757 Falling into the well

"Alright, the two sides are back on the field!"

Amid the thunderous voices of the fans, the commentators were analyzing the game in front of hundreds of millions of spectators in front of the televisions. [Literature]

'We can see that Chelsea didn't make any substitutions, but Real Madrid brought on their midfielder because of Mascherano's injury. Granero, a 21-year-old Spanish midfielder nicknamed The Pirate! ”

"This is a player who is very favored by Yang Cheng, both offensive and defensive, but compared to the defense, his attack is better, he has excellent organizational skills, and good midfield breakthrough ability, these are his chips based on Real Madrid, and his defense is very diligent, running actively, and his set-piece footwork is also very good."

"Yang Cheng's previous use of Granero was to replace Xavi? Alonso was enough to prove the characteristics of the two players, but this match he let Granero and Xavi? Alonso's partner, replacing Mascherano, is a bit of a stretch, so why not the better De La Red? ”

Just then, the referee blew the whistle for the second half kick-off.

Real Madrid kicked off first, but there was a very interesting scene, that is, as soon as Real Madrid kicked off, Chelsea immediately retreated in the middle of the defense, and finally retreated to the edge of the penalty area again, obviously afraid of Real Madrid's fast attack.

"Haha, to be able to force Chelsea like this, Yang Cheng's Real Madrid is also worthy of pride!" The on-site commentator laughed.

Looking across Europe, is there any team that can make Chelsea fear that?

The live TV camera also specially gave Yang Cheng on the sidelines, and found that the Chinese also shook his head and laughed, thinking that this was too ridiculous, but it is no wonder that Real Madrid's attack is too fast, there are too many speed players, and there is Xavi? Alonso and Thiago? A long passer like Silva, Granero's long ball is also very good.

At times like these, it is indeed the way it should be.

Of course, a retreat doesn't mean you don't intercept on the spot. Chelsea's midfield has a lot of control and a lot of interception.

Real Madrid used a quick pass and catch combination this time. Passed the ball straight to David? At Silva's feet, although he still couldn't chisel a gap, Ashley? Cole's foul gave Real Madrid a set-piece opportunity.

"Well done, at the start of the second half. Real Madrid are about 30 meters to the right side of the goal, and when they get a set-piece, who will take the free-kick? The on-site narrator said.

Yang Cheng pointed towards Granero, and then gestured to Harvey? Alonso pressed on, and it was a hint.

"It's Granero. He showed up at the penalty spot! ”

The pirate stood in front of the ball and stepped on the turf behind the ball with his right foot, hoping to wait for it to be easier to get the ball on target.

It was an indirect corner, but in the Chelsea box. It's still crowded, Thiago? Silva, Ramos, Ronaldo and other players with excellent headers all squeezed into the box.

Ramos in the box made a gesture towards Granero, and the pirate nodded. Took a deep breath. Rushing out, he slammed his right foot towards the ball.

The ball crossed an arc and landed at the edge of the Chelsea penalty area, where Ramos shook John Terry away in the crowd. Leaping high and flicking his head towards the Chelsea goal.

Granero's free-kick was quick. Ramos's header was also used with force, and the ball was fast to the right side of the goal, but Cech was not slow to react at all, flying straight to save and block the ball with one hand.

"Oh my God, great Cech!" The on-site commentators all exclaimed in amazement.

But the ball didn't go too far to see Kaka about to kick the ball in the scuffle in the penalty area, but Terry, who reacted, poked the ball out before the Brazilian, but with little force. …,

The scuffle in the box changed so quickly that no one noticed that the ball went out of the box and fell to Xavi? Alonso's feet.

The Spanish midfielder was ambushed outside the penalty area, just waiting for the opportunity, as soon as he saw the ball coming, and then saw Cech fall to the ground, he almost did not hesitate to pick up his right foot directly, which was a powerful volley.

The shot went through the gap, the angle and the strength were impeccable, Cech fell to the ground, it was impossible to pounce on the left side, but at the most critical moment, Carvalho appeared in front of the goal and blocked the ball directly with his body, Xavi? Alonso's shot hit him straight in the stomach and the Portuguese cleared it with a big kick!

"Carvalho has made a meritorious service!"

"The ball was kicked out of bounds by Carvalho, it was a throw-in for Real Madrid!"

"At the most critical moment, Carvalho saved the big Mourinho!"

"But he himself doesn't seem to have taken this kick lightly, and he fell in the forbidden area, is there anything wrong?"

It's not just a question for the on-field commentators, it's for everyone, because without Carvalho, Chelsea's centre-back combination would no longer be solid, and it would be a terrible blow to Chelsea's defence. [Literature]

But the team doctor soon rushed onto the field, and after a diagnosis, Carvalho got back to his feet.

All the Chelsea fans at the Stadio Olimpico cheered in unison, and if it hadn't been for Carvalho's goal-line save, Real Madrid's shot would have been devastating to Chelsea.

"There's no way to take him like this!" Yang Cheng shook his head angrily on the sidelines, at least let Carvalho get hurt a little.

See him like this, Paul? Baier and Benitez both looked at each other and smiled, but they also understood that Yang Cheng's irritability at this moment needed to be vented with words and actions, so as to keep his mind clear and calm.

The best chance failed to score, but Real Madrid still dominated the game.

Yang Cheng used Granero to go up, which is to further consolidate the team's quality of possession, that is, how to convert ineffective possession into effective possession, and how to connect the connection between the midfielder and the attacking striker through Granero's appearance, so as to ensure Xavi? Alonso doesn't need to press too high to keep the ball moving.

Yang Cheng said before that he began to reduce the insertion of the two wings as much as possible, using the wings as a cover, and focusing on infiltration in the middle, so Real Madrid launched a new round of onslaught against Chelsea.

…………

…………

As Yang Cheng often said, in the offensive system of a football game, goals are actually not included in the manager's list, because there is a great deal of chance in the goals and cannot be calculated. But when the manager designs tactics, he thinks about inevitability.

There was once a saying that famously confirms this.

As long as you can create enough chances in the game. Then even if your shooter is a wastewood, he can still score; Conversely, if you create very few chances in the game, then your goalscorer is Ronaldo. They still couldn't score.

This is a very objective way to say how an offensive system is composed.

Of course, a good goalscorer and a combination of technical characteristics can make a team score more goals, but these will not be lined up in the tactical system. All managers think first about how the ball is going to go when they plan their attacks.

Yang Cheng used Granero to value the academy's passing ability and creativity, he can not only pass the ball by himself, but also a qualified tandem. With Granero in front of you, David? Silva and Kaka don't need a pullback at all, especially David? Silva. He's the kind of player who passes the ball very thinly. …,

And when Granero exists. Harvey? Alonso can also rest assured that he will not worry about being disjointed, and retreat directly to the front of the defence to organise, which makes Chelsea's desire to cut off Real Madrid's attacking advances completely shattered.

Mascherano defended well. But he is still not as good as Granero in terms of strategy, passing and receiving coordination. Even De La Red, but it is risky to bring on Granero, at least the Spaniard's defense is not as good as Mascherano's, and his position itself means risk.

Risk is often proportional to the reward, and a high risk means a good reward.

From the very beginning of the second half, Real Madrid played very lively.

The two wings pulled out the depth, Xiao Xiao Luo and David? Silva moved closer to the flanks, stretching Chelsea's defence as wide as possible to create chances for Kaka and Granero in the middle, and then using his speed and agility to cut back from the flanks to the middle and catch him off guard.

And Yang Cheng said that he wanted to play in the middle lane, which was actually not completely unreasonable.

Makelele is the most inconsistent of Chelsea's three midfielders, Mikel is young, after being transformed into a midfielder by Mourinho, he has skills, passes, can control the ball, has excellent anticipation and positioning, is a player who relies on his brains to eat, but although he is very physical, he seems to be clumsy and slow.

Therefore, Yang Cheng focused on letting Xiao Xiaoluo and Kaka focus on Mikel's side, and pulled Makelele through Mikel, looking for opportunities to make Chelsea's back line crack.

Makelle is 36 years old, no matter how strong he is, his physical function is declining, his physical fitness can't keep up, and his movements are slow, these are all predictable, Yang Cheng just hopes to consume Makelele's physical energy by pulling and pulling, and then use the midfield to force and blow up Makelele and Mikel.

So, from the beginning of the second half, it can be seen that Real Madrid's most active performance is Xiao Xiaoluo and Kaka, and Villa also frequently responds on this side, and Real Madrid's entire offensive routine is seriously left-leaning.

Real Madrid changed the situation of not being ruthless in the first half, as long as they lost the ball in the second half, they immediately put into the counter-robbery, and even Xiao Xiaoluo and Kaka got yellow cards one after another, but through this crazy pressing, Chelsea can be forced to make frequent mistakes, making the field gradually play more open.

With a quick transition between offense and defense, Makelele and Mikel were able to barely keep up at first, but once the time passed, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be times when they couldn't keep up.

…………

…………

"Is he focusing on attacking the left side?" Faria said with a frown.

He's the team's strength and conditioning trainer, and of course he knows the level of Makelelele, and although the veteran is in good shape, at the end of the day, at the age of 36, can he still be expected to run all over the field?

Jose Mourinho also frowned, and now it looks like he is not having a good time, because after Real Madrid revitalized the midfield, the attack gradually improved, and the back of Makelele, Mikel Mikel and Frank Lampard could not be suppressed.

If you can continue to cut off Real Madrid's advance route and cut off the ball to the front, then it is not a big problem, but the problem is that now Real Madrid has reconnected the goal industry chain, which is dangerous.

Makelele and Mikel may not be in the short term, but sooner or later they will have problems, because they both have a shortcoming. That's slow, but just give the opponent room to pull. Real Madrid's speed is enough to destroy Chelsea's slowness, and it is a matter of time.

"Let Alex warm up!" Mourinho finally couldn't sit still.

Faria nodded, immediately stepped out of his seat, and shouted to the bench behind him. "Alex, warm up, warm up!" ..., I saw Brazilian central defender Alex quickly jump up from the bench, nodded to Faria, and took off his coat. I went straight to the side to warm up.

Although he is a central defender, Mourinho has also used him in the midfield at the current Chelsea, and his performance is not bad, and this time he hopes Alex can re-stabilize Chelsea's midfield.

Step out of the home team's dugout. Mourinho glanced at Alex, who was warming up, and then turned his head sideways, noticing that Yang Cheng was looking this way. I knew that this bastard must have known that Alex was going to play. I don't plan to hide it anyway.

But Yang Cheng showed a smile at him, which made Mourinho's face feel like something.

"In the first half, this bastard was arrogant like that, and now the feng shui is in turn, and it is not good to fall into the well. I'm so sorry for myself! Yang Cheng smiled at Paul? Bayer and others explain their moves.

Indeed, 15 minutes were played in the second half. Real Madrid dominated and created a huge threat, scoring five shots, more than all in the first 45 minutes of the first half. Alonso had a shot just outside the goal, and Kaka also had a shot that almost scored.

Petr Cech has been very good indeed, and although he has been injured and his form is far from what he was before, he is still one of the best top goalkeepers on the planet, and he has few shortcomings.

"Who is he going to replace with Alex?" Benitez guessed.

Yang Cheng smiled, "Makelele! ”

The Frenchman is out of breath, his physical strength is simply not enough, if Real Madrid's offensive is contained, he would have done a good job, but now that Real Madrid is on the offensive, his lack of physical fitness will be exposed.

Sure enough, in the 65th minute, Chelsea made their first substitution, with Jose Mourinho bringing on Alex for Claude Makelele.

After Alex came on, Mikel moved to the middle and stood in front of the defence, which was also a move by Mourinho to avoid Real Madrid's entanglement.

But Yang Cheng finally caught the loophole, how could he let him walk from under his nose?

"Let Kaka keep up with Mikel and stare him to death!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

After receiving the order, Kaka cruised beside Mikel.

The Nigerian was born in a forward midfield and was technically excellent, winning the Silver Ball at the World Youth Championships in the midfield position and being pursued by Manchester United Alex Ferguson, but was eventually brought to Chelsea by Kenyon.

However, Mourinho knows very well that Mikel, a more quaint forward with a style of play, has no market in the current football world, so he wants to transform Mikel into a midfielder, but this does not mean that Mikel has changed his rhythm and speed slowly.

Yang Cheng used Kaka to stare at Mikel, just to catch Mikel's slow ball defects, chase him hard, as soon as the ball reaches Mikel's feet, I will press as soon as possible to force you to make mistakes.

Perhaps, such an approach is a little cruel for a young man, it will leave a shadow on him, and even ruin his future future, but there is no way, this is the Champions League final, and there is no room for a woman's kindness.

Now the situation has turned around, Real Madrid played very smoothly, began to pounce on Chelsea in the midfield, and even did not hesitate to use crazy pressing, especially Kaka against Mikel, which fully exposed Chelsea's technical problems, can only play long passes, but how many long passes threaten, naturally needless to say.

As long as there are Ramos and Thiago? Silva is here, Torres is on top of his head, it's hard to get a chance!

Once this step is achieved, what Yang Cheng can do as a head coach is already very limited, and the rest can only be left to the players on the pitch to complete, and the key depends on whether they can turn this advantage into goals. ..., but although Chelsea are at a disadvantage, their players are very tenacious, especially Alex, who has just come up, and is even more energetic to fight back against Real Madrid, compared to others, he is more physical, and he plays a greater role in defense, and he is also not weak in attack.

As the minutes ticked by, the on-site commentator couldn't help but worry about the situation of this game again, and he even felt that it was likely to turn out to be 0:0!

"Although we all hope that Real Madrid, which has the strongest attack in Europe, and Chelsea, which has the strongest defense, can fight to the death and divide the winner, but unfortunately, we can all see that although Chelsea's situation is very passive and has been created by Real Madrid to create a lot of threats, it is still difficult to break Chelsea's defense, and it is still a little bit worse at the goal!"

"Now there are 15 minutes left before the end of the game, counting extra time and stoppage time, Real Madrid still has a lot of chances, and Yang Cheng and Mourinho both have two substitutions in their hands, obviously they are preparing for extra time, and everyone still has a chance!"

'Real Madrid had the advantage on the pitch, but they also had to be careful, the Chelsea counter-attack in the first half was very threatening, and it was also played after Real Madrid couldn't play for a long time, especially considering last season's game at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea also scored at the last minute, which shows how tenacious this team is.

"Against a team like this, Real Madrid has to keep the attacking pressure on, and it's better to be able to take care of the defense at the back."

The on-site commentator was talking that Chelsea really played a counterattack on the field, and Carvalho's long pass found Malouda, kicking off another counterattack! (To be continued.)
