Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 189 Ups and Downs
Offense is the most emphasized word by Tuchel players.

To do the opposite is to catch the opponent by surprise.

Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven.

In the face of the gap in strength, Dortmund can show their own demeanor.

In terms of offensive tactics, Tuchel followed the tactics of the previous game in this game, and Wang Po is still in a forward midfielder position, responsible for the end and organization of the offense.

The front line is still the two speed forwards of Ousmane Dembele and Aubameyang.

For Atletico Madrid, Gameiro continued to replace Torres in the starting center position, and the second forward position was still unshakable Griezmann, Cork, and Carrasco split the two wings.

"beep"

The referee blows his whistle and the game begins.

Lost in the first round, this time at home, Atlético de Madrid launched a wave of offense as soon as they came up, changing the previous tactics of recovering from the side and the middle, and giving space to the full-backs. The two full-backs desperately tore up Dortmund's side defense.

In the 5th minute of the first half, Griezmann received the ball back from Gameiro and volleyed in the middle circle. Fortunately, Schmelz was focused enough to save the ball and save Dortmund.

After a wave of offense, Atletico Madrid's front line did not intend to retreat, but surrounded Dortmund's three lines and carried out a siege.

In terms of hard power, there is a certain gap between Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid. In just 10 minutes, Atletico Madrid shot within 3 shots.

The fierce offensive firepower made Dortmund break out in a cold sweat.

It is indeed a lineup that guarantees the semi-finals of the Champions League. There is no doubt about where the hard power lies.

Dortmund was the first to score. Griezmann organized the attack at the top of the arc and tried to pass the ball to Carrasco, who was thrusting diagonally. The experienced Subotic stretched out his thigh and intercepted the ball.

For Atletico Madrid's defensive strategy, Dortmund has long been prepared.

Facing the pressure, Subotic was prepared for a long time, and without raising his head, he used all his strength to drive the ball to the right of Atletico Madrid.

This is the agreement between Wang Po and Subotic before the game.

Through the analysis of a large number of videotapes, Atletico Madrid always adopts a very oppressive high-position pressing tactic when preparing to attack, and it is different from the high-position pressing of other teams. Simeone’s pressing tactic involves the participation of all 10 people in the entire team.

This point was emphasized by Wang Po and his teammates before the game.

At the same time, the tactic was also agreed, that is, the right side of Atletico Madrid. At the moment when the defense turns to attack, I will run to the right side of Atletico Madrid at full speed to catch the ball.

Just like the results of the video analysis before the game, Atletico Madrid really adopted the high-position pressing tactics of the whole game.

The old captain Subotic seemed to make a big-footed clearance, but he accurately handed the ball to Wang Po, who went forward on the right. After the latter got the ball, he ran wildly and accelerated.

In the case of deep space and Atletico Madrid's defensive personnel are not in place, there is no need for too many dribbling skills. Speed ​​is the biggest killer.

Without the protection of a tall central defender like Godin, the speed forward is the most troublesome type for them.

After the ball is passed by one step, there is no other way but to foul.

It's a pity that with such a great counterattack opportunity, Wang Po will never give the opponent a chance to foul and destroy the attack.

At the Calderon Stadium, under the witness of more than 5 fans at the scene, Wang Po completed the half-time attack.

The two central defenders of Atletico Madrid's backcourt were reduced to background boards.

Wang Po single-handedly.

Oblak tried to make a final struggle, Wang Po chose to score with a lob, extending the total score to 4 to 2. This score made Atletico Madrid's advantage of two away goals in the first leg at the Wess** stadium vanished.

Such a strong personal goal plunged the entire Calderon Stadium into silence.

Countless Atlético de Madrid fans watched Wang Po's strong performance and could only hold their heads and go crazy.

In front of Dortmund's No. 11, the defense of Atletico Madrid, known as the "bronze wall and iron wall", seems to have become paper.

This is the proudest aspect of Atletico Madrid.

Wang Po shattered all this with his own power.

The lagging Atlético de Madrid pressed forward under the command of Simeone. However, compared with the orderly attack at the beginning, during this period of time, Atletico de Madrid's personnel were running, and the coordination of passing and cutting seemed a bit chaotic, and even many unforced errors occurred.

Before the game, Simeone did not prepare the backward plan b. Under the premise that the situation forced him to strengthen the offense, the impatience of the players was undoubtedly revealed.

But in the end, Atletico Madrid's hard power is guaranteed.

At the end of the first half, relying on the opportunity of a corner kick, veteran Godin scored with a header and recovered a point.

The situation on the field became tense again.

locker room.

Tuchel is satisfied with the results on the field, but facing a team of Atletico Madrid's level, every minute cannot be taken lightly.

"Wang Po, in the second half, you withdraw to the central midfielder position, control the rhythm of the team, and try to get more of the ball at our own feet." Tuchel fine-tuned the tactics of the first half, and the first thing that bears the brunt is the change of Wang Po's position on the field.

……

"Toot~!"

A whistle blows and the second half begins.

During this half-time break, Simeone obviously adjusted the team's offensive tactics. Without the mess after losing the ball in the first half, the offense became more three-dimensional and layered.

It's just that Tuchel has strengthened his control over the rhythm of the game.

With Wang Po in the midfield, the Dortmund team, which is not eager to attack, has a good control of the ball.

For a period of time, Dortmund's ball possession rate was as high as 60%. You must know that this is facing Atletico Madrid, one of the three heroes in La Liga.

After all, it is the lineup of the Champions League semi-finals.

After all, a loophole in Dortmund's defense was found.

Griezmann's rib support and Carrasco made a one-two cooperation. The latter passed the ball back from the bottom. After receiving the ball, Griezmann made a false shot and dunked the Dortmund defender. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area and scored with a small angle shot.

4:4.

The total score was equalized.
