Who to use in the starting lineup, who to use as a substitute, and who to put on the field at what time is both a strategy and a gamble.

If you win the bet, everyone will say that the coach is awesome and insightful; if you lose the bet, it will be the coach's job. Why not seek stability...

"I really didn't expect that Ancelotti would use such a risky trick." Steve Holland also smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling helpless about this.

"What should we do now?" Scaloni asked anxiously.

In the first sixty minutes, Chelsea created opportunities.

Although Real Madrid's midfield blockade is indeed in place, talented players like Chelsea can still rely on tacit cooperation and outstanding personal abilities to create opportunities.

After all, Chelsea still took the initiative on the field, but they just failed to seize the opportunity.

But if opportunities continue to be missed, it will inevitably have an impact on the players' psychology.

And now that we are one goal behind, I'm afraid the players on the court will be even more nervous, which is not a good thing.

The most dangerous thing is to be unable to attack for a long time, and now that the ball has been lost, there is no guarantee that the players will not lose their composure.

But Pan Yi still looked calm. He patted Scaloni on the shoulder to tell him not to panic, and then said:

"Before we think about what we should do, we need to know what they want us to do."

"What is Ancelotti thinking about now? First of all, he should be celebrating in his heart now. Maybe he is lucky that they actually scored a goal against us first."

"Then, he must be expecting us to press hard and try to tie the score quickly. He may even lose his mind because of this and pounce on us, then expose the flaws behind him and let them counterattack."

Scaloni and Holland both nodded.

This is normal.

Although Real Madrid is very strong, defensive counterattack is their best tactic.

Now that they have the ball in hand, they are more confident to implement this tactic to the end, and can also maximize the speed of Ronaldo and Bale on their front lines.

Having said that, if Varane hadn't scored the goal just now, Real Madrid would be panicking now.

After all, they are playing at home, and if they cannot win, they will definitely be at a disadvantage in the two-round Champions League competition.

Going to a devil's home stadium like Stamford Bridge, it is really a luxury to even get a point!

"So we have to take it easy on the court first, and take our time. The more times like this, the less we can rush." ​​Pan Yi finally said.

"But, it's been 60 minutes..." Scaloni still found it difficult to calm down.

"Let Gnabry and Bamford warm up first." Pan Yi ordered with a smile, "Our starting forwards seem to have been thoroughly studied by An Pang. It's time to change their skills."

Seeing Pan Yi's smile, Scaloni felt a little more at ease.

This shows that the boss is confident about the current situation!

So he immediately ran to the bench to call someone.

Pan Yi himself walked to the sidelines and shouted at the players to keep them calm.

Especially at this time, veterans and captains like Terry must play their role and remind their young teammates to stabilize their mentality and not fall into the opponent's trap!——

"They seem to be making changes."

On the Real Madrid coaching bench, Zidane was keenly aware of the changes on Chelsea's side.

"It seems that Pan Yi has thought of a way to deal with us again." Ancelotti frowned, which also made his eyes turn into a classic O_o.

(Actually, the reason why An Shuai often has such big-eyed moments is not because he did it deliberately, but because he had a car accident when he was a teenager, which caused his left eyebrow to be unable to fall and could only be raised.

rise.)

"What will he do?" Zidane looked at Ancelotti.

An Shuai shook his head: "His actions have always been unpredictable. Under normal circumstances, he should change forwards to strengthen the offense, but no matter what adjustments Pan Yi makes, it will not surprise anyone. This is him

The most elusive place is also his strongest place..."

When Ancelotti said this, his tone was full of admiration.

When it comes to versatile tactics and strong adaptability, An Pang would say second. Normally, no one would dare to say first.

But now that Pan Yi is opposite him, he dares to say that!

"So, do we need to make a substitution first? Make a preemptive strike?" Zidane asked with concern.

Ancelotti thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, wait a moment, let him change first."

The main reason is that the current situation is favorable to Real Madrid. It would be bad if proactive substitutions cause some unnecessary problems and lead to an imbalance in the situation.

And is there really no problem at Real Madrid now?

of course not.

Ancelotti still knows his team and his disciples very well.

Real Madrid now focuses on defense, but Ronaldo also tried his best in the past hour of the game.

He ran up and down, sparing no effort in running, and he was probably almost exhausted.

There's nothing we can do about it. Chelsea's advantage in passing and control means that Real Madrid can only rely on aggression and running to balance the game, which will consume a lot of players' physical energy.

If a technical player like James Ronaldo plays as a defensive midfielder on the wing, it will naturally be more difficult for him to support the whole court.

But under the current circumstances, Ancelotti really does not dare to make changes too quickly.

Currently, Ronaldo is one of the biggest contributors to Real Madrid's lead today, and he is also a key figure in maintaining the current situation on the court. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best to remain unchanged in the face of changes and defend the score first.

But just when the time entered the seventy-minute mark, which is the so-called "Pan Yi time", Pan Yi's substitution finally came too late.

——

"Now, we see Pan Yi calling Gnabry and Bamford on the bench to his side."

"These two players got up to warm up ten minutes ago. At that time, we guessed that Pan Yi was going to make a substitution. Now let's see how he is going to make the substitution."

"Under normal circumstances, Gnabry plays as a left winger in this Chelsea team, while Bamford is a center forward. Opposing him are the two Belgian internationals Hazard and Lukaku."

"It's normal to replace the two Belgians. Lukaku did nothing today under Varane's tight surveillance, and Hazard's breakthrough seemed to be less than brilliant. Carvajal's skills

The movements should also have been studied.”

"Okay, we see that Chelsea's two substitutes are already standing next to the halfway line, and the player they replaced is..."

"Seat B and... and Gary Cahill were substituted!"

"This substitution is also a bit unexpected. Gary Cahill is an important member of Chelsea's three-centre-back system. If he is replaced at this time, will Chelsea have to adjust their tactical formation and style of play?"

"Of course, replacing the defender with a forward is a positive sign to strengthen the team's offense, but I don't know what position Gnabry and Bamford will play next."

"Pan Yi kept waving on the sidelines and seemed to be adjusting his tactics."

"Now let's look at the positioning of Chelsea players on the field..."

"Bamford was moved to the front line, partnering with Lukaku. After Gnabry came on, he actually stood on the left wing, while Hazard moved to the right, playing the original B seat position."

"In the backcourt, Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta moved slightly deeper to form a four-back position with Terry and David Luiz. The two central midfielders remained unchanged.

"

"It seems like Pan Yi is back to his old ways!"

"Obviously, Pan Yi is going to launch a fierce attack on Real Madrid in the last twenty minutes."

——

The game continues after substitutions.

"Chelsea started to launch another attack."

"The ball was passed to the left, Gnabry took the ball and drove it to the center."

"Real Madrid's James Rodriguez actively defended. Gnabry had no chance and could only pass the ball to the left again."

"Marcos Alonso has already stepped in, and there is no one in front of him to defend him. Now he takes the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area and passes it to the center!"

"Good opportunity, Lukaku takes over and shoots! Real Madrid is dangerous!"

"Oops, Casillas made an unbelievable save."

"Oh my god, this time the Spanish goalkeeper was like a god descending from the earth, saving Lukaku's shot from close at hand. He saved Real Madrid again!"

At that moment, the fans in the entire Bernabeu Stadium breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone shouted the name of Saint Cassie loudly.

Although Casillas is 34 years old this year, although his condition has indeed declined, and although there are already rumors that he will leave the team after the end of this season, as long as he is still standing in front of Real Madrid, he is

God in the eyes of Real Madrid fans!

Real Madrid players also ran over one by one and surrounded Casillas, who had risen from the ground.

Captain Ramos even hugged Casillas' head forcefully and kissed him hard on the forehead.

Without Casillas, Real Madrid would have conceded so many goals in this game!

"Good guy, great job!" After the kiss, Ramos shook Casillas' shoulders vigorously and praised.

Casillas smiled a little shyly, obviously very satisfied with his condition.

He has indeed saved several shots from Chelsea's forward group today.
