Iron Man on the pitch

"It's strange that in this game, Mourinho did not let Real Madrid use the high-level compression tactics that he had practiced for a long time, but instead used his classic defensive counterattack."

"It can also be seen from Mourinho's arrangement that he pushed Pepe to the midfielder to strengthen the interception of the midfield. It seems that in the first round of the two sides, Barcelona's pass-and-control tactics are given. Mourinho was impressed."

"Indeed, although Real Madrid won the national derby in the first half of the season, the scene was extremely ugly. Mourinho made such personnel adjustments to fight for the ball with Barcelona in the midfield."

"But how effective it is, let's slowly verify it through the competition."

It is related to the La Liga championship and the points are behind, Real Madrid's senior management dare not put pressure on Mourinho and force him to play against Barcelona. Moreover, the last match has proved that the attack was very difficult. Mourinho doesn't need to say he wants to play against the opponent like in the last game, but he privately pulls Li Ling to arrange defense.

Mourinho said that if I were given another Li Ling, I would dare to attack Barcelona, ​​or at least a midfielder with 80% of Li Ling and not 70% of the level, and I would dare to attack.

However, Florentino said Mourinho, are you kidding me? I can get such a configuration, so what else do you, the head coach?

Mourinho is not to be outdone, so don’t interfere with my defensive counterattack.

Florentino had to compromise. After all, this was Mourinho's first year, so he could bear it.

On the court, Barcelona can be said to be pushing against Real Madrid, but Real Madrid's lineup has a very strong defensive ability and is safe and secure.

After most of the season of rehabilitation and running-in, right back Thornton has regained his single-down Ronaldo at his peak; David Louis has also worked well with the team and integrated into the team's defensive system; Haha Vie Alonso, Cointran and Moutinho are both offensive and defensive.

Moreover, with the training in the previous few rounds of the league's state, the current Real Madrid players are no longer surprised when facing the sudden booing from the fans of the Bernabeu.

Barcelona tried several straight passes, but failed to break through Real Madrid's defense line. Instead, Real Madrid, whose ball was successfully intercepted, launched two quick counterattacks. If the referee hadn't shown mercy, Barcelona players would have at least received a yellow card.

Barcelona then slowed down the offensive rhythm. The two attacks of Ronaldo and Li Ling were too risky for Barcelona players, and they must not give Real Madrid a chance to counterattack as much as possible.

The game continued like this, but in the 35th minute, Mourinho's gesture changed and the Real Madrid players on the court instantly started to move.

After 35 minutes of testing, Real Madrid players have generally become familiar with Barcelona's rhythm and have also figured out their pass-and-receive habits and routes. At the same time, after besieging Real Madrid for so long, Barcelona's players not only have their physical fitness but also have inevitably relaxed in their mood.

So under the joint pressing between Pepe and Xavi Alonso, Xavi made a mistake and lost the football.

However, Xavi still tried hard to fight back on the spot and poked the football out, but none of the three of them controlled the football.

David Luis rushed out of the penalty area and competed for the half ball with Villa. The two of them were against each other. Finally, the football came to Moutinho by chance.

When he was training with Li Ling at Sporting Lisbon, Moutinho always subconsciously wanted to be as comprehensive as Li Ling, but in the end he found that his talent did not support him in doing so. Because his speed is not outstanding, Moutinho chose his future growth template for Xavi Alonso, whose speed is not a strong point.

More than half a season has passed, and Moutinho has made great progress. Not only did I continue to improve my ball-holding skills under high-intensity training, but I also made a visible improvement in the long pass.

Although he still can't reach the level of Xavi Alonso, as long as the receiver has a stronger ability, it can be considered a good shot. There will be no problem that the ball is too big and the ball is not over-topped.

For Li Ling, who sprinted to the frontcourt in advance, it was not difficult to receive this pass. Adriano, who tried to defend Li Ling, was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Li Ling.

There are many Brazilians named Adriano. Of course, this is not the most famous center Adriano, but the left back Adriano who played in Sevilla for several years is also excellent enough, so Will be taken by Barcelona.

However, Adriano, who is 173cm and 75kg, is as thin as a weak little girl compared to Li Ling who is 185cm and 83kg.. Li Ling just opened his arms normally and stopped the football with his chest without any interference.

Then, without waiting for the football to land, Li Ling raised his foot and hooked his back, and quickly turned around and rushed forward.

Adriano was shaking and unsteadily standing around Li Ling. When he stepped out his legs and accelerated, he found that he could no longer catch up with Li Ling.

Puyol came over to intercept Li Ling, and Li Ling quickly made a cross and handed the football to Ronaldo. At the same time, he did not stop at all, and continued to run forward and left Puyol far behind.

Ronaldo, who got the football, did not take another step, knocked the football to Benzema and ran to the left to compete with Alves who was defending himself.

Unfortunately, when Benzema stopped the ball, he was extremely concealed by Pique from behind with his crotch, but he pushed it very hard, and failed to stop the football as soon as possible.

Pique was very insidious now. He just made Benzema stagger, and the ball was still at Benzema's feet. The referee would not stop the game or give himself a yellow card. But such a moment of delay is enough to win back defense from our midfielder.

But the reason why Benzema was able to get the nickname "Bai Daluo" is that his feet were very good. Even though his body was a little unstable, Benzema keenly used Pique's legs to spread too wide, and the mid-range goal was wide open. Before Li Ling and Ronaldo were offside, he used his heels to pass Pique's double He knocked out between his legs.

Li Ling and Ronaldo, who were waiting for Benzema to pass the ball behind him, saw this scene and ran towards the football. While running, the two of them looked at each other.

Ronaldo quickly ran horizontally. Alves, behind him, subconsciously followed Ronaldo for two steps, then realized that something was wrong, let Ronaldo go and rushed towards the football.

But it's too late.

Li Ling, who was leading, kicked the football out of the open space ahead before Alves and Adriano, where only Ronaldo could catch up with the football.

Ronaldo, who easily got the football, spiked the ball and passed Valdes who attacked, and scored with a shot from the empty goal.

The Bernabeu Stadium, which had been suppressed for a long time, burst into deafening cheers.

"Royce's goal changed the score on the court to 1:0! It appeared! Mourinho's quick counterattack!"

"It's indeed a classic Mu style counterattack. Except for Li Ling, who had unloaded the ball at the beginning, touched the ball twice more, the football almost always kicked the ball in the later pass process until it finally formed a single shot."
