Football: King of Midfield! Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are crying

Be it a Manchester United player.

Or coach Louis van Gaal.

Before the game, they expressed how difficult this game was.

Everyone is mentally prepared!

But when the game really starts.

The seriousness of the situation on the field.

Far beyond the imagination of the Manchester United team!

Starting from the first minute.

Atletico Madrid players flooded into the Manchester United half!

Not only pressing the player holding the ball closely.

Teammates next to the player holding the ball.

He was also marked by Atletico Madrid players!

This opening defensive intensity.

This is something the entire Manchester United team has never experienced this season!

At the beginning, Manchester United players.

I thought it was because of the power of Atletico Madrid players sitting at home.

Wanting to gain a head start and put pressure on Manchester United.

After all, many teams play at home.

Because of the familiar turf field.

Plus there are tens of thousands of home team fans in the stands cheering hard.

It’s easy to get the players’ adrenaline pumping.

In a short period of time, you will be highly motivated to compete!

But when it comes to the first half of the game.

Nearly ten minutes have passed.

Atletico Madrid's defensive intensity.

There hasn't been any decline at all, and it's still at the level of close-fitting and tight-fitting!

At this time, the entire Manchester United team realized incredibly.

From the very beginning, Atletico Madrid adopted a high-position pressing state!

And this defensive state is extremely aggressive!

During the opening ten minutes.

6 possessions for Manchester United.

They were all lost under the huge pressure of this high-position press!

Manchester United fans watching the live broadcast of the game at this moment.

Totally stunned!

"What's going on? Isn't Atletico Madrid's defensive intensity a bit outrageous?"

"Atletico Madrid is pressing from a high position! But pressing high from the start of the game?"

"This is a bit too messy!"

"There is no way to attack without this level of close pressing!"

"Oh My God! Posted again! Manchester United's passing ball has no way of getting past halftime!"

"Football is the hottest potato now!"

"Whoever gets the ball will be targeted by Atletico players!"

"And at least two players rushed up to press for it! Who the hell can stand this?"

"It's not just that! There are also Atletico Madrid players moving around the teammates around the Manchester United player holding the ball!"

"In other words, even if a Manchester United player transfers the ball to his teammates around him,"

"There is also the risk of being intercepted by Atletico Madrid players!"

"Damn, Ma Jing's defense is too oppressive!"

"Is this Atletico Madrid’s defensive ability?"

"It feels like the entire team’s defensive enthusiasm has been mobilized!"

"I finally understand why Atletico Madrid has conceded the fewest goals in La Liga for several consecutive seasons!"

"With this kind of defensive intensity, even if Real Madrid and Barcelona meet, it will be very difficult! 930" in the live event room at this time.

Martin Taylor's eyes widened in surprise.

What Argones said just now has made Martin Taylor realize.

Atletico Madrid's defense in this game will definitely be a big problem. Trouble!

But I saw that from the first minute of the opening,

Atletico Madrid implemented high-pressing tactics.

This once again broke Martin Taylor's understanding of the so-called defensive intensity concept!

"It’s so incredible!"

"Atletico Madrid actually adopted a high-pressing defensive tactic from the very beginning!"

"As we all know, high pressing is an extremely complex tactic."

"It's not as simple as just grabbing the ball from the opposing player."

"How many people are there to rob? How long will it take to grab it? How do the surrounding teammates cooperate to steal the ball?"

"If you can't grab it in a short time, how should you maintain the formation next?"

"These various details are enough to make this tactic extremely complicated!"

"Not to mention, football is always being passed and positions are changing."

"The movement of the players on the field is also constantly changing!"

"If you just rob aimlessly"

"You may not be able to grab the ball, but you may also disrupt your formation and be counterattacked by your opponent!"

"We can see that! In Atletico Madrid's high-position press, every player's movement is very subtle!"

"Obviously they have practiced and understood the high pressing tactics"

"It has reached an extremely astonishing level!"

"However, high-position pressing tactics are very physically demanding!"

"Atletico Madrid started with a high press. Can their physical fitness last 90 minutes?"

The face of Argones on the side was quite calm. He seemed not to be surprised at all by Atletico Madrid's high-position pressing tactics.

"In the past two seasons, Simeone's team has become increasingly better at executing high-position pressing tactics."

"When Real Madrid and Barcelona face such tactics"

"You will also feel a headache!"

"Manchester United received such a defensive courtesy from the start"

"It seems that in this game, Simeone is determined to eat Manchester United!"

"As for such a tactic, how can we support our physical fitness for 90 minutes?"

"Don't be stupid, if I remember correctly"

"When Real Madrid and Barcelona deal with such tactics"

"Conceded the goal in the first half!"

"Tactics are flexible, as long as results are achieved"

"Simeone can adjust his tactics immediately to ensure his physical recovery!"

Argones and Simeone are both teachers and friends.

Seeing their juniors using exquisite defensive tactics. (cjej) easily suppressed Manchester United in the half.

This naturally made him feel gratified!

At this time, on the sidelines, Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal.

With an anxious look on his face, he kept shouting instructions towards the field.

"Pass the ball behind!"

"Don't move forward hastily!"

"Steady the rhythm first! Don't be distracted by the opponent's rhythm!"

"Ashley Young! What have you been doing standing on the sidelines! Hurry up to the middle to meet us!"

"We must try our best to increase the receiving points for passing players!"

Van Gaal's heart at this moment.

He was also moved by Atletico Madrid.High pressing tactics on the field.

Completely shocked!

For Manchester United.

The best response currently available.

It is to make the players' movements more concentrated.

In this way, the player holding the ball will have more passing target points.

Give players more passing options.

Not when being pressed high by Atletico Madrid players.

In a hurry, the ball was lost!

Van Gaal's command strategy.

It did have some initial effects.

Simeone on the other side.

We also saw Van Gaal’s sideline command and response methods.

But Simeone at this time.

He smiled with a smile on his face, looking confident.

His eyes were still on the field.

Completely indifferent to Van Gaal's command.

It seems that the situation on the field.

From the beginning of the game, Simeone was already under control! really!

Van Gaal directed the strategy of Manchester United players to focus on their movements.

It was immediately cracked by Atletico Madrid!

Manchester United players make moves.

Stay close to your teammate holding the ball.

Although it can indeed alleviate the difficulty of teammates playing the ball.

But it is precisely because the positions are more concentrated.

The Atletico player who caused the high press.

It has also become more concentrated.

Concentrate a large number of players in a small area.

This actually makes the high-position pressing tactics more efficient!

This puts Manchester United into a new crisis again! crisis situation at this time.

This has already made the entire Manchester United team feel quite bad!

At this time, Atletico Madrid's high-position press became more and more fierce!

The football cannot be passed upfield at all!

Although passing the football in the backcourt can allow Manchester United to temporarily stabilize the ball.

But if this continues, there is still a risk of Atletico Madrid stealing the ball in the backcourt!

This will inevitably lead to even more crazy on-the-spot counterattacks!

Sure enough, what are you afraid of?

18th minute of the first half.

When Carrick connected with Long Fei in the midfield.

By Atletico Madrid in a short period of time.

Direct siege by up to three players!

In a hurry, Carrick's pass was intercepted!

Atletico Madrid immediately showed the terror of pressing and counterattacking from a high position!

Thiago stole the ball and immediately handed the ball to the core midfielder Koke!

Koke played 56 times for Atletico Madrid last season, contributing a total of 8 goals and 18 assists.

This is also the second consecutive season that Cork has reached 15+ assists in a season. There is no doubt that he has grown into the top offensive midfielder in La Liga!

Kirk just glanced. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

A half-high ball was quickly passed.

Passed it to Carrasco who cut inside from the wing!

The latter used speed to tear apart Manchester United's defense!

Before center back Smalling made up the defense, he made a fake shot and passed the ball.

Quickly distribute the ball to the middle!

Griezmann, who had already arrived, did not stop the ball.

Directly take advantage of the trend and volley!

De Gea quickly went to the ground to block.

Although I encountered football.

But it has to be said.

The angle of Griezmann's shot is too tricky!

The ball bounced into the net after hitting De Gea's glove! Atletico Madrid, playing

1-0 at home, took the lead in changing the score on the field! At this moment, the entire Metropolitan Stadium is completely boiling! [] The Manchester United players are looking at each other at this moment! Atletico Madrid's attack just now was smooth and smooth. Pass after breaking the ball. It only lasted less than 10 seconds. It turned into a goal! Obviously, they counterattacked on the spot after successfully pressing the ball high. Regardless of power or efficiency. It has reached a very scary point!

"oh! Atletico Madrid scored!"

"really! Atletico Madrid's high-position press was effective!"

"The speed and purpose with which they switched from defense to offense after stealing the ball was so surprising!"

"After Manchester United was intercepted just now"

"I'm already trying my best to react!"

"But Atletico Madrid's counterattack rhythm is too fast!"

"It’s simply dazzling!"

"Manchester United should take some effective measures!"

"If this continues, it will only become more and more passive!"

As a commentator, although you have to have a relatively neutral stance.

But this game is, after all, a contest between La Liga teams and Premier League teams.

Martin Taylor, as a famous commentator in the Premier League for decades, naturally hopes that Manchester United can win.!

But looking at the current situation on the field, it is really unfavorable for Manchester United!

Argones saw Atletico Madrid scoring at this moment.

He smiled and repeated:

"I have said before, Simeone is very well prepared for this game!"

"Manchester United is very good, but in this game, it will be difficult for them to escape from the Metropolitan Stadium!"

At this moment, on the court, captain Rooney's face was very ugly.

As an experienced top star,

Rooney could clearly feel that

Manchester United was in a huge crisis at this time!

The team could not successfully play the ball.

The backcourt was under the opponent's high pressure.

There is also the risk of conceding a goal and being hit by a counterattack!

If we don’t change the status quo

, the second conceding goal might come soon!

"Long Fei!"

Rooney looked at Long Fei.

He wanted to find a way to overcome the current crisis!

As the core of Manchester United's midfield attack, Long Fei has now gained the full trust of the Manchester United players.

Captain Rooney also believes that

Long Fei, who has a big heart, can Reliable!

At this time, Long Fei was also weighing the situation of the current game in his mind!

The more crisis he encountered, the more tough he should be! Carrying the team!

Long Fei turned to his defensive teammates and said:

"Just pass the ball to me later!"

Then Long Fei looked at Rooney again and pointed in the direction of the frontcourt.

Rooney nodded, naturally understanding what Long Fei meant!

The game was restarted by Manchester United in the midfield!

The kick-off had just begun.

Atletico Madrid players once again seemed like The tide is rushing up!

It seems that only a one-goal lead is not enough to satisfy the appetite of the Atletico Madrid team!

They still insist on the high-pressing tactics. They want to continue to expand the score on the field!

Amidst the crazy pressing of Atletico Madrid players.

The football was once again passed backwards by a Manchester United player.

At this time, Long Fei suddenly chose to move quickly into the backcourt.

Long Fei's position in the Manchester United formation is the central midfielder.

Under normal circumstances, the position of the defender is not far away. Not close.

There was midfielder Carrick in the middle.

But this time, Long Fei ran directly to the center back Smalling!Continuous observations during the first half.

Constrained by Atletico Madrid's full-court press.

In the process of Manchester United passing the ball back to a teammate.

Smalling at center back.

He is the player who has the ball the most.

So approach him.

It is the most efficient position to get the ball!

The reason why Long Fei pursues efficiency in getting the ball is.

It's because he noticed it a long time ago.

Next to him, there are two Atletico Madrid players, ready to make a move!

And these two players.

It was before the game.

Simeone arranged to keep a close eye on Long Fei's Gabi and Diego!

When Long Fei moved back to ask for the ball.

Simeone on the sidelines.

Not only did he not take Long Fei's running to heart.

He also felt that Long Fei’s actions were all within his expectations!

In Simeone's opinion.

Long Fei's current running position is imitating the solution in the game against Chelsea!

In that game, Chelsea midfielders Matic and Mikel closely monitored Long Fei.

Just at this moment, Long Fei is in a difficult position being closely guarded by Gabi and Diego!

That game against Chelsea.

Long Fei got rid of the defense.

But today, I’m afraid it’s not that simple!

In a high position pressing situation.

The other player can only choose to pass back to avoid his edge.

In such a situation, the player in the central defender position is naturally the one who gets the most ball!

Simone had already figured this out!

So he is very clear now.

The location Long Fei ran to was exactly close to Smolin!

At this time, there were already two Atletico Madrid players.

One step ahead of Long Fei!

Blocked Smalling's passing lanes!

These two players are none other than others.

It is Atletico Madrid's two forwards, Torres and Griezmann!

At this time, Atletico Madrid showed their high-position pressing tactics.

The most chilling feature!

That is, all the players are running all the time!

Manchester United believed that Long Fei could get rid of Gabi and Diego and receive the pass from the defender.

As everyone knows, Atletico Madrid's two forwards are closer to Smalling's position!

Directly blocking the possibility of Manchester United passing the ball to Long Fei from the backcourt!

Just as Simeone thought.

At this time, Long Fei was at his wits end.

He was surprised to find out.

Long Fei passed directly through Smolin.

Run closer to the Manchester United goal!

What is this keel player going to do?!

Just when Simeone was extremely surprised.

But it was discovered that the football at this time had not reached the feet of center back Smalling at all.

Instead, it was passed directly back to goalkeeper De Gea!

At this time, Long Fei ran to De Gea's position and took the ball directly!

Go directly to the goalkeeper's pass?!

Under normal circumstances, a midfielder is deep enough to get the ball.

Being able to come to the defender is quite enough!

And it is extremely rare for Long Fei to come directly to the goalkeeper like this!

But Simone suddenly woke up!

Shouting directly at two Atletico forwards:"Don't let him get the ball!"

It's not normal to directly receive the ball from the goalkeeper.

But getting the ball in this position is very safe!

For Long Fei: the long pass environment is perfect!.
