257 Picking Among Thorns(1/2)
In the 9th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid's home match against Valencia ended in the first half.
Atletico Madrid 0:1 Valencia.
Simeone weighed the adjustment risks as she walked back to the locker room.
He naturally could see that the team lacked creativity in the battle.
Without Ye Yifeng, Atletico Madrid's second half would have been simple and rough.
Two full-backs took turns assisting to the frontcourt cross and bombarding with long shots.
But when Ye Yifeng can bring creativity to the frontcourt offensive organization, Simeone wants to change the way to adjust and see the effect.
Ye Yifeng created good offensive conditions for Cork on the right, but Cork lacked sufficiently stable threatening ball delivery ability, and Saul was similar.
He can mobilize the full-back to relieve Ye Yifeng's organizational pressure and be determined to go to the wing. The three forwards in the penalty area are trying to grab the points. I dare not say that they are sure to win, but the threat will inevitably be further increased.
But playing like this is too lucky, and the defensive price is a bit high.
After all, Valencia is a top-notch team in Europe, but not a top-notch team.
Atletico Madrid wants to score 3 points from Valencia, and at the same time, it also needs to hone the stable playing style as much as possible when facing non-top teams to prepare the team to play the top team!
This is a test for the entire Atletico Madrid team.
During the intermission, the adjustments made Ye Yifeng feel a little fresh.
Full of expectations for the second half.
In the European Top League for more than two seasons, Ye Yifeng has become a little used to the thinking of playing in the club.
Players' performance is an important part, but coaches' on-the-spot scheduling is indispensable.
This is why I feel uncomfortable when I return to the national team.
Perrin did not show enough convincing technical and tactical ideas and clear on-site adjustments to the arrangement of troops and formations.
Maybe this is the gap.
But Perrin is at least earning an annual salary of more than 1.5 million euros, which is no longer a low salary among coaches in European football.
Back in the second half, Atletico Madrid strengthened its offensive, Valencia led the score and strengthened its defense intentions. Andre Gomez initiated a fast break. Because the starting position was in the middle of the backcourt, Valencia's fast break counterattack was not effective.
The advancement distance is too long, and his shortcomings are exposed, which can quickly form an encirclement and suppression in Atletico Madrid midfielder.
In the 51st minute of the game, Ye Yifeng ran from the side to the dangerous area of the attack in the middle of the frontcourt, and Saul's pass was sent to his feet.
He pivoted the ball and changed direction to dodge Gomez's pressing. The three midfielders in front did not dare to rob, for fear that Ye Yifeng would suddenly change direction and break through.
Ye Yifeng looked at the penalty area and teleported out with one foot against the ground.
It seemed to be passed to Griezmann, but Griezmann turned around and broke into the penalty area.
Cork ran wildly and cut inside, stopped and swerved slightly and broke into the right side of the penalty area.
Central defender Adrahn retreated and defended slowly, and Cork decisively shot.
The game was a bit straight, and the football was blocked by goalkeeper Jami.
Cork quickly turned around and returned to defense, and rushed straight to the middle.
Two minutes later, Ye Yifeng made a cross from the left side of the front court at 45 degrees.
The football that fell into the right rib of the penalty area was crossed by Cork at the baseline, but the ball was quickly followed by Griezmann and a shot was knocked out of the baseline.
Nuno is under great pressure on the sidelines.
Simeone's midfield adjustment is to change the lineup 433.
Ye Yifeng is moving in front midfielder line.
When their back line focuses on Torres and Griezmann, Cork is the unexpected offensive point!
Why didn’t you push Ye Yifeng into the penalty area?
Because he entered the penalty area, no one could just look at the overall situation like him and find the weak links of his opponent's defense just right!
The conveying of a threat ball requires three elements: visible field of vision, correct timing, and passes!
Looking at the entire Atletico Madrid team, Ye Yifeng is the one who can do the best in these three points!
Not comparable to De Bruyne's passing of the immortal who always drives the perspective of God, Ye Yifeng's jump towards omnipotence in the past two years has exceeded everyone's imagination.
Even my dad almost didn't know him!
Valencia coach Nuno found an opportunity to gesture to the three midfielders on the court, allowing them to change from passive blockade to a paired defense.
In the 56th minute of the game, when Gabby successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Ye Yifeng quickly ran from the side to the middle of the frontcourt.
In the response, he suddenly realized Danilo's robbery, and rushed to the counter-tangent line when he stopped the ball and moved away. As soon as he got rid of Danilo, Enzo Perez's robbery came to his sight again.
He quickly shot the ball, and his quality was average.
Torres tried to get out in front of the penalty area, but was cut off by Mustafi and Cancelo during the break.
Nuno applauded on the sidelines!
Just fight like this!
The game situation is changing, and the offensive and defensive methods of the two teams are also changing.
Ye Yifeng's expression was natural and his mentality was stable. After he was mentally prepared, his brain was also working rapidly in response to changes in the situation.
In the 60th minute of the game, Rodrigo's breakthrough attempted to shoot at the edge of the penalty area, and Oblak easily confiscated the ball.
When Juan Fran passed the ball across the middle from the wing, Ye Yifeng dribbled from the front of the center circle, and suddenly accelerated and advanced forward before entering the dangerous area of the attack.
At this time, Danilo robbed again. Enzo Perez and Parejo were ready to rob him twice at any time, but Ye Yifeng knocked the ball back with his right foot when he was about to face Danilo head-on.
After getting the ball, he quickly rushed forward and rushed past Danilo.
When he looked back, Saul had just stopped the ball, Danilo kept his pace, and he didn't turn around and return to defend, and continued to grab it!
There was Andre Gomez on the side of Saul, so he passed the ball forward on the spot.
It seems like a helpless move.
Ye Yifeng suddenly stopped and stood in a position, blocking their confrontational impact under the attack of Parejo and Enzo Perez, and then jumped to compete for the header!
Defender Adraen took a step forward and the three of them blocked Ye Yifeng's ball control space.
But they didn't expect that Ye Yifeng would shake his head and rub the ball gently after jumping.
The football flew into the penalty area in a diagonal direction!
Adraen moved one step later and failed to clear the ball.
While the football flew from him into the penalty area, Griezmann also stepped forward and was almost parallel to the football.
The French forward raised his leg and stopped the ball in the right rib of the penalty area, adjusted his pace on the spot, and shot from the side to shoot the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
Nuno was so painful when he held his head on the sidelines!
This rhythm is so fucking!
After another 5 minutes, he will be able to make up his mind to hold on!
But now the score is equalized by Atletico Madrid!
The cheers of Calderon Stadium were shaking the earth.
Griezmann turned around and ran towards the midfield. He ran towards Ye Yifeng, and the two slapped their high fives to celebrate. Ye Yifeng then turned around and ran to the backcourt.
Simeone clenched her fist and stood up from the coach's seat, and came to the sidelines to unify her thinking: Keep fighting like this!
Atletico Madrid 1:1 Valencia.
After Valencia kicked off, Atletico Madrid counterattacked fiercely in the frontcourt, forcing the opponent to launch a fast attack.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Rodrigo lost in the physical confrontation with Gabi in the frontcourt. Rodrigo was injured in the collision. Ye Yifeng gave up the opportunity to break the ball and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
Three Valencia midfielders nodded to him.
Although Atletico Madrid is a bandit team, some conventional competitive sports ethics must be followed.
If Rodrigo is cheated and injured, it would be another matter, but if he doesn't get up for a long time, he may be really injured.
Valencia substitution.
Forward Paco Alcassel replaced him.
At the same time, Atletico Madrid also replaced the players.
Correa replaced the old golden boy Torres.
It is hard to say that 31-year-old Torres does not have enough physical fitness to stick to the whole game, but in order to maintain high intensity, Atletico Madrid must also have the idea of training new players to gradually replace Torres in the future.
Therefore, Torres' playing time in the team's internal forward line will inevitably be lower than that of Ye Yifeng and Griezmann, but he will still have more young players or new players like Correa and Bierto.
After Correa's appearance, he can strengthen the team's left offensive threat. When Ye Yifeng is more active in the middle, the offense on the side can make full use of the field width.
After the substitution, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt offense was obviously more threatening.
In the 67th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng hit the ball across the left side when the frontcourt was blocked due to a blockade. Felipe Louis stepped forward and sent a direct pass.
