Chapter 781 Who do you save first?

"Tony Cross got the ball in the midfield and moved the long diagonal pass to the right"

"Suarez, turn beautifully, get rid of Felipe, speed up, cross!"

"Ibrahimovic responded in the middle..."

"Beautiful! Otamendi, very beautifully defending the front and cleared the ball in advance!"

"But the ball did not fly far and still landed at Southampton's feet. Modric returned to the back line and reorganized!"

"Southampton has a very obvious advantage in ball control, and Atletico Madrid is very passive in the field."

"Here comes again, Xavi Martinez's long pass from the backcourt, found Ibrahimovic!"

"The Swedish center back was back for Kaka, and he kicked it straight behind him, and Suarez was diagonally inserted into the rib from the right!"

"Curtova attacked decisively and cleared the ball, barely resolving another crisis!"

"Southampton has a lot of offensive methods. It is the team with the strongest attack power in the Champions League this season. They scored goals in every game in the Champions League and were in very good shape."

"But Atletico Madrid is not inferior, they are one of the best teams in the Champions League defense."

"So, although this season's Champions League final is two dark horse teams, its strength is not weak at all. It is known as the strongest spear in the Champions League and the strongest shield!"

"The game has completely reached a white heat from the beginning. It has been five minutes now. We don't have time to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams to you..."

"Look, Southampton is attacking again, and the Saints are very interested in swallowing Atletico Madrid in one breath!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the commentators on the field of the Light Stadium, there were nearly 60,000 people in the entire field. Their emotions were all fluctuated with the situation of the game. Every attack from Southampton was enough to keep them holding their breath.

The commentator is right, this is a showdown between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

Every player on the football field must concentrate on every confrontation and every battle.

Just imagine, these spectators sitting on the sidelines are so nervous. Wouldn’t the players on the court be ten or a hundred times more nervous than them?

Hearing a beep, the referee blew the foul whistle.

Tevez tripped Modric when he returned to defense and was fouled by the referee.

The Argentine beast did not argue, reached out to pull Modric up and took two steps back, but the ball was released, and he immediately rushed towards Modric and Tony Cross.

This guy is famous for his desperate efforts!

But it can also be seen that although the two teams are close, Simeone is still using foul tactics to win the game.

At best, it is a sign that the players will move cleanly, which is already very good!

You should know that when playing skills, Atletico Madrid's midfield is indeed good, but compared with Southampton's overall control style, there is still a big gap.

Therefore, if you really want to play the control style, Atletico Madrid will definitely be beaten by Southampton.

Therefore, Simeone's tactics are very simple, rough and direct, so I adopted the defensive counterattack and foul tactics.

This is what Atletico Madrid is best at.

"The starting tactics of the two head coaches are not a problem. Although Southampton attacked after the opening, he was also guarding against Atletico Madrid's counterattack. The bed sheet army is based on defense, but once he seizes the opportunity, the counterattack is also very determined!"

"The battle between these two famous European coaches has not had any problems at the tactical level."

After a few points of attack, Southampton seemed to realize that Atletico Madrid's opening tactics were arranged quite targeted and the defense was very solid. It was basically unlikely to eat the opponent in one bite.

Therefore, after Tony Cross and others communicated with Bielsa with eyes and gestures, they stopped attacking.

As the pace slowed down, everyone in the Light Stadium breathed a sigh of relief.

From the beginning of the game, the saints held their breath and attacked desperately.

And Atletico Madrid?

Although he was fighting hard, he had no intention of retreating to the half. Instead, he used his best active running and oppression to defend. The scene was not ugly.

<>Although neither team was able to score a goal, everyone in the stadium was breathing a sigh of relief and worried about them.

Now that the pace slows down, everyone has relaxed.

"Okay, now I finally have time to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams."

"Atlantic Madrid has adjusted the starting lineup in this game. The goalkeeper is Courtois, and the defense line has not changed. From left to right are Philippe, Godin, Otamendi and Juan Fran. This is also the iron defense line of Atletico Madrid."

"But in the midfield, Simeone adopted four-midfield tactics, from left to right, Isco, Gabi, Ilia La Mendi and Cork. It is obvious that Gabi is because the captain of Atletico Madrid has more experience and his role in the midfield is quite large, so it is most appropriate for him to command the midfield."

"In fact, when Gaby responded to Southampton's attack after the opening game, he commanded his teammates to make a good defense."

"The two frontcourts are Diego Costa and Tevez, and French striker Griezmann was left on the bench."

"These two forwards are also very active players in defense, which is also a major feature of Atletico Madrid. From the front court to the back court, each player has a strong sense of defense, which makes Atletico Madrid's overall defense quality very high."

"Compared with Atletico Madrid's adjustment, Southampton still adopts the 433 tactics that it is best at."

"The goalkeeper is Neuer, and the defense is David Alaba, Javi Martinez, Varane and Danilo."

"By Danilo starting, not Azpilicueta, it proves that Bielsa is very clear that the most difficult problem Southampton needs to solve in this game is not defense, but offense."

"The double midfielder has not changed. It is still a combination of Modric and Tony Kroos, but the frontcourt has once again arranged a more experienced starter Kaka. After a long period of recovery after transferring to Southampton, the Brazilian midfielder's competitive state has rebounded significantly and returned to the Brazilian national team."

"The frontcourt trident, Hazard, Ibrahimovic and Suarez, is also Southampton's main offensive lineup in the Champions League this season, and it is reported that this will be Ibrahimovic's last season in Southampton."

But just after the commentator had just introduced the rosters of the two teams, Southampton launched another attack in the backcourt.

This time, right-back Danilo dribbled the ball along the right, quickly crossed the center line, and entered the halftime at Atletico Madrid.

As soon as Danilo passed the half, all Southampton players who appeared in Atletico Madrid and the front and back of the center line immediately became active and began to rush forward as they pleased.

After the Brazilian right back came up, he immediately kicked the ball forward and passed it to Suarez who was pulling to the side. Felipe was so scared that he quickly got stuck, while Danilo himself took the opportunity to penetrate Atletico Madrid's ribs.

Suarez is also a smart person. He has been cooperating with Danilo for a year and has already had a tacit understanding. As soon as he receives the ball, he will knock back immediately.

The two formed a beautiful two-by-one on the right.

But Gabi was very experienced and blocked Danilo's route into the penalty area early, forcing Danilo to knock the ball back to Kaka behind him.

Kaka made a shot and passed the ball to Ibrahimovic who was pulling to the front of the penalty area.

After the Swedish center blocked Godin with his body, he turned around and passed the left side behind Atletico Madrid's defense line.

Hazard chased the ball quickly and caught up with it. After receiving the ball, he was about to cross it.

But Otamendi was also fast. One fell to the ground and put the shovel. Two people dribbled the ball and knocked Hazard to the ground, and the ball also went out of the bottom line.

The referee awarded Atletico Madrid's goal goal, which immediately made Southampton feel very dissatisfied.

However, judging from the slow motion of the game, it was Otamendi who kicked the ball on Hazard while clearing the ball and then bounced out of the bottom line.

Yang Huan sat in the chairman's stands and saw Otamendi turning around and chasing Hazard to the ground, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This kid is really a tiger general!"

Isn't it?

Just now, he was assisting in defense behind Ibrahimovic. After seeing the Swedish center pass, he immediately turned around and chased, destroying Hazard's dribbling in front of the baseline. With this decisiveness and determination, Otamendi deserves the title of Tiger General.

Speaking of which, Otamendi is also quite cowardly.

He became famous very early and spread throughout European football in 2009. But what's so bad is that at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Maradona, who was a mortal, was forced to put him on the right.

As a result, Otamendi was directly exposed by his opponent on the right.

Yang Huan even clearly remembers that in his previous life, domestic fans hated Otamendi and felt tooth pain.

As for the FM party members, they were very sorry for Otamendi.

But speaking of this guy is also tough. After transferring to Porto, he showed a very high level.

It turns out that his most suitable position is in the central defender.

As for height, Otamendi's height and heels Puyol, Ayala and Cannavaro and other central defenders are not tall. They are all in the stream of consciousness and are also frizzy. But now they are only twenty-six years old and still have room for improvement.

Haven’t you seen that Ramos and Pepe were also defending teams back then, and they were so frivolous?

Puyol, Ayala, Cannavaro, who was not frigid when these guys were twenty-five or six years old?

It’s just that the media was not yet developed at the time, and the focus was generally on the midfield and frontcourt, so they were more indifferent to the players on the back line and didn’t pay much attention to it.

No matter how it is now, every move is infinitely magnified.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Otamendi's performance at Atletico Madrid is becoming more and more stable and better.

After letting Miranda go in the new season, Otamendi will become the defensive thigh of the Bedsheets Legion.

"Master Huan, how are you feeling now?"

Platini, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, suddenly asked with some bad taste.

When Yang Huan heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly, "What mood? What can I have?"

In fact, it is really hard to say what he feels right now.

If you want to say regrets, it is indeed quite a waste.

If Hazard's ball was passed just now, Suarez would have followed, and there would be a great chance.

But if the Saints scored, wouldn't Atletico Madrid be messed up?

You know, in terms of overall strength, Atletico Madrid and Southampton are still slightly inferior.

So, Yang Huan’s feeling is very complicated now.

It even reminded him of a joke and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, Michelle, I'll ask you a question!"

"Hmm? OK, ask!" Platini was a little surprised.

"If your wife and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"

Platini was depressed, what was the problem?

But soon, he figured out that the question Mr. Huan asked wasn’t just about his current mood?

The UEFA President immediately laughed and shook his head and said, "Sorry, Master Huan, I can't swim, but my mother and my wife are both swimmers!"

"Well……"
