Chapter 384: A ghostly and elegant killer

After Atletico's team doctor arrived, he quickly treated Juanfran and the game was suspended.

Simeone, a bandit in a suit, called Cork to his side and told him to pay attention to the defensive coverage on the weak side.

There is no optimal solution to football tactics.

Since Atletico Madrid is going to block the wing in this game, there will definitely be gaps on the weak side.

Although Bayern's attack just now was in the middle, it was obvious that the weak side of Rossi appeared in the unmarked area.

This is a very red flag.

After a brief handling, Juanfran continued to play.

Bayern corner.

Atletico Madrid had a number of defensive high-posters in the box, and Bayern couldn't bargain at all, and the ball was cleared.

The landing was controlled by Vidal from just outside the box, but Atletico's defence quickly pressed on him.

Vidal quickly split the ball to the wing, which played into Atletico's trap.

Cork opened his legs and immediately lunged at Rossi, who received the ball, and the other players also moved quickly to form a circle.

Atletico's defence was close to each other and worked closely together, with very little space between players, and blindly dribbling only increased the risk of being cut off and Rossi was forced to pass back.

In this pass, Griezmann and Costa also pressed in the direction of the pass, causing Bayern to have to pass back to their own half.

[Very tight defense! 】

[Even if Bayern grabs two penalties, there is still no way to create a threat! ] 】

[Players strictly execute tactics, serve the whole team, and make the defense line closely linked!] 】

[How many years have passed, Simeone still insists on his maverick style! 】

[This may also be the reason why Atletico Madrid has given many giants a headache over the years! ] 】

Bayern's strong attacking ability is obvious to all, and if Atletico Madrid wants to win or lose a single game, they must first defend well.

As long as the opponent's attack does not go past half the pitch, the Atletico players can let you pass the ball in front of them at will.

Bayern spotted gaps in Atletico's defence in the wide range of players who had just moved the ball to the ground.

Put it to good use, and you can break through Atletico's impregnable defense.

In the 10th minute, Coman and Thiago suddenly got up and passed the ball to the weak side after constantly passing the ball together on the wing.

Atletico seem to have seen through Bayern's tactics.

After seeing Thiago's intention to pass the ball, Juanfran took another look at Rossi's intention to take the initiative to approach, so he stepped forward to block the area in advance.

Even if you can't catch the ball, you can interfere with the stoppage.

This time, Thiago's pass was too powerful and the ball was in the air for too long, with Juanfran having enough time to block and head the ball over to Coke.

When Cork attacked with the ball, central midfielder Saul stepped forward and formed a three-forward position with two forwards.

Of the three, Costa was responsible for the blasting in the middle, Saul was in the back, and Griezmann was more flexible in his position.

Behind the trio, Lemar and Rodri form a central protection.

It can not only increase the echelon attack point and the side pass receiving point, but also enhance the on-the-spot counter-attack after losing the ball in the middle of the midfield, and stifle the opponent's counterattack.

Offensive and defensive integrity is the most distinctive feature of Atletico.

Juanfran cut in a cross and after Hummels cleared the ball in front of goal, the second penalty was controlled by Thiago.

He was about to pass the ball to the wing, but Saul scrambled and knocked him to the ground.

A rough foul ushered in the dissatisfaction of Bayern players.

Vidal rushed forward immediately, staring at the other party with his head.

After the referee pulled the two apart, he called Saul to his side and reminded him to pay attention to his defensive movements.

With a pitiful expression, Saru patted Thiago and offered to show his affection.

The referee did not play the card, which made Thiago a little dissatisfied, shook off the opponent's hand, and refused to apologize.

Saul was happy to do the same, and after making a helpless expression, he ran back to his own half to defend.

Bayern's counterattack was contained.

This is also a characteristic of Atletico's defense, using fouls and scrambling to interrupt the attacker's counter-attack and fragment the rhythm of the game.

This style of play is very effective for teams that like to pass and control.

Back in the game, Atletico's defence was still deep and basically gave up its width.

Coman can even dribble the ball on the flanks and near the big box.

Full-back Lucas will not be out to grab without absolute certainty.

Koeman saw that Atletico Madrid's penalty area was full of people, and there was no space for crosses and breakthroughs at all, and the inverted triangle was returned.

Vidal met the ball and fired a furious shot at the body of the Atletico player in the box and bounced off.

Uncomfortable!

The two words written on the faces of Bayern players also appear on their coaching benches.

The high-density and high-system defense makes people don't know how to attack.

The compression and tearing of the space made them extremely uncomfortable.

The second penalty from the edge of the area was snatched by Antoine Griezmann and was about to advance with the ball when Thiago slid sideways and cut the ball away.

But after possession, Thiago stopped where he was, watching the defence and not knowing how to organise the attack.

Rossi quickly moved towards his ribs and reached for the ball.

Thiago crosses and looks to see if Rossi shoots from distance or into the wing.

But Rossi didn't plan to attack, but walked back with the ball, and Atletico's defence began to move forward.

"Luo is smart!" Carlo Ancelotti was overjoyed and said: "He knows that with such a dense defense, the attack will not be effective at all. Pull the defense out and we have a chance. ”

Against a team like Atletico, if they press the defence with passing, they will only retreat into the box and have no space to shoot at all.

Only by pulling them out of formation can they find space to attack.

This is a process that requires a lot of patience.

In August, Estonia is influenced by the oceanic climate, with mild and pleasant temperatures.

But at the moment, the stadium is extremely annoyingly dull.

The boring game made the fans unable to arouse the slightest interest.

Bayern just kept passing the ball back and forth on the perimeter.

As for Atletico, the formation is also moving in the direction of the ball.

Occasionally, there were one or two attacks, passed from the wing to goal, which were cleared by Atletico.

Atletico, on the other hand, only had two shots on goal.

Bayern goalkeeper Noyer has become the most idle person in the field.

The first half ended in a dull one, with both teams combined for just five shots on goal and just one on target.

Back in the dressing room, the Bayern players started complaining.

"What the hell is this kick, as soon as we get the ball, they go straight to the foot, is this going to fight?"

"The referee is also blind, only gives a yellow card, and many balls can be given cards."

"In my opinion, we have to move more in the second half to let them know that they know how good they are."

Seeing that the players were a little impulsive, An Fat entered the locker room and said loudly: "Davide, notify the team doctor and ask them to send more people and prepare more stretchers." ”

The team members are blindfolded!

"If asked, tell them that we're not going to fight!"

After the words, there was a burst of laughter in the dressing room, and the anger of the players was also relieved.

Carlo Ancelotti set up the formation and said: "If it's going to fight, I'm sure our medical team will get you back from injury before the next game." ”

"This time we are going to win the championship and they can't do anything about it, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here."

Noyer, as the captain, immediately sided with Ancelotti.

"Sir, tell me, how are we going to kick?"

Ahn Fat smiled because he saw the desire to win in the eyes of the players.

"Although Atletico's defensive formation is outdated, Simeone has been able to use this outdated tactic to repeatedly defeat strong opponents because of his successful transformation of the players."

"The four midfielders can all go up or down, and they can be on the side, which provides a stable midfield."

'There are also two full-backs, because of the need for formation, they have to be very strong defensively, one defense and one is definitely in the top 10 in the world, and we can't play on the wing, that's why.

Koeman was a little unconvinced, in the first half he frequently sought breakthroughs on the wings, and the opposing defenders defended solidly, but it was a bit unworthy to say that he wanted to break into the top 10.

"Then why can't you rush in!"

Muller's joke embarrassed Koeman.

Rossi hurriedly played the round and said, "What Mr. said is that they are just strong in defense. In order to ensure the integrity of the formation, they rarely cut forward. ”

The teammates cast different glances, and after thinking about it, they felt that there was some truth.

An Pang smiled: "Luo said it very appropriately. Simeone is very strict with his players, and his usual training is also to strengthen the ability of the players to improve their responsibilities. ”

"It is precisely because of this that Atletico Madrid can occupy a place in the world of La Liga. The Champions League also came close to reaching the top. ”

In this regard, An Fat has the absolute right to speak.

At that time, he led Real Madrid to a 1-0 deficit in regulation time, and it was not until the second minute of stoppage time that Ramos equalized with a header to create a magical 9248 miracle.

The player listened to it for so long, but he still didn't understand the purpose of what An Pang said.

After An Pang laid out the formation on the tactical board, he circled the space in the Atletico penalty area and tapped it with the end of his pen.

"This is the area where you attacked in the second half."

"Atletico defensively are dense but don't always fall back into the box. You're going to draw them out of the line and get the ball to the area. ”

Thiago raised his hand and said: "Sir, Atletico Madrid is different from other teams, they are very aggressive in interception, we have a hard time passing the ball in the middle. ”

Ancelotti pointed to the middle area and said: "The opponent has concentrated all the people here, and it is very difficult to break through. Therefore, our attack must be on the wing. ”

The shift from the strong side to the weak side is a way to break down Atletico's dense defense.

But you need players with strong long passes.

As soon as the speed is slowed down by half a second, the opponent's defense immediately covers the area.

'In the second half, the full-backs have to be aggressive and attract more defence on the strong side. Once we get over, we can storm the opposition's defence. ”

It's a tactic that everyone understands, but it's also risky.

When the full-backs press, the defense on their flanks becomes very brittle.

Atletico have Griezmann as an assault master.

If the full-backs go up again, the defence will be very brittle.

An Fat said: "I know what you are worried about. But if we don't threaten Atletico on the wings and mobilize our defense, we won't be able to attack. ”

"Atletico's full-backs are stronger than attacking, so as long as we are fast enough to defend, they can't threaten us."

'That's why I said at the beginning that their full-backs were in the top 10 defensively, but they were never noticed by the big clubs.

Modern football games require more functionality from players, with a single ability, and a lower ceiling for future achievements.

Atletico Madrid's outstanding performances over the years cannot be ignored by other giants.

Both defender Felipe and striker Costa were unable to adapt to the new environment after logging into the Premier League and were returned to Atletico Madrid.

After returning to his old club, he was rejuvenated.

Fans dubbed this situation as "Atletico only sells players and doesn't give instructions for use".

In fact, it's not that they can't do it, but that a single ability can't get a foothold in a wealthy family.

A new tactic will be eliminated immediately after a season or two.

And Simeone was able to hold out for so many years.

The characteristics of the players who have built around the system have gradually become players in the system, and it is difficult to adapt to the new style of play.

Simeone's conservative stubbornness, while bringing results to Atletico Madrid, also limits the player's own development.

This situation abounds in other teams.

In the case of Borussia Dortmund, there are many examples.

The half-time break passed quickly and the two teams walked back to the pitch to prepare for the second half.

Atletico kicked off and the Bayern players quickly pressed forward.

At half-time, Carlo Ancelotti mentioned to his players that the Atletico players are not bad at their feet, but they lack a true midfield master.

So when oppressing, you must be careful about their escape breakthroughs, and don't think that they will only rush.

Rossi's "oppressive" attribute is once again on display.

Under his pressure, the Atletico players quickly panicked.

Godin kicked the ball over Costa's head in front of him, hoping he could keep it under control.

Vidal immediately stepped forward to steal, and the small action interfered.

Against a strong player like Costa, you just can't give him a comfortable ball.

Shengshi's beauty does not contain a lake, while staring at the ball, he and his opponent came to Tai Chi Yun.

Costa struggled to stop the ball, knocked it back and quickly turned and stepped forward.

Vidal tugged and dragged and constantly interfered with Costa.

In a fit of rage, Costa slammed a backhand into Vidal's face to shake off the entanglement.

And Vidal screamed, covered his face and fell to the ground.

Drip!

The referee blows the whistle.

Costa angrily yells at Vidal, mocking him for pretending to be a and faking a fall.

Vidal, who was on the turf, got up and fixed his eyes on Costa.

The conflict between the two turned from verbal to hands-on.

The players on both sides quickly pulled away from the two, but the two who vowed not to give up struggled to break free from their teammates, rolled up their sleeves and were about to fight.

Fortunately, the referee appeared in time to stop the conflict between the two, and then each made up a yellow card, which stopped the conflict from escalating.

Atletico don't care how long the game is suspended, they just have to fight for their interests under reasonable rules.

The soldiers brought out by the suit bandit Simone are all thorns, and they are all masters who are not easy to mess with.

Atletico Madrid takes a set-piece in front of the field, and Griezmann takes the penalty.

In the first half, he didn't have many chances.

One is that most of the ball is in the hands of Bayern, and there are not many attacks that can be organized.

The second is that the Bayern defense retracts quickly, and in positional battles, he is not as effective as Costa.

After the grid runs, he shoots directly with his feet.

The ball arced slightly higher and flew over the crossbar.

Although it is a pity, it is good to get a shot on goal.

Bayern kicked off and continued to press towards the Atletico defence.

After the tactical adjustment in the midfield, when Bayern attacked on the right flank, Kimmich would step forward and form a wide press with Koeman.

In this way, Atletico's defense has to move closer to the side with the ball.

Koeman was in no hurry to break through, and Atletico's defensive line retreated deeper at this time.

After distributing the ball to Kimmich, he stepped forward to create the illusion of a bottom break.

Lucas was attracted by his running and in order to make up for the space in the ribs, Atletico's overall defence continued to lean.

But they only pay attention to the lateral movement, but forget about the longitudinal forward pressure.

Kimmich picked up the ball in the middle of the right half with no Atletico players coming forward.

This space gave him time to observe the defense and catch Rossi on the weak side.

Like Thiago, after spotting Rossi, he picked up the ball to the back of the penalty area as if he had opened his vision.

Juanfran turned back to defend and was taken aback when he saw Rossi in front of him.

When did he appear here?

When Kimmich was on the move, he made a point of observing Rossi's position and noticed that he was walking out.

But when the ball arrived, he didn't appear in the box.

His mind went blank, thinking only about how to remedy his mistakes.

But Rossi didn't have any reaction time for him and the goalkeeper.

Stop the ball with your left foot and follow up with your right foot.

This time, there was nothing Juan Fran could do.

As the ball splashed in the net, the long-dormant court finally boiled!

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