Chapter 273 Three-Way Offensive

Atlético de Madrid coaching bench.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, frowning slightly.

In terms of physical confrontation ability, Atletico Madrid is not afraid of Chelsea. Many players will do confrontation ability training. With the addition of various attributes of the coach's skills, each player's confrontation ability is not bad, and it is impossible to fight against Chelsea head-on. .

The opponent's foul is different.

That would directly interrupt the game and interrupt the smooth cooperation of the team.

The opponent's frequent fouls make it difficult to organize the team's offense. Wansheng allows the players to pass the ball continuously and quickly to prevent the opponent from looking for opportunities to steal the ball, but the opponent's defense is not only pressing, but also fouling.

A foul will cause the referee to interrupt the game, and then they can calmly organize the defense.

The referee of this game is Pronka. He is known as the Portuguese Golden Whistle, but the law enforcement scale is very lenient. Some referees see frequent fouls and will also draw cards frequently. When Proenka draws cards Not much, most of him are verbal warnings, and at most let players free throws.

Under Proenka's enforcement, the game was quite beneficial to Chelsea. With a strict referee, Chelsea will be sent off one or two times in the past 30 minutes.

Faced with this situation, all Wansheng can do is to put pressure on the referee.

After seeing the opponent's midfielder Mikel commit a foul, Wan Sheng yelled at the referee, "Bastard! This is still not handed out!? When do you have to draw your cards, do you have to fight!"

The referee Proenka glanced at the sidelines and ignored it. The fourth official came over and reminded, "Pay attention to your words, Mr. Wan Sheng."

Wan Sheng complained, "Mr. referee's law enforcement standards are too high? Our players have been violated and fouled, and the other party is fouling on purpose!"

The fourth official frowned.

At this point in the game, anyone can see the problem, Chelsea are using foul tactics, and their style of play is the root cause of the drowsy game.

So the fourth official explained to the referee Proenka.

Proenka did not respond, but just 4 minutes later, when Mikel fouled again, Proenka directly took out a yellow card.

This is the first yellow card of the game.

Chelsea were dissatisfied, because Mikel didn't make a big foul, and the head coach Di Matteo hurried to find the fourth official, but in the end the fourth official could only shake his head helplessly.

At this point in the game, the referee is the most difficult one.

Every penalty must be measured carefully, otherwise, if the Champions League is staged in real hand-to-hand combat, it will become the laughing stock of world football.

————

Wansheng exerted pressure on the referee to a certain extent, but the problem was not fundamentally resolved. If the process continues, the team will soon be in trouble again, because it is impossible to call the referee every time there is a problem.

Chelsea's foul tactics, strictly speaking, are actually a tactic, it just makes the game ugly, and their players don't make much movement.

It is also impossible for the referee to give cards every time, and he still judges according to his own habits.

You can't rely on others to compete, you can only find your own way.

Most of Chelsea's fouls are in the midfield, near their penalty area, and they rarely foul.

Di Matteo was well prepared for the game.

Chelsea's way of playing is to exploit the loopholes in the rules of the football game. If it is a neutral point of view, Wansheng will also give a thumbs up.

This is how to maximize the gap between the technical strengths of the two teams.

Chelsea's play style is also very targeted to Atletico Madrid. Many teams used foul tactics before, but the effect was not obvious. Chelsea's coaching staff has analyzed Atletico Madrid very thoroughly, and the play style used is too targeted.

But now is not the time to praise opponents.

It's impossible to continue playing at a normal pace, and to find an edge, you have to let go of some habits.

Wan Sheng thought that, quickly pass the ball to the front.

In Atlético de Madrid's 'BT-F' system tactics, speed and control of rhythm are the keys, but in many cases, the ball will not be passed to the frontcourt quickly, and it still has to go through a certain 'control' process, especially if the midfielder's foot is down. more.

This is because the ball is easy to lose if the football is passed too fast.

The situation is different now. Losing the ball is no longer the focus of the team's consideration. The first thing is to find the rhythm that belongs to the team, and make the offense really kick in. As long as the ball is quickly passed to the front, Chelsea will be defensive. , especially in dangerous positions, they dare not commit a foul, otherwise Atletico Madrid will threaten their goal with a free kick.

On Atlético de Madrid, there are still many players with excellent free kicks, such as Maurice, Ozil, and Falcao. Their level of free kicks is quite good, and they can directly threaten them from a closer position. Chelsea goal.

It would be great if Chelsea chose to foul near their own box.

Taking advantage of a throw-in opportunity, Wan Sheng called Morris to his side, instructed him in detail, and asked him to tell other teammates about his adjustments.

Wansheng's adjustment is to let players increase forward passing, regardless of whether there is a chance, pass the ball to the front and then look for opportunities.

If the ball is stolen, then quickly return to defense.

This requires the players on the field to be flexible, especially the midfielders. They need to have a big picture and run flexibly. If there is a chance, they will intervene, and if the situation is wrong, they must immediately retreat.

Wan Sheng is still relatively confident about the midfield.

In the team's 433 formation, the two wing forwards Ozil and Kevin De Bruyne are fast, and the three midfielders-Morris, J-Rodriguez and Raul Garcia , are the kind of players who are fully capable of being the core of a giant team. Their overall situation and judgment of the game are quite good.

Where Atletico Madrid is better than Chelsea is in this midfield line.

Chelsea's defense is still relatively targeted. They never let up on Morris' defense, but in general, Morris is behind the formation, and J-Rodriguez is at the front. He is the side. The midfielder is also a midfielder, with a very large range of movement and more attacks.

With J-Rodriguez and Raul Garcia, it is impossible for Chelsea to target all players.

That's not targeting, it's normal defense.

Now Wansheng hopes that his adjustment can play a role. As long as the three players in the midfield play well, and the team temporarily changes the offensive targeting, it can also play a good effect.

————

When Wansheng made adjustments, many people found that Atletico Madrid's attack speed continued to accelerate.

It's not the acceleration of details, such as passing, running, etc., which are similar to just now, but the number of prequels has been increased.

It's as if the offense just got easier.

After the attack became simpler, Atletico Madrid's cooperation was also much smoother, but Chelsea's defensive pertinence was still obvious.

In the 37th minute, Morris dribbled the ball forward and was going to have a two-to-one with Raul Garcia, but Kalou pulled Morris's jersey.

Morris's jersey was pulled, and his body stopped for a while, and he definitely couldn't get the ball.

The referee blows the whistle to signal a foul.

Kalou pays great attention to the scale. He just pulled the jersey and immediately released it. The action was not big, and the foul was not enough to catch the card.

Referee Proenka just awarded the ball to Atlético de Madrid.

Wan Sheng did not look for the referee again, but instead looked at the Chelsea coaching bench. Di Matteo was sitting there, as if feeling the gaze watching him, he also turned his head and glanced.

The two smiled at each other.

Di Matteo was a little puzzled: what is that Chinese laughing at?

Compared with Wansheng, Di Matteo is much more excited to be able to lead the team to the Champions League final.

This is his first time coaching a top league team!

Just before coaching Chelsea, Di Matteo was only the assistant coach of Boas. He never imagined that he would one day become the head coach of a top team. After taking over the team, Di Matteo knew that this was a rare opportunity. , He works very hard and hopes to try his best to lead the team to achieve good results.

To lead the team to the Champions League final is really exciting.

It is not easy for Chelsea to enter the Champions League final. At least from the perspective of their opponents in the knockout stage, they are much more difficult than Atletico Madrid. Barcelona in the semi-final is by no means a 'good opponent'. At that time, even the English media were not optimistic that Chelsea could beat Barcelona. Rona, the focus is still on him as the head coach.

The British media lacks trust in Di Matteo at all!

Just like when Wan Sheng took over Derby County, the British media only questioned Di Matteo. They did not believe in Di Matteo's ability, but Di Matteo took Chelsea to the Champions League final.

This is equivalent to a big slap in the face of the British media!

Di Matteo also began to look forward to the fight with Wansheng. Wansheng is the most successful manager in the world since the 21st century, and even speaking, there is no one, even the former Chelsea coach, who won two Champions League titles Mourini It's hard to compare Otto.

If you lead the team to defeat Atlético de Madrid, it is equivalent to defeating Wansheng by yourself, so there will be no media questioning you at that time, right?

They may praise themselves!

Whenever he thinks of this, Di Matteo is very excited, and the current game has also given him a lot of confidence. Although most of the media are optimistic about Atletico Madrid, the tactics he and the coaching staff developed together have been successful.

The scene of the game was not good, but Chelsea successfully defended. If you continue, Chelsea may have the advantage!

Di Matteo's confidence is doubled!

————

If Wan Sheng sees it, Di Matteo is really naive.

Chelsea's targeted defense is really good, but that doesn't mean they are successful.

Atletico Madrid is no longer a team that relies particularly on the core. Especially in this game, each of the three midfielders has the ability to become the core. As long as one is not defended, the team can organize the attack.

When seeing Morris being particularly targeted, Wansheng has already given instructions, asking the team to look for more opportunities from two flanks, which means to spread the attacking firepower, J-Rodriguez and Raul Garcia , can provide strong support to the wing, and Chelsea can't limit the wing, their defense can not cover so much.

Di Matteo soon realized that something was wrong.

Different from the beginning of the game, Atlético de Madrid started to attack from three lanes, and the offensive launched from the wing was no worse than the mid lane, especially Raul Garcia and J-Rodriguez, they and their teammates. The cooperation is extremely tacit, and the offensive launched frequently constantly threatens the team's defense. Perhaps more importantly, in front of J-Rodriguez and Raul Garcia, there are Ozil and Kevin Debrau. Among the two players, Ozil's performance is not too flashy, but his passing is still very accurate, and the occasional breakthrough is also very threatening, Kevin De Bruyne is a complete pass, he does not need There are too many opportunities, as long as they can get the ball on the wing, the next moment Chelsea will wait for the threat in the middle.

, Ozil and Kevin De Bruyne are not easy to defend, J-Rodriguez and Raul Garcia are unable to defend, their positions are too back, the team can't invest so much The defensive energy is in the midfield.

Di Matteo originally thought that as long as Maurice's point was blocked, he could directly limit Atletico Madrid's offensive, but he did not expect Atletico Madrid's wing to be so strong.

Ozil, Kevin De Bruyne, J Rodriguez, Raul Garcia... Among the four players, Ozil and Raul Garcia have already proven themselves, Kevin Deb Lawrence and J-Rodriguez are newcomers. Even J-Rodriguez is not bad. He can be regarded as a prominent star of Atletico Madrid, but Kevin De Bruyne?

The Belgian star is indeed the main force of Atletico Madrid, but the performance is not so outstanding.

How did it become so difficult to play against Chelsea?

If Wansheng knew what Di Matteo was thinking, he would definitely laugh. Di Matteo is simply too naive. Atletico Madrid can't achieve what it is today, it is absolutely impossible to rely on one or two players, Kevin Debrau Nei is not too prominent, and only because the other teammates are too prominent.

For example, Falcao and J-Rodriguez are the kind of players who perform very well and can score goals. In contrast, Kevin De Bruyne is naturally not outstanding, but he is definitely not bad. , otherwise it is impossible to sit firmly in the main position.

In fact, Kevin De Bruyne, like Maurice, Ozil and others, is the most stable player in the team's main position because of his stability and his excellent long balls.

Many Spanish media have described Kevin De Bruyne as "Atletico's Beckham".

It's not just a compliment, it's a fact.

Many young players have the title of 'the second star of so-and-so', but Kevin De Bruyne is worthy of the name. As long as he continues to develop, Wansheng believes that he will be better than Beckham in the future.

Of course, just on the field.

Not every football player can have a charming smile like David Beckham, and at the same time tap his own commercial potential as deeply.
