[Football] Midfielder

Mourinho shook his fist. Although the goal came late, it was just in time.

When Malaga's morale is low, it is best to give Malaga a head-on blow.

And this is just the beginning, the best is yet to come!

Starting from Higuain's goal, the situation on the court seemed to be dominated by Real Madrid.

First of all, on the front line, every time the single-arrow Ruud van Nistelrooy cuts into the penalty area with the ball, he will be frantically tackled and volleyed by the Real Madrid defender!

Since Mourinho took office, there has been a significant change in Real Madrid, that is, the defensive actions of the defenders have increased.

Probably due to the experience in the Premier League, Magic Bird has set higher standards for defenders' defense, and their style of play is also more sturdy.In the high pressure situation, the defenders often blocked the opponent's shot by fouling.

At Inter Milan, Magic Bird's prestige and personal charm reached the extreme.

The players adore him wildly and regard him as their only mentor.His tactics and strategies, they will also have no doubts to implement.

But at the Bernabeu, Magic Bird has been questioned because of its unglamorous style of play and too aggressive defense.Opponent fans accused him of only defending, retreating to his own half after taking the lead, and not daring to fight head-on to the end.The defenders headed by Pepe have a dirty style of play, and taking cards is even more commonplace.

Another part of Mei Linger said: After the Magic Birds took over the Bernabeu, Real Madrid is not the top giants in noble white shirts in their memory.

Of course, even so, the magic bird is still favored by most Meilingers, at least for now.

Compared with the tepid engineer Pellegrini, the talented, extremely confident and tenacious Mourinho, who is even a bit ruthless and ascetic, is more in line with the aesthetics of the Meilingers.

But it is undeniable that the reputation of Real Madrid under Mourinho in the eyes of opponents and fans is not as good as before.

Apart from the problem of style of play, the conflicts in the locker room are also a major aspect.No fan likes to see the team they support fight infighting every day, and no fan likes to see their home team's general is sent off with a red card, or someone is kicked off the field.

Although such a situation is inevitable for any team, compared to last season, Malaga clearly felt that Real Madrid was different.

Their style of play is tougher and they are more obstructed in the penalty area.

Take Ruud van Nistelrooy as an example, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area several times, and was either shoveled to the ground mercilessly by the Real Madrid defender, or was pinched by two people, and lost the ball under his feet in an incredible way.

No.209 minutes, Van Nistelrooy once again tried to drive the ball into the Real Madrid penalty area. In the crowded penalty area, it is unknown who tripped him.The king of the small penalty area couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground.And in the chaos, someone who didn't know also fell down and hit him right on his body, with his elbow pressed against his left rib.

Fanny immediately covered his waist with a pained expression on his face.

Upon seeing this, the Malaga players all surrounded them.And Pellegrini and Fernandez outside the stadium also rushed in.

Pellegrini first visited Van Nistelrooy's situation. His feet and left rib were violated, but he said there was no problem and he could still play.

Fernandez told the referee that this was a vicious foul by Real Madrid and a penalty should be awarded.

It was defender Arbeloa who tripped Van Nistelrooy, and it was Pepe who fell on Van Nistelrooy.

Arbeloa raised his hand to say that he had acted too much, and he was willing to apologize.Pepe explained the reason for his position with Van Nistelrooy. He couldn't even stand up when he fell down. He didn't do it on purpose.

Mourinho believes that Ruud van Nistelrooy is suspected of diving, and he cannot make an unfair penalty against Real Madrid just because of the home court advantage.

The referee, Riggs, is a young coach who only started playing some First Division matches last year.

Mourinho has a strong aura, and although Riggs has a sullen face, he feels a little guilty.

In addition, Arbeloa and Pepe have a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, and their faces are innocent. Even the referee is not sure whether the two are telling the truth or lying.

After all, everything happened in an instant, and the referee and the line referees didn't see it very clearly.

Van Nistelrooy had already stood up, the situation should not be very serious, the referee gave Malaga a direct free kick under his discretion.

The basis is that when an opponent tackles an opponent in order to gain control of the ball, a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if it touches the opponent before it touches the ball.This is a lesser penalty for defensive fouls in the penalty area.

After the penalty was issued, the Malaga fans booed.

What are you doing!The foul in the penalty area is so bad in nature, it should be a penalty kick. Doesn't the referee have eyes, and the penalty is so light just because the opponent is Real Madrid?

What about home field advantage?This is the Rose Garden Stadium. Those who don't know think this is the Bernabéu.

However, there is one point that the fans are also aware of. After the opening, the referees tended to be soft in the two leg-stretching fouls of Real Madrid and Malaga, but the scale was fairly uniform, and there was no obvious side to favor.

But the referee's penalty is too light, and the order of the court can easily get out of control.

In such a situation, only a direct free kick is awarded, and it is unpredictable what kind of aggressive defensive actions the two sides will have next.

Let's not talk about Real Madrid's side, if they escaped, if they are lucky, if they think that the referee is easy to talk, then it will be troublesome.

Come to Malaga again, their teammates were played so badly by Real Madrid, and with the referee's fiery penalty, they will definitely follow suit.Anyway, the referee gave such a light penalty, you can do it, so can we!

The situation is turning in a bad direction.

Mouris realized it, as did Ramos and Kaka.

As for Casillas, seeing the Real Madrid game, his brows were tightly frowned.He believes that all this was caused by Mourinho. He always likes to play some tricks on the court. With Real Madrid's strength, they can win even if they play fair and square.

Dating back to the last game, Casillas accused Mourinho of playing too conservatively on the spot, and the root cause of the deepening rift between the Real Madrid captain and coach Mourinho was: watching this team Casillas, the captain of the team along the way, can't stand such an increasingly unfamiliar team.

He feels that Mourinho is manipulating them. He always likes to play with the players in his hands, so as to show the majesty of the coach and his leadership!

Ruud van Nistelrooy was the one who took the direct free kick, he was the one who made the free kick, and he is the team's main shooter, so it's no problem for him to take the free kick.

Murris, who has gradually become the team's first free throw shooter, is not conceited and thinks that only he should make free throws. This shot belongs to Ruud van Nistelrooy, and he has no objection.

Ruud van Nistelrooy moved his body and twisted his ankle before the penalty spot. Throughout the first half, he broke through several times but failed to send the ball into the Real Madrid gate guarded by Iker Casillas.

This is a good opportunity, he doesn't want to miss it again!

Kicking the goal, Ruud van Nistelrooy hit the goal cleanly and directly into the upper left corner of the goal.

Casillas has already jumped up, but the movement is a step slower, and he can only watch the ball slip through his fingertips.

"In the No.30 minute of the first half, Malaga tied Real Madrid with a direct free kick from Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the two sides 1:1."

"Shit!" Mourinho cursed.

It wasn't an unstoppable ball, but in fact, anyone could tell that Casillas was out of shape when Ruud van Nistelrooy kicked the ball.

Real Madrid finally took the lead at halftime, but because of this goal, everything came back to the original point.

"It can be seen that Mourinho outside the court is very anxious. The goal was not blocked, and San Cassie has a certain responsibility."

"That's right, Van Nistelrooy's usual ball is sharper than this one. The angle of this ball is not tricky, and Saint Cassie is famous for saving tricky balls. It's really a pity that he didn't stop it."

Parmensa and Homesey also commented in due course.

In the 33rd minute, Kaka volleyed from outside the penalty area. Caballero made a save but missed a shot from Real Madrid players. He calmly confiscated the ball.

Two minutes later, Jesús Gamez passed the ball, Murris raised his foot directly after receiving the ball, and knocked it to Cazorla on the wing.The smooth pass caught the gap in Real Madrid's defense. Cazorla looked at the right time and gave a low shot that went slightly wide.

In the 38th minute, Di Maria sent a cross from the right. Ronaldo pushed a shot between the two defenders near the small penalty area and almost scored. The dramatic thing was that Caballero, who made a hasty rescue due to a misjudgment, was tripped by himself in front of the goal. After falling down, he blocked the ball with his legs in a daze.

Mathison rushed out in time and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

Ronaldo was very depressed. He had several opportunities to hit the goal in the first half, but he always missed it for various reasons.

He began to think that he must not get along with the goalkeeper in Malaga, or else he had an enmity with the goalposts in Malaga.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to score anyway, and there were many opportunities to speak well.

In the 42nd minute, Isco's direct free kick from outside the top of the penalty area drew a wonderful arc. Casillas barely reacted, but the ball hit the post hard and popped out. Demichelis' supplementary shot hit Ramos. Overhead, Cazorla's supplementary shot from the left side of the penalty area was saved by Casillas!

This ball was thrilling and full of twists and turns. Unfortunately for Ramos, the ball hit him hard on the back of the head, which made his heart burst into flames.

Fortunately, Igor saved the ball in the end, and it seemed worth it.

Then Real Madrid launched a counterattack, and Higuain's shot from the right rib of the penalty area brushed the far post and went out of the bottom line.

There were only the last 3 minutes left in the first half, and Chena Murris, who looked around the audience and had done nothing in the last 10 minutes, began to launch the last wave of counterattack.

And the Christmas tree formation, which seemed to be a mess before, has been reorganized at some point. From the trunk to the branches, every part has been fully prepared, and they are all waiting for the final blow in the first half!

With the ball under his feet, Chena Murris moved his slightly stiff neck. It seemed that the moment he took the ball and was about to launch an offensive, his teammates who were not in the position before hurried back to their positions.

Even if they were surrounded by defenders who were watching them closely, they all appeared where they should appear, ready to fight.

The coaches of the first and second divisions who were also watching the game in the stands stood up straight when they saw this scene, with surprise in their eyes.

The level of a team is often not seen from the scoring data.What professional coaches like to watch most is the performance of a team in response to emergencies.There is also the proficiency in offensive and defensive transitions and formation changes, flexible formation changes and formation reorganization in the shortest time, which can help the team seize fleeting opportunities!

In addition to the goalkeeper Caballero, the ten players in Malaga completed the offensive and defensive conversion and formation reorganization in a very short period of time, and the efficiency is amazing.

Not to mention whether this wave of offense is effective or not, the team played such a posture, which is also very profitable.

While Real Madrid worked to break down Malaga's formation, they themselves could not be monolithic.

Perhaps it is because there are too many superstar players on the Real Madrid team, and each player is too individual, and they are unwilling to accommodate their teammates too much. In terms of certain ball handling, they are not as decisive and beautiful as the emerging team of Malaga.

Malaga knew that they were inferior to Real Madrid in terms of strength. Their only means of winning was to rely on their teammates on the court, twisting the strength of each teammate into a rope, and aiming at the Real Madrid gate guarded by Iker Casillas with all their strength!

At the same time, they believed in their teammates and in the passing of the ace.As long as each player is where he should be, it is possible to get a key pass from the ace at any time.

After Mourinho made such a speech, Pellegrini guessed that the weaknesses of Malaga's team may have been thoroughly studied by Mourinho.

He is not going to wait for the opponent to defeat Malaga one by one. He asks the players to give up unnecessary attacks and entanglements. Murris should also keep a low profile as much as possible, and only give the opponent a fatal blow when it is time to make a shot.

Let’s just talk about the midfielders of Marshal Demichelis and Tulalan. If the judgment is not wrong, they will be the focus of Mourinho’s attention.

Because these two people not only help the defenders defend, but also serve as Murris' right-hand man.Get rid of them, and Murris will be helpless.

In the first half, the general presence of these two people was very low, the ball was not at the feet of Murris, and they performed more of the task of assisting defense.This has delayed the advancement of Mourinho's plan to some extent, and the real big attack will have to wait until the second half.

But until then, Malaga want to take the initiative as much as possible.

In today's game, Malaga is generally considered lucky.Real Madrid, with full firepower, did not bring many goals to the team. Ronaldo was a little unlucky, he seemed to be on the fence with Malaga's goalkeeper and goalposts, and he couldn't score no matter how he kicked.

If he was lucky, Malaga would not be able to maintain the current situation.

Another point, Pellegrini hopes to be his own illusion.

When Malaga held back and did not act, Real Madrid also had two very calm.

One is Kaka. This World Player of Football always gives people a sense of ease and seeing through the opponent's intentions.He knows this game will be a constant battle of attrition, and he is also consciously conserving his energy when the ball is away from him.

And he never let go of his vigilance, his eyes always moved back and forth between Murris and Cazorla.

The other is Ramos. As Real Madrid's defense general, Ramos' defense in the first half is indeed nothing to praise.

When the others scrambled into a group, he also stood far away, free from the chaos.

His approach undoubtedly dissatisfied Mourinho.

Before the game, he had made it obvious.He regards this as Ramos' silent resistance to himself, and he hopes that the Real Madrid vice-captain can give a reasonable statement.He also believes that Sergio Ramos is not such an emotional person, because the opponent is his friend and he will show mercy.

What's more, he hasn't faced Murris yet.

"Here we come!" Seeing the Christmas tree in Málaga advancing towards Real Madrid's half with Murris at the center, Ramos knew that the last wave of competition in the first half had finally arrived.

I don't know if he knows Chena Mulis too well, Ramos just knows that many of Real Madrid's previous attacks were just feints, or bluffs.

He did not participate in the fight except for the necessary supplementary defense.He believed in his teammates and could stop them.

As long as the most feared striker in the Malaga team does not move, it is worth his attention.

He believed that Ricardo thought the same way.

And his task in this game is to intercept Murris.This was given to him by Mourinho, and he himself wanted to block Murris' goal and ensure that Real Madrid's goal was not lost.

"Chris, no matter how Murris passes the ball later, you just need to keep an eye on Murris." When Chris passed by him, Kaka whispered in his ear.

"Got it, I'll leave the rest to you."

Ronaldo lifted his jersey and wiped his sweat.Although he failed to score a few shots, he was very angry.But the court is not a place to be willful. Judging by Murris' posture, this time it is for real.After fighting for the entire first half, there was no reason for the opponent to take the lead.

In this game, it seemed that Real Madrid took the lead, but Malaga stayed behind.

Those who take the lead have a big chance of winning, but those who stay behind can turn the tide at critical moments.

The outcome is still unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen until the last second.

"Block them, defend, defend! —" Mourinho yelled at the Real Madrid defenders as he walked up and down the pitch.

When Ramos passed by, he yelled the word defensive again, intending to make a certain Real Madrid vice-captain realize what he should do.

Ramos nodded and walked away in silence.

He has always known what he should do. This is a game, and there is no such thing as showing mercy.The strength of little Murris does not require him to do this. What he cares about is whether he can make a beautiful interception.

He didn't want to hurt anyone, not just Maurice, but everyone in Malaga.

Murris took the ball slowly in the middle of the field, and didn't mean to play a fast break.That way, it's like walking on the court with a ball.Seeing this scene, the image of Mouris riding a bicycle leisurely under the sunset at the Bernabéu filled the minds of countless fans.

He hadn't made such a move for a long time, and his unparalleled confidence didn't make him more nervous even if the opponent was Real Madrid.

At least on the surface.

Ronaldo raised the corner of his mouth, "Murris, you're too arrogant~"

Murris watched a certain Mr. 9000 million staring at the ball under his feet like an eagle, still circling the ball with his left and right feet, and running forward slowly.

"Chris, it's better for you to play as a striker."

In terms of breakthrough and shooting, Chris is at the top level, his dribbling is gorgeous, and his ball protection is also very good.But defense, this Mr. 9000 million who likes to rush to the forefront and holds Real Madrid's biggest firepower, may not be so good at it.

At least, in front of him!

Murris paused, looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, and smiled.

"Chris, if I knock you down, don't call for a breakup because it's too embarrassing~"

"Hey!" Chris was upset, he is not such a stingy person!Moreover, shaking him down, this Murris is too shameless. "Aha—how come, I am..."

When Ronaldo realized it, he had fallen down uncontrollably.

And at that moment just now, Mulis' series of skills on sharp knives, which can only be seen clearly in slow motion, were once again displayed in front of everyone.

It was originally a slow left and right dribble, but suddenly it seemed to be juggling, back and forth between the feet at a dizzying speed.Keep going like this, the ball is also alternately kicked to both sides of Ronaldo, before he can react to his feet.

That series of seemingly provocative movements is simply jaw-dropping.The athletes' reaction nerves are already outstanding, and Ronaldo, as a leader in today's football, is even more excellent.The instinct of the body followed Muris's movements. From the perspective of the fans in front of the TV, Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction was amazing. Every time he kept up with Muris's movements, but every time he was a little bit behind.

When it was about the same time, Murris swooped down, with wind in his sleeves, and used the force of his body's inertia to bring Chris to the ground.And he never touched Ronaldo's body from beginning to end.

"It's amazing!" Fernandez, who was on the bench, opened his mouth wide when he saw this scene.The same goes for everyone else, because of Murris, the dribbling speed seems to be faster!

That's not the speed that normal people can give, it's too foul!In the past, Murris, on the basis of fast dribbling, paid attention to unparalleled skills, that is, skills on sharp knives.In a square inch, fantastic techniques can be displayed.

But now, this dreamy technology has been transformed into a sharper and simpler weapon.He can be fast or slow, he can be in a slump, or he can be vigorous!

Kaka naturally did not miss this scene, he had returned to the defense immediately, and existed as the last line of defense in front of Casillas.

He knew that Chris couldn't stop Murris alone, after all, it wasn't what he was best at.But Chris's reaction nerves and excellent ball feel were originally effective weapons against Murris.

But Murris didn't play his cards according to common sense. He didn't break through with Chrisby, and he didn't get too entangled with him. He just put him down——
