Chapter 556 The price of letting him fall

"AC Milan is the best team in the history of the Champions League. They have won 7 championship trophies. Compared with their splendid history, we can only be regarded as elementary school students..."

In his pre-match press conference, Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone was humble enough to express his opinion.

But this stubble-faced "handsome bandit" had no intention of admitting defeat. He changed the subject:

"However, I have always believed that past trophies and achievements have no reference significance for the game that has not yet started, otherwise we would not need to come to Milan to challenge. I hope that in tomorrow's game, the world can see a tenacious team Atletico Madrid!"

"I very much agree with the head coach. The stronger the opponent, the stronger our combat effectiveness will be."

Player representative and striker Diego Costa is also very confident:

"That's right, AC Milan is playing at home, and they still have two Golden Globe players in their team, but we still have the confidence to beat them!"

-

Atletico Madrid's statement is not a bluff. With their state this season, even Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona cannot underestimate them.

Under the leadership of Argentine coach Simeone, this Atletico Madrid team has perfected their tactical style after more than two seasons of running-in.

As a civilian team without too many big-name players, Atletico Madrid's main tactics are high-position pressing and defensive counterattack. The powerful midfield and backcourt linkage defensive tactics make up for the lack of personal ability, strict discipline and efficient teamwork. Execution makes them look more like a ruthless iron-blooded army, and in such an iron army, fierce defense is even more indispensable.

"Their offense often starts from two sides, especially the left side, which is often the focus of the offense, and the cooperation between several players is very smooth, and the skills are relatively delicate, so I ask the two full-backs to do a good job first. Defense."

Allegri is giving his team the final pre-match emphasis:

"No one can dribble the ball too much in the midfield. Everyone must be in constant running at any time. Whether it is attacking or defending, remember to form a small coordination area and not fall into the trap of individual combat. Situation. Because Atletico Madrid is very good at creating a numerical advantage in a local area, so that the players with the ball are surrounded, so our ball must be resolute and fast. I would rather you take a long shot than be counterattacked by the opponent ..."

The game is about to start, and the tactical arrangement has been rehearsed many times in the past few days, so Allegri didn't talk nonsense, he just said a few key points and walked out of the locker room. Added a small stove.

For example, the goalkeeper coach will tell Abbiati about the shooting habits of Villa and Costa, and Tassotti will tell Balotelli how to deal with Atletico Madrid's defenders...

As a defensive coach, Gattuso is emphasizing the characteristics of Atletico Madrid forwards to the two central defenders Mex and Bonera:

"Villa has played in Barcelona for several seasons, he was injured, so he is afraid of confrontation, but pay attention to the movement range, be careful that he dives in the penalty area; and Costa is a dirty striker, he will constantly use concealment. Actions and swear words irritate you, never let him lead you into a pit..."

Gattuso suddenly stopped.

As a Milan star who has just retired, he is of course familiar with his old teammates. In all fairness, he doesn't think Bonera and Mex can keep their heads clear for 90 minutes in the game.

So he changed his words:

"If you have the chance, get him out!"

Bonera and Mex suddenly showed stunned expressions.

This... can have!

-

"With the entry of Simeone into Atletico Madrid, this original middle and upper reaches of La Liga has suddenly emerged. In just two seasons, it has almost formed a tripartite rivalry with Barcelona and Real Madrid. This season has been extremely obvious. Real Madrid and Barcelona have not lost at all in the confrontation results, and they still maintain the number one position in the standings..."

Zhan Tianjun is introducing AC Milan's opponent - because Milan has no need to introduce at all...

"Some media compare Atletico Madrid with Dortmund in the previous two seasons, because there are indeed many similarities between the two. They are both based on defense and use active running to cut the pitch space. The forwards in the field also rely heavily on the attack from the wing, Zhang Zhi, do you think this comparison is appropriate?"

Zhan Tianjun is not a commentator who is particularly good at analyzing tactics, so he handed over this part to his partner.

Zhang Lu pondered for a moment, and then said:

"This comparison still has some truth, but if you analyze it carefully, the styles of the two teams are still different.

Dortmund relies more on defensive counterattacks. They need to speed up the pace of the game in order to get more offensive opportunities. Atletico Madrid will not deliberately pursue fast advancement. They may play some good small technical cooperation locally to advance.

In addition, Dortmund's offense puts more emphasis on the whole. Their defenders and midfielders often advance forward, while Atletico Madrid's defensive players rarely participate in the offense. The reason why Jing’s defense is impregnable…”

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally did not speak out.

Zhan Tianjun finished speaking for him:

"Zhang Zhi must want to say that Atletico Madrid's defense is more vicious and dirtier than Dortmund's, right?"

Zhang Lu laughed:

"Hey Hey……"

-

"Ricky, and Stephen, be careful not to get hurt."

Long Shute reminded his teammates for the last time.

Kaka and Shalawi are both his teammates who used cheats to get back healthy. Of course, he is reluctant to let them be scrapped again...

But Balotelli was a little unhappy. While straightening his shorts, he lowered his head and muttered:

"Why don't you care about me? I'm the one who just came back from injury, right?"

-

"drop!"

No one would have expected that the first person to fall down... was not Kaka, Shalawi, or Balotelli, but Long Shute who was like an iron man this season!

The game lasted less than 6 minutes, and Long Shute was viciously brought down by Atletico Madrid midfielder Gabi on the top of the penalty area!

This was originally a lightning phantom that Long Shute was bound to win. First-class defensive players such as Yaya Toure, Kompany, and Bonucci had nothing to do, but the slightly thin Atletico Madrid The captain took the first step and stretched out his left leg, tripping the Milan 8 that was starting up to the ground!

It's not that Gabi has a beast's intuition or a sixth sense beyond ordinary people. He didn't see through Long Shute's intentions at all, but just closed his eyes and blindfolded him!

But he was right!

With Long's special explosive power, such a sudden external disturbance was enough to make him lose his balance. Fortunately, he turned over and rolled at the first time, and relieved most of the inertial momentum on his body, which prevented him from falling directly to the ground. danger……

He was not injured, but he still felt a bit out of breath, so he had to lie on the penalty area line and take a little breath.

Allegri on the sidelines suddenly jumped up from the coach's bench as if someone had exploded his ass!

If Long Shute was injured and left the field in the 6th minute, he really doesn't know how to play this game!

In the Milan team...is there any player who can replace Long Shute? !

There are more than 7 million people who think like him, and more than [-] home fans booed the captain of Atletico Madrid to express their dissatisfaction, and at the same time put pressure on the referee.

The focus of this battle between Spain and Italy was whistled by the referee Felix Brusch from Germany. He is a key training object of the German Football Association. He is a real doctor of laws...

With a rigorous German character and a doctorate in law, he certainly would not turn a blind eye to such an obvious foul. The captain of Atletico Madrid undoubtedly received a yellow card and received a stern warning:

"Pay attention to your movements, sir, there will be no next time!"

-

When Long Shute stood up from the turf and signaled that he was fine, his teammates, coaches on the sidelines, fans in the stands, and supporters in front of the TV all heaved a sigh of relief.

Even Zhan Tianjun, who has always been praised as "truly objective and neutral", is no exception:

"Fortunately, Long Shute seems to be fine. He even signaled to Balotelli and Kaka that he will take the free kick himself..."

Balotelli's free kick level is actually quite good, especially since this season, because he is worried that Long's special ball dominance will explode and grab his position as the first penalty shooter, Balotelli has also specially practiced this skill. Skills, and Long Shute had never fought with him in ordinary games, so such a thing never happened between the two of them.

But this time Long Shute was only standing at the penalty spot, and Super Mario could only back away obediently.

A real boss doesn't need to speak at all, his teammates will stand behind him spontaneously.

This has nothing to do with ball bullying or cancer, but because everyone agrees with his leadership and core position in the team.

Long Shute is not distrustful of Balotelli's free kick level, but he wants to tell Gabi and Atletico Madrid players with a goal:

Want to stop me with a foul?

Then come on!

-

Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper is Courtois, who is on loan from Chelsea. The 22-year-old Belgian star has shown potential that is not inferior to any of his peers. He is considered to have been honed by Atletico Madrid after De Gea Another top goalkeeper.

Courtois, who is 1.9 meters tall, has a huge coverage and excellent goal-line skills. Whether it is a high-altitude ball or a ground ball, he can't beat him with a quick response.

But when Long Shute made an arc with the inner instep of his right foot, Courtois' heart suddenly sank!

His first reaction was of course to jump towards the near goal post, but after crossing the human wall, the arc suddenly circled towards the far goal post in the high air as if being drawn by a mysterious force!

Courtois could only stand five or six meters away... watching the ball fly into the net!

1-0!

AC Milan took the lead in the 8th minute!

Amidst the roaring tsunami at the San Siro Stadium, Long Shute, the goal hero, was as calm as ever.

He just patted the team logo on his chest, then bared his teeth at Gabi who was in the crowd.

If you think the free kick was luck...you can try again?

The price of making me fall...can you afford it?
