Volume 6 Chapter 18

"Thiago (Silva), you must do a good job of protecting and filling in the midfield area, especially Ronaldo's inward cutting and anti-offside, as well as Ibrahimovic's back to the ball, grab the ball, you directly hand it over to Gabi or Mark nearby", Ancelotti seized the time in the dressing room to arrange the tactics of the second half.

Real Madrid is great in their frontcourt players are very strong in their individual ability, it can be said that the individual ability is the most in La Liga, better than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, if Di Maria is replaced by Higuain, their forward line will be more explosive, but Ancelotti estimates that Mourinho will not be so crazy.

Because then Atletico will spend their midfield completely!

Silva nodded grimly, for this kind of midfield role equivalent to half a defender, he only needs to destroy, there is nothing to get used to.

"Falcao, in the second half you have to move more, pull it out and then plug it back", Ancelotti made a gesture, "create space for Mark and Sanchez, and also stir up the opposing defence, many of their defenders recycle the penalty area, don't play too hard"

"Okay, boss," Falcao replied with a nod.

"This is Calderón, it's our home stadium, Real Madrid's situation is obvious, to use our mentality to win and play our counter-attack, we have to be more patient, don't concede the ball easily to give them a chance to counter-attack"

'Control, Real Madrid's midfield is fragile, as long as we are patient, the final victory will be ours', Ancelotti said again.

Mourinho on the other side is also stirring up morale.

"I have a shameful record since I came, we haven't won against Atletico Madrid, it's not only a shame for me, it's a shame for you"

He glanced around and continued: "Atletico will definitely continue to attack in the second half, this is their home stadium and we can't afford to make any defensive mistakes again"

"Don't care about possession, get the ball and hit the front court quickly, shoot when you have the chance, I want to be fast!" , he shook off his suit, crossed his waist and paced, "One kick out of the ball, use the space left by them after pressing, seize the opportunity, kill the game!" ”

He punched himself in the palm of his hand, and his face was full of murderous energy!

The fifteen minutes of the halftime passed quickly, and after a while, Mackin led his teammates out of the players' tunnel and followed the referee to the field.

"Audience friends, we see that the players of the two teams have come out, the second half of the game is about to start, the first half is still a draw, I think both sides will not be too satisfied with this score, the second half should be more exciting", Zhan Jun said expectantly.

"Especially Atletico Madrid", Zhang Lu analyzed, "Mourinho's team is particularly stable against weak teams, and Atletico Madrid must take the opportunity of direct dialogue to overtake points in order to occupy a favorable situation"

As the referee blew the whistle again, the second half of the game officially began.

In the second half, Atletico kicked off first, and Falcao knocked the ball directly to Mackin behind, who looked ahead, and only Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo rushed through the half.

It's enough for Mourinho!

So he directly knocked the ball backwards and ran forward himself, in which case it was enough to hand over the task of dispatching to Gabi, and he could wait until the 35-meter area to receive the ball.

"Shhh......h......h

Two years ago, under Manuel Pellegrini, they still played technical football, and now Real Madrid is basically equivalent to a Chelsea that has strengthened the front and weakened the back.

Not only the fans of other teams complained, but even Real Madrid's own fans complained, but people can score a lot of goals when they play like this, where can you be reasonable.

The ball advanced to the 30-meter area, and when Mack Qin took Pepe** out in the middle, he received Gabi's direct push and rubbed the outside of his instep lightly, and sent the ball behind Pepe.

The sour Pepe didn't want it, but unfortunately Sanchez's long-range shot from inside didn't hit the power and went directly to goalkeeper Casillas.

"I've been imagining a scene", said Maria after seeing this scene, "if Atletico are stable for a few years, when all of them have formed a tacit understanding with Mark, will there be any team that can compete with their midfield"

"He's a buggy presence in midfield, and every time I see him with some effortless balls, I think he must have over 160 ball quotients."

"Haha", Morrison laughed, "there is no such thing"

"I'm just using an analogy," Maria shrugged, "you know that under normal circumstances, when people are moving at high speed or focusing on the ball, their field of vision is very narrow."

He stretched out his palm and shook it along the line of sight in front of him, "The pitch is too wide for the players, you need to have a particularly strong spatial instinct to find opportunities without looking"

"In fact, many ordinary players can only decide where to pass after taking the ball and observing, and stars are generally faster because they are good at observing in advance, but at the level of superstar, it is definitely not achieved by just watching, but by the evolution of the mind."

"That's right, I agree with this", Morrison nodded, "It's often a matter of a moment, maybe less than half a second, and the line of sight is definitely not able to keep up"

"A player like Mark is probably a ...... in a century," Maria lamented.

The situation on the field is still Atletico Madrid's main attack, Real Madrid seized the opportunity to counterattack, if it didn't become a counterattack, they were not obsessed with the position.

Or give it to Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic and let them rely on their individual ability to hit the goal, or just pour the ball back to the backfield, and wait for Atletico to come out, and then play the ball to Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic with a long pass.

Mourinho probably studied the NBA Zen master's triangle offense, in short, other teammates did their best to create space for the superstar to play alone, so that they could PK individually.

Conceptually, this is also an effective strategy.

So you know why Mourinho is so obsessed with the single-point attacking ability of the striker, Drogba, Milito, Cristiano Ronaldo, Costa, and then you can understand why Manchester United is always so meaningful, yes, it is because Lukakubi is really good enough for those above him.

This time, Real Madrid played in the front, facing Atletico Madrid's well-lined defensive formation, there was also no good way, Ronaldo dangled for a long time and did not find space to shoot, and then transferred the ball to the right through Ozil.

After Di Maria and Ramos came to a cross, it was directly a reverse cross, and then Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo rushed to grab the point.

But I'm sorry, but I've never used a header very much, so it's a lot of a drop!

Before Ronaldo rushed in, Martinez jumped up directly under the pressure of Ibrahimovic's back, pushed the ball out of the penalty area at one end, protected Silva at the top of the arc to receive the ball, resisted the counter-robbing Ozil, and kicked Gabi next to him.

Mourinho's game is arranged like this, destined to be very weak in the midfield, Gabi pushed forward, Alonso did not dare to come up directly, he was not confident in his current speed, but chose a conservative defense.

Mackin came back and Gabi knocked down three times so that Pepe, who was trying to grab it, didn't dare to make a mistake again, and obediently took it back, and at this time Atletico Madrid had advanced to the midfield.

"Real Madrid struggled to form a continuous attack today because they lost momentum in midfield", Maria analyzed, "Shahin's arrival did not solve the problem of Real Madrid's midfield, he was more like a substitute for Alonso"

'Mesut Ozil has high hopes for Jose Mourinho, but to be honest, he's often invisible against strong teams, so there's a lot to improve on, and his strength is in his final pass with spirit rather than playmaking,' said Morrison.

As he spoke, Atletico easily pushed the ball into Real Madrid's 40-meter area, and today's Mourinho's line-up made them have to do this, and their back five only dared to save in this position, otherwise it would be easy to cause a situation where they were out of position and their teammates could not make up for it.

But after a long time, there will inevitably be mistakes!

This time, Mackin burned the fire to the left side of Real Madrid, and for Marcelo and Coentrão, he was determined to fight to the death today.

One is not good at defense, and the other has just come for less than half a season, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a bully.

Mataneche directly exchanged positions with Macklin, then pulled back and pushed the ball to Juanfran who came up, and Juanfran made a direct push to Ronaldo's pressure and handed it to Mackin who went to the bottom line on the side.

Ronaldo's defense today was quite active, and he immediately ran over to pinch Mackqin, but before he could get to him, Mackin passed the ball back with another kick.

When Ronaldo turned back, Juan pushed the ball back again, directly making Ronaldo curse MMP in his heart, but this is the norm for defenders.

But Ronaldo still didn't give up, and turned back again, and as soon as Mack Qin stepped on his left foot, he was about to push it back to Juanfran again, and even Marcelo, who had an explosive head, thought so.

However, Mack played with a calf's tail with his left foot, just flicked the outside instep, and then immediately used the inside instep to directly move the ball to Marcelo's crotch.

Marcelo subconsciously retracted his legs and did not clamp them.

"Mark, he broke through Marcelo's ......", Marc Qin, who started in an instant, pushed away Marcelo's swinging arm and broke through the penalty area directly from the bottom line.

"Boom", the shouts in the stands instantly sounded.

Marcelo turned and struggled to chase back, and Coentrão also had to give up Mata to recycle the penalty area, "rushing", the red and white on the field instantly accelerated, and they were looking for their positions inside and outside the penalty area.

When the ball rolled to the bottom line, Marcelo and Coentrão came forward and back, Mackin directly turned sideways, picked up the outside of his right foot, and directly picked the ball in front of the big penalty area!

There's Gabi coming to the ball!

Alonso, who went to replace Coentrão to guard Mata, is no longer in his position!

"Gabi, shoot ......", Maria knew what he was going to do when she saw Gabi's thigh, and shouted directly.

"Bang" a strong touch, and then the ball flew to the goal very fast, Cassie also flew quickly sideways, and saved the ball with one palm, but before he landed, the ball was pushed back again, this time he could no longer stop the ball from entering the goal, he could only stretch out his left palm in vain, looking at the ball and sighing.

"Goaaaaaal......," Maria shouted frantically, and a figure leapt from the white crowd in the penalty area ran frantically to the sidelines.

Falcao!

"Falcao, Falcao, the spirit fox in the penalty area, he was alert and put Casey's saved shot into Real Madrid's goal, the ball went into the ......", Zhan Jun also shouted excitedly, "Atletico Madrid overtook the score, Mourinho finally swallowed the bitter fruit for his conservatism"

"Roar ......", the whole Calderon shook like an earthquake, and Makqin grabbed the running Falcao, jumped on his back, and roared wildly at the stands.

Roar, roar from the god of the sea!

Carlo Ancelotti clenched his fists on the sidelines, there is no such thing as an impenetrable midfield defence, and he is not afraid of Mourinho as long as possible.

"The top is beautiful", Mackin laughed and patted Falcao's head, this goal is scored, they are more patient to deal with Real Madrid, and now it should be Real Madrid who is anxious.

He was right, Mourinho watched the goal on the sidelines, looked expressionless, went straight back to the dugout, and then asked Higuain and Diarra to warm up.
