Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 221: Offensive Football
At the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid led by one goal.

The home fans felt differently in this half. They deeply felt that their passion was not enough. The team's offensive climax continued.Atletico Madrid fans even had the illusion that the home team actually played like Real Madrid.

No fan would dislike such a change.

Atletico Madrid continued to win, and the results certainly made the fans happy.But everyone hopes that the team they support will show a domineering spirit in the game, so that the opponent is unable to fight back.Last season, Real Madrid had this style.Watching the rivals in the same city win the league championship and the Champions League championship one after another.Atletico Madrid fans are looking forward to the day when their team can have such a high-spirited moment, relying on sharp offense to dominate the world.

In this first half, the fans in the stands witnessed the home team taking a crucial first step in this direction.

The only thing Simeone was dissatisfied with in the first half was that his ball possession rate was close to [-]%. He only scored one goal when the opponent was bombarded in front of the goal. He saw Wen Zhihao's performance and was impeccable.

Simeone is also very difficult to do, currently only these people are available on the forward line.Griezmann and Correa's finishing ability is relatively reliable, but the other side focuses on taking care of them, so the role will inevitably be compromised.Gameiro and Torres have rich experience, but they are both over the age. Their speed and physical fitness are flawed, and it is impossible to maintain the physical fitness of uninterrupted high-speed sprints.As for Vietto, this season's state has been extremely sluggish.Only one goal was scored in the first ten rounds of the league, that is, the combat power did not meet Simeone's requirements. Since November, he has gradually sat on the bench and has no chance.

However, Simeone's headache may be about to usher in a turning point. Diego Costa will be registered before the winter window closes, and he can represent Atletico Madrid in February at the latest.Simeone welcomed back the strongest disciple of the past just before the start of the devil's schedule, which may be able to solve the current stubborn illness.

In the second half, Simeone made adjustments to the striker. Veteran Torres played and replaced Gameiro, who was not active in the first half.Although Toniu's impact is hard to compare to the peak, most of the games this season are played as substitutes.But he is more than ten centimeters taller than Gameiro, and the fulcrum is obvious. Simeone doesn't expect him to be destructive. As long as he can win space for Wen Zhihao to insert later, the tactical goal will be considered successful.

Torres has the ability to get the ball back. Although Atletico Madrid's offense was not as stormy as the first half, it was never lacking in excitement.In the first half, Wen Zhihao focused on passing the ball to his teammates, but in the second half he began to show his personal ability.The Getafe defenders were obviously not able to cope. The three of them deployed in front of the penalty area, but Wen Zhihao still used a fake pass and a turn around to lead the ball into the penalty area easily.

Getafe goalkeeper Guaita stretched his arms to the limit and tried his best to block the two lower corners of the goal, but Wen Zhihao volleyed directly and aimed at the upper right corner of the goal.

"boom!"

A crisp collision is the most beautiful sound of nature for Getafe players.Wen Zhihao's kill shot was blocked by the goal post.

Accustomed to seeing big scenes, Wen Zhihao shook his head and smiled. There will always be accidents on the court, and it is not uncommon to miss one or two times once in a while.

As long as the initiative is in your own hands, do you still have to worry about not scoring?

A good meal is not afraid of being late.Wen Zhihao's goal came in the No.603 minute, a very imaginative undercut.The attention of the opponent's defenders was on Torres, Griezmann, and Thomas, the masters of grabbing points. Everyone was stunned by Wen Zhihao's sudden whim.

Including Simeone on the sidelines.When he was high-five with his assistant, he felt Wen Zhihao's wonder.Most of the time, Wen Zhihao's on-the-spot choices made even him feel unorthodox, but the effect was unexpected.

Originally, Atletico Madrid's performance was worthy of an all-round victory, but Juanfran made a mistake in the No. 80 minute, pulling down Molina in the penalty area and sending a penalty kick.Compared with Atletico Madrid's 63 shots on target and 2% possession rate, the score of 1:[-] seems a bit lazy.

Simeone was very excited to announce after the game that he had found a shortcut to make the team more dominant.

Combined with Atletico Madrid's field data after Simeone's change, the media can naturally interpret Simeone's meaning.

The defense system established since coming to the team in 2011 may be gradually replaced, and offensive football like this one may become the mainstream of Atletico Madrid in the future.

Simeone, as a young coach who came to Europe from South America, although he was famous as a defensive midfielder in his player era, the Argentine has a natural obsession with offensive football.Even crazier than sworn enemy samba football.After taking over Atletico Madrid, I chose to focus on defense, but at that time Barcelona’s dream dynasty was at its peak, and Real Madrid also had big names such as Ronaldo, Kaka, Di Maria, and Benzema. It was impossible for Atletico Madrid to compete with the two giants.But now with the all-round Wen Zhihao, Atletico Madrid can also try to win by controlling the game.

Being able to have the conditions to take the initiative to attack, Simeone will never be conservative.

And there is a big killer in the team that has been forgotten.Although Diego Costa's state has declined seriously this season, Simeone is confident that he can turn a stone into gold to bring his lover back to the top as he did before.He has high expectations for the trident combination of Wen Zhihao, Griezmann and Costa.

Relying on the combination of MSN and BBC, the offensive firepower of Barcelona and Real Madrid made the whole of Europe fear for a time.And the three under his command are younger, especially Wen Zhihao, who is the core of the attack among the three. Simeone regards him as the future leader of Atletico Madrid-even though Wen Zhihao has shown his core temperament and is capable of playing an important role as the core of the organization.

……

Simeone has proved with practical actions that he will make the team more dominant.It was the first time to use the offensive formation of a single midfielder and double forwards to taste the sweetness. In the next two games, the second round of the Copa del Rey's quarter-final against Lleida, and the away game against Eibar in the No. 19 league round, Simeone continued to use this formation again.The adaptability of the players is obviously better than the previous game.Two 3:0, Atletico Madrid extended the three-tier winning streak to nine games, still vigorous, maintaining the pressure on the top two in the standings.

In three consecutive games, Atletico Madrid's ball possession rate was close to [-]%, and the total number of passes reached more than [-] times.Although it can't be compared with Barcelona, ​​it must be admitted that after switching to offensive football, Atletico Madrid not only won the result, but also won the opponent's temper.

League experts and the media have predicted that Simeone's style of offensive football will be one of the highlights of the second half of La Liga.At the same time, a question was raised. In the Champions League, where there is a real strong dialogue, does Simeone still have the courage to attack his opponents?
