"This should be a special 'backhand' that Mourinho has prepared in the second half of the league.

Essien, no one thought that he would be able to play like this!

From recovering from a serious injury to playing at the top again, it only took a little more than three months for Essien to play at the top level, which is not easy! ”

He Wei looked at Essien, who is now completely reborn in Real Madrid, and felt sincerely happy in his heart.

Xu Yang shook his head slightly, it was a pity that Mourinho played his hole cards so early.

"You should hide another hand, Real Madrid will play the first leg of the Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich in ten days, will it be better to play this hole card again?"

He Wei has a different opinion on Xu Yang's statement, but this will take into account that it was in the live broadcast, and he still saved face for his partner and coped with this topic.

But offline Chinese fans don't have this scruples, and directly complained about Xu Yang's statement.

"What Xu Yang said, so don't you have to test the effect of Essien's full play before the war? How can your performance on the training pitch compare to your performance in the game? ”

"Waiting? Isn't today's league a crucial one? Really when Bayern Haishuai doesn't study Essien?! ”

"Wait until next season's Champions League final, well, you can win this season without revealing Essien's hole card! Xu Yang, you have to trust your own judgment, and we all support you! ”

"Don't string buddy, when the time comes, Director Xu will really believe it."

"Huh? I'm talking about playing, hee-hee~"

Mourinho's reason for letting Essien play at full strength today is actually similar to the complaints of Chinese fans.

The first is to test the effect of Essien's letting go of his hands and feet in a tough battle.

The second is that he doesn't think Heynckes will miss Essien, a "former superstar" who obviously has the effect of changing the pace of the game.

If you want to say that other coaches have the possibility of making mistakes in their preparation, Mourinho believes it.

But a veteran coach like Heynckes, who is known for his meticulous preparation, Mourinho will not take it lightly.

And if you have to use the hole cards at a critical moment, then today's game against Valencia is also crucial enough.

Jose Mourinho didn't want to be distracted by an unexpected draw in the middle of the game.

In this wave of sprints, before the Champions League semifinals and before the Spanish national derby, he must win this La Liga championship in advance!

The sooner he wins the title, the sooner he can devote all his energy to the Champions League and the subsequent Copa del Rey final.

Several seasons that have been described as "failures" by the outside world have made Mourinho deeply aware of this.

The more you want to win enough championships, the less room you can leave in the sprint to win the championship.

hesitated to the end, this also wanted, that also wanted, and found too many reasons for fault tolerance for yourself, and the end was often nothing.

So he lifted his hole cards today, and what he wants is to set La Liga in one battle!

The next two rounds slowly cleaned up Atletico Madrid and Sporting Gijón, which are just small roles that can't make waves.

And Essien's play did not disappoint him, and he and Leon played a good situation at both offensive and defensive ends.

If Valencia concede a goal first, or at the Bernabeu, then they will inevitably lose confidence and feel a little flustered.

The more they can't regain control in the midfield, the more anxious they will be, and if Emery doesn't adjust properly, then the tactical thinking will be confused, and it will be easier for Real Madrid to win.

However, Mourinho will not want to wait for Emery to make a stun, and he does not want to wait until the second half to establish another victory.

He wants to speed up, to see the unbalanced mentality of the Valencia players in the first half!

So he made a move and made a tactical change in the twentieth minute of the first half.

"Boss, let's continue to press forward?"

Leon was a little surprised, which did not match his speculation about Mourinho's tactical change at the moment, and he also thought that Uncle Bird would let him and Essien watch out for Valencia's possible strong counterattack.

Essien smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Daddy is like this, if you follow him for a few more years, you will know his true character, he likes to pursue stable wins, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the time to be bold. Let's go! ”

With that, Essien took the lead and crossed the halfway line and pounced on Alberto, who was closest to him and was holding the ball.

Leon didn't bother too much.

Mu Shuai would dare to make this kind of tactical command, then there must be a reason for him.

As for openly opposing the manager's tactical arrangement on the field?

Forget it, Leon is not Kaipakai's guide, he is not so bold.

With Leon and Essien pressing forward, Valencia was finally able to take some chance to threaten the counter-attack.

After all, as long as the pass dodges the tackle of these two, the slightly empty Real Madrid half will naturally become a grassland for Valencia wide players to gallop.

But correspondingly, the Valencia players who were organized at the back were also under excessive psychological pressure.

Because once the ball is broken in their own half, Real Madrid's counterattack army is equivalent to directly blocking the door of Valencia!

Jose Mourinho risked defending to play like this, in order to put further pressure on Valencia's backfielders.

He's putting pressure on Unai Emery at the same time!

That doesn't change, the two sides will bet on their ability to take chances, depending on whether Real Madrid will start the scoring again or if you will be able to equalise in the first half when Valencia will be in charge.

Uncle Bird's on-the-spot adjustment made Emery really in a dilemma.

If there's a tactical move, it's definitely the best adjustment at half-time.

But this will be Mourinho to force Emery to make a choice.

Unai Emery, desperate to attack, he didn't dare, adding a midfielder, he didn't want to.

It highlights a hesitation.

Valencia's Parejo and Aduris and others in the team couldn't bear it anymore, so they wanted to fight against Real Madrid.

But Topal, who had made mistakes before, and central defender Lamy and others wanted to stabilize their positions first.

The players in the front and back fields have different ideas, and Emery does not squeak, this style of play is not chaotic, there is a ghost.

Real Madrid's players on the pitch soon spotted the tactical rift within Valencia's squad.

Leon deliberately retreated to near the halfway line and stepped up his "care" of Parejo, and Benzema quickly leaned into the left-half run.

Parejo will want to send the ball up front, and sometimes the passing options will inevitably be a little more aggressive.

Leon saw an opportunity to press Parejo's space, and as soon as he missed, Coentrão and Alonso, who were behind Leon, had a chance to break the ball.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Coentrão cut off Parejo's pass in front of Valencia's right winger Feghouli, and then he quickly crossed the ball to Alonso, who raised his hand.

Brother Long stopped and looked twice, and then made a long pass directly to find Benzema, who retreated to catch the ball.

Leon and Essien stepped forward again tacitly, and Benzema gave the ball to the forward Leon safely, and then also turned and began to sprint with all his might.

And this time Leon didn't give the ball to Essien again, let him do the pushing.

He chose to give a long pass again and find Ronaldo directly!

This long pass to the back of the Valencia defence gave a lot of advance.

Ricardo Costa, who is keeping an eye on Cristiano Ronaldo, is no match for Ronaldo when it comes to speed.

He is 31 years old, how can he run past Ronaldo, who is at the peak of his body at the age of 27?

And this time, Cristiano Ronaldo, who got enough space to sprint, quickly calmed down after cutting inside the penalty area.

There are too many Valencia defenders in front of him.

Ricardo Costa, who chased back, Rami who pressed out and didn't give him space to push, and Topal, a midfielder who came over.

Good guys, Valencia look like they've moved their main defensive force in the right half.

However, when a figure rushed forward and quietly filled the gap in the left front of the big penalty area, Ronaldo's eyes lit up when he noticed that the figure was running.

In the next moment, Ronaldo pulled the ball back, and the figure who received the ball also cooperated with Benzema, who was inserted into the penalty area, to give a straight stopper!

"Leon had a great running position! He didn't drill Topal into the penalty area to trap Ronaldo in a place with a lot of defenders, Leon is free here, Ronaldo's pass! ”

He Wei had already boasted when he saw Li Ang's excellent position selection and running.

And Xu Yang exclaimed even more exaggerated when he saw Li Ang picking up the pass and plugging it later!

"Pretty!! Leon is looking for Benzema! Adjust, hit the door!! ”

When the fleeting opportunity presented itself, the Lyon Tyrant did not have a soft foot, and after a slight adjustment, it was a volley aimed at the near corner!

Although I usually like to have a happy kick or two, my heading ability has yet to be developed.

But at such a critical moment, in the face of difficult shots that require technical support, he is rarely weak!

It's really called "Bai Da Luo" in vain!

The ball got into the Valencia goal with almost no spin and into the near corner of the net!

Guaita's outstretched foot blocking action is still a little slower!

And at the moment when the snow-white net splashes, the real carnival moment belonging to the Bernabeu is officially opened!

"Lion cub! Good brothers! ”

Guo Feng pointed his index fingers at Li Ang with both hands, and retreated to the bottom line while laughing.

And Leon is also riding on Benzema's body with a swoop, shouting at the excited Real Madrid fans in the stands!

Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria, Essien, Coentrão, Alonso

One after another, the players on the field of Real Madrid were excitedly surrounded.

Valencia can't make any waves!

They want to win this game strongly, and announce to Barcelona, but also to the entire La Liga league, that the dominant Real Madrid is really back!

Mourinho glanced at Unai Emery, who was sitting in the dugout next door, proud of his protégés, but also unable to get too excited.

It's not that he looks down on Emery, on the contrary, Emery can bring Valencia to third place in La Liga for three consecutive seasons at the age of 40, and he definitely has the ability.

But his level of on-the-spot command is too precarious.

Sometimes it is decisive and bold, but other times it seems hesitant, and it is really a repeated horizontal jump on the first-class and non-current level of immediacy.

Mourinho believes that Emery's coaching qualifications are still very good, but it is better to concentrate on finding a famous teacher for another year or two, or go to Serie A to challenge himself in the future.

Otherwise, there is basically no possibility of bringing a wealthy family in the future.

And winning this kind of young coach who is still in the transformation period is really not the thrill of challenging success for Mourinho.

So he quickly calmly sat back in the dugout, and pointed to his temples to signal his players to calm down.

His gesture made the Real Madrid players on the field quickly restrain their ecstasy.

Once the adventure is over and you've gotten what you want, all you want is to play steady until the final whistle blows.

On this part, Alonso is undoubtedly the most vocal.

With Leon and Essien returning to their own half in time to consolidate their interceptions, Valencia's attacking rhythm was difficult to maintain.

However, it has to be mentioned that Aduris, a traditional centre-forward, still found an opportunity to attack the goal in a few attacks.

In the sixty-second minute of the second half, if Casillas hadn't concentrated enough, Ramos, who had leaked, almost let Aduris grab a goal back!

Aduris' run to grab the point also woke up Real Madrid's defenders.

Later, under the double marking of Ramos and Albiol, Aduris did not have any better chances.

This will make many Valencia fans start to miss their main striker Soldado.

Well, this Leon predecessor at Castilla is also an outstanding player who has contributed to La Liga in Real Madrid's youth system.

But to be honest, with the entire midfield suppressed for a full game, even if Soldado is not injured and can start, his performance will not be much better than Aduris.

In the end, Valencia swallowed the bitter fruit of 0-2 at the Bernabeu, and Málaga in fourth place managed to chase the gap to one point.

And Real Madrid moved the last roadblock on the road to winning the championship, and all Real Madrid fans began to stir up uncontrollably.

On the afternoon of April 9, outside the gate of the Valdebebas training base, many Real Madrid fans held up signs to cheer for the players.

When Li Ang drove to the base for recovery training, he stopped to hold a special ceremony to hold a "We are going to hold a championship celebration on April 14th!" "Sign the sign signed by the little fan.

Such a move undoubtedly won the cheers of all the Real Madrid fans in the scene.

Leon didn't say anything in the end, leaving the fans with a wink and a meaningful smile.

On the evening of April 11, Mourinho went to the Calderón Stadium with a half-rotation and half-main lineup for a city derby with Atletico Madrid.

Simeone, who has been leading the team for half a season and has helped Atletico Madrid successfully change his style, was interviewed before the game.

He said he would bring a great derby to Atletico Madrid fans and make all Atletico supporters proud.

The rhetoric is very imposing, and the Atletico players are also very united and determined.

Leon was more objective in his assessment of Atletico's strength before the game.

It's even somewhat overestimated.

Because he saw the familiar names of Courtois, Godin, Felipe Luis, Juan Fran, Gabi.

Under Simeone's leadership, this group of already strong defensive players can always cause some problems for Real Madrid, right?

That's what Leon thought at the time.

But when just 19 minutes into the game, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo dunk Juanfran and then Perea, and hit Courtois with a heavy bombardment that made Courtois lose his temper, his opinion quickly changed.

It may be that Ronaldo is really too strong at this stage, or it may be that Atletico Madrid is still too "soft" at this stage.

Leon found that he really thought too much before the game, and Ramos was right.

Playing Atletico Madrid, no pressure, it's really stress-free!

Cristiano Ronaldo directly staged a senior in this game, Benzema scored the fifth goal, and Real Madrid finally beat their city rivals 5-1 at Calderón Stadium!

Simeone's face drooped, and he shook Mourinho's hand with an embarrassed smile after the game.

And the elated Real Madrid players have no time to take care of the frustration of the players of the same city team.

They were determined to welcome Sporting Gijón at the Bernabeu three days later.

On this day, Real Madrid's main force came out to deal with Sporting Gijón, which is currently ranked second to last in La Liga, and Mourinho did not arrange any complicated tactics.

Take the ball, find Ronaldo, and let Ronaldo open the gap on the offensive end first!

There is a supergiant in the team, when is it not used at this time?

Jose Mourinho's attacking tactics are simple, but the effect is clear.

Because the relegation team Sporting Gijón really can't withstand the repeated impacts of Ronaldo and Marcelo along the way.

From the disappointment after being opened first in the first half to the numbness after conceding the goal, Sporting Gijón's will to resist was not strong.

So when the dust finally fell on the 3-0 victory, many Real Madrid fans really didn't react immediately!

Leon once again acted as the master of the atmosphere group at this moment, riding on Ronaldo's back and taking off his jersey and starting to chant excitedly!

"Barcelona, greet to the La Liga champions this season!"

Call! After paying off the number of words owed, the foodie is steady!

Ask for a wave of subscriptions, and by the way, ask for another wave of ticket bosses!
