A hotel in Donetsk, Ukraine.

"There's trouble on the other side."

Manchester City played Real Madrid for more than ten minutes in the second half of the second leg, Vilanova said with a smile on his hands, and next to him sat the hottest manager in Europe, Pep Guardiola.

In the same second leg of the game, Barcelona, who are away from Ukraine, will undoubtedly be able to face tomorrow's game with a more relaxed mentality, otherwise, Guardiola and Vilanova, who are some kind of Cheng Dù on the current Barcelona team and vice navigators, will not have the heart to watch the other teams play at this time.

Of course, it is said that it is a match of other teams, but in fact it is closely related to Barcelona, because if there are no surprises, the winner of this game will be their opponent in the next round.

And this accident is that they lost in Ukraine, and they lost many, many goals.

Pep Guardiola has no habit of taking any opponent lightly, but if Barcelona still need to be cautious when they are 5-1 up, then this is not called caution, but not confidence. If he didn't even have that confidence, then Barcelona wouldn't be able to sweep across Europe now.

Guardiola did not answer the words of his old friend, he just remained silent and continued to fix his eyes on the TV screen, and Vilanova, who was familiar with Guardiola's temper, did not care and continued to talk to himself.

"Lin's strategy in the first half was a bit risky, but it was a mistake, and I have to say that they were lucky, Adriano scored a beautiful goal, but it was not a goal that can be scored at any time. However, the response of the other side was a little sluggish. But speaking of which, putting myself in my shoes, I didn't expect Manchester City to dare to start a life-and-death posture with the opposite side at the beginning, and the process was so smooth. Coach Lin really hasn't changed at all. ”

Hearing Vilanova's assessment of Linson, Guardiola smiled.

Vilanova's words, naturally, are not unfounded. Last season, didn't Lin Sen rely on such an "accident" to make his dream of "Triple Crown" come to naught? His team always seems to be able to give you a fatal blow in your most relaxed moments, which has almost become one of Linsen's coaching characteristics.

In this game, Manchester City knocked on the door of Real Madrid in less than ten minutes of the opening game, and it was this goal that made Real Madrid, which still had some advantages. Completely fell into passivity.

Because now, it has become Real Madrid who needs to go to great lengths to find goals.

However, for this game, Guardiola still can't decide which side will qualify in the end, although there is some surprise, but judging from the current state of the game, there is no need to be surprised who will qualify in the end.

Of course. From a personal point of view, Pep Guardiola still prefers Manchester City to win, for many reasons, and there is no need to shy away from it.

The first is the most realistic factor. Manchester City are easier to deal with than Real Madrid, and even if Barcelona humiliated Real Madrid with an outright big win in the first leg of the season, this still does not change the fact that Manchester City are better to deal with than Real Madrid. Secondly. It's Jose Mourinho. Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho don't get along because of their tactical styles, it's a well-known thing, so to speak. At the first opportunity, no one will let go of the opportunity to humiliate the other. But if you have to play four or five games a season, for the fans, of course, it is a gluttonous feast, but for both sides, it is a bit of a visual fatigue.

In the end, Pep Guardiola would prefer to touch Manchester City, not without a little personal thought.

Because so far, the coach with the best record against Guardiola is not Mourinho, who is widely regarded as an archenemy, but Linsen. Although it is a bit far-fetched to say this, because Linson and Guardiola have actually only played each other four times, and one time is actually not counted, that is, the Gamble Cup, and the other three duels, the two are evenly divided, and what makes Guardiola care is the order.

From victory to defeat -

City Stadium, Manchester.

Mourinho's brow is like a barometer of the game.

When the brow is stretched, the game is smooth, when the brow is slightly wrinkled, the game is difficult, and when the brow is tightly locked, the game is in danger.

And in this game, Mourinho's brows have been locked since the eighth minute, and there is still no tendency to stretch until now.

The game has been played for the seventy-sixth minute.

The score remained unchanged.

The biggest advantage of having a superstar is that a superstar tends to solve most problems, especially if the superstar is super enough, and Real Madrid have already tasted that benefit, just in the first leg. It's just that everything is two-sided, there are good and bad. Once the superstar is in trouble and he doesn't want to step aside, then the superstar becomes a super-problem for the team, and Real Madrid are suffering from it.

Here and now.

"Cristiano Ronaldo...... He shook off Vidal's defence and fired from distance...... Too much deviation! ”

'Mesut Ozil passed the ball to Ronaldo on the left, Ronaldo tried to pass, too hard......

……

Here's the thing.

In the half-room of midfield, Mourinho made precise tactical arrangements and delivered the most passionate speeches, but even then you can't guarantee that you will see the results every time, or that everyone will listen to you.

Everyone can see that the current Ronaldo has fallen into a strange circle of "wave shooting", but even so, the Real Madrid players on the field, when passing the ball, the first choice is still the Portuguese. Then, the effect can be imagined.

Lin Sen, who was standing on the sidelines, had a calm expression, but in fact, his mood could not be calm.

Even if he knew that Real Madrid's attack had encountered a problem, even if he knew that Ronaldo had fallen into his trap, but every time Real Madrid attacked and Ronaldo shot on goal, he still couldn't help but hold his breath without a breath, and then breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of thing has been going on for most of the game, and it seems that if the game is not over, I don't want to get rid of it.

The reason for this, of course, is the score.

One to zero, enough for Manchester City to win the initiative, but one to zero. It also makes this initiative exceptionally fragile.

It only takes one goal for the roles of both sides to change again.

After Ronaldo handed the ball to the ball boy behind the goal again, Lin Sen, who was relieved, glanced at Mourinho, who was still shining not far away, out of the corner of his eye.

Thankfully, I don't have Cristiano Ronaldo.

The knife is too sharp, and the more cautious it becomes. Or this is the reason why those famous swords and swords in the legend are always in the hands of famous masters, because if you don't have that ability, let alone kill the enemy, you can't kill yourself first.

The same applies to football.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the sharpest knife in football today, and it looks like it is unmatched. It seems that as long as you have this knife, it is not a problem to defend any kind of defense. But now, the knife has become Mourinho's problem.

The solution is actually very simple, Mourinho must know it, but Linson is very sure that Mourinho will not do it.

Replace Cristiano Ronaldo?!

When Real Madrid needed to score the most? Crazy?

In fact, judging from the number of jù, although Ronaldo was a little prodigal in this game, he was not bad, and he could even be said to be one of the best players in the game. It is a table that can make the media play "turn the tide" or "it is difficult to support alone" after the game. But now, it is this kind of expression that makes Mourinho helpless.

If Ronaldo's performance is poor, then Mourinho can replace the Portuguese as a matter of course. Even if Ronaldo is dissatisfied, he can only accept the facts. But now, if you replace Cristiano Ronaldo, between Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo. There will inevitably be some estrangement.

The estrangement can be big or small, but in the case that Mourinho has been in charge of Real Madrid for less than a season, and Ronaldo is the "darling" of Real Madrid from top to bottom, it is obvious that this gap can only be counted as large.

How big is it?

Others don't know for the time being. Anyway, Lin Sen knows, otherwise, how dare he conclude that Mourinho, who is "God first and me second", will not replace Ronaldo?

As the game drew to a close, Manchester City, who played against Real Madrid in the first half, finally began to shrink their defensive line, and Linson also began to replace defenders, with Javi Martinez replacing David Silva and De Jong replacing Adriano...... Contrary to Lin Sen's actions, Mourinho also gave it a go, Ronaldo can't be changed, it doesn't mean that other people can't be changed.

At the last moment of the game, Real Madrid even had only two authentic defenders on the field, at this time, Real Madrid, like an overweight giant hammer, has no room to consider whether it can be retracted if it is smashed out, and the purpose of this hammer is to smash the shield in front of him......

All the fans in the stands of the entire city stadium have already stood up and jumped and sang.

The game wasn't over yet, but the atmosphere was breathtaking.

Not only in the stands, but also on the bench, in the coach's box, everyone stood up, just like in the penalty shootout, watching the situation change on the pitch with a nervous face.

Unlike Mourinho, who was half-squatting on the sidelines on the other side, Linsen put his hands in his pockets, and his movements looked very chic, but in fact, he was just hiding his slightly trembling hands.

'Kompany broke the ball off the touchline, Xavi Alonso couldn't wait for Ramos to come up and serve, he threw the ball directly to Kaka, the Brazilian wanted to break through but didn't have a chance, De Jong got tangled up with him......"

"Cristiano Ronaldo came up to catch the ball, does he have a chance to turn the tide?"

"It's so hard! Standing in front of Ronaldo, there are three Manchester City players, and the Portuguese don't even have room to pass the ball, let alone shooting! City's defense was too dense and another touchline ball. ”

"This could be Real Madrid's last attack. Mesut Ozil crosses the ball into the box...... Benzema! Header! The angle is too positive............"

……

Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart held the ball firmly in his arms and then bent down to his knees in front of the goal, not getting up for a long time.

There is no doubt that he is dragging his feet.

A frustrated Ramos came over and tried to pull up Joe Hart, but before he could get closer, he was blocked by David Luiz.

The smell of gunpowder rises.

Watching the referee rush over to stop the red-faced players on both sides, Mourinho, who was still half-squatting on the sidelines, was expressionless, but he had already shook his head in his heart. (To be continued......)
