Chapter 566 Signs of Attack
Chapter five hundred and sixty-six signs of attack
The referee Sanchez Martinez blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
"At the end of the first half, the two sides entered the locker room after a very dull first half. As can be seen from the first half of the game, this game is very crucial and important for both sides. Game! Neither team dared to reveal flaws easily, they were very cautious in the first half!"
"This is actually normal. After all, this game is a game that both sides can't afford to lose, but this is not the case for the fans. What everyone wants to see is a wonderful game, not a game. A dreary game of zero-to-zero."
The commentators criticized the performance of the two sides in the first half from the commentary stand.
......
In the stands, Florentino's face was not very good-looking.
Real Madrid's performance like this really made Florentino's face dull.
The superstar policy-loving Real Madrid president turned to Mourinho to counter Barcelona's dominance in La Liga after a failed galactic warship period, and made unprecedented compromises in many aspects of the team.
For example he can now even accept that Real Madrid is a team that mainly plays on the counter-attack.
In 2010, Mourinho led Inter Milan to overthrow the mighty Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, and then led his team to the Champions League. For a time, Mourinho was named a god, and the anti-counter tactics were rejuvenated. The outside world regarded him as the only person who could challenge the Barcelona dynasty. Real Madrid, who was overwhelmed by Barcelona, quickly dug Mourinho, hoping that Mourinho could turn things around.
However, Mourinho's first season was unsuccessful, which, in Florentino's view, was due to the rise of Atletico Madrid.
Now La Liga has entered the era of the troika. In the past, Atletico Madrid, which Beverantino looked down on, is now a strong contender for the league title.
Real Madrid was even humiliated by Atletico Madrid 0-5, the worst defeat of Mourinho's coaching career so far.
And this season, Real Madrid finally adjusted its lineup and tactics slowly. Mourinho has created a tactical system based on counterattacks for Real Madrid, and up to now, Real Madrid is also able to occupy the top of the standings.
But from the first half of the game,
Florentino began to worry a little.
If this game is really zero to zero....Real Madrid will not only be likely to fall behind Atlético de Madrid, they will also be behind Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid have one game less, and even if the game is really tied, Barcelona will win by only two points ahead of them, and Atletico Madrid have one game less, which means they still have a chance to overtake Barcelona.
And what about Real Madrid?
They still have a chance to play Barcelona, but if they want to win the league, they will also have to look at Atletico Madrid while they win all of their next league games - in other words, if this game In the tie, whether Real Madrid can win the championship depends on the face of Atletico Madrid.
Florentino was upset, but he resisted the urge to enter the locker room.
He hopes that Real Madrid can play beautiful offensive football in this game, and then beat Atletico Madrid to prove to people that Real Madrid is still the boss of Madrid City, not the country bumpkins of Atlético Madrid.
He looked at Cerezo not far away.
In general, Cerezo is much easier to get along with than old Hill, but this guy has a shitty luck and found a head coach like Gao Bo.
Florentino looked back on the field.
He remembered the names of Mourinho and Gao Bo appeared in front of him at the same time when Mendes recommended him as a manager.
But Mourinho was the Champions League champion at the time, and Gao Bo was only the Champion of the Europa League.
Florentino chose Mourinho without hesitation.
Gao Bo went to Atlético de Madrid.
Florentino thought, if he had chosen Gao Bo...
......
There is no turning back.
Gao Bo is absolutely impossible to join Real Madrid.
Because he is the head coach of Atlético de Madrid.
Gao Bo will not have any opinion on Real Madrid, but as the head coach of Atletico Madrid, if he leaves Atletico Madrid and goes directly to Atletico Madrid's sworn enemy, the damage to fans can be imagined.
Gao Bo respects the culture of these footballs.
So even if he were to leave, Real Madrid would not be considered.
At this time in the locker room, Gao Bo praised the team's performance in the first half.
Although the fans watched drowsy, Gao Bo was satisfied with such a scene.
This shows that the rhythm is controlled by Atletico Madrid. Although there is no attack, the main axis of Atletico Madrid in this game is defense!
A zero-to-zero score is something most fans won't like.
But in fact, for many coaches, a zero-to-zero score is not a bad score.
There are even managers who believe that the perfect score in football is zero to zero - because it means neither team has made a mistake.
But Gao Bo disagreed. However, in this game, Atletico Madrid seems to be really aiming for a zero-to-zero game.
This is an absolutely acceptable result for high waves.
For Mourinho, he may have a hard time accepting this result.
In the second half, Real Madrid began to consciously strengthen the attack.
Marcelo's position starts with a signal.
In the first half, Ronaldo was very far to the side. This is a typical winger's way of playing. However, Ronaldo is not a typical winger. Kick the door.
And the more wing position can only be handed over to Marcelo.
This was one of the reasons why Coentrao later lost to Marcelo in the competition.
Marcelo's playing style can help Ronaldo's attack on the left flank very well.
In the 51st minute of the game, Ronaldo shot directly after receiving a pass from Marcelo on the left. Although the football went wide of the post, it seemed to sound the horn of Real Madrid's attack.
In the fifty-sixth minute, Real Madrid's offense made a comeback.
On Ronaldo's side again, he attracted the attention of the defense and gave Marcelo room to bottom.
After Marcelo bottomed, he passed the ball back to Ozil, who then passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who had adjusted his pace.
Ronaldo's shot from the penalty area line flew to the goal against the turf, and then hit the outside edge of the goal post and out of the baseline.
"Ronaldo!!!!!!"
Aduriz jumped up from his seat in shock.
Not to mention him, even the Atlético de Madrid fans exclaimed!
"Real Madrid stepped up the offensive in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot hit the post, Atletico Madrid should be careful!!!"
Matteo said aside.
Gao Bo frowned, then walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded Kante to pay attention to defensive replacements!
Gao Bo is not surprised that Real Madrid will press up to attack.
So he asked his team to defend first.
In such critical battles, defense comes first.
High risk brings high returns, but if he can safely win the league, Gao Bo should not take the risk.
And... If Real Madrid really presses up to attack, Atlético de Madrid will not be able to defend and counterattack!
Gao Bo looked at Real Madrid's backcourt, and the defensive system was still very complete.
It seems.. Real Madrid is still cautious enough now!
However, Gao Bo has already smelled Real Madrid's uncontrollable impulse from the middle.
Their players want to attack!
Look at the expression on Marcelo's face when he walked back, he turned back three times in one step!
Obviously, the Brazilian defender feels better in the frontcourt.
If Mourinho had not kept him on the sidelines, Marcelo would not have returned to the defence.
