31 The slash of Belleron
Although Juanmar Lillo has only been in Atletico for three days, presiding over two training sessions and two tactical meetings, he has already clearly articulated his football philosophy and thinking.
And Yang Hao is present every time to sit for Juanma Lillo.
This makes all the players aware of the tactical style of play that the manager wants to adopt.
Juanma Lillo has been on the pitch for the past two training sessions, and he has emphasized two words the most in training.
Location!
"It's not up to you to decide where you're on the pitch, it's up to the ball, it's up to the defenders, it's up to your team-mates."
"You can't stand still, stop and wait for your team-mates to pass the ball, but you have to run and meet your team-mates and always stay at a good distance; Escape from the opponent's zone and stay on the path where your teammates can easily pass the ball. ”
"It's not a static position, on the contrary, it's always changing from moment to moment depending on the path of the ball, according to his teammates, according to the opponent who defends it."
'But what has always changed is that we have to create an extra free player in a local area of the pitch with a variety of runs and he can take the ball unguarded.
"It's what you need to be on the pitch all the time to watch, to think, to judge, to make choices, to be 300 per cent focused at all times."
Yang Hao listened to two tactical meetings and followed two training sessions from beginning to end, and he had to admit that Juanma Lillo did have his own uniqueness in terms of tactical concepts and training players.
Especially looking at his training content, each project has a specific target, so that the players can better understand his tactical philosophy and become more familiar with the cooperation with the teammates around him.
What's more, he is able to adapt his training program to the characteristics and physical condition of different players.
It is no wonder that in Yang Hao's previous life, Guardiola went to learn from him before retiring.
When a team can keep in the local area and have one more person than the opponent, then the team will be invincible.
Of course, Juan Mar Lillo's tactics are still limited by physical fitness, and physical fitness is limited by scientific training methods, so it is still difficult to implement, especially in Atletico Madrid this season.
But Yang Hao still decided to bomb the king as soon as he started.
The opening of the game also proved that Atletico Madrid's almost desperate opening attack, especially the fast-paced attack, did make Malaga a little overwhelmed and had to retreat to defend.
The current midfield is far from being as good as it was more than a decade later.
When Atletico Madrid pressed high, the numerical advantage of 4231 in the midfield was reflected, and coupled with Atletico Madrid's overall running position, this advantage was vividly highlighted.
Therefore, Yang Hao stood on the sidelines after the opening and watched the game silently.
Goals are incalculable.
You can only wait.
……
After the opening, Joaquin Perrault's heart hung in the air.
Juanma Lillo's high pressing is difficult to deal with, and Spain is notoriously famous.
But what really surprised the Malaga coach was that the stars in Atletico Madrid's front field were willing to execute this set of tactics.
Even the thorn Hasselbaink pressed on Sans and Routerta, making it difficult for the Málaga centre-backs to even hold the ball.
With Juanma Lillo's ability, can it be done?
Joaquin Perrault couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yang Hao in front of the home team's coach's seat, and his intuition told him that all this was due to Yang Hao.
If Juanma Llillo had this ability, he would not be in the current situation.
Atletico Madrid's players are doing their best, but in the end they are not skilled enough, the players are not tacit enough to cooperate, and the pressure is not particularly great, and Malaga can still have a little respite.
But Joaquin Perma noticed a man, a very cunning man.
Belleron.
He is an extremely intelligent player who, despite not having a lot of range, is always able to run outside of the Málaga defenders to catch the ball.
The 442 formation, with only two people in the middle of the midfield, made Malaga's midfielder very passive.
In just five minutes, Bellerón had already picked up the ball twice in the unguarded area of the Malaga half and dribbled the ball to plan the attack, which made Joaquin Perrau frown.
If this guy continues to be organized and planned like this, Málaga's defense line will be broken through sooner or later.
"We have to find a way to contain Belleron." Manolo Hierro reminded.
After Joaquin Perrault thought about it, he walked to the sidelines and reminded Delos Santos, signaling him to pay attention to protecting at the front of the penalty area, to get stuck in the position, and not to leave easily.
"Both times, Belleron retreated to the open space to receive the ball, then advanced with the ball, and made short passes to find teammates to cooperate with the attack."
Joaquin Perrault's idea is simple, since I can't prevent you from retreating to get the ball, then I'll guard your pass.
……
The pace of the game was very fast.
It's just over 7 minutes, but it seems like a long, long time has passed.
Bellerón retreated to the Malaga half again, to the left of the bottom of the centre circle, in an unguarded area, to receive a pass from Baraja.
The latter had just advanced with the ball from the back, touched Ruano, who was defending him, and immediately passed the ball to Belleron.
There was no one around.
Gracefully and calmly, Belleron stops the ball, turns around and immediately pushes forward with the ball.
Rufit, who was closest to him, was the first to lunge at him, a brave and clever player who got stuck in the middle of the connection between Beleron and Solari.
Belleron first took two steps to the left and was close to Rufit, but he quickly turned to protect the ball, and a skilful circle in place just avoided Rufit, and before Ruano got close, he strode forward with the ball.
The whole process is very elegant, skillful, like flowing water, full of a classical beauty.
This also amazes the entire Calderón stadium.
Yang Hao even applauded loudly on the sidelines.
After the Cosmos team Barcelona became famous, many people thought that spinning circles was Xavi's unique skill, but it was not.
It's as if just now, this circle of Belleron is even more beautiful than Harvey's.
The Atletico midfielder ignored Ruano and Rufit, who were chasing after him, and rushed all the way to the middle of the penalty area.
Delos Santos dragged on to the end, but before he could get into his zone, Belleron suddenly dribbled diagonally to the right.
Almost at the same time, Hasselbaink, who was originally between Delos Santos and the two central defenders, suddenly raised his hand to ask for the ball and shouted, and the whole person quickly cut from the top of the arc to the left.
Hasselbaink's move immediately formed a cross-run with Belleron.
Belleron understood it immediately and was about to pass the ball to Hasselbaink, which scared Delos Santos and the central defenders of Malaga into pressing Hasselbaink.
What I didn't expect was that the Spanish forward just dangled a shot and did not pass the ball out, but took another step to the right, and the whole person quickly caught up.
Belleron's sudden move exposed a huge flaw in Malaga's defense.
When the goalkeeper realised that he had been exposed to Belleron, he decisively chose to abandon the goal and expand his defensive range, but Belleron was faster, just from the top of the arc into the penalty area, and immediately pulled a powerful right foot to the ground.
The ball flew out against the turf with great speed and drilled into the bottom left corner of the goal.
In an instant, the entire Calderón Stadium was completely boiling!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"In the 8th minute, just 8 minutes into the game, Atletico's attack worked!"
"Belleron!"
"Open the scoring for Atletico with a wonderful kick!"
"One to zero!"
"It's really a really good attack, and it's a reflection of Belleron's individual ability."
'He's not fast, but he's just able to use his rhythm, his skillful dribbling skills, all kinds of feints to confuse opponents, create gaps, create opportunities for himself and his teammates.
When the audience burst into thunderous cheers, Yang Hao, who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, jumped up.
"Well done, Juan!"
Yang Hao shouted excitedly.
It was a crucial goal.
Atletico scrambled for eight minutes and created a number of attacking chances, but only converted into two shots, including Belleron's third and a goal.
It was enough to let everyone at Atletico breathe a sigh of relief.
After scoring the goal, Belleron also ran all the way to the sidelines, waved excitedly to the fans in the stands, and turned to celebrate with his teammates who were rushing over.
The whole stadium was chanting Belleron's name.
In front of the coach's seat of the home team, Yang Hao was also surrounded by Juanma Lillo, Mendiodo, Pedro Harrow and others who rushed out, all celebrating excitedly.
It was a very crucial goal!
Belleron celebrated with his teammates on the sidelines and interacted with the fans.
In recent times, he has felt the enthusiasm and support from the Atletico fans, and he is really happy.
On the way back to the court, he also ran to the sidelines.
Yang Hao was hugging his assistants, and when he saw Beleron running over, he greeted him with a smile.
"Well done, Juan, keep up the good work!"
"Thank you, Boss!" After high-fived Yang Hao, Belleron hugged him, turned around and ran back to the court.
"We saw that Belleron went to the sidelines and gave him a high-five and a hug to his manager."
"This also shows that the Spanish forward has recognized the young new coach, and Yang Hao has obviously been accepted by the dressing room of Atletico Madrid."
"It's really, really surprising, Yang Hao is now the youngest manager in the history of the Spanish Primera League, and interestingly, he broke the all-time record set by his current assistant, Juanma Lillo."
'Atletico started the night very well, scoring a goal and taking the lead.
'But there's still a long way to go, so we'll see how Malaga responds next.'
"And Atletico, how are they going to play after taking the lead?"
