The magic Murphy''s law says that the more you worry, the more things will happen.
Before the final, both the management of alpine and Zidane''s coaching staff are very afraid of Ramos'' header. They repeatedly remind the players to pay attention to reducing the set pieces in the back court and Ramos at the same time.
As a result, there are always two ways of thinking in the face of passing and controlling in the game. One is high level pressure, but it consumes a lot of physical energy, requires high tactical execution and team cooperation of players, and there are many loopholes behind the defense.
The other is to guard against the defensive, which is a very conservative way of playing, is to take the initiative to give up control of the ball.
When China city played Bayern Munich before, it adopted the latter method.
But Simone is obviously more aggressive. He wants to keep his defense steady, but at the same time, he doesn''t want Chinatown to control the ball too much. After all, the offensive firepower of Chinatown in the recent three rounds of league matches is fierce one by one, Simone must be afraid.
As a result, the back line of Atletico Madrid tends to stay behind in order to guard against the Trident''s anti offside in the front court of Chinatown. However, in order to prevent Chinatown from controlling the ball, the middle and front court press a little more, which makes the midfield and the back line out of touch.
As for villa''s side, it''s mainly because he is not young after all. Naturally, he can no longer press the right back of Chinatown like he did at the peak, and villa''s game is closer to the middle.
After listening to Gao''s words, Platini took a closer look at the game, which is really so.
"It seems that there is still a game to play." The president of UEFA laughs.
Gao Han nodded, the goal is not necessarily a bad thing.
If a goal can wake up the whole Chinatown, abandon the previous worries about gain and loss, and everyone has a unified idea, then this game is really worth playing.
…………

Zidane clearly saw what the high cold had seen.
The French coach quickly walked out of the coaching position and kept shouting at the players on the sidelines to adjust his command.
As expected by the cold weather, after losing one goal, Chinatown seemed to be fully aware of the situation. On the contrary, the team was more open-minded and performed better.
Zidane''s adjustment is also very threatening to point to the loophole in Atletico Madrid''s defense, that is the right side.
Danilo began to become the team''s right stable ball point, the Brazilian right back frequently get the opportunity to press forward actively and boldly.
The Brazilian right back''s personal ability is not bad, and the forward assists are also very threatening. For a time, the whole right attack of Chinatown has been activated, becoming the most threatening player on the field.
But Atletico Madrid is not a fuel-efficient light, Simone quickly made adjustments, China City attack to the front right, by the bedspread regiment''s strict restrictions, the threat is not big.
The first half ended with Zidane''s team falling 1-0.
The entire stadium of light became a stage for Atletico Madrid fans to celebrate, and all of them cheerfully celebrated ahead of time.
King''s Cup final, La Liga... This season, China city has fallen at the foot of Atletico Madrid again and again.
Now it looks like the Champions League final is likely to be the same.
…………
…………
"The whistle at the end of the first half of the game has already sounded."
"One to zero, Atletico Madrid with Ramos goal, temporarily ahead of China city
"We have to marvel at Ramos, but we also have to feel sorry for Chinatown."
"They have lost to Atletico Madrid in the king''s cup and La Liga in succession. If they lose in the Champions League final again, they will miss three important trophies this season. Sanya king may be their eternal regret."
"Of course, we must also say that it is impressive that Chinatown can play to the present level this season. With their average age, they can become a powerful force that can not be ignored in European football in time."
"There is still the second half of the game, we are looking forward to Zidane and Simone can make adjustments as soon as possible, I believe the two teams will give us another wonderful second half
…………
…………
For Gao Han and others in the stands, the 15 minutes of intermission is extremely long.
Every minute seems to be suffering, which is totally different from when he was in charge.
If he is the head coach of the team, he should analyze and summarize the gains and losses in the first half in the dressing room, and assign the tasks in the second half. But now he can only sit in the stands and wait in a hurry.
He would like to see it in the dressing room, but reason tells him it''s not allowed.
The dressing room at this time should belong to Zidane, not him.
After 15 minutes, the two teams returned to the game, and neither team changed.
But after the start of the game, alpine obviously saw the change of Atletico Madrid.
Simone changed the team''s formation from the original 4-3-3 to 4-1-4-1.
There is only one Torres left in the front line, and the next four midfielders are villa, Schneiderlin, ereira and Navas, with Gabriel at the end.
This is absolutely intentional!
Alpine is very clear, this is Simone for China City in the last ten minutes of the first half of the targeted strategy given.
There is a saying that is quite right. If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of them.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Danilo did not seem to create a threat, but Simone was also worried about whether Zidane would arrange targeted tactics and further use the right side to create an article.
Therefore, he simply does not do two endlessly, adjusts the team''s formation directly, shrinks by the defensive counter attack posture.
"Great! Simone is becoming more and more sophisticated and ruthless in the use of troops now! " High cold can''t help admiring.
Simone''s strategy is relatively more conservative, which is well known. After a goal in hand, he simply retreated to his own half and concentrated on the counterattack of Chinatown, which is no doubt a logical thing.
Villa was pulled to the side, began to create a lot of trouble for Danilo, is tantamount to containing Danilo''s forward assists.
At the same time, Torres cruises in the front court, is like a duck to water, Atletico Madrid''s defensive counterattack is also easier to create a threat.
Simone''s move is really powerful.
Looking back at Zidane, he obviously wants to strengthen the attack on the right side, so after this move was abandoned by Simone, Zidane has some helplessness. The whole scene looks a bit like Zidane remains unchanged, but Simone succeeded in the transformation.
At this point, Zidane or exposed the weakness of rookie coach.
Experience is still not enough, especially in targeted tactics and on-the-spot command.
But precisely because of this, it is not difficult to see that Zidane has great potential in the future.
In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Chinatown had the right to control the ball, but it was difficult to create a threat. On the contrary, it was a bit fragmented.
Simone''s tactical adjustment played a role and everyone was waiting for Zidane.
Alpine is also, but he doesn''t want Zidane to rush.
"The more critical the moment is, the more we have to hold our ground, keep calm and clear our thinking." Gao Han muttered to himself.
If at this time, in order to change the situation as soon as possible, China city will lose the chance to reverse the situation, but if Zidane thinks clearly, he will still have a lot of hope.
Alpine watch the game at the same time, but also from time to time to pay attention to Zidane in front of the coach, hoping to be able to understand his intention and ideas from his every move.
