Chapter 228 Encountering a Blockade
On CCTV Channel 5, He Wei was also commentating on the game.
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are a major clash in La Liga. It can be said that except for the national derby, the quality of this game is at the top of the league.
After both teams have strengthened in the summer, it is also worth looking forward to what kind of performance they can perform.
"From this game, the problem before Simeone is still how to restrict Yile. As a defensive master in European football, we look forward to how he will restrict Barcelona's midfield." He Wei said.
The guest commentator, Liu Jianhong, nodded consciously and said: "The Atletico Madrid coached by Simeone has extremely strong discipline, and combined with the unique enthusiasm of young people, it can be said that this team is like a ball of light that people dare not look directly at. , their playing style was full of enthusiasm, and with the home advantage, it was a good start to their victory.”
The two of them commented around the game.
At this time, the camera switched and the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium came into view.
The scene of excited fans.
Crazy whistles, shouts, and stomping sounds came through the TV.
This makes the fans in front of the TV feel like they are there even if they are not watching the game live.
Macau fans are fanatical.
These Madrileños asserted their sovereignty in the most radical manner.
The red and blue stripes all over the field and the giant TIFOs in the stands all showed their belief in winning.
On the other hand, the Barcelona fans in the crowd were so suppressed that they couldn't even lift their heads.
They cheered as hard as they could, but they were no match for this group of people.
Even so, Barcelona fans still shouted until their faces turned red, raising a flag high and shaking it vigorously to encourage the home team.
Soon, players from both sides began to enter.
The on-site commentator shouted the name of each player one by one.
Atletico Madrid players received the most enthusiastic cheers.
But what was given to the Barcelona players was boos again and again.
Even Messi was booed.
But the Barcelona players didn't have too many feelings. They had anticipated this kind of scene in advance.
Everyone walked towards the stadium with indifferent expressions and lined up neatly in front of the audience.
The captains of both teams toss a coin to make their selection.
Finally comes the handshake session.
There is a detail in this link. Griezmann and Yi Le did not shake hands, but hugged.
Yi Le was a little surprised at first. After all, he was not too familiar with Griezmann, but after thinking about it for a moment, he understood that Griezmann was showing his kindness to him.
Yi Le was a little emotional.
Griezmann lowered his profile and lost a lot by choosing to come to Barcelona.
A generation of sharpshooters, fighting for an unclear future, ended up in a mess.
The two sides came to their respective halves, and Yi Le was doing chest-expanding exercises while observing the opponent's lineup.
It was no different than what he thought.
A 4-4-2 formation.
The midfielder arranges Correa, Gerrera, Partey and Koke.
These four players are all well-rounded, but sometimes well-rounded can also mean mediocre.
This midfielder is more defensive, has strong interception ability in a wide range, and is also very capable of running.
Yi Le remembers that last year, these same people were able to keep up with Paris Saint-Germain's running distance and rhythm, which shows that they have extremely strong physical fitness.
Simeone's intention is obvious, that is to cause trouble in the midfield.
To this end, he placed the young star Phoenix in the frontcourt, forming a double forward with Griezmann.
It can be said that these two people are the main figures in Ma Jing's counterattack, and the others are tool men.
The only good thing is that Costa was injured.
Even though Costa's condition has not been very good recently, Yile is deeply impressed by this battering ram.
During the Premier League period, Costa's goals at Chelsea were overbearing.
His excellent physical fitness makes him the team's bronze hammer, with the ability to create miracles.
Even now, Yile does not dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Costa. After all, although Yile has gained muscle, he is still in agility in terms of player type.
He didn't dare to build too much muscle for fear of destroying his agility.
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Yile became the focus of Atletico Madrid's care.
But Simeone's defensive art is obviously different from others. He did not interfere with Yi Le too much, but blocked Yi Le's passing path and cut off the connection between Yi Le and Messi.
The most amazing thing is that on this basis, they can also form a network surrounding Yi Le.
Yile was also extremely surprised by Atletico Madrid's defense. Facing the surrounding net, Yile had no choice but to make a long pass.
But Atletico Madrid once again built a siege network in another area, and the speed was jaw-dropping.
In the footage, Valverde appears on the sidelines with his arms folded and frowning as he stares at the court.
Obviously, he underestimated the defensive capabilities of this Atletico Madrid team.
They used the method of blocking passing channels to freeze the passing and control, and also forced Yile to be unable to enter the frontcourt.
Yi Le looked back from time to time, paying attention to the positions of Griezmann and Phoenix.
Their positions are very elegant and they are in a state of readiness.
In this case, Yi Le was completely frozen.
"Yi was restrained!"
The assistant coach came over and said.
Valverde pursed his lips, nodded slowly and said: "Simone has found a way, or in other words, he has found how to use Barcelona's loopholes to restrict Yi Le!"
Yes, that's Barcelona's loophole.
If it were during the Paris Saint-Germain era, would Atletico Madrid dare to play like this?
Neymar and Mbappe can kill them unexpectedly.
At present, Atletico Madrid has grasped the problem of Barcelona's inability to run, and uses this to restrict Yi Le.
The game is still going on, with Yile passing back and transferring again and again.
Fans were surprised to find that Yile spent most of this game making conservative passes.
This is very different from his previous playing style.
But there are also some football-savvy fans who know Yile's current situation.
There is no doubt about Yi Le's strength. With his performance in the Champions League, in the eyes of many teams, he is a dragon-slaying knife that kills strong teams.
But even the dragon-slaying knife needs a martial arts master to accompany it.
Barcelona's loneliness is a fact. Yile's arrival has given the team a shot in the arm, but it has not fundamentally solved the problem.
Now, once Yi Le loses his voice, Barcelona once again shows its weakness.
"Yi was tightly guarded and all passing paths were blocked. Atletico Madrid did a good job of restricting Yi in this game. They accurately grasped our pulse. Although in the league, Suarez's progress There are a lot of goals, but we all know that the reason why Suarez can score so many goals has something to do with the support in the midfield.”
"When Barcelona was in trouble, Yi came back here and helped us get out of a bad situation. Now that Yi is in trouble, who can help him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the commentator in the Barcelona area shouted in surprise; "Messi retreated!"
