Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man.

At the beginning of the second half, both sides took advantage of the opening momentum to threaten the opponent's goal. Aguero's shot was slightly higher, while Bell's breakthrough Otamendi almost caused a foul in the penalty area. In the second half, Real Madrid defender Pepe and Manchester City defender Otamendi started their respective performances. The two made many tackles and perfectly blocked the opponent's attack.

Pepe even stole the ball twice and then dribbled the ball into Longtan at high speed.

In the second half of the game, Manchester City's double midfielders began to be fully suppressed. Fernandinho probably consumed his physical energy due to the pressing in the first half and made many consecutive passing mistakes. At this time, Manchester City's offense began to lack patience. Tammendi and Kompany repeatedly tried to find Aguero with long passes.

On the one hand, Pepe's defensive positioning is excellent. On the other hand, Aguero is about 15 centimeters shorter than Pepe, so this offensive routine is easily resolved. Iheanacho, who replaced Silva, rarely moved to contain the opponent's defenders for Aguero and De Bruyne. On the other side, after Real Madrid left Benzema, Bell began to take on more responsibilities. He was no longer limited to the right wing as in the first half, and began to expand his range of activities.

Manchester City is well aware of Bell's speed threat and has been limiting the size of Bell's surrounding area. When players cannot keep up (including Silva's foul in the first half), they decisively choose to foul to minimize Bell's threat. In this case, Bell also pulled an arc in the penalty area to try to kill the game.

After Real Madrid established a possession advantage after 50 minutes, the two full-backs entered the attack more frequently, but Manchester City's defense was deep. These resulted in multiple corner kicks for Real Madrid as well as a free kick from the line of the penalty area. In terms of corner kick defense, Manchester City did not do very well. Ramos, Casemiro and Pepe each created an opportunity that could directly kill the game, and Hart's position selection was extremely good. Real Madrid's goal The ball is a bit out of reach.

In the final stage of the game, Real Madrid began to speed up across the board, but this also brought certain hidden dangers to the team's backcourt. After the offense was resolved, Manchester City had two 3-on-3 opportunities in Real Madrid's half. If Pepe had not played bravely, Manchester City players Maybe kill the game. In the final stage, De Bruyne forced a break through Carvajal and created a free kick. De Bruyne, who took the penalty shot, chose to hit the goal directly to create a threat.

Manchester City's counterattack in the final stage of the game continued to pose a threat, which also explained why Real Madrid had been trying to suppress the rhythm before. The final score was fixed at 0-0, which also left the suspense at the Bernabeu Stadium. Generally speaking, Real Madrid has the advantage in this game. Real Madrid's midfield advantage is really huge, Kroos's passing is stable, and Modric's passing is weird. The performance of these two completely suppressed Fernando and Fernandinho.

On the back line, the defenders of both teams were very stable, and Otamendi and Pepe performed perfectly. As for the attacker, Bell raised the banner of Real Madrid's offense, but he failed to make a breakthrough. Aguero could only create two chances due to the weak offensive support in the midfield. Iheanacho had no sense of presence, which shows that Manchester City needs to think about how to transfer the ball from the backcourt to the midfielder in the best way to the forward.

In the Bernabeu battle, judging from the performance of this game, if Ronaldo continues to miss the game, Real Madrid will open 64 against Manchester City, and if Ronaldo returns from injury in time, the game will be more difficult for Manchester City. Personally, I feel that Real Madrid will beat Manchester City by at most 2 points in the next game.

Whether Manchester City can advance depends on whether Pellegrini can improve Manchester City's offense.

This game was full of drama. Both sides had key players injured, and there were also players who retired midway through injury. Overall, the fate was fair.

For Manchester City, Yaya Toure was watching the game. David Silva, the only metronome in the midfield, came off due to a strain. God threw the only cheating indicator to Joe Hart.

De Bruyne proved with undisputed performance that he is qualified to become the core of the city. After Silva left the field in this campaign, the only tactical unfamiliarity in Manchester City's midfield disappeared, resulting in Fernando and Fernandinho being "exhausted". This was one of the reasons for the disconnect between Manchester City's midfield and backfield in the second half. On Real Madrid's side, Cristiano Ronaldo was watching the game on the bench. Benzema's old injury relapsed and the number of players was reduced in the battle. Fortunately, the forward line led by Modric and Toni Kroos faced the squeezing frontcourt press and got enough. With tactical weight, he produced the most brilliant offensive and defensive balance performance of the season.

Based on Casemiro's defensive hardness, the two men's game reading and technical advantages are fully displayed. The focus of this competition is the coordination and orderliness of the offensive and defensive ends of the midfield, emphasizing the high degree of coordination of local tactics. To put it bluntly, what is considered is the understanding of the most cutting-edge tactical ideas of modern football, which one is higher and which one is lower.

The result of the game was dull. There were too many outstanding points in the scene, from parts to the whole.

The lack of goals makes the game really not exciting enough. If you don't just look at the scene, this Champions League semi-final can help a lot of fans deepen their understanding of the offensive and defensive balance of modern football.

Comparing the diagrams of the key players of the two teams, Real Madrid has a clear advantage in the midfield, and the one who wins the midfield wins the world. The Galaxy Battleship playing away from home is actually at a disadvantage in the confrontation level. When the two full-backs reach the center circle, the technical advantage and The overall team collaboration immediately surpassed that of Manchester City, which is enough to show how much the injury list of the two teams affected the game.

Manchester City's most significant presence is the defense, which reflects from the side that the loss of power in the midfield has put too much pressure on the defenders.

Pellegrini's tactical thinking is quite clear. He relies on a strong double midfielder to press high in the midfield. He does not have enough hardness against the BC combination and tries to find scoring opportunities through suppression.

The only problem is that when they have the ball, Manchester City's midfielder has enough mobility and aggression, but lacks horizontal connection and passing accuracy. As the controller of the organization and offensive rhythm, David Silva is under too much pressure. Big, it makes people miss Yaya Toure greatly. The strategic mistake was that Pellegrini underestimated the technical advantages possessed by the visiting team's midfielder.

As the game progressed, Real Madrid's players discovered Manchester City's weakness after adapting to the intensity of the fight: due to technical disadvantages, the frontcourt penetration ability was insufficient, which meant that Manchester City would easily lose the ball in local confrontations, so the key to the game was The point turned into a fight for the ball. As a new coach, Zidane has not yet "exposed his weaknesses". He has unparalleled practical experience in the player era.

He has also experienced the dilemma of the French national team being "powerless" for many years - this is a valuable asset for future coaching. In addition, he is very good at comparing opponents. Here I have to mention again the second round of El Clasico Q this season. Barcelona provided Real Madrid's "rookie coach" with a very practical game yardstick.

Comparing the two, Manchester City has the following disadvantages

Technique and game reading are a mixed bag.

The forwards have a single function (especially De Bruyne and Navas).

In a dense defensive situation, the forwards cannot get better support.

The bench is not deep enough - specifically in the midfield (Real Madrid is actually not deep enough either).

These disadvantages make Manchester City's ball holding effect in the opponent's penalty area very poor, and the passing route map faithfully restores the problems that exist in the home team's actual combat state.

They were all fighting for the midfield. Manchester City still had a methodical way through the center circle, but they encountered a strong defense in the middle of the 20-meter area.

Even if the two wingers once hit the edge of the visiting team's penalty area (i.e., the ribs), so what? Without reasonable transfers, it is impossible to make full use of the wings and ribs, and the offensive rhythm is too simple. Most direct passes from the center are The red line (failure) ended and the ball was frequently lost. The competition was about the ability to run back and forth. If this continues, the midfield advantage was directly given to Real Madrid in the second half.
