After scoring two goals, Lin Yu, even though he didn't do anything, just smiled at the camera lens, which caused strong dissatisfaction among Manchester City fans, who felt that this was a provocation and ridiculed them.

No way, who let it only be more than 30 minutes, they have already conceded two goals, not to mention that this is still the Bernabeu Stadium, how to play the next game?

It's true that Manchester City has a strong squad, but isn't Real Madrid's squad more luxurious than Manchester City? Whoever has a stronger lineup than Real Madrid is purely self-inflicted.

The teammates rushed up to celebrate the second goal with Lin Yu, they still maintained a relaxed expression on their faces, but it was obvious that compared to the deliberate ease at the beginning, it was really easy now, after all, it was 2:0, as long as there was no big problem, winning the game, it would be easy, and now the next task is to ensure that the team does not concede a goal, after all, it is very disadvantageous to let the opponent get an away goal.

"Guys, see, I said a long time ago, Manchester City is an upstart, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Lin Yu smiled and said to his teammates: "Let's try hard to get them down completely, we are Real Madrid, no one can be arrogant at the Bernabeu Stadium!" ”

In fact, before the game, some teammates asked about Manchester City's situation, after all, Lin Yu used to be a Premier League player and had many battles with Manchester City, so Lin Yu told his teammates with a big grin that Manchester City is a paper tiger, and it will be broken when stabbed.

At that time, Lippi was also worried that Lin Yu's words would make Real Madrid's players underestimate, so he was a little unsure, and it was difficult to criticize Lin Yu. After all, everyone is on the rise, and he is afraid of demoralization.

The reason why Lippi was so worried last night. In fact, it is also related to Lin Yu's words, so after the start of today's game. He is still a little worried in his heart, but now, he is no longer worried, maybe Manchester City is very fierce to other teams, but when he meets Real Madrid, it is a paper tiger!

Completely different from what Lippi feared, although the players underestimated Manchester City in interviews before the game, they did not forget to take it seriously when they played on the field. They finally learned what it means to defy the enemy strategically, to value the enemy tactically, and to do it in the game.

Lippi is now thinking, why should I be afraid of Manchester City? We have a better hand than Manchester City! We have a thicker heritage than Manchester City! We are also better than Manchester City! It's still our home stadium, isn't it normal for us to win the game?

And Lin Yu's condition is so good today, what else is there to worry about?

For the team that wants to overthrow the old giants and rise to the top by itself, once the impact fails, there will be a sense of powerlessness. It's going to be in all aspects, defensively, offensively.

Manchester City today is the best example of this, they wanted to give Real Madrid a kick-off and a stormy goal. But the result was caught off guard by Real Madrid, and the next game was simply too painful.

Some players don't have the confidence they had at the beginning, while others don't admit their weaknesses. As a result, some players wanted to continue to attack more aggressively, while others cowered and did not dare to move forward. This chaotic rhythm has also made Manchester City suffer. The second goal conceded is actually the best example.

Not only that, but for the next ten minutes of the first half, Manchester City was almost overwhelmed, like a man who had been knocked to the ground, trying to get up, but was beaten by a raindrop of fists and had no chance at all.

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, all the City players let out a long breath of loss, feeling like they were all drenched and had a strange feeling for the rest of their lives.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that they did not concede a goal in the next period of time, which also makes them still have a trace of luck in their hearts, feeling that the end of the world has not yet come, as long as a goal can be scored in the second half, it does not need too much, as long as a goal, then it can occupy a more advantageous position in the situation, after all, away goals are very important for a team.

Some media outlets are also cheering City on Manuel Pellegrini as a master tactician at half-time, and many of the teams under his leadership have been outstanding in the second half despite their poor performances in the first half.

Even the on-site commentator said: "Although Real Madrid temporarily led with a score of 2:0 in the first half, this is a relatively delicate score, which is not safe for them, and in the second half, they need to make greater efforts, otherwise if Manchester City pulls back a goal, the situation will become very unfavorable!" ”

One thing that seems to have been overlooked by the media and the commentary is the current mentality of the players.

Manchester City's players are not good at playing against the wind, they were beaten again in the first half, and now they are in a state of trance, doubting everything about themselves, even if Pellegrini is very good and can give the players a blow at halftime, but he is not a god after all, not even a psychiatrist, so it is too difficult to make Manchester City return to normal in the second half.

On the other hand, Real Madrid, the players are still very satisfied with the current score, all of them are full of energy and confidence, and when they go back to the dressing room, they are all discussing how to give Manchester City a more violent beating in the second half, which is completely a sign of confidence and strength.

Comparing the two by two, in fact, how the second half will develop can already be seen very clearly.

It can be said that Real Madrid is bound to win this game, and a mere fifteen-minute break will not change anything, Manchester City wants to use this little time to rewrite their own destiny, which is tantamount to those high school students who have not studied hard for three years and want to be admitted to a good university, which is purely a pipe dream.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Real Madrid is a giant team with a very deep heritage after all, although it has not won the Champions League for more than ten years, but this kind of thing will also bring players strong self-confidence, plus recent seasons. There have been several chances to reach the last four, but what about Manchester City? It's just a simple nouveau riche. It's hard to even get to the quarter-finals in the Champions League.

Real Madrid players naturally have an absolute psychological advantage in the face of Manchester City. It's normal for them to be able to show confidence and fighting power.

And he hasn't won the Champions League for more than ten years, just like a hungry wolf who hasn't eaten for a few days, don't underestimate this hungry wolf's desire for victory, if you are not careful, you will be torn to pieces by it!

……

At half-time, Lippi was very calm, he was not overly happy or disappointed. Instead, he told the players: "Play like this, don't be proud, let Manchester City take a good look at what is called a big team and what is called a strong team!" Teach them a lesson! ”

Of course, Lippi from the bottom of his heart wants the score to expand, such as 3:0, 4:0, the bigger the score gap, the better! But he is not willing to put pressure on the players for no reason, which will not do the game any good, but will make the players lose their current ease and calm. Otherwise.

In the Manchester City dressing room, Manuel Pellegrini said to his players with a serious face: "Don't you feel ashamed? It's just a shame to feel ashamed! I told you that Real Madrid is not a team that can be beaten casually, and you should be fully prepared to fall behind! If you still want to have a face. Don't keep your head down, keep your head up, don't always look down on yourself. If you want others to look up to you, you have to look up to yourself first. Pat yourself on the heart and tell yourself. You guys are the best! Don't care if it's a big club or not, don't have any pressure, I don't ask you to score a few goals in the second half, as long as you can score one and rewrite the score to 1:2, I'm satisfied! ”

Pellegrini's words are not wrong, although Real Madrid is a giant, it may not be invincible, this newly formed Galaxy Battleship Phase III does not have the overwhelming advantage of the Barcelona Cosmos team at all, and it is not impossible to kill him.

So after listening to his words, the Manchester City players couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after carefully considering their performance in the first half.

If they try their best to fall behind, they have nothing to say, but the problem is that from the first goal of Real Madrid in the first half, they fell into a cycle of self-doubt, feeling that they are inferior to Real Madrid's players, that their club is an upstart, not as good as the traditional giants.

This is like a local tyrant going to a banquet of a wealthy family, it is simply all kinds of unconfidence.

Perhaps, as Pellegrini said, it's not that the strength is inferior to Real Madrid, but the mentality has long lost to the other party, when you think you can't do it, who can save you?

I have to say that Pellegrini is really a master of adjustment at halftime, he just said a seemingly innocuous word, but let the original heart of the seven up and down, completely unable to unify the Manchester City players, regain the confidence to win, Pellegrini said that only one goal is enough, but Manchester City's players think that they were humiliated by Real Madrid in the first half, must be an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

It was with this revenge mentality that everyone in the Manchester City players walked into the Bernabeu stadium with a sullen look on their faces, which seemed to change the atmosphere on the pitch in an instant.

……

Lippi sensitively noticed that Manchester City's expression was obviously different from the first half, and suddenly a little vigilant was born in his heart, and he hurried to the sideline and told his defenders to be careful of Manchester City's counterattack.

This was a subconscious move by him, but in the eyes of the Manchester City players, he thought that Lippi was starting to fear them, so their fighting spirit became stronger.

At the start of the second half, Manchester City turned on mad dog mode as if they had suddenly hit the chicken, and the crazy attacks came in waves.

The exuberant fighting spirit surprised Real Madrid's players and fans alike.

is also thanks to Lippi's previous reminder, otherwise Marcelo's side will definitely be directly beaten by Manchester City.

In just five minutes, City had three shots on goal, and each time it was of high quality, and if it wasn't for Casillas' excellent performance, I am afraid that they would have been scored.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Lin Yu gathered his teammates together, and he said: "Guys, the guy we trampled under his feet is now going to resist, what should we do?" ”

"Stomp on them!"

"That's right, I'm afraid of a bird, since they want to be tough, let's teach them how to behave! How dare you be so arrogant at the Bernabeu Stadium, it's really muddy! We have a saying in China that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, now we are the head of the earth, Manchester City is at most a snake in a flower dress, they want to make a mistake at the Bernabeu Stadium, that is purely looking for death! ”

"That's right, it's actually the other way around!"

Although Lin Yu did not wear the captain's armband today, in the minds of the players, he is the captain, and he is a captain who can make the team win.

Although Lin Yu's words were a bit arrogant, why couldn't they be like that? He is right, this is indeed Real Madrid's territory, Manchester City wants to pretend to be kings here, that is, not to take them in their eyes, not to give Manchester City a little color to see, then it will be in the future? It's a team that dares to come to the Bernabeu Stadium to go wild!

originally had a psychological advantage, coupled with Lin Yu's fanning of the flames, even Lippi on the sidelines could feel that his players were suddenly on fire. (To be continued......)
