Chapter 252 Individual Performance

How can we "improve" one's luck in the match against Marseille now? The answer is definitely not to let Falcao fight with the opposition defender in front.

That makes absolutely no sense.

It doesn't make much sense to pass high balls from the wing and midfield to the middle. The French team is not afraid of high-altitude balls. Their two strong defenders have an advantage in defending high-altitude balls. In contrast, Falcao is taller. Weak a lot.

Peripheral players cannot enter the penalty area. In the intensive defense of the penalty area, the role of technique and running becomes very small. If you want to score the ball in that way, it is not "increasing luck", but "reducing luck".

An important purpose of football tactics is to develop strengths and circumvent weaknesses, give full play to one's own strengths, and avoid facing opponents with weaknesses.

What are Atletico Madrid's strengths?

technology!

speed!

flexible!

The player's personal ability is also a very important item. If you want to "increase luck", you must give more space to your advantage.

So what Wansheng has to do is to give more freedom to the players on the field, especially the two full-backs and midfielders.

Marseille didn't want to attack at all. They just kept their heads on defense and fought counterattacks relying on luck. The team didn't have much pressure on defense. If they continued to run, pass and receive the ball according to the tactics, it would be a waste of physical energy. Taking the initiative to attack, the team has a lot of room to play in the range, so players need to play individually.

In ordinary games, Wansheng likes to control the rhythm and process in his own hands. He doesn’t like letting players play at will, but in fact, he is very clear that players’ personal abilities are also part of tactics, otherwise why would each club spend a lot of money to introduce them? What about the star?

For any team, star performance is important.

So does Atletico Madrid.

The purpose of formulating tactics is to let players play on the field. Each player shows his own unique side based on tactics. All players are added together to form various teams and games.

This is football.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Wansheng called the nearest Thiago Silva and asked him to inform others how to play.

"More breakthroughs, more dribbling! Don't be afraid of being cut off, anyway, they don't plan to attack, you just need to pay attention to defense, we don't need to run back and forth, press forward to play, try to kick as boldly as possible, and put yourself Some show!"

J-Rodriguez and Isco and others, knowing Wansheng's adjustment, their eyes lit up.

They didn't dare to think about such a request. They didn't expect that they would be able to play like this in the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

Feel free to play!

Free dribble, breakthrough!

The coach simply let them perform at will to attract the attention of the audience! When did the Champions League quarter-finals become an exhibition match? But they didn't complain, they all became very spirited.

Everyone loves to beat their opponents in their own way!

In the next game, everyone gradually discovered that Atletico Madrid's tactics were different.

Players in the Madrid Arena have been running and passing the ball all the time, and the wonderful passing and coordination can be seen constantly. The cooperation from left to right, back to front, and two-way cross is really attractive. eyeball.

Now Atletico Madrid has reduced the number of passes and receptions, and many players have increased their personal dribbling.

Among the 11 players in the entire team, the most obvious ones were J-Rodriguez and Isco. After the two got the ball, they were rarely seen to pass back, and they all dribbled the ball forward by themselves.

Both were steals, but they were also brilliant.

The other Atlético Madrid players didn't seem to care that they were being tackled either, and just supported the movement while preventing Marseille from launching a quick counter-attack.

Soon the players on the field of Marseille saw Atletico Madrid's adjustment, and they felt that the opponent was stupid: doesn't this play reduce our defensive pressure?

Football is a team sport!

It is much easier to defend a person than to defend a team, what's more, Ozil, the most really good at breaking through in the Atletico Madrid team, is still lying in the hospital.

J-Rodriguez and Isco?

These two guys are not too famous!

The reporters in the media booth and the commentators of various TV stations also said that Atletico Madrid's play style is somewhat incomprehensible.

The technical advantage of Atlético de Madrid lies in the overall cooperation, the flexibility of tactical play, and the close coordination of successive cooperation. They rarely rely on the individual ability of the players to score goals.

In La Liga, the teams that rely heavily on players' ability to score goals are Real Madrid, followed by Barcelona.

Only these two teams have "superstars", and heroic goals are more prevalent.

"How did Atletico make adjustments? Playing like this is not what they are good at..."

"Rodriguez and Isco are both dribbling the ball continuously. Just now, even Felipe in the backcourt had an extraordinary performance, which is very dangerous in official games, especially in the Champions League."

"Atletico Madrid obviously made adjustments, and the current style of play is not what they are good at..."

The media are talking about it.

They felt that Wansheng made a foolish move, otherwise how could they let the team play like this?

The camera points to the Atlético de Madrid bench.

I saw Wan Sheng standing on the sidelines, just watching the game seriously, with no expression on his face, as if he was not too worried about the game, and still had some small expectations?

In fact, the analysis of the media reporters cannot be wrong.

Compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid players are not so outstanding in terms of personal ability, especially Ozil, who is best at individual performance, can't play at all, and only J-Road can 'show' his skills on the field. Driggs, plus a young Isco, will find a third center, Falcao, but Falcao's position determines that it is difficult for him to have much room to play.

However, don't forget one point - now Atletico Madrid's opponent is Marseille!

Marseille, France?

That's not Real Madrid or Barcelona. The gap between their player ability and Atletico Madrid is much bigger than the gap between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid and Barcelona!

So when it comes to the field, the personal ability of Atletico Madrid players is also an advantage.

Wansheng also believes in his players.

For example, J-Rodriguez, his personal ability is quite outstanding, even if it is not comparable to C-Ronaldo, Messi, it is enough to compare with Iniesta, Di Maria and others, plus the coaching skills are good for players in official competitions The direct bonus of play, J-Rodriguez's use of personal skills to perform, can definitely be expected.

Isco is worse, but not too much. He is an excellent attacking midfielder.

As long as the two are given more chances, they are likely to perform well.

This is 'making luck'!

Now that it is very difficult for Atletico Madrid to break through the dense defense of the penalty area created by Marseille, it is better to give players the opportunity to perform individually and to constantly create 'luck' to find opportunities.

As long as the number of times is enough, quantitative changes may become qualitative changes!

Of course, nothing is absolute, there is no 100%, especially in football games. Wansheng's adjustment is not to ensure that the team can score goals, but to pursue 'more hope of scoring goals'.

Even if J-Rodriguez and Isco, their continuous efforts only succeeded once, the tactical adjustment is equal to success!

Marseille was unaware of the danger.

The Marseille players on the field felt that the defense was much easier. When the opponents broke through, they just had to double-team. This was better than the previous tension, and the easy defense also gave them a sigh of relief.

Soon the Marseille players were nervous again!

This is the 36th minute of the game, Isco dribbled the ball into the penalty area, then raised his foot and shot, the football slightly missed the post.

Although no goal was scored, it was enough to make Marseille fans nervous!

"Isco! The young Spanish player just performed bravely. He used his speed to pass two defenders in Marseille, and then almost broke the gate of Marseille with a powerful shot!"

At the moment the football flew towards the goal, the Atlético de Madrid fans began to cheer.

Too bad the ball didn't go in!

Isco covered his face with his hands, smiled at his teammates, and regretted not scoring.

The Marseille players next to him kept looking at him. They felt that this young Spanish boy couldn't be underestimated. Fortunately, the team had good luck, and luck was still on Marseille's side.

————

From Isco to Atlético de Madrid fans, they all regret not scoring goals. The same is true for Wansheng standing off the field. At the moment when Isco shot, he clenched his fists, but in the end he did not score. He also sighed.

Wansheng had no other performance.

The game is still very long, and he believes that there are still many opportunities, especially J-Rodriguez and Isco are getting better and better. While they are playing individually, they will also find opportunities to cooperate with their teammates. This is actually the best way. Fatal, if it continues, he believes that the team will be able to score goals.

As Wansheng expected, a second chance soon came.

This time it was J-Rodriguez.

J-Rodriguez dribbled the ball from the middle. After being blocked by two opponents, he changed direction and moved to the right. Then, from the corner of the penalty area, he made a long-range shot, which deceived the defense in front. The Marseille player, he immediately dribbled the ball horizontally along the penalty area line, and then suddenly buckled into the penalty area after a few steps.

The Marseille defender, who was the closest to defending, couldn't react at all. He watched J-Rodriguez miss him and bring the ball into the penalty area.

It's just an ordinary overachiever.

In the penalty area, Marseille's defense is more intensive, and it is not easy to find space for shooting.

J-Rodriguez showed excellent technical ability!

He pushed the ball into the penalty area with the outer instep of his left foot, adjusted only one step, followed with his right foot and gently flicked the ball with the outer instep, and then the whole person jumped up.

At the same time that J-Rodriguez jumped up, one foot was already on the ground and shoveled over.

J-Rodriguez jumped up in a timely manner, dodged the opponent's cross tackle, and just fell behind the football. After that, he didn't make any adjustments, but pushed the ball forward and squeezed the opponent's defender. Defend, rush forward.

"Look at this ball! Look at this ball! Rodriguez! Rodriguez! He faces the entire Marseille line alone!"

"He's done an amazing performance! One move in one go, there's no way to play the Marseille line!"

The match commentator shouted excitedly, and the Atlético de Madrid fans in the stands also gave out huge cheers to cheer for J-Rodriguez.

Wan Sheng was also excited.

Not to mention that as the coach of J-Rodriguez, even an ordinary fan, seeing the outbreak of such a star, his hormones will keep up and rise a lot. He expects J-Rodriguez to perform perfectly.

————

When J-Rodriguez pushed the Marseille defenders forward, his balance was still affected and a little unstable. When he took a few steps with the ball, his pace became very messy.

The Marseille goalkeeper strikes quickly and wants to block the ball's path, preferably if he can save the ball.

But at this moment, J-Rodriguez's heel suddenly stepped forward, set the ball in place, his body moved forward with inertia, his left foot was a little behind the ball, and the football was inclined from the right ankle. As he rushed out, he also rushed behind the Marseille defender.

At that moment, the Marseille defenders didn't even know where the ball went!

J-Rodriguez followed, or twisted fiercely. I don't know how many people broke into a cold sweat because of his actions, lest his waist and spine would be twisted, but J-Rodriguez succeeded. He successfully got rid of the defending player in a backward change, then faced the goal diagonally and volleyed directly with his right foot.

The Marseille goalkeeper froze in place!

He couldn't turn his body at all and just stared blankly at the football flying into the goal from his hand!

————

"Ball...goal——!!"

"The ball is in!"

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!”

"Rodriguez!!"

"The Colombian showed us the perfect technique at his feet, he almost went over the entire Marseille defence and scored in front of us!"

At the moment when the football flew to the goal, the Atlético de Madrid fans broke out completely, and the neutral fans also broke out. Even the Marseille fans at the scene couldn't help applauding this wonderful goal!

"1-0! Atletico lead Marseille away!"

"Rodriguez used his personal performance to help Atletico break the deadlock and take the lead!"

"Judging from the previous games, Marseille's tactics were correct, but luck did not seem to be on their side. Rodriguez completed a wonderful individual performance and helped Atletico Madrid score."

"His performance was simply outstanding, and many fans wearing Marseille jerseys couldn't help applauding, which represented their recognition of the wonderful goal..."

"..."

In the narrator's exciting comment, Wan Sheng clenched his fists tightly, raised his arms high, and the corners of his mouth also split.

J-Rodriguez helped the team score goals!

His adjustment was successful!

One goal lead!

After the situation was opened, the next game became much easier. (To be continued ~^~)
