Chapter 873: Completely passive

873 Completely Passive
This game has entered a very intense stage from the beginning!
For the tough style of Atletico Madrid at home, Manchester City has long been prepared.
After the start of the game, Atletico Madrid fans no longer expressed warmth towards Gao Bo.
Return before the game.
The game belongs to the game!
Atletico Madrid fans do not expect to let their former head coach release water in the game because of their enthusiasm for Gao Bo.
In fact, when they found out that their team's opponent was Gao Bo, Atletico Madrid fans knew that this game was difficult!
This has nothing to do with the strength of Atletico Madrid and Manchester City.
Just because they know what Gao Bo is like.
They until, Gao Bo is not the kind of coach who can release water, he will definitely let his team go all out in the game and beat Atletico Madrid.
Only when you go all out can you respect your opponent and your previous team.
This is Gao Bo's style.
Atletico Madrid fans are naturally very aware.
They came here, on the one hand, apart from fighting with the team, on the other hand, they came to see their meritorious coaches.
...
The game is Manchester City kick-off first.
After the start of the game, Atletico Madrid retracted its own half and waited!
When the football fell at the feet of Manchester City and started to move, the fans on the scene saw a little complicated.
Although Simeone did a good job, if there was no Gao Bo, they might appreciate Simeone's style very much.
But although Simeone has inherited Gao Bo's football style to some extent, Atletico Madrid now has a strong mark belonging to Simeone.
That is when facing a strong team, Simeone's team will be tougher, more emphasis on physical confrontation, of course, will be more conservative.
And when the game started, Simeone discovered that he still underestimated this Manchester City team!
No wonder it is a horror team that can achieve 30 consecutive victories in the Premier League!
Their delivery is so beautiful and unbelievable!
When they started to control the ball, the game fell completely into Manchester City's control.
Even if Atletico Madrid wants to foul, it is difficult to find someone.
The football is passed from under the feet of one person to the feet of another.
Pass!
Positioning!
All this is so natural.
And once Atletico Madrid has a loophole in any aspect, a fatal forward pass will come soon!
With the passing of Manchester City, Atletico Madrid players can only follow the running of Manchester City players!
But this kind of passive running is very tiring.
Simeone knew this very well.
It has not been a day or two for him to study Manchester City. However, he can truly feel the horror of this team when he is really face to face with this team on the court!
"It won't work like this, Diego!"
Simeone's assistant looked a little serious.
From the start of the game to the present, although Manchester City has not tried to shoot, but their delivery is too smooth, the game fell into their favorite rhythm.
However, this rhythm is not what Atletico Madrid likes.
Frequent robs, steals, fouls, counterattacks!
Even being fouled in the frontcourt, creating free kicks, setting kicks.
These are the rhythms that Simeone's team likes.
These seemingly very utilitarian, very pure-purpose things were brought to the extreme by Simeone!
Of course, the biggest reason for being able to play to the extreme is his team's iron-blooded discipline and super execution.
However, these things are gone in this game.
Gabi had fouled once, after Kaka passed the ball, he tripped Kaka.
This foul also gave the captain of Atletico Madrid a yellow card.
The direct consequence of this is that Gaby will never dare to try such an action again.
If he received two yellow cards in the first half, this would be a big blow for Atletico Madrid.
Of course, this sentence naturally caused Simeone's strong dissatisfaction!
He ran to the sidelines and roared loudly.
Strictly speaking, this yellow card penalty is indeed a bit strict, but this is not a misjudgment by the referee, nor is there any bias, it is purely because the referee has played relatively tightly.
Blowing tight is naturally beneficial to Manchester City!
Therefore, each of the tactics formulated by Atletico Madrid before the match is aimed at Manchester City, but under the strong control advantage of Manchester City, their tactics before the match are completely ineffective.
This is very uncomfortable!
Atletico Madrid did not limit Manchester City, but was chaotic by Manchester City.
The more the game is played, the worse it gets.
Because the rhythm is not on my side at all.
They are now completely following the rhythm of Manchester City.
It is really painful to be forced to play football that I am not familiar with.
Although the game only lasted more than ten minutes, the Atletico Madrid players seemed to have played most of the game.
Even when the game finally had some dead balls, Mane even gasped.
Mane's physical fitness is very good, even he is so, one can imagine how much pressure Manchester City has put on Atletico Madrid in these ten minutes!
"This is the top place in the Premier League vs. La Liga standings, but the scene of the game is one-sided. This is really beyond our expectations. Of course, this also explains why Manchester City can The Premier League is looking forward to it, not because the Premier League is too weak, but...Man City is too strong!"
The Spanish commentator said with emotion.
"I can even assert that even if Manchester City come to play in La Liga, they can win the championship with a very large, or even greater advantage!"
Another commentator spoke.
.....
Seeing his players were forced to run after the football, Simeone could no longer calm down.
When the Atletico Madrid players ran in front of the Manchester City players, the Manchester City players had already passed the football.
Manchester City players pass faster than Atletico Madrid players ~EbookFREE.me~ In this way, Atletico Madrid players are basically exhausted and run behind the Manchester City players' ass.
Over time, Atletico Madrid will collapse sooner or later...
Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, Simeone quickly made adjustments, and he called captain Gabi over.
"Take it back, stick to the penalty area, don't follow their pass and run away!"
Simeone emphasized.
He looked at Gabi, who was panting. If he didn't adjust, wait for Manchester City to consume Atletico Madrid's physical fitness.
"Go directly to Diego and Mane after stealing! Let them break through and create a free kick!"
If there is any advantage to Atletico Madrid, perhaps a set-piece attack... is one of them!
