Chapter 493: Advancing to the Top Four
So before the game, there were also conspiracy theories, saying that Mourinho sprayed the referee too fiercely at the end of the last game, and UEFA was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against Real Madrid.
As the biggest sufferer, Ronaldo also had a cold face immediately after knowing the news, Ronaldo has played so far in his career, and it is estimated that it is the first time he has met such a referee.
However, in terms of the current position, Moen is actually sitting well, and the front is still stable, but after Galatasaray began to foul maliciously, Moen unceremoniously took out two yellow cards, which shocked this group of Turkish villains.
"Lin~~~ Don't keep thinking about breaking the record in the second half" After returning to the dressing room, Mourinho couldn't help but remind.
In the last few minutes of the first half, Lin Dong still had a shot at the goal, and this kick was very dangerous, the Galatasaray defenders had fallen to the ground and made a flying tackle, but Lin Dong still raised his foot to shoot hard.
The manager doesn't really value the record, and even a little repulsive, because at this time, the players will definitely be distracted by the record and can't devote themselves to the game.
Lin Dong is no exception, although Lin Dong is very mature in some aspects, but it is very weak in some places, for which Mourinho has to be reminded.
"Okay" Lin Dong nodded, indicating that he knew.
"You have to be careful in the second half, you should know best about the quality of Galatasaray, they are not weak, so if we want to advance easily, we have to break them in the opening stages of the second half" Mourinho began to plan the tactics of the second half.
Fifteen minutes later, Galatasaray opened the second half of the battle, and at half-time there were no personnel changes for either side.
Drogba passed back to Sneijder, Sneijder passed back, the ball came to Melo's feet, and then Melo passed to captain Inan, it is said that the captain Galatasaray was chased by AC Milan, but unfortunately Galatasaray wanted to call too high, and Inan was unwilling to tear his face with Galatasaray, and finally failed.
Inan wanted to dribble forward, but was intercepted by Ronaldo, although Ronaldo's defensive ability is not flattering, but his physical fitness and speed are quite good, even if he can't stop it, he can entangle the opponent.
Inan passed the ball under Ronaldo's entanglement, Altentop on the other side, but Altentop didn't dare to take the ball because Marcelo had rushed up.
The header was crossed, and the ball came to Sneijder's feet again, Essien and Alonso, and Sneijder was facing the two Real Madrid midfielders at the moment.
Although Sneijder was not afraid, he also knew that it would be too difficult for him to break through from these two people, so Sneijder decided to send the ball to the front.
Braque, in terms of height, Braque is a few centimeters taller than Ramos, but in terms of jumping, Braque is inferior to Ramos, which is why Braque had almost no chance to perform in the first half.
This time there were no exceptions, as Drogba was not in a good position and Sneijder passed the ball to Braque, but it was Ramos who got to the ball in the end.
In the transition, Ramos' header was sent to Marcelo's feet, and Altentop immediately stepped forward to harass, Marcelo crossed Essien, and Essien sent it forward to Ozil.
There was no way around it, and when the ball was broken, Galatasaray reacted very quickly, and Sneijder immediately entangled Alonso, not giving him space to take the ball and pass, and Essien could only choose Ozil.
The ball came to the feet of Ozil, which also signaled that Real Madrid had switched from long passes to short passes, and the object of Ozil's first pass was definitely not Lin Dong.
Ronaldo, at the moment when Ozil got the ball, Ronaldo immediately rushed to Galatasaray's hinterland, and Ronaldo had the same Lin Dong, and even Lin Dong was one step faster than Ronaldo.
This is the reaction and smell of the players, the automatic reaction of grasping the situation on the field, Lin Dong knows that the chances of Ozil passing him are not high, but as a centre-forward, he needs to do what he has to do.
Attract the attention of opponents, create space for teammates, well~~~ Also, ready to shoot at any time, this season, Lin Dong's supplementary shot is a big weapon for Real Madrid's attack.
However, this time Ronaldo did not give Lin Dong this opportunity, after receiving a direct pass from Ozil, Ronaldo changed direction and smashed the ball directly past the defender, and then burst into the penalty area.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~2:0~~~2:0~~~Ronaldo~~~ Ronaldo, less than a minute into the second half, Real Madrid extended its lead, and the score was rewritten to 2:0."
"A quick counter-attack from Real Madrid, a five-foot pass, Ramos' header cleared the ball to Marcelo, Marcelo crossed Essien, Essien passed through Ozil, Ozil passed the ball into Galatasaray's hinterland, Ronaldo broke through the opponent and rushed into the penalty area, facing Muslera with a push and score."
"Desperate, Galatasaray completely lost the chance to advance, five goals, Galatasaray wants to score five goals in the penalty area, and with Galatasaray's quality, this is an impossible goal."
Real Madrid cheering, one step away? No~~~ Half a step away is too much, now it's 2:0, here is the Bernabeu, plus two away goals, promotion is almost a certainty.
"After three years in charge of Real Madrid, Mourinho did not bring too many championships to Real Madrid, but Mourinho helped Real Madrid take off the title of the sixteenth man of the Champions League, and led Real Madrid to the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive years" Lopes affirmed the achievements of Mourinho's team.
Since Real Madrid is celebrating, it means that the opponent is mourning, in the stands, Galatasaray's fans are dead, on the bench, Galatasaray coach almost has the same expression, on the field, Galatasaray player morale is even lower to the bottom.
However, the game was not over, not even Real Madrid's goal, when substitute Karim Benzema scored the third goal of the game in the fifteenth minute after the game resumed.
Just two minutes earlier, Jose Mourinho had made his first substitution of the game, with Callejon limping to the sidelines after a scramble with his opponent, replacing Callejon on the safe side.
A pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese broke through along the wing and crossed, Lin Dong deliberately missed it, the ball flew to the back post, and Benzema flew to sweep the ball into the Galatasaray goal for the third time.
This was the final goal of the game, and although there were more than 20 minutes left in the game, neither side's attention was on the game.
Galatasaray had another recurrence of the same problem, so in the next 20 minutes, both sides contributed three yellow cards each, which means that the referee took out a total of eight yellow cards in this game.
Lin Dong took one of them, and in the face of Galatasaray's deliberate foul, the angry Lin Dong almost clashed with his opponent, and was yellow carded by the referee.
Subsequently, Mourinho replaced Lin Dong with Higuain, obviously, in this case, the possibility of Lin Dong wanting to score a goal has become very small, plus Lin Dong can't afford to lose, to avoid Lin Dong getting another yellow card and suspension, Mourinho can only replace Lin Dong.
