When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the Valencia City Stadium was in full swing!

On the court, some players were celebrating the team's good start with excitement, while others were slacking off their heads, just like a defeated rooster.

The same is true on the side of the court.

Although they were just promoted to the first team this summer, the reactions of the two coaches were completely different after the game.

In front of the home coaching area, Levante's new coach Granero is hugging his assistants, his face full of red, indescribable spirit and endless ambitions.

In the visiting team coach's seat, Zambrano, the head coach of the visiting team Atletico Madrid, was ashamed of his face and did not dare to show up.

He is using this method to avoid the live broadcast of reporters and TV stations.

On the Valencia City Stadium scoreboard, there is a surprising score, four to one!

International practice: the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.

This is a complete defeat!

At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid showed a super victory, turned away, and pushed forward with a large margin. It also successfully used the exquisite cooperation of two center forwards Kiko and Salva to break through Levante's goal and gained a lead.

But after leading, Atletico Madrid did not slow down, but continued to push up, intending to expand the score.

But at this moment, Levante launched a counterattack, and forward Keku seized the opportunity and scored a goal to equalize the score.

After being tied, Zambrano still did not choose to retreat, but continued to ask the players to increase their offensive investment.

On the other hand, Levante stood firmly in his half and adopted a tactic of counterattack.

Finally, in the 26th minute, Levante seized the opportunity again. After Kaiku successfully counterattacked, he broke into the penalty area, passed the ball across the goal, assisted his teammates to score, and reversed the score.

Continuous conceding goals, Atletico Madrid's morale is unstable.

During the break, Zambrano even loudly criticized the players' performance, demanding that the offense be strengthened in the second half, equalize the score as soon as possible, or even reverse.

But what I never expected was that Levante's defense was unexpectedly tenacious, but the counterattack was extremely sharp. In the 52nd and 68th minutes, two counterattacks caused goals, and finally locked the score at 4-1.

This is a result that no one would have thought of before the game!

But it happened!

Zambrano sat in the coach's seat, and even the players walked off the court, he did not follow the usual routine to shake hands with them.

The anger that distrust, suspicion, and even accusations made him escape.

"You bastards, don't you work hard, do you think I can't see it?"

"If you work harder, will the defense line be so easily broken by the opponent?"

"If you fight a little more on the court, can Levante get the opportunity so easily?"

"Now that you lost the game, are you going to blame me? Doubt me?"

"Damn it, I'm not finished with you!"

…………

…………

Although Zambrano desperately tried to avoid the camera, his ferocious expression because of his anger was still captured by the live broadcast of the TV and presented it to all the fans.

This is the disadvantage of live broadcasts!

Gao Han naturally saw it.

"Zambrano is too anxious and too persistent in winning!"

This is his own opinion given by Gao Han after watching the full game live broadcast.

"Yeah." Cantalero also agreed very much, "The overall strength of the first team is still better than Levante. If Zambrano leads the game, it is estimated that Levante will not be that easy for him to fight back."

But Gao Han didn't think so.

"I think the most important thing is the aging of the defense line and the mentality of the players."

Atletico Madrid's first-team defense is aging, which is a very serious problem.

In fact, this problem has always existed in the past few years.

Although Atletico Madrid's style is simple and rough, in fact, this is a very typical La Liga team that attaches great importance to the team's offense. It can even be said that Atletico Madrid's tactics themselves revolve around the striker.

From Kiko and Penev during the doubles, to Vieri, to Hasselbaink, to now Salva.

In Atletico Madrid's tactics, powerful centers always occupy a crucial position.

Therefore, even if you are relegated and sold Hasselbaink, Atletico Madrid will immediately try every means to dig up Salva, the best scorer in La Liga.

Use a strong center forward to suppress the opponent's central defender, threaten the opponent's goal, and then firmly suppress the opponent through the forward movement of the defense line and the overall pressure of the midfield, thereby maximizing the advantages of the powerful center forward.

But such a tactic has two major risks.

First, the defense line moves forward, which requires higher requirements for the defenders, especially to achieve rapid upward grabs and retreats.

But now Atletico Madrid's defense is full of veterans, and it is obviously impossible to adapt to such tactical styles.

Zambrano sticks to the team's traditional playing style and does not adjust the tactics based on the characteristics of the players, which is purely to play with weaknesses and avoid strengths.

In the 88th minute, in the final stage of the game, the red card of centre-back veteran Fernandez is the best example.

"There is another point, and the most important point, the players' hearts are dispersed."

Gao Han shook his head, "At least in the midfield and frontcourt team pressure, I can't see the players doing their best."

The oppression of the team in the midfield and frontcourt is the basis of Atletico Madrid's traditional style of play.

If this link is missing, the defense line is rashly pressing on it, but allowing the opponent to shoot the ball easily, it is purely seeking death.

So, in the game, Levante fought back, almost every one hit and the other was accurate!

"I heard that after Zambrano was promoted to the first team, he had a very unhappy relationship with a group of veterans in the team." Sergio Garcia said with a sneer.

"Oh?" Gao Han then remembered that his assistant and Zanburano seemed to have formed a bond.

"I heard it too." Garcia shrugged and said disdainfully.

"After Zambrano entered the first team, he directly increased the volume in training, and at the same time put forward higher requirements for the players in terms of tactics. The veteran led by captain Aguilera responded on behalf of the team, but as a result... he insisted on his own."

Gao Han nodded, it really looked like Zambrano's style.

"Also, after Zambrano raised the first team, he publicly stated in the first press conference that he would vigorously promote youthful reforms in the team, especially the defense line."

After hearing this, Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "He is so self-righteous!"

There is no doubt that Zambrano's coaching performance in the second team is indeed brilliant, but that has nothing to do with coaching the first team.

Sometimes there are some things that can be done, but they cannot be said.

It's like he wants to promote younger age, is this right? Is there any reason?

Yes, very right, very reasonable.

But the problem is, if you say it so blatantly, the media and fans are happy and think you are awesome, but what will the veterans think? What will they think in their hearts?

Professional players are also humans, and they will also have all the emotions of ordinary people.

Zambrano is indeed botchy when it comes to dealing with this issue.

Perhaps, he had thought of it, but he was too optimistic about his prestige.

Optimistic, he felt that even if he said that, the players would still work hard for him wholeheartedly.

But, is this possible?

…………

…………

The league's crushing defeat soon affected Atletico Madrid.

The next morning, Gao Han arrived at the Sports City, and it was obvious that he could feel the changes on the faces of the club from top to bottom, from the security guards at the gate, and from the staff in the Sports City.

It gives people a very depressing and depressing feeling.

When Gao Han came to the training area of ​​the youth team, he saw the team's equipment administrator moving things to the first team training area.

"Hey, Anthony." Gao Han passed by and greeted casually.

Anthony Lilalandi looked up and saw that it was Gao Han, and squeezed out a stiff smile, "Hi."

"Didn't the first team have a rest today?" Gao Han asked strangely.

Lila Randy shook her head, "As usual, we need to rest, but... Zambrano changed the plan."

"Oh." Gao Han nodded.

"I won't tell you anymore, they are rushing to set up the training ground."

Watching Lila Randi move away with her things, Gao Han looked at the first team training ground from a distance.

Inside, Zambrano was directing the coaching team members to set up the training ground, but strangely, no one spoke.

This is professional football!

Very cruel and realistic!
