Chapter 290 Careful Preparation

Before the game started, Sun Pan had already turned on the TV, waiting for the game to start. At the same time, he was still chatting in the group with several other friends who were not participating in the competition.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, he moved his eyes away from the mobile phone screen and turned to the TV.

He saw Dortmund forward Mark gently kick the football away, and then another Dortmund forward Aubameyang stepped forward, turned and passed the football back.

The target is of course his good friend Zhou Yi.

At the same time, the players from Atletico Madrid also rushed forward and rushed towards Zhou Yi.

This is the tactic they arranged before the game. As the core of Dortmund's midfield, Zhou Yi must of course be taken care of.

Facing the pressing of Atletico Madrid players, Zhou Yi did not panic. He didn't even stop the ball at all and passed the football to the left to Yan Min.

After Yan Min received the football, he made a slight adjustment and passed the football back to the left back Durm.

Durm received the ball and passed it to Sven Bender in the middle.

Sven Bender passed the football to Zhou Yi not far away.

Before Zhou Yi caught the ball, an Atletico Madrid player had already come up from behind, not intending to let Zhou Yi turn around.

But Zhou Yi didn't even think about turning around. He just used his heel to pass the football from Sven Bender to Royce.

Then he turned around and ran forward.

Atletico Madrid showed their method of dealing with Dortmund from the beginning of the game - using the same high pressing tactics as Barcelona, ​​and using a completely tireless pressing to make Dortmund disrupt their position.

But when it surprised them, Dortmund did not panic. Under their pressure, they responded with very quick passes...

Not only Zhou Yi, but other Dortmund players also pass the ball very quickly.

In less than a minute, the football had suddenly circled from the left to the right.

When the football was at Royce's feet, it was finally not passed out immediately - Royce took the ball forward.

At the same time, Atletico Madrid players immediately pressed forward.

But after they pressed forward, Royce passed the football out - he didn't even have to look up to find the target of the pass, he just stepped aside, and Zhou Yi ran up to meet the football.

Because they had passed the midfield, Atletico Madrid players defended Zhou Yi more closely. Beside him, Gabi followed him almost step by step.

Even when Zhou Yi ran to catch the ball, there was physical confrontation between the two, and Gabi kept putting pressure on Zhou Yi.

As long as Zhou Yi stops the football, he can completely lean on it. By then, it will be difficult for Zhou Yi to control the football.

But Zhou Yi did not stop the ball. He once again used his heel to pass the football behind him and gave it to Sven Bender who came in behind.

Sven Bender assigned the ball to Yan Min again.

Yan Min took the ball and made a cross at a 45-degree angle.

Mark in the penalty area jumped up to fight for the top, but he failed to hit the football. The ball was pushed out by Atletico Madrid defender Godin.

Although he didn't hit the ball, Mark's fight for the ball still interfered with Godin. As a result, Godin's ball did not go far, and the football flew outside the penalty area and landed exactly where Aubameyang was. He grabbed the second spot and volleyed!

The football went towards the lower right corner of the goal!

"Courtois——!!" the Spanish commentator shouted in a long voice, "Well done! He made a beautiful save!"

As he shouted, the Belgian goalkeeper flew over and blocked the football from the baseline with one palm!

"Less than two minutes into the game, Dortmund took their first shot of the game, and it was a very threatening shot!" Marcel Leif said. "Dortmund's morale is very high. This performance should give Dortmund fans a little confidence..."

The Dortmund fans in the stands felt regretful that this attack failed to score - who knows if there will be such a good opportunity next time...

※※※

Dortmund's corner kick came out,

Not surprisingly, it did not threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.

Atletico Madrid then moved their attack.

Their offense was also very fierce, but unlike Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid did not use high-altitude bombing tactics this time. Because Barcelona's air defense capability is very weak, but Dortmund is different. Hummels and Papastathopoulos are both tall central defenders with outstanding header ability. They want to penetrate Dortmund from the air. The line of defense is nothing more than a pipe dream.

So they take the ground.

The combination of Diego Costa, Koke and Raul Garcia has a strong impact.

But this time they encountered a stubborn blockage from Dortmund's defense.

Their attack was stopped in front of the Dortmund backline.

When the possession of the ball was transferred to Dortmund, Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack directly in the frontcourt.

Whoever has the ball will grab it. If the Dortmund players control the ball more and pass the ball slower, they are likely to be stuck by the Atletico Madrid players, and then use their physical advantages to steal the football. Even if they can't grab it, they can still interfere with Dortmund's passing and prevent them from launching threatening attacks, so that the game never proceeds according to the rhythm that Dortmund is accustomed to...

This is the "meal" carefully prepared by Simeone for Dortmund.

But Simeone would never have expected that Dortmund also carefully prepared gifts for him as a surprise.

Sven Bender just grabbed the football and quickly passed it out. As soon as he passed the football, Atletico Madrid player Koke came forward. If he had let the football stay at his feet for even half a second, he might not have been able to pass the ball.

It is still a trivial matter if the ball cannot be passed. If the opponent intercepts the ball directly here, not even ten meters away from Dortmund's penalty area, Atletico Madrid can directly counterattack and catch Dortmund by surprise.

It can even be said that Simeone had this idea. When the football is on Atlético Madrid's side, their offense may not necessarily produce results. The main hope is that when the football falls to Dortmund's feet, Atletico Madrid will counterattack on the spot to create murderous opportunities.

Especially against Zhou Yi.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yi is the core midfielder of Dortmund, and he spends far more time with the ball than other players.

As long as we can press around Zhou Yi, we can not only prevent Dortmund's offense from succeeding, but also directly launch a counterattack, threatening Dortmund's goal.

So even if Zhou Yi retreats to the back line to catch the ball, there is an Atletico Madrid player beside him who is always there. The person may change at any time, but the mission remains the same.

If Zhou Yi retreats to the backcourt, the task of marking him will be given to Atletico Madrid's forwards. If Zhou Yi is in the midfield, it will be Atletico Madrid's midfielders who mark him. If Zhou Yi breaks into the 30-meter area of ​​Atletico Madrid, then the defender of Atletico Madrid will stick up, and by then, he will no longer be alone, forming a complete circle surrounding Zhou Yi.

After experiencing last season's failure, Simeone increased his research on Zhouyi. He found that Zhou Yi was very good at observing the surrounding situation when playing football. He could always find an opening that was not easily discovered by others, and then catch the ball and pass the ball.

In view of his characteristics, Simeone feels that the best way is to have people follow him all the time. No matter where he goes, someone will follow him, that is the safest.

So after Sven Bender passed the football to Zhou Yi, Diego Costa almost ran towards the football with Zhou Yi. He did not want to steal the ball directly, but to stick to Zhou Yi.

During the pre-match training, Simeone specifically told the players defending Zhou Yi not to try to steal the ball directly when Zhou Yi received the ball unless the opportunity was particularly good. He would probably use this opportunity to get rid of the ball. Zhou Yi's ability to escape is very strong.

The correct approach is to stick to Zhou Yi, prevent him from passing the ball easily, and then find a way to steal the ball. If one person entangles him and drags him down, and another person comes up to steal the ball, the success rate will be greatly increased.

But Zhou Yi did not give Atletico Madrid players a chance to stick to him.

Facing the football from Sven Bender, Zhou Yi did not stop the ball, but passed the football directly.

When Diego Costa rushed forward, nothing could stop him...

In addition to Zhou Yi, Atletico Madrid also used such tactics against other Dortmund players, but it may not be as intense as against Zhou Yi.

But with these Dortmund players, Atletico Madrid also encountered the same problem - it was difficult for them to entangle the Dortmund players, who could always pass the football out quickly and accurately...
