Greenery Reverses The Madness

Throughout the past ten years in European football, the team with the most stable technical and tactical style is Madrid in Spain.

Atletico Madrid!

Simeone just passed the milestone of ten years in charge of Atletico Madrid two months ago.

Ye Yifeng also posted congratulations on social platforms at that time.

Time passes, strong teams decline, weak teams rise, you sing and I come on stage, the only thing that remains unchanged is Atletico Madrid, which insists on resisting counterattacks!

Their persistence seems to be both rare and rock-solid in this era.

Simeone used his actions to write to the world of football the rewards of persistence, and also proved that minimalist purism can also create brilliance.

They don't pursue magnificence and can still stand in the top ranks of European football with a strong and stable record. However, if they want to step into the super first-class ranks, it is hard to come by.

After Ye Yifeng left, Atletico Madrid still unswervingly followed the previous path, but they withdrew from the super ranks.

When the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid began, Atletico Madrid retreated and defended as expected. Manchester United had a complete lineup. In addition, today Carrick paid attention to the away game and put Pogba in the attacking midfielder, with two players behind him. The defensive midfielder protects them, so there is no reason for Manchester United to be too conservative in the away game.

Their strongest point is their forward line, so they naturally have to focus on creating threats on the offensive end.

In the 2nd minute of the game, Pogba played the ball in the middle of the frontcourt to find Ye Yifeng on the left.

When Ye Yifeng moved forward to receive the ball, Correa came from behind with great force.

Ye Yifeng looked back and saw, was his former little brother a little too excited?

It's easy to get rid of someone who comes so upright.

Is there really no progress at all?

He diverted the ball and cut inside, allowing Angel Correa to miss.

He thought he would get rid of the opponent directly, but then Correa directly changed direction and pursued him again.

Ye Yifeng turned his head to observe again and understood instantly.

Correa made no move to intercept the ball at all. He seemed to be simply chasing Ye Yifeng.

In this way, as long as you have enough speed and flexibility, you won't be completely thrown away.

Obviously, if the opponent gets close to him, Correa will probably not steal the ball with his feet, but will directly engage in physical confrontation to harass him!

The posture is definitely very low.

No one thought they could intercept the ball at Ye Yifeng's feet.

Still understand too well!

If he didn't know Ye Yifeng very well, he definitely wouldn't have used this trick to stalk him.

He is cannon fodder and will bring harassment to Ye Yifeng.

It must be other defensive players who really steal the ball.

Ye Yifeng dribbled in and met Koke. After a while of dribbling rhythm, he suddenly spiked the ball and changed direction to complete the pass!

Cork did not panic at all. He is not a full-time defensive midfielder, so it is normal for him to be weak in frontal interception.

When Ye Yifeng was in the team, Gabby was the main defensive midfielder.

Kok turned around and worked with Correa to put pressure on Ye Yifeng from behind.

When Ye Yifeng reached the edge of our penalty area, full-back Trippier came from the front left. Jimenez rushed towards him and was less than two meters away from him and directly put down a shovel to intercept!

Ye Yifeng, who was trapped in a tight siege, saw Jimenez putting down a tackle to block the road, but he didn't come to steal the ball!

He was riding a horse and lying down as a roadblock!

This was his helpless move when facing Messi.

Lie down and play dead to act as a roadblock.

Ye Yifeng subconsciously spiked the ball and turned it crosswise. This was the best breakthrough route.

But as soon as he changed direction, Kondogbia came out from the side and hit the ball continuously.

Ye Yifeng made an emergency stop to pull the ball, and Koke stretched his legs from behind to poke the ball away.

Then Ye Yifeng was made dumplings by Kondogbia, Correa, and Cork!

I don’t know how many times Ye Yifeng’s body suffered critical blows when he was attacked by three people. Ye Yifeng staggered and almost fell to the ground. When he stabilized his center of gravity and straightened his waist, he was completely confused!

You have really carried forward the glorious tradition of Atletico Madrid!

Fortunately, that old dirty guy Costa is no longer on the court, otherwise he might not even be able to save his anus!

Atletico Madrid fans all laughed when they saw this scene.

I'm not laughing at Ye Yifeng, but I've never thought of this scene before!

The King of Red and White was besieged and ravaged by Atletico Madrid!

The old super giant saw Ye Yifeng's expression on the right side of the penalty area as if he had experienced a car accident. He almost laughed, but he could only feel happy in his heart!

You have today too!

During the showdown in the Imperial City, Atletico Madrid didn't use these tricks on him!

Do you know what it feels like now?

There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, who will be spared by heaven? !

Oblak kicked the ball forward in the penalty area.

Neither Suarez nor Griezmann could control the placement of the football, and Atletico Madrid failed to counterattack.

This doesn't matter to them for the time being.

In the opening stage, we still need to block Manchester United's offensive first.

Get your defense in order and then consider your offense.

This is Atletico Madrid's consistent approach when playing against strong teams.

It seems like a slow start, but it is the idea in the technical and tactical system.

Because they also have the confidence.

Ye Yifeng's expression was a little solemn.

He doesn't even need to look at Simeone, he must know that the opponent has clearly arranged for him defensively.

Correa, Koke, Kondogbia, Jimenez, this almost controls his most threatening area of ​​activity from the left side of the frontcourt to the inside!

The most important thing is that they have a clear division of labor. If everyone wants to intercept him, it will be easy to be defeated layer by layer.

However, like Correa and Cork, it was more like creating pressure on him. Even if he passed, it was more like throwing himself into a trap and being surrounded and suppressed.

I'm afraid he won't be as happy going home this time as he was when he returned to the Stade Louis II.

Although Atletico Madrid played 442, there were actually three midfielders in the middle.

Kondogbia's position is further back, and Llorente can fill in the middle at any time, which allows Koke and Kondogbia to take off their worries and defend against Ye Yifeng.

It’s hard to hit the left side!

Ye Yifeng wanted to change his mind after trying it once.

But Manchester United's midfielder organizes the offensive, but Pogba has great confidence in his brother!

Luke Xiao continued to pass the ball to Ye Yifeng head-on. It was rare for Luke Xiao to see Ye Yifeng be so embarrassed when he was surrounded and suppressed, and he immediately stepped forward to provide assistance to the big devil.

With the local situation in place, Ye Yifeng could only grit his teeth and rush forward to explore the way.

This time, he was not in a hurry to cut inside. After stopping the ball, he dribbled forward. He suddenly slowed down to confront the little angel Correa and then continued dribbling forward. Correa was bounced away and then accelerated again to pursue. Ke guarded the inside line and never rushed to the wing.

Facing Ye Yifeng, let go of the wing when it's time to do so.

If you really let him enter the penalty area and penetrate the inside, the pressure he will face is similar to defusing a bomb.

When Trippier came up, Ye Yifeng passed the ball diagonally to the wing.

After releasing the ball, he went towards the left flank of the penalty area.

Luke Shaw went down and knocked the ball across the penalty area.

Ye Yifeng just ran into position, stopped and turned around, but saw Jimenez shoveling again!

Damn it!

You don't play like this.

Put shovels as roadblocks again? !

Ye Yifeng's route to the center was blocked, and at the same time Cork came in front of him. He pulled the ball in a V shape under his feet and retreated to dodge. As soon as he passed Cork, Correa came into view again!

My little angel!

The defensive pursuit reached the hinterland of the penalty area!

Ye Yifeng dodged Correa when he spiked the ball again, but Kondogbia blocked it as expected.

Before Ye Yifeng could stabilize his center of gravity, he forced the ball in front of him and then changed direction and retreated!

As a result, his body rhythm could not keep up, and Correa blocked the line in advance. Ye Yifeng took a step forward and touched Correa's back heel. When he fell forward, he also pinned Correa to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle and called Ye Yifeng for a foul.

Correa was startled, thinking it was a penalty kick, looked at the referee's gesture, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Atletico Madrid fans were embarrassed to laugh out loud, and many of them squinted their eyes to suppress laughter!

Ye Yifeng pulled Correa up. Correa wanted to say something to Ye Yifeng: Brother, don't blame me, it was all arranged by the boss! You must know his character and style!

Bandit Simeone looked calm.

Although looking at the scene, Atletico Madrid successfully defended Ye Yifeng twice in a row.

But the price paid was too great.

What is most affected is the transition between offense and defense in the midfield and backfield.

The formation structure has become distorted when defending the run.

From another perspective, this is the pressure brought by the threat of Ye Yifeng alone.

So he was not optimistic about the game.

They only guarded Ye Yifeng, but they didn't completely guard Manchester United!

Carrick witnessed two attacking setbacks for United.

The level of frustration surprised him.

It can be said that Manchester United's offensive firepower has been the strongest in Europe over the years!

Before this season, it was either first or second.

The only one competing with them for first place is Super King Nan.

What is reflected in the game is that even if Manchester United cannot score a goal, it can still complete the offense completely.

That is to form a shot.

It is rare that Ye Yifeng loses the ball in a dangerous area and cannot even find a chance to pass the ball.

Perhaps because he knew Ye Yifeng so well, Simeone paid full attention to him. Regarding Ye Yifeng alone, Atletico Madrid's defense was absolutely in place in terms of awareness and arrangement.

Carrick didn't think much about it, just thinking that Atletico Madrid's defense was strong and Manchester United had encountered a tough nut.

At least judging from Atletico Madrid's offensive, there is little hope.

Atletico Madrid's positional battle obviously stretched the hips. When Suarez controlled the ball in front of the penalty area and tried to break through, Maguire and Fred jointly intercepted the ball.

Manchester United organized the attack calmly.

When Pogba passed the ball to Ye Yifeng again, Ye Yifeng suddenly felt that Pogba wanted him to be buried at the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium today!

My anti-king!

I am surrounded by mountains of swords and seas of fire, can’t you see?

Are you so determined to hit me on this side?

I came to Wanda Metropolis today to “go home”, not to “monk”!

If you hit me with a single muscle, are you preparing to lose everything?

Ye Yifeng took the initiative and directly passed the ball back to Pogba.

The anti-king was stunned, huh?

He immediately reacted after taking possession of the ball, turned around and passed the ball to the right wing to find the old super giant.

When the old super giant didn't have the ball, Atletico Madrid's defense moved quickly to form an encirclement and suppression.

The full-backs Hermoso and Llorente formed a closing defense towards the inside.

The old super giant was also very stubborn. He took advantage of the situation and cut inside. When he saw center back Felipe also coming up to defend, he quickly spiked the ball to change direction. As a result, Llorente intercepted the ball directly.

Ye Yifeng looked at the president, not to see that the president was in the same boat as him, but to observe Atletico Madrid's defense adjustments.

It seems that they are still prepared with both hands, not just focusing on him.

Atletico Madrid is still the same recipe as before, with a familiar taste.
