Real Madrid and Valencia officially kicked off in the second half of the first leg of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, and Real Madrid played the game that fans in the stands wanted to see, and they consciously stepped up their attack.

But as the offense progressed, there were problems with the organization of their offense......

Xavi Alonso did a good job of defending and playing long balls, but his direct playmaking in central midfield was not good enough, with players with that talent sitting on the bench.

Immediately, the live director gave the camera to Real Madrid's substitute, and gave it to Kaka and Ozil respectively.

Kaka's expression was a little gloomy, in order to participate in last year's World Cup in South Africa, he concealed his injury, so he insisted on participating in the World Cup of the Brazilian team in the closed field, and the follow-up problems were all paid by Real Madrid, and his form plummeted after recovering from surgery, and the main position was replaced by Ozil, who was once thought to be bought as a substitute.

Mesut Ozil has also been in good form lately, and Kaka is starting to worry about whether manager Jose Mourinho will adapt tactically to the stronger Mesut Ozil in such a crucial game......

In fact, Mourinho is struggling on the inside.

Kaka and Mesut Ozil, although both midfielders, have different functions.

Kaka is the more capable of scoring in the midfield position, while Mesut Ozil is the kind of attacking organiser who can make complex attacks simple......

With his team behind, Mourinho really struggled to decide who to put off the bench.

However, he covered his mouth and said to his assistant Faria, "Tell Kaka and Ozil to warm up together." ”

Half a minute later, the camera focused on Real Madrid's bench again, with Kaka and Mesut Ozil getting up from the bench at the same time and following the fitness coach to the warm-up area.

Many commentators have given their own analyses after seeing this scene.

Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor analyzed: "Real Madrid at the beginning of the second half did give us a bright feeling, the desire to move forward is stronger, but the lack of talent in the attacking organization, Xavi Alonso is a good choice, but compared to this job, defense and scheduling are what he is good at, and it is Kaka or Ozil who is more suitable for organizing attacks on the field......"

Guest partner Andy Gray said: "Yes, if Real Madrid's attack is to be more layered, it has to be replaced by a pure playmaker, so ...... The question is, who to replace? ”

'According to Jose Mourinho's style of coaching, if nothing else, a defensive midfielder should be removed.

Martin Taylor looked at the stats that had already been prepared - when Real Madrid were behind, Mourinho's 83 per cent choice was to remove the defensive midfielder and add an attacking player.

The game continued on the pitch, and Real Madrid lacked an authentic attacking playmaker, and the attack did not have very good attacking opportunities at all, except for Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria, who relied on their individual ability to find opportunities on the two flanks.

Of course, Real Madrid still created a great opportunity.

Cristiano Ronaldo swooped in from 28 yards after a sudden lateral dribble down the left flank of Azpilicueta and Cazorla.

The shooting effect is very high, if it weren't for Wang Xiaolei to make a key save, the score would have become 2:2

After this problem, Valencia's defensive system was conscious of Cristiano Ronaldo's intention to make a similar breakthrough.

The change worked well, but it hurt the Real Madrid players who wanted to equalise urgently.

Because if they want to win against Valencia at home, they have to equalise first, otherwise it's all just talk.

Real Madrid were in high spirits in the second half, but after several waves of attacks failed to score, the Real Madrid players behaved as Mourinho feared, their confidence dropped significantly, and their forward passes became hesitant.

Real Madrid lack a real playmaker at the moment, but if they want to maintain the quality of their attack, they have to take off a defensive player, but the problem is that Valencia is like a spring squeezed down, and no one knows when they will explode.

Mourinho shook his head and smiled bitterly, the team with Ailo is really willful.

Whether it is an offensive strategy or a defensive strategy, it can bring a huge threat to the opponent.

There are plenty of players with this kind of threat in Europe's top teams, but there are very few players who can put a lot of pressure on opponents like Iro.

Valencia had a huge advantage over Real Madrid 2-1 in the two legs of the Champions League semi-finals, and they were very comfortable under Elo.

And in such a relaxed state of mind, it is also conducive to them to play better.

Especially the young players on the pitch, the likes of James Rodriguez, Jordi Alba and Cesar Azpilicueta, the three youngest players in the pitch.

Real Madrid didn't dare to make too much defensive moves on the defensive end, after all, Iroh had scored two direct free kicks in a row in the first half, and no one dared to pack the ticket that Ielo would not score another goal, reproducing the classic scene of Mihajlovic scoring a hat-trick of free kicks in Serie A.

Reminiscent of Elo being a well-known set-piece master in world football today, Real Madrid's defenders do not dare to 'commit crimes against the wind'.

Soon, Valencia, who had the lead in the score, regained the initiative on the field.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo was unhappy with Eiro's brace from a free-kick, he had too little support up front......

As the game wore on, Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to defend back to increase his chances of stealing.

Kaka and Mesut Ozil, who had been warming up on the sidelines, were not called back by their assistant coach until the 70th minute of the game, and they warmed up for more than 20 minutes......

In terms of the choice between Kaka and Mesut Ozil, Mourinho finally chose Kaka, who proved himself in key games.

Hearing the arrangement of the coaching staff, Ozil had to return to the bench depressed.

At this time, the game was raging on the field.

Cristiano Ronaldo was back in the back of his team-mates three minutes after he last had the ball, and he used his chest to unload Xavi Alonso's long ball from the left near the touchline before preparing to pick up speed.

In the face of the young Azpilicueta, he poked the ball forward with his toes, but what he didn't expect was that Azpilicueta was accurate in anticipation and stretched out his foot to kick the ball out.

The ball landed right at the feet of Cazorla, who came to help the defence, who passed the ball to James Rodriguez.

Valencia's transition from defense to attack was so fast that Real Madrid didn't have time to foul until David Villa's stop was slightly larger and Khedira was kicked to the ground.
