Chapter 1021: Killer Move

Things turned out exactly as Mourinho had predicted.

In the 73rd minute, PSG made a second substitution.

However, this time the change was somewhat surprising, as Gao Han replaced Marcelo at left wing-back with Matuidi.

The Brazilian left-back was very active in this game, contributing a lot in attack, but as a full-back, sprinting back and forth, running back and forth, the physical consumption was huge, especially in the second half, after Neymar leaned closer to the middle, he almost single-handedly supported the left wing, and now the physical energy has been almost exhausted.

After Matuidi came on, Di Maria was redeployed to the left wing, but the team's backline also changed.

PSG began to try to play a back three, with Cesar Azpilicueta moved to the left, Thiago Silva in the middle, David Luiz to the right and Di Maria alone on the left.

Yaya Toure was pushed up in the midfield position, while Matuidi was dragged to the end, protecting Andrea Pirlo.

Although on the cards, this is a strengthening of the defense, but in reality, it is still necessary to continue to strengthen the offense.

Mourinho's eyes narrowed on the sidelines, "This is Gao Han's real killer move!"

Mourinho has also made a substitution in this game, just after Drogba came on the field, but it was mainly to strengthen the defense, and now after seeing Gao Han change the back three, it is even more exciting.

Paris Saint-Germain has holes in the backline, especially on the left side, Azpilicueta is a right-back, playing on the left is very uncomfortable in itself, if Real Madrid can do more on this side, there will be a chance.

Not only Mourinho thought of it, but Karanka and Rui Faria also saw it.

All it takes is one goal for Real Madrid to kill the game.

But could this be a trap deliberately left by Gao Han?

Just as Mourinho hesitated, Real Madrid on the pitch quickly seized an opportunity and played a counter-attack.

Diego Costa pulled to the right, the left side of Paris Saint-Germain, to receive a pass from the back, and after controlling the ball, he caught the attention of Cesar Azpilicueta and tried to pass it to Mesut Ozil, who was inserted in the back row.

But at the crucial moment, Matuidi returned to poke the ball away, ruining a Real Madrid counter-attack.

With the first time, it soon came again.

It was Diego Costa who went to the right to receive a pass from the back, but this time after winning the ball, he broke through Azpilicueta's defense directly along the right side and passed into the penalty area, but there were no Real Madrid players in the middle and at the back post, and missed a chance in vain.

In less than three minutes, both counter-attacks were played on the right flank, taking advantage of the big gap between Di Maria and Cesar Azpilicueta to play the role of Diego Costa, which made the PSG defence a little tight.

But Mourinho's face on the sidelines became more solemn.

"Don't press blindly, take care to keep the line tight. โ€

"Felipe, be careful to hold back and protect the defence. โ€

"And you, Essien, watch out for Di Maria on the left and don't let your guard down. โ€

Mourinho walked to the sidelines and shouted vigorously to alert the players on the pitch.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

'The players' minds have changed, and I'm afraid they're starting to discount the manager's instructions. โ€

In front of the away team's coach's box, Zidane heard Mourinho's shouting and said with a somewhat complicated expression.

He knows Mourinho's caution was right.

Paris Saint-Germain is better than Real Madrid in terms of the individual ability of the players and the overall offensive and defensive conversion speed of the team.

But Zidane himself is a professional footballer, and he knows very well the mentality of the players at this moment.

After struggling for more than an hour, they finally had a chance and saw the hope of scoring, are they willing to give up?

Some will continue to stick to Mourinho, but there will also be others who will start to loosen up and want to give it a try.

This is the human heart.

Thinking of this, Zidane couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gao Han again, his eyes full of admiration.

From the very beginning, Gao Han knew very well that Mourinho was very familiar with Drogba, and he must have been prepared for a long time, and the effect of using Drogba as a surprise soldier was not ideal, so he specially prepared a second move, changing the formation.

If you are familiar with Gao Han, you will know that he likes to arrange players to play in different positions in training, and he feels that it can not only improve the players' adaptability to different positions, but also promote the players to understand each other and empathize.

Cesar Azpilicueta has played at left wing-back and left centre-back on a number of occasions in training, and his performance has been very good, which is why Gao Han dared to use him as a left centre-back in this game, and his task is to prevent Diego Costaneche from hitting the goal.

As for the bottom crosses, Thiago Silva and David Luiz will focus on the middle and back post, and Matuidi will also return in time, and the reason why the French midfielder dragged it to the end was because Gao Han used it to target the opponent's counter-attack.

With Matuidi in the presence, Andrea Pirlo can continue to use his creativity and passing playmaker, while Yaya Toure can continue to apply pressure up front.

The left side was supposed to be Neymar's world, but the reason why Neymar was adducted and Di Maria came was because the Argentine was more active on the defensive end, and his defensive ability was good, and his speed was fast, and he could even return to defend if necessary.

Gao Han's substitution seems to be risky, but in fact, as long as it is a Paris Saint-Germain insider, it will only feel normal.

This is where PSG excels better than Real Madrid in terms of squad depth.

Regarding Zidane's words, Gao Han did not comment, but watched the game intently.

'Real Madrid's formation is starting to narrow and Jose Mourinho knows what we want and tells Di Maria and Suarez to try to pull it apart. โ€

After a pause, Gao Han turned his head sideways to look at the bench again, "Let Lucas warm up again and be ready to play at any time." โ€

Lucas Mora, the Brazilian wide attacker, is also a long-planned surprise soldier in the high cold.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

The race is starting to heat up.

The two world-famous coaches began to make-for-tat moves one after another, and the scene began to become more and more tense, so that even the crowd of fans who booed Mourinho in the Bernabeu stands forgot their purpose and were even more worried about the game.

PSG's change worked, Gao Han's substitutions also worked, and Real Madrid's defensive pressure began to increase, but Mourinho kept shouting at his players from the sidelines, reminding them that they did not dare to be careless.

Real Madrid didn't want their formation to be pulled apart, but there was no way, Di Maria and Suarez were on the two wings, and they had to be pulled away, which exposed the hidden dangers of Real Madrid's defense.

Especially at Paris Saint-Germain, central players such as Andrea Pirlo and Yaya Toure frequently move the ball from one side to the other, allowing Real Madrid's defence to be brought in and inevitably loosened.

This became even more evident when Gao Han replaced Suarez with Lucas Moura after the 80 minutes, and PSG began to create chances from both wings.

In the 82nd minute, Pirlo received a return pass from Lucas Moura and then passed it to Yaya Toure.

The Ivory Coast midfielder turned his back to the goal, took control of the ball, and then turned and played the ball to the left rib.

Di Maria quickly shook off Arbeloa, and after receiving the ball before everyone else, he accelerated past Essien and headed straight for the penalty area, leaving both Arbeloa and Essien behind.

Seeing that if he doesn't stop it, the opponent is about to enter the penalty area, especially considering that there is a Neymar in the middle who is ready to respond at any time, Felipe Melo, who rushed over quickly to help the defense, almost had time to hesitate and tackle directly from diagonally behind.

As a result, the ball was not tackled, but the man was tackled.

Di Maria fell outside the penalty area, rolled twice on the grass, hugged his legs tightly, and looked very pained, while Felipe Melo quickly got up from the ground, innocently raised his arms high, and signaled to the referee who ran over that he did not shovel him.

Players from both sides of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also quickly surrounded them.

Arbeloa was the first to rush towards Di Maria, apparently telling him not to play dead and get up, but Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva pushed Arbeloa away and signaled him not to threaten his team-mates.

The game lasted more than 80 minutes, and each other's emotions accumulated to the point where they were on the verge of exploding, and the conflict on the field was about to erupt.

On the sidelines, Mourinho was also shouting loudly, believing that it was an undoubted fake fall and that Di Maria should be given a yellow card, while the fans in the Bernabeu stands were all in support of Mourinho this time.

However, the referee still showed Felipe Melo a red card and awarded PSG a free-kick in front of the left rib, which caused him to endure a flood of boos from the Bernabeu stands.

"A tackle from behind, it's a red card. โ€

Judging from the slow-motion replay, Felipe Melo's red card is indeed not wronged. โ€

"We can see that Di Maria is very smart, he blocks Felipe Melo with his body, if he continues to dribble into the box, Drogba is in front, Neymar is ready to receive on the left side of the arc of the penalty area, Yaya Toure is ambushed on the right side of the top of the arc, Di Maria has too many options. โ€

"Don't forget that Di Maria is left-footed and Felipe Melo can't stop him from passing the ball in this situation. โ€

"It should be said that the Brazilian midfielder did deserve this red card, but he mainly took the blame for Arbeloa and Essien, especially Arbeloa, who was thrown away by Di Maria too quickly and he couldn't keep up with the Argentine's speed at all. โ€

"This free-kick position will also be a big test for Casillas, because PSG have a standout direct free-kick master, Andrea Pirlo. โ€

'There was still some confusion on the pitch and the referee showed a yellow card to Arbeloa and Thiago Silva for 50 boards each, obviously to calm both sides. โ€

"Okay, look at the free-kick again. โ€

"PSG was really Pirlo in charge. โ€

After joining Paris Saint-Germain, the Italian midfielder has played a very good form under Gao Han, which has a lot to do with the positioning that Gao Han has given him, and he even joked in an interview with the media not long ago that if he continues to play like this, he is expected to be able to fight again until the 2016 European Championship. โ€

'Andrea Pirlo stood alone at the penalty spot and looked at the direct free-kick this time. โ€nt
