Chapter 86 I am a striker!
When Baraja decided to stay, he really didn't expect that Atletico Madrid would have such strength this season.

Whether it's a warm-up match or daily training, although he can feel that the team's strength is improving, he can't even imagine that he can suppress the defending champion in such an embarrassing situation when facing Deportivo La Coruna.

He believes that the players on the team are basically the same.

Before the game, each of them was still cautious, for fear of accidentally making a mistake.

But when it came to the game and after playing for a while, they gradually realized that the defending champion was not as strong as they imagined.

So, gradually, Atletico Madrid began to play its own tactics.

There is a phenomenon that best reflects the change in the mentality of Atletico Madrid players, that is, during the halftime break, when the players were lining up to get ready to play, Gravesen pulled Baraja aside.

"In the game later, if you have a chance, just go up boldly, with me behind you!"

Baraja was a little stunned when he heard it. Then he looked at the strong Danish man and found that he was serious and obviously not joking. He suddenly felt proud in his heart.

In the second half, especially after withstanding Deportivo's first wave of attacks, Atletico began to press forward again.

Gravesen kept beckoning Baraja to press forward and support the midfielder.

When the game reached the 58th minute, Baraja spotted the opportunity and boldly moved forward.

Joaquin failed to form a breakthrough on the right side of the frontcourt and passed the ball back, which happened to fall at the feet of Baraja in the gap.

The Spanish midfielder stopped with his right foot, looked ahead, and found that Deportivo's defensive position had been set up, tilting towards the right.

Deco and Joaquin are both on this side.

Transfer!Pull!
What Yang Hao emphasized during the halftime break came to Baraja's mind, and he immediately turned sideways and looked to the left.

Sure enough, it was empty!

In fact, Baraja does not often pass long balls. He prefers safe balls within 20 meters.

But this time, he saw the opportunity and directly passed the ball from the right rib area to the left sideline with a long shot.

Evra moved forward, chased the ball, and stopped it steadily, but Victor Sanchez, who returned to defense in time, had also returned to his position, forcing the French winger to turn around immediately after stopping the ball, and turned his back. Facing the direction of attack, protect the ball.

Just when everyone thought that Evra had lost the opportunity to attack and was forced to pass back, and Graveson was already running to catch the ball in the gap, the Frenchman suddenly pulled the ball and turned around.

Victor Sanchez was like a wooden stake, being bypassed by Evra.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard.

Especially after Evra bypassed Victor Sanchez and cut inward on a diagonal, he immediately attracted Dejaminha and Mauro Silva, plus Victor Sanchez was chasing behind him. Time has three players around him.

The Frenchman was very skillful in dribbling the ball. Before the triangle was formed, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally back. He continued to rush forward, saying constantly: I am a forward!I'm a striker!

After Graveson was taken away by Evra as a defensive player, a channel directly leading to forward Pandiani was revealed in front. He immediately seized the God-given opportunity and passed the ball directly to the top of the penalty area.

Pandiani's back was facing the direction of the goal, and Deportivo's two central defenders were behind him. However, when he took a step back to stop the ball, he stopped a little too wide and failed to control the ball in time.

"here!"

Deco appeared in a very good position at the critical moment.

Pandiani caught up and passed the ball.

Deco stopped the ball to the left, avoided Jokanovic, and then sent a diagonal pass.

This kick passed right to the left rib area at the front of the penalty area, and it also gave Evra enough advance. After the Frenchman sprinted up, he took advantage of the situation and kicked the ball into the penalty area. At the same time, he also used the inertia and inertia of the sprint. With the advantage of speed, he overcame the blocking Donato.

Donato's reaction was not unpleasant, but given his age, he really couldn't keep up with Evra's speed. Even if he turned around and got close to him immediately, Evra was still half way away.

In the penalty area, half a body is fatal.

After Evra caught up with the ball in the left corner of the small penalty area, he shot low with his left foot. The ball went straight to the right side of the goal in a straight line, hit the inside of the side net, and stopped inside Deportivo's goal line.

3 is better than 0!

The entire Calderon Stadium was boiling in an instant.

More than 5 Atletico fans were screaming wildly.

After Evra scored, he immediately turned around and ran back. No matter who stopped him along the way, he ignored him and kept running. He ran straight to the home team's coaching bench on the sidelines and stood upright in front of Hu. In front of Anmar Lillo.

"I'm a striker!"

Yang Hao was standing in the coaching area. Seeing the embarrassment on Juanma Lillo's face, he almost laughed out loud.

Evra's thorny reputation is indeed well-deserved, he is so capable at the age of 19.

But let’s not talk about it, the goal just now was really beautiful.

This kid is really kicking crazy!
……

When the game reached the 65th minute, Irueta made a substitution and replaced Makai with Tristan.

Tonight, under the joint "care" of Lucio and Pochettino, the Dutchman failed to get any chances, and he was unable to perform his best scoring job.

Yang Hao then replaced Vicente with Reyes.

After the warm-up match and daily training observations, Yang Hao had a deeper understanding of Vicente.This Spanish winger actually has a big limitation, that is, he is better at making crosses from the bottom and making him go diagonally. He is not used to it, so when Evra pushed forward just now, Vicente was still on the side. road.

Of course, this is normal. Joaquín also likes to play on the right side.

This is a characteristic of Spanish traditional wingers.

On the contrary, Reyes is better than Vicente in a diagonal manner.

Yang Hao now replaces Reyes because he actually wants to further examine the players.

Deportivo is a rare opponent, especially in a game like the Super Cup. With a 3-0 lead, it is a rare opportunity to give their players a try.

"Have you noticed? Baraja actually still needs to be released. This kid plays football smoothly and is too honest." Yang Hao said.

Juanma Lillo was angry at Evra just now. He knew that it was Yang Hao who was responsible, and he still felt a little resentful in his heart.

But since they were discussing serious matters, he could only answer.

"Isn't it better to be honest?"

I was just too honest, so I was tricked by you.

Yang Hao knew it well and said with a smile: "It can't be said that it's not good. Each has its own advantages. It just depends on how to use it."

Honest players are stable when playing football and are not adaptable, but they are not easy to make mistakes; players who are more thieves know how to adapt to changes, but sometimes they tend to be smart and mess up.

"The laboratory analysis report said that Baraja's stable passing range is 20 meters. He is not tall, and although his speed is not fast, his explosive power is very good. He is very threatening when he pounces on him and his judgment is very good. Steadiness is not suitable to be delayed at the end."

"Gravesen is an atypical Nordic player. He defends very fiercely and looks fierce. In fact, his skills are very solid, and his organization and sorting ability are even better than Baraja. But his speed is slow, his explosive power is also slow, and his movements are also slow. Not flexible enough.”

Yang Hao nodded, agreeing with Li Luo's analysis.

Gravesen is like a technically advanced tough guy, but he is still a Nordic tough guy at heart. His style is very fierce and he has excellent strength confrontation, but along with it he lacks flexibility, speed and explosive power.

This is actually a consistent characteristic of Nordic players.

While playing for Hamburg in the Bundesliga, he even served as a free agent in the backcourt.

how to say?

Graveson is the type of midfielder that the Premier League likes very much, but his technical and organizational skills are only acceptable in La Liga. Compared with Cambiaso and Xavi Alonso, they are far behind.

But neither Cambiasso nor Xabi Alonso has the strength to challenge Gravesen, especially the latter.

……

When Evra scored the third goal, the game was actually almost over.

Deportivo tried hard to create goals, but Yang Hao always maintained the double defensive midfielder position of Gravesen and Baraja, as well as Deco's attacking midfielder position, and did not change the combination of the midfield iron triangle.

The purpose is to hope that the three of them can get more running-in.

Yang Hao later replaced Belletti with Aguilera and tried to let the Atletico Madrid captain play at right back, a position he had played before.

The last substitution was left to Kiko, who replaced Pandiani who scored a goal.

Since Yang Hao coached Atletico Madrid, Kiko has not been reused. There are even various rumors from the outside world that Kiko has been relegated to the sidelines by Yang Hao, and the two have conflicts because of this.

Before Kiko came on the field this time, he specifically stood with Yang Hao and used practical actions to clarify to everyone that there was no conflict between him and the head coach.

But it is also obvious that after Kiko came on the field, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt threat dropped a lot.

It's not that Kiko doesn't work hard, it's that no matter how hard he tries, he can't keep up with the team.

This is a very sad and cruel thing.

Especially at Atletico Madrid's Calderon Stadium, in front of more than 5 Atletico Madrid fans, Kiko told everyone clearly why Yang Hao didn't let him play.

Because he really can't do much anymore.

The serious injury in Barcelona completely destroyed his form.

So much so that during the period after Kiko came on the field, Deportivo got a chance to breathe, and even organized several counterattacks that looked like it.

Tristan is more versatile than Ma Kai, especially as a center, he has better skills and stronger ability to hold the ball.

Yang Hao understood very well why Irueta sold Ma Kai in his previous life, not only because the transfer fee from Bayern was high enough, but also because Deportivo already had a comprehensive center like Tristan.

In the end, at the referee's whistle and amid the cheers of more than 5 Atletico Madrid fans, Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruña 3-0 at home in the first round of the Spanish Super Cup.

In this battle, Yang Hao's team wiped away the shame of being completely defeated by Super Deportivo at home last season, and at the same time, it also allowed everyone to get to know Atletico Madrid again.

Yang Hao made a high-profile statement at the post-match press conference.

"Everyone believes that we are going to avoid relegation this season, but I want to say here that our goal has never been to avoid relegation."

"This game is our best proof!"
