Chapter 136 Winning streak!Make winning a habit! [A big chapter with [-] words, please beg me to subscribe]

"Good job, lads!"

After the game, as soon as Yang Hao walked into the locker room, he immediately praised the young players in the team.

Reversing Sevilla 3-1 was indeed an exciting game.

Especially the second half.

Now, there are not only coaches and players in the locker room, but also players who have not made the roster, such as Simeone, Aguilera and others, are all present at this time, squeezing the entire locker room together.

This group of young players performed really well.

Kiko, who has retired, also made a special trip to send congratulations to his "favorite disciple" Torres.

The whole locker room was full of joy and excitement.

Yang Hao was not stingy with his praise. He praised Torres, Reyes, Kaka and others together with everyone, including Marcos Senna, who was among Yang Hao's praise list.

Until Parales came over to remind him that it was almost time to attend the post-game press conference.

When I walked out of the locker room, I happened to see Andrew Balasco from the team's press and public relations department.

"Several media have just contacted me, hoping to interview some of our young players who performed well tonight."

The two of them walked and chatted towards the press conference hall.

"You agreed?" Yang Hao asked.

Andrew Balasco shook his head, "Aren't I asking your opinion first?"

The main reason is that he may not be sure whether this is suitable or not.

"Push it away." Yang Hao thought for a while and said.

Andrew Balasco immediately understood what Yang Hao meant.

The media and the team are like symbioses, interdependent, especially in the 21st century. If the club wants to publicize and promote, it needs the network and energy of the media.

But there is a point that is difficult to control. Where is the scale?
For example, many people say that England produces many geniuses every year, but the results are getting worse year by year.

why?

Because the media operates from a profit perspective, he has an inherent need to create stars.

Therefore, whenever a young player emerges, he is immediately given the title of XX II, a genius once seen in many years, etc., and is praised and promoted desperately.

But this is the case with young players. He is immature and his performance will have ups and downs. He will make mistakes whether on or off the court.

So what should we do once a player's performance is sluggish or he hits the rookie wall?

The media does not have the patience to wait for you. They will cater to the needs of some or most readers and fans, and will even create gimmicks to create this demand and "destroy" this player.

Make stars and destroy stars. This situation is the same in every country in the world.

In 2023, traffic is a double-edged sword.

It can build you up, but it can also destroy you when it comes back.

After all, he can't last long with false bubbles.

So, now, the higher you exalt these young players at Atletico Madrid, the worse they will fall when one day they encounter difficulties and perform poorly, and they will even never recover.

Are there few such examples?

Real Madrid's Portillo and Jese, and Barcelona's Bojan and Messi II, what kind of glorious players were they back then?

At that age, their talent and strength are unquestionable.

The club and fans around the world are not blind, but why did they end up like that?
Because they once stood very high, whether it was imposed on them by their surroundings or by themselves, they seriously overestimated themselves. When they fell, they found that there was nothing under their feet.

Therefore, Yang Hao still hopes that these young players in the team will move forward step by step.

When they perform better and better, there is no need to deliberately praise them, they will naturally kick out.

But at this stage, they need more protection from Atletico Madrid.

"Also, just tell them that I am not in a good mood recently and will not accept any interviews, and neither does Mahadahonda."

Yang Hao said to Andrew Balasco next to him.

Atletico Madrid's press officer smiled bitterly, but he could only agree.

In fact, he knew that Yang Hao did not want media reporters to penetrate too much into Mahadahonda.

Previously, a staff member of the training base leaked the information to reporters in private without any exchange of benefits, but he was still fired by Yang Hao to serve as a warning to others.

Sometimes, Andrew Balasco feels that Yang Hao is too sensitive?
However, in previous participation in the UEFA Cup finals and some away games, such as the recent trip to Scotland to play Celtic, Atletico Madrid allowed many media reporters to report with the team, but these were all with Yang Hao's permission.

Therefore, Andrew Balasco feels that what Yang Hao values ​​​​is still controllability.

……

After the second round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid's league ranking rose to 2th.

Although it is still not ideal, it is at least mid-range.

The most important thing is the outstanding performance of Atletico Madrid's young players when they played Sevilla this round.

Although Yang Hao praised the players internally within the team, he still treated them coldly externally.

In private, he also explained his intentions to the players.

But this still cannot stop media reporters from praising several young players. After all, no matter which country or team they are, they all like to praise young talents.

It's fresh, that's normal.

After two rounds of games, Celta Vigo is at the top of the list again.

Yang Hao really feels that this team's ability to grab the start is really strong. This was true last season and it is still true this season.

Real Madrid and Deportivo also have two consecutive victories, Barcelona has one win and one draw, but Valencia is not very ideal.

With one draw and one loss, they are currently ranked 16th in La Liga.

But Yang Hao is not worried about Benitez's team at all. The league has just begun.

Within Atletico Madrid, with the second round, the outstanding performance of this group of young guys not only scored 2 points, but more importantly, they sent a very dangerous signal to the team's starting lineup players.

Their position is not safe.

The players in Atletico Madrid's first team are actually relatively young, so they are the most able to appreciate this threat.

Precisely because of this, when the team defeated Sevilla and young players such as Torres and Kaká were well received, other players naturally felt threatened.

This threat is not enough to make the atmosphere within the team worse, but the competition is definitely more intense.

During the training the next day, Yang Hao clearly felt the enthusiasm visible to the naked eye in the players.

The substitute rotation and second team players are trying their best to rush up, while Adriano and other original first team starters are desperately trying to run faster.

This is reflected in the training, where everyone has become extra hardworking.

"This is an unexpected gain." Yang Hao laughed.

Juanma Lillo was convinced.

Who said no?
If a team doesn't have internal competition, it's like a backwater, and everyone has to muddle along.

Like now, everyone is working hard, which can stimulate greater potential and bring vitality to the team.

Yang Hao has always believed in his previous life that one of the biggest problems with Real Madrid's first phase of Galacticos was that the superstars had no competitive pressure at all and simply relied on conscious self-discipline to restrain themselves.

Because whether they perform well or poorly, no one will shake their position.

But human nature is the thing that cannot stand the test the most.

It was okay at the beginning, but as time goes by, who can guarantee that I will not slack off or be assimilated and numb by the people around me?
This requires the introduction of competition.

"It's good like it is now. I think we can really consider giving more opportunities to young people." Juanma Lillo suggested.

Yang Hao nodded, "You still have to control the scale, otherwise it will be counterproductive."

The intensity of competition must be controlled.

Once it is passed, it will easily lead to conflicts within the locker room, which is not good.

Li thought for a moment and understood what Yang Hao meant.

……

Since taking over Celtic in place of Dalglish, Martin O'Neill's achievements have been outstanding.

So far, this Scottish Premiership giant has played 8 games, with 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

The game they lost was the second leg of the Champions League third-round qualifying match at home against Ajax. At that time, Celtic had already defeated Ajax 3-1 away from home in the first leg.

After returning home, Martin O'Neill chose to save some energy.

As for the draw, it was also to save energy for the Champions League peripheral qualifiers.

It can be said that since taking over, Martin O'Neill has almost created the best start for the Celtics in recent years.

Especially the away game, which was a 2-0 win over the top rivals Rangers.

This season's Celtics can be said to be very strong. On the front line, they have signed Chelsea high center Chris Sutton, and Larsson, who just won the European Golden Boot at the UEFA awards ceremony.

Sutton, a high center forward, is not simple. In 99, Chelsea paid a full 1500 million pounds to get him from Blackburn.

The midfielder includes Bulgarian international Petrov and former Dortmund Champions League champion midfielder Paul Lambert, who was even famous for freezing Zidane when facing Juventus.

This is the first time Martin O'Neill has led the team to play in the Champions League. He is ambitious and wants to make a name for himself.

The Champions League group stage is a round robin. As a fourth-tier team, the Celtics are destined to have bad luck.

It goes without saying that Juventus is a top club. Atletico Madrid was the double champion of La Liga and the UEFA Cup last season, and its strength is also extraordinary. There is also Porto, which is also a powerful team in the Portuguese Super League.

In front of these teams, the Celtics have no advantage in strength.

In this case, you have to work on your strategy.

Juventus, with its superstars, is a powerful presence for any team.

Therefore, Martin O'Neill and assistant coach John Robertson both believe that Juventus will be the top favorite in the group. Whether it is Porto or Atletico Madrid, it will be difficult to challenge the Bianconeri's position in this group.

Lippi is a top coach with extremely rich experience, and it will be difficult for Martin O'Neill to take advantage of him.

If the Celtics want to break out of the group stage, the breakthrough must be with Porto and Atletico Madrid.

Needless to say, Porto is a team in the Portuguese Super League. Atletico Madrid sold two generals, Pandiani and Graveson, this summer, and its strength has been weakened compared to last season.

In this case, the Celtics are still capable of fighting.

Especially at home.

"Judging from the information we have so far, Atletico Madrid's Yang Hao played almost a full substitute lineup against Sevilla in the league last weekend, and the result was 3-1. Their young players are indeed good. .”

Assistant coach Paul Robertson said.

"What about your suggestion?" Martin O'Neill frowned and asked.

As a fourth-tier team, no matter who the Celtics face, it will be difficult.

"I think the first game of the group stage is also at home, so we still have to find a way to grab a win."

During the summer training camp, Martin O'Neal prepared two sets of tactics for the Celtics, one was the 442 double forward tactic, and the other was the 352 tactic.

Double forwards are standard. This is the Celtics' hope of winning. The key lies in the number of midfielders.

352 is obviously more aggressive than 442.

"Atletico Madrid is very good at playing on the wing. Yang Hao rotated last weekend. In this midweek game, Vicente and Joaquin will definitely play." Martin O'Neill expressed his concerns.

"I know, but I think, with Alan Thompson and Didier Agathe, at the beginning, we took advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold, grabbed a wave first, grabbed a goal, and let them retreat. We’re a back five.”

The English player Alan Thompson on the left and the French player Didier Agathe on the right are both offensive and defensive. They can participate in the attack forward and retreat to defend, which is very useful.

The assistant coach's offer was tempting.

With the Celtics' situation, if they still want to qualify from the group, they must win at home.

If you can't win at home, do you still expect to grab 3 points in the away game?
When facing Ajax, Martin O'Neill's strategy was to defend away from home and attack again at home.

But who would have thought that in the first 7 minutes, the Celtics scored a goal with just a symbolic charge.

After losing the ball at home, Ajax went crazy and started to press wildly. Agathe scored the second goal in the 19th minute.

By this point, Ajax was almost in despair.

Later at home, the Celtics also fought back and forth with Ajax, and in the end they only lost a small goal to Ajax.

After two rounds of competition, Martin O'Neill gradually realized that Ajax was not very strong.

What about Porto?What about Atletico Madrid?Even, what about Juventus?

For Martin O'Neill, he must try his best at home. The difference is that it is a 442 defensive counterattack?
Or press 352 to attack?

After Martin O'Neill hesitated for a long time, he finally made a decision.

attack!
……

On the evening of September 9, Celtic Park Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid challenged Celtic away.

Witnessed by 12 Scottish fans, when the game reached the [-]th minute, Atletico Madrid intercepted the ball in midfield and launched a quick counterattack.

Baraja passed the ball to Deco, who sent a diagonal pass directly to the right side of the penalty area in the front court.

Adriano is like a heavy full-size off-road vehicle with full power, moving forward at the fastest speed.

And a scene that stunned everyone in the audience appeared on the right side of the Celtics' penalty area.

The Swedish international player John Maccabi in their team, who is 1 meters tall and weighs a full 86 kilograms, had already seized the opportunity and was about to get stuck, when Adriano suddenly rushed over from behind. .

I saw the Brazilian center rushing straight to Maccabi's side. When Maccabi tried to squeeze him away with his shoulder, Adriano hit him directly with his right shoulder.

The tall Maccabees seemed to have hit a wall, and his body completely lost his balance. He was knocked directly to the outside and fell to the grass out of control.

That posture is just like the [butt back, flat sand and wild goose pose] in Swordsman.

The entire stadium erupted with exclamations of disbelief from Celtic fans.

Adriano controlled the football in the right corner of the penalty area and immediately dribbled the ball horizontally.

Guinean central defender Bobo Balde, who is over 1 meters tall, quickly returned to defend and wanted to block Adriano.

Unexpectedly, Adriano suddenly accelerated, cut inward with the ball, and suddenly got rid of Bobo Balde.

If he had knocked Maccabee away just now, allowing people to see his amazing physical strength, then at this moment, he accelerated away from Bobo Balder, and everyone had to marvel at his explosive power.

As soon as he rushed away from Bobo Balde, Adriano didn't hesitate at all. He directly raised his left foot and struck, pulling out a powerful and sudden long-range shot.

The ball was like a long-range missile, hitting the upper left corner of the goal from the right side of the front edge of the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Douglas was completely stunned!

More than 6 fans in the entire stadium were completely stunned!

In front of the home team's coaching bench, Martin O'Neill and assistant coach John Robertson were equally confused!
Oh my god, where did this monster come from?

No one knows the strength of Maccabees and Balder better than O'Neal and Robertson.

Yes, Maccabees is not as powerful as Balder, but he is definitely not weak.

He is a typical Nordic central defender with a burly figure. How strong is he?

Was he knocked away all of a sudden?
And he was knocked down and fell into an ugly posture?
Balder is very tall and strong. He is indeed not very flexible and not very fast. But Adriano just knocked away Maccabee and suddenly used explosive force to throw away Balder?

The key is, can you still kick out that kind of unreasonable explosive shot?

"Fuck!"

Martin O'Neill is really at a loss for words now.

He didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.

It really feels like being forcibly struck by God.

"How could there be such a monster in this world?" Robertson was also stunned.

Totally incomprehensible!

But soon, both Martin O'Neill and Robertson sobered up.

0 to 1, what to do now?
……

"This kid's physical strength has increased again."

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Yang Hao was smiling from ear to ear.

The better Adriano performs, the better Atletico Madrid's results will be, and the happier he will naturally be.

Also very happy is fitness coach Oscar Ortega.

"I have properly controlled his weight this summer so that I can maintain his body's flexibility and speed. Otherwise, it would be even more terrifying."

Even though the difference between Adriano and Maccabi is only 3 centimeters, in terms of physical and strength confrontation, they are really not in the same weight class at all, which is simply outrageous.

But this is Adriano in Yang Hao's memory.He has always been so violent and unreasonable when playing football!

"Now I'll see if Martin O'Neal can attack or not!" Yang Hao laughed.

He knew Martin O'Neill from Celtic, but this unlucky guy lost to Mourinho's Porto for two consecutive seasons, first in the UEFA Cup final and then in the Champions League semi-finals.

To some extent, Mourinho really stepped on Martin O'Neill's shoulders.

Later, Mourinho coached Chelsea, and Martin O'Neill also coached Aston Villa. The two had a lot of competition.

But these are things for next year and the year after.

Now, Martin O'Neill met Yang Hao in advance, which can only be considered unlucky for him.

……

When Adriano took the lead in scoring a goal for Atletico Madrid, the Shenlian Legion's offense did not stop there.

On the contrary, just 4 minutes later, when Adriano was retreating to catch the ball, he turned around and rushed forward with the ball, and suddenly blasted a thunderous shot 28 meters away from the goal.

This shot was truly earth-shattering and thunderous!
Why do you say that?

Because it did not score a goal, but hit the crossbar directly. The muffled sound it made was as if the entire football was about to explode. Everyone in the audience felt the power of Adriano's shot. .

"My God, if such a shot hits the goal line, which goalkeeper would dare to take it? Can he catch it?"

The commentators were in disbelief.

But this is Adriano.

Martin O'Neill also saw the clues.

He is clearly aware that if they continue to confront Atletico Madrid, the Celtics will definitely be beaten tonight.

Therefore, he decisively adjusted his tactics and had to let the two wingers retreat and switch to playing five defenders to stabilize the situation temporarily.

Yang Hao did not try to attack in this game.

He lined up the combination of Deco and Baraja in the midfield, with Simeone trailing behind.

To a certain extent, this ensures Atletico Madrid's midfield strength on the road and ensures the team's stability.

Therefore, after scoring the goal, Atletico Madrid slowed down its offensive.

Throughout the first half, the Celtics did not play a very threatening offense, but at the beginning of the second half, Martin O'Neal became restless again and arranged for the Celtics to try a wave of attacks.

But in the 64th minute, Atletico Madrid made another attack. Joaquin drove the ball straight in from the right. On the right side of the penalty area, Adriano attracted the defensive attention and returned the ball.

Baraja made a cross, and Deco followed up with a curve ball, sending the ball into the Celtic goal again.

2 is better than 0!

……

When Atletico Madrid defeated Celtic 2-0 away from home, Lippi took his Juventus to a 0-0 draw with Porto at the Estadio Dragone in Porto, Portugal.

The two sides fought hard for 90 minutes, but no one could break the opponent's goal.

I have to say, this is a very embarrassing thing.

Whether it's Lippi or Machado, this game is obviously focused on defensive counterattacks.

Porto, who played at home, adopted a 4231 tactic, while Juventus adopted a 442 formation.

Judging from the cards, Lippi's team clearly has the advantage, but the Silver Foxes' lineup still tends to be defensive.

The double forwards are Del Piero and Salas, and the midfielders are Davis, Tacchinati, Tudor and Gianluca Zambrotta.

Not to mention the defense line.

Just talking about the midfield and frontcourt, with this lineup, what kind of offense can it produce in front of Porto's 4231?
Yang Hao watched this game on his way back to Madrid from Scotland. His first reaction was that it is really unreasonable for Serie A to not decline.

Can you imagine that this is the world's number one mini-World Cup?

Could it be that, in the minds of these Italian tactical masters, offense only relies on stacking forwards?
In Porto, Juventus played extremely ugly and conservatively throughout the first half.

Gazzetta dello Sport commented immediately after the game: Facing Porto, which had not defeated a Serie A team for 20 years, Juventus was lucky to have escaped.

Are Gazzetta dello Sport and Juventus on the wrong side?
Then read Tuttosport.

Among the post-match ratings, Del Piero had the lowest score of the game, with only 4 points. Only one player in the Juventus team was on the passing line, and that was goalkeeper Buffon, who scored 7 points.

Turin Sports News commented on Juventus: In the first half, the Bianconeri struggled to cope with Porto, whose tactics were very average, and their performance in the second half was unsatisfactory.

Juventus is like a sleeping princess, waiting for the frog prince's kiss to activate, but Lippi's team has no such player.

Of course, Lippi's explanation to himself is that Nedved's absence has a great impact on the team.

Who knows?

It was precisely against the backdrop of Juventus, a competitor in the same group, that Atletico Madrid's 2-0 away performance against Celtic became particularly exciting.

Whether it was Adriano's violence or Atletico Madrid's several wonderful offensive collaborations in the game, they all won applause from the crowd and were considered to be much more exciting than the games between the sleepy Juventus and Porto.

Atletico Madrid also temporarily topped the group with this 2-0 match.

In the next round, Atletico Madrid will face Porto at home, and Juventus will face Celtic at home.

……

There is a saying circulating in European football: A winning team will not change tactics easily and make winning a habit!
When will it change?

Let’s wait until we lose the ball.

This is Yang Hao's current mentality. He is very satisfied with the current situation of the team.

Therefore, when the team returned to Madrid and went to the away game to challenge Rayo Vallecano in the third round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid continued to adopt the 3 tactic.

But Yang Hao made adjustments to the team's starting lineup.

There is no way, just like Marcos Senna, he can only play 10 times for the first team this season. If he exceeds this number, he must re-register, so Yang Hao still has to take it easy with him.

Once he is ready to apply for Spanish citizenship, everything will be much easier.

But Yang Hao still retained some good things.

For example, players such as Torres, Kaka and Xavi Alonso continue to start.

Therefore, in this game, he arranged a double forward combination of Torres and Diego Forlan, and Kaka lurked behind the two forwards and waited for opportunities.

Unexpectedly, in the first attack of the opening, less than 1 minute later, Torres and Diego Forlan's attack in front created an opportunity for Kaká behind him.

Torres returned from the left side of the penalty area, Kaká broke into the penalty area, kicked off near the penalty spot, and scored for Atletico Madrid.

1 is better than 0!

Subsequently, Atletico Madrid continued to launch an offensive against Rayo Vallecano.

In the 27th minute, Diego Forlan scored another victory for the team, 2-0!

Manzano's team did not dare to push the envelope when facing Atletico Madrid, and the two sides were in a stalemate until the second half.

In the 68th minute, Kaka sent a wonderful pass while dribbling the ball in the middle. Torres stopped the ball and threw away the defender and hit the goal, breaking through Rayo Vallecano's goal again.

3 is better than 0!

In the end, Atletico defeated Rayo Vallecano with 3 goals.

本轮西甲联赛踢完，皇马1比0客场击败了升班马皇家贝蒂斯，巴萨客场0比0战平奥萨苏纳，拉科鲁尼亚主场1比2输给了毕尔巴鄂竞技，瓦伦西亚1比0小胜拉斯帕尔马斯。

When analyzing this round of games, The National newspaper believed that Yang Hao's rotation system, especially the emphasis on young players, allowed Atletico Madrid to show a better competitive state, especially several young players in the team, such as Kaká. , Torres, and midfielder Xabi Alonso, etc., all left a deep impression.

In addition, when the team changed to the 4312 tactic, Torres and Diego Forlan were pulling wide, the midfielder's long pass, and Evra and Maicon's back-breaking insertion from the wing all showed Yang Hao's role in the game. Training skills at the tactical level.

The two-front battle, especially the consecutive games after the national team game, has caused strong teams to suffer repeated blows and threats.

Barcelona and Deportivo have both suffered heavy losses. Although Real Madrid and Valencia won, they also had a difficult time winning.

Only Atletico looked to have won more easily.

After this round of games, Real Madrid leads the La Liga standings with three consecutive victories.

Atletico Madrid is ranked 6th in the standings with 5 points.

……

Three days later, the Calderon Stadium in Madrid.

In the second game of the first round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid faced Porto at home.

Yang Hao continued the previous tactics and lineup, and continued to use Adriano, Vicente and Joaquin to partner up front.

But this time, Machado obviously needs to be more cautious when visiting the Calderon Stadium.

Porto still adopts the 4231 tactic, with Costinha and Paredes forming a double midfielder, and Russian player Aleynikov playing as an attacking midfielder. The three midfielders firmly defend the center of the court and are defensive.

In contrast, Atletico Madrid's 433 tactics were more free, and coupled with the home court advantage, they controlled the situation and the ball, forming wave after wave of offensives against Porto.

The most outrageous thing is that in the 38th minute of the first half, seeing that the team's defense was in a dangerous situation, Machado made another substitution, replacing left winger Ruben Rui with center back Ricardo Silva. Niall.

Central defender Andrade was pushed to the midfielder position and became a three-back midfielder.

Porto changed their tactics to 4321, with Aleynikov and Cappuccio on the wings and Pena as the forward.

In this case, no matter how Atletico Madrid attacked, they were never able to knock on Porto's goal.

Machado obviously still hopes to hold on to a draw like he did against Juventus.

Yang Hao constantly encouraged the players to strengthen their offense, especially during the halftime break. Yang Hao repeatedly asked the two wings to be wider. In the 65th minute of the second half, he even removed Simeone and replaced him with Diego. ·Forlan, using a double forward tactic, continues to strengthen the team's frontcourt offense.

The head coach showed a strong determination to win, and the players also did not dare to relax on the court.

But Porto was too tightly guarded.

The Portuguese Super League team even basically gave up on counterattack.

This made it look like the game was likely to be tied.

……

When a frontcourt attack failed, Deco, who had just crossed the center line, had to turn around and walk back.

Yang Hao on the sidelines noticed that the Brazilian midfielder was breathing heavily and the game was very depleted.

After the game against Celtic, Martin O'Neill commented that he was Atletico Madrid's Zidane.

As a result, Machado specially arranged for someone to keep an eye on him in this game.

Yang Hao knew that Deco's performance tonight was really bad.

But if Deco is replaced and the game continues like this, Porto will really be tied.

Facing his old club, Deco wanted to perform better.

Before this game, Yang Hao conducted an in-depth study of Porto's defense.

Jorge Costa is the backbone of this team's defense. He is experienced, tall and strong, and has excellent strength confrontation.

Ricardo Silva is a left-footed central defender who is similar in size to Jorge Costa, but his abilities are far behind.

Both of them are 1 meters tall, and their characteristics are that they turn slowly, are not fast, and their bodies are not flexible enough.

Porto's main central defender this season is Jorge Costa partnering Andrade.

Andrade is not tall, but he is fast and has a flexible body. However, he does not have enough strength to fight, and his foot skills are not bad, and he can play in the midfielder position.

Machado liked this, so he pushed Andrade to the front.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao immediately walked to the sidelines and called Aurelio.

"I asked Adela to come out a little, between the midfielder and the back line, to attack the area of ​​Costinha and Andrade. You are responsible for transferring the diagonal pass from the left to avoid Porto's midfielder and Pass the ball to Ade."

Aurelio is very smart and has excellent footwork. His crosses from the left and long diagonal passes are very threatening.

Just listening to the head coach's words, he knew how to play.

"How? Are you sure?"

"I can pass the ball in place." Aurelio said very confidently.

The reason why Yang Hao had this idea was that he suddenly remembered that when facing Deportivo La Coruna last season, Argentine right back Scaloni always played such a wide range of diagonal passes, and the placement was very accurate, giving Atletico Madrid caused a lot of trouble.

Now that Porto has been suppressed by Atletico Madrid, it should use more of its advantages of pulling and transferring.

"Well, tell Deco to move forward when he finds the opportunity and play small coordination at the front of the penalty area."

"it is good."

Aurelio agreed and quickly ran back to the stadium.

Yang Hao let out a heavy breath.

When Machado took office this summer, he once threatened to lead the team to play offensive football.

In Portugal, he did play well, especially when facing some weaker teams, but he has always been very cautious in strong dialogues.

Because the 52-year-old Machado must pay attention to defense if he wants to achieve results in the Champions League.

If Atletico Madrid wants to defeat Porto, it must break through this line of defense.

……

Aurelio quickly brought the coaching changes back to the pitch.

Players also quickly learned their respective tasks and adjustments.

Adriano understands the coach's intention and wants to move the ball from a high position to the front of the penalty area. When the opportunity arises, he will kick off by himself or cooperate with his teammates.

Diego Forlan still has to stand in the penalty area, and Deco will be on the side to provide support at any time.

Thinking of this, Adriano began to observe his teammates constantly.

When he saw Deco quickly split the ball to the left after passing the center line, Aurelio stepped forward to catch the ball and raised his hand.

coming!

Adriano happened to be on the right side of the penalty area and quickly withdrew.

Almost at the same time, Aurelio sent a curve ball with his left foot.

The football drew a beautiful arc and landed accurately on the outside of Porto's penalty area.

This position is rather awkward, right between the central defender and the defensive midfielder, but closer to Costinha.

With Andrade playing as a defensive midfielder, Porto's two central defenders are not fast and turn slowly, so they will be more cautious in attacking.

What's more, the ball's landing point is closer to the midfielder.

Adriano spotted the opportunity and quickly rushed in front of Costinha. He jumped high and stopped the ball with his chest.

Costinha is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he can't grab Adriano, he desperately presses behind him and is also waiting for the opportunity for the football to land.

"here."

Deco shouted and people rushed forward.

Adriano understood the idea and volleyed directly into the air without waiting for the football to hit the ground.

He is a left-footed player, he uses his left foot to touch the ball, and Costinha cannot stop it at all.

At almost the same time, Ricardo Silva was about to come up and grab the ball from Adriano's feet, and he was rushing halfway.

After Adriano sent the ball to Deco, he quickly rushed forward and rushed into the right side of the penalty area from Ricardo Silva who was grabbing the ball.

At this moment, there are people everywhere in the Porto penalty area, very dense.

But Deco still stopped the ball just right in the gap and sent a diagonal pass.

The ball passed between Ricardo Silva, who was snatched from above, and Jorge Costa, who was dragged in the penalty area by Diego Forlan to the left of the penalty spot. It was as precise as a scalpel. The ground cut through Porto's defense.

Everyone clearly felt a very sharp and cold feeling at this moment.

Adriano rushed into the right side of the penalty area, caught up with Deco's pass, grabbed the ball with his right foot between the attacking goalkeeper Baia, and stopped the ball towards his left foot.

Baiya missed it, immediately changed direction, and pounced towards Adriano's left foot again.

But the Brazilian took the lead and poked the ball.

The football seemed to be passed and shot, quickly sliding towards the far end of the goal.

At this moment, no one knew whether the ball could be scored.

But the next moment, when Diego Forlan appeared like a ghost at the back of the goal, he pushed the ball towards Adriano, almost in front of the goal line and the left post. The football went into Porto's goal.

Diego Forlan turned and ran.

Behind him, the entire Calderon stadium was cheering!
Atletico Madrid players were shouting and celebrating like crazy.
