Chapter 780: Who Do You Save First?


"Toni Kroos takes the ball in the midfield and transfers the long diagonal pass to the right" "Suarez, great turn, got rid of Felipe, accelerated, crossed" "Ibrahimovic takes over in the middle" "Beautiful Otamendi, very good defense around the front, clearing the ball early" "But the ball did not fly far and still fell at the feet of Southampton.

Modric passed the ball back to the defense to reorganize."

"Southampton has a very obvious advantage in possession of the ball, while Madrid is very passive on the field."

"Here it goes again, Javi Martinez's long pass from the backcourt finds Ibrahimovic" "The Swedish center responded to Kaká with a kick from behind, and Suarez crossed into the ribs from the right."

"Courtois struck decisively and cleared the ball, resolving another crisis."

"Southampton's offensive methods are very rich.

They are the most offensive team in the Champions League this season.

They have scored goals in every game in the Champions League and are in very good condition."

"But Atlético Madrid is no slouch either.

They are one of the best defensive teams in the Champions League."

"So, this season's Champions League finals, although they are two dark pony teams, are not weak at all.

They are known as a powerful showdown between the strongest spear and the strongest shield in the Champions League."

"The game has been in full swing from the beginning.

It has been going on for five minutes now, and we haven't had time to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams to you."

"Look, Southampton is attacking again.

The Saints are ready to swallow Atletico Madrid in one breath."

Accompanied by the shouts of the commentator at the Stadium of Light, there were nearly 60,000 people in the entire stadium.

Their emotions all fluctuated with the situation of the game.

Every attack by Southampton was enough to make them hold their breath.

The commentator is right, this is a showdown between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

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

Just imagine, these spectators sitting on the sidelines are so nervous.

Aren't the players on the court ten times more nervous than them?

There was a beep and the referee blew the foul whistle.

Tevez tripped Modric while returning to defense and was flagged for a foul by the referee.

The Argentinian beast did not defend himself.

After reaching out to pull Modric up, he took two steps back.

But when the ball came out again, he immediately rushed towards Modric and Toni Kroos regardless of his own safety.

This guy is known as a desperate Saburo But it can also be seen that although the two teams are closely related, Simeone is still resorting to foul tactics in order to win the game.

At best, it just signals the players to move cleanly, which is already very good.

You know, in terms of skills, Atletico Madrid's midfielder is indeed good, but the frontcourt and backcourt are still far behind Southampton's overall control style of play.

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

Therefore, Simeone's tactics are very simple, rough and direct, and I use defensive counterattacks and foul tactics.

This is what Atletico Madrid does best.

"There are no problems with the starting tactics of the two head coaches.

Although Southampton attacked after the opening, they were also wary of Atletico Madrid's counterattack.

The Shelters Army is based on defense, but once they seize the opportunity, they can counterattack very well.

"Resolute" "The battle between these two famous European coaches did not cause any problems at the tactical level."

After attacking for a few points, Southampton seemed to realize that Atletico Madrid's opening tactics were quite targeted and the defense was very strong.

It was basically impossible to eat up the opponent in one bite.

Therefore, Toni Kroos and others stopped attacking after communicating with Bielsa with eyes and gestures.

As soon as the rhythm slowed down, everyone in the Stadium of Light breathed a sigh of relief.

From the beginning of the game, the Saints held their breath and attacked desperately.

And what about Atletico Madrid?

Although he was defending desperately, he had no intention of retreating to the half court.

Instead, he used his best skills of active running and pressure to defend.

The scene was not ugly.

Although neither team scored a goal, everyone in the stadium breathed a sigh of relief and was worried about them.

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

"Okay, now we finally have time to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams."

"Atletico Madrid has adjusted the starting lineup for this game.

The goalkeeper is Courtois, and the defense remains unchanged.

From left to right, it is Felipe, Godin, Otamendi and Juanfran.

This is also Atletico Madrid’s iron defense.”

"But in the midfield, Simeone adopted a four-midfield tactic, from left to right, Isco, Gabi, Illarramendi and Koke.

Obviously, Gabi was chosen because of the Atletico Madrid captain.

He has more experience and plays a huge role in the midfield, so it is most suitable for him to lead the midfield.”

"In fact, when Gabby responded to Southampton's attack after the start, he directed his teammates to defend well."

"The two forwards in the frontcourt are Diego Costa and Tevez, and the French forward Griezmann was left on the bench."

"These two forwards are also very active defensive players, which is also a major feature of Atletico Madrid.

From the frontcourt to the backcourt, every player has a strong defensive awareness, which makes Atletico Madrid's overall defensive quality very high. ” "Compared to Atletico Madrid's adjustments, Southampton still adopts its best four-three-three tactics."

"The goalkeeper is Neuer and the defense is David Alaba, Javi Martinez, Varane and Danilo."

"Using Danilo to start instead of Azpilicueta proves that Bielsa knows that the most difficult problem Southampton needs to solve in this game is not defense, but offense."

"The double midfielder in the midfield has not changed.

It is still the combination of Modric and Toni Kroos, but the more experienced Kaká is once again arranged to start in the center of the frontcourt.

The Brazilian midfielder has gone through a long period of time after moving to Southampton.

After time recovered, his competitive status improved significantly and he returned to the Brazilian national team.”

"The front trident, Hazard, Ibrahimovic and Suarez, is also Southampton's main offensive lineup in the Champions League this season, and there is news that this will be Ibrahimovic.

His final season at Southampton."

But just after the commentator introduced the rosters of the two teams, Southampton launched another attack in the backcourt.

This time, right back Danilo brought the ball along the right wing and quickly crossed the center line before entering Atletico Madrid's half.

As soon as Danilo passed half-time, all the Southampton players who appeared in the Atletico Madrid half and in the area before and after the midline suddenly became active, and each one began to rush forward at every opportunity.

When the Brazilian right back came up, he immediately kicked the ball forward and passed it to Suarez who was pulling to the wing.

This scared Felipe and quickly blocked his position, while Danilo himself took the opportunity to slant into Atletico Madrid's ribs. department.

Suarez is also a smart man.

He has been working with Danilo for a year and has a tacit understanding.

As soon as he receives the ball, he immediately hits back.

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

But Gabi is very experienced and blocked Danilo's diagonal entry into the penalty area early, forcing Danilo to knock the ball back to Kaká behind him.

Kaka kicked the ball and passed the ball to the feet of Ibrahimovic who was pulled to the front of the penalty area.

After blocking Godin with his body, the Swedish center turned and passed to the left side of Atletico Madrid's defense.

Hazard quickly chased the ball, and after receiving the ball, he made a pass.

But Otamendi was also fast.

He fell to the ground and made a tackle.

The two of them took the ball and knocked Hazard to the ground, and the ball went out of the baseline.

The referee gave a penalty for Atletico Madrid's goal kick, which immediately made Southampton feel very dissatisfied.

However, judging from the slow motion of the game, it was indeed Otamendi who kicked the ball to Hazard when he was making a clearance, and then bounced out of the baseline.

Yang Huan was sitting in the chairman's stand.

When he saw Otamendi turning around and chasing Hazard to the baseline and knocking Hazard to the ground, he couldn't help but praise, "This kid is really a great general."

Isn't it?

Just now, he was helping to defend behind Ibrahimovic.

After seeing the Swedish center passing the ball, he immediately turned around and chased back, destroying Hazard's dribbling in front of the baseline.

With this speed and decisiveness, Otamendi deserves the title of Tiger General.

Speaking of which, Otamendi is also relatively useless.

He became famous very early, and it was already spread throughout European football in 2009.

But the terrible thing is that at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he was a god when he played football, but he could only be regarded as a mortal when he coached.

Maradona, forced him to the right.

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

Yang Huan even clearly remembers that in his previous life, domestic fans hated Otamendi with toothache.

As for the party members, they hate Otamendi very much.

But speaking of which, this guy is also tough.

After moving to Porto, he showed a very high level.

Facts have proved that his most suitable position is still at central defender.

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 rough at the feet, but he is only 26 years old now. , there is still room for improvement.

Didn’t you see, Ramos and Pepe were also a defensive team back then, and they were a mess Puyol, Ayala, Cannavaro, when these guys are in their twenties and sixties, which one is not irritable?

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 and frontcourt, so the backline players were relatively ignored and no one paid much attention.

Wherever it is now, every move is infinitely magnified.

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

After letting Miranda go in the new season, Otamendi will officially take over and become the backbone of the team's defense.

"Master Huan, how are you feeling now?"

Platini, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, suddenly asked with a bit of evil humor.

When Yang Huan heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly, "I can feel whatever mood I want."

In fact, it's really hard to say how he feels at this moment.

To say it's a pity, it's indeed a pity.

If Hazard's ball had been passed just now, Suarez would have followed, and there would be a great chance.

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

You know, in terms of overall strength, Atletico Madrid and Southampton are still slightly inferior.

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

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

"Hey, Michelle, let me ask you a question."

"Okay, you ask."

Platini felt a little strange.

"If your wife and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"

Platini is depressed, what is the problem?

But soon, he figured out that the question Master Huan asked was 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 good swimmers."

"Well" Yang Huan was immediately speechless
