By convention, Gao Bo should have given the players a day off after a victory.
But because of the frequent events, Gao Bo canceled the vacation.
The Champions League quarter-finals are over on April 5th, and on April 8th, Atletico Madrid will soon be going away to Levante.
If there is a day off, the team basically does not need to do any pre-match preparation before the Levante.
Therefore, Gao Bo must ensure the state of the team on the field, and the vacation is uncontrollable, so he simply canceled the vacation.
This is also the consequence of frequent competitions.
When many La Liga teams participate in European competitions, they will lead to a decline in the league's performance, which is related to this.
However, Atletico Madrid's rotation has been doing well, basically the players of the first team can guarantee a certain amount of playing time.
Gao Bo's first team lineup is not huge, especially in the winter window, when he also sent away two players, Saul and Immobile, the number of the first team is even smaller.
But the small number of people does not mean that Atletico Madrid's bench is poor.
Gaobo focuses on quality, not quantity. If the first team maintains a large number of redundant personnel that are not needed, it is not a good thing for the team. In addition to the pressure on wages, it is also a damage to the unity of the team's locker room.
Everyone has a chance to play now, so there is no problem in the Atlético Madrid dressing room now, everyone has the same goal and works together.
In the game against Levante, Gao Bo once again made a large-scale rotation.
This is no surprise to the Spanish media.
This is the 32nd round of the league, and the next round, the 33rd round, will be playing against Real Madrid at home!
The derby in Madrid is naturally the focus, which is a game that has a very important impact on the championship form of the entire league.
No matter who wins or loses on both sides, or even a draw, it is a very significant change for the championship format!
Therefore, for this game, Gao Bo attaches great importance to it.
In this game against Levante, Gao Bo hid most of the main force, but also in order to hold back his strength to win Real Madrid at home and gain an absolute advantage in the league!
In the last Champions League game, Allegri said Atletico Madrid was lucky.
And in this game, their luck is not ideal.
The first is the weather. Before the start of the game, it started to rain in Valencia, and shortly after the start of the game, the rain gradually became heavier.
Levante's home stadium, City Stadium, is a small stadium that can only accommodate more than 20,000 spectators. The drainage facilities in the stadium are not very good. In fact, the home facilities of many small La Liga teams are not advanced.
Because of heavy rains like this, you don't get it a few times throughout the year in Spain.
The rain soon caused the stadium to accumulate water, and it became very difficult for football to run on such a field, and accidents became more frequent.
Atlético de Madrid is a team that is accustomed to cooperating on the ground. Therefore, such weather is undoubtedly quite unfavorable for Atlético de Madrid's offense!
From this point of view, Atletico Madrid is really bad luck.
Gao Bo stood on the sidelines, the rain beating on his face.
On the court, Mane wanted to complete a pass, but the football floated on the water, and this pass naturally turned into a loss.
But then Mane immediately fouled to prevent the opponent from fighting back.
This scene has happened several times.
Naturally, this game can hardly be called exciting.
Gao Bo shook his head.
"When will the rain stop?"
Gao Bo asked Moya depressedly.
"The weather forecast is realistic and the rain will ease in about ten minutes."
"Damn, this weather forecast has never been reliable!"
Gao Bo looked at the chaos on the field,
The team is completely unable to organize the offense in this situation.
And just when Gao Bo was thinking about changing his strategy, the accident on the court made Gao Bo even more depressed.
With a counterattack by Levante, the football flew high to the penalty area, and after hitting a pool of water on the ground, it floated to the other side, almost throwing Boateng a big somersault.
And Levante's starting striker Kone was furious!
The football just landed at his feet. On the edge of the penalty area, Corne kicked and shot. The football became slippery and heavy in the rain. Navas threw a hand with his hand, but he still didn't save the ball completely.
The football rolls into the net!
Atlético de Madrid one goal behind!
Gao Bo looked at the game time.
At this time, it was almost forty minutes, and the first half of the game was about to end.
Gao simply sat back on the coach's bench. In the second half, the team had to adjust.
One goal behind, it's not that big of a problem.
Gao Bo is not in a hurry.
However, before he even got hot on the coach's seat, he suddenly jumped up and ran to the sidelines.
At this time, Levante's offense was launched from the backcourt, and a long pass was sent directly to the frontcourt. This time it was another Levante striker, Senera.
After he stopped the ball in the chest, he took a long shot.
The football flies through the fishing net and into the Atlético de Madrid goal.
Throughout the first half, Levante scored two goals with two shots!
Valencia City Stadium is complete!
They saw a chance to beat the new league champions Atlético de Madrid at home!
At half-time, Gao Bo was harshly critical of the team's defense, and he also prepared Lucio to warm up.
Boateng's eyes were dim, he thought the head coach was going to replace him.
As a result, Gao Bo did not intend to do so.
"Lucio replaces Anthony!"
Replacing Griezmann? ! !
The players want to go.
Isn't it time to strengthen the offense now, why are you still preparing to play the back three?
"Godin goes up to play the center!! In such a venue, you don't need to play the ground. Give me a header in the penalty area!!"
Gao Bo slapped the table fiercely, his face hideous!
It was impossible to walk on the ground. Such a venue could not provide the conditions for ground cooperation at all. Griezmann's technical ability could not be used at all in such a venue, so Gao Bo simply replaced it with the most brutal tactics.
Hit with a header!
Pushing Godin into the penalty area, plus Diego Costa, and Mario Suarez, these tall men make a stop in the penalty area, which is still very deterrent!
"In any case, you must not lose!! Not even a draw! The league is over in a few games, and any loss of points may lead to the loss of the league championship!!"
Atletico Madrid's players also know the magnitude of the problem.
What is the difference between losing in a derby if you drop points yourself before facing Real Madrid. And winning Real Madrid is, of course, much more difficult than winning Levante.
Before the start of the second half, Lucio was seen on the sidelines.
"Atletico Madrid ready to replace a central defender?!"
Aduris is a little weird.
"Is it because Gao Bo was dissatisfied with Boateng's performance in the first half? To a certain extent, the two goals conceded by Atletico Madrid in the first half were indeed related to Boateng's defense, but it was more about because of the weather"
Just as Aduris was talking, the fourth official raised a sign for substitution.
Griezmann replaced? !
Aduriz was surprised, does Atletico Madrid want to play a three-back?
The doubts of Aduris are also the doubts of most people.
Until the game restarted, it was discovered that Gao Bo did not want to play as a back three.
Instead, a 4312 was played - Diego Costa and Godin at the front, and Mario Suarez behind them.
Atletico Madrid always has three high points in the penalty area, and Gao Bo also used all the cards that can improve his ability to cross, long pass and header from the side.
Then, things got easier.
Since the ground can't walk, they continue to pass long balls through the midfield and from both sides to smash Levante's defense.
Atletico Madrid's control is not bad, so after a steady stream of wide crosses and long pass rushes, Atletico Madrid finally scored the first goal in the 70th minute of the game.
The goal came from Diego Costa. Alba, the left-back, passed the ball from the flank.
After the goal, Atletico Madrid's morale was shaken. In the heavy rain, they kept sending the ball into the penalty area and hitting Levante's defense with high-altitude balls.
In the words of Aduris - this game finally shows that Gao Bo is a head coach from the lower league in England with a completely pure British style of play!
Although the attacking efficiency is low, when you try a lot, you can always score.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Godin also seized the opportunity to score!
Still a header!
The Atlético Madrid players did not celebrate after the goal, even if they equalised.
There are still ten minutes left in the game, they must hurry to score another goal, a draw is also a defeat for Atlético de Madrid.
Levante has completely abandoned the attack, and even a draw is acceptable to them.
While the whole line was shrinking, the long pass was rushing and the sky was pouring heavy rain.
For those who don't know, I'm afraid they thought it was a Championship or League One game in England.
In the last five minutes of the game, Gao Bo simply asked Boateng to go to the penalty area to play as a cameo center!
Always remember, there will be reverberations.
In the last minute of stoppage time, Mario Suarez grabbed a point. He headed the ball and slammed into the back point. Mane, who came up from the back point, slammed the ball into the goal with his stomach!
Another lore goal!
When Mane slammed the ball into the opponent's goal, everyone from the Atlético de Madrid bench came out.
In the heavy rain, Gao Bo raised his arms and shouted! !
The feeling of continuous lore to kill the game is really exciting.
The Atlético de Madrid players finally released all the pressure at this time!
On the court, after scoring a goal, Mane was heavily pressed by the players, and even the players on the bench came up to join in the fun!
High Wave breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about the consequences of losing this game, Gao Bo couldn't help sweating down his back.
