Chapter 327: Season 13 - Season 14 Opener Begins!
The media and fans were very concerned about Li Chuanqi's opening match at Atletico Madrid.
With a new team, under the new tactical system, is Li Chuanqi still as good as last season?
"For Atletico, there have been a lot of changes this season, it's a brand new team, can Simeone bring these players together in just a few days?
For him, it was a great test.
For Lee, Atletico's tactical system is completely different from MΓ‘laga's, can he adapt to Simeone's tactical requirements?
Simeone has high demands on every player, no matter who it is, and he has to be fully committed when attacking and defending.
Lee's offense is no problem, and judging by his success in freezing Messi, his defense is also fine.
But judging by that Rose Garden game, Lee has yet to find a balance between offense and defense.
Although Messi was frozen in that game, he did not have many chances to show in attack, scoring only one goal.
Scoring a goal is already a good performance for other strikers, but for a player of Lee's calibre, it's a little less.
That match revealed that Lee had not yet found the best balance between attack and defence.
That's Lee's biggest problem at Atletico.
It is also something that Simeone should consider solving.
If this problem is not solved well, Lee will not be able to integrate into Atletico's tactical system.
Unless Simeone gives Lee the privilege of not getting too involved in defense, he will focus on the offense and show his talent in the offense! β
World Sports spoke about the same issue: "If Simeone gives Lee the privilege of not being too involved in defense, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other players, so Simeone probably won't do that."
It will definitely take a process for Lee to adapt to Simeone's tactics.
So, in his first game, everyone doesn't have to expect too much. β
Both media outlets believe that Li Chuanqi will not fit into Atletico's tactical system, or Simeone will compromise and not give Li Chuanqi too heavy defensive tasks and focus on attacking.
Alternatively, he is deeply involved in defending, just like any other player, but that will inevitably affect his offense.
In their eyes, this is an irreconcilable contradiction.
But Li Chuanqi doesn't think so, in recent training, he has slowly adapted to Simeone's tactics, and also accepted Simeone's tactical philosophy.
Football is a whole, and all members participate in the defense to protect the safety of the penalty area to the greatest extent.
When attacking, push to the front court as fast as possible, trading speed for space.
This is a style of play that does not pursue possession, but pursues offensive efficiency.
For a striker with high offensive efficiency like Li Chuanqi, this style of play is not excluded.
The "privilege" that Simeone promised him was finally mentioned at the pre-match meeting.
"Diego! The first option after getting the ball is to transfer the ball to Lee's feet! β
Costa shrugged indifferently and agreed to come down.
Simeone looked at the other players and said: "After getting the ball in central midfield, you have to look at Lee's position first, and if he has an open space, give him the football!" β
The atmosphere in the locker room changed slightly.
Simeone knew what was going on in their minds and said: "When Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, Real Madrid's tactics were very simple, take the ball to Zidane in the backfield, and Zidane to find Ronaldo with the ball.
Although Lee is young and has only played in La Liga and the Champions League for one year, he has already shown his worth!
If any of you can win the Golden Boot in La Liga and the Champions League, I will develop tactics with you at the core! β
Speaking of Ronaldo, everyone suppressed the strange emotion in their hearts.
The locker room is all about strength.
La Liga and the Champions League Golden Boot are Li Chuanqi's merits and a reflection of his ability.
Moreover, you must know that Messi and Cristiano are in their prime, and their ability to beat these two can fully explain the problem.
Simeone solved the matter simply and crudely.
Of course, if Li Chuanqi fails to reflect his value in the game, this sentiment will naturally rise again.

Estadio Pizjuan, home of Sevilla.
At 7 p.m. on the 19th, the stadium was packed with people, and the first round of the 2013-14 season was about to begin.
Everyone is looking forward to the new season.
At 7:15, the starters of both sides walked out of the tunnel of the players.
They were greeted by a tsunami of cheers!
The Madrid Sports reporter exclaimed: "The first round of the 2013-14 season is about to begin, and Atletico Madrid's opponent in the first round is Sevilla! And it's an away game!
The biggest attraction tonight, of course, is Lee's performance.
Some media questioned him before the game, arguing that the match was not worth looking forward to, because his style was incompatible with Simeone's tactical system.
Lee did not comment on this.
Can Lee fit into Simeone's tactics? What place does he occupy in Simeone's tactical system?
It will be revealed tonight! β
The commentator of the sports channel of Sevilla TV exclaimed: "The opening match of the new season is about to begin!"
Now we give you a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.
Simeone lined up in a four-four-two formation, goalkeeper: Courtois; Four defenders: Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Felipe; Four midfielders: Koke, Thiago, Gabi, Turan; Two strikers: Diego Costa, Lee!
Lee's position is still on the left, which is the same as when he was in Malaga!
He and Costa will take on the task of storming the city.
Sevilla's four-two-three-one formation: goalkeeper: Beto; Defenders: Coke, Cara, Navarro, Moreno; Two midfielders: Mbia, Christoflo; Three midfielders: Jaylo, Rakitic, Bitolo; Single striker: Gameiro!
Judging from the number of reporters, this opening match has indeed attracted great attention from the media!
There are more than 70 photojournalists and more than 100 text journalists!
That's far more than last season's opening match between Celta Vigo and Malaga!
This is the star effect, and Lee has now become one of the most watched stars by Spanish fans! β
β¦β¦
Thousands of miles away in Malaga.
Li Chuanqi's family sat in front of the TV, because the distance was too far, they did not go to the scene to cheer for Li Chuanqi.
In addition to them, there are many neighbors in the community.
They sit or stand.
"That's Huzi!"
Everyone recognized Li Chuanqi at a glance, with black hair and an Asian face, he looked so "outlier" among the players.
Lee Hyun-gi sighed: "Time flies so fast, I feel that last season just ended, and now the new season has begun......"
Someone responded to him: "Yes, yes, it seems to have slept a night, and after waking up, the new season has begun!" β
Zhang Xian looked at her second son on the TV screen and sighed, Huzi, this is a new challenge......
β¦β¦
Pizjuan Stadium.
"Drop! β¦β¦β
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Li Chuanqi moved the football to the back, and Sevilla's midfield immediately pressed. Please keep in mind: Lily, URL mobile version PC version, Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
