Champion’s Heart

? ♂,

When everyone thought that the first half would end with a score of 1:1, no one expected that Zhou Yi's sudden cold shot in front of the goal resulted in a goal.

When the goal happened, the Santiago Bernabeu was silent for about a second, and then there were harsh boos.

But no one knows whether this boo is for Dortmund, or for Real Madrid, for Zhou Yi who shot, or for Arbeloa who blocked the football into the goal...

Anyway, familiar boos rang out from the Bernabeu Stadium again.

Amid boos, Zhou Yi and his Dortmund teammates embraced and celebrated the goal. And they celebrated extraordinarily wildly, because the goal came so suddenly, and they felt as happy as being hit by a pie while walking on the street.

The first half ended immediately with their attention.

After blowing the whistle for Zhou Yi's goal, referee Cakir blew the whistle to end the first half.

The boos at the Bernabeu got louder.

This time it seemed certain that their boos were directed at the referee Cakir. I think the referee didn't give Real Madrid more time. If Real Madrid could equalize the score and end the first half, it would be a perfect referee.

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

Dortmund's players celebrated as they walked off the pitch.

The first half score was shown on the screen, with Dortmund leading Real Madrid 2:1 away from home. Above the score there is the goal scorer. It's just that Zhou Yi's goal was not scored by Zhou Yi, but Arbeloa's own goal.

The broadcast agency seems to have attributed this goal to Arbeloa. It's a pity that Zhou Yi and the Champions League goal just missed...

He Ping felt sorry for Zhou Yi. This goal would have been better if Zhou Yi had scored it.

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

Defeat Real Madrid at home,

Dortmund's victory will also feel like the influence of some mysterious force. But being able to lead Real Madrid in the away game means that those who are picky about it can't find anything wrong with it.

Zhou Yi's last-minute goal must have disrupted Mourinho's plan. It's a pity that he left the field early and didn't see the goal. But he will definitely hear the boos at the Bernabeu, and he will definitely guess it. Come on, this is a goal conceded by his team! I wonder if the goal conceded by Real Madrid has anything to do with Mourinho’s early departure?” As a German commentator, Marcel Leif teased his opponent to his heart’s content. .

Mourinho did not see the ball conceded, but he heard the deafening boos from outside in the tunnel, and he realized something was wrong.

But he didn't rush out to see what was going on. He just paused for a moment before speeding towards the locker room.

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

This goal loss really made him feel a little upset. It was originally a draw, and he was already thinking about how to break the deadlock in the second half and hold on to the victory. As a result, he was now one goal behind, and all his previous plans were useless. He had to rethink how to equalize the score as early as possible in the second half and then take the lead...

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

Seeing that the first half was about to end, but conceding the ball was a huge blow to the morale of the players.

In football matches, players’ mentality and morale are often an important factor in determining the outcome of the match.

He not only has to arrange tactics, but also to cheer up the players. It may be useless to just lose his temper and curse.

There were so many things. He gritted his teeth secretly when he thought about losing the ball. This goal was thrown in at the wrong time!

※※※

Mourinho's concerns and worries are reasonable. From the moment the ball was lost to the end of the field, Real Madrid's players were not in a high mood. Some of them even had confused expressions on their faces. They couldn't believe that the team was in the first half. Lost the ball in the last ten seconds of the game...

The blow to them from conceding the ball at the last moment is evident.

Coupled with the boos at the Bernabeu Stadium, I don't know if they were directed at them, but they fell on their ears, which was very harsh and further affected their emotions.

After halftime, Mourinho made his adjustments.

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

Mourinho replaced two people in one breath, playing all the cards in his hand until there was only one card left. This shows how far Zhou Yi's shot before the end of the first half pushed him.

Higuain was replaced and replaced by Callejon, a young genius trained by Real Madrid. Mourinho hoped to use Callejon's momentum to attack Dortmund's defense and create a little chaos for Dortmund.

In addition, he replaced Modric with Essien.

When you need to attack, you replace an organizational midfielder with an engineer. Doesn't this adjustment seem strange and unreasonable?

But it's not. In this game, Real Madrid, which is confident of winning Dortmund at home, sent four starting midfielders: Xabi Alonso, Modric, Di Maria and Ozil. All four of these people are more focused on offense and have weak defensive abilities. Only Xabi Alonso may be able to defend a little bit, but he is not a full-time defender.

What situation does this create?

When Dortmund counterattacked, Real Madrid lacked effective interception methods in the midfield. The four midfielders were not good at defending 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 offensive intensity, there will be more space behind them, which will inevitably lead to Dortmund's counterattack. At this time, if the midfielder does not have the interception force, it will simply provide an indirect assist to Dortmund.

So replace Essien and let Essien defend in the midfield, so that others can confidently and boldly attack and put pressure on Dortmund.

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

※※※

After replacing Essien and Callejon, Real Madrid's offense did become more threatening in the second half, because the offensive players could participate more fully in the offense, and Mourinho's halftime adjustments did indeed make a difference. It has a certain effect.

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

In the 57th and 65th minutes, Grosskreutz and Hummels fouled in defense and received a yellow card.

After feeling the tremendous pressure from Real Madrid, Klopp also made substitution adjustments. He replaced Reus with midfielder Sven Bender.

This is obviously to strengthen the defensive posture.

But contrary to expectations, not long after he made the 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. Everyone jumped up from their seats, raised their arms and shouted.

Amid their cheers, Real Madrid players swarmed over Ozil, hugging him at the corner flag and pumping their fists and arms into the stands, while Real Madrid fans responded with even louder cheers.

At this time, the Bernabeu finally showed its terrifying power as the home ground of Real Madrid!

Marcel Leif immediately comforted the players after losing the ball. In fact, he was also trying to relieve the pressure of the Dortmund fans in front of the TV: We lost the ball. This is something we don't want to see. But it doesn't matter, a draw is too. A result that Dortmund can accept. We should be more patient than Real Madrid now!

Real Madrid's offensive firepower is still quite fierce. In their own home court, Dortmund did not hold back after they fired up without any scruples. He Ping felt sorry for Dortmund's failure to maintain the victory, but he also quickly replaced Dortmund argued. But fortunately, Dortmund has defeated Real Madrid at home, so as long as they don't lose to Real Madrid in this game, they will have an advantage in the outcome. Now for Dortmund, they still have the upper hand. As long as they don't lose to Real Madrid. If we can hold on, there is nothing unacceptable about this result...

The fans also understand it very well. Indeed, the result of the draw with Real Madrid in the away game is already very good, what else do you want?

Dortmund can completely accept this draw.

Real Madrid cannot.

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

Only by winning against Dortmund can they have a chance to compete with Dortmund for first place in the group in the future. If they tie, they may have to look at other people's faces as to whether they can become first in the group.

So the Real Madrid gang had just finished their goal celebrations when Mourinho played his last card.

He replaced Arbeloa with Kaka.

Replacing an attacking midfielder and a full-back, it was obvious what Mourinho meant. Continue to strengthen the attack and must score another goal in the remaining ten minutes to win Dortmund!

It is conceivable that Dortmund will bear greater defensive pressure in these ten minutes than before. This is definitely a severe test for their defense! (To be continued.)
