Step by Step to Win

Before the arrival of the second round of the Champions League, someone predicted that a classic battle will inevitably occur between these two games. [No pop-up window..] But at the time, the most talked about was perhaps between Real Madrid and Bayern, which is destined to attract the attention of the world. Compared with that group of battles, the match between Atletico and Wolfsburg is almost like two fire-burning girls next to the wealthy daughters fighting. Maybe this game will be very powerful, but no matter who wins, it seems that it is also It's just the fate of making wedding clothes for others.

However, those who really watched this game can feel that the intensity of this game is not at all below that of another duel. From the beginning of the game, Wolfsburg carried out a menacing attack, as if it were unhappy not to tear down Atletico Madrid, which made this game quite exciting.

At that time, it was said to be wonderful, but this ball is not actually the one you come and go. At least the two sides of the game didn't seem to have any plans for an offensive battle. However, even so, this game made many fans quite relieved, at least compared to the last time they played against it, it was much more enjoyable.

Compared with the previous game, Atletico's offense was obviously much weaker in this game. After 40 minutes, Atletico Madrid’s half-time counterattacks were only a few times. Among them, one time they were fouled by Wolfsburg players just after half-time, and they could not go on, and the other time, they themselves The forward Diego Costa fouled first and was severely warned by the referee, but also failed.

It seems that in this game, the referee is no longer on the side of the Atletico players. After the **** incident in which the referee was scolded after the last game, the referee of this game used a lot of stricter standards when making penalties. Atlético in away games, because of the referee's penalty, also suddenly encountered an unsuccessful attack.

And the desperate Wolfsburg, playing in his home court, seems to have risen a lot. Compared to the last game, they are more adapted to the game. Moreover, tactical fouls are also more open. This change made Atletico's offense almost disappeared. Simeone's team made several attempts after several attempts. He simply contracted in his own half, and even had almost no thought of attacking.

Such a change makes people very happy. Atletico Madrid football is a bit too dirty, which makes people admire their record against the Western Super League, but they also hate their disgusting style of play. And a referee was changed. The management of them is much stricter, and this game will not become a foul battle, which makes the fans very happy.

After all, no one will refuse a clean game.

Moreover, it turns out that even if there is no foul, both sides will still play. In this game, both sides played quite well. Compared to the previous game, Wolfsburg and Atletico Madrid seem to have transposed offense and defense. The only constant is that this game is still wonderful. The wing players on the two sides of Wolfsburg kept retreating. They faced Atletico Madrid from round to round, which put Atletico under tremendous pressure and made the game scene a lot better. .

The continuous breakthrough of the two sides, many people participated in the attack. Wolfsburg seemed to show their offensive power to their fullest in the game. On the side road, each impact is completed by two people in cooperation with each other, the middle road is coordinated, there is a front and a back. There are people covering and killing at every point, and it is very beautiful. Compared with the defending of the last game, they played brilliantly in this game.

And the same, the audience shrinks defense. Strictly guard against the dead, Atletico Madrid also built a bronze wall and iron wall in halftime. Relying on the retreat of all the members, Wolf Castle's offensive has never been in their hands. In the 40 minutes of the game, both sides had nothing to do with each other. But in the game, they all showed a good state.

Such a game is like a Champions League semi-final matchup. The only regret is that if there is a goal, the game will look better.

For neutral fans, it's nothing to do with the game, they still want to see a lot of goals. While the two sides are showing their own strength, if they can score one or two goals, then everything is perfect. And this idea, it is obviously impossible to hope the tortoises of Atletico Madrid, therefore, fans can only hope that Wolfsburg can score a goal.

It seems that this is not easy. With ground ball coordination, Wolfsburg still seems helpless with Atletico. In the set-piece attack, Wolfsburg did not seem to show much change in the game. Although their players have a very good height advantage, Atletico Madrid's defense has always been extremely good. It seems that the two sides are evenly matched and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

This situation was the same until the end of the first half, but at the end of the first half, things changed. When Wolfsburg made a bottom pass and was blocked by the closely guarded Atletico Madrid defensive player, Wolfsburg's set-piece seemed a little different this time.

Among the players of Wolfsburg, if it is the highest level of set kicks, it must be De Bruyne, who has just transferred to the past: Compared with other players of Wolfsburg, whether it is a long pass or a set kick, he has A much better level than others. However, as a player who had just transferred in the winter, he could not play for Wolfsburg in the game. This is also one of Wolfsburg's biggest regrets.

However, even if De Bruyne can't play, Wolfsburg has to serve a free kick. And this burden fell on Turan, the best-skilled player among Wolfsburg players. Standing on the corner kick, Turan is also looking at the position of his teammates. He directs his teammates to run in the penalty area, and is also gesturing to them, hinting at his football route.

This approach is no stranger to Atletico players. As a team that also relies heavily on set kicks in offense, Atletico Madrid will also make a lot of tactical instructions when cooperating with set kicks. In set-piece offense, the ability to cooperate is sometimes more important than the personal level. Being able to command your team to make reasonable moves is indeed a great help to the team. However, for the attack of Wolfsburg, Atletico did not care too much: in their view, no matter how the tactics of Wolfsburg change, they are able to defend.

After all, Atletico's corner kick defense, there are enough people involved and good enough. At all points, all possible fill positions, Atletico has arranged defensive players. Such an approach, of course, will make Atletico's players due to excessive retreat, resulting in a possible counterattack that may not be smooth, but for Atletico Madrid, which has an advantage, they do not need to counterattack now. As long as they can guard their gates, they can ensure that they become the winners, which makes them extremely enthusiastic about defense.

When a team has six or seven people involved in the defense, it will be extremely difficult for the opponent to score. Atletico Madrid is a team that knows how to defend. They also believe that even if Wolfsburg's offense is good, they can never open their doors. Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic may be the top headers, but it is not so easy to break the gate of Atletico Madrid.

Standing on the corner kick, Turan did not issue a corner kick for a long time. He looked at the Atletico Madrid players running in the penalty area, and he seemed to feel the same great pressure. However, delay will not solve the problem after all, especially for the lagging party. Slowly, he took a step back, and then he kicked it out!

What is surprising is that this pass is not a high-altitude ball, but a foot close to the ground and a pass to the ground that rushes over the ribs of the penalty area!

Turan’s passing was completely unexpected by all Atletico Madrid players: this approach completely does not conform to the characteristics of Wolfsburg. There are two extremely tall forwards. Everyone thinks that their offense must be based on headers. . Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic, two tall guys who have always been in the penalty area, have always been the most dangerous figures in the eyes of Atletico defensive players. Wolfsburg has height and experience. They can play the strongest high-altitude ball coordination. In the face of dense defense, headers, set shots, and far s are indeed more convenient than ground coordination—especially It is for a team like Wolfsburg that is not precise enough to control the ball at their feet, this is almost their only way out, so this is also the thing that Atletico Madrid is most worried about in the entire game~www.ltnovel.com~ They will not anyway. I thought that Wolfsburg had hit such a ground pass at such a critical moment. Throughout the game, Wolfsburg’s offense has always been dominated by headers, and throughout the game, Atletico’s defense has always been considering how to intercept Wolfsburg’s high-altitude attack, but it is in this attack. , Wolf Castle unexpectedly came for a ground ball match!

The football is passed from above the ground, so the height advantage of Wolfsburg is completely useless. Atletico Madrid's defense is quite tight, and Wolfsburg seems to have no chance of success if it wants to rely on the ground ball offense. Atletico Madrid players looked at Wolfsburg’s attack and felt that Wolfsburg’s pass was really absurd: What is the point of doing this? Isn’t it a better tactic to play high ball honestly?

Wolfsburg is not Barcelona, ​​they have the advantage of high altitude, not the advantage of technology under their feet. Wanting to smash with the high-altitude ball, Atletico may still be afraid of their three-pointers, but give up the air superiority and switch to the ground flow. Where did they come from the confidence that they can compete with the top La Liga Atletico Madrid?

With Gao Shunyao and their really poor foot skills, do they really want to compete with Atletico Madrid? (To be continued.)
