In the Chelsea dressing room, Mandzukic was apologising to his team-mates and coach: 'I wasted the ball and I should have passed it. ”

Jose Mourinho has a smile on his face, he is a very strict manager, but at the same time he is a ruthless and kind manager, and the key is how the players behave.

"Mario, you don't have to feel so guilty, who hasn't made a mistake before, on the football field, shooting mistakes abound, even Lin Yu, there have been times when he missed a single shot. Although it is said that a good opportunity to equalize was lost, I think your mentality is very good, you know that you are wrong, just don't make the same mistake again, don't worry, they support Lin Yu, and our whole team also supports you! Mourinho smiled and patted Mandzukic on the shoulder.

No matter how much he thinks that Mandzukic is inferior to Lin Yu in his heart, but after all, Mandzukic is now his general, a striker he needs to rely on, as for Lin Yu, he is a friend, but at the same time an opponent, of course he wants to encourage and praise Mandzukic.

"I understand that you are desperate to prove your ideas and want to compete with Lin Yu, but in fact, it is completely unnecessary. We don't have to go head-to-head with him, as long as the team wins, you win, the team knocks out Real Madrid, you are the winner, understand? Mourinho added.

Mandzukic nodded, he admitted that he was a little too excited, in fact, the previous one was not a so-called mistake at all, he just wanted to score a goal with his personal ability, and then compete with Lin Yu.

But when he calmed down, he realized how stupid and ignorant his approach was, even if the goal was scored. Others will still praise Lin Yu's goals for being more beautiful, and he is just eating ready-made meals. It's just an assist from someone else.

Thinking of this, Mandzukic gradually calmed down. Now things are not too bad, just one goal behind, as long as you perform well in the second half, it is not that there is no possibility of winning, Lin Yu is just an ordinary person, and he is not really a god.

Seeing the change in Mandzukic's expression, Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he was most worried about was that Mandzukic had to fight Lin Yu to the death, it was a meaningless thing at all. Instead, he will be injured.

After putting his mind at ease, he began to arrange tactics: "Everyone did a good job in the first half, basically blocking Real Madrid's attack, as for Lin Yu's goal, I don't blame you, I can only say that Lin Yu is too strong." In the second half we have to work harder to get a goal back, but only if we don't extend it any further, of course. Otherwise, we will be passive, and I believe that Zidane is not a general, and he must have analysed everything that could have happened in the second half by now. So don't be careless. ”

It's also strange to say, when he was in London before, Mandzukic heard Mourinho say that Lin Yu is amazing. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he had a feeling of wanting to scold his mother. He even felt disgusted and irritated when he heard Lin Yu's name.

But this time he didn't feel that way. He listened carefully to Mourinho's words, and there was no disgust at all.

In fact, he understood that through the goal in the first half, he did see Lin Yu's terrible, so naturally, he didn't hate that kind of boasting very much, because deep down in his heart, he already felt that maybe Lin Yu was really such a terrible person.

……

After the start of the second half, Chelsea still played step by step, Mourinho did not specifically formulate defensive tactics against Lin Yu, because Mourinho guessed that Lin Yu could not continue to be so crazy next, after being injured on the field, there will always be some cowardice in the heart, whether you want it or not, it is the body's instinctive reaction in order to protect itself.

He just let Ivanovic and Luke Shaw keep an eye on Reus and Bale, because he was worried that Zidane would change his tactics in the second half and let Reus and Bale get closer to the midfield to play with Lin Yu, in that case, even if Lin Yu was not as crazy as before, the threat would still be the same.

In fact, he guessed correctly, Real Madrid's style of play has really changed as he imagined, and if he hadn't made a judgment in advance and told his players, it is estimated that there would have been some chaos on the field.

That's what a famous coach, a seasoned coach can do.

If it weren't for Lin Yu, I'm afraid that Zidane really can't fight Mourinho, after all, this Chelsea team itself is not weak now, plus Mourinho, it's really hard to deal with.

Mandzukic will still be back to help defensively, which is something that Chelsea players have to do, and in Jose Mourinho's side, even if you're a world-class superstar, you have to do some dirty work.

Lin Yu was already the World Footballer of the Year when he was at Chelsea, but even then, he would go back to help the team defend, and he did that, and Mandzukic had no reason to refuse.

What's more, Mandzukic wants to compare with Lin Yu in everything, and he is also trying to make the Chelsea players recognize his efforts and forget Lin Yu's mark on Chelsea.

It wasn't very successful, but he worked hard and his team-mates saw it, so Mandzukic still had a lot of support within the Chelsea team.

Mourinho has a lot of strikers under him, but the reason why he is willing to let Mandzukic always start is actually very simple, it is because Mandzukic is obedient, can understand his tactical essence, and can do what he arranges.

Although this man is not the most needed striker in his tactics, he still has a lot of affection for this man.

If the disobedient player can solve the team's problems directly like Lin Yu, then Mourinho can ignore it and let him make trouble, but if you can't, then you have to be obedient and don't make trouble all day long.

It's not easy to be a big coach, and Mourinho has had failures in the past, but he has taken that failure as an experience and a lesson.

……

Chelsea's defence is still very solid, Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic were not discouraged by Lin Yu's breakthrough in the first half, after all, they are not children anymore, what is a loss? If you lose, you have to die or die to play your temper. That's really brain-dead.

They adjusted their mentality, and instead became more grounded and stable. In the first half, I had a fluttering experience because I defended Lin Yu for a while, but now. They won't do that, they realize that Lin Yu is terrible, even if it is an injured lion, it is still a lion, not to mention that according to Real Madrid fans, Lin Yu is not a lion, but a magic dragon, even if he is injured, he can directly slaughter the city.

Be careful! Be careful! Be careful!

Anyway, Lin Yu can't be allowed to score again. Can't let Real Madrid score again, Lin Yu can make his head bleed for the sake of scoring, they can also fight hard for defense, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Lin Yu's iron-blooded spirit was taken away from Chelsea.

Reus and Gareth Bale were close to the middle and had a couple of clever links with Lin Yu, but Chelsea responded in advance, so the ball was intercepted on several occasions as soon as it was passed.

'It doesn't look like Mourinho is going to rest on his laurels, he doesn't look like he has changed his tactics. is still a solid defensive counterattack, but in some parts, he has adjusted some defensive strategies, and I don't know if Lin Yu has the ability to score another goal. If one more goal is scored, the win is basically sealed! ”

"It seems that the injury still has a certain impact on Lin Yu, and he is not as easy as it seems."

"yes. was hit like that, and whoever changes it will have a shadow in their hearts. It is estimated that your jaw will hurt even if you try hard. Don't underestimate those superficial wounds that pull the wounds. It will still affect the play. Especially for a technical player like Lin Yu, a little injury may make his skills out of shape! ”

"Zidane asked Reus and Bale to help him because he couldn't play the strength of the first half to get past five levels and six players."

……

The commentators seemed to care about Lin Yu very much, and it seemed that Lin Yu really had a shadow in his heart, so he didn't dare to be reckless.

In fact, they were wrong, Lin Yu is not working now, he is looking for opportunities, and now the Chelsea players are concentrating, and it is actually not cost-effective to exert force at this time.

If you describe it in terms of attack and defense data.

Lin Yu's attack power is 100 when he exerts his strength, and Chelsea's current defense is 90, he may be able to score goals, but it will definitely not be so easy, after all, the gap between 100 and 90 is not too big.

What is Lin Yu waiting for now? What he has to wait for is the moment when Chelsea's defense declines, for example, when the physical strength declines, for example, when there is a flaw in the defense when counterattacking, then Chelsea's defense will become 80, or even lower, and at that time, it will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He doesn't care what the explanation says, he can't hear it anyway, and he doesn't want to think about it, because everything is going according to his steps, as long as Real Madrid doesn't concede goals, this game can be won sooner or later.

……

This game, although it has always presented an offensive and defensive situation, may not be interesting in the eyes of many fans, but those who really understand the ball are enthusiastic and excited.

The duel between the strongest attack and the strongest defense, even if it is not a goal, is actually very exciting.

Watching football is not just about looking at goals, including passing, organization, defense, and saving aspects, otherwise, football will simply change to a shooting battle, everyone only plays forwards, not defenders and goalkeepers, and at least dozens of goals can be scored in a game.

And the key drama of this game, the forward duel between Lin Yu and Mandzukic, which has been hyped before the game, is actually not so boring.

Judging from the data, Lin Yu had a total of three shots on goal in the first half, two on target and one goal, which was terrifyingly efficient, but it also confirmed the terrible Chelsea defense.

On the other side, Mandzukic also had a triangular shot, also with two shots on target, although there was no goal, but it seemed that the gap was not far away.

In such a comparison, it seems that Lin Yu is not much stronger than Mandzukic.

If you want to say that, Lin Yu's fans are not convinced, what does it mean that it is not much stronger? The goal is a real gap, Lin Yu can score a goal in such a grim situation, but Mandzukic can't even score a single goal, this gap is not big.

The fans who supported Mandzukic said that Lin Yu had the support of his teammates, Real Madrid played offensive tactics, and it was strange that Lin Yu did not score, while Chelsea played defensive counterattacks, and Mandzukic could only rely on himself if he wanted to score.

Both sides were not convinced, and the neutral fans were starting to stand on the sidelines, and most of them hoped that Mandzukic would score a goal so that the game could be more exciting, and that script was good enough.

But reality is not a script after all, no matter how hard Mandzukic tries, but he is facing a backline composed of Ramos and Varane after all, he is not Robben, not so fast, if you want to pass these two people directly, it is still not easy.

What's more, in the World Cup, Ramos and his teammates stood in parallel positions, one was passed, and the other could only stare dryly.

But this game is different, either Ramos is in front, Varane is behind, or Varane is in front and Ramos is behind, the two people have always formed the best position to make up for the defense, even if one of them is passed, the other person can be made up in time.

Mandzukic is best at heading, not passing. (To be continued......)
