Diego Costa is controlling the ball outside the penalty area.

As the team's center, he did not run into the penalty area, but pulled out the position and received a pass outside the penalty area.

This is also the "rotating" running position that Wansheng has always requested.

Under the "bt-f" tactical system, the positions of the players in the team are actually very vague. The defender players can insert into the penalty area to assist, and the forward players can also retreat to the backcourt to defend. Even in normal advancement, when the midfielder players insert forward, the forwards will automatically retreat a little, so that the overall formation of the team will be more dispersed, and there will be more space and opportunities.

Diego Costa stood outside the penalty area to control the ball, and the opponent's central defender Maduro had to follow him out and stared at the ball at Costa's feet to prevent Costa from suddenly accelerating and breaking through.

Costa did not choose to break through by himself, nor did he directly shoot, but stuffed the ball from Valencia's back line. At the same time, Kevin De Bruyne on the other side stepped forward and appeared behind Valencia's back line, and then...

Received the ball!

"Kevin De Bruyne! There is no offside!" Juan Andres shouted hard on the Calderon Stadium broadcast.

The Valencia fans in the stands were all raised.

When facing such an opportunity, Kevin De Bruyne will not be weak. He has made more than once forwards this season to help Atletico Madrid score goals.

Although he is not a striker, everyone has to train for shooting at Atletico Madrid. Kevin De Bruyne is not the best shot in the entire team, but compared with others, he is also at the forefront. Now facing Diego Alves who is attacking, De Bruyne is surprisingly calm.

He glanced at the goal and made a judgment instantly.

He chose the near corner!

Generally, most of the shots in this kind of ball will choose far corners. KDiego Alves is experienced and his save blocking range is more than far corners. At this time, he chooses to push the shot in the far corner, so he will not have a chance to score.

De Bruyne calmly pushed and shot with his right foot inward, and the football took a small arc and passed by Diego Alves who was attacking.

No matter how fast Alves reacted, he would never react to such a close shot.

Alves could only pray that the football would be cut out of the goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, God did not stand behind him, and the football hit the post in the near corner and then bounced directly into the goal.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!”

"Kevin! Kevin!" Juan Andrees shouted excitedly, "Kevin! Kevin De Bruyne, the Belgian star received a pass from Costa and sent the ball into the goal accurately! 1-0, the home team Atletico Madrid took the lead!"

"This is a wonderful cooperation and a wonderful shot! Atletico Madrid led Valencia in the game!"

"Before the game started, Valencia Chairman Lorent also claimed that the team would definitely win at Calderon Stadium, but I don't know what he would think now..." Following Juan Andres' words, the camera also pointed to the rostrum, and Valencia Chairman Lorent was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking.

The Valencia fans present were very disappointed. Lorent has a great reputation in Valencia and they still trust Lorent. Before the game, Lorent said that Valencia would win the game, and they also hope that Valencia can really defeat Atletico Madrid.

They originally thought that the game would at least be a fierce battle of fighting each other, just like the previous game with Barcelona, ​​but the game was not like this. At the Calderon Stadium, Atletico Madrid suppressed Valencia. Valencia also attacked a lot, but did not make any threats. Atletico Madrid frequently made wonderful attacks.

Now... the goal has been completed!

Valencia fans were stunned. They didn't expect the game to be like this at all. Many people regretted it... If they had known this, they wouldn't have come to the game.

After completing the goal, Kevin De Bruyne opened his arms and ran back excitedly. After coming to the sidelines, he jumped up suddenly, waved his arms down hard, signaled to the fans in the audience, and then stood up straight, looked into the sky, and raised his hands.

It seemed like a general who had just won the victory.

The other teammates rushed over and hugged him from behind. De Bruyne's image soon disappeared. He was pushed to the ground by his teammates and then pressed him up one by one. When he stood up again, his hair was covered with grass chips. When he looked embarrassed, he could only look at his teammates with grievance.

But after celebrating, when his teammates saw De Bruyne's appearance, they all covered their mouths and left.

De Bruyne grabbed his hair and strengthened his determination to take revenge in the future.

While Atletico Madrid celebrated on the field, Wan Sheng also stood up from his seat. He and others applauded the goal, but he was not as excited as others imagined.

The goal was excellent, and the offense before the goal was also very exciting, but the goal was expected by the win.

Atletico Madrid has continuously threatened Valencia's goal, and Valencia has no way to deal with it. Just like other teams are feeling that Atletico Madrid's offensive, they cannot keep up with Atletico Madrid's passing and running speed.

When their defensive focus is on the left, Atletico Madrid can easily pass quickly and focus the offense on the right.

vice versa.

As Atletico Madrid's continuous passes, Valencia players also become numb when defending. They lowered their vigilance and were caught by Atletico Madrid and scored the ball in the space.

In fact, before Diego Costa got the ball, Atletico Madrid had already made more than a dozen passes. The fast, smooth and precise pass coordination made Valencia unable to defend at all.

This goal seems natural.

So Wan Sheng thought there was nothing to celebrate with scoring goals, and it was natural to be able to score goals, and it was a bit surprising that they could not score goals.

Atletico Madrid scored a goal after only 18 minutes of the game.

The one who felt the most helpless about the game was Valencia head coach Emery. He stood on the sidelines and frowned tightly. In the past twenty minutes of the game, he saw that Valencia's tactics were completely restrained and the players could not play on the court. Atletico Madrid's exquisite cooperation also made it difficult for the team to defend closely.

That kind of offense... unless all the players are transferred back to defend, it is almost impossible to defend the goal!

This involves a question: Should Valencia still attack?

In fact, when Valencia fell behind the score, they had no choice. If they wanted to win the game as the club chairman Lorente said, Valencia had to attack.

But Valencia is actually not good at offense, and defensive counterattack is the team's tradition.

Just at Calderon Stadium, he played against Atletico Madrid, which has the best offensive ability in La Liga. No matter how Emery thinks, he feels that his team is flying into the flames.

But are there any choices?

Emery turned his head and glanced at the rostrum. Lorent was sitting there, but the distance was too far to see Lorent's expression.

Now he doesn't know what to do.

In world football, Emery is actually a young coach in the top stadium and is only 41 years old this year. He comes from a goalkeeper family. His grandfather and father are both goalkeepers, but his own career performance is not outstanding and he has been playing in the low-group league for a long time.

7 years ago, Emery decided to retire and become a football coach.

In just 4 years, Emery has been considered the most promising coach in Spain. Now, at the age of 36, he successfully led Almeria to La Liga for the first time and made an amazing performance in the 2007-2008 season. The media predicted that Almeria would be the 20th relegation element. As a result, by April, the club had basically succeeded in relegation and finally completed the entire season in the 8th place.

Almeria's success in participating in La Liga for the first time is inseparable from Emery's ability.

After that, the turbulent Valencia invited Emery to coach. In the past three seasons, Emery has led Valencia to qualify for the Champions League, and the team's results are still quite stable.

Valencia's performance remained stable this season, with no major ups and downs in the league, and still ranked fourth in the league. The King's Cup also reached the semi-finals and competed with Barcelona. The only regret is that the Champions League group was eliminated, and Valencia could only participate in the Europa League as the third in the group.

But no matter what, Emery's ability to lead the team is worthy of recognition.

The outside world's affirmation has a great influence on Emery. He has always been very confident in his coaching ability, but now Emery suddenly began to doubt: Can his team-leading ability be really outstanding?

Look at the current game, I have no choice!

Atletico Madrid on the opposite side was so outstanding, with a very exquisite offense and a very tenacious defense. Valencia was completely opposite, with loopholes in defense and no chance of attack.

Now Valencia is one goal behind, how can she play the game?

Emery didn't know.

The only thing he knows is that if he wants to win, he must play against Atletico Madrid like a "moth to the flame".

Atletico Madrid scored a suppression at the beginning and scored a goal leading the score, which was somewhat surprising.

Before the game, Lorente's words gave Valencia a lot of confidence. They believed that Valencia's chances of winning in this game were greater, but the game seemed to be no different from the first half schedule.

Many Valencian media were surprised.

Perhaps the lead is a small problem. It is no big deal to be scored in a professional football match. The key is that Atletico Madrid plays smoothly. Their continuous and exquisite cooperation allows everyone to see their strength and state, and also allows the media to see a very outstanding Atletico Madrid team.

Since Atletico Madrid performed very well and played at Calderon Stadium, why can Valencia win?

Some Valencian media have raised doubts.

The Valencia players on the court also became suspicious, while some were thinking about the goal just now.

Goalkeeper Diego Alves was thinking about scoring the goal.

Diego Alves' youth training career was completed in Brazil's Botaforgo and Atletico Minero. In 2004, Diego Alves was promoted to Atletico Minero first team.

On July 24, 2007, Diego Alves transferred to join La Liga's newly promoted Almeria.

He was only a reserve player at the start of the team, but was undisputedly the main player of the team during the season, and his outstanding performance helped the team finish eighth in its first La Liga season in history.

Last March, Diego Alves saved his opponent's penalty in the league between Almeria and Santander Athletic Club, the 17th penalty he encountered in the La Liga, with only five penaltys and 12 penalty losses, thus setting a new La Liga record.

Almeria was relegated from La Liga after the 2011 season, and Diego Alves chose to transfer to Valencia to follow former coach Emery.

Although he has just joined Valencia, Diego Alves undoubtedly occupies the main position. With his outstanding performance, he also left all his competitors and teammates speechless.

After Kevin De Bruyne scored, Diego Alves kept thinking about the ball. He didn't understand how the originally stable defense line had such a gap.

Standing in front of the goal, he was able to observe the situation carefully. Football was always passed outside the penalty area, and he always felt that the goal was safe. Although it was difficult for teammates to catch up with the ball, the stable position effectively protected the goal.

Codigo Alves never expected that football suddenly appeared in front of him!

Whose mistake was this?

Diego Alves thought about it for a long time and felt that it was a mistake from central defender Rami and full-back Bruno. They did not effectively defend the right penalty area and easily allowed the opponent's wing forward to enter the penalty area. However, Alves is not familiar with many teammates, and it is difficult for him to complain about his teammates.

Valencia central defender Maduro is also reflecting.

He was just defending Diego Costa. He only paid attention to Diego Costa not breaking through, but he didn't expect the opponent to pass the ball.

That surprised him very much.

Diego Costa is also one of the most efficient players in Atletico Madrid's goal scorer. Normally, a player like this should find an opportunity to shoot at the penalty area, rather than handing the ball over to his teammates.

Is this the tactical style of Atletico Madrid?

Maduro is a little confused.
