Coaching career started as a college team coach
Chapter 489
"It's broken!" Simeone's face was livid. He already knew what Wolves wanted to do now.
To put it bluntly, this was a very simple tactical deception. Wolves have been attacking the flanks during this period and have frequently threatened Atletico's goal.
Burgos saw this situation and hesitated, but in the end, forced by the Wolves' continuous offensive, he left the full-backs in the backcourt and handed back the powerful center forward Griezmann to protect the midfield.
There is nothing wrong with this decision itself.
At any time, the weak defense areas should be protected first. Avoiding losing the ball is sometimes more important than scoring a goal. Every head coach understands this truth.
But Burgos overlooked one point, that is, Atletico has never had an advantage in the midfield, and their main offensive method is on the flank. And now his decision is equivalent to actively weakening the unstable midfield, and at the same time "cutting off one arm", "cutting off" the flank attack that could threaten Wolves.
Unknowingly, Atletico's number of ball losses in the midfield has become more and more.
Griezmann is not very adaptable to the position of No. 8.
Although he tried hard to press, all Wolves players could see that the French player was cramped in this position.
"He is very aggressive, you can target this." Rodri ran to the front court and pointed at Griezmann to remind the offensive players.
Griezmann's position is very unstable, Burgos also realized this, but he had to let Griezmann retreat, otherwise Atletico's midfield would have no barrier at all.
Burgos thought well, and there was nothing wrong with countering the moves.
But what Wei Le wanted to say was, who told him that Wolves would only attack from the wing?
The wing attack was a test for Wolves, but it was not the only attack direction.
Although this "test" was very... "real".
Alphonso Davies was completely let go in this game. He rushed all the way on the wing, and it was not uncommon for him to eat Correa alive and then eat Vrsaljko's cross.
Bowen on the right side used his rhythm change to break through the opponent's defense, and his position was often very dangerous, so that when the Wolves had several players who were good at playing set pieces, Atletico players did not dare to kick rashly.
But you have to know that the Wolves' creativity in the middle is not inferior to the breakthrough on the wing!
Now, Van der Beck, who has been silent for a long time, is about to show his strength.
Simeone felt that there might be something wrong with Burgos' adjustment. But now he can only watch from the sidelines and has no way to adjust the deployment on the field.
In a stadium with tens of thousands of people, how could Simeone's voice be conveyed to the playing field?
He could only continue to watch the game and pray that Wei Le's heart was not so bad.
In the 30th minute, the Wolves played the ball from the backcourt.
"Huh?" He Wei was a little confused. He felt that this time the ball would be different from the past. He took a closer look and found the difference, that is, Kounde was no longer a full-back in the traditional sense on the wing, but came to the middle to receive the ball again.
The only center forward, Diego Costa, ran forward to press Kounde, while Griezmann looked around and decided to run over to press Rodri.
At this time, there was only one Gabi left in Atletico's midfield, and Saul was relatively far back. The positions of the two basically formed a diagonal line. The Wolves' players were relatively far back, which also made the two midfielders not very nervous.
So far in the game, Wolves have been taking the initiative, but at the same time they have not scored.
Whether it is Atletico players or Atletico fans, they are no longer sensitive to Wolves' attack under this continuous high pressure, but just think it may be a very ordinary wing attack.
Rudy passed the ball to left back Alphonso Davies, who dribbled forward and passed the ball directly to Goncalves along the wing. Goncalves pushed the ball forward and observed the situation around him.
Atletico's players began to play back in an orderly manner.
Goncalves glanced at the middle and then passed the ball back to Alphonso Davies.
Alphonso Davies started to cut inside.
"Stop it!" Gabi shouted, and then he rushed over to force him to the side.
Saul was also a little nervous. The previous attacks were all made by Alphonso Davies, and he didn't dare to neglect it at all.
What he knew was that Alphonso Davies basically controlled the ball with his left foot, and he was not very good at using his left foot to handle the ball.
Therefore, he was confident in this defense.
But is it really like this?
Alphonso Davies saw Saul and Gabi compressing his space to handle the ball., not panicking at all. He clearly knew one thing, which Wei Le often emphasized in training, that is, there is a certain amount of space in the game.
If there are many people on this side, then it means that there must be a lot of space on the side away from you!
And what Alphonso Davies wants is the space in the middle!
Alphonso Davies looked like he was forced back to the wing. He passed the ball back to Goncalves in the front court and made a hidden gesture. Goncalves understood and cut inside again with the ball.
And Alphonso Davies took advantage of the situation to insert from the wing, looking like he was going to go down the bottom and overlap the side.
Goncalves also faced the bottom line, as if he was going to cooperate with him.
Unexpectedly, when everyone's attention was attracted to this side, the Wolves' frontcourt players had quietly occupied the space at the top of the penalty area!
Although Goncalves couldn't see clearly, he could distinguish the few yellow figures that flashed by!
He knew that now was the best time!
As soon as Saul turned his head, he saw Gonçalves actually shot the ball 40 meters away from the goal!
"Ah?"
But Saul reacted immediately - this was not a goalkeeper, but a straight pass!
The destination of the straight pass was the ribs of Atletico that had been disrupted. There was the area between the full-back Vrsaljko and the central defender, and standing on the penalty area line was Van der Beck!
This straight pass flew forward along the horizon at a very fast speed, showing that it was very powerful!
Saul was powerless, but at this moment he found that the pass did not seem to be very accurate!
The position was relatively inside, where Atletico's central defender Godin was.
In the fight for this ball, Godin had the advantage!
Even if he had a chance to get it, Van der Beck would be in a state of holding the ball with his back to the defender and the goal. Under interference, it was difficult not to make mistakes.
But Van der Beck's operation was far more amazing than Saul thought.
Facing the ball, Van de Beek fell to the ground and tackled!
What did he tackle? !
Of course it was the ball!
The ball gently brushed past Van de Beek's toes and changed direction slightly.
Then it brushed past Godin, and then, under the gaze of all the fans, it came to Jota!
Single-handed! ! !
Jota faced the goalkeeper, and at this moment, there was no impressive picture flashing in his mind. His eyes were only on the football and the goal behind goalkeeper Oblak!
Godin pushed him from the side, and Felipe on the other side was also squeezing him, and he almost lost his balance!
But staggering, he still came to the front of the small penalty area!
Oblak rushed out, and he yelled: "You can't score!"
Jota's response was just to kick the bottom of the ball and gently lift the ball up.
I saw the ball pass Oblak's arm.
And the ball landed at the goal!
When the ball landed inside the goal line, Jota had already rushed to the sidelines!!!
The ball went in!!!!!!!!!
