What does Atletico Madrid rely on to eliminate Bayern and advance to the Champions League final?

Not a traditional giant, but subverting Bayern Barcelona; There is no gold stick, but the style of play is unique and tough. Under the leadership of coach Simone, Atletico Madrid has become the most special strong team in today's football, and they have written a legend with their own style. They lost to Bayern in the second round yesterday, but finally reached the Champions League final with a slight advantage of one more away goal, which is likely to achieve their own Madrid myth.

The audience is passive, patient and so on.

Atletico Madrid's formation is usually 442 or 44 1 1. The strikers look for space and make destructive strikes. In the second leg of the Champions League, Barcelona won 2-0, and Atletico left-back Felipe made a long pass to find the striker. Barcelona's compressed defense gave Atletico Madrid a chance. Once Barcelona is close to Atletico Madrid's defense line, it may be threatened and fouled.

In the match with Bayern, Atletico Madrid played as passively as when facing other strong teams, and was suppressed by Bayern most of the time. Statistically speaking, Atletico Madrid is at an absolute disadvantage, with the possession rate of only 27.5%, and the passing success rate of 60% is far lower than that of Bayern's 85%. Atletico Madrid shot even worse, with only 7 goals in the audience, while Bayern scored 33 goals. But they just need a chance to fight back. Torres and Gleizman knocked on the door of Bayern with the simplest cooperation.

Defending rude buses in front of the door

The director of Sky TV said, "Atletico's football is disgusting. He plays Italian football and puts a bus in front of the door. " Simone is very calm about his defensive philosophy. "I only care about winning. Everything I do is to win the game, not to please anyone. "

Statistics show that in the past five Champions League home games, Atletico Madrid has not conceded a goal. In the past 16 Champions League home game, Atletico Madrid scored a horrible 14 clean sheet. What is even more frightening is that in the past three years, Atletico Madrid has only conceded five goals at home in the Champions League. Of course, the miracle of Atletico Madrid is not limited to its own doorstep. Atletico Madrid kept a clean sheet in 33 games this season, including 35 rounds of La Liga 2 1 clean sheet. According to the statistics before the 1/4 final, Atletico ranked first among all teams with a steal success rate of 47%.

Atletico's tactics usually have no wingers. In the case of the opponent's possession, he forced the opponent to distribute the ball to the flank through the high position of the frontcourt player. On the side, compared with the three-midfield system of many teams, Atletico Madrid will achieve a number advantage of 4 to 3 or 3 to 2 through the collective defense of wingers, midfielders and full-backs.

Coach's concept: a new benchmark for football.

As a player, Simone is brave and ruthless, and sometimes he will use some "means" to win. His red card to Beckham in the World Cup is still impressive. Atletico Madrid used to be a traditional technical team. After Simone took over, the team changed the past. The team pays more attention to defense, steals and interceptions, which improves the quality of counterattack. On the double track, Atletico's steals per game are also among the best. In the past many years, Barcelona and Real Madrid monopolized La Liga, and their football has become the benchmark of modern football. However, the appearance of Atletico Madrid led by Simone broke this rule. Five consecutive victories in the last five games, with good opponents, including Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao. Simone's theory is that teams rarely concede goals and win more.

After defeating Bayern in the first leg of the semi-final, Gazzetta dello Sport praised Simone and said, "Simone is ernesto guevara, he is the commander, and football with ball control as its main idea will be finished. What Barcelona and Spanish football advocated was defeated by Simone's defensive counterattack. "

Forward is rich in investment and unique in vision.

Atletico Madrid has a high-quality production line. Although it is not a traditional giant, it has always produced high-quality strikers. From the history, we can see that Atletico Madrid can not only cultivate its own excellent strikers, but also find the most suitable strikers by selling at high prices and buying at low prices, thus maintaining the super competitiveness of strikers and keeping the club in a better operation mode.

As early as 1997, Vieri joined the club at the price of 1 1 ten thousand. His amazing data of 24 goals in 24 games made Lazio buy it with190,000. After that, there was Hasselbaink on Atletico Madrid's front line. In recent years, aguero, Fran and Fa Erkao, who were familiar with each other, all attacked the city and besieged the village on Atletico Madrid's front line. Torres, who is still in the team, was also a Spanish golden boy. His performance laid the foundation for Atletico Madrid's strength.

Summarizing the successful experience of Atletico Madrid, I have to admire their accurate eye for buying people. According to statistics, in the past 17 years, Atletico Madrid invested 17 striker players, of which only 7 players were sold at a loss, with a total investment of1930,000 euros and a revenue of 264 million euros. At the same time, Atletico's youth training camp also has a very good reputation. Raul, who became a legend in Real Madrid, came from Atletico Madrid Youth Training Camp, where Torres grew up.
