Only halfway through the second half, the two-goal lead that we had managed to achieve was gone. Such a result is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the Real Madrid players!

What's even worse is that there are still 20 minutes left before the end of the game! For Real Madrid, who have been pressed by Tottenham and almost have no ability to fight back, this time is undoubtedly extremely fatal, because they have no means to deal with Tottenham's attack!

Glancing at the players sitting on the bench behind him, Heathfield couldn't help but sigh deeply. Of course, he knows that Carlos and the others are on the verge of physical strength, and the team has reached the point where they must make substitutions, but the German coach doesn't feel that he still has such a player in his hands - Guti runs too little and the defensive attitude is not good, and letting him replace Baptista is simply killing himself; Raul's form in the past two years is too bad, and the goal efficiency is extremely low, and letting him play well will make Real Madrid's attack completely dumb; the rest of the people are either young players who have not been tempered by many major competitions, or sapper players with a single role, and Heathfield does not expect them to have a brilliant performance at all!

Despite his success at Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, Heathfield is not very good at tuning, or rather not very fond of using young players. On this point, it can be seen from the fact that after he left these two clubs, both Dort and Bayern Munich have been in trouble due to the aging of the main squad.

The reason why young players such as De La Reid and Ramos have been used successively after coaching Real Madrid is because of Florentino's orders, as well as the state and physical fitness of superstars such as Ronaldo, it is difficult to ensure that they can play consistently throughout the season, and on the other hand, it is difficult for Real Madrid to rely on spending money to poach the pillars of other teams as in previous years - with more wealthy Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United, Lafayette's wealth is really not enough.

As for Siciño, who joined this summer. Although the Brazilian has performed well in the Confederations Cup and is still known as a successor to Cafu, Heathfield, who has actually approached the right-back, knows very well that the current Siciño simply does not meet his requirements!

Compared to Salgado, Ciciño's strengths are clear – he is young and energetic, has a strong desire to attack, has delicate footwork and has a good accuracy in crossing. But the problem is that his defensive ability is nowhere near as good as his offense, and if no one fills him up, it's a scarrier colander than Carlos. In addition, like most South American players from poor backgrounds, after becoming famous, Sicinho quickly became addicted to drunkenness, and his competitive state and physical condition plummeted, so it was naturally impossible to get Heathfield's favor!

In his previous life, Sicinho had not been able to take a place in the main force from the inexpensive Salgado under the care of his Brazilian countryman Luxemberg, let alone under Heathfield, who emphasized tactical discipline. In fact, if Sicinho had not been able to correct his drunken habits and loose training habits, the Cafu successor would not have been able to get many appearances at Heathfield!

That being said, with veterans like Carlos already running out of fitness, substitutions are already inevitable. In the end, with the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, Heathfield used up three substitutions in one go - he replaced Salgado and Roberto Carlos with Uruguayan teenager Diogo and Arbeloa, who was promoted from the second team, and replaced Ronaldo with Negredo, directly replacing all the "veterans" except Elguera and Graveson!

"George, could it be that Heathfield has decided to give up this game and is ready to take this opportunity to train the young players?" Seeing Heathfield's hand adjustment, the old Charlie, who didn't know these well-known young people very well, asked suspiciously, "It shouldn't be." Although there are still 20 minutes before the end of the game, if you change a few more midfielders or defenders and use the numerical advantage to strengthen the defense, then there is still a lot of hope to keep this score until the final whistle?"

"Charlie, don't forget, Heathfield is in charge of Real Madrid, which has some of the most discerning and demanding fans in the world. If he dares to do this, even if he finally helps Real Madrid to get a point, he will not end up with a good evaluation. In that case, then it is better to give it a go, so as not to end up" George immediately answered Old Charlie's doubts, "Also, Charlie, do you really think that this guy Heathfield will give up the game so easily? Look, the player who can make him play at this time must not be a mediocre talent!"

Reality soon proved George's point of view correct. Although Negredo has a significant gap with Ronaldo and others in terms of individual ability, these young players with more physical fitness and more active defense have injected much-needed vitality and defensive hardness into the dull Real Madrid, helping the Galaxy to get out of the embarrassing situation of being beaten by Tottenham in the first half of the offensive and defensive drills!

However, although Negredo and others worked extremely hard to help Real Madrid get out of the situation of being besieged by Tottenham, they had no way to bring a victory to the Galacticos - when Merck announced the end of the game, Tottenham finally won the game with a header from Gerrard and a curling kick from Arjen Robben to win the game 4-2!

Despite Tottenham's four-goal comeback, Real Madrid fans were not unhappy with their team or Heathfield's performance after the game – Real Madrid fans do have a penchant for winning and attacking football, but that doesn't mean they're all unreasonable fools. Playing against a top team like Tottenham, they are very satisfied to be able to play to this point!

What's more, although Real Madrid did not get points, it was not for nothing - the performance of young talents such as Ramos, De La Red, Negredo and Arbeloa in this game gave fans a glimpse of the hope of the Galaxy Battleship!

Although Ramos was bullied by Didier Drogba in this game and almost never had the upper hand in a one-on-one match, the tenacity of the young defender born in the Andalusian capital was admired by all Real Madrid fans!

You must know that Pavon, who was regarded as the standard-bearer of Florentino's "Zidane + Pavon" policy and was regarded by countless Real Madrid fans, lost confidence after a few blows. Ramos was able to work hard even though his defense was frequently overwhelmed by opponents, which made people feel that this little guy with extremely tenacious willpower might really be able to become a big deal!

It can be said that Real Madrid's biggest gain in this game is not that it once forced Tottenham to the brink of defeat, nor did it prove to people that the Galaxy Battleship is not weak enough to be strong in the middle, but has gained a group of young people who are enough to support Real Madrid's future backbone. If Florentino can be patient and give these young players enough time and trust, then in a few years, the glorious scene of the "Real Madrid Five Eagles" may be repeated in his tenure!
