Chapter 634 As Simple As Breathing (Fourth)
Chapter 645 As Simple as Breathing

Although the goal of leading by two goals was not achieved in the first half, Gao Bo did not criticize the team's performance during the intermission.

After all, Real Madrid is not an ordinary team, and it is not so easy to break through Iker Casillas' goal.

And what Gao Bo thinks now is, after scoring a goal in the first half, he didn't go all out and score another goal, so what should he do in the second half?
Real Madrid has already reacted. If Manchester City continues to attack, it may give the opponent an opportunity.

As mentioned earlier, Ancelotti has inherited the rapid defense system created by Mourinho, and the current Real Madrid team is very good at defensive counterattacks.

In fact, let's talk about the time period after Manchester City's attack in the first half, Real Madrid is a bit about to start, but Gao Bo's team is good at counter-robbing on the spot.

After losing the ball, no matter what the situation was at the time, the counterattack was launched immediately, and the other players were familiar with the defense. When Real Madrid passed the ball to the frontcourt, the two lines of defense had already been organized.

Therefore, Real Madrid will inevitably fall into the quagmire of positional battles with Manchester City most of the time.

It's just that Gao Bo's set of tactics requires players' resolute execution and excellent physical fitness.

In terms of physical fitness, Gao Bo has cards to help him, and he also pays great attention to physical training, which is not a problem.

Therefore, when Gao Bo selected players, he paid great attention to the execution ability of the players!

For example, a player like Milner may not be top-notch in terms of ability alone, but in fact Gao Bo likes to use this type of player-because of his strong execution!
Gao Bo likes to use young players based on this.

Because young people have good physical fitness, and young players are obedient.

However, it is still very dangerous to lead by one goal, so in the second half, Gao Bo was ready to control the game.

"It's a pity. We were able to score one more goal in the first half. But there's no need to worry about it, look forward, guys. A game is nine and 10 minutes, we are only one goal ahead, this score is dangerous. So in the second half we have to control the football at our feet."

Everyone knows how to play in the second half.

Keep the ball firmly under your feet and pass it back and forth.Don't rush to attack, kill time.

Unlike the previous as many through passes as possible, in the second half, as many cross passes and return passes as possible.

This is a tactic that Gao Bo used in Atletico Madrid.

In Manchester City, he also emphasized the passing cooperation on the ground from the beginning.

In fact, there can be many kinds of offense, and the same is true for defense.

Keeping the ball under your feet so that your opponent can't grab it is the best defense.

Ancelotti believes that Gao Bo may attack again after the start of the second half.

Because Manchester City kicked off first in the second half, from the perspective of the first half, Gao Bo should not be reconciled to leading by only one goal, or in other words, he is worried about leading by only one goal.

Especially 5 minutes before the start of the second half, it should be Manchester City's attacking Gao Cao! !
This time is also an opportunity for Real Madrid! !
As long as Real Madrid has a solid defense, it should be possible to get the golden ball! !
So Ancelotti asked the team to defend and counterattack in the second half and stop with silence!

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid stood firmly in the backcourt, waiting for Manchester City to attack.

But when Manchester City kicked off, they did not make a big push. Instead, they started from striker Hazard and passed back all the way to the feet of goalkeeper Oblak.

Oblak was able to replace Hart in the starting position, naturally he was outstanding because he was valued by Gao Bo.

First of all, in terms of handling the ball, the young Oblak has a maturity that his age does not have.

Especially the handling of the ball at the foot.

Hart is basically a traditional England goalkeeper, he reacts quickly and saves well.But he doesn't use his feet very well.
In Gao Bo's tactics, the goalkeeper and the team as a whole are linked together.

He demanded a strong bond between the goalkeeper and the defenders, and the goalkeeper was an important point of entry and exit when pass control was required.

Hart couldn't complete this job, but Oblak did a good job.

After receiving the ball, Oblak did not take the ball with a big foot, nor did he pass the ball immediately.

He made a move to pass the ball, but the Real Madrid players didn't come up, so he just put his foot on the football.

Then he passed the ball again, but there were still no Real Madrid players coming up, so he simply stopped in the penalty area, as if he would not pass the ball if the Real Madrid players didn't come up.

This is obviously going to delay the game time. If Oblak is holding the ball with his hands at this time, naturally the referee will not allow him to delay for too long, and now he is controlling the ball with his feet, the referee can't control it.

Because football is in motion, the referee does not interfere with how long a player must have possession of the ball, there is no such thing in the rules.

There were sharp boos at the scene.

Real Madrid fans quit.

Such a blatant, shameless procrastination, this Manchester City player is really shameless! !
The Real Madrid fans booed desperately, while the Real Madrid players knew they couldn't let the other party delay so much, so they had to come up to grab the ball.

And Oblak didn't overdo it when facing Benzema. He passed the ball steadily to Kompany, and Kompany passed it to the foot of Zabaleta on the wing.

Zabaleta receives the ball and passes it forward to David Silva.

As soon as David Silva has the ball, Real Madrid's players shrink back.

They are like enemies.

Manchester City obviously wanted to attract them, and then use the space behind them to fight back!
So Real Madrid is very vigilant.

It's just that David Silva saw that there was no counterattack ahead, and he passed the ball back to central defender Kolo Toure.

Kolo Toure then passed the ball to goalkeeper Oblak. Manchester City briefly passed the ball around. After Real Madrid quickly retracted, the ball returned to Oblak's feet!

Naturally, it is impossible for Real Madrid to give up this game easily, especially when they are only one goal behind.

So in the next game, they changed their strategy.

Ancelotti gave up the tactics of defensive counterattack, and Real Madrid pressed up, besieging Manchester City's players.

Of course they know that such words will give Manchester City room to fight back, but now that Real Madrid is behind, they must bear such risks.

Otherwise, Manchester City will consume Real Madrid to death in such a way of boiling frogs in warm water in this game!

And this is actually what Manchester City hopes. After Real Madrid pressed them, they also strengthened their counterattack.

In the next game, the two sides will attack and defend each other!

But no one was able to score.

Real Madrid had two great chances, but Benzema couldn't take them.

The same is true for Manchester City.

Several counterattacks were blocked by Casillas, and Real Madrid's goalkeeper performed very bravely today.

When the game came to stoppage time, Real Madrid was already in full force, and the offensive became even crazier.

It was just a goal difference, so Real Madrid was very desperate at the last moment.

They launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Manchester City's goal.

And during this time, people can see Manchester City's defense.

The most important thing for any head coach to take office is to focus on defense first.

Only a team with a solid defense can remain invincible in a long season, and then laugh at the end in this marathon-like league run.

The same is true for Gao Bo. In the past few minutes, Manchester City has returned to defense across the board, and they have withstood Real Madrid's onslaught in the final stage!

When Ronaldo's last shot missed the post, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Manchester City beat Real Madrid [-]-[-] away in their first Champions League game of the season!Real Madrid once again fell at the feet of the team led by Gao Bo.

"The game is over! The game is over!!!"

"Manchester City withstood Real Madrid's final onslaught. In the first Champions League game of this season, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid away and won the Champions League! At the same time, this is Manchester City's fifth consecutive victory in all competitions! Gao Bo's team has shown a very good state!"

When the commentators were busy making the final conclusion, Gao Bo stood up from his seat. He didn't feel that the victory of this game was of great significance.

It's only three points, but there are still five games in the group stage.

Gao Bo tidied up his coat, and then walked towards Ancelotti, who was a little frustrated. After the two shook hands, he walked towards the pitch and hugged Manchester City players one by one.

The TV cameras followed him and there was no doubt that this was yet another victory against Real Madrid.

Now if you choose an opponent that Real Madrid does not want to face, it is estimated that Gao Bo will be elected with a high number of votes.
He has never lost to Real Madrid.

"It seems that for Gao Bo, winning at the Bernabeu is as easy as breathing."

The commentator Letkinson said with emotion.
