Chapter 354: Hollow out Atletico Madrid! The whole world will support you! [A big chapter with words, please beg me to subscribe]

Valencia has reached another Champions League final, causing a huge reaction across the city.

All the Bat Legion fans cheered.

10 years ago, under Cooper's coaching, Valencia reached the Champions League final for the first time, ushering in Valencia's brief historical peak.

Ten years later, they had hope again.

Everyone is looking forward to Valencia, run by the Abu Dhabi consortium, ushering in a new peak history like it did at the beginning of the century.

Especially under the guidance of Ancelotti, everyone is very satisfied.

There are even countless fans of the Bat Legion who are looking forward to starting this new era with the first championship trophy in the club's history after winning the Champions League!

Because this summer, the Bat Legion’s new stadium will be officially opened!

This is definitely a historic moment for Valencia.

"Wow, that's really impressive."

"Now, the biggest headache is not UEFA, but La Liga. In terms of financial budget review, there are very strict restrictions, but they encourage infrastructure and youth training."

But relatively, the competition in Madrid is also more fierce.

“Actually, after we took over, we also contacted many architects, including some world-famous top designers, such as Norman Foster. But unfortunately, the previous stadium foundation and hardware were there, and there was no room for changes. Not big."

They weren't completely unprepared either.

When Nasser said this, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing bitterly.

He also has another identity, that is, the person in charge of the acquisition of Getafe by the Qatari consortium.

Atletico Madrid officials have no intention of selling it at all.

Of course, even if Atletico Madrid is willing to sell, the price will be ridiculously high.

After having a conversation with the leader, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the new stadium opposite that was almost completed, and praised it repeatedly.

After a pause, Mubarak added, "The urban population of Valencia is only 81, but the surrounding towns combined have a population of more than 150 million. Valencia is the most influential team, attracting 7 With fans entering the venue, it won’t be a big problem.”

"To be honest, we really don't want to surpass Atletico Madrid, but we want to acquire Atletico Madrid..."

"From what we know so far, it shouldn't be a big problem."

At this moment, on the third floor of this office building, club chairman Mubarak is welcoming guests from afar in his office.

After hearing the guests' praise, Mubarak shook his head with regret and smiled bitterly.

After a pause, Mubarak chuckled and said, "Nasser, the task of surpassing Atletico Madrid will be left to you!"

Among them, there have been several rounds of third-party surveys on La Liga's local and global markets.

When Mubarak said this, he continued very generously: "We originally really wanted to demolish it, but the city government didn't support it. In the end, we tried every means and could only get it to this extent. "

To the east of the stadium, in a triangular open space, Valencia built the club's office building, which coincides with the new stadium.

"As the stadium capacity increases, match-day revenue will also increase, and our overall income will also increase significantly. This will be of great benefit to long-term operations."

This group of guests who came from afar were the inspection team from Qatar, and the person leading it was surprisingly the Middle Eastern sports star Nasser, whom he had met several times in Abu Dhabi before.

Nasser nodded while inspecting the new stadium opposite, which can accommodate 7 people.

Before deciding to acquire, they also made a lot of thorough plans and investigations.

At the same time, there is the Champions League final getting closer and closer.

All fans passing by can't help but marvel at this brand-new stadium.

This is a dark secret!

Nasser understood what Mubarak meant.

Valencia is adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea to the east, and the Etihad Stadium is located just northwest of the city's urban area and is located on an important traffic artery.

The whole city is full of expectations for this new stadium.

Mubarak reminded Nasser, "Getafe's current strength is not very competitive, and it will probably take some time to accumulate. You should take this opportunity to increase investment in infrastructure and youth training to improve the team's finances as soon as possible. income."

Compared with the Mestalla Stadium, it is really magnificent!

Even, from time to time, people will stop by the roadside to admire this beautiful new stadium.

"Today, our Mestalla stadium's attendance rate of 4 people, the league and the Champions League are basically above 9%."

"The most important thing is to convince the local fans that we really want to take root here and operate for a long time. This can bring us closer to the local fans than anything else."

From the 38th round of La Liga to the Champions League final, there is a full week.

"Apart from the Emirates Stadium in Madrid, you are the most beautiful stadium I have ever seen in Spain!"

"Are you sure the seats will be full?" Nasser asked with concern.

This brand new stadium, sponsored by sponsor Etihad Airways, will have a capacity of up to 7, making it the largest stadium in Spain after Barcelona’s Camp Nou, Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu and Atletico Madrid’s Emirates Stadium. The fourth largest stadium.

"The urban population of Madrid is 340 million, and the entire metropolitan area has a population of 630 million. The market potential is indeed amazing." Mubarak admitted that the capital is indeed extraordinary.

Nowadays, there are already strong teams like Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and Getafe.

"We have talked with the local government in Getafe, and they are indeed very supportive of our local investment. After all, their stadium capacity is only 1 people, and their training base also needs expansion and renovation."

Not to mention there are many teams in the lower levels such as Leganes.

"The football market in Spain is indeed huge. Spanish is recognized as the first language of football. It has a fertile football talent supply base in South America, Central and North America, Africa and the Iberian Peninsula."

"Also, in recent years, more and more players from Eastern, Central and Northern Europe have begun to move south to play."

"This market still has great potential. If you come in, we can further expand it and become the most influential league in the world. This is an investment project with great potential."

Mubarak's analysis was unanimously approved by Nasser.

Investing in La Liga not only has potential, but is also in line with Qatar’s current national strategy.

They need influence to endorse Qatar's bid to host the World Cup.

Even if it fails to be implemented in 2022, they will continue to apply until it succeeds.

This is a national policy!

"You have developed very fast in the past three years, and now you have reached the Champions League final." Nasser praised with a smile.

Mubarak also smiled and said, "We have also invested a lot."

"At least it pays off."

"I believe in professional talents. In this regard, it is a wise choice for you to invite Soriano."

"Soriano's first advice to me was to poach Atletico Madrid!"

"Huh?" Mubarak was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Behind the two, other people in the office saw two Middle Easterners talking in Arabic, smiling from ear to ear. They had no idea what they were talking about, and they all looked strange.

"This is indeed the wisest choice in European football."

"I heard that although Atletico Madrid players are expensive, they are worth it," Nacer said.

"Indeed, our original plan was to reach the Champions League finals in 5-10 years, but now, we have completed it in 3 years."

"This is certainly due to our large investment and the abundant talent supply in Spain, but several players poached from Atletico Madrid have played a key role, such as Cech, Lucio, Antonio... Lopez.”

At this point, Mubarak suddenly incited in a mischievous way: "dig, I believe the whole world will support you!"

Nasser also couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid's popularity in European football is so "poor".

……

After chatting in the office, the group went to the Etihad Stadium for inspection and study.

Afterwards, they took a car out of the Valencia office and continued driving northwest for 10 minutes, about 8.5 kilometers, to a suburban town called Patna.

Valencia's Panate training base is located just north of the overpass where the A7 and CV35 roads intersect.

Strictly speaking, it is the central point where several suburban towns border Patna, Canada, Buhasot, Rocafort, Moncada and Betra.

Compared with the routine at the Etihad Stadium, the Patna training base has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Today's Valencia training base has 14 standard football fields and three training buildings. It has all kinds of facilities and is very complete.

Mubarak accompanied Nasser and his party to visit the Patna training base and introduced the expansion and renovation results after they took over.

"To the east is the Patna Posadas Hotel. There is an open space between the hotel and the overpass. We have bought it and are preparing to build a football field specifically for the second team and the youth team, equipped with covered stands. .”

"Look at the opposite side. That is the government agency building of the Valencian federal government. We have also reached an agreement with them. The three plots of land in the north are going to be auctioned. The government agency building will be built on another site. We will build it on another site. A training building, medical center, player dormitories, etc. specially provided for the first team will be built here."

Mubarak introduced Valencia's ambitions to Nasser, showing their determination to run Valencia.

"We are confident that we will build this into the world's top modern training base, even as good as Atletico Madrid's Majadahonda!"

Atletico Madrid's Mahadahonda is a legend in world football.

Everyone felt that entering Atletico Madrid's training base basically said goodbye to serious injuries.

Over the past few years, Mahadahonda has invested heavily and has always been at the forefront of world football and is recognized as the number one in the world.

Valencia is going to Atletico Madrid now!

Not only on the court, but also in the team lineup, Atletico Madrid must be benchmarked, and the training base is also the same.

After following Mubarak in a circle, Nasser had to admit that the Abu Dhabi consortium had indeed invested a lot in this regard.

Mubarak also revealed, "Actually, we crossed the river by following Atletico Madrid."

Speaking of this matter, we have to mention the injury wave that shocked the whole of Spain.

In just a few months, dozens of players were seriously injured, which is simply appalling.

Especially in the following seasons, injuries continued, which surprised everyone.

And here, only Atletico Madrid is safe and sound.

Yang Hao invested huge sums of money in Atletico Madrid to improve medical standards. How many people ridiculed and ridiculed him?

But everything turned around later.

"No wonder, we all still find it strange how Yang Hao can have such great influence. His words can attract the attention of the whole of Spain, even the whole of Europe, and even the whole world."

"To be honest, today's La Liga has such a situation, and Yang Hao deserves the most credit. His contribution is recognized by everyone, especially in the medical field. Everyone is grateful to Yang Hao for what he has done for La Liga and even world football. contribution.”

Nasser nodded.

As a professional athlete, he knows better than anyone what injuries mean to athletes.

As for things like what Yang Hao has done, for professional athletes, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can be reborn through kindness.

"Hearing what you said, even I couldn't help but admire this legendary figure." Nasser praised sincerely.

Mubarak laughed and said, "If I have a chance another day, I'll introduce you to him."

But Mubarak quickly changed the subject, "However, I admire you, you still have to poach, and it's best to poach Atletico Madrid. If you can poach Messi and Kaká, we and the entire La Liga will be better." Thank you."

Nasser suddenly laughed bitterly, "Are you kidding me? Their current liquidated damages are so high, how can they possibly dig it out?"

"How about we go back and discuss with the country to open an extra oil well and dig up Messi?" Mubarak continued to fan the flames.

Nasser shook his head with a wry smile.

Is this a matter of opening more oil wells?

The whole world knows that Atletico Madrid is cultivating Messi as a banner, and Messi is also loyal to Atletico Madrid.

In this case, who can dig it?
The group left the training ground and entered the training building.

Originally, Mubarak wanted to introduce Ancelotti to Nasser, but it turned out that Ancelotti and the coaching staff were meeting to discuss the upcoming Champions League final.

Through the glass curtain wall of the conference room, you can see Ancelotti and his assistants talking intensively in the conference room.

Everyone's expression looked very solemn.

The pressure on Valencia in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid is also very high.

……

"In the Champions League final, whoever scores first will make the game very difficult!"

While Ancelotti was speaking, he glanced outside the glass curtain wall of the conference room and found that Chairman Mubarak was accompanying a group of guests to visit. He nodded slightly as a greeting.

However, he didn't want to go out and meet.

Because he has more important things to do now.

That is to study with the assistants how to restrain Atletico Madrid.

"They usually adopt a 433-- tactic. Adriano should start. He will be in the front center position against our central defender. Messi will be on the right, but he can move freely."

"Kaká and Alves will support Messi on the right rib and right wing. Their side is always attacking."

As Ancelotti spoke, his hand movements were not slow at all, sliding the chess pieces with Atletico Madrid player numbers on them and moving them on the tactical board, so that everyone could clearly see what he wanted to express.

Finally, his palm was placed on Messi's No. 10 jersey.

At this moment, the Argentine's chess piece was placed on the right side of the outside of the penalty area.

“He was always moving in the space between our backline and midfield, and always around the outside of the box.”

This is where Yang Hao's tactics are brilliant, and it is also the secret of Messi's explosion this season.

The Argentinian does not need to worry too much about advancing the ball. He only needs to move, wait for the ball from his teammates, and then use his personal ability to dribble into the penalty area and pose a threat.

"We must build a cage in this area to trap Messi and trap him."

Assistant coach Bruno Demichelis said.

The 63-year-old Italian served as an assistant coach at AC Milan as early as 87. He has supported many famous coaches including Capello and Sacchi and witnessed the peak of AC Milan.

It can be said that the experience is very rich.

After Ancelotti came to Valencia, he never found a suitable assistant coach, so he lured him away from AC Milan this season.

"Messi cannot be allowed to play freely, so someone has to follow him, and Antonio Lopez is a good choice."

The left back comes from Atletico Madrid. He is short, fast and flexible, and can keep up with Messi.

The only problem is that he is left-footed.

Left-footed players are often at a disadvantage when defending an inverted winger.

Not only is Messi's left foot powerful, but his right foot is equally sharp.

Judging from past experience, using an inverse full-back to defend Messi is actually a very good choice.

But currently, there is no suitable candidate in the Valencia team.

"After Messi cuts inward laterally, Alves will come forward and take advantage of the space left by the full-back's inward movement. At this time, someone must follow, and this person must be able to advance forward immediately after our team steals the ball. .”

When Bruno Demichelis said this, he almost said the name.

Villa was unfit.

In the Valencia team, Villa is the team's leading scorer.

Whether partnering with Robin van Persie or Dzeko, Villa has a very high scoring efficiency.

"Antonio Lopez should follow Messi immediately, and De Rossi should also be in position in time. If the two of them join forces, Messi will be restricted." Ancelotti gave a countermeasure based on the questions raised by his assistant.

"Villa is an important weapon in our counterattack. If we can't let him come back, then let Nani play on the left and let him play with Alves."

Juan Mata is also Valencia's most outstanding young player in the past two seasons, and has even shaken Nani's position. However, the Portuguese winger's speed and wing breakthrough ability are what Juan Mata lacks. .

Villa can play on both sides, while Nani is proficient in both left and right feet and is also good at playing on both sides.

This brings great convenience to Ancelotti's formation.

"The double defensive midfielder is a combination of De Rossi and Aquilani. Sneijder plays the tenth position and is responsible for passing the ball."

This is standard equipment for Valencia midfielders.

The Bat Legion's style of play is a bit like 4231, but not quite.

De Rossi and Aquilani, the two defensive midfielders, often move to the two wings to help defend the wings.

Sneijder will retreat to the midfielder position at this time.

At this time, Valencia is somewhat similar to a three-midfielder formation.

Regardless of whether it is Van Persie or Dzeko in front, they will actively retreat and become the contact point in the middle of the frontcourt.

From this point we can also see why Ancelotti wanted to sell Berbatov.

The Bulgarian star simply does not have such running ability.

Therefore, when Berbatov was the main force, Valencia's frontcourt attack was not smooth.

In other words, it fell far short of Ancelotti's expectations.

But now, the joining of Robin van Persie and Dzeko has given Ancelotti's style of play a basis to realize.

"There is a question." Bruno Demichelis asked again.

"Our right wing Miguel is not very powerful offensively. Originally, Antonio Lopez on the left was an important weapon for our offense. But now, Antonio Lopez goes to fight Messi. What should we do with the attack from that wing?"

Without wing attack, Valencia is basically left with Huashan.

Defensive counterattack!

Even, defend and counterattack!
Ancelotti also looked solemn.

Of course he knew the consequences of doing so and the price to pay. To put it bluntly, the scene will become ugly by then.

He was even beaten to the ground by Atletico Madrid.

But is there a way?
Playing against Atletico Madrid, Valencia does not have such strength, nor does it lack such confidence.

The players of the Sheets have been playing together since childhood, and their tacit understanding is unparalleled by Valencia.

More importantly, players like Messi, Alves, Kaká, Iniesta, and David Silva can create opportunities whenever they are given a little space.

"We can only play defensive counterattacks, and even if the situation gets worse, we must be determined to defend to the end!"

Ancelotti spoke very resolutely, very confidently.

Don't look at him, he usually looks harmless to humans and animals, chubby, like dough, anyone can knead it.

But at the critical moment, he was more sure of his decision than anyone else.

"Our defense has to change based on the opponent's position on the court and not give the opponent even a little space."

"We can sacrifice possession of the ball. We give them the ball. They have no threat when they take the ball, pass the ball, or even run. But we must not let them create opportunities!"

Atletico's passing and cutting is deadly, but the passing and cutting itself is not a threat.

The threat is the opportunity created by the pass!

More importantly, once a team is in a bad situation on the court and cannot touch the ball for a long time, the players will be under great psychological pressure and may even become impatient, lose control, and make mistakes.

This requires players on the defensive side to not only maintain absolute concentration, but also to overcome the fear of Atletico Madrid passing and cutting!

How difficult is this?

Ancelotti doesn't know.

He wasn't even sure whether his players could do it.

But this is the only way he can think of to have a chance of defeating Atletico Madrid!

As long as it can be defended, with Atletico Madrid's tactical style, the two full-backs will press hard. Once Valencia defends the offensive and launches a counterattack, it will be very fatal to Atletico Madrid!

Ancelotti is full of confidence in this.

In the past three years, Valencia's players have been criticized and criticized by the outside world.

Many media and fans ridiculed and ridiculed them as mercenaries, thinking that they came to Valencia for money.

This is certainly true, but they also want to clear their name!

"I believe we can handle it!" Ancelotti gritted his teeth.

It’s not just the players who need to clear their names, he needs it too.

……

The evening of July 5.

The 55th UEFA Champions League final was held at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

The two teams facing each other are Atletico Madrid and Valencia.

After already winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid is only one step away from winning its third Triple Crown.

This has caused media and fans around the world to pay attention to this final.

Although, it is another La Liga civil war.

Although, Atletico Madrid has already won the championship and is soft.

But everyone is still full of expectations for the Sheet Army.

As Yang Hao said before, Atletico Madrid this season is destined to be the beginning of a legend!
Judging from the situation before the game, the Sheets Legion is undoubtedly the top favorite to win the championship. After all, Valencia's record against Atletico Madrid has never been ideal.

Ancelotti also emphasized repeatedly at the pre-match press conference that Atletico Madrid is indeed stronger than Valencia.

He even said, "We are mentally prepared for a penalty shootout!"

This undoubtedly sends a signal.

Valencia still wants stability.

Compared with the Bat Legion, Yang Hao's answer at the pre-match press conference was very positive.

He said that Atletico Madrid only needs to be themselves to win.

"I know that our opponents will try every means to stop and restrain us. This is normal. In the past few years, we have been encountering such opponents and experiencing such scenes."

"This is not new to us."

Yang Hao expressed his trust in the players, and also told everyone that Atletico Madrid will still maintain its consistent tactical style and insist on attacking!
"We will use the best way to defeat our opponents!"

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the head coaches of both sides before the game was not very explosive, but the pressure of the Champions League final itself made Madrid on the day of the game seem to be full of tension in the air.

Before the game, as usual, a brief ceremony was held.

At this time, both sides had already received their starting lineups for the game.

But when the referee led the players from the two teams onto the field, and when both sides set up their respective formations, Yang Hao realized that the situation was somewhat different from what he had guessed.

Atletico Madrid's starting lineup for this game is still 433.

Goalkeeper: Neuer;

Defense: Evra, Ramos, Pepe and Alves;

Midfield: Xabi Alonso deep, Iniesta and Kaká in the centre;

Forwards: David Silva, Adriano and Messi.

There are no surprises in Yang Hao's starting lineup, except that the central defender rotates and Thiago Silva takes a rest.

Ramos and Pepe have been in even better form recently.

On the contrary, Valencia has made some adjustments.

Goalkeeper: Cech;
Defense: Antonio Lopez, Marchena, Lucio and Miguel;

Midfield: De Rossi and Aquilani form a double defensive midfielder, with Nani, Sneijder and Villa in front;

Forward: Robin van Persie.

Yang Hao was not surprised by Valencia's starting lineup.

It goes without saying about De Rossi's strength. After Aquilani came to Valencia, he did not experience the failure of Liverpool in his previous life. Instead, he performed very well under the training of Ancelotti.

Aquilani is now one of the best organizing midfielders in Europe.

What really surprised Yang Hao was Nani's position.

Villa did not appear on the left, but Nani appeared on the side facing Alves. This is obviously problematic and must be Ancelotti's targeted tactics.

"Nani is extremely fast and has a good attitude when returning to defense. If he were on this side, Alves would probably not dare to press forward as he pleased." Guardiola analyzed.

This is obviously Ancelotti's move to restrain Alves.

Yang Hao nodded and agreed with Guardiola's analysis.

"Looking at it this way, Ancelotti really wanted to defend and counterattack tonight." Juanma Lillo also said.

Yang Hao was not surprised by this.

As he said before, looking at the current world football, apart from Real Madrid, there is no other team that dares to play against Atletico Madrid.

Valencia's current midfield and frontcourt look very good, but if they really want to play against each other, they are still not strong enough.

……

As British referee Howard Webber blew the whistle, Valencia, who took the first kick, kicked the ball back to the back line and handed it to Lucio.

Atletico Madrid's frontcourt players quickly pressed forward.

Adriano goes straight to Lucio.

These two Brazilian players are both players with excellent physical confrontation ability. Everyone is even looking forward to them having a head-to-head contest from the beginning to see who is the top monster in world football.

But Lucio obviously didn't have this idea.

Before Adriano could get closer, the Brazilian center back stopped the ball and passed it to the right side, passing it to Miguel.

Miguel stopped the ball and moved forward, but was interfered by David Silva and immediately knocked the ball horizontally to Aquilani.

After the Italian stopped the ball at the edge of his own 30-meter area, he passed a long pass to the frontcourt to find Van Persie.

Ramos rushed forward and headed the ball back.

Villa moved forward at high speed, got ahead of Evra, and picked the ball to the center. Sneijder headed the ball forward.

When Ramos and Van Persie were fighting for position, Van Persie fell to the ground and the ball was pushed back by Ramos.

The referee did not blow the whistle.

At this time, Valencia's entire defense line had reached near the center line.

After Aquilani stopped the ball, he tried to pass forward, but Iniesta followed up.

The Italian midfielder was forced to dribble laterally, passing it to De Rossi and on to Antonio Lopez.

At this time, Valencia's Nani was ready.

Antonio Lopez directly made a long pass, trying to hit the left rib area behind Atletico Madrid's defense.

Pepe retreated close to Nani. He was not as fast as Nani, but his positioning was very precise and his prediction was very accurate. He was the first to clear the ball.

But Valencia continued to press, especially in the frontcourt, creating a strangled situation.

In the end, the bat army forced Atletico Madrid to not even dare to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, and kicked the ball directly out of bounds.

"Ancelotti trains the team's defense, especially the tactical details, and he is really good at it. The defense is very methodical and the offensive routine is also very detailed. This is indeed his strength."

Yang Hao also had to praise.

In the first thirty seconds, Valencia players did a very good job in their movement and coverage on the court.

This is just the beginning, it doesn't mean anything.

But from these thirty seconds, we can also see Ancelotti's efforts.

If nothing else, Atletico Madrid will not be able to kick off the game.

Yang Hao must admit that Ancelotti's start was indeed quite good.

It wasn't just the foul ball at the start.

Subsequently, Valencia took advantage of the opportunity of the throw-in to quickly launch an offensive. Even on the left side of Atletico Madrid, they took advantage of Villa's opportunity to stop the ball first, causing Evra's foul and winning a frontcourt for Valencia. Won a very well placed free kick.

Sneijder took the set kick on the right side of the penalty area and accurately landed in the penalty area. Lucio and Pepe jumped at the same time to compete for the top.

Lucio took the lead and headed the ball towards the goal.

Due to Pepe's interference, Lucio was unable to withstand the force.

But it was also the first shot of the game.

……

After tasting the sweetness of the start, Valencia continued to press.

Ancelotti's intention is very obvious, which is to use the opening to disrupt Atletico Madrid's deployment and rhythm.

"Valencia's strength has improved greatly in the past few years."

In the president's stand of the Bernabeu Stadium, Cerezo, Hill and others were sitting together with Valencia's Mubarak and his party, and in the VIP box of the stadium, there was also a Qatari party headed by Nasser.

On the court, the two teams are fighting, but off the court, the relationship between the top management has always been very good.

"It's not enough, Ancelotti is not satisfied with our current defense."

It is reported that Ancelotti is interested in the right back Zuniga of the relegated team Malaga, and Valencia is joining the battle for Zuniga, hoping to get the Colombian defender.

But it is also revealed that Ancelotti is also interested in Deportivo Arbeloa and Napoli's Christian Maggio. These players have performed quite well in the past few seasons.

From the current point of view, excellent full-backs are becoming a scarce commodity.

“The whole world thought that Atletico Madrid would attack in this game and Valencia would defend and counterattack, but when it came to the game, we found that Valencia did not play conservatively, but suppressed Atletico Madrid from the beginning. "

Mubarak looked at Cerezo and Xiao Hill with a smile and teased.

"This is a showdown between true master tacticians!"

Unexpected!

It’s really unexpected!
Ancelotti's formation is for defensive counterattack, and Yang Hao's formation is for taking the initiative to attack.

But as a result, Ancelotti is now pressing hard, while Yang Hao is steadily defending.

This seems absurd, as if both world coaches have made a mistake.

In fact, this is the danger of football matches, especially this kind of Champions League final.

Everything Ancelotti does is prepared for defensive counterattacks.

Once they score a goal, they will quickly switch to the track they are most familiar with and are most prepared for, playing defensive counterattack against Atletico Madrid.

From the beginning of the game, both sides entered the fast lane.

After Valencia attacked the outside of Atletico Madrid's penalty area for more than 2 minutes, Atletico Madrid caught a chance close to 3 minutes, and Iniesta passed it to Kaká's feet.

The Brazilian stopped the ball in a smart way, turned around, started with the ball, and pushed forward along the middle.

As soon as he reached the center circle, Marchena quickly rushed over and blocked Kaka with his body.

Kaka had to slow down after receiving the force, but immediately distributed the ball to the right.

Messi caught up and passed the ball to Antonio Lopez who was rushing towards him. He stopped the ball forward with his left foot and quickly circled the right sideline to overtake.

As a result, Antonio Lopez did not stop the momentum and directly tripped Messi.

Atletico Madrid won a free kick from a long distance in the frontcourt.

……

Atletico Madrid's free kick failed to pose a threat, but it was a wake-up call for Valencia.

But the Bat Legion did not give up when it was good, but continued to press and press Atletico Madrid in the frontcourt.

This is definitely Ancelotti's evil intentions.

He does want to defend, but he also wants to score a goal first.

In particular, he is not willing to waste his efforts to win like this. It cannot be said that he has much advantage, but at least it is a close start.

Yang Hao walked to the sidelines and signaled the players to stay steady and pay attention to Valencia's offense.

Atletico Madrid has the advantage in terms of strength.

According to Yang Hao's strategy, as long as it slowly stabilizes, the team will be able to control the game and the ball through its strength advantage, and then turn the situation to its advantage.

Facts have also proved that Atletico Madrid players have enough wisdom and experience to handle the current situation.

During the competition, although there were some dangers, they were all near misses and passed safely.

Starting from the 8th minute, Atletico Madrid gradually took the initiative in the game.

Starting from the 10th minute, the Sheets Army gradually pushed the defense forward in an attempt to suppress Valencia.

The Bat Legion has also begun to accept this situation.

After all, it's been more than ten minutes, but they still haven't been able to break through Atletico Madrid's defense, that's about it.

This is also in line with Ancelotti's pre-match deployment.

Blindly rushing to attack, not knowing how to advance or retreat, I was beaten to death by Atletico Madrid and I didn't know what was going on.

Even in the 12th minute, Messi and Kaka created an opportunity on the right during a counterattack.

Messi dribbled the ball from the right side of the penalty area into the penalty area and passed it across to the front point.

After Adriano used his body to push away Lucio, he took the lead and tried to push Messi's pass into the lower right corner of the goal.

As a result, it missed a little and hit the outside of the base of the right upright, bouncing off the bottom line.

This is also the most threatening attack in the game since the beginning.

Just when everyone thought that Atletico Madrid was going to gradually reverse the situation and Valencia was going to return to its established rhythm of defensive counterattack, Ancelotti's team also seized an opportunity in the 17th minute, and Nani took over. After De Rossi's pass, he quickly launched a counterattack.

When the Portuguese faced Xabi Alonso one-on-one in the middle of the midfield, he tried to use his speed to force a breakthrough.

Xabi Alonso knew how fast Nani was, so he decisively chose to foul.

This foul gave Valencia a set kick nearly 35 meters away from the goal and facing it.

Sneijder makes a quick run-up.

When everyone thought that the Dutch midfielder would pass the ball to his teammates, a bang was heard in the stadium, and Sneijder actually kicked the ball directly.

A super long-range direct free kick blasted out from Sneijder's feet and went straight to Atletico Madrid's goal.

This sudden long-range shot was fast and urgent.
