I brush achievements in football

The two sides did not wait too long in Bucharest. Soon, the day of the game came. Atletico Madrid and Southampton left the hotel where they were staying almost at the same time, and then went to the game venue.

This stadium is magnificent. After all, in the European arena, stadiums with a capacity of more than 5 people are not particularly large. At least compared with the home stadiums of Atletico Madrid and Southampton, this stadium looks bigger. a lot of.

The fans of both sides who had already entered the stadium began to shout loudly. This game is the last game worth playing for Southampton, but for Atletico Madrid, they still have the last round of La Liga to fight for- — Now they are ranked fourth, but they are only one point ahead of Malaga, which is fifth. If one is not careful, they will still lose their qualification for the Champions League.

Everyone knows how big the income difference between the Champions League and the Europa League is.

For Simeone, this game is very important, but the next game is equally important.

"Are you going to compete for the top four in La Liga in a few days? It's really hard." Ji Ya said when shaking hands with Simeone.

Simeone smiled and didn't say much.

At this time, it is actually very difficult to influence him with words. No matter how difficult the situation is, any head coach will play games that can be played first at this time.

"Players from both sides are on the field! Southampton sent their entire main lineup this season! Goalkeeper Keylor Navas, defenders Klein, Blind, Lovren and Fonte! Midfielders Matuidi, Dembele and Vidal, forward William, James Rodriguez and Klose! And Atletico Madrid is not to be outdone, the goalkeeper is Courtois who is on loan from Chelsea, and the defenders are Juanfran and Felipe. The South American combination of Godin and Miranda in the middle, the midfielder Gabi and Suarez are the double midfielders, the wings are Turan and Adrian, the midfielder Diego, and the forward Falcao!"

"Both sides actually have a lot of South American elements. Needless to say, Atletico Madrid, the striker and midfielder are all South American players, as well as their central defender partner, and Southampton's two wingers and midfielder Vidal are also from South America. , This makes them have sufficient technical elements in the frontcourt. Although Klose is not good at technology, he is a very good assisting center. Atletico Madrid's Turan and Adrian are also quite good in technology, presumably This game will be a wonderful technical confrontation."

The commentators commented on this game one after another. Judging from the statistics, this game will definitely be very exciting, because the offensive capabilities of both sides seem to be very good.

Both sides showed their characteristics from the very beginning of the game.

Their real characteristics, not some false characteristics from the data.

Southampton, who took the lead to kick off, quickly launched an attack. They played very fast this time, but Atletico Madrid's defense was also quite fast. When Klose received the ball, Miranda had already entangled strongly. Come up, the Brazilian defender is still quite fierce defensively.

Klose did not entangle with the opponent, this is not what he is good at, so he quickly distributed the ball, Vidal took the ball and was immediately pressed by Gabi, Vidal also quickly kicked the ball to the side , William made a cross, and Ronaldo volleyed the goal under the interference of Juanfran.

"You're right, the defense of these guys is really strong." Benelli took a deep breath.

In the series of offenses just now, almost every Southampton player received very effective and strong interference at the first time when they got the ball. Although their offense was finally successful, there was a little bit of poor delivery. place, the ball will be intercepted midway.

This is indeed surprising.

"It's okay, they can't always do this kind of defense, so we have to pass the ball and consume their physical energy... There is no rush for such a final." Ji Ya said.

On the field, it was Atletico Madrid's turn to attack. In the interception of the Southampton midfielder, they quickly passed the ball to Turan in the frontcourt. Turan, who switched to the left, took the ball and passed it. , Adrian, who went forward, nodded and hit the goal high.

"Their attacking tempo is really fast and clean," Benelli said.

"Yeah, that's why I said their tactics are a bit interesting, maybe they will surprise everyone later." Ji Ya laughed.

Southampton soon began to slow down the pace of the game after attacking once each at the opening.

They began to pass back and forth constantly, looking for opportunities by passing the ball, and Atletico Madrid also looked very patient and started defending in their own half.

"Maybe it's the reason why Atletico Madrid's defense just now was very aggressive. Southampton's ball possession attack has begun... Now many teams are learning Barcelona's ball possession attack tactics, but few can learn very similarly. Southampton It can only be used occasionally in some games to see how their possession attack is."

Simeone, who had been sitting firmly in his seat, couldn't help turning his head to look at Kiya. He wasn't surprised or worried, but felt that he was about to sleep when the other party brought him a pillow... …

Wasn't it just a coincidence that he was worried that no good opponent would try his own pressing tactics?

Although it is a bit funny to experiment with new tactics in such an important game, his pressing tactics happen to be useful tactics against Southampton's possession tactics. Even if it is an experiment, it should be tested in such an environment!

So he watched Southampton's ball possession attack coldly for 5 minutes before launching a pass attack and then failed, then called a player and said a few words to him.

Atlético started to attack, this time also very fast, Turan passed the ball to Diego, Diego picked a pass to the penalty area, Lovren rushed the ball in front of Falcao, followed by Turan with a kick Long shot, the ball was confiscated by Navas.

Simeone stood up.

Now is the time to press up front.

If Southampton attack with long balls, leave him alone.

If Southampton wants to organize the ground pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, run faster and press wildly!

Simeone has been thinking about this defensive tactic for a long time.

The basis is to separate the high-position press, a full-court press tactic that needs to be practiced to a certain extent.

The frontcourt presses the frontcourt, and the backcourt presses the backcourt.

The advantage of doing this is that you don’t need everyone to work together. The full-court pressing tactics that became popular in the 90s of the last century are actually very demanding. Press the opponent to gain a greater advantage.

Such a tactic won't work when a weak team is facing a strong team. If the whole court is pressed down, they may collapse early.

And the tactic Simeone pondered is based on his weaker strength and how to deal with strong teams more efficiently!
