Ball king grower

The moods of Aguero, Kompany, and Joe Hart reflected the mood of the entire Manchester City team at this time. Some were unhappy, some were angry, some were unwilling, and some were aggrieved. Facing Lin Yu's two

After scoring a goal, their emotions were extremely complicated.

This kind of mood is reflected in the expression, which is very clear. Pellegrini also knows that his players are having emotional problems now, but he really has no time to worry about these things at the moment. The team is one goal behind, and

They conceded two goals at home. This is a mistake that should never be made in the knockout stages of the Champions League. The question now is that they have already made a mistake, how can they make up for it?

All-out attack? Yes, it is indeed possible to score goals in this way, but the problem is that once an all-out attack is launched, the possibility of conceding the ball will also increase rapidly. It is already fatal to be scored by the opponent two away goals. If another goal is scored, it will be fatal.

If you score a goal, you will really be desperate.

Then fully defend or maintain the status quo? But the problem is that if you do this, not only will you not be guaranteed to lose the ball, but you will also be unlikely to score. In this case, the score may still expand.

Confused! Pellegrini’s brows were knitted together.

Although he knew that the players' emotions were wrong, after all, the first half was almost over, and the emotions should not affect the game now. The key was to come up with countermeasures. He believed that his players could adjust themselves. After all,

They are all players who have experienced great battles, and they have not failed once or twice.

…

At the end of the first half, both teams returned to the locker room to rest, but Pellegrini showed no intention of relaxing. Instead, he became more nervous and anxious because he had not yet thought of a suitable way to deal with the game.

In the Real Madrid locker room, Zidane positively praised the performance of the entire team, especially Lin Yu's performance. In fact, for Lin Yu, it doesn't matter whether he praises him or not, after all, Lin Yu basically

Whenever he has the opportunity to play, he will perform very well. But Zidane is a shrewd man. He found that Lin Yu is actually a bit childish in some aspects. For example, this guy just likes to hear others praise him, like those with outstanding grades in school.

Students like praise from teachers and parents alike.

Saying a few words is completely different from not saying it, which will make Lin Yu feel very comfortable in his heart. Lin Yu is happy, and his natural state is good. When Lin Yu is in good state, it is not like Buddha blocking the way to kill Buddha, God.

Stop killing gods.

In this game, we can score two away goals at the Etihad Stadium. Basically, the task has been completed. At least it seems like this to Zidane. He will not put too much pressure on the players.

. He won’t say that you must win by a big score. His request is very simple, as long as you don’t lose this game.

Such requirements allow Real Madrid players to play football with almost no psychological burden. Naturally, their performance is excellent.

Although he said that a draw would be enough, he actually still hopes to win in the away game, but he cannot say this easily. Otherwise, the pressure on the players will be great, and he still hopes that all players can perform normally.

.Rather than rush forward for the sake of victory, but in the end the victory is not obtained and the draw is also lost, which is not worthwhile.

Of course, Lin Yu can be treated differently.

He told Lin Yu privately, "You want to monopolize the Champions League golden boots. Don't you want to score a few more goals?"

…

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half. In the stands, the Manchester City fans were still very active. They really couldn't stand Lin Yu's triumphant face after scoring, so as long as Lin Yu

As soon as Yu gets the ball, they will boo and curse, just like at the beginning of the game.

During this period, Real Madrid fans began to remain calm again. Some of them were eating, some were drinking water, and some were watching the game intently. Now is not the time for them to roar, but they believe that

The time will come again soon.

Lin Yu's two goals in the first half have filled them with confidence. They don't have to worry about their team losing to Manchester City in this game. Now they just need to watch the game quietly.

It is enough to support your favorite players and your favorite teams with your own heart.

There is no need to pray for God's help, nor do you need to pray for Lin Yu to suddenly go crazy, everything goes as planned.

They don't have to worry about any accidents. They can enjoy the game with the mentality of watching a show. They believe that it is definitely not them who are anxious to get angry now, but their opponents.

…

Of course, it is Manchester City that is anxious to get angry. They are currently one goal behind and have been scored two away goals. If they cannot get a draw or victory at home, it will basically declare them eighth in the Champions League.

Was eliminated in the finals.

It's a pity that Pellegrini is a man without adventurous spirit. He is too cautious and too forward-thinking.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City started a furious attack for about five or six minutes, pressing very high and attacking very fiercely. Taking advantage of their home court, they almost suppressed Real Madrid.

But only six minutes later, they returned to their previous posture and continued to attack uneasily.

Because they were almost stunned by Real Madrid's sudden counterattack. Quick counterattack has always been a hidden killer of Real Madrid. In Lippi's era, this move was obvious, it was a quick counterattack, but now

After the Zidane era, there were fewer quick counterattacks, but they were replaced by continuous suppression and attack. The weapons that were originally used openly were hidden, but they were not rusty. When they were taken out for use at the critical moment, they were threatening.

Bigger and more sudden.

The trident of Bale, Royce, and Lin Yu is very fast and has very good foot skills. As long as one of them gets the ball, Manchester City's defense will be under a huge threat.

In the fifth minute, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack, but it was a pity that Bell's shot missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. This made the Manchester City players break out in a cold sweat. The most nervous one was,

There is none other than Pellegrini. He originally thought of taking a risk, but quickly changed his mind and asked the team to retreat on defense.

Pellegrini thinks this is his calmness and rationality. After all, losing 1:2 is always better than losing 1:3 or 1:4.

But in Lin Yu's view, Pellegrini's approach is undoubtedly extremely stupid. Facing Real Madrid, there is no difference between losing 1:2 or losing 1:10. Manchester City wants to eliminate Real Madrid and advance.

, there are only two options, either at least a draw with Real Madrid at home, in which case there is still a 10% chance of advancement. Or, by defeating Real Madrid at home, in which case the possibility of advancement will increase to 30%.

And if they lose 1:2 at home, it's not that Lin Yu looks down on Manchester City, they can basically declare that the road to the Champions League is over.

And what Lin Yu thinks is the funniest thing is, will you not lose the ball if you retreat to defend? Do you really think that I, Lin Yu, are that kind of kind person? I really like people who take advantage of people's illness and take their lives. You guys should reply.

If we reduce our defense, that's great. Naturally, we have to change our tactics.

Lin Yu looked at Zidane on the sidelines and found that Zidane gave him a thumbs up. This was not a compliment, but a message to Lin Yu that he agreed to launch an attack! This was the code they had discussed in private.

After all, it is not easy for Zidane to command the players on the court. Even if he shouts at the top of his lungs, the players on the court may not be able to hear him. But Lin Yu is different. Lin Yu is on the court. He uses him to give orders.

, then it will be relatively easy.

After receiving the instruction, Real Madrid changed its tactics. The previous defensive counterattack was changed to a full-scale offensive posture.

Because Manchester City chose to retreat on defense, even defenders like David Luiz dared to rush forward and assist.

Including Azpilicueta and Carvajal, who started at home, they frequently pressed up and completely used themselves as full midfielders.

To be honest, if it hadn't been five or six minutes into the second half, Zidane would have already started to make substitutions, because if he wanted to strengthen the offense, Marcelo would have a greater role, but it doesn't matter now, because Real Madrid's frontcourt attack

The ability is strong enough.

Royce, Lin Yu, Bell plus the former golden boy Isco, this is a very enviable frontcourt attack group.

And don’t forget that Pogba and Modric, who are responsible for the defensive midfielder position, are also strong offensive players. Both of them have very strong long-range shooting ability, which really gave them a chance. It is estimated that Manchester City’s goal will be hit.

into a sieve.

…

At the 75th minute of the game, Real Madrid had basically taken full initiative on the court, suppressing their opponents in the half-court and unable to come out. Many commentators even exclaimed with emotion, this is no longer the Etihad Stadium.

, turned into the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

How can any home team be so suppressed? And Manchester City is not the kind of team that likes to defend.

Zidane chose to make substitutions at this time, replacing Carvajal, Azpilicueta went to play on the right, Marcelo came on to play on the left, and replaced Isco in the frontcourt, who was a little tired.

, replaced by the more impactful Benzema.

The offense was already strong enough, and his substitutions brought Real Madrid's offense to another level.

Benzema scored just five minutes after coming on!

Lin Yu retreated behind Benzema, and after receiving Modric's pass, he successfully got rid of the defense of Manchester City's midfielder and even knocked down Yaya Toure. Then when everyone thought he was going to stage another one-stop

When he was having a good time, he suddenly chose to pass the ball straight to Benzema.

Benzema, who was almost ignored, did not stop the ball and directly took a kick. Then the ball bypassed Joe Hart's defense and hit the blind corner of the goal.

The unanswerable shot, let alone Joe Hart, even a top goalkeeper like Buffon can't do anything about it.

"3:1! Benzema scored! Benzema, who had just played for less than six minutes, scored! Now, Real Madrid leads Manchester City 3:1. More importantly, this is an away game and they have won three away games.

Goal, Pellegrini's team is finished!"

"Some people say that Benzema is stupid to stay in Real Madrid as a substitute for Lin Yu, but at this moment, Benzema's performance is better than some of the main players. His brilliance is even more shining. He has sealed the victory!

"

"I think there is no suspense anymore. The possibility of Manchester City trying to make a comeback at the Bernabeu Stadium is almost zero!"

"Mansour wanted to acquire Lin Yu before. Now it seems that this is definitely a wise decision. If the transfer is successful, maybe Manchester City will win today! After all, today's three goals, two

One was scored by Lin Yu, and the other was assisted by Lin Yu. He almost single-handedly destroyed the hopes of Manchester City!"

"Damn it, Pellegrini's tactics are too conservative. What are you afraid of? If you go up and fight them early, even if you lose in the end, you have worked hard. How unwilling you are now."

Accompanied by the excited, helpless, or emotional voices of the commentators, the Real Madrid players gathered together excitedly and threw the goal scorer Benzema high, because they knew that in the two rounds of the game

There is no suspense anymore. Even if Manchester City can perform exceptionally in the next round, they will not be able to make a comeback at the Bernabeu Stadium. (To be continued...)
