Chapter 748 The Purest Way

Atlético de Madrid consciously transferred the liquidated damages directly to Chelsea's account before the final, so the full main lineup of Atletico Madrid will start today in the final, and Chelsea has a little problem, because the midfielder Ramirez will play in the final. Missed.

He has no injuries, but a yellow card in the Champions League semi-final made him accumulate three yellow cards in the Champions League knockout round and missed the final. Chelsea executives criticized the Champions League system. It is reported that UEFA is also considering revising the system at least The accumulated yellow cards can be cleared in the final, but this season is definitely impossible.

So Chelsea's starting midfielder in the Champions League final became Fernando, Meyer and Lampard, and the striker was led by Zize, with Hazard and Willian moving around him. Atletico Madrid will definitely not give Chelsea too much in this game With no opportunity to counterattack, Hiddink decided to send William, who is more capable of positional warfare, instead of Schurrle.

With the sound of a whistle, the decisive battle of Guangmingding officially started. This is the first time Qi Ce has faced Atletico Madrid. The giants are still a little short, but this Champions League may be the key to Atletico Madrid's transformation.

The same is true for Chelsea.

Although Chelsea won the Champions League once, there are still many people who don't take Chelsea's Champions League seriously. should.

But if the title defense can be completed, no matter what method is used to defend the title, this is a real achievement, something that has never happened after the restructuring of the Champions League, and it is enough for Chelsea to truly become a first-tier giant.

From the very beginning, Atletico Madrid brought their style to the stage of the top of Europe. The biggest difference between Atletico Madrid's defense and another defensive master Mourinho is that they pay more attention to confrontation than Mourinho's team. and scrambling.

Mourinho defends by cutting space, which is indeed the most advanced defensive method, but Simeone's defense is different. Perhaps his tactical attainments are not so strong, but they are very practical.

In a sense, the tough style is the embodiment of the spirit. If the technical strength is not up to the strongest standard, the mental strength can make up for the strength gap to a certain extent, and the players of Atletico Madrid can be said to be tough guys.

Especially in the midfield, Gabi and Godin are the two captains and vice-captains. Gabi's technical characteristics are a bit like Ramirez, who was suspended by Chelsea today. He has sufficient physical reserves, strong running ability, and forward penetration ability. Good, but better than Ramirez is his defensive ability.

As the captain of Atletico Madrid who was single-handedly promoted by Simeone, Simeone, who pays attention to the iron-blooded style, will naturally promote the most suitable and iron-blooded fighter in the team to the captain. The most critical barrier in the team.

However, the line of defense that Zize faced the most was Godinga Miranda.

It is worth mentioning that Uruguayan central defender Godin. When facing the Spanish team before, Zize felt that many defenders were very skilled, with extremely high levels of ball control and delivery, but Godin gave him a bad feeling. too same.

The defense of the Uruguayan defender can be regarded as decisive and precise at the textbook level. He defends fiercely, but he is also very clean. He does not hesitate when confronting, but he handles the ball very decisively. The only job to do is never to control the ball, and the passes are the safest routes.

This is what a normal central defender should do, but in La Liga, at least among the strong teams in La Liga, this is an alternative.

Because Zize has never played in La Liga, and if he has the opportunity to play against La Liga teams, they are the top teams in La Liga, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Valencia. In Real Madrid, Ramos will also take the ball forward, but Godin will not.

Zize wants to press Godin or Miranda, it can be said that it is basically futile. Atletico Madrid never sloppy in the backcourt. Simeone’s style of play in the final is to give up the ball to fight back, to be precise, to give up the ball , hit the press, catch the formation that is suddenly disrupted when you are in possession and hit the fatal blow.

This also makes it very simple and direct for Atletico Madrid to control the ball in the backcourt. The defender will deal with it as soon as he gets the ball, which makes Chelsea's oppression become empty talk.

And when he was defending, Godin handled the ball very cleanly, and he shot very fast. Zize thought that this might be the most resolute and decisive opponent he had ever encountered. It was the first time he confronted Godin head-on. As soon as Zize got the ball and was about to pass it, Godin suddenly came up from the side to steal it. Of course, Zize's reaction was not slow. He couldn't turn around but fell to the ground in embarrassment.

At that time, many Chelsea fans booed, thinking that Godin should be sentenced to a foul for knocking down Zize, but the steal was actually very clean.

After stealing the ball, Godin also stepped forward directly, giving Diego Costa in front to compete with Terry and the others, and the Uruguayan immediately ran back to his position.

In the subsequent few times, Zize did not find a breakthrough space on Godin, and Zize also realized that this is the top template of a true central defender.

It's not that he is definitely stronger than Ramos, Thiago Silva and others, but he is definitely no less than the existence of these people. The biggest difference from them is that Godin completely regards his position as A standard central defender, at the textbook level.

With the development of football for more than 100 years, positions on the field have been played over and over again, giving birth to countless styles of play, genres, and players of various attributes. Maybe not too famous, but the team must need such a person.

Solving problems in the purest way is sometimes an answer.

Atletico Madrid's way of giving up the ball made Chelsea play very lively. Although the central defender line of Godin and Miranda was insurmountable, Chelsea scored a lot of times in the 30-meter area of ​​​​Atletico Madrid. Ce's conversion ability in this situation, the more this kind of attack against Chelsea, the better, and the fans on the field cheered one wave after another.

But the results are often unexpected.

Under the pressure of Chelsea, Atletico Madrid's offense and counterattack were actually not very good. There was no shot until 10 minutes into the first half. It was Diego Costa's header for Villa. Ya didn't hit the goal well under the double-team defense of two people in the penalty area, but was very tricky when he was touched by David Luiz. Fortunately, Cech concentrated his attention and saved the ball to the bottom line.

But in the subsequent corner kick, Godin headed in front and broke the goal guarded by Cech!
The power of Godin's corner kick is excellent, and it is Chelsea captain Terry who is defending next to Godin, but Terry is 34 years old after all. Facing the 28-year-old Godin, who is in his prime, he is also the same. Powerless.

This header perfectly shows that Godin is not only accomplished in defense, he can also stand up and make a final decision when the team needs to score a goal forward!
Godin's header was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Chelsea fans. Although the game was still very long, the fans also saw Atletico Madrid's style of play, and Atletico Madrid liked this rhythm.

Late attack, strike back to win!
This goal actually came from a counterattack. It was a high-position press that caused Chelsea to make a mistake in the frontcourt and quickly inserted a counterattack. Atletico Madrid's players are not particularly fast players, but their center Diego Costa has a lot. Strong ability to hold the ball and confrontation, he can buy time for his teammates to go up.

Then there is the next scene where Villa hits the goal. Villa shoots very cunningly. Obviously, when the shot can't hit the goal, Villa specially goes for the corner kick, deliberately kicking at the defender, not necessarily If you have to kick in the goal, a corner kick is much more valuable than an unreliable shot, and the result is that this corner kick caused a goal.

Of course, it's only more than 30 minutes in the first half, and the game is far from over.

After conceding the goal, Chelsea also showed the demeanor of a team that had won the Champions League. They did not panic, but continued to control the scene calmly.

This is the rhythm that Atletico Madrid wants, but Chelsea also likes this kind of rhythm that controls the situation. At least after losing the ball, Chelsea is not too worried about the collapse, because Atletico Madrid's style is not to chase after the victory.

The first half ended with Chelsea trailing 0:1. At halftime, Hiddink rarely played emotional cards for the players. This will be his last coaching game, and it may also be the last game of his coaching career After all, 68 years old is definitely an old coach. Chelsea will welcome Mourinho next season, which is an excellent opportunity to transform into a top giant. Hiddink also hopes that the team will go well.

The players in the locker room all expressed their desire to fight Hiddink's final battle well. Although Hiddink is only a well-behaved coach in the eyes of most players, but because of this, the locker room is still very supportive of him, especially in the this special moment.
