Chapter 1083： Tragic hero

"Okay, good job, Messi!"

When Messi scored the equalizer goal, Prince William jumped from his seat and shouted excitedly.

I've been holding this breath long enough, this time I can finally vent!

Not only him, but in the chairman's stand, many guests and fans who support Southampton also shouted with excitement, and some even danced and danced to celebrate Southampton's equalization.

It's only thirty-one minutes now. This is the Saints' third shot in this game, but it has formed a goal. The efficiency is high and it is not inferior to Atletico Madrid, which started with a defensive counterattack.

Yang Huan also sighed, shook his head and laughed bitterly, "Simeone guesses it will be sad again!"

From the standpoint of Master Huan, he can accept whoever wins in Southampton or Atletico Madrid.

But judging from the situation on the scene, Atletico Madrid is indeed gradually falling behind.

Everyone didn't know that, silently and unknowingly, the balance of the situation on the stadium changed quietly. After Southampton equalized the score, everyone suddenly realized that Atletico Madrid was not easy to play.

If Simeone's team can defend the first half, there is still great hope in the second half.

But now, Atletico Madrid can't hold it for only 30 minutes. This is not only a painful blow to the team's tactics, but also a considerable blow to the players.

In this case, what can Simeone do?

Continue to attack?

Don't be funny, the team has spent 30 minutes. It is already difficult to suppress the Saints. At this time, if you step up the attack, isn't it the light in the toilet and the death?

But if Simeone chooses to retreat, he basically gave up this game.

More importantly, is he confident that he can hold it?

In another hour, if the situation is left in the hands of the Saints, can his team be able to hold it?

"Cough!" Bielsa sighed heavily.

Strictly speaking, Simeone can be regarded as having some friendship with him.

"As I said earlier, the problem with Atletico Madrid is that it is a bit out of touch with the back line when the midfield is pressed."

Pochettino understood it at this time, and he admired Bielsa even more in his heart.

The master is the master in the end, hit the nail on the head, and say it all.

The main problem with the loss just now was Ilya Ramendi's midfielder.

But is it not his fault?

not necessarily!

Because the front teammates such as Krichowiak are all pressed up, Ilya Ramendi's position must also be moved forward, otherwise the distance will be enlarged and an obvious gap will be formed, which will be used by Southampton.

The situation just now was that after Ilya Ramendi pressed it up, but couldn't hold it in front, Di Maria suddenly came up from behind, using her speed to make a time difference.

The defensive midfielder failed to return to the penalty area in time, Montoya was taken away from the defense by Hazard who had withdrawn, and no player could keep up with Di Maria in time, and it would only be the center defender.

But when Otamendi moved, Suarez followed suit.

The Uruguayan was too shrewd, too cunning, and got stuck in Jiménez when running.

Jimenez lacked experience in the end. Although he blocked Suarez's shooting angle, he couldn't prevent Suarez's pass.

In this case, Di Maria and Suarez attacked with the ball, directly facing the hastily challenged Otamendi and Jiménez, two-on-two, which is really advantageous for the offensive side.

If Ilya Ramendi and Montoya were either one of them and could retreat into the penalty area in time, three-on-two, Atletico Madrid's hopes of holding would be greatly increased, and the Saints would not be so easy to break the goal.

It should be said that Atletico Madrid's entire defensive formation is tight. Looking at today's football, there are only a few that can be broken.

In this game, Simeone also focused on the arrangement and did his best. From a tactical point of view, he hardly made the slightest mistake.

But the problem is that if you don't take the initiative to make mistakes, the saints still have the ability to force you to make mistakes.

Even the fleeting loopholes exposed by Atletico Madrid just now can be caught and quickly converted into goals, probably only Southampton.

Not even Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich can do it.

Thinking of this, Pochettino couldn't help but glanced at his teacher Bielsa with admiration.

Earlier, before the Saints had seized the opportunity, Bielsa had already seen Atletico Madrid's problems.

On this point, I don't know how much better than him.

This also made Pochettino quite admired, but also clearly understood that there is more to learn.

Just as Pochettino admired and admired, Bielsa who was sitting aside spoke again.

"Diego should stabilize the situation first. This conceded goal has a great impact on the morale of the players, and the mentality will definitely be loosened, especially the young players in the team, we must first stabilize."

Pochettino understands what Bielsa means. At this time, the team is unstable. If the Saints score another goal, Atletico Madrid is really dangerous.

One to one, there is still a chance for the Sheet Army.

Although the longer the time delay, the better for the saints, but at least there is still a chance.

If you concede the ball again, you really don't even have a chance.

"However, with Diego's character, he probably won't retreat willingly!" Yang Huan said with a bitter smile.

Simeone is a very strong tough guy. When he lost to Southampton in the Champions League final, he made a promise that he must return to the Champions League final and lead Atletico Madrid to win the championship.

In the past two or three years, he has been working hard towards this goal.

Now, the opportunity is here, and the Champions League trophy is within reach. Will he give up?

It was at this moment that Yang Huan deeply realized that sometimes in order to get it, he had to give up first!

Give up the opportunity to compete for the Champions League, choose to retreat, stabilize the situation, give play to their defensive strengths, and wait for Southampton to make mistakes, and Atletico Madrid will have hope instead.

But if you don’t retreat and head-on, then I’m afraid...

Facts have proved that Yang Huan still knows Simeone very well.

The Argentine has carefully prepared for this final for two or three years, so why are they willing to retreat?

Or, the players on the court are already playing with enthusiasm and are not under Simeone's control at all.

Anyway, after losing the ball, Atletico Madrid launched a frantic counterattack and pressed towards Southampton.

This wave of wild attacks did gain a lot. Atletico Madrid got two very threatening shots, but failed to get a chance to score. On the contrary, in the 38th minute, physical fitness declined and the back line appeared. Loopholes.

Tony Cross made a long pass and accurately found Suarez, who was successful against offside.

After the Uruguayan got the ball, he reached the penalty area and formed a single shot, easily shooting.

The ball passed Courtois's head and slowly fell to the goal behind him in the desperate eyes of the Belgian goalkeeper.

On the sidelines, Simeone squeezed his head hard, as if he was about to use all his strength to twist his head off his shoulders.

But even this kind of self-harm was not successful!

Two to one, Southampton reversed!

At this moment, the cheers of the Stadium of Glory made Simeone and Atletico Madrid feel like they wanted to go crazy.

No one likes losing.

Losing in the finals is something everyone hates!

They lost once and lost a UEFA Champions League final, so they learned from it, carefully prepared for two years, made a comeback, and wanted to make a difference, but they did not expect that waiting for them, still lose!

Simeone even had an urge to vomit blood. He wanted to ask God why this happened?

He and his team have done well enough, and even reached the limit as much as possible, why still lose?

Could it be said that Atletico Madrid really can only survive in the shadow of Southampton in this lifetime?

Simeone wanted to shout loudly, "I'm going to special, labor and management don't believe in this evil!"

But his reason forces him to calm down, because he knows that his team and his players are still waiting for him.

At this time, the morale of the team fell into a trough. If Simeone, as the head coach, does not quickly adjust and help the team, then Atletico Madrid is more than just a loss.

Maybe even lose the future!

One to two, this is called a loss, it is regrettable and worthy of sympathy.

But if you lose one to three, one to four, or even one to five or one to six, it is called a complete defeat, or a miserable defeat.

The harder you lose, the harder it is for Atletico Madrid to turn over.

Simone is not that kind of mother-in-law, he can afford to lose.

If this game is lost, labor and management will win it back sooner or later!

Therefore, after a brief emotional out of control, Simeone quickly walked to the sidelines and immediately shouted at the players and adjusted the team's tactics.

There is no other choice, Atletico Madrid can only choose to retreat!

This retreat basically announced that Atletico Madrid had given up the dominance of the game.

Unless Southampton makes a mistake, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to win.

Therefore, after seeing the withdrawal of Atletico Madrid, Ancelotti's original serious expression suddenly burst into laughter like a daisy, and he finally felt a sense of winning.

Serie A, La Liga, Premier League... Another Champions League champion has started!

In the stands, Pochettino saw Simeone adjust his tactics, and he was very embarrassed.

"The strong man broke his wrist, Simeone really is Simeone!"

In this situation, how many people can be willing to accept failure like Simeone?

I'm afraid it's very rare, but more should be like just now, with a hot head and going all out.

Able to bend and stretch Simeone is just as tough as his Atletico Madrid.

Bielsa also nodded, "This Atletico Madrid still has potential to be tapped. Montoya, Jimenez, Jose Gaya, Ilya Ramendi and others are still young and have insufficient experience and tactics. At the level, there is still room for continuous improvement. In the long run, losing this game may not be a bad thing for Atletico Madrid."

After Yang Huan listened, he laughed, "You are the consultant of our group, so I will analyze it with Simeone."

Bielsa smiled slightly and agreed.

Although it's just a game, in this kind of strong dialogue, the team's problems are often the most exposed.

Therefore, Bielsa also grasped some of the crux of Atletico Madrid, and wanted to have a good talk with Simeone.

Of course, some of these problems may have been realized by Simeone a long time ago, and he may even have kept them on purpose, but there may be some that he didn't notice.

In any case, it is necessary to talk carefully.

Yang Huan sat in the stands, looking at Simeone in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, he suddenly felt a feeling.

Is it because the Argentines are not handsome enough and the Atletico Madrid style is not gorgeous enough, so they are destined to be tragic heroes instead of leading actor?

Although he is the boss, he is not God, so he doesn't know.

But he is willing to bet, as much as he wants. He firmly believes that Simeone and his Atletico Madrid will succeed.

Because, from this Argentine, this team, he can't see any reason for unsuccess!
