Chapter 983 - Substitutions Needed


The Real Madrid players who entered the locker room were in a very low mood.

They thought that their performance in the first half was quite perfect.

The defense in the sports battle did not leave anything except for Aiello to find an arch for him to dive and dive to the top.

Empty time.

But under this almost perfect background, Aiello still took advantage of two set-piece opportunities to send the ball into the goal guarded by Casillas.

The result is really unacceptable Mourinho raised his head slightly and glanced at the players entering the locker room, and gave a soft smile.

As a psychology student, he could tell at a glance that the players had almost lost confidence in the game.

If it weren't for his superb self-adjustment ability, Aiello's direct free kick in stoppage time in the first half would have caused him to lose all confidence.

"What a weirdo in world football" Mourinho cursed secretly, and then took on the new role of psychological counselor.

If you want to become a top-ranked head coach in world football, in addition to having flexible tactics and forestry scheduling, you must also have a set of methods to solve the players' psychology.

Otherwise, if you don't solve the current situation, the second half of the game It will be in a desperate situation and it is not impossible to directly lose the opportunity to advance to the Champions League finals this season.

Mourinho shouted directly: "Cristiano Ronaldo" "Yeah" Cristiano Ronaldo was slightly stunned and raised his head in surprise.

Mourinho did not say anything irrelevant and said directly: "I allowed you to relax your vigilance on the defensive end in the second half, but your next task is quite heavy because we need your super personal ability to help the team equalize the score, or even "Go ahead" As soon as he finished speaking, Mourinho's right fist hit the palm of his left hand, making a snapping sound, which was particularly exciting in the luxurious locker room.

“Can it be done?”

Cristiano Ronaldo quickly replied: "Yes, I can and I guarantee to complete the task."

In fact, in his mind, he only likes offense, and defense is almost nowhere to be found in his dictionary.

But sometimes Cristiano Ronaldo has to compromise and accept a job he doesn't like doing for the sake of the overall good of the team.

Now head coach Mourinho takes the initiative to ask him to focus more on offense in the second half, and no fool would refuse.

Next, Mourinho gave key instructions on the defensive end and indicated that Xavi Alonso's position could be moved forward appropriately to increase the number of people attacking in the frontcourt.

The visiting team's locker room on the other side has a good atmosphere and a great rapport between the coach and the players.

While chewing gum mechanically, Ancelotti said: "Although the score of 2:1 in the away game is enough to guarantee us an advantage in the two-leg Champions League semi-finals, it will be much easier for us when we return to home, but I hope Everyone here, please don’t relax.

Real Madrid has never been an easy team to deal with.

They have many superstars, and they may not be able to score goals with their regular offensive methods, but you can’t guarantee that their superstars won’t shine occasionally, just like ours.

The same as Ai” There were some players who were a little neglectful, but after hearing Ancelotti's words, their attitudes changed.

The halftime break may last fifteen minutes for the fans, but for the players, it is less than ten minutes.

Therefore, the head coaches of both sides of the game gave a shortened version of their explanations in the locker room, trying to highlight the key points.

"Although there were three goals in the entire first half, there were not many wonderful shots because Real Madrid at home was too conservative and deployed a three-midfielder tactic.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria recovered Two defensive midfielders helped the defence, and a large part of the time saw Valencia surrounding Real Madrid's attack."

"But there is nothing we can do about it.

Ai's personal ability is too strong and he has many offensive scoring methods.

If there is not enough defense, I believe he will have more opportunities in the first half."

"Now Real Madrid is trailing Valencia 1:2 at home.

I believe they will definitely attack in the second half.

Otherwise, once the game ends with this score, Real Madrid will be 80% eliminated, so in the first half The situation will not be repeated in the second half.”

"In the first half of the game, the ball possession ratio between the two sides was seriously imbalanced.

Valencia's away ball possession ratio reached the highest at 78, accounting for almost 80%.

Is this choice of giving up the ball possession ratio really good?"

During the time when the two teams entered the locker room, both the commentators in the live commentary box and the commentators sitting in the TV broadcast room analyzed and commented on the 45-minute game in the first half.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the relatively empty stands of the Bernabeu Stadium were gradually filled with fans returning to buy food.

Players from both sides also came to the stadium from the player tunnel.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who is in Munich preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, is paying close attention to this Champions League semi-final at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Of course, Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal is also paying attention to the Champions League version of this closely watched Spanish El Clasico.

The winners of these two teams will enter the final, which is the potential opponent of Barcelona or Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.

In the crucial semi-finals, it is necessary to examine the opponent's overall strength and player status.

Likewise, Barcelona star Leo Messi is also paying attention to this game.

Aiello's Valencia defeated his Barcelona three times this season, and the losses in these three games directly caused Barcelona to almost miss the domestic league and lose the King's Cup championship.

For Messi, no matter whether Valencia or Real Madrid enters the final next, they are opponents that must be defeated, otherwise this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or winner will miss out.

Thinking about his rankings over the years, he is really crazy.

The second half of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Valencia at home was announced at the referee's whistle.

Real Madrid, who was lagging behind, finally showed the action that the fans in the stands wanted to see.

Xavi Alonso moved from the defensive midfielder position to the central midfielder position so that he can devote more experience to the offense and ensure the team's normal offensive operations.

In the first half, he used more long passes to assist, but the success rate of such passes was relatively low, and he might not succeed even once in a game.

With Xabi Alonso's position moving forward, Real Madrid's offense still has problems.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria are both attack-type players and have no understanding of organization.

So the camera showed Kaká and Ozil sitting on the bench:
