The head coaches of the two teams did not make many arrangements during the halftime break and made few adjustments.
The main reason is that we are very familiar with each other, so even if there are any changes or adjustments, we can guess them.
For example, the Madrid Pirates will strengthen the high-position press to contain the King's offense and gain more offensive opportunities. This is one of the tactics commonly used by the Madrid Pirates.
Since they mainly focus on passing and controlling, how could they not use the high post to press?
The advantage of passing control combined with high-position pressing is amazing.
Similarly, the Madrid Kings have a player like Melli with excellent individual combat ability, and a strong high center forward Ryan Vandenberg with excellent ball-playing ability. Naturally, it is impossible to deal with the Madrid Pirates in the midfield.
Instead, he will try to play the football forward, quickly pass through the midfield, and hand the ball to Melli's feet.
Therefore, compared to their rivals in the same city, the Kings of Madrid emphasize moving forward and speed.
Not only Melli, but other players will also try to increase their speed during the game and reduce cross passes or back passes. Although this will increase the turnover rate, once successful, it may penetrate the Pirates' defense and create very fatal opportunities.
.
The characteristics of the two teams are so distinct and they are so familiar with each other. It can be said that if the other team lifts its butt, it will know exactly what it is going to do.
With such a familiar opponent, fighting basically requires hard power and luck, so it is difficult to take advantage of the situation.
Neither team made substitutions during the halftime break, and they simply swapped venues in the second half.
Mohammad Osei continued to press Maxi Carey, and Carey quickly moved the football away when facing his pressing, trying not to let the opponent entangle himself.
However, speeding up the ball will inevitably make it impossible to sort out the midfield in a slow manner. Carey mostly transfers the ball to the two wings and uses the passing ability of the wings to threaten the King of Madrid goal.
On the other hand, if the Madrid Kings get the ball, they will directly pass the ball forward to find their high center forward Vandenberg. At the same time, Cerrados and Melly pay great attention to competing for the second placement.
At the same time, because he passes through the midfield quickly, Dudu Carlos does not have to stay behind, but can press forward to increase the attack point.
After the start of the second half, the two teams went back and forth in a lively manner.

"Hu Lai—oh, what a pity!"
In the TV broadcast, the football passed diagonally in front of the Madrid King's goal. Hulay, who was in the back, threw his whole body and tackled the football, but just missed it.
But Hulay is not to blame for this goal, because when Di Kunzo took off, no one knew whether he was passing the ball or shooting.
Because of this, the defender and goalkeeper of the Kings of Madrid were shaken at the same time, so that neither of them touched the ball.
But it also shocked the teammates of Madrid Pirates.
Only Hu Lai reacted the fastest, but he still couldn't catch up. He could only watch the football slide past his toes, and finally rolled out of the bottom line...
Madrid Pirates fans were aroused by Hulay's kick.
Then he was frightened by Merry and Cerrados.
"Merry! Merry! Merry!"
Under the continuous shouts of the commentator Sanchez, Melli dribbled horizontally, passing one Madrid Pirates player, and another. Then, when everyone thought he was going to take a stance and shoot, he used his right foot to put the football away.
Pushed into the space at the far end of the Madrid Pirates penalty area.
Cerrados shot directly after receiving the ball. Although the angle was not large, the quality of the shot was very high.
Haywell fell to the ground and dived sideways, using his fingers to push the ball out of the far baseline.
"Havel! Wonderful save!"

There are so many scenes of you coming and going.
Two rival teams that are familiar with each other played a very exciting scene.
The pace of the game is fast, and of course mistakes are also increasing.
But that's okay.
The technical and tactical content of this kind of derby between mortal enemies is not the most important. What is important is the intensity and the fighting spirit.
Fans can completely accept that the two teams play rough and have simple tactics. But they absolutely cannot accept that everyone walks around the field in a civilized and casual manner.
The more exciting the game, the better.
But this has a side effect, that is... physical energy is consumed faster.
"Ah..." Parotti suddenly whispered on the sidelines, attracting the attention of assistant coach Valentin.
"What's wrong?"
"We fell into the rhythm of the king..." Parotti frowned as he looked at the heated game on the field. "When we were attacking, we should have slowed down and looked for opportunities and openings through passing back and forth.
But they forced us to play faster by pressing Kyrie, which increased our mistakes. Although they also made mistakes, they were still more adaptable to this fast-paced game than us..."
Valentin also reacted after hearing this: "And like this, Kyrie's physical fitness..."
"That's right, Kaili's physical energy is depleted faster than usual."
When the two of them were talking like this, Kaili on the field was "walking" - he was pacing slowly.
It is now the time for the Madrid Kings to attack, and Kyrie is not as active in returning to defense as he was in the first half, trying desperately to catch up.
He was at the front and walked back slowly.
This is of course not a sign of Carey trying to be lazy, but a sign of his lack of physical strength.
Parotti raised his wrist and looked at his watch. At the fifty-ninth minute of the game, it was not even an hour yet. Is Kyrie's physical fitness about to bottom out?
Although he didn't play a single minute in the weekend league, it seems that just resting for that league game will obviously not restore his physical fitness to its best condition.
"If Kyrie is replaced, our offense will definitely not be as smooth as it was in the first half." Valentine said next to him.
Paroti was speechless.
There was no talk of keeping Kyrie on the court, but there was no talk of replacing him either.
He was still hesitating and struggling.
Because whether it is replacing Kyrie or keeping Kyrie, it is necessary and makes sense.
The key is what will happen after you make a choice.
After replacing Kyrie, the Pirates' offense is not so sharp. The score is now 1:1. After the offense is not so sharp, does it mean that we have to accept a draw at home?
But by keeping Kyrie, the Pirates have one less player, making it increasingly difficult to defend. Even Hu Lai actively defended, and Kyrie became the Pirates player at the front.
This is indeed a somewhat tricky situation.
Parotti was infected by the atmosphere of the Derby before and unintentionally ignored the impact of the opponent's speed on his physical fitness. Because if Kyrie is a player who has participated in a season of games normally, then no matter how fast the opponent's pace is, it will not affect his physical fitness.
Consumes so quickly.
But Kyrie is an "injured soldier" who has been out for most of the season and unable to conduct systematic training.
He thought that Royvi's decision to let Osei fight hand-to-hand with Kyrie was the Madrid Kings' defensive strategy against Kyrie. Now that he thinks about it, perhaps this kind of physical exertion is the real measure to target Kyrie's weaknesses.
※※※
Although Parotti did not ask assistant coach Valentin to call up substitute center Ruiz from the bench, Kyrie himself realized on the court that he might not be able to stay on the court for long.
You know your own situation.
Even after a fifteen-minute break, Osei harassed him almost everywhere and consumed a lot of his physical energy.
In order not to lose the ball to him, he had to work hard and use 120% of his strength to fight against it.
All this caused his physical strength to drain away quickly, like turning a faucet to the maximum.
Kyrie never thought that he would be able to play the entire game in a game like the Champions League semi-finals after returning from injury, but he was not willing to be replaced after only one hour.
He turned his attention to the coaching bench.
Head coach Parotti and first assistant coach Valentin stood side by side. They covered their mouths and put their heads together, not knowing what they were talking about.
Kaili thought that 80% of this had something to do with him.
Maybe I'm debating whether I should replace myself...
※※※
Royvi withdrew his gaze from the coaching bench next door and noticed the whispers between Parotti and Valentine.
At the same time, I also noticed Kyrie's performance during this time on the court.
Then he showed a very hidden smile.
From the moment he knew that Parotti asked Carey to start, he knew that the Madrid Pirates' tactical arrangements and training during this period must have been formulated with Carey on the field.
So if Kyrie can be taken off the field early, the Pirates' offensive threat will naturally become smaller.
Now it looks like he will succeed.
As soon as Parotti replaces Kyrie, he will let the team suddenly exert its strength and catch the Pirates off guard!
He also raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The game time had just jumped to sixty minutes.
It's almost there, it seems that Parotti is still a little hesitant...
Then help him make this decision!
Royvi walked to the sidelines, whistled first, and then made gestures to signal the players to attack Kyrie when he got the ball. It didn't matter even if it was a foul this time, anyway, it was to make the Madrid Pirates realize that Kyrie had become them.
His biggest weakness on the court is that he can't do it without changing it.
