Chapter 39 Champions League Journey
·
Lao Zuo
The Champions League group where Atletico Madrid is in is very interesting, and it is a little different from the original time and space.
However, the only thing that is the same is that Chelsea, who has taken advantage of it, is still squatting Atletico Madrid in the grass of the group stage.
And the same combo took away Atletico Madrid 4:0.
The current 4 rounds are down:
Shakhtar Donetsk has 4 matches, 3 wins and 1 draw, accumulating 10 points, and has already qualified from the group ahead of schedule.
Chelsea has 4 games, 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 7 points. In the next 2 games, as long as they get 1 more point, they will be able to qualify from the group, and they may even compete for the top spot in the group.
Atletico Madrid has 4 games, 2 draws and 2 losses, with 2 points accumulated. There is only a theoretical possibility, that is, Chelsea will lose all the next 2 games, and they must win 2 games.
The last place is Wolfsburg, a brave fighter last season. This season, he did not perform well in the European war. He had 4 matches, 2 draws and 2 losses. He also accumulated 2 points, but due to the goal difference, he was temporarily behind Atletico Madrid. .
At the press conference before the game, Flores once again faced difficulties from the reporters.
"Currently, Atletico Madrid only has the possibility of advancing in theory. What is your opinion on this?" Flores almost wanted to withdraw from the press conference directly.
This kind of question can't be asked without cerebral thrombosis in 10 years. It's like asking a paralyzed patient, "The doctor said that unless there is a miracle, you will not be able to stand up in your life. What do you think about this?"
He suppressed the anger in his heart and replied word by word, "Every game in the future will be a new challenge for Atletico Madrid. No matter who the opponent is or what the result is, we will face it together!"
I saw the reporter write down in a small notebook: Atletico Madrid is ready to be eliminated.
……
Before the UEFA Champions League group stage, the two teams had never faced each other before.
The result of the last game was 1:1. Atletico Madrid went to Germany, and the two sides drew a tie.
This rematch, Atletico Madrid will sit at home and face their opponents with the advantage of home court.
In this Champions League match, Wolfsburg is not in a good state. After winning the championship last season, many main players left one after another.
As a result, they only scored one goal in the group stage, while the total number of goals conceded reached 8.
Despite this, Flores is still very cautious, even if it is such a wolf castle, its strength is still very strong.
Moreover, the fans have high expectations for Atletico Madrid's game.
They have longed for a European victory.
In the end, Atletico Madrid was still preparing to play the customary 442, and Flores was not sure that he would change easily in such a game.
Goalkeeper: De Gea, influenced by Lindy, De Gea has made rapid progress in these games and has replaced Asenjo as Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper.
Defenders: Valera, Lopez, Ibanez, Dominguez.
Midfield: Lindy, Reyes, Simão, Salvio, this 19-year-old is already qualified to compete for the main position in Atletico Madrid.
Forwards: Forlan, Aguero.
Lao Liu's voice sounded again in front of the TV, "This can almost be said to be the strongest lineup that Atletico Madrid can field, and it also means that Lindy has already played at the Atletico Madrid station in just over half a month. Steady footing. This has set a very good example for our other players who want to study abroad, perform well on the court and train hard off the court. All teams like such players.”
"And Wolfsburg also sent their strongest lineup. According to the information we got, Dzeko, Martins,..."
"The two teams have lineups of 442. It seems that it will be a beautiful confrontation. This will be a blessing for the fans in front of the TV."
Possible
Wolfsburg's tactics are actually very simple, half-court pressing, local walls, fierce scrambling, and resolute counterattacks, but the requirements for physical strength are very high, and the ability to defend against set-pieces is insufficient.
A short sentence condenses the author's summary of watching 10 Wolfsburg games in a row.
In terms of tactical arrangements before the game, Flores' requirements were very simple. The game must be won at home, otherwise he would lose all the European games, and he would have no face to face the fans again.
In fact, Flores and the assistant coach have been studying Wolfsburg for several days. The Osasuna game should have been won.
Although there were some twists and turns on the way, the result was good.
Wolfsburg is different, it is related to whether their jobs can be kept.
Therefore, tactically, Dzeko and Grafite, the core of Wolfsburg's attack, made key arrangements.
Compared with the five major leagues, the technology of the German team is still relatively rough.
Especially for a Spanish coach with a player background like Flores, German players are simply a bunch of reckless people.
However, the 23-year-old Dzeko is a terrifying existence in the Bundesliga. In the 08-09 season, he and his partner Grafitt scored 54 goals in total. Wolfsburg scored 80 goals in that season. The ball has become the strongest spear in the Bundesliga surpassing Bayern.
The 30-year-old Grafitt scored 25 goals directly in 28 games!
One golden boot and one silver boot, it's terrifying to fucking open the door for horror, horror has reached home!
Dzeko, a big man of 193, has an excellent header and superb skills, especially the control of the first landing point of the long pass from the backcourt, which is particularly strong.
Ibanez, who is 192 in this game, will be close to the Bosnian striker.
And Lindy, who has an excellent bouncing header, was asked to guard against the opponent's long pass counterattack.
However, the future Golden Boot has two fatal flaws:
There are too many mistakes in the frontcourt and the pass success rate is low. He is not a selfish forward, but he often ruins his own offensive opportunities.
Another thing is that the speed is too slow and the turn is slow, but this is only relative to the top forwards.
Dzeko, who is not fast enough, is much less of a threat to the frontcourt.
And Grafitt is directly handed over to the experienced captain Lopez to defend, and let Lindy always pay attention to the counterattack of the opposite side. This speedy shooter must not be allowed to get a 1v1 defender. Otherwise, with Grafitt last season In such a state, it is impossible to prevent it.
The remaining problems will be left to Fran and Aguero to solve.
Lindy is moving his body in the tunnel, this is his first Champions League game.
It is also the first time a Chinese player has appeared on the Champions League stage in recent years. Facing last season's Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg with a tough style of play, he really looks forward to it.
It seems that no one in China has been able to score goals in the European competition. This is a historic moment.
Who made our own league and the AFC Champions League too low, Lindy thought bitterly.
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.
