While Atletico was concentrating on passing the ball back and forth on the court, Flores noticed that something seemed wrong.
Because Atletico Madrid did not show a trace of impatience, especially Flores who vaguely felt that they seemed to be more interested in passing back and forth than scoring goals...
Is this the way a normal team should play? Flores almost felt that he was delusional, because in such a final, if you want to win, you have to score goals, especially against a team with superior strength.
This is exactly the case for the team. Why do Atletico Madrid's players just focus on passing the ball around, instead of finding ways to hit the opponent's goal?
If a team can pass and pass, and then suddenly launch an attack and score a goal, this is almost impossible, even for the Barcelona team that pushed ball control to the extreme in later generations. They are just
The ball possession rate is relatively high, but the number of attacks is not many at all. But now? Atletico Madrid has been passing the ball back and forth for ten minutes. They have let go of some half-and-half offensive opportunities, and they seem to find an absolute chance.
Attack only when there is a chance to score...
But how can there be an absolute chance to score on the football field! If you don’t try, you will never know what the final result of this attack will be. If you just wait for the absolute chance, you may not be able to wait until the end of the whole game.
!
This approach is not so much that Atletico Madrid wants to win with goals, but that they also want to drag the game to overtime or even penalty kicks to decide the outcome - this is the Spaniard's goal in this game.
The highest strategy. However, because the Spaniard knows that his overall strength and the personal abilities of his stars are slightly inferior to his opponents, he will find a way to drag the game to a penalty shootout, so that he can maximize the strength gap between Atletico Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
, why would Atletico Madrid do this?
"Did they also practice penalty kicks and want to rely on penalty kicks to decide the outcome with us? This is too biased..." Flores thought speechlessly, and now he began to find that Dick was a little difficult.
It’s annoying, because a guy who always plays cards unconventionally is not scary, but a guy who always plays cards unconventionally and still wins is a bit scary...
Just when Flores was in a state of confusion, Atletico Madrid suddenly launched an attack.
After receiving the pass from Belleron, Juninho pretended to pass the ball to the left to follow Solari, but he quickly knocked the ball into the penalty area and broke through!
The nerves of the Spanish defenders were quite tense at this time. Even when Juninho really started to break into the penalty area, many of them breathed a sigh of relief - finally here!
Therefore, the Spaniard's defense quickly responded correctly. Two defenders rushed towards Juninho, while their Argentine central defender Pochettino followed Hasselbaink closely.
, not wanting this top shooter to have any opportunity to take advantage of him.
Under such correct treatment, Juninho could only choose to shoot directly. The ball was easily saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Moura. Hasselbaink wanted to rush forward and shoot, but the opponent did not let go...
In the process of rushing forward, Hasselbaink and Pochettino continued to confront each other, and finally lost their balance and fell forward. The referee did not make a penalty, and the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands booed.
Seeing Moura get the ball, Atletico Madrid players immediately rushed back like a tide to prevent the opponent from quickly counterattacking. Seeing this, Moura did not want to immediately launch an attack with a long pass, but
He slapped the ball on the ground twice and waited for all the players to press on before organizing an attack.
Hasselbaink sat on the ground and stretched out his hand to indicate that the opponent had committed a foul. Seeing that the referee ignored him, he reluctantly got up from the ground and slowly walked towards the outside of the penalty area.
Moura seemed to have ignored that there was a Dutch shooter behind him. After taking two shots of the ball, he threw the ball forward, and then planned to kick the ball away...
When he threw the ball, Hasselbaink happened to walk by him. Seeing the ball fly out, the Dutchman suddenly took a step forward and then tipped the ball.
Come down!
If Moura was shooting the ball on the lawn, then Hasselbaink would have committed a foul because it was within the control of the goalkeeper. However, in the current situation, Moura threw the ball away - even if
It was just thrown and Hasselbaink pushed it down, which is not a foul. If Hasselbaink stretched out his feet, it might be considered that he raised his feet too high, but he just pushed the ball with his head.
Come down...
Feeling a black shadow passing in front of him, Maura was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned pale with shock - he realized where his mistake was!
The panicked Moura immediately rushed over, hoping to continue to get the ball, but after Hasselbaink tipped the ball down, he quickly controlled the ball, then passed the ball sideways and passed directly from Moura.
He walked over to La's side!
Moura fell to the ground and wanted to pounce on the ball midway, but Hasselbaink had already moved the ball forward and dodged Moura's stretched out hand. Then he jumped up and avoided Moura.
He pulled the hand trying to commit a foul, and then strode towards the ball!
The shocked Spanish defenders began to run back desperately, but they were too late!
"Oh oh oh oh! Moura made a stupid mistake! He was intercepted by Hasselbaink... The Dutch rushed towards the ball. Although the angle was now small, he had enough
time..."
This is indeed the case. Hasselbaink almost caught up with the ball near the baseline, but now the Spanish defender closest to him could barely reach the penalty spot, and the Dutch kicked the ball back.
Once, then push the right foot easily from a small angle...
The ball flew into the goal without any suspense!
Then Hasselbaink started to turn around and run wildly around the stadium!
"Goal in! Hasselbaink! Atletico took the lead in the tenth minute! They were so lucky, Moura made a terrible mistake and allowed Hasselbaink to score such a goal
Opportunity! This is a huge blow to the Spaniards!"
When the cheers of the Atletico fans in the stands and the yelling of the Espanyol fans rang out, the Atletico coaching bench was already in jubilation. No matter whether the goal was scored with a lot of luck or not, it was a goal if it was scored.
Yes, if they are ahead, they are ahead. They have taken a solid step towards winning the King's Cup!
Dick waved his fist, but murmured in his heart: "Damn, can it be that using goal cards can only get goals that seem to have a lot of luck? This is too cheating! If this continues, I will
You won’t be thought of as a head coach who only relies on luck!”
But to be honest, I am very happy to be ahead of Dick. As for whether others will say that he is a head coach who only relies on luck... Damn, which top coach has won top honors without luck? It's not the magic at the end.
In three minutes, why did Ferguson lead Manchester United to win the Triple Crown? So what if I was lucky? If you have the ability, just be lucky!
So Dick went to celebrate with peace of mind...
He was celebrating happily here, but Flores on the other side was in an extremely bad mood.
He didn't feel that Dick used that tactic just to wait for the lucky ball to appear. He just felt that he figured out why Dick did it - that is, to stabilize his midfield and reduce the Spaniard's chances of counterattack.
Next, he bet that the Spaniard's defense would make mistakes through offense...and he really got the bet right. I'm afraid no one thought of this before!
"He is really a deviant guy... Now that we are lagging behind, it is very disadvantageous for us. Should we press forward and attack? Their counterattack is also very sharp..."
After thinking carefully for a long time, Flores decided to let the team launch a counterattack - otherwise, losing the ball would be too damaging to morale. If the counterattack is not launched immediately, the team's morale will only become less and less.
, until I have no intention of fighting anymore.
As for whether Atletico Madrid will use counterattacks to deal with the Spaniard, Flores is not very worried about this. In fact, Atletico Madrid's counterattacks are not particularly outstanding. In the two games against Valencia and Barcelona, they
In fact, the counterattacks were a bit messy, and I don't know how I scored. No matter how lucky the team is, it is impossible to stay lucky forever.
At least Flores doesn't believe that Atletico Madrid's luck will continue to get better... What if it really gets better? Then admit defeat, or at worst, start over next season...
So after Atletico Madrid players finished celebrating, the Spaniards who restarted the game immediately launched a ferocious counterattack under the command of Flores.
The Spaniard's offensive ability is still good. After all, their foothold in La Liga relies on offense rather than defense, so after launching a counterattack, their momentum once suppressed Atletico Madrid. Tamudo looked for opportunities in the penalty area, and Vela
Marsan is constantly organizing in the midfield, while Gakar and DeLucas are looking for opportunities on the wings. Although this attack is not complicated, the effect is still quite useful.
Atletico Madrid began to shrink its defense slightly to resist the opponent's fierce attack. Dick looked at the Spaniards who launched waves of attacks, but he was not anxious at all - this kind of attack will not last long, as long as he blocks this attack
By attacking in waves, and then waiting for opportunities to counterattack twice, you can continue to take the initiative in your own hands.
Atletico Madrid has so many players with outstanding personal abilities in the frontcourt. One or two personal breakthroughs are enough to make the opponent's formation retreat again... What is there to worry about?
Sure enough, after resisting the opponent's attack for seven or eight minutes, Atletico Madrid immediately found an opportunity. Chamot pushed the opponent's cross, and Belleron immediately handed the ball to Juninho in front. Brazil.
With the ball at his feet, he made two consecutive sudden stops and turned around to avoid two presses from the opponent's midfielder. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Atletico Madrid's midfielders had already come up to respond, and Atletico Madrid took advantage of the situation to regain control of the midfielder.
right.
Next, there are constant passes back and forth, controlling the midfield, and improving the ball possession rate...
In the ten minutes or so of the first half, the Atletico Madrid players began to quickly adapt to this style of play and even became a little addicted to it - constantly passing the ball back and forth, allowing the opponent to grab it.
You can't get it even if you come and go... Damn, this feels so good. I brought the walking monkey from the training ground directly to the court...
"Using the superior technical advantage at his feet, he takes the initiative through passing back and forth, and is not in a hurry to attack... This tactic is rarely used by teams. Now it seems that if it is like this when leading
It's really an unsolvable practice... At least if the opponent wants to counterattack, they need to press up and lure the opponent's backcourt to become wider..."
"It's all because Atletico Madrid is ahead. If Atletico Madrid were not ahead, they wouldn't be able to kill time so unscrupulously. That goal was so lucky..."
