Chapter 85 Is this a relegation team?
At halftime, there was a deathly silence in the visiting team's dressing room.

Thinking back to last season, it was also in this locker room. They celebrated the team's goal with a burst of joy during halftime.

But now, everyone is hanging their heads, like a defeated rooster.

As the defending champion of La Liga, the first half was really useless!

"That damn French guy keeps scolding me all day long. I told him clearly that my name is Victor, but he just calls me Juanma and wants to kill me all day long. Doesn't he understand Spanish?"

Victor Sanchez finally breaks his silence.

Everyone could hear that he was looking for excuses for his poor performance in the first half.

Evra played like a madman in the first half, very short, but crazy defensively and offensively.

The key is, this guy's physical fitness is really good.

Well, a bit like Davis in the Netherlands, like a rampaging wild boar.

Victor Sanchez opened up the chatterbox, and everyone's complaints came out one after another.

Dejaminha accused Atletico Madrid's Gravesen of playing dirty and aggressive, and that the referee was too soft in enforcing the law and taking care of the home team; Makai complained that Lucio was simple-minded and had strong limbs...

"The midfielder and backfielder should give the frontline more support. I think one of the two defensive midfielders should come up to cooperate and share the defensive pressure." Left winger Fran suggested.

He felt that he did not have much support on the left side.

Dejaminha has always been like this when playing football. He keeps his head down and leads forward, straight up and down, rarely caring about the sides.

This is actually a big problem.

Just like today, when Atletico Madrid's double midfielders clamped down on Dejaminha, Deportivo's two wings were cut open.

After listening to Fran's words, Mauro Silva turned to look at Jokanovic, and both of them laughed bitterly.

They really want their teammates to come over and play with the double midfielder to see if they can restrict Deco.

This Brazilian boy is really not simple.

They don't show off when playing football, but every move makes people nervous, and every time they get the ball, they are frightened.

And the range of activities is huge.

If one of the two defensive midfielders goes up, one-on-one, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress Deco.

But this kind of thing cannot be said, and it is not easy to say it.

Players like Deco understand everything they see, and those who don't understand still don't understand even after they say it. Instead, it's more like they are making excuses.

"You say, this Atletico Madrid team is really weird. They played like that last season. How come they completely changed in one summer? And their high-position press and pressure is so outrageous. How long can they last? "

The locker room fell into dead silence again.

No one can give an answer because Atletico looks to be in pretty good shape.

But the important thing is this set of tactics.

Deportivo didn't really create any good opportunities throughout the first half. On the contrary, Atletico Madrid quickly counterattacked again and again, constantly attacking the hinterland of Deportivo's penalty area.

On the contrary, Van der Sar was the most leisurely player in the entire first half.

"How does this look like a relegation team? If all the relegation teams in La Liga are like Atletico Madrid tonight, let's not live!" Victor Sanchez complained helplessly.

As one of the favorites for relegation this season, Atletico Madrid's goal in the new season is to avoid relegation.

Of course, this is what the media said, and Atletico Madrid officials did not disclose it.

But judging from the current performance, if this team really avoids relegation, it will be a hell!

That kind of pressing pressure, especially in the period from 28 to 37 minutes, really forced Deportivo to almost suffocate, and it was difficult to even pass the ball across the center line.

But it can also be seen that Atletico Madrid's players have not fully adapted to this tactical style of play, and their cooperation is not tacit enough.

But it's already so uncomfortable now. When they further improve their playing style and cooperate with each other tacitly, will they still be able to survive?
……

Irueta was in the coaching lounge next door, listening to the players' discussions, and he began to regret it.

I regret not bringing the three great players from Atletico Madrid!

He underestimated the enemy and was careless!

Originally, he thought that tonight's game would be easy to defeat Atletico Madrid, but now it seems that Yang Hao's degree of integration is far beyond his expectation. Even the prototype of the team's integrated tactics is amazing enough, and the players can adapt well. very nice.

Even Evra, who pulled back from the forward position to play at left back, performed impressively.

At 0-2 in the first half, Irueta clearly realized that this game was going to be difficult.

What's even more outrageous is that when Atletico Madrid came off the field, they didn't show any obvious physical decline.

This also confirms the news Irueta heard before.

Yang Hao hired two physical coaches, one of whom is Uruguayan and is said to have led the rugby team before.

Combined with Lucio's several physical confrontations that "crushed" Ma Kai, Irueta began to understand a little bit.

But he quickly calmed down and walked to the players' dugout.

Halfway through the game, I made a decision, even if I knew the odds were against me, I had to finish it.

At least keep the spark of hope for the second round of the battle of Riazor.What's more, Atletico Madrid is not perfect. They also have many weaknesses and loopholes, especially their players, who themselves will make mistakes during the game.

……

"The biggest problem."

In the home team's locker room, Yang Hao faced his players. He unceremoniously pointed out the most serious mistake the team made in the first half.

"We didn't play our own rhythm at all. We were just fast, fast, fast!"

"I said that the transition between offense and defense must be fast. The purpose of being fast is to create a time difference and quickly deliver a fatal blow before the opponent's defense is organized, but..."

When Yang Hao said this, he deliberately emphasized his tone.

"If after we switch offense and defense, we find that we can't hit this time difference and can't pose a threat, then we should decisively choose to slow down, take control first, reorganize, and then look for opportunities, instead of continuing to buy and sell!"

Having said this, Yang Haoluo listed a very simple statistic, that is, Atletico Madrid's ball possession rate in the first half was only over [-]%.

There is no so-called data company in European football now, and OPTA was not established until around 2004.

Atletico Madrid's current data is collected and counted entirely by itself, and some even use manual labor, which seems very rough.

But the benefit of data is obvious, that is, it allows everyone to see the problem more intuitively.

For example, Yang Hao said that Atletico Madrid's ball possession rate in the first half was only over [-]%, which is somewhat ominous.

But regardless of the situation or the opportunities created, Atletico Madrid has an overwhelming advantage.

What is the reason for this situation?
That's what Yang Hao said. Regardless of whether Atletico Madrid has a chance or not, they will directly launch a fast break after grabbing the ball.

"This is a very stupid, very low-level, and even completely wasted behavior. Although it consumes the opponent, it also consumes our own physical energy and fails to achieve the tactical purpose."

"We have to play smart, not blindly act recklessly, be thoughtful, constantly observe, and guess what our opponents are thinking and doing, and then it will not be what they want. If they want to be fast, we will be slow, and they will be slow. , if we are fast and always let our opponents play at an awkward rhythm, we can win!"

Yang Hao also reminded Deco, Graveson and Baraja.

These three players in the middle of the midfield are like the backbone of the team, controlling the team's overall rhythm and offensive direction.

"I have told you before, once the opponent's defensive formation is established, don't be reckless, but move. By constantly shifting, you will pull the opponent's defense line and force them to run. As long as the defense line moves, it will inevitably be exposed. flaw."

"Also, whether it is the forward, the two sides, or the middle of the midfield, try to cooperate more in the ribs."

After talking about the shortcomings, Yang Hao praised the players again, especially for their performance in the first half. Yang Hao said that he was very, very satisfied with them, but he also hoped that they could continue their efforts in the second half.

"Last season, we were defeated by Deportivo La Coruña and scored three goals in this stadium."

Yang Hao said this and encouraged his players with a smile.

"Tonight, still in this stadium, we will try to return three goals to them."

"come on!"

After hearing this, the players were all in high spirits.

Especially after the first half, everyone began to gain confidence and fighting spirit.

Later, when the referee rang the bell to signal the players to prepare to enter, Yang Hao sent off his players one by one.

When it was Evra's turn, the French boy secretly looked at Juanma Lillo. He was not afraid of being overheard by Lillo and said directly to Yang Hao: "Boss, the trick you taught me really works." .”

Yang Hao coughed twice and looked at Lillo awkwardly. He really wanted to kick Evra away.

Did you deliberately sow discord?

But when passing by Lillo, Evra reminded Lillo again, "I am a striker, a striker!"

The sharp eye observes the nose, the nose observes the heart, and ignores it.

……

"So it turns out that you taught Evra the harmful moves he used to scold me?"

Back in the stadium, in front of the home team's coaching bench, Juanma Lillo was sitting next to Yang Hao, testing him with ill intentions.

"Nonsense, am I that kind of person?"

Of course, Yang Hao denied it. There were only two people present at the time, and they were talking nonsense. Why should they accuse someone of their innocence?
"I just told Evra to find a way to divert his hatred and vent his emotions. Who knew this guy would use such a damaging move? It's just..."

At this point, Yang Hao changed the topic, "But to be honest, Juanma, this kid performed really well in the first half. Look at this tackle and digging. It's really vicious. If I were Victor Sanchez, I would I became anxious with him on the spot.”

"But the ball was taken."

Yang Hao couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.

"That's what I said, but he scolded me every time he fought. I..." Lillo said he was very aggrieved.

I am an assistant coach and have to be greeted dozens of times every game. Is it easy for me?
"You've gotten used to scolding me. Half of your assistant coach's salary comes from scolding."

Li Luo looked at Yang Hao helplessly. He was very suspicious that it was Yang Hao who did the evil.

However, soon, as the second half began, the game became intense.

Juanma Lillo was also quickly immersed in the intense and intense competition, so how could he care about anything else?
Until the 58rd minute.
