became a hand-to-hand battle between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
The two players continued to collide physically, all kinds of small actions were not uncommon, and the conflict became more and more serious, until a serious conflict: Juan Forlan and Iniesta had a quarrel, the players of both teams surrounded them, the referee ran over to separate the two, and directly showed two yellow cards, each played 20 boards, after which the players of both teams realized that the game went on like this, and it was not beneficial for either side.
Wan Sheng and Pep Guardiola were on the sidelines, and they kept shouting for the players to control their emotions, and then the situation improved slightly.
Throughout the first half, both teams were goalless.
"What we were seeing was a 22-player wrestling match, not a professional football match." Fernandos Bob, Spain's national sports broadcaster, joked, "It's unimaginable, this is a match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, we want to watch a battle of the century, but we end up seeing such a mindless confrontation!" ”
"The players on both sides are a little out of control, Diego Costa's injury has sparked the anger of the Atletico players, some of Barcelona's players are indeed a bit unclean defensively, let me say that Alves should have been sent off a long time ago, but in terms of physical confrontation, Barcelona seem to be a bit of a loss......"
This is visible to all.
You can know something from the data of fouls, in the first half forty-five minutes, Barcelona fouled 13 times, got 2 yellow cards Atletico Madrid only 7 times, all of which were direct fouls, which indirectly shows that 'Barcelona players have poor confrontation ability', they can't fight head-on against the downside, so they will use all kinds of small actions, and it also shows that 'Barcelona players have darker hands', which is also understandable, after all, many players in Atletico Madrid are very young, and they don't have much experience in the professional league, let them go' The old man's foul is a little embarrassed.
Although the Barcelona players have more 'foul experience', they do not have an advantage in physical confrontations with Atletico Madrid players, and many times they have to use fouls to complete the offense if they want to defend directly.
This is their passive aspect.
The players of both teams adjusted their emotions after the break, and it was only in the second half that the game finally returned to some normal.
Wansheng earnestly told everyone to 'don't be led by the opponent', "Play normally, we will definitely win!" Don't worry about Diego, that's after the game! What you need is to play seriously and not think about anything else! ”
"Always remember that this is a football game! Professional Soccer Game! There are tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of fans watching you! ”
These words are still very valid for the players.
In the second half, the performance of the whole team was much better, as was Barcelona on the opposite side, and the two sides gradually began to exchange technical skills, and the game became exciting.
But it was Barcelona who scored first.
In the 61st minute of the game, Messi helped Barcelona score the first goal.
This is a personal breakthrough for Messi.
After receiving a pass in front of the penalty area, Messi directly chose to break through and shook J Rodriguez and Thiago Silva in succession to score the ball.
The Barcelona media and fans were thrilled and in the 61st minute, they took the lead.
This means that they have a good chance of winning!
The Barcelona fans began to cheer, shouting as much as they could, despite their small numbers, to exhale all the anger they had suffered on Atletico Madrid.
After Messi's goal, the TV camera pointed to Wan Sheng.
Wan Sheng's face was not good-looking.
The game between the two teams was very tight, Wan Sheng didn't expect to play like this, the game was not good-looking, Diego Costa was injured and carried off the field, the exact injury is unknown, and the team fell behind by one goal in the second half.
Could it be that the team's unbeaten streak is ending here?
Wansheng was a little unwilling.
Since arriving at Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2010, he has not lost a single league in the league he has led to.
Now you're about to go through the first one?
Wan Sheng felt a little sighing.
Although he said that he didn't care about the record, as the head coach of the team, how could he really not care, and even if he knew that no team could be unbeaten all the time, he also hoped to break his record of 64 games unbeaten in Manchester City.
If you lose in this round, the previous is equivalent to losing all your previous efforts.
Against Barcelona, there is certainly no problem in tactics, the team's 'BT-F' system is by no means weaker than Barcelona's ball-control play, the home game, the field still has an advantage, the only disadvantage is young, experience, but on the whole, the team has an advantage, but professional football is not a theory, theoretically the team can win, it does not mean that it can really win in the game, otherwise there is no need to play the game at all, and the theory can be spelled.
Barcelona's goal can't be helped, a top star like Messi can't prevent it if he finds a good form, he can only try to limit it, not completely block it.
So what now?
Wan Sheng thought, looking at the game, he thought of Diego Costa, Diego Costa is better than Falcao in terms of playing, in fact, in terms of the strength level of the two, Falcao is more individual, but Diego Costa is more stable in front of the goal, so he scores more goals in the league, and Falcao can play very wonderful goals many times.
The comparison of the technical abilities of the two is a bit like that of Messi and C. Ronaldo.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are both top stars, but their performances are actually different, Messi is more efficient, so he scores more goals, while C-Ronaldo's goals tend to be more exciting and more eye-catching on the field.
Wan Sheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration - perhaps, we can also play personal heroism!
The team is too focused on the whole!
The focus is on or even ignores the individual performance of the players, and the vast majority of the team's goals are scored by the whole team, rather than by the individual players.
But in fact, the stars in the team are not much worse than Barcelona, especially the top players on the field, such as Falcao, his individual ability is quite good, plus various coaching skills bonuses, he is not much worse than Messi on the field.
When playing on weekdays, because the team pays more attention to the overall cooperation, the players have few opportunities to play individually, and as the center of the 433 formation, it plays more of a tactical role than as a real firepower point.
The past Champions League match was very referential, and in the game against Basel, the team did not use a 433 formation, Falcao as a striker, the position is very flexible, he has more room to play, so he scored four goals personally.
Of course, a large part of this is due to Falcao's personal form, but it also shows that Falcao has the ability to perform well.
It's not just Falcao, J Rodriguez is also very good individually, he is not much worse than Falcao, the only thing that is worse may be experience.
After coming to Atletico Madrid, J Rodriguez was focused on developing, as the core of the team, he had to think about the whole team's attack, for the whole team, and also take care of a large part of the defensive work, and the position limited his individual performance.
What happens if J-Rodriguez's point is let go?
So taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Wan Sheng chose to make a substitution, he replaced Mario Suarez, chose to replace Isco, and told Isco to be the core of the frontcourt.
Then Wan Sheng called J Rodriguez to his side and especially gave him a face-to-face lecture.
Wansheng's adjustment is very simple, which is to let Isco play the core, let go of J-Rodriguez, and let him go to the front to attack the Barcelona defense with Falcao.
When J Rodriguez stepped forward, Falcao's job as a tactical centre-forward was less obvious, and he was free to play, and J Rodriguez was free to play.
The team's formation changed from 433 to 442, and the two forwards were Falcao and J Rodriguez.
It's a gambling adjustment.
Wan Sheng also hopes to see how far Falcao and J. Rodriguez can play with constant fire support.
――――
Atletico Madrid's rapid change of formation caught Barcelona a little off guard, and they couldn't understand why Atletico Madrid was able to complete the change of formation in the game.
This is also the advantage of Atletico Madrid's tactics.
'BT-F' tactical system, is a set of system football, there is no fixed formation, in weekday training, each player must adapt to a variety of formations, it sounds very complicated, but in fact, as long as you are familiar with the tactical system, the difference between the various formations is not big, the most important thing is to adapt to the run, in the continuous running, the team formation is constantly changing, coupled with the blurring of the player's sense of position, it is very easy for the team to complete the change of formation.
When J Rodriguez runs forward, players in other positions will automatically move back a bit, and Atletico Madrid's formation changes to 442, changing from three strikers to two strikers.
The team's overall running and coordination philosophy has not changed, the two strikers will get more passes than the three strikers, and the two forwards Falcao and J Rodriguez have received support from the whole team, giving them passes, giving him runs, and giving him the attention of the opposing defense, this style of play makes it difficult for other players to get opportunities, but there are too many opportunities for two strikers.
It was the first time that either Falcao or J Rodriguez had been treated like this.
Especially J-Rodriguez, he felt even deeper, he used to organize the attack, he helped his teammates attract defense, he also had to take care of the team's defense, to prevent the opponent from counterattacking quickly, it can be said that the 'dirty work' on the field of play let him do it, and he could only watch his teammates complete the goals one by one.
Now, everything has changed.
He didn't need to think about anything else, just wait for the opportunity in front of him.
Any frontcourt player will love this way of playing, and J Rodriguez will love it, and he wants to play well and at the same time, he has a lot more pressure because the burden of scoring goals is on his shoulders, but J Rodriguez still enjoys it, he knows it's a rare opportunity to show himself in front of the fans.
The opponent in front of him is Barcelona.
They may have been on Diego Costa at the beginning, but now they are on Falcao.
He just wants to remind them with his performance that the most important thing to pay attention to is not the others, but him - the Colombian star, James Rodriguez!
――――
In the next game, J Rodriguez and Falcao both had a lot of chances, but the Barcelona defense was clearly more aimed at Falcao, J Rodriguez got more chances, and the Atletico Madrid players kept passing the ball to J Rodriguez.
In front of J Rodriguez, Puyol really felt that he was old, and he had no way to do it regardless of whether the opponent used his body or technique.
On two occasions in a row, he was directly breached.
That kind of rapid breakthrough made him feel very powerless, if he was two years younger, he could still try to keep up, but now he can't run at all, and even his judgment is a little delayed, and his movements can't keep up with the rhythm of the other party.
Puyol knew that he couldn't defend against the Colombian, but fortunately the team was still ahead, and as long as he held on for another 10 minutes, the victory would belong to the team.
But Barcelona, which was in a good situation, was in danger in the 87th minute.
When Isco got the ball in the middle circle, he met Xavi who was pressing in the past, and in the face of the seniors, no one thought that Isco's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and dared to dribble the ball by himself, he used a move to turn around on the spot to get rid of Xavi, blocking Xavi behind, just when everyone thought that he was about to pass the ball, he suddenly started and used his speed to leave Xavi behind.
"Isco broke through Xavi!"
Juan Andrés shouted on the Calderón Stadium broadcast, and with his shout, Barcelona had to make up the defense, this time Isco did not pass again, he chose to pass the ball to Kevin De Bruyne next to him, after which he ran to his new position and received a pass from Kevin De Bruyne.
After the two men combined, Isco had already taken the ball to a dangerous position.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid's other players were all on the move, constantly interfering with Barcelona's defence, but despite this, Barcelona devoted most of their energy to Falcao and J Rodriguez, who were the most threatening.
Among Falcao and J Rodriguez, they think Falcao is more threatening, because Falcao is the second most goalscoring player in Atletico Madrid and the player with the most goals in the Champions League.
When Isco got up, everyone knew he was going to pass, Falcao ran into the open space, Pique and Busquets rushed to follow, but they were still one step behind, at this time, the camera cameras followed Falcao, and everyone thought Isco would pass the ball.
Isco suddenly sent the ball to the right side!
Falcao helped attract enough attention to leave the Barcelona defense empty on the right and J Rodriguez on the run, and Puyol next to him couldn't keep up at all!
"Rodriguez!!"
Commentator Juan Andles shouted, and he gave a loud shout that startled a lot of people, but he was so excited because J Rodriguez got the ball unguarded!
After receiving the ball, J Rodriguez decisively got up and shot!
The ball flew over Valdés' head and into the net from the bottom of the crossbar!
1:1!
Lore!
Atletico Madrid equalised! (To be continued.) )
