Chapter 395: The Twin Towers
"Wow, isn't it? Too unambitious, right? ”
After the second half of the game restarted, everyone saw that Atletico Madrid still used the tactics of the last half hour of the first half, retreating to their own half to defend strictly, Yang Huan complained with a wry smile.
Atletico Madrid gave up Thiago in this game and arranged two defensive players to play the double back, which itself is a bit defensive, but if Simeone still has a little ambition after the opening and wants to score goals, then he is now too cowardly, and he is directly shrinking up to defend.
It's like a turtle retracting its head into its shell and laughing at you inside
One to zero is one of the most unsafe scorelines, especially in a final like this.
Southampton were firmly in control of the game, but in the face of Atletico Madrid's almost impregnable defense, the Saints were unable to score again.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal kept Southampton's lead until now.
"Atletico Madrid's whole tactical formation has now become a standard four-four-two, with both wide players retreating to the wing-back position and actively participating in the defence, with Falcao still at the front, pinning down Southampton's two centre-backs."
"Mario Suarez and Gabi are basically covered in the front of the big penalty area, retreating very deeply, and will not lose their position casually, the whole defensive formation is very tight, it is difficult for Southampton to effectively pass the ball in, and even create a threat"
Platini is briefing on the current situation on the pitch.
This set of tactics is simply a signature tactic of Atletico Madrid.
I don't know how many of Europe's top teams have died on this set of tactics, and Southampton has not been able to find an effective way to break Atletico Madrid's set of tactics for a while.
"Actually, Simeone's set of tactics is very suitable for Atletico Madrid's players, and if you don't have outstanding individual ability, then I will choose what is beneficial to me, and use the advantage of my tactical execution to force you into a fight."
"Once you get caught in a close fight, no matter if you are Messi, it will be difficult to show your full strength."
Yang Huan feels that Platini's analysis is still very reliable, but Southampton is not wrong with this.
Not to mention Southampton, even Barcelona have a headache when encountering this kind of tactic.
What's more, Barcelona's ability to create zào chances, the individual ability of the players, is much higher than Southampton.
"Now, Simeone is just waiting, and when Southampton can't hold on, there are mistakes and flaws, and Atletico Madrid will take the opportunity to counterattack and try to score"
In any game, there will definitely be all kinds of mistakes and flaws on both sides, and no one is inevitable.
As soon as Southampton showed a flaw and Atletico Madrid seized a chance, the score would have equalised.
Especially considering that Atletico Madrid are now retreating to their own half, forcing Southampton to press.
This situation, as long as it can be held, is quite favorable for counterattacks.
So far, the game seems to be intense, but it's a bit dull.
The two sides seem to be stuck together, inseparable, and become a kind of big brawl, but they don't have a chance.
Yang Huan couldn't help but sweep to the bottom of the stands, in the coach's seat of Southampton, Bielsa squatted motionless on the sidelines, watching the game on the field, and from time to time held the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
This action draws attention to the fact that he is not a statue.
But what was he thinking?
Is there a way to crack Simeone's defensive system?
In the dugout in Southampton, Martin Hunter was tapping quickly on the virtual keyboard on his tablet, exchanging the results of the game with his colleagues in a multimedia office at the National Stadium.
Each report, one copy after another, was transferred to the tablet, analyzed by the software, and presented in front of Martin Hunter.
Soon, Martin Hunter got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines.
"Marcelo"
Martin Hunter crouched down in front of Bielsa and handed the tablet in his hand.
'You see, in the last five minutes we have been too obsessed with the middle, which is obviously what Atletico Madrid wants us to do'
Bielsa took the tablet and glanced at the number of matches in the last five minutes, which was converted into a graph, which showed the qiē on the field very clearly.
Combined with the impressions in his mind, Bielsa knew that the number jù was right
Leaving aside the so-called percentages, the so-called numbers, the real reason was the lack of width in Southampton's attack.
Atletico Madrid defended tightly, hoping that Southampton would fight them.
Southampton's two wide players both cut inside and to create width, the full-backs had to cut forward.
However, Atletico Madrid's Turan and Adrian both did a good job of defending and kept Southampton's wings from working.
This is also the reason why Bielsa wants to bring in Gareth Bale.
Neymar, James and Rodriguez are all the kind of players who carry the ball, and there is a lack of impactful breakthroughs on the wings.
Once an opponent like Simeone is on the defensive line, Southampton really doesn't have many options.
Bielsa looked at the chart on the tablet again, switched to the Southampton player count interface, and then looked at the two teams' number jù interface, and after thinking about it, he still made a decision.
"Let Drogba warm up"
"Drogba?" Martin Hunter was taken aback.
Do you want to replace Ibrahimovic?
It was the team's goal-scorer, who single-handedly suppressed two of Atletico Madrid's central defenders.
Take him down at this time?
Make no mistake, right?
Not only Martin Hunter, but almost everyone was surprised and even a little incredulous when they saw Drogba standing on the sidelines after warming up, waiting for him to play.
"Could it be that Ibrahimovic is injured?" Charlene Lahri was in doubt when she was explaining.
But soon, the results of the substitution came out.
Drogba replaces James Rodriguez
What's going on?
"Two of the world's top center forwards are playing at the same time?" Charlene Lahri was stunned.
This is something that Southampton has never had before
They played for Southampton for one season but never played together
But now, with more than 30 minutes left before the end of the game, Bielsa replaced Drogba?
Could it be that the appeal of the fans for a season has made a difference?
The live TV camera swept over Simeone, and the Argentine tough guy was visibly taken aback.
These two centers play at the same time, can they be compatible?
This should be everyone's doubt.
Soon, however, everyone showed up and Southampton's tactics seemed to have changed.
With Ibrahimovic and Drogba at the same time, the two centre-forwards occupy the middle, but there seems to be a tacit understanding.
That is, the two of them are always one in the big forbidden area and the other outside the big forbidden area.
There have also been interesting changes in the midfield.
Neymar's position returned from the left to the middle, cruising behind and to the right of the two centre-forwards.
Stroman, Toni Kroos and Vidal all dropped back, but the two wing-backs, Alaba and Carvajal, were more aggressive in moving forward.
In this way, Southampton's tactics are a bit like four-three-one-two.
Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this change in the stands.
"Two of the world's top high school strikers are on the field at the same time, this is the Twin Towers"
Platini was also amazed, if the two center forwards are paired well, how can Atletico Madrid's defense be blocked?
Bielsa's attitude now is clear: to sue Simeone.
Okay, you retreat, if you have the ability, you retreat, I will attack to the death
Don't you like to drop back into the half, back into the box?
Then I'll put the most threatening surprise soldier in your forbidden area, and I'll see how you can defend it
It has to be said that Bielsa played beautifully, but more importantly, Southampton has such resources
Looking at the world, even top giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, who can match the two world's top center forwards, Ibrahimovic and Drogba?
Well, now, it's time for Simone to have a headache
Southampton soon went on the offensive again.
This time it was from the right flank, because there were three midfielders behind, so Carvajal rushed forward very decisively and actively participated in the attack.
Drogba ran to the top right corner of the Atletico Madrid penalty area to pick up, and Neymar also ran over.
Carvajal saw Drogba coming and immediately passed the ball to Drogba.
Behind him is Miranda, Drogba has no choice but to make a wall and pass to Neymar.
Neymar tried to cut inside with the ball, but it didn't work, and then knocked it back to the right, or to Carvajal.
Carvajal took the ball and saw Atletico Madrid left-back Felipe pressing him and immediately passed the ball back to Drogba.
This time the Atletico Madrid players were depressed
You girl, can you not keep passing it on to Drogba?
I know that you have a high school striker, and you know that your ability to make walls is unparalleled in the world, but can you not keep passing it on like this?
Gabi immediately shook off Neymar and ran towards Drogba, wanting to disturb him.
But Neymar was smart and immediately ran into the gap.
Drogba used his body to firmly suppress Miranda, protect the ball, and saw that Neymar was running empty, and immediately rushed ahead of Gabi and passed the ball to Neymar
Felipe was taken aback and immediately rushed towards Neymar.
But at this moment, Neymar suddenly passed the ball to the bottom line.
Carvajal rushed forward quickly and caught up with Neymar's through ball, which was directly a right-footed cross.
The ball crossed an arc and landed in the penalty area.
Only to see Ibrahimovic suddenly rush from the penalty spot to the goal, and firmly block Godin on his left side with his body.
Poor Godin, who could not stop him alive or dead, felt that the Swedes were rushing up, like a heavy tank, and no matter how much he reached out to grab and pull, he could not stop him.
Ibrahimovic rushed to the edge of the six-yard box, took a look at the ball, and then at Asenjo, and the two sides projected a murderous aura to the extreme.
Youngster Asenjo was also staring at Ibrahimovic, a little nervous and a little hesitant.
Do you want to attack?
But soon, he realized that it was too late, and he had to wait for Ibrahimovic to shoot
But which direction will the Swedish centre-forward play this time?
Without waiting for Asenjo to make a decision, Ibrahimovic actually faced the falling ball, picked up his right foot, and directly volleyed
Asenjo flew to make a save, but Ibrahimovic's shot was too tricky for the Spanish goalkeeper to do anything and by the time he save, the ball was already in the net
“goaLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”
At the same time as the on-site commentator shouted the goal, Yang Huan also rushed out of his seat quickly and kept clenching his fists in celebration.
The Twin Towers
That's Southampton's special move, the Twin Towers
Bielsa had been secretly practicing for a while, and now he was present
Atletico Madrid's two central defenders can deal with those dexterous players in La Liga, and the two originally teamed up to defend against one Ibrahimovic, although it was difficult, but they could barely cope.
But now, the two strongest centers in the world of the two divine beast levels joined forces, and they immediately surrendered
Not only them, but I believe that any set of central defenders in the world will not be able to withstand the impact of these two divine beast centers.
They seem to be an unsolvable problem
