Chapter 1086 Look at my four-wheel drive and dual engine!
Real Madrid players were kicking back and forth.
Moving from the left to the right, Di Maria took the ball, retreated, and then passed it back to the central defender.
The ball was passed from the right back to the left and handed to Marcos Alonso on the left.
It turned out that Chelsea's defense adjusted very quickly, giving Real Madrid no time to react.
So, Marcos Alonso passed the ball back and handed it to Xavi Alonso for reorganization.
At this moment, Di Maria suddenly ran over sideways.
Toni Kroos immediately handed the ball over, and the Argentine stopped the ball sideways, rushed forward, and quickly passed the ball with his left foot.
Modric was on the right side of the top area of the arc and kept passing the ball into the penalty area.
Benzema blocked Terry with his body and knocked the ball back to the left of the penalty spot.
Ronaldo penetrated the penalty area at great speed and stopped Benzema's pass towards the baseline. However, Chelsea center defender Koulibaly reacted quickly and entangled Ronaldo in time, allowing the Portuguese to catch up with the ball.
Too close to the baseline and lost the angle of the shot.
As a last resort, Ronaldo reluctantly took a kick, but the ball was saved by Cech.
The Czech goalkeeper got up from the ground and quickly threw the ball to signal his teammates to start a fast break.
Chelsea's counterattack was fast, but Real Madrid's defense was also fast, forming a four-on-three situation at the front of the penalty area in time. In the end, Oscar's long shot went directly over the goal crossbar.
The Blues still failed to get a shot on target.
Mourinho applauded the team's performance vigorously from the sidelines and encouraged the players.
That's his strategy tonight.
After stabilizing the defense, seize the opportunity to counterattack decisively.
He believes that he will definitely have a chance to score!
…
Gao Shen stood in front of the coach's bench, with his hands folded across his chest, his left index finger on his lips, and he kept rubbing it back and forth.
It is now the 58th minute of the second half.
The score is still zero to zero.
As Gao Shen expected before the game, Mourinho adopted a defensive counterattack tactic, and although Real Madrid gained more possession of the ball, they were never able to find a way to effectively break through Chelsea's defense.
Mourinho is using the same method he used against Barcelona to deal with Real Madrid.
So so far, Real Madrid's ball possession rate exceeds 70%, but there are not many threatening attacks. On the contrary, Chelsea defends very firmly.
Even to a certain extent, Real Madrid's amazing ball possession advantage was forced out by Chelsea.
Unable to find an effective way to penetrate Chelsea's hinterland, coupled with the fear of Chelsea's counterattack, Real Madrid's players had to frequently move back and forth from the outside on the field, and the pace of the game was not fast.
During the halftime break, Gao Shen already mentioned to the players that they should strive to play at a fast pace, but it still had no effect.
It was only two days in total from Camp Nou to the Eden Stadium. The players were really exhausted, and generally they were not excited, especially Toni Kroos and Modric in the midfield. Tonight's performance
The performance is not very satisfactory.
Seeing the time passing by, Gao Shen could almost conclude that if the game continued to develop like this, the final result would either be zero to zero, or Real Madrid would be defeated by Chelsea's counterattack.
At present, it is unlikely to score Chelsea's goal.
Unless it's a personal flash from a star.
But Gao Shen was never willing to leave his fate to such illusory luck.
Just as he doesn't like gambling because he has never had any luck with gambling.
Thinking of this, Gao Shen turned his head and glanced at Mourinho, smiling secretly in his heart.
This old boy is playing Real Madrid like Barcelona.
But he seemed to have forgotten one thing.
Labor and management are not Guardiola!
Do you really think this is all we at Real Madrid have?
Let me put another one on it and it will become a four-wheel drive and dual engine!
…
"Paul, warm up, two minutes, hurry up!"
Following assistant coach Carlo's shout, Paul Pogba, who was sitting on the bench, immediately jumped up, took off his long-sleeved training jacket, and quickly walked out of the bench under the gaze of his teammates behind him.
Run to the warm-up area on the sidelines.
His move also attracted the attention of fans and Chelsea on the sidelines.
Mourinho also noticed Pogba warming up for the first time, and his face darkened.
But after hesitating for a moment, the Portuguese madman did not follow, but wanted to wait and see again.
Soon, Pogba finished warming up, ran back to the sidelines, and went straight to the head coach Gao Shen.
Gao Shen noticed him and waved to him to come closer.
The French midfielder leaned over obediently.
He was slightly taller than Gao Shen, so he leaned down slightly and listened to the head coach's arrangements.
"We faced a tough nut tonight, and it was a tough one, and now I need someone to help us open things up in the midfield, increase our speed, and at the same time pass the ball to the feet of our frontcourt players."
Pogba nodded, he understood what the coach meant.
"Chelsea will definitely try every possible means to stop us in the midfield, but we have no choice but to do this. If we cannot open up an offensive situation, the game will be over."
"I understand, boss." Pogba nodded.
"After you go up, dribble more and share more defensive pressure. I will let Modric cooperate with you. Your body has advantages. I believe you can do it." Gao Shen warned.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it."
Gao Shen patted Pogba on the shoulder, indicating that he could go over and make substitutions.
Soon, taking advantage of a dead ball, Real Madrid took the lead in making substitutions.
Pogba replaces Toni Kroos.
The German midfielder played two games in four days. It is understandable that he is in poor condition and consumes a lot of physical energy.
After Gao Shen hugged him, he indicated that he could go and have a good rest.
After Pogba came on the field, when he first touched the ball and made a beautiful stop, he pulled the ball and turned around, shook off Ramirez, and dribbled forward with the ball, but the subsequent pass was not handled well.
Couldn't pose a threat.
Chelsea quickly counterattacked, and the French midfielder also actively defended.
Gao Shen gave a thumbs up on the sidelines, indicating that he should continue and not be discouraged.
Pogba is a very smart player. Not only is he physically strong, has excellent strength confrontation, and has very delicate skills with his feet, but he is also very cunning in his movement and always catches the ball in the gaps.
After receiving the ball, Pogba also handles it in various ways. He is proficient in everything.
After he came on the field, Real Madrid's midfield, which was originally a stagnant place, began to come to life.
Mourinho also realized the danger and immediately made substitutions. Mikel came on and replaced Oscar.
This is another signal to strengthen the midfield defense.
Chelsea's tactics have also officially changed to four-three-three.
But after the adjustment, Chelsea's counterattack became even stronger.
Gao Shen also immediately made his second substitution adjustment, replacing Xavi Alonso with Casemiro.
At the same time, he also indicated that the two full-backs could be positioned further forward to widen Chelsea's defensive width.
Due to the poor overall performance of Real Madrid's starting midfielder tonight under Chelsea's high-pressure tactics, especially on the defensive end, coupled with the fact that Schurrle and Willian's counterattacks were very determined and fast, Real Madrid's
Neither of the two full-backs dared to press too much, which left the frontcourt winger in a situation where he was fighting alone.
But now, after Casemiro comes on the court, he can provide strong protection for the midfield and backfield, and the full-backs can press forward with confidence.
At the same time, Gao Shen also signaled Pogba to press forward more and participate more in the front attack.
At this time, seventy minutes had passed, and the score between the two sides was still zero to zero.
If after continuous substitutions and adjustments, the situation still fails to open up, then there will only be overtime or even a penalty shootout.
This is definitely not what Gao Shen wants to see.
Because Real Madrid has such an intensive schedule recently, it consumes a lot of physical energy.
Entering overtime is not a good thing for Real Madrid.
…
After Gao Shen replaced two players in a row, the midfielder was indeed revitalized.
But Mourinho is not a fuel-saving lamp, he also strengthened the team's midfield.
Real Madrid is different from Barcelona's lethargic back-and-forth safety ball in the midfield. Even if the speed of a sophisticated team is not fast, there are still a lot of back-and-forth moves, constantly pulling and mobilizing Chelsea's defense.
Through this combination of long and short passes, we have been working hard to try and create opportunities.
Players are also patiently mobilizing Chelsea's players through interposition and movement.
For example, this time in the 78th minute.
When Modric moved forward with the ball, Di Maria tried to run to the ribs without the ball and catch the ball between Terry, Mikel and Ashley Cole.
Veloa presses forward to open up the width of the defense.
Modric has played in the Premier League, so he is very aware of Chelsea's defensive intensity, so he did not pass the ball directly to Di Maria's feet because he knew that even if it was passed, Di Maria would cut inside, let alone
Is there a chance to kick? Even if it is kicked, it will be difficult to score a goal.
So, he chose to pass to the outside of Di Maria, forcing the Argentine to run to the outside to catch the ball, and at the same time shouted for him to pass it back to Arbeloa.
The tacit understanding between the players is that when Di Maria saw Modric's pass, he chased after him with confidence. After hearing Modric's call, he took two steps to the right, but there was no
The ball was passed to Arbeloa, but he passed it directly back to the feet of Varane.
He knew that if he passed the ball to Arbeloa, he still had to pass it back to the central defender.
Varane stopped the ball and took a step to the right.
Chelsea realized that Real Madrid had Di María and Arbeloa on the right, plus Modric, so the defense tilted directly towards this side.
After Varane took a step forward, he made an emergency stop, kicked back, changed direction, and kicked the ball to Ramos.
As soon as Ramos stopped the ball, he glanced ahead and saw Dzeko with his back to the direction of attack and pointing to his right side.
Ronaldo was close to the right sideline, raising his hand for the ball.
Ramos didn't think much and made a long pass to the left side of the frontcourt.
Ronaldo stopped the ball and saw Ivanovic pressing forward, but the Portuguese was waiting for him to come.
I only saw that Ronaldo did not wait for Ivanovic to arrive, suddenly started, dribbling the ball and cutting inside, trying to force a breakthrough from Ivanovic's side, but Ivanovic followed immediately.
Ronaldo is a right-footed player. When he cut in laterally, his right foot was not restricted and he immediately kicked a ground ball to the left side of the front edge of the penalty area.
Dzeko ran over, turned his back to the direction of the attack, blocked Koulibaly with his body, and at the same time stopped Ronaldo's pass to his left, which is to the left of the top of the arc.
A white figure rushed over, met Dzeko's pass, and shot without stopping the ball.
