Unlike the previous games, the third round of the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad was the last to be played, so those teams that have already finished their third round of matches have begun to pay attention to this game, and it is boring to be idle anyway.

Under the high level of media attention, Pogba started this game and played a very important forward position.

So some people began to wonder again, didn't Zidane say that he had given up on Pogba? Why did you start him again today?

Some people also expressed schadenfreude - hehe, Pogba is on the field, Real Madrid's game today will definitely backfire, and it is estimated that it will be the same as Barcelona, and it will be overturned in the gutter.

But no matter what the outside world thinks and how to guess, Pogba himself is full of confidence today, and he will prove himself and defend his reputation through this match.

And the other players of Real Madrid don't want to learn from Barcelona to play thrilling games, and if they can win the game, they must win.

Sometimes, though, the more you don't want things to go, the more they will go the way you don't want them to go.

Real Madrid are in trouble away from home.

……

Perhaps because Real Madrid's attack was too sharp, Real Sociedad gave up attacking from the start and focused entirely on defense.

Although Real Madrid is not afraid of dense defense, after all, in this case, it will become much more difficult to score, so the game has been going on for 30 minutes, although Real Madrid is basically playing around the Real Sociedad goal, but it has not been able to score for a long time.

Of course, Real Sociedad didn't score either. They haven't even had a single shot on goal so far. But people are not in a hurry, what they want in this game is just a draw. Unlike Real Madrid, Real Madrid wants three points.

At the critical moment, Lin Yu stood up and relied on his violent long-range shot to help Real Madrid score a goal in the 35th minute of the game, and the score was finally ahead.

I thought that Real Sociedad should find a way to attack after falling behind, but what is unpleasant is that Real Sociedad doesn't seem to care about conceding a goal at all. They still follow their own train of thought and honestly defend intensively.

Looking at it, even if they lose, they can accept it, they just don't want to lose too much.

In fact, according to this rhythm, most of Real Madrid's players are satisfied, as long as they get three points, it doesn't matter what the score is, but some people are not satisfied.

Paul Pogba started the game, albeit with few mistakes. But it's been almost forty minutes, and he hasn't had a good performance, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Now that he and Lin Yu have decided to fight with Real Sociedad, aren't you defending intensively? Then we will go in until you cry, and see if you dare to continue like this.

……

Although both Lin Yu and Pogba want to continue to score, it is because of Real Sociedad's dense and hard-working defense. Until the end of the first half, the score could not be extended again.

The score of 1:0 can satisfy Zidane. It can also satisfy most of Real Madrid's players, because such a score can give Real Madrid three points. Won three times in a row in the league.

They weren't worried about being equalised by Real Sociedad, so how could they be worried? Look at the other side, the whole first half, let alone score, not even a decent shot, such a team, what are you afraid of him doing?

This mentality is too flat, but it loses the fighting spirit and morale it should have, and because of this, although Real Madrid had a big advantage in the first half, in fact, many times the ball was upside down in the middle and back, and it felt like it was about to become Barcelona.

This is originally an away game, and if you still maintain this mentality, then the more you play, the more bored you feel, and the more you feel unenthusiastic, so only Lin Yu scored a goal in the first half, which is really normal.

That's it, at half-time, Zidane also told the players that it's good to keep the current rhythm, we don't need to score so many goals, as long as we can get three points.

Zidane's ideas are good, and as a head coach, his ideas are not wrong, but this makes Lin Yu and Pogba hard.

Lin Yu is a goal maniac, and he will be unhappy if he doesn't score.

Pogba was starting for the first time, and if he ended the game like this, people would only say that he really didn't make any mistakes, and although he didn't make a mistake, he was just a soy sauce player.

So he has to score goals, or assists, whatever he has to show what he's capable of.

As a result, in the second half, the situation of the game was still not any better, and even Real Madrid's tempo slowed down a lot, and Real Sociedad gradually seized the opportunity to counterattack.

As soon as Zidane saw this, he knew that he was in trouble, he was letting the team maintain the rhythm, but he didn't expect the team to play more and more casually, which is definitely a bad sign.

……

Soon, trouble came and Real Sociedad finally seized a counter-attacking opportunity and passed the ball wide to the middle, which would be very dangerous if it could not be stopped.

The worst ball was blocked, but it was more troublesome.

Because it was David, who started today, who stopped the ball. Luiz, he pushed too his foot, and the ball didn't kick out, but straight into his own goal.

"Oolong ——!"

"At the end of the 70 minutes, Real Madrid made a mistake and they gave away an own goal!"

'Luiz, I used to be frizzy when I was at Chelsea, but I didn't expect it to be the same now, this ball shouldn't be blocked.'

"Actually, you can't blame him, if he doesn't block this ball, it will be at the feet of the opponent's striker, and he can score the same goal! At the end of the day, it was still too lax, and in the second half Real Madrid was like a walk on the pitch. ”

Seeing this, Zidane shook his head helplessly, he knew that it was his own judgment that caused the current situation, and it was still too late to save it. He felt it was time for Pogba to come off the pitch and rest.

So Royce, Khedira, Hesey, Isco all went to the sidelines to warm up, no matter how you look at it. It's all about changing the midfielders.

Pogba also noticed the change and his mentality started to go wrong. I was a little anxious, and this was in a hurry, and the old problem came again, and the reckless long-range shot would not grasp the opportunity at all.

Fortunately, Lin Yu ran over at this time and said to Pogba: "Don't be nervous, follow your pace, it's faster to go down if you panic, I'll go talk to the boss." In the next game, let's cooperate more and try to overtake the score again with dribbling and long-range shots, I believe you can do it. ”

After speaking, Lin Yu ran directly to the sidelines, near the bench, and muttered a few words to Zidane.

Zidane nodded thoughtfully.

……

Soon, Zidane made a substitution, but it was not Pogba who was replaced. Rather, there is clearly no fighting spirit of Bale and Cristiano. Ronaldo, these two are Lin Yu's good friends, Lin Yu naturally hopes that they can stay on the field, but the problem is that these two people are too poor today. And there is a problem with the mentality, probably because of the consecutive starts, so I am a little tired. It's also understandable.

There is no shame in being substituted for seventy minutes.

Royce and Hirsch take on the field. Replaced Cristiano. Ronaldo and Bale's location.

At this time, the commentators and reporters disagreed with the substitution.

'I wanted to go without scoring for so long. The one who should be substituted the most should be Pogba, who had a mediocre performance on his first start, and was not at all as amazing as he expected! ”

'Pogba is a lot better than before, but it's not enough to start for him, starting at Real Madrid, it's not enough to be decent, you have to contribute to the team. Zidane asked him to stay on the pitch, are you still expecting him to perform some wonderful performances? ”

The commentary was relatively restrained and did not say anything excessive, but the reporters in the media table had no scruples at all when they spoke.

"Stupid substitutions, the most deserving substitution should be Pogba, not Ronaldo or Bale! Look at Pogba's aimless long-range shot just now, he has lost the calm mentality that a player should have, and I am sure that if he continues to stay on the pitch, it will only make Real Madrid appear more passive, and the attack is not to be played! He will definitely drag Lin Yu down, definitely! ”

Does Zidane want to show that he still trusts Pogba in this way? In fact, it is completely unnecessary, if this leads to the team's last loss, can he afford to pay the responsibility? ”

"I think after this game, Pogba will definitely be the target of public criticism again, and even Lin Yu can't help him."

"Zidane is also whimsical, does he really think Pogba can save the team and let him stay on the field?"

"Well, at least Zidane still has a substitution, so if Pogba doesn't perform well, he can adjust in time, hopefully not too late."

……

It seems that he has to go against reporters, Zidane actually made another substitution adjustment five minutes later, this time it was not Pogba, but David, who did not perform well today. Luiz was replaced by Real Madrid's backfield Dinghaishen Needle Water Master Ramos.

"Crazy! It's crazy! It's understandable to replace Luis and let Luiz calm down, but I still think it's Pogba who should be off the pitch more. ”

Most of the people in the media table felt that Zidane had made a stupid move, and he used the last substitution, that is to say, now in the midfield, you can only ask Pogba, Pogba does not perform well, then the team has to finish, perform well, and the team can win.

This game is in the hands of a player who is not favored by them, this kind of thing is really unbearable.

In the eyes of reporters, Zidane is too timid, instead of changing defenders, it is better to take Pogba, and then go to Benzema, let Lin Yu drag back to play a shadow striker, this is a tactic used by Real Madrid before, and it is very useful to deal with dense defense.

But what's the use of keeping Pogba on the pitch now? Really.

And if you keep Luiz, Real Sociedad may still plan to counterattack because of the instability in your backline, which is the legendary lure the enemy deep, and once the opponent comes out, the goal will be scored.

But now it's good, as soon as Ramos is on the table, Real Sociedad simply gave up the counterattack completely, with a score of 1:1, they don't suffer at all, they can hold a draw at their home stadium, and they can also give the fans an explanation.

……

What the reporters are thinking, and what the Real Sociedad manager thinks, anyway, we have equalised, so there is no need to take any more risks, just hold on to the goal and hold on until the end of the game.

Your midfielder Paul Pogba didn't have any bright performances today, so we don't have to worry about him making any nice passes, don't worry about it at all.

If Real Madrid can be held to a draw, it will be a great honor for the whole Real Sociedad, and the games after this season will definitely play better because of this.

On the sidelines, Zidane was also a little nervous, although he listened to Lin Yu's advice and did not replace Pogba, but even he himself did not dare to guarantee whether Pogba would be able to make any outstanding performances, after all, he had not fully integrated into the team.

However, considering the serious consequences of replacing Pogba today, it would completely make the player lose confidence, he still accepted Lin Yu's suggestion.

"Fight for breath, kid, it's time for you to make a name for yourself!" (To be continued......)
