My name is Colani

It has to be said that Mourinho's research is reasonable. Bayern Munich gave Trapani too many counterattack opportunities in the two rounds. The defeat was not unexpected.

Mourinho would never do such a thing. He has experience. He has to rely on grinding and defensive counterattacks to deal with Barcelona. The same is true for Trapani.

So when the referee Weber blew the whistle to start the game, Real Madrid attacked for a few minutes without success, and immediately started the defense. Trapani easily controlled the ball.

Real Madrid also had to give up control. Mourinho's choice was right. Khedira and Alonso were both slow, but Cazorla and Mascherano were different. Moreover, Trapani also had advantages in running positions. These were conditions that Trapani could control.

Trapani also seemed more cautious after the start of this game. This was from Wenger's explanation that the team should keep the formation compact. Real Madrid's offensive power is also extremely terrifying. Ozil's creativity is very strong, and Ronaldo's finishing ability is also very strong.

Real Madrid focused on defense and wanted to wait for an opportunity to counterattack, while Trapani was cautious, so the rhythm during this period was not very fast, but rather slow. It can be seen that Wenger also studied Real Madrid and knew that they were more powerful when they counterattacked quickly.

It was not until the 12th minute that Trapani completed the first shot. Trapani played a wonderful match in the frontcourt, Aguero made a pass, and Messi's long shot outside the penalty area was both powerful and accurate. However, the former world's No. 1 goalkeeper was definitely not in vain, and flew to block the ball out of the baseline.

Real Madrid completed the first shot earlier than Trapani. Ronaldo took a long shot from more than 30 meters away. The threat of this shot was far less than that of Messi's shot, and the effect was zero.

However, in this corner kick, Real Madrid really made good use of this corner kick opportunity. After Trapani took the corner kick, Pepe cleared the ball outside the penalty area. Mascherano failed in the competition with Ozil. Ozil cushioned the ball to Benzema, who ran all the way to Trapani's half. Unfortunately, his pass was terrible in the end. Evra, who was returning to defense, resolved it. Ronaldo at the far end was very sad.

Before the game, Trapani knew that Real Madrid would definitely take advantage of such an opportunity. Just as Real Madrid would inevitably leak some defensive gaps, Trapani could not completely give Real Madrid no chance to counterattack.

Evra's flying interception was crucial. He almost scored an own goal, but it was just a near miss. At this moment, he was a real hero, so he roared after getting up to vent. Kameni gave Evra a thumbs up.

Mourinho covered his head in disbelief. If it was someone else, he might not be able to clear the ball, but it was Evra, who was very fast. Benzema actually had no problem handling it. He also saw Ronaldo running into an empty space at the far end, but the key pass was not good enough and the route was not accurately judged.

Trapani's fans also exclaimed, and then there was warm applause, praising Evra's thrilling clearance.

Back and forth, each had a chance to score, and both almost died. Then, in the climax of the two teams, Real Madrid suddenly strengthened the midfield's pressing. This was intentional by Mourinho. The change of rhythm was a risk, or it could be a success, which was difficult to explain clearly.

Trapani's midfield did feel the pressure of the opponent's pressure, but their running was better, and the tacit understanding between the players was also very high. The more Real Madrid pressed, the more Trapani's ball could hit their core defensive area. Trapani used this time to complete two or three shots.

Mourinho quickly asked the team to continue with the original tactical strategy and did not dare to take risks, so the game returned to normal.

There were no opportunities in the 45 minutes, and both sides created very few opportunities. Trapani had only two absolute opportunities, and Real Madrid was worse than them, with only one good shooting opportunity.

Weber blew the whistle to end the first half, and no one could do anything to anyone.

The score of 0:0 was definitely satisfactory to Mourinho. According to his true thoughts, it would be lucky to get a draw in this game, and it would be lucky to get a 1:1 draw, after all, the opponent had just bloodbathed the Bayern Munich team.

Although Wenger himself sought caution, he could not be called satisfied with the result of the first half. During the halftime break, he made some adjustments to the tactics. He asked the forwards to strengthen the passing and running, and to strengthen the breakthrough!

In the first half, only Messi dared to break through Trapani, but the effect he achieved was not very obvious. The opponent's defense line was well positioned. Whether Messi broke through and shot or passed the ball, he was not threatening.

Wenger's tactical adjustment is actually from one-point blasting to multiple-point blasting. The key is whether Real Madrid can withstand the multiple-point strategy, but it is still a bit difficult to rely on Messi.

The second half started soon. Real Madrid was well prepared, but they were not without weaknesses. For example, the left-back Coentrao was actually a defender with strong attacking attributes. There was also Marcelo on the bench. Compared with Marcelo, in Mourinho's eyes, at least his fellow countryman had a much stronger tactical execution ability.

However, judging from the situation in the first half, Coentrao had a hard time defending Messi, and he relied on the help of players in other positions, such as Ronaldo.

The competition between Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka was one of the highlights of this game. Ronaldo also performed very actively. Under Mourinho, Ronaldo is still a privileged player. He does not need to actively return to defense, but in this game, his attitude was quite active. Maybe it was because of the duel with Messi, or maybe it was against his old club. In short, he was very excited and worked very hard in defense. He returned to the half court several times to help his fellow countryman defend, and as a result, his own power was greatly reduced.

After the start of the second half, Trapani's offensive was fierce. Although Real Madrid had expected it, they were still a little tired in defense. The cheering of the Google Stadium made Real Madrid unable to raise their heads for a while. Trapani created several good opportunities, but unfortunately they all returned in vain.

Especially in the 53rd minute, after Messi's strong breakthrough and cross, Kaka's flying header almost scored a goal, but unfortunately Kaka's header skills were not very good, and the excellent opportunity was wasted.

Trapani's strong attack was risky, but Trapani performed particularly well at this stage. The high-position pressing in the front and middle court made it very difficult for Real Madrid to counterattack, and they could only frequently send high balls. As a result, Trapani was particularly easy to resolve and formed a siege again.

In the first half, Trapani's ball possession rate was as high as 65%, and at this stage, the ball possession rate even reached 80% at certain stages.

The old man's expression was grim, and it seemed that Real Madrid would be scored in a moment. Not to mention their senior management, even Mourinho couldn't sit still on the sidelines. He commanded loudly and kept asking his players to pay attention to the distance problem. His goal was to make his players quickly form a siege once the opponent got the ball.

The missed opportunities made Trapani's players naturally a little discouraged. After a wave of attacks, Trapani gradually became a little exhausted, and there was also the idea of ​​letting Real Madrid's formation come out.

What was Trapani thinking? Mourinho knew very well that although Hugo said Mourinho was worthless, Mourinho was indeed a coach who knew how to win.
