"Damn it, you're so unambitious, aren't you?"
When the game restarted in the second half, everyone saw that Atletico Madrid still followed the tactics of the last half hour of the first half, retreating to their own half to defend tightly, Yang Huan complained with a wry smile.
Atletico Madrid gave up Thiago in this game and arranged two defensive players to serve as double midfielders.
It is a bit defensive in itself, but if Simeone still has some ambition after the start and wants to score goals, Then he seems too cowardly now, just shrinking back and guarding.
It feels like a turtle retracting its head into its shell and laughing at you.
If you have the ability, come and beat me.
One to zero is the most precarious score, especially in such an important final.
Southampton was firmly in control of the game, but facing Atletico Madrid's almost ironclad defense, the Saints failed to score again.
Ibrahimovic's goal kept Southampton's lead until now.
"Atletico Madrid's entire tactical formation has now become a standard 4-4-2.
The two wide players have retreated to the full-back position and actively participated in the defense.
Falcao is still at the front, containing Southampton's two sides.
"Central defender" "Mario Suarez and Gabi basically cover the front area of the penalty area, retreating very deep, and will not lose their positions casually.
The entire defensive formation is very tight, and it is difficult for Southampton to effectively pass the ball in, or even create threaten" Platini was introducing the current situation on the court.
This set of tactics is simply Atletico Madrid's signature tactic.
I don’t know how many top European teams have died due to this set of tactics.
Southampton was unable to find an effective way to break Atletico Madrid’s set of tactics for a while.
"Actually, Simeone's tactics are very suitable for Atletico Madrid players.
If you don't have outstanding personal abilities, then I will choose what is beneficial to me and take advantage of my tactical execution to force you into a fight."
"Once you get into a close fight, no matter how you are Messi, it will be difficult for you to use your full strength."
Yang Huan feels that Platini's analysis is still very reliable, but Southampton can't do anything about it.
Not to mention Southampton, even Barcelona would have a headache when encountering this kind of tactics.
What's more, Barcelona's ability to create opportunities and the players' personal abilities are much higher than Southampton's.
"Now, Simeone is just waiting.
When Southampton can no longer hold on and makes mistakes and flaws, Atletico Madrid will seize the opportunity to counterattack and score goals."
In any game, both sides will definitely make various mistakes and flaws, which is inevitable for everyone.
As long as Southampton reveals a flaw and Atletico Madrid seizes an opportunity, the score will be equalized.
Especially considering that Atletico Madrid were now retreating into their own half, forcing Southampton to press forward.
This situation, as long as it can be defended, is quite favorable for counterattack.
The game is going on so far, it seems very intense, but it is a bit boring.
The two sides seemed to be stuck in a stalemate, inseparable, and it turned into a big fight, but no chance was created.
Yang Huan couldn't help but glance towards the bottom of the stands, to the Southampton coaching bench.
Bielsa squatted motionless on the sidelines, watching the game on the court, and occasionally raised the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
This action calls attention to the fact that he is not a statue.
But what on earth is he thinking about?
Is there any way to break Simeone's defensive system?
In the Southampton coaching bench, Martin Hunt was quickly typing on the virtual keyboard on his tablet computer, exchanging analysis results during the game with colleagues in a multimedia office at the National Stadium.
Reports and data were transferred to the tablet computer one after another, analyzed by the software, and presented to Martin Hunter.
Soon, Martin Hunt stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines.
“Marcelo” Martin Hunt knelt down in front of Bielsa and handed over the tablet in his hand.
"You see, in the past five minutes, we have been too committed to the center, which is obviously what Atlético Madrid wants us to do."
Bielsa took the tablet and glanced at the game data of the past five minutes, which was converted into charts, showing everything that happened on the field very clearly.
Combining the impressions in his mind, Bielsa knew that the data was correct Putting aside those so-called percentages and so-called statistics, the real reason is that Southampton's attack lacks width.
Atletico Madrid defended tightly and wanted Southampton to fight with them.
Southampton's two wide players both cut inside.

To create width, the full-backs have to move forward.
However, Atletico Madrid's two wingers, Turan and Adrian, did a very good job in defense, preventing Southampton's wingers from being effective.
This is why Bielsa wants to bring in Gareth Bale.
Neymar and James Rodriguez are both ball-taking players and lack impactful breakthroughs from the wing.
Once the opponent is as defensive as Simeone, Southampton really doesn't have many options.
Bielsa looked at the charts on the tablet again, switched to the data interface of Southampton players, and then looked at the data interfaces of the two teams.
After thinking about it, he made a decision.
"Let Drogba warm up" "Drogba" Martin Hunt was stunned.
Should Ibrahimovic be replaced?
This is the team's goal scorer, one person suppressed Atletico Madrid's two central defenders.
Take him now That's right
Not just Martin Hunt, almost everyone looked surprised, even a little unbelievable, when they saw Drogba standing on the sidelines after warming up, waiting to come on.
"Is Ibrahimovic injured?"
Charlene Lahiri wondered when explaining.
But soon, the substitution results came out.
Drogba replaces James Rodriguez what's going on "Two of the world's top centers are actually playing at the same time."
Charlene Lahiri was shocked.
This is something Southampton has never seen before They spent one season together at Southampton but never played together But now, with more than thirty minutes left in the game, Bielsa substitutes Drogba.
Could it be that the fans' appeal for a season has played a role?
The live TV camera swept over Simeone, and the Argentine tough guy was obviously shocked.
Can these two centers be compatible if they play at the same time?
This should be everyone's doubt.
But soon, everyone discovered that Southampton's tactics seemed to have changed.
After Ibrahimovic and Drogba started at the same time, the two centers occupied the center, but there seemed to be a tacit understanding.
That is, one of the two is always in the penalty area and the other is outside the penalty area.
There have also been interesting changes in the midfield and backcourt.
Neymar's position returned from the left to the center, wandering behind and to the left of the two centers.
Stroman, Toni Kroos and Vidal all retreated, but the two full-backs Alaba and Carvajal moved forward more actively.
In this way, Southampton's tactics are a bit like four-three-one-two.
Yang Huan couldn't help laughing when he saw this change in the stands.
"Two of the world's top high center forwards are playing at the same time.
This is the Twin Towers."
Platini was also amazed by what he saw.
If the two centers worked well together, how could Atletico Madrid's defense be able to stop them?
Bielsa's current attitude is clear: tell Simeone.
Okay, you retreat, if you can, I will attack you to death.
Don't you like to retreat to the half court and the penalty area?
Then I'll put the most threatening surprise soldier in your penalty area, and I'll see how you can defend against it.
I have to say that Bielsa played well, but more importantly, Southampton has such resources Looking around the world, even top clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, who can afford to deploy Ibrahimovic and Drogba, the two top centers in the world?
Okay, now, Simeone has a headache Southampton soon launched another attack.
This time it was an attack from the right.
Because there were three midfielders behind him, Carvajal rushed to the frontcourt very decisively and actively participated in the attack in the frontcourt.
Drogba ran to the upper right corner of Atletico Madrid's penalty area to respond, and Neymar also ran over.
Carvajal saw Drogba coming and immediately passed the ball to Drogba.
With Miranda behind him, Drogba had no choice but to act as a wall and pass to Neymar.

Neymar tried to cut inside with the ball, but failed.
He then knocked it back to the right, but it was given to Carvajal.
Carvajal took the ball, saw Atletico Madrid left back Felipe pressing him, and immediately passed the ball to Drogba.
Atletico Madrid players are depressed now Damn it, can you stop passing it on to Drogba?
I know that you have a high center forward, and that Drogba’s ability to defend the wall is unparalleled in the world, but can you stop passing the ball like this all the time?
Gabi immediately threw away Neymar and ran towards Drogba, trying to interfere.
But Neymar was smart and immediately ran into space.
Drogba used his body to suppress Miranda and protect the ball.
When he saw Neymar running into the gap, he immediately passed the ball to Neymar before Gabi.
Felipe was startled and immediately rushed towards Neymar.
But at this moment, Neymar suddenly passed the ball to the baseline.
Carvajal quickly rushed forward, caught up with Neymar's through ball, and made a right-footed cross.
The ball crossed an arc and fell into the penalty area.
But Ibrahimovic suddenly rushed towards the goal from the penalty spot and blocked Godin firmly to his left with his body.
Poor Godin couldn't stop him, so he felt like the Swede was charging like a heavy tank.
No matter how much he reached out to grab and pull, he couldn't stop him.
Ibrahimovic rushed to the front of the small penalty area, turned to look at the landing point of the ball, and then looked at Asenjo.
Both sides projected a murderous aura that was extremely strong.
Young player Asenjo was also staring closely at Ibrahimovic.
He was a little nervous and hesitant.
Do you want to attack?
But soon, he realized that it was too late and could only wait for Ibrahimovic to shoot.
But this time, which direction will the Swedish center play?
Before Asenjo could make a decision, Ibrahimovic faced the falling ball, raised his right foot, and fired a volley.
Asenjo flew to make a save, but Ibrahimovic's shot was too tricky.
The Spanish goalkeeper was once again helpless.
By the time he made the save, the ball had already entered the net.
"goa" When the on-site commentator called out the goal, Yang Huan quickly rushed out of his seat and kept clenching his fists in celebration.
The Two Towers This is Southampton's surefire move, The Two Towers Bielsa has been practicing in secret for a while, and now he is showing it out Atletico Madrid's two central defenders can cope with those agile players in La Liga.
Originally, the two teamed up to defend Ibrahimovic.
Although it was difficult, they could barely cope.
But now, the two most powerful centers in the world at the level of mythical beasts have joined forces:
