Football: BBC template starts, Messi is stunned

Atletico Madrid is actually fighting on the third front this season. league.

Champions League.

Copa del Rey.

All three lines are advancing!

The league has been chasing Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Still in the first echelon of La Liga with hope of winning the championship.

The Copa del Rey is painless.

Already eliminated against Athletic Bilbao!

The Champions League games are actually what Simeone values more.

After all, playing well in the Champions League is of great value.

Not only can you get generous UEFA bonuses.

It will also help enhance the reputation of Atletico Madrid in Europe and even the world!

Su Chen joined Atletico Madrid midway through this season.

The registration time for the Champions League has been missed.

Therefore, Su Chen did not appear in Atletico Madrid’s Champions League.

So even though Atletico Madrid advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League with first place in the group.

But without Su Chen’s help.

Atletico Madrid had a very difficult time in the knockout stages.

In the two rounds of home and away matches with Chelsea.

Lost to the Blues 1:2 away from home.

Atletico Madrid, which returns home, must fight to the death.

You must beat your opponent by at least two goals to advance!

Facing his old club.

Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa can be said to be holding back his energy.

I want to perform well!

But even he himself didn’t think of it.

In a confrontation with Chelsea’s tall central defender Cahill, he exerted too much force.

As a result, Costa’s own thigh muscle was severely strained!

Watching Costa limping off the court with a frustrated look on his face.

Simeone’s heart was in his throat – this guy’s injury won’t be serious, right?

The result gave Simeone a blow. Atletico Madrid

‘s medical team conducted an evaluation and analysis.

Costa has a thigh muscle strain and will be out for at least two months!

That is in the next two months.

Costa cannot play for Atletico Madrid.

How can this not make Simeone distressed?

At this moment, he crossed his arms over his chest.

Looking at assistant coach Lopez who was busy in front of him.

He was tinkering with the tactical board vigorously and kept writing and drawing on it with a black carbonic acid pen.

“”Don’t be busy Lopez,” Simeone said helplessly,”At this stage, there is no player in our team who can replace Diego Costa’s center position.”

López stopped writing.

He looked back at Simeone depressedly.

“How about letting our substitute forward Gameiro play in this position and give it a try?”

“Pull it down!”

Simone snorted coldly and waved his hand.

“Gameiro is only 1.72 meters tall, not strong, and can’t header the ball well. If you ask him to play Costa’s center position, I might as well play it myself.”

“Then it can only be Suchen,” Lopez spread his hands,”This kid is strong, has good heading and jumping, at least he is very similar to Costa in terms of physique, otherwise, we can’t let Griezmann go. Stand in the center position and fight hand-to-hand with the opponent’s defender!”

It is not that coach Simeone has not considered Lopez’s proposal.

But he was a little hesitant.

“When Su Chen was in our 442, he played as a right midfielder. Now when we play in our 433, he also plays as a right winger. This kid has never played as a center!”

“Now let him take Costa’s place, I don’t know if he can do it.”

López was also silent.

He understood what Simeone meant.

To be a qualified center forward, you definitely don’t have to be tall, long legs, muscular, able to header, or jump high to play well.

Don’t look at the need for a center forward to play well. Opponent defenders fight hand-to-hand and swing axes at each other.

But standing as a center actually requires football skills!

When should you pass the ball and when should you stop the ball? When should you dribble the ball and carry the defender forward?

When should you do it ? Back up, leaning on the opponent’s defender, waiting for teammates to respond?

These skills must be mastered by the center.

It cannot be accomplished in a day or two, or in a month or two.

Su Chen has never played a center.

At this time, let him replace the experienced center veteran Diego Costa.

Can Suchen do it?

Simeone is very uncertain!

What’s more, Simeone has other concerns.

Even if Suchen catches the duck and takes the place of Diego Costa’s center position.

Then In Simeone’s original 433 tactic, who will play the right wing position?

Su Chen played very well in this position!

Helping the team win many consecutive games.

Atletico Madrid has never fallen behind in catching up with Real Madrid and Barcelona..

If Su Chen’s position is changed rashly – maybe he will become a dog instead of a tiger!

Not only did the center not play well, but there is no one left in the winger position.

Isn’t this a waste of martial arts!

“Let me think about this issue again,” Simone closed his eyes tiredly and rubbed his temples,”It’s very nerve-wracking! La Liga has entered the 12th round of the final sprint. At this juncture, Costa was really injured at the wrong time!”

In the following morning’s training,

Simeone changed the formation back to their old version of 422.

Su Chen returned to the right midfielder position he played before.

The combination on the front line.

It was the two French main players Gullie Zeman and the team’s substitute player Gameiro.

According to Simeone’s vision, once Diego Costa can no longer play at the center position,

Atletico Madrid’s seams will greatly weaken the suppression of the opponent’s defense!

The opponent’s defense can advance boldly and put pressure on the midfield.

Then Simeone must ensure that Atletico Madrid has 4 people in the midfield.

Only in this way can the defense be stable.

However, the effect of the training that day was not good!

Since Diego Costa is not at the center position.

Atletico Madrid lacks a bridgehead.

Whether it is counterattack and forward pressure.

Or positional battle to advance.

I always feel that there is one less point in front to hold the ball.

Even Suchen himself is very uncomfortable playing!

Diego Costa’s goals and assists are not as good as Suchen and Griezmann.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he is not as important as the other two strike partners.

But only when he is not on the court, the players will find out.

An excellent The existence of a stand-up center is so important to Atletico Madrid’s overall offensive power!

Without Costa, the entire team’s operation is far worse than before.

After the training that day, the players were not in high spirits.

Su Chen was directly He walked towards coach Simeone.

He had just started the Benzema center template.

The original center Costa encountered an injury.

At this time,

Su Chen had no reason not to take the initiative to step in!

“Boss, I have a suggestion,” Su Chen said with firmness in his tone,”Let me play as a center forward. I can replace Diego Costa, stand in the deepest part of the opponent’s defense, and lead the team out of danger!”
