Fortunately, there is still time to write a preview of the game before the start of the match, and atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 will face Manchester United at home. To the point, Xiaobian believes that this game manchester United has a higher winning chance, although it is the away side, but the state of Atletico Madrid this season is really bad, is the xiaobian support team for many years, the worst state of the moment. Attacking and unstable is a portrayal of this season's Atletico Madrid, and manager Simeone seems to be helpless about it, although different players are used in different competitions, but each has its own "mistakes".
This game, the editor believes that Simeone will still have a good chance to still line up the four-four-two formation, And the two main players of Kork and Jannick Carrasco have announced the list of the lost army, and the two have been the main players of the team this season, which will have a certain impact on the team's attack and defense. Since the departure of Kieran Trippier, the right-back position has been used by Vrsalico, his defensive ability is mediocre, facing the opponent's brave State Jayden Sancho, will be in a bitter battle, seeing this, I hope that the right side will use Marcos Llorente at the same time, with the strength of the two hope to block the United side of the advance.
In addition, the team's defense and possession is also one of the keys to this game, I believe that the possession rate of this game must be inferior to the opponent, defensive counterattack seems to be the most suitable tactic, but "anti-reaction" does not mean blindly sending the ball to the opponent's feet, they will arbitrarily organize the offensive, which is also one of the biggest problems at Atletico Madrid this season. Due to the concentration of defensive players in the past, the ability to face the opponent's mercury attack can not be lost, but this season's players from time to time make mistakes but from time to time lead to big mistakes. Therefore, Simeone must, must, must make a certain degree of oppression, starting from the midfield, the Manchester United midfield has the opportunity to send Fred, Scott McTominay one or two, he can be regarded as the worst player in the Manchester United squad, if given a certain pressure, but also effectively hinder the subsequent transmission and organization work.
At the same time, on top of the attack, there seem to be many candidates to choose, but in fact, there are advantages and disadvantages, Angel Correa, Suarez, Thomas Lemar or João Felix and other main players have performed well and badly this season, occasionally there is a stroke of God, but there is a lack of cooperation and tacit understanding between the players, so it is often difficult to oppose the joint defense system with one person. But fortunately, this season's Manchester United also "made mistakes" from time to time, with Angel Correa and Suarez being able to target the holes of Maguire and seek scoring opportunities. At the same time, due to the lack of fulcrum in the front court, Manchester United's centre-backs may have an absolute advantage in high-altitude attacks, so when the high ball is competing for the top, the Atletico Madrid frontcourt players must take the initiative to compete, otherwise it will be extremely easy to lose possession after the big foot in the backfield, and fall to the point of being attacked by the opponent. Finally, Griezmann has a long time off or has a chance to come back, is a rare highlight player this season, with his strength and experience will have the ability to influence the overall situation, but the state may be the biggest obstacle.
Finally, Xiaobian believes that it is not difficult for Manchester United to take Atletico Madrid lightly this time, after Ralph Lonnick took office, Manchester United gradually entered a better situation, although there are cases of lack of concentration and loss of points in individual stages in individual competitions, but the overall player status has gradually improved, this game Manchester United has a certain ability to dominate the ball game, as long as it tears through the opponent's defense in the early stage and no longer sleepwalks in the early part of the second half, Manchester United has a good chance to go first in the first leg.
