The mood of Aguero, Kompany, and Joe Hart is a reflection of the mood of the entire Manchester City team at this time. Some people are unhappy, some are angry, some are unwilling, and some are aggrieved, in the face of Lin Yu's two goals, their feelings can be described as extremely complicated.

This mood is expressed in the expression, and it is very clear to see. Manuel Pellegrini also knows that his players are emotionally problematic at the moment, but he really doesn't have time to worry about these things at the moment, the team is one goal down, and they have conceded two goals at home, which is a mistake that should never be made in the knockout stages of the Champions League, and now the question is that they have made mistakes, how can they make up for it?

All-out offense? Yes, it is possible to score goals this way, but the problem is that once a full-scale attack is launched, the likelihood of conceding a goal also increases rapidly, and it is already fatal to be scored two away goals by the opponent, and if one more goal is scored, it will be really desperate.

So defend it all-out or keep it as it is? But the problem is that if you do this, not only will you not be able to concede a goal, but you will also be less likely to score, so the score will still increase.

Tangled! Pellegrini's brow furrowed.

Although he knows that the emotions of the players are not right, but after all, the first half is about to end, and now the emotions should not affect the game, or the key is to come up with a way to deal with it, he believes that his players can adjust themselves, after all, they are all players who have experienced big battles, and failure is not once or twice.

……

At the end of the first half, both teams returned to the dressing room to rest, but Pellegrini did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, he became more nervous and anxious because he hadn't thought of the right way to deal with the game.

In the dressing room of Real Madrid. Zidane praised the performance of the whole team, especially Lin Yu's performance. In fact, for Lin Yu, it doesn't matter if he doesn't praise him, after all, Lin Yu basically has the opportunity to play, and he will perform very well. But Zidane is a shrewd man, and he found that Lin Yu was actually a little childish in some ways, such as this guy just likes to hear others praise him, just like those students with excellent grades in school like praise from teachers and parents.

Saying a few words is completely different from not saying it, which will make Lin Yu feel very comfortable in his heart. Lin Yu is happy, the natural state is good, Lin Yu is in a good state, it is not a Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, and God blocking and killing God.

In this game, to be able to get two away goals at the Etihad Stadium, basically the task is done, at least in Zidane, he will not put too much pressure on the players. He doesn't say you have to win by a big score, his request is simple, just don't lose this game.

Such a requirement allows Real Madrid's players to play with little psychological burden. Naturally, the performance is excellent.

Although he said that he only needed a draw, he actually hoped to win away from home, but this cannot be said easily. Otherwise, the pressure on the players will be great, and he still wants all the players to behave normally. Instead of rushing for the sake of victory, in the end the victory was not obtained. A draw is also lost, which is not a good deal.

Of course, Lin Yu's goods can be looked at differently.

He told Lin Yu in private: "You are the one who wants to monopolize the Champions League Golden Boot, don't you want to score a few more goals?" ”

……

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and the two sides changed sides again in the second half. In the stands, the Manchester City fans were still very active, and they really couldn't get used to Lin Yu's triumphant face after scoring a goal, so as soon as Lin Yu got the ball, they would boo and scold, as if the game had just begun.

At this time, Real Madrid fans began to remain calm again. Some of them were eating, some were drinking, and some were watching the game intently. Now was not the time for them to roar, but they believed that the time would soon come again.

Lin Yu's two goals in the first half have already filled them with confidence, and they don't have to worry about their team losing to Manchester City in this game. Now they just need to watch the game quietly and support their favorite players with their hearts, and support their favorite teams.

There is no need to pray for God's help, and there is no need to pray for Lin Yu to suddenly go berserk, everything is logical.

They don't have to worry about what accidents will happen at all, they can enjoy this game with a play-watching mentality, and they believe that it will definitely not be them, but their opponents.

……

Manchester City, of course, are on the fire, with a goal down and two away goals, and if they can't get a draw or win at home, they can basically be eliminated from the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It's just a pity that Pellegrini is a person who is not adventurous, he is too cautious and too forward-looking.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City began to attack for about five or six minutes, pressing very high, attacking very fiercely, taking advantage of the home advantage, they almost suppressed Real Madrid.

But after only six minutes, they were back to their previous posture and restless to continue attacking.

Because they were almost stunned by Real Madrid's sudden counterattack, the rapid counterattack has always been a hidden killer of Real Madrid, in the Lippi era, this move is clear, that is, a quick counterattack, but after the Zidane era, the rapid counterattack has become less, but it has been replaced by continuous suppression and attack, the original weapon was hidden, but there was no rust, and when it was taken out and used at a critical time, the threat was greater and more sudden.

The trident of Bale, Reuss and Lin Yu is very fast and has very good skills at the feet, and as long as one of them gets the ball, then Manchester City's backline will be under great threat.

In the fifth minute, Real Madrid played a quick counter-attack, but Bale's shot flew off the crossbar, which made the Manchester City players break out in a cold sweat. Among them, the most nervous is Manuel Pellegrini. He was originally thinking of taking a risk, but he quickly changed his mind. Let the team retract the defense.

Manuel Pellegrini thinks it's his calmness and sanity, after all, it's always better to lose 1:2 than 1:3 or 1:4.

But in Lin Yu's view, Pellegrini's approach is undoubtedly stupid to the extreme, in the face of Real Madrid, there is no difference between losing 1:2 and losing 1:10, Manchester City wants to eliminate Real Madrid to advance, there are only two options, or at least draw Real Madrid at home, so there is a 10% chance of promotion. Either a home win over Real Madrid would increase the chances of promotion to 30 per cent.

And if they lose 1:2 at home, it is not that Lin Yu looks down on Manchester City, they can basically declare the end of the Champions League.

And Lin Yu feels the funniest thing, you won't lose the ball if you retract the defense? Really, Lin Yu is that kind of person? I'm very fond of people who take advantage of people's illness and want people's lives, so if you retreat to defense, that's good, we will naturally have to change our tactics.

Lin Yu looked at Zidane on the sidelines. Zidane was spotted giving him a thumbs up. This is not a compliment, but to tell Lin Yu to agree to attack! This is the code they have negotiated in private.

After all, Zidane is not good at directing the players on the field on the sidelines, even if he shouts loudly. The players on the field may not be able to hear it, but Lin Yu is different, Lin Yu is on the court. With him to call the shots, it would be relatively easy.

The Real Madrid team, who had been given instructions, changed their tactics. The previous defensive counterattack was changed to an all-out offensive posture.

Because Manchester City chose to retract their defense. So at this point even David. A defender like Luis dares to rush directly to assist.

Including Cesar Azpilicueta and Carvajal, who started at home, they all pressed up frequently, completely using themselves as wing-backs.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that only five or six minutes had passed in the second half, Zidane would probably have begun to make substitutions, because if it was necessary to strengthen the attack, Marcelo's role would be greater, but it doesn't matter now, because Real Madrid's offensive ability in the front court is strong enough.

Royce, Lin Yu, Bale plus the former golden boy Isco, this is a very enviable frontcourt attack group.

And don't forget that Pogba and Modric, who are in charge of the midfield position, are also strong in attack, and both of them have very strong long-range shooting ability, which really gave them a chance, and it is estimated that Manchester City's goal will be beaten into a sieve.

……

Seventy-five minutes into the game, Real Madrid has basically taken the full initiative on the field, suppressing the opponent in the half and unable to come out, many commentators even exclaimed with emotion, this is no longer the Etihad Stadium, it has become the Bernabeu Stadium.

How can a home team be so crushed? And Manchester City isn't the kind of team that likes to defend yet.

Zinedine Zidane chose to make a substitution at this time, replacing Carvajal, Azpilicueta went to play on the right, Marcelo came on to play on the left, and the front court replaced Isco, who had a little less physical strength, and replaced the more impactful Benzema.

The attack was already strong enough, and his substitution made Real Madrid's attack go to another level.

Just five minutes after Benzema came on the pitch, he scored!

Lin Yu retreated behind Benzema, received a pass from Luka Modric, successfully got rid of the defense of Manchester City's midfield, and even shook Yaya Toure, and then when everyone thought he was going to put on a good show again, he chose to suddenly stuff the ball straight to Benzema.

Benzema, who was almost ignored, did not stop the ball and picked it up, and then the ball bypassed Joe Hart's defense and crashed into the corner of the goal.

An inexplicable shot, let alone Joe Hart, even a top goalkeeper like Buffon is helpless.

“3:1！ Benzema scored! Benzema, who has been on the pitch for less than six minutes, has scored! Now, Real Madrid are 3-1 ahead of Manchester City and, more importantly, it's away, they have three away goals, and Manuel Pellegrini's side is finished! ”

"Some people say that it is stupid for Benzema to stay in Real Madrid to play as a substitute for Lin Yu, but at this moment, Benzema's performance is better than some players who play the main team, his brilliance is even more shining, and he locked the win!"

"I don't think there's any suspense anymore, the chances of Manchester City trying to turn the tables at the Bernabeu are almost zero!"

"Mansour wanted to buy Lin Yu before, and now it seems that this is definitely a wise decision, if the transfer is really successful, maybe it will be Manchester City who will win today! After all, of today's three goals, two were scored by Lin Yu and one assisted by Lin Yu, and he almost single-handedly tore up the hopes of the Manchester City team! ”

"Damn, Pellegrini's tactics are too conservative, what are you afraid of, you should have pressed up and fought with them earlier, even if you really lost in the end, you can be regarded as having worked hard, how unwilling you are now."

Under the backdrop of the commentators' excitement, helplessness, or emotion, the players of Real Madrid gathered together excitedly and threw the goal-scorer Benzema high, because they knew that there was no suspense in the two-legged game, and even if Manchester City could play exceptionally in the next leg, they would not be able to turn the tables at the Bernabeu Stadium early.
