Chapter 226 Steel Defense Line
The morning rest allowed Yi Le to regain some energy. After all, he had the capital to exercise all year round, and his physical recovery ability was very good. After sleeping for a few hours, he suddenly felt full of energy.
But not everyone is like Yi Le, just like Fati.
When he was 17 or 8 years old, he was just about to fall into drowsiness. Being up all night without sleeping was really hard on him. Even if he caught up on some sleep in the morning, he still felt listless.
Valverde sees all this and is ready to remove Fati from the starting lineup.
At around 11 a.m., Yile was called into the room by Valverde to make individual tactical arrangements.
Among the entire team, Messi and Yile were the only ones who received individual instructions from Valverde before the game.
The former is due to internal status relations.
The latter is the core position.
For Valverde, he does not force the entire team to understand his tactics, but only Yile must understand.
Valverde knows very well that in Barcelona, Yile has always played the role of the commander.
Only when the commander understands the strategic intent can he implement targeted tactics.
In the room, Valverde pulled a chair over for Yi Le to sit down, while he sat on the edge of the bed, holding a notebook in his hand, and said: "Atletico Madrid's threat is not only in their defense, but also in the midfield and frontcourt. Press.”
Yi Le immediately said: "You want me to hold the ball more?"
Valverde said with a smile: "It's not about holding the ball, but about passing or taking the ball out during the press. Messi used to do this job, but you know, it's not the best choice for him to do this kind of role. .”
Yi Le nodded and understood.
Messi's threat still needs to be placed in the frontcourt. If he retreats too far to catch the ball, Barcelona will lose its offensiveness in the frontcourt.
But Valverde had no choice at the time. Apart from Messi, he could not find another role that could connect the team in Atletico Madrid's pressing.
Now that Yi Le has arrived, he is just qualified for this role.
Of course, Yi Le can play many roles, starting with his comprehensiveness.
Valverde is always happy to coach Yile. He found that with Yile, the application of many tactics has become extremely simple.
Yi Le can handle most of the core positions of tactics.
If Barcelona had one more organizer in the frontcourt, he would want to put Yile in Busquets' position to completely penetrate the entire team.
Of course, this is a waste of natural resources.
Valverde knows the threat of Yile better than anyone. If he is allowed to retreat too deep, it will weaken the team's offense.
The two talked for nearly an hour, mostly about tactics, but the person who mentioned it the most was Simeone.
Both Yile and Valverde were deeply impressed by this bandit coach.
Simeone's coaching style reveals two words everywhere.
discipline!
Yes, Atletico Madrid is not so much a club as it is an army.
They are extremely disciplined and motivated.
And most of them are young players, who can easily enliven the atmosphere. Under the guidance of a famous coach like Simeone, these young players can exert jaw-dropping energy.
Atletico Madrid also has another characteristic, that is, they can run, especially they can run.
In the past, Paris Saint-Germain was regarded as the team with the best running skills, but Atletico Madrid is not far behind.
In last year's European Super Cup, the running distance of the two teams in a single game exceeded the sky, which was called an intense marathon.
Yi Le doesn't know who is better at Atletico Madrid or Paris last year, but one thing is certain, Barcelona will definitely not be able to outrun Atletico Madrid now.
Then the problem returns to passing control.
Must hold the ball!
This means that Barcelona controls the initiative. When the running distance is insufficient, if they lose the initiative, they will be slowly worn out.
Yi Le couldn't imagine this scene.
At the same time, he not only lamented that his playing style back then was really annoying.
.......
On the other side, inside Atletico Madrid’s training base.
As the game approached, Simeone was still alone in the tactical room, staring at the tactical panel.
If you look carefully, you can see that his eyes are fixed on one point.
Midfield position!
In Atletico Madrid's previous games against Barcelona or Real Madrid, Messi and Ronaldo played extremely important roles.
Both players are Simeone's nightmare.
Of course, he is more afraid of Ronaldo than Messi.
This comes from Ronaldo's ability to always burst out with a jaw-dropping presence at critical moments.
Of course, Messi's skills are also a highlight in today's football, but everyone has mental attributes. Simeone feels that Ronaldo has an overwhelming advantage in this aspect.
Therefore, he is not so afraid of Barcelona.
But this was before.
Because there is also a figure similar to Cristiano Ronaldo in the Barcelona team today.
Yile, this name is a hot topic in football recently.
For Simeone, he admires Yi Le and admires him at the same time.
This starts from the last few rounds of last year's Champions League. Even though the entire Paris Saint-Germain team was dragged down by the fifth line, severely lacking in physical fitness, and even had Neymar and Mbappe in the team, they still won the single-season title. Champions League champion.
This had a great impact on Simeone.
He has always emphasized the importance of a unit, and his playing style is also very tough.
Last year's Paris Saint-Germain team fascinated Simeone. This is his dream team.
Faced with difficulties, they never give up!
Facing challenges, they move forward bravely!
Many people say that Yi Le is an elf.
This comes from Yile’s technical style.
But people obviously overlooked something more important.
Putting aside the disguise of technology, Yi Le inside is a violent, radical and full of fighting spirit!
Yes! Fighter!
This is Simone's most direct sense of Yi Le.
He had checked Yile's information, and he wanted to know the growth process of Yile's spiritual attributes.
He discovered that this was something that started very early in the journey.
During his time at Millwall in the English Championship, in that violent team, Yi Le learned a lot and at the same time developed his own unique playing style.
Outside, many people are saying that Phoenix will become the second Yile.
But Simeone knows that Phoenix and Yile have never been a similar team.
Phoenix is a pure playmaker.
He can connect the team, but Simeone cannot place high hopes on him and put the magic weapon of victory on him.
But if it were Yile, he would be willing to put All in!
However, now the player he admires is his opponent. Because he knows too much, he also knows how difficult Yile is.
He wouldn't want to offend Yi Le in other ways.
In fact, Ronaldo has proven that once players of their type are angered, their mentality will not collapse, but they will make you doubt your life.
Simeone is not prepared to restrict Yile, but he will restrict Yile's passing path.
Since you can't watch him die, let him play hard.
Yi Le is also a human being. After being impatient, will he make mistakes?
Simeone is very much looking forward to this.
