The opponent's first attack was successful, and it was at the opponent's home court. Atletico Madrid felt tremendous pressure from top to bottom. Head coach Flores called over Czech central defender Uj Falusi and defensive midfielder Paul Asson.
Sang made some explanations...
"Before the game, there was a rumor that Atletico Madrid's generals were at odds. It didn't seem to be groundless. From the beginning to now, even when the goal was conceded, captain Forlan never communicated with the head coach, and Flores did not communicate with the coach through the captain.
The team conveys its own meaning." He Wei has been commentating on La Liga all year round and is relatively familiar with the teams in La Liga.
"The impact of Atletico Madrid's general discord is one aspect, but the goal just now is another classic tactical containment victory. In the Hamburg game we know this season, Elia and Tunaito
Lun partnered with the left and right midfielders and also switched positions, and Berg acted as a powerful winger.
It’s all the first time, but we are all familiar with the tactics of left and right midfielders with reverse footing and strong forwards. In fact, in the first three rounds of the game, the young player Garson played the role of a winger with reverse footing and a strong forward walking wide.
Two attempts..." Duan Xuan has been commentating on the Bundesliga all year round, especially in the past few months, and he knows the Hamburg team well.

When Atletico Madrid kicked off the attack, Flores discovered that Hamburg's defensive position today was also different from before!
Today's Hamburg team's position is more like a 4-3-3. The two full midfielders, Tunai Torun and Elia, are both on the opposite side of the ball, and they are obviously slightly uncomfortable defensively in their respective positions.
The biggest flaw of 4-3-3 is that there is an open area behind the two wingers and in front of the two full-backs. Naturally, Flores does not know these basic tactical principles.
When left midfielder Jurado received the ball, Hamburg's opposing right midfielder Elia actively chased back but did not make a move easily. At the same time, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was standing on the right side of the midfielder, did not come over to intercept the ball.
Jurado took the ball all the way to the baseline, while Boateng kept the distance from Jurado...
It looked like Atletico Madrid had caught Hamburg's left and right midfielders not adapting to defending in unfamiliar positions, but Flores always felt as if Hamburg deliberately gave up the midfield struggle. It seemed that they did not
Don’t be afraid of Atletico Madrid’s wing breakthroughs and attacks!
From Elia to Ruud van Nistelrooy, and then to Boateng, he only defended the inward cut, not the bottom. Jurado made an unobstructed bottom and then passed into the penalty area...
Oh, so that’s what it means... In addition to Forlán and Aguero, the only offensive force in the center is the all-around midfielder Thiago, but there are five players and two center backs who implement defense in the center.
Rosenauer and Matteisson, defensive midfielder Yarolim, and the "double free man" combination of Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Of course, for Flores, he does not have the concept of "double free men". He believes that it is two central defenders, two midfielders and a center that retreats to participate in defense.
It doesn’t matter what you call it, the key is the effect!
Ruud van Nistelrooy pushed the ball down, and Chen Zhuo grabbed the second spot and immediately passed it diagonally to the right. Jurado, who had just completed a breakthrough and pass, quickly returned to the backcourt to defend...
There is still a long distance between the baseline and the backcourt. Elia, who recovered near the midfield, stopped the ball steadily and calmly walked forward along the right. There was no defensive barrier in the midfield. Atletico Madrid left back Lopez
He had no choice but to raise his position and keep a distance to prevent Elijah from using his speed to break through.
At this time, Berg had moved from the winger position to the center. Seeing the opponent's left back Lopez move up, he began to run behind Lopez. Elia also understood it and made a pass...
"Beep~~" Seeing the linesman raising the flag to indicate offside, the referee Weber blew the whistle to stop the game. From his angle, he couldn't see clearly. The linesman saw it very clearly. It was just a millimeter difference.
Czech central defender Ujfalusi moved forward a few tenths of a second earlier...

Get out of the way of the center lane and go to the opponent's wing. This is the "flaw" Chen Zhuolu gave Flores. Ogo and Boateng defend Atletico Madrid's two full-backs Jurado and Raul Garcia.
Defenders Rosenauer and Matthiessen defended Forlan and Aguero respectively. In terms of personal ability, Hamburg's four defenders will not lose to the South American duo plus these two full midfielders.
In terms of cooperation and defense, the line of defense ten meters in front of Rozenar and Matheisen has Yarolim in the center, and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Chen Zhuo on the left and right ribs. This will form a "defense triangle" when defending.
, the Hamburg team will use the "4+3" luxury defense force to block the opponent's offensive.
Of course, Atletico Madrid has other offensive methods, such as left back Lopez or right back Perea, yes! Both sides leave them with sufficient assist channels! But whether they can retreat after attacking, they need to think first.
Think about it!
Fortunately, the Czech defender Ujfalusi was alert for the ball just now, otherwise after Berg broke through from this point, one of Ujfalusi and Domingos would have to cover the side.
When Berg goes to the wing to contain a central defender, who will guard Ruud van Nistelrooy and Chen Zhuo in the middle? When Hamburg defends, it is "4+3", and when it attacks, it is "3+2". Chen Zhuo
Taking turns with Ruud van Nistelrooy, the four midfielders with an average midfield height of 1.74 meters should have difficulty in controlling the air.
This problem was thrown to Flores again. Atletico Madrid's captain Forlan is a forward, and he cannot effectively organize an effective defense in the midfield and backcourt.

In the next attack from Raul Garcia's side, the cross ball was grabbed by Rozenar. When Yarolim controlled the second point, he was violated by Thiago and was whistled for a hamburger by the referee.
Free kick in the backcourt.
Although Atletico Madrid failed to form a threatening shot and attack, this time it finally did not allow the opponent to launch a smooth and quick counterattack.
But Florence doesn’t think so. Such a way of playing is not a problem! After both sides pass down the base, the opponent accumulates heavy troops in the middle. Atletico Madrid is competing for the first and second position.
Not only did the attack fail due to lack of troops, but the opponent took the opportunity to counterattack from their two sides, which was a great threat. In this way, Atletico Madrid's two full-backs would worry about the attack behind them when passing through the wing.
If you defend yourself, you will be timid...
Tried to cut inside, encountered a tough blocker, and the ball was intercepted!
Abandoning the bottom line and directly passing a 45-degree diagonal pass, it had no effect. It was not easy for Forlan and Aguero to grab the landing spot amid the heavy siege of the Hamburg team!
After passing the midfield, he handed the ball to Fran, and he broke through and distributed the ball. It seemed that Fran's breakthrough after getting the ball made it difficult to get rid of the Chinese. In the same way, the numerical advantage in the middle made Fran and
Aguero was trapped in a tight siege and encountered setbacks at every turn.
Increase the offensive force? Let Thiago go up again? After the first attack was almost counterattacked, Flores asked Thiago to focus on defense and not to press too close. This made the subsequent several
Although the attack failed, Hamburg's quick counterattack did not pose much of a threat.
If it hadn't been for the goal conceded more than 2 minutes into the game, the stalemate would have been a stalemate. When the opponent's physical fitness declined, it would be acceptable to consider speeding up to deliver a fatal blow, or even drag it to overtime and a penalty kick. After all,
It's the opponent's home court, but now, Atletico Madrid is one goal behind! Flores can't help but feel a little impatient.
The Hamburg team, which was leading by one goal, was relaxed as usual. The fans in the stands also sang the Hamburg team song easily and applauded the wonderful performance of every Hamburg player. The on-site commentator would also shout out every move.
When the name of a player performs wonderfully, the audience shouts the player's name, then claps three times, shouts again, and claps three times again. The atmosphere on the scene is extremely warm.
