Chapter 412 Probability
"Rong! Rong! Rong! He is simply in Real Madrid's penalty area? He is in the no-man's realm! He is moving around and flies, and the Real Madrid defensive players can't do anything to him!" commentator John Motterson shouted excitedly.
Manchester City Stadium made a huge cheer, which was better than any previous one.
All Manchester City fans jumped out of their seats, shouting the name of Glory loudly and shouting at the top of their lungs without stopping.
The second half of the game started with the goal conceding, and everyone was looking forward to glory.
They have been looking forward to it until now, and Glory has not disappointed them, and he helped Manchester City take the lead!
No matter when, glory never disappoints their expectations.
"Rong helped Manchester City take the lead. Now the total score is 2:1. Manchester City leads. Although it only leads one goal, it is better than a draw or a trail. In the next round, Manchester City still has hope!"
The TV broadcast gave Mourinho a close-up shot, and he looked serious in the camera.
Obviously, he was dissatisfied with the goal concealed.
But he was not furious. At this time, he remained steady.
He knew in his heart that even if Real Madrid lost this game with this score, it would not be a bad thing.
This is the advantage of being away first and then home. In the next round, when you return to your home court, Real Madrid's combat effectiveness will increase exponentially, and they are only one goal behind and have an away goal. As long as they can defeat Manchester City 1-0 in the next round, they can eliminate the opponent by taking advantage of away goals.
Mourinho is already planning the second leg of the game.
While Manchester City players were celebrating this goal wildly, he called Ozil to his side, gave him face-to-face advice, and then told him to his teammates after he came on the court.
He asked the team to focus on defense after the game restarts and don't think about counterattacks. Now there is little time left in the game, and Manchester City will definitely attack wildly with the encouragement of the ball of Glory. Their offensive will be very strong at that time. If Real Madrid is still distracted and want to attack, they will be afraid that they will lose the ball.
I simply don’t think about scoring the goal at all, and I will focus on defending the goal first. Losing this game 1:2 is not an unacceptable result.
After hearing Mourinho's words, Ozil returned to the court to convey Mourinho's instructions to his teammates.
Although many Real Madrid players don’t like losing the game very much, they can only accept it now. After all, the glory is too strong. If you lose another goal and lose the game 1:3, it will be completely different from 1:2.
Only Cristiano Ronaldo was a little unhappy with Mourinho's decision. He curled his lips and said nothing.
He felt that with his current state, as long as the team supports him, he would be confident that he would help the team equalize the score in the next time.
It is good to score a away goal, but wouldn't it be better if we can score two away goals and equalize the total score at the same time?
Unfortunately, everyone except him supported Mourinho's decision, so he had to silence his lips and feel depressed alone.

When Manchester City finished their celebrations and returned to the game, they did rely on their momentum after scoring the goal to launch a fierce offensive against Real Madrid's goal.
Because they also know that 2:1 is not a very safe score. If they can score another goal, it would be better if they beat Real Madrid 3:1.
They think that Real Madrid will panic after conceding such a goal. As long as they attack with all their might, they can tear through Real Madrid's defense and score again.
But when they really did this, they found that Real Madrid was not defeated by the wonderful goal of Rongguang, and their defense line was still as stable as the Great Wall.
Manchester City's storm hit a solid stone wall and returned in vain.
In fact, if it was Real Madrid in the past, such as Real Madrid coached by "Chile engineer" Pellegrini, they would likely quickly concede another goal after conceding the ball, because the willpower of Real Madrid at that time was their weakest link.
And now Real Madrid has become much more intense under Mourinho's training?
Even if Ibrahimovic, Glory and Kaka tried every means, they could not score another goal for the rest of the time.
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Manchester City and Real Madrid fans cheered at the same time.
Manchester City fans cheered because they eventually reversed and won the game.
The Real Madrid fans cheered because the team withstood Manchester City's offensive at the last moment and did not concede any more goals. The 1:2 score was a completely acceptable result for them.
So both sides cheered.
However, the media's performance after the game was different from that of fans.
Spanish media have all said that Real Madrid has achieved an ideal result. The 1:2 score puts them only one goal behind and one away goal, which are all favorable factors.
The English media were not very satisfied with the result of Manchester City in this game. This score is not safe and too dangerous.
This view is supported by data.
In the history of the Champions League, the team that lost 1:2 away in the first leg, the probability of advancing in the second leg reached 55%, which exceeded half. The data and history are more optimistic about Real Madrid.
Manchester City obviously knew this, so they launched a fierce attack at the last moment of the game.
It's a pity that I didn't score in the end.
Some English media expressed concerns about whether Manchester City can pass the Real Madrid level.
But it is so glorious that it seems very confident.
"...We are the leader now, and I don't understand why so many people are not optimistic about us." He expressed his doubts in an interview with reporters.
The reporter explained: "...From the probability, the teams who lost the away game 1:2 in the first leg have a higher chance of advancing..."
"Probability has no reference value. Those data belong to the previous team and have nothing to do with us now." Rong Guang spread his hands, "Anyway, I don't believe in things like probability. Even if the probability you mentioned is 99%, then we are one percent."/p>
Benitez then echoed Rong Guang's words. He said in an interview with reporters: "If you want to talk about history, as far as I know, Real Madrid loses the first leg 1:2 in the history of the Champions League, it seems that he has never successfully advanced, right?"
The reporters asked this question were speechless.
Because it's really...
If it is true for Real Madrid, the probability of advancing after losing 1:2 away in the first leg is...zero.

Because the game against Real Madrid was very hard and many players were in poor physical condition, Benitez rotated in the league on the weekend.
Even if it was a rotation in this game, Manchester City still seemed very tired.
Sunderland is very motivated and wants to beat Manchester City away.
However, Manchester City's overall strength is still stronger than Sunderland, not to mention that this is still at their own home court.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Sunderland 3-2 at home, and Glory scored a goal in the game, which was Manchester City's second goal at that time.
Then Rongguang was replaced in the 75th minute, and Benitez was going to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next week.
Although Rongguang was substituted, Manchester City and Sunderland were still indisputable in the field, tied 2:2.
However, the person who has returned to the glory is Kaka.
After Kaka took the field, he took the opportunity to help Manchester City take the lead.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Sunderland 3-2 and won the victory.
Most of Manchester City's main players got rest, and they also scored three points, which was a happy result.
Eighty-one points also allow Manchester City to continue to lead Manchester United by five points.
Manchester United is now starting to make efforts in the league, so these three-pointers from Manchester City are very important.
After finishing the match with Sunderland, Manchester City began to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League with Real Madrid.
Both Ass and Marca have issued appeals, calling on Real Madrid's ball. They must go to the Bernabeu Stadium and turn the Bernabeu into a white ocean. They want Manchester City to feel the terror of white.
Then he was one goal behind the score, but it seemed that Real Madrid was bound to win and was very confident about advancing.
Under such circumstances, Manchester City came to Madrid three days in advance. They stayed in the hotel and borrowed Atletico Madrid's training ground to prepare for the game.
As a mortal enemy in the city, Atletico Madrid is naturally willing to cause some trouble for Real Madrid. If Real Madrid is eliminated in the end, they will be very happy.
At this time, Atletico Madrid will not have any national concept.
In Madrid, Manchester City has also attracted media attention.
After every day training, media will block them and ask for interviews.
However, Benitez issued a ban on the players, and except for the official press conference, they were not allowed to speak irrelevantly in front of reporters.
Benitez attaches great importance to this game and is very cautious.
He doesn't want to lose the game due to some minor details.
Real Madrid will definitely be very crazy when returning to home. Will Manchester City's defense line be able to withstand it?
