Chapter 73: Aguero's Responsibilities
Among the entire Atletico Madrid team, the player Wansheng trusts most is undoubtedly Morris.
Regardless of age, experience, experience, technical ability, etc., Morris is at the top of the world football world. What is stronger than many top superstars is experience. Morris once played in the low-level league for a long time and could be said to be unknown before the age of 25.
Having such an experience also gave Morris a mature heart.
Compared to ordinary people, many professional players are immature because they spend most of their time and experience on football since childhood, especially those talented stars, who have been surrounded by the halo of geniuses since childhood. In life, they are not only football but also football. This is also the reason why some young geniuses have alternative personalities. Even players in their 30s and entering the late stages of their careers are still immature.
Morris doesn't have this problem
For Morris, what does losing count? What does pressure count?
When I was playing in Derby County, the team kept losing in the second division of England, so no matter how many goals the team lost, it was difficult to shake Morris' heart.
This is also the reason why Morris has always been able to perform stably.
Others that are trustworthy are several key players, including Felipe Luis, Luis Perea, and Raul Garcia. These players are also quite mature. They are experienced and will not be too affected by their opponents just because they are blown off a penalty and tied the score by their opponents.
Ozil and Aguero are the so-called 'genius stars'.
Ozil is very trustworthy because he was once a member of Wan Sheng's men and trusts Wan Sheng very much.
Aguero?
This Argentine boy may be the one who refuses to admit defeat!
When Isco was knocked down by Ramos, Aguero was the first to shout. After landing in Europe, he has been playing at Atletico Madrid for five years. He is the one who most hopes to win the game among the "old players".
Aguero's performance was not affected, but was more proactive than before.
With so many trustworthy players, Wan Sheng is not worried that the players' mentality will be greatly affected. After all, this is not the "Manchester City Youth Team" that used to be. There are only two young people on the court. Isco doesn't have to serve in this game. The only thing to worry about is Raphael Varane.
Raphael Varane is so young!
Varane is still a month away from turning 18. Players of this age, even talented stars with potential, play in their respective youth teams. Varane has already represented Atletico Madrid in La Liga and has also played in the Copa del Rey.
If Godin hadn't been injured, Wan Sheng would never have let Varane appear.
He is an instability factor.
Di Maria scored a goal just now, and it was directly related to Varane's defense. He did not run correctly, so Di Maria easily ran to the best position. But Wan Sheng would not say Varane, so he could only give him some advice. The same thing is that Varane is too young, and youth also leads to insufficient experience and even more immature mentality.
Such a young player can only praise more than scold him.
Wan Sheng had no reason to really scold Varane. It would be great if a player under 18 years old could perform stably on the court. It would be normal to have a little running mistake occasionally. What else can I say?
After Real Madrid scored the score, Wan Sheng was considering replacing Varane, but he finally gave up.
Varane has a characteristic, that is, it is full of fighting spirit.
On the court, Varane runs the most in the defender lineup, and he still has a lot of help to the team's defense. In addition, there is no suitable player on the bench. If you replace it with another unstable factor, it is better to let Varane stay on the court, at least he has found his form.
It has been 60 minutes since the game was over, but Atletico Madrid still has not made a substitution, which is somewhat surprising.
After the penalty kick was blown away, there were still several players at Atletico Madrid who were not in shape. Everyone thinks that Atletico Madrid should make substitution adjustments, at least one person should be replaced, etc., to remind the team to pay attention.
But Wan Sheng did not make any substitutions, so it was inevitable that the media would consider that "Wan Sheng has been appointed" or "Wan Sheng is satisfied with a away goal."
This is understandable.
I won’t say much about the former, especially the latter. The Copa del Rey is a two-leg match system. The away goal in the first leg is indeed extremely important. Real Madrid equalized the score, but even if the matches held at the Bernabeu Stadium were tied, Real Madrid was actually at a disadvantage.
The media that support Real Madrid hopes that Real Madrid can continue to work hard to overtake the score.
The media supporting Atletico Madrid are a little nervous.
Many of them wanted to run to Wan Sheng and shout, "You can't be satisfied if you score a away goal! If the game continues like this, Real Madrid will quickly score the second goal!"
What the media thought was actually related to the situation of the game. After the game started again, Real Madrid continued to launch a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid goal.
Atletico Madrid still chooses to defend firmly, which is no different from previous games.
Real Madrid's offensive continuity is very strong. They pressed Atletico Madrid to play again. The attack lasted for four minutes. In four minutes, there were two shots. Although there was no goal, it was enough to see Atletico Madrid's passiveness.
No offense can continue, and the football still falls under the feet of Atletico Madrid players.
Raul Garcia did not make a big shot, but made a short pass to the supporter Luis Perea.
Mourinho will not neglect his research on Atletico Madrid. He is very clear about Wansheng's style. In his opinion, Wansheng's team has always been very good at short pass cooperation, and long passes are very few, so he asked the team to oppress Atletico Madrid in the frontcourt. Continuous oppression will cause difficulties in Atletico Madrid's short pass cooperation in the backcourt, and it is difficult to use short passes to send the ball to the frontcourt.
This will allow Atletico Madrid to be suppressed.
Real Madrid did the same in the whole game, and the effect was quite good. It is precisely because of this that they continued to siege the Atletico Madrid goal.
But this oppression cannot be successful all the time.
When the football reached Morris's feet, Atletico Madrid's pass increased significantly. With the speed, the rhythm was there, and the speed also accelerated, which also made Real Madrid unable to press the ball-holding players as soon as possible.
When Isco got the ball, Di Maria was unable to come and press forward as soon as possible. By the time he wanted to do this, Isco had already dribbled the ball and ran forward two steps.
Di Maria still admired the opponent when she saw Isco dribbling the ball alone in the backcourt, because Isco is just a young player and has no fame. In such a big competition, it is already quite amazing to have a chance, let alone almost created a penalty kick opportunity for Atletico Madrid before. Now the opponent is getting the ball in the backcourt and dares to lead the ball forward by himself. This requires a very stable mentality and courage.
But this is also a chance for Di Maria.
As long as he can snatch the ball from Isco's feet, he is likely to directly pose a threat to Atletico Madrid goal.
So Di Maria tried all the tricks to affect Isco, but when he got closer, Isco calmly pushed the ball to Raul Garcia.
Di Maria returns in vain.
He did not give up, but paid attention to Isco's running and wanted to limit Isco's catch point. At this moment, Isco began to run forward, and he formed a clear triangle with Raul Garcia and Reyes on the wing.
In the middle of the triangle, there are two players, Di Maria and Kaka.
Kaka wanted to grab Raul Garcia, and Raul Garcia passed the ball to Reyes. Diaria could not allow Reyes to dribble the ball because he knew that Reyes was very fast and he also relied on his own ability to break the Real Madrid goal, so he could only press Reyes, and then Reyes passed the ball to Isco.
At this time, Isco was unprepared and he calmly led the ball across the center line.
Even Diaria had to admit that their oppression and defense failed, not only the pressing in the frontcourt, but their entire formation was broken by several passes from Atletico Madrid's backcourt, and it took time to retreat and stabilize the formation.
This is the opportunity for Atletico Madrid.
Xavi Alonso made up the defense and rushed towards Isco, but after throwing away Di Maria and Kaka, Isco's front was already very wide, and he calmly passed the ball to Morris.
Morris received the ball.
Real Madrid suddenly became a little nervous. Anyone knew that Morris was the most core player at Atletico Madrid. When the football reached Morris's feet, it might mean that their offense was coming.
Morris must focus on guarding.
When Morris got the ball, two Real Madrid players immediately forced them over.
One before and one after.
In front is Khedira, behind is Xavi Alonso running over. The two midfielders come together to press Morris, which shows Real Madrid's emphasis on Morris' defense.
Even though the two of them came to press, Morris was very calm.
Seeing that it was difficult to shake off the opponent, he directly transferred the ball out, and a slanted inner instep pushed the ball to Ozil's feet.
Passing is not the key yet.
After passing the ball, Morris quickly fucked first and burst out with speed. He ran forward, and Khedira had to turn around, so he rushed over Khedira directly.
Football is back.
Morris stopped the ball and Ramos rushed up.
If you can pass Ramos, Morris will be able to drive the ball through the penalty area line. This is a good opportunity, but Morris still did not choose to drive the ball by himself, but pushed the ball to Ozil again.
Originally, the ball would have been farther away from the goal, but Ozil was pushing the ball straight, which immediately made the situation very tense.
Ozil pushed the ball to the left of the penalty area.
Aguero!
The Argentine star received a pass from a key position, making Real Madrid's defense feel like a big enemy.
Aguero has never lacked defensive players. Carvalho, who came on as a substitute in the second half, followed. He paid great attention to Aguero's defense. When Aguero received the pass, he interfered next to him.
His greatest responsibility is to prevent Aguero from shooting!
When Wan Sheng was on the sidelines and saw Aguero take the ball, he raised the corner of his mouth.
Real Madrid has been paying attention to Aguero's defense, but in fact, they still don't know that Aguero's role in the game is not just a center forward who strives for goals!
