What Alpine can think of, so does Jose.
In the second half of the game, as expected, Real Madrid all retreated. Obviously, he knew his team''s situation very well. At half-time, he said that retreating was for better counterattack, but in fact, he just wanted to ensure that the team''s physical fitness could persist in the whole game without collapse.
It can be said that after the two sides changed sides to fight again, Real Madrid basically defended passively except for two counter attacks and a long-range shot at the beginning.
However, it is obvious that he also expected the cold intention. While retreating in the whole line, the formation was kept very compact, especially in the defense against the midfield of Manchester City, he made great efforts, and mu tinho and Las Diarra suppressed Modric and David Silva.
In the organization of targeted defense, the skill of Jose is still quite high.
After the start of the second half, although Real Madrid''s pressure was weakened, the overall defensive formation was still solid. With the retreat of the whole line, Manchester City still failed to threaten the goal of the galaxy warship.
The pace of the game is very fast, very tense, both sides are very careful, Manchester City control the ball, Real Madrid defense, both sides barely maintain a certain balance, alpine and Jose also dare not easily adjust, make too many changes, especially the replacement.
After 15 minutes in the second half, both sides consumed a lot of physical energy, especially Real Madrid. The pressure of the close down was obviously weakened, but the team of mussio became more compact and almost stuck at the front of the penalty area.
This makes the cold on the sidelines frown.
"Jose is like a stone in a cesspit, smelly and hard!"
Smelly is to describe his temper, hard is to describe his coaching style, especially his defense.
"According to this situation, we can''t break even after the game." Said Brian Kidd, full of complaints.
Alpine nodded, it''s true, especially once the two sides have almost the same physical consumption, the game is likely to be dragged into a draw, which Alpine does not want to see.
Of course, at that time, he will not hesitate to use skill cards to strengthen the team''s offensive.
In the past 11 years, he has been winning in succession. How can he break his winning streak in the hands of Jose?
What''s more, the goal of coaching Manchester City is to win the Champions League. Now it''s only two steps away from the Champions League. He won''t let him succeed in any case.
However, the skill card is his last kill move. Before that, he still has many moves to use.
"Go and warm Gareth bell up." Cold light said.
…………
…………
Manchester City''s substitutes will run out to warm up every other period of time to maintain the heat of physical function, so that they can play more quickly after playing. But if the opponent intends to observe, it is not difficult to find the replacement time, especially in the second half.
As soon as Brian Kidd went to the bench and asked Gareth bell to warm up, the Real Madrid coaching staff immediately received the news, and Jose looked at the Welsh winger far away from the visiting coach''s warm-up.
"Gareth bell!" As he read the names of the players, there was a dignified flash in his eyes.
Of course, he will not forget the Welsh players, because in the Champions League group match half a year ago, Gareth bell blazed the whole Bernabeu stadium, which brought disaster to him and his Real Madrid. It was also that battle that made Welsh people famous.
Gareth bell is good at speed, which is very powerful. After joining Manchester City, his shooting skills have been greatly improved, and the use of Alpine is also very interesting. Welshman is famous on the left side, but Alpine always arranges him to play on the right side to replace Sanchez.
The last time in the Bernabeu, Gareth bell kicked aveloa on the left. What about this time?
Is the Welsh more confident on the left? Or is he playing on the right side this season?
How shrewd Jose is, he soon realized that the left side is more likely.
So, the rest of the suspense is, who will he replace?
In Manchester City''s attacking combination, every player is very important. Benzema is the bridgehead, the tactical fulcrum, and has strong personal ability and scoring ability. It goes without saying that Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sanchez play an obvious role. They are sharp weapons for attacking on the side.
At the moment, I''m afraid that apart from Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, who are in good condition in this game, Benzema and Sanchez are likely to replace a midfield and strengthen the attack.
Very soon, Gareth bell was in full view of the public and ran back. He was pulled to his side by the cold. After whispering some advice, he went to the sideline and was ready to change.
…………
…………
"It''s the 67th minute of the second half and city have made their first substitution of the game
"Gareth bell is going to play. The player''s performance against Real Madrid in the group match is very eye-catching. I don''t know if he can play again this time."
"Let''s see, Gareth Bell''s replacement is Benzema, center Benzema."
"Gao''s substitution is very bold. Benzema is the fulcrum of Manchester City''s front court attack, and the tactical effect is very obvious. However, Gao chose to replace him at this time. It is estimated that Gao also saw that Benzema''s role in the attack between Albiol and Bruno Alves is not obvious after Real Madrid''s contraction of defense."
"But what will Gareth bell do when he comes on?"
"Cristiano Ronaldo was moved to the middle and Gareth bell was on the left. It should be a sign to strengthen the attack
"Jose appears to be a little nervous on the sidelines, shouting for Real Madrid players, obviously adjusting tactics for Manchester City''s substitution, but the Portuguese madman still hasn''t followed up
"It''s not surprising. After all, it''s hard to predict the current situation of both sides, and the effect of replacement is not obvious."
…………
…………
Gareth bell is very excited to be at the Bernabeu again.
This is the second time that he has stepped into this stadium in his career. The last time he made a big name here, and this time it is the semi-final of the Champions League. Gareth bell is eager to play the same level as he did six months ago.
And block in front of him, is still the last old opponent, aveloa.
The Spanish right back has been panting for a long time. When he saw him, his face was dignified and he looked like a big enemy.
Gareth bell strides over and smiles at aveloa. "Hello, long time no see."
But it was a cold hum from aveloa that responded to him. Obviously, the last meeting was a nightmare for him.
Whether at the Bernabeu stadium or the city stadium in Manchester, Gareth Bell has created quite a number of threats on his side, which has led to the rout of Real Madrid.
Now meet again, Gareth bell is still on the bench, young and strong, full of physical strength, but aveloa has been destroyed by Cristiano Ronaldo for more than an hour, physical strength has already been consumed severely, plus the shadow of those two games half a year ago, how can aveloa not worry?
When the game started again, Manchester City were more likely to catch the wings.
The abacus of high cold is very clear. Gareth bell and Sanchez are at the forefront of the front line. They pull the width of Real Madrid''s defensive formation from the two sides. Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka are retreating, playing back and putting in threats.
This arrangement makes Real Madrid''s defense very difficult, especially the two wings, which are easy to fall into a one-on-one situation.
Gareth bell took the ball for the first time after he came on the court, which was a cross from David Silva. After the Welshman got the ball, he saw a loophole, used his speed to break through avelloa, and fired with his left foot.
The Welshman''s shot was powerful and heavy, like a thunderbolt, with a good angle.
Casillas was forced to block the ball with both hands in the face of a sudden long-range shot in the penalty area. He was even nearly tilted. But he stood up for the first time and saw Kaka plug in from the back row to make a supplementary shot. He jumped up and hit the ball again.
Two consecutive high-level saves in front of the goal made Casillas win the applause of the Bernabeu stadium.
But only Real Madrid''s defenders who are really on the field can deeply understand the fear that they may be scored by the other side anytime and anywhere.
Everyone has tried their best, but they still can''t completely block the attack of the other side. They are worried all the time. They don''t know when, from what angle and in what way the other side will break through the defense line and make a killing.
Soon, the game started again.
Manchester City are still in accordance with their original rhythm, patiently organizing and planning the attack, the focus is to play two wings fly together, and then from the two wings back to the middle.
In the 71st minute, Gareth bell on the left side tried to break through after getting the ball, which made both aveloa and RAS Diarra close to each other. However, the Welshman suddenly crossed the middle. After David Silva got the ball in the back, he was tripped by Felipe Melo and fouled. Manchester City won a free kick.
Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty himself. With an accurate defoliation kick, he bypassed the wall. When he fell rapidly, he was able to wipe the bottom line in the upper right corner.
This goal once again let Real Madrid up and down all startled a cold sweat, if the Portuguese in the ball pressure a little lower, it is a dead end goal, Casillas can not save.
Soon, Manchester City''s attack made a comeback, but this time it was from the middle. After Modric and Kaka cooperated continuously, Cristiano Ronaldo caught the ball at the front of the penalty area. Just before he started, he was tripped by Albiol.
But the referee stark thinks that Albiol first touched the ball and didn''t blow a foul, but from the slow motion playback, Albiol is indeed a foul.
For this kind of details happened in the blink of an eye, even the two sides may not be absolutely sure to distinguish between right and wrong, but Manchester City still protested to Stark''s decision.
Maybe after Gareth bell came on the court and Manchester City adjusted their position, they played more actively on the left side, which led to Real Madrid''s defensive focus on this side. On the contrary, they relaxed their defense on the right side.
Sanchez raised his hand to ask for the ball on the right side when he failed to break through on the left to pass back to Kaka at the front of the penalty area and the Brazilian had to pass back to Xabi Alonso.
The left side of Real Madrid is empty!
