After entering February, the record of Atletico and Manchester United is probably like this. Atletico 4-2 wins and 2 losses, Manchester United 5-2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, Atletico did not play Levante, Manchester United were eliminated by Middlesbrough, both teams are in the situation of "it is difficult to win the game unless the opponent dies a big death", so as soon as the Champions League schedule is restarted, the brothers are both bright...
Atletico: The long-awaited soft persimmons are coming.
MANCHESTER UNITED: The long-awaited soft persimmons are coming.
According to the ancient terms of the mainland to describe the trade between the country and foreign countries, the two teams should be regarded as "strategic persimmon" states.
However, in order to show the sincerity of the guests, Manchester United decided to take the lead in visiting a pier. In the opening five minutes, B Fee successfully lost the ball three times, Maguire sent an unnecessary corner, and then used his speed advantage to make Felix stand out in front of him... Although Cristiano Ronaldo is the player with the most hats at Atletico, who does not have a Portuguese No. 7?
In this way, Atletico opened the lottery in the first 6 minutes. Then, Ronnick's tactical test field in this field was gradually displayed in front of everyone.
First, he played right-back with Lindelof, leaving both Wan Bissaka and Dalot on hold.
Second, he had Sancho retreat deeply to engage in attack and defence, playing like a wing-back.
Third, he arranged for Pogba to be the main promoter, while B Fei was a free man with no place to live.
This deployment is mainly to take advantage of the change in position of Lindelof and Sancho, which can change 5-3-2 in defense and form a personnel counterpart with Atletico's attack; in attack, it can change 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2, allowing Sancho and Luke Shaw to insert in front of the midfield. If all goes well, United could even save a mathematical effort to free B Fees...
However, for Manchester United now, the tactical interface is too complicated. Between the changes, the players are very sloppy in the timing of advances and substitutions, so that what is presented to the audience becomes two other scenes.
A. Turning into a true four-back in attack, Lindelof, as a heavy full-back, could not go up, and was directly paralyzed on the right.
B. Defensively becoming a true triple-back, Sancho often falls short, leaving all the space between him and Victor Lindelof to Lodi.
As a result, Lindelof was constantly blasted in front of the fast horse, coupled with poor control of the second point, resulting in Lodi's cross, cross, and re-passing picture also being pasted and copied in the following game. In the absence of Carrasco, what forced Lodi to become Robert Carlos was actually Lang Shuai's heart of seeking innovation and change.
Fred, who has a single back, can only bring a tissue to the field and wipe everyone's ass. And he soon discovered that there were extra many butts today. Because, everyone loses the ball too easily.
In the first half, Pogba had 4 successes in 13 confrontations and conceded the ball 12 times; throughout the game, B Fee had 6 successful confrontations and 23 times lost the ball. Obviously, Simeone has long been concerned about the problem of Manchester United's inability to play the ball at the back, so he does not hesitate to use the way of overdrafting his physical strength in advance to make high-level pressing, and also arranges different defensive tactics for Manchester United:
As soon as Pogba took the ball, the brothers rushed up, and the ball fell; B Fei took the ball, found someone to top his waist and eyes, and the ball also fell; Fred took the ball, everyone just needed to stand in their respective positions, Fred could even send the ball back by himself... In the eyes of Manchester United players, today's Condobia and Herrera are not people, but Central African dinosaurs and Mexican brown bears.
Fortunately, Atletico is no longer the Same Atletico as before. At that time, Atletico, after taking a 1-0 lead, everyone shut down and went to sleep, but now Atletico, after 1-0, you don't even have time to go to the toilet. They have a lot of time to be caught by their opponents to counterattack, and they often inexplicably extend a small hand in the penalty area that has nowhere to put it.
Moreover, the advantage of Atletico in this game is too concentrated in the middle, the wing does miss a lot of opportunities to plug in, and then C Ronaldo grabbed the best position of the center by withdrawing and counter-inserting, and then the scene became like this...
What to say, the side pass of Manchester United in this game, I think it can not be counted as a cross, it should be called a wall-hitting two-over-ten, a good medicine for the cervical spine disease of the center, a preview of the scene after the national football plan C Ronaldo... There were a few crosses that made me feel like a Manchester United player was playing badminton and Cristiano Ronaldo was the net in the middle.
In the absence of a strong attack, United's defense has further aircrafted. In the 45th minute, Atletico used a simple free kick to combine, Lodi inserted, the ball slid through one two three four five six six seven Manchester United players, and finally accurately found the back point of Vrsaliko... Fortunately, the goalpost next to De Gea is more capable than Maguire.
The inability to play at the back, the repeated interruption of the midfield, and the kite flying in the front, United can only endure the dilemma of the center wingers being imprisoned. Finally, Lang Shuai, whose enthusiasm for scientific research declined, decided to make adjustments in the second half.
In the 66th minute, United replaced Lindelof and Pogba with Wanbisaka and Nemanja Matic, restoring a decent four-back and double-back. Then, Atletico's overdrawn fitness bar in the first half finally lit up the red alert, and then Griezmann and Lemar prepared to replace the field - Simeone replaced two attackers when leading, which is also a long time.
However, Atletico replaced felix and Lodi, the most threatening in the game, Manchester United not only began to gradually regain possession, but also used the living forces of Tres and Erlanga to continue to impact, and after 70 minutes, Atletico's defense was maintained for a while... Very scattered.
In fact, speeding up, asking for space, passing straight, rushing behind atletico's center-backs, this is Ronnick's original tactical arrangement, but this guy's substitution ability is greater than the starting line, so the effect is not revealed until the end of the game.
In the 80th minute, B Fei's straight plug touched Atletico Madrid's centre-back, and Erlanga flashed in, and although he had Oblak and the goalpost in front of him, there was only one thing he needed to do, and that was: don't push off.
Yes, Oblak, who has saved 77% and 80% of saves in the first two seasons, has fallen badly in form this season. After entering 2022, his save success rate dropped to 21.4%, the lowest of all goalkeepers in the five major leagues.
In the end, Atletico and Manchester United opened the first leg of each other to a draw, and the two teams met at Old Trafford to fight again.
Finally, let's talk about the B fee.
In the end, B Fei is a player with double-edged sword attributes, his biggest problem is that he does not have the ability to get rid of it, the defensive intensity will automatically drop his value as soon as he comes up, and his offensive style is rich and dangerous, always wanting to solve all problems with one foot. Therefore, B Fee is a guy who can use the revolver gun to bet on the odds, but the price is to kill eight hundred and lose a thousand.
True, he's a frontcourt vampire, but he's also the first player in the Premier League to assist in six consecutive Champions League games. On his ledger this season, there are already statistics of 9 goals and 14 assists.
Overall, manchester United is still inseparable from the B fee. Because the Red Devils' midfield organization is not systematic, the state of the master has declined, Erlanga has just entered the East House, C Ronaldo has more roles positioned on the cake, and Manchester United need b fees, which can be made out of nothing.
Therefore, on the question of whether B fees go to the electronics factory to report, the old fans are actually more tolerant than the new fans. Because whenever someone shouts "Let's go back to the way we played in previous years", everyone immediately remembers that year... The era when it was ruled by Emperor Zhong Wuyan of Petilin.
