Super Marshal

"In the last few minutes, Atletico Madrid has begun to increase the pressing force in the midfield."

"I believe that all fans who are familiar with the Sheets will not be unfamiliar with this. This is because they have discovered the weakness of their opponents and are preparing to attack them. Barcelona must be careful."

"Especially the passing of the ball in the midfield. Although we haven't got specific data yet, we can roughly conclude that Barcelona's pass success rate in this game is not high. For Atletico Madrid, it is undoubtedly very beneficial."

"And at present, Barcelona has gathered Puyol, Navarro and Valdez in the backcourt and several young players."

"Okay, it's still passed to the midfield and handed over to Riquelme."

"Riquelme has the ball and Barcelona are playing aggressively."

"Pass to Overmars, Roberto defends well, no chance, pass back to Riquelme."

"Through kick, pass to Kluivert, chance..."

"Oh, Kluivert didn't stop, Pablo behind him defended closely and passed to the right..."

"Atlético Madrid intercepted and quickly launched a counterattack."

"It's Antonio Lopez, left back, very fast..."

"Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack, Barcelona also quickly returned to defense."

"Pass to Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle."

"Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball inwards, turned around and slid in behind, into the penalty area."

"Torres was very fast, good chances, no offside, one-handed..."

...

There was an exclamation from the whole Camp Nou stadium when Torres sprinted past Navarro and De Boer and sprinted straight for the ball in front of the goal. All Barcelona fans were shocked.

But when the red and white arrow stripes rushed into Barcelona's penalty area like a flash of lightning, and when they were about to receive the ball, Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdez suddenly chose to abandon the goal and attack.

This made the fans at the Nou Camp stadium hang their hearts to their throats and watch with wide eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Torres took the first step, reached the ball with his foot, and with a light poke, the ball changed direction.

But at this moment, Valdez fell to the ground and flew, failed to catch the ball, but tripped Torres to the ground.

The Atlético de Madrid striker fell and fell to the ground after rolling twice on the grass.

Beep! ! ! !

The referee's whistle sounded quickly!

The scene suddenly sounded the sparse shouts of red cards, which were the shouts of Atletico Madrid fans who followed the team to the away game.

But soon, the Barcelona fans launched an overwhelming booing, completely drowning them.

Here, they occupy an overwhelming numerical advantage.

Amidst the boos all over the sky, the referee finally only gave a yellow card and a penalty kick.

At this time, Torres got up from the grass after being dragged by Chico and Cristiano Ronaldo from left to right.

This immediately made him booed again by the audience, because Barcelona fans thought he was diving.

...

"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Torres did not dive."

"Valdés is young, inexperienced, and immature. He attacked Torres in a haste and was awarded a penalty kick. He only got a yellow card, which is considered lenient by the referee."

"We saw Torres appearing to be safe and standing on the penalty spot."

"It is now the 31st minute of the game. If Torres can score this penalty, it will undoubtedly open the situation for Atletico Madrid, but Valdes seems to be actively preparing."

"Okay, penalty kick ready..."

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Torres calmly scored the penalty!"

"Although Valdés made enough preparations, he guessed the wrong direction and was powerless."

"One to zero, Atletico Madrid leads away!"

After Torres hit a penalty, Barcelona counterattacked frantically.

But Atlético Madrid still took their time and held their position firmly, without giving Barcelona the slightest chance.

Seydoux Keita, Xavi Alonso and Simeone formed a three-back midfielder. Although they failed to compete with Barcelona for possession, they were quite good in defense, covering and pressing well.

On the other hand, Barcelona seems to have taken the initiative on the field, but in fact it is difficult to create a threat.

Although Riquelme also passed several quite threatening passes, he still failed to help Barcelona equalize the score, or even create a truly threatening attack.

In this situation of gaining momentum and not scoring, the first half finally ended with a goal lead by Atletico Madrid.

…………

"There is not much time, so I will make a long story short."

During the intermission, Gao Han walked into the players' rest area immediately after finishing the meeting with the coaching staff.

All the players looked to the coach, listening to his specific arrangements for the second half.

"This is a detailed data comparison of our two teams in the first half, from which we can easily find that Barcelona is not as threatening as we imagined."

Everyone nodded.

"Here, I have to praise our midfield. The defense is organized quite well. The formation and distance are well maintained. Barcelona did not give too much chance. We must continue to maintain it in the second half."

When Gao Han said this, his admiring eyes fell on Diego Simeone.

The Argentine midfielder responded with a smile and nodded, tacitly.

Although this veteran is 32 years old, he is in good condition and is very smart, and he integrates into the team very quickly.

In this game, Kluivert was imprisoned by Pablo Ibanez and his performance was not very active. Barcelona focused on attacking the side of Overmars and Saviola, and Simeone performed very eye-catching.

There is also Roberto, who is getting more and more used to playing in the position of right back, and his offense and defense are very good.

"I won't talk much about defense, I will focus on offense."

Having said that, Gao Han switched the pictures in the notebook.

"Barcelona insists on playing with three backs. There are natural flaws in the defense of the two flanks. However, the combination of Mendieta and Xavi's double midfielder is good for ball control, but defense is very problematic."

Mendieta became famous on the right side and can only be regarded as an offensive and defensive midfielder, but protecting the defensive line is definitely not what he is good at. Although Harvey was focused on the fourth position during Van Gaal's last term, he I'm not good at this position either.

At the very least, his sense of position when defending is much worse than Guardiola's.

"Look again, Riquelme's defensive contribution is almost non-existent, and Saviola and Kluivert are basically at the top. Barcelona's midfield and backcourt are very torn."

"Mendieta and Harvey have a wide range of activities. Running coverage is their strong point, but they are also easy to lose their defensive position, coupled with poor interception in the midfield. Therefore, in the second half, our offense focused on the front two. rib."

Everyone immediately understood what the head coach meant.

"Cristiano." Gao Han called his name.

"I'm here, boss." The Portuguese teenager stood up immediately.

After tempering in the second half of last season and participating in the UEFA Cup training with the team, Cristiano Ronaldo looks more confident than before.

The Portuguese's style on the court has not changed much. Dare to take the ball, dare to dribble, and dare to rush.

But it's also a good thing.

On the contrary, like Saviola, he dare not take the ball and dare not break through. Although he is fast and flexible, Gao Han doesn't like it.

"In the second half, your side is the main attack point. Everyone will pass you the ball more. Your responsibility is to dribble the ball away from their defense and pass the ball out like in the first half."

The Portuguese nodded immediately, "Understood."

"You have to listen to me, kid. Look up and observe the situation around you. Don't dribble the ball for me."

"I know." Cristiano Ronaldo answered loudly.

Only then did Gao Han nodded in satisfaction, "Behave better, and let you enter the squad against Bayern Munich!"

"Really?" The Portuguese kid jumped up.

That's the official group stage of the Champions League, and the opponent is Bayern Munich, can they enter the squad?

"Look at your performance!" Gao Han said with a smile.

Everyone in the dressing room was also amused for a while, but they were also very envious.

Anyone can feel Gao Han's appreciation for the Portuguese, and he is also focusing on cultivating him.

However, everyone can see that the Portuguese is indeed full of talent. Whether he is on the left or the right, he is quite threatening. His talent is amazing.

Moreover, although Gao Han has focused on cultivating a few players, he treats other players very well and basically treats them equally, so although the competition within the team is fierce, the atmosphere is still maintained well.

After the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half, Barcelona further strengthened the team's offense.

During the intermission, Van Gaal adjusted the team's tactics, replaced Riquelme, pushed Harvey to the front, and let the youth training teenager Motta serve as the team's midfield organizer, partnering with Mendieta.

At the same time, veteran Cocu also frequently warms up and looks like he can come off the bench at any time.

After replacing Riquelme, Barcelona's offensive routine has changed, but Atletico Madrid still adopts a strategy of defending and counterattacking with a goal in hand, and continues to play at their own pace.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left was quite active. The Portuguese teenager was physically fit, and he interspersed back and forth, becoming the link between the team's midfield and frontcourt.

After Alpine's midfield arrangement, Atletico Madrid also gave priority to the left side when playing the ball in the midfield.

Finally, after ten minutes of mad attack, Barcelona couldn't hold on and had to slow down their offensive.

Gao Han seized the opportunity, decisively adjusted the team's tactics, and made a massive counterattack.

With the blessing of the four-star assault card, the Portuguese performed more actively, and frequently staged one-on-one performances on the left.

In the 61st minute, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the left to pass the penalty area. The Dutch central defender wanted to clear the ball with a header, but unexpectedly fell to the top under the interference of Kiko.

After Torres on the right side of the goal grabbed the ball, he shook off Navarro and passed it to the middle. Kiko dived in front of the goal and scored with a header!

After the two goals were in hand, Gao Han replaced Torres with Baptista and continued to strengthen the frontcourt offensive.

And the Brazilian midfielder only played for five minutes. On the left, Cristiano Ronaldo forced a breakthrough through Puyol and failed to pass the ball to Kiko who retreated. The latter beat De Boer and assisted Baptis with a pass. Ta probed into the penalty area and volleyed to score.

Three to zero!

So far, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game!

Atlético de Madrid won the start of the new season!

Haha, I'm sure I won't tell you, because I'm afraid of missing the time, so I specially set the alarm clock on my phone...
