When the players on both sides shook hands, Lin Yu smiled and said to Mandzukic: "Let me see how capable you are." ”

"Can I understand this as a provocation?" Mandzukic asked.

"Well, no problem, if you think provocation can make you more combative, then understand it, I'd love to see what you can do at your strongest, I'm looking forward to it." Lin Yu smiled.

"I'll let you know." Mandzukic used a lot of force in his hand, but how could he be Lin Yu's opponent compared to strength, his hand was pinched so painfully that he had to withdraw his hand.

'Hehe, it's more than strength, just let me see how you score goals, you can't be too bad as my successor at Chelsea.' Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Mandzukic snorted coldly and stood on the court with his teammates, he was full of anticipation and decided to teach Lin Yu a lesson at the Bernabeu Stadium, so that Lin Yu would always remember his Mandzukic name.

From the start of the game, Chelsea put on a defensive posture, which is what most teams do when they come to the Bernabeu, but Mandzukic did not go back, he always stood in the front, between offside and non-offside, although speed is not his advantage, but there is no problem in being a bridgehead, he is excellent in heading, he can ferry the ball to his team-mates, and then form a quick counter-attack.

It is precisely because this is a set of defensive counter-attacking tactics that Mandzukic cherishes such tactics even more. It can also reflect the value of a striker, when the whole team pays attention to defense. If you can score a goal, the morale boost for the whole team will be immeasurable. It can also have a huge impact on the outcome of the game.

At that time, others will respect him more and pay more respect to him.

Of course, in the frontcourt, he strictly follows Mourinho's instructions, in addition to wanting to score, he must also learn to counter-rob on the spot and learn to intercept in the front, which is the striker Mourinho likes.

Although at this point, Mandzukic definitely can't compare with Lin Yu. But he is trying to improve, at least in the Chelsea team, he is more comfortable than under Pep Guardiola in Bayern Munich.

Mandzukic is no longer a child, so he understands that no matter how fierce the words with Lin Yu before the game, but when it comes to the game, he must not be hot-headed, and the media described this match as a heads-up between him and Lin Yu. But Mandzukic was unimpressed.

He always believes that the outstanding performance of a striker is inseparable from his teammates, and he is not arrogant enough to abandon his teammates to do it alone. He knew very well that if he wanted to fight Lin Yu, he had to get the support of his teammates.

In fact, why not Lin Yu? Do you think he can win every game on his own? That's impossible. Except for a few times when they went crazy to save the team, most of the time. The most praiseworthy point of Lin Yu is the tacit cooperation with his teammates.

Because it is a counter-attacking tactic, it is likely that he will have very few chances. But it doesn't matter, he just waits silently, waiting for the moment when the time comes, he is a killer, and he is going to kill people as soon as he strikes!

……

For the most part, Lin Yu's opponent was not Mandzukic, but the combination of Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic.

Mourinho's order to Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas was to prevent Lin Yu and the centre-backs from coming head-to-head as much as possible, otherwise it would be troublesome.

It's very simple, if the back makes a mistake, there are defenders who can come up, but once the defenders make mistakes, it is basically the door is wide open, and it is too unrealistic to rely on the door to block Lin Yu's shot in the future to save the world.

Chelsea's current centre-back duo is Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma, who are not bad at quality and can be said to be very strong, at least there is no second more efficient centre-back partner in today's football.

Although their fame is compared to Ramos, compared to David. Luis is a little worse, not even as good as the combination of Pique and Hummels, but the fame can't be eaten, the key is that it doesn't work in the game.

Cahill and Kurt Zouma are not worth much, but under Mourinho's tutelage, their abilities are surprisingly effective.

They're not that well-rounded, but they can keep a lot of strikers out of the ordinary.

But even so, in the face of Lin Yu, these two people are definitely not enough, really let them defend Lin Yu, even if they can do it when they have enough physical strength, but once there is a problem with physical strength, it will be over.

That's why Mourinho ordered Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas to block Lin Yu in midfield.

Like the two central defenders, Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic are not considered the world's top midfielders, although Xiaofa was once very close to the world's top, but it is a pity that it is completely abandoned in Barcelona, the midfield is not like a midfielder, the striker is not like a striker, and his talent has been wasted.

Nemanja Matic is the same, in terms of fame, he can't compare to Pogba, Modric or even Gundogan, but he is practical enough.

Both of these people are pragmatic, and they don't sound good, but they are very useful to use.

Lin Yu is invincible in La Liga, and there are many good midfielders, such as Barcelona's Butzques and Mascherano, as well as Atletico Madrid's Gabi and Thiago, but none of these people have really defended Lin Yu, maybe they have never concentrated on defense, they are more of a task to the defenders.

But this time it was different, Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas had a clear purpose, which was to block Lin Yu's path and keep him from approaching the penalty area.

Of course, Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas both understand that even if the two of them join forces, they may not be able to stop the monster-like Lin Yu, so the defense has to be methodical.

Fight for the body?

That's simply not possible.

Fabregas is not known for his physicality, but he is better known for his technique at his feet and his ability to judge calmly.

Nemanja Matic has a good body and a height advantage. But compared with Lin Yu, that doesn't work. It is estimated that his body should be wasted if he was hit twice by Lin Yu.

Spell technology?

That, of course, is not realistic. Lin Yu has more exquisite foot skills than Messi, and he has a very terrible speed, and it is unreliable to rely on technology.

So what does it depend on?

Brains, of course!

Defending is not a physical job, nor is it a technical job, but it is about blocking the opponent at the right time, causing trouble for the opponent, and doing the greatest thing at the least cost, which is the true meaning.

What to do?

Actually, it's easy to do, Cesc Fabregas has excellent passing skills and judgment. Matic has excellent heading ability and tackling ability, the two of them are combined, one makes a judgment, the other intercepts, as long as the ball can't reach Lin Yu's feet, then Lin Yu is no threat.

If the interception fails and the ball reaches Lin Yu's feet, it doesn't hurt, Matic can go up and interfere with Lin Yu. doesn't fight with Lin Yu, but he can use some small actions to make Lin Yu uncomfortable, and then Fabregas takes the opportunity to break the ball.

The combination of these two people can be regarded as a perfect match. If you really make a difference, you can really do something.

If this can be broken through by Lin Yu, then there is a final way. It's a foul, if you can't even foul it. That can also be combined with the central defender to pinch Lin Yu, anyway, it definitely doesn't give Lin Yu any chance to shoot.

This is a defensive strategy. It can be said that it has been done very well, if Lin Yu scores in this way, it can only be said that Lin Yu is too strong.

The strategy was set before the game and practiced many times on the training ground before it finally took shape.

Today's game is an attempt, a real battle, if it works, then to Chelsea's home Stamford Bridge, it can still be continued, maybe some reasonable improvements can be made.

……

After the start of the game, Chelsea left one Mandzukic in the frontcourt, and the rest of the team retreated, so Real Madrid must press up and attack, which is what Real Madrid is good at.

To attack the heart of Chelsea's penalty area, Lin Yu and his team-mates had to contend with four lines of defence.

The first is Mandzukic's interception in frontcourt.

This is relatively easy to deal with, because Lin Yu is stronger than Mandzukic in terms of speed and body, and when it comes to one-on-one, Lin Yu has never eaten and choked, so it is not a big problem to pass this level.

The second hurdle is the defensive line formed by Oscar, Hazard and Schurrle, which is a little more difficult, Oscar's interception ability is very strong, and Mourinho almost cultivates him into white and hard.

Eden Hazard and Schurrle were a little weaker defensively but aggressive enough that they fought very hard and often dropped back to help defend.

Lin Yu and Oscar faced each other, and a smile appeared on their faces: "Apprentice, you are trying to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors." ”

"You're not the same, hehe." Oscar smiled back at him, and then the two of them hit the bar.

Oscar tried to block Lin Yu with his body, but unfortunately he found that now his master is more able to use his body than before, and he doesn't need to use all his strength, just hit some parts of his body, which makes him uncomfortable, and he can't stop it directly.

Schurrle and Hazard came to help, but unfortunately they were more than brave and not resourceful. They all put the shovel neatly, but Lin Yu easily passed it.

The second level was successfully passed.

Lin Yu will face the third level composed of Matic and Fabregas next, Lin Yu did not particularly care at first, because Fabregas had played each other when he was in Barcelona, and he did not find out how strong this person was defensively, and the passing was good.

As for Matic, Lin Yu doesn't know much about it, so he doesn't know what Matic's strength is.

In Lin Yu's opinion, these are just two ordinary players who can no longer be ordinary.

Fortunately, Matic and Fabregas didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise, they would probably be so angry that they vomited blood, but they carefully studied how to deal with Lin Yu, and even regarded this as a mission, as revenge, but Lin Yu was good, and he didn't take them seriously at all.

It's like a person going to the enemy to take revenge, but people still think you're a beggar, and they just throw you two taels of money and send you away, that kind of humiliation is really not very fun.

……

Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas are concentrating on Lin Yu, so who will defend the rest of Real Madrid's players?

Rest assured, this is not a problem, Mourinho has already figured out how to deal with it.

First let Mandzukic drag Real Madrid's at least two defenders in the frontcourt, because with Mandzukic's ability, Zidane will never dare to send only one person to defend, if it is really done, Real Madrid will lose the goal sooner or later, they must send a close defense Mandzukic, and the other one will respond on the side, so as to ensure that the advance and retreat are grounded.

After that, since Oscar can't stop Lin Yu, he will simply target Isco, Pogba and Modric in the middle, and Schurrle and Hazard on the wing will also come back to watch out for Marcelo and Carvajal's breakthrough.

Oscar can't stop Lin Yu, but he has a lot of experience in dealing with Isco, Pogba and Modric are not afraid at all, these years of training have already made him grow up thoroughly, and he has to thank Lin Yu, it was Lin Yu who taught him how to defend with his body, and if he uses his body to deal with the enemy.
