After thinking about it again, Zidane finally chose a compromise approach, attacking, but not attacking too fiercely, and achieving a balance between attack and defense.

In this way, the defense will not be too leaky, it is not easy to concede goals, and the offensive will definitely have more chances than the defensive counter-attack.

Of course, this is just his idea, whether the reality is like this or not, it will have to wait until the game starts to see, after all, Zidane has not encountered the current situation very often, his team generally has a very large advantage, and it is rare that there will be similar times when you have to rack your brains to think about countermeasures, in terms of experience, he still lacks something.

Afterwards, he told his players: 'Just remember to don't concede a goal, it's a deliberate effort to keep us motivated, and secondly, it's to score as early as possible, which can destroy the fighting spirit of the Chelsea players, no matter how iron-blooded they are, there will also be a rout, people are still people after all. ”

……

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, as Lin Yu said, Chelsea adopted a strategy of defending and counterattacking, which Zidane also judged correctly, but whether his next strategy was correct or not, it will take time to prove.

It can be said that during this period of time, the game fell into a state of anxiety.

Chelsea's defense is very solid, but the attack is a little weak, and if you look at Real Madrid, the attack is not the strongest, the defense is not the strongest, and now it is between the two, and the game is not very smooth.

It was Chelsea who had the first chance to score, and a counter-attack resulted in another free-kick up front, a little further away. It is about 30 meters away from the goal.

It was Cesc Fabregas who stood in front of the ball, and if he took the free-kick. Most of them will choose to play indirectly, and that's why they do. Mandzukic is very closely guarded, and everyone knows that in the penalty area, although Mandzukic's threat is not as big as Lin Yu, it is absolutely impossible to ignore.

The ball is off.

"Oh, Mandzukic! Mandzukic's header! He actually grabbed this header under the sandwich of two people! Oops, it's a pity, it's a pity, the ball was magically saved by Mignolet, what a chance. ”

Neutral commentary likes to watch the excitement. Whoever performs well has to be praised, whether it is Mandzukic's strong header or Mignolet's beautiful save, he admires.

Mandzukic was very upset that the goal was not scored, and Hazard came over to comfort him and said: "Don't worry too much, it's not your problem. ”

Indeed, this is really not Mandzukic's problem. He's done the best he can be, but who knows that Mignolet is better than him.

Shaking his head helplessly, Mandzukic shook off the chagrin in his heart, and he gritted his teeth. I plan to never waste such an opportunity next time, absolutely not!

However, although he thought well, it was a pity that the next game time. But he was fully into the rhythm of Real Madrid, and he missed a great chance to score. It's even harder to find another one.

Chelsea, after all, are playing on the counter-attack. This tactic requires the opponent's mistakes to match, and if the opponent does not make mistakes, the striker will be very depressed.

On the contrary, Real Madrid gradually found a sense of rhythm in attack.

In the 60th minute of the game, Bale held the ball on the right flank, cut straight at Luke Shaw, and then connected past Kurt Zouma and headed straight for the penalty area.

It's a pity that Matic caught up at this time, a flying tackle, scared Bale to jump up in a hurry, and at the same time the ball was also wide.

Although he didn't concede the ball this time, he missed a great opportunity to break through, and he had to knock the ball across to Isco in the middle.

Isco took the ball and volleyed a shot that was of good quality and went straight to the corner, but Cech was very focused, jumped up and plucked the ball away.

"Gee, Real Madrid also missed a great chance to score, it looks like this will last for a long time, the second half will not be like this, right?"

Mandzukic in the front court breathed a sigh of relief and didn't score, so it's good, there is still a chance.

What he is most afraid of now is that after he wasted the opportunity, Real Madrid scored instead, in that case, he will become the sinner of the team, and there will definitely be a lot of media critics after the game, he is not Lin Yu, he does not have such a strong heart and endurance, and he will really collapse if he doesn't do it.

In fact, it was not just him, all the Chelsea players breathed a sigh of relief and did not concede a goal, which is the best.

Mourinho stood up and sat back down, and he also knew that if the goal was scored, then Chelsea would have no chance, after all, the opponent was Real Madrid, and it would be a death to let the opponent score two goals away from home.

Well done Matic!

Well done Cech!

Jose Mourinho praised his heroes in his heart and Chelsea fans shouted the names of the two men.

……

At this time, people seem to have felt the tense atmosphere of this game, the tense atmosphere, as if the weather is approaching with a storm, there is no wind in the air, the silence is terrible, and it is as if something is blocking the chest, and the breathing is not smooth.

"Perhaps this game will be the toughest game of the season for Real Madrid."

The game continued, and the players on the field did not have any special reactions, after all, at this time, they had completely invested in the game, and it was impossible for them to think about other things so much.

In the end, what do others think of this game, and what will be the final result, it is useless to think too much, and now the common idea of both sides is.

"You can't concede a goal, you have to score a goal!"

In contrast, Chelsea's desire to score is probably a little stronger, because if they can't get on the scoresheet, they will be eliminated, and that's what they know they are.

But scoring goals is not something you can do if you want to, and it's a tight game. But the more players played for Chelsea, the more they found that Real Madrid's attack went on with the clock of the game. On the contrary, it became more and more intense, and they defended very hard. Not to mention the counter-attack, so although they wanted to score in their hearts, they had to face the reality and were pressed hard in their own half and could not move.

This situation lasted until the 78th minute of the game.

The score has not changed, 1:1, it can be seen that both sides have played very hard, but they have not conceded a goal, which is good, for Real Madrid. If the match had ended with this scoreline, the last game would have been victorious.

But the more this happens, the more nervous it becomes, because you can't make a mistake at all, and a mistake can eventually lead to being dragged into overtime, or simply being defeated by the opponent, and no one wants to see such an ending.

Mourinho was clearly a little unable to sit still, and he began to mobilize his troops. Ready for a substitution.

Willian, Salah, and Lukaku are warming up, and Mourinho is obviously going to fight, and the last ten minutes, if he doesn't fight again. Then it was all over, and he had to make some crazy decisions.

When the game went dead, he immediately opted for a substitution.

Nemanja Matic, Schurrle and Luke Shaw were substituted. Willian, Mohamed Salah and Romelu Lukaku come on.

That leaves them with three defenders at the back. In the midfield position, Cesc Fabregas is the only one. And he's not a purely defensive player.

Mandzukic and Romelu Lukaku were up front, with the more physical Salah replacing the in-form Schurrle, while Willian and Oscar played in a double midfield.

In the face of Mourinho's substitution, Zidane also immediately made personnel adjustments, if you change the offensive player, then I will change the defensive player, and I don't believe that I can't cure you.

He replaced Isco and Luka Modric with Khedira and Gundogan, and it became a back three.

I have to say that his substitution method is still very targeted, in this substitution adjustment, he did not lose to Mourinho, but he did not change it simply enough, because Mourinho directly used up the three substitutions, and he was still a little hesitant, so only two people were replaced.

Maybe the result of a game is caused by the difference of one person.

After the substitution, Chelsea's attack suddenly became fierce, Real Madrid's attack began to suffer, even if it was a back three, but it still couldn't stop Chelsea's crazy attack, they didn't care about defense anymore, because there was no time.

Because of this, Pogba had a great chance to shoot in the last few minutes, but unfortunately he kicked the ball away in the face of an empty goal.

"Oh, if this goal goes in, this game will be over, Lin Yu planned a counterattack, and passed the ball to Pogba, empty goal, empty goal, no goal, how regretful it would be if it was eliminated."

Before Pogba could recover from his frustration, a frightened Chelsea were given an equally brilliant opportunity.

It was still a free kick.

Perhaps for Chelsea, if they want to score a goal for Real Madrid, they can only rely on free-kicks.

The ball was still sent out by Fabregas, and then Mandzukic competed for the top, but at this time, Lin Yu had returned to the penalty area to defend, and at this time, the opponent must not be allowed to score, Lin Yu has to fight even if he fights hard.

Mandzukic definitely couldn't compete with Lin Yu, and the two jumped up almost at the same time, but Lin Yu was obviously a head taller than him, and then cleared the ball out of the circle fiercely.

However, after the ball was cleared, it landed at the feet of William, who swung his leg directly and shot at goal.

The ball didn't go in, but it hit the hands of the Real Madrid player.

At this time, there was some confusion on the pitch, with Chelsea players complaining to the referee and asking for a penalty, while Real Madrid players also argued that it was not deliberate handball.

However, no one expected that in the chaos, Oscar came out, he realized that the referee had not blown the whistle yet, that is, it was still game time, and seeing that no one was going to grab the ball in the penalty area, he subconsciously pumped it.

It was too easy and too sudden, and Mignolet didn't make any moves because he was distracted.

As a result, when the roar of Chelsea fans rang out from the stands, the Real Madrid players realised that it was too bad that someone had taken advantage of it.

The referee quickly blew the whistle and pointed his left hand to the centre circle to signal that the goal was valid.

"The goal works! The goal works! Oscar has made a meritorious service! Oscar has made a meritorious service! It was a sneak attack that cost Real Madrid, who could have qualified, but now had to be dragged into extra time, which is really sad. ”

"Really, I don't know what the gang of people are doing, the referee shouldn't let his guard down if he doesn't blow the whistle, how can Real Madrid make such a mistake, hell."

Whether it is a neutral commentary or Real Madrid's commentary, they all feel a little sorry for this goal, after all, this goal was a little wronged, Real Madrid's defense has done its best, but at this time it fell off the chain, which really shouldn't be.

Some Real Madrid players went to the referee to argue, and some even started to complain to each other, and the scene fell into chaos anyway.

"Shut the fuck up!" Lin Yu was furious and said angrily: "It's my fault for losing the ball, I didn't react, don't talk about it anymore, it's not that you've been eliminated, there's still overtime to play!" (To be continued......)
