Football: Start with 99 stamina, prevent vomiting Rio

The halftime break was over soon.

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game started again.

This time, Atletico's tactics obviously changed a lot.

The originally contracted formation also became an offensive formation.

Facing the Dortmund team that kicked off, Atletico did not give up the ball easily this time, but rushed forward to press.

However, it was obvious that at halftime, Dortmund's head coach Marco Rose expected Atletico to grab the start at the beginning of the second half, so he also arranged the tactics in advance.

The two defensive midfielders Bellingham and Lin Jie were both very sophisticated in their positions.

They formed two triangles with the left and right full-backs and two central defenders respectively.

Reus also took the initiative to retreat and formed an inverted triangle with two wingbacks.

In the frontcourt, Haaland was left as the fulcrum center forward.

In this way, the three triangles were stuck in Atletico's offensive route.

Facing Atletico's crazy pressing, everyone passed the ball between the triangles very conveniently and smoothly.

Although the tacit understanding between the players was not as high as that of Atletico.

There were also several counterattacks after Atletico successfully intercepted the ball.

However, several counterattacks failed to completely penetrate Dortmund's defense.

In the end, Dortmund still withstood the crazy counterattack of Atletico for a few minutes.

Time gradually came to the 54th minute.

Atletico pressed for nearly 10 minutes in a row.

The players' physical fitness was obviously declining rapidly, and they were all panting.

The time period for the first wave of rushing to start has basically been missed.

Just when Dortmund players wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Jie received special attention from Atletico!

There were 4 Atletico Madrid players coming to double-team him in front, behind, and on both sides!

And the Atletico Madrid team's double-teaming was very appropriate for this ball, just in time for Reus to pass the ball back to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie's attention was attracted by the ball that was passed back.

From behind Lin Jie, Felix flashed forward and tried to squeeze Lin Jie's position, but was firmly blocked by Lin Jie.

Thomas Lemar was also running quickly on Lin Jie's right.

On his left was Suarez who was retreating!

Obviously Suarez's strength was far greater than Lin Jie's, and Lin Jie's center of gravity was unstable after he had a physical confrontation with him.

Fortunately, Reus's passing speed was also quite fast.

It came to Lin Jie in a moment.

Lin Jie also decisively seized the moment before falling to the ground, and rubbed the ball with the tip of his right foot.

The ball turned an arc and flew to the left front of Lin Jie, just avoiding Koke who was rushing from the front.

It landed steadily in front of Bellingham.

Between the wrong in and out, Lin Jie's pass before falling to the ground was a beautiful pass, giving Bellingham the opportunity to advance and counterattack!

Because of this ball, Atletico Madrid invested two midfielders to come and press Lin Jie.

So in the midfield, Atletico Madrid has one less player, leaving Bellingham with a lot more offensive space!

But soon, Griezmann, who appeared next to Bellingham, announced the failure of Dortmund's counterattack.

Obviously, as an active shadow striker who returns to defense, Griezmann chose to return to defense at the first time.

Decisively chose to retreat to the midfield to fill in the position of Koke who rushed forward.

After all, they are old teammates who have cooperated for several seasons, and there is nothing to say about their tacit understanding.

This is also the reason why Dortmund has been unable to attack for a long time in the first half.

The defensive players cooperated well with each other, and the positions were basically well-organized. It was rare for a player to lose position or expose a major offensive gap.

At this time, Lin Jie, who was knocked down by Suarez, stood up from the grass and saw that such a good opportunity was finally intercepted by Atletico.

He secretly thought it was a pity.

However, what he was most concerned about was the previous wave of Atletico's siege against him.

Obviously, he felt a little uneasy.

"Damn this, I can tell at a glance that it was a tactic arranged by Simeone before the game!"

"Fortunately, my passing attribute has been greatly improved after drawing the legendary Beckham."

"Otherwise, if this kick is successfully intercepted by Atletico at this position, it will be very dangerous!"

Lin Jie also secretly paid attention to the positions of several Atletico midfielders.

And the three who were originally hesitating between returning to defense and not returning to defense

Frontcourt players.

To prevent this situation from happening again!

Facing multiple double teams, it is obviously difficult for Lin Jie to pass the ball perfectly now.

Fortunately, in the next game, Lin Jie listened to all directions and watched all directions.

Moreover, more often than not, Lin Jie no longer took the initiative to receive the ball and deliver the shells forward, but handed this job to Bellingham.

After all, compared with Bellingham, Lin Jie is much worse in dribbling.

And Lin Jie also thought that even if Bellingham was pressed down by multiple people, he could still serve as a line of defense for Dortmund behind him and delay Atletico's attack.

Obviously, Lin Jie's approach was quite correct.

In the next 10 minutes, although Atletico's pressing on the players was not so fierce, the occasional two encirclements also successfully intercepted the ball from Bellingham's feet.

Fortunately, at this time, Lin Jie's interception in the back played a crucial role.

It also helped Dortmund to tenaciously maintain a one-goal lead.

Soon the game time came to the 68th minute.

The Atletico Madrid coach on the sidelines was a little anxious when he saw his players unable to attack for a long time.

There was not much time left for Simeone and Atletico Madrid!

He signaled the substitutes on the sidelines to prepare for substitutions.

On the other side, Marco Rose also followed Simeone's steps and signaled his substitutes to prepare for the game.

Soon after a dead ball, both sides replaced their substitutes.

On the Atletico Madrid side, it can be said that Simeone was desperate and rotated four players!

Renan Lodi, Rodrigo De Paul, Thomas Lemar, and Antoine Griezmann were substituted.

Stephen Savic, Saul Niguez, Marcos Llorente, and Geoffrey Kondogbia were substituted.

There were also big changes in the formation.

From the original 433 to 3142 formation.

The three defenders are Felipe, Mario Hermoso and Stefan Savic.

Single defensive midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia

The four midfielders are Kylian Trippier, Koke, Marcos Llorente and Saul Niguez

The two forwards are Joao Felix and Luis Suarez.

Obviously, after changing the formation, Atletico Madrid will strengthen its offense!

As for why Griezmann was taken down and Felix was kept, the main reason is that Griezmann's frequent retreat to make up for the defense consumes a lot of physical energy.

Of course, Simeone will naturally not admit that it is because of what he said in the previous press conference. He still has a little expectation for Felix.

On the Dortmund side, Marco Rose made a more conventional substitution adjustment.

The right forward Julian Brandt was taken down and replaced with defensive player Emre Can.

Bellingham's position was raised a little, and Reus was pushed to the right forward position.

In this way, Dortmund's formation became a 451 formation.

Obviously, he also wants to strengthen control over the midfield!
