"Tony Kroos was seriously injured" In a certain stand at Wembley Stadium, Diego Simeone was sitting here with two assistants, Boggs and Ortega.
The purpose of their trip was to inspect Southampton on site.
Liverpool is undoubtedly a very qualified touchstone.
In this final, both sides made no reservations, providing them with the opportunity to observe Southampton's strength up close.
And just opposite their stands, the players from Southampton's first team who were not included in the match roster were all sitting together in suits and ties, and it was easy to find Toni Kroos among them.
The German teenager's left foot was still wrapped in a conspicuous white bandage, and his expression looked quite depressed.
"I have been paying attention to him from the moment I entered the field to now.
I haven't gotten up since I sat down.
I have to buy drinks and burgers by my teammates next to me.
It seems to be very inconvenient."
Boggs is a goalkeeper after all, and his eyes are extraordinary.
He can still clearly see the situation on the opposite side from a distance of the stadium.
Diego Simeone couldn't help laughing and said, "It hurts well."
Now, he was finally convinced that Toni Kroos was indeed seriously injured.
There are only three days left before the Europa League final.
Looking at the current situation of Toni Kroos, even if he gets better tomorrow, it will be difficult to adjust before the Europa League final.
Looking back at this game, Southampton's midfielder Matic performed very steadily, defended and organized quite well, and showed impressive strength.
Therefore, from the perspective of the head coach, Bielsa has absolutely no reason.
No need for Matic.
"I'm afraid this game for Liverpool is over," Diego Simeone shook his head and sighed.
Originally, they were still counting on Liverpool to have a big fight with Southampton.
I didn’t expect that it wouldn’t be too hard for the Saints to win.
Ortega nodded and said: "Southampton's three midfielders are extremely powerful, covering a wide range of areas and are full of layers."
After a pause, he began to analyze.
"Matic is always at the back to protect the defense.
He hardly moves forward.
Stroman and Vidal are relatively free and are very confident about the defense behind them.
They cover the area from penalty area to penalty area and run back and forth.
Very positive.”
"Relatively speaking, Dalglish's tactical attainments can no longer keep up with the development of today's football tactics."
Diego Simeone smiled slightly, "He hasn't coached a top team in more than ten years, and he has long since fallen behind the times."
Football tactics are developing at a rapid pace.
The tactics that may have been invincible last year have been completely suppressed by opponents this year.
Just like Barcelona, the extreme ball possession tactics have certainly given Barcelona its own system, and it has raised Barcelona's youth training to an unprecedented level, and has also brought unprecedented glory to Barcelona.
But that's just the bright side.
But behind the scenes When the youth training cannot provide strong supplements, the new players introduced by Barcelona always need a long adaptation period, and some even cannot adapt at all.
Also, once this kind of extreme tactic is restrained by your opponent, congratulations, you don't expect to be able to turn around in a short time.
When did Cruyff's dream collapse?
After losing to Capello's AC Milan 0-4 in the Champions League final.
In this battle, everyone found a way to restrain Barcelona's dream period.
The next year, Barcelona had just stepped out of the group stage and was eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the first round of the knockout round.
Also in this year, Barcelona lost humiliatingly to Valdano's Real Madrid 0-5.
It was after that battle that Barcelona entered a period of dark turmoil.
It was not until the new century, the Rijkaard era, that the so-called Dream Phase II was organized.
But between Dream Phase I and Dream Phase II, there were ten years in between, and Barcelona had been adjusting and groping.

Relatively speaking, the style of the second period of Dreams was relatively diversified, but during the Guardiola period, Barcelona's style of play once again went to extremes, crazy pursuit of ball control tactics, and elevated this ball control tactics to the pinnacle.
But Diego Simeone has a hunch that Barcelona's routine will soon become unusable.
On the one hand, there are player factors, but on the other hand, more and more teams have found effective ways to restrain Barcelona.
For example, Mourinho's Inter Milan, Allegri's AC Milan, Wenger's Arsenal, etc., all once restrained Barcelona's tactics.
Although it did not last long, these are all firmly remembered by professional coaches. live.
Never ignore the tactical research and analysis of professional coaches who make a living coaching.
In the field of professional coaching, there has never been a shortage of persistent madmen like Bielsa and Benitez who are firmly occupied by football 24 hours a day.
They are constantly changing roles between restraint and counter-restraint.
This promotes the rapid development of football tactics.
After leaving the frontline for a year or two, many head coaches inevitably find that their tactics are out of date when they come back.
For someone like Dalglish who came back to coach after retiring for more than ten years, the tactics are far behind the times.
"The simplest thing is, Toni Kroos is injured, Matic comes up, Liverpool can't play Spearing no matter what."
Ortega definitely criticized Dalglish's tactics.
"This is a stupid failure" Simeone nodded and said: "Matic is deep behind, Vidal and Stroman cover a large area, so there should be a midfielder who can roam in their three-man defense zone, hold the ball, and pass the ball."
At this point, Simeone and Ortega looked at each other and nodded almost in unison: "Diego" After the two of them finished speaking, they burst into laughter.
Atletico Madrid has such a player.
"I'm afraid it's not enough to have only one Diego.
Turan and Adrian are both here."
Simeone outlined this, and in Atletico Madrid's usual four-two-three-one tactics, the midfield and frontcourt are already assembled.
Falcao is the unbeatable first choice striker "The only trouble is the central defender," Ortega said worriedly.
Simone frowned immediately after hearing this.
The most amazing thing about Southampton this season is their two center forwards, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Didier Drogba.
These are the top centers in the world It is already very difficult for other teams to have one, but they are lucky enough to have two in one go.
These two centers were both in frighteningly good shape in the past season.
Ibrahimovic scored a total of forty-three goals in all competitions in the past season, with gains on all fronts except the English League Cup.
Drogba is not far behind.
Counting these two goals in this game, his total season goals have reached 42.
The goal-scoring competition between the two ace centers has always been the most talked about drama in Southampton in the past season.
Can Atletico Madrid's central defenders Godin and Miranda stop these two top centers in the world?
"Then we'll follow the old rules.
We'll fight for a while at the beginning and try to steal a goal from him, and then we'll defend to the end."
This is also Simeone’s favorite trick The reason why Atletico Madrid performs well is not because of the superior strength of the team, but because of pressing and defense.
Ortega also nodded, "This is the only way."
Who says you are not as strong as your opponent?
No one expected that after replacing Kuyt in the 55th minute, Dalglish seemed to give up on this game.
It wasn't until the 88th minute that he made his second and third substitutions.
But at this time, it was very close to the end of the game.
Liverpool sadly lost the FA Cup with a score of 0-3.
When the referee Dodd's whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire Wembley Stadium was completely boiling.
All the Saints fans rushed out of their seats crazily and headed down the field, cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs.
At this moment, the same thing must have happened in front of countless TV sets.
Not just in the UK, but in Europe and around the world
"Let us congratulate Southampton for successfully defending the FA Cup title" "This is the most amazing feat in the history of English football.
They have won the FA Cup for two consecutive seasons as a third- and second-tier team."
"What's even more amazing is that this team also won the League Cup and the Championship this season."

"Although it is not appropriate to say this, I personally feel that Southampton deserves the title of Triple Crown."
"Especially considering that Southampton also reached the Europa League final this season.
If they win the Europa League, they will have completed a Grand Slam.
They will not only create new history in English football, but also Opening up a new history of European football” "This is Southampton's manager, the Argentine madman, Marcelo Bielsa" "During his two seasons in charge of Southampton, he injected the blood of crazy attacking football into this team from the south coast of England.
He brought Southampton an amazing feast of gorgeous football."
"We have absolutely reason to believe that the Premier League next season will become even more exciting and suspenseful because of the appearance of Southampton."
Football matches are so cruel Everyone, all eyes are trained on the winner No one will care about the losers’ cries and tears.
They left the stadium sadly.
All Southampton players, led by captain Neuer, walked below the stands where the fans were and thanked the fans for traveling north with the team to cheer for the team.
At this time, Saints fans suddenly unfurled a long banner in the stands, covering most of the second-floor stands of Wembley Stadium.
As you can see, this banner is printed with anthropomorphic cartoon images of the four trophies of the English League Cup, English Championship, FA Cup and Europa League.
What’s interesting is that the cartoon characters of the first three championship trophies have all put on Southampton’s iconic jerseys, lined up neatly, and walked forward holding Southampton’s team flag high.
Opposite was the naked Europa League trophy, an anthropomorphic cartoon character covering his key parts and running over quickly, as if he wanted to join Southampton's queue.
The entire banner is painted lifelike, very realistic and interesting.
There is also a sentence below, "Please pay attention, it is running towards us very fast."
This move by the fans in the stands immediately made everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
Especially the players in the stadium gave thumbs up to the fans in the stands.
No surprise, this huge banner was created by the Saints Harry Fan Club The spotlight flashed frequently at the scene.
Some were cameras in the hands of reporters, while others were mobile phones and tablets in the hands of fans.
Without exception, they all wanted to remember this impressive scene.
At this time, the drums started to sound, getting heavier and louder.
Then the fans of the Saints Harry Fan Club began to sing the Southampton team anthem in unison.
At first, then they were singing.
But gradually, more and more people joined the chorus.
In the end, even the players and the Southampton executives on the podium stood up one by one and joined in the chorus.
At this moment, football is no longer just football16841d6su9h10723125gt:
