Chapter 554 Football is not purely tactical

Ronaldo was embarrassed in the dressing room because Mourinho asked him to play center forward in the second half.

The defense is always indispensable. Mourinho replaced Benzema with Varane, asked Shui Ye to go to the right back after Arbeloa was sent off, and then instructed Ronaldo to go to the center.

Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't like playing center forward because it makes him feel rigid in that position. Being at the front of the formation, he cannot take advantage of his speed, and the small area of ​​​​activity also limits his indulgence. Moreover, the pulling and contact required by the Real Madrid center is also his weakness.

Of course, the technical violation is actually secondary. The most important thing is that Ronaldo doesn't like it very much.

He had failed to perform well in his several guest appearances as a center forward, and his post-game media ratings were very low, which made the proud Ronaldo very embarrassed. Although he always said he didn't care, if he really didn't care, he wouldn't talk about it.

Moreover, Mourinho did not ask for his opinion at all, and just arbitrarily asked him to play a position he did not like again and again, which further aggravated Ronaldo's resentment, both against Mourinho and the center.

Mourinho has done this before, but he has never made Ronaldo as dissatisfied as he is today.

Real Madrid played against Dortmund at home two weeks ago. Mourinho was at a loss on the sidelines in the last ten minutes, which seriously affected his prestige in the team. Real Madrid players are all talented people. Mourinho's slowness and clumsiness at that moment could not be hidden from them.

From that day on, the previous complaints will turn into dissatisfaction, and the previous secret fights will turn into black faces.

Not only Ronaldo, but Benzema who was replaced was also very angry, but he was the kind of person who had no human rights in the locker room and did not dare to show too much, so he had to sulk silently.

Mourinho didn't notice anything was wrong with Ronaldo and Benzema's emotions, and Zhuo Yang didn't notice either. He just immersed himself in whispering to Kaká, and even walked into the stadium in the second half, only to realize that Varane had been replaced. Benzema.

From Mourinho's point of view, it is normal to replace Benzema and let Cristiano Ronaldo play as center, because Cristiano Ronaldo was basically a lookalike on the wing today and had no effect. The few times he threatened, he forced his way into the center. obtained later.

Therefore, Mourinho simply asked Ronaldo to continue testing the waters at the center. Anyway, Real Madrid played very vigorously in the center today and had every advantage. Not only did Mourinho not realize that this adjustment caused great dissatisfaction with Ronaldo, he even thought that this was preferential treatment for Ronaldo and was for his sake.

In Zhuo Yang's view, Mourinho's approach is actually understandable, but it is a bit wronged by Benzema, who is in good condition. Judging from the performance in the first half, instead of replacing Cristiano Ronaldo, you can also consider replacing Di Maria. The Angels were also very frustrated in these 45 minutes.

However, in Mourinho's heart, Di Maria and Benzema definitely have different weights. If they were to be replaced by Zhuo Yang, he would most likely make the same adjustment.

Generally speaking, there is no fundamental problem with Mourinho's approach, but he ignored a very key factor-Mancini is not dead.

Mancini is also a famous coach after all. Half the game was enough time to discover the flaw of a single midfielder surrendering to the enemy, and it was also enough time for him to convince his own pride and correct his mistakes.

At halftime, Manic admitted his mistake. He replaced Zabaleta, who had a yellow card, with Javi Garcia. Manchester City switched to four backs and two midfielders.

As a result, Manchester City's center returned to solidity, the door was tightly guarded, Zhuo Yang no longer acted as he pleased, and Cristiano Ronaldo was in the center position like a fool, scolding Mourinho in his heart.

Five to four, Manchester City's wing space has increased, but Real Madrid has no talent on the wing, especially the left wing, so they can only watch. Mourinho's adjustments were all in vain and did not have any expected effect.

Real Madrid has one less player on the field, but fortunately the three defensive midfielders of Zhuo Tuhe are really incredible together, and they did not fall behind in the away game against Manchester City.

In the 48th minute, Silva, who had little performance in the first half, came to life. He broke through Coentrao, but was carried out of the sideline by Zhuo Yang from behind, and the ball was also lost.

Kolarov threw a sideline ball, and Yaya Toure made a direct 45° cross. Without even letting Peper worry, Khedira defeated Dzeko in the air.

In the 51st minute, Silva once again broke through Coentrao on the right side of the penalty area and opened up space. Aguero eagerly 'overtook' from behind and grabbed the ball before Silva. His strength control was just a little bit greater, and he was blocked. Detu also overtook him and intercepted him easily.

But in general, Manchester City's offense is still alive, especially their two sides, after all, everyone has unique skills.

In the 57th minute, Dzeko's cross from the right was deflected by Khedira. The football happened to fall at the feet of Silva. His shot was too square and was solved by Carisias.

A minute later, Cristiano Ronaldo reluctantly shot his third goal of the day in the frontcourt. It was a header, which was soft and unseemly.

Manchester City finally got something.

Nasri's cross hit Shui Ye's arm. Referee Rocky thought it was intentional and gave him a yellow card. However, fortunately it was not in the penalty area and Manchester City got a direct free kick.

However, although the angle was not very good, Silva's inward rotation left Casillas helpless and Manchester City scored another victory.

At 2:3, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

When masters compete with each other, missing one person is indeed fatal. No fool can reach such a high level. If one game is missing, he will immediately realize the embarrassment of ten people fighting, and then he will catch up and fight fiercely.

Real Madrid's destiny at this time is on the wing.

There is basically no problem with Zhuo Tuhe in the middle, but the wings are as empty as a lovelorn homeboy. Coupled with the fact that Ronaldo, who was feeling angry, was deliberately watching the show in front, Real Madrid's offense and defense were very passive.

This is hard bullying. Who wants you to lose one person? The general response is to hold on hard and wait for the opponent to be exhausted, or to resist to the death and see if you can steal one. Other than that, there is no good solution.

But Mourinho obviously refused to accept his fate. He was not convinced that he had lost his advantage in the middle and failed to adjust his goals in the second half. Therefore, at the critical moment when Zhuo Tuhe was united and resisted resolutely, Mourinho replaced Modric with Got down to Detu.

Mourinho now needs a central offensive organizer and an attacking midfielder.

From a purely tactical point of view, this is a good adjustment, as good as Ronaldo playing center forward. But from a player psychology perspective, it is undoubtedly a denial of the efforts on the field. If we analyze it with the benefit of hindsight, Mourinho made an unnecessary move and even made things superfluous.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to watch the show. Zhuoyang thinks this is unreasonable. There is no problem in playing the magic flute. Wouldn't it be good for him to replace Di Maria in the 3-1 position in the midfield? Now I and He Lian are left with nothing to do.

Modric is still in the stage of being a cautious rookie. He does not have the status that he enjoys immediately after he comes up. He can only consciously keep busy, turning himself into a Detu who cannot defend and sweep.

Real Madrid's offense and defense on the field became even more unbearable.
