Chapter 118 Pressure

Everyone thought the first half would end with a 1:1 score, but no one expected Zhou Yi's sudden cold shot in front of the goal, which caused a goal.

When the goal happened, the Bernabeu Stadium was silent for about a second, and then a harsh boo sounded.

But no one knows whether the booing was for Dortmund, Real Madrid, Zhou Yi, who shot, or Aberoa, who blocked the football into the goal...

Anyway, there were familiar boos sounds again at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Amid the booing, Zhou Yi hugged his Dortmund teammates to celebrate the goal. And they celebrated it incredibly because the goal came too suddenly, and there was a sense of happiness of being hit by a pie on the street.

And the first half is over directly after their attention.

After blew the whistle of Zhou Yi's goal, referee Kakir continued to blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

The booing at the Bernabeu was even louder.

This time it seems that their booing was for the referee of the referee of this game, Kakir. The referee didn't give Real Madrid any more time. If Real Madrid can equalize the score and end the first half, it would be a perfect referee.

But unfortunately, referee Kakir didn't give them much face.

Dortmund's players walked off the court while celebrating.

The first half score was scored on the screen, and Dortmund led Real Madrid 2:1 away. There were also goal scorers above the score. However, Zhou Yi's goal showed that it was not scored by Zhou Yi, but Aberoa's own goal.

"The broadcasting agency seems to have counted this goal on Aberoa. What a pity that Zhou Yi and the Champions League goal missed... "

He Ping felt sorry for Zhou Yi. It would be great if Zhou Yi scored this ball.

※※※

He Ping felt sorry for playing Zhou Yi, but Marcel Leif was happy for Dortmund: "Being able to lead Real Madrid away fully reflects Dortmund's progress and growth. I think they must be the fastest growing team in Europe in these two seasons. When Klopp's "Youth Army" gradually matures, they will make the whole Europe dare not ignore it!"

Dortmund's victory over Real Madrid at home will make people feel that it has some mysterious power. However, being able to lead Real Madrid away will make those who are picking their bones find nothing wrong.

"Zhou Yi's last-minute goal must have disrupted Mourinho's plan. It's a pity that he had left the field early and did not see this goal. But he would definitely hear the booing of the Bernabeu, and he would definitely guess that his team lost the ball! I wonder if Real Madrid's concealment has anything to do with Mourinho's early departure?" As a German commentator, Marcel Leif teased his opponent with all his heart.

※※※

Mourinho did not see the ball conceding, but he heard the booing from outside in the passage, deafening, and he realized something was wrong.

But he didn't rush out to see what was going on. He just paused and then accelerated toward the locker room.

His assistant coach will tell him what happened in a while.

This concealment of the ball really made him feel a little bored. It was originally a draw, but he was already thinking about how to break the deadlock in the second half and then hold on to the victory. As a result, it turned out to be one goal behind, and the previous plan was no longer used. He had to rethink how to equalize the score as soon as possible in the second half and then overtake...

At the same time, he also needs to consider the changes in the players' mentality.

As the first half was about to end, the goal was lost, which would have a huge blow to the players' morale.

In football games, players' mentality and morale are often important reasons that determine the outcome of the game.

He not only needs to arrange tactics, but also to cheer up the players. It is probably useless to just lose his temper and scold people.

It was so complicated. When he thought of losing the ball, he gritted his teeth secretly. The time for losing the ball was too bad!

※※※

Mourinho's concerns and worries make sense. From the conceding of the ball to the end of the game, Real Madrid players were not in high spirits. Some of them even had confusion on their faces. They couldn't believe that the team actually concealed the ball in the last ten seconds of the first half...

The last minute of the goal loss hit them can be seen.

Coupled with the booing at the Bernabeu Stadium, I don’t know if it was targeted by them, but it fell into their ears and it was very harsh and further affected their emotions.

※※※

After the halftime break, Mourinho made his adjustments.

When the players of both sides returned to the court, two Real Madrid players stood on the sidelines, waiting to be replaced.

Mourinho changed two people in one breath and played only one card in his hand. This shows how much Zhou Yi's shot before the end of the first half forced him to.

Higuain was replaced, and the one who replaced him with the young genius Callehn trained by Real Madrid. Mourinho hopes to use Callehn's impetus to attack Dortmund's defense and create some chaos for Dortmund.

In addition, he replaced Modric with Essin.

When an attack was needed, he replaced an engineer with an organizational midfielder. Isn’t this adjustment very strange? It’s unreasonable?

But it is not. In this game, the four midfielders sent by Real Madrid, who are confident in winning Dortmund at home, are Xavi Alonso, Modric, Di Maria and Ozil. All of these four people are more focused on offense and have weak defensive abilities. Perhaps only Xavi Alonso can defend a little, but he is not a full-time defense.

What is the situation this causes?

When Dortmund fought back, Real Madrid lacked effective interception methods in the midfield. The four midfielders were not good at defense and were easily penetrated by Dortmund's counterattack and then directly faced the back line.

In the second half, when Real Madrid wants to further increase their offense, there will be more room behind them, which will inevitably cause Dortmund to counterattack. At this time, if the midfield does not have the interception force, it will be an indirect assist to Dortmund.

So replace Essin and let Essin defend in the midfield so that others can rest assured and boldly press the attack and put pressure on Dortmund.

So although he replaced an offensive player and a defensive player, Mourinho's adjustment was actually to strengthen Real Madrid's offensive power in the second half.

※※※

After changing to Essin and Callejon, Real Madrid's offensive in the second half became more threatening, because offensive players can participate more in the offense, and Mourinho's adjustment at the midfield did play a certain role.

Faced with Real Madrid's aggressive offensive, Dortmund quickly felt the pressure.

In the 57th and 65th minutes, Groschloitz and Hummels made fouls in defense and received a yellow card.

After feeling the tremendous pressure from Real Madrid, Klopp also made a substitution adjustment, and he replaced Reus with midfielder Sven Bend.

This is obviously a need to strengthen the defensive posture.

But things went against his wishes. Not long after he made a substitution, Real Madrid scored. In the 77th minute, Ozil equalized the score for Real Madrid!

"Mesut Ozil!!!"

The entire Bernabeu stadium turned into a boiling ocean at that moment, and everyone jumped out of their seats and shouted.

Amid their cheers, Real Madrid players flocked to Ozil, hugged in the corner flag area, waving fists and arms into the stands, and Real Madrid fans responded to them with even greater cheers.

At this time, the Bernabeu finally showed its terrifying power as Real Madrid's home court!

※※※

After conceding the ball, Marcel Leif immediately comforted the players, and was actually reducing the pressure on the Dortmund fans in front of the TV: "I lost the ball, which is something I don't want to see. But it doesn't matter, a draw is also an acceptable result for Dortmund. Now we should be more patient than Real Madrid!"

"Real Madrid's offensive firepower is quite strong. After their own home court, Dortmund did not hold back." He Ping felt sorry for Dortmund that he was unable to save the victory, but he quickly defended Dortmund. "But fortunately, Dortmund beat Real Madrid at home, so as long as they do not lose to Real Madrid in this game, they can gain an advantage in the victory and loss relationship. Now for Dortmund, they still have the upper hand. As long as they can hold on, there is nothing unacceptable to this result..."

The fans also understand it very well. Indeed, the result of draws from Real Madrid away is already very good. What else do you want?

Dortmund can completely accept this draw.

Real Madrid cannot.

They only have one goal at home, that is, win!

Only by winning Dortmund can they have the opportunity to compete with Dortmund for the first place in the group in the future. If they tie, whether they can become the first place in the group may depend on others' expressions.

So the Real Madrid gang had just finished the goal celebration, and Mourinho played his last card.

He replaced Aberoa with Kaka.

Replace an attacking forward and replace a full-back. What does Mourinho mean is very obvious. Continue to strengthen the offense and must score another goal in the remaining ten minutes to win Dortmund!
