After winning the opening match of the Bundesliga, the whole Bayern team flew to Estonia, the "garden city" on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea.

The UEFA Super Cup final will be held here in three days' time.

Their opponents are Atletico Madrid, winners of last season's UEFA Cup.

Atletico are an opponent that many teams don't like because their defense is too annoying.

Simeone's players are not bad at their feet, but their abandonment of wide play is a headache for many teams.

With a tenacious defence, Atletico Madrid finished second in the league last season, beating rivals Real Madrid.

He also won the Europa League final against Marseille and won the title.

Simeone's civilian team is on the verge of winning more honors step by step.

The rules of the UEFA Super Cup have been changed.

The squad for the final round has been expanded from 18 to 23 players.

If both sides go to extra time, one more player can be added.

This is just an attempt at the new rules, which will be rolled out to football leagues around the world in the near future.

Immediately after arriving in Estonia, the entire Bayern squad went through a training session.

In the Champions League group stage of Rossi's first season with Bayern, the two teams were in the same group.

At that time, Simeone's team caused a lot of trouble for Bayern.

In the end, it was with Rossi's brace that reversed Atletico Madrid away from home and retreated.

It was this victory that established Rossi's position as the team's starter.

This time in Estonia, both teams need to adapt to the venue.

Whoever can get into the groove quickly will be able to take the initiative in the game.

So in the training session, An Fat is more about letting the players adjust their mentality.

Also, how to crack Atletico's defense.

The Super Cup has benefited the most for defensive teams after the squad size and the number of substitutes have increased.

Atletico have the fortitude and fighting spirit to engage their opponents for 120 minutes.

Bayern are not afraid of extra time, but Carlo Ancelotti prefers to settle the battle in regular time.

When it comes to extra time, there are just too many factors that cannot be controlled.

The 15,000-seat Alkirk Arena does not have the same oppressive atmosphere as the two teams' home stadiums, but the enthusiasm of the fans has not diminished in the slightest.

When the two teams, led by referee Marciniak, stepped onto the pitch, the whole stadium suddenly resounded with enthusiastic cheers.

A UEFA Super Cup event is a carnival of sporting events for a small country like Estonia.

Estonian female President Kosdy Karulede personally came to the stadium to watch the game.

After a brief handshake off the pitch, Carlo Ancelotti and Simeone returned to their respective command areas to wait for the game to begin.

Noyer won in the middle circle and Bayern attacked first.

When the Bayern captain returned to half-time, he gathered all the players and formed a circle.

"This is our fifth title of the year and we will return to Munich with glory."

“miasanmia!”

As Noyer shouted the slogan, everyone's hands were folded together, and after shouting the slogan three times, they pressed down hard, and then dispersed and came to their own position.

Bayern start.

Goalkeeper Noyer.

Back line: Alaba, Hummels, Jule, Kimmich.

Defenders Vidal, Thiago.

Midfielders Rossi, Muller, Koeman.

Center forward Vandowski.

Atletico start.

Goalkeeper Oblak.

Backline: Lucas Hernandez, Godin, Savic, Juanfrán.

Midfielders Lemar, Saul, Rodri Hernandez, Koke.

Strikers: Diego Costa, Antoine Griezmann.

Modern football is changing with each passing day, and various tactics are emerging one after another, but Simeone is not a very trendy manager, he does not like to press the defense from the high position, preferring to build a defensive line in the half and use the layers to block the opponent's attack.

Especially in the era when wingers are king, when any team is extremely concerned about the pressure of the ribs, Simeone still prefers a 4-4-2 formation with insufficient depth.

Because the offensive and defensive balance brought by the 4-4-2 formation is more suitable for a civilian team like Atletico Madrid.

After the kick-off, Atletico's central midfield defence was clearly in a parallel position, with the two men in the front line pressing near the centre circle.

The purpose of this pressing is not to break the ball, but to drive Bayern's attack to the side.

As soon as the ball is passed to the wing, Atletico will immediately block the space on the wing.

Antoine Griezmann also dropped back quickly into midfield to get involved in defence.

This has the advantage of increasing the number of defenders in midfield to limit the opponent's lateral movement of the ball.

In addition, once the ball is broken, it can be handed to Griezmann and used his speed to advance with the ball.

The return of Diego Costa gives Atletico a heavy battering ram up front.

With his help, Griezmann's position is more flexible.

In the opening five minutes, Bayern tried to push forward and look for opportunities in the ribs.

However, Atletico's defensive formation is very consistent, and once the ball reaches the core area, they are immediately surrounded by them.

In the configuration of the midfielders, the technical defender Rodri dragged the back to organize, and there were Koke and Ursa who were both offensive and defensive to escort him, making the midfield defense stable enough.

Left wing-back Lemar, on the other hand, will return to his own half when defending, and if there is a counter-attacking opportunity, he will be Atletico's third point of attack after Costa and Antoine Griezmann.

Ancelotti silently shook his head by observing the opponent's position and playing style in the first five minutes.

Atletico Madrid's style of play today is much more conservative than it was two years ago.

The midfield defence is too far back, like Atletico's second back line.

With a large number of people piled up in the penalty area, Bayern formed crosses on the wing, and they were also cleared by Atletico Madrid.

In the 7th minute, after Rossi won the ball on the left side, Juanfran immediately stepped forward to defend.

The shirt, which came through Real Madrid's academy, has developed into the team's main right-back since arriving at Atletico Madrid, playing an important role defensively.

Juanfran didn't dare to underestimate Rossi in front of him, but he used a stunning bulltail to beat half of the Hoffenheim defense in the Bundesliga last weekend.

Davide was a little excited off the field.

He's looking forward to Rossi's clash with Juanfran.

However, Rossi did not intend to force a breakthrough, but instead returned the ball to Alaba, pointed to the right, and motioned for him to pass to the weak side.

With Atletico's defence concentrated on the left, the entire defensive formation will be tilted towards the left, with their left-back Lucas usually settling for space around the flanks.

If Bayern can quickly hit the ball to the right, then the whole defensive pressure will be on him.

Bang!

Knowing Rossi's intentions, Alaba sent a long diagonal pass to Kimmich on the right.

This is also the tactic arranged by An Pang before the game, using long passes to constantly mobilize Atletico's defense.

Atletico's defense also quickly shifted to the weak side, with Lucas sticking to Koeman, who was ready to cut forward.

If Bayern choose to go straight forward, Coman will form a 1-1 on the flanks and then cross from the bottom.

But in this way, Atletico's defense is also in place.

There is only one high point in the middle, and it is difficult to break through Atletico's defense.

Therefore, Kimmich did not take advantage of the deep space, but directly crossed with his feet and hit the ball into the area behind the Atletico defence.

Lai Wan slanted into the penalty area and competed for the landing point.

Along with him, there was Godin.

The two pushed each other in the penalty area, both with hand movements.

Under mutual interference, they couldn't jump up and compete for this high point.

The ball hits the ground in the box and rolls towards the back post.

This leak in the middle caused Juanfran at the back point to be bobbed by the two of them, did not make a clearance move, and let the ball fly over his head.

At this time, Rossi ghostly appeared at the landing point, and after gently clicking the ball down with his chest, he shot angrily with his right foot.

Juanfran gasped and threw his body out as he turned, stretched his neck, and blocked Rossi's shot with his face.

From a muffled sound coming from the scene, you can know how much pain Juanflan has.

Rossi was also taken aback, he didn't expect the opponent's defense to be so desperate, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check, and raised his hand to signal to the referee that he might have to apply for the team doctor to enter.

Just a few minutes into the game, it was suspended due to an injury to a player.

Bayern's fighting spirit and Atletico Madrid's tenacity indicate that this Super Cup match will be quite difficult.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
