1175 Don't Let Them Block Our Door!
【Starting from coaching Real Madrid】 【】
On the evening of May 24th, the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal.
Weather: sunny to cloudy.
Temperature: 14 degrees to 17 degrees.
Wind direction: North wind 4.
This is a more suitable weather for football games.
Before this Champions League final, Lisbon had 4 consecutive days of light to moderate rain from the 19th to the 22nd. Both yesterday and today were sunny and cloudy, which is really a blessing in disguise.
Standing at the door of the home team's locker room at the Stadium of Light, Gao Shen hugged his players one by one, sent his blessings and encouragement, and sent them out of the locker room to the upcoming battlefield.
Every Real Madrid player has a dignified face, because they all know the weight of this game.
The Stadium of Light is not big, it can only accommodate 60,000 people, and the actual attendance of Real Madrid fans is less than 25,000, because the opposing sides have divided 40,000 tickets equally, and the rest belong to UEFA, which cannot buy tickets from the club Fans can only buy from UEFA or other channels.
This is a focus game that has attracted worldwide attention. Fans from all over the world are gathering in Lisbon, and it is hard to get a ticket.
At the end of the team was the goalkeeper Courtois. After Gao Shen high-fived the Belgian goalkeeper who was nearly two meters tall, he hugged him and gave him encouragement.
"I am very sure that tonight will be yours!"
Courtois smiled and nodded, very confident.
Gao Shen still remembers that in his previous life, in this final, Courtois should have been on the side of Atletico Madrid, but now he belongs to Real Madrid. This is not to say that the arrival of Gao Shen did not produce the so-called butterfly effect.
On the contrary, not only Courtois, but also like Felipe Luiz, he is not in Atletico Madrid, but in Manchester City, which leads to Atletico Madrid's left back is Siqueira.
But the Sheets still reached the Champions League final, which once again proves a truth.
Football really is a team sport!
When Atletico Madrid does something right, when this team adjusts to a certain balance point and bursts out with the strongest combat effectiveness, even if it loses a certain, or even a certain two key players, it will not matter. Give them too much influence.
Simeone will always find a way to solve the problem.
As it is now.
In front of the players, Gao Shen always looked confident, but after all the players had left, Gao Shen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.
In the past, when I was in the company, I controlled the employees like this, and now I am the head coach, and I still control the locker room.
...
Goalkeeper: Asenjo.
Defense: Siqueira, Godin, Miranda, Juanfran.
Midfield: Koke, Gabi, Thiago, Raul Garcia.
Forwards: Villa and Diego Costa.
This is Atletico Madrid's starting lineup for tonight.
On April 42, Simeone obviously wanted to adopt a more balanced tactic.
Real Madrid also sent their main players to play.
Goalkeeper: Courtois.
Defense: Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal.
Midfield: Toni Kroos, Xabi Alonso and Modric.

Forwards: Ronaldo, Benzema and Di Maria.
Real Madrid also played with their most familiar, best, and strongest lineup and tactics.
The midfield configuration was balanced and stable, and on the bench, Gao Shen did not arrange Casemiro, and Yinlia Lamendi sat.
In addition, Insko and Pogba also entered,
And Morata.
This is actually able to see Gao Shen's attitude in tonight's game, that is, Real Madrid will adopt active tactics.
From the perspective of player configuration, Real Madrid is also inclined to attack.
Simeone obviously also felt the determination from Gao Shen.
The two met at the entrance of the player tunnel. Simeone was one step ahead of Gao Shen. When he saw Gao Shen coming out, he immediately greeted him with a smile. They shook hands and patted each other politely, and chatted a few words.
Gao Shen took the initiative to "subdue softness", hoping that Simeone would be merciful with his feet and hands.
Simeone couldn't hear the profound meaning, so he laughed, "No way, you are so strong, we dare not go all out."
In fact, this is also one of the magic weapons for Atletico Madrid to repeatedly overcome strong enemies.
They are just like Simeone's playing style, very good at cruising on the line of law enforcement standards.
Atletico Madrid never cared about fouls, and they didn't care about the flow of the game. To some extent, the flow of the game was exactly what they wanted. What they really cared about was whether they would get a card.
Before the game, both sides had done research, and they both knew exactly what kind of referee Bjorn Keppers was.
In contrast, Atletico Madrid has the advantage, while Real Madrid has already fallen behind before the game.
...
After guessing the side, Atletico Madrid chose the left side, and Real Madrid got the kick-off right.
But tonight's kickoff was not the same as in the past.
It can be seen clearly from the positions of the players on both sides.
Benzema and Modric stand in the middle circle, Ronaldo and Di Maria are separated on the two wings, and Marcelo and Carvajal are both pressed very forward.
This led to Real Madrid's position at the kick-off, a bit like two-four-four, and even Marcelo and Carvajal were very close to the winger position.
Atletico Madrid adopts the standard 442 position.
With a whistle from Bjorn Keipers, Benzema played the ball to Modric amidst the cheers of the fans.
As soon as Modric stopped the ball, he shifted his right foot directly and gave the ball to the left.
Ronaldo stopped the ball, and Marcelo quickly advanced from behind him, even rushing forward than Ronaldo.
But both Raúl Garcia and Diego Costa pressed up at the same time.
Gao Shen's strategy has been deployed very clearly before the game. When the enemy advances, we advance, and when the enemy retreats, we control.
What Atlético Madrid is best at is to suppress the opponent on the side. This set is very similar to Gao Shen's high-position press and oppression tactics. Because of the limited space on the side, the press and oppression effect is the best.
Therefore, according to the strategy given by Gao Shen, once Atletico Madrid steps forward, Real Madrid will transfer.
Ronaldo stopped the ball and did not pass it to Marcelo in front, because he knew very well that after passing it to Marcelo and after Juanfran came up, Atletico Madrid formed a three-on-two situation on the wing. Very unfavorable.

It might even be stolen.
So, Ronaldo didn't even look for Marcelo, and passed it back to Toni Kroos.
Toni Kroos understood, stopped the ball with his right foot, turned sideways, glanced at the right side, and directly transferred it with a long pass.
The ball was accurately transferred to the right side of the court.
Standing in the deep position of the home team's coaching bench, it happens to be at the far end.
Di Maria has already rushed forward. After seeing the long pass from Toni Kroos, he judged the landing point, retreated, turned his back to the attacking direction on the right line, and stopped Toni Kroos's pass the ball.
At this moment, Carvajal shouted a warning, telling Di Maria to be careful of Siqueira.
But where is there still time?
Siqueira dribbles directly from behind and tackles Di Maria.
The whole stadium immediately boos and cheers intertwined.
It was Real Madrid fans who booed, and Atletico Madrid fans who cheered.
The referee made it clear that this was a foul, a set kick by Real Madrid.
"Only 8 seconds into the game, Atletico Madrid fouled."
“It's really special Atletico Madrid!”
...
When Atletico Madrid retreated, Real Madrid quickly sent a free kick, but failed to make a threat, and quickly passed back to reorganize.
Real Madrid went from right to left and then suddenly shifted to the right.
Carvajal drove the ball forward and quickly passed it to Benzema who retreated to respond.
The French center turned his back to the attacking direction, stopped the ball and gave it to Di Maria on the right, and turned around and went forward.
The Argentine passed to Benzema again, and he also sprinted forward quickly.
Benzema understood it, and then passed it back to Di Maria's front, forming a beautiful sidewalk hit the wall.
After Di Maria caught up with the ball, he faced Siqueira on the right side of Atletico Madrid's penalty area. He made a sudden stop, smashed the ball inward, and abruptly passed between Siqueira and the retreating Cork. Dribbled the ball through, cut to the front of the penalty area, and passed the ball diagonally to the penalty area with a low and flat left foot.
Both Benzema and Ronaldo failed to grab the point, and Godin took the lead to clear the ball.
But Real Madrid still seized Atletico Madrid's left and began to attack non-stop.
Di Maria and Carvajal are in good condition. They continuously attack from the right. There is a feeling that they want to directly beat Atletico Madrid to the ground, and they still want to stab Atletico Madrid on the left.
In less than three minutes, Real Madrid launched several consecutive attacks on the right, and two of them even broke into Atletico Madrid's penalty area, which made Simeone a little restless on the sidelines.
In front of the coaching bench of the visiting team, Simeone, dressed in a black suit, black shirt, black tie, dark skin, and bearded, looked like a mafia boss, waving his hands constantly, signaling the team to go Press forward, press forward.
"Don't let them block our door, bastard!"
Atletico Madrid quickly tried to counterattack, but the long pass was too urgent, Cork missed and went out of the sideline near the center line.
After Real Madrid quickly threw the ball out of bounds, it continued to pass in the backcourt, pulling Atletico Madrid's defense.
From left to right, then right to left, and vice versa...
The players in the frontcourt of Atletico Madrid went up again, but Real Madrid quickly moved out again.
Carvajal, Modric, Xabi Alonso...the ball goes forward.

Ronaldo fought for the first landing point, headed the ball behind him, handed it to Benzema, and moved forward quickly after landing.

Benzema couldn't jump, got stuck in the position, and directly headed back, falling on Ronaldo's sprint line.
The Portuguese stopped the ball and was about to rush into the penalty area.
At the critical moment, Juanfran was tackled to the ground from the rear side and took a free kick.
Still no cards!
Has been fouled several times without even a verbal warning.
Gao Shen nodded towards Ramos, and the latter rushed over immediately, as the captain, to protest to the referee.
As the head coach, Gao Shen was even more excited. He kept yelling on the sidelines, spitting at the fourth official, accusing the referee of being too disrespectful, and not giving cards for fouls from the side and rear.
"Look at his law enforcement, is it fair?" Gao Shen angrily scolded the fourth official.
With his status in European football today, he did not swear or attack personally, and he was justified. The competing players stepped forward to obstruct, and the two sides almost started fighting, and the scene was a little tense for a while.
Fortunately, Real Madrid is more restrained, just posturing, not escalating the situation.
After appeasing the two sides, the referee also walked to the sidelines and appeased Gao Shen, saying that he would control the game well.
Then it signaled the game to continue.
Real Madrid's free kick.
