Chapter 301: Griezmann!!

Flores was frightened enough by Luton's counter-attack.

Thankfully, De Gea did a great job!

Truth be told, Flores has to admit De Gea's talent – the kid's reaction speed is just amazing.

At just 18 years old, De Gea is too young to be considered a young goalkeeper, most of whom are still in the academy or may be loaned out to teams in the lower leagues, and now De Gea has gradually squeezed the team's original first-choice goalkeeper Asenjo to the edge.

But in fact, Flores has never been too reassuring for De Gea, he is too young after all, the position of goalkeeper is very experienced, and the goalkeeper is generally at his peak when he is thirty years old.

And Flores also knows that even if De Gea is really in good form now, he can't pin his hopes on the young goalkeeper - the risk is too great!

Flores saw Luton's tactical thinking clearly.

As soon as the ball passed halfway, Luton made Atletico Madrid's ball-handler very awkward with close pressing and actions on the edge of fouls.

This made Flores anxious off the pitch, let alone the Atletico Madrid players on the pitch.

Luton's counter-attack just now was a sign that the mentality of Atletico Madrid's players was getting more and more anxious.

Jurado's forward pass to Reyes was a bit of a rush to move forward – in fact, Jurado didn't fully understand Reyes' position and the situation around him at the time.

Now the players are in a hurry, and the result of forcing the attack is that they are likely to be counter-attacked and conceded, and for Atletico Madrid, the restless mentality is the most deadly.

Flores knows how dangerous it can be to go on like this – Luton's counter-attack has bared its fangs, this time thanks to De Gea's supernatural play, so what about next time?

So the manager of Atletico Madrid immediately made a change.

He walked to the sidelines and called the captain of the field, Antonio López, over to teach him a face-to-face opportunity.

"Tell everyone! Don't be in a hurry!! Since the opponent is defending so intensively in the midfield, we don't want to bump into it, we can't let them play with defensive confidence! ”

"We retreat first, slowly pass in the back, wear down their patience, wear down their attention, wait for the right time!!"

"When?!" López asked.

"Wait until their attention is not as focused as it is now!!"

Flores said!

Lopes nodded, he understood what the manager meant, and immediately returned to the field to pass on the manager's instructions to the players on the field.

Flores sat back in the dugout, and he had to admit that Gao Bo's move was indeed completely aimed at Atletico Madrid, and it worked well.

However, there was still a long way to go, and Flores didn't believe Luton's hairy boys would be able to endure it.

They'll definitely not be able to help it!

Flores took a sip of water, and he looked at Gao Bo not far away.

I've made a move!

It's your turn.

Gao Bo!

.............

Vardy was also very upset that he didn't make the most of the opportunity.

However, the rest of the Luton players have been boosted by confidence.

Because their tactical effect has already been seen, the defense is very targeted, and the counterattack is quite deadly.

If you keep playing like that, it's a sure thing to score.

The players were full of confidence and they returned to half-time and continued to wait for Atletico Madrid to press again.

However, after the game restarted, Atletico Madrid did not press the half-court attack as before, but shrunk in their own backfield to pass, and even Jurado, Simao, Reyes and others went back.

Luton's players looked at each other.

What the hell is Atletico Madrid doing?

Gao Bo naturally saw the changes in Atletico Madrid, and he remembered the scene when Flores called Lopes over to teach him in person.

It seems that the other party reacted quickly, right?

Gao Bo admired Flores a little, and if the other party didn't change even though he knew that he had a loophole, Gao Bo would probably be more than happy to let him know what the consequences of stubbornness were.

But Gao Bo is not unprepared for this!

He knows the characteristics of his players and of course Luton's weaknesses.

Youngster-dominated teams are inevitably prone to lack of concentration, and if Atletico Madrid were to slowly reverse the pass at the back, and then suddenly take advantage of the Luton players' distraction, it would not be too surprising to concede a goal with the quality of their strikers.

However, since the opponent has made a move, then his own side will naturally take the move!

Gao Bo raised his right hand on the sidelines and made a gesture.

This is a code that was negotiated with the players before the game.

When preparing for the game, the team naturally can't just prepare a set of plans - any plan may be risky, and there are so many accidents in football matches, in case the team accidentally loses the ball, or various situations may arise on the field at any time, how to deal with these situations, and the various possibilities that can be thought of before the game, Gao Bo has a set of countermeasures and makes the players familiar with it in training.

It's hard to do it if you're in the best hands, but it's Gao Bo's attitude to be as thoughtful as possible, taking into account all the possibilities and details.

So when the players saw Gao Bo's gesture, they immediately knew what to do.

........

After Jurado retreated into the second half, he was really like a fish in water.

The Luton player, who had been pestering him before, did not press at this time, which allowed Jurado to get some space at the back.

For the manager's arrangement, Jurado is still resolute, and he feels that what Flores said also makes sense.

Since the opponent has just fought a counterattack now, it is also necessary to avoid sharp energy.

Most of Atletico Madrid's players are over 27 or 8 years old, and they know how to deal with a young team like Luton.

Avoid their edges, surprise them, and hit them with sudden rhythmic changes!

What Atletico Madrid is doing now is to let the young people of Luton slowly dissipate the spirit they have accumulated since the start of the game.

Perea passed the ball to Jurado, who turned the ball around and prepared to distribute it to the right side.

However, at this moment, Perea's face changed.

"Be careful!!!

Jurado quickly shielded the ball and he turned to look, only to see that Vardy had rushed in front of him.

The Luton striker poked the ball and it was stabbed and it was picked up by Perea.

However, Vardy did not slow down and continued to rush towards Perea!

Perea hurriedly saw that Luton's formation had pressed up, and the front and even the contact points on the left and right did not look safe.

He hurriedly passed the ball back to De Gea!

The young David De Gea was also a little scrambling against the rushing Jamie Vardy, who scurried the ball towards the touchline and kicked it wide.

The players of Atletico Madrid haven't had time to catch their breath yet!

Adam on the wing has already driven the ball out of the touchline!

Drinkwater passes the ball to Adam again!

Adam sits the ball down the ribs of the box.

The two completed a quick two-by-one!

Drinkwater didn't stop the ball in the box, he went straight back to the top of the box!

Griezmann, who was cruising here, also ran up and before the Atletico Madrid defence could react, he passed the ball straight to the feet of Vardy in the box.

Vardy flicked the ball to the right again.

Griezmann rushed up and shot directly with his right foot!

Not to mention De Gea, even if it is an immortal, there is nothing to be done!

The ball rushed into the goal from the top right corner!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!”

The first commentator to react was Rentkinson.

This was followed by deafening cheers from the audience.

Griezmann knew it was a goal when he shot again!

He ran to the sideline with his arms outstretched, only to be pulled over by Jamie Vardy halfway through.

Then Vardy pressed up..........

While they celebrated wildly, the Atletico Madrid players were completely stunned.

In the blink of an eye, they are behind?
