Chapter 32 Yang Hao, can you still have some shame?
"Do you know why this belongs to Yang Hao's team and not Juanma Lillo's team?"
Sitting in the visiting team's coaching booth at the Calderón Stadium, Joaquin Perrault asked Manolo Hierro next to him with a helpless look on his face.
Hierro looked at the head coach and shook his head.
"If it was Juanma Lillo's team, he wouldn't have retreated decisively after taking the lead after eight minutes."
Manolo Hierro looked thoughtful.
"Lillo regards this style of play as his belief. His team always uses this style of play until their physical strength is exhausted. They never retreat. Therefore, they often beat others, but they are also often beaten by others."
Joaquin Perrault chuckled at this point. "At first, no one was familiar with this style of fighting, and he was a bit confusing. But gradually, after a while, everyone became familiar with Lillo's routine. So everyone tried to hold out until his energy was almost depleted, and then they would attack him in one go."
"During that time, Li Luo was beaten black and blue, and everyone knew what he was up to."
Manolo Hierro suddenly understood.
Come to think of it, he has never played a game against Juanma Lillo's team.
"But Yang Hao is obviously different. This guy is a pragmatist, much like those Italian coaches. Although he attacked quickly at the start and pressed the ball very effectively, once he took the lead, he retreated."
"Too conservative?" Hierro guessed.
Now, both the Malaga players on the field and Joaquin Peró on the sidelines are having a headache about this.
"Although as an opponent, I shouldn't say this, but it's not conservative."
Hierro looked inquiring.
"Their stamina and running ability are not up to par. They won't be able to maintain that style of play for long."
In Atletico Madrid's entire frontcourt, only Solari can run, and the other players have various problems.
If Atletico Madrid really had to spend all their energy on attacking in the front, they wouldn't have much time to play backwards, and their defense might not be stable.
Therefore, Yang Hao’s choice cannot be called conservative, but should be called pragmatic.
"So what should we do now?" Manolo Hierro asked with concern.
Malaga is still one goal behind now.
Joaquin Pero was visibly stunned, with a wry smile on his face, and stopped talking.
If I knew what to do, I wouldn't have to complain so much.
Damn it, he just ran away after scoring a goal, do you still have any shame?
Can you at least pretend?
At the very least, we should have some of the style and bearing of a La Liga coach, right?
But now you...
Joaquin Perrault turned his head and looked at Yang Hao in front of the home team's coaching bench. He seemed to see Yang Hao standing there, smiling at him provocatively, and stretching out his right hand, hooking his index finger, and shouting arrogantly: Come here!
…
"Fortunately, they don't have a center forward."
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Yang Haozheng said to his assistants with a smile.
Neither Catania nor Dario Silva is a center forward, which makes it easier for Atletico Madrid's defense to deal with them.
Who could have imagined that which genius baby would form such a defensive line, using a group of central defenders who are 1.8 meters tall or even less than 1.8 meters tall in an era when tall center forwards are rampant?
Barcelona?
Barcelona is trying to control the ball. Do you want to learn how to control the ball?
Besides, although Barcelona's players such as Puyol, De Boer and Abelardo are all around 1.8 meters tall, they also have tall defenders like Bogarde and Frederic de Hoo, but they have less playing time.
But what about Atletico Madrid?
Yang Hao deeply suspected that the reason why Antic said that there was no problem with defense was not because he really thought there was no problem, but because he had given up on defense.
In short, if Yang Hao can stay this summer, Atletico Madrid will definitely undergo a large-scale reorganization.
He wants to build a strong and competitive team in Atletico Madrid based on his own tactical concepts and ideas, and then lead the Colchoneros to sweep the Europa League!
Madman Mu, Fatty An, Baldy Gua, Emperor Xuanzong of Qi... You will have no place in European football in the future, go home and feed your children!
"Still have to be careful of Catania," Mendiodoro reminded.
Although this striker is not tall, he is quite strong and has strong personal abilities. If he gets the ball in the penalty area and creates opportunities, he can still pose a threat and even score goals.
Yang Hao put aside his wild thoughts, faced reality again, and agreed with Mendiodoro's words.
He immediately walked to the sidelines and reminded Pablo Garcia, signaling him to move back a little closer to the center back.
This makes Atletico's entire defensive formation tighter, but also looks more conservative.
"Joaquin Peró reacted quickly. Did you notice that they began to consciously cut off the connection between our two ribs today, especially Belleron's pulling of the needle in the ribs." Juanma Lillo analyzed.
Yang Hao also noticed it.
Just now, when Belleron was about to pass the ball to Hasselbaink behind the flank for the first goal, Malaga's midfield and defense immediately blocked the flank.
If Belleron passed the ball, it would definitely be blocked.
The role of a star is reflected at this time. When he realizes that he can't pass the ball, he takes advantage of the opponent's defensive mentality, creates a loophole, works alone, and directly scores a goal.
These are details that the head coach cannot arrange tactically, and the personal abilities of the stars can help them take advantage of these details and even determine the outcome of the game.
A fat black crosstalk performer once said: Don't use your hobby to challenge other people's jobs.
Yang Hao now has a deep understanding of this.
Because in the Barcelona match, Joaquin Peró knew that he had to contain Bellerón and pay attention to the two ribs. This was a targeted tactic.
"Wait a little longer."
Yang Hao not only said this, he also did it.
He would remind his players from time to time on the sidelines, especially Belleron, to remain patient and focused.
Don't be anxious or panic. After taking the lead, stabilize your defense and slowly consume your opponent.
“I believe that Malaga will not be willing to end the first half with a deficit.”
Being one goal behind and a draw are two completely different situations.
If we can get a goal back before the end of the first half, it will be a great boost to Malaga's morale and fighting spirit in the second half.
Joaquin Perrault will certainly take the initiative to attack.
…
Facts have proved that Yang Hao's premonition and judgment were correct.
When the game entered the 30th minute, Malaga, who had been trailing for a long time, finally lost their patience.
Both the players on the field and Joaquin Peró on the sidelines began to strengthen the team's offense, especially on the two flanks.
For teams that mainly use a 442 formation, their offense usually goes through the flanks.
The presence of Belleron made Malaga's midfielder dare not overstep the line even a little bit.
But Atletico Madrid was well prepared for this.
Once they entered Atletico Madrid's half, the Colchoneros' pressing intensity immediately increased to a higher level. When the ball reached the wing, the passing space was greatly reduced, and it became difficult to pass the ball after being pressed.
This resulted in Malaga's attack failing to pose a threat. Instead, in the 36th minute, when Rufete tried to pass the ball to Catania in the frontcourt, Santi Denia made a decisive tackle.
After receiving the ball, Baraja quickly moved forward, passed the center line, and passed it to Belleron who ran into the open space.
With no one guarding him, Belleron dribbled the ball towards Malaga's penalty area.
The situation was still similar to the opening attack. Hasselbaink moved and Belleron wanted to pass the ball, but this time the Malaga defenders were a little hesitant, and as a result, Belleron really passed the ball.
Malaga's defenders are about to collapse!
The Dutch striker stopped the ball near the penalty area line and shot directly with his left foot.
But the shot hit the leg of defending center back Roteta and curved to the left side of the penalty area.
Just when everyone thought that this attack would fail, Solari appeared silently at the most critical place, stopped the ball, adjusted, observed, and then kicked the ball.
The ball rolled to the far corner right under the nose of goalkeeper Contreras and hit the side net of Malaga.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
“2-0!!!”
"Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack once again broke through Malaga's goal."
"The goal was scored by Argentine winger Solari, his fifth La Liga goal of the season."
"2-0, the current situation is very favorable for Atletico Madrid!"
…
"Well done, Yang!"
The moment Hill saw Solari score a goal, he impulsively jumped up from his seat and shouted excitedly towards the stadium.
This is basically the case for all Atletico Madrid fans.
Even old Hill, who was sitting on the podium, became excited.
Are we finally going to get a victory?
When was the last time Atletico Madrid won a league game?
It’s been three months, right?
In the past three months, although Atletico Madrid had some draws, they have not won a single game. This is even worse than Sevilla, who are at the bottom of the table. At least they beat Numancia 4-0 at home in the 29th round and defeated Racing Santander at home in the 23rd round.
It can be said that Atletico Madrid is the worst performing team in La Liga during this period.
So much so that now, the sudden chance to win becomes even more worrying and seems unreal.
"The two games Yang Hao led have indeed brought about a gratifying transformation for the team." Paul Futre also said something fair.
This change is not only in tactics, but more importantly in the players' mental level, that is, fighting spirit and morale.
"I watched his speech at the first-team meeting that day. Frankly speaking, if I were a player, I would also be infected by him. So today, you see, Belleron, Hasselbaink, Solari..."
"The people are still the same, but their behavior is completely different from before. It's not an exaggeration to say they've been completely transformed."
A football match, after all, is a competition between players.
Whether it is Ranieri or Antic, Atletico Madrid under their coaching gives people a feeling of lifelessness and hopelessness.
But Yang Hao is different. The team he leads is just like his age, full of vigor and hope.
This is the mentality that a team truly fighting to avoid relegation should have!
If only Hill Jr. praised it like this, Hill Sr. would definitely pour cold water on it, but even Paul Futre said so, and Cerezo and Clement Balaverde have changed their views, so what else can Hill Sr. say?
But after taking another look at his son, Old Hill swallowed the words of affirmation that were about to come out of his mouth.
Well, we can’t let him get away!
