Chapter 325: Simeone's Football Philosophy
Li Chuanqi's bold statement that he would lead Atletico Madrid to win the Champions League ignited the atmosphere at Calderón Stadium.
Screams and applause resounded throughout the audience.
Then came the show time, with Simeone motioning for him to do what he had done at the Rose Garden again.
Li Chuanqi took the football and began to perform.
He warmed up with a juggling ball, and the ball obediently flew around him.
Dozens of seconds later, Li Chuanqi suddenly kicked the football into the air with a big foot!
"Here we go!"
Atletico fans were very excited.
When the football fell, Li Chuanqi kicked the football into the air with another big foot!
“2! ……”
“3! ……”
“15! ……”
“25! ……”
“37! ……”
Due to excessive force, Li Chuanqi's left shoe fell off.
"Is it over?"
Atletico fans have some regrets.
What surprised the scene happened, Li Chuanqi didn't put on his shoes and kicked the football into the air again!
Screams and applause rang out again!
“57! ……”
When the football fell, Li Chuanqi stretched out his left foot, stopped the football firmly on the instep, and gently picked it up, picking the football to the top of his head, ending the performance!
The applause at Calderón Stadium lasted for a long time.
It was a one-of-a-kind performance that left Atletico fans infinitely satisfied.
Li Chuanqi showed his talent.
Simeone exclaimed: "He was born for football!" I felt like I saw Maradona again! ”
Atletico Madrid president Cerezo sighed: "At this moment, he has completely conquered Atletico Madrid fans!" ”
Simeone nodded and said, "Yes, the King of the Rose Garden, he will soon be the King of Calderón!" ”
At the end of the performance, Li Chuanqi didn't take a breath.
The Atletico hierarchy and Simeone stepped forward to hug him.
……
After the welcome ceremony, Li Chuanqi stayed in Madrid, because Atletico Madrid was about to have a pre-match training camp.
Blanca Padilla was not present at the welcome ceremony, as she had gone to New York for a fashion show.
With the exposure of her relationship with Li Chuanqi, her popularity has skyrocketed again and she has become a hot figure in the modeling industry.
Li Chuanqi's bold remarks at the welcoming ceremony soon appeared in the media.
The Catalan regional media turned on the mockery mode: "After winning the La Liga and Champions League Golden Boot, Lee began to swell!" Lead Atletico to the Champions League? Lee, what do you think of Europe's giants? ”
Li Chuanqi shot back: "Who said that the Champions League is for the giants? In addition, even if it is for the giants, Atletico Madrid cannot become the new giants? ”
World Sports Newspaper brought Real Madrid out and said: "Atletico Madrid is going to become a giant, have you asked Real Madrid?" Have you asked Barcelona?
Real Madrid allow Atletico to become the new giant?
Even if they agree, Barcelona won't agree! ”
Li Chuanqi retorted: "Atletico Madrid doesn't need anyone's consent to become a giant!" ”
Li Chuanqi and Catalonia engaged in a war of words in the media, and fans of both sides opened a second battlefield on the Internet.
Real Madrid fans are in solidarity with Atletico, and although they are bitter rivals in the same city, they are of the same opinion when facing Barcelona.
"Atletico Madrid wants to become a giant, Real Madrid has no opinion, one city and two giants, this is the glory of Madrid!"
"Two seasons without a score, is there such a giant?"
"Barcelona is scared?"
……
On August 4, Atletico Madrid's training camp officially began.
When Li Chuanqi walked into the locker room of the training base under the leadership of the staff, the Atletico Madrid players prepared a welcome ceremony for him.
Costa gave him a big hug: "Welcome to Devil's Boot Camp!" ”
Li Chuanqi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time, and it was only in the subsequent training that he understood what this sentence meant.
Li Chuanqi experienced Simeone's devilish training, and the Argentine attaches great importance to physical fitness, with a large number of interval runs and continuous running, which makes the players complain.
Li Chuanqi suspected that if he hadn't kept training, he might have collapsed in the first training session.
Because by the end of the first class, there were very few people standing!
Atletico Madrid's training volume is indeed large, but the training atmosphere is very good, although Costa is the one who vomits the most, but he still completes all the training content without compromise.
This fitness lasted for a whole week.
In one week, Atletico Madrid's players lost an average of five kilograms!
Simeone is not lying, Atletico Madrid really has no difference between the local gang and the South American gang, everyone treats each other as brothers, which is the result of Simeone's hard work for a season.
As for the "privilege" he promised Li Chuanqi, at least until now, he has not seen it.
In the following training, the proportion of physical training decreases, but the intensity is still high.
Simeone's technical and tactical training is not the same as many clubs.
"Three seconds!"
During confrontation training, Simeone counted the seconds loudly from time to time: "1! …… 2! ……”
The players desperately counter-attacked.
Simeone demanded that his players must counter-attack three seconds after conceding the ball.
"The time period with the highest success rate of counter-robbery is these three seconds!"
The Argentines are constantly instilling their players with their own football philosophy.
"It's not terrible to lose a ball, it's terrible to lose a ball and not go to the counter-robbery, so that the opponent can calmly organize the attack!"
In addition to counter-grabbing, he is very strict with the retreat requirements of midfielders: "So people, when the opponent attacks, must retreat across the board!" Get back to your own half as fast as you can! Back to the penalty area, to be exact! ”
It's very much like the Dutch all-attack, all-defence tactics.
In fact, the origin of the Dutch all-attack and all-defense tactics is to solve the defensive problem.
Everyone on the team must be involved in the defense!
Simeone went one step further and when defending, not only had to be fully involved, but also quickly returned to his own penalty area.
In this way, the safety of the goal can be greatly guaranteed.
Atletico's attack tends to be quick counter-attacking, not pursuing layers of advancement, and when the ball is held at the back, the football is transferred to the front court as quickly as possible, and to the feet of the striker.
This kind of tactic is very physically demanding, which is why Simeone puts physical training in a very important position.
For quick counterattack tactics, Li Chuanqi is no stranger.
Santa Málaga were able to win the Copa del Rey thanks to their quick counter-attacking tactics.
He was the knife of Santa Málaga at the time, and time and time again, with his unrivalled speed, he got a single chance to help the team open the door to victory.
When I was in Malaga, when I played against strong teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, I also played defensive counter-attacking tactics.
Pellegrini asked Yosko to move the ball forward with a long pass in the easiest way possible.
Atletico's quick counter-attacks are not the same as those of San Malaga and Malaga, they are more through ground transfers, moving football to the front.
This requires Li Chuanqi to often move forward quickly from the backcourt.
He's adapting quickly to Simeone's style of play.
Simeone's team is like a train that is always moving at high speed, and the players are constantly running on the field.
Of course, for the opponent, this is a "hooligan" style of play, which does not emphasize martial virtues.
All the players returned to the penalty area to defend, greatly compressing the opponent's attacking space, making it impossible to start!
After a season of practice, Simeone is quite confident in his football philosophy.
This style of play has been ridiculed by many experts, and the attacking players put a lot of energy on defense, which is killing their offensive talent!
World Sports newspaper ridiculed: "Lee said that Atletico Madrid wants to become a giant, is there such a giant in the world?" A giant cowering in the penalty area?
An important sign of being a big club is to attack luxuriously, not defensively!
What is the essence of football in Spain?
Offensive!
Simeone is stifling the attacking talent of Spanish players, which is contrary to the philosophy of Spanish football!
So, Simeone was doomed to be impossible to succeed!
Lee's rhetoric will be an empty word! "Please keep in mind: Lily, website mobile version computer version, lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
