Chapter 449 Atletico Madrid's Tactics
When one full-back goes forward to assist, the other full-back needs to retreat to the midfield to defend the midfield. Therefore, for example, when the left-back Siqueira advances forward to attack, we rarely see the right-back Hu Anflan will appear in the frontcourt, but he stays in the midfield to form a defensive midfielder and prevent the possibility of the opponent's counterattack.

When the attack fails and retreats, a full-back needs to act as the third central defender. For example, Cork is responsible for retreating to the wing to make up for the gap of the full-back and realize the construction of three and a half central defenders.

After receiving the ball, the full-back immediately crosses to find the striker. The first point is Mario Mandzukic, and the second point is Griezmann (although Griezmann is short, but many of his goals this season are through the front of the goal. Headed into the goal!)/Garcia, this is the standard front-to-back point-grabbing configuration, and then Cork and Turan judge whether to rush into the penalty area to try to pick up the opportunity according to the situation.

The full-back's sudden advance to create depth is also a common tactic used by Atletico Madrid. The purpose is to take away some defensive players and prevent the opponent's full-back from participating in assisting the central defender's defense.

Because everyone knows that the current mainstream formation is 4231. There is no doubt that two central defenders have an advantage against one forward, but two forwards against two forwards fully give the forward a 1V1 environment. At this time, the opponent's defense is actually It's dangerous.

The full-backs need to assist the central defenders in defense. This move by Siqueira and Juanfran can take away the defenders, and secondly, it can create a partial number advantage. The shadow forward retreats and the full-backs form a linkage. Turan can use He cuts the ball inside with his preferred foot, and Cork can comfortably kick the ball to find the striker. Cork's passing skills are very good and the accuracy is very high. Under normal circumstances, the defenders are extremely unwilling to let him take the ball easily.
Furthermore, although the position given by Cork is a right forward, he performs the task of an avant-garde. Cork has a very wide range of running. There is a local numerical advantage, but in this case the opponent has to shrink the middle, which allows the full-backs to have enough space to move. At this time, Gabi can make a long pass to find the full-backs or Koke to hit behind, and then make a cross.

Of course, there is no perfect tactic in the world, only better tactics, and there is no best tactic. At present, Atletico Madrid also has many hidden dangers and shortcomings.

Atlético de Madrid's shortcomings are firstly that they do not have players with very strong personal abilities, and they often rely on overall maneuvers. In times of crisis or stalemate, their weaknesses will appear without players who can change the trend of the game. Perhaps Gerry Is Ziman one?But whether Atletico Madrid can keep Griezmann is still a question.

Second, their bench depth is insufficient. Although they can integrate each player as a whole, their bench depth is insufficient. Once they encounter an injury period, it will have a very bad impact on the team's record. In the middle and late stages of the season, it can be clearly seen that the team fell behind in the standings due to various injuries in the eyes of the team. .

Third, the ability to score points against underdogs became more and more exhausted in the later stage. Atletico Madrid’s momentum in scoring points against underdogs in the late stage was not as good as at the beginning of the season. They relied on hard work against strong teams, but they relied more on their players. With the tacit understanding, Simeone needs to make changes. On the one hand, the defeat in the Champions League final also reflects the shortcomings of Atletico Madrid's serious lack of bench depth.

so!Diego Simeone is also actively seeking to think about change, actively seeking reinforcement opportunities in the transfer market.

For example, Li Yuming is a member of Diego Simeone's reinforcement plan.

Diego Simeone has thought about it. The arrival of Li Yuming can not only strengthen the speed of the left forward, but also use Li Yuming in the position of left back. It kills two birds with one stone. Li Yuming's up and down ability is definitely the top in Europe. Doubtful, but Li Yuming's high-speed up and down ability can successfully strengthen Atletico Madrid's left-back position to the level of a European giant.

Just imagine, after Juanfran at the right back advanced at high speed, Li Yuming advanced at the left back at high speed, forming a bilateral defender assisting tactic. In this way, Atlético Madrid will naturally have more offensive numbers in the frontcourt Get up, and Atletico Madrid can also use this numerical advantage to play a more delicate cooperation.

And if Li Yuming is placed at the left winger position, then Li Yuming's speed can still bring great help to the team, which is reflected in the defensive counterattack.

Li Yuming has speed on the left, Griezmann has speed on the right, and a high-point center like Mario Mandzukic in the center. Atletico Madrid's defensive counterattack system was built in one fell swoop.

Moreover, as I said before, when Li Yuming is defending and counterattacking, he can make good use of his speed advantage to stir up some storms in the frontcourt. This is what Diego Simeone most wants to see.

You know, in Diego Simeone's heart, Li Yuming is a counterattack artifact!
Moreover, Li Yuming has superb passing skills, which is a weapon he uses to survive at Atletico Madrid. Li Yuming can not only become an assaulter, he can also form an organizational core player on the wing ,
It is not the first time that the player position of the wing playmaker has appeared in Europe. In Europe, there are definitely a lot of wing playmakers like Messi, and Li Yuming can rely on his passing skills to play on the wing. Make a big fuss.

Arda Turan, like Atletico Madrid, is the kind of playmaker on the wing, and Turan has no speed on the wing. The weapon Turan relies on to survive is his dribbling, as long as the ball sticks to his feet If he does, it will be difficult for the opponent's defensive player to grab the ball under his feet.

And this powerful dribbling technique also allows Arda Turan to sit firmly in the main position in the wing organization. In fact, like Cork, he is not the kind of player who is good at speed. It can be said that Atlético Madrid does not have extreme speed assaulters like Walcott and Bale. Their counterattacks are mainly achieved through precise long passes and the awareness of grabbing points in the frontcourt, rather than pure speed. Shock, [-]v[-] or [-]v[-] is successful.

The arrival of Li Yuming can change this situation. Li Yuming can make more use of his speed to form an attack in the frontcourt when counterattacking. It can be said that the introduction of Li Yuming by Atletico Madrid can be said to have harvested a wing assaulter and a wing organizer.
