I brush achievements in football

Simeone led the team to Southampton.

In the league, Atletico Madrid's pressure is not small, but they will not give up the Champions League.

After all, no team will give up the financial income in the Champions Cup.

One more step forward, especially at this time, often means a gain of 3000 to [-] million euros.

No club would be indifferent to such a large sum of money.

It sounds cheesy to say it, but that's the nature of commercial football.

Simeone has been in charge of Atletico Madrid for four years. In these four years, he has built a steel defense and won a La Liga title-winning a La Liga title surrounded by Real Madrid and Barcelona is not a big deal. easy thing.

And their performance in the Champions League was not bad, but they were eliminated by Southampton the last time they were close to the Champions League final.

This time they met Southampton again.

St. Mary's Stadium, they are no strangers.

So, on the day of the game, the Atletico Madrid players who played listened to the boos of the Southampton fans in the stands, and they remained unmoved.

"Players from both sides have already played! Southampton's starting lineup is still their main lineup, but with some fine-tuning. Goalkeeper Gulacci, defender Cancelo, Van Dijk, Bailly and Alonso, Bailey replaced captain Fonte's Position, but this is also normal, Bailey has gradually risen this season...Midfielder Kanter, Coutinho and De Bruyne, Coutinho's long-range shot is a weapon that breaks dense defenses, it is clear that discipline Shi is a little afraid of Atletico Madrid's strong defense. The striker is still their trident, Mane, Vardy and Lukaku! Du Yue and Dembele are both sitting on the bench, and Atletico Madrid sent a four-three-three Lineup, goalkeeper Oblak, the Slovenian goalkeeper performed quite well and filled Courtois' position very well! The two full-backs are Juanfran and Felipe, and the central defenders Godin and Hernan Des partnered, Koke, Gabi and Saul formed the midfield, the forwards were Carrasco and Griezmann, and the center Torres! This lineup is also the main lineup of Atletico Madrid!"

Amid the chanting of the commentator, players from both sides came out, and Kiya shook hands with Simeone.

"Atletico Madrid's defense is getting stronger and stronger now." Ji Ya said first.

"Southampton's offense is getting sharper." Simeone replied with a smile.

"I know that you must play defensive counterattacks, but we still have to attack. It depends on how many goals you can score by counterattacking under our pressure." Ji Ya said.

Simeone nodded. Both sides are basically clear cards, and it is impossible to have any other thoughts at this time.

After all, compared with Southampton, Atletico Madrid's offense is indeed much worse, not only the striker, but also the midfielder's organization and breakthrough ability.

However, their defense is indeed quite strong!

This is a battle of contradictions.

Whether it is a sharp spear or a strong shield depends on the result of the game.

Of course, the main thing is to look at the results of the two rounds, one game can't prove anything.

Players from both sides began to spread out on the field. Today's weather is good, and it is a good day for the game. The St. Mary's Stadium has always had a good lawn. At the same time, the field is quite standard, not too big, not too small.

After all, the size of the stadium is sometimes related to the characteristics of the team. Taking La Liga as an example, Barcelona’s Camp Nou has the largest lawn. Because of Barcelona’s offensive tactics, they need more space to open up their opponents. The smallest is Mallorca's St. Moise Stadium, because since Cooper coached in the last century, Mallorca's tactics have been extremely conservative. Under such circumstances, the small field naturally allows them to defend Get even better.

Although the size of the site is standard, it is flexible within the standard, and it is normal to have such a difference.

St Mary's is pretty standard.

Southampton's technical offense, on such a lawn, actually won't take much advantage, but it won't suffer much either.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Southampton immediately launched an attack.

The tactics arranged by Ji Ya are very simple, attack from the beginning of the game, constantly apply pressure, and look for opportunities.

What he has always believed is that no matter how strong the defense is, there will eventually be some problems under constant pressure.

The line of defense is made up of people. It is impossible for humans to make mistakes like machines. When people are tired and constantly suppressed, problems will always occur.

This is why Ji Ya feels that for a team, it is better to raise the offense to the limit than to raise the defense to the limit.

Because offense can be fault-tolerant, defense cannot be fault-tolerant.

Of course, offensive improvement is much more difficult than defensive improvement. Offensive improvement requires talent, inspiration and overall excellent cooperation, while defensive improvement pays more attention to discipline, will and concentration.

Of course the latter is easier to replicate and improve.

Southampton quickly created a threat. Mane broke through the middle after receiving a pass from Coutinho, and then passed it to Lukaku who advanced on the right. Lukaku took a step laterally and kicked decisively A long-range shot, the ball was lifted by Oblak, and Godin immediately cleared with a big foot.

Soon they launched a second attack, Alonso crossed directly from the side, Vardy feinted in the middle, Lukaku volleyed the goal without stopping the ball, but the ball hit the side net heavily.

As soon as he came up, Southampton came up with two threatening shots. Atletico Madrid also quickly launched a counterattack. Carrasco made a forced breakthrough from the side and passed it to Torres. Torres took the ball with his back and passed it to Grie Griezmann and Griezmann took a long shot directly, and Gulac, who was in a good position, threw the ball steadily under him.

The Southampton fans in the stands booed. In their view, Atletico Madrid's attack was like a mantis...

"They counterattacked very quickly. Although they didn't have a fast forward or a particularly powerful center forward, the counterattack was really smooth. It's a bit like Inter Milan in the 09-10 season." Benelli couldn't help but say something.

Ji Ya nodded. Benelli's evaluation is still very accurate. Atletico Madrid does not have top-level attackers, but their cooperation with each other is quite excellent. Compared with Inter Milan at that time, it is nothing more than Torres' state. The fiery Milito was strong at the time, but Carrasco's speed and technique could barely replace Eto'o's role. Overall, Griezmann was still better than Pandev.

Compared with Inter Milan's Trident back then, their lineup is indeed not too bad. The midfielder is even a bit better, and the defense is not weak. It's just that there is no wing engine like Maicon.

But times are advancing, especially in recent years.

Even if the Inter Milan team at that time is pulled to the present, there may not be a chance to win the Triple Crown.
