Chapter 39
Chapter 39 This is professional football!
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Valencia City Stadium was boiling!
On the court, some players are excitedly celebrating the team’s start to the goal, while others are pulling their heads happily, alive like roosters that have lost a fight.
The same goes for the side of the court.
Although he was also promoted to the first team this summer, the two coaches reacted completely differently after the game.
In front of the home team’s coaching area, Levante’s new coach Granello is embracing his assistants, his face is red, unspeakable spirited, and endless ambitions.
In the coach of the visiting team, the head coach of the visiting team Atletico Madrid, Zambrano is stubborn and afraid to appear.
He is using this method to avoid reporters and TV broadcasts.
The scoreboard of the Valencia City Stadium showed a surprising score, four to one!
International practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.
This is a complete defeat!
At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid showed a strong desire to win, reversing the goal, pressing heavily, and successfully used the subtle cooperation of two center forwards Kico and Salva to break Levante’s goal and take the lead.
But after taking the lead, Atletico Madrid did not slow down, but continued to press, intending to expand the score.
But at this moment, Levante launched a counterattack, and striker Kecu seized the opportunity and scored the equalizer goal.
was equalized tragically, but Zambrano still did not choose to retreat, but continued to ask the players to increase their offensive investment.
Levante, on the other hand, defended in his own half and adopted a steady counterattack tactic.
Finally, in the 26th minute, Levante seized the opportunity again. After Kaiku succeeded in offside, he broke into the penalty area, crossed the goal, assisted his teammate and reversed the score.
consecutively lost the ball, Atletico Madrid is unstable.
During the intermission, Zambrano yelled at the performance of the players, demanding that the offensive must be increased in the second half, to tie the score as soon as possible, or even reverse.
What I never expected was that Levante’s defense was surprisingly tenacious, but his counterattack was exceptionally sharp. In the 52nd and 68th minutes, two counterattacks resulted in a goal, and the score was finally locked at four. One.
This is a result that no one would have thought of before the game!
But it just happened!
Zambrano sat in the coach’s bench, and even when the players walked off the court, he did not walk over to shake hands with them as usual.
came from the players’ distrust, suspicion, and even accusations that made him leave.
“You bastards, don’t work hard, think I can’t see it?”
“If you work harder, the back line will be so easily broken by the opponent?”
“If you fight a little more on the court, can Levante get a chance so easily?”
“Now that you have lost the game, you guys are going to blame me? Doubt me?”
“Damn it, I’m never finished with you!”
…………
…………
Although Zambrano desperately tried to avoid the camera, his savage expression because of his anger was captured by the live TV camera and presented in front of all the fans.
This is the downside of having a live broadcast!
Alpine I also saw it naturally.
“Zambrano is too anxious, too obsessed with winning!”
This is Gao Han’s own opinion after watching the live TV broadcast of the entire game.
“Yeah.” Cantarello also agrees very much. “The overall strength of the first team is still better than Levante. If Zambrano can slow down the pace appropriately after the opening lead, it is estimated that Levante wants to play. It’s not so easy to fight back.”
But Gao Han doesn’t think so.
“I think the most important thing is the aging of the defensive line and the mentality of the players.”
Atletico Madrid’s first-team defense is aging, which is a serious problem.
In fact, this problem has always existed in the past few years.
Don’t look at Atletico Madrid’s style of playing relatively simple and rude, but in fact, this is a very typical La Liga team that attaches great importance to the team’s offense. It can even be said that Atletico Madrid’s tactics themselves are developed around forwards.
From Kico and Penev in the double crown, to Vieri, to Hasselbaink, to Salva now.
In Atletico Madrid’s tactics, a powerful center always occupies a crucial position.
Therefore, even if they are relegated and sold Hasselbaink, Atletico Madrid will immediately do everything possible to hire Salva, the top scorer in La Liga.
Use a strong center to suppress the opponent’s center back, threaten the opponent’s goal, and then move forward through the back line of defense and the overall pressure of the midfield to firmly suppress the opponent, and then maximize the advantage of the strong center.
But such a tactic has two major risks.
First, the defense line moves forward, which places higher demands on the defenders, especially to achieve rapid uptake and retreat.
But now Atletico Madrid’s defense is full of veterans, obviously unable to adapt to this tactical play.
Zan Burano sticks to the team’s traditional style of play and does not adjust tactics according to the characteristics of the players.
In the eighty-eighth minute, the red card of central defender Fernandez in the final stage of the game is the best example.
“There is one more point, and the most important point, the players’ hearts are loose.”
Gao Han shook his head, “At least in terms of team pressure in the midfield, I don’t see the players doing their best.”
The team pressure in the front court is the basis of Atletico Madrid’s traditional play style.
missed this ring, and the back line suddenly pressed on, but allowed the opponent to take the ball easily. It was purely looking for death.
Therefore, in the game, Levante counterattacked, almost exactly one by one!
“I heard that after Zambrano was promoted to the first team, he was very unhappy with a group of veterans in the team.” Sergio Garcia said with a sneer.
“Oh?” Gao Han just remembered that his assistant and Zambrano seemed to have formed a bridge.
“I heard it too.” Garcia shrugged and said disdainfully.
“After Zambrano entered the first team, he directly increased the amount in training. At the same time, he also placed higher demands on the players in terms of tactics. The veteran headed by captain Aguilera reacted on behalf of the team. As a result… …He insists on going his own way.”
Gao Han nodded, this is really like Zambrano’s style.
“Furthermore, after Zambrano promoted the first team, he publicly stated in the first press conference that he would vigorously implement youth reforms in the team, especially the back line.”
Gao Han shook his head and laughed, “He is so self-righteous!”
There is no doubt that Zambrano’s coaching results in the second team are indeed shining, but that has nothing to do with coaching the first team.
Sometimes there are things that can be done but cannot be said.
It’s like he wants to promote youth, right? Does it make sense?
Yes, very right, very reasonable.
But the question is, if you say so blatantly, the media and fans are happy and think you are awesome, but what do the veterans think? What do you think in your heart?
Professional players are also human, and they have all the emotions of ordinary people.
In dealing with this issue, Zambrano is really clumsy.
Perhaps, he had thought about it, but he was too optimistic about his prestige.
To be optimistic, he feels that even if he says it, the players will still work hard for him.
But, is this possible?
…………
…………
A fiasco in the first round of the league soon affected Atletico Madrid.
Early the next morning, Gao Han arrived at the Sports City. It was obvious that he could feel the changes on their faces from top to bottom, from the security guards at the gate to the staff in the Sports City.
gives people a very depressed and depressed feeling.
When Gao Han came to the training area of the youth team, he saw the team’s equipment administrators moving to the first team training area.
“Hey, Anthony.” Gao Han passed by, greeted casually.
Anthony Lilarandi raised his head, saw Gao Han, and forced a stiff smile, “Hi.”
“Did the first team not rest today?” Gao Han asked strangely.
Lila Randi shook his head, “It is usual to take a break, but…Zambrano changed his plan.”
“Oh.” Gao Han nodded.
“I won’t tell you, they rushed to set up the training ground.”
Watching Lila Randi moving away, Gao Han looked at the training ground of the first team from a distance.
Inside, Zambrano is directing the coaching staff to set up the training ground, but the strange thing is that no one speaks.
This is professional football!
is cruel and realistic!
But Gao Han did not have time to pay attention to others, because he knew very well that if he lost, he would be in a worse situation than Zambrano now.
Even then, Zambrano was the first to attack him!
He will never allow Zambrano’s mistakes to happen to himself!
So, he wants to win!
…………
…………
Atletico Madrid’s second team defeated Toledo 5-0 in the first round of the match, and took the top spot in the first group of the second league, but it was not stable.
The second place in the standings is the Real Madrid second team.
The team’s performance in the first round was also quite eye-catching. With Portillo’s hat-trick at home, it broke Fuenlabrada four to zero and also scored a good start to the season.
Sporting Gijon’s second team also defeated Caudal 3-1 at home, and Pino scored a goal.
The league played a round, and the second team of Atletico Madrid also collected first-hand intelligence. In addition, Cantarello is familiar with the second league. Based on the experience he provided, Gao Han can already initially judge the strength of the opponent.
If there are no accidents, those who can really challenge Atletico Madrid’s second team should be Real Madrid’s second team, Atletico Gijon’s second team, as well as the first round victory, and the performance of last season’s Zamora and Orense.
As for Toledo Although the first round was defeated, Cantarello still has a high evaluation of this team. He believes that as long as it is adjusted, Toledo will still be the most powerful group champion this season. Contender.
On the contrary, Fuenlabrada, Alcocon, and Deportivo’s second team had a sluggish performance in the first round and were not favored.
In the second round, Atletico Madrid’s second team will go northward, heading to Pollard Xero, located in the south of Gijón, to challenge the newly promoted Marcello team.
This is a semi-professional team that has been established for more than eighty years. Before, all of them were mixed in the low-level leagues. It was promoted to the second league for the first time this season. The opponents were tied in the first round of away games without any intelligence.
also because of this, so Gao Han dare not care at all.
Because he knows that the more such an opponent, the easier it is to capsize in the gutter.
While Alpine concentrates on preparing for the second round of the league, Zambrano is also actively preparing for the match.
This time, the game time of the two teams is the same day.
The opponent of the first team is Recreativo.
What is interesting is that last season, Recreativo ranked 21st and was originally relegated.
But Atletico Madrid dropped from La Liga to La Liga, and the Atletico Madrid second team, which was originally in La Liga, was forced to drop into the second league.
As a result, Recreativo, who was supposed to be relegated, stayed in the second league.
And everyone also feels that the home game against Recreativo will be an excellent opportunity for Atletico Madrid to get out of the shadow of the first round defeat.
Therefore, this battle has attracted the attention of everyone up and down the club.
