Chapter 1083: Tragic Hero

"Okay, nice job, Messi!"

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

This breath has been held for a long time, and this time I can finally vent!

Not only him, but in the chairman's stand, there were also many guests and fans who supported Southampton, who also shouted excitedly, and some even danced to celebrate Southampton's equalization.

It is only 31 minutes now. This is the third shot of the Saints in this game, but it has scored a goal. The efficiency is high, not inferior to Atletico Madrid, which started by relying on defensive counterattacks.

Yang Huan also sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Simeone is probably going to be sad again!"

From Master Huan's standpoint, he can accept whoever wins or loses between Southampton and Atletico Madrid.

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

Unbeknownst to everyone, the balance of the situation on the pitch changed quietly and unknowingly. After Southampton equalized the score, everyone suddenly realized that Atlético Madrid was no longer good to play.

If Simeone's team can hold on to the first half, there is still a lot of hope for the second half.

But now, Atletico Madrid can't hold it after 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 else can Simeone do?

keep attacking?

Don't be ridiculous, the team has spent thirty minutes, and it is difficult to suppress the Saints. If we strengthen the attack at this time, isn't it lighting the toilet in the toilet, courting death?

But if Simeone chooses to retreat, he will basically give up the game.

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

There is an hour left, if the situation is in the hands of the Saints, can his team hold up?

"Cough!" Bielsa sighed heavily.

Strictly speaking, Simeone can be considered to have a little master-disciple friendship with him.

"As I said just now, the problem with Atletico Madrid is that when the midfield is pressing, it is a bit disconnected from the back line."

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

In the end, the old master is the old master, and it hits the nail on the head.

The main problem in the conceded goal just now lies in the midfielder of Iliaramendi.

But is it not his fault?

not necessarily!

Because the teammates such as Krichowiak and others in front are pressing up, Ilya Ramendi's position must also move forward, otherwise the distance will increase, and an obvious neutral position will be formed, which will be used by Southampton.

The situation just now was that after Ilya Ramendi pressed up, the front could not be held. Di Maria suddenly came up from behind and used his speed to make a time difference.

The midfielder failed to return to the penalty area in time, and Montoya was taken away from the defense line by the retreating Hazard. No player could follow Di Maria in time, so it could only be the central defender.

But when Otamendi moved, Suarez followed.

The Uruguayan was too shrewd, too cunning, and stuck Jimenez when he was running.

Jimenez lacks 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 and directly faced Otamendi and Jimenez who had rushed to the challenge, two-on-two, which was too beneficial for the attackers.

If either Ilha Ramendi and Montoya were able to retreat to the penalty area in time, then three-on-two, Atletico Madrid's hope of holding on to it would increase greatly, and it would not be so easy for the Saints to break the goal.

It should be said that Atletico Madrid's entire defensive formation is so tight, looking at today's football, there are only a handful of them that can break through.

In this game, Simeone also focused on the layout, using the main force. From a tactical point of view, he hardly made the slightest mistake.

But the problem is, 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 Atlético de Madrid's defense just now, can be caught and quickly converted into goals, I am afraid only Southampton.

Not even teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich can.

Thinking of this, Pochettino glanced at his teacher Bielsa with admiration.

As early as just now, before the Saints had seized the opportunity, Bielsa had already seen the problem of Atletico Madrid.

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

This also makes Pochettino quite admire, but also clearly understand that he has more to learn.

Just when Pochettino was in awe, Bielsa, who was sitting beside him, spoke again.

"Diego should stabilize the situation now. This goal conceded a big blow to the morale of the players, and his mentality will definitely loosen. Especially the young players in the team must stabilize first."

Pochettino understood what Bielsa meant. At this time, the team's morale was unstable. If the Saints scored another goal, Atletico Madrid would be really dangerous.

One-to-one, the Sheet Legion still has a chance.

Although it is said that the longer the delay is, the better it will be for the saints, but at least there is still a chance.

If he loses the ball again, there is really no chance at all.

"However, with Diego's character, he probably won't be willing to retreat here!" Yang Huan said with a wry smile.

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

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

Now, the opportunity is at hand, the Champions League trophy is within reach, will he give up?

That is to say, at this moment, Yang Huan deeply realized that sometimes in order to get it, you have to know how to give up first!

Give up the chance to compete for the Champions League, choose to retreat, stabilize the situation, play to the strengths of their own defense, and wait for Southampton to make mistakes, then Atletico Madrid has hope.

But if you don't retreat and fight head-to-head, then I'm afraid...

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

The Argentines have carefully prepared for this final for two or three years. How can they be willing to retreat?

Or, the players on the pitch have already played too hot and are simply out of Simeone's control.

Anyway, after conceding the ball, Atlético de Madrid launched a frantic counterattack and pressed towards Southampton.

This wave of madness has indeed gained a lot. Atlético de Madrid got two very threatening shots, but failed to get a chance to score. Instead, in the 38th minute, their physical fitness declined and the back line appeared. loopholes.

Toni Kroos made a long pass and accurately found Suarez who was successful against offside.

After the Uruguayan got the ball, he entered the penalty area to form a single-handed shot and easily shot.

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

Simeone on the sidelines covered his head forcefully, as if he would use all his strength to twist his head off his shoulders.

But even this self-inflicted act failed!

Two to one, Southampton reversed!

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

No one likes losing.

Losing in the final is what everyone hates!

They have lost once and lost a Champions League final, so they have come to terms with their pain and have been preparing carefully for two years before making a comeback and wanting to make a difference.

Simeone even had the urge to vomit blood, and he wanted to ask God, why is this happening?

He and his team have done well enough, and have even done their best, so why still lose?

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

Simeone wanted to shout loudly, "I'm going to do something, labor and capital don't believe this evil!"

But his reason forced him to calm down, because he knew that his team, his players, were still waiting for him.

At this time, the morale of the team fell to a low point. If Simeone, the head coach, did not adjust quickly and help the team, then Atletico Madrid would not just lose.

Maybe even lose the future!

One to two, this is called a loss, which 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, a fiasco.

The worse the loss, the harder it is for Atletico Madrid to turn around.

Simone isn't the kind of mother-in-law who can afford to lose.

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

Therefore, after a short period of emotional loss, Simeone quickly walked to the sidelines, immediately shouted at the players, and adjusted the team's tactics.

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

This withdrawal also basically announced that Atletico Madrid gave up the dominance of the game.

Unless Southampton makes their own mistakes, Atletico Madrid will struggle to win.

Therefore, after seeing Atletico Madrid retreat, Ancelotti's original serious expression suddenly burst into laughter like a chrysanthemum, and he finally had a feeling of winning.

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

In the stands, Pochettino was also very embarrassed to see Simeone adjust his tactics.

"The strong man broke his wrist, and Simeone is still Simeone!"

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

I'm afraid there are very few, and more should be like just now, when my head is hot, and I go out and do my best.

Able to bend and stretch, Simeone is as resilient as his Atlético de Madrid.

Bielsa also nodded, "This Atletico Madrid team still has potential to be tapped. Montoya, Jimenez, Jose Gaya, Ilha Ramendi and others are still young, not yet experienced enough, and tactical. There is still room for improvement at the level, and in the long run, losing this game is not necessarily a bad thing for Atlético Madrid."

After listening to Yang Huan, he laughed, "You are our group's consultant, go back and analyze it with Simone."

Bielsa smiled slightly and agreed.

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

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

Of course, some of these problems may have been realized by Simeone for a long time, and they may even be deliberately kept by him, but there may also be some that he did not notice.

In any case, it is necessary to have a good talk.

Yang Huan sat in the stands and looked at Simeone in front of the visiting team's coaching bench. He suddenly had a feeling.

Is it because the Argentines are not handsome enough and the Atlético de Madrid style is not gorgeous enough, so they are destined to be tragic heroes instead of male protagonists?

Although he is the boss, he is not God, so he does not know.

But he is willing to bet as much as he wants, and he is convinced that Simeone and his Atlético de Madrid will succeed.

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