On the evening of October 28, the Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

When referee Arturo Ibanez blew the whistle to start the match, the stands erupted in cheers as more than 50,000 Atletico fans cheered on the players inside.

Deportivo La Coruna tees off first.

After leaving, Bellerón, who returned to Calderón for the first time, kicked the ball into the back line in the centre circle and passed to the feet of Naibet, while the Laco central defender saw the heavy Adriano pressing towards him.

This is obviously not untargeted, but evades Lucio's defense zone.

In the two-legged Super Cup between the two sides, neither Mackay nor Tristan could take advantage of Lucio, so this long pass was directly sent to the left side of the front.

Irueta still believes that the left side is Atletico's weakness, especially if Patrice Evra is not doing well.

Aurelio and Victor Sanchez jumped at the same time on the flanks for the top and the Brazilian scrambled to head the ball back.

Gravison judged the landing point, and without waiting for the football to hit the ground, he directly rubbed the header again, came to an aerial relay, pushed the ball behind him, and went to find the team's high school striker Adriano.

Adriano blocked central defender Cesar with his body, stopped the ball with his chest, and when he saw Vicente diagonally inserted, he immediately wanted to pick up a pass, but the ball was blocked by Argentine teenager Scaloni halfway and couldn't pass.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce scramble near the halfway line, and the ball changed hands back and forth.

The game started in the first minute and went completely into a fast-paced attack and defense.

The atmosphere is also white-hot.

……

Yang Hao stood in front of the coach's seat of the home team, staring at the game in the stadium with a serious face.

Tonight's game is important.

In the past three games, Atletico Madrid has drawn 2 and lost 1, which cannot be said to be bad, but it is not good.

The most important thing now is to get a win as soon as possible.

Especially the following week.

Seven days, against Deportivo La Coruna, Barcelona and Real Madrid, any team in the world will be a headache, and it may even be three consecutive defeats.

Despite the impact of the European competition, Irueta still played his main force tonight.

Deportivo La Coruna have played six league games so far this season and are only 7th in La Liga, which is not good for the defending champions.

And their biggest problem is actually defense, especially in the 0-3 defeat to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, which completely exposed Deportivo LaCoruna's shortcomings.

Failing to win 1-1 at home to Real Mallorca in the last round put Irueta under pressure again.

Add to that the Super Cup defeat and Irueta has to win tonight!

Yang Hao too!

A Coruña is draining the 4231 tactic.

Goalkeepers: Molina;

Defence: Capdevilla, Naibet, Cesar and Scaloni;

Midfielders: Donato and Mauro Silva in a back two, with Forlan, Belleron and Victor Sanchez up front;

Forward: Tristan.

Irueta has clearly learned the lessons of the Super Cup, believing that it will be difficult for Mackay to get rid of Lucio and Pochettino's entanglement after coming on, so he opted for Tristan, who has more ball-handling ability and a more obvious tactical role.

Yang Hao's side strategically "abandoned" the first leg of the League Cup.

In fact, it can't be said to be giving up, just arranging substitutes and rotating lineups to play, but the strength is still not bad.

And this game against Deportivo La Coruna, Atletico Madrid is the main lineup.

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar;

Defence: Aurelio, Pochettino, Lucio and Belletti;

Midfielders: Graveson and Baraja behind, Vicente, Deco and Joaquín up front;

Forward: Adriano.

Both teams are playing 4231, which can be described as a needle-to-needle.

But in terms of tactics, Yang Hao chose to lay heavy troops and strangle in the area between the middle line and 30 meters of his own half.

Particular emphasis is placed on Belleron and Fran.

In La Liga at the turn of the century, a double midfielder was a common configuration, but each team was different.

Celta Vigo's double midfielder is Celades and Makelele, and many people ignore the organization and passing ability of the French midfielder because Makelele is a full-time defender in Real Madrid, Chelsea and the national team.

Both players are both offensive and defensive.

Valencia's Albelda and Baraja are also a two-sided midfield combination that is both offensive and defensive.

However, Deportivo LaCoruna's two-man midfield is largely defensive, especially after Flavio's move to Real Madrid.

This is a combination of two defensive players, Donato and Mauro Silva.

Therefore, Yang Hao is very sure that as long as Belleron and Forlan are frozen, Nala Coruña's attack will be weakened by half.

Both of these players belong to the technical type, Forlan had good pace when he was younger, but now he is 31 years old and is known more for taking the ball and passing, especially curling crosses from the left.

After the opening game, both sides were back and forth near the halfway line, and neither was able to create a chance until the third minute.

Donato played a mid-length pass to Tristan, who was retreating in front.

Tristan's technique was excellent, and he stopped the ball directly to Belleron, who was cut in the back row, and let the Spanish midfielder rush forward, but Gravison calmly tackled the ball and quickly passed forward.

Adriano stopped the ball in the gap near the halfway line, passed to Baraja, and sprinted forward decisively.

Baraja quickly passed to Deco.

Deco stopped the ball and made a half-high ball straight through the middle of the two central defenders, Naibet and Cesar, and the height was just right for the two central defenders to intercept.

Joaquin plugged in, quickly inserted diagonally into the right rib, received a direct pass from Deco on the right side of the arc of the penalty area, and dribbled into the big penalty area.

At the critical moment, Molina struck!

By the time Joaquin was about to get his feet, Molina had already rushed to him and saved the ball directly.

Just when everyone thought that the first wave of Atletico Madrid's attack was over, the ball that Molina saved was still in the penalty area, and Adriano was chasing it as fast as he could.

If Adriano had fired a straight right-footed shot at goal, Mauro Silva on his left would have been powerless to stop it and would have been almost facing an empty goal.

Sadly, Adriano was unable to hit with his right foot when he sprinted at high speed, so he stopped the ball for a while, and in order to avoid Mauro Silva's interference, he also stopped in a position where his left foot was very difficult to use, causing him to take a shot with his feet in a very awkward position.

After the fight, he also lost his center of gravity and fell in the penalty area.

But this shot went straight wide.

There was a sigh of regret at Calderón Stadium.

Yang Hao spread his hands helplessly on the sidelines, with a confused expression.

Empty door, big guy!

It's an empty door!

You can't even beat me with this?

What other reaction can I give you other than?

Seeing Adriano's regretful expression of slamming the grass hard, Yang Hao's desire to scold was gone.

"It's okay, Ade, keep it up!" Yang Hao said loudly and encouraged.

Adriano turned around, raised his left hand towards the manager, thanked him, and quickly ran back into the half.

Yang Hao walked back to the coach's seat and looked at Juanma Lillo and the others with a helpless expression.

If this goal had been scored, Atletico would have started the game much better.

"I don't care what method you use, even if you take a wooden stick or an iron rod to knock me out, you have to knock out that kid's right foot, he NND!" Yang Hao was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Juanma Lillo and others were also very helpless.

Adriano's right foot is really crotch-pulling.

In the case just now, even if you pass the technique of your right foot, you can get up directly.

Isn't it easy to hit the empty door?

Do you have to stop that?

"He's been working on his right foot lately, so I've got to give him a little more time." Lillo had a word for Adriano.

Progress is not an overnight thing, how can it be said that you can practice it?

Is it really The Matrix?

"Time waits for no one, we have to speed up the progress and give him a boost." Yang Hao urged.

If you don't put a little pressure on him, you have to practice until the Year of the Monkey?

……

With the opening first wave of the game, Atletico missed a great chance to open the scoring.

The Sheets then missed another corner.

Deportivo La Coruna gradually stabilized their position and found their way back on the field.

Especially after seeing that both points of Belleron and Forlan were in focus, Scaloni on the right began to come alive.

In the 8th minute, it was Scaloni's high-speed forward insertion, receiving Victor Sanchez's return pass, a 45-degree diagonal long pass, and accurately fell to the left side of Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

After Fran plugged in, he hit it directly.

But this time Lucio and Van der Sar worked very well together.

Lucio discarded Tristan and rushed over to block the angle of the shot, which Van der Sar struck near the post.

Forlan's shot went straight into Van der Sar's arms.

The shot was so powerful that the Dutch goalkeeper got out of his hands, but immediately got up and held the ball under him.

Calderón Stadium erupted in applause.

Deportivo also took advantage of this momentum and began to launch a round of high pressure and strong attacks on Atletico Madrid.

Irueta also wants to take this opportunity to win Atletico Madrid in one go.

Yang Hao's insistence on the team's strangulation in the midline area and then retreating layer by layer has proved to be effective from last season to the present, and it is very threatening against teams that press high positions.

Especially this season, with the improvement of the speed of the frontcourt and the youthfulness of the players, the counterattack is more sharp and threatening.

Super Laco's attack is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the two wings play lively.

Whether it was Capdevilla's left side or Scaloni's right side, they were actively involved in the attack, which put a lot of pressure on Atletico's half.

However, the quality of Deportivo was too high for Deportivo to create a great chance, and more of a threat was created through long-range shots or crosses from both flanks.

In the 17th minute, Capdevilla on the left side was on the periphery of the penalty area and crossed with a curling ball, trying to find Tristan in the middle of the penalty area, but Lucio forced a header out of the center of Deportivo La Coruna.

The ball still fell to the left side of the edge of the Atletico penalty area.

Deco took the first step to determine the landing point, headed the ball behind him, and shouted, "Reuben! ”

Baraja had already stepped in and kicked the ball forward.

Another quick counter-attack from Atletico!
