Mourinho also thought of what Gao Han could think of.

As Gao Han expected, Real Madrid retreated at the full range. Mourinho was obviously very clear about his team's situation. During the break, he said that retreating was for a better counterattack, but in fact, he was just to ensure that the team's physical fitness could last the entire game without crashing.

It can be said that after the two sides changed sides and fought again, except for the two sides who seemed to have counterattacked twice and shot a long shot at the beginning, Real Madrid was basically defending passively at the rest of the time.

But Mourinho obviously expected Gao Han's intentions to be accurate. While retreating across the board, the formation was kept very compact, especially in the defense of Manchester City's midfielder. Mourinho put a lot of effort into it, and Moutinho and Las Diyala even suppressed Modric and David Silva.

Mourinho's skills are quite high in organizational targeted defense.

This made Real Madrid's oppression and pressing weaken after the start of the second half, but the overall defensive formation was still solid. In addition, with the retreat of the entire line, Manchester City still failed to threaten the Galaxy's goal.

The pace of the game was very fast and very nervous. Both sides were very careful. Manchester City controlled the ball, Real Madrid defended with all their might. Both sides barely maintained a certain balance. Gao Han and Mourinho did not dare to adjust easily, and made too many changes, especially substitutions.

After fifteen minutes of the second half, both sides consumed a lot of physical fitness, especially Real Madrid, where the pressing and pressure were significantly weakened, but Mourinho's team became more compact and almost stood firm at the front of the penalty area.

This made Gao Han frown on the sidelines.

"Murinho is like a stone in a cesspool, smelly and hard!"

Stinky means to describe his temper, and hard means to describe his coaching style, especially his defense.

"If this situation continues, it will not be able to defeat the game after the game." Brian Kidd said resentfully.

Gao Han nodded, it was true, especially once both sides were exhausted with similar physical energy, the game was likely to be dragged into a draw, which Gao Han didn't want to see.

Of course, at that time, he would use the skill card without hesitation to strengthen the team's offensive.

He has been winning streaks for the past eleven years. How could he make his winning streak record cut in Mourinho?

What's more, the purpose of coaching Manchester City is to make the Champions League. Now he is only two steps away from the Champions League, so he will not let Mourinho succeed in any case.

However, the skill card is his last killing move, and before that, he still has many tricks to use.

"Go and let Gareth Bell warm up." Gao Han said lightly.

…………

…………

Manchester City's substitutes will run out to warm up every once in a while to maintain the heat of physical function and make it easier to play a role faster after playing. However, if the opponent intends to observe, it is not difficult to find the opportunity to substitution, especially when entering the second half.

As soon as Brian Kidd walked to the bench and asked Gareth Bale to go out to warm up, the Real Madrid coaching seat immediately received the news, and Mourinho also attached great importance to the Welsh winger who was warming up in the distance from the visiting coaching seat.

"Gareth Bale!" Mourinho recited the player's name and a trace of solemnity flashed across his eyes.

Of course he will not forget the Welsh players, because in the Champions League group stage half a year ago, Gareth Bale shone the entire Bernabeu stadium, which brought a catastrophe to him and his Real Madrid. It was also that battle that made the Welsh famous in one fell swoop.

Gareth Bale is best at speed and is very impactful. After joining Manchester City, his shooting skills have also been greatly improved. Gao Han's use of him is also very interesting. The Welshman became famous on the left side, but Gao Han always arranged for him to play on the right side and replace Sanchez's position.

The last time at the Bernabeu, Gareth Bale kicked Aveloa on the left, what about this time?

Is it the Welshman's left lane more confident? Or is it the right lane he often plays this season?

How shrewd Mourinho was, he soon realized that the possibility of the left side was greater.

So, the remaining suspense is who will he replace?

In Manchester City's frontcourt offensive combination, every player is crucial. Benzema is a bridgehead, a tactical fulcrum, and has strong personal abilities and scoring abilities. Needless to say, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, Sanchez's role is also very obvious and is a weapon for attacking the wing.

In this situation, it is probably possible that besides Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, who is in good condition in this game, Benzema and Sanchez are even likely. Gao Han can replace a midfielder and strengthen the front line.

Soon, Gareth Bale ran back after the heat, and was pulled by Gao Han, and after a soft reminder, he walked to the sidelines and prepared to make a substitution.

…………

…………

"It's now the 67th minute of the second half, and Manchester City made its first substitution in this game."

"Gareth Bale is going to play. This player's performance against Real Madrid in the group stage was very eye-catching. I wonder if he can repeat the wonderful performance of that year this time."

"Let's see, Gareth Bale replaced Benzema, center Benzema."

"Gao Han's substitution this time is very bold. Benzema is the fulcrum of Manchester City's frontcourt offense and his tactical role is very obvious, but at this time he chose to replace him. It is estimated that Gao Han also saw that after Real Madrid contracted its defense, Benzema's role in the pincer attack between Albiol and Bruno Alves was not obvious."

"But how will Gareth Bale play after he comes on the court?"

"Cristiano Ronaldo was switched to the middle and Gareth Bale appeared on the left side. This should be considered a strengthening attack."

"Murinho seemed a little nervous on the sidelines, and kept calling out to Real Madrid players. He was obviously also making tactical adjustments to Manchester City's substitutions, but the Portuguese madman still did not follow up and substitutions."

"This is not surprising. After all, the current situation between the two sides is difficult to predict, and the effect of substitution is not obvious."

…………

Gareth Bale was particularly excited to climb to the Bernabeu Stadium again.

This is the second time he has stepped on this stadium in his career. The last time he became famous here and became famous. This time it was another 10,000-dollar Champions League semi-final. Gareth Bale is eager to be able to perform at the level of half a year ago.

And what stood in front of him was still the old opponent of the last time, Aveloa.

The Spanish right-back was already panting. When he saw him, he looked solemn and looked like he was facing a great enemy.

Gareth Bell walked over with a big stride and smiled at Aveloa, "Hello, long time no see."

But what responded to him was Aveloa's cold snorkeling. Obviously, the last meeting was a nightmare for him.

Whether at the Bernabeu or Manchester City Stadium, Gareth Bale has created quite a few threats on his side, which has led to the defeat of Real Madrid.

Now that we meet again, Gareth Bale is still on the bench, young and strong, and has abundant physical fitness, but Aveloa has been destroyed by Cristiano Ronaldo for more than an hour, and her physical fitness has been consumed a lot. In addition, the shadow of those two games half a year ago, one has risen and the other has declined, so how can Aveloa not worry?

The game started again, and Manchester City still hit the wings more.

Gao Han's abacus was very clear. Gareth Bale and Sanchez were at the forefront of the forward line, pulling out Real Madrid's defensive formation width from two sides, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka retreated, and after playing, they inserted the threat.

This arrangement makes Real Madrid's defense difficult, especially the two wings, which can easily fall into a one-on-one situation.

Gareth Bale's first goal after taking the ball was a diagonal pass from David Silva. After the Welshman got the ball, he accurately caught a lou dong, used his speed to forcefully break through Aveloya, and shot with his left foot.

The Welshman's shot was so powerful that it was like thunder, with a very straight angle.

In the penalty area, Casillas was not sure enough to hold the ball in his arms, and was forced to block the ball with both hands. He was even beaten to almost tilt. But he stood up at the first time and happened to see Kaka inserted from the back row again, and shot again, immediately jumped and shot the ball out again.

Two consecutive high-level saves in front of the goal won Casillas' cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium.

But only Real Madrid defensive players who are really on the stadium can deeply understand the fear of being scored by the opponent anytime and anywhere.

Everyone has tried their best, but they still cannot completely block the opponent's attack. They are worried all the time, wondering when, from what angle, how the other party will take to break through the defense line and create murderous intent.

Soon, the game started again.

Manchester City still patiently organized and planned the attack according to its original rhythm, with the focus on flying both wings and then turning back from both wings back to the middle.

In the 71st minute, Gareth Bale from the left wanted to break through after getting the ball, making Aveloa and Las Diarra feel like they were facing a big enemy, but the Welshman suddenly made a cross from the middle. David Silva got the ball in the back row and was tripped by Felipe Melo for a foul, and Manchester City won a free kick opportunity.

Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty himself, and a precise leaf-falling ball was sent out, and it bypassed the human wall. When it fell rapidly, it barely rubbed the upper right corner and came out of the bottom line.

This goal once again shocked Real Madrid and sweated. If the Portuguese pressed the ball lower, it would be a dead end and Casillas would not be able to save it.

Soon, Manchester City's offensive made a comeback, but this time it was dribbling from the middle. After Modric and Kaka cooperated continuously, Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball at the front of the penalty area. When he was about to kick, he tripped by Albiol.

But referee Stark believed that Albiol hit the ball first and did not call a foul. However, judging from the slow motion replay, Albiol did make a foul.

For the details that happened in the blink of an eye, it may not even be absolutely sure of the two sides to distinguish the right and wrong, but Manchester City still protested against Stark's penalty.

Perhaps it was after Gareth Bale came on the court and Manchester City adjusted their position and played more active on the left side, which led to Real Madrid's defensive focus on this side, which made it a bit relaxed in the defense on the right.

When the Brazilian failed to break through on the left and passed back to Kaka at the front of the penalty area, while the Brazilian had to pass back to Xavi Alonso, Sanchez raised his hand to ask for the ball on the right.
