After 45 minutes, Wolfsburg finally scored a goal. After a half court attempt, Wolfsburg broke the goal of Atletico with a set piece from the ground. The sudden attack, the uncanny way, let this ball until the goal, also let people feel unbelievable. Watching the Wolfsburg players running wildly and celebrating on the field, whether they are Wolfsburg fans or Atletico fans, they all feel that these guys are really incredible.
In the long-distance pass of the ground ball, the forward intentionally missed the ball to support his teammates. The defender made the pivot in the front court and put a long-range shot in the back. Wolfsburg's attack, even if we look at it later in the past, also makes people feel endless aftertaste. Such a shot condensed too much effort of the players. It's really exciting to see such a beautiful goal in the semi-final of the Champions League. This goal made the whole stadium restless during the half-time.
On the one hand, Wolfsburg fans are cheering for the football. His team's attack of the ball in this half has not been smooth, finally scored a beautiful goal, the fans are naturally jubilant. On the other hand, they are also excited about the situation of the game. Anyone can see that after scoring one goal, Wolfsburg's advantage has expanded too much.
"After scoring this goal, Atletico will be more dangerous. Atletico's strength is better than Wolfsburg's. it is reasonable to say that even if they play overtime, they will not suffer. But Atletico's physical strength, compared with Wolfsburg poor, extra time duel, they may not be able to adhere to the down. If Atletico started the game and played with a little enterprising spirit, maybe their situation will be much better now. "
Looking at the scene of the game, the commentator is also doing analysis. After Wolfsburg scored the goal, he also understood that this game, Atletico's situation is also dangerous. After the start of the second half, Atletico was afraid that it was not so good to play. As a commentator, he could not help criticizing Atletico's conservative tactics. But he himself knows that his view is just a hindsight.
His comments look like that, but in fact, there are many problems. Sometimes, theory and reality can't be separated. It must be said that Atletico doesn't have enough enterprising spirit if it doesn't attack. This is really unfair to Simone.
It's well known that one goal leads to two goals away from home. In the case of Atletico, as long as you can score goals away from home, you can win steadily. They are not unclear. However, considering the strength of both sides, even if Atletico Madrid want to score away, they have to consider whether they have the ability.
Atletico's home game has proved that in the match between Wolfsburg and Atletico, Atletico's advantage is not too big. Even at home, and the whistle is good for them, they have not been able to achieve a big win over Wolfsburg. Atletico's lineup, after all, lack of top players, their attack depends on the whole, which also makes it difficult for them to face extremely tight defense opponents. If they attack with all their strength, they will have to put in a lot of manpower. Although they are likely to get chances, they will also have flaws in their backcourt, and these flaws may be used by others.
Wolfsburg this game, from the beginning showed their ability to attack the side. Although in the game, they did not rely on this ability to successfully pose a threat, but if Simone's team really dare to press up, who knows if Wolfsburg will hit them by surprise? Moreover, even if Atletico Madrid press up, how can they guarantee their goals? If there is no goal, but consumed a lot of physical strength, then how to do?
If Wolfsburg's attack is as bad as Chelsea's, Atletico Madrid will attack without hesitation. If Wolfsburg's defense is as bad as Arsenal's, Simone will not hesitate. However, Wolfsburg are not those teams after all, their strength is still very strong, which makes Simone have to choose his own policy.
Defense may be more conservative, but it's the best way for both sides to attack. Even if Wolfsburg's strange moves come out one after another, it's also an indisputable fact that it successfully overcame Atletico's defense. At least, even if Atletico are overcast now, they don't consume too much physical strength in half-time defense, so they still keep the possibility of attack.
As long as they have the strength, they have the hope of turning over.
Sometimes, it's easy to comment on the game as a commentator, but the players and coaches who really compete on the court also have different ideas. Just like this game, the commentator can say that Atletico's conservatism led to Wolfsburg's counterattack, but if Atletico held on and didn't lose the ball in 90 minutes, Simone's tactical arrangement was just very smart - he was not physically strong enough, and he could use a reasonable defense to defeat the enemy, which would be great. And if Simone really let his team attack, maybe Atletico Madrid will be battered even worse by Wolfsburg, and they don't even have the strength to fight back. The commentator didn't consider the consequences.
After all, critics are not the coach of the team. They just need to think about how to win, not how to lose. But such a thing, as the coach of the team has to consider.
In fact, on the pitch, Simone didn't think so. After scoring a goal, Wolfsburg's players also started to shrink their defense and returned to their own half. After the start of the second half, Wolfsburg players no longer press on, but quickly back, in their own half to build up a defense.The game seems to return to the situation of the previous game, Wolfsburg chose to defend again, and Atletico Madrid will start to attack again. Like Atletico Madrid in the first half, Wolfsburg's players stopped thinking about attacking after seeing the situation turn into an advantage for them. They are very clear that if they continue to attack, Atletico Madrid will fight back, and they can't bear it. Therefore, after the score became a draw, Atletico had to press out, while Wolfsburg quickly drew back and built up a defense in their own backcourt.
The score of both sides was 1-1 even. In this case, Wolfsburg also chose to procrastinate. However, different from Atletico, the reason why Atletico is fully defensive is that they are lack of physical strength and do not have enough physical strength, so they have to use defense to fight for a longer time. But Wolfsburg's physical strength is very sufficient, they want to rely on physical strength advantage, strive for the advantage of the last stage, at the last moment, and then hit the enemy.
Wolfsburg's own tactics are risky. After all, they are fighting at home. If Atletico Madrid score a goal before they are exhausted, Wolfsburg will be in a very dangerous position.
However, for Wolfsburg, this is also their safest tactic: like Atletico, Wolfsburg is not the kind of team that is strong enough to attack and defend at the same time, and play top threat at both ends at the same time. If they want to take care of one end, they have to put down the other. If they continue to attack, it will be difficult for them to defend in the back court, so they have to retreat.
They also know that if Atletico Madrid suddenly scores a goal at this time, they will lose this game. But if they don't, they will lose faster.
Everyone likes to watch the attack, but the attack at the same time, often will expose the team's defensive problems, and in the competition, in order to win more secure, sometimes, also have to give up the attack properly.
Atletico's first half, Wolfsburg's second half, are the truth. Both sides of the game, no matter who has the advantage, who will become conservative. However, the only difference between Wolfsburg and Atletico is that Atletico's idea is to stick to 90 minutes and win directly. For them, the later the game, the more dangerous their situation will be. For Wolfsburg, the idea is to wait until Atletico are exhausted before they attack, so the longer the game, the better for them.
Atletico's physical strength is constantly losing, and with this consumption, they will play worse and worse. Maybe after 70 minutes, their attack will not be sharp any more. After 80 minutes, they will not be able to launch a good attack, and 90 minutes later, in extra time, it is difficult to say whether they can hold on to the defense.
Wolfsburg are not afraid to delay time. After all, a set of lineup plays in three fronts, and it's the highly confrontational playing method of Atletico. Their physical strength can't be used. And if Atletico's players are really tired, then it's time for Wolfsburg to counter attack.
In contrast, the chance of Atletico Madrid, only the last away goal attempt. Now, they also need to gamble.
Compared to them, Wolfsburg played more steadily. What they have to do now is just wait for their attack time. As for the rhythm of the game, magate is very stable.
In this game, if there is any place where magate really has the upper hand, then in addition to the unexpected attack, it is that he uses his own experience to bring the rhythm of the game into his control. The oppression in the opening made Atletico give up the idea of trying to attack. Simone felt that it was not cost-effective to have a ball advantage in his hand, and then play the duel war - magate used Atletico's fluke mentality. Compared with Simone, magate doesn't have too many advantages. The honor and praise he got at his age is not as good as Simone, and the team he brought out is not as good as Simone, which shows that he is not as good as the young coach on the opposite side.
However, compared with Simone, maybe his other abilities are inferior, but in terms of experience, he still wants to win. After being a coach for a few more years, he didn't do it for nothing. Even if he couldn't beat his opponent in tactics, he still had some ways to play psychological warfare.
With this advantage and his players, Wolfsburg got the upper hand in the game.
And now, their advantages have begun to continue to ferment.
