"Damn, this guy should be a turtle, right?"

Not to mention, after this guy puts on a neat suit, he really has a little bit of the rush of the Italian mafia leader, very much like those Hollywood villainous men.

I don't know why, anyway, in Luis Borini's opinion, this guy is not pleasing to the eye from top to bottom.

In the first half, more than 30 minutes later, a sneak attack, if it weren't for Neuer's divine save to save Napton, it is estimated that Atletico Madrid would have taken the lead at this time.

But what about after that?

This guy really belongs to the turtle, and seeing that a sneak attack was not successful, he immediately retracted into the turtle shell, refusing to come out.

In the last ten minutes of the first half, Southampton fought back desperately, but they couldn't break through Atletico Madrid's goal.

At the beginning of the second half, the Saints launched another wave of attacks, but it still did not work.

This made Luis Borini on the sidelines a little unable to sit still.

If Simone had heard his words at this time, he would have nodded with a smile and replied: "Yes, I am a turtle and have the ability, you bite me!" ”

Yes, this guy is so faceless and skinless!

"He's very thorough defensively, very organised and disciplined, and it's worth looking into!"

Compared to Luis Borini, who was a little uneasy, Bielsa was calmer.

In his opinion, Southampton's offensive is not fierce enough, nor is it completely unchanged, but Atletico Madrid's defense is indeed too tightly organized.

And this kind of tightness is not the kind of very tough, as tight as a wall, it belongs to the combination of rigidity and softness.

It's like a ball of hard rubber, and when you punch it, it recesses a little bit, and when it dissolves your strength, it even bounces back a little.

What's more, it's not clumsy, but because it runs a lot, this defensive system is very agile and full of variety.

Luis Borini was on the sidelines, and after listening to Bielsa's words, he glanced at the boss angrily.

"Marcelo, now is not the time to boast about our opponents, we should find a way to break their goal!"

But who knows, after Bielsa heard this, he shook his head, "No, Luis, it's hard." ”

"What do you mean?" Luis Borini is a little strange.

Could it be that Bielsa wants to raise his hands and surrender?

This is not at all Bielsa's style!

Even, he could have predicted that if Bielsa really did this, then he would definitely be fired by Young Master Huan on the spot.

But he did misunderstand what Bielsa meant.

"It's not easy for us to break down their defence when they're fit!"

When Luis Borini heard this, he immediately understood what Bielsa meant.

Atletico Madrid has now recovered a lot after halftime, and the team is full of morale, and the top and bottom are like a group of wild horses that have taken off the reins, and they can't pull it.

If Southampton wanted to subdue this wild horse, there was no other way but to grind.

In the case of this wild horse's strongest personality and most strength, you can't go head-to-head with him, but you should slowly grind off his sharpness and consume his strength.

In this case, the competition between the two sides is consumption, to see who can consume whom.

Of course, it is also possible that both sides will make mistakes in the process of attrition and be caught by the other party, causing a fatal blow.

For example, in the first half of more than 30 minutes, Southampton's defense was very tight, giving Atletico Madrid a chance to counterattack, and Tevez almost broke through the goal and scored.

It can be said that if Tevez had scored, the game would have changed completely.

It wasn't just Southampton who made mistakes, Atletico Madrid also made a couple of mistakes, only the Sheets made up for it, or Southampton failed to capitalise on their chances and ultimately failed to score.

Therefore, now there is only one way for both sides to go, and that is to fight for consumption.

No matter how strict the tactical system is, no matter how good the players, after the physical consumption reaches a certain level? The effect will be greatly reduced.

And Bielsa has confidence in his team, if he really fights for consumption, the best chance of winning in the end is himself!

For no other reason, Southampton beats Atletico Madrid on bench thickness!

…………

…………

"It's been fifty-five minutes, and he doesn't seem to have any plans to adjust!"

Atletico Madrid's assistant coach Boggs walked up to Simeone with a frown.

He holds an Apple tablet in his hand, and the app on it is displaying various data of Atletico Madrid players in real time, analyzing the situation of the game.

Simeone glanced at the away dugout.

Southampton manager Bielsa is still squatting on the sidelines, watching the game on the pitch, and seems not to be in a hurry at all.

This made Simeone's brow furrow, "What an old fox! ”

In the future, if anyone says that Bielsa is not shrewd, Simeone will be the first to rush with him.

This old fellow's heart is bright!

It is also attrition, but Atletico Madrid's tactical style makes the consumption of the Sheets players even greater.

Because they want to make up for the weakness of technique and control with positive running.

Of course, Southampton is not having a good time, and under the pressing and pressing of this set of tactics of Atletico Madrid, their consumption is also quite large, but overall, it is a little smaller than the Sheets Army.

"He waited for us to lie down when we were tired before he came up to collect our bodies!" Simeone sneered.

Off the field, he was full of respect for Bielsa.

But when he walked into the football field, the relationship between the two sides was life-and-death, so he didn't have much respect in his words.

"He's clever in his calculations!" Boggs also sneered.

But I have to say that they know their own problems, how long Atletico Madrid can last, Simeone and Boggs know in their hearts that if they really want to fight for consumption, they may not lose, but they are not very sure.

It can be said that so far in the game, it is difficult for the two sides to change much.

The key is to see the performance of the players on the pitch and the three substitutions in the hands of the managers of both sides.

For whom? When to change? How do you fight after changing?

That's the key!

"Do you think he's already thinking about overtime?" Simeone asked suddenly.

With the situation of Atletico Madrid, it is very dangerous to play extra time.

Because in ninety minutes, the players consumed too much, and when it came to overtime, it was simply fatal!

Boggs thought for a moment, "It should be, but ......"

Simone didn't wait for him to finish, he laughed to himself, "But he's Bielsa!" ”

After finishing speaking, the Argentine tough guy turned around directly and shouted at the bench, "Gilzeguez, Antoine, you two hurry up and warm up, hurry, hurry, hurry!" ”

Two figures were immediately picked up on the bench, namely Krychowiak and Antoine Griezmann.

They were obviously a little impatient to wait, and as soon as they heard Simeone's order, they immediately jumped to their feet and hurried to the sidelines to warm up.

"Upper Krychovyak?" Boggs was a little surprised.

"Yes, that's right!" Simone was very sure.

"Going into extra time is a suicide for us!"

Atletico Madrid have used this astonishing high-intensity pressing tactic in the past season, the player consumption is very high, and the suspense of the La Liga title has always been maintained until the final round.

In this case, the players of the Sheets will be behind Southampton in terms of fitness.

This, combined with a tactical disadvantage, made Atletico Madrid simply unable to accept extra-time.

Just imagine, after 90 minutes, the players can't run anymore, and playing overtime is not suicide?

"What do you think...... then?" asked Boggs.

"Replace Illia Ramendi with Krijowiak, who is already quite tired, let Koke return to the middle, free Isco, the team plays more diagonal long passes, find the right side, let Diego Costa and Griezmann grab!"

This set of tactics, in the tactics of Atletico Madrid this season, has worked many times, and it can be regarded as one of the winners and losers of the Sheets Army.

It just so happened that Southampton's left-back in this game was David Alaba, and the long pass was found on the left side, which was just right to use.

Bogston understood what Simeone meant, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" ”

After using Griezmann, Atletico Madrid's tactics will change from the original 442 to 433 tactics.

In other words, the 4141 tactic is more appropriate.

But just when Simeone and Boggs were busy arranging team adjustments and changes, Bielsa suddenly jumped up from the ground and walked into the dugout.

Soon, there was a stir in the Southampton dugout and on the bench.

Immediately afterwards, two figures were seen rushing out of the Southampton bench.

It was James Rodriguez and Alexis Sanchez.

Seeing this scene, Simeone and Boggs glanced at each other, both a little surprised.

Could it be that Bielsa wants to change two people at this time?

If so, who will he replace?

What kind of tactical changes will emerge from Southampton?

"Interesting, this old guy is going to play with us!" Simeone suddenly laughed.

Boggs, on the other hand, looked worried.

Bielsa is really going to play with his life, and he did it because he had a lot of faith in his team.

So should Atletico Madrid's substitutions continue?

To be safe, of course, wait for Southampton to make a substitution first, and then watch for a while and then see how the situation adjusts.

But isn't this a cut of weakness in momentum?

"It's business as usual!" Simone immediately decided, "Since he wants to play with his life, then I will play with him and see who plays who dies!" ”

At the end, the Argentine tough guy laughed again.

In his opinion, Atletico Madrid's ability to reach the Champions League final this season can be regarded as exceeding expectations and earning.

To be able to have a fight with Bielsa like this, he is also happy!

Even if he loses, he has no regrets!

Since that's the case, then don't think about it at all, go out, and fight to the death with your opponent!

The substitution between the two famous coaches was quite a bit of a battle of will, which directly surprised the fans on the sidelines and the audience in front of the TV.

Both sides chose to make successive substitutions in the early sixties?

And they all changed two in one go, but they also kept one hand, which is obviously the rhythm of a big fight.

As a result, the fans on both sides in the stadium began to cheer even more.

And the on-site commentator also shouted vigorously as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

'In the 63rd minute, Southampton took the lead in making substitutions.

'Bielsa replaced midfielder Luka Modric with James Rodriguez and Kaka with Alexis Sanchez!'

'The two substitutions were very offensive and not surprising to replace Kaka, but with Modric, is it about leaving Toni Kroos alone in midfield?

"Isn't that too dangerous?"

'Atletico Madrid also made a substitution, with Antoine Griezmann coming on for captain Gabi, who was clearly running out of fitness, and Ilja Ramendi with Krigiowiak to strengthen the midfield.

'Both managers made changes and used up two substitutions, so we'll see how the substitutions work!'
