Chapter 114 Real Madrid’s Championship Status Can No Longer Be Hidden, so They Won’t Hide It Anymore!

Kroos felt very tired playing today.

Not only because he had to face the close "care" of Essien and Li Ang all the time.

His playing characteristics were destined. Even if the opponent sent someone to defend him one-on-one, he could still use his passing skills to connect the team's operations well.

But Li Ang used his prediction and positioning countless times today to force him to give up the preferred passing route.

This made him very upset, and he even had the urge to grab Li Ang's collar and ask him if he was deliberately going against him.

It was too uncomfortable for an organizer to let him give up the best passing route in his eyes again and again, which was even more uncomfortable than directly snatching the ball from him!

Li Ang seemed to be unaware of it, and he seemed to enjoy it.

Although he did not always get in time on Kroos's forward passing route.

But every time he successfully selected a position to force Kroos to pass horizontally or split the side, Li Ang would smile comfortably.

This scumbag look made Kroos, the person involved, and even Schweinsteiger, the bystander, feel a little itchy.

But their anger and anxiety could not change the current situation of the game too much.

Because Real Madrid's current three-midfielder pressure defense tactic is really hard to force in.

Li Ang and Essien are not the kind of clumsy and tall intercepting midfielders. They are flexible, have a large sweep coverage area, and have good physical fitness.

They rely on their abundant physical fitness to play "shadow clone" with you. You can see them intercepting or assisting teammates on both sides of the midfield.

You think they should be tired after 10 to 20 minutes of interception, right?

In the end, they didn't. He ran more and looked more energetic than before!

Occasionally, you get rid of their pursuit and interception and enter the defensive hinterland of Real Madrid. Just when you want to breathe a sigh of relief, you look up and Alonso is blocking you!

This tactic is very rogue, but it is actually fair.

Because Li Ang and Essien are using their own physical energy to exchange for the stability of their own half-court defense.

If Bayern's players are not in a hurry, they can consume the physical energy of two more players, and then launch an efficient and fierce attack in the last 20 minutes of the game.

But the question is, can Bayern's players not be anxious now?

0-2 behind in the first half, this situation is really unacceptable to the Bayern players who were confident of winning before the game.

However, the experienced Heynckes is still calm at this time.

He is very dissatisfied with the current score on the field, but he also knows that the more at this time, the more he cannot mess up his tactical thinking.

So he first shouted twice on the sidelines to "stay calm", and then replaced Muller in the 39th minute of the first half.

Muller also brought his new tactical instructions and clearly conveyed them to every Bayern player on the field.

Schweinsteiger left the field a little disappointed, and Heynckes hugged his midfield general and comforted his emotions.

"We have reached the moment when we must sacrifice unity, Bastian (Schweinsteiger), I hope you can understand me."

Hai Shuai's comfort still worked. At least Schweinsteiger did not make any dissatisfaction. He waved his arms on the sidelines to signal Bayern fans to give the team more support.

Muller, who shouldered the tactical burden, also replaced Kroos with a serious face. Kroos retreated in front of Gustavo and became an organizing midfielder.

Bayern will change its style of play and speed up!

The Real Madrid players on the field all understood this, and they all looked at the sidelines at the same time, looking at Mourinho who also stood up and walked to the sidelines at this moment!

"Number four tactics! We play number four tactics!"

Mourinho made a simple "number four" gesture, and all the Real Madrid players on the field saw it clearly.

"Keep an eye on Muller! Keep an eye on him, Leon!"

Leon got the exact tactical instructions and nodded fiercely to Mourinho.

The No. 4 tactic is actually a tactical variation made by Mourinho on today's starting lineup before the game.

The formation will change from 4-2-3-1 to 4-4-2.

Among them, Di Maria on the striker will retreat to the midfield, and Ronaldo and Benzema will rush forward from the side, and the range of the return defense will at least reach the center line.

Essien and Alonso form a double defensive midfielder to continue to protect the back line. As for Li Ang.

He will have to make tactical exchanges with the opponent's threatening figures or organizational core.

It can be seen as a free man in the half court. In this set of tactical play, Mourinho's only requirement for Li Ang is to lock the target figure one-on-one.

The tactical inspiration naturally comes from the previous few games in which Li Ang stabilized his mentality and entangled Messi throughout the game.

It can also be seen from this that Mourinho is very vigilant about Muller's appearance at this moment.

In terms of the tone of the whole game, Real Madrid will not shrink too much in the half court and let Bayern calmly organize and press forward.

But now there are only a few minutes left until the end of the first half. The team leading by two goals would be a fool if they did not play it safe.

If the opponent really scores a goal, it is not uncommon for them to come back in the second half.

Mourinho's adjustments have generally won the praise of many commentators.

The commentator of Spain's Movistar agreed with Real Madrid's tactical adjustments at the moment, and repeatedly encouraged all Real Madrid players on the field, hoping that they could withstand the pressure until the halftime whistle.

Bayern began to frequently pass the ball on both wings.

Muller's running characteristics also played a powerful role at this time. His tendency to penetrate deeper into Real Madrid's defensive hinterland also linked the connection between his teammates on both wings and Gomez.

But just when he successfully helped Bayern slowly open up the situation on the offensive end, Li Ang, who was familiar with his playing style, chose to confront him directly!

Muller's physical confrontation ability is very average among the forwards in the four major leagues, but Li Ang can barely be regarded as first-class in this regard.

So once Li Ang gets physical, Muller's performance will naturally be limited.

But Muller didn't care much. He had comprehensive skills. In the past, when he encountered such a defensive method that was physically oppressive to his opponent, he could get rid of it by running over a large area.

Now he also thought and did so.

But when he found that no matter where he ran, Li Ang was chasing him, he immediately felt that big trouble was coming!

Heynckes glanced helplessly at the coaching seat next door.

As for it!

Use the defensive tactics of exchanging pieces against Muller?

Muller has such a high tactical threat?

Heynckes was a little confused. Mourinho would use Li Ang to restrict Robben and Ribery, and he could understand it.

Only Mourinho's emphasis on Muller was incomprehensible to Heynckes.

But what Heynckes didn't know was that Mourinho had been deeply impressed by Muller's playing style and running characteristics since the Champions League final in the 2009-10 season.

Not to mention that Muller's fame in the South Africa World Cup later made coaches and players all over the world know this German star.

In the past two seasons, Muller has scored 38 goals and made 25 assists in all competitions.

With such a dazzling performance, it is hard for Mourinho not to pay attention to Muller.

"This kid is like Li Ang. He can make his teammates around him play more comfortably when he is on the court. He can link the cooperation between teammates in different lines. Moreover, the more he plays in key games, the more fierce he will play!"

This is Mourinho's personal evaluation and summary of Muller at the tactical research meeting before the game.

So Mourinho's high-standard tactical restrictions on Muller are completely justified.

Even if Muller's performance this season is not as outstanding as in the previous two seasons.

But Mourinho still doesn't want to give him too much room to play.

Locking Muller, Robben and Ribery can only continue to fight with Real Madrid's defensive players on the wing.

If the two of them want to cut inside, Essien and Alonso's defensive interference is enough.

If it doesn't work, Di Maria can continue to retreat for a while!

Gomez could only forcefully complete the header under the double-team of Pepe and Ramos.

Bayern's combination of wing and center did not have more tactical changes. Although there was a threat, it still depended on luck.

To break the deadlock, Heynckes had to add at least one striker!

But by that time, Real Madrid would have more offensive opportunities in the half of Bayern that was slightly empty.

One thing after another, Mourinho had calculated all of Heynckes's backhands in his tactical deployment.

As for Li Ang's inability to lock down Muller?

Mourinho had never considered this at all.

And Li Ang, who was on the field at this time, also repaid Mourinho's absolute trust in him with his performance.

For a full five minutes.

After he was slightly familiar with Muller's playing style, he defended Muller for a full five minutes!

It just highlights the tenacity of "I can do nothing, but you can't do anything either"!

Without Li Ang's strong sweep on the defensive end, other Real Madrid defensive players did add a lot of defensive pressure.

But just as Li Ang trusted them 100%, they also stubbornly withstood Bayern's wave after wave of cross attacks!

Muller tried all ways to get rid of them during this period, even calling on teammates to pick and roll.

As a result, Li Ang cleverly created a blocking foul for Bayern.

It can only be said that smart people meet smart people. Muller has a trick, and Li Ang also has a way to solve it.

In the case of physical confrontation, speed and flexibility, Li Ang really locked Muller's face without any smile.

"Do you speak English?"

When he was upset, he heard Li Ang's harassing question and chose to keep silent.

"No? No way, I remember you can speak Italian, then can you speak a little Spanish?"

Leon began to bombard Mueller mentally, and Mueller gritted his teeth and walked away quickly, but Leon had no intention of letting Mueller go, and chased him again.

"Hey, I know you can speak English, Thomas, you have to understand me, after all, I don't want to treat you like this, it's our coach who told me to do this, I'm really a good person who's easy to get along with."

When Muller heard this, his head seemed to be two circles bigger.

He had never seen such a shameless person!

And just when he couldn't help but fight back in English, the referee's whistle finally sounded.

"Thank you, Mr. Referee!"

After exhaling, Muller thanked the referee in his heart, and then trotted back to the player's tunnel with his teammates.

At this time, thousands of Real Madrid fans at the scene were relieved to celebrate happily again, which attracted the dissatisfied boos of Bayern fans.

However, this did not affect the happy mood of Real Madrid fans at all.

Mourinho also returned to the player's tunnel with Karanka in a brisk pace.

After Li Ang, Ramos and Brother Long shook hands, they walked off the court slowly with laughter.

Commentators from various countries took advantage of the halftime break to analyze the tactical game between the two teams in the first half, and guessed the tactical response of the coaches of the two teams in the second half.

But if you ask which side is more optimistic, except for the German commentators, most of them support Real Madrid.

Even Duan Xuan, an old Bayern fan, can only say that he stands on the side of Li Ang and Real Madrid after his passion fades.

"Then, in the game with Li Ang, I must stand on Li Ang's side first, voluntarily, I am voluntary. If Li Ang and Real Madrid finally successfully enter the Champions League final, I think I will celebrate with my friends first, and then try to cheer for Li Ang at the scene of the final!"

Duan Xuan said not only his own voice during the intermission, but also the voices of countless Chinese fans at the moment.

No matter if they were fans of Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​or Milan.

At this moment, they all firmly support Li Ang, hoping that he can help Real Madrid win the two rounds of the game against Bayern and enter the Champions League final.

In the past, when fans were YYing in the forum, they might have the kind of speech that "between their own players and their favorite clubs, I support the club firmly".

But when this scene really happened in reality, when Li Ang really had the hope of helping Real Madrid enter the Champions League final.

Countless Bayern fans in China almost turned against him reluctantly.

They don't support Real Madrid, but they support Li Ang 100%.

They want to see the Chinese in this year's Champions League final!

Li Ang, who is resting in the locker room at this moment, actually understands how many people's expectations he carries on his shoulders.

Whether you like it or not, whether you are willing to accept such attention and carry such huge expectations, the fact is this.

Don't say that you want to be relaxed and cut off from this sense of responsibility and the domestic fan group.

That's unrealistic.

When Li Ang accepted commercial cooperation from domestic giants and received a lot of domestic endorsement fees, he had to bear such responsibilities.

Of course, he was willing to shoulder this burden.

Otherwise, why did he agree to join the national youth team as soon as he was called up?

Now he can't fight for the country, but Li Ang can still prove it with his own efforts.

Not only South Korean and Japanese players can gain a foothold in European football and stand on the stage of the Champions League final.

He Li Ang can do it too!

With more determination and confidence than the outside world expected, Li Ang stepped onto the Allianz Arena in Munich again before the start of the second half.

For this game, he and any player in the Real Madrid team will not make any reservations.

Even if they return to the La Liga after the game to face the national derby with Barcelona, ​​they have no ideological concerns.

Mourinho has made a general mobilization during the halftime break.

Only after they have survived this Champions League semi-final battle, they are qualified to look forward to the final.

If they are equalized or even reversed by Bayern with a 2-0 lead today, it will be an insult to their dignity and determination!

This game is a battle that they want to go all-in to the end without any reservations!

With such awareness, Real Madrid started to speed up and run at full speed from the beginning of the second half!

Li Ang still fought with Muller after the game resumed.

But this situation did not last long.

Because Heynckes made another substitution adjustment in the 56th minute of the second half.

Kroos was off the court, and Olic came on the court!

The coach played the last offensive trump card in his hand, and he left no room for maneuver.

He chose to start a desperate counterattack when there were still nearly 40 minutes in the game!

This is Heynckes, a rigorous character but also decisive and adventurous Heynckes!

Mourinho was indeed surprised when he saw Olic on the field, but then he also made new tactical adjustments.

Real Madrid changed its formation again, and Li Ang also let go of Muller's entanglement.

Because they also want to blow the horn of attack!

"4-3-3! Real Madrid changed its formation to 4-3-3! Mourinho is very bold! He will lead the team to fight Bayern at the Allianz Arena in Munich today! Real Madrid is not conservative at all, they will also use offensive methods to respond to Bayern's fierce forward pressure!"

Duan Xuan felt goose bumps all over his body.

This is the courage and tactical decisiveness that the coaches of both teams in the Champions League semi-finals should have!

And the neutral fans also sincerely applauded the coaches of both teams and the tough and brave players at this moment!

The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides quickly picked up.

Fierce fighting, active defense without giving up an inch of land, and rapid counterattacks with similar styles on both sides.

Bayern's style is unrestrained and tactical direct.

At this point, if they can't break into Real Madrid's hinterland, they will directly cross the ball to bomb. Olic and Muller can both grab the second point well, and there are two wingers on the periphery who can shoot from a distance.

From the ground to the sky, Bayern's all-round bombing has increased the pressure on Real Madrid's defense!

But now they only have one defensive midfielder left, which has become a running horse for Real Madrid's offensive players.

Ronaldo played from the 58th minute to the 64th minute of the second half.

In just six minutes, he received the pass from his teammates and played two very threatening single-rider breakthroughs!

Benzema's pulling task was completed quite well.

Pass the ball to Ronaldo and help Ronaldo open up the space for a one-on-one duel.

To be honest, it was because Neuer's performance was too eye-catching and his reaction was too outrageous, otherwise Ronaldo would have to score at least one more goal in these two single-rider breakthroughs!

Boateng was still very confident before the game and thought he could defend Ronaldo alone.

But now he doesn't have any such thoughts at all.

He sincerely called Gustavo to help him double-team Ronaldo.

The two teams took the risk of losing the ball at any time on the defensive end, and stepped up their efforts on the offensive end without wavering their determination.

Essien's physical fitness had some problems. He could still persist, but now he had to slow down.

Li Ang was fine.

After many exhausting games this season, his current physical fitness value has risen to 92.

To be honest, he may not be comparable to Nedved at his second peak, but he is also a top physical fitness monster in football.

His hard support has reduced a lot of burden for Alonso on both offense and defense.

Compared with the running speed of other players on the field, which slowed down slightly due to the extreme consumption of physical energy, Li Ang's figure still running all over the field at this moment seemed very "dazzling".

After the 70th minute of the second half, his physical reserve gradually became his advantage.

After all, when the athlete's physical fitness drops to a certain threshold, the technical movements will inevitably be deformed, leading to more mistakes.

Li Ang's passing technique makes fewer mistakes, which naturally provides Real Madrid with more advantages on both offense and defense.

After Bayern failed to attack for a long time, it was inevitable that the players had the psychological problem of impatience.

So in the 75th minute, Li Ang saw Long Ge decisively put down a shovel to grab the ball from Muller's feet, and he made a bold decision!

"Fabio!"

Li Ang shouted the name of Coentrao who went to get the ball first, and then started to move forward!

Coentrao saw that Li Ang still had the energy to push for a counterattack, and he didn't think much about it, and directly chose to send a long pass!

This made Alaba, who was preparing to intercept on the ground in Real Madrid's half, uncomfortable.

After judging the landing point of this long pass, Li Ang directly chose the way of unloading and advancing!

Starting from the top of the arc in the center circle of Real Madrid's half, Li Ang's running figure made tens of thousands of Bayern fans nervous instantly!

Benzema and Ronaldo, who were still physically fit on the Real Madrid side, quickly helped Li Ang to open up space for advancement.

Di Maria, who had participated in too many defensive retreats before, gritted his teeth and barely kept up with Li Ang's counterattack rhythm.

Relying on his better physical fitness than Gustavo, Li Ang changed direction and dribbled the ball again when he was close to Gustavo. He also squeezed his physical strength and burst out another sprint, barely avoiding Gustavo's pull.

Mourinho was already squatting on the sidelines with his fists clenched nervously, praying in his heart that the Real Madrid players who received the ball later must score this goal!

Heynckes also nervously yelled on the sidelines to let his players return to defense faster.

Li Ang did not hesitate too much. After wading past Gustavo, he chose to pass the ball immediately with a little soft feet.

The target was Ronaldo!

This was a not-too-fast ground pass!

After Badstuber had to follow Benzema to the right side of the penalty area, Li Ang's through ball rolled accurately in front of Ronaldo's path.

Neuer once again abandoned the goal and attacked!

Seeing that Boateng had been thrown away by Ronaldo and not daring to commit a foul in the penalty area, he could only choose to attack!

And this time, Ronaldo chose to go it alone!

The moment he touched the ball, he took a step sideways, and Ronaldo also jumped to avoid Neuer's falling tackle!

With his strong explosive ability, Ronaldo twisted his body at the last moment and completed the push shot!

Lahm, who was chasing back, was still half a meter away. After he threw himself out, he didn't tackle the ball, but slid into the goal!

Lahm closed his eyes in pain, he knew that everything was over.

At this moment, Ronaldo, who scored the goal that really killed the game, took off his jersey excitedly!

He roared and slid to celebrate passionately near Bayern's baseline!

Li Ang followed closely, and after sliding over, he roared and hugged Ronaldo fiercely!

3-0!

A real battle to decide the outcome!

Real Madrid's championship appearance can no longer be hidden, so they won't hide it anymore!
