Greenery Reverses The Madness

Green Reversal Maniac ()

Atletico Madrid seemed to be 442, but it was 451 again.

It is obviously a defensive counterattack, but it has become an extreme anti-counterattack.

The Barcelona scene was oppressive, and Atletico Madrid, except for Griezmann, almost all other players returned to the 30-yard area in front of the goal.

The essence of the team's defensive formation is to prevent the opponent from facing the back line!

Therefore, the protection of the midfield line to the back line can only retreat when the situation is unfavorable, instead of insisting on grabbing the ball knowing that the ball cannot be won, which is irresponsible.

Barcelona has Rakitic and Busquets in the middle circle to transfer the offensive in series, the full-backs provide support for Neymar and Messi, and Iniesta can not only contain the screen in the densely defended area, but also control the ball from the cracks over.

If Atletico Madrid's defensive formation is torn out of space, Iniesta can also form a breakthrough threat in a small area or directly send the threatening ball forward.

If Atletico Madrid defends successfully, they will quickly pass the ball forward to find Griezmann.

There is room for attack, but it is not easy for Griezmann to move to get rid of Busquets, and then to break through the two defense lines of Vermaelen and Mascherano.

Barcelona knew that Atletico Madrid was a difficult opponent, but they didn't expect that this year's Atletico Madrid would be even more difficult to deal with than last season!

In the 10th minute of the game, Messi dialed the ball from the right and accelerated past Carrasco. When he rushed into the penalty area, he was blocked by Thiago. When it passed by, Ye Yifeng made up his position and returned to defend beside him.

When Messi quickly smashed the ball and changed direction, Ye Yifeng stretched out his legs and poked the ball out first!

Sitting down on the ground, Ye Yifeng quickly got up and ran forward.

Messi looked at Ye Yifeng's back with strange eyes.

Isn't he a striker?

But he appeared in the proper defensive position and made a key interception within his ability.

Because Atlético Madrid counterattacked very fast, when Carrasco passed the ball to the front, Ye Yifeng could not run faster than the football, Griezmann had already started forward, and Ye Yifeng slowed down when he ran to the halfway line .

Griezmann dribbled past Vermaelen, but the ball was intercepted by Mascherano.

Still can't see Barcelona's goal!

From time to time, Barcelona can have a long shot, or send a threatening ball to Suarez in the penalty area. Barcelona is good at passing the ball to the ribs.

Fortunately, Atletico Madrid's formation is tight, and even if the opponent has the ball in the penalty area, they will be quickly surrounded.

In the 16th minute of the game, after Neymar cut inside to receive the pass from Alba from the wing, he took control of the ball and stopped in front of Gabi to pull the ball back and connect to smash the ball through the gap.

If you want to talk about a show, it's still a Neymar show.

Gabi has rich experience. When he was punched through the wicket, he fouled directly and left Neymar in place.

The ball was controlled by Iniesta after a step forward.

Iniesta encountered Thiago's quick approach to press and intercept, especially to block his forward line.

When Iniesta flexibly dialed the ball and changed direction and staggered with Thiago, Ye Yifeng appeared again!

He successfully blocked the ball!

But the referee's whistle blew.

Gabi fouled back and gave Barcelona a free kick.

Simeone applauded from the sidelines.

Atletico Madrid fans in the stands also applauded Ye Yifeng.

Perhaps the tense situation of the game made them forget that the club spent 105 million euros to buy back a striker!

In the 21st minute of the game, Barcelona attacked from the left side of the frontcourt. Neymar, Alba and Rakitic made a triangle pass and then suddenly passed the ball to shift the offensive.

Messi made a quick inward cut from the right to stop the ball, and after a slight fake shake on the spot, he connected to the fried balls to complete the breakthrough in front of Thiago.

In the inside cut, he encountered Ye Yifeng.

Ye Yifeng rammed him from the side, but Messi was too fast!

Ye Yifeng's outstretched legs haven't landed yet,

Messi was the first to touch the ball again, but Ye Yifeng's leg blocked Messi, and Messi fell to the ground!

Messi stood up angrily, and turned to face the referee angrily. At this time, the referee whistled Ye Yifeng for a foul.

And came up and showed him a yellow card.

The soaring Messi is really unstoppable!

Ye Yifeng thought that he would be able to get in first, but the reality proved that he was overthinking.

Simeone was sinking on the sidelines, while Ye Yifeng and his teammates communicated with the referee on the court.

Foul admitted.

Yellow cards are unnecessary, right?

But the referee showed no mercy, and very few of the cards drawn out could be taken back.

Ye Yifeng plays the role of sniper in defense. Since Barcelona's offense usually cuts in from the side to the center, and the center rarely pushes flat, Ye Yifeng naturally retreats more to make up for the position.

There is a big difference between him defending in Ligue 1 and just chasing the opponent's ball with his passion. Now he calmly assesses the situation and tries to appear in the right position and line to make key interceptions. In the early stage, there are teammates The defense forces the opponent to change the foreshadowing of the ball.

But it is undeniable that in the 20-plus minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid was the most active in the backcourt, and Ye Yifeng was the one who took the most shots.

Key interception, pass from defense to attack and instigate counterattack, he played a double role.

Now, he needs to control the movement scale in defense.

Even with a yellow card on his body, it doesn't give him much concern.

As long as it is not a dangerous action or a foul that absolutely destroys the opponent's chances of scoring, the referee may be lenient even if it is a tactical foul, so as to avoid sending him off too easily.

But he will certainly not try to challenge the referee's bottom line.

The hustle and bustle of the Calderon Stadium, the gradually accelerating pace of the game, and the huge pressure on the defense.

All these are forcing Ye Yifeng to remain calm and focused, while his blood drives him to run unremittingly, to stand in a reasonable position, and to start explosively at critical moments.

The pressure has existed since before the game, but he firmly believes that this will force a stronger and better self!

Even if he doesn't show a threat on the offensive end.

In the 26th minute of the game, when Neymar went down to the bottom on the left to bring out the offensive depth advantage, he passed the ball back to Alba, and then made a detour to the front left of the penalty area.

When Alba passed the ball back obliquely, Iniesta held back Gabi, and when Neymar was about to take the ball into the penalty area, Ye Yifeng ran in front of him first. Maer stretched out his legs and made physical contact with Ye Yifeng.

He staged another scene of a large rollover scene.

After circling on the spot, he lay on the ground, hugged the leg that had been stretched out and was touched by Ye Yifeng, and screamed.

When Ye Yifeng passed the ball to the side without interference, he half-turned and passed the ball diagonally to the front right without waiting for Alba and Iniesta to form a pincer attack.

Cork launched a quick counter-attack, and as soon as he crossed the halfway line, Neymar rose to his feet.

The mouth stopped whining.

The expression is no longer painful.

The legs and feet are also flexible.

Cork sent a direct pass in the frontcourt, and Griezmann responded and spiked the ball in front of Vermaelen to accelerate and complete the breakthrough.

Vermaelen made a sharp turn and chased after two steps before slowing down, clutching the back of his thigh with a painful expression.

This shouldn't be acting.

Griezmann finished a shot from the edge of the box, but it was a pity that there was no threat, and Ter Stegen easily confiscated the ball.

Then Ter Stegen took the initiative to kick the ball beyond the midfield line.

The Barcelona team doctor enters the pitch.

Atlético Madrid will have breathing room.

The Barcelona generals looked at Vermaelen, who was limping off the field in the backcourt, with expressions of helplessness.

Barcelona's hospital bed bearer Vermaelen didn't even persist for half the time and was about to go home again.

Luis Enrique looked helpless and could only ask Mathieu to warm up and prepare to come off the bench.

Neymar, Messi, and Iniesta looked at the tall Chinese forward with probing eyes from time to time at this time.

Is he a striker?

In less than 30 minutes, Ye Yifeng's key interception in defense was already the highest in the game!

The entire attack line of Barcelona, ​​only Suarez has not been intercepted by Ye Yifeng, otherwise it will really be taken by the pot!

Were they fooled by the media, or were Atletico Madrid fooled?

105 million euros to buy a defensive midfielder?

Not to mention, Atletico Madrid can really do this kind of thing!

But how did he score that basket of balls?

The Barcelona players are a little confused, at least they don't think that this valuable striker will do the dirty work so well.

Mathieu appears.

The game continues.

Barcelona encountered the problem of breaking through the dense defense.

Previously, personal breakthroughs have been constantly interspersed, and now he frequently tries long-range shots to see if he can create a threat.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Messi ran in from the right to respond to Rafinha's return pass from outside the baseline, and then quickly cooperated with Rakitic to hit the wall again.

He rushed to the front right of the penalty area to respond, and then dialed the ball to cross. Ye Yifeng rushed past him.

Ye Yifeng made a mistake in his prediction, thinking that the opponent would continue to cut inside, but he didn't expect to make a cross-cut and adjust a step before kicking the goal.

Ye Yifeng took advantage of the situation and lowered his head to block it with his back.

It was just a block of luck, but unexpectedly the football hit his back near the shoulder and flew out of the bottom line.

Messi couldn't help but put his hips on his hips and looked at Ye Yifeng with a wry smile.

This person is definitely not a striker!

The teammates around came up and clapped hands with Ye Yifeng, and Godin said directly to him: Good job!

It seems that Atletico Madrid's teammates also forgot that Ye Yifeng is a striker.

In the context of a tight defense line, Ye Yifeng's contribution to the defense line is obvious to all.

Without his defensive contribution, Barcelona may not be able to break through their goal, but it will definitely be dangerous.

Now it seems that the defense line is still very safe.

At least it did not allow the opponent to get an excellent kick shot opportunity in the penalty area.

Simeone stood in the coach's command area with his hands in his pockets, with a serious face, he expected the team to withstand it in the first half.

Relying on Griezmann alone in the counterattack is obviously not a winning style of play, it is more like trying luck.

Ye Yifeng must strengthen his offensive aggression!

But this premise is that Atletico Madrid has to pay higher defensive aggression, which means the risk of getting a card.

If he can withstand the first half, he must make adjustments at halftime.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid will not play like this.
