Chapter 512 Don’t Underestimate Toure
After 45 minutes, although the score was still 0:0, Mourinho's tactics were actually very successful today. In particular, the midfielder composed of Zhuo Yang, Detu, and Khedira formed an absolute dominance over the court, forcing Manchester City to defend in a panic and had to survive on the rugged and narrow wings.
Midfielder core Yaya Toure loves to bullfight with Zhuo Yang. As a result, although Zhuo Yang's shooting skills were broken, he tied his own hands and could not provide much help to the team offensively.
Toure's partner in the midfield, Gareth Barry, is a standard British defensive midfielder, a traditional midfielder who can play both as a defender and as a midfielder.
Barry's two most important roles on the court are: he can free Gerrard and Lampard in the national team; he can free Yaya Toure in Manchester City.
Therefore, once Toure cannot fly, Barry's role is only to distribute the ball to both sides.
There is also a former Real Madrid youth training midfielder Xavi Garcia, but one Khedira is enough for him. Although the old players of Real Madrid are famous in the world, they are always eliminated by Real Madrid. It is okay to be fierce occasionally, but it is not in line with football ethics to be so fierce all the time.
The midfield was out of control. Manchester City's defense was under great pressure today. The two full-backs Maicon and Clichy were very busy. Although Arbeloa on the right side of Real Madrid provided average assists, Di Maria in front of him was very vigorous.
Not to mention the left wing composed of Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo on the other side, which is completely the best left wing in the world.
The root cause of Manchester City's passivity on the field ultimately comes from Yaya Toure's 'inaction'. However, Toure, an all-around midfielder who has dominated the Premier League in the past two years, is by no means a role that can be underestimated. At least Mancini is. I have great confidence in him and continue to let Toure do whatever he wants on the court.
But Toure's performance in the first half will inevitably be underestimated by outsiders. Mourinho made this mistake first.
During the halftime break, Mourinho instructed Zhuoyang not to be obsessed with the fight with Yaya Toure, and gave Detu the task of blocking the connection between Toure and Manchester City's front line.
There is nothing wrong with this change of tactics. Detu is not inferior to Zhuoyang in midfield defense, or even better. Therefore, after the start of the second half, Toure still did nothing offensively, and Manchester City was still suppressed by Real Madrid.
Likewise, a high-spirited Joe Hart refused to change the score on the field.
In the 52nd minute, Javi Garcia was upset by Khedira. He turned around and tackled Khedira in retaliation, causing a commotion between the two teams. The referee Skomina also showed his true colors. First yellow card of the game.
In the 54th minute, taking advantage of the staggered position, Yaya Toure received a pass from David Silva and completed his first shot. Before it was Casillas' turn to show his skills, the football was blocked by Pepe. Crossed the bottom line.
Silva took a corner kick, and Javi Garcia tried to attack the goal with his head, but Zhuo Yangtaishan, who had already targeted him, headed the ball to clear the ball and knocked Garcia out of place.
Even though Garcia is also 18.2 kilograms tall, he was not that tall at all due to mental calculations or unintentional calculations. He was twisted on the ground for a long time after being beaten by Zhuo Yang, and the team doctor ran in before he could stand up straight again.
Yaya Toure said: "Zhuoyang, I feel you did it on purpose."
Zhuo Yang glanced at him sideways: Nonsense!
Zhuoyang and Detu took over in the first and second half, making Toure a stranger on the court, doing nothing until Dirinho completely ignored the Ivorian who had made great contributions to the rise of Manchester City.
The pressure to win, the criticism caused by the team's decadence at the beginning of the season, and Mourinho's fateful anxiety in the third period made Mourinho eager to turn his advantage on the field into a victory as soon as possible.
Real Madrid adjusted substitutions and Ozil replaced Detu. This was a signal for a large-scale attack.
Zhuoyang still focuses on attacking the front midfielder. Real Madrid's formation at this time is close to the 4-1-2-3 fighting posture, leaving only Khedira in the throat position of the back midfielder.
In Mourinho's view, when the defensive pressure is not high, it is enough to keep one Khedira.
He Lian is indeed not a mortal, but the most fatal problem is that Mourinho did not clearly explain the supervision of Yaya Toure.
Mourinho thinks this is irrelevant.
At the same time, Mancini also changed players. David Silva, who was trained to death by Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo, was replaced, and Eden Dzeko came on to play as a double center.
It was very inexplicable. When Silva came off the field, the entire Bernabeu applauded, and it was obvious that he himself was a little surprised.
He is neither a former Real Madrid player who has played here, nor did his performance in today's game make people feel heartbroken. Instead, it was very frustrating. What kind of nerve did Meilinger have?
Perhaps, they want to thank David Silva for his outstanding contribution to the Spanish national team's defending European championship in the summer. Anyway, Meilinger’s boundless love is quite puzzling.
.
After Dier's eye-catching pass and cut, he rushed to the bottom line and kicked the football towards the goal with a powerful instep that seemed like a pass and a shot.
Hart fell to the ground and caught up with Cristiano Ronaldo, who was outflanking him from behind, and blocked the football out of the danger zone with one hand. The football that was trying to cause trouble fled directly from the goal to outside the penalty area.
It was Yaya Toure who got the ball in the empty space.
Zhuo Yangxin said: Want bad things.
As soon as he thought about it, Toure had already turned around and walked away with the ball in his head, and disappeared in an instant.
Zhuo Yang was still near the corner flag, Khedira and Di Maria tried their best to chase back, and Arbeloa on this side was also trying hard to recover.
The tall and powerful Varane stepped forward immediately. He only needed to stop Toure for a few seconds. Varane crouched and ducked, guarding against Toure's passing.
The King of Cote d'Ivoire doesn't do those troublesome things. He just pokes the football away while running at high speed. Dzeko, who understood the situation, turned around and shook off Pepe at the same moment, successfully countering offside.
In front of Casillas, Dzeko and football reached the same goal.
A low shot with his left foot, the football scurried into the net from the right side of Casillas who suddenly fell to the ground like a snake, 0:1.
Bernard was speechless. No one thought that in such a perfect siege situation, he would be succeeded by a sneak attack by Manchester City.
Why don't you applaud the philanthropic Mellinger?
On the surface, this was Pepe's fault. He was easily turned away by Dzeko. But the root cause is that Toure's ability to penetrate Real Madrid was due to his vast experience.
From the precise judgment of the landing point outside the penalty area to the control of the counterattack rhythm, his personal propulsion skills allowed Khedira and Di Maria to catch up but had no time to make a move, leaving Varane unable to guess his next move.
An expert knows the way. It seems like a simple counterattack, but it actually contains Yaya Toure's insight into the court and his own fierceness.
The entire scene was silent, and once the inspiration came to light, the situation was settled. Mourinho paid the price for his indiscretion.
Fortunately, the game was only about 60 minutes, and Real Madrid still had a chance to make up for it.
