Mourinho was not happy.

The problem his team now faces is a lack of flexibility when it comes to attacking.

Sometimes, Real Madrid have too many players who drop back deep to get the ball to assist in the attack, which means they will be under serious threat from a well-defended team.

With too many players dropping back, there are no players running around the opponent's back, and the game becomes very passive and boring. If there is no player in position, the ball will either be cleared by a big foot or will have to be kicked backwards at the back.

But the front press?

Now I saw two counter-attacking goals.

While saying that the kick is not good-looking.

Now it's a good game, and it's conceded!

It's the defense that worries.

Jose Mourinho had to build a convincing defensive formation at the defensive end, with Xavi Alonso in front of a back four.

Real Madrid usually play a 451 or 4141 formation when defending, with Kaka and Ronaldo dropping back to the midfield position, while Benzema usually stays in the front position.

Ideally, Mourinho would have designed a situation where Real Madrid would not press too hard when the front trident covers their own area and the ball is in the opposition half. There are fewer cases of pressing into the opponent's frontcourt, and he puts more emphasis on maintaining a defensive formation. And just now, Ramos Pepe's premise caused the opponent to score a goal in a speeding counterattack, which made Mourinho very angry.

If the player did everything he asked for, then he would have carried all the pots!

In fact, Mourinho's frontcourt pressing is completely different from Barcelona's famous seven-second counter-robbery, high-pressure and pressing tactics in the frontcourt.

Once the ball reached the halfway line, Kaka and Ronaldo retreated to the midfield to defend.

Alonso, for his part, made sure there wasn't too much space between the midfield and the defenders that could lead to a disconnect.

Kaka sometimes shows more defensive contributions than Cristiano Ronaldo, and even looks more like a 442 formation of Ronaldo and Benzema when he is off the ball.

In a 451 formation or a 4141 formation, the midfielders pass in their respective areas. Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka tore open gaps on either side, while ensuring that there were no gaps left in the half-court position, retaining a certain degree of pressing.

If the opposition regains possession for a long time, Alonso will return to midfield and form a tight five-man midfield formation. This style of play is played to the extreme, and it can successfully suppress the opponent to the point of almost suffocation.

When Alonso returned to midfield, the team remained tight in the second half, with Khedira and Di Maria running back and forth in the second half and Alonso making interceptions.

Real Madrid, who have been under Jose Mourinho for a few years, have sometimes had inconsistent defensive problems, and there are still frequent leaks of the ball.

For example, in the case of the goal, the mistakes made by the centre-backs are usually costly!

Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho themselves have suffered a lot.

When Real Madrid were defending, Ramos and Pepe would sometimes anticipate attacks from midfield, so they were out of position, which provided the opposition with a good chance to take advantage of the gaps.

The Asian on the other side seized the only two chances that could be said to come across, and scored two goals.

Mourinho kicked a water bottle at his feet aside and beckoned Faria to come over.

Faria had finished his instructions to Ramos and hurried over.

"That kid was the best player in Ligue 1 last year?"

Faria nodded.

"Why haven't our scouts reported it?" Mourinho said with a little displeasure.

Faria felt bitter in his heart, and was stunned for a moment before replying, "At that time, our technicians provided it, but... Although the chairman cares about the Chinese market, he doesn't want to see Chinese players!"

"What does he know!" Mourinho muttered dissatisfied, this kid is a perfect match for his counter-attacking flow! If he is under his hands, he will definitely have more room to play.

However, it is too late to say anything.

……

"Come back!"

After the restart, Real Madrid, whose wings were ineffective, began to make a fuss in the middle.

Ronaldo actually pulled it out and hit two long-range shots, one with his left and one foot, both of which hit the goal!

Ding Yue was also speechless, this kid's left and right feet are too balanced.

At this time, Gabi was a little overwhelmed, and Koke was pushed aside by Kakara, and he could only think of Ding Yue for help.

There is no shame in asking for help, for the sake of victory.

Ding Yue knew that Falcao's running ability was definitely not as good as his own, so he withdrew to the vicinity of the Gabi area to assist in defense. Fouled Ronaldo again, but fortunately, the action was not too big, and the referee had no intention of pulling out the cards.

Time passed, although Real Madrid also had four or five shots on goal, but they were all outside the penalty area, and soon came to the 37th minute of the first half.

Pepe didn't dare to rush past the halfway line, just now, when he jumped out of the defensive position, the back line was broken, and the huge gap left behind him was exploited by the opponent. It's an individual mistake, but if a team leaves space at the back of the midfield, it's a very difficult situation for defenders to deal with.

Alonso also had to retreat some protective defenders, which caused Atletico Madrid to go near the big penalty area, Real Madrid lost a playmaker, although Kaka's ability to share the ball is also very strong, but he is not doing this job!

There was no timely equaliser, and the mentality of the players on the pitch became a little impatient. Mourinho had to go to the sidelines and call on everyone to calm down, there is still time!

Mourinho has proven to be a shrewd reader of the game and can often turn things around in his own system, depending on the situation of his opponents and the resources available to his own team. Against Valencia, he played in a 424 formation, with Kaka, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain all playing in midfield to aboard Alonso. Despite a 3-3 draw due to flaws in the new formation, Mourinho has never been afraid to try a new formation.

The brave attempt showed that he is very confident and he is convinced that the good players at his command will allow him to easily overcome weaker opponents.

But now, how can you change it to break Simeone's damn 'bus'!

Jose Mourinho rejects other people's comments on his tactics, but when all 10 players are lined up in front of goal, the description 'bus' is the most apt.

Simeone is also happy with the results of his 'conservative' tactics, even if he gives the opponent 99% possession, getting three points is the last word!

The most important thing in football is the spectacle, but not everyone can win the championship.

In the absence of a superstar in every position, it is best to keep a low profile and stab someone at the right time.
