My name is Colani

Chapter 845 138 Battle of the Bernabeu 3

Hugo was also helpless. Florentino's face was calm, but in fact he was quite worried. Trapani really lived up to his reputation. He was better than Real Madrid in terms of player ability and overall quality. He had to admit it. Mourinho made the right choice.

Of course, what makes Florentino salivate is Trapani's players. They are really delicious, but poaching is really difficult, and Trapani is the most short of money.

Lafayette knows that last year, Trapani's revenue reached a historical breakthrough and the team's finances have stabilized. They will definitely not be subject to UEFA's financial fairness policy this year.

Don’t forget that Trapani has a strong backing, and it’s actually very easy to give support.

After fifteen minutes of intermission, the two sides quickly entered the second half.

Mourinho did not make any adjustments to the team. Of course, he made some arrangements in the defensive details, just to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. His attitude was very determined. According to his inner thoughts, he actually got a 0:0 at home. The score is really not a bad thing.

Wenger originally had some ideas. He wanted to take risks and play as a double striker. From the first half, Suarez found it a bit difficult to mix in the penalty area alone, but the risk was too great, so in the end he did not Adjustment.

No nonsense, Real Madrid still gave up possession after the opening. In the first half, they got a shameful possession rate. They only had 30%, and Trapani was their two. twice as much.

In the 49th minute, Trapani attacked in the frontcourt, Maggio made a pass, and Suarez nodded the ball forward and hit the goal post, forming the first threatening attack in the second half.

A few minutes later, in the 55th minute, Mourinho took the lead in making a substitution, replacing Adebayor with Higuain. Adebayor did nothing for more than 50 minutes. You can't blame him. The backcourt often calls for clearances instead of long passes. It's difficult for Adebayor to use his advantage. Mourinho thought about it and just played Ronaldo in the second half.

Higuain has returned from injury. This is only his second substitute appearance, but his support ability is still good. Mourinho hopes that he can resonate with Cristiano Ronaldo and Ozil. At the same time, he is in the formation After some adjustments, Ozil's position is closer to the center, more like an attacking midfielder, and Ronaldo and Higuain are a bit like double centers.

Ozil's skills are very good. He was a blockbuster in last summer's World Cup. In the new season, he is the player with the most assists in Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo also benefited from this. However, in the first half, he was on the wing and his organizational ability was limited. , Trapani guards him more strictly, and generally during counterattacks, Ronaldo has more opportunities to get the ball, and Ozil distributes less ball rights.

But Mourinho asked him to move to the center, and everything changed. Real Madrid was playing 4312. Ozil could get the ball more often, and his ability to control the ball and organize the ball could be brought into play. Although Mourinho wanted to Although the ball is always at Trapani's feet, it is definitely not a good thing.

Mourinho's change of tactics caught Trapani off guard. Ozil is not a stickler for the ball. His one-touch ability and vision are very good. Trapani's regional defense is somewhat difficult. , Real Madrid took the initiative after 55 minutes, but they tend to be more thunderous than rainy.

Mourinho was always too cautious and did not dare to invest too much force, which led to their frontcourt offensive methods being too single. Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed very powerful, and his two long-range shots were very powerful. It seemed as if he was still a little short of a goal. Luck is actually just a helpless choice.

The fans at the Bernabeu were a little excited. As Real Madrid advanced with the ball time and time again or Ozil's beautiful play in the middle, they cheered loudly for the Galacticos.

Trapani did not back down from this momentum and temporary disadvantage, especially the partnership of David Luiz and Boateng. Although they are young, last year's Champions League winning process and this year's league championship have given them infinite Their confidence has improved very quickly. At this moment, they are the thorn in the sea. Ozil's two hidden passes to Higuain were successfully resolved by them. Ronaldo also has difficulty in overcoming this line of defense. The penalty area seems to have become Ronaldo's. forbidden area.

Wenger was not in a hurry. Instead, he expected his opponent to come out, but Mourinho obviously disappointed him. He had to think about countermeasures. It was too risky to change to a forward, but when he turned his attention to Kaká, who was warming up on the sidelines, At this time, his eyes lit up, and he also planned to change the formation 4312, continue to control the ball, and at the same time increase the contact points in the penalty area.

It's not a risk for Kaka to play, not to mention that Kaka has been in good form recently!

"I want you to play and change the situation on the court!" Primoraz sent Kaká to Wenger. Wenger stared at Kaká and said, "I think I can trust you. You have always been since you recovered from your injury." You can work hard! What do you think?”

"Of course! I think I can do more for the team!" Kaka replied calmly. The changes in the past two years have made him mature. To be fair, now that I think about it, the club is also doing it for his own good.

"I need to shoot decisively! Both inside and outside the penalty area are your areas, you need to connect with the midfielder..." Wenger explained his tactical ideas to Kaka in detail. In summary, there are three: shooting, connecting, and attracting. Shooting is the key. Wenger's ultimate goal is to hope that Kaka's scoring ability can bring changes to the situation, and attracting is to reduce the pressure on Messi and Suarez.

In the 64th minute of the game, the situation on the Trapani stadium was far from the point where a substitution was needed to change, but at this time point, Trapani made a substitution, and Kaka replaced Di Maria.

"Kaka plays as a winger?!" Hugo thought secretly in the stands.

But in the next few minutes, he saw the doorway. Kaka is not a winger, but a role similar to a front midfielder, and Wenger's change of formation actually has another purpose, which is to increase the midfield's encirclement and suppression of Ozil and limit Ozil's passing and receiving ability.

It has to be said that Mourinho's midfield is really bad. Alonso has good technical ability but insufficient mobility. Diarra has good mobility but poor technical ability. As for Pepe, he is more aggressive than strategic. As expected, such a patchwork midfield had problems again after Trapani changed the formation, and it was difficult to pass to Ozil.

At this time, the situation on the court also ushered in a huge change. In the 71st minute, Pepe's pass was intercepted by Schweinsteiger, who passed it directly to Suarez, who passed it to Messi. Messi did not dribble the ball but chose to knock it across the blank area in front of the penalty area. At this time, Kaka, who was just pressing Real Madrid's midfield, used his speed advantage to get in, met Messi's steady pass, and shot!

The ball went straight into the dead corner of Casillas's gate like a cannonball!

Kaka's shot was impeccable. He had observed Casillas' position in advance, and Messi's pass was also quite appropriate. Kaka pressed the ball very well and had excellent control!

The ball seemed to be at the front of the penalty area, but in fact it was almost close to the penalty area and quite close to the goal. Casillas was not responsible for not saving it.

On the contrary, their midfield triangle contributed a lot to this sudden goal. Alonso was trying to find a receiving point, Diarra was a little too biased to Messi's side, and Pepe, the man who was lagging behind, actually wanted to penetrate the opponent's midfield directly. Obviously, his footwork was not up to standard, so he made a big mistake!

"Kaka again! It's him again!" Hugo stood up excitedly. It was really unimaginable. More than a week ago, Kaka also turned the tide after being substituted for a few minutes against Barcelona. This time it was him again. He was really a substitute.

Kaka was much calmer than the last time he scored in Camp Nou. He naturally celebrated with two fingers pointing to the sky. He was a devout Catholic and had this gesture every time he scored a goal, but he was soon surrounded by excited teammates.
