Chapter 530 Vilanova's Plan

"Since Caesar dares to come back, it means that his ability has fully recovered. Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that this is a smoke bomb." Vilanova said to the players before the game.

In the second round of the 2010 Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United played against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.

Before the game, Ferguson released smoke bombs, saying that Rooney would not be able to play. As a result, when Rooney appeared in the player tunnel, everyone in Bayern was surprised.

After the start of the game, Bayern had to change tactics, the main defense Rooney.

However, Ferguson's smoke bomb has not yet finished, and Rooney is indeed not healed from injury, and his ankle is not in the healthiest state.However, Bayern didn't know this before the game, thinking that Rooney had fully recovered.As a result, Rooney acted as a cover in the first half of that game, and the real offensive points were all initiated from the right.

Manchester United's set of combo punches completely fooled Bayern. If it weren't for Robben's amazing savior, I'm afraid Ferguson's "smoke bomb within a smoke bomb" tactic would have succeeded.

What Vilanova mentioned about that game means that today's Atletico Madrid may also release this kind of smoke bomb.

That is, Caesar did not actually recover, it was just fake news released to confuse Barcelona.

But Vilanova continued: "Whether this is false news about Bayern or not, anyway, we will remain unchanged and maintain our own style. Don't be led by the nose by Atletico Madrid."

After the game started, Barcelona was the first to attack.

Atletico Madrid still couldn't retreat, leaving only Costa to contain Pique and Bartra in front, and everyone else returned to their own half-court defense.

Harvey has been observing Kaiser. Judging from the German's running movements, frequency and attitude, he has indeed recovered, not a smoke bomb.

That being the case, Barcelona will now implement Vilanova's "Plan A."

"At the end of the day, Atletico Madrid's offense is nothing more than counterattack, counterattack and counterattack. It's not that they look down on them. This is a fact. Atletico Madrid's positional offense is not very good. The reason why they can rely on defensive counterattacks and this set of tactics that seem to have no technical content to beat all invincible players in La Liga is because of their extremely strong defensive ability, coupled with fast and sharp counterattacks."

"Now we have an advantage, that is, the total score lead. It is impossible for Atletico Madrid to hold on in this game like before. In order to score goals, they must attack. In other words, the initiative is in our hands, and Atletico Madrid can only be at our mercy."

"So, if Caesar really recovers, well, we will control the ball in the midfield and look for opportunities patiently. Don't hand over the ball lightly if there is no perfect shot. Everyone runs to let teammates play better. Only in this way can we win the game today without bloodshed."

This is Vilanova's plan A, using his good ball control to lead Atletico Madrid out of the hole.Otherwise, don't come out, we won't go in anyway.

Although a bit negative, this is indeed the best way to deal with Atletico Madrid.

The most criticized point of Simeone is "conservative". At the beginning of every game, Atletico Madrid ran to their door as if they saw some scourge.

Then it is to stick to it, to stick to it, and then use the counterattack to get the opponent.

This style of play really deserves a beating, especially for those teams that are already quite depressed after being unable to attack for a long time, and they are suddenly attacked by Atletico Madrid, which is even more uncomfortable.

This is also the reason why Atletico Madrid's reputation is so-so. This kind of "kill me if you have the ability, and watch me win if you don't have the ability" tactic is the root cause of their poor popularity.

However, Simeone doesn't care about this, and it can even be said that Atletico Madrid players don't care.

They only care about winning, so they don't care no matter how ugly the scene is.

Facing Barcelona today, Atletico Madrid still retreated. As a result, Barcelona did not attack. The two teams played for 10 minutes, and the ball was passed back and forth in the midfield without even a shot.

"Barcelona is very cautious! And Atletico Madrid is not easy to attack! The game has gone on for 10 minutes! The two teams still have no intention of attacking. There were boos at the scene, and the fans were expressing their dissatisfaction!"

But the booing was for Barcelona. Atletico Madrid fans are used to seeing their team retreat, so they will definitely not say anything more.

"Barcelona cowards! Attack if you can!"

"That's right! If you don't attack, how can we counterattack you!"

"Come on quickly! You are still men!"

After hearing this, the Barcelona fans counterattacked: "Come out if you have the ability!"

"Obviously you are the shrinking turtles!"

The two teams behaved respectfully on the court, but the fans of the two teams cursed in the stands instead.

Simeone stood with his hands folded, and he glanced at Vilanois. The opponent was also strolling in the courtyard, not in a hurry.

I'm not in a hurry, I don't believe you have been playing in midfield and not attacking?
As a result, the facts are really as Simeone thought, Barcelona is determined not to attack.

They kicked backwards in the midfield. As soon as Atletico Madrid came out to press, they kicked back. Atletico Madrid pushed out a little more, and they immediately hit behind. Atletico Madrid returned to the defense in time and succeeded in making up the position.

The game went on in this kind of passing and catching, which was very dull, and Muller's friends were about to fall asleep.

"This game is too boring, right?!"

"Yeah, this is a fart!"

"Don't read it, don't read it, what's the point?"

However, Muller watched with gusto, and Lisa could only hear him muttering: "Atletico Madrid can't hold back, they have to come out and attack."

When it comes to football, Muller is highly focused, not at all like the usual funny.

Lisa heard the words and looked at the TV. Is Atletico Madrid really coming out?

"It can't go on like this. They have time to grind with us, but we don't have time." Boggs was a little anxious.

Simeone also nodded. The players of Barcelona are also tearing their faces in order to advance. This kind of inversion is also very negative, not like Barcelona's style at all.

"I ask everyone to maintain a good formation and not to miss people. Let's press a little bit higher to maintain pressure on their midfield. At the same time, we must pay attention to the situation behind us. Their three forwards are very fast. We must not let them catch our space."

Boggs nodded and conveyed Simeone's meaning to the players.

Harvey likes to observe very much in the game, observing the opponent's players, formations, and even the coach.

He discovered the actions of Simeone and Boggs, and then, Atletico Madrid changed their attitude and began to push Barcelona out.

That being the case, there is a big gap behind them.

Harvey looked up, Messi looked over, the eyes of the two geniuses met in the air, and then Harvey played the ball.
