'Southampton counter-attacked quickly and Real Madrid defended quickly.

'Kaka played the ball down the left and gave it to Eden Hazard.

'Carvajal has returned to the defense in place, Hazard has no chance, bring it back, Kaka diagonally on the left side to respond.

'Eden Hazard passes to the wing, Kaka catches the ball and then passes back to the middle.

"Beautiful one-two, Hazard catches the ball, takes it to the middle, and passes it again!"

"Ibrahimovic, a leak, behind you, Suarez, go in!"

"Suarez shook off Casillas and the ball went in!"

"Two to zero!"

"Oh my God, Southampton is 2-0 ahead in less than half an hour!"

"It's so exciting, it's so exciting!"

"The whole goal of Southampton just now, the passing and receiving coordination is very skillful, especially the continuous collision between Kaka and Hazard on the left side, which is very clever, helping Hazard get rid of the defenders and tearing apart the Real Madrid defense."

"Real Madrid were in too much of a hurry, they were too anxious to equalise after conceding the goal, which led to a lot of mistakes in midfield and Southampton seized a chance to counter-attack!"

"They should be more patient, after all, it's still early, try to avoid making mistakes and wait for the opportunity to equalize, instead of just thinking about scoring and equalising, only to be seized by the more patient Southampton again!"

"2-0, now the aggregate score is 4-2, Southampton has one foot in the Champions League semi-finals!"

"There is still an hour left, Carlo Ancelotti must be calm, the players of Real Madrid must not be in a hurry, take your time, with the attacking power of Real Madrid, it will be easy to score two goals in an hour."

"But if you make another mistake and get caught by Southampton again, the result will be doomed!"

With this round of analysis by the TV commentator, I saw that in front of the coach's bench of the home and away teams, the head coaches of both teams reached the edge of the command area, constantly shouting at the players on the field, and then gesticulating.

If Ancelotti, as the side behind by two goals, is in a hurry, it is understandable, then Bielsa's excitement is a little confusing, could it be that Bielsa still feels not safe enough with a two-goal lead?

The answer is obvious, yes!

The Argentine maniac stood on the sidelines, he just asked captain Manuel Neuer, Xavi Martinez and Varane in the backline, and Toni Kroos and Modric in the midfield, to stabilize the team's rhythm as much as possible, not fast, to be patient to control the ball in his own half, and ensure the defense first.

Real Madrid is a team that certainly has a lot of shortcomings and shortcomings, but their biggest advantage is that the players are super individual and can give you back a little sunshine.

In the face of such an opponent, the mentality is very crucial, if you feel that you can relax your guard by two goals, or even be careless, then you are not far from being reversed.

"Louis!" Bielsa turned around and shouted at the head assistant coach, Luis Bolini.

"I'm here!"

"At halftime, catch all their faults and talk about it, you must be cautious in the second half, and you can't be complacent just because you are two goals ahead!" Bielsa is even more worried now than she was before.

The leader is not easy, because you must always be vigilant to be overtaken by the opponent, and you have to watch out for the opponent's adjustment and adaptation.

"I understand, I'll go get ready right away!"

With that, Luis Borini called the two staff members and took the lead back to the locker room.

Bielsa continued to crouch back on the ground, his eyebrows furrowed high, his eyes glowing with wisdom behind his gold-rimmed glasses, staring at the court without blinking, as if he was a camera trying to capture everything he saw in his mind.

In the away team's command area, not far from where Bielsa was crouching, Carlo Ancelotti watched the game with a similar frown.

He's ambivalent!

It's not because the two goals are behind that it's contradictory, it's that it's always been contradictory.

The team he is in charge of now is strange, even deformed.

He has enough to make the whole of Europe fearful, but he has a weak and fragile defense, and he is seriously top-heavy, which makes him very embarrassed when arranging tactics as a manager.

It's like at the beginning, Southampton is on the attack, is he going to go head-to-head with the Saints? Or do you take a more secure approach and ensure your defense first?

If it is the former, with the Saints' equally best attacking power in Europe, can Real Madrid's weak defense be able to hold it?

And like now, two goals behind, Southampton retreated to the half, more of a central and backfield possession tactic, patiently following Real Madrid to drag the time, why did Bielsa dare to do this?

The answer is very simple, because Bielsa knows very well that the pressing and pressing of Real Madrid's front trident is completely based on mood, and it is disorganized and fights separately.

In this case, if Real Madrid wants to ensure that the midfield presses and presses, they have to press the midfield forward.

At the very least, Vidal and Di Maria will have to press one of them!

But as a result, there are only two players left in midfield, but Southampton have three players, and whether it is Toni Kroos, Luka Modric or Kaka, they are all very skilled players.

Three-on-two, Southampton's advantage is still obvious!

Also, Real Madrid's squad itself has its own problems.

Among the front three, in addition to Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are the types of players who rely heavily on passing from their teammates behind them, which makes Real Madrid's midfield have to be closely integrated with the front.

In this case, the ideal state of the back line is also to move with the midfield, to avoid the distance between the midfield and the defensive line, and there is a gap, but this is the most ideal state, in fact?

In fact, three of Southampton's frontcourt players have been eyeing Real Madrid's backline.

If nothing else, Ibrahimovic, Eden Hazard and Suarez, with these three players cruising around you, where does Real Madrid's backline dare to move? Who dares to press forward?

Marcelo and Carvajal were both involved in the attack, but they were beaten by Southampton and suffered a big loss!

If the defense line does not press forward, the midfield should be closely linked to the front, and the gap between the defense line will naturally widen.

Not to mention that Southampton controlled the initiative of the game, to some extent, as long as Southampton successfully pushed the ball into Xavi Alonso's midfield area, they could basically create a threat.

Substitution?

Who can I replace?

Who can be replaced?

Thinking of this, Ancelotti, who has always had a good temper, couldn't help but have the urge to look up to the sky and scold her mother!

Damn, this isn't a human thing at all!

What a fucking sin!

…………

…………

To everyone's surprise, after Southampton took a two-goal lead, Real Madrid had a counterattack, but the time was very short, probably only a few minutes, and it did not create any threat, but was almost counterattacked by Southampton again.

The first half ended with a score of 2-0 and both sides returned to the dressing room.

Fifteen minutes later, both teams were back on the pitch.

At half-time, Real Madrid made a substitution, bringing on Casemiro for Gareth Bale.

The substitution was clearly upset by the Welshman and booed the entire St Mary's stadium.

You know, in the first half, Gareth Bale was definitely the most proactive player in Real Madrid's frontcourt, whether it was in attack or defense, he made his own contribution.

Replacing him at this time does it mean that he wants to carry this black cauldron on his back?

But if you really want to find a sinner, why can't it be his turn?

Therefore, the Welsh people are nowhere to be seen, and they don't know where they have gone.

But Ancelotti didn't seem to have a choice, replacing Gareth Bale for Casemiro.

It was clearly a move to strengthen the midfield defence, with Di Maria moving to the right winger.

Real Madrid made a substitution, while Southampton did not make the slightest adjustment or change.

Bielsa's attitude should still be to wait and see.

The two sides played very hotly at the beginning of the second half, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who frequently shouted anxiously at his teammates on the pitch, and seemed to be a little impatient.

But when the ball finally came to his feet, he was a little impatient whether he was dealing with or passing, and some even simply hit the goal directly, turning into a wave shot.

The fans at St Mary's also responded to this by sneering at the Portuguese, which further increased the smell of gunpowder on the pitch, and even a bit of sabre-rattling.

In order to stabilize the situation, the referee also frequently took out cards, including Carvajal, Suarez, Azpilicueta and other players have received yellow cards.

But the real turning point of the game came in the 67th minute of the second half.

Real Madrid were awarded a free-kick in front of the penalty area, Xavi Alonso took a penalty and there was a scuffle in the box, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane both fell to the ground, and the referee awarded a penalty without a doubt, and gave Varane a yellow card.

The decision immediately caused displeasure among the Southampton players and boos the crowd.

However, the referee made it very clear that he saw a foul on Varane.

From the slow motion, it is shown that Varane does have a pulling move, but Cristiano Ronaldo's posture of falling to the ground is indeed a bit overdone.

In the end, the Portuguese took the penalty himself to make it 1-2.

The goal also put Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of Ibrahimovic in the Champions League scorer charts.

After pulling a goal back, Real Madrid's morale was high and they frantically attacked the Southampton goal.

There was a lot of noise in front of Southampton's door.

Thankfully, Manuel Neuer made a number of crucial saves, while Raphael Varane, despite a foul that led to the penalty, was also quite solid, plus an equally solid Javi Martinez.

Although Southampton has been under tremendous attacking pressure, they have repeatedly resolved the crisis and tried their best to keep the goal open!

Having steadied the defence and withstood Real Madrid's indiscriminate bombardment, Southampton began to look for opportunities to fight back.

In the 83rd minute of the second half, Toni Krosbourne's diagonal pass from the half sent the ball to the right side.

Sanchez, who came on as substitute Suarez, received the ball on the right flank, drove the ball forward quickly, cut to the right side of the penalty area and crossed.

Unexpectedly, the pass was a bit too big!

Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Kaka suddenly rushed up from behind, flicked his head at the incoming ball, and pushed the ball back into the middle.

I saw that although Pepe and Ramos pulled left and right, Ibrahimovic still came out of the crowd, met the incoming ball, and directly pulled his legs and shot angrily, and blasted the ball into the goal guarded by Casillas.

Three to one!

At the moment when he watched the ball go into the net, the Swedish center, clenched his hands into fists, raised his arms and shouted, like a fierce beast!

And this goal by the Swedish center forward not only helped him tie Cristiano Ronaldo in the scorer list, but also completely dispelled Real Madrid's fighting spirit to continue to fight back.

Two goals in less than ten minutes are almost unlikely!
