The other protagonist is Adebayo, Adebayo finally earned a starting opportunity how not to break out, Mourinho sent him in the hope of having one more fulcrum in the frontcourt, I don't know what Adebayo thinks, maybe he hasn't been with the team yet, his fulcrum role is there but his general choice is to shoot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two central defenders who defended Adebayor today, one is Ivan Hernandez and the other is Botia, and neither of them is too low in height, Botia is 187, Hernandez is 190, and Adebayo's height is around 192.

Although there is a slight height advantage, Real Madrid is playing a positional battle, Adebayo is under the attack of two central defenders, it is still a little difficult to fight for the top, not to mention Hernandez and Botia two small actions constantly, Adebayo rarely regards himself as a fulcrum, he wants to score, so most of his options are shots.

Of course, the quality of such a shot is not guaranteed, but it is also worth talking about nothing, he one, Di Maria and two people have drilled into the tip of the horns to strengthen the shot, Mourinho is very unhappy with this situation, but there is nothing to do, he can see that the state of the whole Real Madrid team is not very good, lack of Ronaldo, I feel that the attack on the field is too clueless.

Di Maria is not at the same level as Ronaldo at all, he did what Ronaldo did, and now he has some faint thoughts about letting Zhang Yuan be replaced in the second half.

At halftime, Real Madrid scored 0:0 in the home game with Sporting Gijón.Real Madrid shot a lot of as many as 13 times, and the number of shots on target was not bad, but most of them were shots on target without threat.

In the face of the turtle iron bucket formation, Mourinho has not many ways, don't try to lure the enemy deep or something, Preciado is very cunning and will not be fooled, this is Real Madrid's home stadium Sporting Gijón The players will not be fooled.

Because Mourinho's "bus tactics" are famous in football, but he is not good at breaking through the iron bucket formation.

Now he can only be patient, waiting for the players to play a little stronger, and after arranging the tactics, he called Zhang Yuan.

"In the second half, maybe you will play, warm up well, I will make arrangements according to the situation!" Mourinho's other substitutes called Zhang Yuan without saying anything, which has already indicated a direction, the possibility of Zhang Yuan playing in the second half is not ordinary, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he needed Zhang Yuan to be a-stirring stick.

Whether it can work or not only God knows, after all, Zhang Yuan has not played an official game for 3 months, and training and competition are two different things.

Zhang Yuan listened to Mourinho's words and realized that his opportunity had come, and if he did well, he might be able to start the Champions League in midweek, otherwise he might continue to waste time on the bench.

In the second half, Sporting Gijón always kept in mind the teachings of head coach Preciado, and would never invest too many troops in Real Madrid's backfield, Real Madrid's possession rate in the first half was as high as more than 60 percent, but it was useless.

A weak team like Sporting Gijón, Preciado plays a completely different kind of football, they don't have the kind of small-scale passing and cutting cooperation in Spain, they rely on defense, attack is not their specialty, they have only scored 27 goals so far this season, on average less than 1 per game, but they have not conceded many goals, except for Barcelona and Real Madrid, they have conceded the least number of goals.

Preciado didn't expect the team to survive the first half, at halftime he was full of praise for the team, praised it, cheered for the team, and did a good job for Lao Tzu, this game can sweep the face of Real Madrid, Lao Tzu invited everyone to a big meal.

He is not a civilized person, Mourinho quarreled with him at the beginning, Preciado even made the act of touching his little brother to insult people, of course, he is not a person to mess with, and he is passing on this spirit of not being easy to mess with to Sporting Gijón.

And the players of Sporting Gijón are really like hungry wolves, they still have a lot of energy to run at the beginning of the second half, constantly interfering with the rhythm of Real Madrid, Real Madrid is impetuous, and Mourinho has to be blamed for this, he is very anxious on the sidelines, and the players see him and become more anxious, after all, they can't take Mourinho's enemies, and no one knows if the next game can stay in this position today.

Look at Zhang Yuan, who used to be heavily valued by Mourinho, and now he is not nesting on the bench.

In the 57th minute, Zhang Yuan, wearing the No. 14 jersey, finally reappeared at the Bernabeu after a lapse of three months, he replaced Adebayo, this handsome guy made Mourinho quite disappointed, a fulcrum goal, Adebayo A lot of balls if you choose to do it to teammates is actually very good, but he chose to shoot, the quality is quite poor, the game has been completed so far he has completed 6 shots, but only one shot on target, such a performance Mourinho replaced him is not wronged.

Adebayo's face was not very good-looking when he came off the field, but he was helpless, and Zhang Yuan clapped his hands and slowly returned to the bench like a frosted eggplant, and Mourinho didn't look at him.

The Bernabeu fans burst into thunderous applause, Zhang Yuan's momentum is certainly not as good as Ronaldo's, but his performance in the first half of the season is a good interpretation of the word "efficient", and he is also quite popular with Real Madrid fans.

Now that he has returned to the field after a lapse of three months, the majority of Real Madrid fans will naturally welcome his return with warm applause, and at the same time hope that Zhang Yuan's appearance can have an immediate effect.

Zhang Yuan thought that Mourinho would push Higuain to the front line to play the center forward and let him play Ronaldo's position, but Mourinho did not arrange it this way, he pushed Zhang Yuan to the front line, and his instructions to Zhang Yuan were to let Zhang Yuan get closer to the goal and go deep into the core of Sporting Gijon's defensive area to disrupt the game.

This arrangement reflects Mourinho's mentality, in the case of positional battles, Mourinho wants to use some direct means to solve the problem rather than pass the control, which has so far proved useless.

Of course, this is also in line with Mourinho's consistent advocacy, he has always been less interested in possession.

Preciado saw Zhang Yuan on the field and immediately realized the danger, he admired a lot of players in the Real Madrid team, Zhang Yuan was also one of them, this player was capable of solving problems alone in his mind.

After a few minutes of observation, Preciado quickly came up with a way to deal with it, Zhang Yuan's header has never been a strong point, and Mourinho's substitution of him will certainly reduce Adebayor's high-altitude ball tactics on the pitch and instead focus on the ground attack.

Zhang Yuan's breakthrough with the ball can be powerful, Preciado believes that his central defender really wants to single-handedly challenge Zhang Yuan, it must be looking for death, and he can't let Zhang Yuan hold the ball, which is the most crucial.

Preciado's strategy is to find a way to cut off Real Madrid's pass path to Zhang Yuan, and the disadvantage of playing a three-striker with a winger is in this place, the winger pulls too far to the side, and the center forward can easily fall into isolation.

Preciado's strategy is to block the two wings and the middle outside, and his current defensive strategy is not to focus on Zhang Yuan, but to push the passing points around Zhang Yuan as far as possible.

Zhang Yuan played very awkwardly, Higuain was not in good shape, and breakthrough was not his strong point, so he often had no route to pass to Zhang Yuan, so he could only choose to pass back or pass to Ozil in the middle to redistribute.

Di Maria on the right side has an obvious physical disadvantage, after Preciado took countermeasures, Di Maria's space was compressed, more and more to the side, in the first half Sporting Gijón took the middle of the concentrated defense, and in the second half Zhang Yuan came on the field they obviously changed their strategy, spreading the defensive area and strictly prohibiting the ball from passing to Zhang Yuan's feet.

This trick works very well, and Preciado is not out of stock in his stomach, which makes Zhang Yuan very uncomfortable.

At present, in this case of Real Madrid, there must be someone in the penalty area, Zhang Yuan can't choose to retreat too much, he chooses to retreat, in disguise, let Sporting Gijón push Real Madrid away from the goal, Real Madrid is not Barcelona, there is no such dexterous cooperation, the farther away from the fans, the less threatening.

So Mourinho has always been ready to play without a striker, and Zhang Yuan must be in front.

The wings could not provide support, the middle could not penetrate, and the protagonist of the second half became the midfielder, and everyone took turns to pick up their feet and shoot from distance towards the gate of Sporting Gijón. (To be continued.) )
