Chapter 366 The game of the King's Cup

Winning the league with Deportivo de la Coruña reassured the worried Atlético de Madrid fans.

The team's bench players are still quite strong, and the quality of players introduced by Gao Bo this season is quite good.

After this game, the time for the fifth round of the King's Cup has also been determined.

Atlético de Madrid play away to Barcelona on December 20, and then return to their home ground on January 7 to play Barcelona in the second leg.

In fact, when the result of the draw came out, the voice of "revenge" began to emerge from the Barcelona side.

In the league, Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 4-2 at home, which obviously made the Catalan giants quite dissatisfied.

They just held their breath and waited for a lesson from Atlético Madrid at home.

After all, in the past two or three seasons, Barcelona's achievements have also made their mentality unparalleled. The outside world calls Barcelona the "cosmos team", and Barcelona's players also think that their team is the strongest team in the world. Atletico Madrid, who has risen this season I'm afraid it's still a long way from taking Barcelona's scepter!

"We will do our best at home, Atletico Madrid have improved a lot this season, so we will face them!" Alves said in an interview.

"We will prove ourselves at home!" Pique is also a figure who likes to make a splash in the media.

The other Barcelona players did not speak out, but the words of Pique and Alves basically represented the position of the Barcelona players.

Although not explicitly stated, everyone knows that Barcelona is waiting for revenge at home!

Can they get their revenge?

It will take more than a week to find out.

Before that, La Liga will play another round of the league.

On December 19, the sixteenth round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Malaga away.

The final result of the match was 2-0, with Atlético de Madrid winning away.

Atletico Madrid used a 442 formation in this game,

Gao Bo paired Diego Costa with Mane up front, with Diego Costa at the front, Mane behind him, and Griezmann returning to midfield as a back-up attacker.

Diego Costa, on the other hand, acts as a support center, creating opportunities for Mane and Griezmann.

This is Gao Bo trying more offensive methods of the team. In the end, Mane and Griezmann also performed well. Griezmann scored a goal, and Mane also dribbled the ball to the bottom line after the ball in the penalty area. Assisted Modric to score.

After this game, the next game of Atlético de Madrid is the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey!

If it is a normal opponent, maybe Gao Bo will consider rotation or something, but the opponent in this game is Barcelona, ​​and the game time of the King's Cup is on December 22. After this game, The team will enter a short winter break with about 13 days of rest adjustment.

Therefore, whether it is the opponent of this game or the game time of this game, Atletico Madrid can be assured and bold to send the main lineup to play.

Aguero has not fully recovered from this game, and Gao Bo does not intend to let him play. Therefore, Aguero has not entered the squad for this game.

Reyes has entered the squad, but Gao Bo does not intend to start Reyes, who has just recovered from injury. After all, he has not played for nearly two weeks, and his state is not very stable.

This game Gao Bo made some changes to the team's formation.

Griezmann and Diego Costa continued to start, with Griezmann in the middle, behind Diego Costa, as a nine-and-a-half.

In terms of midfield, Kante and Mario Suarez are two defensive midfielders stuck in the middle, while Modric and Raul Garcia are on the flanks.

Facing Barcelona away, Gao Bo had to make some changes in midfield. If he continued to follow the pattern of the previous game, Guardiola may not let Atletico Madrid retreat so easily at Camp Nou.

The game of football changes rapidly, and so does the tactics of the game.

Due to the different composition of personnel, Mane is very talented, but he is still a long way from Reyes' level. Diego Costa's characteristics are also different from Aguero's. changed.

The tactics of the previous game can be referred to, but the opponent is constantly changing, so Gao Bo is also seeking changes.

Modric looks thin, but his defensive hardness is also good, Raul Garcia can also provide enough defensive hardness, not to mention Kante, Mario Suarea is also a muscle A player used by the midfielder.

In terms of technology, facing the trio of Barcelona Xavi, Iniesta, and Busques, Atletico Madrid's midfielders may be at a disadvantage in terms of technology, so Gao Bo plans to use two defensive midfielders to deal with Xavi and Busques. Iniesta's technical midfield is combined.

It is normal for Gao Bo to be cautious in the away game. Barcelona's weakness Gao Bo is very clear, since Mourinho can use the muscular midfield to deal with Xavi and Iniesta, why can't Gao Bo?

Moreover, Atletico Madrid's quick offensive and defensive transitions are also very huge in terms of counterattack threats.

Atlético de Madrid originally played pressing football. Their frontcourt pressing and their fast passing were all to press the opponent and create space.

So Gao Bo is not at all worried that the team will not adapt to the fine-tuning of tactics.

......

Match day came quickly, and when Guardiola was pressed into Atletico Madrid's starting roster, Guardiola immediately frowned.

Catalan media said that Gao Bo was a tike-taka imitator before, but now it seems like a complete joke.

This high wave is not the same as Jose Mourinho.

Although Mourinho is utilitarian, his tactical thinking is consistent.

And this Gao Bo looks a bit unpredictable.

Before that, Atletico Madrid had always played good-looking technical offensive football. Of course, Guardiola also summed up the game that Barcelona lost to Atletico Madrid in the league. Of course, Atletico Madrid also has weaknesses. Guardiola is very clear. This, and just when he was preparing to deal with Atletico Madrid at home against the weaknesses exposed by Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid actually changed at this time.

And when Guardiola saw Kante and Mario Suarez play, he knew that Atletico Madrid would not be a good match.

In the visiting locker room at Camp Nou, Gao Bo also got the start of Barcelona.

Compared with Atlético de Madrid, which has made many changes, Barcelona is still a complete and fixed main lineup.

Goalkeeper Valdes.

The back line is Alves, Pique, Puyol, Maxwell.

Midfielder Busques, Xavi, Iniesta.

Strikers Messi, Villa, Pedro.

Despite the same lineup, Barcelona's tactics are actually very flexible.

There will of course be a lot of changes in Barcelona on the basis of overall possession.

Their penetration in the middle, breakthroughs on both sides, and even the full-back attack.

The means are very diverse.

To face this team at the Nou Camp is a pressure for any team.
