Chapter 294 To Adjust or Not to Adjust

"Yan Min crosses the ball! Great opportunity! Aubameyang heads the ball...Courtois! He made a world-class save...Wait, the ball hasn't gone out yet, there is chaos in front of the goal...Eh?! The ball has gone in! The ball has gone in!!!" He Ping shouted excitedly. "In the chaos, I didn't know who took the first kick, and the football flew into Atletico Madrid's goal! Dortmund took a 2:o lead at their home court! This is really great!"

He Ping was worried about retribution for wasting opportunities before, but now he has thrown all these worries out of the window.

When the ball flew into the goal, Klopp and his colleagues once again jumped from the coaching bench and celebrated wildly.

Their strategy worked!

Scored two goals for Atletico Madrid in the first fourteen minutes, which is great!

This is already the best start they could have imagined!

At the same time, next door to them, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone looked even worse.

He conceded one goal in the first three minutes and two goals in the first fourteen minutes... This situation was something he never expected.

He had imagined that his team would concede goals on the road, and possibly even lose on the road, but he definitely did not expect that the situation would be so bad.

The "iron army" I built was so vulnerable at Dortmund's home court!

It seems that the two goals conceded were due to lack of luck, but Simeone does not dare to blame all problems on bad luck now. If he still thinks so, then he will not be able to lead Atletico Madrid to achieve such results.

With a sullen face, he replayed Dortmund's two goals just now, as well as the attacks in which they did not score, in his mind.

It didn't take long and he figured it out before the Dortmund players had even finished celebrating.

In response to their high-position pressing, Dortmund adopted a fast pass and cut tactic, using the fastest passes and movements to make Atletico Madrid's pressing ineffective. Because no matter how much people run, they can never outrun football. As long as Dortmund keeps the football moving, they can fully mobilize Atletico Madrid's defense.

At the same time, Atletico Madrid players continued to press forward, which also resulted in a large number of spaces behind them.

These two goals conceded were actually due to gaps in the defense, which were caught by Dortmund...

He suddenly realized what the "secret weapon" Klopp and Zhou Yi had been talking about before the game...

Isn't this their secret weapon specifically used to deal with Atletico Madrid? !

It's just that this secret weapon is too unexpected. Simeone knows that Dortmund can play this way. It's not the first time he has played against Dortmund. Naturally, he has studied Dortmund and knows that Dortmund has played like this before. Come on tactics.

It's just that he feels that this style of play has high demands on everyone on the team, and it is impossible to display it unless the whole team is in particularly good condition. Judging from Dortmund's embarrassing situation this season, it is impossible for them to risk using this tactic. Otherwise, they are likely to kill themselves before they succeed...

Who would have thought that Klopp actually did this and succeeded!

People say that Klopp is a crazy head coach. Now it seems that he is really well-deserved...

Now that we have figured out the crux of the problem, of course we need to make adjustments.

The opponent's fast passing tactic mainly targets the space after Atletico Madrid presses, so it is easy to contain them. If you don't press, it will be over.

Having already conceded two goals, if we continue to press, we are very likely to lose more goals. If we lose a big score and return to our home court in the second round, this game will not be easy to play...

Simeone is already thinking about the second leg.

Now we must stabilize our defense first, and we cannot continue to concede the ball. Then there are still seventy-five minutes of game time left. As long as you have enough patience,

There is still a chance to score.

This game has reached this point, and Simeone no longer thinks about winning. If there is an away goal and no more goals are conceded, then a score of 1:2 is not unacceptable.

There was an away goal, and the total score was only one goal behind. After returning to their home court, with their strong home court advantage, Atletico Madrid will definitely be able to make a comeback.

The most important thing is that in the second round of the game, Dortmund really has no secrets at all. They have played all their biggest cards. In the next round, Atletico Madrid will definitely make corresponding arrangements. You can't use the same trick twice against the Saint, right?

So as long as they lose by a small margin in the first round, Atletico Madrid can still have the upper hand in the second round.

While the Dortmund players were still celebrating, Simeone stood on the sidelines, called Gabi, and gave him face-to-face instructions.

This move naturally did not escape the eyes of Dortmund coach Klopp.

When he saw this scene, he knew what Simeone would do.

Everyone is not a fool, and they can guess such a simple thing accurately.

Although Simeone understood it within fourteen minutes and made corresponding adjustments.

But Klopp is already satisfied.

After all, in these fourteen minutes, Dortmund scored two goals and led 2:0.

Next, when Atletico Madrid no longer insists on pressing high, Dortmund can also slow down the pace and deal with them slowly.

In fact, Simeone's adjustment can be regarded as a relief to Klopp.

With Dortmund's current personnel status and physical fitness, it is really impossible to stick to this tactic for the entire game, even for most of the game.

Therefore, if Atletico Madrid does not adjust, it is impossible for the team to continue playing like this. After thirty minutes at most, it will have to slow down and change to normal tactics. Otherwise, the team will be exhausted and the team will be exhausted. If it collapses, even if it leads by two goals, it will not be able to hold on.

Although he saw Simeone's adjustment, Klopp did not yell on the sidelines to remind his players to pay attention.

He believed that Zhou Yi would make adjustments accordingly after seeing the changes in the other party. Let Zhou Yi handle this matter.

※※※

When Zhou Yi and his teammates finished celebrating and returned to their own half, the Atletico Madrid players all stood in their positions.

Although they conceded two goals, they received guidance from the head coach immediately, and there was no panic in their hearts. Because they know what to do next. In fact, many times during a game, one player plays poorly and makes repeated mistakes after losing the ball. This is mostly because they don't know what to do next and are unsure of what to do next.

Although they are two goals behind at the moment, there is still a lot of game time, and the head coach has told them what to do next. Defend firmly and then wait for opportunities to counterattack. If you can score a goal, you have completed the task.

After the game restarted, Zhou Yi quickly noticed this change.

Although Atletico Madrid's players are still pressing, the intensity of the pressing is not as strong as before. Their previous press was able to push them all the way to Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

But now at the kick-off, Dortmund passed the football back, and when they kicked the ball at the back line, Atletico Madrid's players didn't even come up.

Logically speaking, in this situation, Dortmund should also slow down and deal with Atletico Madrid slowly.

Anyway, now they are two goals ahead.

But Zhou Yi did not intend to do this.

Slowing down the pace is what Atletico Madrid hopes. If Dortmund also slows down, it will play into Atletico Madrid's hands.

The fast passing and cutting tactics are indeed very energy-consuming, but the game has only started for ten minutes now, and Dortmund's physical fitness is far from exhausted. If they give up the fast passing and cutting tactics at this time, wouldn't they be giving up their advantage? ?

So Zhou Yi decided to stick to his current style of play.

He is not worried about Atletico Madrid's shrinking defense.

Not to mention that Atletico Madrid does not really shrink its defense. Even if it does shrink its defense, it still has the ability to break the defense with fast passing and cutting.

So instead of repeatedly dropping the ball in the backcourt and waiting for Atletico Madrid players to come forward, he directly sent the football to the front.

It's still fast passing and running.

And he kept waving his hands, asking his teammates to press up, especially the two full-backs on the wings, who must press up.

The teammates have great trust in Zhou Yi. Although they have also seen the changes in Atletico Madrid, if Zhou Yi asks them to press, then they will press.

The two full-backs, Piszczek and Durm, obediently pressed forward, and the team still maintained a compact formation, seemingly not worried that Atletico Madrid would take this opportunity to counterattack behind them...
