"Okay, well done, Messi" When Messi scored the equalizing goal, Prince William jumped up from his seat and shouted excitedly.
I've been holding this breath for long enough, and now I can finally let it out.
Not only him, but also many guests and fans who supported Southampton in the Chairman's Stand also shouted excitedly, and some even danced to celebrate Southampton's equalizer.
It was only the 31st minute.
This was the Saints' third shot of the game, but it resulted in a goal.
The efficiency was so high that it was not inferior to Atletico Madrid, which relied on defensive counterattacks.
Yang Huan also breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Simone is probably going to be miserable again."
From Master Huan's point of view, he can accept whoever wins or loses between Southampton and Atletico Madrid.
But judging from the situation on the scene, Atletico Madrid is indeed gradually falling behind.
No one knew that, silently and unconsciously, the balance of the situation on the court had quietly changed.
It was not until Southampton equalized the score that everyone suddenly realized that Atletico Madrid was not going to play well.
If Simeone's team can hold on to the first half, there is still great hope for the second half.
But now, Atletico Madrid could not hold on for only thirty minutes.
This was not only a painful blow to the team's tactics, but also a huge blow to the players.
In this case, what else can Simeone do?
continue the attack Don't be ridiculous, the team has spent thirty minutes, and it is already difficult to suppress the Saints.
If we strengthen the attack at this time, wouldn't it be like lighting a lamp in the toilet and seeking death?
But if Simeone chooses to retreat, he will basically give up this game.
More importantly, is he confident that he can hold on?
With one hour left, if the situation is left in the hands of the Saints, his team can hold on "Ahem" Bielsa sighed heavily.
Strictly speaking, Simeone can be considered a master-student relationship with him.
"As I just said, Atletico Madrid's problem is that when the midfield and frontcourt are pressing, there is a bit of a disconnect with the defense."
Pochettino finally understood it at this time, and he admired Bielsa even more in his heart.
After all, the master is a master, he hits the nail on the head and hits the nail on the head.
The main problem with the goal just conceded was the midfielder Illarramendi.
But it's not his fault not necessarily
Because Krychowiak and other teammates in front are pressing forward, Illarramendi's position must also move forward.
Otherwise, the distance will increase and an obvious gap will be formed, which will be exploited by Southampton.
What just happened was that after Illarramendi pressed forward, he failed to hold the front.
Di Maria suddenly came up from behind and used his speed to create a time difference.
The defensive midfielder failed to return to the penalty area in time.
Montoya was taken away from the defense line by the retreating Hazard.
No player could follow Di Maria in time, so the central defender could only come up.
But when Otamendi moved, Suarez followed suit.
The Uruguayan was too shrewd and cunning, and he stuck Jimenez when he was moving.
Jimenez lacked experience after all.
Although he blocked Suarez's shooting angle, he could not prevent Suarez's pass.
In this situation, Di María and Suarez attacked with the ball and directly faced Otamendi and Jimenez who hurriedly responded, two on two, which was really beneficial to the offensive side.
If either Illarramendi or Montoya could have retreated into the penalty area in time, Atletico Madrid's hope of holding on would be greatly increased in a three-on-two situation.
It would not be so easy for the Saints to score.
It should be said that Atletico Madrid's entire defensive formation is so tight that, looking at today's football, there are only a handful of people who can break it.
In this game, Simeone also focused on the layout and sent out his main players.
From a tactical point of view, he made almost no mistakes.
But the problem is, if you don't take the initiative to make mistakes, the Saints still have the ability to force you to make mistakes.
Even for the fleeting loophole exposed in Atletico Madrid's defense just now, Southampton is probably the only one who can catch it and quickly turn it into a goal.

Not even the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich can do it.
Thinking of this, Pochettino couldn't help but look at his teacher Bielsa with admiration.
Even before the Saints had seized the opportunity, Bielsa had already seen Atletico Madrid's problems.
In this regard, I don't know how much better than him.
This also made Pochettino admire him, but he also clearly understood that he still had a lot to learn.
Just as Pochettino was praising and admiring him, Bielsa, who was sitting next to him, spoke again.
"Diego should stabilize the situation first.
This conceding goal will have a great impact on the morale of the players, and their mentality will definitely be loosened.
Especially the young players in the team must stabilize first."
Pochettino understands what Bielsa means.
At this time, the team's morale is unstable.
If the Saints score another goal, Atletico Madrid will be really in danger.
One to one, the sheet army still has a chance.
Although it is said that the longer the delay is, the better it will be for the Saints, but at least there is still a chance.
If he loses the ball again, he really won't even have a chance.
"However, with Diego's character, he probably won't be willing to retreat," Yang Huan said with a wry smile.
Simeone is a very strong tough guy.
When he lost to Southampton in the Champions League final, he made a promise that he would return to the Champions League final and lead Atletico Madrid to win the championship.
He has been working hard towards this goal in the past two or three years.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of him, and the Champions League trophy is within reach.
Is he willing to give up?
It was at this moment that Yang Huan deeply realized that sometimes in order to gain, one must first know how to give up.
Giving up the opportunity to compete for the Champions League, choosing to retreat, stabilize the situation, play to their defensive strengths, and wait for Southampton to make mistakes, Atletico Madrid will have hope.
But if you don't retreat and confront the enemy head-on, then I'm afraid Facts have proved that Yang Huan still knows Simeone very well.
The Argentines have been preparing carefully for two or three years for this final.
How could they be willing to just retreat?
Or maybe the players on the court are already playing hot-headed and are not under Simeone's control at all.
Anyway, after losing the ball, Atletico Madrid launched a crazy counterattack and pressed towards Southampton.
This wave of violent attacks did gain a lot.
Atletico Madrid got two very threatening shots, but failed to get a chance to score.
On the contrary, in the 38th minute, the physical fitness declined and the defense appeared.
A loophole.
Toni Kroos made a long pass and accurately found Suarez who successfully countered offside.
After the Uruguayan got the ball, he entered the penalty area and formed a single shot, which was easy to shoot.
The ball passed over Courtois's head, and in the desperate eyes of the Belgian goalkeeper, it slowly fell towards the goal behind him.
Simeone on the sidelines covered his head hard, as if he was trying to use all his strength to twist his head off his shoulders.
But even this act of self-harm failed to succeed.
Two to one, Southampton reversed course At this moment, the cheers filling the Stadium of Glory made Simeone and Atletico Madrid feel like they wanted to go crazy.
No one likes losing.
Losing in the final is something everyone hates.
They lost once, a Champions League final, so they learned from the experience and prepared carefully for two years to make a comeback and make a difference, but they didn't expect that what was waiting for them would still be a loss.
Simeone even had the urge to vomit blood.
He really wanted to ask God why this happened.
He and his team have done well enough and even tried their best, so why are they still losing?
Could it be said that Atletico Madrid can really only survive in the shadow of Southampton in this life?

Simeone wanted to shout loudly, "Fuck me, labor and management don't believe in this evil" But his reason forced him to calm down, because he knew that his team and his players were still waiting for him.
At this time, the team's morale has reached a low point.
If Simeone, as the head coach, does not quickly adjust and help the team, Atletico Madrid will not just lose.
You may even lose the future One to two, this is called a regrettable defeat, which is regrettable and worthy of sympathy.
But if you lose 1 to 3, 1 to 4, or even 1 to 5, or 1 to 6, it is called a complete defeat, a disastrous defeat.
The worse the loss, the harder it will be for Atletico Madrid to turn around.
Simone is not the kind of mother-in-law mother-in-law, he can afford to lose.
If we lose this game, labor and management will win back sooner or later.
Therefore, after a brief emotional loss, Simeone quickly walked to the sidelines, immediately shouted to the players, and adjusted the team's tactics.
With no other choice, Atletico Madrid can only choose to retreat This retreat basically announced that Atletico Madrid had given up the dominance of the game.
Unless Southampton makes a mistake of their own, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to win.
Therefore, after seeing Atletico Madrid retreat, Ancelotti's originally serious expression suddenly burst into laughter like a chrysanthemum, and he finally felt like he was winning.
Serie A, La Liga, and the Premier League have won another Champions League title In the stands, Pochettino was also very sad to see Simeone adjust his tactics.
"When a strong man cuts off his wrist, Simeone is still Simeone" In this situation, how many people can be like Simeone and be willing to accept failure?
I'm afraid there are very few, and most of them are like just now, where they are hot-headed and risk their lives.
Able to bend and stretch, Simeone is as resilient as his Atletico Madrid team.
Bielsa also nodded, "This Atletico Madrid team still has potential that can be tapped.
Montoya, Jimenez, Jose Gaya, Illarramendi and others are still young and not experienced enough, and at the tactical level There is still room for improvement, and in the long run, losing this game may not be a bad thing for Atletico Madrid.”
After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled and said, "You are the consultant of our group.
Let's analyze it carefully with Simeone later."
Bielsa smiled slightly and agreed.
Although it is only a game, this kind of strong dialogue is often the best way to expose the team's problems.
Therefore, Bielsa also grasped some of the crux of Atletico Madrid and wanted to have a good talk with Simeone.
Of course, some of these problems may have been realized by Simeone long ago, or he may even have deliberately kept them, but there may also be some that he himself was not aware of.
In any case, a good talk is necessary.
Yang Huan sat in the stands and looked at Simeone in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.
He suddenly felt something.
Is it because Argentines are not handsome enough and Atletico Madrid’s style of play is not gorgeous and pretty enough, so they are destined to be tragic heroes instead of leading actors?
Although he is the boss, he is not God, so he does not know.
But he is willing to bet any amount, and he firmly believes that Simeone and his Atletico Madrid will succeed.
Because he couldn't see any reason for failure from this Argentinian and this team.
It’s just a matter of time:
