Chapter 113: On the Battle for the Ball, Mourinho Wants to Say that Everyone Here Is a Playboy

"We're ahead! Xavi! Your shot was so damn beautiful!"

"Great job! Xavi! Great job, brothers!"

"Little Lion passed well!"

"Don't get too excited, stay calm, and continue to attack their counterattacks later, they will definitely press out!"

Amid the passionate hugs and excited noises of the crowd, Alonso was the first person to calm down from the state of blood rushing.

He first pinched Li Ang's neck, then pulled Ramos over, and told his teammates not to get too excited at this moment.

At this moment, the other Real Madrid players who wanted to celebrate for a while also reacted quickly.

This is Bayern's home court, Heynckes will not accept the situation of falling behind, and Bayern's players will not.

Real Madrid is just one goal ahead now, and everyone on the field has seen big scenes, so they naturally know that leading by one goal on the football field is not a safe score.

Well, unless the leading team is Juventus at the beginning of this century.

Even Mourinho, who has always been criticized by fans for his conservative style of play, would not arrange tactics to defend the half court at this time.

Do you really think Bayern has no effective means to break the bus?

Set-pieces, long-range shots, and small-scale strong breakthroughs, Bayern's offensive means are almost as rich as the current Real Madrid.

Mourinho is very confident in the new Real Madrid he has brought up, and he is absolutely not afraid of teams that park the bus.

So he was sure before the game that today's battle with Bayern could not be conservative.

Because Bayern's players are the same as Real Madrid, as long as the opponent dares to give them a chance, they will be unceremoniously aggressive and use all offensive means to greet them.

So you really can't celebrate too much after taking a 1-0 lead at Bayern's home.

The more this time, the more you have to clear your head and force yourself to calm down quickly.

The Real Madrid players on the field encouraged each other and trotted back to their own half.

Mourinho off the field also called Karanka to take the tactical book after a roar of celebration.

He didn't have to take the initiative, but he could try to "adjust" Bayern's current tactics from Heynckes' perspective.

If Heynckes thought the same as him, he could once again take a half-step lead in tactical targeting!

The tactical game had already begun before the game. In terms of the meticulousness of the preparation work, he didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he must have beaten Heynckes.

But when the situation changed many times during the game, Mourinho was confident that he could adapt and adjust better than any coach in the current football world!

As long as his backhand cards were enough and the core players on the field were stable, he was not afraid to make further games with anyone in the game.

He had such confidence when facing Ferguson, and now he has the same confidence when facing Heynckes!

"Michael, when the boss coached Chelsea, how would he usually make tactical adjustments in this situation?"

When Li Ang returned to his half-court position, he suddenly asked Essien.

Essien, who was still smiling, was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he only said one sentence to Li Ang.

"Fight! Dad will ask us, from forwards to defenders, everyone to continue fighting!"

Li Ang looked like he didn't expect Essien to say such a thing.

But he didn't have time to ask more questions at this time, because Bayern had quickly kicked the ball out and the game started again.

Heynckes also stood on the sidelines at this time. After quickly giving tactical instructions, Heynckes looked at every Bayern player on the field with a stern look.

There was no need for too many encouraging words. The Bayern players who received the information from Heynckes' eyes knew what to do.

After the game resumed, the frequency of Bayern's two-wing players' attacks on Real Madrid's defense line further accelerated.

Not only Robben and Ribery's inward offensive, Alaba and Lahm's crosses were actually quite threatening.

When they frequently delivered shells into Real Madrid's penalty area, Gomez's threat began to rise exponentially!

In just five minutes after Bayern launched a full-scale offensive, Gomez grabbed two chances to shoot under Pepe's defense!

Gomez of this era is not the substitute center forward of the German team who has been to many teams and has long lost his courage.

He is currently the real center forward of Bayern and the German national team, and one of the top centers in the world.

His strong body and 1.9 meters height allow him to always suppress his competitors in the penalty area.

Master Pepe actually performed well at this time, at least he didn't let Gomez completely squeeze out of his position.

But seeing Gomez, who was showing signs of bursting, Pepe had to call Ramos to help him pinch the German center forward.

Li Ang felt Gomez's super impact at close range.

He can't compare with Drogba, but under Drogba, he is indeed worthy of a top evaluation in football.

"Fortunately, the coach did not send Erwa to start today. If Erwa was in Kroos' position, Bayern's ability to disrupt the situation and grab two points in the penalty area would be too strong!"

Li Ang felt fortunate in his heart. The Erwa he was thinking of was naturally Thomas Muller, who was looking around anxiously on the Bayern bench at the moment.

Well, in recent years, fans have always commented that his skills are rough, he can do a little bit of this and that, but he is not a top-notch player in any aspect.

But when you say that their team will play against Bayern, and Bayern will start with Muller, they will be silent.

Li Ang likes Muller very much. Because he likes him, he knows Muller's characteristics better.

He doesn't want to play against Muller, or Kroos should be better restricted. Muller's running position is really too cunning!

From the left, middle and right lines of the three offensive zones to any corner in the penalty area, Muller may appear.

Muller can connect the team's offensive organization outside the penalty area, and can use the cover of the big center forward to complete the final blow in the penalty area.

This is a person who really uses his brain to play football and is good at playing to his strengths and avoiding weaknesses. In other words, he can't be called a ball idiot, but a ball oiler.

In contrast, Kroos, who has a slow speed and doesn't like to crowd into the penalty area, is simply an honest man on the court.

He always appears in Li Ang's sight, which makes Li Ang feel at ease, and he doesn't have to worry about him running into the penalty area to cause trouble.

However, the tactical problems that Li Ang can see, Mourinho and Heynckes have already seen it.

It is unrealistic to expect Heynckes to see the problem and not make changes.

The coach may take care of Kroos's emotions a little bit and choose to make substitutions during the halftime break.

Or, he will pull Kroos back to the midfield and backcourt to exchange positions with Schweinsteiger, and then replace Schweinsteiger with Muller.

But no matter how it changes, Muller's appearance is inevitable. As long as Heynckes wants to strengthen the offense, he must let Muller play.

It depends on the time of substitution.

The more Mourinho looks at the situation on the field, the more he believes in his judgment.

So he is temporarily relieved.

Before Heynckes makes substitutions, he can also not make major tactical adjustments, and wait until the halftime break to make more adequate tactical deployment.

However, temporary reminders are necessary.

"Michael! You retreat a little bit, and then let Li Ang press out, press out more! You have to move in the half, strangle! Grab the ball to support the attack!"

After shouting loudly, Mourinho saw Essien nod to indicate that he understood, and he finally felt much more at ease.

At this time, Real Madrid must find a way to strengthen the fighting strength in their own half, provided that Li Ang will make Robben's performance warm up.

But there is no way, looking at the overall situation of the two teams.

If Real Madrid wants to effectively counter Bayern's strong attack, it must play its own offensive rhythm and drive Bayern's players back to their half!

And now, no offensive method is more suitable for Real Madrid than stealing Bayern's ball in their own half and then counterattacking.

Li Ang had long noticed Mourinho's shouting to Essien. After Essien retreated and accurately conveyed the tactical instructions to him, he did not hesitate and began to advance his position.

Coentrao's single defense ability is still quite good. Even if the restriction on Robben will not be as effective as before when he was defending alone, there is still Brother Long beside him to fill in the position.

Ribery is the same.

It's just that Brother Long has changed from focusing on helping Arbeloa to defend Ribery to paying attention to defending on both sides.

Alonso can still withstand this defensive pressure. Li Ang and Essien can be said to have invested in the great cause of strangling without too much psychological burden.

Essien was on the right, Leon on the left, and the entire Real Madrid defensive three zones covered by the two of them in parallel were in complete chaos before a minute had passed!

No matter how Bayern transferred the ball, the ball holder would always face the pressure from one of the defensive midfielders, Essien and Leon.

Kroos and Schweinsteiger, who was advancing, were the worst.

As soon as they got the ball, they faced the double-teaming of Leon and Essien, and they really couldn't advance, so they could only quickly split up.

If you were to say that this kind of sweeping defensive midfielder, he would defend alone in the midfield and backcourt, running over a large area, and often had to take a break after sweeping for a while, right?

But these two waists of Real Madrid were exceptions. Not only was each responsible for only half of the midfield and backcourt defense zone, but they were also physically strong!

Three minutes later, the two of them had disrupted Bayern's offensive formation.

Ribery was relatively calm at this time, calling on his teammates to withstand the pressure, saying that when Leon and Essien's physical strength decreased, they could continue to organize offensives to pressure Real Madrid's defense.

As a result, five minutes later, Leon and Essien continued to break up the rhythm of Bayern's three offensive routes.

Ribery felt something was wrong.

In the sixth minute, Essien, who cooperated with Aveiroa to grab the ball from Alaba, launched a counterattack on the spot, just like Leon before!

Li Ang reacted quickly and moved forward to the middle, attracting many Bayern players who should have quickly retreated to the half court to defend.

For example, Lahm and Schweinsteiger.

But the moment Essien passed the ball, Li Ang lost his momentum to continue to move forward. He decisively turned his back to Bayern's defensive players and chose to knock the ball back with his back!

Lahm immediately felt bad and let go of Li Ang at the first time, yelling and reminding his teammates to return to defense while desperately chasing back!

But his awakening was too late.

Alonso met Li Ang's return pass, and he didn't need to switch to his right foot to pass again. He directly used his left foot to send another fast long pass for counterattack!

This time it was on the right!

Alonso was looking for Angel Di Maria who had already started in advance!

Before Alaba returned to defense, Di Maria started the sideline rush mode, unloaded Long Ge's long pass, and then smoothly killed all the way to Bayern's backcourt hinterland!

Alaba's speed of chasing back was very fast, but Di Maria was not slow either. He sprinted at full speed without hesitation, just not giving Alaba a chance to catch up!

However, just when almost all Bayern defenders thought that Di Maria would choose a lower bottom cross with lower difficulty, he started to dribble the ball and cut inside!

Boateng and Badstuber finally felt the crisis.

One of them had to look at Benzema and the other had to look at Ronaldo, so they could only let Gustavo, who was retreating with them, press out to intercept Di Maria.

That is, at the moment when Gustavo turned his head and pressed forward, Di Maria passed the ball.

After cutting inside, he could comfortably send a through pass with his foot.

When Ronaldo and Benzema advanced together, Di Maria's passing target would naturally give priority to Ronaldo.

So amid the anxious shouts and roars of countless Bayern fans at the scene, Ronaldo burst out with an amazing forward speed like a sharp sword, cut through Bayern's defense, swept past Boateng, and went straight to the football that fell into Bayern's penalty area!

Neuer was helpless. Badstuber's speed of chasing back was a bit slow. Now Boateng, the fastest, was also left behind by Ronaldo. He had to abandon the goal and attack!

Ronaldo could see Neuer pressing out with a fierce momentum in his peripheral vision.

He was confident that he could head the football before Neuer, but with Neuer in front and Boateng behind, it was hard to say whether he could head the ball accurately.

The paranoia in his heart made him want to take a chance in the adventure. If he won, he would be the center of attention, and the team could now expand its lead!

But at the moment he jumped, when he saw Benzema, who also rushed into the penalty area with his hands raised high and in a better position, his firm paranoid will softened.

An impeccable header ferry!

After attracting the defense of Bayern goalkeeper Neuer and Boateng, Ronaldo chose to pass the ball to the other side, passing it to Benzema who was in a better position and had already shaken off Badstuber!

Lyon's little overlord felt a warm current in his heart, and he knew that Luo Ge really took care of him.

A steady header that couldn't be more stable!

At the moment the ball crossed the line, Benzema first glanced at the sideline, and after confirming that the linesman did not raise any flags to indicate that the ball was offside, he excitedly ran towards Ronaldo who selflessly gave him the opportunity to score an empty goal!

And the other Real Madrid players who followed in the attack could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and roared and ran towards Bayern's bottom line area!

"C Ronaldo's forward run is very threatening! Neuer is out!!! C Ronaldo, headed the ball! Benzema hit the empty goal! The ball went in! The ball went in--!!! Not offside! Benzema was very smart in this ball. He chose to sprint at full speed at the last moment, and the linesman indicated that it was not offside!

2-0! This may be a score that the audience and we in the inner circle could not imagine before the game! Real Madrid took a 2-0 lead in Bayern's home stadium in just half an hour!!! Mourinho's on-the-spot tactical adjustment is simply amazing!"

Duan Xuan was completely excited, and he didn't know what words to use to praise Mourinho's temporary small adjustment.

Unexpectedly, Heynckes and countless fans made the decision not to consolidate the defense but to risk fighting for the ball and counterattack.

Mourinho successfully received the reward from the goddess of luck for the brave!

Zhang Lu actually didn't agree with Mourinho's adjustment before, because it was too risky.

This kind of risk can obviously be avoided. With the advantage of leading by one goal, Zhang Lu thought Mourinho could play more patiently.

But now, Coach Zhang can only laugh and no longer question Mourinho's tactical choice.

What else is there to say?

Mourinho made the right bet, so recognition and praise are enough!

Look at Mourinho who is now kneeling on the sidelines and roaring and punching again.

He has become the focus of the fans' attention besides the Real Madrid players!

On the other side, Heynckes has already called Muller and Olic with a serious face and asked them to warm up on the sidelines.

This is football.

Not only do we need the right tactics, but we also need a little more adventurous spirit and luck.

Can you say that Heynckes has used the wrong tactics so far?

Without looking at the current score on the field, just looking at the first half hour of the game, Bayern even took the absolute initiative on the offensive end.

If Gomez had shot a little more on target in those few times, Bayern might have tied the score by now.

But football is like this. There are too many cases where they were hit hard by the opponent's counterattacks when they were in a dominant position but could not score.

Real Madrid happens to be the top team in today's football world in counterattacks.

The BUFF of "If you can't attack for a long time, you will lose the city", Bayern really stacked it up in this game.

After the celebration, Real Madrid's momentum instantly reached its peak.

They don't have the tension before the game now, and all they have is the confidence to win!

At Bayern's home court, they can successfully restrain the Bundesliga overlord with their own tactics and get a nearly perfect start.

Why aren't they the final winners of this round of battles?

They have to win this game steadily. In the second round back at the Bernabeu, they have to suppress Bayern and advance to this year's Champions League final!

After the game resumed, Real Madrid's running and fighting in the midfield and backcourt became more active.

They will not give Bayern the opportunity to rewrite the score in the first half. Even if the physical consumption is further increased, they have to withstand Bayern's crazy attack in the last moment of the first half!

Li Ang and Essien are also running at full speed at this time, continuing to intercept and sweep on the left and right sides of the midfield and backcourt.

Their tireless running and confrontation made all Bayern's frontcourt players unable to let go of their hands and feet to display their offensive talents.

They seemed to be two steel pliers that tightly clamped Bayern's offensive machine forward!

The fragmented rhythm of the game has become the main tone on the court at this moment. Neutral fans are sore, and Bayern fans are even more angry!

Mourinho was also standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, looking at his two proud disciples with a smile.

In terms of the ability to compete for the ball and split the game, Mourinho wanted to say that it was not just Bayern.

Every team participating in the Champions League this year is a joy!
