When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Deportivo fans were quite unconvinced - because they did not lose the total score, but lost to the rules - and Atletico Madrid regained a point.
After that, Deportivo launched a series of fierce attacks, but no longer had the same luck as before. Pauleta once had a good chance in the penalty area, but missed it due to the interference of Gamarra, who was filling in.
, the final score was two to one, Deportivo won and lost the championship...
Atletico Madrid players celebrated their first championship of the new season at the Riazor Stadium, and when shaking hands with Irueta, Dick shrugged: "It seems that my luck is indeed good..."
Irueta smiled bitterly and shook his head. Of course he knew that neither side was in the best condition in these two games, and Deportivo's performance was still better, but it was Atletico Madrid who won the championship in the end - this is another
What can be said? Dick's luck does seem better than his. Football is round...
“In a game that was absolutely at a disadvantage, Dick’s Atletico Madrid relied on a lucky goal from Jardel and lost 2-1 to Deportivo La Coruna, thereby winning the Spanish Super Cup. To this
I have only one word to evaluate this game: ugly. Throughout the game we could only see Atletico Madrid constantly defending, and then relying on an inexplicable attack to score a goal and the final victory. Looking back, Atletico Madrid
Many of the wins after Dick took office last season were obtained in this way. We have to admit that Dick is a coach with incredible luck, but can a team be brought to the top by relying on luck? So
I think we don’t need to look for good coaches everywhere, it would be better to directly develop a luck tester..."
It is a pity that Mr. Rodriguez's second column was once again ignored by Dick, because Dick does not buy "World Sports News" at all. He reads many newspapers every day, but basically...
Marca is the main newspaper. As a professional sports newspaper that can rank among the top ten media in Spain, Marca contains more information and helps Dick understand the current Spanish football better.
After winning the Spanish Super Cup, Dick was quite happy. At least it was an unexpected surprise, because he did not expect to win the Spanish Super Cup, but he won the championship due to some accidental factors.
——Whether it's luck or not, who won the championship without a little bit of luck? Dick doesn't care about this, all he cares about is that his resume is better, and this is his future capital!
After the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid's new season is getting closer and closer. On August 29, the draw ceremony for the European Champions Cup and the UEFA Cup will begin in Monaco. Atletico Madrid will directly participate in the first round of the UEFA Cup.
's team.
There are quite a few strong teams participating in the UEFA Cup this time - Serie A includes strong teams such as Inter Milan, Roma, Parma, Fiorentina and Udinese, which were eliminated from the Champions League. In the Premier League, there are Chelsea and
Liverpool, in addition to Atletico Madrid, there are Zaragoza, Celta Vigo, Rayo Vallecano and Alaves in La Liga, and Hertha Berlin, Stuttgart and Werder Bremen are in Bundesliga. These teams are not easy to play.
, plus strong teams such as Porto and Boavista of Portugal, Ajax of the Netherlands, Celtic of Scotland, CSKA Moscow of Russia, although there were a total of ninety-six teams participating in the first round.
team, but the chance of these strong teams meeting is not small.
However, Atletico Madrid's luck is pretty good. Their opponent is the Slovenian team Ljubljana, which is not a strong team. Atletico Madrid first played away from home, and then returned to home - the first leg of the game was in September.
Conducted on the 14th.
After the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid will usher in a period of rest. Of course, after September 2nd, the team's international players will go to participate in the training camp of the national team - this time Atletico Madrid has a lot of international players.
Molina, Belleron and Baraja were all selected for the Spanish national team, Cruz was selected for the Argentina national team, Makelele was also selected for the French national team this time with Thuram, plus members of the Paraguay national team.
Mara, Yugoslavia national team member Paunovic, Czech national team member Beybul and Uruguay national team member Correa, a full ten players left the training camp, but fortunately, the frontcourt players
Most of them have been retained, and basic training can still be guaranteed.
Of course, Dick didn't have much to do about this situation, but his opponent in the first round of the league was the mid-to-lower team Real Oviedo, which was also Atletico Madrid's relegation opponent last season. It was so chaotic last season.
Being able to defeat the opponent under any circumstances, there will naturally not be too many problems in this match.
After the players returned from the national team, Dick spent a few more days training - but in the first game of the new season, he made big changes to his tactics.
"Juan, you rest for this game."
Dick said to Belleron the day before the game: "In this game, I want to see how the team performs with other formations."
Looking at Belleron's somewhat surprised face, Dick laughed: "Don't worry, you must know that in my mind, you are the most unshakable core of the team... But there is no need to worry now, your physical condition is
Not too good, I need you to have a good rest... The opponents in the next two games are not strong, so we don’t need to use too complicated tactics."
Belleron nodded. His physical fitness was indeed average. Although he didn't play many games in the European Cup, he was physically exhausted a lot. Now he was dragged to the national team again. Dick asked him to have a good rest.
It is also a kind of protection for him.
Of course, casually saying that the core should rest for two games without any reason will not work. Dick also needs to explain to Belleron in advance - this can be regarded as a way to preserve strength and practice the second set of tactics to some extent. After all,
Atletico Madrid cannot conquer the world with just one set of tactics.
When Dick announced the next day's lineup in the locker room, Atletico Madrid players were a little surprised.
There are basically no changes in other positions, except that Belleron was removed from the midfielder and Cruz and Jardel were paired together, which is a combination of double centers and a parallel midfield position.
"The two wings are mainly used, seize the opportunity and deliver the ball to the center. The two full-backs should also be more active, boldly assist, and defend the teammates behind you. Real Oviedo is far from our opponent, we have to do
The goal is to score more goals in the game! Got it? Use your offense to destroy their defense and win this game!"
Dick did not give them time to think, but waved his hand vigorously. In his opinion, as long as he used the breakthrough ability of the two wings and the ability to grab points in the middle, it would be enough to defeat Real Oviedo. If
Facing a team like Real Oviedo, which cannot use simple and crude tactics to defeat its opponent with strength advantage, then this Atletico Madrid has no future at all...
The two may not be top-notch, but they are definitely top-notch centers. Both sides have their own unique offensive wings. With this configuration, it is easiest to score goals with this simple and crude tactic. Dick just wants to see it.
How far can their personal abilities reach? Of course, the overall organization is needed to cooperate with the offense, but the personal abilities that can be displayed on the court are also very important. Atletico Madrid currently does not have the traditional ability to dribble the ball to solve the offense on its own.
Players need to pay more attention to the coordination between each other. The two wings are mainly used to provide firepower in the middle. Although the tactic is simple, it pays great attention to coordination.
The first round of the league was at home, so Atletico Madrid fans quickly discovered that there was no Belleron in the lineup...
"What is Dick thinking? Whether it was the warm-up match or the two Spanish Super Cups, Belleron was the main player. Why did he change players on the spot? Is Belleron injured?"
"Belleron was sitting on the bench with a very calm expression... Maybe he was injured, or Dick hid him in order to prepare for the UEFA Cup game? This is too outrageous. The Slovenian team can give Atletico Madrid
What impact will it have? This is really a joke..."
Various commentators commented on Dick's lineup, but Dick ignored it. After greeting the fans in the stands, he began to concentrate on watching the game from his seat.
Despite the lack of Belleron, Atletico Madrid played well on the court - although there was no Belleron to distribute the ball in the middle, Atletico Madrid played a little simpler, with Baraja and Makelele in the middle.
The ball is then handed to the wing, and then the players on the wing are allowed to cooperate to form a breakthrough on the wing. The two big men, Cruz and Jardel, are constantly running back and forth, looking for opportunities.
Capdevila has good passing skills, and Aguilera's breakthrough ability is also quite good. With Vicente and Camoranesi on the wing, Atletico Madrid can move quickly on the wing.
Just gained the upper hand.
It’s not that Real Oviedo doesn’t want to strengthen the defense on the wings, but for them, if they want to strengthen the defense on the wings, the defense of the two centers in the center will be weakened. As long as there are one or two good passes on the wings, they will
It's hard to hold on - they can't afford to take this kind of risk.
Dick didn't use any magic tactics, he was just overwhelming people. In fact, it is very simple to deal with this kind of attack, because Atletico Madrid's scoring method is followed by shots from the center, and there are not even many attacks from behind.
Because Baraja's position is further back, it is not that easy to keep an eye on Jardel and Cruz.
These two are both big men close to 1.9 meters, and their foot skills are relatively good. Not only are they passing the ball in the air or passing the ball on the ground, they can often grab the ball and form an offense quickly.
, the goalkeeper of Real Oviedo became the most painful person on the field.
Just after saving Jardel's header, Cruz's shot from the penalty area was ushered in. Camoranesi and Vicente also cut in from time to time to show off their shots. If it weren't for the defenders' desperate efforts,
In terms of defense, if he directly faces Atletico Madrid's offense, no matter how good he is, he can't prevent Atletico Madrid from shooting.
However, this kind of persistence did not last long. If Atletico Madrid's offense was just rushing and hitting, it might not be able to break through the opponent's door. However, although Atletico Madrid's two forwards are both big men, they are very good at shooting.
A rather cunning existence.
In the 21st minute, Vicente passed down the base at high speed and passed a very fast high-altitude ball. Jardel jumped high in the middle to attract the attention of the opponent's defender, but he did not hit the ball.
The ball fell directly to the feet of Cruz at the back point. After receiving the ball, Cruz made an emergency stop, then quickly kicked back to dodge the opponent's defender, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper and calmly pushed the inside of his left foot far away.
horn!
When the ball flew into the opponent's goal, huge cheers from Atletico Madrid fans rang out in the stands!
