Chapter 0310, Attack!
"Hey, someone's poaching our players again."
"Well, I saw it, and we've been talking for a long time."
"Then you don't care?"
"What do I do? Can I handle it......"
"Well, that's right, these nasty guys."
Shakespeare pursed his lips and glared at Simone fiercely.
Ranieri exhaled softly and looked at the players on the pitch.
When this summer is over, I don't know how many people I will be left behind......
This season, perhaps Leicester's most glorious season, must go all out!
Leicester City are still playing with all the main force today, and there are no problems.
And Atletico Madrid also did their best to play the main game.
Same 4-4-2 formation as Leicester.
Goalkeeper Oblak.
Back four: Felipe, Godin, Jimenez, Juanfrán.
Four midfielders Koke, Gabi, Fernandes, Saul.
Twin centre-forwards Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres.
Also on the bench were players such as Savic, Correa, Vietto, Lucas Hernandez.
To be fair, this Atletico side doesn't have too many stars.
The biggest star is Antoine Griezmann, and Torres is just a veteran.
But despite this, the overall strength of this Atletico team is absolutely at the top level in the world.
Players such as Godin, Koke, and Gabi are all representatives of strength greater than fame.
Under Simeone, they were all very scrappy.
The last round was able to eliminate Barcelona because of its tenacious fighting spirit and hard work.
Today, they are still ferocious!
The referee's whistle blows, and the game officially begins!
Atletico kicked off first.
After the half-time pass, the ball quickly went backwards.
Stabilize the situation.
Although Atletico have two excellent strikers, they are still dominated by fast attacks.
Simeone's side are not afraid of the opposition's attack, they just need a lethal shot.
Today, though, they didn't feel a little uncomfortable.
Because Atletico players have found that so are their opponents!
Atletico controlled the ball at the back, and Leicester City also ran steadily, not rushing forward, and not rushing forward.
This made the Atletico players a little confused.
No, it's not the same as the opponent video we've seen recently.
Since beating Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Atletico have studied Leicester City on a topical basis.
They found Leicester City attacking fiercely.
For example, the 3-1 win over Bayern showed amazing attacking power.
There are also matches in the league, which also show devastating attacking power.
Let's talk about the last few games, swept Sunderland 7-0, beat Watford 4-0, and won PSV Eindhoven 7-2 over two legs in the Champions League quarter-finals.
This Leicester City team has a strong attack.
This is the conclusion reached by Simeone.
However, due to time constraints, he did not pay much attention to Leicester's previous games for too long.
After all, the state at this stage is the most critical.
Atletico are now third in the league and only one game away from Barcelona and Real Madrid in front of them, and the league is also important.
So Atletico can't be as big as Leicester City and focus all their energy on the Champions League.
The La Liga title is just as important to them.
It was because of this negligence that they were surprised.
If they watch Leicester City match videos for a while longer, they will definitely find Leicester City characteristics.
They don't build a team at all, it's defense!
The biggest weapon is also a defensive counterattack!
Moreover, the ferocious physical confrontation is also what Leicester City is good at!
They are a team of style with Atletico!
Back in the Championship, Leicester City fought fiercely.
In the Championship, softies can't survive.
And just after landing in the Premier League, Leicester City also became a dark horse with excellent counterattacks, and their first season was amazing.
But this season, especially after the second half of the season, things have changed.
Because they are far ahead, the opponents have already regarded them as a strong team, so they see Leicester City playing defensive counterattacks and waiting for Leicester City to attack.
forced the Blue Fox to attack frantically to win the game.
That's why it gave Atletico a false impression, as if Leicester City were good at attacking and defending well.
But they were wrong!
Compared to attack, Leicester City's defense is truly world-class!
At the back, Schmeichel's performance this season has been completely top-level!
The two-centre-back combination of Morgan and Hut, the two-sided defenders of Fox and Simpson, the four-man defense is also impregnable!
And the most eye-catching defensive configuration is still the midfield!
Xia Xing's strength and speed, N'Golo Kante's ultra-wide coverage, Drinkwater's physical running and bloody fighting spirit, the three-man midfield combination is absolutely world-class!
Even in this game, Leicester City was still playing steadily, and did not think it was a home stadium and pressed out to attack.
This is precisely the most uncomfortable part of Atletico.
If you don't attack, what will we do?
Ten minutes into the game, neither side had a single shot on goal!
This made the fans in the stands even a little drowsy.
What is the situation?
However, Leicester City is still not in a hurry, and still defends steadily in the midfield.
As long as Atletico pressed a little, they were quick to get up.
Atletico withdrew, and Leicester retreated.
He didn't press all over the court, and the defensive pressure was very small.
Simeone, on the sidelines, narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Ranieri.
I understand!
He's waiting for us to attack, and then hit us in the back!
This old guy!
However, if your team doesn't press out, then it will still be a stalemate.
0-0 at Leicester City's home stadium and back to the Metropolitano Stadium in the next leg, it will be even more difficult for him to play.
At that time, you will have to worry about the problem of away goals, which will be more troublesome.
So today, you have to get an away goal!
Thinking of this, Simeone took advantage of a throw-in and whistled at Godin.
Godin turned his head to look, and he saw a very rare gesture.
Press it up?
Offensive?
Good!
Offensive!
Iron-blooded Atletico Madrid, the execution is bursting!
Under the leadership of Simeone, they formed an iron fist!
Attack quickly!
Godin received Gabi's return pass, and this time he didn't control the tempo on the side, but directly with a big foot!
Pass to the left side!
Cork catches the ball!
On the left flank, Felipe also rushed up.
The full-back assists, Atletico make a fuss from the left wing!
At this point, Cork accelerated with the ball and Mahrez was once again under defensive pressure.
N'Golo Kante quickly pulls the edge to help the defense!
Koke is firmly in control of the ball......
Push forward!
Felipe rushed around the side!
Before the Simpsons grab, make a decisive move!
The cross flew to Torres with precision!
The Spanish golden boy jumps high!
Header hits the goal!
The ball goes straight to the corner!
Schmeichel jumps up quickly and blocks the ball with his fingertips!
Atletico Madrid's wonderful attack was completely blocked by Leicester City!
