The Champions League group that Atletico Madrid is in is very interesting, and it is somewhat different from the original time and space.
However, the only thing that is the same is that Chelsea, the biggest enemy, is still squatting in the grass of Atletico Madrid in the group stage.
And the same set of combos took away Atletico Madrid 4:0.
The current 4 rounds of competition are as follows:
Shakhtar Donetsk has 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 games, with 10 points and has already qualified from the group early.
Chelsea has 4 games, 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and has accumulated 7 points. In the next 2 games, as long as it gets 1 more point, it will qualify from the group and may even compete for the top spot in the group.
Atletico Madrid has 4 games, 2 draws and 2 losses, and has accumulated 2 points. There is only a theoretical possibility that Chelsea will lose all the next 2 games, and they must win 2 games.
The last place is Wolfsburg, a brave fighter last season, but this season's European war performance is not good, 4 games, 2 draws and 2 losses, also has 2 points, but due to goal difference, it is temporarily behind Atletico Madrid .
At the pre-match press conference, Flores once again faced difficulties from reporters.
"At present, Atletico Madrid only has the theoretical possibility of advancing. What do you think of this?" Flores simply wanted to withdraw from the press conference.
This kind of question cannot be asked even after 10 years of cerebral thrombosis. It is like asking a patient who is paralyzed in bed, "The doctor said that unless a miracle happens, you will never stand up in your life. What do you think of this?"
He suppressed the anger in his heart and answered word for word, "Every game in the future will be a new challenge for Atletico Madrid. No matter who the opponent is, no matter what the result is, we will face it together!"
I saw the reporter writing down in his notebook: Atletico Madrid is ready to be eliminated.
…
The two teams had never met before in the Champions League group stage.
The result of the last game was 1:1. Atletico Madrid went to Germany and the two sides tied.
In this rematch, Atletico Madrid will sit at home and use their home court advantage to face their opponents.
In this Champions League match, Wolfsburg is not in good shape. After winning the championship last season, many of the main players left.
As a result, they only scored one goal in the group stage and conceded a total of 8 goals.
Despite this, Flores is still very cautious. Even such a Wolfsburg is still very strong.
Moreover, fans have extremely high expectations for Atletico Madrid's game.
They have longed for victory in the European war.
In the end, Atletico Madrid was still prepared to play the customary 442, and Flores was not sure that he could easily change his formation in such a game.
Goalkeeper: De Gea, influenced by Lindy, De Gea has made rapid progress in the past few games and has replaced Asenho as Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper.
Defenders: Valera, Lopez, Ibáñez, Domingos.
Midfielder: Lindy, Reyes, Simao, Salvio. This 19-year-old youngster is already qualified to compete for the main position in Atletico Madrid.
Forwards: Forlan, Aguero.
Old Liu's voice sounded again in front of the TV, "This is almost the strongest lineup that Atletico Madrid can field. This also means that in just over half a month, Lindy
Already established a foothold in Atletico Madrid. This sets a very good example for our other players who want to study abroad. They perform well on the court and train hard off the court. All teams like such players. "
"And Wolfsburg also sent out their strongest lineup. According to the information we obtained, Dzeko, Martins,..."
"Both teams have a lineup of 442. It looks like it should be a beautiful offensive battle, which will be a blessing for the fans in front of the TV."
Can
Wolfsburg's tactics are actually very simple, half-court pressing, partial walling, fierce fighting, and resolute counterattacks, but it requires very high physical strength and lacks the ability to defend against set pieces.
This short sentence condensed the author's summary of watching 10 consecutive Wolfsburg games that year.
In terms of tactical arrangements before the game, Flores's request was very simple. This game must be won at home, otherwise he will lose all the European wars. He has no face to face the fans again.
In fact, Flores and the assistant coach have been studying Wolfsburg for several days. Osasuna should have won the game.
Although there were some twists and turns along the way, the result was good.
Wolfsburg is different, it is related to whether their jobs can be saved.
Therefore, tactically, key arrangements were made for Wolfsburg's core offensive players, Dzeko and Grafite.
The technical style of play of Bundesliga teams is still very different from that of La Liga.
Especially for a Spanish coach like Flores who was born as a player, German players are simply a bunch of reckless men.
However, the 23-year-old Dzeko is a terrifying presence in the Bundesliga. In the 2008-09 season, he and his partner Grafite scored a total of 54 goals. That season, Wolfsburg scored a total of 80 goals. The ball has become the strongest spear in the Bundesliga surpassing Bayern.
The 30-year-old Grafite scored 28 goals in 25 games!
One golden boot and one silver boot, it's so scary that the fucking door is open to terror, it's home to terror!
Dzeko, a 193-meter big man, has excellent headers and superb skills, especially the control of the first landing point of long passes from the backcourt.
In this game, Ibanez, who has 192 points, will stick to the Bosnia and Herzegovina forward every step of the way.
Lindy, who is excellent at bouncing headers, is required to guard against the opponent's long pass counterattack.
However, this future Golden Boot winner has two fatal flaws:
He makes too many mistakes in the frontcourt and has a low passing success rate. 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 compared to the top forwards.
Dzeko, who is not fast enough, is much less of a threat to the frontcourt.
Grafite, on the other hand, directly handed over to the experienced captain Lopez to defend, and asked Lindy to always pay attention to the opponent's counterattack. This speedy shooter must not be allowed to get the chance of a 1V1 defender. Otherwise, with Grafite's last season In this state, it is impossible to prevent it.
The remaining problems are left to Forlan and Aguero to solve.
Lindy is exercising in the tunnel. This is his first Champions League game.
This is also the first time a Chinese player has appeared on the Champions League stage in the past few years. Facing last season's Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg with a tough style, he is really looking forward to it.
It seems that no one from China can score a goal in the European competition. This is a historic moment.
Who makes our own league and AFC Champions League pay too little attention? Lindy thought bitterly.
As the referee blows his whistle, the game officially begins.
