The second half of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals between Real Madrid and Valencia in the 2010-2011 season officially began.
Real Madrid played the game that the fans in the stands wanted to see, and they consciously strengthened their offense.
But as the offense moved forward, problems arose in their offensive organization.
Xavi Alonso's defense and long passes are very good, but his direct offensive organization in the midfield and frontcourt is not good enough.
Players with such talents are sitting on the bench.
Immediately, the on-site director showed the camera to Kaka and Ozil in front of Real Madrid's substitutes.
Kaká’s expression was a bit gloomy.
In order to participate in last year’s World Cup in South Africa, he concealed his injury and insisted on participating in Brazil’s World Cup games.
As a result, Real Madrid paid for all subsequent problems.
At the same time, he recovered from surgery.
The form plummeted, and the main position was replaced by Ozil, who was once considered to be bought as a substitute.
Moreover, Ozil has also shown good competitive form recently.
Kaká began to worry about whether head coach Mourinho would use tactics to adapt to the stronger Ozil in such critical games.
In fact, Mourinho is also struggling internally.
Although Kaká and Ozil are both attacking midfielders, their functions are different.
Kaka has a better scoring ability in the attacking midfielder position, while Ozil is the kind of person who organizes the offense in an orderly manner and can simplify complex offenses.
When the team fell behind, it was really difficult for Mourinho to decide who to substitute.
However, he covered his mouth and said to his assistant Faria: "Ask Kaka and Ozil to warm up together."
Half a minute later, the camera focused on Real Madrid's bench again.
Kaká and Ozil stood up from the bench at the same time and followed the fitness coach to the warm-up area.
Many commentators gave their own analysis after seeing this scene.
Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor analyzed: "Real Madrid at the beginning of the second half really gave us a bright feeling, moving forward more strongly, but they lack talent in offensive organization.
Xabi Alonso is a good choice, but Compared with this job, defense and scheduling are the tasks he is good at.
Kaka or Ozil are more suitable for organizing offense on the field."
Guest partner Andy Gray said: "Yes, if Real Madrid's offense wants to become more layered, it must be replaced with a pure offensive organizer.
Then the question becomes, who should be replaced?"
"According to Mourinho's coaching style, if nothing else happens, a defensive midfielder should be removed."
Martin Taylor looked at the data he had already prepared.
When Real Madrid was lagging behind, 83% of Mourinho's choices were to remove the defensive midfielder and add an offensive player.
The game continued on the field.
Real Madrid lacked authentic offensive organizers.
Apart from Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria relying on their personal abilities to find opportunities on the two wings, Real Madrid did not have very good offensive opportunities at all.
Of course, Real Madrid still created an excellent opportunity.
Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly dribbled horizontally from the left side of the attack to break through Azpilicueta and Cazorla and then shot a cold arrow 28 meters away from the goal.
The shooting effect was very high.
If Wang Xiaolei hadn't made a key save, the score would have become 2:2.
After this problem, Valencia's defense system consciously defended Cristiano Ronaldo with the intention of making a similar breakthrough.
This change worked well, but it was a pain for the Real Madrid players who desperately wanted to equalize the score.
Because if they want to reverse Valencia at home, they must first equalize the score, otherwise everything will be just empty talk.
Real Madrid were full of momentum in the second half, but after several consecutive attacks that failed to score, the Real Madrid players performed just as Mourinho worried.
Their confidence obviously declined, and they became hesitant to pass forward. .
Real Madrid now lacks a real offensive organizer.
However, if they want to maintain the quality of their offense, they must remove a defensive player.
But the problem is that Valencia is like a spring that is being squeezed.
No one knows what they will do.

When will it break out?
Mourinho shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The team with Ai Luo is really willful.
Whether you adopt an offensive strategy or a defensive strategy, you can pose a huge threat to the opponent.
There are many players with this kind of threat in Europe's top teams, but there are very few players who can put as much pressure on the opponent as Aiello.
Valencia leads Real Madrid 2:1 in the two-leg away game of the Champions League semi-finals.
It can be said that they have a huge advantage.
They performed very easily under the leadership of Ai Luo.
And having such a relaxed mentality will also help them perform better.
Especially the young players on the field, like James Rodriguez, Jordi Alba, and Cesar Azpilicueta, the three smallest players in the team.
Real Madrid did not dare to make too many defensive moves on the defensive end.
After all, Aiello had already scored two direct free kicks in the first half, and no one dared to guarantee that Aiello would not score another goal.
Ilovic's classic free-kick hat-trick in Serie A that year.
Considering that Aiello is a well-known set-piece master in today's world football, Real Madrid's defensive players did not dare to commit crimes against the wind.
Soon, Valencia, who was leading the score, regained the initiative on the court.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo was unhappy with Aiello's double free-kick, he had too little support up front.
As the game time passed, Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to defend, thereby increasing his own chances of stealing.
Kaká and Ozil, who had been warming up on the sidelines, were not called back by the assistant coach until the 70th minute of the game, and their warm-up time exceeded 20 minutes.
In the choice of Kaka and Ozil, Mourinho finally chose Kaka, who had proven himself in key games.
After hearing the coaching staff's arrangements, Ozil had to return to the bench depressed.
At this time, a fierce competition was going on on the field.
Cristiano Ronaldo once again received support from his teammates three minutes after he last had the ball.
He used his chest to gently remove the football passed by Xabi Alonso on the left near the sideline, and then prepared to accelerate.
Facing the young Azpilicueta, he poked the ball forward with his toes.
However, what he didn't expect was that Azpilicueta predicted accurately and kicked the ball out with his foot.
The football just fell to the feet of Cazorla, who came to help defend.
The latter passed the ball directly to James Rodriguez.
Valencia's transition from defense to offense was so fast that Real Madrid didn't even have time to commit a foul.
It wasn't until David Villa stopped the ball a little too much and was kicked to the ground by Khedira that they slowed down their counterattack
