Chapter 551: Heroic Twilight
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cheers poured down from the stands at the Santiago Bernabeu and swept across the stadium.
But Capello, who was standing in front of the home team's coach's box, was not happy at all.
With his status and prestige today, holding on to a 0-0 score in the first half did not make him feel the slightest pride, even if he faced an invincible cold.
On the contrary, the trend of the first half made him a little incomprehensible and incomprehensible.
0-0, from beginning to end, Inter Milan was just trying, although it also launched a few very threatening offensives, but years of coaching experience told Capello that Gao Han did not do his best at all, and Inter Milan did not do his best to attack.
As high as 60 percent possession rate, amazing pass and receive success rate, let Inter Milan completely control the last half hour of the first half, Capello originally thought that Gao Han should launch a counterattack before the end of the first half, but the result was not.
It's not normal, it's so abnormal!
With Capello's knowledge of the high cold, he couldn't be satisfied with 0-0, but why not counterattack?
"Is he going to play in the second half?" Galbiati guessed.
When Inter counterattacked, this became a sword of Damocles, hanging over the head of Real Madrid.
Almost everyone was sure that the sword would fall, but when it would fall was a question.
"I thought it would be before the end of the first half, after all, we had a lot more physical exertion than them, and the last minute of the first half was very much in line with their habits, but it didn't. Capello was also puzzled.
The same is true of Galbiati.
It should be said that Inter Milan's overall strength advantage is obvious, and it also masters the control and rhythm of the game, Real Madrid can only take a defensive position, but to defend, you must first judge how the enemy will attack.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Adriano are both good at cutting inside, so in this game, Capello arranged a back three, firmly in front of the defense, and cut off the inside of Inter Milan's two wingers well.
Real Madrid also hoarded heavily in the middle, so Inter's entire attack down the middle did not threaten, and Yaya Toure had few chances in the first half other than that long-range strike in the eleventh minute.
It wasn't a great game, but it was dangerous.
Both teams have gathered a group of some of the best superstars in European football, and sometimes the slightest loophole can be caught by the opponent and attacked.
Capello couldn't figure it out for a while, "Let's see." ”
After speaking, he patted his assistant on the shoulder, and the two of them went into the players' tunnel one after the other.
But just as the two entered the players' tunnel and went straight to the home team's dressing room, they saw Mijatovic turn out of the elevator and immediately greeted them as soon as they saw them.
"Fabio. ”
Galbiati knew he was in trouble, "I'll go back and prepare first." ”
Capello nodded, sent his assistant back to the home dressing room, and then looked at Mijatovic.
This former player under him, who obeyed his life, has now become his immediate boss, and has begun to want to command him, and even has a faint sign of wanting to manipulate him.
"If you want to interfere with my formation and tactics, then I advise you, it's better to save it, I won't listen to anyone's opinions, including you, including the chairman. Capello spoke in a tough tone.
Mijatovic touched the nail as soon as they met, and he was a little depressed, but he also understood Capello's temper, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, Fabio, I didn't come to interfere with you, and I don't have the ability to do it." ”
Capello looked at the general manager with some surprise, as if to say, you know best.
"I just came to tell you that the first half was very good, the team was very solid, I think we should continue to play like this, not to mention that we can beat the opponent, at least it should not be a problem to hold on to the draw, at least I don't think Inter Milan can do anything about us. ”
Looking at Mijatovic's triumphant smile, Capello sighed in his heart, this person has long left the mind of the football back then, and now his head is full of club management, and even taking advantage of the opportunity to make money.
'Inter will definitely increase their attacking force in the second half, they slowed down in the first half and played with us, but it certainly won't be in the second half, so if we still play with the defensive tactics in the first half, we will be finished sooner or later. ”
was refuted by Capello so mercilessly, Mijatovic was a little embarrassed, and laughed, but he also seemed to have a little anger in his heart.
The reason why he doesn't like Capello is because the former manager still treats himself as a player.
You know, back then he was a player under Capello, but now he is the general manager of Real Madrid.
"Well, you're the head coach of the team, so it's up to you how you beat him. "But on behalf of the management, I would like to remind you that the representatives of the sponsors are sitting in the stands, and this game must not be lost!"
Mijatovic stared at Capello deeply for a few seconds before saying a word and leaving.
But what he meant, Capello heard clearly.
If he loses this game, he has to leave.
Capello looked at Mijatovic's back and sneered twice, he was not stupid.
As the manager, Capello also has his own sources of information, and he knows that Calderon and Mijatovic have reached a personal agreement with Schuster, and if Schuster's coach cannot manage Real Madrid next season, they will have to pay Schuster's 1.5 million euros privately.
As for why there was such an agreement, there are mixed rumors, some say it was because Schuster helped them run during the campaign, others say it was for other reasons, who knows?
But one thing Capello is very sure of is that he has to leave whether he wins or loses.
Looking at Mijatovic's back, Capello forced himself to turn his attention to the game.
He's a professional manager, and whatever the future holds, as long as he's still the manager of Real Madrid, he's going to have to help the team beat their opponents.
What's more, beating Inter Milan is what he has always wanted to do.
He has never forgotten the humiliation that Gao Han brought him last season.

"I paid special attention in the first half, I don't know if you noticed that Real Madrid's two full-backs often didn't drop back in time, especially Robert Carlos on the left, who often dribbled forward but didn't drop back in time. ”
In the away team's locker room, Gao Han was analyzing the situation in the first half to the players and laying out the tasks for the second half.
"He's about to be thirty-four, and he's no longer the world's No. 1 left-back, McConn, you have to keep an eye on him in the second half, and when you have the chance, you can decisively step forward, you know?" Gao Han commanded, pointing at McConn.
"Understood, Boss. McCone nodded solemnly.
Robert Carlos' problem is not only with Real Madrid, but also with the Brazilian national team.
In this year's World Cup in Germany, Carlos was a little blind to the French team, and when Zidane took a free kick, he was very lazy and bent down behind Henry to arrange his socks, and the unmarked Henry scored easily.
This conceded goal caused the Brazilian national team to lose the game and leave the World Cup, and Carlos was also besieged by Brazilian domestic fans, and some people even criticized him for playing match-fixing and was forced to leave the national team.
As for Real Madrid, Carlos also made many mistakes in La Liga this season, which led to Real Madrid's contract extension with him not being carried out for a long time, and it was reported that he would leave the Bernabeu at the end of this season.
But in this game, Capello continued to reuse him, just to use his experience.
Academy youngster Miguel Torres was also unsatisfactory, and Capello chose to continue with the more experienced Carlos against a team like Inter Milan.
But the heroes are twilight, whether it is Robert Carlos or Salgado, they are no longer as brave as they used to be, so it is not to blame Gao Han for attacking these two points.
"Everybody remembers, from the second half, as soon as the whistle blows, I want you to press up and break down the Real Madrid defense in one fell swoop, starting from the two wings, understand?"
"Understood!" the players responded in unison.
…………
…………
"The players from both teams are back on the pitch under the guidance of the referee. ”
"We saw that neither Real Madrid nor Inter Milan made any substitutions at half-time. ”
"This is Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello. ”
"And Inter Milan's head coach Gao Han. ”
When Gao Han walked out of the players' tunnel, there was a flood of boos throughout the Bernabeu Stadium.
"The Real Madrid fans are booing the cold like crazy, and he should be the manager who is most hated by the home fans, because his arrival always brings the fans the grief of defeat. ”
"I wonder if this game, in this sacred Bernabeu hall, will Capello's team repeat the mistakes of the previous team?"
For the boos from the Real Madrid fans, Gao Han has long been used to it.
When he was in charge of Atletico Madrid, the boos were louder than they are now, and even more outrageous than they are now, and even attacks on their buses.
All along, he saw the boos of his rival fans as an encouragement to himself.
Standing on the sidelines and looking at Capello, Gao Han turned to look at the court intently.
Players from both teams have entered the stadium, exchanged venues, set up positions, and the game is about to start.
Gao Han also prepared a skill card in the coaching system and put it into use at any time.
He had to launch a rush at the start of the second half and catch Real Madrid off guard.
This is called treating others the way they would be.
"After the two teams switched sides, the game was about to start. ”
"In the second half, it was Real Madrid who kicked off first. ”
Beep!
With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.
Van Nistelrooy kicked the ball to Raul and the game began. ”
"Real Madrid quickly returned to the midfield, and Inter Milan changed the tactical play of the first half and pressed hard. ”
"It looks like Gao Han is about to launch a rush attack. ”
Capello also noticed the change in Inter Milan on the sidelines and immediately rushed to the sidelines, shouting at the players to stay focused.
As soon as Inter Milan attacked, Real Madrid's test arrived.
But just as the Nerazzurri trident raced to the backline, Real Madrid quickly passed the ball away, and Emerson in the middle passed the ball to Diarra, but Yaya Toure quickly bullied the African compatriot.
Diarra was taken aback and quickly passed the ball to the left wing, hoping to deflect the opposition's pressing area.
Robert Carlos on the left flank stepped forward quickly to receive Diarra's pass, but just as he could stop the ball, the Inter right-back crossed the halfway line and approached him.
In an instant, the two Brazilian full-backs formed a one-on-one battle on the wings.
The entire Bernabeu erupted into a burst of exclamations.
