While watching the video, Zhou Yi used the remote control to pause the playback from time to time, then wrote and painted on the small notebook on the coffee table, thought for a while, then pressed the remote control to continue playing.

After watching it once, he played it again from the beginning.

After repeating this several times, he turned off the TV.

When he walked into the bedroom, Cortana was already lying in bed and ready to go to bed.

"I thought you were going to see the second half of the night." Cortana joked at the beginning.

But she found that Zhou Yi had no response to her joke, but frowned, so she asked seriously: "What's wrong? Is the opponent very strong?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Very strong."

"Better than Bayern Munich?"

"In a sense... it's better than Bayern Munich. The main reason is that their tactics are very targeted, especially for me..." Zhou Yi sat down by the bed. "Simone's team is a team that is very good at physical confrontation, and I'm not good at physical confrontation."

Of course, Cortana knew Zhou Yi’s advantages and disadvantages, and she was also worried: “That is indeed a very troublesome opponent. Is there any way you can do it?”

Zhou Yi shook his head: "There's no way."

"Ah?" Cortana actually heard Zhou Yi say this. "What should I do?"

"I have to play even if I can't help it. Then I'll do my best." Zhou Yi really has no choice now. He plans to enter the virtual space to play against Atletico Madrid, and accumulate enough experience in the competitions against Atletico Madrid again and again.

Now, there is only this kind of countermeasure.

He could not have transformed himself into a muscle madman in just three or four days, without fear of physical confrontation.

Atletico Madrid will definitely make a fuss about his physical characteristics.

※※※

Before the training began the next day, Zhou Yi knocked on the door of Klopp's office and returned the USB flash drive to head coach Klopp. Klopp was a little surprised: "...you can continue watching..."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "No need, I've already remembered it in my mind."

Klopp did not question Zhou Yi's statement. He believed Zhou Yi, so he asked: "Have you noticed their 'isolation' of Messi?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "I noticed it."

Atletico Madrid's defense against Messi was very successful in this game.

You should know that before the game, Barcelona's official website also specifically looked forward to Messi's performance in this game: "Messi broke the goal of Atletico Madrid eight times at Stadium Calderon. Fans should remember the 2007 Barcelona slaughtered Atletico Madrid 6-0 away game. Messi scored twice. He scored twenty goals against Atletico Madrid and was the killer of the bed sheet army. Atletico Madrid's defenders will have a nightmare night!"

Barcelona coach Martino also said that Messi will be the winner of the game.

As a result, these two FLAGs are in good shape.

There were very few shots about Messi in the whole game. In the few close-up shots, they all looked dejected and invigorated.

Atletico Madrid's high-pressure pressing pushed Messi desperately out of the penalty area, defending the penalty area to prevent Messi from coming in.

Messi, who was far away from the penalty area, was cut off from the contact with other teammates by Atletico Madrid. Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets found it difficult to control the ball calmly under Atletico Madrid's press, and it was difficult to connect with Messi.

In this way, Messi had to compete with a group of iron-blooded men in Atletico Madrid to compete with perseverance.

But this is not Messi's strength.

So at Calderon Stadium, Messi completely disappeared. He could not see the extraordinary he was familiar with, nor could he see the accurate pass, and his shot deviated from the target again and again.

In addition, Messi's condition is indeed not good in this game, but I don't know if he is in poor condition under Atletico Madrid's targeted defensive tactics, or is he in poor condition. Because Atletico Madrid entered their rhythm from the beginning, he did not give Messi a chance to show his condition at all.

After the game, there was a running distance statistics for the whole game. Messi, who played for 90 minutes and was not replaced in the middle, had a running distance of only 6,853 meters! It was less than 7,000 meters!

In this game, Barcelona goalkeeper Pinto had a running distance of 5,359 meters. The 34-year-old veteran Xavi's running distance even exceeded 10,000 meters!

Such performance even makes people wonder whether Messi did his best in the match against Atletico Madrid...

After the game, in response to the arrogant declaration before the game of Barcelona's official website, Atletico Madrid fans made a missing person notice to mock Messi and Barcelona: "Leo Messi, 27 years old, nationality from Argentina, plays for Club Barcelona. He was lost at the Calderon Stadium in Madrid at 7:45 pm on April 10, 2014. He wore black T-and-black shorts when he was lost... If anyone is in the information, please contact Club Barcelona as soon as possible, and there will be a central reward!"

It's so malicious...

"I think as long as Simeone has no brain problems, Atletico Madrid will 'isolate' you like this at that time," Klopp said.

"Of course." Zhou Yi was not surprised at all, nor even worried or worried.

Klopp noticed Zhou Yi's reaction, so he asked curiously: "What are your ways to deal with it?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "There is no way to deal with it, I just have a way of thinking..."

Klopp didn't expect that Zhou Yi could actually take out something. He felt more and more that he was correct to let Zhou Yi watch the game video - he knew that Zhou Yi would definitely be able to create surprises!

"Oh? Let's hear!" Klopp talked forward expectantly, looking "slowly".

"Atlantic Madrid's high-pressure pressing is indeed a big trouble for teams that emphasize ball control. But coach, we are not considered ball control teams..." Zhou Yi spread his hands.

Klopp was stunned when he heard Zhou Yi's words.

Zhou Yi did not stop and continued: "For those teams with weak strength, we do have the advantage of ball control, but we never have the advantage of ball control with those teams that are similar and even stronger than us. Think about the game we just played against Bayern Munich. After the whole game, we had a 29% possession rate, but we beat Bayern Munich 3:1. So I think we should not be very afraid of Atletico Madrid's high-pressure."

Klopp nodded repeatedly when he heard this, thinking that what Zhou Yi said made sense.

"In addition, we have a powerful weapon to deal with pressing, that is our 'Footbonaut'. Our quick pass and cut are simply natural nemesis of high-pressing."

Hearing this, Klopp's eyes lit up.

What is high-level pressing? It means to rely on pressing to form a numerical advantage in some areas to encircle the ball-controlling side.

Doing this will inevitably leave some areas that cannot be taken care of in other places, and there will definitely be room behind you.

However, it is still difficult for most teams to protect themselves, and it is impossible to take advantage of the space left behind by the opponent after pressing.

But this is not a big problem for Dortmund, a team that can play fast passes and cuts.

You can come up and press, but I can also pass the football out before your press is in place. As long as you can pick the football out of the encirclement, your press will lose its effect. Instead, I will have a lot of room to develop the offense.

Of course, such analysis is only based on theory and lacks practice, but as Zhou Yi said, this does provide Klopp with an idea, and it is still a very good idea. It is better than before, if you have a dark look and have no idea, right?

Klopp was very excited and happy, looking at his proud disciple again... he was a real "proud disciple", which made him proud. Among all the players he coached, the player he liked, admired, favored and relied on the most was Zhou Yi.

Sometimes, the role and influence that Zhou Yi has shown in the team has exceeded the scope of a top player.

I just watched the game video for him, but in fact I didn’t say much hope. I just wanted to prepare Zhou Yi for what situation he would face during the game.

As a result, Zhou Yi gave him a big surprise. He asked curiously: "Is this what you thought of one night?"

Zhou Yi could hear the surprise and appreciation in Klopp's tone. He wanted to be more low-key, so he shook his head: "Not counting. When I was watching the live broadcast of the game before, I had considered what to do when I met them, but it was not very clear at that time. After watching the video edited by the coaching team many times, my thoughts gradually became clear..."

In fact, he lied, this was a lie of kindness. He couldn't tell Klopp that he played eight games with Atletico Madrid in the virtual space where he slept at night before he could figure out his thoughts, right?

Klopp had already considered Zhou Yi. Although he didn't think about it overnight, it was amazing - how many players would take the initiative to watch opponents' games and think about tactical issues?

Zhou Yi has done well enough, so he can't be demanding anything anymore.

So he stood up and rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I did a good job, and the next step is training. We will continue to strengthen our rapid transmission and cutting cooperation in training! We must modify the training plan..."

As he said that, he couldn't wait to call the coaching staff one by one and inform them to come to his office for a meeting.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Zhou Yi decided to say goodbye and leave, but Klopp was kept: "Wait, Zhou Yi, stay. Come and tell them your ideas, I think this is only for you."

But it was not the first time Zhou Yi participated in a meeting between the coaching team, so he did not refuse and nodded happily.
Chapter completed!
