"Oops, this ball! Well played! ”

"The ball is in——!!! Leon's forward cut in to pull away CSKA's defenders! Cristiano Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo broke the deadlock for Real Madrid at the end of the first half! Real Madrid scored a valuable away goal! ”

Zhang Lu and Duan Xuan shouted excitedly almost at the same time.

And Mourinho, who had always been calm on the sidelines, was also excited at this time to end the handsome mode with his hands in his pockets.

He raised one arm and waved his fist in the air, before being hugged by Karanka, who was even more agitated.

Commentators from various countries have also continued to praise Mourinho's on-the-spot adjustments.

He motioned for the two midfielders to step in and join the attack, and after six or seven minutes, Real Madrid really created a chance for Ronaldo to shoot in the box in the confusion!

What is the adjustment ability of the master on the spot!

The 2,000 Real Madrid fans at the scene cheered and celebrated wantonly.

Away goals are counted as one in the knockout stage of the Champions League, and there is no such thing as a lack of gold.

To be able to score first away goals in Moscow was a near-perfect start for Real Madrid.

The rest will depend on whether we can try to keep the game win.

A 1-0 win would have left Real Madrid fans satisfied.

1-1, they can accept it, if they score another away goal and it ends up 2-2 then they will be happy.

Anyway, after returning to the home stadium, every Real Madrid fan believes that they have the means to clean up CSKA Moscow.

However, the players on the Real Madrid field at this meeting are obviously not so low.

With this goal, Mourinho and Real Madrid's players were all thinking about how to extend the lead further.

At half-time, Jose Mourinho and Karanka were quick to develop a new tactical plan.

The obscene style of play in the first half made the players on the field basically adapt to the low temperature environment on the field.

Turf differences can also be dealt with with in a more direct way.

The counter-attacking efficiency is much lower than usual, but the players are gradually able to play a little stronger than their opponents.

Of course, the important thing is to protect yourself from injury first.

After deciding on a new style of play, the Real Madrid players returned confidently on the field.

CSKA fans watched Real Madrid replace Kaka with Di Maria, and the formation changed to play four, three, three, three, and suddenly let out another earth-shattering boo.

Mourinho's intention to fight back resolutely and increase the speed of the counter-attack on both wings was too obvious.

But CSKA has no choice, is it possible that they will have to fight for their lives at home until the last moment?

There is no such reason to fight at home.

Leonid's tactics in the second half were also clear, which was to play more directly and simply, increase the intensity of the attack, and also put in more attacking manpower.

As a result, CSKA almost dominated the midfield at the beginning of the second half and began to play behind Real Madrid frequently.

However, Pepe, who was in good form today, withstood at this critical moment.

Leon: They occasionally miss the ball, and the offensive player with the ball is either left in front of Pepe or left with the ball.

It's a bit rough defensively, but it's effective.

Pepe received two verbal warnings in the space of twenty minutes, and finally received a Topaz battle card.

But the defensive pressure he's taking on makes sense.

Because Real Madrid scored again before CSKA broke through their own defence!

Higuain, who came on as a substitute for the non-confrontational injury Benzema in the 57th minute, did not miss the cross opportunity sent by Ronaldo after the breakthrough.

He was very calm in front of the penalty area, and he shot directly into the far corner without stopping the ball!

Chepchugov was beaten by this near-perfect shot!

And after that goal, Mourinho even made decisive tactical instructions.

Di Maria dropped back to the left midfield, Essien nailed to the right, and Leon and Alonso partnered again in a back two!

Four-four-two, Real Madrid is going to win this game based on midfield defense!

With Leon's retreat and the team's investment on the defensive end, Pepe and Ramos can finally stop facing their forwards as frequently.

And the presence of Ronaldo and Higuain also made CSKA never dare to make up its mind to press the siege of Real Madrid's defense on all fronts.

After all, after conceding two away goals, there is not much suspense in the second leg.

If this concedes one more goal, Real Madrid will directly kill all hopes of the Russian Premier League giants.

Leonid was not as bold as Mourinho and did not dare to fight, and in the end he could only watch his team lose at home.

And the fans of Real Madrid were already thinking about who they would meet in the quarter-knockout match the moment the final whistle blew!

On the night of the match, Real Madrid's coaching staff and players all flew back to Madrid.

The surprise two-goal win made them happy, but injuries to Arbeloa's pre-match and Karim Benzema also added a bit of gloom to the victory.

The next morning, too late to read the media hype, Mourinho rushed to the training base early to get an assessment of the two wounded.

The results were one good and one bad.

Arbeloa's thigh muscle strain, which is a bit serious, is conservatively estimated to require more than two weeks of recuperation, and it is likely to require a three-week recovery period.

Benzema, the unlucky guy, broke his ankle himself during the game, but fortunately he didn't hurt his ligaments and bones, and the team doctor assessed that he could fully recover in one to two weeks.

This result finally made Mourinho breathe a sigh of relief.

It wasn't a major injury, and both key players were back in the squad within a month, which was much better than he expected.

But there are also troubles.

At least in the subsequent arrangement, Mourinho will have to consider the distribution of firing rights between Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the afternoon, when the main players arrived at the training base for recovery training, Mourinho frowned again when he saw half of it.

This long-distance away journey and the low temperature in Moscow have caused too much wear and tear on Real Madrid's main players.

However, the next round of the league has to start on February 18, and Real Madrid only have three days to rest.

So Mourinho will have to make a choice.

It is to let the main players spin in a row, and then rest after the league game with Rayo Vallecano.

Or will you directly release the rotation lineup in the next round and let the main players recover their fitness and condition?

Mourinho pondered for a while, and finally looked at the timetable of the match in his notebook, and then looked at the current points advantage of Real Madrid ahead of Barcelona.

He gradually began to have a plan in his heart.

※※※

After two days of training, most of the main Real Madrid players who felt that their bodies were still a little heavy were unexpectedly waiting for the holiday.

The day before the league kick on February 18th, they were given a break to go home and rest!

Of course, some of the main players with good physical condition were still selected for the 18-man squad.

Like Alonso, Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Leon was in good shape, so he was directly arrested by Mourinho.

If he wants to rest, he has to survive this round of the league before resting.

From an outsider's point of view, Li Ang has really worked hard, and the whole Real Madrid team has the least time for him to rest.

But Li Ang thinks it's okay, after all, he has a hanging, he can earn points, and it's nothing to work hard.

Recently, he has been watching the highlights of the major long-range stars in advance, and when he earns enough diamond points, he will draw a long-range talent shard.

So even if Mourinho decides to rest him this round, he will at least have to get a chance to be a substitute.

On the evening of February 18, Mourinho led the players of the "B team" to the away stadium to prepare for the 24th round of La Liga against Rayo Vallecano.

Leon and Khedira and Granero started in midfield.

At the back, Marcelo, Albiol, Varane, Carvajal lined up.

Up front, Vázquez is still the line, with Alvaro Morata and Callejon forming the trident.

Against Rayo Vallecano, who are currently a little above the relegation zone, Real Madrid's rotation is actually enough.

If you look at the points ranking alone, Rayo Vallecano is not much better than the real relegation team.

But Li Ang looked at the two familiar faces opposite him, and couldn't help but nag a few more words.

He asked Khedira and Granerodo to keep an eye on the opponent's No.19 and No.20 strikers.

"Michu I know, he's scored eight goals in La Liga now, and he's still a big threat, but that Diego Costa, didn't he just come back from injury?"

Khedira asked Li Ang with some curiosity, and Li Ang didn't say anything more, so he asked Brother Face to be more vigilant.

Khedira was a little unimpressed, but his attention was still more focused on Michu, who was now famous.

As a result, only five minutes into the game, Khedira suffered a loss in the confrontation with the young version of "Shengshi Beauty".

The two were on the verge of breaking up after a simple physical exchange, with Costa receiving possession and quickly turning to advance, but Khedira clutched his chest and abdomen and fell to the ground in pain.

Leon, who clearly saw Costa elbowing Khedira on the side, cursed secretly, and after seeing that the referee did not give any signal, he accelerated and sprinted back to catch up.

With a foul pull, Leon put an end to what Costa had in the opening stages.

But he himself received the first verbal warning from the referee on duty.

"Mr. Referee, Costa just elbowed my teammate and you can see Khedira fall in pain, he's not a player who likes to fake falls."

"I have the ability to make my own judgment, are you questioning my penalty scale?"

"No, of course I didn't mean that."

"He's faking a fall! Do you want to defend your teammates? Come on, Mr. Referee is already very tolerant if he didn't blow him for a fake fall! ”

"Alright, you two be quiet for me!"

Leon watched Costa run over to stir up his complaint, and didn't bother to say any more, he took a deep look at Costa and walked away to see what was going on with Khedira.

"That guy isn't a thing, he dared to elbow me! I must return it! ”

Khedira, who had recovered from his recovery, held his knees at this time, looked at Costa and scolded fiercely.

Li Ang covered his head and hurriedly stopped him.

"If you play it back and let the referee see it, you'll have to take the cards! There's always a reason why I asked you to pay more attention to him, don't be impulsive, I'll get you back on the field. ”

"But!"

"Trust me Sammy! I dragged back and stared at him, you look at Michu's back plug more. ”

Li Ang comforted Brother Mian in a few sentences, originally the two of them dragged on together today, and Li Ang's main defensive responsibility was to watch Mi Chu.

But Khedira can't help but fall for Costa's tricks, and Leon can only exchange defensive tasks with Khedira first.

After the start of the game, the reluctant Khedira was a little more preluded, to keep an eye on Michu, and Leon took the initiative to get close to Costa.

"What? That German kid is not going to work so soon? In exchange for you to fight me? ”

Leon listened to Costa's provocative words, and didn't pay too much attention to it, but asked his own questions.

"Brother, has anyone ever complimented you on being handsome?"

Costa's voice froze, and he turned his head to look at Leon suspiciously, but Leon's sincere eyes confused him.

"Do you kid want to praise me or do you want to sarcastically mock me? I'm not going to eat you! ”

"No, I'm just asking, after all"

Leon suddenly paused when he said this, and in the moment of Costa's distraction, he suddenly burst forward and took the first step to block the ball passed to Costa by Rayo Vallecano midfielder Fuego!

Costa's second reaction was not slow, and he competed with Leon for the position.

But in the next moment, there was a sharp pain in the soft flesh of his waist, which stimulated him to jump away with a cry of pain!

Leon swept the ball towards Granero, who was picking up on the flank.

Then he turned and grinned at Costa.

"You can be handsome over me, but you can't dirty me, because I'm not like Khedira, I'm a real midfielder!"

It's over, phew

Regarding today's more than two chapters to write about the first leg of the Champions League knockout match between Real Madrid and CSKA Moscow, foodies will give an explanation to the bigwigs.

Because this is the most difficult game in Real Madrid's original history in the eighths and quarter-knockout rounds.

As soon as this one is written, I may not write in detail about the next three rounds of elimination, because the opponent is not strong and there is no influence of weather factors.

So, it's really not a foodie water word count, I reviewed the original game, and the artificial turf that was frosted on the spot was really abstract.

And the score of that knockout game was 1-1 at that time, and the bigwigs can probably imagine how difficult Real Madrid played in Moscow.
