Atletico Madrid seems to be 442, but it is 451 again.

It was obviously a defensive counterattack, but it was a limit to prevent counterattack.

Barcelona has formed an oppressive momentum. Except for Griezmann, Atletico Madrid almost all returned to the 30-yard area in front of the goal.

The essence of the team's defensive formation is to prevent the opponent from facing the back line!

Therefore, the midfield line protects the back line when the situation is unfavorable, instead of insisting on robbing the ball even though it is impossible to grab the ball, which is irresponsible.

Barcelona has Rakitic and Busquets in the middle circle to transfer the offensive in the front and back, and the full-back provides support to Neymar and Messi. Iniesta can not only restrain cover in the area with dense defense, but also control the ball from the cracks.

If Atletico Madrid's defensive formation is torn out of the box, Iniesta can also create a breakthrough threat within a small range or directly send a threatening ball forward.

If Atletico Madrid succeeds in defense, it will pass the ball quickly to the frontcourt to look for Griezmann.

There is room for offensiveness, but Griezmann wants to run away from Busquets, and then he will advance alone and cross the two lines of defense between Vermalen and Mascherano.

Barcelona knew that Atletico Madrid was a difficult opponent, but they did not expect that Atletico Madrid this year was more difficult to deal with than last season!

In the 10th minute of the game, Messi accelerated from the right and accelerated from the direction of the ball to Carrasco. When he was breaking into the penalty area, Thiago blocked the inward line. When he dialed the ball to change direction and cut across from Thiago, Ye Yifeng made up his position and returned to defend next to him.

When Messi quickly spiked the ball and changed direction, Ye Yifeng stretched out his legs and stabbed the ball first with his unbalanced body!

Sitting on the ground, Ye Yifeng quickly got up and ran forward.

Messi looked at Ye Yifeng's back and looked strange.

Isn't he a striker?

But he appeared in the right defensive position and made a key interception to the best of his ability.

Because Atletico Madrid counterattack was very fast, when Carrasco passed the ball to the frontcourt, Ye Yifeng could not run faster than football. Griezmann had already started forward, and Ye Yifeng slowed down when he ran to the center line.

Griezmann broke through Vermullen, but was cut off by Mascherano.

Still can't see Barcelona's goal!

Barcelona can occasionally shoot a long shot or send a threatening ball to Suarez in the penalty area. Barcelona is good at passing the ball to the ribs. Whether it is cutting inside the outside line or running diagonally on the center, it is easy to pose a threat in the hinterland of the penalty area.

Fortunately, Atletico Madrid's formation has tightened, and even if the opponent controls the ball in the penalty area, it will be quickly surrounded.

In the 16th minute of the game, when Neymar cut and received the pass from Alba on the wing, he took the ball and stopped in front of Gabi to pull the ball and pull back and spike the ball through the gear.

If you want to talk about the show, it is the Neymar show.

Gabi is experienced and is directly fouled when he is broken through the wicket.

However, Iniesta stepped forward and then controlled the ball.

Iniesta was quickly pressed and intercepted by Thiago, especially blocking his way forward.

When Iniesta flexibly pivoted the ball and passed by Thiago, Ye Yifeng appeared again!

He successfully intercepted the ball!

But the referee whistle sounded.

Gaby returned to the foul and gave Barcelona a free kick.

Simeone clapped and applauded on the sidelines.

Atletico Madrid fans in the stands also applauded Ye Yifeng.

Perhaps the tense situation in the game made them forget that the club spent 105 million euros to buy a striker!

In the 21st minute of the game, Barcelona attacked from the left in the frontcourt. Neymar, Alba and Rakitic suddenly passed the ball and transferred the offensive after passing the triangle.

Messi quickly cut inward from the right and stopped the ball, and then slightly swung the frying croquettes on the spot to complete the breakthrough from Thiago.

He was touching inward but encountered Ye Yifeng.

Ye Yifeng faced him from the side and made a position collision, but Messi was too fast!

Ye Yifeng's legs stretched out before they landed, but Messi touched the ball first. As a result, Ye Yifeng's legs blocked Messi, and Messi fell to the ground!

Messi stood up with some anger and turned to face the referee with anger. At this time, the referee also blew a whistle and blew Ye Yifeng to commit a foul.

And he came and showed him a yellow card.

Messi is really a little unstoppable!

Ye Yifeng thought he could get the first place, but the reality proved that he was thinking too much.

Simeone was as heavy as water on the sidelines. On the court, Ye Yifeng and his teammates communicated with the referee.

I admitted the foul.

There is no need for a yellow card?

But the referee did not show mercy and rarely could the cards he took out could be taken back.

Ye Yifeng plays the role of "sniper" in defense. Since Barcelona's offense generally cuts from the wing to the middle, they rarely push them in the middle, so Ye Yifeng naturally draws back and fills up.

He is very different from chasing his opponent's ball control target with passion when defending Ligue 1. Now he is calmly judging the situation and appearing as much as possible in the right position and line to make key interceptions. In the early stage, there are also teammates' defense that forces the opponent's ball control to pave the way for changes.

But it is undeniable that in the past 20 minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid performed the most actively in the backcourt, and Ye Yifeng was the one who took photos the most.

The key interception is to pass the ball to the frontcourt when defensively and offensively instigate a counterattack. He plays a dual role.

Now, he needs to control the movement scale in the defense.

Even if there is a yellow card on him, it will not bring him much concern.

As long as it is not a dangerous move or a foul that absolutely destroys the opponent's goal chance, even a tactical foul may be a foul to the referee, to avoid sending him off too easily.

But he certainly won't test the bottom line of challenging the referee.

The hustle and bustle Calderon Stadium, the game is gradually accelerating, and the defense line is under huge pressure.

This is forcing Ye Yifeng to remain calm and focused, and at the same time, the passion drives him to run unremittingly, with a reasonable position, and the explosion at critical moments.

The pressure has existed since before the game, but he firmly believes that this will force a stronger and better self!

Even if he did not show threats on the offensive end.

In the 26th minute of the game, when Neymar lowered from the left and led to an offensive depth advantage, he passed the ball back to Alba, and then ran around to the left in front of the penalty area.

When Alba passed the ball diagonally back, Iniesta restrained Gabi. When Neymar was about to dribble into the penalty area, Ye Yifeng rushed past him. While walking through the football, Neymar stretched out his leg and had physical contact with Ye Yifeng.

He performed another large-scale crash performance.

After turning around, he lay on the ground, holding the leg that was stretched out and touched by Ye Yifeng, screaming.

Ye Yifeng was uninterrupted and drifted to the side without waiting for Alba and Iniesta to form a clamp, and then turned halfway and passed the ball diagonally to the front right.

Cork instigated a quick counterattack, and when he crossed the center line, Neymar stood up.

My mouth stopped wailing.

The expression is no longer painful.

The legs and feet are also flexible.

Cork made a direct pass in the frontcourt, and after receiving, Griezmann spiked the ball in front of Vermulen to accelerate to complete the breakthrough.

Vermalen turned back and chased after two steps and slowed down, covering the back of his thighs with a painful expression.

This shouldn't be performed.

Griezmann completed a shot at the edge of the penalty area, but unfortunately there was no threat, and Ter Stegen easily confiscated the ball.

Then Ter Stegen took the initiative to kick the ball out of the midfield sideline.

Barcelona team doctor entered the court.

Atletico Madrid will get breathing space.

The Barcelona players looked at Vermalen limping out of the field, with their expressions helpless.

Barcelona's "hospital bed" Vermalen didn't even hold on to the half and was going to "go home" again.

Louis Enrique had no choice but to let Mathieu warm up and prepare for a substitute.

Neymar, Messi and Iniesta are looking at the tall Chinese striker from time to time with inquiring eyes.

Is he a striker?

In less than 30 minutes, Ye Yifeng's key interception in defense was the highest in the game!

Barcelona's entire attack line was not just Suarez who had not been stolen by Ye Yifeng, otherwise he would have been taken down!

Did they be fooled by the media, or did Atletico Madrid be deceived?

I bought a defensive midfielder for 105 million euros?

Not to mention, Atletico Madrid can really do such a thing!

But how did he get his basket of balls?

Barcelona players are a little confused, at least they don't think that this valuable striker will do such a good job of dirty and tiring work.

Mathieu appears.

The game continues.
