Chapter 286: I Have an Idea

In the process of watching the video, Zhou Yi used the remote control to pause the playback from time to time, then wrote and drew on the small notebook on the coffee table, thought for a while, and then pressed the remote control to continue playing.

After watching it all over, he replayed it from the beginning.

This was repeated several times before he turned off the television.

When he walked into the bedroom, Cortana was already lying on the bed and ready to sleep.

"I thought you were going to see the second half of the night. Cortana joked at first.

But she found that Zhou Yi didn't react to her jokes, but always frowned, so she asked seriously: "What's wrong?

Zhou Yi snorted: "Very strong." ”

"Better than Bayern Munich?"

"In a sense...... Better than Bayern Munich. The main thing is that their tactics are very targeted, especially for me......" Zhou Yi sat down on the edge of the bed. "Simeone's team is a team that is very good at physical confrontation and I am just not good at physical confrontation. ”

Of course, Cortana knew Zhou Yi's strengths and weaknesses, and she was also worried: "That is indeed a very troublesome opponent. Is there anything you can do?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "No way." ”

"Huh?" Cortana actually heard Zhou Yi say. "What then?"

"If you can't help it, you have to kick, so let's go all out then. Zhou Yi really has nothing to do now, he plans to enter the virtual space to play with Atletico Madrid, and accumulate enough experience in the matches with Atletico Madrid.

For now, there is only one way to deal with it.

It was impossible for him to transform himself into a muscle maniac in just three or four days, and he was not afraid of physical confrontation at all.

And Atletico Madrid will certainly make a fuss about his physical characteristics.

Before the start of training the next day, Zhou Yi knocked on the door of Klopp's office, and then returned the USB disk to head coach Klopp, Klopp was a little surprised: "...... You can keep watching......"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "No need, I already have it in my mind." ”

Klopp did not question Zhou Yi's statement, he believed Zhou Yi, so he asked: "Have you noticed their 'quarantine' of Messi?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "I noticed." ”

Atletico Madrid's defense against Messi was very successful in this game.

You must know that before the game, Barcelona's official website also looked forward to Messi's performance in this game: "Messi scored eight goals against Atletico Madrid at the Calderón Stadium, and fans should remember Barcelona's 6-0 slaughter of Atletico Madrid in 2007, Messi scored twice. He scored twenty goals against Atletico Madrid and is a killer for the Sheets Army, and the defenders of Atletico Madrid are going to have a nightmare night!"

Barcelona coach Martino also said that Messi will be the winner of this game.

As a result, these two FLAGs stand well.

There are very few shots of Messi in the whole game, and the few close-ups are all dejected and spiritless.

Atletico Madrid's high-pressure pressing pushed Messi desperately out of the penalty area, holding the penalty area and not letting Messi in.

And Messi, who is far away from the penalty area, was also cut off from contact with other teammates by Atletico Madrid, Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets are difficult to control the ball calmly under the pressure of Atletico Madrid, and it is difficult to connect with Messi.

As a result, Messi had to fight with a group of iron-blooded men at Atletico Madrid and compete with perseverance.

It's just that this is not Messi's strong point.

So at the Calderón Stadium, Messi disappeared completely. I couldn't see the familiar passes, I couldn't see the precise passes, and the shots were off target again and again.

In addition, Messi's state in this game is really not good, but I don't know if he is not in good shape under the restrictions of Atletico Madrid's targeted defensive tactics, or if he is not in good shape. Because Atletico Madrid got into their rhythm from the start, they didn't give Messi a chance to show his form at all.

After the game, there was a full-court running distance statistics, after playing 90 minutes, Messi, who was not replaced halfway, ran only 6,853 meters!

In this game, Barcelona's goalkeeper Pinto has a running distance of 5,359 meters. The 34-year-old veteran Xavi has even run more than 10,000 meters!

Such a performance even raises doubts about whether Messi did his best against Atletico Madrid......

After the game, in response to the pre-match arrogant declaration on Barcelona's official website, Atletico Madrid fans made a missing person notice to mock Messi and Barcelona: "Leo Messi, 27 years old, Argentine nationality, plays for FC Barcelona. On April 10, 2014, at 7:45 p.m., he went missing at the Calderón Stadium in Madrid, wearing a black T-shirt and black shorts...... If you have any information, please contact FC Barcelona as soon as possible, there will be a reward from the center!"

It's malicious......

"I think as long as Simeone's brain is fine, Atletico Madrid will 'isolate' you like this. Klopp said.

"Of course. Zhou Yi didn't look surprised at all, and he didn't even look worried or troubled.

Klopp noticed Zhou Yi's reaction, so he asked curiously, "What do you have to deal with?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "I can't talk about the way to deal with it, I just have an idea......

Klopp didn't expect Zhou Yi to really be able to come up with something, and he felt more and more that he was right to let Zhou Yi watch the game video - he knew that Zhou Yi would definitely be able to create surprises!

"Oh, let's hear it!" Klopp leaned forward expectantly, making a "deaf" look.

"Atletico Madrid's high pressing is a real problem for a team that pays attention to possession. But coach, we're not a ball-holding team......" Zhou Yi spread his hands.

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Klopp was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Yi didn't stop, and continued: "For those weak teams, we do have an advantage in possession, but with those teams with similar strength or even stronger than us, we have never had an advantage in ball control. If you think about the game we just played against Bayern Munich, we had 29 per cent possession at full-time, but we won 3-1 against Bayern Munich. So I don't think we should be very afraid of Atletico Madrid's high pressing. ”

Klopp nodded again and again, feeling that what Zhou Yi said made sense.

"We also have a powerful weapon to use against pressing, and that's our 'Footbonaut'. Our fast passing is simply a natural nemesis for high pressing. ”

Hearing this, Klopp's eyes lit up.

What is high-level pressing? It is to rely on pressing to form a numerical advantage in local areas to encircle and suppress the side in possession.

Doing so will inevitably leave some areas that cannot be taken care of elsewhere, and there will definitely be time behind you.

It's just that most of the teams that are forced to rob are still difficult to protect themselves, and it is impossible to take advantage of the vacancy left behind the opponent's forced robbery.

But this is not too much of a problem for Dortmund, a team that can play fast passing.

You can come up and press, but I can also pass the ball out before you can press it, as long as you can get the ball out of the encirclement, your press will be useless, and I will have a lot of space to develop the attack.

Of course, such an analysis is only based on theory and lacks practice, but as Zhou Yi said, this does provide Klopp with an idea, and it is a very good idea, which is better than the previous one, and there is no half of the idea, right?

Klopp was excited and happy, and looked at his proud disciple again...... is really a "proud disciple", which makes him proud, and among all the players he has coached, the player he likes the most, appreciates the most, is the most optimistic, and the most relied on is Zhou Yi.

Sometimes, Zhou Yi's role and influence in the team have gone beyond the scope of a top player.

I just showed him the video of the game, but in fact, I didn't report any hope, I just wanted Zhou Yi to be mentally prepared for what situation he would face in the game.

As a result, Zhou Yi gave him a big surprise, and he asked curiously: "This is the place you came up with in one night?"

Zhou Yi could hear the surprise and appreciation in Klopp's tone, he wanted to keep a low profile, so he shook his head: "Don't count." When I watched the live broadcast of the game before, I thought about what to do when I met them, but it was not very clear at that time, and after watching the video edited by the coaching staff many times this time, my thinking gradually became clear......"

In fact, he lied, this is a white lie, he can't tell Klopp that he played eight games with Atletico Madrid in the virtual space where he slept at night, and then he cleared his mind, right?

Klopp saw that Zhou Yi had already thought about it, although it was not as shocking as it came up overnight, but it was also very remarkable - how many players would take the initiative to watch the opponent's game and also think about tactical issues?

Zhou Yi has done well enough, he can't ask for anything more.

So he stood up, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said, "Well done, the next step is training, continue to strengthen our fast passing and cutting cooperation in training! We have to revise the training plan......"

With that, he began to eagerly call the members of the coaching staff one by one and inform them to come to his office for a meeting.

Zhou Yi saw that he had nothing to do, so he decided to say goodbye and leave, but was left behind by Klopp: "Wait, Zhou Yi, you stay." You give them your thoughts, I think that's up to you. ”

It was not the first time that Zhou Yidan had participated in a meeting between the coaching staff, so he did not shirk it, and nodded and readily agreed.
