The Green Superstar

As soon as the opening whistle of the Europa League final sounded, Tang Hong suddenly shot out in the middle circle!

The football crossed a parabola and crashed into the goal of Atletico Madrid, and it seemed that it could still hit the goal range!

Courtois, who was standing near the penalty spot, was shocked. He quickly turned around and started running wildly. When he first stepped into the small penalty area, he decisively took off and punched the football that had fallen in the air over the beam!

call!

The fans were stunned!

Atletico Madrid almost lost the ball in the beginning!

"OMG! Just finished introducing the starting lineup, Braga finished the first shot of the final in less than 5 seconds from the start of the game. Tang Hong's super long shot in the middle circle almost penetrated the goal of Atletico Madrid!

He was keenly aware that Courtois was a bit forward and wanted to hit the other side by surprise. If Courtois hadn't been able to retreat quickly, I am afraid this ball would become a sensational goal in European football!

Does this count as Braga giving Atlético de Madrid a blow? Ha ha. "

Simeone pointed to his temples on the sidelines with a cold face, indicating that the Atletico Madrid players should stay focused and don't be distracted or taken lightly.

Tang Hong didn't feel sorry to see that his shot was not scored. In terms of Braga's main defense tactics, there is no need to be obsessed with how to push the offensive in a positional war. He naturally understands the style of Atletico Madrid.

If you get caught up in a battle of positions with them, it will only destroy your mentality, and it won't take much advantage.

Braga shoots when he has a chance to shoot. If he doesn't have a chance, he will not be able to press on the whole line. It is better to be more agile in a positional attack. If he can play, he will play.

The corner kick failed to create a threat.

Atletico Madrid started offensive here, Braga retreated across the board.

Today, Braga, who seems to be playing 433, actually played 442. Viana retreated to strengthen the defense and ensure that the organization of the midfield and backcourt can be completed smoothly during the counterattack.

Atletico Madrid’s positional warfare has the characteristics of Spanish football itself, that is, the precision of passing technology is delicate, but in the positional warfare offensive, it does not exceed the ordinary level of organizational creativity for positional warfare.

Especially under the background that they also don't pay too many players into the offense.

Brazil's forward, Diego, encountered Barbosa's entanglement when he had the ball in the front court. After he got rid of the spike, he passed the ball diagonally to the left to find Adrian, who passed the ball under the interference of Viana. Falcao in the middle, the football was cut off by Custodio in the middle.

Braga's tight defense also makes it difficult for Atletico Madrid to create a threat in a positional battle.

Or maybe both sides are still testing in the early stages of the game and didn't focus on their efforts.

Braga's counterattack was initiated from the backcourt, and Amorim passed the ball to Tang Hong's feet.

When Tang Hong held the ball on the left side of the midfield, Turan killed from the side and Gaby in the center also helped defend the side. The Atletico Madrid players in the area from near to far are forming a visible encirclement against him. Blockade and suppression.

This is very similar to the way Valencia blocked him in the first leg of the semifinals.

Tang Hong is not surprised, Atletico Madrid's encirclement and suppression will be more decisive and fierce!

If they can't grab the ball, they will definitely foul!

This is the change that Simeone brought to the Sheet Corps after entering the Calderon Stadium.

If you want to play technically better and more accomplished than Barcelona and Real Madrid, stop dreaming!

If you want to steal the championship from the La Liga duo, it is tantamount to grabbing food from the mouth of a tiger, so you must pick up both the axe and the machete!

Let those who play technical show not get up, let them be afraid!

Tang Hong didn't wait for Gaby to get close, and then took a pass and sent the ball to the area before the baseline on the left side of the frontcourt.

Lima quickly slanted in and pulled the side to respond. After Juan Fran took possession of the ball behind Juan Fran, he looked lonely and went deep into a dead end.

Tang Hong ran to the middle to follow up, but stopped halfway through.

Juan Fran's chasing back forced Lima to lap the ball towards the penalty zone, and Godin cut the ball this time.

Braga's counterattack did not create a threat.

Atletico Madrid did not launch a fast break after possession of the ball in the backcourt, and they also need to give the midfielders time to readjust their positions.

The rhythm of this final depends on Atletico Madrid, their attitude and adjustment to the game will determine the trend of the game!

If they choose defensive counterattack tactics from start to finish, then Braga probably won't have many good opportunities.

The two teams will fall into a stalemate phase.

In the 7th minute of the game, Arda Turan tried to break through from the right and was blocked by Eziye Gille. He then slashed the ball back to the right side of the penalty area when looking for Diego, Amorim took the lead. Destroy the ball.

Tang Hong retraced and quickly hit the wall with Barbosa to complete the forward turn. After receiving the pass to Barbosa, he encountered Gaby's frontal press. Tang Hong looked back and looked behind him to pass Gaby. When the latter turned around, he stretched out his hand and pushed Tang Hong to lose his weight and fell to the ground.

The referee whistled Gabi for a foul, and then nothing happened.

After Tang Hong stood up, he did not seem to have the slightest emotion. Being fouled is a common occurrence for him. Moreover, he is facing Atletico Madrid, and it is an extremely important final!

The other party will definitely not entertain themselves with delicious food, it must be the whip and the stick!

Simeone has been observing Braga's counter-attack from the sidelines, and referring to the past play is actually incomplete and lagging in information for football.

Because the game first has a lot of accidental factors, and secondly, the adjustment of the opponent will inevitably have differences in details in each game.

Even the development of the situation on the game field seen by the eyes may not be the basis for predicting the next game trend, but as the coach, he has to get insight into the core and key points from the information he sees.

The most important point of Braga's counterattack is Tang Hong. There is no doubt about this. Basically, Braga's offensive is stopped by staring him.

Now that the scene has entered a stalemate of confrontation, Tang Hong has not appeared in the forefront of Braga's striker, which will not pose much threat to Atletico Madrid.

After all, in the finals, Atletico Madrid's defense is always vigilant, and it is impossible for Tang Hong to start one-stop from the midfield to overturn them!

In the 12th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid finally had the first shot in the final. After Falcao hit the wall with Arda Turan on the right side of the penalty area, the latter made a long shot near the center of the penalty area. Flew directly into the stands.

The same did not create a considerable threat.

Custodio reminded his surrounding teammates to move defensively and try not to give Atletico Madrid even this long-range shot.

Three minutes later, Braga launched a quick counterattack again in the backcourt, and Barbosa sent a straight pass to find the midfielder Lima, who quickly kicked the ball back under Suarez's mark.

When Tang Hong ran to the center zone, he stopped and jumped forward and jumped forward. Gaby twisted to follow the defense, but Tang Hong stopped and smashed the ball and walked backwards. Gaby also immediately stopped and turned to keep following.

In the next second, he watched unbelievably as Tang Hong restarted the ball and walked inside in the previous direction!

Gaby hasn't been able to keep up with Tang Hong's rhythm in continuous emergency stops, and this time he has no chance to reach out for a foul!

Mario Suarez saw that the situation was not good, and Tang Hong was about to rush after breaking through Gabi!

So he quickly gave up marking Lima and defended forward, he deliberately blocked Tang Hong's pass to Lima.

Tang Hong passed Gabi into the front court and knocked the ball diagonally back to Viana at the side, and then accelerated forward. Suarez's next reaction is critical!

Before Viana touched the ball, he had sensed that Adrian from the side rear and Diego from the center were rushing towards him, so Viana's shot was somewhat decisive and too clear.

He sent the ball straight to Tang Hong!

As a result, the football was blocked by Mario Suarez from the sideline halfway through!

Suarez knew that he could not keep up when he saw Tang Hong speed up, so he chose to block Viana's line of play. This choice was very correct and directly killed Braga's counterattack!

Simeone kept clapping and applauding from the sidelines. He thinks the team has done a great defensive so far!

Even if Gaby is defeated by Tang Hong, it is not concealed. It is impossible to expect Atletico Madrid to successfully limit the opponent's performance in every one-on-one defense. That is too much to take the scorer who dominates the Portuguese Super League plus Europa League doubles. Up.

In a deadlocked game, it is actually difficult for the two teams to create a threatening offensive. Atletico Madrid, as the overall stronger team, has to fight defensive counterattacks. Braga cannot press the offense to give the opponent space to find his own way.

This is not just a contest of skills and tactics, a contest of overall strength and players' on-the-spot state, as well as a contest of psychological quality.

Who can wait for the opportunity more patiently, who is more likely to give the opponent a fatal blow!

In the 20th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid made a fast attack in the front court. Adrian hit the wall with Diego from the left and went to the outside line. He knocked the ball across the left side of the penalty zone in front of Bayano.

Falcao took the initiative to catch the goal with his back to Braga's goal. After Everton's mark, Falcao dialed the ball and turned 180 degrees in place. He took the first shot and knocked back to outside the penalty area.

Custodio has returned to the penalty area, resulting in almost no space in the penalty area.

The football that rolled outside the penalty area was shot out by Suarez from a long shot, but was blocked by Barbosa's leg when he went out. The football changed direction and flew out of the bottom line.

Atletico Madrid corner kick attack.

Adrian took a corner kick, the football fell to the point before the penalty area, Godin jumped ahead of Everton and then shook his head to attack the goal.

The football slipped past the goal slightly above the crossbar!

call!

Braga fans were also shocked!

Atletico Madrid's set-kick offense is a strong point. As a team that concentrates on defensive counterattacks, set-kick is one of the usual means of creating a goal.

Braga is different. They still take a proactive approach in most of the Portuguese Super League. Only in the European War and the three giants in the Portuguese Super League will they adopt defensive counterattacks.
