Chapter 268 Feeling Being Calculated

In fact, the play style of defending first and then attacking is itself an effective way to crack Atletico Madrid's tactics.

The prerequisite for Atlético Madrid to use high-position press is first, that the players have strong tactical execution and strictly enforce tactical discipline on the field;

The second is that the team lacks midfielders with excellent organizational skills and pass control awareness. Using high-position presses can better seize the opponent's weak link in the connection between offense and defense to create offensive opportunities;
The third is that the defensive players have strong mobility and defense awareness, and the defensive formation is not scattered;
Fourth, the team has multiple attackers who can hold the ball and advance quickly, and can quickly convert the results obtained by pressing into opportunities to attack the opponent's hinterland.

To break Atletico Madrid's system, it would have been possible to use the same high-position press with continuous ball possession and quick and skillful passing and cutting.

For example, in Hamburg in the first half, Pan Yi wanted to use the team's strong ability to transfer the ball to create space and opportunities to break through the press, and use multiple passes or a precise long pass to tear through the opponent's defense.

However, because Simeone also made targeted arrangements for Hamburg's characteristics in the first half, Hamburg's formation was stretched apart. This allowed Atletico Madrid to often occupy a favorable position to launch a counterattack after a successful counterattack and even had time to wait. Back row teammates plug in.

In this case, the advancement efficiency of Hamburg when holding the ball in the backcourt is not guaranteed, and the pivot midfielder can hardly pass the ball forward. It's all spent on the saw.

That's why Pan Yi wanted to change in the second half.

That is to use another method: keep!
Hold on for a while before talking!

In this way, the relative weakness of Atletico Madrid's own weak midfield creativity can be used to compress the space and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Moreover, many of Atletico Madrid's offenses come from crosses from the wing and oblique passes from the ribs. As long as they limit their wings and watch the double forwards, Atletico Madrid's offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced.

According to the data provided by Nagelsmann, 75% of Atletico Madrid's offense occurs on the wing, and short passes account for 80% of Atletico Madrid's passes.

From these two characteristics, Pan Yi can see that the two most important parts of Atletico Madrid's tactics are physical fitness and full-backs.

Without sufficient physical fitness, it is impossible to form a closing siege; without the insertion of a full-back, the efficiency of the wing attack will drop to a level.

In fact, in this season's UEFA Champions League final on the normal timeline, in the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, it was because Bell and Ronaldo actively returned to defense that effectively restricted Atletico Madrid's side attack.

And Casemiro's retreat gave Pepe and Ramos more energy to go out and mark. This kind of defense is not easy for anyone, let alone Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid only relied on Casillas's attack error to score a goal. In fact, there were not many real opportunities.

Pan Yi can be regarded as learning the "advanced experience" of Real Madrid's victory over Atletico Madrid.

Of course, Real Madrid was able to defeat Atletico Madrid to win the championship in the end. The most important thing was that Atletico Madrid's physical energy was exhausted, which made it impossible to compete with Real Madrid in overtime.

You must know that any tactics are completed by the players, and as long as they are human, they have physical limits.

Since the high press is a physically demanding defensive tactic, even a team like Atletico Madrid cannot press high every minute.

Therefore, another part of the advantage that Pan Yi wants to lure Atletico Madrid to attack is that he can fully mobilize the opponent's formation, improve the running distance and range of the opponent's players, and make the opponent's physical fitness decline faster.

At that time, Pan Yi will let Hamburg attack again, and he will probably face Atletico Madrid's defense that has reduced the quality of pressing.

In the end, Atletico Madrid's hard bridge and hard horse style of play is very easy to cause fouls. If the physical fitness declines, the possibility of fouls will increase significantly.

In this case, set kicks become a very good means of attack.

And Hamburg's set-piece tactics have always had a lot of tricks!
Therefore, Nagelsmann's "showing weakness and allowing Simeone to attack and reveal his flaws" is actually only a small part of the reason for Pan Yi's "defense first and then attack" tactics implemented in the second half.

Pan Yi thought more than Nagelsmann.

He has long thought about various ways to beat Atletico Madrid, and now that one of them fails, he will immediately switch to another.

No tactic is perfect, only when you can flexibly use each tactic and bring it to the extreme, you are the winner!
……

60 minutes into the second half.

The situation on the field has changed from Hamburg's unilateral attack in the first half to mutual offense and defense on both sides.

But the absolute chance is still not much.

Hamburg's quick passes and cuts were unable to penetrate into Atletico Madrid's hinterland, and it was difficult to create threatening shots.

Atletico Madrid's midfield organization appears to be very chaotic, both Villa and Costa's two attacking points are also strangled, making it difficult to create a threat.

At this time, Simeone began to prepare for substitutions.

This gangster is different as soon as he makes a move.

He directly changed three people!

Forward Adrian, midfielder Arda Turan and Diego came on to replace Villa, Koke and Thiago Mendes respectively.

The "unsustainable" on the field in Hamburg was noticed by Simeone with a keen sense of smell!

He soon realized that they might win tonight's game!
And if they return home with an away victory, their chances of advancing to the final will definitely increase!

Everyone knows how terrible it is to be led by Simeone's team. They will definitely set up a 5-5-0 formation to mess with you!

And this large-scale substitution is a manifestation of Simeone's mood.

On the one hand, he hopes to continue to maintain his running ability on the field with a new force; on the other hand, he really feels that his team can perform in offense!

In all fairness, the few minutes after the substitution was the best-looking period on the Atletico Madrid scene.

Atletico Madrid, who had been dormant for most of the time, began to play more counterattacks. Their advance from the backcourt once made Hamburg seem to have less control.

As if he had insight into Simeone's heart, Pan Yi also replaced three players at the same time 5 minutes after Atletico Madrid's substitution-Wu Lei, Paulinho, and Mitrovic appeared together.

Going to Wu Lei is to maintain the speed on the wing and continue to attack the vacancy left by Cork after leaving the field;
With Paulinho, it is to maintain the interception and impact of the midfield, and he can use his explosive shooting ability to break the deadlock.

Mitrovic, on the other hand, increased the hardness of the striker and used the fulcrum of the big center to attack Atletico Madrid's defense.

Of course, such a scene is a bit unbelievable in the eyes of current fans and commentators.

"One coach changes three people at the same time. Although it is rare, I have seen it."

"But another coach immediately changed three people at the same time... this... I really haven't seen it!"

"I feel that Simeone and Pan Yi are a bit tit-for-tat."

"After replacing these three players, Atletico Madrid seems to have improved a little bit offensively. The combination of the midfield has improved significantly, and the players' running has become more active."

"As for the three people that Pan Yi will replace immediately, I haven't seen any purpose yet."

"But we all know that the reason why Pan Yi can become the hottest head coach in today's football is that besides his unique insights on tactics and strategies, his on-the-spot command and substitutions always have wonderful effects."

"Let us wait and see patiently, will this time be another magical substitution!"

"Perhaps to put it this way, let's see which coach's substitution is more magical..."

When the game progressed to the 70th minute, Atletico Madrid played a quick counterattack.

Gabi distributed the ball to the left and handed it to Felipe.

The left-back from Brazil dribbled the ball quickly down the left, just past the halfway line, glanced ahead, and quickly sent a diagonal pass forward to find Diego Costa.

"Great Beauty" Costa competed with Van Dijk for the top spot and won the spot.

The ball fell and near the top of the penalty area, Atletico Madrid's other striker Adrian stopped the ball first, then leaned against Rudiger with his body, and poked the ball to the side before Robertson came to help defend the ball .

The ball leaked from between the two Hamburg defenders, and Atletico Madrid midfielder Arda Turan rushed up and volleyed vigorously!
This shot was powerful and heavy, and went straight to the dead corner, which made the Hamburg fans at the People's Park Stadium exclaim.

But this time, a figure flashed in front of the goal, and then firmly pressed the ball under him!

It is the goalkeeper of Hamburg, Navas "Nadu Wall"!

The Hamburg fans uttered a cry of survival, and then gave Keylor Navas their own applause.

"Atletico Madrid's attack is a bit fierce, what should I do?"

On the sidelines, Inzaghi frowned and asked eagerly.

Pan Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, Shanren has his own tricks."

"...?" Inzaghi didn't know why.

What time is it, are you still playing charades?

"Atletico Madrid has been maintaining this kind of high-intensity high-position pressing, and their physical strength is almost at the limit." Pintus said, "And this time they are also attacking very aggressively, which has caused excessive consumption, so... ..."

Nagelsmann took over and said: "So, their quick counterattack should be almost at the end of their battle."

Pan Yi also smiled and patted Inzaghi on the shoulder: "Next, watch our performance with peace of mind!"

……

In fact, Simeone was a little skeptical at the beginning.

After all, it is not Atletico Madrid's strong point to take the initiative to attack. It is definitely not a good thing if they mess up because of this.

But judging from the more than 20 minutes after the start of the second half, especially the situation after he changed three players in a row, he may have made the right bet.

Now Hamburg really can't stand the crazy press of Atletico Madrid!

It is Hamburg that is in disarray, as evidenced by Arda Turan's threatening shot just now.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid is indeed trying to make persistent efforts at this time to break the city of Hamburg.

Returning to Atletico Madrid's home court in the second round, even if Hamburg recovers and can play a more beautiful offense at that time, as long as Atletico Madrid tightens its fence and fights back, the chances of winning are very high.

But Simeone soon discovered that since the last shot, it was difficult for Atletico Madrid to find another chance to attack.

Burgers seem to be fighting back!

After replacing Mitrovic, the Serbian center's tactical role in the frontcourt is very obvious, and it also drives Wu Lei and Salah on the two sides to let go of their hands and feet.

Atletico Madrid's defense was already exhausted, and Mitrovic's physical confrontation brought new problems to the two central defenders.

Godin, in particular, was obviously overwhelmed.

His performance on the court is very calm, he has a good sense of position, he has a good grasp of the position and the timing of his feet, and his prediction is excellent. Ding is the player who best represents the temperament of the team.

But his only shortcoming may be that his body is slightly thin.

Now under the repeated impact of Mitrovic, Godin, who has already consumed a lot, feels even more strenuous.

The full-backs Felipe and Juanfran on both sides are similar.

After Wu Lei came on the field, he formed two wings with Salah on the other side, constantly pulling Atletico Madrid's defense, which made them feel a little exhausted.

At this time, the disadvantages of Simeone changing three players at once appeared.

This gamble is equivalent to betting everything. If you want to adjust now, there is no room for substitutions!

Therefore, the Atletico Madrid generals can only grit their teeth and persist.

Of course, the most commendable thing about them is that they all have steel-like willpower.

Even if the physical strength is exhausted, the technical movements of the ball can't keep up with the thinking of the head, but the Atlético players will still insist on running to the corresponding position to defend and attack.

So the game entered the last 10 minutes.

In the 85th minute, after Hamburg stole the ball in the backcourt, Paulinho passed the ball to Wu Lei, and Wu Lei quickly dribbled the ball forward along the left.

Just after passing the center line, before Arda Turan approached, Wu Lei made a cross pass to Kanter who was in the space behind Gabi. He sprinted forward quickly and pointed forward, signaling Kanter to pass forward.

Kanter obviously understood, he came to a very tacit understanding with a non-stop pass and passed the ball directly behind Gabi.

This is also the front of Wu Lei's sprint.

He hurried to catch up, just in time to get rid of Gabi.

A beautiful two over one cooperation!

And just as Pan Yi and Nargesman expected, Arda Turan is a midfielder who has a strong ability to get rid of the ball, has a wide vision of passing the ball, and is more inclined to attack. Compared with Cork, there is still a certain gap.

When Wu Lei and Kanter completed the two-for-one cooperation and Wu Lei had dribbled into the penalty area, Arda Turan woke up like a dream and ran back to defend frantically.

But it was too late.

He was already at the side and rear of Wu Lei, Wu Lei just made a slight trip, relying on his speed to forcibly overtake Arda Turan, and continued to kill him.

At this time, the fans at the People's Park Stadium stood up involuntarily.

In front of Wu Lei at this time is Atletico Madrid defender Godin.

For Hamburg, Mitrovic is already in position in the middle, and Salah on the right has also quickly inserted into the penalty area from the other side.

Wu Lei hesitated for a moment, but Godin pounced on him like a tiger.

This experienced Uruguayan central defender is generally not reckless to grab, but once he is about to make a move, he is full of confidence.

He just could see that the young striker of Longguo in front of him must be a little timid!

At this time, he just wanted to grab the ball while he was hesitating!

At this time, the position of the home team coach's command area happened to be relatively close to the edge of the penalty area. Pan Yi also stood at the corner of the command area and yelled at Wu Lei: "Pass him!"

Pan Yi also knows that Wu Lei's biggest shortcoming is that he hesitates at critical moments, and sometimes dare not make moves-in fact, this is also a common problem of Longguo players.

As the head coach, Pan Yi wants to encourage his disciples to play their own technical moves in such a crucial game to boost their confidence.

Although in terms of personal skills, Wu Lei is definitely not as good as Salah or even Sun Xingmin.

There is no way for him to do all kinds of fancy fake moves like many skilled stars, to even count people or something.

But he also has his own characteristics.

That is, his speed is very fast, and his ability to change direction is also very strong. Once he is allowed to rush up and give him space, he can really create a deadly threat.

And now, there is such a space between him and Godin!

As for Godin, speed has never been his strong point.

Therefore, facing this Atletico Madrid's top central defender, Wu Lei actually has a chance!
At this time, Wu Lei obviously also heard Pan Yi's roar in the back of his head, and he also made his own choice in this flash of light.

Wu Lei directly made a gesture to cut inward, and Godin immediately shifted his center of gravity, ready to stretch his legs to touch the ball controlled by Wu Lei.

But at this moment, Wu Lei slammed on the brakes, and then flicked the ball to the baseline with his left foot, and the whole person suddenly accelerated, throwing Godin away!
In the blink of an eye, Wu Lei had already run three meters away, while Godin was tricked by Wu Lei so that he lost his center of gravity and slipped into the penalty area.

It's just that although Godin was passed, his blocking still played a certain role.

After Wu Lei waded the ball to the baseline, the angle of the shot was also very small.

The tall and tall Courtois stood at the near post, tightly sealing the entire area, and Wu Lei had almost no shooting angle to find.

So, after another sudden pause, Wu Lei sent a cross pass with his left foot!
The football slid from left to right along the penalty area line.

Salah, who was still on the periphery, quickly inserted from the right rib to the right side of the goal. Facing the cross pass from Wu Lei, he pushed the ball with his left foot and the ball went straight into Atletico Madrid's goal.

Courtois, who was still standing on the left post, moved quickly, but there was no way to prevent the goal.

"Goallllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"

"Hamburg scored a goal! Now the score is 1:0! Hamburg leads at home!"

"Wonderful assist from Wu Lei, Salah calmly grasped the opportunity!"

"It was a late goal, but at the same time it was a crucial one!"

On the sidelines, Pan Yi also jumped up excitedly after seeing the goal.

It is really not easy to score a goal in Atletico Madrid!

And as the commentator said, this goal is indeed critical.

Don't look at just one goal, which can give Pan Yi an advantage in the second round of the game.

After all, Atletico Madrid's signature is defense. If they steal one and then set up the bus, even Pan Yi is not sure that he will be able to knock on their door.

But now that Hamburg is leading, Atletico Madrid is bound to press out and attack, so that Hamburg's chances will be greatly increased-just like the second half today.

After the goal, the Hamburg fans at the People's Park Stadium were also extremely excited.

They shouted loudly with Salah, Wu Lei and others who ran to the sidelines to celebrate, cheering for this goal!

……

In the end, Hamburg defeated Atletico Madrid with a score of 1:0 at home.

"You guys played very well, I have a feeling of being calculated by you."

When the two coaches shook hands, Simeone stopped being cool, but suddenly said this sentence.

Pan Yi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "If I don't count against you, I really don't know how I scored against a defense like yours."

As one of the most famous football coaches in the world today, Simeone can certainly see Pan Yi's targeted tactical design.

It's just that he was too big at the time, and used up all the substitutions at once, so there was no room for maneuver.

Although Simeone also made some tactical adjustments on the sidelines at the time, there are still differences between players after all. There are some tactical intentions that require specific players to perform better.

For example, if you let Messi do Casemiro's work, can you do a good job?
It's not that Messi can't do it, but it must be discounted.

So Simeone lost the game, and he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that it would be fine if he reserved a substitution.

"Hmph, I can only tell you that when you come to the Calderon Stadium, with your performance today, you will lose!" Simeone said confidently.

Pan Yi smiled and asked, "Are you so sure that you will win?"

Simeone also showed a rare smile: "Hey, do you really think that you can win the entire semi-final by winning me by one goal at home? Who will go to the Stadium of Light to play the final? Who knows... "

"But this season, I don't know what it's like to lose." Pan Yi shot back, "On the contrary, there are quite a few teams that have been double-killed by me. Manchester City, Manchester United..."

"It's okay not to mention that kind of Premier League sissy team!" Simeone raised his hand impatiently.

Pan Yi almost laughed out loud.

The "Premier League strength" that Gary Neville keeps talking about, in the eyes of coach Simeone, is mother football.

I don't know how Neville will feel if he tells the story.

Will you suggest that Simeone take Atletico Madrid to try the Premier League team?

Sorry, they did touch each other, and they actually knocked out Chelsea...

"Your temper is quite to my liking. I can treat you to dinner when I have time... Forget it, let's not talk, I will wait for you at the Calderon Stadium." After that, Simeone waved his hand and turned around just go.

Pan Yi watched the back of Simeone's departure, but muttered in his heart:

Why does my temper suit his appetite?I'm not as fierce as he is on the sidelines!

Oh, maybe it's because of what he said just now, the coach with this personality likes to be straightforward.

However, what I said is indeed true!I'm going to double kill Atletico Madrid!
