Chapter 232 For the Team and for You!

Latest website: During the halftime break, Barcelona took the players back to the locker room.

After Valverde came on the field, he gave every player a recognition. In the stalemate in the first half, the players' performance was extremely impressive.

Valverde particularly praised Yile's backward header in the penalty area. He was amazed by this creativity and technique on the court.

Although he is mentally prepared, Yi Le surprises him in every game.

In the second half, Valverde kept his lineup unchanged.

As a coach who came out of Athletic Bilbao, Valverde has developed a good habit of making the most of the limited cards in his hand.

Athletic Bilbao's bench and starting lineup are not ideal, and this is also the reason for the formation of Valverde's characteristics.

Valverde was able to perform well at Athletic Bilbao.

Now look at this lineup.

There are many world-renowned stars gathered, including Messi, Yile, Suarez and other top players in the world, which allows him to try more lineups.

In the past, Valverde was a cautious person. After all, the limited bench thickness could not support his tactical ideals.

But after coming to Barcelona, ​​he began to gradually change.

He began to try more playing styles. Although he still focused on passing and controlling, it didn't mean that he didn't study other things.

Just like Barcelona's former forward-less formation, Valverde also considered whether it could be repeated.

The importance of this system lies in the midfield, and the midfielder must gain an advantage.

And the midfielder with Yile in charge gives Valverde this confidence.

Of course, this system is not yet mature, and...Suarez, isn't he good?

The entire Barcelona locker room was chatting and laughing, and everyone seemed extremely relaxed.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid is indeed gloomy.

Simeone kept encouraging the players,

But obviously the effect is not good, and many players have begun to experience a negative situation.

Yes, one goal doesn't matter much.

But the problem is cognitive.

When Atletico Madrid's most proud defense and pressing system did nothing, they were at a loss.

Even Simone stopped talking and did not respond for a long time.

After halftime, Simeone took a deep breath and said:

"Anthony."

Everyone raised their heads when they heard the sound and looked in the direction of Griezmann.

Griezmann also looked up at Simeone.

Simeone stared at Griezmann with his sharp eyes and said: "I want to confirm whether you still regard yourself as a member of Atletico Madrid."

After hearing this, Griezmann said without hesitation: "I am still an Atletico Madrid player."

Simeone nodded and said: "Okay, I know you want to move to Barcelona and want a better environment, but that will happen later. Now we need to make it clear that Barcelona is our enemy."

"I don't know if you made the right choice or if your future is bright, but none of that matters now."

"You need to score goals, for the team and for you!"

Griezmann pursed his lips and said: "What should I do?"

"In the second half, based on the original basis, we have to put more emphasis on offense. You need to attack from the side. I think that is your position in the future."

"Barcelona's defense is not strong. You have sufficient personal ability to contain them and relieve the pressure on the midfielder."

"Felix will stand in front of you. I know you don't like to confront each other head-on, so I will give you enough space, remove all obstacles for you, and support you with enough artillery shells. My conditions are only One, goal! Can you do it?"

Griezmann raised his chest and raised his head and said loudly: "Yes!"

Simeone is right, this game is crucial.

Whether it is for Atletico Madrid now or Barcelona in the future, he needs a good performance.

Goal!

Goals are everything!

"Okay, now the tactics are clear, I think you also know how to play football." Simeone clapped his hands and said loudly: "Now let the Chinese see how Atletico Madrid plays football! "

...

In the second half, the personnel of both sides did not change, and even the formations did not change. This made many commentators curious about Simeone's tactics.

After all, they didn't make any changes despite the unfavorable situation in the first half.

Luckily for Barcelona, ​​they had already scored in the first half. Now it is Atletico Madrid that is anxious, and it is also Atletico Madrid that needs to make changes, and they need to remain unchanged in response to changes.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Barcelona took the lead.

After Suarez kicked off the ball, he passed it directly back to Yile.

As soon as Yi Le touched the ball, he saw Griezmann and Felix rushing towards him, which surprised him secretly: "So fast!"

Yi Le was surprised, but his movements were not slow.

He pulls the ball, turns and combines everything, passes the ball with the arch of his feet, and then pulls towards the wing. While running, he controls the rhythm of the entire right half.

All this happened in a blink of an eye, which made the commentators marvel at Yi Le's adaptability.

But soon, an accident happened.

Felix and Griezmann were like two tigers, running rampant in the frontcourt, putting huge pressure on Barcelona.

It even caused Yile to have to retreat to take control.

Simeone stood on the sideline until Yile retreated and took control, then he slowly exhaled.

Forcing Yile to retreat is a good start, but the next step is the key, relying on pressing to disrupt the rhythm and relieve the pressure in the midfield.

Yile kept passing the football in the half-court. If you look closely, you can find that with Yile as the center, the football was constantly passed back and forth, but it just couldn't run across the half-court.

Atletico Madrid's aggressive pressing in the frontcourt yielded sufficient results.

The pace is fast, and Atletico Madrid players are like hungry wolves, constantly accelerating.

Yi Le wanted to slow down the pace of the game, but faced Atletico Madrid's pressing, he was a little helpless.

Fast delivery, quick movement and quick transition between offense and defense.

These are quickly consuming the physical energy of Barcelona players.

Yi Le is okay, but obviously some people can't keep up with the rhythm.

It's like Busquets has become tired and needs teammates to help him defend several times.

Playing like this is not the way to go.

Yi Le decisively pulled to the wing, and then kicked the ball forward.

This was a decision made out of necessity. He knew that if they continued playing like this, let alone passing the ball, they would all be in danger of losing the ball.

Kicking the ball to the front court can not only reduce the danger level but also relieve the pressure on the back line.

Although this was a stupid way, Yi Le couldn't find any other good way for a while.
