Gao Shen has always stood calmly on the sidelines, sometimes with his hands in his pockets, sometimes directing the game.
When he saw Modric pass the ball to Di Maria on the right, he had a hunch that this ball could create a threat.
Because the huge right road is very empty.
In advanced predictions, Di Maria should try to dribble forward and cooperate with Carvajal.
What I didn't expect was that instead of dribbling the ball, Di Maria deliberately adjusted it.
Sometimes, senior players have to admire the genius of the players on the court, especially their sense of smell.
Di Maria's adjustment gave Benzema time to make his move.
The French center retreated, attracting Hummels' attention, and Ronaldo quickly penetrated from the left rib to the right side of the penalty area behind Hummels, just in front of Subotic.
After Di Maria's accurate long pass, the Portuguese took off in the penalty area. Subotic did not dare to make any moves. Otherwise, the Portuguese took advantage of the situation and, sorry, took a penalty kick.
But Subotic didn't make any moves, and the Portuguese easily stopped the ball and then took advantage of the situation and poked it.
The ball passed under Weidenfeller and entered the Dortmund goal behind him.
At that moment, the entire Bernabeu Stadium burst into crazy cheers from the fans.
Gao Shen also reacted at this moment. He jumped up with excitement, waved his hands vigorously, and shouted loudly for Ronaldo, applauding the Portuguese's goal.
This ball is indeed very exciting!
It's not just a transfer, it's Di Maria's adjustment.
With the Argentinian's strength, he definitely didn't need this move, but he just adjusted it in order to wait for Ronaldo to advance.
Sometimes, knowing whether to make this adjustment is really the key to measuring a player's level.
Passing the ball directly can still create a threat, but if the timing is wrong, Ronaldo will be slow and unable to form the best offensive opportunity.
The pass was slow, and Ronaldo overshot, which may have been offside, or it may have been difficult to stop the ball, which made it impossible to connect to the next shot, wasting the opportunity.
Therefore, like Di Maria, after a slight adjustment, the ball speed, landing point, and angle are all just right. Although this is a clever response from Ronaldo, Di Maria's long fax is very beautiful.
!
At this time, passing the ball in place is a basic skill, and the adjustment is the flash of genius.
"I've always said that this guy is not just a simple attacker!" Gao Shen praised with a smile.
If he were a pure attacker, he should have directly dribbled the ball forward and, with the cooperation of Carvajal, hit Dortmund's left wing. This could also pose a threat, but it might not be as clean and tidy as it is now.
Zidane kept nodding, "The pass just now was really wonderful."
Everyone was full of praise.
It can be said that Di Maria was really put to use under Gao Shen's command.
He is not only a wing attacker, he can also retreat to organize and support, and he can also advance with the ball. The long pass just now was also quite skillful. Such a player is simply a treasure.
Hierro felt the deepest.
He found that Gao Shen really liked to use this kind of all-around players.
Toni Kroos, Modric, Xavi Alonso, Benzema, Di Maria...
Gao Shen has all these versatile players.
"The comprehensiveness of technology determines the richness of tactical means."
This is something Gao Shen often says, and it's not too profound.
But he practiced this sentence very well.
Just now, Real Madrid really didn't play any exquisite coordination, just a simple pass, Cristiano Ronaldo's quick sprint, Di Maria's long pass...
This should become a memory that countless Real Madrid fans will talk about for many years to come.
"What should we do now? It's only twenty-four minutes." Zidane asked helplessly.
Many people are worried about whether Real Madrid can score two goals?
But now?
In less than half an hour, Real Madrid completed the task ahead of schedule.
What do you do with the remaining hour?
Gao Shen kept laughing cheerfully, "Klopp understands me, and I am also forced by the situation. There is no other way. We still have to play it slow. We have a weak foundation and cannot afford to squander."
Everyone burst into laughter.
After taking a two-goal lead, everyone's mood improved.
Real Madrid should really be stable now and there is no need to go wild.
As long as the score of 2-0 is maintained, then I'm sorry, Dortmund will go and fight Manchester City to the death!
At that time, as long as Real Madrid wins Porto in the away game, they will have the right to qualify.
"Will Klopp fight us hard?" Carlo asked cautiously.
"Yes, but we will wait for him to come and fight for his life." Gao Shen said with a smile.
It’s good to work hard.
People who work hard will not look forward and backward, and the loopholes behind them will be exposed. This is an opportunity.
Playing defensive counterattack is an advanced skill, and it is also Real Madrid's specialty.
"I guess Klopp is going to vomit blood in his heart. He hates you so much." Zidane laughed and scolded.
Gao Shen was really cunning tonight and didn't play his cards according to common sense at all.
Even in the opening attack just now, Real Madrid actually attacked from the right and defended from the left.
This is actually a sound tactic.
The turning point of the game was Dortmund's mistake.
Real Madrid relied on the players' personal abilities to seize this mistake and score a goal.
In a game, if you give Gao Shen an advantage, don't expect to make a comeback.
…
After Real Madrid took a two-goal lead, Dortmund finally began to wake up.
In fact, it should not have been after the second goal, but after Gundogan's yellow card.
Klopp must have woken up and discovered that Gundogan, Gotze and Sven Bender had all received yellow cards.
At this time, the game had just finished more than thirty minutes.
What does this mean?
Dortmund's midfield can't hold Real Madrid down.
When Royce and Grosskreuz were more on the wing and Wandowski was at the forefront, Dortmund's midfielder could not suppress Real Madrid's three midfielders and was frequently beaten.
.
There is another very important reason for this, which is Carvajal's forward penetration and Di Maria's retreat.
The double defensive midfielders and defense were frequently exposed to Real Madrid's fire.
So Klopp began to adjust.
After this adjustment, Dortmund gradually entered the rhythm of the game, and the game also entered a stalemate.
Real Madrid also began to find that it was difficult for them to launch a series of quick counterattacks like the one just now.
But in turn, Dortmund's pressing force in the midfield and frontcourt was also weak.
The first half ended with a score of 2-0, giving Real Madrid a temporary lead.
During the halftime break, Gao Shen reviewed and summarized the team's performance in the first half, praised the players' performance and tactical execution, and also made arrangements for the second half.
By now the game has started, Real Madrid's players have basically seen it clearly, and their sophisticated formations have shown results.
Especially the several targeted tactics in the first half.
The current 2-0 lead is the biggest reward for Real Madrid.
But the real test came at the start of the second half.
"Dortmund will definitely try to score goals and they will want to score an away goal."
According to the rules of the Champions League group stage, if Dortmund gets an away goal, then Real Madrid's two goals will be in vain.

"So, after the start of the second half, they will take the initiative to press out and attack. They will launch a wave of attacks. I am very sure."
Gao Shen has unusual confidence in his own judgment.
Judging from the current physical exertion of both sides, if Dortmund does not attack at the beginning of the second half, it is unlikely that there will be another chance in this game.
Unless Real Madrid makes a major mistake themselves, this is something no one can control and can only depend on luck.
As for Gao Shen's requirements for the team, they must pay attention to defending steadily in the second half and not allow Dortmund's attack to be effective.
"Their physical strength cannot last long, so my personal guess is that it should be ten minutes, or at most fifteen minutes."
"After the attack, they will slow down their attack and rhythm appropriately. They need to rest and take a breath."
The game lasts for ninety minutes. After a fast-paced attack, you often need to take a breath and recover some physical fitness.
Of course, different teams have different methods.
For example, Real Madrid can control the ball after attacking and use the possession to slow down the pace and take a proper rest.
The same is true for Barcelona.
But like Klopp's Dortmund and Simeone's Atletico Madrid, they lack this kind of ball control advantage.
Some people may wonder, then why don't they introduce more players with outstanding passing skills?
The answer is simple. Players who are good at controlling the ball may not be able to adapt to their high-intensity pressing tactics.
Those who want to have outstanding ball control skills and can adapt to their high-intensity tactics are often players with very outstanding abilities. Such players are often very expensive, and they cannot afford them or use them.
Just like Modric, Toni Kroos and Xavi Alonso, looking at European football, there are a few teams that have the luxury of letting these three midfielders appear at the same time and letting a midfielder like Verratti serve as a substitute.
?
With Yin Guayin and Benzema, Real Madrid's striker is double insurance.
This is the biggest difference between wealthy teams and non-rich teams.
They can't afford such people, so they can only compromise on a tactical level.
For example, Dortmund has Gundogan among its two midfielders.
Once Shinji Kagawa performed well, he was immediately poached by Manchester United without any discussion.
"Remember what I said before, we still follow our rhythm and tactics in the first half. If they advance, we will retreat. If they retreat, we will advance. We will never let them play at the rhythm they are most familiar with. Do you understand?
"
Gao Shen gave the final instructions.
The great leader’s military tactics are truly a treasure!
Real Madrid players all agreed in unison.
Xabi Alonso, Toni Kroos and Modric are the controllers of Real Madrid's ball possession and rhythm, and they are also the people who have communicated with each other many times before the game. All of them know how to deal with Dortmund.
Finally, Gao Shen mobilized.
"Winning this game will completely reverse the situation in the group stage. Maybe we won't be able to compete for the top spot in the group, but we will definitely qualify!"
"I said, I will take you to the Champions League knockout rounds next year!"
"I do what I say, and what you have to do is do your best to cooperate with me and implement my tactics!"
