Chapter 48 Stubbornness
Mourinho didn't think that one goal was enough to keep himself at ease, but after halftime, he could return to the locker room with a more pleasant mood.----
Of course, Mourinho's pleasure is based on Lin Sen's depression.
During the intermission, Lin Sen had two problems that need to be solved.
One is how the team plays in the second half, and the other is Azpilicueta's yellow card.
The first problem is the established problem. Although Lin Sen is not willing to see the goal in the first half, it is not an emergency. One side must score first in the game, regardless of whether Manchester City is willing or not. Compared to this question, the second problem requires Lin Sen to make a decision.
The reason why Azpilicueta started in this game was adaptability issues one of Lin Sen's considerations, but as the commentator said most in the first half, the effect was not good. Not only was it bad, it was simply a fool, because it was the young Spaniard who gave Ronaldo a chance to score a free kick.
In this regard, Lin Sen did not want to put all the blame on Azpilicueta, saying that he had let down his trust and choosing the starting lineup was his own responsibility. So, the head coach naturally had to bear the corresponding risks of what kind of performance the player would perform. Otherwise, winning would be his own wise and powerful, losing would mean that the players would not be able to do so. How could such a good thing be like this?
Of course, that's it, the yellow card on Azpilicueta is also real, and Lin Sen can't pretend that he didn't see it.
In the first half, Azpilicueta, who was light and had a completely defeated situation. Then, if Azpilicueta is allowed to continue like this, it would be like a sentence on his forehead: Come and push me, it is obvious that Ronaldo cannot let such a good rake go.
Once Azpilicueta ends up... Linson can't imagine the consequences.
------------
Mourinho returned to the coach's seat on the sidelines early.
Seeing Mourinho's move, Martin Taylor joked that madmen usually only have such actions in two situations. One is when the team performs well because there is no need for any tactical arrangement. The other is when the team performs poorly. Because he needs to use his actions to tell his players that he is very dissatisfied and very dissatisfied.
Now, it is obviously closer to the former one.
Real Madrid is running well, has obvious advantages in the game, and has a temporary lead in the score.
Now, everyone is waiting for Lin Sen to give a solution to the situation. However, when the second half started again, Martin Taylor unexpectedly discovered that Azpilicueta was still on the court.
"No." Soon, Martin Taylor saw the difference, "The young Spaniard stood on the right, and Zabaleta came to the left. It seemed that Lin Sen still made some adjustments, but whether such adjustments were really effective can only be tested by the game..."
As Martin Taylor said, the game quickly gave the test results.
The result is that Lin Sen's "best of both worlds" is just a beautiful wish.
Whether Azpilicueta is on the left or on the right, it has not changed the fact that he is timid with a yellow card. Not to mention that both sides of Real Madrid will frequently change positions. Lin Sen's adjustment is actually not very effective. Even if he does not change positions, although Kaka's current state is not as good as before, he is still not something Azpilicueta can easily deal with.
In the 66th minute of the game, Kaka broke through Azli Piqueta. The latter hesitated for a moment and did not dare to pull people.
It is right to not pull people. If it is pulled, the referee who is standing in front of him will give him a yellow card without hesitation. But it is also wrong to not pull people, because he missed this defensive opportunity and Kaka passed the ball, and the little smoker Higuain, who was always wandering in Manchester City's penalty area, scored a goal.
The score became 2 to zero.
A worst score.
At this time, Lin Sen knew that he had no choice, so he made a substitution that many people thought was more bold: Di Maria, replaced Azpilicueta.
Zabaleta returns to the right, Bale retreats to the left sideback, and Di Maria takes over Bale's left winger.
There is no doubt that this is an offensive signal.
But at this moment, Mourinho also made the first substitution at the same time: Ras Diarra replaces Kaka.
When 1-0, Real Madrid was still continuing to attack, because one goal could not guarantee how much advantage Real Madrid gained in the away game, even if it was a clean sheet. But when the score became 2-0, Real Madrid had the premise of defense, because the advantage of two goals was enough to allow Real Madrid to go to the away game with a calm and confident attitude.
Mourinho's response is just right in the eyes of many people, but in comparison, Lin Sen seems passive everywhere.
This game was considered to be the old and new before the game.
In the 71st minute, Manchester City failed to attack. After Las Diarra came on the court, the game strategy obviously turned into a defensive and counterattack. If Ronaldo had not been a little bit of a merit and did not pass the ball to the other side, he was almost facing Higuain, who was empty goal, Manchester City would have almost faced a three-goal behind.
In the 78th minute, Manchester City ushered in the best opportunity since the start of the game. Bale, who returned to his old left back, intercepted the ball and ran for a long distance. The opponent's right defender Ramos was too arrogant and failed to stop the Welsh in time. So, no matter how capable he was, he could only watch Bale leave. However, Bale's almost perfect pass finally made Falcao hit the opponent's goal frame.
Unbelievable that he had missed such a goal, Falcao, who held his head in his hands and knelt on the ground, looked annoyed.
Lin Sen on the sidelines also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He watched the game time and began to brew his next move in his mind.
Real Madrid has begun to shrink its defense line now, but if you think that this will happen, Manchester City can attack unscrupulously, then you have made the wrong plan. Even if Kaka comes out and replaces Las Diyala, Real Madrid still has players like Ozil, Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo in the frontcourt. Even if you dare to relax your vigilance, they will make you pay a bloody price.
In this case, Lin Sen did not dare to let his midfield push up at all, let alone the entire defense line was ahead of schedule, so the problem still revolved back to the starting point, that was the wing.
In the middle, Manchester City is actually comparable to Real Madrid in this game. Whether it is the opponent's Ozil or Manchester City David Silva, under the respective "care of both sides, the role they can play is compressed to the lowest, while on the wing, the opponent's Cristiano Ronaldo decides everything.
On the side, Lin Sen currently has three cards to play: Reus, Wright Jr. and Suarez who can pull the edge. All three have their own characteristics. Reus' speed may receive miraculous effects in the final stage of the game. Wright Jr. also has this advantage, while Suarez's skills can impact the opponent's defense.
In theory, all three people are worth playing, but now Lin Sen is thinking, who else?
On the side road, it is naturally down the side road.
He just made a substitution on the left side and got an excellent opportunity. It is obviously irrational to continue to become. So, Robben on the right side?
Compared with Ronaldo, who almost decided on the game, Ronaldo in Manchester City's starlight was undoubtedly much dimming. Faced with the double strangle between Khedira and Marcelo, Ronaldo was proud of the breakthrough. He didn't want to look at the statistics. Lin Sen knew that he must be very pitiful.
In this case, Lin Sen seems to be replacing Robben, giving himself a chance and Manchester City a chance.
But he was actually not willing to exchange Robben.
Not only because Robben is the kind of player who can only make the most of the half-game, but with a flash of inspiration, it is also because in his eyes, even if the ball is intercepted again and again, Robben is still seeking a breakthrough opportunity.
Fighting and defeating repeatedly, and fighting again and again.
The tricks in this are not what Lin Sen wants to say, but because Robben's emotional color has never changed.
In other words, he is always confident in himself!
After hesitating for a while, Lin Sen finally decided to continue to be stubborn.
He had been stubborn in this game once, and in the use of Azpilicueta, he paid the price. Now, he was stubborn again, and only the score could tell him what the result was.
The time of the game continues to pass minute by minute.
In the 83rd minute, Robben finally made Marcelo, who was defending himself, pay a price, with a yellow card, because this time, Robben completely deceived the Brazilian. Manchester City got a free kick, but Bale, who took the penalty, finally fired an anti-aircraft gun.
Three minutes later, Robben made a comeback. After receiving a pass from midfielder Yaya Toure, he flashed past Las Diyala's first tackle and then faced Marcelo again.
Marcelo was not nervous when facing Robben alone. Although he had just received a yellow card because of the other party, he knew that as long as he was not completely thrown away by the other party, Robben would not be able to escape the fate of being double-teamed.
Marcelo fought and retreated, while Robben approached step by step.
Robben knew very well about Marcelo's abacus, because after most of the game, the opponent did not have this routine, but this time, he did not intend to give the opponent such an opportunity.
Just as Marcelo's eyes shifted slightly to observe his teammate's position, Robben instantly activated!
He gently knocked the ball on his left foot, and the ball passed through Marcelo's crotch, and then Robben forced himself to overtake from the opponent's left side!
Marcelo was almost on his head and was penetrated by someone. He has always been one of the biggest shames for defensive players. He turned around and chased after a few steps, and found that he couldn't catch up. He took the opportunity to pull people, as if he didn't care about the fact that he had already carved a yellow card, but at this moment, he found that Robben's steps were beaten again.
Then, he saw that he could hold Robben's hand, so he "poke" Robben straight up. Not only that, he even hit him without stopping the car.
In an instant, a crowd of people were overturned.
A whistle sounded.
Marcelo's head buzzed.
