Haha…haha…

During the halftime break, there was a heavy gasp in the visiting team's locker room.

Facing a team like Manchester City, even if you put it away, your physical energy consumption is often very serious, but what is more serious is the mental consumption of the players, especially the long-term lack of control over the ball.

In a football game, losing possession for a long time is a very dangerous thing.

It's like two people fighting, their side is bare-handed, but the other side holds a gun in their hands, which is quite desperate.

Mourinho also has a deep understanding of this, so he kept reminding the players on the sidelines to cheer up and focus on the game, because only in this way can they win.

The Portuguese madman could have expected that after the game, countless media reporters and fans would criticize him for being conservative, and countless football professionals would come forward to criticize him for being destructive and lethal football, but he doesn't care, he just wants to win.

As a professional head coach, he thought very clearly that what he needed was victory.

Real Madrid invited him to coach with a lot of money and power, hoping that he could lead the team to win.

Facing teams like Barcelona and Manchester City, Real Madrid's victory can only be based on the best defense and the sharpest counterattack. Mourinho even received criticism from Real Madrid fans for this.

The players may understand his thoughts, or they may not understand them, but that doesn't matter.

It is important that they must unswervingly execute the head coach's tactics on the court.

Resolute defensive tactics require a group of players with strong execution to work hard to implement them. Mourinho was very happy to see that the team performed very well in the first half, and everyone worked very hard, even Ozil, who is known for his laziness in daily life.

Both forwards actively returned to defense, and the defenders meticulously carried out his requests, even for some foul moves.

Real Madrid's fierce pressing and oppression made Manchester City unable to do anything. The home team's offense seemed to be very powerful, but they were in a strong position and did not score, making it difficult to break into threatening areas. In the whole first half, Real Madrid's defense showed almost no flaws, except for Bruno Alves' improper clearance.

This made Mourinho feel extremely relieved.

Slap... Slap...

The Portuguese applauded hard, attracting everyone's attention in the locker room.

"Guys, everyone did a great job in the first half and we managed to defend the Manchester City offense."

Mourinho said this, pointing his right hand towards the home team's locker room and helping the players draw the key points. "Be careful, that's Gao Han's team, and we all know that Gao Han's team has never been tied in the past ten years, even if it's one game, but now we have done it."

The Portuguese's words suddenly made the locker room, which was originally a little solemn, feel like fighting spirit is bursting again. The players who had originally become extremely heavy in their breathing raised their heads and looked at the head coach.

Mourinho is very satisfied with the effect of his words, which he has carefully considered.

"You see, Faria counted our performance in the first half, and we completed the pre-match deployment and arrangement with almost zero flaws. Although Manchester City's possession reached 71%, we saw that they only had eight shots, and there was no real threatening attack."

Whether there is a threat can be seen by all players.

Mourinho is right. Apart from the goal that Cristiano Ronaldo was blown out, Manchester City did not have a real threatening attack, but was more about cruising and harassing the outside.

"You should also be able to feel the change in the mood of Manchester City players."

Mourinho's words made all the players nod at the same time.

"When they failed to get the results for a long period of attack, they became a little uneasy enough. Cristiano Ronaldo also received a yellow card for this, and I believe that as the game progresses, as they become increasingly powerless, they will collapse."

"Gao Han is undoubtedly the top coach in the world. This certainly gives Manchester City players confidence, but it also puts pressure on them. Who would be willing to become the sinner who ends Gao Han's winning streak?"

All the players in the locker room nodded again.

"I know that everyone played very hard in the first half, and the opponent put a lot of pressure on us. We stayed focused for a long time and were passively dealing with the opponent's attack. This made us consume a lot of mental and physical consumption. I am also very grateful to everyone for gritting their teeth and persevering here."

"But what I want to say is that we just have to hold on for another 30 minutes and hold on for the next 30 minutes, we will not only get a draw, we will even get a victory."

Mourinho looked straight at the players in front of him and said word by word, "As long as everyone hold on and believe me, we will completely defeat Manchester City and defeat Gao Han in this stadium!"

"And you, everyone present, will become heroes and be respected by thousands of people!"

Mourinho's words are very contagious, especially for this group of players who play in Real Madrid.

Over the past two seasons, everyone has been dissatisfied with Real Madrid's transfer signings because of the lack of superstars.

There are rumors on the front line that Rooney and Falcao, Fabregas and Gerrard in the midfield, Pepe and Thiago Silva on the back line, and even the goalkeeper position is rumored to introduce Neuer from Bayern Munich to replace Casillas.

Under this operating mode of the club, all players are like a group of goods that may be abandoned and exchanged at any time. Even if they ask that their strength is not inferior to other stars, they have no choice.

Who made them not famous enough?

But it is precisely because of this that each of them looked extremely hot after listening to Mourinho's words.

They long to prove themselves, just like Mourinho.

The best way is to defeat Manchester City away and defeat Gao Han!

…………

…………

Both sides returned to the field.

Neither Gao Han nor Mourinho made substitution adjustments during the halftime break.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City took the lead in the attack.

In just one minute, Sanchez formed a breakthrough on the left. After getting rid of Kolarov's entanglement, he passed to the back point, but Cristiano Ronaldo accidentally fell into the penalty area when receiving the ball.

The Portuguese jumped up from the ground, pointed at Aveloa, and signaled the Real Madrid right-back to push him down from behind. Aveloa immediately counterattacked. The referee quickly stepped forward to mediate, but did not punish the foul.

The referee's law enforcement is relatively soft, which is also a problem that arose in the first half.

Cristiano Ronaldo was taught a lesson by Gao Han during the halftime break and calmed down a lot in the second half. When he encountered such a penalty, he walked away obediently under the persuasion of his teammates.

Just three minutes later, Manchester City once again got a fatal chance.

After Modric got rid of Sneider in the middle, he passed directly behind him. Benzema caught up with the ball and formed a single shot, but the lineman raised the flag and signaled an offside. Judging from the slow-motion replay, the French striker's start was indeed too early.

This further reflects that Manchester City players are a little too anxious.

In the 51st minute, it was another breakthrough from Sanchez on the right. Kolarov was fouled. Manchester City quickly made a free kick to attack, but the result was still too anxious and directly passed the ball into the penalty area. It was intercepted by Casillas who attacked and missed another chance to score.

In the 52nd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball from the left and forced his way through Aveloa. This time, the foul of the Spanish right-back finally made the referee whistle and take out the card, giving Aveloa a yellow card, and giving Manchester City a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt.

Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty himself, but was slightly higher.

In the 53rd minute, Xavi Alonso made a straight pass, Cristiano Ronaldo cut in from the left, and suddenly shot coldly at the front of the penalty area, but was saved by Casillas as if help from god.

Then Manchester City took a corner kick, and Kompani headed the ball from four meters in front of the goal, but Casillas showed great courage and hit the ball out with a single punch. Then when facing Kaka's supplementary shot, he got up and leap in time and hugged the ball.

"After the start of the second half, Manchester City made a crazy offensive, not only firmly controlling the situation on the field, but also threatened Real Madrid's goal again and again, but Real Madrid's defense was very tenacious."

"Perhaps we have to change the performance of Real Madrid."

"Murinho's team is indeed inferior to Manchester City in terms of passing and controlling balls and personal abilities, but the game is not just about possession and personal performance. The reason why football games are charming is because he is the result of the joint efforts of eleven players."

"And from the beginning of this game, Mourinho's team has played very tenaciously, and every player is extremely devoted. They struggled to support Manchester City's offense again and again."

Gao Han always stood in front of the home team coach's seat and watched the game silently.

He has to admit that Mourinho is indeed very targeted in defense and has not left Manchester City with excellent scoring opportunities, which is very rare and exciting.

He longs to fight with such a master.

So, even though he has had the opportunity to use his skill card until now, he is useless.

Maybe it should be said that he didn't plan to use it so early.

He hopes to use his real sword and gun to compete with a master like Mourinho.

"If you really want to talk about defense, he is not at all inferior to those Italian head coaches." Brian Kidd also changed his vision to Mourinho.

Gao Han nodded, "Don't be confused by his big mouth and his style of inducing battles everywhere, especially after two years of rest, his coaching level has improved very quickly. It is obvious that the electricity has been charged. Now is the time for the power to be strong."

"What should we do?" Brian Kidd asked with concern.

Gao Han has been winning streaks in the past ten years, and Manchester City has never lost in more than a year. Should they be tied by Real Madrid at home today?

"You underestimate Mourinho too much."

"What does it mean?" Brian Kidd didn't understand.

"He never thought about getting a draw, he wanted to win."

"win?"

Gao Han smiled, "I took a special note. Since the start of the game, Di Maria will come out to warm up every once in a while. Mourinho's assistant coach will come forward to talk to him every time, which is obviously preparing for the replacement."

"If I guess correctly..." Gao Han suddenly raised his head and looked at the dazzling light, his eyes squinted involuntarily, "He should arrange a counterattack, and if I were him, I would choose to be at the last moment."

Brian Kidd was shocked.

Now that I can't catch up on the court for a long time, but the opponent is well prepared and still has a backup plan. What should I do?

Are you really going to lose?
Chapter completed!
