Zidane stood in front of the coach's seat, staring at the stadium with his eyes tightly, and his breathing became a little rapid.

He is a man of many battles, but at this moment, he still feels nervous.

This game is completely different from all the games he has experienced before. This is the first Champions League final he has experienced as the head coach. Moreover, Chinatown has not won against Atletico Madrid this season, and now it is behind zero to one again...

If possible, he would even rather rush into the court and play than be anxious on the sidelines.

"What should I do?" Zidane's lips moved slightly, and asked himself in a weak voice that he couldn't even hear clearly.

He is indeed facing a very embarrassing situation now. Simeone's midfield change made all the measures he had expected before completely invalid. He knew that the team must make adjustments now and as soon as possible.

There is not much time left for Chinatown.

There is no suspense about replacing people, but who to change, how to change, how to play after changing...

He was in a mess now, and he felt like a mud in his mind, and he couldn't tell the difference at all.

"What the hell do?" He asked himself in a faint voice again.

He suddenly turned around and looked up at the rostrum behind him.

In the middle is the podium, with UEFA President Platini and Gao Han sitting there.

It seemed that he could also notice Zidane's gaze. Gao Han also looked at him, pointed to his temple, then gave him a thumbs up, nodded as if saying, I believe you can.

Encouragement from Gao Han made Zidane turn around and look back at the stadium.

"When you feel at a loss, the best choice is to calm down first and sort out your thoughts."

A sentence Gao Han once said to him appeared in Zidane's mind.

The Frenchman let out a heavy breath, walked to the sidelines, grabbed a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into his stomach with big mouthfuls, which felt like a traveler who had just walked out of the Sahara Desert.

After a bottle of water was poured into his stomach, Zidane raised his head and breathed heavily.

His originally anxious mood calmed down a lot, and his originally panicked mind gradually became clearer.

"What is our core strategy in this game?" Zidane asked himself.

Hold the ball!

Zidane's eyes couldn't help but lit up as soon as this word appeared in his mind.

I only saw him walking quickly to the bench and pointing at Paul Pogba, "Paul, go warm up quickly."

Paul Pogba jumped up from his seat, quickly took off his coat, and ran quickly to the warm-up area on the sidelines under the envious gaze of his teammates.

Zidane quickly walked back to the sidelines, waved at Alice Sandro, signaling his position to press forward, and Danilo on the right also gave the same order.

It is obvious that Zidane still needs to continue to strengthen the offense.

Three minutes later, Pogba returned to the sidelines, and Zidane quickly replaced him on the court.

In the 60th minute, Zidane made the first substitution adjustment in this game, and Pogba replaced Ilia Lamendi.

After the substitution adjustment, Verati was dragged to the final position of the team, and Isco and Pogba were in a higher position.

In addition, the two full-backs on the wing road boldly pressed forward, making the entire formation of Chinatown full of attack power.

…………

…………

"Chinatown made its first substitution in this game."

"Pogba replaced Ilia La Mendi, and Zidane seems to be trying to continue to strengthen the attack in the midfield."

"But this substitution is still up to date. After all, Ilia La Mendi's defense in the midfield is very important. Now using Verati to drag the back is probably very worrying."

"After the substitution, Chinatown's offense seemed very active."

"Varane's big foot moved to the left, Alex Sandro got the ball and passed it forward."

"Hazar got the ball and cut inside, and then passed it back to the side. Alex Sandro inserted forward and received the ball, crossed..."

"Griezmann headed the ball afterwards!"

"Oh, it's almost a little bit."

"We saw that Pogba and Firmino in the middle were both plugged in to the pickup, but Atletico Madrid's defensive player ignored Griezmann at the back point."

"It should be said that this is a very threatening offensive, which happened in the 62nd minute."

"Let's look at this attack again. It's Chinatown, or on the wing, Danilo takes the ball."

"Passing it to the middle to Veratti, then moving it to the left is Alex Sandro."

"Navas' return to defense is indeed not active enough."

"Now the ball is under the control of Chinatown, Atletico Madrid is more passive in dealing with it. Once Alex Sandro forwards the assist, it will easily cooperate with Hazard and Isco and create a threat."

"The left offense is also the most lethal channel in Chinatown."

"Simone is finally going to make a substitution adjustment, he replaced Navas with Raul Garcia."

"This is a substitution that has significantly strengthened the defense."

"Simone is now leading by one goal, and it seems that he should focus on defending the current score."

"Chinatown seems to be starting to make substitutions again."

"Zidane made the second substitution adjustment, and it turned out to be the young player Hesse."

"This should be an unexpected substitution. Is Zidane going to use Isco and Pogba to block Atletico Madrid's impact?"

"The two midfielders are both strong in offense and weak in defense. Is it appropriate to let them take the midfield at this time?"

…………

…………

In the stands, Gao Han, Platini and others were surprised when they first saw Zidane's substitution adjustment.

But soon, Gao Han took the lead in understanding.

As the game began, Pogba and Isco were obviously far behind the scenes. When Atletico Madrid got the ball, they always stood in front of Schneiderlin and Herrera, and even if they were in control of the ball, they were often one in front and one behind.

Griezmann on the right plays a more pulling and deterring role. Together with Danilo, he restrains Felipe and Villa on the left side of Atletico Madrid, especially Villa, seem to have almost exhausted their physical fitness.

One of the important reasons why Simeone replaced Navas with Raul Garcia is that Navas has a weak willingness to defend on the right, but after Zidane replaced Hesse, he still had to play Atletico Madrid's right.

Hesse reached the front and swam on Firmino's left, restraining Juan Fran and Ramos, while Hazard retreated and pulled to the left to get the ball to create an opportunity.

Juan Fran was restrained, Raul Garcia had to be wary of Alex Sandro, and a defensive vacuum appeared between the two.

With Hazard's strength, once he gets the ball in this space, it will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to Atletico Madrid.

"The competition is getting more and more interesting, and it's just now!"

Gao Han said excitedly.

When you reach this level of competition, a slight gap may determine the trend of the game.

Next, let’s see if Hazard is able to carve a passage from the iron walls of Atletico Madrid.

…………

…………

With Atletico Madrid retreating, Chinatown's ball possession advantage became more and more obvious.

Hazard started to get more chances to get the ball on the left.

The situation was indeed as Gao Han expected. Hesse was cruising between Juan Fran and Ramos, making Atletico Madrid's right-back dare not stick to defend Hazard, while Raul Garcia wanted to restrain Ales Sandro, so that Hazard often was in an undefensive state when he got the ball on the left.

The Belgian took the ball and faced Atletico Madrid's defense directly.

The first impact occurred in the 73rd minute. After Hazard got the ball from the side, Raul Garcia quickly returned to defense, but Hazard dribbled the ball straight for Juan Fran. After a false move, he dribbled past Juan Fran and cut into the penalty area.

But Ramos was very calm and blocked the right side of the penalty area, forcing Hazard to slow down in time and pass the ball back.

But soon, Chinatown's offense made a comeback.

It's still Hazard, and it's still on the left.

After receiving Hesse's pass, Hazard suddenly dunked Juan Fran and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

This time, he was not entangled by Ramos until he entered the penalty area. Although he finally made a chance to shoot together on the left side of the small penalty area, Ramos and Oblak's assisting defense were very good, completely blocking Hazard's shooting angle.

The Belgian's shot hit directly into Aubrak's arms.

Neither attack worked, but Hazard's advantage in getting the ball on the left has been revealed.

…………

…………

Simeone also had a stern face when standing on the sidelines. He knew very clearly that Chinatown players are indeed very good in personal abilities, just like Hazard, who can't defend him one-on-one at all.

Zidane dared to let Isco and Pogba support the midfield, because he believed that his frontcourt could defeat Atletico Madrid.

even……

Simeone noticed the movement of the opponent's bench, and Morata was also ready to move.
