Chapter 402: Surprise victory! A performance that transcends ordinary people [a big chapter of ten thousand words, please beg me to subscribe]

5 is better than 1!

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the entire Emirates Stadium was completely thrown into a carnival.

This is Atletico Madrid’s fourth consecutive Champions League final!

Atletico Madrid won the Champions League three times before!

Since Yang Hao coached Atletico Madrid, he has created a very magical and great record.

That is, as long as he reaches the finals, he can always win the championship!
A 100% winning rate in the finals is something no other head coach can achieve.

Therefore, for Atletico Madrid fans, entering the final almost means winning the championship!

What is even more exciting for Atletico Madrid fans is that Atletico Madrid entered the final on the corpse of Real Madrid.

This is undoubtedly extremely precious.

The players and staff on the sidelines also rushed into the court to celebrate. Everyone was extremely excited and excited to reach the final.

Yang Hao first walked to the visiting team's coaching bench and shook hands with Wenger.

He saw helplessness and unwillingness on the coach's face.

He had just celebrated his victory at Old Trafford, and then lost to Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium. What a terrible thing for Wenger, who wanted to chase more championships. .

You know, this season is the closest he has come to winning the Triple Crown since coaching Real Madrid.

Leading the league, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, reaching the final of the Copa del Rey...

How eager he is to win the Triple Crown this season, he is completely proud.

But the result?

They were eliminated from the Champions League by Atletico Madrid.

"The league and the King's Cup must belong to us!" Wenger pointed at Yang Hao and said fiercely.

Yang Hao chuckled and was noncommittal.

He dare not say anything about the league, after all, Atletico Madrid is now at a disadvantage.

The main reason is that Atletico Madrid has made a lot of mistakes this season.

The King's Cup final is at the Bernabeu Stadium, but Yang Hao also wants to compete.

"We'll see."

Yang Hao left a confident smile, said goodbye to Wenger, and turned around to leave.

Wenger was left in disarray.

If it hadn't been for tonight's defeat, he would have been really confident, but now...

……

After returning from the visiting team's coaching bench to the home team's coaching bench, Yang Hao, Lillo and others high-fived each other and then stood next to Guardiola.

Guardiola is looking at the stands on the far side of the pitch.

Many fans were shouting Lewandowski's name, and the noise was getting louder and louder.

In the Champions League semi-finals, scoring 4 goals in a single game, the Polish center really exploded tonight.

"He has posed a difficult problem for us!" Yang Hao said with a wry smile.

He said it was a wry smile, but actually he was quite happy in his heart.

In other words, the troubles of happiness.

Currently, Atletico Madrid has 4 centers.

Captain Torres, two-time Ballon d'Or Adriano, Suarez and Lewandowski.

This does not include the several young players sold by Atletico Madrid's youth team in the past few years. Basically, they have been transferred to other teams in La Liga or La Liga. For example, Moral and other La Liga centers are directly from Atletico Madrid's youth training.

Atletico Madrid is now a veritable powerhouse in youth training in La Liga.

But the troublesome thing is that too many talents are also a problem.

This situation is particularly obvious this season.

29-year-old Torres, 31-year-old Adriano, 26-year-old Suarez and 24-year-old Lewandowski.

Judging from his performance this season, Adriano is already at a disadvantage in the competition.

Torres and Suarez are both the team's main forwards, while Lewandowski plays the main role in the King's Cup and La Liga.

But at Lewandowski's age, he is no longer suitable to stay in Atletico Madrid's second team and play in the second division.

In addition, with his outstanding performance in the Copa del Rey this season, more and more teams will be eyeing him.

Nowadays, playing against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals, and performing four goals after coming off the bench, this is a rhythm that is about to explode.

Such players must be given to the main force, otherwise they will not be retained at all.

The situation at Atletico Madrid is quite complicated now.

Adriano basically retired and was willing to be a substitute.

This is actually in line with the Brazilian center's own positioning and planning.

You know, at the age of 31, he has suffered a lot of injuries. His overall strength is good, but his combat effectiveness is not much better.

If he chooses to retire in Serie A or the Bundesliga at this time, it will be difficult to say whether he will be considered a star of Atletico Madrid after retirement. After all, Yang Hao alone has the final say in determining whether he is a star of Atletico Madrid.

Adriano has made enough money. According to his wishes, he will either go to the United States or return to Brazil to retire, or he will stay at Atletico Madrid as a substitute. After retirement, he will be a legitimate Atletico Madrid star.

With Adriano's commercial value and his status in Atletico Madrid, even if Atletico Madrid keeps him, it will basically not lose money.

What's more, there is always a substitute who has won two golden goals sitting on the bench. Even if he is a little older, it is still a guarantee.

Regarding this issue, Yang Hao had discussed it with Adriano before, and Adriano promised to stay safe.

More troublesome is Torres.

The 29-year-old Torres is actually no longer in his prime.

This can be seen from his number of goals and his performance on the court.

Speed ​​and impact players often have this problem, that is, when their bodies gradually age and their speed is no longer, they must transform.

Robben is the best example of this kind of player, and he is also the one with the most successful transformation.

Kaká's transformation can be considered a success, but in many cases, as a central midfielder, he is still not as good as Modric, Toni Kroos and other midfielders in terms of organizing, sorting out the midfield, and especially controlling the rhythm.

But Kaká's ability to run without the ball, handle the ball in motion, and pose an offensive threat are very great. This is due to Yang Hao's help in his transformation in the past few years.

As a center, Torres' situation is more complicated.

First of all, he is the captain of the team, a direct descendant of Miaohong's youth training, a Ballon d'Or winner, and the favorite player of Atletico Madrid fans.

When Yang Hao took over Atletico Madrid, he once mentioned that Torres was not good enough and solid enough in handling the ball, especially in some details. He even specially arranged for Kiko to train him.

The effect is there, so Torres has reached a higher level than in his previous life.

Here comes the problem.

Now that the physical function has decreased, the speed has gradually slowed down, and the technical shortcomings have been exposed.

Technical shortcomings made Torres' transformation more difficult.

He is still at the top of the La Liga scorer list, which is the result of Yang Hao's help.

But judging from the overall performance, he is indeed not as good as before.

The terrible thing is that Suarez and Lewandowski are now watching behind Torres.

Suarez has been the main force in the past two seasons and has established a firm foothold. Lewandowski has also performed very well this season. Under such circumstances, can Torres still guarantee his position?

And Yang Hao also clearly felt from some of the intentions revealed by Guardiola that he actually does not like to use a center like Torres, because his weak skills make him not stable enough to hold the ball under high pressure on the court. good.

For Guardiola, this is fatal.

But on the other hand, Suarez and Lewandowski have no problems in this regard.

Especially Suarez.

Now Suarez is reaching the peak of his career, and his physical fitness and personal athletic ability have reached a new peak, which will make him perform exceptionally well on the court.

Yang Hao frowned, looked at Guardiola, then at Lewandowski and Suarez on the court, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"I will tell Hill to initiate the contract extension with Lewandowski!"

After Yang Hao finished speaking, he reached out and patted Guardiola on the shoulder.

This immediately made Guardiola feel a heavy pressure.

At the same time, there is a mountain of trust.

At this moment, he was completely sure of one thing.

Yang Hao is really going to retire, and he will retire very resolutely, unlike Cruyff and Beckenbauer who still have to point fingers in newspapers and media after they retire.

Renewing Lewandowski's contract means that Suarez and Lewandowski will be regarded as Atletico Madrid's future main force and left to Guardiola.

The price of renewing the contract must be the commitment of playing time.

This will test Yang Hao's ability to control the locker room.

But conversely, if Yang Hao did this, Guardiola would not have to do it again.

When the time comes, he will naturally take over Yang Hao's duties, and many things will be much easier and the pressure will be much less.

Thinking of this, Guardiola was suddenly moved.

He is very lucky that he chose to stay at Atletico Madrid!

……

After playing in the Champions League semi-finals, Atletico Madrid went 5-1 at home and 0-0 away, successfully eliminating their city rival Real Madrid and reaching the Champions League final.

This immediately caused an uproar around the world.

Yang Hao and his team have reached the Champions League finals for four consecutive years.

This is definitely for the fourth consecutive Champions League title!
You know, in the history of the Champions League, there has only been four consecutive championships once. That was when Real Madrid won five consecutive championships when the Champions League was just founded. Since then, no team has achieved four consecutive championships.

In another game, Valencia faced Klopp's Dortmund.

Klopp's team can be called the biggest dark horse in this Champions League.

The Hornets were eliminated in the Champions League group stage last season, but this season they made it all the way to the semi-finals and performed very well with a very aggressive style of play.

Many people even feel that Dortmund under Klopp is very similar to Atletico Madrid in the early days of Yang Hao's coaching.

Klopp said, "This is the greatest appreciation and recognition for me!"

This sentence shows his respect for Yang Hao.

But in the Champions League semi-finals, he met the cunning Ancelotti.

With the huge lineup that Fatty An had on hand, Valencia lost 0-2 in Germany when the two sides met for the first time, making everyone feel that the possibility of Valencia advancing was slim.

This is actually quite normal.

But no one expected that in the second round at home, Valencia only needed 30 minutes in the first half to defeat the opponent 3-0.

The best thing about this game is that Ancelotti replaced Sneijder with Anderson, who has performed poorly this season.

Anderson joined Valencia as a talented midfielder, and his performance in the past few years has been tepid.

Unlike winger Nani who shined in La Liga, Anderson's performance was ups and downs, somewhat ups and downs, and there was still some gap between the outside world's expectations of Ronaldinho II.

But Ancelotti has always trusted him.

Sneijder's poor condition on the court this season due to injuries, divorce and a series of other things has seriously affected Valencia's results.

But at the critical moment, Anderson stepped forward and used a pass and a shot to help Valencia reverse Dortmund 3-0 at home and eliminate the Hornets with a total score of 3-2.

Everyone suddenly realized that the Valencia midfielder who had been famous for many years was actually only 25 years old.

In the end, Atletico Madrid and Valencia met in the Champions League final.

……

At the weekend, in the 34th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 away from home.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, defeated Ranieri's Valladolid 3-90 with Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the 4th minute after being equalized three times at home.

Yang Hao admitted at the post-match press conference that Wenger's team has shown an admirable enthusiasm this season.

……

Three days later, the 3th round of La Liga.

Valencia defeated Rayo Vallecano 4-1 away from home.

Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 4-1 at home thanks to Messi's hat trick.

By the way, after the game, all Catalan media complained about Messi.

Because they all can't understand why Messi is in such good shape every time he meets Barcelona and plays with all his strength?

What worries and grudges does he have with Barcelona?
After all these years, you still hate it so much?

Could it be said that it was really brought about by the previous life?
Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 1-0 in an away game and continued to maintain their lead.

After being eliminated from the Champions League, Wenger obviously played more cautiously and pragmatically.

……

Over the weekend, the 36th round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid defeated Celta Vigo 3-1 in an away game with Messi's pass and shot.

Real Madrid defeated Malaga 6-4 at home, and the two sides once again launched a crazy attack.

Valencia defeated Getafe 1-0 away from home.

Barcelona defeated Valladolid 2-1 at home.

This victory of the Bat Legion indirectly helped Barcelona secure the top four in the league.

……

Three days later, the 3th round of La Liga.

All games are played simultaneously.

Real Madrid narrowly defeated Real Sociedad 4-3 away from home, but this time it was Real Sociedad who scored the final goal. They scored their third goal in the 3rd minute of stoppage time.

But in the last ten minutes of the game, Real Sociedad almost overwhelmed Real Madrid.

The young player Griezmann performed very eye-catching.

Atletico Madrid defeated Real Mallorca 2-0 at home, with Messi scoring a goal.

……

Over the weekend, the 38th round of La Liga.

Before this game, the situation had actually been basically settled.

Real Madrid is playing at home and winning Osasuna is a high probability event. Atletico Madrid is unlikely to come back.

Therefore, Yang Hao set his sights on the King's Cup final three days later.

Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 4-2 at home, with a near miss.

Barcelona defeated Malaga 4-2 at home.

Atletico Madrid was away from home and defeated Zaragoza 3-1 thanks to Suarez's brace.

In this game, Yang Haoxue hid many main players including Messi.

After the 38th round of La Liga, Real Madrid successfully won the La Liga championship in the 12/13 season.

Atletico Madrid is still ranked second and Valencia is third.

Juande Ramos breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily suppressing Getafe and ranking fourth in La Liga.

……

Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid.

In the Copa del Rey final, Atletico Madrid faced Real Madrid "at home".

Real Madrid, which had just won the La Liga championship, was playing at home again and showed an aggressive momentum.

From the very beginning, Wenger's team turned away and tried to suppress Atletico Madrid by attacking.

Because they know very well that after Atletico Madrid plays the King's Cup final, they will immediately go to London's Wembley Stadium to play the Champions League final.

The opponent is Valencia.

To a certain extent, Atletico Madrid has played three finals in a row.

In addition to the Champions League and Copa del Rey finals, there is also the 38th round of La Liga.

In this case, Real Madrid is in a better situation, so they can completely fight in this game.

Real Madrid was particularly active on both sides, especially Cristiano Ronaldo on the left, who threatened Neuer's goal with a long shot in just 3 minutes.

Then there was a breakthrough on the left, creating a corner kick opportunity.

Obviously, the Portuguese is pinning their hopes of winning the second Ballon d'Or on this Copa del Rey champion.

If he wins, Real Madrid will be the double champion, and he will be more confident when he competes with Messi for the Ballon d'Or.

Real Madrid's continuous attacks finally created an opportunity in the 13th minute.

This is the third corner kick of the game.

After the corner kick was taken, Ronaldo jumped high in the penalty area and beat Pepe and Ramos to score with a header, opening the scoring for Real Madrid!

This goal instantly detonated the Bernabeu Stadium. Preventing high balls, especially high balls from set pieces, is the hardest hit area for Atletico Madrid to concede goals and even points this season.

This made Yang Hao shake his head while watching from the sidelines.

"This summer I must find a way to strengthen the team's set-piece defense training, especially high ball defense. I must plug this loophole!"

Next season will be Yang Hao's last season as coach.

He wants a decent exit!
It would be really embarrassing if you were left empty-handed!
After losing the ball, Real Madrid achieved its strategic goal and did not continue to attack fiercely, but slowed down the rhythm slightly.

Atletico Madrid also took this opportunity to stabilize their position.

As long as the rhythm is stable, Atletico Madrid's overall advantage, especially its advantage in passing and controlling the ball, can be brought into play.

The team's first shot took place in the 17th minute. Hazard's pass and Toni Kroos' long shot were slightly higher.

But then, the three midfielders headed by Toni Kroos, Busquets and Modric helped Atletico Madrid firmly control the midfield and stabilize the ball and rhythm.

And in the 32nd minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid completed a very beautiful attack.

After a successful steal in his own half, Alves advanced the ball along the right and passed it to Messi near the center line.

After Messi received the ball on the right side of the center circle in his own half, when faced with the two defensive midfielders Javi Martinez and Essien, the Argentine just relied on his outstanding personal ability to get the ball left and right. He moved, forced a gap between the two defenders, and sent a direct pass with his left foot.

The ball passed from the right side of the center circle in our own half to the top area of ​​Real Madrid's arc.

Lewandowski was Atletico Madrid's hero in the Copa del Rey this season, so he started again in this game.

When Messi passed the ball, Lewandowski quickly moved forward, and the two central defenders Kompany and Vidic ran back in front of him.

Two white figures sandwiched a red figure advanced quickly, causing the fans at the scene to scream uncontrollably.

Lewandowski took the lead and caught up with Messi's pass at the bottom of the arc.

The Polish center first made an emergency stop and pulled the ball back, barely avoiding Kompany who was waiting for him to stop the ball and wanted to take the opportunity to clear the ball and steal it.

The outer instep of his right foot followed by a lateral move, and he suddenly took a lunge, heading the ball diagonally to the right side of the arc top area.

From emergency stop to pulling the ball to restarting, the whole process happens in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Vidic rush towards Lewandowski.

But the Polish center took a step away from Vidic, leaving Vidic unable to intercept. He could only watch helplessly as the Pole shot furiously with his right foot from the top right side of the arc in the penalty area.

This shot was extremely powerful and extremely fast. It flew straight to the right side of Real Madrid's goal at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

Facing this kind of counterattack, Casillas must have positioned himself relatively outside. Before he could retreat, Lewandowski fired a shocking long-range shot.

Although the Real Madrid goalkeeper fought hard to save, he was still a step too late.

The ball hit the net!
"The ball went in!!!"

"Lewandowski!"

"In the 33rd minute, Lewandowski used a wonderful long-range shot from the front of the penalty area to penetrate Real Madrid's goal and help Atletico equalize the score!"

"Messi's pass was very beautiful and accurately passed to Lewandowski's forward path."

"The Pole's handling showed his solid basic skills, especially this emergency stop, pulling the ball, and then breaking through Vidic, which is really very impressive."

"Lewandowski can be regarded as a veritable killer of Real Madrid. He just came on as a substitute in the Champions League semi-finals and scored 4 goals in a row to help Atletico Madrid eliminate Real Madrid 5-1."

"And now, in the Copa del Rey final, it was his goal that helped Atletico equalize the score."

"Facing this rising Polish striker, Atletico Madrid has made it clear that it will renew Lewandowski's contract at the end of this season, and the Pole has also made it clear that he will stay at Atletico Madrid. "

……

After taking the lead, Atletico Madrid pursued the victory and continued to launch a fierce attack on Real Madrid.

In the 42nd minute, Atletico Madrid once again played a very exciting offensive cooperation.

Lewandowski suddenly ran horizontally to the right side of the penalty area. After receiving Alves' pass, he passed back to Messi who was diagonally crossing the middle.

The Argentinian received the ball on the right side of the top of the penalty area and passed it to David Silva.

David Silva attracted defensive attention in the penalty area, with his back to the direction of attack. Facing Messi's incoming ball, he made a wonderful heel pass and returned the ball to Messi's forward line.

The Argentinian rushed into the penalty area, faced Vidic, stopped the ball with his left foot, pulled it laterally, and then hit the goal.

With his right foot completely blocked by Vidic, all his movements were done with his left foot, very quickly, which was simply dazzling.

Vidic even had time to lift his foot, and Messi's shot was already shot.

The football went directly into the left side of Real Madrid's goal.

2 is better than 1!

Atletico Madrid reversed course!
……

Real Madrid, which was one goal behind, launched a crazy counterattack. In the 44th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo hit a powerful and heavy long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area and went straight to the blind spot on the right side of Atletico Madrid's goal.

Neuer was very focused, like a cheetah, and he fought hard to save the ball out of the baseline, defusing the Portuguese's long shot.

After changing sides in the second half, Atletico Madrid basically had the advantage and controlled the ball, but Real Madrid performed very bravely.

Both sides adopted relatively active tactics, making the scene more beautiful and faster-paced.

In the 58th minute, Atletico Madrid launched another attack.

After Alves received the ball on the right, he drove straight in and sent a cross from the right side of the penalty area.

When everyone's attention was focused on the right side and center of the penalty area, Alves' cross accurately landed at the back of the penalty area.

I saw Marcelo suddenly burst out without any defense, facing Alves' landing point, and fired with his left foot without stopping the ball. The ball got into Real Madrid's goal at an extremely fast speed.

3 is better than 1!

World wave! !

Marcelo and everyone at Atletico Madrid rushed out of the stadium and celebrated all the way.

The fans in the audience were completely crazy.

Especially Atletico Madrid fans.

This world wave kick is really exciting and enjoyable!
But no one expected that in just 3 minutes, Real Madrid attacked from the left, Ronaldo broke through with the ball continuously, and when he wanted to break into Atletico Madrid's penalty area, he was successfully intercepted by Pepe.

Ronaldo grabbed the ball in turn and got entangled with Pepe, causing the ball to be obtained by Benzema.

After the French forward pulled the ball past Thiago Silva, he fired with his right foot and penetrated the goal guarded by Neuer.

2 is better than 3!

The game is once again suspenseful!

Seeing hope, Real Madrid once again launched a wave of attacks.

Wenger also made continuous substitutions to strengthen the team's offense.

This fast-paced battle not only made all the fans in the audience enjoy watching it, but I believe that all the fans watching the live broadcast around the world will be excited.

It’s so exciting!
But just when everyone thought Real Madrid was going to make a crazy counterattack, in the 77th minute, Messi suddenly started while dribbling the ball from the right.

I saw that the Argentinian passed Essien first, and then continued to dribble forward. Faced with the left and right blocks of two defensive players, Ashley Cole and Vidic, Messi was bold and talented, first with a After an emergency stop, he continued to make false moves, and after shaking out of the gap, he suddenly started again, sprinted with the ball in his hand, and drove the ball out from between the two defensive players.

It felt like Vidic and Ashley Cole were not world-class defenders at all, but two immovable wooden posts, and they allowed Messi to dribble between them and break into the game. Large restricted area.

After the Argentinian rushed into the penalty area, facing the attacking Casillas, he directly pushed the ball.

Casillas is very experienced and reacted quickly enough. He blocked Messi's shot with his foot.

But the Argentinian caught up again, and when the ball fell, he made a sideways move, passed the fallen Casillas, and sent the ball into Real Madrid's goal again.

4 is better than 2!

The whole stadium was filled with cheers from Atletico Madrid fans!
Real Madrid fans looked at Messi running on the court in disbelief, and they couldn't help but think back to the performance where he beat three people, no, four people in a row.

Is that human being?
How can a mere mortal perform such a miraculous thing?
……

On the evening of May 2013, 5, Wembley Stadium in London.

In the Champions League final, Atletico Madrid faced Valencia.

Both sides are from La Liga and have fought against each other for many years, so they know each other well.

Ancelotti knows how to deal with Atletico Madrid, and in turn, Atletico Madrid also knows how to suppress Valencia.

Valencia's formation in this Champions League final was somewhat surprising.

Ancelotti still chose his usual 4231 formation, but not only the frontcourt has changed, but also the defense.

Anderson started in place of Sneijder and served as the team's attacking midfielder at No. 10, with Juan Mata on the left, Nani on the right, and Robin van Persie in front. This is the strongest attack that Valencia can currently produce. line-up.

Anderson can start mainly because of his outstanding performance in the semifinals.

On the defense line, Ancelotti gave up Raul Albiol and chose the double central defender combination of Jerome Boateng and David Luiz.

This is quite surprising.

You know, these two central defenders are not very reliable.

David Luiz is called Lucio II by many people, and as you can see from this name, he actually likes to go forward.

To put it nicely, this is called active defense, but to put it poorly, it is a trap.

Jerome Boateng has indeed improved significantly under Ancelotti's training, but he still gets cramps from time to time.

So far this season, Valencia's performance has not been particularly ideal in the few games in which Boateng and David Luiz have been paired together.

But in this game, Ancelotti chose these two central defenders to start together.

Yang Hao was also surprised by this.

But when it came to the game, he understood.

Ancelotti adopted a high-position press and pressure. He did not strictly defend, but took the initiative to maintain the forward pressure of the overall formation. At the same time, he also aimed his attack line at Atletico Madrid's defense.

Not only that, from the very beginning, the Bat Legion showed an aggressive momentum and launched a wave of attacks.

Ancelotti's intention is very obvious, which is to use the opening to suppress Atletico Madrid, seize the opportunity to seize the initiative in the game, and restrain Atletico Madrid through high-position pressing and pressure.

In this case, Boateng and David Luiz, who are more mobile, are obviously more suitable than Raul Albiol.

Not to mention anything else, Raul Albiol's turning speed and his one-on-one defense are indeed not strong enough.

Facing the frontcourt trident of David Silva, Suarez and Messi, Valencia wants to push the defense to a high level, and using Albiol is very worrying.

Therefore, Ancelotti chose Boateng and David Luiz.

This is called winning by surprise!
……

Yang Hao has always felt that when he is at a disadvantage, he needs to win by surprise.

Everything has a double-edged sword, and so does the magic trick.

If the strength is dominant, in this kind of final, it is to play steadily, perform to one's own level, and suppress the opponent.

But at the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid failed to suppress their opponents.

Ancelotti's strange moves, coupled with Valencia's high-position attack, still caused a lot of trouble for Atletico Madrid.

In the first 3 minutes, Van Persie fired a shot, forcing Neuer to make a wonderful save.

Subsequently, Valencia continued to press in the midfield and frontcourt. After grabbing the ball, they immediately counterattacked. This put Atletico Madrid's defense under pressure and Neuer frequently made saves.

In the first 10 minutes, Valencia shot three shots, two of which shocked Neuer into a cold sweat.

After 10 minutes, Valencia did not give up when it was good, but continued to maintain pressure on Atletico Madrid, showing a determination not to retreat without scoring.

Obviously, Ancelotti unified his thinking with the Valencia players before the game, and also deployed various decisions during the game, so the Valencia players behaved very uniformly.

This creates pressure on Atletico Madrid.

Although the Shenzhen Army will also have counterattacks and form shots, the overall performance is still at a disadvantage.

Yang Hao always stood proudly on the sidelines and did not react hastily or mess up his position.

The same goes for Atletico Madrid players on the pitch.

They have played in the Champions League three times in a row and won the championship!

Among the current players, no team has such rich experience in winning the Champions League finals as Atletico Madrid players, and no one knows better than them how to deal with the pressure and difficulties in the Champions League finals. .

Doesn’t Valencia like to be in a high position and like to press?
Okay, then let’s help them and force them out!
If it were another inexperienced or immature team, Yang Hao's decision-making would definitely be doubted by the players. At the very least, they would be worried about whether this can achieve the effect?
But not Atletico Madrid players.

Years of experience tell them that in the Champions League finals, the more eager you are to kill your opponent, the more likely it is that problems will arise.

Atletico Madrid played steadily, guarded their own goal, and dealt with Valencia's high press.

Don't you like to come and grab it?

come!

As soon as the ball is intercepted, Atletico Madrid passes and runs, transferring the ball through skillful passing and cutting.

At the beginning, Valencia was able to barely suppress Atletico Madrid due to their abundant physical energy, high morale and high execution ability of the players at the beginning.

But after the sheet army held on, coupled with the passage of time and physical exhaustion, the previous attack had no effect, and the Valencia players could not resist being slipped by Atletico Madrid like this.

Therefore, in the first twenty minutes of the game, a very interesting scene occurred.

Atletico Madrid looks relatively passive on the scene, but in fact, the ball possession rate reaches 62%, and the number of passes is also significantly ahead of Valencia. Moreover, most of Atletico Madrid's passes are actually in their own half and midfield. nearby.

There are not many passes that really threaten to enter the heart of Valencia.

This is mainly because Atletico Madrid lacks the threat of passing the ball forward.

Why does Atletico pass the ball forward less often?
It seems to be Valencia's high-position pressing, but in fact, Atletico Madrid's proactive tactics also have a lot to do with it.

Yang Hao is not in a hurry, and neither are Atletico Madrid players.

Although this pragmatic tactic did not create any threat on the offensive end, although it seemed to be suppressed by Valencia on the scene, the bat army's offense had no good way to defeat Atletico Madrid.

The central defender combination of Ramos and Pepe, coupled with Busquets in front and Neuer in front of the goal, made it difficult for Valencia's offense to threaten.

The game gradually entered a stalemate.

Especially after 30 minutes, when Valencia's players' physical fitness declined, Atletico gradually reversed the situation.

In the 32nd minute, after Atletico Madrid stole the ball near the center line, Valencia launched a counterattack again.

The Sheet Legion made one continuous pass and passed the ball to the feet of Kaka on the right side of the center circle.

Valencia had no one around Kaká, so after the Brazilian stopped the ball, he immediately moved forward.

Suarez quickly retreated from the center, as if to meet Kaká, and brought out David Luiz.

But at this moment, Kaka suddenly sent an overhead pass and passed the ball behind the Valencia defense.

After David Luiz chased Suarez back, the gap between Boateng and left back Alba was widened.

I saw Messi, who was originally ambushing on the right, quickly making a diagonal pass and catching up with Kaka's pass on the right side of the top area of ​​the arc.

Kaka's pass was also very subtle. After the ball bounced off the ground, it was unloaded by Messi and he walked into the penalty area.

Boateng, the central defender, has a big problem, which is related to his defensive habits, that is, he likes to throw himself out at every turn and fall to the ground to tackle.

Ancelotti warned him several times and also specially trained him.

On weekdays, he has indeed changed a lot and made significant progress.

But in this Champions League final, when facing an attacker of Messi's level, when he saw Messi crossing the ball into the penalty area, he was anxious and couldn't care about anything else. Throw it out yourself.

Messi was well prepared. He made an emergency stop and spiked the ball with his right foot to his left. After barely avoiding Boateng, he pulled his left foot laterally and fired a furious shot.

The ball passed Cech's hand at the edge of the small penalty area at extremely fast speed and went into the goal behind him.

1 is better than 0!

Messi turned around and ran away in excitement.

All the Atletico Madrid fans were shouting the Argentine's name crazily.

Yang Hao nodded and applauded like a normal person.

He had been prepared for such an outcome.

With Albiol starting, the defense will be much more stable, but there is a big problem behind him and he is not suitable for high defense.

Boateng and David Luiz are more mobile, but more reckless in defense.

Messi's goal seems accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.

The only difference is when, who passes the ball, and who scores the goal.

……

After Atletico Madrid took a 1-goal lead, they continued to play steadily and did not play in a hurry.

Anyway, after taking the lead, it was Valencia who was anxious.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Valencia tried another wave of attacks, but they could no longer suppress Atletico Madrid.

After being seized the opportunity to fight back twice, Valencia had to retreat.

Atletico Madrid took advantage of the trend to push the defense forward, and the pace of the game gradually accelerated.

With the decline in physical fitness and the disadvantage in overall strength, Valencia was unable to maintain a high defense and had to retreat.

Yang Hao also made an adjustment, which was to let Suarez pull aside and let Messi appear in the middle.

Use the Argentine to suppress Boateng and David Luiz and play a center-like role.

And in the 62nd minute, it was Suarez and Messi's cross-position that allowed Messi to seize an opportunity at the top of the arc and quickly make a diagonal pass between the two central defenders Boateng and David Luiz. Behind him.

David Silva cleverly seized the opportunity on the left rib and passed it diagonally behind him.

Messi stopped the ball with his right foot past the attacking goalkeeper Cech, caught up with him and hit it again with his left foot, sending the ball into the unguarded Valencia goal, 2-0!

Scored twice!

The Argentinians were so excited that they rushed to the sidelines, jumped up and cheered!
