When Mesut Ozil appeared in the box, Valencia didn't have time to defend, perhaps they didn't expect the opposition to have players to keep up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Atletico Madrid's counter-attack is just too fast!

It was just a split second from the break to the counter-attack, and then after a few simple passes, the ball was at the feet of Diego Costa.

Just a Diego Costa who suddenly appeared in front was unexpected enough.

But Diego Costa is understandably up front, after all, he can be considered the only striker at Atletico Madrid, and even when he drops back to participate in the defense, he is very high up front.

It's amazing that Ozil can appear.

Mesut Ozil launched a counter-attack by Atletico Madrid, and the Valencia players remembered that he was at the back, why did he suddenly appear in a key position in front of the penalty area?

This German kid suddenly appeared like a ghost, so that Valencia didn't have time to react at all, and even goalkeeper Cesar was very surprised when he made a save, "How did that guy appear?" The rest of the Valencia players could only watch Mesut Ozil score.

In fact, this is because Valencia is not yet familiar with the rhythm of Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's tactical style of play, but the three lines are pressed together, when the team counterattacks, the players who stay in the backfield do not just watch, but rush forward with the formation.

After Ozil handed the ball to Assunço, he did nothing, just kept running forward, and in less than ten seconds, it was enough for Ozil to get from the back to the pitch.

When Mesut Ozil ran to position and Diego Costa faced David Navarro, Ozil had a chance.

That's the fast-paced nature of Atletico Madrid.

Valencia is only familiar with their own rhythm, and they don't know that Atletico Madrid will attack so fast, when Atletico Madrid completes the steal, many players in the front court, just run back slowly, and do not retreat in time to participate in the defense, so Atletico Madrid is easy to play advantage and find good opportunities.

All eyes were on Diego Costa and ignored the other Atletico Madrid players.

Mesut Ozil is not alone in running forward, including Raul Garcia and Morris are rushing forward, and the team's backline is moving forward with the formation.

Valencia only pays attention to the players in front of Atletico Madrid, and feels that it is difficult for the players behind to threaten their goal, which is the result of a lack of understanding of Atletico Madrid's tactical play.

Wan Sheng's instillation in the team is that don't be stingy on the field.

This kind of running back and forth may be a waste of physical energy in many cases, but it is undoubtedly very helpful for defense and offense.

A soccer match doesn't need to be played all over the field, and it often only takes one or two successes to determine the outcome of the game.

Therefore, between the offensive and defensive transitions, it is still necessary to run quickly back and forth, and because of this, in the training arranged by Wansheng, physical training and recovery training are the most, even so, the physical fitness of some players will still not be able to keep up, so Wansheng formulates the starting lineup, the most important thing is not ability, but physical fitness, and at the same time, this style of play also has another benefit - the team does not need to worry about the opponent understanding the tactics.

Atletico Madrid's tactics are very physically demanding, and Wan Sheng is very sure that it is impossible for any team to imitate the team's tactics because they do not have the support of the football trainer system and their players do not have that much fitness.

Other teams play like this, whether they can stick to it or not, their players' fitness and condition will definitely be greatly affected.

Therefore, no team can 'imitate' Atletico Madrid's tactical style of play.

Those opponents, even if they know Atletico Madrid's style of play, they will have a hard time finding a way to crack it, because Atletico Madrid's tactical play, regardless of the player's technical ability, can be said to be above board 'using physical strength to play to an advantage'.

So what about the opponents?

Anyway, Wansheng can't think of it for the time being, how to crack the 'b-tf' system tactics.

Maybe some strong teams are not worse than Atletico Madrid, but that kind of play is not at the tactical level, but at the level of players, condition, and coordination.

There is no need to discuss that.

In short, Valencia is in big trouble now, they can't keep up with the 'rhythm' of Atletico Madrid, so they have scored a goal before they can react.

Mesut Ozil's goal left the Valencia players feeling a little dazed.

Before, they thought Valencia had an advantage, but then they were 'advantaged' and were scored by Atletico Madrid?

What's going on?

At the same time, the Valencia fans at the scene also felt very depressed, from the first minute of the game, they were cheering for the team, and the team seemed to play in form and advantage, but until now, the team has not had even a good chance, and Atletico Madrid scored first.

A media commentator sarcastically said, "Valencia is too careless!" ”

Regarding Valencia's goal, some commentators analyzed that Emery's tactical play was problematic, "Valencia is a team that takes defensive counterattack as a tradition, but I don't know why, in this game against the strong offensive Atletico Madrid, they chose to attack ......"

"Obviously, even the Valencia players are not very comfortable with the attacking style of play, and Atletico Madrid is very tight defensively, they didn't play any advantage in attack, but Atletico Madrid scored a goal on the counter-attack!"

"If Valencia loses this game, then the biggest responsibility will undoubtedly lie with coach Unai Emery's tactical choices!"

The media that said these words have probably been selectively forgotten, they kept reporting before the war that "Atletico Madrid's defense is a big problem" and so on, and now they say, "Atletico Madrid's defense is solid", this contradictory statement, that is, the media's cheekiness can be said.

――――

Valencia dugout.

Emery was not in the mood to read what the media was saying, he watched the game seriously, and his expression became very serious.

Unai Emery is now aware that he has made a serious mistake in his judgment of Atletico Madrid.

Unai Emery's coaching ability is still good, he comes from a family of goalkeepers, his grandfather and father were both goalkeepers, but his own career performance is not outstanding, and he has been rolling in the lower league for a long time.

In 2004, Unai Emery decided to retire and become a coach.

In just four years, Emery has become one of Spain's most promising coaches, three years ago, he managed to lead Almeria FC to La Liga for the first time, and in the 2007-2008 season he put in an astonishing performance, predicting that Emeria would be relegated in 20th place, and by April, the club had basically been relegated and finished the season in 8th place.

Emery was able to achieve success in their first La Liga competition, and Unai Emery was really credited with it, with more than 40 per cent of the team's goals coming from set-pieces, which shows that his set-piece tactics are quite good.

In 2008, at the end of his season in La Liga, Emery was recognised by Valencia and began coaching Valencia.

In two years, Unai Emery has led the team to the Champions League twice, and with the results of leading the team to Barcelona and Real Madrid, Emery's coaching ability has been recognized by the club, the media and the fans.

This season, the league has been played three rounds, Valencia is at the top of the league with three consecutive wins, and Unai Emery has led the team to a very good start.

It was a surprise so far in this game, but Unai Emery had come to terms with his mistake and his expression had become serious and he began to watch the game carefully.

After the restart of the game, the situation also changed, and Valencia struggled to play the previous suppression, but became a lot more passive.

The mentality of the Valencia players has changed.

Before the start of the game, every Valencia player was confident that they would be able to beat the 'new Atletico Madrid' team at home.

But now the game is different from what coach Emery said, in the previous game, Atletico Madrid's defense was quite good, they attacked for more than 20 minutes, failed to get a good chance, and several shots on goal failed to pose a threat, but Atletico Madrid used a wave of counter-attack to score the first goal of both sides of the game.

The Valencia players were a little confused, and at the same time, they were a lot more careful in both attack and defense.

But this kind of caution was still restrained by 'tactics' and did not play much role, because the tactical play formulated by Emery was to counter-suppress Atletico Madrid, and Valencia could not play an advantage, so it naturally became a little anxious.

After several waves of attack and defense on both sides, Atletico Madrid created a significantly greater threat.

On 31 minutes, Atletico Madrid almost broke through Valencia with a wave of fast attacks, and if it wasn't for goalkeeper Cesar's quick reaction, Morris's shot would have changed the score.

At this time, Valencia coach Unai Emery also saw something.

In the normal attack and defense, as long as you observe carefully, Atletico Madrid's tactical play is actually very clear, Emery found that whether Atletico Madrid is attacking or defending, the three fronts will 'advance and retreat together', so Atletico Madrid is pressing heavily when attacking, and retreating across the board when defending.

The key to supporting them to complete the offensive and defensive 'common advance and retreat' is actually the conversion of attack and defense - Atletico Madrid's offensive and defensive conversion speed is too fast!

It's not just fast!

If it is only the speed of the transition between attack and defense, it is obviously impossible for the entire team to complete the overall forward or backward movement of the third line, the key is that the players of Atletico Madrid, especially the midfielders, are almost constantly running back and forth.

If you look closely at the Atletico Madrid players in one position, you can find that before the two teams attack and defend several times, the players run at least a third more than the players in the same position in Valencia.

One-third, but that's quite a big difference!

This means that, in the same amount of time, Atletico Madrid players consume a third more energy than Valencia players.

So isn't a 90-minute game at Atletico Madrid the same as a 120-minute game at Valencia?

Unai Emery finally knows why so many media outlets say that Atletico Madrid's summer preparations are sufficient.

In terms of physical fitness alone, Valencia is completely incomparable to Atletico Madrid!

While Emery was thinking, Atletico Madrid launched another wave of tough offensive.

In the face of Atletico Madrid's frontal advance, Valencia chose to retreat to the backfield, they are already good at defense, and it is not easy for Atletico Madrid to attack head-on to get opportunities.

But this time, there is a young player who has put on a brilliant performance and has entered the eyes of all the media and fans.

He is Isco.
