A team with excellent defense is not enough to win the league championship. Only a team with excellent attack and defense can constantly win. This is not too difficult to understand. And now the Atletico Madrid is the same, in addition to their own defense, the attack is also excellent, which is one of the reasons why they lead the La Liga.
Looking at the game video, Wolfsburg players for Atletico's defense is impressive, and their attack, they seem to soon find some shadow: and this time, they see is not Dortmund or Bayern's game tactics shadow, in the opponent, they seem to see their own offensive characteristics.
This Atletico's defense is excellent, but also attaches great importance to the fast counter attack tactics. And different from La Liga team generally like to do the ground ball with the counterattack, this Atletico Madrid counterattack, many times is to use high-altitude ball to deal with. Compared with other La Liga teams, this Atletico does not seek to control the ball, but seems to like fast counterattack, high ball bottom, long pass and hanging, which is somewhat similar to Wolfsburg's tactics.
Such tactics don't look like a Spanish team. In the memory of Wolfsburg players, La Liga teams are good players with the ground ball. Their attack, even if it is a counterattack, is more dependent on the ground ball. However, this Atletico Madrid, obviously let them see a different style of La Liga, let them appreciate another kind of football.
If it is normal for Wolfsburg as a Bundesliga team to like heading attack, it is strange that Atletico Madrid as a La Liga team should have so many heading attacks. As the representative of Latin football, it's hard to think about playing high ball.
But, strange or not, it's a very useful tactic.
Good defense, quick counterattack. Give up control of the ball in midfield, give the ball to the opponent, his attack is never tardy fast through midfield. Focus on the attack of the two flanks, focus on the ability of the front court players to attack, such tactics, it is not enough staffing of the weak team need to play the defensive counter attack tactics to the extreme.
Compared with their neighbors, Atletico can only be said to be a poor guy, and the poor use their unique tactics to make their team win a lot of games, which is the proof of success.
They have successfully built their own tactical system and made the team brilliant.
"I always feel that, compared with the fact that Chelsea are preparing to hire new players and form the team's lineup in the next decade, Atletico's current lineup and playing style is more like a long-term plan for the future. Chelsea said they wanted to play beautiful football, but they didn't see any action. Atletico Madrid wanted to challenge the Western Super League, which was a real start. Simone is a great coach to be able to make such a long-term plan according to the situation that his team doesn't give him
For the tactics of this team, Wolfsburg players also have some sincere praise: Simone's Atletico did not play well, but his accurate positioning for his team, reasonable tactical configuration, excellent personnel composition, also let his team have enough strength to compete with the strong team. Admittedly, this team may not be a strong team, but their excellent tactics are enough to deal with the most powerful enemy - in fact, they did, and their results are enough to show that.
This team can compete with the Western super team, they are absolutely not weak. Their counterattack, enough to break the door of the strongest team. Moreover, for such a weak team as Wolfsburg, Lai said that Atletico's threat may not only be their counterattack.
When watching the team's game, another more frustrating thing is that although the team seems to be very conservative in tactics, when it comes to the technical level, they are not bad at all. Although they don't object to the long pass from the side, this team has a very detailed small technical cooperation in the front court. In the rib area of the wing, their players can carry out very delicate cooperation, rib interspersed work, they can do a good job. Not only that, their players are also very good at passing the ball through two or three people to ensure that the ball is under their feet, so that they will not be at a loss when facing the opponent's close.
Compared with them, Wolfsburg, who also likes Counterattack Tactics, is undoubtedly a little rough. Although their offensive tactics and Atletico have a lot of similarities, but in some details, they are not as good as Atletico.
They don't have such excellent ability of flank cooperation. More often, they rely on the skills of the players themselves, and they can't let the players guarantee the ball right through cooperation. More often, they can only rely on the ability of their forwards to hold the ball. Even if it is the same counter attack tactics, Wolfsburg's counter attack in front of Atletico Madrid also appears a little rough.
Atletico's players, after all, are Spanish players. In terms of technical delicacy, they still surpass the Bundesliga teams. The use of a large number of Latin American players, the overall emphasis on the technical League environment, makes Atletico Madrid choose the defensive counter attack tactics, but still retain excellent technical ability, even if the team's main tactics is counter attack.
And this kind of delicate technology will also bring a lot of trouble to Wolfsburg: because of enough delicate technology, although this team focuses on fast counterattack, their foot cooperation is not too bad. Compared with Wolfsburg's forwards, I'm afraid they will still have a lot of breakthrough, which is enough to make Wolfsburg headache.It's troublesome enough for the last opponent who defends and counterattacks. The opponent who defends and counterattacks not only has rich experience and outstanding ability, but also has the ability to play technical football. It's a nightmare. Considering that this team has been competing with the West super teams for a season, obviously they also have good psychological quality. Such guys have top tactical, technical and psychological quality, which makes it difficult for Wolfsburg players to find any comments.
"It's hard to imagine how Atletico can do all this. The defense is excellent, the attack is sharp, and the technique is not bad These things, we did not do, Dortmund did not do, how did they do it? How do they guarantee their strength in the game? Is their technology really much better than ours? "
Watching the game, Turan also casually said his views, and to his comments, Shahin also began to answer.
"I don't think it has much to do with technology. Atletico can play so well because they seem to play a little bit... "
Shahin stopped for a long time, trying to find a suitable word, but he couldn't find it. On the other hand, pericic directly added, "dirty. They play dirty
Perricic's words are not polite, but the evaluation of this sentence, let Shahin also shut up. There is nothing wrong with what pericic said. The reason why Atletico's tactics can play so well, to a large extent, has something to do with their dirty level of playing.
Apart from attack and defense, the biggest impression of this Atletico is that in all games, all their players seem to be full of all kinds of small moves, exerting pressure on their opponents. These little moves are not big, and they don't seem to be in the category of giving cards any time, but they are full of the whole game. Wolfsburg players have never seen such a play. Watching the video, almost all the players frown.
Wolfsburg itself is not a white lotus, they are not a few foul time. However, even Wolfsburg has committed a lot of fouls, but most of them are concentrated on the defensive players. This Atletico Madrid, starting from Costa in the front court, seems that everyone likes fouls very much, which is very rare.
Moreover, their fouls must have been unified plan, this team fouls a lot, but rarely that kind of dangerous fouls. It seems that they like to use the card position and small action to press in the midfield far away from the penalty area or near the sideline. In these positions, generally speaking, the players holding the ball will not accelerate. Even if there is confrontation between the two sides, the harm will not be great. Therefore, these Fouls of Atletico will not be taken seriously by the referee. However, when such fouls are numerous and persist in the whole game, their opponents will also feel very difficult.
This kind of foul may not hurt the opponent, but it can definitely disrupt the rhythm of the opponent, and make the opponent unable to play calmly. In particular, some of the Fouls of Atletico are not for the game. Some of their actions in the game seem to be deliberately provoking the opponent and deliberately provoking the player's mood, which is also an eye opener for the Wolfsburg players.
Fouls are not advocated in football matches. Atletico Madrid just turned foul into tactics, which is also a kind of ability. And their competition can always grasp the rhythm, will not be suppressed by the opponent, largely because of their ability: lack of technology, personnel is not good enough, then use fouls to make up, with reasonable control of fouls, to achieve their own victory.
So kick, the achievement of Atletico's victory, let people see their dirty. It's an eye opener to treat fouls as art.
All the time, when people talk about dirty football, the first thing they think about is the Premier League. As the league with the most loose whistle in the whole football world, the players in the Premier League are dirty, which is well known. Some people even say that when the Spanish team arrives in the Premier League, it is estimated that they will not be able to make up the team before Christmas. However, maybe a team like Barcelona needs to worry about such things, but Atletico Madrid certainly does not need to worry about such troubles. They went to the Premier League, with a more relaxed whistle environment, I'm afraid they will be really like fish in water, unstoppable.
Simone, who was born in South America, brought his own offensive and defensive tactics to Atletico Madrid, but also brought the characteristics of South American football to Europe. Compared with South America, it seems that European football is worse.
This team, it's very dirty. However, it is also because of this dirty, so that they have an advantage in many places. Now, Wolfsburg players need to overcome the difficulties, there is a problem: in the face of such a dirty opponent, how can they play well?
