Five minutes later, Salgado, who had done a little warm-up, stepped to the sidelines, and when Real Madrid and Milan battled for a throw-in, the substitution screen was held high.

And Carlos didn't look up until he was slapped twice by Elgra and noticed that the number on the sideline substitution sign was "3...... The Brazilian was stunned, then shrugged his shoulders rather self-deprecatingly and walked to the sidelines.

Before the end of the first half, Mourinho made a seemingly abrupt substitution decision, even replacing the absolute mainstay, superstar Robert Carlos at the back, with his own team's substitute right-back. But the meaning behind this is very obvious, that is, Uncle Bird is very dissatisfied with the current state of the team!

The requirements of this game are to hold the back first, control the ball second, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack to expand the advantage third, Mourinho has actually been repeatedly emphasizing that only by protecting the advantage in his hands will the opponent leak more flaws, and that kind of game will be won more easily and beautifully.

But the fact is that in the face of Milan's midfield scramble, the Real Madrid players wanted to dominate the situation on the field too much, so that the back line was repeatedly attacked by the opponent, and Carlos couldn't hold back his temperament to attack, and was suddenly penetrated by the Milan frontcourt's passing and cutting cooperation, resulting in the second dangerous goal conceded, how can this not make Uncle Bird annoyed.

You must know that Uncle Bird has always valued the attitude of players to execute tactics the most, and replacing Carlos is a warning, although Salgado is a right wing-back, although Carlos has a free kick stunt, although the Brazilian is more suitable for defending Milan's attackers, but Mourinho wants players who can strictly implement his tactics, and from this point of view, he will not hesitate to send Salgado.

The distress in Carlos's classmates' hearts can be imagined, after a symbolic high-five with the Spaniard, he simply walked straight back to the bench and went down, the whole process he and Mourinho were like two parallel lines, no one looked at each other, but it was Boas next to Mourinho, who took the initiative to sit back next to Carlos when he saw this, not knowing whether to appease or communicate something.

This scene on the sidelines can also be seen clearly in the box where Florentino is located. Sacchi asked Florentino meaningfully: "Mr. President, what would you do if Jose had a conflict with some of the players in the team?" ”

This question was a bit tactful, but Lafayette answered very directly.

"It depends on who's standing next to Jose."

For Florentino, it doesn't matter if there are contradictions in the dressing room, he can always find the balance in the shortest possible time, but the trade-offs need to be further weighed.

Salgado's play is just a patch for Real Madrid's backfield, but the Milanese midfield's ferocious scramble, is still Mourinho needs to solve, if the replacement of Carlos can complete the first goal of stabilizing the backfield, then the next more urgent is to control the ball, in fact, now more like AC Milan than the enemy is time, as long as it can effectively consume time, whether it is on the field, or psychologically, Real Madrid will naturally have the upper hand.

Fortunately, this patch was pasted in time, and the mentality of the players of Real Madrid who were in turmoil because of the second goal was calmed down slightly because of the appearance of this patch, and in the last few minutes, after Milan broke the ball, there was no obvious gap and turned back to the midfield, and the situation between the two sides seemed to have reversed for a while.

A few minutes later, at half-time, AC Milan held a two-goal lead, but the players could not find a little relaxed look on their faces, on the contrary, although Real Madrid was behind by two goals, the players' faces were faintly gratifying.

Such a scene is set against the dreary backdrop of the entire Bernabeu, and in the harsh glow of the bright red scoreboard, it resembles a grotesque painting, which is uncomfortable.

"The game has created a misaligned balance, with both sides standing on a seesaw on the edge of a cliff at the same time." The Sky Sports commentator was a little excited to explain that there were no Premier League teams on either side of the game, which allowed Andy Gray to describe his feelings in full words, and watched with great interest, "The second half of the contest will be a psychological battle over the competition, Milan may have a certain advantage, but Real Madrid still have a bit of a lead in the scoreline." ”

His lead was a hell of a away goal.

And in the locker room, Jiang Qi only said four words, "Keep pressing!" ”

Mourinho's adjustment was much more complicated, as he thought about it for a long time and moved Beckham's position on the tactical board to the midfield.

"David, there will be more space for you to play long balls after dropping back, and I hope you can control the rhythm of the team."

He then pulled Figo's position back to the right, "Luis, the right side will be handed over to you!" ”

"Zidan, you play on the left, how to attack is up to you." , Zidane stepped on the left wing-back.

Immediately afterward, Uncle Bird drew a large circle for Raul in the midfield, indicating that the Prince of the Rings could act as a free man.

It's just that after hesitating for a few seconds, he still didn't make a ruthless decision to replace Ronaldo, on the one hand, although in terms of tactical execution and fulcrum, Morientes is more suitable for the game in front of him, but Ronaldo's alien deterrence is not vegetarian, on the other hand, he has already taken Carlos in the first half, and if he strains Ronaldo, he may directly knock the two Brazilian players to the opposite side.

This series of adjustments has only one purpose, to control the time consumed in the game.

However, when the team's morale barely played 60 and faced the Milanese's three-back reinforced defensive system, Mourinho's adjustment effect was not good.

Although Real Madrid maintains a certain advantage in possession, it can be beaten more and more shrinking by Milan's counterattack after breaking the ball, and veterans like Zidane and Figo must be vigilant at any time against the sudden siege of Milanes, and the physical consumption is considerable, and the support of the midfield for the forward line will naturally weaken, and Ronaldo, who is now a little blessed, is impossible to nail a frontcourt fulcrum like Morientes, and Real Madrid, which is leading in possession, seems to be a weak side under the pressure of Milan.

The only thing that makes Mourinho happy is the passage of time.

But the passage came to a halt in the 76th minute......

Villa crossed from the wing, although the speed of the cross was extremely fast, but it did not go over the top, and Carvalho had no choice in a hurry, directly blocking the passing line with his chest, which was the only option that could not be played, but it became a hole in the Real Madrid backline.

Inzaghi, still wearing the number nine, drilled out of the Portuguese like lightning and poked the ball forward before Carvalho could clear it!

The appearance of the ninth master was so sudden that Carvalho was not prepared at all, and by the time he reacted, Inzaghi was already about to flash in front of his eyes!

The Portuguese subconsciously made a sliding tackle, but the ball did not touch, and only one foot of the ninth master was hooked......

Pippo fell to the ground and the whistle blew out, the foul was so obvious that even the Spontaneous at the Bernabeu had no objections.

Penalty kick!
