432. The same starting line
The halftime break ended and both sides returned to the court.
Everyone on the side of Crystal Palace looked cold, while Real Madrid superstars were talking and laughing, and they had a pleasant first half.
Mourinho guessed that like Wensheng's virtue, ten percent of the time, would still choose a conservative combat policy in the second half, so he kept reminding the team in the midfield that he needed to control the ball and played like in the first half. He never expected that Crystal Palace would press forward after the start of the second half, strengthening the pressing force in the front court.
Real Madrid has never encountered such a situation since they met Barcelona's Cup of del Rey. Mourinho is definitely not unfamiliar with Crystal Palace's move. In the Premier League, Crystal Palace's basic method is to control the backcourt in a ball state and to suppress the high position without the ball state.
The Magic Birds are quite confident in their team's defense, but whoever expected reality taught him a lesson.
Crystal Palace's strategy is very effective, at least Real Madrid's pass control in the backcourt is not very good.
In the 47th minute, Crystal Palace intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, Mkhitaryan made a diagonal pass to the right, Hao Junmin knocked back, Macho followed up in time forty-five crosses, Vardy surrounded the ball in front of the goal, and Ramos cleared the ball first and released it out of the baseline.
In the 50th minute, it was still the midfielder's interception, and Crystal Palace once again got a chance to counterattack on the spot. Mertens cut in and made a straight pass, Vardy succeeded in counterattacking offside, and the low shot from a small angle was resolved by Casillas.
The Crystal Palace's offensive was rising and falling, and Mourinho's defensive system, which he thought was good, was constantly in trouble under the pressure of Crystal Palace.
In the 52nd minute, Mkhitaryan broke through in the middle and pulled someone behind Alonso and received a yellow card. Larson's free kick 28 meters outside the penalty area was also quite threatening.
What are Real Madrid's forwards doing at this time?!
Busy offside!
Since Wen Sheng chose a more radical offensive mode, defense inevitably takes offside as an indispensable tactic. Real Madrid also got two or three counterattack opportunities, but Crystal Palace's defense line is quite skillful and successful.
The combination of Benatia and McCarthy has been the team's main partner since last season. They have a high understanding of each other. They often do offside, but they do it very smoothly today.
"I don't believe you didn't make any fucking mistakes!" Mourinho stared at the Crystal Palace's defense line fiercely and thought to himself.
If it were Wensheng, he would think so. Without that line of defense, he would be able to succeed in creating offside in the whole game.
Mourinho's tactical decision is to make a tough decision with Crystal Palace. He understands where his team's advantages lies. Doesn't Crystal Palace's crazy attack mean that Real Madrid will have many opportunities to play offensive and defensive nodes?!
With the wasted chances, Crystal Palace has unknowingly scored for nearly 20 minutes, but the score is still 0:2 and they have not scored.
Wen Sheng raised his wrist and looked at the watch. He was extremely anxious. He had a bad sign. Real Madrid gradually stabilized his position. First, their defense seemed to be getting better and better, and they were becoming more and more adaptable to the attack rhythm of Crystal Palace. Second, their counterattack seemed to be becoming more and more threatening, especially Ronaldo. Once, Ronaldo ran nearly forty meters, which almost made Crystal Palace completely cold. Third, Crystal Palace was playing more and more impatiently. Sometimes Benatia couldn't help but cross the half.
But Wensheng couldn't make any adjustments. Even if Crystal Palace is about to shed the last drop of blood, it must not leave the drop of blood in his own half, but should be Real Madrid's half.
Wen Sheng is afraid!
He was afraid that he would ask the team to recycle it, so he would expose the team's momentum that had almost been wiped out.
Soon he made another decision to replace him.
Van Dijk replaced Hao Junmin, then Kloze replaced Mertens, and the team changed to a 352 formation.
He has never played such a formation before, but he can no longer care about so many things. The team needs to score goals. Before the momentum is leaking, substitution adjustment is the best way to add fire to the team.
When 352 attacks, it should be called the 3232 formation, and the offense can give one more person in the frontcourt.
Wensheng's change of formation made Mourinho stunned. This kind of gameplay was crazy. He also had such a crazy life, but he definitely did not do such a crazy move like Wensheng with half an hour left.
After adjusting his tactics, Crystal Palace adapted quite well. Marjo used to play as a full-time forward in Napoli, and a full-time forward in the three-center-back formation. As for Larson's debut as a full-time forward, he is not unfamiliar with new positions and new tactics.
In the 68th minute, Crystal Palace's crazy attack finally achieved results. After Mkhitaryan passed the ball in the middle, he made two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with Marjo. He passed the back point from the penalty area line. Klose got rid of Pepe and headed the ball to the top. The veteran's running was impeccable, and the heading was also very good. He pushed a counter angle. Although Casillas's jumping power was amazing, there was a problem with his movement. He was too eager to protect the near corner, but there was a gap behind him. Klose was undoubtedly extremely smart and calculated Casillas's running.
Johnson hugged his son Ryan and kissed him. The fans around him jumped and jumped in the stands, shouting wildly, "Milo! Milo!"
Mourinho was in a good mood and he would not admit that he had made a mistake.
When Crystal Palace was attacking wildly, he should have his players give up the ball, but he didn't do this. Just like Crystal Palace in the late first half, the more he got the ball, the more mistakes he made. They lacked superb control ability in the high-pressure press at Crystal Palace. Although Alonso is a Spanish rhythm master, what he is good at is not slow-paced control, and there are many unreasonable aspects of passing the ball, not to mention that his teammates are not the group of teammates of the Spanish national team.
Big-eyed boy was running and panting. He was completely restricted by Kant today, and his ability to create opportunities was greatly reduced.
Wen Sheng clenched his fists and punched him to vent his joy.
The members of the coaching staff ran towards Wensheng and surrounded him, "We finally fucked in! We finally fucked in!"
Looking at the completely different Crystal Palace in the first and second half, the Bernabeu fans were mixed. The performance of Crystal Palace in the last game was really not very good. They thought the last game was an accident and Crystal Palace won a very lucky victory, but what about now?!
Crystal Palace tells the fans of Bernabeu that we have the ability to challenge you! We have the ability to be the protagonist here!
Ronaldo stood in the half of Crystal Palace, shook his head constantly, muttering something in his mouth. He was fucking dissatisfied with the team's defensive wife, "How can you do this?! Can you do this?!" His memory went back to two years ago, when he could score goals, but unfortunately the defense line would also lose the ball. The team was empty-handed after the season ended.
Chapter completed!
