Chapter 1170 De Bruyne's Choice
Du Yue's hat-trick is his fourth hat-trick in the league this season. After this hat-trick, his league goals this season have increased to [-]. Considering that there are still [-] rounds in the league, With his current scoring rate, breaking the record of [-] goals seems to have great hope!
Of course, it is also very difficult. Everyone knows that if Du Yue concentrates on playing in the league, he may have a great chance. However, with the distraction of games like the Champions League, can he continue to play like this? Scoring ability is still an unknown.
"It's enough to play game after game." Du Yue said about this.
His attitude is very pragmatic. Although it is not so arrogant, it is more in line with his personality.
After winning the game, the Southampton team flew to Madrid to prepare for the first round of the Champions League knockout round.
The strongest supplement that Atletico Madrid got this summer is Suarez. The Uruguayan superstar is still strong, but he was given up by Barcelona due to various factors. For Atletico Madrid, as long as they have a reliable striker, then Must be able to have good results.
The fact is the same. They performed very well in the league this season, suppressing Real Madrid and Barcelona, and they are very likely to win their No. 11 league titles.
Under such circumstances, the performance in the Champions League is a bit worse, and Simeone will not have too much pressure.
Simeone has made some changes in tactics this season. After the steel defense line collapsed, he paid more attention to midfield control and offense this season. The advantage in the midfield is still quite obvious.
In this game, Simeone sent a three-four-two-one lineup, which is also Atletico Madrid's main lineup this season.
Goalkeeper Oblak, three defenders Hermoso, Savage and Felipe, Llorente and Koke in the middle of the midfield, Lemar and Saul on both sides, Correa and Felix as two Attacking the midfielder, Suarez came forward alone.
This is a lineup that focuses on midfield control and pressing. Their midfield seems to have more offensive players. However, under Simeone's training, their running and confrontation are quite good.
Simeone's team, even in an extremely offensive formation like [-], will do a very good job defensively.
In fact, although they have earned a lot of points in the league this season, they are basically at a disadvantage in terms of ball possession rate, so you can know what their tactics are like.
And Ji Ya certainly wouldn't ignore this point.
In this game, Southampton's starting lineup is quite satisfactory, and there are no surprises-in fact, there will be basically no surprises in the confrontation between the top teams. Playing surprises is to make yourself uncomfortable.
Goalkeeper Martin, defenders Cancelo, Araujo, De Ligt and Chilwell, midfielders Grealish, Soucek, De Bruyne, forwards Du Yue, Vinicius, Valverde.
"The starters of both sides are very stable, but Atletico Madrid sits at home, can they play more aggressively? Southampton now has a problem that many of their players have accumulated yellow cards in the group stage. Among them, Soucek and De Bruyne will be suspended after receiving another yellow card. This is not a good thing, while Atletico Madrid successfully shuffled the cards in the penultimate round of the group stage. Their players will not be troubled like this , from this point of view, Ji Ya doesn't seem to care too much about this aspect."
In the commentator's commentary, Ji Ya and Simeone shook hands. He really didn't care much about this issue. Considering the overall strength of Southampton, even if one of Du Yue and De Bruyne was suspended, it would not affect their strength. The impact will not be particularly large. After all, there is Alvarez as a substitute for the striker and Bellingham as a substitute for the midfielder. Influence.
Ji Ya's tactics for this game are very simple, control the midfield, look for opportunities, pay attention to the opponent's counterattack, use the most calm game method, come to the away game to achieve a good result, and then solve the opponent at home.
This is a kingly solution, and it is also Southampton's approach to maximize its advantages.
Atletico Madrid will definitely defend and counterattack to find opportunities. Whether they are Correa, Felix or Suarez in the frontcourt, if they seize an opportunity, they may score a goal. The rest is how to block the opponent's attack.
From the beginning of the game, the two sides let the game enter such a rhythm without any surprises.
Southampton had the ball to attack, and Atletico Madrid recovered the defense and was ready to counterattack at any time.
Of course there is a reason for Atletico Madrid to use this tactic, because no matter how good Southampton's ball possession attack is, they can't have no problems and don't give Atletico Madrid any chance to counterattack-as long as Atletico Madrid can catch it once Chances are, that's enough!
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, they created a good counterattack opportunity.
In the press of Atletico Madrid, Grealish made a mistake in the pass. After Cork intercepted the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Felix near the center circle. The young Portuguese teenager began to dribble the ball forward quickly.
At the age of 19, he was bought by Atletico Madrid at a sky-high price of more than [-] million. Of course, it was not Simeone who took kickbacks. In terms of technical characteristics, he is undoubtedly a genius. soon.
This time, as soon as he started, he rushed past Soucek.
However, just as he rushed over, De Bruyne made up for it from the side, and then made a tackle on the ground, bringing Felix to the ground.
De Bruyne is not a player with a lot of movement, but he is a player with a good vision. He can see that Felix's breakthrough will be difficult to stop. When he gets up to speed, it will cause a lot of damage It was a big threat, so even if he got another card, he would be suspended, and he chose to foul without hesitation!
The referee's whistle blew, he ran over and showed De Bruyne a yellow card.
There were huge boos from the Atletico fans in the stands, trying to create more psychological pressure on De Bruyne.
"Ooh! De Bruyne got a yellow card just 1 minute into the game! This is not a good thing, he will miss the second leg of the game! And he can't get another card in this game! De Bruyne's importance to Southampton is unquestionable, can he maintain enough peace of mind next?"
Amid the narrator's shouts, De Bruyne retreated back without changing his expression. He was prepared for this when he fouled, so he is now in a very calm mood.
