From coaching Real Madrid

"I'm very pleased with your performance in the first half."

During the halftime break, Gao Shen was in the locker room and gave the greatest recognition to the players' performance.

"The score of three to zero made the entire first half, both the process and the result, impeccable. I have no way to put forward more and higher demands for you."

"Especially some of our players..."

Gao Shen didn't name anyone because the whole team performed well, but his eyes were obviously on Robben and Robinho.

Many players also followed Gao Shen's gaze and focused on these two players.

They were indeed the best and most active players in the first half.

Robinho, in particular, almost played his best first half since joining Manchester City.

One can't help but wonder, if he could maintain such a high level in every game, how could he fail to play football?

Gao Shen will definitely let him play the main role in every game.

But I'm afraid it will be difficult for this kid to do this.

"In the second half, I guess Mourinho will make substitutions and adjustments. He will choose to strengthen the midfield, because their midfield loss in the first half was too obvious. After Mourinho realizes his problem, he will make decisive decisions.

Change."

Gao Shen speculates that Mourinho is likely to take player No. 23 and replace him with Mohamed Diarra to strengthen the midfield defense.

This is actually what many people put forward before the game, and what they hope Mourinho will do is to play as a defensive midfielder.

If Mourinho said this, it would basically be equivalent to admitting tactical failure.

But there was nothing he could do. If he didn't adjust, he would lose even more miserably in the second half.

"So, after we start the second half, don't give Real Madrid any chance to breathe. Just speed up the pace of the game and bring it into the fast lane. Use a wave of attacks to further reap the results and strive to further expand the score!"

The opening attack has always been Gao Shen's specialty.

But as his coaching progressed, he became more sophisticated and mature, and his use of troops became more varied.

It's also a rush attack, but if he uses it now, the effect will be better than at the beginning.

In the opening stage, Real Madrid was very energetic. If they really wanted to fight to the death, Manchester City would be at great risk.

The combination of Ronaldo, Adebayor and Di Maria is also terrifying.

"When it comes to attacking, we still play on both wings, especially our right wing."

Gao Shen pulled up the tactical board, which already had Real Madrid's lineup and positions drawn.

"At the beginning, Cristiano Ronaldo was on the right and Di Maria was on the left. But later, Mourinho adjusted their positions. Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo were on the left. The offense was sharp, but the defense was sharp.

It will be a big problem.”

When Gao Shen said this, he pointed at Robben and said, "Arjan, the attack in the second half will be launched from your side. It must be fast, hard and accurate, and it must hit Real Madrid's sore spot."

Robben nodded with confidence, he was indeed the main attacker that Gao Shen relied on tonight.

"Don't worry, boss, leave it to me!"

Gao Shen believes in Robben's strength and performance.

"When our team holds the ball, we must pay attention to spreading the formation. David, Yin Wan, you two must provide more support to the wing."

"Robinho, you have to take care to pull Arbeloa out."

"You need to pay attention to the defense of the two wings, especially the right wing. The cooperation between Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo on this side is very threatening. You must be careful and careful."

This offensive channel will be Real Madrid's trump card in the next few years, bringing four Champions League titles to Real Madrid. You can imagine how threatening the combination of Marcelo and Ronaldo is.

But now, it has not been fully stimulated.

Mourinho has always been cautious about the use of full-backs. There are reports that he is more inclined to introduce Portuguese left-back Coentrao. He has also passed on Lazio left-back Kolarov before, rather than attacking the strong and defending the weak.

Marcelo.

"Everyone!" Gao Shen clapped vigorously, attracting the attention of everyone in the locker room.

"In tonight's game, we had a good first half, but I think it's not enough. We can play better, so in the second half, I ask everyone to keep up the good work!"

Gao Shen spoke very forcefully, and the players were also very encouraged.

The atmosphere and situation at this moment made all Manchester City players boil with excitement from the bottom of their hearts.

"I hope I can see your goals again in the second half!"

The players cheered in unison.

…

Mourinho has indeed made a substitution, and he has indeed replaced the No. 23 attacking midfielder.

This is actually normal. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the No. 23 attacking midfielder is almost useless. His only presence is to pass a few good passes, but that's all.

But Gao Shen didn't guess correctly, because Mourinho replaced No. 23 with Pepe.

This surprised Gao Shen on the sidelines, but he soon realized that he had made a mistake.

is not that right?

In Gao Shen's previous life, Mourinho frequently used Pepe as a defensive midfielder.

But Gao Shen did not change his tactics, but signaled his players to continue attacking without changing their tactics.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City used their right to serve, first controlling the ball, and quickly advancing towards Real Madrid's position.

Real Madrid's defense settled quickly, especially after the substitution adjustments, which significantly strengthened the protection of the front edge of the penalty area.

But Manchester City's fast break was very fierce.

Especially after the opening minute, when the first wave of fast breaks failed to threaten, Javi Martinez made a steal in the midfield and once again passed the ball to the right side of the frontcourt and handed it to Robben.

Robben dribbled the ball away from Marcelo on the right, cut inside laterally, and shot a cold arrow with his left foot on the right side of the penalty area in an attempt to hit the goal.

The Dutchman's shot hit Pepe's leg directly and failed to fly directly to the goal, but it still changed direction and entered the penalty spot of the penalty area.

Suarez reacted the fastest, rushed over immediately, got ahead of everyone, and started shooting again.

But at this time, Casillas had decisively abandoned the goal, and Ramos and Carvalho rushed from the side to tackle the ball, blocking the angle of Suarez's shot.

The Uruguayan forward's shot was blocked by Ramos to the left side of the small penalty area.

Real Madrid's entire penalty area was in chaos.

Casillas immediately adjusted his center of gravity and rushed towards the left side of the small penalty area. Arbeloa also ran over to intercept it.

Everything happened in an instant. When everyone reacted, they saw Robinho appearing on the left side of Real Madrid's penalty area like a ghost, running to the left side of the most dangerous small penalty area, facing him.

After receiving the ball, he shot directly with his left foot.

Casillas flew sideways and Arbeloa flew to intercept, but both of them were a step slower.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!”

"Robinho! Robinho again!!"

"Two goals!"

"My God, he has always been able to run without the ball. He is like a ghost lying in wait on the left side of the penalty area. At the most critical moment, he suddenly appears in the most dangerous position."

After Robinho scored, the whole person turned around and rushed out of the stadium, running wildly all the way, and finally slipped and knelt under the stands of Manchester City fans, and the whole person let out a heart-rending roar!

This is the thrill of revenge!

Manchester City players chased him out one after another, hugging Robinho and celebrating the goal together on the sidelines.

"Unbelievable! It's really unbelievable!"

"Manchester City started the second half very resolutely and put in a lot of effort."

"Real Madrid's defense still has problems, especially Robben's shot after cutting inside, which created chaos in Real Madrid's penalty area."

"Four to zero!"

"After Real Madrid made substitutions, it still failed to stop Manchester City's attack!"

…

"Manchester City still has the ball."

"So far in the second half, we have played for about six minutes, but Real Madrid has not yet organized a decent attack."

"Senior teams have always done a very good job in attacking. It was still the same at the beginning of the second half tonight. They even scored a goal, but they did not relax their suppression of Real Madrid at all."

"Let's look at this time, Manchester City passed the ball back and reorganized."

"Martinez got the ball and was about to turn around. Pepe came up to mark him and made a tackle for a foul."

"The referee believes that Pepe tripped Martinez from behind and should receive a yellow card."

"Just six minutes into the game, Pepe received a yellow card."

"Mourinho looked very angry on the sidelines. He felt that the yellow card was unnecessary."

"In the first half of the game, Adebayor also committed a similar foul and received a yellow card."

"Real Madrid did enough to target Javi Martinez tonight, but Manchester City's preparations were also in place."

"Look at this time, Manchester City quickly took a free kick and kicked it to Suarez in front."

"Suarez stopped the ball with his chest, passed it to Rakitic, and then passed it to Robben on the right."

"Robben stopped the ball, passed it back to Lichtsteiner, and then passed it back to Rakitic."

"Rakitic still didn't stop the ball and passed it to Suarez."

"Suarez picked up the ball with his back and passed it to Robben. Robben cut inside with the ball and passed it behind him..."

"Rakitic comes in from behind!!"

"Danger!"

"The ball is scored again!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"Five minutes, less than seven minutes into the second half, in just five minutes, Manchester City scored two goals in a row!"

"The offensive cooperation just now was very exciting!"

"We saw that Manchester City's players were stalking the defensive players from beginning to end. They cooperated continuously and played very skillfully. In the end, Rakitic's quick back-up made Real Madrid's defensive players have no time to react.

.”

"Five to zero!!"

"God, this is such a great game!"

"But it's definitely not the game Real Madrid fans want to see."

"The Manchester City fans at the scene were cheering crazily and seemed extremely excited."

"No one expected that the game would eventually turn into what it is now. Gao Shen and his Manchester City temporarily took a 5-0 lead at home, and Real Madrid did not seem to threaten Manchester City's chances."

"Even though Mourinho replaced No. 23 during the halftime break and replaced him with centre-back Pepe as the midfielder, he was still attacked by Manchester City's fast break and scored two goals in a row."

"Conceding two goals in five minutes, Real Madrid not only lost power in the midfield, but also had a defensive problem."
