The whistle sounded and the football flew from the corner. Standing in the restricted area, watching the football fly up, Gao shunyao immediately ran up in the middle of the restricted area and ran towards the front point.
As a center who is very good at heading, Gao shunyao has a strong judgment on the football line. In the moment of football flying up, he had seen that football thought about the middle position behind him. However, he didn't rush to the landing position of the football at the first time. He knew that under the defense of the opponent, he was not likely to win the ball. His running is to open the defense for his teammates and let manzuki behind him finish this attack.
Attack is not a matter of one person, you can't always think that the benefits are all your own. Only by cooperating with each other can the attack be started, which is what a player must understand. Gao shunyao's running made the guards around him keep up with him, while keyar near the penalty spot didn't move, and the supplementary Atletico Madrid players didn't move, which made a vacancy behind Gao shunyao. When the football flew over, manzuki bypassed the defense and ran quickly towards the empty space in front of him.
Wolfsburg's set piece attack is still very beautiful. But this attack, but did not be able to smoothly open the door of the opponent. In front of the goal, Miranda has also followed up, he and manzuki jumped up together, the football was he took the lead, all of a sudden out of the penalty area.
Atletico's defense is as sharp as the last one. Gao shunyao sighed in his heart, and also sighed for the toughness of his opponent. Atletico this team, really has a strong strength, their defense, absolutely can make people headache.
Thinking about these, Gao shunyao didn't ignore his running. The other side is not only strong in defense, but also good in counterattack. He saw where the football fell. Atletico's players had already run past. Tiago received the ball and passed it to cork for the first time. Atletico's counterattack had begun.
On the side, cork ran quickly with the ball. Because of Wolfsburg's fast attack, Kirk also formed a space here. In front of him, although Rodriguez has stopped him, because there is no other person to assist in defense, on the side, two people formed a one-on-one defense, and because of the entanglement in the restricted area, other players of both sides have not come back in time, and there is no way to meet them in time.
Wolfsburg's opening fast break is really a very effective offensive, but it also caused their backcourt, facing a great threat. However, in the face of the other side's single player defense, cork hesitated for a while, after all, did not break forward. He kicked the ball to Rodriguez, let the football hit Rodriguez's leg, and then popped the boundary.
He didn't choose fast break, he wanted to be steady.
His action makes Gao shunyao and other people's rapid return to prevent change meaningless. The Wolfsburg players went back 20 meters quickly, but it was useless. Rushing to attack has become a waste of physical strength, which makes people speechless. However, in the face of this situation, Gao shunyao shows a smile.
Atletico didn't choose to attack. In front of the good news, it doesn't matter what physical strength is consumed.
This game started until now, Wolfsburg has been launching a steady stream of offensive, and in the attack, their backcourt also has no small loopholes. Wolfsburg has revealed this kind of loophole. It is also a big problem how opponents will choose. The choice of Atletico Madrid at this time, for this game, also has a great significance, whether they choose to attack or defend, this is also the thing that the Wolfsburg players are very concerned about.
They want to know what Atletico's tactical thinking is.
In the face of the opponent's crazy attack, some teams will choose the same pressure, take advantage of their own advantages, further expand their advantages, and strive to win at one stroke. Such a choice seems to be the most domineering and enterprising way.
If it is Bayern, Barcelona, such as the attack based team, estimated to see the opportunity, will not hesitate to attack out. For those teams who advocate attack and are keen on goals, attack is their favorite choice. As long as there is such a possibility, they will not let it go easily. And Gao shunyao is also very clear that if his team really dares to pose with Bayern, Bayern will not hesitate to play the two sides of Wolfsburg to tell them what is offensive.
Wolfsburg's choice is to attack, and if you love to attack on the team, this kind of play, is suicidal. However, Wolfsburg are now facing Atletico, but not a love of offensive team.
Atletico Madrid pays attention to the balance of attack and defense, but because of their limited strength, their tactical thinking is more conservative. The characteristic of conservative teams is that when they encounter problems, they are more used to thinking about problems from a conservative point of view. They first look for their own loopholes and try not to go wrong, rather than aggressive active attack and attack the enemy's weakness.
Such an idea is the most important factor for a conservative team to ensure their results in many games - 1-0 is also a win, and it is the key for the weak team to beat the strong team repeatedly, and it is also the principle that Atletico Madrid has always followed.
Compared with the opponent's flaws, Atletico's players and coaches, after seeing Wolfsburg's crazy attack, don't want to take the initiative to attack, but don't let their own attack cause problems in the back defense. Therefore, for teams like Atletico Madrid, when facing Wolfsburg's open attack situation, their approach is not crazy attack.In the face of such a situation, their ideas are quite different. After all, for those conservative teams, how to ensure that their advantages are not lost after they have advantages is the most important. In contrast, expanding the advantages is a secondary task.
Although Atletico Madrid scored another goal, Wolfsburg's turnover hope is basically gone. But the problem is whether Atletico can score a goal quickly and ensure that their team will not lose the ball. Launch a counterattack, attack Wolfsburg's backcourt, what's the probability of success? And if you launch a counterattack, can your backcourt still guarantee that there is no problem under Wolfsburg's attack? These are also the problems facing Atletico.
In the last game, Atletico and Wolfsburg had a preliminary understanding of each other. Atletico Madrid are very clear, Wolfsburg's defense is still good, although the last game lost to them, but the 1-0 victory, really can not be regarded as a big failure. This time back to the home, Wolfsburg's strength must have further improved, although they now put forward the offensive posture, but Atletico is still worried that Wolfsburg's back court, may not be so good to break through.
And Wolfsburg last game attack is not smooth, but at least in the last moment of the game, there is a set piece almost broke the net. This game, back at home, has a greater advantage, Atletico Madrid if not convergence, blindly attack, then maybe, Wolfsburg really may break.
Although there is a gap between Wolfsburg and Atletico, the gap is not very big after all. Atletico have to be careful when they fight at the home of Wolfsburg. Although the opponent attack, the backcourt seems to have a lot of opportunities, but if Atletico Madrid want to use these opportunities to win, it is not easy.
Moreover, even if, to say the least, both sides didn't score, but if it costs a lot of physical strength because of the quick attack in the opening stage, it's also not worth the loss for Atletico. After all, compared with Wolfsburg, Atletico's physical strength is also a big problem, excessive consumption, they are also very difficult to bear.
In the face of opportunities, Atletico is worried about its own losses. And this kind of worry, entangled Atletico Madrid up and down, eventually make them in the face of such a situation, or choose to retreat rather than attack.
Wolfsburg last game, in the face of Atletico Madrid did not play a very good attack. Because the technique is worse than the opponent, and the style of the ball is not as good as the opponent, they have no lower limit, so they have no advantage in the game as a whole. After that match, Atletico Madrid will easily leave an impression: as long as they can defend safely enough, then Wolfsburg's attack will not work.
To say the least, with enough physical strength, Atletico Madrid can attack at any time. Although the away game makes their goal difficult, it also makes their goal more meaningful. Wolfsburg has no away goals, which makes Atletico's away goals worth thousands of dollars. Even if Wolfsburg can score goals at home, Atletico will not worry about the chance to overturn as long as they keep their physical strength.
This is their tactical thinking before the game, even in the face of change, they did not change their mind. If you don't attack, just stick to defend, maybe you can't expand the score, but you have a great chance to ensure that your team doesn't lose the ball and keep the advantage until the end of the game. If you attack, although you have the possibility of scoring, you may not be able to score. On the contrary, because the counterattack reveals the flaws behind you, Wolfsburg's counterattack is successful It's lost.
In Atletico's opinion, he can't choose to attack at this time, otherwise, he will be led by the nose by the enemy.
Wolfsburg's posture, it is easy to leave such an impression on the opponent, but also affect the opponent's judgment.
And obviously, they did. Seeing that the Atletico Madrid players didn't want to take advantage of Wolfsburg's quick attack opportunity to fight back, but in the further retreat, Gao shunyao also knew that Wolfsburg's plan worked.
Atletico's players, after all, do not want to choose a fight to the end of the road. As the dominant side, their idea is to retreat and defend. They have an advantage in their hands, and they want to maximize the advantage, rather than further attack to expand the advantage.
Conservative teams sometimes lack the courage to fight, especially when they have the advantage. Simone as a young coach, need his high level, but the lack of experience also makes it difficult for him to overcome his ideological conservatism. He led Atletico Madrid, in this game or the choice of defense, rather than strengthen the offensive.
And for Wolfsburg, that's exactly what they need: their gamble is completely right.
