Chapter 555 Signs of Attack (Third)
Chapter 566 Signs of Attack
Referee Sanchez Martinez blew the whistle to end the first half.

"The first half ended. The two sides entered the locker room after a very dull first half. From the situation in the first half, we can see that this game is a very crucial and important game for both sides! Neither team dared to show their flaws easily, and they were very cautious in the first half!"

"This is actually very normal. After all, this game is a game that both sides can't afford to lose, but this is not the case for the fans. What everyone hopes to see is a wonderful game, not a dull game with zero to zero."

The commentators criticized the performance of both sides in the first half in the commentary booth.

In the stands, Florentino's expression was not very good.

Real Madrid's performance really made Florentino feel ashamed.

The Real Madrid chairman, who advocates a superstar policy, has brought in Mourinho in order to fight against Barcelona's dominance in La Liga after a failed Galacticos period, and has made unprecedented compromises in many aspects of the team.

For example, he can even accept that Real Madrid is a team that mainly plays defensive counterattacks.

In 2010, Mourinho led Inter Milan to overthrow the mighty Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and then led the team to the Champions League.For a time, Mourinho was conferred as a god, and the anti-counterfeiting tactics were rejuvenated. The outside world regarded him as the only person who could challenge the Barcelona dynasty.Real Madrid, who was overwhelmed by Barcelona, ​​quickly dug Mourinho over, hoping that Mourinho could turn things around.

However, Mourinho's first season was not successful, which in Florentino's view, was due to the rise of Atletico Madrid.

Now La Liga has entered the era of the troika. Atletico Madrid, which Beflorentino looked down upon in the past, is now a strong contender for the league title.

And Real Madrid was even humiliated by Atletico Madrid zero to five. This is the worst defeat Mourinho has suffered in his coaching career so far.

And this season, Real Madrid finally adjusted their lineup and tactics slowly.Mourinho created a counterattack-based quick defense tactical system for Real Madrid, and up to now, Real Madrid is also able to occupy the top of the standings.

But from the first half of the game, Florentino began to worry.

If this game is really zero-to-zero, Real Madrid will not only be behind Atletico Madrid, they will also be behind Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid has one game less, even if the game is really tied, Barcelona will only lead them by two points if they win, and Atletico Madrid has one game less, which means they still have a chance to overtake Barcelona.

And what about Real Madrid?
They do still have a chance to play against Barcelona, ​​but if they want to win the league, they must win all the next league games and at the same time look at the situation of Atletico Madrid.

Florentino was upset, but he still resisted the urge to enter the locker room.

He hopes that Real Madrid can play beautiful offensive football in this game, and then defeat Atletico Madrid, to prove to people that Real Madrid is still the boss of Madrid City, not the gang of Atletico Madrid hillbillies.

He looked at Cerezo not far away.

In general, Cerezo is much easier to get along with than the old Hill, but this guy got lucky and found a head coach like Gao Bo.

Florentino looked into the field again.

He remembered that when Mendes recommended the head coach to him, the names of Mourinho and Gao Bo appeared in front of him at the same time.

But at that time Mourinho was the champion of the Champions League, while Gao Bo was only the champion of the Europa League.

Florentino chose Mourinho without hesitation.

Gao Bo went to Atletico Madrid.

Florentino thought to himself, if he had chosen Gao Bo.
There is no turning back.

It is absolutely impossible for Gao Bo to join Real Madrid.

Because he is the head coach of Atletico Madrid.

Gao Bo will not have any opinions on Real Madrid, but as the head coach of Atletico Madrid, if he leaves Atletico Madrid and goes directly to Atletico Madrid's arch-enemy, the damage to the fans can be imagined.

Gao Bo respects the culture of these footballs.

So even if he wants to leave, he will not consider Real Madrid.

At this time in the locker room, Gao Bo praised the team's performance in the first half.

Although the fans were drowsy, Gao Bo was very satisfied with the scene.

This shows that the rhythm control is on Atletico Madrid's side. Although there is no attack, the main axis of Atletico Madrid in this game is defense!
A score of zero to zero, most fans will not like.

But in fact, for many coaches, a score of zero to zero is not a bad score.

There are even head coaches who believe that the perfect score in football is zero to zero - because it means that neither team has made a mistake.

But Gao Bo disagrees with this.But in this game, Atletico Madrid seemed to be really aiming for a zero-to-zero game.

This is an absolutely acceptable result for Gao Bo.

For Mourinho, it may be difficult for him to accept this result.

In the second half, Real Madrid began to consciously strengthen their offense.

The starting premise of Marcelo's position is a signal.

In the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo pulled very far. This is a typical winger's style of play, but Ronaldo is not a typical winger. His most powerful area is still slightly to the left of the front of the penalty area. In this area, Ronaldo can hit the goal at any time.

And the position on the side can only be handed over to Marcelo.

This is also one of the reasons why Coentrao lost to Marcelo in the competition.

Marcelo's playing style can help Ronaldo's offensive performance on the left.

In 1 minute of the game, Ronaldo shot directly after receiving a pass from Marcelo on the left. Although the football missed the post, it seemed to sound the horn of Real Madrid's attack.

In 6 minutes, Real Madrid's offense made a comeback.

It was on Ronaldo's side again, he attracted the attention of the defense and gave Marcelo space to get down.

After Marcelo hit the bottom, he passed the ball back to Ozil, and Ozil then passed the ball to Ronaldo who had adjusted his pace.

Ronaldo's shot from the penalty area line flew to the goal against the turf, and then hit the outside edge of the goal post and went out of the baseline.

"Ronaldo!!!!!!"

Aduriz jumped up from his seat in shock.

Not to mention him, even the Atlético de Madrid fans exclaimed!
"Real Madrid stepped up their offensive in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot hit the post, Atletico Madrid be careful!!!"

Matteo said from the side.

Gao Bo frowned, then walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded Kanter to pay attention to the defense!
Gao Bo was not surprised that Real Madrid would attack.

So he asked his team to do defense first.

In such a crucial battle, defense comes first.

High risks bring high returns, but Gao Bo can't afford to take risks if he can safely win the league championship.

And if Real Madrid really presses up to attack, Atletico Madrid will not be able to defend and counterattack!

Gao Bo looked at Real Madrid's backcourt, the defensive system is still very complete.

It seems.. Real Madrid is still cautious enough!
However, Gao Bo has already smelled the unstoppable impulse in Real Madrid's heart.

Their players want to attack!
Look at Marcelo's expression when he walked back, he turned his head three times a step!
Apparently, the Brazilian defender felt much better staying up front.

If Mourinho hadn't been telling him to go back on the sidelines, Marcelo might not have returned to the defense honestly.
