Chapter 210 Adjustments

Atletico Madrid really should be disappointed.

Because it's been a long time since they've been so pressed by a team, even in La Liga, against Barcelona and Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid has probably not been so embarrassed for a long time.

Bayern Munich were in complete control, their constant passing, constantly tearing apart the Atletico Madrid defence, and the Atletico Madrid players, who were mainly defending, could only keep moving their own defence with the football.

Tired!

This is the collective feeling of the players at Atletico Madrid.

Despite only 45 minutes of play, the players who were struggling defensively had to put in a lot of movement to keep their formation intact and compact.

With Bayern Munich in possession and with the ball at their feet, they made the most of the width of the pitch, with Bayern's two full-backs, Lahm and Raphinha, clinging to the touchline when Bayern attacked, while in midfield, under the control of two experienced players, Xavi Alonso and Schweinsteiger, Bayern Munich consumed Atletico Madrid through constant left and right scheduling.

Bayern moved to the left, and Atletico Madrid's entire defense had to collectively lean to the left, and the same was true to the right. This means that Bayern Munich's tight pass will make all the Atletico Madrid players have to move their positions quickly. That's the benefit of being in complete control.

Although Bayern Munich did not score again in the second half of the first half, judging from the consumption of both sides, the passive defensive Atletico Madrid must have consumed much more than Bayern Munich.

Many players were still panting until they returned to the away team's dressing room, and you can imagine the pressure and consumption that Bayern Munich brought to Atletico Madrid.

In particular, the two players in midfield who are mainly responsible for defence, captain Gabi and Mario Suarez, need to run more and therefore consume a little more.

Throughout the first half of the game, Atletico Madrid was mostly on the defensive, and Li Qingshan didn't even get the ball.

………

'Now we're two goals down.

In the dressing room, after all the players were seated, Simeone said calmly.

He didn't get angry, but continued in a very calm tone.

"But that's not a reason for us to give up. It's just two goals, we have 45 minutes left, that's enough for us to score, and with our attacking quality, it's not too difficult to score one or two goals. Also, it's a two-legged knockout game and even if we lose it, as long as we get away goals, it's still a good result and we're not desperate yet. ”

Atletico Madrid were too hard pressed by Bayern Munich in the first half, and now the team needs confidence, not criticism.

'We had so few chances in the first half! It's a tough away game, but we have a way to deal with it. In the second half we played a little bit simpler, trying to create as many set-pieces as possible, and in the first half we had almost no corners! This is so undeserved! ”

"We're going to get our football out! Give them a taste of our football! ”

At the end, Simeone finally raised his tone and re-energized the team!

Li Qingshan stood up, usually at this time, after the head coach finished speaking, it was time for the captain of the team to play. However, Li Qingshan stood up at the moment, and the players were not surprised, and sometimes, the morale-boosting work was occasionally undertaken by the team's core players.

"Brothers! I didn't give up on this game! Does anyone think the same way as me! ”

"Neither do I!" Griezmann slammed up from his seat and said with his head held high.

"The taste of the Champions League is not enough to taste it once!"

"I didn't give up on the game either!"

"Fight with them!"

Soon, all the players of Atletico Madrid stood up.

At this time, it was the working time of the captain Gabi, who looked around and raised his fist: "We are Atletico Madrid!" Brothers, now ——————"

"Let them taste it!"

The players collectively shouted!

………

Bayern Munich's pre-match work was quite meticulous, and Guardiola did do a lot of work against the dangerous pair of Atletico Madrid.

The success of the race did surprise them. No one could have predicted that they would be able to score in less than three minutes, and in the first 45 minutes of the first half, Bayern Munich was very comfortable indeed.

After the break, the players began to return to the pitch one after another.

Bayern's fans are still singing loudly, while Atletico Madrid's fans are a little quiet, and they are very worried about what will happen to the team on the road. Judging from the first half of the game, Atletico Madrid's state in this game really didn't look good, which made the fans a little incomprehensible, such a passive situation, these diehard fans of Atletico Madrid rarely saw it in this Atletico Madrid team.

Even the Atletico Madrid flag was hung low and not waved by the fans, who came together and exchanged ears, worried about the team's Champions League prospects.

Under the watchful eye of the lights of the Allianz Arena, the second half of the game began.

In the first half, Bayern's two wingers, Ribery and Robben, performed very well, and Bayern's two goals were also related to the activity of these two players on the wing.

In the second half, of course, Bayern will continue to play on the side.

However, it soon became clear that they were not so smooth on the wings. It's not that Atletico Madrid has specifically strengthened their defense on the wings, but that Atletico Madrid's attack is now active.

Li Qingshan's range of activities is even greater, he is no longer limited to the middle, but often cruising to the two sides to catch the ball.

Facing the physically strong Li Qingshan, even Bayern's two central defenders will find it difficult to take advantage of the confrontation, let alone their full-backs. In this case, both Arjen Robben and Ribery need to come back and help defence, and they also have to take on more defensive responsibilities.

The rest of Atletico Madrid's players were also more aggressive, and after half-time adjustments, Atletico Madrid finally got out of the slump of the first half and began to be active in attack.

In the 50th minute, after Bayern Munich's attack failed, Oblak drove directly to the front with a big kick, Li Qingshan stopped the ball on the side, and then leaned on Raphinha, waiting for his teammates to press on the support.

The role of the fulcrum as a central striker is very evident at this moment.

Griezmann ran out of space, Li Qingshan passed the ball to the feet of Griezmann, who came to pick up, and then inserted it into the middle.

Antoine Griezmann also tried to cut inside and move down the middle, but Schweinsteiger and Xavi Alonso gave up on that attempt. So he made a diagonal pass to the ribs, and then handed the ball to Li Qingshan's feet.

Li Qingshan turned around after taking the ball with his back, and although the angle was already small, he still tried to shoot.

The ball was blocked by Neuer's hand and held up the bottom line.

Although the goal was not scored, it was still a great encouragement to the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene.

This shows that Atletico Madrid has also begun to be active in attack and create more chances.

Simeone also applauded Atletico Madrid's attack this time.

At the start of the second half, at least Atletico Madrid was no longer as passive as it was in the first half.
