Chapter 861: Enchanted
"Real Madrid made their first substitution of the game. ”
Mourinho finally couldn't help it and replaced the dragging midfielder Gago with Di Maria. ”
"The Argentine midfielder didn't play well in this game, and replacing him should be to further strengthen the team's attack. ”
After the substitution, Real Madrid's overall formation changed from the original 4312 to 4333 formation. ”
'Mesut Ozil still occupies the middle, with Di Maria on the left, Diego Costa in the middle and Higuain on the right. ”
'The other two players in midfield were a combination of Sneijder and Las Diarra, both of whom were positioned further down. ”
"It's not like Real Madrid hasn't played this kind of combination, it's mainly attack-oriented. ”
"It's clear that Mourinho is not content to lose and has not given up on the idea of winning. ”
"And after the goal lead, Manchester City began to consciously put away and play, the tempo was a little slower, and the play was more stable. ”
"This also made Real Madrid feel very depressed, because they couldn't grab possession, they couldn't control the tempo at all, and they could only be led by the nose by Manchester City. ”
……
'Let's look at City's attack this time. ”
"Sanchez on the right takes the ball and passes it to Benzema......"
"Albiol suddenly stepped up and made a successful tackle. ”
"From Real Madrid's counter-attack, Las Diarra rushed forward with the ball. ”
'It was handed to Sneijder, it was distributed to the left, and Di Maria got the ball. ”
'City were also very quick to come back and Mascherano was one-on-one with Di Maria on the wing. ”
'Beautiful, Mascherano made a beautiful break and Di Maria fell to the ground, but the referee didn't blow the whistle this time. ”
'There was no foul and City launched a quick counter-attack and handed it to Kaka. ”
'Kaka counter-attacked with the ball, he was very fast, and the players on both flanks were quick to follow. ”
Real Madrid's two centre-backs kept falling back, but Kaka was getting closer and closer, Sneijder was close to press, and Kaka suddenly made a sharp stop, shook off Sneijder, and entered the penalty area. ”
"Look at what to do with this kick of Kaka......"
"Distributed to the left, Gareth Bale is undefended, dangerous!"
"The ball is in!!!!!"
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"Another goal from Manchester City!"
Gareth Bale scored a brace. ”
'Oh my God, it was the eighty-first minute of the second half, just about ten minutes before the end of the game, and City scored two goals in the space of 10 minutes, and both goals were scored by substitute Gareth Bale. ”
"It's unbelievable. ”
Once again, Chill's on-the-spot play a key role, with Gareth Bale coming on with his speed and impact on full display, and Arbeloa's right flank was completely blown out by Gareth Bale. ”
'Real Madrid's right-back looked frustrated, and he was to blame for the goal he conceded, whether it was due to physical exertion, his lack of pace, or both, which prevented him from keeping up with Gareth Bale in time and allowing the Welshman to get a chance to kick in the box. ”
'It's incomprehensible that Gareth Bale got up and hit the back of the net with no one around him. ”
"Kaka's kick is very crucial, very clever and just right, so that Gareth Bale can get straight to the foot as soon as he comes up, and it can be said that Kaka accounts for at least half of the credit for this kick. ”
"It is worth mentioning that Gareth Bale's first goal just now also came from Kaka's cross. ”
The Brazilian superstar has gone from being a sharp knife to a second-tier assister since joining Manchester City, but it would be a mistake to think he is not a threat because of this. ”
"At the critical moment, Kaka's breakthrough with the ball is still very stylish. ”
'Jose Mourinho looked a little unhappy on the sidelines and he should make adjustments as soon as possible. ”
…………
…………
Mourinho does have a million reasons to be unhappy with the development of the situation on the pitch, but with the game so far, he really doesn't know what to do next.
This game was very crucial to the battle for the top spot in the group, so he made up his mind before the game to break the net with the alpine fish.
Because of this, he has always kept Di Maria as the winner, the purpose is to wait until Manchester City has been unable to attack for a long time, his emotions are a little out of control, and his physical consumption has reached a certain level, and then replace Di Maria, break through Manchester City's defense in one fell swoop, and steal a goal.
He has absolute confidence in his team's defence, and if he can steal a goal, then Manchester City will be dead in this game.
But what he didn't expect was that Gao Han made a move one step earlier than him.
Gareth Bale's arrival changed the situation on the pitch, and the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo also calmed Manchester City, especially the midfield led by Xavi Alonso, Luka Modric, David Silva and Kaka, who began to focus on control, and the focus of attack was handed over to the two wings.
In the face of Manchester City's adjustment, Real Madrid didn't have time to adapt, and Arbeloa didn't have time to adjust, but Gareth Bale burst behind him and scored a goal.
The first goal was crucial, arguably breaking the balance of power on the pitch, and since then, Manchester City have completely controlled everything on the pitch and Real Madrid have fallen into passivity.
Mourinho thought about giving it a go, so he replaced Di Maria to strengthen the team's attack, but at this time Manchester City put away and began to defend and counterattack.
Isn't this damn bastard always claiming to be a crazy attacker?
"What do we do now?" the assistant coach leaned in, "Arbeloa can't take it anymore. ”
Mourinho nodded slightly, he had already guessed.
He never had to worry about Arbeloa's performances on the pitch, and there was only one situation where the Real Madrid right-back would make a mistake like the second goal, and that was because of the physical exertion.
It's no surprise that he dealt with Cristiano Ronaldo for more than an hour, which would be difficult for any right-back in the world.
But now Gareth Bale is kicking more and more energetically, more and more vigorous, if he is not restricted, I am afraid there will be danger.
Jose Mourinho has led the team for many years, and he knows very well that a young player like Gareth Bale, once he is in form, is simply willing to give up everything and fight with you, and everyone has to be afraid.
If Arbeloa is replaced, who can be replaced?
Juan Fran?
Can he stop Gareth Bale?
Maybe you can also change a midfielder and move Las Diarra to the right, Mourinho has played this in the league, and Las Diarra has performed well, but in this way, the middle is afraid that it will be very good to stop Kaka and Benzema.
Thinking of this, Mourinho turned his head and glanced at the bench, he was also very helpless.
Just when Mourinho was entangled, the ball controlled by Manchester City was suddenly kicked directly out of the stadium, and the referee also blew the whistle for the first time and signaled to Real Madrid to enter the field on a stretcher.
Arbeloa has cramps!
…………
…………
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the dressing room angrily, sat in front of the closet, his mind full of anger, he couldn't understand why his boss, who had always supported him on weekdays, would be like this tonight?
Doesn't he know how important this game is to him?
That's Real Madrid, he needs a goal so badly!
No, he knew that he had told him a few days ago, and he said that he would do his best to support him, but now......
Could it be that this is what he calls support?
Cristiano Ronaldo felt that he could not understand how the boss, whom he had always respected and regarded as a mentor, could do this to him, and why would he betray him at such a time?
The Portuguese clutched his head in pain, he wanted to cry, but he couldn't.
He has long passed the age when he cried because of grievances.
The cries in the stadium came into the locker room one after another, light and intermittent.
How long it has been, Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't know.
It seems that as the sweat of his whole body gradually dries out, and as his body temperature gradually drops, his originally noisy brain gradually begins to think about things.
From the time he walked into the locker room until now, no one had come in.
In this sealed space, there was nothing but the intermittent movement of the court, and it seemed very deserted.
Cristiano Ronaldo never knew that the dressing room during the game was like this, and even if he was substituted before, he was more often on the bench and rarely came into the dressing room.
The commotion from outside piqued his curiosity, and he suddenly wondered what was going on outside the game.
Did Gareth Bale play well after that kid came on?
Did Real Madrid's defense break through?
Arbeloa has been ravaged by him for more than an hour and his fitness has long been exhausted, and if Gareth Bale's boy can't find a breakthrough from the left, the Welshman simply doesn't deserve to play this time.
Cristiano Ronaldo got up from his seat, he wanted to go out and have a look, but he hesitated.
His actions just now were indeed a little too much, and he didn't save face for the boss at all, so how can he face it when he goes out now?
He has never been a stupid person, after calming down, think about it again, he was indeed a little hot-headed just now, how can he do this to the boss? Not to mention when he is calm, even when he is angry, he is reprimanded by the boss, he will not have this kind of reaction, and may even apologize happily or something.
Looking back now, he felt as if he had just acted like he had gone crazy and was obsessed.
Could it be that this is the reason why the boss replaced me?
Cristiano Ronaldo took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the dressing room.
He remembers that Gao Han has coached Atletico Madrid to Inter Milan and now Manchester City, and told him more than once that football is a game of eleven people, a team battle, no matter whether you win or lose, everyone must be united.
Thinking of this, Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Along the players' tunnel at the City Stadium, the closer you get to the exit, the louder the pitch becomes.
The fans shouted very enthusiastically, and the atmosphere seemed extremely frenetic, and now it should be Manchester City who have taken the initiative on the field, and may even have taken the lead.
The Portuguese picked up his pace again and trotted out of the players' tunnel.
As soon as they burst out of the aisle, the cheers of the entire city stadium rushed in.
And just opposite him, on the pitch, Gareth Bale received a pass from David Silva behind him, suddenly accelerated and rushed through the middle of Juanfran and Las Diarra.
In an instant, the entire city stadium erupted in deafening exclamations again.
It was also at this time that Cristiano Ronaldo was surprised to notice the numbers on the scoreboard.
Two to zero!
