Chapter 273 Three-way Offensive
Atletico Madrid coaching seat.
Wansheng stood on the sidelines, frowning slightly.
In terms of physical confrontation ability, Atletico Madrid is not afraid of Chelsea. Many players will do confrontational ability training. With the bonus of various attributes of coaching skills, each player's confrontation ability is not bad. He can't gain an advantage when he faces Chelsea head-on.
The opponent's foul is different.
That would directly interrupt the game and also interrupt the team's smooth cooperation.
The opponent's frequent fouls made it difficult to organize the team's offense. Wansheng allowed the players to pass the ball quickly to prevent the opponent from finding opportunities to intercept the ball, but the opponent's defense was not only about pressing, but also about fouls.
A foul will interrupt the referee, and then they can organize the defense calmly.
The referee of this game is Pronka, who is known as the Portuguese Golden Whistle, but the law enforcement standards are very broad. Some referees will also frequently pay cards when they see frequent fouls. Pronka does not pay cards much, and most of them are verbal warnings, and at most they will give players free throws.
Under Pronka's law enforcement, the game was quite beneficial to Chelsea. If you change to a strict referee, Chelsea will be sent off one and two in the past thirty minutes.
Faced with this situation, all Wan Sheng could do is put pressure on the referee.
After seeing the opponent's midfielder Mikel committing a foul, Wan Sheng shouted at the referee, "Bastard! Isn't this a card yet? When will I pay the cards? Do you have to play?"
The referee Pronka glanced at the sidelines and ignored it. The fourth official came over and reminded him, "Pay attention to your words, Mr. Wansheng."
Wan Sheng complained, "Mr. Referee's law enforcement standards are too high, right? Our players have been being violated, and the other party is deliberately fouling!"
The fourth official frowned.
Since the game has been held, anyone can see the problem. Chelsea is using foul tactics, and their playing style is also the fundamental reason why the game makes people drowsy.
So the fourth official explained to the referee Pronka.
Pronka did not respond, but just 4 minutes later, when Mikel fouled again, Pronka took out a yellow card.
This is the first yellow card in the game.
Chelsea were not satisfied because Mikel did not make a foul with too much action. Head coach Di Matteo hurriedly found the fourth official, but in the end the fourth official could only shake his head helplessly.
When the game reaches this point, the referee is the most difficult one.
Be careful about the scale of every penalty, otherwise if the Champions League is in real-life hand-to-hand combat, it will become a laughing stock of world football.
Wan Sheng has had a certain effect on the referee, but the problem has not been fundamentally solved. If you continue, the team will soon fall into trouble again because it is impossible to find the referee every time there is a problem.
Strictly speaking, Chelsea's foul tactics are actually a tactic, which just makes the game ugly, and their players have not made too many moves.
The referee can't give cards every time, he still judges according to his own habits.
The competition cannot be achieved by others, so you can only find a way for yourself.
Most of Chelsea's fouls were chosen in the midfield and frontcourt, and they rarely fouls with them near their own penalty area.
Dimateo is well prepared for the game.
Chelsea's style of playing is to exploit loopholes in football match rules. If it comes to a neutral perspective, Wan Sheng should give a thumbs up.
This is how to maximize the gap in technical strength between the two teams.
Chelsea's playing style is also very targeted for Atletico Madrid. Many teams have used foul tactics before, but the effect is not obvious. Chelsea's coaching staff have analyzed Atletico Madrid very thoroughly and used too targeted.
But now is not the time to praise your opponent.
It is impossible to continue playing at a normal pace. If you want to find an advantage, you must give up some habits.
Wan Sheng thought of it and quickly passed the ball to the front.
Atletico Madrid's "bt-" system tactics, degree and control rhythm are the key, but in many cases, it is not easy to pass the ball to the frontcourt, but it still has to go through a certain "control" process, especially the midfielder's downswinging foot is more.
This is because the prequel is too fast and it is easy to lose the ball.
The situation is different now. Conceding a ball is no longer the focus of the team. First, it is to find the rhythm of the team and really fight the offense. As long as you quickly pass the ball to the front, Chelsea will be cautious when defending, especially in dangerous positions. They dare not make fouls, otherwise Atletico Madrid will threaten their goal with a free kick.
On Atletico Madrid, there are still many excellent players with free kicks, such as Morris, Ozil, and Falcao. Their free kicks are of very good quality and can be completely close to the distance and directly threaten Chelsea goal.
It would be great if Chelsea chose to foul near his penalty area.
Taking advantage of an out-of-bounds ball opportunity, Wan Sheng called Morris to his side and gave him detailed instructions, asking him to tell other teammates about his adjustments.
Wan Sheng’s adjustment is to allow the players to increase forward passes. Don’t consider whether there is any chance, pass the ball forward and then look for opportunities.
If the ball is intercepted, then return to defense soon.
This requires players on the court to be flexible in adapting, especially midfielders. They need to have a big picture and run flexibly. They need to insert when they have the opportunity. When they see that the situation is wrong, they should retreat immediately.
Wan Sheng is quite at ease with the midfield.
In the team's 433 formation, the two wing forwards Ozil and Kevin De Bruyne were both fast, and the three midfielders - Morris, J Rodriguez and Raul Garcia, are all players who are fully qualified for the core of the giants' team. Their overall situation and judgment of the game are very outstanding.
What makes Atletico Madrid better than Chelsea lies in this midfield line.
Chelsea's defense is quite targeted. They never relax their defense against Morris, but generally speaking, Morris is behind the formation, and the one who is in front is J-Rodriguez. He is a full-fighter and a midfielder. He runs a lot and has a lot of attacks.
J-Rodriguez plus Raul Garcia, Chelsea cannot target all players.
That's not targeting, it's a normal defense.
Now Wansheng hopes that his adjustment can play a role. As long as the three midfielders play well, the team temporarily changes the targetedness of the offensive and can also achieve good results.
When Wansheng made adjustments, many people saw that Atletico Madrid's offense continued to accelerate.
It is not the acceleration of details, such as passing, running, etc., which is almost the same as before, but the number of prequels has been increased.
It's like the offense has become easier.
After the offense became simpler, Atletico Madrid's cooperation became much smoother, but Chelsea's defensive targeting was still very obvious.
In the 37th minute, Morris dribbled the ball forward and wanted to go two and one with Raul Garcia, but Karau pulled Morris's jersey.
Morris' jersey was pulled and his body stopped for a while. He must have been unable to get the ball.
The referee blew the whistle and showed a foul.
Kalao paid great attention to the scale. He just pulled the jersey and immediately let go. His movements were not big, and he could not reach the card even if he committed a foul.
The referee Pronka just awarded the ball to Atletico Madrid.
Wan Sheng did not look for the referee anymore, but instead looked at the Chelsea coaching seat. Di Matteo was sitting there, as if he was feeling the gaze of his eyes, and turned his head to look at it.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Dimatio was a little puzzled: What was that Chinese laughing at?
Compared to Wan Sheng, Di Matteo is much more excited to be able to lead the team to the Champions League final.
This is his first time coaching a top league team!
Just before coaching Chelsea, Di Matteo was just Boas' assistant coach. He never thought that one day he would become the head coach of a top team. After taking over the team, Di Matteo knew that this was a rare opportunity. He worked very hard and hoped to try his best to lead the team to achieve good results.
It was really exciting to lead the team to the Champions League final.
It is not easy for Chelsea to enter the Champions League final. At least from the perspective of the opponents in the knockout stage, they are much more difficult than Atletico Madrid. Barcelona in the semi-finals are definitely not a "good opponent". At that time, even the English media were not optimistic that Chelsea could defeat Barcelona, and the focus was on him, the head coach.
The British media lacks trust in Dimatteo at all!
Just like when Wan Sheng first took over Derby County, the British media only questioned Di Matteo. They did not believe in Di Matteo's ability, but Di Matteo brought Chelsea into the Champions League final.
This is equivalent to slapping the British media in the face!
Di Matteo also began to look forward to a fight with Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng is the most successful head coach in the world since the 21st century. Even no, even Mourinho, who won two Champions League titles, is difficult to compare with.
If you lead the team to defeat Atletico Madrid, it will be like you defeated Wan Sheng. Then there will be no media questioning you, right?
They may all praise themselves!
Whenever he thinks of this, Di Matteo is very excited, and the current game has greatly increased his confidence. Although most media are optimistic about Atletico Madrid, the tactics he formulated with the coaching staff have been successful.
The game scene was not good, but Chelsea successfully defended. If it continued, perhaps the one with the advantage was Chelsea!
Dimatio's confidence multiplied!
If Wan Sheng saw it, Di Matteo would be a little naive.
Chelsea's targeted defense is indeed very effective, but this does not mean that they have succeeded.
Atletico Madrid is no longer a team that relies on core, especially in this game, each of the three midfielders has the ability to become core. As long as one is not defended, the team can organize an offense.
When he saw Morris being targeted specifically, Wan Sheng had already given instructions, asking the team to look for opportunities from two sides, which meant to spread the offensive firepower points. J-Rodriguez and Raul Garcia could provide strong support to the side, but Chelsea could not limit the side, and their defense could not cover that much.
Soon Dimatio found something wrong.
Unlike the first game, Atletico Madrid started offensives in the three routes, and the offensive on the side was not worse than the middle route at all, especially Raul Garcia and J Rodriguez. They cooperated with their teammates very tacitly and frequently attacked the team's defense line. Perhaps more importantly, in front of J Rodriguez and Raul Garcia, there were two players Ozil and Kevin De Bruyne. Ozil's performance was not too gorgeous, but his pass was still very accurate and occasionally breakthroughs were also very threatening. Kevin De Bruyne passed the ball completely with one kick. He didn't need too many opportunities. As long as he could get the ball on the side, Chelsea would wait for the threat from the middle route at the next moment.
Ozil and Kevin De Bruyne are not easy to defend, and J Rodriguez and Raul Garcia are unable to defend. Their position is too low, so the team cannot invest so much defensive energy in the midfield.
Di Matteo originally thought that as long as Morris' point was blocked, Atletico Madrid's offensive could be directly restricted, but he did not expect Atletico Madrid's wing could be so strong.
Ozil, Kevin De Bruyne, J Rodriguez, Raul Garcia... Among the four players, Ozil and Raul Garcia have already proved themselves, Kevin De Bruyne and J Rodriguez are new players. Even J Rodriguez is actually fine. He is also a prominent star at Atletico Madrid, but Kevin De Bruyne?
This Belgian star is indeed the main force of Atletico Madrid, but his performance is not so outstanding.
Why did it become so difficult to play against Chelsea?
If Wan Sheng knew Di Matteo’s thoughts, he would definitely laugh. Di Matteo was simply too naive. Atletico Madrid’s skills achieved their current results, it would never be possible to rely on one or two players. Kevin De Bruyne was not very outstanding, just because other teammates were too outstanding.
For example, Falcao and J Rodriguez are all players who perform very well and can score goals. In contrast, Kevin De Bruyne is naturally not outstanding, but he is definitely not performing poorly, otherwise he will not be able to hold the main position.
In fact, Kevin De Bruyne is the most stable player in the team like Morris, Ozil and others, because his long passes are quite excellent.
Many Spanish media have described Kevin De Bruyne as "Atletico's Beckham".
This is not just praise, but facts.
Many young players are known as "Second Star No. 2", but Kevin De Bruyne is worthy of his name. As long as he continues to show off, Wan Sheng believes that he will be even better than Beckham in the future.
Of course, it's just on the field.
Not every football player can have a charming smile like David Beckham, while also tapping his own business potential so deeply. (To be continued.)
