Chapter 469 New Lineup (Fifth Change)
Chapter 471 New Lineup
With the introduction of five players, for Gao Bo, this is almost enough.

He feels that his lineup is strong enough, and the depth of the bench is not bad!
Therefore, even if the players have not returned from the holiday at this time, he also announced that Atletico Madrid's transfer window is closed!
Atletico Madrid has also become the fastest team in European football to complete the transfer work for a season.

This has always been Gao Bo's style. He rarely pursues those big-name players, because most of these players need to argue with their original clubs for a long time. Sometimes the entire transfer window may be busy, but in the end they get nothing.

For Gao Bo, he knows which unpopular players are available for him to tap, so he doesn't need to focus on player introduction.

And now the announcement that the transfer window is closed has another meaning-Atletico Madrid is not just not buying people anymore, they are not selling people anymore!

Those teams that are eyeing Atletico Madrid players, die as soon as possible!
Atletico Madrid will not accept any further player transfer negotiations.

Of course, if there is a local tyrant who directly pays the liquidated damages, then Atletico Madrid will naturally have nothing to do.

In order to prevent the opponent from digging corners like this, the liquidated damages of Atletico Madrid players are very high. If the opponent really pays the liquidated damages and the players are willing to go, Gao Bo is also happy to see the result-he can find a replacement player in the transfer market at any time.

After Gao Bo announced the end of the transfer, most of the media were still very shocked by Atletico Madrid's work efficiency. Other teams have not started their summer transfer work, and Atletico Madrid has already handed in their homework ahead of schedule.

Alba is the transfer bid king of Atletico Madrid this season, and Alba can be regarded as a talented player who can play in La Liga. Therefore, the media are not surprised by Atletico Madrid's introduction of Alba.

As for the signing of the central defender, many media still raised objections.

Atletico Madrid let go of Pereira and Ujfalusi, and then brought in Miranda and Lucio.

Lucio is 32 years old, and Miranda has no previous experience in European leagues.

It may be a risk for Atletico Madrid to replace Pereira and Ujfalusi with two players.Pereira and Ujfalusi, they know more about La Liga anyway, and they have enough experience, so they are very suitable as substitutes.

If Gao Bo paid attention to what the media was saying, he would definitely scoff.

If the two veterans don't leave, he doesn't need to use his brains on the central defender... They want to leave themselves, and Atletico Madrid has no reason to stop them.

Carvajal has no experience in the top league at all, he has only played in the sub-level leagues.

Two midfielders left, but only one Gabi was bought. Atletico Madrid will play in the Champions League next season. Isn't this midfield configuration a bit weak?

Although Atletico Madrid's main lineup has not changed, the Spanish media generally believe that Atletico Madrid's bench strength has declined. It would be fine if Atletico Madrid does not play in the Champions League.

The Spanish media believes that Gao Bo went too smoothly last season, and he has no experience in playing in the Champions League, which made him misjudge.

"Admittedly, we must admit that last season in the league, Gao Bo's team performed perfectly, but this season, the situation may be different for Atletico Madrid, because they will participate in the European war. Last season, Atletico Madrid did not experience the test of injuries. This season, if Atletico Madrid is going to fly all over Europe, travel fatigue, and fight on the third line, injuries are inevitable. This will test the depth of their bench!"

"Letting Antonio Lopez go is probably the biggest mistake, because this experienced international left-back can play both left-back and center-back, and he can even go to the frontcourt to play as a winger when necessary. Such a player can bring a lot of help to Atletico Madrid on the bench. Alba is a young talent, but he may not be able to completely replace Lopez now!"

"Marca" made an assessment of Atletico Madrid's transfer. They believe that, overall, Atletico Madrid's summer transfer operation is hardly a success, at least in terms of signings.

However, there are also those who think that Atletico Madrid has been very successful this summer, and "Aspen" obviously has a different opinion from "Marca".

"Although Atletico Madrid doesn't have a lot of money in terms of signings, for Atletico Madrid, their most successful this summer should be to retain their main lineup and not be poached by big clubs! This is the basis for Atletico Madrid to achieve good results in the new season!"

The media have been talking about it, with mixed reviews.

And Gao Bo didn't refer to the opinions of the media, the media can only affect the fans of Atletico Madrid.It has no influence on Gao Bo at all.

After signing and selling, Gao Bo began to examine his current lineup.

In terms of the goalkeeper position, Asenjo is still the team's second goalkeeper this season. For Gao Bo, the goalkeeper position basically does not need to introduce new players.

Navas has rich experience and quick response, while Gao Bo knows many talented goalkeepers, but they are still very young. Even if they are introduced, they can only be used as substitute goalkeepers. It is better to continue to use Navas.

For the goalkeeper position, Navas, Asenjo, and Joel, three goalkeepers are enough.

On the back line, Godin, Boateng, Miranda, Lucio, Alex Sandro, Alba, Juanfran, Carvajal.

The midfield is Kante, Modric, Raul Garcia, Gabi, Cork, Mario Suarez, Saul.

Originally there was Cardoso Thiago, a famous player in the midfield, but since he was on loan from Juventus, now he chooses to return to Juventus, but Gao Bo does not plan to sign in the midfield. The above seven players are enough for the game.

On the forward line, it is Reyes, Aguero, Griezmann, Mane, Diego Costa, Immobile.

Three goalkeepers, eight defenders, seven midfielders, and six forwards!
A total of 24 people!

In this lineup, no position has more than two players competing. In some positions where the probability of winning cards and injuries is relatively high, such as the position of defensive midfielder, Gao Bo hoarded three players, Kanter, Gabi, and Mario Suarez.

Fighting on the third front this season, Gao Bo believes that none of these players can sit on the bench or be the caretaker of the drinking fountain.

Last season, Assuncao and Elias basically didn't get any opportunities to play. Not to mention their low mood, it is easy to affect the stable and united atmosphere in the team's locker room.

Now this lineup is not too bloated, every player can be used, can have the opportunity to play, and can show healthy competition.

The first team does not need too many people, too many people, on the one hand, the salary expenditure is very high, on the other hand, there will be redundant personnel, which is not conducive to the unity of the team.

In the new season, Gao Bo's main formation is still 433.
He prefers the 433 formation. When he was in Luton, he could only use a 442 formation because conditions did not allow it. However, in fact, he tends to change to 433 in many cases, especially after Griezmann joined.

Now, Atletico Madrid's commonly used formation is 433.
Gao Bo plans to continue to use the midfielder from last season in the new season.

Kante, as the defender of the defense and contender for the ball, sits behind Modric and Raul Garcia, providing protection for the two midfielders who tend to attack in the frontcourt, while also providing defensive support for the defense.

However, after Gabi joins, Gao Bo intends to try the midfield configuration of Kanter, Modric and Gabi in the new season.

Modric was delayed, and Kanter and Gabi in front of him acted as his thugs and bodyguards to cover Modric's offensive organization. At the same time, allowing Modric to delay a little bit made it easier for him to catch the ball from the defender and put the commander who lost the ball in a safer position.

In addition to 433, Griezmann can also be used as a midfielder in many cases. Griezmann is very versatile, so his position cannot always be fixed on the right.

After Griezmann's retracement, Atletico Madrid can change to 442/4231. At that time, according to the situation of the game, flexible changes can be made!
This can be said to be so varied that opponents can't figure it out at all.
