"Toni Kroos takes the ball in midfield and moves a long diagonal pass to the right"

"Suarez, nice turn, get rid of Felipe, accelerate, cross!"

'Ibrahimovic picks up ...... in the middle'

"Beautiful! Otamendi, very beautiful around the front defense, clear the ball early! ”

"But the ball didn't fly far, it still fell at the feet of Southampton, Modric passed back to the back line and reorganized!"

'Southampton have a very clear advantage in possession and Atletico Madrid are very passive.

"Here we go again, Xavi Martinez's long pass from the back has found Ibrahimovic!"

"The Swedish center striker gave Kaka back and stuffed it straight behind him, and it was Suarez who cut it diagonally into the ribs from the right side!"

"Courtois made a decisive attack and cleared the ball, which can be regarded as another crisis!"

'Southampton have a lot of attacking means and are the most attacking team in the Champions League this season, they have scored in every game in the Champions League and they are in very good form.

'But Atletico Madrid are no slouch, they are one of the best defensive teams in the Champions League.

"Therefore, this season's Champions League final, although it is two dark horse teams, its strength is not weak at all, and it is known as the strongest spear in the Champions League and a strong showdown with the strongest shield!"

"The game was completely heated from the start, and now that it's been five minutes, we haven't had time to tell you a bit about the starting line-ups for both teams......

"Look, Southampton is attacking again, and the Saints have the intention of swallowing Atletico Madrid in one go!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the on-site commentators at the Stadium of Light, nearly 60,000 people in the stadium, their emotions all fluctuated with the situation of the game, and every attack of Southampton was enough to hold their breath.

The narrator is right, this is a duel between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

Every player on the football field must concentrate on every confrontation and every competition.

Think about it, these spectators sitting on the sidelines are so nervous, aren't the players on the pitch ten times more nervous than them?

A beep was heard, and the referee blew the whistle for a foul.

Tevez tripped Luka Modric on a return and was signalled for a foul by the referee.

The Argentine beast did not plead, reached for Modric and took two steps back, but the ball was released again, and he immediately pounced on Modric and Toni Kroos.

This guy is notoriously desperate!

But it can also be seen that although the two teams are close, Simeone is still using foul tactics in order to win the game.

At best, it's a signal for the players to move cleanly, which is already pretty good!

You know, playing technology, Atletico Madrid's midfield is indeed good, but the front and back, compared with Southampton's overall control play, there is still a big gap.

Therefore, if you really want to play a control style of play, Atletico Madrid will definitely be beaten by Southampton.

Therefore, Simeone's tactics are simple, rough and direct, and I will use defensive counter-attacks and foul tactics.

That's what Atletico Madrid does best.

"There is no problem with the starting tactics of the two managers, although Southampton started the game, they were also on guard against Atletico Madrid's counterattack, and the Sheets were based on defense, but once they seized the opportunity, the counterattack was also very resolute!"

"There is nothing wrong with the contest between these two European coaches on a tactical level."

After attacking a few points, Southampton also seemed to realize that Atletico Madrid's opening tactics were quite targeted, and the defense was also very solid, and it was basically impossible to eat the opponent in one bite.

Therefore, after Tony Cross and the others made eye and gesture exchanges with Bielsa, they stopped attacking.

The pace slowed down, and everyone in the Stadium of Light breathed a sigh of relief.

From the very beginning of the game, the Saints held their breath and attacked with their lives.

And what about Atletico Madrid?

Although he was playing with his life, he didn't mean to retreat to the half court at all, but used his best active running and pressing to defend, and the scene was not ugly.

Although neither team could score, it made everyone in the stadium breathe a sigh of relief and worry about them.

Now that the pace has slowed down, everyone has relaxed.

"Alright, now it's finally time to introduce the starting lineups of both teams."

"Atletico Madrid made changes to the starting line-up for this game, the goalkeeper is Courtois, the back line remains the same, from left to right is Felipe, Godin, Otamendi and Juanfran are also the iron defense of Atletico Madrid."

"But in terms of midfield, Simeone has adopted a four-midfield tactic, from left to right, Isco, Gabi, Ilia Ramendi and Koke, and it is clear that Gabi is because the Atletico Madrid captain is more experienced, and his role in the midfield is quite large, and it is most appropriate for him to be in charge of the midfield."

'In fact, Gabby did a good job of directing his team-mates when he was tackling Southampton after the opening kick-off.

'The two strikers up front were Diego Costa and Carlos Tevez, with French striker Antoine Griezmann left on the bench.

"These two strikers are also very defensively aggressive, which is also a big feature of Atletico Madrid, from the front to the back, each player has a strong sense of defense, which makes the overall defensive quality of Atletico Madrid very high."

"Compared with the adjustment of Atletico Madrid, Southampton still adopts the four-three-three tactics that they are best at."

'The goalkeeper is Manuel Neuer and the backline is David Alaba, Xavi Martinez, Raphael Varane and Danilo.

'Starting with Danilo instead of Cesar Azpilicueta proves that Bielsa knows very well that the biggest problem for Southampton in this game is not to defend, but to attack.

"The midfield has not changed at the back, it is still a combination of Modric and Toni Kroos, but the more experienced Kaka has been arranged to start in the middle of the front, and the Brazilian midfielder has greatly improved his competitive form after a long recovery after a transfer to Southampton, and has returned to the Brazilian national team."

'The front three, Eden Hazard, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Suarez, which are also Southampton's main attacking line-up in the Champions League this season, and it has been reported that this will be Ibrahimovic's last season at Southampton.

But just after the commentator introduced the squads of the two teams, Southampton launched another attack at the back.

This time, it was right-back Danilo who burst on the ball down the right flank and quickly crossed the halfway line to Atletico Madrid.

As soon as Danilo passed the half, all the Southampton players who appeared in the Atletico Madrid half, as well as in the area before and after the halfway, suddenly became active, and they all began to rush forward one by one.

After the Brazilian right-back came up, he immediately kicked the ball forward and passed it to Suarez, who was pulled to the side, so scared that Felipe quickly stuck the position, and Danilo himself took the opportunity to slant into Atletico Madrid's ribs.

Suarez is also a smart person, and he has been cooperating with Danilo for a year, and he has long had a tacit understanding that as soon as he receives the ball, he will knock it back immediately.

The pair formed a beautiful one-two on the right flank.

However, Gabi was experienced and blocked Danilo's diagonal path into the box early, forcing Danilo to knock the ball back to Kaka behind him.

Kaka kicked the ball out and passed it to the feet of Ibrahimovic, who was pulled to the edge of the penalty area.

The Swedish centre-forward used his body to block Godin and then turned to pick up a pass to the left behind the Atletico Madrid defence.

Eden Hazard chased the ball quickly and when he received it, he was about to cross.

But Otamendi was also fast, one fell to the ground and put a tackle, and the two took the ball to knock Hazard to the ground, and the ball also went out of the bottom line.

The referee awarded Atletico Madrid's goal kick, which immediately made Southampton very unhappy.

However, judging from the slow motion of the game, it was indeed Otamendi who kicked the ball to Hazard when he cleared the ball, and then popped off the bottom line.

Yang Huan sat in the chairman's stand, and when he saw the scene where Otamendi turned around and chased back to the bottom line just now and shoveled Hazard to the ground, he couldn't help but praise repeatedly, "This kid is really a tiger general!" ”

Isn't it?

Just now, he was still assisting in defense behind Ibrahimovic, and after seeing the pass from the Swedish center, he immediately turned around and chased back, destroying Hazard's dribbling in front of the bottom line, this part of the speed, this part of the decisiveness and resoluteness, Otamendi deserves the title of tiger general.

Speaking of which, Otamendi is also more cowardly.

became famous very early, and it was already spread throughout European football in 2009, but the worst thing is that in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Maradona, who played football and was only a mortal, forced him to the right side.

As a result, Otamendi was directly exposed by his opponent on the right flank.

Yang Huan even clearly remembered that in his previous life, domestic fans hated Otamendi so much that they had a toothache.

As for the FM party, they have a lot of hatred for Otamendi.

But speaking of which, this guy is also tough, and after transferring to Porto, he has shown a very high level.

As it turned out, his best fit was at centre-back.

As for height, Otamendi's height is the same as that of central defenders such as Puyol, Ayala and Cannavaro, they are not tall, they are all stream-of-consciousness, and their feet are frizzy, but now they are only 26 years old, and there is still room for improvement.

Don't you see, weren't Ramos and Pepe also defensive teams back then, and they were so frizzy?

Puyol, Ayala, Cannavaro, when these guys are twenty-five or sixteen years old, which one is not frizzy?

It's just that the media at that time was not as developed as it is now, and the focus was generally on the midfield, so the backline players were relatively indifferent, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it.

Where is like now, every move is infinitely magnified.

And, judging from the current situation, Otamendi's performance at Atletico Madrid is becoming more and more solid and better.

With Miranda released in the new season, Otamendi is officially on the top and has become the defensive thigh of the Sheets.

"Young Master Huan, what is your mood now?"

Platini, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, suddenly asked with a little bad taste.

When Yang Huan heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly, "What mood?" What mood can I have? ”

In fact, his mood at this moment is really hard to say.

If you want to say regrets, it's really quite a legacy? Target.

If Hazard's ball had come out just now, Suarez would have followed up, and the chances would have been great.

But if the Saints score a goal, wouldn't Atletico Madrid be crippled?

You know, in terms of overall strength, Atletico Madrid is still slightly inferior to Southampton.

So, Yang Huan's feelings are very complicated now.

It even reminded him of a joke, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Eh, Michelle, let me ask you a question!"

"Huh? Okay, you ask! "There's something strange about Platini.

"If your wife and your mother fall into the water at the same time, may I ask, who will you save first?"

Platini was depressed, what was the problem?

But soon, he figured out that the question that Young Master Huan asked was not just talking about his current mood?

The UEFA president suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Huan, I can't swim, but my mother and my wife are both strong swimmers!" ”

"Uh......"

Yang Huan was speechless.
