Simeone was satisfied.

Whether in terms of momentum or form on the field, this half was at least not completely suppressed by Real Madrid at home.

Sometimes the score is not afraid of falling behind, as long as everyone's spirit is still there, hope is still there.

"Well done, boys!"

Simeone clapped himself a few times, giving the big guy a positive affirmation.

"I know it's going to be tough. Simeone said, "Mourinho will definitely be more crazy in the second half because this is his last meeting. ”

Everyone knows before the game the pressure on Real Madrid and Mourinho, and maybe this pressure will be a great motivation for them before the game.

But as the game goes on, the pressure becomes more and more of a mountain for them, and all Atletico Madrid have to wait for is when they start to mess around.

Koke, Ding Yue, Godin and other players with yellow cards were pulled over by Simeone one by one and told them to be careful in the second half.

……

……

When the whistle blew again in the second half, the two sides rested for 15 minutes and their stamina was once again close to its peak.

Due to the great difference between the two coaches in the tactical arrangement of the second half of the game, Atletico Madrid, who played away, retreated very deep from the beginning of the game, the famous players were almost no more than half the game, and the strikers also actively returned to the line to participate in the defense, so the process of the game was a half-court offensive and defensive situation from the beginning of the second half.

What infuriates Mourinho is that Atletico Madrid hardly press out to attack, and the occasional counter-attack will only rely on the individual ability of the strikers, and the players on the field rarely press forward, everything is premised on solid defense.

Faced with such a situation, Mourinho's expected attack is difficult to play with speed. If you want to play speed when switching from defense to attack, there are mainly one way, one is for the wide player to advance quickly with the ball, the other is to make a long pass, and the first is to rely on dribbling or cooperation from the road to force the advance.

The first wing advances. This is actually not difficult to understand, mainly relying on the full-back, the winger has to press the defender in front of the run, if the winger will run from the back all the way to the front, it must be the opponent's defense problem, not the conventional tactics. However, when you have a winger of the caliber of Cristiano Ronaldo, you can naturally fantasize about it.

In fact, Real Madrid's two wings, especially Marcelo's side, have extremely strong offensive ability.

Mourinho also expects him to play this role, but judging from the game that has been a little more than half-time, Marcelo is still far from this tactical requirement.

At the beginning of the second half, Marcelo's performance was not bad, and he had made some progress compared to his previous timid play, but on the offensive end, he dared to put on it more often after the opponent's defense had been in place and fell into a positional attack. At the critical moment of switching from defense to attack, Marcelo did not dare to boldly advance with the ball, and after winning the ball, he quickly passed it to his teammates around him with a few steps, and his confidence was still insufficient.

First, Ding Yue and Juanfran are really terrible, especially Ding Yue's mad dog-like scramble and physical strength, which makes Marcelo very jealous.

Another reason is that Ding Yue's switch from defense to offense is really terrible.

Therefore, Mourinho relied on the wings and could not open the situation.

Long passing.

Jose Mourinho is a big striker, this is a well-known "secret", no matter which team he is in, he wants the team to play fast attack, and the key to this is to have a fulcrum up front.

Whether it is Drogba or Milito, they both have strong bodies and ball control, teammates can quickly hit the ball to the front court in the form of long passes when switching from defense to attack, control the ball from the front court fulcrum, and then the wolves in the back row at high speed.

In this Real Madrid team, Benzema's ability to receive the first long pass in the front court is obviously much weaker, and there is no obvious advantage in physical confrontation, and it is difficult to form a fixed fulcrum tactic. Although he has a certain physical confrontation, the fulcrum effect is not even as good as Diego Costa. This also caused Real Madrid to be unable to use long passes to launch a fast attack, if you want to use long passes, you can only play behind the opponent's defenders, but in this game, Atletico Madrid's defensive line is very low and does not leave a gap behind him.

If you force a fast push, you either have to have a special player like Andres Iniesta, or you have to have a few players on the field who can pass quickly. Bulldozer players, obviously not in the players on the field at Real Madrid, although you can let Rogo do the job, but who will finish the kick?

When Ozil and Di Maria, who also has the ability to pass the ball quickly, they play a fast push, but Benzema, the team of this season, is obviously worse in terms of the ability to pass quickly with a kick, and Ozil has not yet formed a tacit understanding, so it is difficult to play a fast push.

The reason why Mourinho has always reused Di Maria is because Di Maria has the ability to advance with the ball in addition to quickly advancing when switching from defense to attack. But Mourinho has been very entangled in the selection of people in this position, and using Di Maria will help the attack to advance, but the defense often does not come back, so that the defense on Real Madrid's side is broken.

With others, the defense and protection are slightly better, but the help for offensive advancement is too small.

Therefore, if none of the above methods can be achieved, Real Madrid's attack can only be reduced to a positional battle, hoping that the master passer Mesut Ozil can make a flash of inspiration and make a fatal blow.

……

……

Soon.

Fifteen minutes of the second half passed like that.

What makes fans all over the world sad is that so far in the second half, the two sides have shot with two feet on goal, and they are both long-range shots with two feet.

For those fans who stayed up late to watch the game, it was obviously sorry for the coffee and milk tea and beer they bought.

"The duel between two conservative managers was really boring. ”

Director Zhang spoke.

Duan Xuan was a little embarrassed, he blew it too hard at first, what kind of duel of tacticians...... And so on and so forth.

"Let's look at the performance of the key players. ”

Yes, the only thing fans can expect from this kind of anxious scene is the performance of their team's superstars, and the reason why they can be called superstars is because they will always perform during this time period!

The first to stand up is Cristiano Ronaldo!

In the twentieth minute, Di Maria went all the way to near the baseline, and when he passed, the ball hit Juanfrán's foot and bounced off the border.

Corner kick.

Mesut Ozil stepped up to the corner, Pepe rushed in and Ramos stepped behind.

Mourinho frowned, then thought about it and looked at Ding Yue again, without shouting Ramos to run to the penalty area.

Ding Yue was at the top of the arc of the penalty area, waiting for the meeting.

Mesut Ozil's corner is delivered and Pepe leaps high in front.

Fake a shot!

Because the trajectory of the ball was still a little high, neither Pepe nor Godin, who was defending him, could touch the ball!

Ding Yuemao got down, but just saw a player with a white figure rushing behind Godin!

Jump high!

Head the ball hard!

An instinctive wave from Ertuis!

It's too close!

The ball goes into the net!

Real Madrid has scored!

The man landed, Ding Yue took a closer look, Cristiano Ronaldo!
