In this game, Dick sent a 4-5-1 lineup. Compared with the previous lineup, the changes were not small. Goalkeeper Molina replaced Toni. On the defense line, Sandy and Chamot partnered as central defenders.
The defender is captain Aguilera, the left back is the young Capdevila, in the midfield, Serena and Baraja serve as double midfielders, Belleron is the front midfielder, and the wings are Argentine Solari and local midfielder
Player Léal, Hasselbaink alone advanced forward.
Goalkeeper Tony, defender Gamarra, forwards Lardin and Kiko are all sitting on the bench. As for the other star in the midfield, the Brazilian Juninho has not yet recovered from his injury. The Brazilian genius
There is no doubt about the degree, but he is too easy to get injured, and this Brazilian is also a bit of a disaster star. In Middlesbrough, the team was relegated, and in Atletico Madrid, he was also relegated. His personal performance was very good, but he could not save the whole team.
.
For Malaga, all the main players are on the field. The top scorer Brazilian Catania is partnered with Uruguayan forward Dario Silva. The midfielders include Rufit, De Santos and Agostinho.
When all the strong players came on the field, it was obvious that Pedro did not want to let Atletico Madrid go easily.
Atletico Madrid players had no confidence at all when they came on the field. You must know that Malaga's performance this season is not bad. Although it is a newly promoted team, it has the strength of a mid-table team. This kind of team is often the most difficult to beat. They have the ability
Their strength and reputation are smaller than their strength, which allows them to put down their airs and fight head-on with each other.
Although they defeated Málaga 3-2 in an away game in the first half of the season, the team's morale was still there at that time. What about now? The entire team is in a mess. Facing the menacing Malaga without any ideological baggage, Málaga
I really don’t have much confidence in the competition...
"Now that you are on the field, let's do what the head coach asks." Many Atletico Madrid players are thinking this way. For a team, the head coach is their soul. Now Dick has just joined.
Although he does not have much prestige, he seems to maintain an extremely high fighting spirit and confidence in winning, which has influenced the players to a great extent.
In the first game, the players on the field naturally had no dissatisfaction with Dick. Even if some players felt that Dick had threatened them and made them unhappy, they did not deliberately go against the team. Generally speaking, this group of players
Even if the players on the field will not play hard for Dick, at least they will not hold Dick back on the court.
And players like Baraja and Molina, who immediately changed from the main substitute to the main player after Dick took office, have to perform better to prove that Dick's reuse of them is not a wrong idea.
As for Beleron... His expression is very calm, but his heart is definitely not as calm as he looks on the surface.
Belleron is a very kind player, but with his strength, he also has inherent pride in his heart. In the Spanish national team, his midfield competitor is Barcelona's Guardiola, but the two of them have different positions.
It's different, so there's no way to compete - now Dick tells him that he also wants to play Guardiola's position, and at the same time can do it better than Guardiola - in this case, Bei immediately ignited.
Lailong’s fighting spirit!
"I will definitely be able to do better than Guardiola, because not only can I organize, but I can also attack forward! This kind of lineup is tailor-made for me - I can't let such a head coach down."
This was Belleron's thought when he stepped onto the court - a very simple and simple thought. Dick had such high praise for him and provided him with such convenience in tactical arrangements. He had to perform well.
Be better!
This was something that even Dick himself had not thought of. His original intention was just to reuse a guy who was more worthy of reuse. Who knew that just by using this method, he gathered a guy who was fully capable of becoming the core of Atletico Madrid's midfield?
The heart of a player? Players like this are extremely rare in later generations...
Dick's tactics for this game were not complicated. He controlled the midfield, with Belleron as the core, Serena protected behind him, Baraja sprinted back and forth, and Hasselbaink waited for an opportunity in the penalty area.
Solari, Capdevila, Leal and Aguilera on both wings took turns taking turns waiting for opportunities to create opportunities.
However, this tactic is to maximize Atletico Madrid's advantage in the midfield. If the midfield can be controlled, then the opportunities that Malaga's two forwards with strong scoring ability will naturally get will be reduced.
Atletico Madrid's offensive opportunities will relatively increase a lot.
Based on the offensive tactics of the midfield, this is Dick's choice - he has only such a choice. What Atletico Madrid wants now is not a draw and one point, only three points and victory are what they urgently need - six games and seven
With a points gap, their opponents are not waiting for them to lose every game. Only by continuing to win can they escape the danger of relegation. Atletico Madrid's current situation is actually quite dangerous!
Atletico Madrid players knew this well, so as soon as the game started, they immediately launched a fierce attack!
In fact, Atletico Madrid also used offensive tactics in the first few games. However, due to luck and low morale, they actually only scored seven goals in the previous ten rounds of the league. No players were eager to attack, but haste was the reason.
The reason for the failure lies within.
In this game, compared with the previous games, there is only one difference, that is, Belleron serves as the core of the midfield organization, using his passing to sort out the midfield, which can at least make Atletico Madrid's offense more efficient.
Be more organized.
You must know that Atletico Madrid's players are all very capable. As long as they can be combined well, they will be among the top six in the league. Otherwise, most of the players will not go to the league after they are relegated.
He joined the top teams in La Liga at the time, such as Belleron went to Deportivo La Coruna, Baraja went to Valencia, Solari went to Real Madrid, and Capdevila and Molina also went to Deportivo.
Runha...these were the top teams in Spain at the time!
Taking advantage of the home court advantage and listening to the almost desperate shouts of Atletico Madrid fans in the stands, Atletico Madrid players also burst out the little courage they had left in their bodies and began to launch waves of attacks!
The so-called Yu Yong is here. Although Atletico Madrid is rotten to the core, some of its pride and heritage as a strong team still remain.
In the president's box of the Calderon Stadium, Old Hill looked at the field with a serious face and remained calm.
Young Hill sitting next to him is quite conflicted. Of course he doesn't want to see the team relegated. He is the management of the club. Most of the property of the Hill family now is Atletico Madrid. If Atletico Madrid is relegated, it means
As the Hill family's wealth shrinks...
However, he didn't want to see this Dick behave better, he hated this guy.
It's just that every time, little Hill always gets frustrated with Dick, and this time is no exception.
After a few minutes of attacking, Atletico Madrid slowly calmed down under Bellelon's pass. Malaga's defense was also very tight, and it was not something that could be achieved by attacking casually.
Belleron received Solari's pass and then looked up to observe the situation in the frontcourt.
Now his position is a little further back than he is used to playing, but Belleron doesn't feel uncomfortable at all - the position is behind him, but his field of vision becomes wider, and he can clearly distinguish what route is.
Which route is suitable for passing the ball, and which route will fail... The boss is right, in this position, I can perform even better!
With an emergency stop and a turn, Belleron controlled the ball on the spot and got rid of a midfielder from the opponent who rushed towards him. Then, while getting rid of it, he passed the ball directly.
"Have you noticed that Belleron's position in this game is a little different from before." The commentator of Spanish National Television said to the guests.
The guest nodded: "Yes, Belleron's previous position was as an attacking midfielder. In the past two seasons, he shared the playing opportunities with Juninho. In this game, Juninho was unable to play due to injury. Basically,
Everyone thinks that Belleron is the attacking midfielder... However, it seems from now on that Belleron's position seems to be further back, organizing in a relatively deep place, while the one who keeps pushing forward is that he has not played many games this season.
Baraja, that is to say..."
"Is Belleron playing Guardiola's position?" The commentator also heard it and couldn't help but gasped.
"That's true." The guest nodded: "With the protection of Serena behind him and the sprint of Baraja beside him, isn't this the configuration of Barcelona's midfield? Even the wings are the same, although Solari and Rai
Yair is far from comparable to Rivaldo and Figo, but his tactics are very close..."
While the commentators were chatting about their new discoveries, Dick was watching the game calmly from the sidelines. Indeed, his tactical arrangement for this game was very close to Barcelona's current tactics, which is that Guardiola organized from behind and surrounded him.
With the protection and forward penetration of Cocu and others, Rivaldo and Figo were on both sides of the frontcourt, and Kluivert advanced - Atletico Madrid just changed a few people.
This is also the best way he can use now. The only forward available is Hasselbaink. He must strengthen the midfielder, and putting five midfielders is a bit wasteful, so two of them can hit the target.
It is also a good idea to have a player who can play as a winger on the field - this is the case with Atletico Madrid now. Even if Leal's strength is generally not satisfactory, he can only make do with it.
After Belleron passed the ball, he did not stop, but began to accelerate forward. Hasselbaink, who retreated, got the ball. The Dutch forward did not break through with the ball. This is not what he is good at.
, he's a pure shooter - so he passes the ball right back.
Because Hasselbain pulled out, Málaga's defense was also a little loose. After Belleron received the ball, the opponent's two midfielders pressed forward at the same time. Belleron's overall view and passing vision were crucial here.
It played an excellent role. In the crowd, he saw that Solari had already inserted from the left, so the moment he caught the ball, Belleron raised his foot and passed the ball out!
This direct pass was as delicate as a scalpel. The moment the fans in the stands saw Belleron being surrounded by the opponent's defenders, the ball had already rolled out of the crowd and then flew to Solari.
forward!
"Nice pass! It's such a joy to watch this kind of pass!"
Many commentators shouted loudly. They were all watching the game at the scene. Looking down from the stands, a small ball flew out of the crowd as if it suddenly appeared, and then landed in a gap.
It is indeed a pleasure to watch this kind of pass in this way!
Solari accelerated from the wing, then received Belleron's pass and began to advance along the wing, while Malaga's defenders began to rush back to defend.
Dick clenched his fist tightly - whether he can open the scoring depends on this blow now!
