When Baraja decided to stay, he really didn't expect Atletico to have such quality this season.

Whether it is a warm-up match or a daily training session, although he can feel the strength of the team improving, he can face Deportivo La Coruna so embarrassed to suppress the defending champions, which he can't even imagine.

He believes that the same is true for the players in the team.

Before the game, each of them was still cautious, for fear of accidentally making a mistake.

But when it came to the game, after playing for a while, they gradually realized that the defending champions didn't seem to be as strong as they thought.

So, gradually, Atletico began to play their own tactics.

One phenomenon that best reflects the change in the mentality of Atletico's players is that at half-time, when the players are lining up to play, Gravisen pulls Baraja aside.

"Later, in the competition, if you have the opportunity, you can boldly go up, and I am behind you!"

Barraha was a little stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the Danish strong man, and found that he was serious, obviously not joking, and a sense of pride suddenly arose in his heart.

In the second half, especially after withstanding the first wave of Deportivo La Coruna's attack, Atletico began to press forward again.

Gravison kept motioning for Baraja to press up and support the midfield.

When the game reached the 58th minute, Baraja saw the opportunity and boldly stepped forward.

Joaquín couldn't break down the right side of the pitch and passed the ball back to the feet of Baraha in the gap.

The Spanish midfielder stopped with his right foot, looked ahead, and saw that Deportivo LaCoruna's defensive position was already in place, leaning towards the right side.

Deco and Joaquin are on this side.

Transfer! Pull!

Baraha had in mind what Yang Hao had emphasized at halftime, and he immediately turned sideways and looked to the left.

Sure enough, it's empty!

Baraja doesn't really play long balls very often, he prefers to play safe balls under 20 meters.

But this time, he saw an opportunity and played a direct mid-length pass that moved the ball from the right rib area to the left touchline.

Patrice Evra stepped forward, chased the ball to the spot, and stopped it steadily, but Victor Sanchez, who had returned in time, had already returned to position, forcing the French winger to turn around and protect the ball with his back to the attack.

Just when everyone thought that Patrice Evra had lost his attacking opportunity and had to be forced to pass back, and Graveson was already about to run to the gap to receive the ball, the Frenchman stumbled and suddenly turned around.

Victor Sanchez was like a stake, and he was directly bypassed by Evra.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard.

Especially after Evra bypassed Victor Sanchez, he cut inside diagonally, and immediately attracted Dejaminha and Mauro Silva, plus Victor Sanchez, who was chasing behind him, there were three players around him at one time.

The Frenchman was very skillful with the ball, grabbed the ball before the triangle bag was formed, suddenly passed the ball diagonally back, and continued to rush forward, constantly muttering: I am a striker! I'm a striker!

After Gravison was taken away by Patrice Evra, a direct passage to striker Pandiani was revealed in front of him, and he immediately seized the opportunity and played a direct ball to the top of the penalty area.

Pandiani had his back to the goal, with both of Deportivo La Coruna's centre-backs behind him, but when he stepped back to stop the ball, he stopped a little too wide to get the ball under control in time.

"Here!"

Deco was in a very good position at the crucial moment.

Pandiani caught up and passed the ball over.

Deco stopped the ball to the left, avoided Jokanovic and sent in a diagonal cross.

The ball was passed to the left side of the front of the penalty area, and it also gave Evra enough advance to allow the Frenchman to sprint up, and then slid the ball into the penalty area, and at the same time used the inertia and speed advantage of the sprint to rush past the blocked Donato.

Donato's reaction was not unpleasant, but the age was there, and the speed really couldn't keep up with Evra, even if he turned around and stuck to it at the first time, he was still half a position away from Evra.

And in the big forbidden area, half the body is fatal.

Patrice Evra caught up with the ball in the left corner of the six-yard box and fired a low left-footed shot into a straight line to the right side of the goal, crashing into the inside of the side-netting and stopping on the line of Deportivo La Coruna.

3 to 0!

The entire Calderón stadium was boiling in an instant.

More than 50,000 Atletico fans were screaming wildly.

After Patrice Evra scored, he turned and ran back as soon as he could, ignoring anyone who stopped him along the way, and kept running, running straight to the front of the home team's dugout on the sidelines, standing straight in front of Juanma Lillo.

"I'm a striker!"

Yang Hao was standing in the coach's command area, and when he saw the embarrassment on Juanma Lillo's face, he almost burst out laughing in his heart.

Evra's thorn really deserves his name, and he can toss so much at the age of 19.

But don't really say it, that goal just now was really beautiful.

This kid is really crazy!

……

In the 65th minute, Irueta made a substitution, bringing on Tristan for Mackay.

The Dutchman tonight, under the joint "care" of Lucio and Pochettino, did not get any chances, and his best score could not be played.

Yang Hao then replaced Vicente with Reyes.

After the warm-up match and the observation of training on weekdays, Yang Hao has a deeper understanding of Vicente.

The Spanish winger actually has a big limitation, that is, he is better at getting down the bottom of the cross, allowing him to go diagonally, he is not used to it, so when Evra stepped forward just now, Vicente was still on the wing.

Of course, this is also normal, and Joaquin also likes to go down the side on the right side.

This is a characteristic of the traditional Spanish winger.

On the contrary, Reyes, if you go diagonally, he is better than Vicente.

Yang Hao is now replaced by Reyes, in fact, he also wants to further investigate the players.

Deportivo La Coruna is a rare opponent, especially in a game like the Super Cup, where it's a rare opportunity to try out their players when they're 3-0 up.

"Did you find it? Baraha actually still has to be released, this kid is playing football steadily, too honest. Yang Hao said.

Juanma Lillo was angry with Evra just now, knowing that it was Yang Hao's ghost, and he still had a little resentment in his heart.

But since it was a serious discussion, he could only answer.

"Isn't it good to be honest?"

I'm just too honest to be calculated by you.

Yang Hao knew it, and said with a smile: "It can't be said that it is bad, each has its own benefits, it depends on how to use it." ”

Honest people play football steadily, not good at flexibility, but not easy to stab Lou Zi; Players who are a bit of a chicken thief know how to improvise, but sometimes it's easy to be clever and mess up.

"The analysis report of the laboratory said that Baraha's stable passing range is 20 meters, he is not tall, although the speed is not fast, but the explosiveness is very good, the first pounce is very threatening, the judgment is very stable, and it is not suitable to drag it to the end."

"Graveson is an atypical Nordic player, fierce defensively, fierce to look at, in fact he has a solid technique, he is even better at organising and combing than Baraja, but he is slow, he is slow to explosive, and he is not flexible enough."

Yang Hao nodded, agreeing with Lillo's analysis.

Gravison is like a tough guy with a technical stream, but he is still a Nordic tough guy at heart, with a fierce style and excellent power matchup, but then with that comes flexibility, speed and explosiveness.

This is actually a consistent characteristic of Nordic players.

During his time at Hamburg in the Bundesliga, he even played a libero role at the back.

How so?

Graveson belongs to the type of midfield that the Premier League likes very much, but his technical and organizational skills can only be regarded as okay in La Liga, compared with Cambiaso and Xavi Alonso, it is much worse.

But neither Cambiasso nor Xavi Alonso have yet to challenge Gravisen, especially the latter.

……

When Patrice Evra scored the third goal, the game was almost over.

Deportivo La Coruna worked hard to create goals, but Yang Hao always maintained the double midfield of Graveson and Baraja, as well as the forward position of Deco, and did not change the combination of the midfield iron triangle.

The purpose is to hope that the three of them can get more run-in.

Yang Hao later replaced Belletti with Aguilera and tried to play the Atletico captain at right wing-back, a position he had played before.

The last substitution was reserved for Kiko, who replaced Pandiani, who scored a goal.

Since Yang Hao coached Atletico Madrid, Kiko has not been reused, and there are even various rumors in the outside world that Kiko has been beaten into the cold palace by Yang Hao, and the two have a conflict because of this.

Before Kiko came on the field this time, he specially stood with Yang Hao and clarified to everyone with practical actions that there was no contradiction between him and the head coach.

But it is also clear that after Kiko came on the pitch, Atletico's threat in the front court dropped a lot.

It's not that Kiko doesn't work hard, it's that no matter how hard he tries, he can't keep up with the team.

It's a very sad and cruel thing.

Especially at the Calderón Stadium in Atletico Madrid, in front of more than 50,000 Atletico Madrid fans, Kiko told everyone very clearly why Yang Hao didn't let him play.

Because he really can't do much more.

The serious injury at Barcelona completely knocked out his form.

So much so that in the period after Kiko came on the field, Deportivo La Coruna got a chance to breathe, and even organized several similar counterattacks.

Tristan is more versatile than Mackay, especially as a centre-forward, who has better technique and better ability to handle the ball.

Yang Hao understands very well why Irueta sold Makai in his previous life, not only because the transfer fee given by Bayern was high enough, but also because Deportivo already has a well-rounded center forward like Tristan.

In the end, at the referee's whistle and the cheers of more than 50,000 Atletico fans, Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruna 3-0 at home in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup.

In this battle, Yang Hao's team cleared the shame of being defeated by Super Laco at home last season, and at the same time let everyone re-acquaint themselves with Atletico Madrid.

Yang Hao made a high-profile statement at the post-game press conference.

'Everybody thinks we're going to be relegated this season, but I'd like to say here that our goal was never relegation.

"This game is the best proof of us!"
