Wolfsburg seemed very silent during the halftime break.
Grafite clearly felt that his condition was declining.
The rest are somewhat lacking in motivation. Magath left his post directly after his contract expired this season, and the entire team is languishing.
Although last season's glory was somewhat accidental, Magath's contribution is indispensable.
Such a meritorious coach left them like this, and they seemed to have seen their future.
He was replaced by the coach of the original second-tier team, who was completely different from Magath in terms of prestige and ability.
Although he worked hard on the tactical board to give instructions for the second half, no one listened.
In the end, it was captain Josue who stood up and encouraged everyone.
The second half of the game started under such circumstances.
The fans of the home team were still very dissatisfied with the 1:1 score in the first half.
Especially the president in the VIP box, Enrique Cerezo, angrily kicked Abel Resino out of Atletico Madrid this season because he lost the possibility of going further in the Champions League.
His original first choice for head coach was Michel Laudrup.
However, the latter ignored Atletico Madrid at all, and in desperation, he chose Flores.
And now, facing Wolfsburg, whose form has declined this year, if they still can't win.
Then he will start to doubt whether Flores has the strength to lead Atletico Madrid to continue.
After all, although they won the first two games, their opponents were too weak. It is impossible for such a team to face Valencia and Barcelona.
It is even possible that the Madrid derby will end in a disastrous defeat. In this case, his position as club chairman may also be drowned in the saliva of the fans.
He saw some changes in the formation in the second half. The "Barbarian from the East" seemed to be positioned further forward.
Does Flores want to use this defensive midfielder as an organizer in the midfield?
What a joke, there is only one Pirlo in the world!
He turned to the general manager of the club next to him and said: "It seems that Flores was a little sick and rushed to the hospital. He actually wants that Lindy to be the organizer of the midfield. It's just messing up the piano."
Hill, the club's general manager, had a bitter look on his face. "You picked all the people, as if I had the right to interfere. You were the one who selected him at the time, and you are the one who dislikes him now. In front of Enrique Cerezo, he He would not say that, "Of course, I think so too. Although I have to admit that Lindy is very capable and Flores signing him for free will save us a lot of money, but he is arranging his troops." It seems that I am not as experienced as you in setting up the formation."
If Flores could hear the thoughts of the two club executives above him, he would probably vomit half a liter of blood.
Fortunately, they at least know how to respect the head coach and will not go too far to dictate the starting lineup.
…
Lindy, who was on the court at this time, felt differently.
In the past, he often stood in the midfield and watched his team's offense.
When necessary, he will also move forward, but that is all to better protect Simao and Reyes.
If the ball is lost in the frontcourt, it is Lindy's business to block the attack or counterattack on the spot.
But now, at Flores's signal, let him push forward.
He discovered that there wasn't much room to move around in these small spaces.
Once your pass is wrong, it may cause the opponent to counterattack.
Therefore, in the first 10 minutes of the second half, Lindy had many touches, organizations, and passes in the frontcourt.
But they are relatively too conservative, and cannot achieve the kind of exquisite through ball that Flores wants, or the imaginative passing like Tintin.
Even Lao Liu discovered Flores's change of formation, "We can clearly see that Lindy's position is further forward than in the first half. Atletico Madrid's head coach Flores seems to intend to let He's going to run the offense."
"However, we all know that the data shows that before this, Lindy has always played as a midfielder and midfielder, and has never mentioned the position of MC or AMC. This should be a new one for him. challenge."
"Of course, we are also very much looking forward to whether Flores's discerning eye can cultivate an all-round midfield core for our China!"
But now, Flores is already a little regretful. He asked Lindy to try to do some organizational work. Is it too difficult for him?
Just as he was thinking about it, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
58th minute.
Wolfsburg used a backcourt press to seize the ball from Atletico Madrid and once again launched a counterattack.
Full-back Shafir didn't wait for Atletico Madrid to counterattack on the spot, and made a long pass to find Dzeko in the frontcourt.
The latter received the ball and cooperated with Graffit, shook off Ibañez's defense on the left edge of the penalty area, and shot directly from a long distance.
The football went straight to the far corner, and De Gea hit the ball with one palm.
Wolfsburg received a foul ball, and winger Chiani directly threw the ball far away to Dzeko in order to obtain a fast break effect.
But at this time, Lindy suddenly appeared, leaped high, and passed the ball to Simang, who was returning to defense.
Simao stopped the ball with his chest and quickly rushed towards Wolfsburg's half.
Atletico Madrid's quick turnaround came back.
Lindy also accelerated to catch up at this time. He remembered his mission to participate in the attack, and kept repeating it silently to brainwash himself.
During the attack, Simao was double-teamed by Misimovich and Josue. He had no choice but to pass the ball back to Lindy.
Lindy was still chanting silently, "Attack, attack!"
Suddenly, Simang passed a pass back. He didn't react in time and almost missed the ball.
After such a delay, most of the people in Wolfsburg had already crossed the center line.
Even Lao Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, the problem with Chinese players is still here. The offensive end is particularly weak. They can rarely play beautiful fast breaks and rarely catch those long passes. Their basic skills are still..."
Before Liu could finish speaking, Lin Tu suddenly made a long pass. This was his second long pass since coming to Atletico Madrid, and he usually made a big-footed clearance.
After all, I can see my own data, so what is it called? I have a good idea.
Unlike some people who can't see their own data and don't believe in official data, they are simply too confident.
The ball passed by Lindy crossed the court more than 40 meters and flew over the heads of the running Barzagli and Aguero.
Everyone thought the ball was going to fly out of the baseline, even Barzagli and Aguero thought so.
Aguero has slowed down. Looking at Aguero behind him who is no longer chasing him, Barzagli is relieved and slowly slows down.
Other Wolfsburg players who were returning to defense and Atletico Madrid players who wanted to counterattack in the frontcourt stopped running.
Flores off the court also slapped his thigh, and now he even regretted letting Lindy organize the attack!
"Lindy made a long pass. It seemed that he was looking for Aguero who was running upfield. Aguero was very fast, but Lindy's pass seemed a bit too big. It seemed that he couldn't catch up. Come on, wait!"
The moment the football landed, the strong rotation caused the football to change direction again after landing...
