"Cristiano Ronaldo...... It's a foul! Azpilicueta was a little slower again, and he should be glad the referee didn't pull out the card, and there were already boos at the Bernabeu. ”

"From the game until now, we haven't seen any special effect for Linsen to replace Baines with Azpilicueta, the young Spanish defender is too wolf against Cristiano Ronaldo......"

……

There was not much suspense, and the two teams started a white-knuckle battle on the flanks from the very beginning of the game.

Whether it is Real Madrid or Manchester City, the strongest point of attack is on the side, Bale vs. Ronaldo, Robben vs. Kaka, occasionally because of the change of position may meet different faces, but in addition to Ronaldo's strength is one line higher, basically the opponents they face are impossible to make themselves too easy.

However, the situation on the field is still biased in favor of Real Madrid, and the reason lies in that line.

Cristiano Ronaldo's line.

And this is exactly what Lin Sen is most worried about.

Real Madrid and Manchester City, regardless of the bonuses brought by the experience, in fact, on the card, Manchester City is not inferior to the opponent, and even stronger than the opponent in some positions, but Manchester City has an advantage and a disadvantage in the lineup, that is, there is no "sir" level star like Ronaldo in the Manchester City team.

Whether it is David Silva, Suarez or even Bale, these people cannot be compared with the current Cristiano Ronaldo for the time being when they have not yet reached their peak form.

The reason why this is an advantage is because football is a team sport, and anyone's top-notch may be a hidden danger, and everyone wants to hold the thighs, but if the thighs are too thick, so thick that the arms can't twist the thighs, it becomes the opposite. When Jose Mourinho first went to Chelsea, he faced a bunch of big names and said something that seemed arrogant to others: I am a decorated manager. And you are nothing. People think it's Mourinho's personality, but it's really just a way of coaching, and if you can't control the big names, then the big names will stop you in turn, and more than one.

And the reason why I say it is a disadvantage is because there are exceptions to everything. That's when the thigh is one of the thickest in the world, and it doesn't twist with the arm at every turn, then. This thigh is the best game-breaker.

The so-called game-breaker, simply put, is a player who has the ability to change the game in any situation.

Just like now.

Real Madrid and Manchester City have won and lost each other on various fronts, but under the same conditions, it is difficult for Manchester City to restrain Ronaldo, not because they don't want to, but because it is extremely difficult.

Lin Sen thought about a double bag or even a triple bag. For example, when facing Barcelona in Malaga, Linson often asked his players to use the "three missing one" method to deal with players like Aguero and Messi, but now it is different, Manchester City is not Malaga. Malaga can come together and put all their energy on defending, which means that Linson has enough manpower to defend, and Manchester City, Linsson can certainly do the same. But it's hard to do that, because City still have to attack and have to attack.

Aircraft artillery is not impossible to use to defend the homeland and the country. However, it is more suitable for siege and land.

If Lin Sen puts too many manpower on Ronaldo, then it means that there will be a lack of manpower in other positions, if Real Madrid is just like other teams that rely on big-name stars, then this method may work, but Real Madrid is not, Ronaldo to Real Madrid may be described as a starry moon, but it is definitely not to the gap between Haoyue and the light of fire.

Therefore, Linson can only bite the bullet, and the only strengthening measure is to let Bale's frequent retreat and Azpilicueta form a double insurance, of course, this will come at the cost of the loss of the left wing. It's just that such a remedy still treats the symptoms rather than the root cause after all.

As the game progressed, Ronaldo, who was obviously in excellent condition, became more and more unscrupulous, and the shape of the game began to change from bias to Real Madrid to a complete tilt, Lin Sen's face was solemn, and he set his eyes on another person on the field.

Robben.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid's number one star is Cristiano Ronaldo, but who is Manchester City's number one star? This is a debatable question. For fans, the criteria for the number one star is simple, whoever can score the most goals and score the most goals is the number one star, but since last season, Manchester City's goals have been unusually scattered, with Suarez as the top scorer, followed by Arjen Robben and David Silva...... The difference in goals is not even three, let alone the more spread assists. For the manager, the number one star means the most important player for the team, which is also difficult to define, Kompany at the back, Robben on the wing, and David Silva at the heart of the organization can be regarded as the most important players.

But in this game, the most difficult task is David Silva, but it can only be Robben who has a similar role to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Not only because Robben happens to be opposite Ronaldo, Bale on the other side has more defensive tasks than Robben, but also because Robben is the closest player to Ronaldo in Manchester City's team.

This distance does not refer to fame, but also to the ability to break the game.

Robben, who has the so-called almost inexplicable in-cut, in Linsen's memory, after transferring to Bayern Munich, has repeatedly used such moves to open the door to victory for the Bundesliga giants. In this game, Linsen also pinned his hopes on the Dutchman, because he knew that in the Manchester City team, Robben's desire to win is probably the highest in the Manchester City team, who is more wishful thinking than his own wishful thinking.

Because, Robben's last club was Real Madrid.

Moreover, the process of Robben leaving Real Madrid was not pleasant in any way.

Last season, before Robben transferred to Manchester City, the Dutchman was even in the squad of the then Real Madrid coach Pellegrini, and he was excellent in the pre-season warm-up, not only Pellegrini made it clear that Robben was in his new season squad, and even Ronaldo, who had just transferred, made it clear that he wanted to see Robben stay, but in the end, Robben still left the Bernabeu, because, Real Madrid's transfer, not Pellegrini has the final say, nor Ronaldo has the final say, but Baldano has the final say, Or maybe Florentino has the final say.

Due to Linson's "turmoil", Robben failed to meet another former Real Madrid player Sneijder in the Champions League final at the Bernabeu last season, but now, Robben has such an opportunity.

It's just that, from the current point of view, Robben's wishes are good, but the reality is cruel.

Due to Real Madrid's wingers Kaka and Ronaldo's frequent changes, Robben will face the opponent's left-back Marcelo more often on the side, and Marcelo, who is known for his ability to assist, should not be an obstacle for Robben, at least not an insurmountable obstacle, but now, the Brazilian has repeatedly broken the ball from Robben's feet.

Looking at Robben, who was already a little on fire above his head, Lin Sen frowned a little.

In terms of the combination of midfield, the partner he chose in this game is no different from the previous one, basically an all-round midfielder and a defensive midfielder, and Mourinho is similar, but he is more daring, if Khedira is understood as an all-round midfielder, then Xavi Alonso is obviously not a pure defensive midfielder, but more like a hub.

Marcelo "defeated" Robben, this is just the appearance, the real situation is that Robben fell into the trap of the other party, because Mourinho did what Linsen wanted to do but did not dare to do, that is, multi-person packing, Robben dealt with not only Marcelo, but also the opponent's German midfielder Khedira.

As for Khedira, Linson doesn't think he's a decisive player, but Linson has always thought he's underrated. Just like this game, the midfield formed by him and Xavi Alonso is currently on par with the combination of Yaya Tourega and Xavi Martinez in Manchester City, of course, the so-called fight is not face-to-face, but refers to the role played by both sides in their respective systems.

Khedira can help Marcelo, but Xavi Martinez can't help Azpilicueta much, that's the difference.

The pitch continued to tilt, while City teetered.

In the 44th minute, just before the end of the first half, it was Cristiano Ronaldo, whose breakthrough finally cost Cesar Azpilicueta a yellow card, and at the same time, won a well-placed free-kick opportunity.

Lin Sen is not often nervous when the opponent takes a free kick, but at this time, he is inexplicably nervous.

Because, the Portuguese man on the field, the light is so bright, almost more than Mourinho on the sidelines.

For the free kick he won, Ronaldo certainly deserved it.

He picked up the ball, first stepped on the penalty spot a few times, then placed the ball very carefully, then took a few steps back and spread his feet in a slightly exaggerated arc.

This is known as the compass foot.

Many fans who don't like Ronaldo often ridicule the Portuguese's penalty posture, thinking that it is grandstanding, but in the current Lin Sen's opinion, he can't get up to ridicule at all, even if you don't like Ronaldo anymore, when he stands in front of the goal of the team you lead in such a posture, you will definitely not be able to laugh.

The wall is lined up, the referee takes a few steps back, and then, the whistle blows.

An arc pierced the night sky at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Then, the sea of stands at the entire Bernabeu Stadium suddenly rolled, and all the Real Madrid supporters stood up, applauded and chanted.

Cristiano Ronaldo!

In the midst of the deafening, Lin Sen, who was standing on the sidelines, did not look at Mourinho who raised his arms not far away, nor did he look at the Real Madrid players who were hugging him excitedly, he just glanced at Robben who was standing not far from him, and looked at him with his hands on his hips, his face was cold, and then, the light flashed.

Ronaldo, still broke the game.

The score became 1-0.

According to Linsen's own script, in the first half, Manchester City should try not to concede a goal as much as possible, and then in the second half, Manchester City can strive to score as many goals as possible with a better mentality and conditions, but now, in the first half, Manchester City still conceded a goal.
