Chapter 344 The Game Director

"Friends from the audience! Welcome to the eighth round of the 2010-2011 La Liga season. Atletico Madrid, ranked No. 3 in the standings, will challenge Villarreal, who is ranked No. [-] in the standings, away! Atletico Madrid's state this season is amazing, and Villarreal is not far behind. Now that two teams are facing each other, what will be the result of this game? Let's wait and see!" Spain's commentator Aduriz said in the commentary booth.

"Atletico Madrid is playing away, and they also have several main players injured. Modric and Boateng have just returned from injury. I don't know how they are now. Griezmann is still missing due to injury. He will definitely not be able to play in this game. So Villarreal now has a very good chance to beat Atletico Madrid. Maybe Atletico Madrid's winning streak will come to an abrupt end in this game." Mateo said from the side.

"We got Atletico Madrid's starting lineup before the game. Modric was still sitting on the bench. It seems that Gao Bo is not too relieved about his injury, but Boateng started. Mane, who performed well in the last game, was not played in this game. Instead, he sat on the bench. The teenager Koke continued to start. Now the starting lineup of Atletico Madrid is like this. Goalkeeper De Gea, Juanfran, Godin, Boateng, Sandro on the back line, midfielder Kante, Raul Garcia , Koke, Mario Suarez, Diego Costa and Aguero up front!"

"This starting lineup is unexpected, because according to this starting list, Atletico Madrid will have a 442 formation in this game, which is obviously different from their previous 433 formation. I don't know what coach Gao Bo is thinking about?"

The two commentators talked a lot.

Villarreal coach Garrido also has some doubts about the starter sent by Gao Bo.

Generally speaking, the winning team does not change. Atletico Madrid has always been 433. Why is it suddenly changed to 442 now?
Garrido was somewhat puzzled by Gao Bo's change, but it didn't mean he would despise his opponent because of it.

Atlético Madrid are in really good form this season, and even their substitutes look pretty good!

After Garrido and Gao Bo shook hands, the match was about to begin.

The camera of the TV broadcast locked on Gao Bo, and now Gao Bo looked complacent and confident, as if this was his home field.

Gao Bo did not regard Villarreal as a difficult opponent. Although his starting formation has changed, his tactical thinking has not changed.

It is still the original set of tactical ideas, but the team's formation has changed.

The formation is a jar, and the tactics are the wine. The wine in the jar has little to do with the formation.

Atlético de Madrid's offense focused more on breakthroughs from the wing before, but after the 442 change, Gao Bo's original intention was to strengthen the crosses from both sides.

Moreover, there are many players on the team's bench that can be used. The game density this season is not high. Gao Bo can only find ways to allow more players to have the opportunity to play.

Moreover, the change to 442 has another purpose, which is to make the team's personnel combination more flexible. If the players adapt to 433 like 442, the team will also have a more commonly used backup formation in future games.

.......
After the game started, the head coach of the yellow submarine, Garrido, immediately discovered that the current Atletico Madrid team is different.

In the previous games, Atletico Madrid's offense in the frontcourt often created chaos through wing breakthroughs, or passed the ball into the penalty area through quick passes and cuts in the frontcourt, creating a shooting rally for the striker and the midfielder who inserted behind.

Before the game, Garrido conducted intensive training on the characteristics of Atletico Madrid's offense. He asked his players to stand in formation from the beginning of the game, so as not to let Atletico Madrid have the opportunity to break through the wing. As for Atletico Madrid's pass from the outside, let them pass it!
But this game is different.

Atletico Madrid's frontcourt pass speed is also very fast. If the purpose of Atletico Madrid's fast frontcourt pass before was to create an open shot, then Atletico Madrid did not play so complicated in this game.

They passed the ball on one side densely, after attracting Villarreal's defense, they created an open space on the other side.

In the 6th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid quickly passed the ball in the frontcourt. After Cork took the ball from the right and attracted the attention of Villarreal's defenders, he suddenly transferred the ball to the other side.

After Alex Sandro stopped the ball from the side, he took a step towards the penalty area, and then passed the ball into the penalty area.

The football soared into the air and flew towards the penalty area with a strong spin!
Atletico Madrid has formed a three-point grab in the penalty area.

Aguero goes up front, Diego Costa goes in the middle and behind... Mario Suarez!

No one hit the front and middle of the football, but Mario Suarez from the back point overwhelmed the defensive player to take off and hit the goal with a header!
The football was slightly higher than the crossbar, and there was a sound of gasping in the stands of the Love Song Stadium.

It's a pity that Mario Suarez almost beat his chest in the penalty area. This ball is indeed a very good opportunity!

Before the game, Gao Bo told him that his task in this game will be very heavy.

When attacking, you need to insert into the penalty area to grab points, and when defending, you need to return to the midfield and form a double midfielder with Kanter.

Mario Suarez didn't feel embarrassed about this at all, he was even more moved by Gao Bo's arrangement.

Mario Suarez has also been in Spanish football for a long time. Many people regard him as a blue-collar midfielder, but Gao Bo told him that Mario Suarez can also play a huge role in offense.

For Gao Bo, with Mario's height of 180 cm and his physique, it would be too wasteful not to grab a header to attack.

And Gao Bo is slowly developing and adjusting more of the team's offensive potential.

Atlético de Madrid's offensive methods were relatively solid before. Gao Bo believed that if Atletico Madrid only relied on the previous offensive routines, they would be thoroughly studied sooner or later, and the tactical thinking designed by Gao Bo was very flexible.

The frontcourt creates gaps by passing the ball quickly. The gaps not only refer to the gaps that can be shot directly, but also the gaps that create a calm pass.

And in the case of playing double centers, Diego Costa and Aguero's ability to grab points is good, but Gao Bo still feels a little thin, so Gao Bo let Mario Suarez play a very important role in the back row in this game.

As it turns out, Mario did a pretty good job.

Garrido was also taken aback.

Cross from the wing? ?
Garrido looked at Gao Bo not far away.

This Chinese doesn't play cards according to the routine! !
However, when the game started, Garrido also discovered that Atletico Madrid seemed to be playing not much different from their previous games, except that the focus was different.

Facing Villarreal's dense defense in the middle, Atletico Madrid's passes were more on the sideways to find space.

In the 9th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid sent another rally with an open cross.

This time it was Cork who found a chance on the right, and Cork passed the ball into the penalty area with his right foot.

It's Mario Suarez again!

This time he rushed in from outside the penalty area to complete the header attack!

The ball was blocked by Villarreal goalkeeper Diego Lopez.

corner kick!

The goalkeeper Gao Bo is also quite familiar, because Diego Lopez later transferred to Real Madrid. After Casillas was abandoned by Mourinho because of conflicts with Mourinho, Diego Lopez also served as Real Madrid's main goalkeeper for a while.

This game Diego - Lopez is destined to be very busy.

Atlético Madrid's tactical corner was taken, and after a few passes, left-back Sandro passed the ball into the penalty area.

This time Diego Lopez was prepared for Atletico Madrid's cross. He attacked quickly, jumped high, and held the ball in his arms.

There was a burst of applause from the stands of the El Salvador Stadium, which was for Lopez, the busiest Villarreal player since the start of the game.

"Villarreal was a bit underprepared. Atletico Madrid changed their previous offensive style in this game. With the help of double center forwards and Mario Suarez's back row, Atletico Madrid threatened Villarreal's goal by constantly creating open crosses!!"

In the commentary seat, the commentator Aduriz also saw the clue.

"Coach Gao Bo made another offensive change, but in terms of overall tactics, Atletico Madrid is not much different from before. This is not a fine-tuning of the offensive direction!" Mateo said.

"It seems that Gao Bo's tactics are still very flexible, which may also be able to see the personality of this Chinese from here. Flexible and eclectic!"

The two commentators talked a lot.

Gao Bo also applauded the team's offensive performance.

This set of offensive plan B was designed by Gao Bo all the time.

Previously, they used fast passing and breakthroughs on both sides to seek offense. This is Atletico Madrid's previous offensive method.

And this set of plans is to deal with the possible situation of being restricted by the opponent, Gao Bo's plan for a rainy day.

The focus of this plan is to draw the two midfielders on both sides, Raul Garcia and Koke, and if Modric and Griezmann come back, they can also play this position.

This is a bit similar to the role of the front midfielder, but the front midfielder is also a bit different. They can get more space near the wing, which means that their passing choices can be more calm.

Kanter and Mario Suarez in the middle formed the team's defensive center of gravity. The two defensive midfielders with excellent defensive capabilities are like a boulder hanging at the front of the opponent's penalty area.

On both offensive and defensive ends, Gao Bo also emphasized balance in the case of 442.

……

Atletico Madrid firmly occupied the initiative on the field, and they increased the intensity of their attacks.

In the 19th minute of the game, Raul Garcia took the ball horizontally to the center after receiving the ball. After attracting the Villarreal players, Raul Garcia immediately split the side.

Today Sandro was deeply involved in the offensive end, he stopped the ball calmly again, he still had time to look at the situation on the wing, and kicked a cross again!
After the football was pushed out by the central defender, Cork got the ball on the left side of the penalty area and took a shot.

The football was still saved by Lopez.

Atlético Madrid's constant crosses created threats, and the fans at the Estadio Estadio were all nervous.

There were constant dangers in the Villarreal penalty area, but Lopez played very well. He blocked high and kept Villarreal's goal.

However, at the end of the first half, Villarreal still failed to maintain a perfect body.

Atletico Madrid finally scored, but this goal was not through a header.

In the 401st minute of the game, Atletico Madrid launched an offensive from the right side.

Juanfran came up and faked a cross, and Villarreal's defense was flattened by Atletico Madrid's attackers up front, leaving a wide open area at the front of the penalty area.

Juanfran passes the ball into this area.

Raul Garcia, in the absence of defense, stopped the ball and aimed at the goal to complete the shot!

This time Diego Lopez has no choice!

Football came in from a dead corner, one to zero!

After breaking the deadlock, it will be easier for Atletico Madrid.

In the second half, Villarreal wanted to attack aggressively, but faced with the pursuit and interception of the four players in Atletico Madrid's midfield, Villarreal wanted to launch an offensive but failed.

Instead, they were suppressed by Atletico Madrid.

In the No.606 minute of the game, Gao Bo took the initiative to make substitution adjustments.

Aguero is substituted.Mane comes on.

Mane and Diego Costa formed a double striker.

And the effect of this substitution was immediate.

In the second minute of the game No.70, Atletico Madrid made a steal in the midfield, and Kanter and Mane connected directly. After Mane took the ball, he directly dribbled the ball into Villarreal's defense.

In the end, Mane was brought to the ground in the penalty area!
The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick!
The field captain Raul Garcia came to take the penalty kick, and Lopez, who performed well, had nothing to do with Raul Garcia's penalty kick!
Raúl Garcia scored twice from the penalty spot for Atlético Madrid's second goal of the game.

"Before the game, we all thought it would be a fiercely competitive game, but in the actual game, Atletico Madrid won easily. Coach Gao Bo caught Villarreal by surprise through a side change, and after taking the lead, Coach Gao Bo's substitution once again had an immediate effect! From these two actions, it can be seen that in the competition between the two coaches, Gao Bo completely defeated Garrido!!"

Aduriz shook his head in the commentary seat and said.

Garrido on the coach's bench also had a gloomy face.

From the beginning of Atletico Madrid's change of formation, Garrido found himself behind everywhere, and in the end the game was completely introduced into the rhythm of failure.

And what about Gao Bo?

He is like a masterful director, the script of this game is written in his head.

He controlled the direction of the game very delicately. Atletico Madrid almost didn't make much effort to defeat the excellent Villarreal.

The final score of this game was also two to zero, and Atletico Madrid won away.

In the final stage of the game, Gao Bo also sent Immobile, allowing the young Italian striker to feel the atmosphere of the game.

Immobile also performed well after the mall. If it weren't for Diego Lopez's wonderful performance, the Italian might also be able to score.

3 minutes of stoppage time.

However, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game at No.90 two minutes into the game.

Because this game is completely without any suspense.

Although the score gap is not big, the situation on the court is firmly controlled by Atletico Madrid.

At the moment when the whistle blew at the end of the game, Gao Bo who was walking towards Garrido on the sidelines was locked on the TV screen.

"This is the director of this game!"

Aduriz's voice came from the TV.

　I will send my brother to school in the afternoon and come back to continue updating in the evening. Thank you for your support.
