It was in the 7th minute, and Diego Costa dribbled the ball from the wing.

Alves came over to fight, and the two collided together while running, both fell directly to the ground, and then stood up and had an altercation.

The referee verbally warned the two.

Everyone thinks this is just a small episode of the game. After all, it is normal for the players to have a little conflict on the field between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. But in the 16th minute, Diego Costa dribbled the ball and was knocked to the ground by Puyol, which became the inspiration point of contradiction.

Diego Costa is injured!

He lay on the grass for more than a minute, and the game was suspended. After that, the referee signaled the team doctor to enter the court and carried Diego Costa down. The game immediately became even more tense.

Wan Sheng is very worried about Diego Costa's injury. Diego Costa is the team's number one scorer in the league. He and Falcao are the most important players on the front line. Diego Costa's injury is still very impactful to the team.

Wan Sheng was also worried about the game, and the players on the field couldn't control their emotions.

In the following game, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides increased significantly, and physical conflicts often occurred. Calderon Stadium became the hand-to-hand battlefield between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

The players of both sides continued to collide with physical collisions, various small movements were common, and the conflict became more and more serious. Until a serious conflict: Juan Fran and Iniesta had an quarrel, the players of both teams surrounded him, and the referee ran over and separated the two, directly showed two yellow cards, each playing twenty boards. Only then did the players of the two teams realize that the game would not be beneficial to either side if this continued.

Wan Sheng and Guardiola were on the sidelines and kept shouting to let the players control their emotions, and the situation improved slightly later.

In the whole first half, neither team scored no goals.

"What we saw was a wrestling match with 22 people, not a professional football match." Spanish National Sports Television Fernandos Bob said jokingly, "It's hard to imagine that this is a match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. We are going to see a century-long battle, but we saw such a mindless confrontation!"

"The players on both sides couldn't control their emotions. Diego Costa was injured, which aroused the anger of Atletico Madrid players. Some Barcelona players' defenses are indeed a bit unclear. I want me to say that Alves should have been sent off a long time ago, but in terms of physical confrontation, Barcelona seems to be at a loss..."

This is something everyone can see.

You can know something from the foul data. In the 45 minutes of the first half, Barcelona fouled 13 times and got 2 yellow cards. Atletico Madrid only 7 times, which were direct fouls. This indirectly shows that "Barcelona players have poor ability to fight". They are at a disadvantage in the face of confrontation, so they will use various small moves. At the same time, it also means that "Barcelona players have darker hands". This is understandable. After all, many Atletico Madrid players are very young and have not experienced much in professional leagues, so it is a bit difficult for them to go to "old tao" fouls.

Although Barcelona players have more 'foul experience', they do not have an advantage in physical confrontation with Atletico Madrid players. Many times, if they want to defend directly, they have to use fouls to complete it.

This is their passive aspect.

The players of the two teams adjusted their emotions after halftime, and in the second half, the game finally returned to some normalcy.

Wan Sheng seriously reminded everyone to 'not be led by the opponent', "We will definitely win the normal game! Don't worry about Diego, that's after the game! What you need is to go to the game seriously and don't think about anything else!"

"Always remember that this is a football game! Professional football game! There are tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of fans watching you!"

These words are still very effective for players.

In the second half, the team's performance improved a lot, and the same was true for Barcelona opposite. The two sides gradually started a technical confrontation and the game became exciting.

But Barcelona was the first to score the goal.

In the 61st minute of the game, Messi helped Barcelona score the first goal.

This is a personal breakthrough for Messi.

After receiving the pass in front of the penalty area, Messi directly chose to make a breakthrough and drifted past j-Rodriguez and Thiago Silva to score the ball.

Barcelona media and fans were very excited, and in the 61st minute, they took the lead.

This means that they have a good chance to win!

Barcelona fans began to cheer, shouting to the fullest, although they were small, they had to vomit out all the anger they had suffered from Atletico Madrid.

After Messi finished the goal, the TV camera pointed to Wan Sheng.

Wansheng's face is not good-looking.

The two teams were very nervous. Wan Sheng didn't expect to play like this. It would be fine if the game was not good. Diego Costa was injured and carried off the court. The specific injury is unknown, and the team fell one goal behind in the second half.

Is the team's unbeaten record going to end here?

Wansheng was a little unwilling to accept it.

Since he came to Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2010, he has not failed in the league he has led to play.

Is the first game going to go through now?

Wan Sheng felt a little sighed.

Although he said he didn't care about the record, as the team's head coach, how could he really not care about it? Even if he knew that no team could be unbeaten, he hoped to break the 64-round unbeaten record he had set at Manchester City.

If you lose in this round, the previous efforts will be wasted.

There is definitely no problem with the game against Barcelona. The team's 'bt-f' system is definitely not weaker than Barcelona's ball-control style. They also have an advantage in the game at home. The only disadvantage is youth and experience. But overall, the team has advantages, but professional football is not a theory. Theoretically, the team can win, which does not mean that they can win every game when they really get into the game. Otherwise, there is no need to play games at all, just work together to do theories.

There is no way for Barcelona to score goals. A top star like Messi can't defend himself from finding a good state. He can only try to limit it, rather than completely block it.

So what should I do now?

Wan Sheng thought and looked at the field, he thought of Diego Costa. What makes Diego Costa better than Falcao lies in his playing skills. In fact, in terms of their strength level, Falcao's personal ability is better, but Diego Costa is more stable in front of the goal, so he scored more goals in the league, and Falcao often can score very exciting goals.

The comparison of the two's technical abilities is a bit like Messi and C-Ronaldo.

Messi and C-Ronaldo are both top stars, but their performance is actually different. Messi is more efficient, so he scores more goals, while C-Ronaldo's goals are often more exciting and his performance on the court is more eye-catching.

Wan Sheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration - perhaps, we can also exert personal heroism!

The team pays too much attention to the overall situation!

The kind of focus on or even ignores the players' personal performance, most of the team's goals rely on the cooperation of the entire team, rather than the players' personal performance.

But in fact, the team's stars are not much worse than Barcelona, ​​especially the top players on the court, such as Falcao. His personal abilities are quite outstanding. With various coaching skills bonuses, he is definitely not much worse than Messi on the court.

When playing on weekdays, since the team pays more attention to overall cooperation, players have few opportunities for personal performance. As the center of the 433 formation, it plays more tactical roles than real firepower points.

The Champions League match was very referenced. In the match against Basel, the team did not use the 433 formation. As a striker, Falcao had a very flexible position and had more room to play, so he scored four goals individually.

Of course, a large part of the reason is Falcao's personal status, but this also shows that Falcao has excellent ability to perform.

Not only Falcao, J-Rodriguez is also very good in his personal ability. He is no worse than Falcao. The only thing that is worse may be experience.

After coming to Atletico Madrid, J-Rodriguez was focused on training. As the core of the team, he must consider the offensive and overall considerations of the team, and also take into account a large part of the defensive work. The position limits his personal performance.

What would happen if J-Rodriguez's point was let go?

So taking advantage of a chance to die, Wan Sheng chose to substitute. He replaced Mario Suarez and chose to replace Isco, and told Isco to be the core of the frontcourt.

Then Wan Sheng called J-Rodriguez to his side and gave him face-to-face advice.

Wan Sheng's adjustment is very simple, which is to let Isco play the core, let J-Rodriguez go ahead and attack Barcelona's defense with Falcao.

When J-Rodriguez stepped forward, Falcao's tactical center job was less obvious. He could play freely, and J-Rodriguez could play freely.

The team's formation has changed from 433 to 442, and the two forwards are Falcao and J-Rodriguez.

This is a gambling adjustment.

Wan Sheng also hopes to see how far Falcao and J-Rodriguez can perform with constant fire support.

Atletico Madrid's rapid formation change caught Barcelona off guard. They didn't understand why Atletico Madrid could complete the formation change in the competition.

This is also the advantage of Atletico Madrid's tactics.

The ‘bt-f’ tactical system is a system of football, and there is no fixed formation. During daily training, every player must adapt to various formations. It sounds very complicated, but in fact, as long as you are familiar with the tactical system, there is not much difference between each formation. The most important thing is to adapt to running. In the continuous running, the team formation is constantly changing, and coupled with the blurred sense of player position, it is very easy for the team to complete the formation change.

When J-Rodriguez runs in front, players in other positions will automatically move backwards. Atletico Madrid's formation becomes 442, from three forwards to two forwards.

The team's overall running and coordination concept has not changed. Double forwards will get more passes than three forwards. Two forwards Falcao and J-Rodriguez have received support from the whole team, passing the ball to them, running the ball, and attracting the opponent's defensive attention. This style of play makes it difficult for other players to get opportunities, but the two forward players have too many opportunities.

This is the first time that it is Falcao or J-Rodriguez has received this kind of treatment.

Especially J-Rodriguez, he felt even deeper. He used to organize the offense. He helped his teammates attract defense. He also had to take into account the team's defense to prevent the opponent from counterattacking quickly. It can be said that he had done all the "dirty and tiring work" on the court, and he could only watch his teammates complete goals one by one.

Now, everything has changed.

He doesn't need to think about anything else, just wait for the opportunity ahead.

Any frontcourt player will like this way of playing football, and the same is true for j-Rodriguez. He really hopes that he can perform well. At the same time, he also has more pressure because the team's heavy responsibility of scoring goals is pressed on his shoulders, but j-Rodriguez still enjoys this feeling. He knows this is a rare opportunity and he can show himself in front of fans.

The opponent in front of him is Barcelona.

They may have been paying attention to Diego Costa at the beginning, but now they are paying attention to Falcao.

He just wants to remind them with his performance that the most important thing to pay attention to is not others, but him, Colombia star, James Rodriguez!

In the next game, J-Rodriguez and Falcao had many opportunities, but Barcelona's defense was obviously more targeted at Falcao. J-Rodriguez got more opportunities, and Atletico Madrid players also kept passing the ball to J-Rodriguez.

In front of J-Rodriguez, Puyol truly felt that he was old. No matter whether the other party uses his body or technology, he had no way to do it.

He was directly broken through twice in a row.

That fast breakthrough made him feel powerless. If he was two years younger, he could still try his best to keep up, but now he couldn't run at all, and even his judgment was delayed, and his movements could not keep up with the other party's rhythm.

Puyol knew that he could not defend himself from this Colombian, but fortunately the team was still ahead. As long as he persisted for another 10 minutes, the victory would belong to the team.

But Barcelona, ​​in a very good situation, had a dangerous situation in the 87th minute.

When Isco was getting the ball in the middle circle, he met Xavi, who was pressing in the past. Facing the senior figure, no one expected that Isco's newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, so he dared to drive the ball by himself. He turned around and blocked Xavi behind him with a move of turning around. Just when everyone thought that he was about to pass the ball, he suddenly started and used his speed to leave Xavi behind.

"Isco breaks through Harvey!"

Calderon Stadium broadcast Juan Andres shouted, and with his shouting, Barcelona had to make up for defense. This time Isco did not go any further. He chose to pass the ball to Kevin De Bruyne next to him. Then he ran to a new position and received a pass from Kevin De Bruyne.

After the cooperation of the two, Isco had already brought the ball to a dangerous position.

At the same time, the rest of Atletico Madrid players were running, constantly interfering with Barcelona's defense. Despite this, Barcelona still divided most of their energy to guard Falcao and J-Rodriguez, the two of whom were the most threatening.

Among Falcao and J-Rodriguez, they think Falcao is more threatening, because Falcao is the second-largest player in Atletico Madrid and the most goals in the Champions League. His goals in the Champions League even chasing Messi, and he needs to focus on defense. In comparison, as a Colombian star, J-Rodriguez is still a little worse, and he often plays in the midfield position.
