Step by Step to Win - Chapter 523
For Wolfsburg, the battle with Atletico is a life and death battle for them. If they can get good enough results in this game, they may directly enter the Champions League final. In the face of such a game, Wolfsburg will naturally not have any possible mercy. In this game, tactical fouling is not an unselectable means. When the defense is not solid enough, it will be one or two. Second, the Wolfsburg players are not particularly opposed.
After all, after a season, Wolfsburg’s results have not been particularly outstanding. In the league, they have been defeated. The Champions League is their last hope. They are also full of fighting spirit. In order to win this game, they have to carry a few yellow cards. It is really not a problem. If even this kind of consciousness is not a problem. No, it is impossible for Wolfsburg to stick to this point.
The measures of Wolfsburg also made Atletico endure a lot. During the game, they also realized for the first time how painful a foul is. When Wolfsburg cast a bronze wall and iron wall in its own half, and could not defend it, while still insisting on using fouls to make up for all deficiencies, Atletico’s offensive methods seemed to have lost its original effect at this time. .
In fact, perhaps for Atletico Madrid, a team like Wolfsburg is the opponent they most hate to encounter. Atletico’s usual moves are of no use to Wolfsburg. Faced with a header from Wolfsburg, it is difficult for them to take advantage. Cooperating with the ground ball, it is equally difficult to succeed in the face of an enemy that cannot be defended. Set-kick Atletico has always been excellent, but the efficiency of set-kick scoring was not very high, and Wolfsburg also took a fancy to set-kick in this game. During the game, they naturally refused to give Atletico Madrid the slightest chance.
This team. The restraint on Atletico Madrid is quite in place, and the players of Atletico Madrid are extremely helpless. They are in a season. No matter it is against Real Madrid or Barcelona, they have never had such an embarrassing experience. Their counterattacks, headers, and set-ups have the upper hand against the Western Super League duo. However, such an advantage seemed to disappear when facing Wolfsburg. As the same dark horse team. It is too difficult for Atletico Madrid to gnaw at Wolfsburg.
And these offenses are not working, Atletico is naturally completely helpless. In the second half of the game, Ma Jing attacked again and again, but their attacks could not break through Wolfsburg’s defense. The score of 1-1 has not changed. It was in the 50th minute, and in the 80th minute, it was such a score. Still no change. With all their strength, Atletico Madrid can hardly find a breakthrough opportunity to make this game more beneficial to them.
The game against Wolfsburg. After all, Atletico Madrid failed to grasp the situation, the game developed in accordance with the idea of Wolfsburg, did not exceed their expectations. Time passed by every minute and every second. Atletico Madrid players are getting worse and worse, 70 minutes later. Atletico Madrid players began to show some signs of contraction, and after 80 minutes. Atletico Madrid players, after all, could no longer maintain a strong offense, and had to slow down the pace of the attack.
Double matches a week are not so easy after all. Atletico Madrid’s tactics require Atletico Madrid players to perform a lot of running and confrontation in each game, which also makes them consume a lot of physical strength. Fighting on the two fronts, one side is the top of the league table, and the other is the Champions League semi-finals. This is also the physical strength of Atletico Madrid for their players. But at this time, their physical strength can no longer be overdrawn after all. In an 80-minute away game, even the best players will have a lot of physical exertion, and Atletico’s overall age level is not low, they naturally can’t play so smoothly anymore.
Looking at the status of the players, Simeone was helpless. He knew that Wolf Castle would not miss any chance, he had to make adjustments, otherwise he would just die. Time was delayed to 80 minutes. Atletico had to make adjustments and substitutions. Excessive physical exertion also made Atletico Madrid a little unable to hold it. They were able to hold it within 80 minutes, but the passage of time made their players more and more unable to hold it. The players’ range of running was reduced and confrontation. The ability to drop, the counterattack cannot keep up, and the accuracy of kicking is no longer as good as the opening. In all aspects, Atletico is not as good as the opening, and has to rely on substitutions to solve the problem.
At this time, Atletico also made two substitutions, one is the forward line, they replaced forward Villa, replaced by another substitute forward Adrian. The other substitution was to replace Juan Fran and Aldweirelder.
These two substitutions can be said to be quite helpless choices: if Simeone had a choice, he would definitely not do it.
The main lineup of Atletico Madrid is quite good, but there are not many outstanding players in their rotation lineup. On the bench, Atletico’s strongest players are Brazil’s Diego, Uruguay’s Rodriguez, Spain’s Mario Suarez, plus these two players on the field, they are almost all available substitutes. Among these people, several others are midfielders. In this game, Simeone first needs to make adjustments, obviously not midfielders.
His first adjustment was made for the backcourt. Juan Fran was the first to be replaced by him during the game: this substitution looks a bit weird, but if you think about the physical strength of Atletico, you know it’s a must.
The physical strength of the Atletico Madrid players is very exhausted because of the two-line combat. The player Juan Fran was the first to have physical problems this week. In the mid-week game, Juan Fran had already had his physical strength problems, resulting in insufficient defense in the final stage of the game, and had to rely on red cards to stop the opponent’s offense. That defensive time was enough to see his physical strength problems, and this kind of physical strength still had to play double games a week, so Simeone naturally did not dare to let him stay on the court for overtime.
Therefore, Simeone had to replace him, although he was very clear that Aldweireld is unlikely to replace Juan Fran on the field. Although the reputation of this player is not small, and because of his handsome appearance, he has also attracted a lot of attention, but after all, the strength of the football field and the handsomeness of the football field are not related to each other, so he is willing to reuse Costa’s. The team naturally does not understand this. Although this defender looks good, but his strength is a little far behind, this is also an important reason why he can only be a substitute.
Atletico’s bench, after all, is still a little weaker. In fact, not only is his strength slightly weaker, but another substitute, Adrian, is also a substitute that makes Simon you not satisfied.
Adrian has always been regarded as the top forward candidate in the future. He became famous in Deportivo that year and turned to Atletico. He played in the striker’s top training camp. At one time, he felt that he was quite good. Hope to become the next world-class superstar. However, time has passed for a long time, but he has never become the top striker that people want. Diego Costa, who used to be a coolie at Atletico Madrid, has now transformed into a superstar worth 40 million yuan, and this star one year older than him has not yet succeeded, I am afraid I really want to. It is not so easy to become famous.
The overall strength of this player is indeed somewhat average. In terms of physical conditions, he is not particularly advantageous, nor does he have the top level technically, and he has no extraordinary ability when playing football. Although the running position and passing control are considered top-notch, but the missed shot technique is somewhat incapable of shooting, which also makes the player’s position a bit awkward.
Players like him can actually be regarded as traditional players produced in Spain. Speaking of which, they can be regarded as a weakened version of Raul. However, such a player is very unsuitable for playing 433. The inability to be a single arrow makes him a player with a double forward tactic. The physical fitness and lack of confrontation make him unable to do dirty work in the frontcourt. Such players are largely running positions, waiting to eat ready-made passes, and for such things, Atletico has very good experience and strength in Villa, and naturally it is not his turn to be the main force.
However, Villa’s age is a bit older after all. Persist in playing the whole game in the game, even playing overtime, this is not something that an old forward can do. Simeone also understands that after 80 minutes, letting him stick to the frontcourt is of little significance to the team. Instead of pinning all hopes on him, it is better to let Adrian play and try. See if you can make the ball through Costa retreat and find a chance to score.
In fact, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ even in overtime, Simeone still did not give up the idea of attacking. In my heart, he still hopes to win this game. It is precisely because of this that he didn’t make the last substitution: how to substitute in the midfield, he still wants to wait and see.
Is it to replace Diego with the best set-piece, or to use Rodriguez, who has an excellent breakthrough level and an active fight? This substitution, after all, depends on the situation. Of course, maybe the final result may be that Wolfsburg’s players are too strong offensively. He has to replace one of Atletico’s two 30-year-old midfielders with Mario Suarez to strengthen the defense. Strive for a chance to win a penalty kick. It’s not impossible that things like that happen.
However, Simeone still doesn’t believe it very much in his psychology. After all, Wolfsburg’s offense is not very strong, and this is also confirmed in the game. Even if Atletico’s physical strength is almost exhausted, can Wolfsburg be able to win easily? In this regard, Simeone still has some hopes by fluke. After all, 90 minutes have passed since the game, and the players of Wolfsburg are estimated to be equally tired.
When he thought about it, the exhausted Wolf Fort might not have too strong an offensive-however, such thoughts, with the attack of the Wolf Fort, immediately disappeared. (To be continued.)
