Chapter 347 Halftime Adjustment
The breaking of the deadlock had a considerable impact on both teams. After Kaka and his teammates celebrated passionately, the morale of the players on both sides rose and fell. The Red Devils, who had held on for nearly a whole half, felt a little sluggish.

The excited Mourinho rushed to the bench and celebrated with his players right after Kaka scored. In contrast, Ferguson's face on the sidelines turned ashen.

The game has reached the 0th minute. At this time, it is hopeless for Manchester United to equalize before the end of the first half, which means that the team will enter the second half with a score of 1-.

The total score was tied at 2-2. Although Manchester United still advanced with the advantage of an away goal, any discerning person could see that after Kaka scored this goal, the problem of Real Madrid's offense being blocked by Manchester United's defense had been resolved.

The Galacticos, who have completely let go and found their way, are a force that no club in the world dares to face. With Manchester United's preparation and defensive intensity today, it will be a big question whether the team can hold the situation in the next forty to fifty minutes.

Ferguson paced the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. He did not loudly blame the players on the field. Overall, there was no problem with the team's tactical execution in the first half. Kaka's sudden rise can only be described as the explosion of a superstar.

As for the fact that Cleverley was pulled away by Ronaldo, Ferguson did not realize that this was actually an adjustment made by Mourinho. In his opinion, although the clever choice was a bit reckless, it was definitely not wrong.

Compared to Kaka who is gradually declining, Ronaldo is the real core of Real Madrid's offense. Cleverley's arrangement itself is to defend the opponent's midfielder's pass and double-team Ronaldo with Evra.

"Stabilize the situation first."

After a simple instruction, when the game started again, the Manchester United players continued to control the ball as required by their coach and did not rush into an all-out attack.

As a result, the Real Madrid players who wanted to rush out and try to get another goal after their opponent lost the ball were quite disappointed. When the ball was continuously passed between Manchester United's midfield and backcourt until the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the confrontation on the field was temporarily over.

He walked to the sidelines and took the towel handed over by his teammates on the bench. Manchester United's midfield and defense were exhausted in the first half. It was not easy to maintain stability in ball possession under the pressure of the luxurious four-man team of the Galacticos.

This once again proved that Ferguson could not continue to rely on this method to waste the entire game time. After the team fell behind by one goal, the established tactics could no longer be implemented.

After returning to the locker room, all the Red Devils players were silent. In the first half, before Kaka scored, the team's defense and ball control were very good, but in the end the opponent still scored a goal, which made everyone a little demoralized.

"Cough cough."

Ferguson coughed twice to attract the attention of the players. This time, he did not use the hair dryer. He looked at the players in front of him seriously and saw the pursuit of victory in each of their eyes.

"You defended well in the first half, and we had some good counterattack opportunities, but unfortunately we were a little unlucky."

Pulling the tactical board over, Ferguson drew direction signs on it while speaking.

"But our opponents still seized every opportunity, which is undeniable. Now that we are tied in the total score, it is not a good option to continue to control the ball and defend."

After quickly drawing out the adjustment ideas in his mind, Ferguson raised his head.

"In the second half we adjusted the team's position and tactics, with Scholes and Van Persie in the first position."

Ferguson strengthened the team's front line by moving Van Persie from right midfielder to second striker. Scholes then took over Van Persie's previous position and Cleverley became a single defensive midfielder.

"The opponent has found a loophole against the two defensive midfielders, so we simply don't waste time on it. In the second half, we should push the ball out and not let it stay in our half for too long." The overall approach is to push the ball possession range to the center circle close to the opponent's half, so that even if we lose the ball, the opponent will not launch a counterattack immediately.

"The two wingers need to take on more defensive responsibilities, Carrick, you too. You also saw Kaka's performance in the first half. Don't give him the chance to speed up. Find the right time to steal the ball or commit a foul. It's up to you."

"Understood, Boss!"

"Qin, Robin, your tasks remain the same, you still aim at the opponent's goal and send the ball in. Robin's defensive task is cancelled. Whether the defense will be under great pressure in the second half depends on the pressure you two put on the opponent."

"learn!"

Qin Hu and Van Persie both responded loudly to Ferguson with a feeling of heavy responsibility on their shoulders. The team had been tied in aggregate by the opponent, and it would not do for them as forwards to remain without scoring any goals.

"There's nothing else to do. Just stay focused and don't give the opponent a chance to speed up. It will be difficult to stop their counterattack once they speed up. There are still 45 minutes left. I hope that when the game is over, we can celebrate the result of advancing together."

"A must-have BOSS~"

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

At this point, Manchester United's first-half adjustments were completely completed, and the players were quietly drinking water in the locker room waiting for the second half of the game to begin.

When there was a knock on the locker room door, captain Ferdinand quickly stood up and led the way out, followed closely by the other players. Everyone was silent but full of murderous intent.

This is Old Trafford, their own home ground, and the team fell behind in front of their own fans. This is unacceptable in any way.

Fortunately, they still have forty-five minutes to prove themselves, and no one will give up early.

In the player tunnel, players from both teams met again. As the Galacticos themselves had not confirmed their impending promotion, the faces of the Real Madrid players were tense. A solemn atmosphere permeated the entire tunnel, and the staff were all silent.

"Okay, the players of both teams return to the court. The two sides exchange halves. The second half of the game is about to begin."

C Ronaldo stood in front of the ball, his eyes looking far away at Manchester United's goal. This real offensive core player of Real Madrid had not scored a goal yet. After Kaka scored a goal, his heart began to itch.

Although he did not want to hurt the hearts of Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, Ronaldo, who is extremely competitive, never gives up easily. He may apologize deeply after the team eliminates Manchester United, but he will never choose to give up before the game is over.

"Shhh!!!"

The whistle sounded again, and as the ball was pushed out by Ronaldo, the second half of the game began.
