Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 222 Found a routine (Second update on the weekend!)

Just finished the No.19 league round and returned to Madrid from the away game. Simeone received the good news he had been looking forward to: Costa successfully passed the registration. In theory, he can represent the team in the league next weekend.

Simeone has always been troubled by the lack of a strong Zhengyin center, and this news finally made him smile from the bottom of his heart.

After Costa confirmed his return to Atletico Madrid in September last year, he has been training with the first team.His state was indeed sluggish at the beginning, but after entering December, Costa was obviously more devoted, and his state continued to rise.At the trough of his career, Atletico Madrid was willing to be the receiver, and he naturally didn't want to disappoint Simeone.

Simeone and Costa know each other well, there is no running-in period at all, and Costa is no stranger to offensive football in the past two seasons at Chelsea. When he was still the main force last season, the offensive trident formed by him, Pedro and Fabregas was extremely threatening.The characteristics of Pedro and Fabregas are similar to Wen Zhihao and Griezmann.A frontcourt core capable of passing and shooting, and a speedy shadow killer, Simeone believes that most of the confidence that Costa can quickly integrate into his offensive transformation comes from this.

After returning from the away game, after a day of adjustments, Simeone announced to everyone in the tactical training class the next day: "Today we will play some new tricks and make a small game."

Everyone feels very fresh. With the boss's devil training style, he actually knows how to teach while having fun...

Wen Zhihao, Griezmann and Costa were called out separately, and there were five people on the back line.Godin, Savage, Jimenez, Juanfran, Felipe.Including the substitute goalkeeper Moya, several people were taken to another training ground next door by Simeone.

Simeone left the training of others to his assistant Boggs, which made all the players look at each other: What is this for?
Even the few people who were called out didn't understand. Wen Zhihao quietly said to Griezmann: "Be more active later, I think there will be something to play."

"What?" Griezmann didn't understand.

Costa also reacted quickly. He glanced at the five people and understood the general idea: "Hey, the coach still likes to ask questions so much. We have three offensive players, and those five are defenders..."

Griezmann was stunned for a second, and shouted: "I'll go, the boss doesn't want us to fight three times!"

Griezmann couldn't control his emotions, and the entire training ground heard it. Simeone's mysterious smile confirmed everything, and the eyes of the five defenders headed by Godin instantly lit up.This duel is interesting!

The other players in the training ground next door were also very interested, and they all looked at Boggs with pleading eyes.Hope he can stop the training and allow them to watch the game.Although it's just an intra-team confrontation, both sides have shown their true skills, and the level of excitement can reach the top of La Liga. Who wants to miss it?
Boggs is also old-fashioned, and he can see what everyone is thinking at a glance, and stares and shouts: "Does it have anything to do with you? Continue!"

On the other side, Griezmann and Wen Zhihao whispered: "Wen, I feel completely lost!"

Wen Zhihao quickly said to the two of them: "Da Ge, Diego... Uh, you have the same name as the boss, I will call you Little Diego from now on, and listen to my instructions later, OK?"

Griezmann nodded without hesitation, and Costa hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "As long as you are sure, I'm fine."

Simeone divided the two teams into two teams and stood facing each other like a kick-off in the center circle. He stood in the middle and said, "You guessed it just now. That's right, it's three-on-five. The three of you face five defenders. No matter what method you use, break through the defender's defense and then shoot within the goal range to be considered a victory. Similarly, your goal is to steal the ball before the offensive player shoots. Each attack is limited to 2 minutes. If you don't score by then, the attacking side loses. Six out of ten games. Note! This is a PK with penalties. go!"

"What is the punishment?" Everyone is most concerned about this question.

Simeone replied: "The loser carries the winner on his back and runs around the outer track!"

Everyone couldn't help shivering, even Wen Zhihao felt that there was no way out.If you lose here, you will need three to carry five. A strong man of one or two hundred catties is enough to carry one, let alone two or three!But the strength of the opponent is also very strong, and it is not easy to win!
Costa is tall and burly. He looked back at the two people who were a head shorter than him, and clapped his hands and said, "It's nothing. If you lose, I'll give you two more points."

Wen Zhihao secretly praised Costa for having a good heart, and on the surface encouraged him: "Relax, too many people may not be useful, and we may not necessarily lose."

Wen Zhihao whispered to the two of them for a while, and arranged a basic offensive routine.

……

Simeone acted as the referee for both sides, a whistle sounded, and the confrontation began.

Jimenez rushed up at the first time, Griezmann took advantage of the opportunity to insert to the side, Wen Zhihao made an over-the-top pass, but Juanfran's judgment was accurate, and he blocked his position in advance to prevent Griezmann from making a pass from the bottom.

"In the first game, the attacker loses!" Simeone announced in a loud voice.

After the restart, Griezmann moved forward more resolutely and used a fake move to pass Juanfran, but Jimenez, who came out of the defense, used his physical confrontation advantage to directly squeeze Griezmann and successfully steal the ball.

"In the second game, the attacker lost!" Simeone frowned.

After suffering two losses in a row, Griezmann adjusted quickly and stopped relying on speed. He waited for Wen Zhihao to get close to him after serving the ball, and then made a pass from the wing and then made a pass from the bottom. However, Costa and Godin did not take advantage of the top fight.

"In the third round, the attacker loses!"

Boggs next door could hear Simeone's loud voice clearly. Why are they always losing? Isn't his idea unrealistic?
In the fourth game, Wen Zhihao made a feint to break through the cross, and the low ball swept across the goal. Unfortunately, no one touched it, and the ball slid directly out of the sideline.

"In the fourth round, the attacker loses!"

Simeone gave half a minute to rest, Wen Zhihao hurriedly called the two over, and Griezmann complained: "Wen, don't you have a way? How did it happen!"

Wen Zhihao admitted that he overestimated Griezmann's breakthrough and Costa's ability to grab points.Breaking through the cross and letting Costa grab the point is not going to work.

After scanning the two of them, and looking at Simeone with a gloomy face in the distance, Wen Zhihao's eyes lit up, and he understood Simeone's intentions a little bit.

"Another way of thinking, Diego Jr., you act as a fulcrum in front and press down on the central defender behind you. Da Ge and I try to get as close to you as possible, and then you make the ball for us. After the two of us dribble into the penalty area, we hit the ball back to the middle, and you shoot directly from the middle."

The two looked at each other, and it sounded feasible, so they didn't raise any objections.Losing four games in a row, there is no way out, no one wants to be punished, not to mention the physical fatigue, is it embarrassing for Bel?

In the fifth game, Wen Zhihao kicked off and directly found Costa. Costa overwhelmed Godin and flew the header back to the side. Griezmann rushed into the penalty area from the gap between the two defenders, attracting Savage's defense. Griezmann took advantage of the momentum and swept to the middle.

"In the fifth game, the attacking side wins!" Simeone's voice suddenly became two points louder, and no one noticed that he nodded slightly with a smile.

In the sixth game, the three followed suit, and Costa scored with a header from the middle.

The three on the field were very excited, Simeone even more so.The purpose of this game is to develop a sense of cooperation among the trio.But he didn't expect the effect to be better than expected.Facing this top five-back defense line, it can run smoothly, and this set of offensive routines should have good actual combat results.
