Chapter 502 Who needs goals more

Zhang Yuan and Kaka all stood up and applauded Adebayor, but there was a trace of hypocrisy in the smiles of some people, such as Zhang Yuan, Kaka, and Higuain, you can’t say that they Without a sense of collective honor, they also hope that Real Madrid can advance to the next round smoothly, but they also hope that they will score goals, and no one needs goals more than them.

"Today started very well, maybe we will get some opportunities!" Zhang Yuan gossiped in Kaka's ear again.

Kaka didn't say anything, he didn't think Tottenham Hotspur was that easy to deal with. In fact, he had fought more Premier League clubs than Zhang Yuan. The night of Istanbul left a deep impression on him. Never underestimate the determination of your opponent to fight.

Maybe they will have the last laugh.

Tottenham Hotspur conceded the goal so early, obviously a bit angry, conceding the goal at the beginning is far more damaging to the morale of the players than conceding the goal after 20 minutes. Hold up a sky in the midfield.

Now it is even more unbearable, and the players are even more impatient. In the 8th minute, Crouch was shown a yellow card for the shovel Ramos. Only a few minutes later, Crouch chased Marcelo with the shovel. Got a second yellow card and sent off undisputed.

Ramos is on the right and Marcelo is on the left, but Crouch insisted on relying on his long feet and his proficient "defensive skills" to put Real Madrid's two full-backs on the ground in turn.

When he wakes up, the red card at home has already arrived. To be honest, this red card is really not controversial.
Crouch begged hard, and the collective pressure from his teammates failed to change any decision of the referee, and Crouch was sent off.

Tottenham, where the situation is already grim, has lost one player. How can we fight this battle? Redknapp is having a headache on the sidelines. This Crouch only grows but not IQ. You don’t look at whose territory this is, why is it like this? rash.

We all know that the standards of referees in the Premier League are relatively large. Perhaps Crouch will not be punished with a red card for these two fouls, but this is the Champions League, and the standards here are much stricter, let alone Real Madrid's home court.

The forward was sent off. Redknapp did not make a substitution, but played without a forward. To be precise, it is not considered to be without a forward. Van der Vaart can mention a forward. Van der Vaart is this season. Tottenham, who only went to Tottenham at the last moment of the summer transfer, originally came back this time with a heart of revenge, but his team obviously let him down. He fell behind so quickly and there is one less person. How could he have a chance for revenge? .

Mourinho also relaxed a lot. Tottenham now has one less player. Although he is a striker, the impact is still quite large. Crouch is oppressing Real Madrid's back line in the frontcourt, and he is still a high point. , The tactical role is obvious, now that the field is off, Real Madrid's back line can press forward further.

Van der Vaart is not the kind of counter-attack striker, his speed is not fast, Mourinho is very aware of his characteristics, the effect of counter-attacking Van der Vaart is not good, Mourinho began to unscrupulously demand that Real Madrid's formation should continue to press forward .

Tottenham have completely lost hope of competing for the midfielder, and can only passively choose to hide and defend. Redknapp has nothing to do about it. He wants to change after 20 minutes, but who will change? I want to replace Van der Vaart most, because Van der Vaart's characteristic is not a speed forward, nor is he a pure forward.

But replacing Van der Vaart in 20 minutes is definitely not a good idea. Van der Vaart performed very well after arriving at Tottenham Hotspur. He is also a very capable player. The main force in the frontcourt is Redknapp I am deeply afraid that the move of changing people will affect the relationship between the two people.

And van der Vaart can also shrink to the midfield, no striker, no striker, at least Real Madrid can't easily pass through the midfield.

Redknapp had his own considerations, but the situation on the court was not like this. Van der Vaart wanted to slap Real Madrid in the face. After Crouch got off, he was not so happy to retreat. Unlike the head coach, he believes that even if he goes back, it is impossible for Tottenham to take advantage of the midfield.

Real Madrid is currently pressing forward with a large army, and the back line is very strong in supporting the midfield. With or without him, he will control the situation. He thinks he might as well stay in the frontcourt as much as possible.

Tottenham are very passive now, Real Madrid's attack wave after wave, their gate is crumbling, Gomez is not as easy as Juan Pablo, the quality of Real Madrid's shots today is better than the last game against Sporting Gijon Significant improvement, Gomez made 2 key saves in a row, if it weren't for him, Real Madrid would already have two goals in hand.

Fortunately, with him, Tottenham kept the 0:1 score in the first half. Redknapp is not a fool. As expected, Tottenham’s blind defense is unreliable, but he can’t even find a solution without one person. come out.

Mourinho was quite dissatisfied with the dissatisfaction in the first half. The effect was much better than against Sporting Gijon, but the team only got a one-goal advantage. Max performed well, but Real Madrid's players did not perform well and failed to grasp many opportunities.

Cristiano Ronaldo turned on the wave shooting mode again, constantly increasing the number of shots. In the first half, he completed eight shots alone, but did not score a goal. In the second half, he may set a record. The number of shots by a single player, But it would certainly be an embarrassing record if no goals were scored.

"I'm not satisfied with your performance! Well, yes, not satisfied! We deserved a 3-0 result in the first half, but you didn't make it! It's not my problem, it's your problem! You should Think about why the opponent's goal is so difficult to attack!"

The result of Mourinho's displeasure is to change, even if it is the goal hero, he also changes. Adebayor scored a goal, but this guy does not satisfy the coach. He is also keen to shoot and waste opportunities , He completed 6 shots in the first half, but also wasted two excellent opportunities. Mourinho thought that he was not as lucky as he seemed, so he simply let him off during the intermission and let Zhang Yuan come out to replace him His forward position.

This substitution adjustment is a bit weird to say, isn't Higuain supposed to be in the draft? !
Zhang Yuan is happy, but Higuain is very disappointed. Is this a new account, maybe the new center will be Zhang Yuan as the main force? !
Ozil was also replaced. This guy seemed to be more influenced by the national team's game. He didn't recover from the game. Kaka replaced him.

Neither Zhang Yuan nor Kaka on the bench thought that the two of them really played at the same time. At this moment, the two of them gave a tacit look, and the alliance was officially formed.

Mourinho sent Zhang Yuan and Kaka at the same time, which changed the team's strategy. When Ozil was on the court, he mostly used passing balls to create threats. Now that Zhang Yuan and Kaka are on the court, it is clear that The focus is on breakthroughs.

He considered a lot. In the second half, Redknapp must make adjustments. If there is no accident, he must change the striker. In the first half, they only had a pitiful shot. The absence of a real threat in the frontcourt is also the main reason. Mourinho guessed that Redknapp would definitely deploy a speed forward, that is Defoe.

When there is a speedy striker in front, Redknapp mostly adopts defensive counterattack tactics, using Defoe's speed to attack Real Madrid's back line.

Mourinho doesn't want the team to use excessive offside tactics, because forwards like Defoe rely on anti-offside for their food, so Mourinho's choice will definitely not make Real Madrid's back line overly pressured. Will choose a safe defensive posture.

It's not 5:0 now, it doesn't matter if you lose a goal, and it's hard for Tottenham Hotspur to come back at home. Now it's 1:0, and it's enough for Real Madrid to drink a pot if you lose a goal. 1:1 is embarrassing, 1 :2 That's a shame. To put it bluntly, even if Real Madrid wins Tottenham 2:1, it is definitely not a happy thing.

Of course, the safe defense in the second half was not only due to Defoe. In fact, Tottenham’s impact on the two wings in the first half also had a profound impact on Mourinho, especially Bale on the right. The ability to break through is not only known now. In the group stage, Tottenham Hotspur played against the defending champion Inter Milan, and Bell suffered a lot for Inter Milan.
