When Dick walked out of the tunnel, warm applause erupted from the stands, all from Atletico Madrid fans.
In less than two months, Atletico Madrid fans¡¯ attitude towards Dick has changed from hostility at the beginning, to hope, to love now
It¡¯s hard to say worship.
As Dick walked towards his seat, he raised his right hand to gesture towards the stands. Before he came to his seat and sat down, he made a "V" gesture towards the stands occupied by Atletico Madrid fans!
Huge cheers erupted from the stands again.
"Good! It seems that Dick is full of confidence! I think we can now watch the fierce competition with peace of mind and wait to win the championship trophy after the game is over" Bones said with a laugh.
Although this is a bit exaggerated, Dick has used his previous unbeaten results to solidify this confidence!
Paco Flores, who was sitting on the away coaching bench, remained calm. This nearly fifty-year-old head coach accepted the Spanish coach midway. The situation of the Spanish was also very bad at the time. After coach Brindesi was fired, he put out the fire midway. It must be said that he was very successful as a firefighter. Not only did Espanyol successfully avoid relegation in advance, but he also led the Spaniard to the Copa del Rey final for the first time in 42 years. ¡
Without Dick's sudden emergence, he would have been the most successful firefighting coach this season like Aragones, who also took over midway but led Mallorca to quickly change the situation. However, the emergence of Dick changed everything. , Flores and Aragones both took over shortly after the winter transfer. They had enough time to adjust the team's condition, but Dick had nothing, but he created an all-round success as soon as he took office. The winning results put all the firefighting coaches in the dark!
Flores didn't know what Aragones was thinking, but personally, he was quite unhappy with this. Since he met Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, it was a good opportunity to deal with them. ¡
Flores knows that Atletico Madrid's overall strength is higher than that of the Spaniard. However, football matches do not mean that the stronger one must win. It is not impossible for the Spaniard to defend and counterattack - the two games against Real Madrid They have used this tactic in every game, but Atletico Madrid may not have the physical strength of Real Madrid who are fighting on the third line and will not be easily outrun by them. However, they can recover more and wear down Atletico Madrid's energy. Let their defense have holes, and then use counterattacks to kill them - even if they can't be killed, delaying it to overtime or even penalty kicks will be more beneficial to the Spaniards. Flores dedicated a day before the start of the game. Come to practice penalty kicks, it can be said that you are fully prepared.
??????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s definitely not the Spaniard who can¡¯t help but the Spaniard who is more famous and has recently achieved a complete victory. Atletico Madrid is eager to use the championship to wash away the humiliation of the first half of the season. Flores can definitely afford it! And what about Dick? Can he afford it?
Flores knew that Dick asked the team to engage in defensive counterattacks, but it also depends on who the opponent is. Facing strong teams like Valencia and Barcelona, ??Atletico Madrid players can be willing to do so. Use defensive counterattacks to deal with the opponent, but facing the less famous Spaniard, can Atletico Madrid players endure it? Do not make jokes!
Flores had a sneer on his lips - declare victory now, I'll see how you get slapped in the face after the game!
"Players from both sides have already appeared King Carlos I of Spain is here to watch the game. He will appear at the Copa del Rey final every year Espanyol and Atletico Madrid have taken the advantage in the two meetings in the league this season. Their home court Defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1 and drew 1-1 away from home. Hasselbaink scored all two goals of Atletico Madrid. In this game, he will definitely be focused on by the Spaniard, and the Spaniard's Young forward Tamudo also scored two goals in the game. This forward is the Spaniard's biggest discovery this season! Atletico Madrid used their usual four-five-one tactics recently, with Molina guarding the goal and Aguilera. , Capdevila, Gamarra and Chamot formed the defense, Serena, Belleron, Baraja, Solari and Juninho formed the midfield, and Hasselbaink broke out alone. Before, this was Atletico Madrid's absolute main lineup in recent games, and Spain's is also their usual 442"
In the commentator's explanation, the tedious ceremony before the start of all games is finally over. After Atletico Madrid has won the right to kick off, the game is about to officially begin!
Huge cheers erupted in the stands at the same time. Hasselbaink passed the ball to Juninho and then ran forward.
Two Spanish strikers rushed towards Juninho, JuninhoHowever, Ouyang did not carry the ball forward, but turned around and handed the ball to Belleron, who was farther back.
The two forwards of the Spaniard rushed past Juninho without stopping, and then continued to press Vereron - he is the core of Atletico Madrid's organization and dispatching. How strong the press can be against him will be It has a huge impact on Atletico Madrid's offensive threat!
At the same time, the Spaniard's midfielders have also pressed forward at the same time, faintly blocking Belleron's pass route to the side and forward. They want to force Belleron to dribble the ball forward, so that Mistakes are more likely.
Although the plan is to shrink the defense and allow Atletico Madrid to attack and then counterattack, using this kind of forward pressing in the early stages of the game can sometimes have miraculous effects or make the opponent's judgment wrong.
Facing the opponent¡¯s pressing, Belleron did not pass the ball forward, nor did he break through with the ball. Instead, he turned around and passed the ball backward again!
The ball fell to Gamarra's feet. The Paraguayan did not pass the ball forward, but directly stopped the ball at his feet, as if waiting for the opponent to come up and press
The Spanish players were stunned - continue to press forward? That's a relatively deep place. It's useless to just rely on one or two people to press forward. The defense can pass the ball back and forth and treat you like a monkey. If there are more people up, then the midfielder and backcourt The number of people will be much reduced. At that time, it will not be the counterattack of the Spaniard against Atletico Madrid, but the counterattack of Atletico Madrid against the Spaniard!
Seeing the Espanyol players wanting to go up but not daring to go up, the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands burst into laughter, while the Espanyol fans looked depressed - aggressively trying to force the opponent. As soon as the other party sent the message back, everyone was stunned. This was too embarrassing
Seeing that the opponent did not come up to press, Gamarra also smiled inwardly, and then passed the ball to Chamot, who passed the ball to Aguilera, and Atletico Madrid as a whole began to move forward slowly.
Passing back and forth, constantly passing, gradually pushing the front line forward, this is Atletico Madrid's tactics.
This tactic Dick plagiarized the tactic of the later Barcelona Dream Team, which is the so-called tiki-taka tactic. The distance between the three lines is extremely close, and the opponent's defense line is separated through continuous back and forth passes. Then he took the opportunity to score a goal - of course, the tactic Dick adopted only took advantage of the characteristics of fewer mistakes in passing back and forth and the characteristics of a compact formation. It was very different in other aspects. The main difference is that Goal - The purpose of passing the tiki-taka tactic back and forth is to score goals, and Dick's purpose of using this tactic is to not concede the ball. As for scoring goals? Let's leave it to those two goal cards
Faced with Atletico Madrid's seemingly extremely cautious advancement tactics, the Spaniard felt that it was exactly what they wanted. Although the pressing and pressing just now had no effect, the opponent played so carefully, which was in line with what they had set before. The tactics of delaying time and making the opponent anxious coincide with each other. As long as the opponent continues to delay like this, the Spaniards feel that it is not them who can't bear it first, but the "rich club" Atletico Madrid!
Sometimes the word "rich" not only means glory, but also represents pressure. Atletico Madrid now belongs to the kind of people who still have the label of being rich, but no longer have the strength to match the rich. At this time, the status of the rich becomes even more embarrassing. , because in many cases they can't find the shame to do some embarrassing but very effective ways of playing - Atletico Madrid has played so poorly this season and it is inevitable that they also have this mentality. Ranieri's training has made Valencia stable. After the Italian coach of the defense came to Atletico Madrid, he actually played a risky lineup of 4, 3, and 3 - not so much 4, 3, 3, but rather a crazy 4, 2, 4, because Solari often appeared on the wing. Positionally, and Antic also emphasized using gorgeous offense to win victory after taking office, but he didn't know that Atletico Madrid now has a fairly bright coat, but the inside has already been completely wiped out. Still putting on the airs of a wealthy family is just asking for death!
After Dick took office, he didn't care about this. His sense of crisis was stronger than that of all head coaches. Missing this opportunity meant that he would not have many opportunities in the next few years, so he adopted the strategy against Malaga. They used hand-to-hand offensive tactics, but against Valencia and Barcelona they used ugly iron barrel defensive tactics - people must survive first, and then they can pay attention to face
So in Atletico Madrid now, some players may not be able to bear it, but Dick can definitely bear it.
So in the next game, everyone started to yawn, because Atletico Madrid passed the ball back and forth, and the Spaniard's running back and forth to leave no gaps in the defense was really boring. Atletico Madrid just passed the ball back and forth, without a chance. Absolutely no prestigeThe Spaniard did not attack the ball, but kept changing the focus of defense, not to give Atletico Madrid an opportunity
Now this kind of competition is like a fight between two people. One person is around the opponent around the other party. The other person is where the other party turns.
"Come out!"
"Come here and fight!"
"I don't believe you can keep changing your defensive focus without causing any problems!"
¡°I don¡¯t believe you keep passing the ball around without making any passing mistakes!¡±
For the players on both sides, such a game is of course very tense, and it leaves them with no time to observe other things. But for the fans in the stands, it seems very boring. The supporters of both sides may not feel it yet. What, but those neutrals are basically Real Madrid fans. They dare to boo if Real Madrid doesn¡¯t play well, let alone these two teams - so after twenty minutes of the game, boos came one after another in the neutral stands. It was uploaded and they were both booing Atletico Madrid and booing Espanyol
"Damn it, what does it have to do with you? Damn it." Dick glanced at the stands and curled his lips.
You can boo if you want. Anyway, all I want is victory, and nothing else
