Chapter 524 I’m back!

"Hey, Gabriel!"

Head coach Simeone shouted, and Atletico Madrid captain Gabi, who was standing in the middle of the field, immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

The handsome Argentine coach first put his hands on his waist, then put his right hand to his mouth with a slightly cunning smile, as if to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, wiped it left and right, then raised it high and made a "one" gesture with his index finger.

Gabi nodded at Simeone and immediately turned to his teammates.

"Asir, pay attention to the protection behind!"

"Understood!" Illarramendi agreed immediately.

"Raul, Mario, Carlos, try to keep the ball in their half first!"

When Raul Garcia, Mario Suarez and Carlos Tevez heard it, they immediately understood what Gabi meant.

Soon, Barcelona passed the ball from the backcourt to Alba on the left.

But what is different from before is that the previous few times Alba got the ball, Suarez was defending in his own half.

But this time, as soon as Alba got the ball and turned around, Suarez was already on top.

Alba protected the ball at the first moment, but was entangled by Suarez.

The two started a fight on the left side, and finally Suarez successfully kicked the ball to Alba and went out of the sideline.

Atletico Madrid's throw-in!

Juanfran ran up immediately and rushed to the sidelines to take the penalty kick.

At this moment, the Barcelona players also realized that Atletico Madrid was trying to push their defense zone into Barcelona's half!

What the hell are you doing? Are you planning to play high defense?

Don’t you know how many teams die every year because of high-post defense?

"Okay, everyone be careful!" Puyol was not one to be trifled with and shouted immediately.

Neither side is stupid, and they both quickly grasp the opponent's strategic intentions.

So, Juanfran threw the ball out of bounds and it landed at Tevez's feet.

The Argentine stopped the ball in the right corner of the penalty area, leaned against Busquets, turned around, and shot directly!

The shot was powerful, but a little too high!

Tevez, with a ferocious look on his face, made a "Pah" sound, and was obviously very dissatisfied with not being able to control the momentum of the ball!

"Tevez's long-range shot was of high quality, and it seemed like he was testing Valdes' form tonight!"

"It seems that Atletico Madrid is not going to adopt a defensive tactic, but to actively adopt a high-pressure defense. However, in the past, so many teams have adopted a high-pressure defense against Barcelona, ​​but ultimately failed to beat Barcelona. Can Atletico Madrid do it this time?"

Barcelona sent a goal kick to Alves on the right.

But Raul Garcia rushed forward at the first moment and entangled Alves, forcing the Brazilian player to pass the ball horizontally to Xavi.

But Gabi also went up to block Xavi immediately.

The two sides soon started a fierce and fast-paced fight in the midfield.

Although the ball was always at the feet of Barcelona players, they were never able to hold it firmly.

When Iniesta saw Messi retreating and wanted to pass the ball to Messi, Illarramendi and Miranda followed Messi to steal the ball at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, cooperating well, and together they kicked the ball back to the back line before Messi got the ball.

Miranda ran back quickly and passed the ball to goalkeeper Courtois in the penalty area.

The ball fell into the hands of Atletico Madrid.

Courtois stopped the ball, and seeing that no Barcelona player came forward to steal the ball, he slowly took two steps forward, while constantly looking at his teammates with his hands, signaling everyone to rush forward, I'm going to kick the ball!

"Since joining Atletico Madrid this season, Courtois has performed very steadily and has the demeanor of a great general!"

Following the order from the Belgian goalkeeper, Atletico Madrid's midfield and frontcourt all pressed forward.

Barcelona had to retreat.

Courtois made a long pass, the ball flew across a large area of ​​the field and landed on the right side of the 30-meter area of ​​Barcelona.

Diego Costa and Courtois had already reached an understanding and they immediately ran to the right, overpowering Alba who was shorter than them, and headed the ball to the bottom line. Tevez behind them suddenly burst forward, got ahead of Pique, and pushed Diego Costa's header forward, then accelerated to catch up.

"Danger!"

Then, more than 90,000 Barcelona fans in the stadium gasped.

Tevez used his body to block Pique, and after catching up with the ball, he shot directly!

This time the ball went at an extremely fast speed, like a flash of lightning, straight towards the Barcelona goal.

There was a bang, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the field!

“Wow!!!!”

The fans at Camp Nou all breathed a sigh of relief, this goal was so thrilling!

Who could have thought that Atletico Madrid's two top scorers would play such a combination?

"The ball was still in the danger zone and landed in the penalty area. Puyol tried to clear it with his foot but failed!"

In a hurry, there was a melee in Barcelona's penalty area.

Puyol's clearance fell outside the penalty area, but Raul Garcia had already come up. After receiving the ball, he saw Tevez running from the right side of the goal and pointing to the left side of the goal.

Raul Garcia knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so without thinking too much, he lightly pushed the ball to the left.

Tevez rushed over and when he stopped the ball, Puyol immediately stood behind him.

One on one!

The Argentine is very strong and was not at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation with Puyol. He also had skilled footwork. When he saw Raul Garcia rushing up to receive the ball, he immediately passed the ball again.

After receiving the ball, the Spanish midfielder made a diagonal pass to the right side of the goal.

Diego Costa rushed to the penalty area at this time, jumped high, and before Pique, he headed the ball again to the left post at the back point!

"Danger, back point!"

The commentator exclaimed, but everyone saw a figure flash by, and Tevez, who came on horseback, met Diego Costa's header and shot the ball directly into Barcelona's goal!

At this moment, his ferocious face looked even more shocking!

The momentum was so strong that he wanted to concentrate all his strength on this shot and let the ball go directly through the net!

It’s been a year, a full year!

From the time he was banned by Mancini to now, he has been holding his breath for a whole year!

Now, he wants to tell the world with a goal and the blood of Barcelona!

I, Carlos Tevez, am back!

After scoring the goal, Tevez rushed out of the stadium frantically, rushed to the camera of the live broadcast camera at the corner flagpole, knelt on the ground with his fists clenched, looked up to the sky and screamed, venting the depression and anger in his heart!

The entire Camp Nou stadium was stunned!

Less than six minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!

What is going on?

Does this mean that after Atletico Madrid reversed the defeat against Real Madrid, they will beat Barcelona again in this game?

Is this possible?

Atletico Madrid players rushed forward and surrounded Tevez!

After this Argentine beast came to Atletico Madrid, he quickly established himself in the team and became one of the team's most important scoring methods, with an outstanding and eye-catching performance.

Especially between him and Diego Costa, the two of them have similar interests and they immediately fell in love with each other, and their relationship was as sweet as honey.

Look, it’s only been open for a short time.

Diego Costa has already headed the ball to Tevez twice!

"Atletico Madrid looked very fierce tonight. At the beginning of the game, they seemed to be showing weakness on purpose. But after only three or four minutes, this La Liga beast showed its bloody fangs and launched two or three consecutive waves of attacks, which made Barcelona helpless."

"If Tevez's kick wasn't strong enough, the score would have been 2-0!"

"It looks like Vilanova is going to be in trouble tonight!"

In the chairman's stand, when Yang Huan saw Tevez score a goal, he couldn't help laughing and clapping loudly.

"Tevez's shot was so powerful and full of violent beauty!"

Looking at Roselle who had a smug look on his face just now, he now turned away in frustration, not daring to look Young Master Huan in the eye.

Damn it, if you have the ability, why are you showing off again?

p"Simeone is really awesome, keep it up!"

Although the game had only been going on for six or seven minutes, Yang Huan was full of confidence in Simeone's team.

It's not just because Simeone was too well prepared and his tactics were too targeted, but also because Barcelona's performance was too disappointing.

Barcelona's previous tactics gave people a sense of almost suffocating pressure. They used incredible running and coverage, high-intensity pressing and pressure to force the opponent to make mistakes, grab the ball, and then bring the game into their own rhythm.

But now, the situation is obviously different.

Just like just now, when Miranda passed the ball back to Courtois, no one in Barcelona was marking Miranda.

Well, Messi is in charge of the middle. As the number one superstar in the team, it is understandable that Messi enjoys defensive immunity.

But when Courtois dribbled the ball slowly and out of the penalty area, Barcelona's midfield and backcourt were retreating, and no one in the frontcourt even thought of pressing Courtois.

What was Messi doing at that time?

walk!

Pedro and Sanchez are on the two wingers, out of reach!

This gave Courtois enough time to communicate with his teammates in the frontcourt and make that threatening long pass.

The unstoppable winning streak and unbeaten streak have indeed covered up too many of Barcelona’s problems!

Also during the winning streak and unbeaten streak, Atletico Madrid played very hard in every game. Simeone even actively changed his tactics to cope with the changes in the mentality of opponents after the team's outstanding results.

But Vilanova insisted on sticking to the 433 passing and controlling system!

But he has to admit that after the peak and glory, Barcelona, ​​from Messi to Xavi to Iniesta and others, have obviously lost their hunger for honor and motivation for the game. They need new stimulation, not the continuation of Guardiola's system!

Yang Huan even thought that if he were the chairman of Barcelona, ​​between Guardiola and the team system and superstars like Messi, he should consider keeping Guardiola and selling Messi, Xavi and others at a high price.

Is it a pity?

Yes, it’s a pity indeed!

After all, it is not easy to create such an advanced tactical system!

But we should also look at it the other way around. If you are complacent and stick to this set of tactics, in the end, this set of tactics will become your grave!

Wasn’t it the same for Inter Milan when they won the Champions League two years ago?

If after winning the Champions League and sending Mourinho away, Moratti had enough courage to sell players such as Sneijder, Diego Costa and Maicon, as well as veterans such as Zanetti and Cambiasso, at high prices and rebuild a young and combative team, would Inter Milan have fallen into the current predicament?

Sometimes, if you don’t make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences!

As the saying goes, the hard drive is permanent, but the soldiers are transient!

There has never been, and there should never be, a player who is above the team as a whole!

Because that often represents the beginning of a team's decline!
