Simeone changed!

Sincerely changed, and become very determined!

Yang Huan had heard many people talk about this before, and even during the International Champions Cup, he personally watched several Atletico Madrid matches, but it was not obvious that it was a warm-up match at that time.

Now, at the Bernabeu, this crucial Madrid derby is the first Atletico Madrid game that Yang Huan has seen in the new season, and his feeling is that Simeone has indeed changed a lot.

The first is formation.

In the past two seasons, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt trident really made all the La Liga teams suffer.

Moreover, relying on this set of coercive tactics from the front trident, to the midfield, to the defense line, Atletico Madrid has also achieved shocking brilliant results.

A La Liga champion, La Liga runner-up and Champions League runner-up last season, with outstanding results.

But who is Simeone?

In Yang Huan’s impression, he is a careerist who is always full of hunger and thirst. He has been like this since his career as a professional player. Now, he has been transformed into a head coach. He still has this personality and has not changed. .

Therefore, he will not be satisfied with the success of the past two seasons and stop his pursuit.

Especially after having personally experienced the Champions League final last season and seeing Bielsa's Southampton, the excitement for Simeone was too great.

As early as after the Champions League final, Simeone vowed that he must regain the lost glory.

Perhaps it is because of the players participating in the World Cup, or because of the high intensity of pressure and pressing, it is impossible to last for a long time. Therefore, Simeone used more rotations at the beginning of the season.

The team's tactics have also changed from the original four-three-three to a more balanced four-four-two.

Or, strictly speaking, it cannot be considered four four two, but four four one one.

The goalkeeper is Courtois, and the back line from left to right is Jose Gaia, Godin, Otamendi and Montoya.

From the perspective of the game process, the positions of the four midfielders are not lined up, but different.

In the midfield, there are two defensive midfielders. So far this season, they are a combination of Ilya Ramendi and Criccioviak. These two players have both offensive and defensive capabilities, one organization control, the other protection Support and complement each other.

There are two wide players, Isco on the left and Cork on the right, but these two players are more forward and inward. They are always on the ribs between the opponent’s defense and the center. Take the ball in the area.

Especially Isco, in this position, he is quite eye-catching.

The two players in the frontcourt were basically selected from Diego Costa, Tevez, and Griezman, with Bierto, Munir and Torres acting as substitutes.

And this game, although it was a Madrid Derby, but considering that Tevez travelled back to South America to participate in the national team game, Simeone chose Diego Costa and Griezmann to start.

If the adjustments and changes in the formation and lineup do not explain any problems, then the change in Atletico Madrid's style is surprising.

Before Mandzukic was on the team, Atletico Madrid's style of play was more inclined to cross from the side.

Later, after using the trident combination of Diego Costa, Tevez and Griezman, although there are fewer side passes, the play is still very simple and straightforward, and even a little rough.

But now, Simeone has begun to abandon some old ideas and focus on strengthening the number and tacit understanding of the players' passing and receiving cooperation.

Especially, when the team is attacking, Atletico Madrid is now relying most on the two full-backs, Isco and Cork, as well as the strikers. They are at the forefront of the penalty area, especially in the top area of ​​the arc. There is even some exquisite and exquisite delivery coordination, which is eye-catching.

This was hard to see before!

Moreover, he also gave players like Isco, Kirk and Griezman more autonomy.

Just like Isco, the Spanish player's performance this season is better than one. The most important point is that he has completely stimulated his vitality in Simeone's tactical system.

He is still as diligent as before, actively participating in counter grabs and defense, but once the ball reaches his feet, he has the ability to surprise everyone and constantly create surprises on the court.

This is also the freedom that Simeone gave him.

Just like this Madrid Derby, after the opening, Atletico Madrid took the initiative to oppress Real Madrid.

In the eighth minute, Isco received a pass from Ilya Ramendi on the left side of the frontcourt.

Behind him is Aveloya, who replaced Carvajal who was injured in the national team game. The latter came close to him for the first time after Isco received the ball, and Vidal had already forced him for the first time.

But I saw that after receiving the ball, Isco flickered and flicked under the grip of the two players. Using magical footwork, he just took the ball out of the double-team of the two and threw it away. Vidal, tangent to the middle.

This series of wonderful work at the feet immediately let Isco win the exclamation of the audience.

But in the end, Isco made a through ball at the front of the penalty area. Diego Costa was not able to stabilize it and was destroyed by Ramos, wasting a very good offensive opportunity.

But just at the Bernabéu Stadium, the applause for Ramos's wonderful defense hasn't completely fallen yet, and Atletico Madrid's offensive has once again come up.

Kirk took the ball on the right and cut inside, after attracting the attention of the defensive players, he moved to the left side of the penalty area.

Isco stopped the ball and wandered into the penalty area. Facing Aveloya, he made a realistic fake move. After swaying Aveloya easily, he suddenly kicked up.

The ball was like a cannonball coming out of its chamber, and it accurately penetrated the goal guarded by Casillas, one to zero!

This goal came very suddenly, but it was not surprising.

Because from the opening to the present, Atletico Madrid has created a considerable threat to Real Madrid.

After seeing Isco's goal, Yang Huan was so excited that he was celebrating, and he also smiled in response to applause.

It can be seen that on the basis of the past two seasons, Simeone is incorporating more elements for Atletico Madrid.

And also achieved initial success.

If the first goal is not obvious, then the second goal is more convincing.

After Isco took the ball in the left, it passed to Diego Costa, who was pulled to the front of the penalty area.

As soon as Diego Costa took the ball, he leaned against Pepe with his body, and then split the ball to the right.

Cork quickly jumped in from behind, and after throwing away Coentron, a bottom pass was made and the ball fell to the back point.

Griezmann quickly jumped in from behind, rushed to the top of Ramos, jumped to the top, and directly pushed the ball into Casillas' goal again in the small penalty area, two to zero!

Two consecutive goals, half an hour, Atletico Madrid's performance is impressive.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has not been able to find an effective solution on the offensive end, and the team played in a hurry when the score was behind.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are vying to launch long-range shots outside the penalty area when the offense cannot start, but this hastily long-range shots are more often turned into anti-aircraft guns. It is difficult to threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.

Yang Huan was sitting in the stands, seeing Real Madrid's offensive play out of nowhere, and couldn't help shaking his head.

After all, there is Modric behind, who can't command the midfielder at all.

Vidal is a strong player, but it is difficult for him to give Modric much help in midfield control.

James Rodríguez has this ability, but he is a newcomer, he has no prestige in the Real Madrid team, and the stars do not listen to him, so he can do nothing.

Even Yang Huan was thinking, Simeone probably consciously wanted to let go of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale and let them relax on the outside of the penalty area, especially in the area diagonally facing the goal from a long distance. .

The reason is also very simple, that is, let them shoot.

In the first half hour, Yang Huan saw at least these two guys wasting five long-range shots, all of which turned into anti-aircraft guns.

Look at Ancelotti again, the Italian fat guy is still very calm.

But Yang Huan dared to guarantee that at this time, he must have mixed feelings in his heart, racking his brains to find a way.

As for Simeone, it was even more calm.

Anyway, with two goals in hand, he also signaled that the team need not worry, no longer need to continue to press so close.

Even Yang Huan was thinking that this guy would definitely fight back in the second half.

Sure enough, the first half ended in a two-to-zero score, and in the second half, Atletico Madrid really fought a wretched defensive counterattack, began to shrink the line of defense, let Real Madrid take the initiative to attack.

Real Madrid didn't move either. In their home court, two goals behind their rivals in the same city, it would be too shameful if they didn't press out to play.

Therefore, the home team attacked, the visiting team stood firm and cleared the field, holding on to the goal, patiently waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

You come and I play with each other very intensely.

Until the 73rd minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid got another chance.

Isco took the ball from the left, attracted the attention of the defensive players, and then passed it to Jose Gaya who was inserted later.

Jose Gaia was about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, but Aveloya was shot from the side. In a knocking action, Jose Gaia fell to the ground and rolled twice.

The referee undisputedly awarded a penalty kick and gave Aveloya a yellow card.

Diego Costa personally made a free throw, three to zero.

At this point in the game, it has basically entered garbage time.

After losing the third goal, Ancelotti replaced Hernandez, who was loaned from Manchester United, to further strengthen the team's offense.

In the 86th minute, it was the Mexican striker who grabbed a spot in front of the goal~lightnovelpub.net~ scored a face-to-face goal for Real Madrid, but in the end he was unable to stop Real Madrid from a one-to-three match and lost at home. .

When the referee blew the end of the game, Yang Huan was really excited.

Originally, in his plan, Atletico Madrid will adjust more this season.

After all, in one summer, so many players have been lost and so many fresh blood have been added. Simeone should well run in the team and show results in a season or two.

But now it seems that Simeone doesn't need a run-in period at all, relying on this lineup to start the league with three consecutive victories.

Although in the La Liga standings, they are still behind the same three-game winning streak, but Barcelona has scored more goals, but Yang Huan is quite satisfied with Atletico Madrid's performance, especially the change shown by Simeone.

From beginning to end, both Yang Huan and Bielsa insisted that the transformed Atletico Madrid has a more promising future.

Today, Simeone’s transformation is undoubtedly confirming this view.
