Chapter 152 After having Pintus, fighting a war of attrition is Real Madrid's absolute strength
The most impressive impression that Leon has left on the court for the neutral fans is basically the consistency of his performance and the high ball quotient.
Whether it is on the defensive end or on the offensive end, Li Ang's performance has basically not seen any big ups and downs, and the progress has been gradual and gradual.
His style of play was like this from the beginning, and he didn't do much of what he wasn't good at, so that many fans were already familiar with his calm stadium image.
Talented and smart, his movements are clean, and he is a "good guy" image on the court.
So today, when I saw Li Ang's slightly slippery defensive scene, many neutral fans felt very novel.
They suddenly have a:
"It turns out that Li Ang doesn't know the defensive moves that these defenders are used to, it's just that he can't usually find opponents to use" sighed.
And for Real Madrid fans, they have already seen it once last season.
At that time, Leon helped Khedi pull his head, and he took out this unsparing posture to force Costa back.
Fans who don't watch every Real Madrid game will naturally feel novel, but they, Real Madrid fans, have long expected it.
In general, Leon's defensive strategy is to "watch people".
What his opponent is playing style, his defensive style is what kind of style.
Therefore, Leang's most excessive defensive action in the face of Messi and Isco is basically tugging on the jersey.
There are definitely small movements, but they are not excessive, and the overall look is clean.
But when facing offensive players like Diego Costa, who like to fight against defenders and even maliciously provoke, Leon is not so polite.
The small countervailing actions that Costa can do, Leon can return without any psychological burden.
Smarter and more clever to fight for the ball with small means is perfectly fine for Leon.
Want to be fair?
Then don't use those tricks that can't be seen in the first place, just allow you to use them, and don't allow me to use them to fight back?
It doesn't make sense.
Costa will only continue to be deflated, as long as he is still outside the penalty area against Leon, then he will continue to enjoy being targeted by Leon defensively.
It can be said that the advantage he took on Alonso and Ramos in front of him will have all been returned.
Even if his small actions made Li Ang uncomfortable, but Li Ang did not back down at all, and if the stalemate continued, it was Atletico Madrid who suffered in the end.
After all, he was so guarded that he was silent, so Turan and Coke's adduction passes were basically useless.
Without him to disrupt the Real Madrid defense, Falcao still has a chance to get rid of Ramos or Pepe's marking.
Falcao, who can't get a chance to shoot, is really not as effective on the field as Simeone adding a winger or midfielder.
Costa would love to replace Falcao as Atletico's finishing core, but he also knows he doesn't have the ability to do so yet.
And he really wants to win this game against Real Madrid.
The thrill of overturning the wealthy family seems to be the driving force engraved in his bones for him.
In this respect, he is very similar to Simeone.
There is no lack of fighting spirit, no lack of sacrifice, even if he is a center, but he is willing to do the dirty work and defend.
Seeing the team's current predicament, Costa opted for a wider range of running containment.
Well, there is still a role.
After all, the offensive and defensive competition in football, to put it bluntly, is largely to see whether a certain area can create an offensive or defensive strong side.
Led by Costa, Atletico Madrid's midfield players have also stepped up their running, and can frequently form a numerical advantage in local areas, and this opportunity will slowly come out.
But Turan can switch positions with Cork up front, but Felipe Luis can't switch positions with Juanfran in the front court.
Felipe is currently the equivalent of a left winger in Atletico's attacking system.
Essien will stare at him to death, and Alonso is still actively defending on the sidelines, so that Felipe Luis can only return halfway every time he advances.
Unable to go down, Neche was stuck in the route by Alonso and Leon who occasionally came over, and Felipe Luis was basically held down at this point.
Jose Mourinho was pleased with the look in the dugout.
He felt that his tactical research on Simeone some time ago was not in vain.
To be honest, he still admires Simeone's ability to come up with this set of full-back adduction organization in more than half a year, and the full-back insertion into the offensive routine.
It was precisely because of this admiration that he didn't want to give Simeone the slightest chance to sneak attack.
With Felipe Luiz and Juanfran in turn, and Cork and Turan interspersed passes in the rib area, Falcao might be able to run a real threat.
In this case, to bet on a center forward who scored a total of 36 goals last season would be an absolute tactical failure.
Karanka will also see the offensive essence of Simeone's tactics.
"Plug in on the wings, organise passes in the middle, spread out the same line in the pursuit of speed, and at most you can have up to six players involved!
The utilization of this land width is almost impeccable, and the key thing is that they also have a super endpoint that is. It's a pity! ”
Karanka sighed as he took tactical notes, but the last unfinished words made Pintus, who was sitting next to him, curious.
Mu Shuai nodded secretly, clasped his hands to his chest, and told Pintus about the pity that Karanka didn't say in the end.
"It's a pity that their firepower is too concentrated, this tactic, the attack is very efficient, so Falcao can now play with an average of one goal per game in the league.
But once the passing link between these players and Falcao is severed, Atletico's attack is basically paralyzed.
Antonio (Pintus), think about it, if Atletico Madrid has two players in the front field who can score in double figures, then can we still be so targeted? ”
Mourinho's analysis was very clear, and Pintus also understood, and subconsciously shook his head.
If Atletico's firepower is more dispersed, then their current style of play will be more powerful and more difficult to target.
After all, while Falcao is restricted, Real Madrid's defensive attention will also be held back.
At this time, if two or more La Liga quasi-first-class attackers stand up, the impact on Real Madrid's defense will be very fatal.
Fortunately, Atletico Madrid can't have the luxury of having such an attacking configuration.
Costa had just reached the threshold of a double-double last season, and he would have been entangled in Leon and could not let go of his hands and feet to disrupt Real Madrid's penalty defence.
As for Turan and Cork?
One scored five goals last season and one scored two goals last season, so it's okay for them to organise passes.
Koke can even achieve a double-double in assists in a single season, but let the two of them share the finishing pressure on Falcao at the moment, which is difficult in the strongman.
Real Madrid almost completely strangled Atletico's offensive with the defensive investment in the opening stage, but Real Madrid was not in a hurry to attack.
Only defend but not attack, there is no offensive and defensive conversion, and Atletico Madrid can't fight Real Madrid's counterattack.
Simeone didn't wait until the first twenty minutes before changing his face as Leon expected.
In the seventeenth minute of the game, Simeone stood on the sidelines, looking at the situation that was completely unfavorable to his side.
Before the start of the game, he managed to inspire the Atletico players to win.
The Atletico players on the pitch are also very active in running and scrambling.
Just looking at the scene, in fact, Atletico Madrid played quite well, and there was not much to do with Real Madrid's defense, but their possession rate exceeded that of Real Madrid.
For viewers who don't understand the ball, what they can see is that Atletico Madrid has been actively seeking offensive opportunities, and Real Madrid has occasionally broken the ball to counterattack.
Then it would be reasonable to say that Atletico Madrid took the initiative in the game, right?
But in the eyes of the commentators and fans who understand the ball, they can understand Simeone's anxiety.
In the first 20 minutes, Real Madrid's defense was solid, and the attacking players did not exert much force, at best, they ran and warmed up when they counterattacked.
But Atletico Madrid didn't stop for a moment, always looking for opportunities.
Originally, they wanted to play defense, but this would be completely forced by Real Madrid to take the initiative to press forward and attack.
The physical and energetic exertion is real, and it's okay to play like this in the first half, but what about the second half?
'If the game continues like this, then the Atletico players will have to face this problem in the second half.
When they had to find a way to slow down the pace due to physical limitations, Real Madrid chose to speed up in that time period, and will Atletico be able to withstand Real Madrid's rapid onslaught? ”
He Wei saw it very clearly, and the questions he raised were also very sharp.
However, as soon as the pace of the game is mentioned, it is not up to Atletico to decide whether to slow down or not.
Whenever Atletico Madrid's attack is not going well and they want to retreat to the formation for a while, Real Madrid will choose to force for a while.
After breaking the ball and playing a wave of quick counterattacks, Atletico had to retreat quickly.
It doesn't matter if you can't break the ball, anyway, the rhythm of this game can't be broken, whether it's offensive or defensive, you Atletico like a wide range of running and pressing, so you have to run enough!
On Real Madrid's side, of course, the most running consumption in the entire first half was of course Leon, followed by Essien and Alonso, and Modric's physical consumption was quite normal.
It can be said that Real Madrid's midfield and backfield defense completed the tactical task of the first half very well, and did not give Atletico Madrid even a great opportunity to attack.
However, Real Madrid's offensive trident didn't even sweat much, and when he counterattacked, rushing that distance was at best a warm-up.
Compared with the devil's physical fitness that Pintus occasionally engages in, this kind of consumption can be described as "happiness".
Of course, there was not much effort in the first half, and in the second half you had to show your performance to take over the rhythm of the game.
Mu Shuai didn't let his own trident play soy sauce today.
The Real Madrid players at the back shouldered the defensive burden, and the first half also greatly drained the physical energy and energy of the Atletico midfielders.
In this case, Ronaldo and Di Maria can't rush Atletico Madrid's central defense, so they should really be hit by a Mu hair dryer.
"Why is this style of play so familiar?"
After listening to Mu Shuai's tactics for the second half in the locker room, Li Ang muttered in his heart while taking a sip of water.
And when the second half of the game began, after Li Ang inadvertently glanced at a certain bald guy sitting in his coach's seat, he reacted instantly.
Isn't this his favorite set of metaphysical play during the three consecutive Champions League games led by Qi Zu in his memory!
Real Madrid at that time likes to play a war of attrition with the opponent in the first half, no matter whether the opponent is weak or strong, anyway, Real Madrid's first half is basically five or five with the opposite side.
Sixty or seventy minutes into the second half, Real Madrid made another wave of force, using abundant energy and physical strength to directly crush the opponent!
The further back you go, the more efficient Real Madrid's attack becomes.
Often when the opponent has been unable to raise the rhythm for seventy or eighty minutes, Real Madrid can still force the speed, and playing like this, there will really be few opponents who can withstand it.
Looking at it now, the style of play adopted by Mu Shuai today is indeed similar to Qi Zu's metaphysical tactics.
It is Zizuna who believes more in the ability of his midfielder to control the field, and will not put the opponent too much into his own defensive hinterland when competing with the opponent.
And Mourinho obviously believes in the defensive level of his own midfield, and is not afraid of Atletico Madrid's frequent attacks in Real Madrid's half.
However, in terms of the idea of taking over the game in the second half, Mourinho and Zizou are completely compatible.
It is necessary to play a quick counterattack to advance, increase the number of offensive rounds, and make it difficult for the opponent to parry.
Simeone felt fine at the start of the second half.
He expected that Real Madrid would steal the start, and he also made his disciples mentally prepared.
But he didn't expect that Real Madrid's "grabbing the start" was a little different from other teams.
It's too "long-lasting"!
After a wave of attacks went unsuccessful, Atletico thought that Real Madrid would continue to retreat and go back to find an opportunity to break the ball and counterattack.
As a result, Real Madrid did not retreat in the second half, and as soon as the posture of high pressure came out, Leon and Modric were almost nailed to Atletico Madrid's half.
The midfield interception line moved forward, coupled with the equally active scrambling of Real Madrid's attacking players, the pressure on Atletico Madrid's backfield defense line was suddenly countless times greater than in the first half!
In the 58th minute of the second half, Mourinho replaced Coentrão with Marcelo.
This time, Atletico Madrid's right side did not dare to step forward easily, and the wing combination of Ronaldo and Marcelo pressed Gabi so much that he had to lean over to focus on defense.
But Real Madrid is not Atletico Madrid, and there is only one finishing core at the moment.
When Atletico's defensive centre of gravity leaned towards the right, Modric split the ball to cover Di Maria and cut forward with the ball.
Mario Suarez and Felipe Luis were unable to stop the Argentine Angels who suddenly went berserk.
And when Miranda dropped his defense zone to intercept Di Maria, Angel was stunned and passed the ball back in the three-person chase interception!
The follow-up Li Ang was very smart at this time and did not continue to insert into the Atletico Madrid penalty area, he chose to lead the ball laterally!
This step allowed him to directly shake off Gabi who pounced to make up for the defense, and then he sent a deadly forward pass!
Instead of stuffing to the left side of the penalty area, and there was no intention of looking for Ronaldo again, Leon's passing choice suddenly made Godin's marking of Ronaldo a mistake!
He is looking for Benzema, who has tacit understanding!
Even if Mario Suarez had already defended Benzema for the first time in the penalty area, the seemingly short time during this period was enough for Benzema to adjust his steps and shoot!
Courtois watched Benzema's shooting and immediately judged that Benzema would play in the middle of the goal, and he was ready to save.
But when Benzema threw a shot aimed between his crotch, his brain went blank!
Courtois's goal-line skills are good, his reflexes are quick, his height and arms are long, and he can easily make a good save on the pitch.
But this "small door" is the only one, it's not that he doesn't want to guard against it, he's too high, and he can't get up quickly when he gets off the ground!
The speed of sitting on the ground was still a beat slower, and seeing the football pass between his legs, Courtois immediately became angry and angry, and slammed the turf as he fell to the ground!
Di Maria took the ball out, Leon. Strike! It's over, straight stopper!!
Benzema——!!! Oh!!! Wear a crotch ball! Benzema's shot went through Courtois's goal! The ball went in!!
Alas! Godin's defensive judgment was wrong! Suarez also didn't stick to Benzema, but Benzema also played decisively and confidently!
Assist from Leon! Benzema broke the deadlock of the game, and in the 64th minute of the second half, Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead! ”
He Wei celebrated with a passionate commentary in the studio, and at this moment, the entire Bernabeu finally let out a huge wave of cheers!
Guo Feng was very happy, after all, he became the protagonist of the goal in a key derby, and he rushed directly to the corner flag area and jumped high and threw an excited fist.
After Leon raised his arms and shouted on the spot, he also hugged Modric who was nearby.
Under the boiling cheers, Simeone slapped his head and shook his hand a little distraught.
On the other side, Mourinho stood up and applauded with relief.
When it comes to tactical preparation, Mourinho is confident that he can outperform Simeone.
Because he really attaches enough importance to his opponent, he does not despise the two because their current reputation in football is not at the same level.
However, no matter how confident he is, before he failed to score, Mu Shuai still couldn't completely settle down in his heart.
Now that the goal is scored, he has nothing to worry about, and if he can score a goal 80 points ago, the game will be completely closed.
He thought so, and the Real Madrid players on the field did not completely relax at this time, and they all had the idea of chasing after the victory.
Therefore, Simeone's side has not had time to make tactical adjustments, and after the game resumes, Atletico Madrid will have to face Real Madrid's big pressure to attack!
Three minutes later, Simeone saw that the situation was getting more and more wrong, and he had already made a quick tactical explanation to midfielder Raul Garcia and striker Adrian, who had finished warming up.
He's going to play a little simpler in the final moments, with Raul Garcia stepping up to bolster the midfield, and he's also a threat to get up front.
Not to mention Adrian, who was sent to give it a shot on the offensive end.
But Simeone's side had just finished explaining the tactics and the substitution application had just been submitted, and there was a thunderous cheer at the Bernabeu!
Di Maria succeeded in dribbling Felipe Luis at this moment, and before the opponent could chase back the foul, he decisively changed to cut inside again, and passed Mario Suarez!
Angel's performance this time in a row made the Real Madrid fans on the scene completely fall into passion!
After bursting into his own firing range, Di Maria also played a high-quality kick very decisively!
Under normal circumstances, Di Maria can start celebrating in advance at this time.
But Courtois didn't have the trouble of being broken again this time, and reacted quickly to block this shot aimed at the dead corner with one palm!
His arm length advantage is vividly revealed at this moment!
Seeing this, Benzema and Miranda desperately stuck in position, and finally took the lead in the penalty area to give the football to the top of the arc of the penalty area, which will have every chance to hit Modric who shoots from a distance.
However, Modric did not be greedy this time, and patiently divided the ball again and gave it to Ronaldo, who was just pulling out of the penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo had already observed his position in the Atletico penalty area before receiving the ball.
This will be in front of him, Juanfran and Cork are already in the middle, and it will be very difficult to cut inside.
In the blink of an eye, Ronaldo made a choice of attacking methods.
After taking the ball with the momentum, he broke out and shook off the angle, and then did not go any further, but directly chose to cross with his feet!
The Atletico players who had been around this way began to hurriedly follow the trajectory of the football to the other side of the penalty area.
But Ronaldo's biography is too flat!
Before Atletico Madrid's overall defense line was in place, a white figure erupted with extremely fast acceleration, grabbing the position and pushing the football with Felipe Luiz!
The two almost hit each other head-to-head, the ball flew towards the goal, and both fell to the ground at the same time!
A second later, in the chaotic Atletico Madrid penalty area, Courtois once again angrily fished out the football from the goal, roared and slapped the ball to the turf in front of the goal!
"Wow——!!! The ball is in!! Bounce the Earth! This is a deliberate shot that kicks out the ball!! Courtois's fall is half a beat slower again!
Leon?! It was Leon's goal!! Leon beat Felipe Luis and scored Real Madrid's second goal of the game at the back of the goal!
In just ten minutes, he was hit hard! Real Madrid are already two goals ahead! ”
After He Wei confirmed that the scorer was indeed Li Ang, his voice was completely high-pitched and excited!
Li Ang in the field got up and glanced at the goal first, and after confirming that the football had indeed crossed the line, he grinned and ran to the baseline area with his arms outstretched!
A smooth kneeling celebration, after which Li Ang made a celebratory gesture of "wearing a mask".
The handsome face with grass clippings and fine sweat is dazzling in the light!
The Real Madrid fans at the scene were already completely excited, but the few Atletico Madrid fans who were mixed with them were holding their heads and covering their faces in pain, completely unable to accept the rhythm of death when the team was taken away by a wave!
Adrian and Garcia, who had just stood on the sideline and were ready to go on the pitch to fight, looked at each other, and Simeone would sit in the dugout even more expressionlessly.
His hands were clasped tightly together at first, and after a while, he slowly let go, looking helpless.
There was jubilation on the bench at Real Madrid.
Mourinho immediately rushed out with Karanka to roar and celebrate.
And after the passion subsided a little, Mourinho gave Pintus a warm hug.
Outsiders don't know, but everyone in the Real Madrid team understands it clearly.
After owning Pintus, fight a war of attrition?
That's Real Madrid's absolute strength!
