Ice Shooter of the Green Field

Atlético de Madrid consciously charged the penalty fee directly to Chelsea before the final, so today in the final is the starting lineup of Atlético de Madrid. Chelsea has a little problem, because the midfielder Ramirez will be in the final. Missed the appearance.

He has no injuries, but he received a yellow card in the Champions League semi-final, which made him accumulate three yellow cards in the Champions League knockout round and missed the final. Chelsea executives criticized the system of the Champions League. It is reported that UEFA is also considering modifying the system at least It is possible to clear the accumulated yellow cards in the final, but this season is definitely impossible.

So Chelsea's starting midfield in the Champions League final became Fernando, Meyer and Lampard, the striker was led by Zize, Hazard and Willian were around him, and Atletico Madrid would definitely not give Chelsea too much in this game Given the opportunity to counterattack, Hiddink decided to send William, who was more capable of positional warfare, instead of Schurle.

With a whistle, the decisive battle of the Bright Summit officially started. This is the first time for Zice to face Atletico Madrid. The sheet army built by the Argentine gangster has been one of the strongest teams in Europe in recent years, although they are far from traditional The giants are still a little short, but this Champions League may be the key to the transformation of Atletico Madrid.

The same is true for Chelsea.

Although Chelsea won the Champions League once, there are still many people who don't take Chelsea's Champions League as one thing. Many people think that it belongs to Zice alone, and they spend so much money that they can't win another Champions League. should.

But if the title defense can be completed, then no matter what method is used to defend the title, this is a real achievement, something that has never happened after the reform of the Champions League, which is enough for Chelsea to truly become a bargaining chip among the first-tier giants.

From the outset, Atletico have taken their style to the top of Europe. The biggest difference between Atletico's defense and another defensive guru, Jose Mourinho, is that they are more confrontational than Mourinho's team. and scrambling.

Mourinho defends by cutting space, which is indeed the most advanced way to defend, but Simeone's defense is different, perhaps his tactical attainments are not so strong, but it is very practical.

In a sense, the tough style is the embodiment of the spirit. If the technical strength does not reach the strongest standard, the mental strength can make up the strength gap to a certain extent, and the players of Atletico Madrid can be said to be tough guys.

Especially in the midfield and backcourt, especially Gabi and Godin, the two captains and vice-captains. Gabi's technical characteristics are a bit like Ramirez, who was suspended from Chelsea today. He has sufficient physical reserves, strong running ability, and ability to move forward. Yes, but better than Ramirez is his defensive ability.

As the captain of Atletico Madrid who was promoted by Simeone alone, Simeone, who pays attention to the iron-blooded style, will naturally promote the most suitable and iron-blooded fighter in the team to the captain. It is a great quality that Simeone sees. His defense is Simeone's ball. The most critical barrier in the team.

However, what Zice faced the most was the defense line of Goding and Miranda.

It is worth mentioning that the Uruguayan central defender Godin. When facing the Spanish team before, Zize felt that many defenders were very skilled, possessing a very high level of ball control and playing the ball, but Godin gave him a different feeling. too.

The Uruguayan defender's defense is textbook level of decisiveness and precision. He defends fiercely, but he is also very clean. When he needs to fight, he is not stingy with his body, but he handles the ball very decisively. The only thing to do is never control the ball and pass the ball in the safest way.

This is what a normal central defender should do, but in La Liga, at least among the strong teams in La Liga, this is an alternative.

Because Zize has never played in La Liga, the chances to play against La Liga teams are all top teams in La Liga, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, these teams give people the feeling that they are technically excellent, even Mourini Real Madrid, Ramos will also dribble forward, but Godin will not.

It can be said that Zice wants to press Godin or Miranda in vain. Atletico Madrid never messes with the backcourt. Simeone's play in the final is to give up the ball and fight back, to be precise, give up the ball. , hit the pressure, seize the formation that was suddenly disrupted when you have the ball and hit the fatal blow.

This also made Atletico’s possession of the ball in the backcourt very simple and direct, and the defender handled the ball as soon as he got it, making Chelsea’s pressure an empty talk.

When he was defending, Godin also handled the ball very cleanly. He was very fast with his feet. Zice thought that this might be the most resolute and decisive opponent he had ever encountered. It was the first time he faced Godin head-on. As soon as Qi Ce got the ball and was about to pass, Godin suddenly came up to steal from the side. Of course, Qi Ce's reaction was not slow. He immediately prepared to pull the ball and turn around. Instead of turning around, he fell to the ground in embarrassment.

At that time, there were still many Chelsea fans booing, thinking that Godin had knocked down Zize and should be called a foul, but the steal was actually very clean.

After stealing the ball, Godin also stepped forward with big feet and gave Diego Costa in front of him to compete with Terry and the others, and the Uruguayan immediately ran back to his position.

In the following few times, Zice did not find room for breakthrough in Godin, and Zice also realized that this is the top template for a true central defender.

It's not that he must be stronger than Ramos, Thiago Silva, etc., but he is definitely no less than the existence of these people. The biggest difference from them is that Godin completely regards his positioning as a A standard central defender, textbook level.

With the development of football for more than 100 years, the position on the field has been played over and over again, giving birth to countless playing styles, genres, and players with different attributes, but in fact, the same is true. Do your best job and do your best. Strong, maybe not very famous, but the team must need such a person.

Solving problems in the purest possible way is sometimes the answer.

Atletico Madrid's way of giving away the ball made Chelsea very lively. Although the central defender line of Godin and Miranda was insurmountable, Chelsea scored a lot of times in the 30-meter area of ​​Atletico Madrid, and the fans of the Blues also knew that Zice's ability to convert in this situation, the more this attack is for Chelsea, the better, and the cheers of the fans on the field are also wave after wave.

But the results are often unexpected.

Under the pressure of Chelsea, Atletico Madrid's attack and counterattack were not very good. In the first half, there was only one shot in 20 minutes. It was Diego Costa's header for Villa. Ya did not hit the goal well under the double-teamed defense in the penalty area, but he was very tricky when touched by David Luiz. Fortunately, Cech concentrated and saved the ball from the bottom line.

But in the subsequent corner kick, Godin headed the ball in front but broke the goal guarded by Cech!

The power of Godin's corner kick is excellent, and the angle is excellent. It is Chelsea captain Terry who is defending next to Godin. , he was also powerless.

This header perfectly reflects that Godin is not only accomplished in defense, he can also stand up and make a final decision when the team needs to score forward!

Godin's header was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Chelsea fans. Although the game was still long, the fans also saw Atletico Madrid's style of play, and Atletico Madrid liked this rhythm.

Strike back, fight back to win!

This goal actually came from a counterattack. It was a quick counterattack after a high position pressure made Chelsea make mistakes in the frontcourt. Atletico Madrid's players are not particularly fast players, but their center Diego Costa has a lot of skills. With strong ball-handling and confrontation ability, he can buy time for his teammates.

Then there is the next scene when Villa hits the goal. Villa's shot is also very cunning. Obviously, when the shot was not strong enough, Villa went for the corner kick deliberately. Kicks on the defenders don't necessarily have to be in the goal, the corner kick is more valuable than the unreliable shot, and the result is that the corner kick results in the goal.

Of course, it's only more than 30 minutes in the first half, and the game is far from over.

After losing the ball, Chelsea also showed the style of a team that has won the Champions League. They did not panic, but continued to control the scene calmly.

This is the rhythm that Atlético Madrid wanted, yes, but Chelsea did not dislike the rhythm that controls the situation. At least Chelsea is not worried about the collapse after losing the ball, because Atletico Madrid's style is not to chase after victory.

The first half ended with Chelsea trailing 0-1. At half-time, Hiddink played a rare emotional card for the players. This will be the last game of his coaching and possibly the last game of his coaching career. , after all, 68 years old is definitely an old coach. Chelsea will welcome Mourinho next season, which is a great opportunity to transform into a top giant. Hiddink also hopes that everything goes well for the team.

The players expressed in the locker room that they wanted to play Hiddink's final battle well. Although Hiddink was only a normal coach in the eyes of most players, but because of this, the locker room was still very supportive of him, especially in the this special moment.
