Atletico and Granada's La Liga play-off, Atletico lost, this game is actually very harmful to Atletico, because this game once again proves one thing, Atletico now want to rely on defense to win is impossible, but also gave the team some new ideas, this team may have to go to the tactical thinking of attack and defense balance?
Up front, Felix did well, but it is estimated that Griezmann is back and Felix may also be a full-back
Felix's performance is really good, the opening can be lightning goals, this is the ability to show, but another situation, Felix is to play out the recent Atletico rare forward speed, this is also the ability, Suarez performance is average, the future can really consider the possibility of Felix and Cunha starting, these two seem to have speed, can also be a burst, Atletico is now missing is a burst. But in terms of Simeone's own style, Felix may not be the main choice now, and Cunha is not as good as Suarez.
The midfielder is not good at playing defensive counterattacks, in fact, this midfielder is good at playing offense?
The midfield really does not have enough defensive ability, this is why the team looks like the defensive counterattack tactics are not good, but there is no way, this is the reality, Atletico's midfield is now too short of players, the lack of players who can defend, in fact, after Thomas left, the team really encountered challenges, looking for three seasons, did not find the right midfield, Lemar looks like an offensive midfielder, defense in general, but the passing stability is not enough, Trippier this season actually has few opportunities, performance is not as good as last season, These are all problems for the team. Carrasco's performance is also very poor, in fact, Felix and Carrasco played together the biggest problem, the team's side of the defense will have problems, this is the situation. So Simeone still gave up conservative tactics this season, because the team's defensive ability in midfield is really poor.
Should these gods of the back line go, and if they don't, Oblak will want to leave too?
That's the case, in this game Felipe, Condobia and Hermoso played the starting three centre-backs, the team's single back is Cork, everyone knows that something will happen, and that's the result. Hermoso's phenomenal play has given the opponent a lot of opportunities, Felipe's performance is completely abnormal, Condobia's performance is not good, in fact, now Atletico's center-backs have not a qualified, this team is still playing four backs better, three center-backs let many players weaknesses erupt too obviously, a little helpless. This backline needs to be rebuilt because there are too many mistakes, do you know Oblak's data now? The opponent will score at least one of the two shots on goal, and that's the statistic. This is the impact on the goalkeeper's data after the back line has a problem, which is a bit frustrating.
Therefore, Atletico is not suitable for defensive counterattack tactics at all, the back line or the level of defensive players is too poor, resulting in a lot of defensive problems in the team, and now there is no point in leading a ball, helpless.
