Chapter 34: Atletico's Isolation Tactics

The action is a little more restrained, I've been watching! ”

Before the game, the referee was sternly warning the captains of both sides.

Yi Le and Atletico Madrid nodded their heads to Godin.

In this pizza, Yile assumed the responsibility of captain on the field.

Thiago. Silva was unable to play due to injury problems, and he personally named Yile to take the captaincy.

Despite the presence of Neymar and Marquinhos, he still chose Yile, which he felt had a kind of magic and was always infecting the team.

Guessing the heads and tails of the coin, Yi Le guessed correctly, and he chose the ball.

Finally, he shook hands with the manager, the linesman and the opposing captain Godin, and returned to his own half.

The game is about to start, and the cheers in the stands are getting louder and louder.

Yi Le applauded loudly, boosting morale, and he didn't know how to encourage them, so he simply slapped them on the back one by one, and the teammates grinned at each other, but the effect was quite good.

On the French commentary stage, the old Monet watched Yi Le wear the captain's armband, and said with a smile: "I feel that Yi is very suitable for being the captain!" ”

Mitches grinned, "I hope he doesn't get overly excited, his forehead is used where it is needed!" ”

Hearing this, old Monet couldn't help but be happy.

Starting line-ups for both sides:

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Oblak.

Defenders: Juanfran , Godin, Jimenez, Arias.

Midfielders: Lemar, Rodri. Hernandez, Saul, Cork.

Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata.

......

Paris Saint-Germain (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Defenders: Meunier, Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Bernart.

Midfielders: Yile, N'Golo Kante, Di Maria, Neymar, Mbappe.

Striker: Edinson Cavani

Seeing the lineup on both sides, Mitches was surprised: "Marquinhos is back at the back. ”

It has been clear from previous games that Villas-Boas are deliberately looking to transform Marquinhos into a central midfielder.

But in this game, he returned to the position of defender.

In this regard, the elder Monet said: "Thiago is not on the field, the back line needs a stable player, I think Boas wants to make Marquinhos the backbone of the Paris defence. ”

Mitches nodded and said: "Attacking, we don't need to worry, Yi, Di Maria, Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani are all on the field, it can be said that this is the strongest offensive lineup in Paris!" ”

"It's a pity that Yi is back in the midfield, in fact, I would prefer to see him play as a central midfielder, where he is always a battlefield." As he spoke, old Monet couldn't help but laugh and said: "He doesn't look like a wise commander, but more like a warrior who charges into battle!" ”

"Yi likes to fight bayonets, which is also the basis of his midfield suppression, after the retreat of the modern football organization, it is far less hot than the previous midfield fight! But every game that Yi is present, he will recreate the kind of hot football he used to have! ”

Old Monet nodded in agreement: "That's why we like him." ”

"However, this time, Yi Ke is not comfortable!" Mitches frowned: "Atletico Madrid's steel defense is famous, and in order to limit Yi, Simeone even lined up a 4-4-2 formation, which seems to be competing for the rhythm of the midfield, but in fact it is to further consolidate Atletico's backline." ”

"The crowd is dense, and this is likely to directly abolish Yi's through ball!"

"Not only that, but Atletico Madrid's single defense and co-defense ability are very strong, which is like putting a wall in front of Paris, and it is much more difficult to break into the big penalty area."

The more the two talked, the more uncomfortable they became, mainly because in many ways, Atletico Madrid was really restrained from Paris.

They can't find any breakthroughs, and the only thing they can count on is the performance of their own players.

......

Beep!!!

At the beginning of the game, Cavani drove the ball and passed it to Neymar, who passed it back to Yile, who continued to pass back.

Yile did not rush forward, and Neymar and Mbappe did not enter the hinterland of the other party.

After waiting for Atletico's two strikers to come in, the ball returned to the feet of Yi Le, who did not pass forward, but still passed to the left.

The overall line-up of Paris is biased backwards, and there is no aggressive posture at all.

Seeing this scene, old Monet secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yi is very calm, he keeps using the transfer to lure the opposing players to come forward!" ”

What he is most afraid of is that Yi Le's brain is hot, and he rushes directly to be tough with others.

If it were another team, it would have been just right, but Atletico Madrid were not among them, and their defence and sharp counter-attacks have always been the winning formula.

Mitches watched Paris keep moving, but Atletico Madrid did not waver, and couldn't help but worry: "Atletico Madrid is not fooled, they know very well what Yi is doing, obviously they have predicted this situation before the game, Paris is going to attack, but Atletico Madrid is just like seeing Paris attack, this ....."

Mitches was completely numb, and at the beginning of the game, it seemed that Paris was trying to hold the ball, but judging from the situation on the field, they were very passive.

Yi Le also sensed the opponent's intentions, and Atletico's defence was tightly arranged, and there was not a single gap for him to complete a long pass.

The players were in dense positions and the through ball was scrapped.

And the actions of these Atletico players seem to be sending a signal.

'Isn't your offense strong?' Come on! ’

Well, Yile does have some unbearable feelings.

In the current situation, both sides are playing soy sauce, and since Atletico Madrid is asking for a tough match, then they will not be cowardly.

Yi Le immediately passed the ball to Neymar and then began to run forward.

It's like a signal that Paris is going on the offensive.

"Yi passed the ball to Neymar, and the forward line began to penetrate gradually, which is a common method in the attack of Paris, using the two wings to constantly probe, and finally Yi completed the deadly pass!"

Seeing Yi Le's movements, old Monet hurriedly shouted.

Mitches also said with a solemn face: "But the problem is that Atletico Madrid is very calm, they didn't mess up because of one of our attacks, but they looked like they had been waiting for a long time." ”

Something is wrong!

As soon as Yile ran into the opposition half, Atletico's backline began to change.

They seem to have completely abandoned the help defense, adopting a one-on-one defensive posture and blocking directly from the area.

Isolation tactics!

Yi Le almost scolded his mother, Atletico Madrid was the one who was isolating the ball.

Yile has been targeted by this tactic and is therefore well aware of how difficult it can be.

And Atletico are obviously better, their good discipline allows them to completely mark, surround and isolate in a short period of time, directly cutting off the link between the player with the ball and his teammates.

Before he could take a few steps, he ran straight behind Neymar.

Before Griezmann could run back to close the last gap, he hurriedly called for a return pass.

Neymar also understood what was going on, and he directly gave up the attack and passed it back to Yile.

After receiving the ball, Yile shifted his big foot, but was still tackled by Griezmann.

Falling to the ground, Yi Le's expression was a little heavy, and despite surviving this crisis, Atletico's isolation tactics made his head feel big.

At this time, Griezmann, who had tackled himself, stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand, trying to help himself up, and Yile became even more depressed.
