Chapter 1020: The First Move

On the evening of April 23, at the Bernabeu Stadium.

When the game entered the second half, the score was still 0-0, but the entire Bernabeu stadium was booed.

Every time Mourinho walked out of the home team's dugout, the Bernabeu fans greeted him with an overwhelming boo.

In the stands, many Real Madrid fans have played some extreme slogans, such as telling Mourinho to get out, and there is even a very conspicuous banner with the slogan that the Bernabeu welcomes Gao Han and rejects Mourinho.

The various actions of the home team's fans made Mourinho, who was sitting in the coach's box, look blue throughout the game, but he looked very stubborn, and he still went his own way, as if he regarded the fans in the stands as air.

Mourinho's ignorance undoubtedly further irritated the fans, and the boos came even more violently.

If Gao Han still had thoughts about Mourinho staying in Real Madrid before, then when he came to the Bernabeu, he already knew that even if he gave Mourinho two heavy championships in La Liga and the Champions League now, it is impossible for him to stay in Real Madrid.

Leaving school has become a must for Real Madrid this summer.

Coming to today's situation, Gao Han is quite embarrassed, and it is difficult to tell what is going on.

It's like a couple, the reason why they will go from love to broken divorce is definitely not a one-sided problem, it must be a problem for both parties, and the same is true for Real Madrid and Mourinho now.

They are already incompatible, and even if Real Madrid played well in this game, the fans still can't tolerate Mourinho and his team, on the grounds that Real Madrid are playing too conservatively at home.

From the first minute of the game, Jose Mourinho's side cowered in their own half, giving up possession and threatening PSG only on the counter-attack, with Diego Costa and Mesut Ozil the only two players roaming up front, with James Rodriguez on the bench by Mourinho.

This undoubtedly represents a very strong signal that Mourinho does not want to use the Colombian midfielder at all.

The cost of a total retreat was also very clear, with Paris Saint-Germain having more than 70 per cent possession in the first half and Real Madrid having just over 20 per cent possession, spending most of the game in Real Madrid's half, which was definitely quite embarrassing.

But Real Madrid held on in the end.

There was a mix of performances from the backline and midfielders, as well as the solid play of goalkeeper Iker Casillas, while Diego Costa and Mesut Ozil were not without a threat to PSG's goal, but neither side was able to capitalise on their chances.

It's been almost an hour, and the score is still 0-0.

In the past hour or so, Real Madrid have limited PSG's attack through tight defense, not only in midfield and at the back, but even Diego Costa in the front line has been very actively involved in pressing up front.

The most flexible player in the entire Real Madrid squad is Mesut Ozil, who has always been out of Andrea Pirlo's defensive zone and has become a drifting spot for Real Madrid up front, feeding the counter-attacks of Diego Costa up front.

In order to stabilize the defense, Mourinho did not deploy the more attacking CoentrΓ£o and Carvajal on the wings in this game, but started Kolarov and Arbeloa to ensure that the team's central midfield was monolithic.

Diego Costa's pressing up front did cause PSG a lot of problems, and there were a few embarrassing flashes of embarrassment for Thiago Silva and David Luiz in the game, but overall they were not sharp and lacked direct threats to the goal.

This has something to do with his solitary strength in the front court.

"This game reminds me of the home game against Barcelona in the season when he was in charge of Real Madrid. ”

Zidane, who was standing beside Gao Han, frowned and said with a bitter face.

He is a famous legend of Real Madrid, but now he is the assistant coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Gao Han's assistant, and out of work ethic, he must do everything in his power to help Gao Han and Paris Saint-Germain beat Real Madrid.

It was a game that was more or less like it is now, Barcelona had an overwhelming advantage but were slow to score, and shortly after the start of the second half, Barcelona took advantage of a foul by Albiol to get a precious penalty opportunity, Messi calmly took the penalty, and Albiol was also sent off with a red card. ”

'With more than half an hour less than one man to his opponent, he managed to hold on and equalised with a counter-attack at the last minute, so I thought he was a tough guy. ”

At this point, Zidane turned his head and glanced at Mourinho, his eyes full of appreciation and admiration.

As far as the hardness of life is concerned, Mourinho deserves it.

"How can there be any such thing as a hard life in the world?" Gao Han shook his head and smiled.

"I know and watch the game you mentioned, but Barcelona's problem is that they don't have enough attacking means, Ibrahimovic is out with injury, he has lost a dominant high point in the box, and Mourinho's defense has been able to play. ”

After Zidane listened, he pondered again and nodded to admit that this was indeed the case.

"But one thing you are right about is that although I don't agree with Mourinho's values and his football philosophy, I have to admit that he is definitely an admirable opponent and a deservedly top manager. ”

Gao Han stretched out his right hand and pointed to the stands at the Bernabeu, "Think about it, under such an environment and pressure, he still dares to make such a decision, especially if he can make this group of players with different minds on the field willing to listen to him and work for him, it is not something that ordinary people can do." ”

Real Madrid fights in the dressing room, it's a well-known thing.

Judging from the performance of this game, no matter what Mourinho did, at least he did one thing very well, that is, he adjusted the competitiveness of the whole team, so that all the players on the field unified their thinking and resolutely executed according to his plan.

Perhaps, this is the so-called last stand.

"You say, if we retreat appropriately, will Real Madrid take advantage of the situation?" Zidane asked with concern.

Gao Han shook his head, "No. ”

"Why?"

"If it were another manager, sitting in Mourinho's current position, maybe he would have taken risks, but Mourinho won't, he has always known what he wants, and he will only defend this game and will not give us any chances easily, let alone press out. ”

Zidane thought about it, and also felt that Gao Han made a lot of sense, Mourinho is indeed this kind of character.

The knockout round of the Champions League is a two-legged match, and to put it bluntly, in addition to the gladiatorial battles on the pitch, there is also the wits of the manager on the sidelines, guessing each other's minds.

In this way, Gao Han and Mourinho have been fighting for many years, but they have guessed each other's thoughts very well.

"So what do we do now?" Zidane asked with concern.

Gao Han spread his hands and said with a smile: "Since all the cards have been guessed by the other party, the strange soldier is no longer a strange soldier, let Drogba warm up, let's play it early." ”

…………

…………

"Drogba went to warm up!"

The visitors' every move was quickly picked up by Karanka in the home team's dugout and immediately reported to Mourinho.

The Portuguese looked up and looked at the time on the scoreboard, more than fifty-seven minutes.

"It's a bit early. Mourinho muttered to himself.

"What?" Karanka didn't hear clearly.

Mourinho shook his head and didn't repeat it a second time because he didn't think it was necessary.

The whole game was expected from the beginning, he was sure that Gao Han would not go to Drogba to attack at the beginning, he was also sure that Gao Han would give priority to possession, and he was even more sure that Gao Han would use Drogba at a critical moment in the second half.

And the truth is, he guessed it all.

For Drogba, Mourinho was also prepared, but he didn't expect it to come a little earlier.

According to his original plan, it would be 70 minutes at the earliest, when Real Madrid's central midfield was exhausted by Paris Saint-Germain's attacking players, and Drogba came on to work wonders.

He had even expected that Alpine would bring Lucas Moura on to play on the Brazilian's attacking ability on the right.

Unexpectedly, Drogba is on it now, which is a bit surprising to him.

"What's wrong?" asked Karanka with concern.

Mourinho shook his head, "It's nothing, just wondering, who will Drogba replace?"

Substitutions are often the most representative of the manager's willingness to adjust, not only the players on the pitch, but also the coaches on the sidelines, wanting to know who Gao Han will replace with Drogba.

If you follow Gao Han's habit in the past season, it should be to replace Suarez, and the team has also reorganized another set of playing styles around Drogba, I wonder if Gao Han will follow the convention this time?

Just as Mourinho was waiting, in the 61st minute, taking advantage of a dead-goal opportunity, Paris Saint-Germain finally made the first substitution decision of the game, replacing Aubameyang with Drogba.

The substitution was a bit of a surprise for Mourinho and his assistants.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is one of PSG's most important scorers this season, and replacing him at this time is not weakening his own scoring ability?

But soon, Mourinho guessed what Gao Han meant.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's best game is speed and movement, and he needs space to play to his speed advantage, but with Real Madrid defending intensively, the Gabon international is not much of a threat in that regard.

In contrast, keeping Suarez, with the technical skills of the Uruguayan striker, believes that he can play a better role in Real Madrid's strict defense, so Gao Han will replace Aubameyang with Drogba.

With the arrival of Didier Drogba and the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, PSG were quick to make adjustments.

Didier Drogba was at the front, Suarez was on the right, Neymar was closer to the middle, Marcelo on the left pressed hard, Di Maria in the middle was in front, Yaya Toure and Pirlo were at the end, and the attacking combination of the whole front court was a bit like a return to last season.

Could this be Gao Han's trick?

Mourinho's brow furrowed, he didn't think it was that simple.

If it is just such a change, it is difficult to pose a threat to Real Madrid at all, and with Gao Han's character, he will definitely not do such useless work, unless......

"This is just the first step in his substitution!"
