Ball king grower

After scoring twice, Lin Yu did nothing but smiled at the camera, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Manchester City fans. They felt that this was provoking and mocking them.

There is no way, just over thirty minutes have passed, and they have already conceded two goals. What's more, this is the Bernabeu Stadium. How will the next game be played?

It's true that Manchester City has a strong lineup, but isn't Real Madrid's lineup more luxurious than Manchester City's? Comparing who has a stronger lineup with Real Madrid is just asking for trouble.

The teammates rushed up to celebrate the second goal with Lin Yu. They still maintained relaxed expressions on their faces, but it was obvious that compared with the deliberately pretended relaxation at the beginning, they were truly relaxed now. After all,

It's already 2:0. As long as there are no big problems, winning the game will be a piece of cake. The next task now is to ensure that the team does not concede goals. After all, it is very difficult for the opponent to score an away goal.

Unfavorable.

"Guys, you see, I have said before that Manchester City is an upstart, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Lin Yu smiled and said to his teammates: "Let's work harder and knock them down completely. We

But in Real Madrid, no one can be arrogant at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium!"

In fact, before the game, some teammates asked about the situation of Manchester City. After all, Lin Yu was once a player in the Premier League and had played against Manchester City many times, so Lin Yu told his teammates carelessly that Manchester City was just a paper tiger.

It will break if you poke it.

At that time, Lippi was worried that Lin Yu's words would make the Real Madrid players underestimate the enemy. For this reason, he felt a little uneasy and could not criticize Lin Yu. After all, everyone was in high spirits, and he was afraid of damaging morale.

The reason why Lippi was so worried last night was actually related to Lin Yu's words, so after today's game started, he was still a little uneasy, but now, he is no longer worried. Maybe Manchester City is worried about

For other teams, it is very fierce, but when it comes to Real Madrid, it is a paper tiger!

It was completely different from Lippi's worries. Although the players looked down on Manchester City in interviews before the game, they did not forget to take it seriously during the game. They finally understood what it means to strategically despise and tactically take the enemy seriously.

And it was actually done in the competition.

Lippi is also thinking now, why should I be afraid of Manchester City? Our card strength is stronger than Manchester City! Our foundation is stronger than Manchester City! Our performance is also better than Manchester City! This is still our home court, and we win the game

Isn't it a normal thing?

And Lin Yu's condition is so good today, what else is there to worry about?

For a team that dreams of overthrowing the ancient giants and taking the lead, once the attack fails, there will be a sense of powerlessness. This will be reflected in all aspects, including defense and offense.

Today's Manchester City is the best example. They initially wanted to give Real Madrid a showdown and score a stunning goal. But in the end, they were caught off guard by Real Madrid. The following game was simply too painful.

Some players no longer have the confidence they had at the beginning, while some players still refuse to admit their weaknesses. As a result, some players want to continue to launch more violent attacks, while some players are timid and dare not move forward. At this pace,

The chaos also caused Manchester City to suffer. The second goal conceded was actually the best example.

Not only that, in the next ten minutes or so of the first half, Manchester City was almost out of breath. It was like a person who had been knocked to the ground and tried to get up, but was hit by a rain of fists.

No chance at all.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, all the Manchester City players let out a long sigh. They felt that they were soaked all over, and they had a strange feeling of surviving after a disaster.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that they did not concede a goal in the following period. This also made them feel a little lucky deep in their hearts, feeling that the end of the world has not come yet. As long as they can score a goal in the second half,

It doesn't take too much, just one goal, then you can occupy a more advantageous position in the situation. After all, away goals are very important for a team.

Some media are also cheering for Manchester City, believing that Pellegrini is a master of halftime tactics. Many teams under his leadership, although they did not perform well in the first half, will perform very well in the second half.

Even the on-site commentator said: "Although Real Madrid temporarily led by a score of 2:0 in the first half, this is a relatively subtle score and is not safe for them. In the second half, they need to make greater efforts.

, otherwise if Manchester City pulls back a goal, the situation will become very unfavorable!"

One thing that the media and commentators seem to have ignored is the current mentality of the players.

Manchester City's players are not good at playing against the wind, and they were beaten violently in the first half. Now they are in a trance and have doubts about everything about themselves. Even if Pellegrini is very good,

He is very good at giving the players some advice during the halftime break, but after all, he is not a god, not even a psychiatrist, so it is really difficult for Manchester City to return to normal in the second half.

Looking back at Real Madrid, the players are still very satisfied with the current score. They are all in high spirits and very confident. When they returned to the locker room, they were all discussing how to give Manchester City a harder beating in the second half.

This is completely a sign of confidence and strength.

Comparing the two, we can actually see very clearly how the second half will develop.

It can be said that Real Madrid is bound to win this game. A mere fifteen minutes of rest time will not change anything. If Manchester City wants to use such a short time to rewrite its own destiny, it is no different than those high school students who have not studied hard for three years.

It is sheer daydreaming to rush into a good university as a student.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Real Madrid is a wealthy team with a very deep foundation after all. Although it has not won the Champions League for more than ten years, this kind of foundation will also give the players strong confidence.

In addition, in recent seasons, there have been several opportunities to reach the semi-finals, but what about Manchester City? They are just a mere upstart. It is difficult to even enter the quarter-finals in the Champions League.

Real Madrid players naturally have an absolute psychological advantage when facing Manchester City. They can show confidence and combat effectiveness, which is very normal.

Moreover, having not won the Champions League for more than ten years is like a hungry wolf that has not eaten for several days. Don’t underestimate this hungry wolf’s desire for victory. If you are not careful, you will be torn into pieces by it!

…

During the halftime break, Lippi was very calm. He was not overly happy or disappointed. Instead, he told the players: "Just play like this, don't be proud, let Manchester City take a good look at what it means to be a rich team and what it means to be strong."

Team! Let’s teach them a lesson!”

Lippi, of course, from the bottom of his heart would prefer to expand the score, such as 3:0, 4:0. The bigger the score difference, the better! But he is not willing to create unreasonable pressure on the players, which will not have any impact on the game.

On the contrary, it will make the players lose their current relaxation and calmness. This is undesirable.

In the Manchester City dressing room, Pellegrini said to his players with a serious face: "Do you feel embarrassed? Just feel embarrassed! I have told you before that Real Madrid is not a team that can do anything casually.

For the winning team, you should be fully prepared to fall behind! If you still want to lose face, don’t lower your head, but raise your head. Don’t always look down on yourself. If you want others to think highly of you, you must first think highly of yourself.

Pat your heart and tell yourself that you are the best! It doesn’t matter whether the club is rich or not, don’t have any pressure. I don’t ask you to score a few goals in the second half. As long as you can score one, the score will be rewritten to 1:2.

, I’m satisfied!”

What Pellegrini said is correct. Although Real Madrid is a wealthy club, it may not be invincible. This newly formed Galacticos Phase III still does not have the overwhelming advantage of Barcelona Cosmos. If you want to kill him,

It's not impossible either.

So after listening to his words and carefully considering their performance in the first half, the Manchester City players couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

If they tried their best and still fell behind, they had nothing to say, but the problem was that from the moment Real Madrid scored the first goal in the first half, they fell into a cycle of self-doubt and felt that they were not as good as Real Madrid.

Many players feel that their club is an upstart and cannot compare to traditional giants.

It's like a wealthy person attending a banquet of a wealthy family. He is simply not confident in all kinds of ways.

Perhaps as Pellegrini said, it's not that the strength is inferior to Real Madrid, but that the mentality has long been lost to the opponent. When you yourself think you are not good, who can save you?

It has to be said that Pellegrini is really a master of halftime adjustments. His seemingly innocuous words made the Manchester City players who were originally in a state of confusion and completely unable to unify regain the confidence to win.

, Pellegrini said that just scoring one goal is enough, but the Manchester City players believed that they were humiliated by Real Madrid in the first half, and they must retaliate with an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

It was with this mentality of revenge that every Manchester City player walked into the Bernabeu Stadium with a sullen expression on their faces, which seemed to change the atmosphere on the stadium instantly.

…

Lippi was sensitive to the fact that Manchester City's expression was obviously different from that in the first half, and he suddenly felt a little wary in his heart. He hurriedly walked to the sidelines and told his defenders to be careful of Manchester City's counterattack.

This was a subconscious move on his part, but in the eyes of the Manchester City players, they thought Lippi was starting to be afraid of them, so their fighting spirit became stronger.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City seemed to have suddenly been hit with blood, turning on the mad dog mode, and launched one crazy attack after another.

The strong fighting spirit surprised Real Madrid players and fans.

Thanks to Lippi's previous reminder, otherwise Marcelo would have been directly defeated by Manchester City.

Only five minutes into the game, Manchester City had already had three shots, and each shot was of high quality. If Casillas hadn't played well, it would have been scored.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, Lin Yu called his teammates together and said: "Guys, the guy who was stepped on by us is going to resist now. What should we do?"

"Squash them!"

"Yes, they are afraid of birds. Since they want to fight head-on, let us teach them how to behave! They dare to be so arrogant at the Bernabeu Stadium. You really think that we are all fools! We have a saying in China:

The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, but now we are the local leader, and Manchester City is at best a snake in colorful clothes. If they want to cause trouble at the Bernabeu Stadium, they are simply seeking death!"

"You're right, you're actually going against the grain!"

Although Lin Yu did not wear the captain's armband today, in the minds of the players, he is the captain, and he is a captain who can make the team win. The players are very willing to believe and accept his words.

of.

Although Lin Yu's words are a bit arrogant, why can't he be like that? What he said is right. This is indeed Real Madrid's territory. If Manchester City wants to pretend to be king here, that is to not take them seriously and not give Manchester City

Just look at the color, what will happen in the future? This team dares to come to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to act wild!

He originally had a psychological advantage, and with Lin Yu's fanning the flames, even Lippi on the sidelines could feel that his team members were suddenly on fire. (To be continued...)
