Chapter 1434: The Door Opens Wide
Mourinho looked at the players and lowered their heads, and continued: "Raise your heads, don't be ashamed, you did a good job in the first half overall, but at the end you were a little complacent, just pay attention to that." We are here today, at the Emirates Stadium, not for a few words of praise from those neutral fans, let alone for the praise of the media, that is not interesting! If we are facing another team, I have no objection to you playing a beautiful attack, but don't forget that we are meeting Real Madrid today, and don't forget the terrible Lin Yu! ”
"Don't be unconvinced, I believe that there are many people here who have seen Lin Yu play, and even been teammates or opponents with Lin Yu, you should know better than me about his horror. Nemanja Matic, let me ask you, how did you feel when you faced Lin Yu's shot? ”
Nemanja Matic scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "My mind was blank, you can see that I blocked his shot, but in fact it was just an accident......
"Accident?"
"That's right, even I didn't expect to hit his shot, but I accidentally touched it when I fell to the ground." Matic replied.
"You heard it, the defense we were proud of was just an accident. So I want you to know that Lin Yu is really terrible, and you may not be able to stop him from scoring with all your body and mind in the game, and if you attack because of carelessness, then the situation is even more dangerous. Again, we are here today for the championship! For the sake of honor! For the final victory! Instead of a few words of praise from the fans, a few words of praise from the media, you can't win the championship. The more beautiful the kick, the more people will laugh at it! Do you understand? ”
"Except for the championships. Nothing else makes sense, decades later. People only remember the championships, and they will only say how many championships they have won and not how beautiful they played that game! You must be down-to-earth, endure humiliation, and if you can't hold it in the end, it's not too late to fight again. I'll fight with you at that time, don't worry. ”
In fact, the Chelsea players have long realized that they will be criticized by Mourinho at half-time, because in the last period of the first half, they were indeed a little complacent, and they almost scored for Real Madrid, but they didn't score, it was just their luck, but you can't rely on him to win because it's too inaccurate. No one knows when luck will come and when it won't.
Once the game conceded first, as Mourinho said, they had to fight. But fighting is only for dignity, and it means little to victory, and they all know it. Anyone who fights to the end with Real Madrid will not end well.
Face Real Madrid. God will back down, so it doesn't make sense for your fighting spirit to move God. Reality is always cruel.
……
In the dressing room of Real Madrid, Zidane expressed regret that Lin Yu did not score that goal, and encouraged Lin Yu to make persistent efforts.
But then, his expression became serious.
'Lads, I'm sure you can see through the first half that Chelsea's tactics are very simple, you have to stick to it, you want to drag the game into extra time, into a penalty shootout, if we have an 80 per cent chance of winning the title in the regular season and even in extra time, then when it comes to the penalty shoot-out, we may only have a 50 per cent chance of winning the title, and in any case, it is extremely bad for us.
'In the first half, we didn't score a goal, it was a defeat for us, it was a victory for Chelsea, you have to work harder in the second half, especially Lin Yu, don't forget what you said before the game.'
Hearing Zidane's roll call, Lin Yu rubbed his nose and smiled: "Don't worry, boss, through a duel on the field, I have become very accustomed to Chelsea's defensive tactics today, where there are loopholes, when to pass, when to break through, you just wait in the second half, I will definitely score in less than ten minutes." ”
"That Nemanja is not easy to deal with." Zidane said.
"BOSS, you think too much, although Matic is powerful, but he is not so good, I think that defense was purely an accident." Lin Yu said disdainfully.
"You're not going to be too lightly attacked, are you?"
"Boss, why did you become so distrustful of me, but don't forget, the meaning of this game, especially to me, do you think I'll let it end so boring?" Lin Yu said with a smile.
Zidane was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It seems that I am really worried, so I will bless you here, and in the second half, try to score." ”
He was nervous before, and he forgot that Lin Yu was going to retire this season, and when he thought about it, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to worry about Lin Yu at all, for Lin Yu, today's game, in addition to the five consecutive Champions League championships, for Lin Yu, it was also the last official game in the player's career, with Lin Yu's character, how could the game end like this?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, then looked at the rest of the players and said, "I heard it, Lin Yu's confidence is very high, what about you?" ”
'We're also very confident, we're the strongest team in football, how can we be scared by Chelsea, no matter how well they defend, they will definitely be broken by us.'
"Okay, just have this confidence, don't worry too much about defense in the second half, go all out! Don't be afraid of being scored by the opponent, I can see it, Chelsea, you have to give them a very good chance, they will attack, otherwise, they will take root like an ancient tree of war, give them a chance in the second half, let them attack, I don't believe in such a big temptation, they can stand it! ”
"BOSS, in the second half, I and Varane just stayed behind, and the defense was left to the two of us, even if there were flaws, I wouldn't let them have a chance to score." David. Louis said, standing up.
"There's just Varane. You can use your midfield interception and assist the attack to your advantage. Zidane laughed.
"Is that really possible?"
"Of course!"
'But when I was at Chelsea. It's because he likes to plug in the offense, which leads to instability in defense. will be sold by Mourinho ......"
'You also said that it was before, it was Chelsea, not Real Madrid! We're going to open the door today for them to attack, and when they come out, the defense will inevitably get weaker, and then it's not necessarily who scores, our attacking line is much stronger than them, our players. The ability to take advantage of opportunities is also stronger than theirs. ”
"Thank you, boss!"
"Okay, don't you want to prove yourself, then prove yourself in this game, you can do it, I believe you."
……
During the fifteen-minute break, the managers of both sides gave their players some advice and reprimands, and the players of both sides came back on the pitch as the second half of the game was about to begin.
Because in the last period of the first half, the two teams had a period of wonderful attack, coupled with Lin Yu's excellent performance. Many fans have high expectations for the second half, whether it is watching the individual performances of the stars or watching the attacks between the two sides, it is very enjoyable. There are no goals, that is secondary.
Although the goal is more nerve-stimulating, it is only a moment after all. The real excitement is actually the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides.
The second half of the game began. The fans cheered, although the imaginary battle did not materialize. But Real Madrid's offensive made their eyes shine.
In the first half, although Real Madrid also took the offensive, it was basically attacking and defending, not defending with all its might, but also not attacking with all its might.
Now it's different, Real Madrid is almost all pressed, and there is a Varane left there to guard in the backfield. Louis had already rushed to the center circle arc.
"Real Madrid is in a hurry, it can be seen that they want to solve the battle as soon as possible, otherwise if it drags on to the penalty shootout, their advantage will be gone, which is very unfavorable for them."
"Yes, but with such a big pressure, aren't you worried that there will be a void in the defense?"
"Who knows, maybe Zidane has other ideas, he is not the fledgling coach he used to be, he is also a famous coach now, what is in his head, we really can't speculate."
With commentators and football experts commenting, the second half of the game quickly passed five minutes.
During this period of time, Real Madrid's offensive wave after wave completely overwhelmed Chelsea, and they wanted to counterattack, but there was no chance to raise their heads.
However, the defensive line that has been adjusted by Mourinho has always maintained a consistently high level, because Matic told the truth at halftime, which made Chelsea's back line not have any slackening on Lin Yu's defense, but became more serious, Lin Yu wanted to score, and he couldn't find a way for a while.
"I always look like I'm about to score, but I can't score goals, Chelsea is fighting hard for defense!"
"Otherwise, it's a duel between the strongest spear and the strongest shield, and I'm afraid the goal in this game can't come too early."
……
In the hospital in Madrid, Rebecca looked at the TV screen anxiously and said, "Grandpa, why haven't they scored yet, Brother Lin Yu doesn't seem to be in a good state today." ”
"Don't worry about Rebecca, come on, look at the expression on his face, if he was really in a hurry and couldn't score a goal, his face must be nervous, but now it's a smile on his face, and he will definitely score right away."
In a hospital in Germany, Platini watched TV and sighed: "I really didn't expect it, I also have this day, and I actually have to pin my hopes on Mourinho's defensive tactics to deal with Lin Yu." ”
"Don't worry, sir, Lin Yu will definitely not be able to score the goal, that guy will definitely suffer God's punishment."
……
During a game suspension due to injury, Lin Yu found David. Louis, whispering something in his ear, returned to his place.
On the pitch, the conversation between teammates is normal, so no one thinks it's anything special.
However, the next scene made many people stunned, Lin Yu kicked the ball directly to his backcourt because of excessive force when Lin Yu broke the tie in the front court, and the ball penetrated Real Madrid's defense, and the opportunity was very good.
At this time, the Chelsea players, where do they care what Mourinho says, this is a great opportunity to score, Jade originally assisted the defenders in the back line and the players rushed up.
Mandzukic, Oscar, Hazard, Cesc Fabregas!
After all, Mandzukic's speed is too slow, and Schurrle, who is faster, did not play today, so it is up to Oscar and Hazard to grab the ball. (To be continued......)
