Chapter 327 A Lion Becomes a Cat

Judging from this game, Atletico Madrid really looks very "strong"!

"Sporting Gijon in the away game was almost beaten by Atletico Madrid without a temper!" After the game, Corbe Radio made a post-match replay of the game.

"Possession rate 70.00% Three vs. 20.00% Seven!"

"What kind of concept is this? It is almost equivalent to Atletico Madrid almost in possession of the ball throughout the game, while Sporting Gijon may get some possession of the ball during goal kicks and free kicks. Complete control and suppression!"

"Sixteen shots to three! Shots within the goal frame are seven to zero! This almost means that De Gea will not play this game, and Sporting Gijon will not win-they can't let De Gea make even one save! And Sporting Gijon's goalkeeper Cuellar is quite busy this game."

The host on the TV sighed and said.

Catalonia, Guardiola's home.

Barcelona's head coach turned off the TV and turned on the computer.

Atletico Madrid beat their opponents [-]-[-] in the first round of the season, which fully demonstrates the current good state of Atletico Madrid.

西甲首轮波澜不惊，唯独皇马客场0-0被马洛卡逼平算得上是一个冷门；卫冕冠军巴塞罗那客场3-0完胜桑坦德，取得赛季开门红；拉科鲁尼亚主场0-0战平萨拉戈萨，西班牙人主场3-1胜赫塔菲，奥萨苏纳主场0-0战平阿梅利亚，维拉里尔客场0-1不敌皇家社会，塞维利亚客场4-1大胜莱万特，瓦伦西亚击败3-1取胜马拉加，毕尔巴鄂客场1-0力克升班马赫库莱斯，马德里竞技主场4-0大胜希洪竞技。

For Guardiola, studying opponents can be said to be the most important part of his usual work, especially the Atletico Madrid they are about to face.

Barcelona will go to Madrid to challenge Atletico Madrid away in the third round of the league. Guardiola naturally has to give priority to studying his opponents in the league.

After he watched the game video of this game carefully.

Guardiola's face was already a little dignified.

Then Guardiola reopened the Atletico Madrid game video and continued to watch.

Guardiola is very interested in Atletico Madrid's current tactics. Although some media are claiming that Atletico Madrid is imitating Barcelona, ​​Guardiola knows that Atletico Madrid plays different football from Barcelona.

This game may be the reason why the opponent is too weak. Guardiola can't see too much for the time being, but he can see the clues from some game clips.

Their passing looks aimless, it is run-catch-run, and the football is constantly passed on the field.The key lies in the two sides. Atletico Madrid's two wingers sometimes pull the side, and sometimes attack the rib area!

Guardiola also searched out some of Gao Bo's previous game videos at Luton.

This Atletico Madrid team made Guardiola have to notice their existence.

Their way of playing may cause a lot of trouble in La Liga this season

Winning is the cure for everything.

If there are any players dissatisfied with Gao Bo's high-intensity training, there must be.

Among them is Aguero.

Aguero actually disapproved of Gao Bo's training to a certain extent, but in the training, Aguero saw the strength of Diego Costa and even Immobile.

He knows that if he expresses his dissatisfaction publicly, the Chinese can always be replaced by someone. Diego Costa, who came off the bench in the first round of the league, also scored.

Aguero is a smart person. He knows that most of the locker room is now Gao Bo's people, so he didn't express his thoughts.

But after the first big victory, Aguero's thoughts also changed.

They passed the ball continuously in the frontcourt, easily mobilized the opponent's defense, and then quickly found a gap.

The four goals were scored in almost the same way.

And even though Aguero also ran most of the time, he didn't feel how tired he was when the offense went smoothly.

It seems that the high-intensity physical training before the season really paid off.

If he can keep winning like this, Aguero is also happy to see it.

As a player, who doesn't want to win?

And this head coach really seems to have two brushes.

There are not a few players who think like Aguero.

How can a coach conquer players?

The most important factor is that the coach can lead them to win. Otherwise, no matter how popular the coach is, what's the use?

Gao Bo had known this for a long time, so after the victory, the team's training still did not relax!

Although he won a big victory in the last game, Gao Bo also saw a lot of problems.

The first point is that the team is still unable to maintain a long-term fast-paced pass, which is very important!

Because the third round is about to face Barcelona, ​​today's method of creating opportunities through speed and speed is very effective against a team like Sporting Gijon, but it may not be effective against Barcelona.

Because the player abilities of both sides are not on the same line at all.

When it comes to Barcelona, ​​people think more about their passing and possession, Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta.

But in fact, Barcelona's defense is also very powerful!

Any team that wants to win everything has to be top in every way.

The same goes for Barcelona.

Guardiola's layer-by-layer pressing and personal defense that restricts passing is a point hidden in Barcelona's ball-handling thinking that people often overlook.

For Gao Bo, the biggest key on the offensive end is whether he can quickly pass the ball out under pressing conditions, and then create a chance to shoot in the frontcourt!

efficiency! !

This is what Gao Bo has been emphasizing on the training ground these days.

In fact, Gao Bo doesn't care about the ball possession rate, what he cares about is the effective ball possession rate-find the gap through the pass in the frontcourt, and then shoot!

In Gao Bo's view, if you are facing an opponent like Barcelona, ​​fighting for possession rate with them is actually using your own strengths to attack the opponent's strengths.

Shots!

Shooting percentage!

The number of times you scored within 30 meters of the frontcourt!

Steal!

Physical confrontation success rate!

Since the first round, Gao Bo has been preparing for the match against Barcelona.

Gao Bo does not emphasize the ball possession rate, but when the strength gap between the two sides is obvious, Atletico Madrid's ball possession rate will still occupy an absolute advantage.

The second round of the league took twelve days longer than the first round!

This is due to the disagreement between La Liga and the Spanish Football Association, which caused the delay of the second round of the game.

Fortunately, the game time is also determined soon.

On September [-]th, Atletico Madrid will challenge Athletic Bilbao away!

Due to Atletico Madrid's excellent performance in the first round, this round of Atletico Madrid's game has attracted a lot of attention.

The media want to see if Atletico Madrid is really reborn.After all, their opponents in the first round were too weak, and there was not much reference value.But this round their opponents are different.

Athletic Bilbao ranked No.7 in the league last season, ahead of Atletico Madrid.

And in the two matches between the two sides last season, Athletic Bilbao defeated Atletico Madrid at home!So at the new San Mames Stadium, if Atletico Madrid wants to beat their opponents, it will not be so easy.

".What kind of performance Atlético de Madrid can show against an opponent like Athletic Bilbao is worth looking forward to. Whether Gao Bo's team can continue the crazy performance in the first round, or is it just a flash in the pan, maybe we can see some clues in this game."

Before the game, the Madrid regional newspaper "Marca" said in a report.

In fact, this is also the view of most media.

Atletico Madrid's amazing performance in the first round of the league, but whether this is the strength of Atletico Madrid, or because the opponents in the first round are too weak, allowing Atletico Madrid's players to play more and more smoothly, resulting in a big score.The media generally believe that further observation is needed.

Bilbao has won eight La Liga championships, second only to Atletico Madrid in La Liga, and is the fourth-best club in Spain.Moreover, this team only uses players of Basque descent, and it has not changed until today. It is unique in La Liga and even European football.

Speaking of which, Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid are quite related.

Both teams have the word "athletic" in their names, and their jerseys are also red and white striped shirts.

This is not accidental. In fact, Atletico Madrid was originally formed by a group of Basques who went to school in Madrid to express their support for their hometown, so Atletico Madrid is very similar to Athletic Bilbao from the name and jersey to the team logo.In fact, in the first few years of Atletico Madrid's establishment, Atletico Madrid was also regarded as a branch of Bilbao's "Athletic Club" in Madrid.

It's just that the little brother back then has now become a big boss. In terms of the team's honor book, Atletico Madrid has already surpassed Athletic Bilbao.

The status of the two "sports clubs" in Spain was reversed very early.

As the representative team of the Basque Country, Athletic Bilbao play rough and tough style, known as the Basque Lions.

However, when the Lions faced Atletico Madrid, they were tricked and couldn't find the north.

Athletic Bilbao could indeed withstand one or two at the beginning of the game, but Atletico Madrid, who played away, quickly took control of the situation!

In the 308th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid's continuous passing made Athletic Bilbao lose sight of the other. In the end, Atletico Madrid opened the gap in the defense on the right side!

Griezmann took the ball to the bottom line and passed the ball to the back point!

Reyes passed the ball back to the center at the back point!

Modric, who was inserted in the middle, scored near the penalty spot! ! !

Gao Bo immediately applauded Modric after his goal.

In fact, after the introduction of Modric, Gao Bo was still a little worried.

Despite his previous life, the future Modric performed very well in Real Madrid and is one of the main contributors to Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League titles.

But in fact, Modric was not acclimatized to Real Madrid in his first season, and was even called one of the worst signings in Real Madrid's history after the season ended.

However, Gao Bo believes that there are many reasons why Modric did not perform well in the first season after going to Real Madrid, the most important of which is probably the form of Real Madrid's dressing room at that time.

In Mourinho's later period, Real Madrid's locker room was chaotic, and the head coach had almost lost control of the situation in the locker room. Mourinho, several of Real Madrid's main players, and the leaders of various factions were all strangers.

Under such circumstances, Modric came to Real Madrid, a place of right and wrong, looking weak and weak, and he didn't have any big-name temperament. Modric, who was not a big-name in the Real Madrid lineup at the time, wanted to perform well in such an environment. It was more difficult than reaching the sky.

But now Atletico Madrid is different.

At Atletico Madrid, Modric is considered one of the biggest players, and the dressing room environment is simple, most of them are newcomers, Gao Bo has a very strong control over the dressing room, and the authority of the head coach is fully implemented in the dressing room.

Modric's position on the right side of the midfield is also an area he is good at, and his tactical play that focuses on passing the ball also makes him feel like a fish in water.

All this allowed Modric to quickly adapt to the way of playing in Atletico Madrid, and his ability gradually emerged.

This goal seems to be the reward for Modric.

After the goal, Modric laughed and ran to the sidelines with his arms outstretched.

Gao Bo also spread his arms.

"I feel great right now! Boss!!!"

Modric yelled in Gobo's ear.For Modric, the current way of playing is what he likes.When he was at Tottenham before, he always felt that he was not fully able to play. The football environment in England is a natural constraint for a technical player like him. There is too much emphasis on speed, fast up and down. Even if Tottenham can be regarded as a relatively technical team in the Premier League, their offense often sees the ball flying around their heads.

And now the set of tactics designed by Gao Bo makes Modric feel like a fish in water, passing the ball constantly, and then he can find a gap and send the ball into the opponent's goal!This made Modric feel unprecedented fun.

"This is your ability! Luca!!!"

Gao Bo never forgets to motivate his players.

After conceding the ball, Bilbao was on the verge of collapse soon. At the end of the first half, they had several dangerous situations in front of the goal. Fortunately, Atletico Madrid's striker failed to grasp it.

The final whistle of the first half brought a sigh of relief to Athletic Bilbao players and fans alike.

There was a clear sound of exhalation in the stands of the new San Mames stadium-one can imagine how much pressure the Athletic Bilbao fans were under at the end of the first half.

Now the fans of Athletic Bilbao can only hope for the halftime break, so that they can use these 15 minutes to take a good rest and recover, and they can get the situation back in the second half.

Only one goal behind!

Bilbao fans also quickly recovered.

This is their home court, no matter what opponent they are, they will eat a piece of meat when they come to this home court.

Gao Bo didn't make any adjustments during the intermission. He just praised the team's performance in the first half and reminded the players to score the second goal as soon as possible to seal the victory.

The second half had just begun, but the Lions of Bilbao roared. They took advantage of the kick-off of the second half to attack aggressively.

And now people can see how Atletico Madrid's defense is.

Starting from the frontcourt, Athletic Bilbao's players on the ball were always oppressed by Atletico Madrid's players.

And Bilbao tried to directly attack Atletico Madrid's penalty area with a long pass.

Godin showed his strength at this time!

Godin's header is very good, and his partner Boateng's frontal defense ability is also good!

Athletic Bilbao attacked for a while in the opening stage, but was pressed back by Atletico Madrid.

As a result, in the No.409 minute of the game, Kanter successfully intercepted the ball near the center circle, and then Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack on the spot!

It was also a few consecutive passes, and the football was developed to the frontcourt!

Griezmann came back from the front to receive the ball, and then Modric pressed wide, and the two completed a change of position at this moment.

Griezmann made a move to continue to push the ball to Modric in the frontcourt, making Bilbao's defensive players make a move to block the line in advance.

However, the passing line got stuck, and Griezmann's space for dribbling came out.

Griezmann immediately dribbled the ball across everything, and then shot directly!

The football draws an arc and flies towards the goal!

Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Isoles reacted quite quickly. He jumped up, flew to block the ball with his hand, and the football bounced back into the penalty area.

But then no one can stop Aguero's supplementary shot from the penalty area!

Two to zero!

Atletico Madrid established a two-goal lead early in the second half.

The lead of two goals made Atletico Madrid relax a little.

In the second minute of game No.60, Llorente helped Athletic Bilbao get back a goal through a corner kick.

But soon Atletico Madrid retaliated!

Reyes came back to catch the ball and took the ball forward. After attracting the defense, he distributed the ball to the left!

Alex Sandro assists in!

He hit the ball back to Reyes near the baseline!

Reyes pushed the ball to the middle, and after receiving the ball, Raul Garcia didn't stop the ball and stuffed it directly into the penalty area!

At this time, Reyes was already in place, swung his foot and shot! !

The football flies into the net again!

Three to one! !

This goal silenced the new San Mames stadium.

This Atletico Madrid offense makes Athletic Bilbao seem to have no way to let go!

Atlético de Madrid's frontcourt attackers constantly change positions. When opportunities such as 1VS1 and 2vs1 are formed, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt attackers can make a personal breakthrough or a simple two-for-one cooperation to form a shot.

Such an attacking method makes Atletico Madrid's offense a threat almost every time!

Game No.703 minutes, Atletico Madrid scored the fourth goal!

This time the central defender Godin.

Griezmann made a free kick from the wing.

Atletico Madrid's two central defenders also came up to participate in the set-piece attack.

Set-piece offense is also a focus of Atletico Madrid's offense!Gao Bo attaches great importance to the offensive training of set kicks.

If Gao Bo is not too satisfied with any other points of the team, it is that he thinks his team still lacks a high center forward.

This is not to say that the team will play high-altitude ball tactics, but at some special moments, the presence of a high center forward can provide more tactical changes.

But the fact that the team does not have a high center forward does not mean that the team has no one to head the ball!

Godin's header ability is outstanding!

This is not only reflected in defense, but also in offense.

His positioning and jumping are world class!

So in terms of set-piece offense, Godin is an important attack point for the team!

Modric comes to take the set piece on the right, and he curves the ball with his right foot and passes the ball into the penalty area!

Aguero ran forward and attracted some defensive forces!

Griezmann and Reyes hit the middle of the penalty area, and Boateng also drilled back.

Godin, who was hidden behind Boateng before, went around from the back point to the penalty spot.

At this time, Modric's pass just bypassed the front point, and Godin leaped high near the penalty spot, his waist muscles drove his head, and his whole body was like a tightened rubber band!

A powerful header smashes the ball towards the goal!

After the football bounced off the goal, it flew into the goal.

Goalkeeper Isoles didn't have time to raise his hands in a symbolic reaction until the ball flew into the goal.

But his raised hands looked more like surrender.

Of course, it is impossible for the Lions of Bilbao to surrender.

In the final stage of the game, Athletic Bilbao's actions began to increase. In order to avoid injuries to his main players, Gao Bo began to make substitutions and adjustments.

Mario Suarez came on for Modric and then Diego Costa came off the bench again, replacing Aguero.

When the game was over 80 minutes into the end, Gao Bo continued to make substitutions.

Cork comes on, this time on the right and he replaces Griezmann.

Gao Bo tried his best to let the young players on his bench get the chance to play.

Although Athletic Bilbao launched a wave of onslaught at the last moment, in the end Atletico Madrid defeated Bilbao [-]-[-] away and won two consecutive victories in the league.

The Basque Lions had no temper at all when they were kicked by their former younger brother. Even Llorente's goal was scored by a set kick. They couldn't even get a chance in the open game!

Bilbao's promoted head coach Caparros also shook his head and sighed at the press conference: "We were technically knocked down by Atletico Madrid in this game. This is my responsibility. We were completely unable to match the rhythm of Atletico Madrid when we defended. Their pass control and the ability of the frontcourt attacker allowed them to win the game."

"How strong is Atlético Madrid? Perhaps we can see one or two from these two games. Four to zero, four to one! Two games, eight goals, and one conceded goal! Such statistics have allowed them to temporarily top the standings. Although the league has only started two rounds, the top of the standings does not mean anything, but it at least shows that Atletico Madrid this season and the previous mixed seasons have undergone tremendous changes!!!"

After the game, the host of Kobe TV said.

And Atletico Madrid didn't stay in the Basque Country for too long, they immediately returned to Madrid to prepare for the third round of the league-Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona at home!
