27 Difficult Malaga

"Kick Malaga, what do you think?"

Yang Hao directly put his biggest problem in front of Juanma Lillo.

Parrales went out to make coffee for the two of them and did the logistics work.

Although the two only met in the morning, they hit it off at first sight and talked happily, and Yang Hao urgently needs someone to discuss now, plus he recognized Juanma Lillo's ability in his previous life, so he has no reservations.

In Juanma Lillo's view, this is more of a trust.

All head coaches, including Lillo himself, tend to use acquaintances when looking for assistant coaches.

This is the experience that has been summed up by countless people, and it is not necessary to use it to be raw.

Even if you have to use a stranger, it will take a while to get used to it.

Like Yang Hao, he came directly without reservation, even if Juanma Lillo knew that Yang Hao was employed, there was still a feeling of being trusted in his heart.

People always like to be trusted, needed, and relied on.

But Lillo hid all his thoughts and thoughts in his heart, and remained silent on the surface.

"Malaga is a special team, you say he's weak, it doesn't seem to be weak, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia and even Deportivo La Coruna have suffered from them this season, and there have been classic battles against teams such as Real Betis and Real Orvieto by three or four goals."

"But you have to say he's strong, he doesn't seem to be strong, 2-4 to Valladolid, 4-1 to Rayo Vallecano, 0-1 at home to Alaves, none of these games look very good. ”

"How so?"

At the end of the day, Lillo was a little stumped.

"Against the top teams, they all have the strength to fight, and they are also very tenacious, against these teams before and after the relegation zone in the lower reaches, they can show strong and resolutely attack, but only against these teams at the bottom of the standings......"

When Yang Hao heard this, he took over with a smile and said: "It should be said that they often play very difficult against teams with good defensive ability, especially after conceding the ball first, and rarely turn the tables. ”

When Lillo heard this, he immediately frowned, "In my impression, it seems that there is really no one who is behind and has turned the tables, the best game should be the away game against Real Orvieto, two behind, two equalisers, and then ......"

"The other thing is that after they took the lead, they were reversed very few times, only once for Deportivo La Coruna."

Deportivo La Coruna's attacking power is undeniable, and they are currently the second most scored team in La Liga after Barcelona.

But keep in mind that Barcelona have superstars like Rivaldo, Kluivert and Figo.

Suffice it to say that being reversed by Deportivo La Coruna, Málaga should not be ashamed at all.

"When you say that, I think that this team is really behind and facing a team with excellent defensive ability, which is quite a loss, because what they are best at is counterattacking, whether it is Catania or Dario Silva, the biggest threat is in the rapid counterattack."

The important reason why Real Oviedo was equalised was that their defense was similar to that of Atletico Madrid, and maybe even worse than Atletico, which is very problematic.

And at this moment, he basically guessed what Yang Hao meant.

"Are you trying to attack, create a goal, and then go on the counter-attack and force Malaga to press?"

Yang Hao nodded, "That's right, when they are forced to give up the counterattack and take the initiative, our most threatening offensive opportunity comes, isn't it?" ”

When he said this, the first player that came to Yang Hao's mind was Torres.

He is still in the youth team, Yang Hao wanted to transfer him last time, but he was not there, so the matter was put aside for the time being.

Torres is best at frontal impact defense, and in this regard, it is estimated that it is difficult for any defender in the world to stop him, but after the injury, his speed and explosiveness have obviously dropped a lot.

Losing his speed and explosiveness, the shortcomings of his original lack of technical delicacy were exposed.

From Liverpool to Chelsea, he made another very wrong choice, because Chelsea needed a centre-forward of the type of Didier Drogba who could take on the ball in midfield.

But what about Torres?

What he needs is for his team-mates around him to create opportunities for him to hit head-on.

One can imagine how embarrassing Torres' move to Chelsea would be.

Now, there is still Hasselbaink in the first team, and Torres is not needed for the time being.

"You're a good idea, but it's a bit risky." Lillo reminded.

"It's normal, with our current situation, it's definitely impossible not to take some risks."

The simplest thing is that Málaga also knows the current situation of Atletico, will they adopt a solid counter-attacking tactic at the Calderón Stadium?

It is very possible.

Because Atletico Madrid had just beaten Barcelona 4-1.

Lillo understood what Yang Hao meant, but he still had to continue to ask his own question, that is, Atletico's ability to run in the front court.

He's good at 4231 and he's good at high pressing, so he knows very well that what high pressing needs most is running.

"Atletico's ability to run up front now, to be honest, can't support such a tactic."

Llillo said it very politely, because it is true.

On the football field, the most important thing for a player is not physical, not technical, not famous, but physical.

Without physical fitness, you are not qualified to say anything.

But what is the situation of Atletico today?

Solari is better, Hasselbaink is not active in defense, Belleron is slow and technical, the defense itself is not good at it, and the range of movement is not large, Aguilera is older, and he is fighting continuously.

In this case, if you want to rely on this group of players to play in the high position, there is nothing wrong with your brain, right?

What Lillo listed, Yang Hao knew very well in his heart.

He has always said that Belleron is not actually suitable for him, because the classic No.10 midfielder is far from his tactical requirements, and Yang Hao wants a modern midfielder and midfielder.

But now, Yang Hao has no choice.

"As you said, Joaquin Perrault knows that we are aiming for relegation and that we will definitely want to win at home, so he is likely to play a counter-attacking strategy and just wait for us to press out."

Juanma Lillo spread his hands, nodded and said, "If it were me, I would definitely do it!" ”

"But that's why we need to go first." Yang Hao said very firmly.

After hearing this, Juanma Lilho couldn't help but ponder Yang Hao's meaning carefully.

Four of the six league games must be won, and Malaga is a difficult opponent, but which of the other five teams is not difficult?

If Malaga can't be won at home, the morale accumulated by Atletico Madrid's big defeat of Barcelona will also dissipate again.

This is the big picture!

Judging from the specific details, if Atletico Madrid wants to get a victory, they must score, then they have to press out sooner or later, and it is better to press out early than later.

At the very least, the initiative of the game is in their own hands.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but begin to understand Yang Hao's choice.

This also made his understanding of Yang Hao go further and deeper.

He is not very old, but he sees the problem very clearly and thoroughly, and goes straight to the core.

"Think of a way, I'll give you two training sessions, try to play high pressing, even if it's just a start, a goal."

After grabbing the goal, Yang Hao had to decide according to the situation on the court whether to retreat immediately and stabilize the situation, or win the opponent in one breath and strive to score another goal.

The game is changing rapidly, and now you have to be multi-handed.

'Two training sessions are a bit intense and the players don't necessarily do well. Juanma Llho said with embarrassment.

Yang Hao didn't say anything, but looked at him directly, as if to say: You must have a way, use your head and think about it!

Juanma Lillo felt Yang Hao's eyes, and smiled helplessly, "I found out that I really got on your thief ship, and this salary is not easy to get!" ”

"After the team is relegated, you have a big bonus." Yang Hao knew that he agreed, and laughed along.

Relegation?

Easier said than done.

But since Lieho took over the job and had a good conversation with Yang Hao, and now he has been trusted by Yang Hao and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, there is no reason not to rack his brains for him.

"It's still recovery training in the afternoon, right?"

Yang Hao nodded.

In general, recovery training requires at least two training sessions.

The next step is to adjust.

Yang Hao has discussed with the coaching staff before that he should be able to spare two training sessions for Juanma Lillo to train.

But time is very, very tight, and it's a race against time.

"Okay, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll give me two afternoon training sessions, I'll figure it out, and I may have to take some time out to explain to the players the details and points of pressing and the tactical goals that the team wants to achieve."

"Yes, I'll arrange it." Yang Hao agreed very happily.

Juanma Lillo thought for a moment and then said: "As for me, it's not difficult to arrange some targeted training, but the most important thing is that you need to be able to convince the players, whether it's on the training ground or in the game, you need their cooperation, especially the thorn and Bellerón. ”

Needless to say, Hasselbaink and Belleron's defensive will is not strong.

"The whole organisation and the attack of our team revolves around Bellerón, that's the same." Yang Hao reminded.

This is also the team's big strategy.

'It's natural, he played really well against Barcelona.

"That's fine, players, I'll do it for you."

If it was three days ago, Yang Hao would definitely not dare to give such a firm answer, but now, he dared.

……

Juanma Lillo belongs to the kind of personality that does what he says.

Since he promised Yang Hao, then he had to prepare it immediately, and he couldn't even drink coffee.

The same is true for Yang Hao, after seeing Parales come in with a cup of coffee in one hand, he immediately asked him to call Belleron over, and he had to communicate everything with the players as soon as possible.

Time is running out for Atletico.

Against Malaga, Atletico must win no matter what.

Only in this way will the team have a chance to survive relegation.
