Greenery Reverses The Madness

Green Reversal Maniac ()

Ye Yifeng has created a world football transfer record worth, but he is not considered the strongest active player in world football.

This can be seen from his annual salary. Of course, if he is willing to go to Paris Saint-Germain, his annual salary will be greatly increased. Different clubs have different salary structures.

But at Atletico Madrid, he is the highest paid player in the team, not one of them.

Simeone doesn't care about Ye Yifeng's commercial value, that's what club chairman Cerezo will care about.

Since the day Ye Yifeng joined, his jersey sales have continued to rise. Nike has sold 7 million pieces of Atletico Madrid No. 10 jerseys in China every month, and the highest single-day sales volume of 460,000 pieces is a new football record.

Ye Yifeng sold more jerseys in one day than Atletico Madrid sold in the whole of last year!

He realizes his commercial value at the fastest speed, and Atletico Madrid also officially announces strategic cooperation agreements with more companies from time to time.

Simeone's task is to let Ye Yifeng realize his competitive value.

After two warm-up matches in Japan and China, Atletico Madrid returned home and played three more warm-up matches.

Except for Ye Yifeng who only played 30 minutes in the last warm-up match, he played an average of about 65 minutes in other games.

His performance is to drive low and go high, his competitive state is constantly recovering and improving, and it also poses problems for Simeone.

In terms of skills alone, Ye Yifeng is not the best offensive player.

Compared to speed, he is not the fastest striker.

But on the court, Ye Yifeng showed an unimaginable view of the overall situation and comprehensive ability of the game.

Atletico Madrid's gangster team lacks brains.

Especially in the context of the departure of Raul Garcia.

Ye Yifeng found that he was a little helpless during the running-in with the team.

In Wolfsburg, he and his teammates in the frontcourt were able to cooperate with four or five people in a row to touch the ball in a wave of offense. The pass and cut cooperation has the continuity of the team's overall combat.

But at Atletico Madrid, such continuity is almost non-existent.

The key to Simeone's instilling tactical concepts is first: defense! keep!

Static defensive superposition crazy pressing!

Then comes the offense.

The offense is fast, simple, and never procrastinated.

The day before the opening game of the new season, Simeone announced the starting list at the pre-match preparation meeting.

Ye Yifeng is on the list, and Atletico Madrid can't spend 105 million euros and put him on the bench.

After arranging tactics and arranging the end of the meeting, Simeone left Ye Yifeng behind.

During the preparations for the whole summer, the two did not communicate much.

Because of Ye Yifeng's performance on the court, Simeone couldn't fault him.

The awareness of defensive pursuit to death and joint defense cooperation is also reflected in the game position, and at the same time, active confrontation also meets his requirements for players.

At the same time, Ye Yifeng did not pursue personal performance in the offense. Whether it was organizing the pass or actively grabbing points, it was in line with Atletico Madrid's style of play.

But Simeone still needs to have a good chat with Ye Yifeng.

Wearing sportswear, Simeone wiped off the tactical board, drew a 343 formation on the tactical board with a pen, and then said to Ye Yifeng: A great coach once told me that the best defense is offense, and according to The tactical play setting can indeed present a wonderful and extraordinary offensive effect.

Speaking, Simeone drew different arrows on the small circles representing the players in the 343 formation, roughly marking the potential coordination and interspersed movement lines of each point when the players attack.

Some circles have more arrows, others have fewer circles.

With Ye Yifeng's current tactical understanding ability, he can understand instantly, which means that the players are responsible for different tasks.

More arrows means that the character has a stronger role in advancing, while circles with fewer arrows may take on more organizational tasks, while taking into account the defensive construction of the interception line.

Simeone's voice changed.

But the price of attacking is always risking with the defence, you can play 10 games of good attacking football,

But one crucial loss could cost you everything!

And the demands on the team are too high.

First of all, you must have enough players with strong offensive ability.

Then you have to make sure that those players are in good shape.

Finally, unavoidable problems, when encountering the need to break the dense defense, it depends on luck!

After all, he drew a big X on this formation.

Then he redraws a 442 formation.

He marked the left forward, left midfielder, and central midfielder respectively with arrows.

In the warm-up match, I tried to put you in these three positions for experimentation. Your performance was very good. The off-ball running and ball handling options during offense were very reasonable, and they all met the requirements of these roles.

What I need you to strengthen and improve now is what to do with your defense when you play these three roles respectively!

It takes a process to have defensive ability and integrate this ability with the team.

If you have different views and requirements, you can tell me.

Ye Yifeng shook his head.

He kind of understood what Simeone meant.

Atlético Madrid is not a team that can play offense everywhere.

What Simeone pursues is not to attack and level the world. The first thing he thinks of when he eats, sleeps, shits and pisses must be defense.

Ye Yifeng has the enthusiasm and ability to defend, so now Simeone wants Ye Yifeng to integrate into Atletico Madrid's defensive system as quickly as possible.

As for which role he will play in the game, Simeone didn't say clearly, but Ye Yifeng knew very well that Simeone was treating himself as the team's all-rounder.

Atletico Madrid's own changes may be just lineup optionality and player status fluctuations, but every opponent is different, and the situation of every game is different.

The positions and roles of other players will not change, but Ye Yifeng may be the most flexible!

This is a requirement at the core level, and it is also a key variable for whether the team can break the fate of being suppressed in the past!

Simeone spent nearly an hour instructing Ye Yifeng.

And tell him that after each game, he will spend time with him to review his performance and summarize his performance.

 …

August 22, at 7:30 p.m.

When the lights come on in Madrid, the city is exuding charm and beauty.

In the southwest of Madrid, on the banks of the Manzanares River that runs through the city is the Calderon Stadium.

The lights are bright and the voices are buzzing.

Atletico Madrid ushered in the challenge of the newly promoted Las Palmas in the opening game of the new season.

When Ye Yifeng, who was wearing the number 10 jersey, appeared on stage with his teammates, he specially went to have his hair cut today. He has always kept his hair short, but he was not blessed with the baptism, haircut and blow-dry package.

New season, new battlefield, naturally there must be a new mental outlook.

The overall attendance rate of La Liga is lower than that of Bundesliga and Premier League.

It is also difficult for Atletico Madrid to ensure that every home game is full.

Like today, even if it is the opening game, the opponent is a newly promoted, and the attendance rate is only 90%.

Tang Mo sat in the box to watch the match today, because Ye Yifeng's mother and Tang Mo's mother also came to the scene today, as well as their two friends.

The four-member group of the sunset red girl group came to Europe to travel, and when they visited Spain, they stopped by to see Ye Yifeng......

Atletico Madrid starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Oblak.

Defenders: Juanfran, Godin, Jose Jimenez, Felipe Luis.

Midfield: Koke, Gabi, Saul, Ye Yifeng.

Forwards: Griezmann, Torres.

Las Palmas, as a newly promoted horse, is here as a guest. The natural formation is very conservative, and they have a 451 formation.

The fans in the stands were still very enthusiastic, and some of them were Asian faces cheering for Ye Yifeng.

The game started off at a slow pace.

Las Palmas' offensive impact basically couldn't even get into Atletico Madrid's penalty area, and most of the time it couldn't even get past Atletico Madrid's first defensive midfielder.

To put it simply, the essence of Atletico Madrid's tactics is: attack directly against the opponent's back line, but the opponent's attack has to break through the two tight defense lines of the midfielder and the back!

Ye Yifeng initially tried to form a connection with Saul in the center or Torres who was closer to the striker in the left side of the midfield.

The effect disappointed him.

Saul will move the ball forward faster, without giving Ye Yifeng time to run.

It seems that offense is a one-shot deal.

Anyway, the midfielder is right to just pass the ball forward.

It doesn't matter if the pass is lost, anyway, the defensive position will not be lost, and it is absolutely fast to enter the defensive state, but the offense seems impatient.

Ye Yifeng will pass the ball to Torres who runs out of space when he encounters an opponent's interception when he advances in the frontcourt, and then he will speed up his running and cut in.

But Torres didn't ignore him, but chose to do it alone when he touched the ball, or passed the ball to Griezmann, who was already running in the front position.

From the perspective of Las Palmas, whoever is closest to the defense line must be the most obvious point of fire.

Under such circumstances, Griezmann is the clear card. Las Palmas shrinks the defense line to chase and intercept, and Griezmann can only do it alone.

Torres went it alone without passing the ball, and the effect was similar.

Both of them looked threatening when they got rid of the ball and accelerated the breakthrough, but they couldn't hold back Las Palmas's defensive strength!

So what?

Without the extraordinary effect of Messi's runaway, how could it make you go straight to Huanglong?

Ye Yifeng ran a lot without the ball and finally had to turn around and run back to ensure that the defense did not lose position.

He has a feeling of returning to the time when he first went to Monaco.

But the tactics are really different.

Torres' reaction seemed to tell him invisibly: I am the old golden boy! Why should I be a tool person for you?

In fact, this is determined by Atletico Madrid's tactics. They never procrastinate in their offense and do not pursue possession.

Atletico Madrid's average ball possession rate does not exceed 50% per game, which means that they have no advantage in ball possession rate.

At the same time, their pass success rate is at the level of losing face among La Liga teams: less than 80% in most games.

A team with no advantage in ball possession rate and low pass success rate, how can they win?

Defend, break fast!

Atlético de Madrid is the team with the highest average number of successful interceptions and defenses per game in La Liga. At the same time, 50% of their offenses are also launched after successful interceptions.

Ye Yifeng needs to adapt and find the rhythm in the game so that he can control the team.

I feel like I'm back in Monaco.

But the mentality did not return to Monaco.

He definitely didn't come here to be a tool man!
