Chapter 404 Substitution Adjustment
Strengthen the breakthrough? !Looking at Ronaldo on the field, Zhang Yuan shook his head secretly. Today, Ronaldo has turned into an extraordinary king. The defenders around him follow him like a shadow, and there is no good chance to catch the ball in the middle. He has played a full-fledged winger today.

But the other side is very ghostly, and they keep making small moves, which made Ronaldo furious. It is useless to pass him. The Mallorca players are so ghostly that they keep pestering Ronaldo. When Ronaldo passes the ball, they still use small moves to knock him down. , to prevent Ronaldo's movement, but the referee almost always judged it as a favorable offense.

This caused Ronaldo's dissatisfaction and Mourinho's dissatisfaction, but there is no way, sometimes the offense is interrupted like this, and the positional battle is very troublesome.

Zhang Yuan thinks for himself, he may be similar to Ronaldo on the field, maybe he can be a surprise soldier.

His idea coincides with Mourinho's. Di Maria is also a new aid. The tacit understanding between him and his teammates is not enough. His performance in the first half was mediocre, and his worth of 3600 million was not reflected at all.

Mourinho had the idea of ​​letting Zhang Yuan play in the second half to get used to it, make an impact, and be a surprise player.

At the end of the first half, the two sides fought 0:0. Real Madrid was not tempered by Mallorca. They completed 6 shots in the first half, but they only hit the goal twice. Both times were very reluctant and there was no substance threat.

In the locker room, Mourinho bluntly said that his players played too impatiently, and that patience is the most needed in positional warfare. When it comes to positional warfare, Mourinho actually only had a deep understanding of it at Inter Milan.

The situation encountered by Inter Milan in Serie A is the same as that of Real Madrid. There are also opponents everywhere, and the defensive system of each team in Serie A is more reasonable. This is compared to La Liga. After all, they are the theme of defense. A league where ideas reign supreme.

He didn't play like this in Chelsea and Porto before. The Portuguese Super League is more open than La Liga, and the Premier League advocates a fast pace. Whether it is a strong team or a weak team, it is a fast-paced attitude. Many weak teams are playing fast. The completeness of the defensive system is lost in the middle. Mourinho finds the opponent's mistakes in that fast pace, and quickly attacks and succeeds. Of course, he has a powerful center Drogba in positional battles, and he often gets twice the result with half the effort.

But there is no such powerful center in Real Madrid. Higuain is very capable of catching shots and his shooting skills are very accurate, but he is not strong enough. Heading is not his advantage. forget it.

Mourinho doesn't think of any feasible solution to the situation now. He doesn't think the cross can pose a threat to Mallorca, and now Zhang Yuan, he has no such plan. He hopes that Zhang Yuan will play around 60 minutes .

Give Di Maria a little more time, he doesn't want Di Maria to be abolished, this is the most direct reason, the original idea is that Di Maria will play as a right winger, and Zhang Yuan will go directly to the center, but he changed his mind during the summer training.

So when the tactics were arranged and the substitute players went to warm up, he directly pulled Zhang Yuan back. "You may have to play in the second half! Get ready!"

Zhang Yuan's heart fluttered, so it seems that he will soon usher in his debut in La Liga.

Ozil asked him if Mourinho wanted him to play, Zhang Yuan nodded, Ozil was a little envious.

He didn't know how Mourinho viewed him. From the beginning to the end, Mourinho never called him, nor did he talk to him alone. Mourinho.

Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You may also play in the second half!"

"Why?!" Ozil didn't understand.

"I can't open the situation. Apart from substituting, I really can't think of any other way!" Zhang Yuan spread his hands and said.

For the coach, the situation cannot be opened on the field. They have to adjust their tactics or replace them. Mourinho's tactics are unbeatable. Two forwards and two wingers. Except for Ronaldo's header, basically everyone else's header It's all average, you can't give up on the wing, without a center forward with an excellent header, in Mourinho's eyes, double forwards are meaningless.

The rest of the way is to make adjustments with substitutions. Ozil is not as optimistic as he thought. Granero and Pedro Leon are still sitting on the bench. These two can also play as midfielders. He has no idea about the position.

After a 15-minute intermission, the game continued. Laudrup made personnel adjustments and replaced Sergi with Cavinaghi. Cavinaghi is famous in Argentina and was once known as the Batty's successor, but the subsequent development trajectory was far below people's expectations. This season he came on loan from Bordeaux. This is his first time in the four major European leagues.

Kavinaji is 7 years younger than Sergi. He has more comprehensive skills and good shooting skills. Sergi and Zhang Yuan are the same age, but they are not equal in ability. They have speed, but they need more shooting skills. Much worse.

Laudrup replaced Cavinaghi in the hope that he could correctly grasp the few opportunities that Mallorca had. Although Sergi played a great role in the counterattack, his ability to grasp opportunities was not good.

Mourinho stood still, and Mallorca did not interrupt their defensive state because of the 15-minute intermission.

Their fouls were still very determined, and Laudrup obviously had a new arrangement in the second half. He told the team not to fix the defensive area at the front of the penalty area, but to move up as a whole.

The advantage of this is that it can make Real Madrid's attack line farther away from the goal, which seems to reduce Real Madrid's threat to the goal.

But the disadvantage of doing so is that Real Madrid seizes a chance to succeed in anti-offside, and Mallorca is absolutely uncomfortable.

Laudrup's choice was risky.

Of course, Mourinho also noticed the change of direction of this situation. After 15 minutes, he couldn't wait and made offside? !I will send another shooter, this shooter is fast and responsive, it depends on whether he can seize the opportunity.

He asked his assistant Mora to call Zhang Yuan and Ozil, who were warming up, to come back and prepare to play. The situation on the field is still unclear. Zhang Yuan and Ozil took off their substitutes on the seats. The vest organizes the jersey and sneakers and prepares to play.

Zhang Yuan buried his head and just smiled at Ozil, which means you see what I said is right.

Ozil also smiled, this smile represented happiness, and he finally ushered in his debut.

When the two walked to the sidelines, Mourinho stood near the center line and gave them face-to-face instructions. Ozil could neither understand English nor Spanish, so the translator became Zhang Yuan, which Mourinho did not allow. In translation, he is forcing the players to work hard to become familiar with Spanish, which will help them integrate into the team and dissolve in La Liga games.

Zhang Yuan and the others each hired a Spanish teacher to study by themselves.

Mourinho's order to Ozil is to use his creative passing. Compared with Ozil, Canales' passing is too standard and has no imagination. The less imaginative you are, the easier it is for others See through, and the overall situation is not as good as Ozil.

At this time, some creative passing is needed on the field, and routines are useless.

And Mourinho's instructions to Zhang Yuan were that he pointed to the opponent's defense line and said: "Just now their defense line has made Gonzalo offside twice! You have a heavy task after you play, and the ball is on your side , You have to strengthen your breakthrough and make good contact with nearby teammates, especially Mesut! The ball is not on your side, I don’t need you to step aside, you lean to the middle, pay attention to their back line, I hope you can Seize the chance of counter-offside! Understand?"

Zhang Yuan nodded to show that he understood his mission, and Mourinho explained it clearly enough to him.

In the 59th minute, Zhang Yuan and Ozil came on at the same time, replacing Di Maria and Canales.

Regardless of which game Real Madrid played, Ronaldo was the focus. To put it bluntly, the right side used to serve Ronaldo, but Zhang Yuan will not be like this today. This is Mourinho’s mean.

Laudrup saw Mourinho changing two people in a row. He knew that Mourinho couldn't wait any longer. He knew that the opponent was eager to win the game. The same, but he is not worried, he is confident that his defense can do a good job.
