Chapter 238 Full of Confidence
"Let's relive those two Atlético goals again."

A group of team members suddenly turned black.Is it interesting to watch the scene of being humiliated by the opponent all the time?

Blanco found it very interesting. "Atletico Madrid's full-backs are used to crossing to find the striker immediately after receiving the ball. The first point is Costa, the second point is Villa or Raul Garcia, and sometimes it is reversed. Costa grabs the back point. Villa or Raul Garcia grabs the front point. This is the standard front and rear point grabbing configuration, and then Cork and Turan judge whether to rush into the penalty area to try to get a second chance according to the situation."

"Look at the first ball, Costa grabbed the back and nodded the ball. The second ball, Villa snatched the front point, Costa ambushed in the back point again, and scored the goal."

"The full-back's sudden advance to create depth is also a common tactic used by Atletico Madrid. The purpose is to take away some defensive players and prevent the opponent's full-back from participating in assisting the central defender's defense, because we know that the current mainstream formation is 4231, or like 4321 like ours. Two central defenders have an advantage against an offensive player, but two central defenders against two offensive players, fully giving the forward a 1V1 environment, at this time is actually very dangerous for the defensive side. " Blanco said, "Take this ball as an example, let's see. There is also this ball. Felipe and Juanfran's resolute insertion can take away our defensive players, and secondly, it can cause partial numbers. Advantages, the attacking midfielder retreats and the full-back forms a linkage, Turan can use his dominant foot to cut inside and shoot, and Cork can comfortably kick the ball to find the striker. In the game the day after tomorrow, everyone must pay attention to this.”

"Let's talk about Kok. Is he about the same age as Hao? Of course, he is not as famous as Hao, but his strength should not be underestimated."

"Do you think he is as powerful as Hao?" Cavani, who has maintained a good relationship with Shi Hao, interrupted and asked.

"The type is different," Blanco said, "his passing skills are very good, with high precision; but his speed, dribbling, and shooting are all worse than Hao. You must not let him play easily. Their first The first goal came from Cork's cross, don't forget that."

"It should be noted that although Cork's position on the field is a right midfielder, he often performs the task of a central midfielder. Watch this video carefully. He is full of energy and has a very wide range of running. He will be pulled into the middle or even The support and organization on the other side gave Atlético Madrid a partial advantage in numbers and squeezed the opponent into the middle, which allowed their full-backs to have enough space to move. At this time, Gabi could make a long pass to find the full-backs or Cork through balls Hit behind, then cross."

"That's what happened with their second goal, Koke ran down the middle and then put a through ball down to Juanfran, who made a cross."

Blanco paused for the players to digest what he said before continuing, "Having said so much, let's look at their shortcomings."

"They don't have players with very strong individual abilities, and they often rely on the overall situation. When there is a crisis or stalemate, they have no players who can change the trend of the game. This is their biggest weakness."

Speaking of which, Blanco played the video of Shi Hao single-handedly defeating Atletico Madrid's entire defense line. Short bursts of laughter erupted in the meeting room, and Shi Hao also turned pale.

"But we are different. We have the sharpest knives in Europe." Blanco said, and played the short videos of the highlight moments of Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Lavezzi and others one after another.

"So once we can defend against their overall attacking pattern, the balance of victory will be in our favor."

"So, boys, do you have the confidence to win them at home!"

"Confidence!" The voices of the Paris Saint-Germain players were uneven, but they were all extremely loud and full of energy, showing strong confidence.

Yes, Ibrahimovic is back, Cavani is back, and Shi Hao can return to his best position as a winger.Verratti returned and captain Thiago Silva was not seriously injured and was able to return to the pitch in time.Van der Veer is back, as is the teenager Maquinhos.Although it is a pity that Mota has accumulated yellow cards and suspended the game, they will indeed be twice as strong as they were in the first round!
On May 5, the players of Paris Saint-Germain walked into the Parc des Princes with this strong confidence.

In this battle, Atletico Madrid's lineup has been slightly adjusted.Their experienced midfielder Gabi was suspended for accumulating yellow cards.

门将还是13号库尔图瓦，后卫还是20号胡安弗兰、23号米兰达、2号戈丁、3号费利佩.路易斯，5号蒂亚戈、4号马里奥.苏亚雷斯搭档后腰。中场10号阿尔达.图兰完全伤愈了，这一场首发出场；6号科克继续首发，7号阿德里安出乎意料地顶替了劳尔.加西亚首发，前锋还是19号迭戈.科斯塔。

Paris Saint-Germain has recovered their strongest lineup, except for Cabaye who replaced the suspended Thiago Motta, the rest of the main players are all on the field.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Paris Saint-Germain, who was playing at home, began to attack, playing proactively and confidently.After Ibrahimovic's return, the Paris team's frontcourt holding the ball has indeed become sharper. Shi Hao also feels that the burden on him is much lighter, and he can focus more on breakthroughs and shots instead of being responsible for organization.In the opening 3 minutes, he and Ibrahimovic each had a shot.

As a result, Atletico Madrid was the first to almost break the goal.

In the 4th minute, Cork's cross was blocked by Shi Hao who was chasing back, and Atletico Madrid got a corner kick.After Cork took a corner kick, van der Wiel grabbed the first spot, but his header clearance did not go far.

Turan got the second point. After stopping the ball in the chest, he passed the ball to Cork who had already run back into the field. Seeing that Siligu was in a very forward position, Cork suddenly kicked up a lob shot from a small angle. Sirigu I jumped up as hard as I could but still didn't touch the football.

Under the frightened eyes of the Paris Saint-Germain players, the football hit the crossbar and bounced back into the field, and Maquinhos quickly destroyed the ball with his big foot.Paris Saint-Germain escaped.

Blanco was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack. The team was already behind by one goal. If Atletico Madrid were allowed to score first at home, he really didn't know how to continue playing.

Simeone may also feel sorry, but there is still no clue from his calm face.Everyone must be guessing, what new gadgets did he prepare for Blanco in this game?If Simeone has used his coaching this season to make people recognize his "tactical master" status, then Blanco has not yet produced convincing coaching results.

With Paris Saint-Germain's lineup, it is a matter of course that they are far ahead in Ligue [-], but Paris's bumps in the Champions League clearly exposed Blanco's weakness in being not good at on-the-spot command.
