Chapter 240 The task is even more difficult

Chapter 240 The task is even more difficult

Diego Costa's header gave Blanco a sense of danger. He rushed to the sidelines, waved his hands vigorously, and signaled the boys to concentrate and defend the last few minutes of the first half.

If he can enter the locker room with a one-goal advantage, he believes that the chances of winning this game will be even greater.

But the ideas of Paris Saint-Germain players are not unified.Some thought it would be nice to go into half-time with a 1-0 score, others thought it would be nice to score another goal.Maxwell and Shi Hao, the pair on the left, are the ones with this idea.

Taking advantage of Atletico Madrid's eagerness to attack, they counterattacked. The two cooperated with the ball to advance, and finally Maxwell made a pass from the bottom line to find Ibrahimovic. Unfortunately, the ball was cleared by Miranda.

Atlético Madrid's passing speed was very fast, and it passed through the midfield very quickly. After receiving the ball, Thiago suddenly passed the ball at a 45-degree angle to the left side of Paris Saint-Germain's penalty area.

At this time, neither Maxwell nor Shi Hao was back in place, but Juanfran rushed there to catch the ball at some point!

After Juanfran stopped the ball, he made a quick pass and passed a half-high ball.The speed of the football is very fast, with a little arc, Costa in the front point did not grab the point, and Paris Saint-Germain's defensive players Thiago Silva, Maquinhos and Van der Weil were also unbelievable All pass the ball.

The unmarked Adrian ghostly appeared on the edge of the small penalty area, shot the ball, and easily broke through the gate guarded by Sirigu!

In the 44th minute of the first half, the Sheets equalized the score.

Shi Hao had already returned to the penalty area, but he could only helplessly watch Sirigu pick up the ball from the goal.

This feeling is very uncomfortable. This is not a problem with the ball, but it makes him and his teammates doubt life.If Atletico Madrid is so tenacious, even if they can lead again in the second half, will the opponent be able to recover?It's really scary.

And Blanco on the sidelines was going crazy!This goal not only made Paris Saint-Germain fall behind in the total score again, but also allowed Atletico Madrid to score an away goal.Now Paris Saint-Germain has to score 2 more goals to eliminate their opponents, and the task has become more difficult!

Before the game, he had already reminded the boys to pay attention to the offensive style of Atletico Madrid's full-back assists, but he did not expect that such a small loophole would allow the opponent to seize the opportunity.

Atletico Madrid did not use this kind of offensive method of direct oblique long pass from the midfield to the bottom line in the last round of the match.It seems that this is the new thing Simeone prepared for him.Blanc quickly suppressed his anger and began to think about how to break the situation.

After the Atlético Madrid players finished celebrating, the regular time of the first half had come to an end, and the referee gave another 1 minute of stoppage time.

For this sake, both sides were unwilling to make any further incidents, and ended the first half of the game in a tacit understanding.

After entering the locker room, Blanco's expression was completely peaceful.The lads aren't playing badly, and it won't help to criticize them at this time.So after praising Ibrahimovic's goal and Shi Hao's series of wonderful performances, he directly began to arrange defensive tactics, explaining in detail how to contain Atletico Madrid's side attack.

As for your own offensive tactics?He felt that there was no need to adjust, so he just followed the style of play in the first half.

No matter how many new tricks Simeone still has, he is determined to stick to Paris Saint-Germain's own thinking and style of play. He believes that Ibrahimovic, Shi Hao and Cavani can cause enough trouble for Atletico Madrid on the offensive end.

As a result, after another rematch, it was Atletico Madrid who came first to dismount.

In the 46th minute, Verratti made a handball foul and Atletico Madrid got the chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Cork took the penalty and lobbed the ball into the penalty area, which was headed out by Thiago Silva.Mario Suarez failed to hit the goal immediately under the interference of Cabaye, so he sent the ball to the side. Felipe stepped in to get the ball firmly and then passed an inverted triangle.

His pass was very precise, and it flew just a little bit in front of Turan. Turan rushed up and volleyed with his left foot without stopping the ball.

Seeing his close-range shot, everyone thought the goal was going to be scored, but Sirigu subconsciously reached out and hit the ball out of the baseline, preventing Atletico Madrid from taking the lead at the beginning of the second half.

But the crisis is not over.Cork took a corner kick to the front and was cleared by Matuidi with a header, but the ball did not fly far. Suarez unloaded the ball from his thigh outside the penalty area and shot directly, scaring Blanco to burst Had a heart attack.Fortunately, the ball brushed the post and flew out of the bottom line.

After the last round of the game, Blanco realized that Paris Saint-Germain had two major problems in defense: one was that the players did not have enough sense of cooperation and the efficiency of steals was not high when they were pressing in high positions in the frontcourt. not tall.The offensive players expended a lot of physical energy in the press, but did not get enough gains, and the gains outweighed the losses.Shi Hao has to bear most of the responsibility here, his defensive awareness is really bad.

But it was impossible for Blanco to take Shi Hao down.After all, in the offense, Shi Hao played a much greater role than Lavitch, Mene, Pastore and others.

The second biggest problem is that the protection of the second landing point of the ball is not enough.The almost conceded goal just now was caused by this reason.

But this is related to the team's overall defensive system. Although Blanco is aware of the problem and has emphasized it to the boys many times, the improvement is very limited.

Atletico Madrid's players are very good at running, and they can make full use of this weakness of Paris Saint-Germain. In the next game, they grabbed the second point several times and threatened Paris Saint-Germain's goal.

Blanco felt a change had to be made.In the 55th minute, he replaced Cabaye with Lavezzi and made a bold change.This is to remove a defensive midfielder and push Shi Hao to the middle, while Ravitch still plays the left winger he is familiar with.

Cabaye, who was replaced early, was not happy, but he has not been with the team for a long time and has not yet established his status, so Blanco does not think much about his feelings.

This is not the first time Shi Hao has appeared in the middle lane, and there is Ibrahimovic in front. His performance in the middle lane is even better than the previous two times. He has created murderous intentions just after switching positions.

He first hit Courtois with a powerful long-range shot, and Lavezzi almost succeeded with a follow-up shot.

Then he broke through with the ball in the middle and forced Thiago to foul. Not only did he get a free kick in the frontcourt, but he also gave Thiago a yellow card.

Due to the distance from the goal, Shi Hao, who took the penalty, did not choose to shoot himself, but hoisted it into the penalty area.His pass found Thiago Silva's head accurately, and the Paris captain almost scored with a header, but Courtois made a heroic save to send the ball out.
