In a dead ball situation, Dick called Belleron: "Juan, control the rhythm, do you understand? Don't be led by their offense, slow down the rhythm! We can't beat them on the fast break.
Even better! Control the midfield and advance steadily, do you understand? Don’t give them too many opportunities to get the ball! They originally play high and high, and it’s impossible to fight them with this fast pace!”
Beleron nodded and ran onto the court. In fact, they all understood what Dick said. It was just that the opponent had set the pace before. Now after Dick gave such instructions, they had to do
Just focus all your attention on controlling the ball and mastering the rhythm, and you will naturally be able to perform better.
Dick knows that there is no need to rush to score goals now. When Atletico Madrid slows down the rhythm and starts to control the whole field, the goals will naturally come as a matter of course. The strategic advantage is higher than one or two lucky goals.
Many head coaches don't understand this, but Dick knows it very well.
The so-called probability theory is that when you master the correct method, even if you fail occasionally, the possibility of failure is much smaller than the possibility of success. And when you use the wrong method, maybe
You may succeed occasionally, but the possibility of success is much smaller than the possibility of failure!
The key is, how can you know whether the method you adopt is correct or wrong - on the football field, this is the success of an overall tactic. When you can have an effective overall tactic, when
When your players can perform well in this set of tactics, your chances of winning will naturally become greater. Of course, if you want to win some important championships, you still need some luck.
After Dick gave the instructions, Belleron began to slow down the rhythm through his ball control and passing on the court - this is not an easy task, at least he must be able to quickly control the opponent's press.
Control the ball well, then pass the ball out in time, then pick up the ball again, and then pass it out... If there are some mistakes in these actions, it will be impossible to control the rhythm.
However, Belleron accomplished all this easily. Under a suitable environment and with Dick's targeted tactics, Belleron has made very rapid progress over the past year. His characteristics
He has fully exerted himself, and may not be considered a top star in terms of overall strength, but just like in the comic Yu Yu Hakusho, those supernatural beings may be instantly killed by Yusuke in terms of combat power, but when they enter their
After the realm, Yusuke can only be killed instantly by him!
A player with characteristics like Belleron, when played in a suitable environment, is enough to make a team's level reach a qualitative leap. Just like Riquelme's poor performance in Barcelona, when he played in Villa
Real received a suitable environment and a group of teammates who cooperated with him and were strong. He also defeated many superstars!
Belleron got the ball in his backcourt, and then passed the ball to Jorgensen a little ahead before Smicer came up, and then moved forward to ask for the ball. When Jorgensen passed the ball back,
He suddenly stopped and turned around, dodged Gerrard's pressing, and then passed the ball back to Baraja behind him. Then he ran sideways, dodged a receiving gap, and then asked for the ball again. Baraja passed
The ball was passed, Belleron turned around with the ball, and when Riise was pressing over, he passed the ball to Hector. Hector passed the ball to Jorgensen, and Jorgensen passed it back to Belleron again.
Belleron took the ball and turned around, directly transferring it to the feet of Vicente on the left. Vicente saw that there was no chance of breakthrough in front of him, so he turned and passed the ball to Capdevila, who was following up.
Villa immediately passed the ball to Belleron again…
After a series of passes, Atletico Madrid withstood Liverpool's crazy pressing after losing the ball. After this delay, Liverpool's players had already returned to their defense. Dick didn't care about this. In fact, Atletico Madrid was more defensive when playing positional battles.
Excellent, as long as you are not dragged and beaten by the opponent until you are exhausted.
After gradually transporting the ball to the frontcourt, Belleron continued to look for opportunities through passing. Although the attack ended with Vicente's long shot from the corner of the penalty area, Dick nodded from the sidelines.
.
If the opponent is good at running, you have to tie their legs so that they can have enough advantage on the court!
Although Liverpool was once the most technical offensive team in the Premier League (I don’t know if Ferguson was so persistent in making Manchester United’s midfield more technical and he also meant to compete with Liverpool in this regard), but in such a long period of time
After a period of time, Redknapp and McManaman among those technical players left one after another, and after Fowler's condition declined, Liverpool began to become more and more like a traditional Premier League team.
The forwards are taller and faster, the midfielders are a group of strong runners, and the defense is a group of tall central defenders...
Their most accustomed and most effective tactic now is to play fast offense, relying on Heskey's body and Irving's speed to create opportunities!
What Atletico Madrid is doing now is to change the tone of the entire game from a quick attack to a positional battle! Use Thuram and Marchena to block the possibility of a quick counterattack by the opponent, and slow down the opponent's speed by retreating step by step.
Offensive methods, relying on Belleron's organization and control to slow down the pace of the offense - maybe Atletico Madrid will miss some opportunities because of this tactic, but it will definitely make Liverpool's players more capable
Not adaptable!
Either push yourself to the limit, or make your opponent more miserable than you are - no matter whether you are better or worse, as long as you can give your team an advantage - this is the kingly way on the court.
When Atletico Madrid began to gradually control the midfield and slowly advance the offensive position, the Liverpool fans in the stands began to boo. In their view, Atletico Madrid's performance was obviously a disgrace.
Such a cowardly performance, how can such a confrontation satisfy Liverpool fans? A slow attack after falling behind is simply intolerable behavior!
But just as Dick never changes his way of doing things because of the comments of reporters, Atletico Madrid players will not change the way they play because of the boos of hostile fans.
The fans of Liverpool were dissatisfied, and the players of Liverpool were also awkward. Their fast break was not good. When Atletico Madrid started to attack, there was not much difference between them returning to defense quickly or slowly, but they did not dare not to do so.
Return to defense faster - what if Atletico Madrid suddenly plays fast and hits the ball behind them? Liverpool's defense is still not very fast, and the speed of Vicente and Jorgensen will make them very troubled...
In such an awkward game situation, the performance of Liverpool players will naturally be affected - emotions are sometimes very important. In a very smooth game, even if they are at a disadvantage, they will persevere well and be selfless at the same time.
They can give full play to their abilities, but when things are not going well and everything seems to be stumbling, even if they have an advantage, it will make the players feel very irritated. A team that plays awkwardly on the court, no matter how strong it is,
If you are strong, you won't be able to play too happily - this is the case with Liverpool now.
Four minutes before the end of the first half, Jorgensen, who came on as a substitute, launched an extremely threatening attack.
After receiving a pass from Hector on the right, he began to advance along the wing. His advancement was not fast, but he continued to use his excellent foot skills to control the ball back and forth, forcing Riise to keep retreating - thinking
There is no way to steal the ball because he always controls the ball at his feet very well. Rushing to steal it will only give Jorgensen a better chance to break through.
When Kankan broke through to a place parallel to the line of the penalty area, Jorgensen suddenly stopped and passed the ball to Belleron who was following up in the middle. Belleron made a beautiful turn while receiving the ball.
Dodged Hamann's defense, and then suddenly raised his foot and hoisted the ball into the penalty area!
When he raised his foot to lob the ball, Jardel, who was competing with Hyypia in the penalty area, suddenly turned around, stopped fighting with Hyypia, and rushed directly into the penalty area!
Huntez jumped up in the penalty area, trying to pass Belleron's lob pass, but Belleron's pass was controlled very well. When flying into the penalty area, the arc was very high and high.
It got to the point where Hunterz couldn't touch the ball no matter how high he jumped, and then he flew until he was near the penalty spot before starting to fall!
The ball almost landed in front of Jardel as if it had eyes. Jardel, who had just turned around and rushed into the penalty area, hardly needed to adjust. He raised his right foot to face the falling ball and volleyed directly into the penalty area!
Facing this close-range volley, Dudek just waved his arm subconsciously, and the ball flew into the Liverpool gate like a cannonball!
In a lukewarm attack, suddenly speeding up to hit Liverpool's defense was one of the tactics Atletico had prepared in advance. Now that it is being used, it hits Liverpool's weak spot!
"GOOOOOOOAL! Jardel! Atletico Madrid's beautiful cooperation in the frontcourt equalized the score! Jorgensen broke through from the wing and Belleron**'s last pass! Jardel scored with a coherent shooting action! Before Atletico Madrid,
When we took control of the situation on the field, we guessed that there would be such a goal, and it happened!"
The Atletico players on the field hugged each other, while the Liverpool fans in the stands collectively booed. However, no matter how loud their boos were, they could not hide the fact that they were equalized by Atletico!
Dick smiled and clapped his hands on the sidelines. Continuity is very important at this time. Maybe the last game against Barcelona made Atletico Madrid players a little overdrawn, but in just a few days, their state will definitely be very good.
If the good things continue, if Atletico Madrid's main players were allowed to rest part of the last game, their physical fitness may be better, but in terms of entering the state and continuity, they will not be as good as now!
This kind of thing has its pros and cons. The key is to see how to arrange it well. When the team is at its peak, try to win as many games as possible. When the team is at its trough, try to reduce losses as much as possible. The most taboo thing is
Just being half-hearted and in a dilemma will only ruin the opportunity in vain.
After the game restarted, Atletico Madrid still defended as quickly as possible, leaving Liverpool to switch to a positional battle. In this case, the rest of the first half passed quickly, and the referee's whistle sounded.
The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of one to one!
"There is still a second half, and it seems that it will not be particularly difficult to win... Liverpool is still worse than Manchester United as a whole, and it is not as difficult as Manchester United to deal with. The most important thing is that they can't attack with our position.
What a great idea!" Dick thought to himself as he walked towards the locker room.
