Zinedine Zidane, who is too young, too simple, has encountered a crisis, which is not what he wants to see, but it is happening, and he hopes to wait until half-time to rebuild the team's morale, so he is no longer expecting the team to equalize the score, but just hoping that the team will not concede any more goals in the first half.

Zidane's anxious and helpless appearance, although it is well restrained, but Simeone on the side has a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, he sees Zidane's uneasiness and anxiety, and also sees the eagerness of the Real Madrid players on the field.

He smiled secretly, in this game, he can finally rest assured, the reason why he was nervous before was that he was afraid that his team would stimulate Real Madrid after scoring a goal, so that Real Madrid would be mad, but now it seems that the other party is mad, but unfortunately it is not used in the right place, but it has improved a lot in terms of fouls and impulsiveness, and the attack that is threatening in the real sense is actually not as much as before.

The coordination is very bad, there are a lot of defensive holes, if it weren't for his strong personal ability, I'm afraid that at this time, his Atletico Madrid would have a lead of more than two goals.

However, a team that relies on individual ability to play, he Simeone is really not afraid, the only thing he is more worried about now is whether Real Madrid will make any changes after the break, in case there is a change, I am afraid it will not be as good as it is now, so he still hopes that his team can lead a little more in the first half and score another goal, which is the best.

……

In the stands, the Real Madrid fans began to get agitated, and they had a very bad feeling. My team seemed to be a little out of place today, and it wasn't a bit out of the ordinary. What's going on? Why is this happening?

Even Lin Yu fell into a strange circle of how to kick and how not to go well, not to mention the rest of the players. They were still full of confidence, but at this moment, they had to have a terrible thought - Real Madrid should not lose, right?

Atletico Madrid fans are still cautious, they are used to seeing Real Madrid turn the tables in the game, so they dare not easily believe Real Madrid's poor performance at this time, so instead of shouting, it is better to cheer for their team silently.

Because they know that there are people in the Real Madrid team who have a strange chemistry when they listen to their cheers.

Fans of both teams remained almost silent. Only a small number of people were cheering, and this strange scene made Calderón Stadium seem a little quiet, but the voices of the commentators in the commentary booth seemed to be very rhythmic.

Thankfully, in the first half, Atletico Madrid failed to extend the score, so that's fine. In this case, the hope of Real Madrid's comeback in the second half is still very high.

But it depends on what he has to say in the dressing room at half-time.

He was the first to walk to the locker room, and on the way, he thought about how he could change it. The responsibility of a manager is most evident before the game and at half-time, once the game has begun. On the contrary, it won't be of much use, because at that time. All they can do is make the three substitutions.

……

There was some silence in the dressing room, and the players' gasps could be heard clearly. Everyone's hearts felt like a stone had been crushed, and they were a little uncomfortable and breathless.

Zidane knew that the pressure on the players was still too great, they lost the ball inexplicably, and they played inexplicably in a mess, and they themselves were very dissatisfied with their performance, and they even wanted to slap themselves.

Although he is not experienced enough, because he has been a player, he has the most accurate grasp of the psychological state of the player.

He had a belly full of fire to spill, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

At this time, what the players need is not a shout-out, but a secret to be able to win the game.

What's more, even he made a mistake this time, what qualifications does he have to scold these players? Maybe it will have a bad effect.

You must know that most of these players are only in their twenties, or when the rebellious mentality is very strong, if you abuse them excessively, it may instead stimulate their rebellious mentality, and then cause chaos in the dressing room, then it will be more than worth the loss.

Even if you scold right, this situation may occur, not to mention that Zidane himself is not qualified to scold these players today.

The players heard Zidane's sigh, and they all "chuckled" in their hearts, feeling that they were really disappointed by the coach, and this game should have been played better.

Then, Zidane's voice rang out: "I want to ask you a question!" ”

The players are very strange, shouldn't Zidane scold them? That way, their hearts will feel better, and they won't be too depressed, and they will be asking questions about what to do now.

Seeing the expressions of the players, Zidane smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, this is not a question with a standard answer, I just want to hear your answers." ”

He took the expressions of all the players into his eyes again, and then smiled: "What kind of team do you think is worthy of the word hegemon?" ”

Players, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Zidane means by suddenly asking this question, but Pogba spoke first: "The hegemon can make others afraid!" ”

Zidane nodded, then looked at the other players.

Lin Yu thought for a while and said: "A hegemon should have the domineering spirit to look down on the world, and he will not be arrogant because of victory, nor will he be discouraged because of defeat. ”

He thought of the First Emperor, and also thought of the domineering Cao Apu.

These two are not perennial kings, they have failed in the process of hegemony, and there are many failures, the first emperor succeeded, and Cao Apu failed, but this does not affect them to be called overlords.

"The overlord has to be ruthless!"

"Napoleon was the great hegemon, even if he failed at the end, but when he galloped the field. Any army will tremble at the sight of his name! ”

"Overlord...... Is it always possible to win? ”

"I think we're the overlords!"

……

Once the conversation box is opened, the players have nothing to worry about. They expressed their opinions and seemed serious.

Listened to the players' answers. Zidane smiled and said, "You all have a point, but I think Lin Yu's answer is the best!" The so-called hegemon, indeed must have a feared domineering, anyone who sees you, any team will be afraid to see you, this point has basically been done now, dare to compete with us, only talk about two or three teams, and even these teams. When they see us, they will be scared and tremble! But this is actually not the most important, the most important thing is what Lin Yu said, victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged! ”

The players were listening to Zidane's words, and Zidane gave them time.

After about three minutes, Zidane continued: "Today's game, we did make Atletico Madrid scared, but we made two mistakes in a row. Even I, the manager, have not been spared from this! The first mistake was that we won against Atletico Madrid in a row, we didn't maintain the mentality that a hegemon should have, we were too arrogant and forgot that this is a big taboo! The hegemon won't do that. The Overlord will not be complacent about his successive victories over an opponent he despises! ”

"The second mistake was the panic, the anxiety and the restlessness we showed after conceding the goal! If it's really a hegemon, it shouldn't be like this, even if you lose the ball. Keep your composure and equalise again. It's enough to take back your advantage, but what about us? I. Including you, you have fallen into undeserved discouragement, even self-pity! I can tell you that the overlords will introspect, but they will never feel sorry for themselves, they don't have that much to spare! ”

Listening to Zidane's words, all the players lowered their heads, everyone is not stupid, of course they understand the meaning of what Zidane said.

"You should always remember that we are the strongest team on the planet, we take every game seriously, it is responsible for our own honor, and after conceding a goal, you can keep a normal heart, find a way to equalize, and then overtake the score, this is what we should do, the hegemon will also make mistakes, but those who lose their minds after making mistakes are definitely not qualified to be called hegemons! I remember that Lin Yu once told a story about the Three Kingdoms, and it is estimated that many people here may have heard of it, Cao Cao died the most loyal guard Dian Wei under Jia Xu's resourceful design, his own son, his nephew was also killed in battle, and he almost lost his life, which was definitely a fiasco for him, but he did not lose his mind because of this defeat, and because of this, he was able to become the strongest overlord in the Three Kingdoms period! ”

"Compared to him, you just conceded a goal, and you haven't failed yet, so you can't do it?"

Lin Yu suddenly stood up, patted his chest and said, "I am willing to cross the sword immediately and break the enemy army in anger!" ”

"No need to do this, this is not an ancient battlefield after all, no one needs you to lose your life, not even get hurt, all I want is to score goals, just to win! Can it be done? ”

"No problem!" Lin Yu almost roared.

"What about you? Do you really want Lin Yu to learn from Zhao Zilong alone to break out of the encirclement? Zidane looked at the rest of the players and asked.

"How is that possible, Real Madrid's players are not just Lin Yu, although we are not as good as him, but we also want to make meritorious contributions, the first half played too badly!" Cristiano. Ronaldo said loudly that as the first star in the Real Madrid team, and now only the second superstar after Lin Yu, he naturally deserves it.

"That's right! You can't let the captain steal the credit alone, we are not dead people, nor are we people with no skin and no face, the boss of this game, you just have to wait and watch the show, Atletico Madrid wants to defeat us? We will definitely let them know what it means to be a hegemon! Casillas gritted his teeth and said viciously, as if he had become more willing to speak than before after being relieved of the captain's burden.

"That's right, that's right!"

"Whoever is still the same as in the first half, then cut the chicken!"

"Ruthless, okay with shaved head?"

"No way!"

The dressing room, which was originally lifeless and very depressing, finally seemed to be lifted through the dark clouds to see the sun and the moon, and suddenly brightened up.

Zidane knew that his words were successful, his tactics were no problem, and his players were better than Atletico Madrid's players, and the most important thing was the mentality, as long as the mentality problem was solved, everything would be fine.

……

At the same time, in the dressing room of Atletico Madrid, Simeone smiled very happily, he was very satisfied with the performance of his players, although he did not complete the lead of two goals in the first half, he was content, after all, although the opponent was a light opponent, it was also a terrible demon, not so easy to beat.

One goal lead, the next step is to move towards a two-goal lead, towards victory, and the significance of that goal is not in the lead in the score, but in the morale of their players from that 1-0 lead.

Now all the players are full of confidence and they can't wait to start the second half immediately, they can't beat Real Madrid in the first half, they can't wait in the second half. (To be continued......)
