Chapter 118: Who Needs to Score Goals

Zhang Yuan and Kaka both stood up to applaud Adebayo, but there was a hint of hypocrisy in some people's smiles, such as Zhang Yuan, such as Kaka, and Higuain, you can't say that they don't have a sense of collective honor, they also hope that Real Madrid can successfully advance to the next round, but they also want to score goals, and no one needs to score more than them.

"It's off to a good start today, maybe we'll get some chances!" Zhang Yuan gossiped in Kaka's ear again.

Kaka didn't say anything, he didn't think Tottenham Hotspur were that easy to deal with, in fact he had more battles with Premier League clubs than Zhang Yuan, and Liverpool had a strong impact on him on Istanbul night, never underestimate the opponent's determination to fight.

Maybe they were the ones who had the last laugh.

Tottenham Hotspur conceded so early, obviously a bit of a fire, the opening goal was far more demoralizing than the goal conceded after 20 minutes, they couldn't control the midfield, and then they couldn't hold up in the midfield.

Now it is even more unbearable, the player's heart is even more impatient, in the eighth minute Crouch forced a flying tackle Ramos was shown a yellow card, only a few minutes later, Crouch chased back Marcelo flying tackle and got a second yellow card, indisputably sent off.

Ramos is on the right and Marcelo is on the left, but Crouch insists on relying on his long feet and long hands, relying on his skillful "defensive skills" to put Real Madrid's two big fullbacks on the ground in turn.

When he came to his senses, the red card at home had arrived, and to be honest, there was really no controversy about this red card.

Crouch pleaded and his team-mates pressed to no avail of any of the referee's decisions, and Crouch was sent off.

Tottenham, which was already in a grim situation, has one less person, how can this battle be fought, Redknapp has a headache on the sidelines, this Crouch only has a long IQ, and you don't look at whose territory this is, how can he be so reckless.

As we all know, the scale of the Premier League referee is relatively large, maybe Crouch will not be punished with a red card for these two fouls, but this is the Champions League, and the scale here is much stricter, not to mention Real Madrid's home stadium.

It was the striker who was punished, Redknapp did not make a substitution, but played without a striker, to be precise, it is not a striker, Van der Vaart can be advanced forward, Van der Vaart is Tottenham who went to Tottenham at the last moment of this season's summer transfer, originally came back this time with a heart of revenge, but his team obviously disappointed him, so quickly behind everything and one less person, how could there be a chance to revenge.

Mourinho's heart is also a lot more relaxed, Tottenham is now one less person, although it is a striker, but the impact is still quite large, Crouch presses Real Madrid's back line in the front, and he is still a high point, the tactical effect is obvious, now that it is off, Real Madrid's back line can be further pressed.

Van der Vaart is not the kind of striker who counterattacks, his speed is not fast, Mourinho is very aware of his characteristics, and the effect of counterattacking Van der Vaart is not good, Mourinho began to unscrupulously demand that Real Madrid's formation continue to press.

Tottenham Hotspur has now completely lost hope of competing for midfield, and can only passively choose to shrink the defense, Redknapp has nothing to do about it, he wants to change after 20 minutes, but who to replace, he wants to replace Van der Vaart the most, the reason is that Van der Vaart's characteristics are not a speedy striker, and he is not a pure striker.

But replacing Van der Vaart in 20 minutes is definitely not a good idea, Van der Vaart has performed very well after arriving at Tottenham Hotspur, he is also a very strong player, the main force in the frontcourt, Redknapp is afraid that the substitution will affect the relationship between the two.

And Van der Vaart can also shrink into midfield, without a striker, there is no striker, at least not to allow Real Madrid to pass through the midfield easily.

Redknapp has his own considerations, but the situation on the pitch is not like this, Van der Vaart wants to hit Real Madrid in the face, after Crouch is down, he is not so willing to retreat, of course, he thinks differently from the manager, he thinks that even if he returns, Tottenham will not be able to take advantage of the midfield.

Real Madrid is now under pressure from the army, and the support of the back line to the midfield is very strong, and he will control the situation with or without him, and he thinks that he might as well stay in the front as much as possible.

Tottenham are very passive right now, Real Madrid's attack wave after wave, their door is crumbling, Gomez is not as easy as Juan Pablo, the quality of Real Madrid's shots today is significantly improved compared to the last game against Sporting Gijon, Gomez made two crucial saves in a row, if it weren't for his Real Madrid already have two goals in hand.

Fortunately, with him, Tottenham kept the score of 0:1 in the first half, Redknapp is not a fool, Tottenham's blind defense is unreliable, but he can't even come up with a solution without one person.

Mourinho was quite dissatisfied with the first half, the effect was much better than against Sporting Gijon, but the team only had a one-goal advantage, which doesn't make sense, in his opinion, it was not Gomez who performed well, but Real Madrid's players did not perform well, and many opportunities could not be grasped.

Cristiano Ronaldo turned on the wave shooting mode again, constantly increasing the number of shots, in the first half he completed eight shots alone, but did not score a goal, in the second half maybe he will set a record, the number of shots in a single game, but if there is no goal, it must be an embarrassing record.

"I'm not happy with your performance! Well, yes, not satisfied! We should have had a 3-0 result in the first half, but you couldn't do it! It's not my problem, it's your problem! You should think about why the opponent's goal is so difficult to penetrate!"

Mourinho was very unhappy with the result of substitutions, even if it was the scorer, he also changed, Adebayo scored a goal, but this guy did not satisfy the manager, he was also keen to shoot and waste opportunities, in the first half he completed 6 shots, but also wasted two great chances, Mourinho thought he was not as lucky as he looked, simply let him off at halftime and let Zhang Yuan come out to replace his striker position.

This substitution adjustment is a bit weird to say, shouldn't it be Higuain in the first place?!

Zhang Yuan is happy, but Higuain is very disappointed, is this a new number, maybe the new center will be Zhang Yuan as the main force?!

Mesut Ozil was also replaced, and this guy seemed to be more influenced by the national team game, and this game did not slow down, and it was Kaka who replaced him.

On the bench, Zhang Yuan and Kaka didn't think that the two of them really appeared at the same time, and at this time, the two of them came to a tacit look, and the alliance was officially formed.

Mourinho sent Zhang Yuan and Kaka at the same time, which changed the team's strategy, when Ozil was on the field, he mostly used passes to create threats, and now Zhang Yuan and Kaka are on the field, which is clearly focused on breakthroughs.

He thought a lot, Redknapp must make adjustments in the second half, no surprise must be a change of striker, they only had a pitiful shot on goal in the first half, of course, because of Real Madrid's strong suppression, but at the same time they did not have a real threat point on the pitch This is also the main reason, Mourinho guessed that Redknapp would definitely send a speedy striker, that is, Defoe.

When there is a speed striker up front, Redknapp mostly plays a defensive counter-attacking strategy, using Defie's speed to attack Real Madrid's back line.

Mourinho doesn't want the team to use offside tactics excessively, because strikers like Defoe themselves rely on anti-offside to eat, so Mourinho's choice will definitely not let Real Madrid's back line press too much, he will choose a solid defensive posture.

It's not 5:0 now, it doesn't matter if you lose a goal, it's hard for Tottenham Hotspur to turn the tables when you return to home, it's 1:0 now, losing a goal is really enough for Real Madrid to drink a pot, 1:1 is a shame, 1:2 is a shame, to put it mildly, even if Real Madrid wins Tottenham 2:1, it's definitely not a happy thing.

Of course, it was not only because of Defoe that defended well in the second half, in fact, the impact of Tottenham on the two wings in the first half also had a profound impact on Mourinho, especially on the right side of Bale, his amazing breakthrough ability is not only known now, in the group stage, Tottenham Hotspur against the defending champion Inter Milan, Bale suffered for Inter.
