Star Card System

Looking at the Real Madrid players hugging and celebrating, Mourinho suddenly lost his mind.

He recalled the years when he coached Real Madrid.

That was in the 2011-2012 season, when Real Madrid beat Barcelona to win the La Liga championship.

That season, Real Madrid won the championship with 100 points in a single season, and scored a total of 121 goals, making history.

Real Madrid occupied three of the top five La Liga scorers.

Although Ronaldo's 46 goals were slightly inferior to Messi's 50 goals, his teammates Higuain and Benzema scored 22 and 21 goals respectively.

The second-ranked Barcelona goal scorer was Sanchez's 11 goals, which was far behind Messi.

It can be seen that Real Madrid's attack was more balanced at that time.

That Real Madrid was also full of stars.

Although there was no ceremonial midfielder now, there were Spanish pass master Xabi Alonso, German No. 10, and the all-around Khedira.

Pepe was still on the defensive line, and Di Maria was still on the forward line.

This lineup was no less than the current Real Madrid.

That was Mourinho's most successful season at Real Madrid.

At that time, Real Madrid fans were still extremely picky. The team could not just win, but also win beautifully.

Mourinho's concept of winning by defense was not accepted by the fans.

Therefore, Mourinho, who was under great pressure, chose to adjust his tactics, with fast break and counterattack as the core tactics.

Unlike Barcelona's pursuit of delicacy, Real Madrid pursued efficiency more, passing three passes and two passes to the front of the goal, and scored.

Especially when switching from defense to offense, you must be resolute.

This is also the idea that Mourinho is now instilling in Manchester United players.

However, Real Madrid is still the best.

Zidane perfectly inherited this concept. Real Madrid is extremely efficient, especially the frequency of offense and defense conversion.

Ramos's clearance just now instantly turned into a counterattack. The players did not dribble for personal battles, but passed the ball decisively and quickly, and finally Ronaldo made the final decision.

"Jose, Jose?"

"Hmm?"

Mourinho finally came to his senses.

He looked at the stadium, where the Real Madrid players were still celebrating.

Guys, we were comrades-in-arms, but now we are enemies!

I won't allow you to celebrate so wantonly at Old Trafford!

Mourinho turned around and waved his arms vigorously towards the stands!

Brothers!

Get excited!

Give our players some encouragement!

They have done a great job!

Manchester United fans instantly got Mourinho's thoughts!

In an instant, the cheers of Manchester United fans resounded throughout the stadium again!

The Manchester United players, who were a little depressed because of the loss of the ball just now, slowly raised their heads at this moment!

Especially the captain Xia Xing on the field!

He also waved his arms vigorously to encourage his teammates around him!

Guys, we just did a great job!

We were just unlucky to lose the ball, and everyone worked hard!

Come on, we can still create opportunities!

We will definitely equalize the score quickly!

Come on, brothers!

Manchester United players were also infected and quickly returned to their positions, ready to restart the game.

Although they were one goal behind, when the referee blew the whistle, Manchester United players still organized their offense and defense in an orderly manner.

Especially the backcourt defense.

Under Xia Xing's retreat organization, Manchester United players did not rush to attack because of the loss of the ball. They still defended steadily and then waited for an opportunity to attack.

This was Mourinho's pre-match requirement and the tactical idea that Xia Xing firmly agreed with.

Zidane nodded on the sidelines.

This Manchester United is very mature.

You know, many teams will attack immediately after losing the ball, and then be robbed of points by their opponents.

But Manchester United is not in a hurry and still plays steadily.

After all, there is plenty of game time, and emotions must not be anxious.

This Manchester United is not easy to deal with.

When the game resumed, both sides returned to the situation where Real Madrid was dominant.

They continuously organized attacks in the frontcourt, putting Manchester United's defensive pressure on great.

However, with Xia Xing organizing defense in the backcourt, Manchester United's defense line is still solid.

The next twenty minutes seemed to pass quickly, as Real Madrid attacked Manchester United's defense without success.

They were not in a hurry, slowly controlling the ball and looking for opportunities.

Occasionally, they shot, but they were all saved by De Gea.

There was no threatening scene.

Until the 40th minute of the game.

In a clearance, De Gea punched the ball with both fists and the ball flew to the middle.

Fellaini took the ball with his back and turned quickly to get rid of it.

He did not have the speed of Xia Xing, so he accelerated his movement of the ball under his feet, trying to avoid the Real Madrid players who were rushing behind him.

But he failed.

Casemiro kicked the ball diagonally!

This tackle was very exciting, and he touched the ball first!

The ball flew out and Fellaini was also brought to the ground!

The referee blew the whistle!

Casemiro fouled!

The Brazilian midfielder felt very wronged and explained to the referee, but the referee did not give him time to explain and checked Fellaini who fell to the ground as soon as possible.

Fellaini fell to the ground and hit the shoulders of the warrior for a long time.

Manchester United's medical team quickly came on the field to check Fellaini's injury.

At this time, Mourinho had asked several midfielders to warm up at the same time and prepare for the game.

At this time, Mourinho was ready to let Fellaini go off the field.

After all, Fellaini was injured some time ago, and it was too dangerous to stay on the field at this time.

As for who to let on the field, Mourinho has not made a final decision yet...

At this time, the game on the field continued.

Manchester United had one less player on the field, so they played more conservatively, trying to control the ball as much as possible without losing it, waiting for their teammates to return to the team, or for new teammates to come on as substitutes.

But the Real Madrid players did not give Manchester United a chance.

They sprinted quickly in the frontcourt!

Especially Casemiro, who was very aggressive at this moment!

Finally, Manchester United's pass was intercepted by him!

This time it was Pogba's pass, which was a little casual. He failed to pass it to Matic in the backcourt and was intercepted by Casemiro!

Real Madrid launched a counterattack in Manchester United's half!

Manchester United's defense was in chaos!

Casemiro called on the striker to advance, and then knocked it across to the middle!

He also rushed up!

Casemiro performed very well in this game!

As a key figure in the transition between offense and defense, he did the best he could!

Solid defense and decisive passing!

At this moment, he resolutely inserted into the penalty area, causing chaos in Manchester United's defense!

Modric received the ball, and with Casemiro, several Manchester United teammates were already responding in the penalty area!

C Ronaldo, Benzema, and Isco all went up!

Manchester United's defensive players were ready!

Even Xia Xing retreated to help defend C Ronaldo!

The Red Devils were very nervous!

Modric observed for a while outside the penalty area and kicked decisively!

This turned out to be a shot?

It was a long shot!

Just when everyone thought Modric would pass the ball, he actually took a long shot directly!

About 28 meters away from the goal, the Croatian midfielder shot with great force, like a missile piercing the clouds, and went straight into the Manchester United net!

The ball blasted through De Gea's ten fingers!

Smashed into the net!

2-0!

Real Madrid scored another goal!

They expanded their lead! (End of this chapter)
