Star Coach

Jiangshan was a little disappointed with Barcelona's performance, which was not as good as expected.

Of course, he also knows clearly that this Barcelona is completely different from Guardiola's Barcelona. For a lifetime, it was said that Guardiola stood on Rijkaard's shoulders. In fact, this is not the case. Without Guardiola, Barcelona would not even be qualified to compete for the championship.

The game is still going on, Atletico Madrid already leads 2:1 in the away game, and the situation is favorable.

Rijkaard looked ugly and kept giving instructions from the sidelines, asking the team to continue pressing forward and constantly rubbing against Atletico Madrid's defense.

However, after Atletico Madrid players tightened their defense, they finally showed the essence of the full-court press. Everyone was moving and assisting in defense. Barcelona's offense did not pose much threat, and they would be strangled almost as soon as they reached the front of the penalty area.

The combination of Khedira and Garcia is becoming more and more leadership and has become stronger. Atletico Madrid's entire offense became three-dimensional.

Jiang Shan was overjoyed, "It turns out that full-court press and full-court counter-attacking requires training like this. I was too idealistic before."

In the previous training, Jiangshan directly practiced full-court counter-attacking. Although the appearance appeared, the effect was average. After the contraction in today's game, the defensive surface narrowed and each player began to find his position.

The counter-pressing was on track instantly.

"It's amazing. It turns out that Jiangshan usually trains for full-court counterattacks and shrinks the defense at critical moments. It's a seamless link." Pochettino exclaimed, "After shrinking the defense, he gradually relaxed it and everyone expanded the defensive surface. Isn’t this the best full-court counterattack defense?”

"Jiangshan's intention was so profound that I didn't even understand it. It wasn't until Jiangshan took the initiative to release his tactics that I understood, alas...it seems that my abilities are still far behind." Pochettino had a lot of ideas.

Seeing that he controlled the direction of the game, Jiangshan asked Khedira and Vidal to switch positions and adapt to other positions. Vidal's defensive ability is also good and he is very aggressive in attacking. Khedira is a little ahead and can also unleash his ability to organize offense.

After all, Khedira is not Pirlo. His ability to organize long passes and read the game is slightly inferior. He is not as good as Pirlo. Now he can only make up for his shortcomings with diligence.

Rijkaard didn't quite understand it. He had seen too many defensive counterattack tactics and had to think about how to break the intensive defense almost every day, but he saw Atletico Madrid's defensive method.

His confidence was still shaken by Jiangshan's tactics, "You can press the defense and keep changing positions? Is this treating Atletico Madrid as a machine?"

There are many people who think the same as him. Guardiola is coaching the Barcelona B team. He is very adaptable and has already shaped the B team's formation into what he imagined. Team B's performance is gratifying and they are now ranked first. If it were not for the rules, they would even be in La Liga next season.

Now, Guardiola is hiding at the scene, watching Jiangshan's performance in amazement, "Rijkaard is no match for Jiangshan. Unexpectedly, Jiangshan has deepened his understanding of full-court pressing tactics in the past few years."

When Jiangshan was an assistant coach, Jiangshan discussed these issues with him. But without facing a team with strong passing control, this concept has not been implemented. Now it seems that this concept of full-court pressing is definitely the nemesis of the passing and controlling team.

Whether in Monaco or AC Milan, Jiangshan's team itself is a team that coexists with passing control and counterattack. In the Bundesliga's Hertha Berlin, they focus on defensive counterattacks, and there is no team with strong passing control in the Bundesliga. obvious.

"Jiangshan, well done, knock down Rijkaard so that I can take over." Guardiola thought eagerly, constantly licking the corners of his mouth, unable to restrain his excitement, "In this case, I can fight against you. I want to see whether your concept is stronger or my passing control is more advanced."

The game is still going on, and the two sides have begun to make personnel adjustments, and continue to fight through personnel adjustments.

Even with Mertesacker replaced, Jiangshan's team defense is still solid and very targeted. Messi and Eto'o were completely restricted and found it difficult to make an impact. Henry was also unable to effectively break through on the wing, and Barcelona was unable to break Atletico Madrid's defense.

"There is still one wing player missing, a player who can shoot directly. A player who can shoot as soon as he gets a chance from the wing. Can you find him?" Guardiola saw the problem, and his heart became even hotter. "I can't wait any longer. "This Barcelona has the ability to dominate football, and I want to be the leader."

Barcelona has Messi, Xavi, Inesta, plus the defense and Puyol. With a few adjustments, Barcelona will definitely be able to stand on the top of Europe. It's a pity that Rijkaard can't do it.

As the game entered the final moments, Atletico Madrid continued to attack. Their defense had expanded to almost the entire court, and they could even control the ball calmly. Barcelona's counterattack rhythm is not good, and Atletico Madrid's control is increasing.

Rijkaard felt very sad, but he couldn't think of a way. How to solve it? This is the biggest problem, and it cannot be solved overnight.

"Is there a problem with Yaya Toure? He seems to be easily out of position in the defensive midfielder position. Is it because of this? But Yaya Toure is indispensable. Without Yaya Toure, how can we advance strongly? ?" Rijkaard was extremely confused.

Atletico Madrid continued to attack, Khedira passed the ball to Vidal, who came up, and continued to sprint.

Torres took a slight step forward and then moved to the wing. The two full-backs continued to attack, and the full-backs jumped in to attack.

Cross pass, Aguero holds the ball, knocks back, and passes it to Khedira who is advancing forward. Khedira kicks the ball and shoots without wasting any time. He wants to score, but he is going crazy thinking about it.

When the opportunity came, I couldn't grasp it, and the ball volleyed into the net.

Valdes' goal was penetrated by Atletico Madrid for the third time. He knelt on the ground, "Brothers, I tried my best. I had too many opportunities to perform today. Unfortunately, I just couldn't prevent it!"

Unable to prevent it, Atletico Madrid's impact was too powerful. Barcelona's defense was crumbling and was finally penetrated.

The score changed again, 1:3. Barcelona was defeated by Atletico Madrid three times at home. Such a shame is rare.

Rijkaard almost collapsed on the coaching bench. He could accept defeat, but he was beaten without temper. When has Barcelona ever been like this? Especially in La Liga, besides Real Madrid, who is so good at Barcelona?

"Hehe, Barcelona got to see Jiangshan's coaching skills today. He led Atletico Madrid to beat Barcelona with a score of 3:1, and it was an away game. Jiangshan is really good." Zhang Hehe said excitedly, "After this game, Barcelona's The top spot goes to Sevilla.”

"It's like this. Sevilla has performed well this season and has not yet tasted defeat. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that they have not encountered strong opponents in the previous few games. If they encounter Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, ​​then La Liga will The troubled times are coming." Duan Xuan added.

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 3:1 in an away game, taking all 3 points and continuing to sprint up the standings.
