Counterattack vs Counterattack

Counterattack vs Counterattack

How does this usually work out?

the much better counterattacking team (Atleti) wins

two teams sit back and it the end one has to attack, so the attacking team ends up losing. whichever team has the most patience wins

Boring matches. Both teams sit back. Team with better defence wins. Vardy is going to get completely smothered.

Atletico know how to play with the ball, they don't play agaisnt Barca or Madrid every week.
The defensives system aren't the same too, when they're playing well, Atletico practice an all pitch pressure when Leicester keeps a low defensive block.

0-0

They will win thanks to le Oui Man

...

>match begins
>neither team touches the ball
>the crowd is stunned
>both teams drop off and form a block of 10 in front of their 18 yard box
>the ball is at half
>the ref doesn't know what to do
>the commentators are silent
>the ball is at half
>the players wait
>the ball is at half
>the beautiful game is ruined forever
>

reff actually can end the match in that situation

Like the first leg of Atletico - Chelsea in 2013-14.

>30th minute
>both teams were totally still for half an hour
>vardy and griezmann face each other
>everything is silent
>a drop of water hits the ground
>they both begin to sprint towards the ball
>it's close but griezmann comes in first
>vardy yells "venez me combattre, chatte" in perfect fluent french
>griezmann face turns red, he goes to vardy and punches him
>red card
>play off
>ball is at the middle
>vardy prepares for his coup while the 9 remaining atleticos wait in their box, terrified
>vardy shoots from 40m
>perfect shot into the cross
>lestah wins
>shakespeare becomes manager of the year

Reminder that Sevilla are above Atletico in La Liga.

Each team will try to take control of the match to some extent in their respective home games. Leicester knows that they will still have a chance to advance even if they lose in Madrid as long as it is by just one goal of difference.

30% ball possession for each team.

semen slurping

poorly

atletico usually overperform in CL

Atleti was disregard playing the ball and into counterattack 2 years ago.

Now they can play the ball too. While keeping a formidable fast transition as well.

You're living in 2014, Australia.

People are so underestimating Atlético it's hilarious

Sevilla is a Liga/Europa League team. A million times better than the current english champion, but they poo the diapers when playing in the CL.

PREPARE YOUR ANUS FAKE MADRID IT'S A BIG ONE

WEAR THE FOX
WEAR THE BLUE
WE WILL COME THROUGH

it's not their best season desu
also it's not understimating Atleti as much as it is overstimating Leicester and their ability to produce upsets

meme magic is real mate

You still don't understand the true power of Leicester City FC

This. Watch some football.

fpbp

N-nani?!

Nani is black and plays for Valencia you moron

They bait each other to attack

*saved

Watch last seasons Atleti - PSV knock-out matches and you'll know

>two 0-0 matches

This, it ironically usually ends up on one team playing keepball, usually the better team

Whoever needs to win more loses because they end up possessing. Always, always the case.

Atleti can create. Not at the same level as Barcelona or Real/Bayern, but they are not just another Mourinho style team.

pic-related

Sevilla in the CL was knocked out by Fenerbahce, CSKA and now Leicester.

I think they just don't like the competition that much.

good point
