When Valencia put on a low profile to challenge Atletico Madrid with a defensive counter-attack, rather than being as good at attacking as they were previously recalled, it shows that they have suffered a lot from Atletico Madrid in the past few years.

Whether it is becoming well-behaved or learning to be smart, today with three defensive backs to focus on Ye Yifeng still grasped the point.

Portugal's rising star Andre Gomez is more offensive and less defensive, so as not to put defensive pressure on Ye Yifeng, and at best only restricts some of his passing lanes.

But Enzo Perez and right wing-back Joao Cancelo defended with an off-the-beaten-path rule that would make it tricky for Ye Yifeng.

At the same time, Parejo always hid behind the two of them to hold the inside line, the meaning is very clear, even if Ye Yifeng breaks through Cancelo, he can only take the outside line on the side.

Compared to Barcelona and Real Madrid, there is always a certain amount of room to advance, but Valencia does not exist.

Space is always the main factor that affects the individual performance of the players, which is why the teams facing Barcelona and Real Madrid often put buses on the bus.

Even if the final result is that the bus fails to withstand the destruction of the opponent, if you let go of the opponent's attack, the consequences are often not as simple as losing, and every minute and second may be nailed to the shame pillar of the team's historic defeat.

Ye Yifeng calmly observed the situation and always remained patient in the attack.

In the 4th minute of the game, just after receiving the half, he sent the ball to the right side with a wide diagonal pass.

Koke burst forward and crossed the ball diagonally in front of Gaya into the right rib of the box.

Griezmann cuts forward and crosses the ball in front of the baseline.

Tall centre-back Adelane cleared the ball.

Valencia attacked and seized the counter-attack, Gomez sent a cannonball forward in front of the center circle, Santi Mina and Rodrygo tried to play a quick pass and cut the ball into the box, but Mina's forward cut was interfered with by Jimenez's physical confrontation.

Oblak confiscated the ball.

In the 7th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng suddenly accelerated to get rid of Gomez in the left side of the dribble, and after stepping on a bicycle in front of Enzo Perez and changing direction to complete the breakthrough, Cancelo grabbed him from the front, Ye Yifeng smashed the ball again, and Cancelo pulled him to foul.

In the non-counter-attacking state, the opponent's foul does not constitute a tactical foul, as long as the action is not too out of line, if it is not an extremely harsh referee, the referee will only give a verbal warning.

In the 11th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng repeated his old tricks, but he rushed into the left side, but when Enzo Perez came to press, he shook, and then pulled the ball to the middle, Parejo hurriedly grabbed it, and Ye Yifeng stabbed the ball to the right position in front of the penalty area.

Griezmann takes the ball with his back and knocks it diagonally.

Cork receives the ball without stopping and crosses directly.

Torres slipped diagonally behind Adelane and tried to volley directly down the right side of the box, only to find the ball wide with his foot.

Atletico Madrid is like creating chances in the middle.

In the 18th minute of the game, Valencia broke the ball against Saul at the back, and then a wave of rapid counterattacks was launched.

Santi Mina pulled up the right side of the pitch and crossed the ball down the middle, and Andre Gomez followed up with a through ball for Rodrygo.

Rodrigo cut into the box with a stoppage, and Godin interfered to force the opponent to shoot.

As a result, the quality of the shot was mediocre and the ball was confiscated by Oblak with a thrilling save.

The bearded coach Nuno sighed helplessly.

Valencia's counterattack relies on three players, no more!

If Ye Yifeng or Griezmann are placed in Valencia, they will have a wider space to face the opponent's defense, and there will naturally be more room to play.

But they play for Atletico Madrid, a team that is not a giant, but it is definitely in the top 10 in Europe!

As a result, even Atletico Madrid is mainly defensive and counter-attacking, but most opponents will not give them enough space and environment to counterattack when facing them.

This is a new challenge that Ye Yifeng encountered when he came to the new team.

The environment and situation in which he faced most of the matches on the pitch has changed radically, and he needs patience and perseverance to go through this long penance!

Just as Real Madrid and Barcelona are facing dense defence almost every day, if you want to stand on the top stage and participate in the top competition, it is not enough to only play counterattacks or fast attacks.

When Ye Yifeng was frequently reported by the media on his game performance, he had a higher reputation, and when he was surrounded by flowers and applause, he also became the target of other teams!

The stage of "surprise" to get a highlight performance is over, and he needs to work hard to improve his performance and maintain his form in more difficult situations.

In the 23rd minute of the game, when Ye Yifeng turned into an inside track after the ball went to the front, Parejo and Enzo Perez formed a frontal interception against him, while Cancelo moved behind the two to help defend at any time.

Ye Yifeng stepped on the bicycle in front of the two and changed direction to pull the ball too hard, intentionally, even though he failed to shake out the space to break through from the front in the acceleration lateral run, but Parejo and Enzo Perez had to move to the middle, and at the same time, another defender, Danilo, also tightened to the middle, and the space on the right side was larger, Ye Yifeng passed the ball decisively.

After the ball, he stepped forward quickly, and when the three midfielders retreated together, they didn't expect Ye Yifeng to turn to the running position to kill the left rib hinterland of the penalty area.

Koke delivers another cross from the wing.

Griezmann and Torres formed a containment of the two central defenders in the penalty area, and Ye Yifeng hit the back point with a left-footed volley!

At the last moment, the footwork was not perfectly controlled, the force was enough, but the angle was off, and the football crossed an external rotation and deviated half a meter from the near corner to fly to the stands.

Atletico Madrid fans still applauded Ye Yifeng and cheered warmly.

If Ye Yifeng is just an offensive organizer, he is definitely not worth 100 million, but he goes from offensive organization to breaking in front of the goal, and occasionally stages a wave of dragons, he is definitely a player that Atletico Madrid can't buy even if he spends another 100 million!

Valencia's defence was tingling, and they never encountered the pressure of Atletico Madrid's troops, but the orderly attack of only four or five players kept the defence in danger.

It's something they haven't seen before against Atletico Madrid.

After all, they have further strengthened their defense.

In the 27th minute of the game, when Valencia subconsciously wanted to block the more active Koke, Ye Yifeng sent a long-distance direct overhead through the attack.

Griezmann cut forward in front of the offside position and stopped the ball on his chest and hit the goal from a tight angle, but goalkeeper Jami made a save to keep the ball out of the line.

Nuno looked nervous and Valencia looked like they could concede at any moment.

In the 32nd minute of the game, when Ye Yifeng tried to break through on the left side of the front, he faked a breakthrough and walked the outside line to make Enzo Perez quickly retreat, and Cancelo did not dare to be careless and retreated to compress the space.

When Enzo Perez stepped up, Ye Yifeng stopped and pulled the ball and turned back, and after seeing the situation in the middle, he sent a horizontal pass.

Saul's assist would have been a good response, but he was a little too big when he changed the direction of the ball himself, and was held back by Daniloka.

The ball was cut off by Mustafi and sent a through ball as he pushed forward.

Andre Gomez orchestrates a counter-attack from the back of the centre circle.

Gabi moves to intercept head-on.

Gomez sent a cross and the ball flew to the right in front of the penalty area, and Santi Mina answered the middle stop and changed direction to open up the distance with Jimenez, at which time Jimenez stepped up and Mina half-turned and passed the ball diagonally to the area behind him.

Rodrygo ran diagonally into the right rib of the penalty area, Felipe Luis assisted in the defense, Rodrigo smashed the ball backwards, but Felipe Luiz's outstretched leg tripped Rodrigo.

The referee points to the penalty spot.

No matter how the Atletico Madrid players protested, the referee was very resolute in awarding a penalty.

Rodrigo took the penalty and Oblak was able to save the ball when he was right.

Atletico Madrid 0:1 Valencia.

Valencia will cheer and celebrate, and Nuno is especially excited to see the moon as if the clouds are open!

Simone's face did not change and there were no waves.

A firm eye reveals confidence in the team.

This is the temperament of a strong team.

Conceding a goal? Lag?

If you have to panic, it's a miracle not to be scared to pee a few times a season.

After Atletico Madrid's kick-off, Valencia, who had further strengthened their defense, picked up noticeably.

Ye Yifeng's idea is very good, he can play a threat on the left from time to time, and then contain Valencia's defensive force.

Create better space for the right side to attack.

However, in positional battles, Koke and Saul's performance lacked creativity.

It's obviously a pass without interference, but it's mostly a short pass at the foot of the ball, or a cross to look at the face.

The quality of the delivery of the threat ball is not to be complimented.

This has always been a shackle that has constrained Atletico Madrid from becoming the best of the top teams.

Players who can fight and play are a little less shocking talent.

Players with artistic temperament are not tough enough.

In the 36th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng completed a collision with Torres in the left dribble and cut inside, and came to the middle position in front of the penalty area to grab a long shot before the formation of Valencia's encirclement!

The ball flew like a cannonball into the top right corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Jami almost raised his hand in surrender.

But the ball grazed the upper edge of the beam and flew to the stands.

The difference is a fraction of a centimeter.

One more point is a goal.

Three minutes later, Athletic Madrid's right side Juanfran assisted, and he also crossed after going down.

Valencia strengthened their defense, and Ye Yifeng failed to scramble for a header in the back-up with Mustafi in the follow-up.

The ball was cleared and then hit by Saul after stopping the ball and adjusting it to shoot from distance.

This time the ball hits Danilo and flies off the baseline.

Corner kick attack.

Godin's header from high in the box is blocked by Jammie!

Nuno clapped his hands on the sidelines for his team's tenacious defence, but he didn't have it easy inside.

Atletico Madrid's attack was already threatening, but Valencia's counter-attack failed to play any sharper.

If Valencia can hold out until 65 minutes and still lead Atletico Madrid, he will definitely make substitutions to further strengthen the defense!

Only, will Atletico Madrid give him this chance?
