Chapter 1340 Is he okay?
Goalkeeper Navas, Marcelo, Vermaelen, Varane and Danilo in the defense, Isco, Casemiro and Modric in the midfield, Di Maria, Yang Yang and Vazquez in the frontcourt.

When seeing Real Madrid's starting list, Simeone's first reaction was four, three, three, followed by a burst of laughter.

What are Zidane and Yang Yang going to do?
Hazard didn't play, Suarez didn't play, Toni Kroos and David Silva didn't play, but Isco went, which is a bit surprising.

"What the hell do they want to do?" Simeone frowned and muttered to himself with difficulty, obviously unable to guess what Yang Yang and Zidane meant. Is it because Isco played to play possession?
But it's not right, logically speaking, it shouldn't be Isco.

However, since you can't figure out what the other party means, you might as well put it aside temporarily and stop guessing.

Simeone also prepared a surprise for Real Madrid in this game, and that was Carrasco.

"Feel the gift I have carefully prepared for you." Simeone smiled sullenly.

…………

…………

The turf of the Calderon Stadium is a bit slippery.

Obviously, a lot of water was poured before the game, which was felt when the Real Madrid players walked into the Calderon Stadium.

But what really surprised everyone at Real Madrid was that Atletico Madrid showed an aggressive momentum at the beginning of the game tonight.

In the home game, the zero-to-zero first round gave them confidence and confidence.

Judging from the roster, Atletico Madrid seems to have played four-four-two, but in fact, in the game, their formation looks more like four-three-three, with Torres at the top, Carrasco and Griezmann on the two wings, and these two players are obviously placed by Simeone.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Atletico Madrid planned an attack on the left and right flanks, and Griezmann dribbled the ball on the right to try to cut in and go to the ribs, creating a foul by Real Madrid's defense.

Marcelo tackled Griezmann and did not allow the Frenchman to dribble in, but gave the opponent a wide set-piece in the frontcourt.

Atletico Madrid quickly took a free kick. Vermaelen headed out of the penalty area, but Gabi headed back to Real Madrid's penalty area from the outside of the penalty area. Carrasco was suppressed by Varane when they competed with Varane.

The French central defender cleared the ball with a header, pushed the ball out of the penalty area and handed it to Carvajal, but Carrasco also fell in the Real Madrid penalty area. Fortunately, the referee did not make a penalty, otherwise it would be a penalty.

But Atletico Madrid was not discouraged, but continued to press and oppress Real Madrid. With the advantage of the home court and the attack at the beginning of the game, they tried to suppress Real Madrid from the beginning and frequently planned attacks.

In the 8th minute, Atletico Madrid continued to cooperate on the left. Carrasco, Cork and Felipe Luis, three Atletico players created a chance on the left, and Cork suddenly kicked a pass behind him in the 30-meter area.

The ball was suddenly hoisted into the penalty area by Koke. Saul quickly jumped in and went straight to the left side of the goal.

Although it failed to create much threat, this sudden attack still shocked Real Madrid up and down.

……

"Watch out for the ribs!"

Yang Yang quickly realized the intentions of Atletico Madrid.

What Simeone wants is to use Carrasco and Griezmann to attack Real Madrid's ribs.

And everyone knows that rib defense is the most troublesome, especially for Real Madrid.

Many people say that Real Madrid is a top team that has inherited the tradition of Spanish football because they attach great importance to the wing.

Fans with old qualifications should be familiar with it. Wings have always been a traditional feature of Spanish football. Only in recent years, with the birth of Barcelona's pass-and-control football system, wingers have gradually lost their place in the Spanish national team, but they still have outstanding wingers like Keylor Navas.

The Spaniard who is good at training wingers is naturally good at attacking from the side, and Real Madrid has always attached great importance to the side over the years, which can be said to be in line with the Spanish football tradition.

Not only wingers, but even full-backs are known for their ability to assist.

A little farther away is Roberto Carlos, and closer are Marcelo and Carvajal.

In the past few years, Real Madrid's two top assisting full-backs have always been the nightmare of countless teams, but the full-backs have always been a double-edged sword.

As early as Simeone let Carrasco and Griezmann start at the same time, Yang Yang and Zidane realized the danger, and at the same time guessed Simeone's intentions. After 10 minutes of the game, they had completely figured it out.

Simeone just wants to use Carrasco and Griezmann to attack Real Madrid's ribs, that is, the area between the full-backs and central defenders. This is a major weakness of Real Madrid's defense.

"Luka, try to reduce your penetration as much as possible, and together with Casemiro, pay attention to protecting your ribs."

"When the ball is lost, it should be counterattacked as soon as possible. Di Maria and Vazquez should pay attention to returning to defense."

Yang Yang immediately gave instructions.

Modric raised his right hand high and gave a thumbs up, indicating that he had received it.

Casemiro also nodded and raised his hand, he obviously knew what he was going to do.

Di Maria and Vazquez also raised their hands to indicate that they heard it.

"According to our pre-match strategy, cheers everyone!"

……

After Yang Yang made arrangements and adjustments on the court, Real Madrid's Modric and Casemiro were consciously protecting the defense, especially the two ribs.

And as long as Real Madrid loses the ball, Di Maria and Vazquez will retreat immediately to the center, playing the role of full-back and taking the initiative to take on more defensive tasks.

This stabilized Real Madrid's defense, but it also made Real Madrid look more conservative.

Even the two wingers retreated to defend, and Yang Yang was left alone in the frontcourt. Can he do it?
The answer was soon revealed at No. 12 minutes.

Atletico Madrid is still trying to open the situation from the left, that is, Real Madrid's right. Felipe Luis once again drove the ball forward, but Vazquez followed back to the defense. Modric suddenly rushed up and cooperated with Carvajal. The ball passed to Carrasco was intercepted, and Modric quickly sent a kick to divert.

The ball crossed the center line and fell obliquely from the right to the left side of the bottom of the center circle of Atletico Madrid's half. Isco, who originally seemed to be playing the role of a central midfielder, suddenly advanced quickly at this time.

He is not tall and not fast, but he grasped the timing of the advance very well, as if he knew in advance where Modric would pass, and he rushed over without hesitation.

Gabi tried to come over to grab the ball, but Isco was more flexible and reacted faster. After the ball landed, he took the first step and picked the ball past Gabi.

The captain of Atletico Madrid wanted to squeeze Isco away with his body, but the short Spanish player did not suffer. After controlling the ball, he immediately took it forward, forcing Godin in front to stay in the middle to prevent Isco from breaking through Gabi's defense.

But just when Isco was halfway beyond Gabi, he immediately passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

I don't know when it started, Di Maria sprinted forward at the fastest speed.

The Argentine player's speed was very fast, he directly threw away Juanfran, and rushed to the right before Godin, who was trying to cover the position, faced Isco's pass and made a cross with his left foot.

The ball flew into Atletico Madrid's penalty area, but it didn't fall to the front or center, but directly to the back.

Yang Yang, who had been ambushing in the penalty area, quickly jumped in, grabbed the position at the back point, overwhelmed Miranda with a header, and shot a powerful header, which went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

But at the critical moment, Oblak flew sideways and blocked Yang Yang's header with one hand.

The ball was still in the penalty area. As soon as Yang Yang landed, he sprinted forward quickly, and when he got his turn, he volleyed vigorously again.

But this time it was Miranda, the Brazilian central defender directly shoveled and blocked Yang Yang's shot from the baseline, but at the same time tripped Yang Yang.

The referee signaled for a corner kick and did not call a foul on Miranda, otherwise it would be a penalty.

Yang Yang struggled to get up from the ground, feeling very helpless.

His header is very good, the position is also very good, the angle is good, but only Oblak, a perverted goalkeeper, is in full condition every time he plays Real Madrid, and he is able to save the ball.

What else can Yang Yang say?

……

On the sidelines, Simeone was also terrified just now. He was worried that Yang Yang's header would hit directly, which would make Atletico Madrid very passive. But fortunately, Oblak saved the team and tried to keep the goal.

"Isco!" Simeone read out the name of the Real Madrid player, "So they want to use it like this!"

In the attack just now, Isco suddenly stepped forward to grab Modric's transfer ball, and then he held the ball and brought it forward under Gabi's close marking to attract Godin's attention. This process is critical.

It can be said that Atletico Madrid's defense was attracted by Isco's dribbling, which caused Di Maria to suddenly jump in from the wing, and Yang Yang also seized the opportunity in the penalty area.

Simeone was also a little surprised by this, because it was tantamount to Yang Yang and Zidane betting heavily on Isco.

When did Isco have such a tactical status in Real Madrid?
But I have to say that Atletico Madrid does not pay attention to it.

The personal ability of Real Madrid players is obviously higher than that of Atletico Madrid. If Real Madrid is really given another chance and let Real Madrid do it again like just now, maybe they will really be scored.

"Gabi!" Simeone walked to the sidelines and shouted at the captain Gabi on the field.

"Be careful with Isco, keep an eye on him, and don't let him hold the ball easily."

After hearing this, the captain of Atletico Madrid nodded towards the head coach on the sidelines.

But when he turned his head again and looked at the short opponent who slid like a loach, he suddenly had a headache.
