The Green Superstar

"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the second round of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League semi-final. Atletico Madrid will play at home against Dortmund!

In the first leg contest a week ago, Dortmund lost 0:1 at home to Atletico Madrid at the West** Stadium.

If you look at the situation and the statistics, Dortmund's loss would be very surprising. They blasted 19 shots but failed to break the opponent's goal. Atletico Madrid had only 6 shots but took away a victory.

Atletico Madrid has the opportunity to advance to the finals with Diego Costa's goal!

It is worth mentioning that Dortmund lacked the team's scoring champion Tang Hong in the first round. According to some media reports, Tang Hong missed the first round of the match and the Bundesliga last weekend due to family reasons. However, Tang Hong returned to Dortmund today. In the starting lineup, I think Dortmund's offensive power in the away game today will be stronger than in the home game!

Atletico Madrid has performed very well this season. They are expected to end the long-term monopoly of Barcelona and Real Madrid on the championship in the league. Simeone's team relies on a tough, pragmatic, fierce, simple and efficient counterattack in La Liga and the Champions League.

They have become the most representative team in European football that is now good at defending against counters.

It may not be easy for Dortmund to make a comeback at the Calderon Stadium.

Today, Atletico Madrid has a 442 formation at home.

Goalkeeper: Courtois.

Defenders: Juan Fran, Godin, Miranda, Felipe Luiz.

Midfielder: Raul Garcia, Gabi, Thiago, Cork.

Forwards: Villa, Diego Costa.

Dortmund started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Piszczek, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer.

Midfielder: Sven Bender, Mkhitaryan, Gundogan.

Forwards: Royce, Lewandowski, Tang Hong.

The two teams are doing their best, and this life and death battle is bound to be a battle! "

When the referee blew the whistle for the first half of the game, Atletico Madrid's first wave of offensive burst from the left side of the center. Cork passed the ball to Villa, who dialed the ball and continued to dribble. , But before the penalty area, Sven Bender stretched his leg to destroy the ball.

Dortmund took control of the ball and started a fast break.

Atletico Madrid's formation retreated, and the originally relatively conservative formation took on an iron barrel posture even at home.

Simeone was on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and a confident posture. Klopp looked serious and watched the development of the game.

Royce received the ball from the front side and then retraced the ball. After passing the ball to the center to make adjustments, Gundogan knocked the ball across the left.

Schmelzer stepped forward and sent a straight pass.

Tang Hong was closely guarded by Juan Fran on the flanks of the frontcourt? He backed up and directly dialed the ball towards the bottom line of the flanks? At the same time, when he turned around, Juan Fran followed suit. Tang Hong speeded up and was still one meter away from the sideline. When he turned forward to pull the ball? Juan Fran grabbed the ball when he stepped on the area outside the sideline? But the football that rolled to the sideline was picked up by Tang Hong with his right foot to the bottom line, Juan Fran kicked Forced to lose.

Tang Hong sprinted forward from out of bounds? After completely getting rid of Juan Fran, he changed back to inbound possession.

Dortmund fans have become accustomed to Tang Hong's show operation, while Atletico Madrid fans have a new understanding of Tang Hong's coquettish ball handling skills.

The ball came to the edge of the penalty area? Tang Hong saw the Atletico Madrid midfielder quickly withdrew to the direction of the penalty area? Godin cautiously defended against him.

After Tang Hong smashed the ball towards the bottom line, he directly supported his body with his left foot, and passed the ball with a flower foot around the back of his left leg.

It's not that he has to show off his face.

But he must grab the rhythm to pass, otherwise Godin will block his angle, and Raúl Garcia has also killed him? Atletico Madrid is a master of regional defense.

The cross sent by Tang Hong's arranging foot was beaten by Courtois in front of the goal area? Lewandowski followed up and outflanked the goal.

Although Dortmund failed to make a shot in the first wave of offensive, Sven Bender controlled the ball in the midfield. When he had already passed the ball, Diego Costa pushed him from the side and rear. Let Sven Bender fall directly to the ground.

The referee signaled the game to continue according to the offensive advantage.

Although Sven Bender hated Diego Costa's additional action? But he kept his head calm and did not care about the opponent, and immediately got up and continued to enter the game.

When Mkhitaryan hit the wall with Gundogan in the middle of the front court, Tang Hong ran back to the front of the penalty area? When receiving the pass from Gundogan, he met the ball on the left side of the penalty area and took a long shot!

Don't give Thiago a chance to block the press!

The football crossed an inner arc and flew to the far corner of the goal? Courtois hurriedly moved to make a save. After his body vacated and saved, he had a foreboding that the football would fly out of the bottom line? But dare not care? Both eyes fixed on the trajectory of the football flight. .

When the football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the right post? Courtois was relieved.

Tang Hong's shot caused Dortmund fans to sigh.

But soon everyone encouraged the team to continue to cheer with applause.

Dortmund adopts a high counter-grab tactic in the frontcourt, knowing that the opponent is playing a defensive counterattack when the total score is behind, but it must also bite the bullet to do so.

When Atletico Madrid organized the offensive, the ball was quickly delivered in the backcourt. When Diego Costa had the ball in the frontcourt, Sven Bender immediately stepped forward to force the ball. When Diego Costa was protecting the ball, his arm was clearly moving, which looked like Subconsciously move naturally, but in fact, it is obviously to touch the opponent's neck or face deliberately, or to hit the opponent darkly.

Or "accidentally" step on the opponent when the body is entangled, kick the opponent.

Everyone has been familiar with Koster's dirty playing style over the years.

It can even be said that the entire Atletico Madrid team has such characteristics.

It can not be said that Atletico Madrid is wrong with this style of play, after all, they did not create a precedent.

It can only be said that this style is very rare among top teams.

Just like the Italian team is conservative to conservative, they sublimate defense to art.

On the conservative basis, Atletico Madrid also comes with a lot of small defensive moves, unnecessary moves, in fact, there is only one purpose: to destroy the opponent's mentality!

The opponent will always fall into a psychological activity similar to "suffering" and "being attacked".

Opponents with poor control mentality and inability to keep their heads calm are easily deceived. This will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness, especially the integrity of the team will be destroyed, especially once the core players fall into the trap and the mentality is out of balance, which will hit the team. One can imagine.

After the first round of the game, Klopp criticized Atletico Madrid's excessive dirty little actions on the court.

But as the loser, such an accusation sounds like the moan of the weak. No one cares, and it is even less likely that someone will stand up and uphold justice.

The hardest truth in football is winning!

You can't win the ball. Even if you win the game by reason, it will only lose the reality.

Therefore, Klopp did not mention Atletico Madrid's playing style before the second round.

But Klopp's pre-match exhortations to the team repeatedly reiterated not to be affected by Atletico Madrid's extra moves.

Even though Sven Bender suffered a lot in front of Diego Costa, he was beaten from time to time by the opponent, but he still remained calm. When Diego Costa pulled the ball and moved forward, Sven Bender failed. Directly intercepted the ball, but also entangled the opponent when he turned around. While Subotic stepped forward to clear the ball out, Diego Costa rushed forward without slowing down and knocked the opponent over!

This is obviously intentional.

But because Dortmund's offense is favorable and the action is not enough to play cards, the referee can only signal the game to continue.

Subotici also got up immediately, then rubbed his ribs, after relieving the pain, his eyes were earnestly paying attention to the situation on the court to adjust his position.

Gundogan knocked the ball back diagonally in the midfield, and Schmelzer continued to play the ball from the side to find Tang Hong on the front side.

Tang Hong took the ball forward and dribbled forward. After a step, he encountered Juan Fran. He immediately stopped and pulled the ball in front of him. Juan Fran also slowed down and prepared to steal.

But when Tang Hong pulled the ball in front of him, he quickly started leaping forward vigorously.

This rhythm change caught Juan Fran by surprise, and Tang Hong once again completed his breakthrough.

In the offensive danger zone, the ball changed its direction, Tang Hong just cut into the inside and was chased by Raul Garcia stretched his leg to stop him and fell to the ground.

Raul Garcia took the initiative to reach out and try to pull Tang Hong up to express his friendship, so that at least he can get a certain reduction in his sentence in the eyes of the referee.

However, Tang Hong ignored the opponent's extended hand. He didn't scold the opponent and his expression was calm. He didn't even look at the opponent. He turned around and stood up by himself, and then prepared to take the set kick.

If Atletico Madrid is trying to destroy the opponent's mentality with savage or even ugly methods, then Dortmund's approach is to destroy Atletico Madrid with traditional tactical defeats.

After the opening of the game, he frequently beat Tang Hong. Whether it is the response and tearing of his teammates' running position, or the display of his personal ball control ability, he has clearly gained an advantage in front of Juan Fran.

This is Klopp's tactical requirements, first focus on bombarding the opponent's local defense line!

The set ball outside the penalty area was close to the wing area. After Tang Hong took a run-up, he rubbed the ball with his right foot and dropped the ball into the penalty area.

The strong internal rotation of the football brought misleading judgments to the defensive players. Pišček came to the back of the penalty area to face the falling football and stretch his legs to kick the ball!

Although the right foot shot the ball, the football hit the goal side net!

The angle is too small!

Atletico Madrid will be relieved after a shock.

Almost scored the goal by Dortmund!
