Atletico Madrid marshal reveals the two major strategies of Inter Milan, the key to determining the victory or defeat!
Last night, Messi became the focus of the most attention in football.
From 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., I received invitations from various portals**, and former colleagues sent me a WeChat group of "9 o'clock in the evening**", or special messages such as "don't talk about politics, talk about feelings", which was a headache. I have to sigh that there are people outside the world, there are people outside the sky, there are people outside the sky, there are people outside the sky, there are people outside the sky, there are people outside the sky, there are people outside the sky.
There is no room for negotiation. I'm a non-mainstream Premier League (Serie A) fan, a non-Inter fan and another blogger knows more about Zanetti, Cruz, Milito, Lautaro, so why should I talk about the Ballon d'Or? Let me take a break.
Before that, I would like to talk about the Argentine that Inter Milan fans have been talking about a lot in the last 24 hours - Atletico Madrid coach Simeone.
Simeone had Koké present at the press conference for the match, and he said a lot like Inzaghi Jr. did. For example, he praised Inter Milan's current fourth or fifth position in the Europa League; For example, if someone tries to steal from Inter Milan, then he will snatch the goalkeeper Summer; For example, instead of going to Atalanta, he went to Inter, which was a wise decision because he is Argentine.
There is an oft-overlooked proverb that many Italian strategists have repeatedly mentioned. Last time we controlled 28 per cent of the scores, but in the end we won 5-0. Against Sevilla we controlled a lot of games but in the end we failed. In today's football, if an athlete can win, he will perform at a high level on the pitch and be better prepared for tomorrow's games.
According to OPTA, Atalanta beat Spain's quarter-finalists Las Palma by five goals in the last leg, with only 331 passes and 35 per cent of shots on goal. Despite Atalanta scoring four goals in the space of 62 minutes, they had less than 30 per cent of the time they had possessed the ball.
Atletico Madrid's previous two opponents were Athletic Bilbao (Copa del Rey) and Sevilla (Spain), each with a 62% or 70% possession advantage, and 600-700 passes in the game, both of which ended in 1-0 defeats.
Many analysts believe that Atletico Madrid's style of play in recent years has changed from "tough defense + fast counterattack" to the current "dribbling + attack".
This is the truth, but it is not the complete truth.
It's true that Atalanta now have 60 to 70 per cent of the time they have the ball.
However, don't overlook this either: Atalanta's way of playing is very different from the way they play. When facing a strong team, the tactical arrangement of the team can also be very different.
Atalanta's most famous matches are the sixth matchday of the Spanish league (beating Real Sociedad 3-1 with 37%), the ninth matchday (beating Real Sociedad 2-1 with 38%), the fifteenth matchday (losing 1-1 to Barcelona with 42%), and Spain's 23 matchdays (drawing 1-1 with Real Madrid with 41% possession)."Oppressive"They often play tougher than when they have the ball. Now, even when a team turns to passing and passing, they haven't completely forgotten how to do it"Compression conversion"And when they play games like that, they usually perform better than pass-and-control.
Before the Inter game, Simeone singled out two tactics against Inter: First, don't worry about possession. In addition, he focused on the success of the game, focusing on the problem of grabbing, that is, intending to quickly intercept the opponent in the middle and launch an attack, which does not need to be disguised.
Before the match between Inter Milan and Atalanta, Italy's "Sky" column made a special report on Morata.
Some pundits believe it would be a good thing for Inter if Simeone could replace Alvaro Morata, although Acerbi could be sidelined through injury.
However, if Griezmann or Llorente starts, Inter will have a tougher time, and Llorente's "ball grabbers" will make Atalanta more determined"Kraft candy"routes, such a style of play is usually more powerful. More powerful.
Inter Inzaghi Jr. and Thuram attended the press conference of the match together. This decision alone is enough to show that the Inter coach is right"Conversion balls"highly rated. The French have a much greater range of activities.
But Atalanta may not be willing to let Inzaghi Jr. get what he wants.
The Inter coach and the players know this very well, so they repeatedly stressed in the plenary meeting: concentration, focus, concentration, concentration, high intensity.
At the same time, Inter Milan believes that reducing their own error rate and reducing the speed of the opponent is the key to victory.
This confrontation at the top is a drama of "limits and limitations". Let's wait and see which of these two coaches will get what they want.
