Midfielder
Chapter 117 Mourinho's plan
Under the night sky of Madrid, there was a group of crazy people who were running wild with their arms open and roaring around, and those unlucky Madrid fans could only endure it. They just watched from their seats, watching the black-haired little guy pierce the defense of Real Madrid with a knife again and again.
The flexible footsteps, the swaying figure, the dazzling feints, and the accuracy of the fatal blow were all destroying the pride of the Madrid people.
That kind of splendor should have belonged to the glory of Real Madrid, but now there is a little guy who tortures their nerves in the same way.
Porto used this last minute to make a crazy counterattack. From beginning to end, this was a standard game conspiracy. They just knocked out the loyal supporters of Real Madrid with a stick in front of tens of thousands of people.
They didn't have much exquisite cooperation, they relied entirely on the most accurate running and receiving, and the only improvisation was Lin Yi's passing in front of the goal.
Killing the opponent in the simplest way, what Mourinho said off the court has become a reality, Porto is so simple and deadly.
This crazy counterattack not only stunned the fans at the scene, but also silenced the superstars in the Real Madrid team.
No one expected such a result. They had obviously taken the upper hand, but the opponent quickly and fiercely opened the score again.
What their crazy siege failed to do, their opponents did so simply, and did it twice in a row.
These superstars couldn't help but be confused. This was the second time they encountered such an embarrassing situation when facing Porto. They occupied the absolute offensive right on the field, but they always watched their opponents wreak havoc in front of their own goal. No one could explain why.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the reaction of more than 80,000 fans in the Bernabeu was half a beat slower than usual. Those fans who liked to provoke the visiting team forgot to boo the Porto team. They just watched the opponent swagger past them with a smile on their faces.
It was not until those guys got into the player tunnel that these shocked fans reacted, but they had missed the opportunity for revenge.
There was no way. The past 45 minutes had shocked them too much. Not only was the scene hot, but also because of the magical performance of a black-haired kid on the field. People seemed to have forgotten how long it had been since the Bernabeu stage was occupied by others.
Pendulum-style passing, Marseille turn, these Bernabeu's most familiar technical moves, were all skillfully used by the black-haired kid on his own team, and his pace of replicating classics had not stopped. Before the end of the first half, the kid even tried a direct shot from a corner kick.
A daring act, almost contemptuous of the opponent's provocation, but Lin Yi didn't think so much at this time.
"Use different shooting methods to capture the opponent, even if it is just a possibility, you have to try it." Lin Yi, who had completely relaxed his nerves and devoted himself to the game, was the most terrifying at this moment. He was simply casually showing off his skills on the field.
However, his whimsical plan was strangled in the cradle by Casillas. Although Lin Yi waved his hand in annoyance for not being able to score the goal, the fans at the scene could see that this kid always had a scary smile on his face.
It was better when the kid didn't smile. Once he put on a smile on the corner of his mouth, it always made Madrid fans feel creepy.
There was always an unfathomable smile on that boy's face, but as long as he could still smile, it always represented a danger.
Watching the opponent walk into the locker room easily, the pace of the Real Madrid team seemed much heavier, especially Casillas, who was scored two goals. It might be the first time for him to encounter such a thing at the Bernabeu Stadium. He was almost passed by the opponent twice.
Although the second shot was a lob shot, and he was not the most responsible for the two goals, but being teased by a 16-year-old child, Casillas, the top goalkeeper in Spain, could not maintain a balanced mentality to deal with this terrible situation anyway.
He was not the most depressed person. When Pavan and Bravo walked to the player tunnel, they were even abused by the fans.
Those were not the Porto fans from Portugal, but the most hardcore Real Madrid fans. They had endured these two idiots for more than 40 minutes. Now they finally couldn't hold back their anger. More than one person was roaring at Pavan and the others.
"Stupid guys! You ruined this game. You have disgraced the Madrid people. You are simply a shame for Madrid football!"
"Get out of here quickly. There is no need for trash like you here! Are you worthy of your salary? You are simply rubbish!"
The crazy shouting was not directed at the visiting team. Even Raul didn't know how long ago he had encountered such a situation.
This may be the first time in several seasons that Real Madrid has encountered such an experience at home. They will also hear such fierce criticism at their home stadium.
Unlucky Pavan and Bravo became scapegoats for the team's poor performance. At this time, they could only hide in the player tunnel in embarrassment.
Now they may not know whether this is the home stadium of Real Madrid, the Bernabeu, or the Dragon Stadium of Porto.
Now all Real Madrid can do is just watch it happen. Now even the most loyal fans of Real Madrid are beginning to worry whether their great team will really fall in the Bernabeu. Now this is really not a joke.
Even if Zidane's beautiful and coherent Marseille turn is still playing on the big screen of the Bernabeu Stadium, it can no longer arouse the fans' fluctuations. These fans are constantly replaying Lin Yi's performance in their minds.
That gorgeous process brought them not only enjoyment, but also psychological destruction. This may be the pain and happiness in the hearts of these fans.
1:2, such a score now looks so dazzling. The big win they expected did not appear. Real Madrid has fallen behind. They must be a chaser just like the group ranking, but what will happen in the next 45 minutes, no one can predict.
Even the commentators on the scene began to change their tone of commentary when they were responsible for the broadcast. They no longer just talked about the greatness of Real Madrid and the glory of the Bernabeu, but truly analyzed the win-loss relationship between the two teams and the direction of the second half.
"Maybe Queiroz should adjust the personnel configuration on the field during the halftime break. Our midfield defense looks too weak."
"It is indeed a bit difficult to let Beckham defend Deco and Lin Yi. We should prepare two defensive midfielders, just like in away games. Only in this way can the opponent's two front midfielders not break through so wantonly. We now need the thickness of defense."
The commentator's analysis is not wrong. What they said is very correct. Queiroz's single defensive midfielder tactics completely failed. Beckham's interception alone cannot take care of the overall situation. He needs a partner who can help him in the midfield, and Real Madrid also needs to pay attention to defense.
But now these commentators themselves may not notice that when they comment on their opponents, the tone has changed. They no longer use the tone of contempt for Porto's strength, but put the opponent and themselves on the same level, just like when playing against those European giants.
They even mentioned the midfield defense more than once. You know, before the game started, these guys were still shouting loudly in the commentary booth that Real Madrid would definitely win, and win by a huge margin, because no one could stop Real Madrid's attack at the Bernabeu Stadium!
But reality slapped them in the face mercilessly. The attack line of Real Madrid, which they thought was the best in the world, failed to bring a devastating blow to Porto. Although Zidane's goal was beautiful, they were now behind, and the score on the field was the most ruthless.
Real Madrid's poor defense line had been pierced by the sharp knife of Porto, and twice, each time more fierce and sharper than the last.
Those Madrid people who were still clamoring to make Porto pay the price before the game also shut up obediently at this time. Maybe only those people from AS were still holding on there, but they were just using such toughness to cover up their inner embarrassment.
However, these mouthpieces of Real Madrid are also considering retreating. However, no matter how they retreat now, they are already like a group of born idiots in the eyes of others. It was their incitement that pushed Real Madrid to such a cusp, and now they have no way to retreat.
No one knows how long Queiroz roared in the locker room of Real Madrid, but looking at the faces of those Real Madrid superstars when they returned to the court again, they must have experienced a storm of saliva baptism in the past ten minutes.
They didn't even linger in the locker room for a while, but returned to the court early to wait for the kick-off of the second half. Maybe the boos in the Bernabeu Stadium are much more pleasant than the roar of the Portuguese. Real Madrid finally has a hair dryer.
Queiroz, who feels that he is about to lose his job, will not save face for anyone. Even those superstars who he dare not touch at ordinary times, there is no special treatment at this time, unless the game can return to the control of Real Madrid in the second half.
Otherwise, even a Bernabeu prince like Raul would be criticized. Anyway, Queiroz is going all out now, and he must make changes to the team.
Although Queiroz is on the verge of going crazy, he has not forgotten what kind of changes his team needs to make. Solari has been replaced by him. The only help this guy can provide to the team on the field may be to step on the grass for the ground maintenance staff.
Guti replaced Solari on the field. He and Beckham rebuilt the double defensive midfielder protection layer in the midfield. At least Queiroz no longer wants to see Lin Yi and Deco's wanton breakthroughs. He would rather choose to play conservatively on the field, which is better than watching the opponent's breakthroughs again and again on the sidelines.
Raul also withdrew from the Queiroz forward line to the midfield. When Zidane dragged back, Raul played the role of a shadow striker. Perhaps this would have a good effect. Now it is obvious that Raul will not take any advantage if he still plans to keep him in the penalty area.
The only thing that can't be changed is the guys on the back line. Now there is really no one on the bench of Real Madrid who can play as a defender. But now with the protection of the two defensive midfielders, maybe they will get a little better. Queiroz can only pray to God.
But when the group of Porto barbarians filed out of the player tunnel, Queiroz's eyes were straight. He felt that God really came.
The 11 people who came out of the Porto team did not have the black-haired boy, Deco, and even Dallei did not appear in the crowd.
The front trident was all rested. Mourinho's change of tactics made everyone confused, including the commentator in charge of the broadcast.
"What's going on? Are you kidding? After halftime, replace all your offensive main players!?" Now everyone is wondering if Mourinho has lost his mind because of the lead in the score. Does he think that he can win at the Bernabeu by relying on substitutes?
Mourinho is not an idiot, nor is he arrogant, so he can't be naive to think that he can deal with opponents with a substitute striker lineup for a long time.
But he is not stupid. Before the game, he had already studied the opponents he might meet next. That was the longest time he weighed.
Now, whether Porto qualifies as the first or second place in Group F is actually not that big of a difference, especially for the next opponent.
According to UEFA's principles, the 16 teams that have emerged from the group stage will fight against each other. All teams belonging to the same football association will not meet in the first round of the knockout stage, and teams in the same group in the group stage will not meet again, and teams with the same ranking in the group stage will not meet.
The second-ranked team in the group stage will play at home first, and then play away. This may be the only advantage of ranking first in the group.
But now in the eight groups, the second-ranked team may appear, including Bayern, Stuttgart, Deportivo La Coruna, Juventus and even Inter Milan may catch this last train, which makes the title of group first seem to have no advantage at all.
Unless you believe that God is your relative, he will protect you and ensure that you choose the weakest opponent, otherwise, you have to fight hard.
Being the first place to touch these tough bones is no different from being the second place, and the advantage of playing at home first and then away is not good for Porto. If Porto is the first in the group, it is very unfortunate to run into a traditional giant.
Then playing away first is not a good thing for Porto. If they lose away, then the possibility of them coming back at home is very small. The most important thing is that it is likely to break the good mentality that Porto has been maintaining now.
At this time, Mourinho would rather choose to start from his home court first. At least in the Dragon Stadium, he can let the team defend its honor. Even if it encounters a team like AC Milan, Mourinho dares to swear that he will bite off a piece of meat from the opponent.
After reaching the knockout stage, any accident may make the team's efforts for the whole season go to waste. Even if the club does not put any pressure on him to achieve results in the Champions League, Mourinho does not want to just play a supporting role in the knockout stage.
Everyone has a desire for honor, and Mourinho is no exception. After dominating the Portuguese Super League, his eyes have been locked on the Champions League.
Going further, Mourinho will not let Porto stop as long as possible, especially when he saw Lin Yi galloping on the field, the idea in Mourinho's mind became stronger. He wanted to create a Champions League miracle for Porto.
So when the Madrid people were hanging their hearts, he made substitutions, and three at a time. This was something he had agreed to before the game, but Lin Yi complained a little in the locker room because the winner between him and Zidane had not yet been decided.
"You have plenty of time to compete with that Frenchman in the future. I don't want any accidents to happen in the game, especially when the opponent's defender loses his mind. I don't want anyone in Porto's frontcourt to pay the price of injury for reckless behavior."
Mourinho's words are orders. Although Lin Yi is still mumbling, he can only accept this arrangement. At this moment, he is quietly nestling on the bench and watching his teammates on the field exercising. It can be seen that he has not fought enough in the past 45 minutes.
The knife that has been sharpened enough was put back into the sheath by Mourinho. Now the win or loss of this game is no longer important to him. Replacing the young players is just to let them feel what it is like to play in the most luxurious stadium in the world.
This is a naked humiliation. When the 80,000 people in the Bernabeu saw this scene, they could not consider Mourinho's true thoughts.
They could only feel that they were completely despised by the Portuguese, and in such a direct way. An inexplicable anger was spreading.
Even if Real Madrid can win this game now, it will be meaningless, because the opponent is not fighting with its strongest lineup at all. Winning doesn't mean anything. Although Mourinho did not do this intentionally, it is indeed very unethical.
"Boss, actually... your revenge is stronger than mine, you are really mean..." Lin Yi pointed at Mourinho and said.
"Shut up, watch your game, if you talk again, you will still be on the bench in the next game!" Mourinho's warning is more effective than anything else.
"This man is so scary when he is petty..." Although Lin Yi shut up, he secretly despised the wretched uncle.
2:1, this is the unfinished war between Lin Yi and Zidane. Lin Yi now hopes that the group of Madrid people can go to the end until they meet again.
The door to the Champions League knockout stage has slowly opened, and the craziest duel is about to come. . .
To challenge those great giants, this is the ambition of a black-haired boy, growing under the night sky of Madrid. . .
(Rooney's contract extension... this is too ridiculous, what is this? Did the master and the apprentice team up to force the American boss to step down??? This is too weird... I'm dizzy, this news is hyped...)
