Chapter 21 The First Goal of the Season!
The first time any team faces the impact of Atletico Madrid, it will appear very flustered. Atletico Madrid's three fronts are pressing together, and the deterrent power alone is shocking enough.
At the same time as the overall pressure of the third tier, football was constantly being passed between Atlético de Madrid players, and the fans in the auditorium were dazzled by the smooth cooperation.
Morris's position is in the middle of the formation.
He is the core player in the team. To what extent the team's offense can be played, it can be said that it is closely related to Morris' performance.
Morris didn't feel anything, he was used to this kind of pressure.
Atletico Madrid's new tactical system 'B-TF' is more complicated than the previous Manchester City's 'OS-F'. Whether players run, pass and receive the ball, or move forward as a whole, the content is much more complicated. In the complex tactical system, each player performs his own duties, and all of them have become the running parts of the tactical system.
This complex tactical system will also weaken the importance of individual players.
Although Morris is the core of the team, he is only the hub of the midfield. In front of him, Ozil and Raul Garcia help share the pressure, but their positions are slightly closer to the wing. Just a little bit.
Nonetheless, Maurice's centrality remains unshakable.
His excellent dribbling and passing can integrate the team's third line into a whole. At the same time, his excellent individual ability can also directly endanger the Sevilla defense.
Regardless of whether Sevilla's defense is solid or not, there is not much they can do against Maurice.
One is that Morris is a little behind, and the other is that it is almost impossible for a player of Morris’s ability to really defend, and he constantly cooperates with his teammates to pass and receive the ball, which also makes it difficult for Sevilla players to limit .
Atletico Madrid played a wave of attacks and passed the ball directly to the penalty area of Sevilla.
Note that it is 'passed' to!
It's not a high-altitude ball, or that kind of sudden big foot, but after a series of short passes, the teammates in the penalty area received the pass, and the person who passed the wonderful ball was Ozil.
Sevilla was a little flustered for a while, but there was nothing they could do.
When Atlético de Madrid pressed on the third line, Maurice, as the core player, had too many passing routes, they could not block all the points, and saw Maurice hand the ball to Ozil , Ozil forcibly shook off Navarro and passed the ball to striker Diego Forlan.
Diego Forlan failed to score the ball, but Sevilla still broke into a cold sweat - the opponent's attack was terrible!
————
The players on the field in Sevilla felt the horror of Atletico Madrid for the first time.
The fans in the stands and the media present also felt it. Even the commentator of the local TV station in Sevilla had to say, "Atlético de Madrid's offensive efficiency is very high, and Sevilla should pay attention to defense!"
Sevilla, of course, want to pay attention to the defense.
The wave of Atlético de Madrid's offensive just now came almost directly from the front. It was not a counterattack, nor a sudden attack. It was an opportunity created by pressing the ball from the front and sending the ball to the penalty area after constant passing.
Alvarez also noticed.
But Alvarez thinks differently from the players on the field. As a head coach, sitting on the bench and watching the game, he sees more.
What amazes him...how Atlético de Madrid can be so skillful!
This is not like a team that has just experienced major turmoil. Looking at the pass from the opponent's midfielder Morris to striker Diego Forlan just now, people who don't know think that they have cooperated for many years!
Alvarez is also surprised by the situation of Atletico Madrid's attack. In his opinion, it is very unwise to press forward with the three lines together. If the ball is suddenly stolen, the defense is prone to major problems.
Here's his take on Atletico Madrid's offense.
So far, Alvarez has not seen what tactics Atletico Madrid are playing. After the game has been going on for so long, he sees that Atletico Madrid will move forward together in three lines as soon as they attack, and they will retreat quickly when defending. In terms of formation For example, the gap between the three lines of Atletico Madrid is very small. Most of the time, the area between the striker and the back line is only half the pitch. That is to say, Atletico Madrid seems to be paying attention to the lineup and will not pull the three fronts. too open.
But what tactic is this?
baffling!
While Alvarez was still mulling it over, Atletico Madrid had already made several waves.
Sevilla felt a crisis in the defensive line and had to retreat a little, but their tactics were not defensive counterattacks, so when they were suppressed, they felt a little unable to play.
In fact, this also makes Atletico Madrid players feel depressed.
The basic requirement of the new tactical system is full attack and full defense, and the continuous transition of offense and defense is what they want to see. Now Sevilla are playing half-court, they are holding the ball most of the time, so the game is like It's like breaking a dense defense.
"Sevilla really can't help but fight..."
Some players can't help but sigh, and they are also very proud.
This is the first game of the new season for Atlético de Madrid. Last season, Atlético de Madrid ranked in the middle of the league. There is nothing to say. It can’t be compared with Sevilla’s results. They originally thought that the away game against Sevilla would be It was very difficult. Unexpectedly, within twenty minutes, they achieved a situational suppression.
This is the strength of the team now!
Atlético de Madrid's players have grown in confidence, and they have gotten better and better.
In Atletico Madrid's lineup, the most attractive defenses are undoubtedly Ozil, Maurice and striker Diego Forlan. These three players are famous, and Sevilla has to pay attention.
They overlooked a young striker -- Diego Costa.
In this game, Diego Costa started and partnered with Diego Forlan. Although he got the start, the 22-year-old Diego Costa's reputation was far from good.
Atlético de Madrid has Diego Forlan in the frontcourt, Maurice, Ozil, and even Raul Garcia is much more famous than him, no matter what team it is asking for, the defense against each position of the opponent , there must be light and heavy, such as Diego Costa, a little-known teenager, their defense will definitely be weaker.
But Diego Costa is not the kind of player who has no strength!
Diego Costa is different from traditional Brazilian players. His style of play is tough and direct. He relies not only on technique, but also good physical fitness. In one-on-one confrontation, Diego Costa is even more outstanding. .
Wansheng knew that Diego Costa could play, so he asked the club to activate the buyback clause and brought him back to Atletico Madrid. When preparing for the summer, Wansheng had noticed Diego Costa because of his Physical confrontation, speed and shooting scores are very high.
In preparation for the training, Diego Costa's performance was also excellent.
Diego Costa's football is not good, but the key is that he can score goals, whether on the left or right foot or overhead, he can put the ball into the goal.
that's enough!
So Wansheng let Diego Costa start, and this time the Brazilian teenager also found a good opportunity.
Just when Sevilla was seriously defending several "threat" players at Atletico Madrid, Raul Garcia suddenly sent the ball to Diego Costa.
Costa is in a dangerous position on the penalty line.
Next to Sevilla central defender Cáceres hurried over to defend. He looked at the Brazilian boy in front of him and didn't care too much. In Spain, there are many Brazilian players, and many of them are best at playing games. bring.
When Costa dribbled the ball to the left, Cáceres thought it was a fake, as Brazilian players prefer to do it.
result……
Costa just waded the ball to the front and chased after it!
Caceres was a little stunned, in such a short time, Costa has overtaken him and caught up with the ball!
"Dangerous! Caceres was shaken!"
Until this time, Caceres was still a little confused. He subconsciously felt that Costa would definitely make a fake action, but he didn't expect the other party to go straight and go straight, and... the speed was too fast!
Oh, it's not common sense to play cards!
Costa didn't care what Caceres thought, he still thought this guy was a bit stupid, why didn't he chase after him immediately?
However, there is so little space in the penalty area, it is not enough for Costa to fully transform. Cáceres is experienced after all. He was stunned for a moment and immediately chased back. , the center of gravity of the body is somewhat unstable.
Football is already in front of you!
Costa seemed to be unable to control the ball, but no one expected that his left leg swung out, and immediately suffocated on the ball.
The force of the ball is a little small, but the angle is very tricky!
Sevilla goalkeeper Palop did not expect that the Brazilian teenager could still complete a shot despite his unstable body. As a result, when the ball flew to the goal, he couldn't make any moves at all, and he watched the football fly. Cross the door line.
————
"It's Diego Costa, the Brazilian striker who returned to Atletico Madrid in the summer..."
"Cáceres went to defend!"
"Diego Costa wants to break through, this young player is very courageous... oh, no..." The announcer at the Pisjuan Stadium just finished his words when he saw that Caceres was directly broken through. Before he had time to say anything, he saw Costa kick and shoot, and then he watched the football fly into the Sevilla goal.
Immediately, the stadium broadcaster was stunned, and he wiped his eyes, as if he didn't believe what he was seeing, and then said, "Diego Costa scored, he broke through Caceres with his left foot. Kick the ball into the goal..."
"1-0, Atlético de Madrid ahead of Sevilla!"
"..."
The live broadcast wasn't the only one to be stunned, as were the Sevilla fans at the Pizjuan Stadium, which was not the match they expected.
In the expectations of Sevilla fans, the first to score should be Sevilla!
Sevilla was fourth in the league last season; Sevilla is playing at home.
Before the start of the game, the head coach Alvarez was confident of victory; more than ten minutes before the start of the game, the Atlético Madrid they played could only 'hulled' in their own half.
All of the above advantages make Sevilla fans think that the team can definitely win this game. A good start to the league may not be a big deal, but it is always a sweep of the team’s consecutive defeats in August. haze.
How can the first goal will be Atlético de Madrid! ? ?
They do not understand, and it is difficult to accept.
In the silence of the Sevilla fans, the Atlético de Madrid fans were already cheering. From the start of the game, they have been worried. They did not expect the team to counterattack for such a long time and then complete the goal.
Atlético de Madrid fans are quite excited.
There were fewer than 3,000 Atlético de Madrid fans in the Pizjuan Stadium, but their cheers were still heard.
————
Seeing Diego Costa's goal, Wansheng, who was standing on the sidelines, also clenched his fists excitedly, and he yelled, "Nice job!"
The bench also cheered.
Wan Sheng and Lionel gave each other high fives, and then shouted, "Diego, that's great!"
"yes!"
Lionel was a little emotional.
Before the start of the game, when the coaching staff discussed starting the first game, Lionel proposed to play Klose. Klose was paired with Diego Forlan, two effective veteran partners in the World Cup. Always reassuring.
Lionel is actually worried about the team's striker.
Atlético de Madrid's front line is just a few people, two veterans, Diego Forlan and Klose, two youngsters Diego Costa and Wang Qiuming, in Lionel's view, the only pillar of the front line is Azerbaijan. Guerro, but Aguero is still training with the youth team, and only tactical training will be with the first team players.
Aguero will definitely not want to play.
Without Aguero, there are only two veterans and two 'too young' rookies left in the striker. 'Too young' is not only worth his age, Wang Qiuming, who is still under 18, needless to say, Diego Kos Tower is already 22 years old, but as a Brazilian striker, he has not yet been able to play at the age of 22. Perhaps on the one hand, it also shows his ability.
So Lionel is not optimistic about Diego Costa.
I didn't expect it!
It is such a not optimistic forward, but it is very direct to help Atletico Madrid score the first goal of the new season!
"He did a great job!" Lionel exclaimed.
Wansheng sees more.
Diego Costa's goal is beautiful, but Wansheng wants to see the team use real games to prove the success of 'B-TF' football.
This goal at least proves that the team's offense is quite good.
Not only scoring goals, Atletico Madrid also played quite smooth and excellent attacks several times before, and Sevilla could only shrink the defense line and retreat.
This is success!
After taking the lead, Wansheng didn't even look at the Sevilla coaching bench. To conquer Spanish football, he had to prove only two opponents-Real Madrid and Barcelona, and he was only opponents. Two people - Mourinho and Guardiola.
Sevilla coach Alvarez is still a bit unqualified! (To be continued ~^~)
