“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"In the 27th minute, Atletico Madrid's first shot of the game came from their top scorer, the Dutchman Hasselbaink!"
"This is a very, very powerful shot!"
"Hasselbaink made a very exciting and violent shot to help Atletico Madrid equalize the score!"
"One to one!"
…
"yeah!!"
On the sidelines of the court, Yang Hao jumped up excitedly after seeing Hasselbaink hit the goal.
The fists that had been clenched tightly for a long time were punched out wildly, like a boxer beating the enemy.
The entire Calderon Stadium, with 48,000 Atletico Madrid fans, let out cries of surprise, followed by overwhelming cheers and enthusiastic applause.
One to one!
Atletico Madrid successfully equalized the score!
Atletico Madrid players were also very excited. They all rushed out of the stadium, caught up with Hasselbaink, and celebrated together on the sidelines.
Even goalkeeper Molina was running back and forth on his own goal line, cheering and shouting, venting his inner excitement.
After being suppressed by my opponent for nearly half an hour, I could finally vent.
…
After Yang Hao got excited, he quickly turned around and gave Mendiodo, Perizzaro and others a high-five one by one.
He saw surprise on everyone's face, full of disbelief.
Yes, before this goal, none of them felt that Atletico Madrid had a chance to win this game.
Especially after their opponent scored a goal in the first 12 minutes, they completely lost confidence.
But now, Atletico scored and the score was even.
"The game has just begun!" Yang Hao said with a laugh.
He simply ignored what his assistants were thinking, as if he would never tell them why the 4231 lineup would be used by many teams for many years to come, even before he traveled through time. .
Not because it is advanced, but because it is civilian enough.
If Yang Hao now has superstars like Figo, Rivaldo, and Kluivert, as well as a single defensive midfielder like Guardiola, then it goes without saying that he can just open 433.
But the question is, does Atletico Madrid have the chips to play 433 now? Do you have the capital to play offensive football?
The answer is, no!
If they really do this, Atletico Madrid may be directly beaten by their opponents.
Not to mention, in the history of Atletico Madrid, there is no gene for playing 433, and the players are not adaptable.
But 4231 is different. The concept of high-position pressing and pressing has already laid a certain foundation in the season when Sacchi was coaching. It is not difficult for players to understand and adapt.
More importantly, in Yang Hao's previous life, Belleron, Baraja and others all reached the peak of their careers in the 4231 formation.
In this case, Atletico Madrid's use of 4231 is the optimal solution!
Leaving his assistant with a surprised look on his face, Yang Hao went straight to the sidelines and shouted loudly to the group of Atletico players who had just celebrated the goal and were walking back: "Stable the rhythm and take your time. Still playing like this.”
"Come on! Come on! We have to score more goals! Go to hell with Barcelona!"
By the end, Yang Hao was clearly in high spirits, and even cursed.
The fourth official in front of him immediately turned around and cast a stern look at Yang Hao.
The team had just scored a goal, and Yang Hao realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately turned around and went back with a laugh.
"This kid really doesn't understand the rules at all." Mourinho said coldly.
Isn't it just a goal?
Are you like this?
But Van Gaal still looked solemn.
The keen sense developed through many years of coaching told him that there are absolutely no unprovoked goals on the football field. There is always a reason for everything, and it must be that the opponent has done something right.
So what did this rookie do right with Atletico Madrid?
Defensive counterattack?
Van Gaal didn't understand it yet, but the game had restarted.
…
After conceding a goal, Barcelona players became somewhat cautious.
This can be regarded as a wake-up call for them.
But soon, they discovered that the morale of the Atletico Madrid players opposite them had improved very quickly, especially this group of players, whose eyes became much firmer.
They are all professional players, and the Barcelona players know what this is all about.
They have clear directions and goals, and they know exactly what they should do and how to do it.
When De Boer rushed out of the 30-meter area to get the ball, Hasselbaink immediately rushed towards him, which shocked the Dutch central defender.
As a teammate of the national team, Hasselbaink's physical confrontation ability is very fearful of De Boer.
So, he immediately passed the ball to Cocu.
Hasselbaink turned the corner and ran towards Cocu, which in turn forced Cocu to pass the ball to the right and handed it to Puyol.
This time the Dutch center stopped running, but walked slowly between Cocu and De Boer.
But almost at the same time, Solari on the left rushed forward and went straight to Puyol.
Belleron also followed Guardiola's retreat and took two steps forward.
This immediately interfered with Puyol's ball route, so the Barcelona defender was forced to pass back to goalkeeper Hesp.
There was a burst of applause from the Calderon Stadium.
Atletico Madrid completed a very good level of defense and forced Barcelona to pass back.
Barcelona itself has the gene to control the ball. The team plays very patiently. Even if the ball is passed back, it will be reorganized immediately and passed out again.
But Atletico's defense is interesting.
When Barcelona's ball was within 30 meters, no one from Atletico Madrid tried to press it.
But once the ball goes out of this range, Atletico Madrid players will actively attack it.
As soon as the ball retreated, Atletico Madrid's players followed suit.
After two or three consecutive attempts to advance without success, Cocu made a big kick in the backcourt and drove to the front to find Kluivert.
The Dutch center was very dominant in the frontcourt. After grabbing the ball, he found that there were no teammates around him.
Figo is on the right and Rivaldo is on the left, but the trident in the frontcourt is cut open.
Although Kluivert had a physical advantage, he was not sure if he wanted to take the ball alone and challenge Atletico Madrid's two central defenders, so he could only pass the ball back to the midfielder.
At this time, the role of the double midfielder comes into play.
Baraja and Pablo Garcia are like a wall, forcing Xavi and Gabri to move forward.
Xavi finally passed the ball to the left and handed it to Rivaldo, but this time Baraja learned the lesson and rushed to the wing immediately, joining forces with Gaspar to attack Rivaldo.
In the end, the attack ended with Gaspar shoveling the ball out of bounds and giving Barcelona a throw-in.
But compared with just now, the defense this time is much better.
At least the whole process was carried out in an orderly manner by Atletico Madrid.
…
"Atletico Madrid's players are starting to find a feel for the game and are starting to regain their confidence."
Van Gaal is a professional player. He can roughly guess what the players are doing just by looking at the game.
He understands the mental state of Atletico Madrid players very well.
Mourinho, on the other hand, has never played professional football and doesn't know much about professional players, especially those in the top leagues.
"Is that the goal just now?" Mourinho asked.
Van Gaal shook his head, "It's the rookie!"
"Him?" Mourinho was surprised.
Turning his head to look at the home team's coaching bench, he found Yang Hao still standing on the sidelines, watching the game attentively.
"Do you really think that a strong team can win if they tie a dog to the coaching bench?" Van Gaal has always been dismissive of such comments from media reporters.
"The biggest role of a head coach is to bring confidence to the players. Now, Atletico Madrid players feel that this rookie's tactics are working, especially their defense tonight."
This kind of defensive tactics of Atletico Madrid tonight really made Van Gaal feel bright, especially this kind of targeted formation from the 30-meter area to the center line.
From the 20th minute on, it was more troublesome for Barcelona's ball to pass through the center line, and the offense no longer had the threat it had at the start.
This is not a good phenomenon!
…
Just when Van Gaal was frowning and thinking about a solution to the problem, Barcelona once again passed the ball to the center line.
Gabri got the ball and was about to turn around when he heard Guardiola's warning.
"careful!"
Before he could hear clearly, Baraja had already rushed forward.
The Spanish midfielder, who was 1.77 meters tall, was full of murderous intent. He made a fierce shovel and scooped the ball away from Gabri's feet.
The key is that after Baraja tackled the ball, he got up again and quickly chased after him.
Gabri could vaguely hear him muttering: "Fight hard! Fight hard! Labor and management must fight hard!"
The Barcelona midfielder was completely confused.
After Baraja caught up with the ball, he quickly kicked it to Belleron in front.
Belleron moved to the left, hoping to find Solari on the left and Hasselbaink on the left side of the penalty area in front of him to cooperate. This made Guardiola feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Unexpectedly, this was another smoke bomb.
Belleron was obviously looking to the left, and he was also facing the left. God knows how he saw Aguilera on the right?
The ball reached Aguilera's feet, and Spain quickly dunked past Bogarde from the right and dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area.
De Boer was shocked and blocked it immediately, and Cocu followed closely, fearing that Aguilera would cross to find Hasselbaink, which was a huge threat.
After Aguilera broke into the penalty area, he received much less defensive pressure, but what he saw with his eyes and felt with his body was that he was surrounded by three Barcelona defensive players.
His routes to the goal and the center were all blocked tightly, leaving no gaps for him.
There was no other way, Aguilera could only protect the ball first, tilted her head slightly, and out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a red and white figure approaching quickly.
Who is so clever?
Aguilera didn't think twice and passed the ball directly back to the right side of the top of the penalty area.
I saw the man rushing over, facing Aguilera's pass, without stopping, straight up his right foot, and fired furiously.
The ball flew out like a bullet at an extremely fast speed and went straight to the left side of the goal.
Goalkeeper Hesp stood near the right post, making it impossible to stop him.
This long shot scored the goal.
Everyone was shocked beyond measure, and only at this moment did they return their sights to the edge of the penalty area.
Scorer: Ruben Baraja!
