Chapter 327： Male lion sick cat

Chapter 327 The lion becomes sick cat

Judging from this game, Atletico Madrid does appear to be very "powerful"!

"Athletic Gijon was almost beaten by Atletico Madrid without a temper!" Radio Corbe after the game did a post-match replay of the game.

"The ball possession rate is 73% versus 27%!"

"What is this concept? This is almost equivalent to that Atletico Madrid is almost in possession of the ball throughout the game, and Sporting Gijon may have some possession of the ball when opening goal kicks and free kicks. Completely Suppression of control!"

"Sixteen-to-three shots! The shot within the goal frame is seven-to-zero! This almost means that De Gea will not play in this game, and Sporting Gijon will not be able to win—they failed to get De Gea to do it. Even if it was a save! And Sporting Gijon’s goalkeeper Cuellar was very busy in this game."

The host on the TV station exclaimed.

Guardiola's home in Catalonia.

The Barcelona head coach turned off the TV and turned on the computer.

Atletico Madrid's four-to-zero victory over the opponent in the first round of the season fully illustrates the good state of Atletico Madrid.

The La Liga round was uneventful, but Real Madrid’s away game oo was a draw by Mallorca which was considered an upset; the defending champion Barcelona defeated Santander 3-o away and got a good start to the season; Deportivo’s home oo drew with Zarago Sa, Spaniard beat Getafe 3-1 at home, Osasuna drew with Amelia at home oo, Villaril lost to Real Sociedad at home o-1, Seville beat Rai 4-1 away Vante, Valencia beat Malaga 3-1, Bilbao away 1-o Rick promoted Machcules, Atletico Madrid 4-o home victory over Atletico Gijon.

For Guardiola, studying opponents can be said to be the most important part of his usual work, especially the Atletico Madrid they are about to face.

Barcelona will head to Madrid to challenge Atletico Madrid in the third round of the league. Guardiola naturally should give priority to studying his opponents in the league.

When he watched the game video of this game carefully.

Guardiola's complexion is already a bit solemn.

Then Guardiola reopened the Atletico Madrid match video to continue watching.

Guardiola is very interested in the tactics that Atletico Madrid is playing now. Although some media are claiming that Atletico Madrid is imitating Barcelona, ​​Guardiola knows that Atletico Madrid is playing football differently from Barcelona.

This game may be the reason why the opponent is too weak. Guardiola can't see much for the time being, but he can see the clues from some of the game clips.

Their passing looks aimless, that is, running-catching-running. The football keeps passing on the field. The key is on both sides. Atletico Madrid’s two wingers sometimes pull sides and sometimes attack the rib area!

Guardiola also found some footage of Gao Bo's previous game in Luton.

This Atletico Madrid made Guardiola have to notice their presence.

Their way of playing...maybe this season's La Liga will cause a lot of storms...

...

Winning is the best way to solve all problems.

To say whether there are players dissatisfied with Gao Bo's high-intensity training, it must be.

Among them is Aguero.

In fact, Aguero had a certain degree of disapproval of Gao Bo's training, but in training, Aguero saw the strength of Diego Costa and even Immobile.

He knows that if he expresses his dissatisfaction publicly, the Chinese can replace him at any time. Diego Costa, who came on the bench in the first round of the league, also scored.

Aguero is a clever person. He knows that most of the locker rooms are now Gao Bo people, so he didn't express his thoughts.

But after the first big win, Aguero's mind changed.

They kept passing the ball in the frontcourt, easily mobilized the opponent's defense, and then quickly found a gap.

The scoring methods for the four goals are almost the same.

And even though Aguero also ran most of the field, he didn't feel how tired he was when the offense was smooth.

It seems that the high-intensity physical training before the season really yielded results.

If he can continue to win like this, Aguero is also happy to see it happen.

As a player, who doesn't want to win?

And... this head coach really seems to have two brushes.

There are not a few players who think like Aguero.

Why can a coach conquer players?

The most important factor is that this coach can lead them to win, otherwise, even if this coach is popular, what use is it?

Gao Bo knew this for a long time, so after the victory, the team's training still did not relax!

Although the last game was a big win, Gao Bo also saw a lot of problems.

The first point is that the team is still unable to maintain a long-term fast-paced pass, which is very important!

Because the third round is about to face Barcelona, ​​today's way of creating opportunities through fast pace is effective when facing a team like Sporting Gijon, but it may not be effective when facing Barcelona. Up.

Because the player abilities of both sides are not on the same line.

Speaking of Barcelona, ​​people think more of their passing and possession, thinking of Messi, thinking of Xavi, thinking of Iniesta.

But in fact, Barcelona's defense is also very powerful!

Any team who wants to win everything must be top in every respect.

The same is true for Barcelona.

Guardiola's layer-by-layer pressing and the close defense of passing the ball is a point that people often overlook under Barcelona's ball-handling thinking.

For Gao Bo, the key to the offensive end lies in whether he can pass the ball quickly in the press, and then create a shot in the frontcourt!

effectiveness! !

This is what Gao Bo has been emphasizing on the training ground these days.

In fact, Gao Bo doesn't care about the ball possession rate. What he cares about is the effective ball possession rate-in the frontcourt by passing and controlling the gap, and then shooting!

From Gao Bo's point of view, if you are facing an opponent like Barcelona, ​​fighting with them for possession is actually a short attack on the opponent's strength.

Shots!

Shooting percentage!

The number of scoring within 30 meters of the front court!

Steal!

Success rate of physical confrontation!

...

Since the first round, Gao Bo has been preparing for the game against Barcelona.

........

Gao Bo does not emphasize the ball possession rate, but when the difference between the strength of the two sides is obvious, Atletico Madrid's ball possession rate will still occupy an absolute advantage.

The second round of the league is twelve days longer than the first round!

This is because the lack of dealing between La Liga and the Spanish Football Association caused the second round of the game to be delayed.

Fortunately, the game time was quickly determined.

On September 12th, Atletico Madrid challenged Athletic Bilbao away!

Due to the outstanding performance of Atletico Madrid in the first round, this round of Atletico Madrid's game has attracted a lot of attention.

The media want to see if Atletico Madrid is really reborn. After all, their opponents in the first round were too weak and did not have much reference value. Their opponents are different this round.

Athletic Bilbao ranked seventh in the league last season and is also ahead of Atletico Madrid.

And in the two matches last season, Athletic Bilbao defeated Atletico Madrid at home! So at the new San Mamés Stadium, it is not so easy for Atletico Madrid to beat its opponents.

"....... What kind of performance Atletico Madrid can show when facing opponents like Athletic Bilbao? This is worth looking forward to. Can Gao Bo's team continue the madness of the first round. Performance, or it was just a flash in the pan, maybe we can see some clues in this game."

Before the game, the Madrid regional newspaper "Marca" said in a report.

This is actually the view of most media.

Atletico Madrid performed amazing in the first round of the league, but this is the strength of Atletico Madrid, or is it because the opponents in the first round are too weak, so that Atletico Madrid players get better and better. The media generally believe that further observation is needed.

Bilbao has won eight La Liga titles in advancement, second only to Atletico Madrid in La Liga, and is the fourth best club in Spain. And this team only uses players with Basque ancestry, and it has not changed until today. It is unique in La Liga and even in European football.

Speaking of which, Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid have quite a connection.

Both teams have the word "sports" in their names, and the jerseys are all red and white striped shirts.

This is not accidental. In fact, Atletico Madrid was originally formed by a group of Basques who went to school in Madrid to express their support for their hometown. Therefore, Atletico Madrid from the name and jersey, and even the team logo, is the same as Athletic Bilbao. very alike. In fact, in the first few years of the establishment of Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid was also regarded as a branch of Bilbao’s "Athletics Club" in Madrid.

However, the younger brother of the year has now become a big brother. In the honor of the team, Atletico Madrid has already surpassed Athletic Bilbao.

The status of the two "sports clubs" in Spain was reversed very early.

As the representative team of the Basque Country, Athletic Bilbao is known as the Basque Lions in a rough style and tough style.

However, the Lions were tricked to find North when facing Atletico Madrid.

Athletic Bilbao can indeed resist one or two at the beginning of the game, but the away game Atletico Madrid quickly took control of the situation!

In the thirty-eighth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid's continuous passing made Athletic Bilbao take care of one another. In the end, Atletico Madrid broke the defense line on the right!

After Griezman dribbled the ball to the bottom line and passed it to the back point!

Reyes passed the ball back to the center at the back point!

Modric, who inserted in the middle, scored near the penalty spot! ! !

Gao Bo applauded Modric immediately after he scored.

In fact, after the introduction of Modric, Gao Bo was still a little worried.

Despite his previous life, the future Modric performed very well in Real Madrid and is one of the main contributors to Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League titles.

But in fact, Modric's first season when he came to Real Madrid was unacceptable, and even after the end of the season he was called one of the worst signings in Real Madrid's history.

However, Gao Bo believes that there are many reasons for Modric's poor performance in the first season after going to Real Madrid, the most important of which is probably the style of the Real Madrid dressing room at the time.

In Mourinho's later period, Real Madrid's locker room was chaotic, and the head coach had almost lost control of the situation in the locker room. Mourinho and Real Madrid's major players, as well as the bigwigs of various factions, were all strangers.

Under this circumstance, Modric came to Real Madrid, a place of right and wrong. He looked soft and weak, and there was no big-name temperament. Modric, who was not a big name in the Real Madrid lineup at the time, wanted to play well in this environment. , It's harder than climbing to the sky.

But now Atletico Madrid is different.

In Atletico Madrid, Modric can be regarded as one of the biggest players, and the dressing room environment is simple, most of them are newcomers, Gao Bo has very strong control over the dressing room, and the authority of the head coach is fully implemented in the dressing room.

Modric's position on the right side of the midfield is also his area of ​​expertise, and his tactical play that pays attention to passing the ball also makes him feel good.

All this allowed Modric to quickly adapt to the way he played in Atletico Madrid, and his abilities gradually emerged.

This goal seems to be a reward for Modric.

After the goal, Modric laughed and spread his arms to the sidelines.

Gao Bo also spread his arms.

"I feel great now! Boss!!!"

Modric shouted in Gao Bo's ear. For Modric, the way he plays now is what he likes. When he was at Tottenham before, he always felt that he did not fully play. The English football environment is a natural constraint for a technical player like him. There is too much emphasis over there, fast up and down. , Even if Tottenham are considered to be a relatively technically-rich team in England, their offense often sees the ball flying over their heads.

And now this set of tactics designed by Gao Bo makes Modric feel like a fish in water, passing the ball constantly, and then he can find a gap and send the ball into the opponent's goal! This made Modric feel more fun than ever.

"This is your ability! Luca!!!"

Gao Bo never forgets to inspire his players.

After losing the ball, Bilbao was quickly on the verge of collapse. In the final stage of the first half, they had several dangerous situations in front of the goal. Fortunately, the strikers of Atletico Madrid could not grasp it.

The ending whistle of the first half gave Athletic Bilbao players and fans a sigh of relief.

There was a clear exhalation sound from the stands of the new San Mamés Stadium-one can imagine how much pressure on Athletic Bilbao fans in the final stage of the first half.

Now Athletic Bilbao fans can only hope that they can use the fifteen minutes to take a good break at halftime, so that they can get the situation back in the second half.

Just one goal behind!

The Bilbao fans quickly recovered their spirits.

This is their home court, no matter what opponent it is, they will eat a piece of meat when they come to this home court.

Gao Bo did not make any adjustments during the intermission. He only praised the team's performance in the first half and reminded the players to score the second goal as soon as possible to seal the victory.

At the beginning of the second half, the Bilbao Lions roared, and they took advantage of the timing of the kick-off in the second half to press the offense.

And now people can see the defense of Atletico Madrid.

From the frontcourt, Athletic Bilbao's ball-handling players have always been oppressed by Atletico Madrid players.

Bilbao tried to directly attack Atletico Madrid's penalty area with a long pass.

Godin showed his strength at this time!

Godin's header is very good, and his partner Boateng's frontal defensive ability is also good!

Athletic Bilbao attacked for a while at the opening stage, but was suppressed by Atletico Madrid.

As a result, in the forty-ninth minute of the game, Kanter succeeded in stealing the ball near the center circle, and then Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack on the spot!

It was also a few consecutive passes, and the football was shown to the frontcourt!

Griezman came back from the front court to catch the ball, then Modric pressed to the side, and the two completed a shift at this moment.

Griezmann made a move to continue to press the ball smoothly to Modric in the frontcourt, allowing the Bilbao defensive players to make a move to block the line in advance.

However, the pass line got stuck, and Griezmann had room for the ball.

Griezmann immediately dribbled the ball across everything, and then shot directly!

The football draws an arc to the goal!

Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Isoles reacted very quickly. He rose from the ground, flew to block the ball with his hand, and the football bounced back into the penalty area.

But then Aguero's supplementary shot from the penalty area was no longer able to stop it!

Two to zero!

Atletico Madrid established a two-goal lead at the beginning of the second half.

The two-goal lead relaxed Atletico Madrid a bit.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Llorente helped Bilbao regain a goal with a corner kick.

But soon Atlético Madrid is back!

Reyes returned to catch the ball and took the ball forward, and after attracting the defense, he divided the ball to the left!

Alex Sandro assists in!

He returned the ball to Reyes near the baseline!

Reyes pushed the ball to the center, Raul Garcia kept the ball into the penalty area after receiving the ball!

At this time, Reyes was already in place and shot! !

The football flies into the net again!

Three to one! !

This goal silenced the new San Mames Stadium.

This Atletico Madrid attack makes Athletic Bilbao seem to be completely unable to let go!

Atletico Madrid's frontcourt attackers constantly change positions. When opportunities such as 1vs1 and 2vs1 are formed, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt attackers can make a shot through a personal breakthrough or a simple two-to-one match.

This attacking method allows Atletico Madrid's attack to be a threat almost every time!

At the 73rd minute of the game, Atletico Madrid scored the fourth goal!

This time center defender Godin.

Griezmann made a free kick from the wing.

Atletico Madrid's two central defenders also came up to participate in the set kick attack.

The set-piece attack is also a focus of Atletico Madrid's attack! Gao Bo attaches great importance to the offensive training of set kicks.

If Gao Bo is not satisfied with the team, it is that he thinks his team still lacks a high center.

This is not to say that the team is about to play high-altitude ball tactics, but at certain special moments, the presence of a high center forward can provide more tactical changes.

But the fact that the team does not have a high center does not mean that no one will head the ball!

Godin's header ability is outstanding!

This is not only reflected in defense, but also in offense.

His position selection and jumping are world-class!

So in terms of set-piece offense, Godin is an important attack point for the team!

Modric came to take the set kick on the right, and his right-footed arc passed the ball into the penalty area!

Aguero ran forward and attracted some defensive forces!

Griezmann and Reyes rushed into the middle of the penalty area, Boateng also tapped back.

And Godin, who was hidden behind Boateng, went from the back point to the penalty spot.

At this time Modric's pass just bypassed the previous point, Godin jumped high near the penalty spot, the waist muscles driving the head, the whole person is like a tightened rubber band!

A powerful header smashed the ball to the goal!

After the football bounced at the goal, it flew into the goal.

Goalkeeper Isoles didn't have time to raise his hands until the ball flew into the goal, and reacted symbolically.

But the hands he raised seemed more like surrender.

Of course, the Bilbao Lions cannot surrender.

In the final stage of the game, the red-eyed Athletic Bilbao's movements also began to increase. In order to avoid injury to his main player, Gao Bo began to make substitution adjustments.

Mario Suarez replaced Modric and then Diego Costa came on the bench again, and he replaced Aguero.

When the game lasted more than 80 minutes, Gao Bo continued to make substitutions.

Cork came on, this time Cork came to the right, he replaced Griezman.

Gao Bo tried his best to allow young players on the bench to get the opportunity to play.

Although Athletic Bilbao still had a wave of fierce attacks at the last moments, but in the end Atletico Madrid defeated Bilbao four to one away and won two consecutive league victories.

The Basque Lions were not tempered at all by their former little brother. Even Llorente's goal was scored by a set ball. They couldn't even get a chance in a sports battle!

Bilbao’s promoted coach Caparros also shook his head at the press conference and sighed: "We were technically knocked down by Atletico Madrid in this game. This is my responsibility. We can't face Madrid at all when we are defending The rhythm of the competition, their passing control and the ability of attackers in the frontcourt allowed them to win this game."

"How strong is Atletico Madrid? Maybe we can tell from these two games that one or two. Four to zero, four to one! Two games, eight goals, one conceded! Such statistics allow them to temporarily register I have topped the standings. Although the league has only started two rounds, the standings cannot explain anything, but it at least shows that this season's Atletico Madrid and the previous mixed seasons have undergone tremendous changes!! !"

After the game resumption, the host of Kebe TV said.

And Atletico Madrid did not stay in the Basque Country for too long. They immediately returned to Madrid to prepare for the third round of the league-Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona!
