Chapter 524 Counterattack
If someone asks what Magath’s team is the best, then almost everyone will answer unanimously. Magath’s team may not do anything else, but in terms of physical strength, it is definitely the most commendable thing. ∑, x. For other teams, at the end of the season, overtime, these words together are basically synonymous with exhaustion, but for Wolfsburg, such a thing is impossible to happen.
On the court, Simeone quickly realized this. With the advent of overtime, in the confrontation between the two sides, the advantages of the Wolfsburg players became more and more obvious. Originally Simeone thought that the damage caused by overtime to both sides was the same, but he soon discovered that perhaps for Wolfsburg, this kind of physical exertion was commonplace for them.
On the court, Wolfsburg launched an attack. Rong from the backcourt gave Turan the ball, and they still started offensively from the wing. Turan, who received the ball, stopped the ball above the center line and wanted to break forward. But beside him, Gabi also moved closer from his right side for the first time, blocking the possibility of him speeding up. Facing the defense, Turan immediately moved the ball to the left, without giving Gaby any possibility of grabbing, and protecting the football from the midfield.
However, on his left side, Raul Garcia has ran over quickly at this time, he wants to form a pincer attack on Turan on both sides with Gaby. However, as soon as he hit again, Turan suddenly swiped the football to the left. He almost touched Raul Garcia’s body, completed a ball pass, and drew away Garcia’s. At the same time as the grab, he also dialed the ball behind him. Then he made a nice turn to the left, which allowed Garcia to run past the position.
Compared to regular time. After entering overtime, Atletico Madrid did not have much physical advantage. This allows Turan’s technical advantages to be better utilized. After 90 minutes of the game, Turan seemed to have no physical problems at all. He still controlled the football steadily under his feet. There was no mess under his feet, and he did not give his opponent the slightest chance.
Although after this dial, he also turned to the center line, instead of breaking forward but walking backward, he still firmly controlled the football. After turning around, he also raised his head. Trying to find a route to the ball, but looking at the frontcourt, Felipe locked the wing tightly. Gaby blocked the gap that Garcia had leaked. Turan didn’t seem to be so easy to pass the ball.
Although the Atletico Madrid players are weakened because of their physical decline, their awareness of the game is still there after all. Gabi’s back defense was very good and did not give Turan a chance to pass the ball. He wasn’t the only one. When Turan got the ball, Costa rushed up behind him. Want to form another attack on Turan.
If one fails, then twice, if one person fails, then two-Atletico’s defensive ability has indeed dropped a lot, but the defensive mentality has not weakened at all. Know this. They are still forming a siege on Turan. At the same time Costa stepped forward, Garcia, who had just been dropped, also ran over again, and the two men once again tried to cut the ball under his feet.
Face double-teaming. Turan did not entangle them too much. He pushed the ball forward abruptly, speeding up a step. Avoided the attack of two people. Turan sees the current state very clearly. Atletico Madrid’s players can’t keep up with their physical strength. Now he wants to excel. He doesn’t need too many fancy skills at all. He directly competes physically and explosively, but it is the most direct thing.
Sure enough, as he expected, his acceleration prevented Costa from being able to keep up with his pace. Although Garcia was close, he couldn’t stop Turan’s dribble, so he pushed him hard to try to affect his balance of possession. And with this force, Turan really staggered at his feet, and his running speed towards the middle circle slowed down as a result, and it seemed that his feet were a little messy.
Seeing such a scene, Thiago on the mid lane and Adrian on the forward line rushed over at the same time. They were equally defensive, trying to prevent Turan from taking the ball. Even if the Atletico Madrid players are very tired, they still value the game extremely. For a Turan, they have invested five defensive players in succession, tried everything, and wanted to grab the ball.
However, although such an effort was good, Turan was helpless after all. In the face of Adrian and Thiago who were on the grab, Turan suddenly slammed the ball under his feet, the center of gravity shook, his body turned halfway, and Thiago’s defense had already passed the position. Behind him, Garcia had not followed up, and Tiago was swayed by him at this time. At the midfield line, he finally found a breakthrough.
However, in the face of this breakthrough, Turan did not dribble forward. He suddenly passed the ball and kicked it towards Perisic in front of him!
After continuous dribbling, almost everyone thought that Turan wanted to make a hard attack in the middle. And everyone can see that if Turan can really get into the backcourt of Atletico Madrid under such a heavy siege, then after the game is over, the big players will definitely treat him as a super star. . In the Champions League semi-finals, the opportunity to become famous with a goal is right in front of everyone. This is not something that everyone can encounter. Some players may not be able to fight for such an opportunity throughout their lives.
However, in the face of such an opportunity, Turan did not choose to go on his own. He completed his offense with a pass. This choice made the fans a little bit embarrassed. They sighed that they couldn’t see the mid-range abrupt in this game. However, this choice also made the teammates excited, and they all could see how wise this choice was.
Wolfsburg is facing Atletico Madrid, this team has never been known for its clean style. Although Turan relied on small skills to toss and turn, let their five players into the defense in a row, but in the final analysis, his position is always near the center line. He didn’t break forward so that the Atletico Madrid players did not hurt the black hand, but if he really ran forward, then the Atletico Madrid players would definitely foul without saying anything.
No one is a fool. Everyone can do things like tactical fouls. If you want to drive straight into the middle, this kind of thing is too difficult, no matter how good Turan’s technique is, this can’t be done.
However, this pass made things different.
Although Turan’s running just now did not directly form an offensive, his dribbling movement still attracted the attention of many people. The five players before and after were thrown into counter-grabbing, although it made Atletico Madrid’s defense appear full of pressure. Because of this oppression, their backcourt now has holes. Thiago, who was supposed to be responsible for filling the place behind, has been pressed up, although Gaby ran backwards again, but he was originally located close to the left side, and he could not run on the other side road for a while, and this At that time, the football passed to the midfield, completely aimed at Atletico Madrid’s defensive gap!
In the 90 minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid has almost no such defensive gaps. When their players have sufficient physical strength, they can take advantage of the confrontation. It is absolutely impossible for Wolfsburg to tear out such a large gap. However, the Atletico Madrid players are no longer physically strong, and their empty space has finally appeared.
In the midfield, Perisic, who had lost control, had already got the ball, and he ran towards the penalty area with the ball, directly facing Atletico’s defense. Above Atletico’s defense line, Miranda had to face his position at this time and rushed directly up, but facing the defense, Perisic picked the ball with a kick and drove the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
There, Mandzukic had already rushed. Wolfsburg’s offense does not have the habit of going it alone. Cooperating with teammates is what the players must do. While Perisic rushed forward, Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic were both making an impact together, and now, they were already inside.
In this attack, Perisic chose to pass the ball to Mandzukic. His idea is obviously to let Mandzukic, rely on his excellent header skills to complete an attack. However, beside Mandzukic, Godin was also closely following Mandzukic. When the football flew over, he relied on his strength to withstand Mandzukic firmly and did not give him any jumps. chance.
In the penalty area, Atletico’s defense still did not relax at all. Although Godin was equally tired, his physical condition still guaranteed his confrontation ability. It is still very difficult for Wolfsburg to score a goal. However, Godin’s confrontation was strong, but after a long game, it was impossible for him to completely block Mandzukic anymore. Although facing a strong confrontation, Mandzukic did not lose all his chances after all. He successfully raised his foot, facing the falling football, he kicked it on top of the football The ball kicked towards the middle!
This time, even if Mandzukic couldn’t use it, he still turned it into a chance to pass the ball!
Above the mid lane, Gao Shunyao had been firmly blocked by the replacement guard behind him. Atletico Madrid’s defense was finally broken by Wolfsburg. Although Aldweireld next to him was following closely, it was almost impossible to stop Gao Shunyao with his strength.
Within the restricted area, Gao Shunyao jumped high. Facing the falling football in the air, he hit the ball with a fierce head.
In the 90 minutes of the game, Gao Shunyao never scored. In the face of Courtois’ defense, Gao Shunyao did not contribute much in the 180 minutes of the two rounds. According to reason, the time of overtime can no longer be regarded as regular game time, so it is equivalent to saying that Gao Shunyao did not play very well when facing Courtois. However, even so, Gao Shunyao still didn’t give up after all-even if he didn’t play for 180 minutes, it didn’t matter. As long as you can score goals in overtime, that’s the same. This goal can still bring victory, this game, victory will still belong to Wolfsburg! (To be continued.)
