"Well done, guys, I'm so proud of you!"

Pep Guardiola was very happy with the result of the first half, although a goal was scored by Real Madrid, but it was harmless.

As long as they remain in the lead, the initiative in the second half will remain in their hands.

Pep Guardiola prepared several sets of tactics before the game, aiming at different situations.

Now that they are ahead, the second half tactics will have to focus on controlling the situation and consolidating their existing advantage.

On the other hand, Real Madrid's tactical options are very different.

Back in the dressing room, Zidane's expression was very serious.

He raised his hand to signal the noisy players to calm down:

"Hurry up and have a good rest, don't waste your energy, and listen to me next!"

After saying that, he quickly took out the tactical board, found a position facing all the players, and then began to compare on the tactical board.

"In the first half we didn't play the attack, there were some problems in the midfield, Modric, Isco, you two have to step up and share the worries of the team!"

Hearing that he had been named, Isco's heart suddenly struck, and he immediately became nervous.

"Yes, sir!"

Zidane nodded, and then drew Real Madrid's attacking line in midfield and asked him to play according to this routine.

In the first half, Real Madrid's lack of attacking firepower had a lot to do with Isco's erratic performance.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to make him move, and he cannot be completely stared at by the other party.

If he can't dribble and make dangerous passes on the pitch, it would be better to replace him with someone more suitable.

Real Madrid had Ronaldo on the bench, and if Isco's performance did not improve in the second half, Zidane would have had to play this card.

As for Modric, with his ball quotient, Zidane only made some requests, and the rest was not emphasized too much, with the opponent's ball quotient, even if he didn't say it, Modric would definitely be able to think of it.

In addition to Luka Modric and Isco, the two midfielders with attacking responsibilities, Zidane also made some demands on Casemiro.

Let him give full play to his advantages of good physical fitness and large coverage, assist his teammates when defending, and completely target the two most threatening points in Manchester City's midfield - De Bruyne and Lin Quan!

Yes, here in Zidane, he has positioned Lin Quan as a midfielder.

Because in the last game between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, he had seen Lin Quan's organizational ability on the wing, so he did not simply treat Lin Quan as a winger.

If this guy really attacks the goal with the ball, then he naturally needs defenders to defend, but if he plays the role of playmaker, then Real Madrid's midfielder must not have any hesitation and must stand up!

After explaining the midfield, Zidane glanced at his own backline with some headaches.

The duo of Ramos and Pepe had a pretty bad day, especially with the second goal conceded, which was a low-level mistake.

"Ramos, Pepe, forget the defeat in the first half, give me the spirit of 12 points, show full energy, play well in the second half, can you do it?"

Ramos and Pepe both kept their heads down, thinking that they were going to be taught a lesson by the manager with a hair dryer, but they didn't expect the manager to reprimand them.

This surprised them very much: "Don't worry, boss, I promise I won't let that kid succeed again!" ”

Pepe instantly came back to life with full blood, as if nothing had ever happened before.

This change in the face of Peking Opera made his teammates look at him one after another, this guy's face is too thick, right?

"Lin is very strong, don't try to go head-to-head with him, your job is to stop him, stop him from shooting, remember, don't blindly go out to grab the ball!"

Zidane didn't plan to say anything, but when he heard Pepe's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and he said a few more words uneasily.

"Ramos, don't rush to kick off the ball, we have to keep the ball at our feet and make the most of every attacking opportunity as much as possible!"

In the first half, after Real Madrid fell behind, the mentality of the players was more anxious, and several times after the defense was successful, because they were in a hurry to launch a counterattack, they went directly to the striker.

However, the success rate of this tactic was low, and most of their attempts failed, and they also returned the ball to Manchester City, allowing them to have more attacking opportunities.

Now that City are ahead, the second half should be unexpected, and City may try to control the tempo of the game, keeping the ball at their feet as much as possible and not giving Real Madrid too many attacking opportunities.

In this case, Real Madrid will have to improve their attacking efficiency.

After admonishing all the players in the central and backfield, Zidane set his sights on the three players in the front.

Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo are all some of football's biggest attackers.

However, in the first half of the game, the performance of the three was not particularly impressive.

Of course, this is due to the lack of support from teammates, and it is also related to their own poor form.

"In the second half, we needed to play a little more layered attack......

Zidane spoke about offensive tactics for five minutes before stopping.

"Do you understand your responsibilities?"

"Got it!"

"Okay, then rest in peace!"

Zidane finished speaking, he is actually not the kind of manager who is very good at boosting morale and saying impassioned words.

Even if he is allowed to continue, he will probably only be able to say something like 'come on' and 'work hard'.

But at this time, he actually needs to say something, because Real Madrid's morale is obviously a little low, and someone needs to stand up and motivate them.

Since Zidane has not taken on this responsibility, someone has to do it.

Ronaldo, who was lying down and resting, suddenly stood up and looked at his teammates.

"Listen, I have to remind you of one thing, we are only 45 minutes away from making history!"

Ronaldo's sudden speech surprised a lot of Real Madrid players.

They stopped talking privately and looked at Ronaldo in unison.

Ronaldo was not afraid of everyone's eyes, and he met these eyes and continued to speak:

'We have to give our best in the next 45 minutes, give our best and squeeze all the potential!

It's not just because we wear the Real Madrid shirt and represent this great team with a long history.

It's all the more because we're some of the best players on the planet and we're capable of doing that. ”

Cristiano Ronaldo's speech had a good effect, and the fighting spirit of many Real Madrid players was successfully stimulated by him.

"I know a lot of us have never been to a Champions League final and haven't been tested in such an exciting game, but it doesn't matter, I've had this experience and I'm going to lead us all to victory!"

The vast majority of Real Madrid's players are reaching the Champions League final for the first time, and tension pervades everyone's heart.

Ronaldo's words just now are like a lighthouse in the dark night, dispelling the fog, illuminating the direction of their prospects, and allowing them to find support.

Some players, especially the younger ones, started applauding enthusiastically.

This is the first time they have seen Cristiano Ronaldo as a true leader of the team, rather than just a high-value, capable superstar.

Seeing this scene, the expression on Bell's face was a little lonely.

He knows that he has completely failed in the competition with Ronaldo, and as long as Ronaldo does not leave, he will never be able to replace Ronaldo's position in the Real Madrid team.

Ronaldo was pleased with the results of his speech and continued:

"For many of us, this may be our only chance in this life, and if we miss it, then we will regret it for the rest of our lives!"

"So, bet everything we have and fight with all your might!"

"Fight!"

"Combat"

"Fight!"

The morale of the Real Madrid players has been completely boosted, and they all waved their arms and shouted, completely forgetting Zidane's previous advice to let them rest and conserve their strength.

……

The visitors' dressing rooms are not well insulated, and the commotion on Real Madrid's side is clearly heard by Manchester City.

"It seems that they have not been defeated, and the second half of the battle may be a little more intense than we thought!"

Hearing the movement from the dressing room next door, Guardiola, who had already finished talking about the tactical arrangements, quipped.

"Hehe, then let them be convinced and help them recognize the reality!"

City's squad is also so high that they don't even need to be boosted.

The fifteen-minute break ended quickly, and both sides quickly returned to the field.

Before kicking off, Lin Quan felt that someone on the other side was watching him.

When I looked up, I saw that Ronaldo was looking at him with a challenging gaze.

The look seemed to say, "Let's have a good match!"

Lin Quan raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Why not?

Beep!

With a long whistle, the second half of the Champions League final between Manchester City and Real Madrid officially began!

The two sides switched sides and Real Madrid kicked off.

Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the ball to Benzema, who passed back to Isco and rushed forward quickly.

At the same time, Ronaldo, Bale and others also pressed on at the same time.

It's not just them, Real Madrid's midfielders and even the players at the back are starting to press hard!

At the start of the second half, Real Madrid launched a big attack on Manchester City.

Here it comes!

The fans at the scene and in front of the TV felt refreshed, and they were all looking forward to seeing this round of Real Madrid's attack.

"This scene feels a little familiar!"

In the dugout at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola and the assistant coaches felt as if they had seen it, and Real Madrid seemed to have played the same way at the beginning of the first half.

Is this to take advantage of the fact that the players have not fully adapted to the rhythm of the game at the beginning of the game, and to catch Manchester City off guard?

This tactic is nothing new, and it is often used by teams in the game, and if the opponent is not focused enough and the players are busy getting into the groove, it is really possible to be caught off guard.

For example, the fastest goal in the midfield league was when Jiangsu Shuntian grabbed the opening and caught Guangzhou Evergrande off guard, and when most of the players of Evergrande did not have time to react, they sent the ball into Evergrande's goal with a few passes.

Real Madrid obviously wanted to do the same, but the actual effect did not seem to be ideal.

Isco managed to get the ball to Benzema, who was about to pass to Cristiano Ronaldo.

But at this moment, the experienced Kroos directly put a tackle and brought Benzema down with the ball.

Manchester City used a tactical foul to sabotage Real Madrid's attempt.

However, Kroos also received a yellow card for the foul just now, and for a midfielder, the price of this yellow card is actually quite large.

But fortunately, it was Kroos, not N'Golo Kante, who took the cards.

Kroos' defensive responsibilities in central midfield are not heavy, and it is unlikely that he will be sent off after receiving a second yellow card.

Manchester City's foul was still far from the goal, and after some discussion among the Real Madrid players, it was decided that Cristiano Ronaldo would take the goal.

Ronaldo took several steps back, stood in place with his legs outstretched, and looked at the goal with a resolute gaze.

The iconic gesture caused cheers from the audience, and some Real Madrid fans began to shout loudly:

"Get one!"

"Get one!"

Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kicks are still a big threat, and he has scored many times with them.

Among them, his iconic elevator ball can be said to have made many goalkeepers smell and change.

Keylor Navas is well aware of the strength of Ronaldo's free-kicks, so he is very serious when directing his teammates to line up the wall, trying to block all the angles of Ronaldo's shots.

Lin Quan and Aguero are relatively short, so they became the first human wall, standing not far from Ronaldo, symbolically interfering.

Ronaldo withdrew his gaze towards the goal, and his gaze stayed on Lin Quan's body for half a second.

Ronaldo knows that the guy opposite is also a free kick master, and even eliminated his Real Madrid with a stunning S-shaped free kick at the Bernabeu.

That game and Lin Quan's free kick can be said to be deeply engraved in Ronaldo's heart, so that he will never forget it in his life.

Thinking of this, Ronaldo plans to show a good hand to the other party and let the other party know that you are not the only one who will take free kicks, I will also, even stronger than you!

Retracted his gaze from Lin's body, took a deep breath, and after calming down, Ronaldo began to run!

One step, two steps, three steps......

His footsteps are getting faster and faster, and he is getting closer and closer to football.

When approaching the football, Ronaldo has already completed all the shots such as swinging his arms and raising his legs!

There was a loud bang, and the football whistled over the heads of Lin Quan and Aguero.

The two made a symbolic jump, and there was no chance of touching the ball at all.

Both of them subconsciously turned their heads to look behind them in mid-air, and at this time the football had already leaped over the second human wall.

Even the taller second wall didn't stop the ball.

And the height of the ball is still rising!

Could it be that it is high?

Seeing the ever-increasing height of football, many people have such thoughts in their hearts.

However, in the next second, they changed their minds!
