ball king training device

Although Mandzukic played very hard, he never doubted Mourinho's tactics. This is a question of the quality of a striker. No matter how good you are, you must always understand that you are the team As a member of the team, if you do what you should do, it is considered as a mission completed.

If you can't score a goal, it is not your responsibility alone, and if you score a goal, then your contribution will be great.

Mandzukic understands the importance of unity to a team better than anyone else, because his national team, Croatia, does not have a few stars who can be called by name, so he played very disunity. He was eliminated early in the World Cup and went home.

Although the experience in Bayern Munich was not pleasant, at least it taught him a truth, that is, to learn to integrate into the team. In that case, you can see opportunities to score.

So no matter how bad the game was, how bad the conditions were, he never forgot what Mourinho told him in the locker room. , he also wants to fight.

He wants the whole world to see that Mandzukic is not a coward. He didn't meet Lin Yu, or he couldn't even play the ball at the Bernabeu Stadium.

In the stands, Real Madrid fans shouted and cheered for their team, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with Mandzukic. He only had the ball and his teammates in his eyes, and he became more focused now.

On the contrary, the mood became more peaceful.

Perhaps this is the so-called opposite of extremes. In a noisy atmosphere, one understands the true meaning of calmness.

……

For Chelsea fans.Although the game was frightening to watch, they still had hope in their hearts.Because of the performance of the players on the field, they can see hope.

Defensively.Chelsea did a very good job. They didn't panic at all because of losing the ball, and they didn't lose their fighting spirit because of losing the ball. It can even be said that their current defense is better than that in the first half. None of them can penetrate this absolutely world-class line of defense.

In terms of offense, although Mandzukic only had one shot after the start of the second half, this shot shocked the Real Madrid fans into a cold sweat.Risky brushed the post and flew out of the bottom line, as long as it was a little bit off, Casillas would be helpless.

More importantly, the fans saw Mandzukic's hard work and saw the fighting spirit of the entire Chelsea. This is actually the most important point. As long as they have this kind of fighting spirit, as long as they have this kind of hard work, they are not afraid of failing the game. .

So what if the opponent is Real Madrid?

We are not afraid!

again.Mandzukic received a pass from Fabregas in the frontcourt, but this time he did not act arbitrarily, but returned the ball to Hazard who was plugging in, and Hazard made a through ball.Not only penetrated Real Madrid's defense, but also helped Mandzukic succeed in anti-offside.

Ramos started chasing desperately again, but this time he didn't seem to be able to catch up.Because no matter how slow Mandzukic is, he still has speed.He started early, and when Ramos turned around, he had already run four or five meters away.This gap, Ramos can't catch up in a short distance of ten meters.

"Single-knife—! It's single-knife again! Can you get in this time?"

"Mandzukic got inside the penalty area, kicked and shot -!"

"Oh! No—! He fell! Casillas threw him to the ground!"

"Red card! Penalty! What a dramatic change! About 10 minutes into the second half, Casillas threw Mandzukic to the ground in order to block Mandzukic's single-handed goal , The referee decisively showed a red card to send him off and awarded a penalty kick, there is nothing wrong with this penalty."

Seeing this scene, Zidane felt a little helpless. He had already warned the defense many times, to be on guard, to be on guard, Fabregas' pass was very difficult to deal with, plus a Hazard Er, be very careful.

But in the end, it still created such a good opportunity for the opponent.

He doesn't blame Casillas, because Casillas has tried his best on this ball, and he can't help it. If he doesn't hit, then basically the ball will be lost, and this time Mandzukic is also smarter. See When Casillas made a save, he deliberately leaned his body up, all he wanted was a red card and a penalty kick.

This skill was learned from Guardiola, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

It can be seen that the Chelsea players are very excited, but Mourinho on the sidelines has no expression on his face, and he cannot see what he is thinking at this time. Perhaps for him, before scoring a goal, no matter what point The ball or the red card, it doesn't matter.

"Next, Real Madrid will have one less player to fight. I don't know who Zidane will replace. The goalkeeper is sent off. The game must be suspended, otherwise there will be no way to play!"

"Ah! It was Isco who was substituted! With a midfielder removed, it will be more difficult for Real Madrid to attack now, but there is no way. One less person must be replaced. The defender must not be off the field. , otherwise it will be more troublesome, Modric and Pogba in the midfielder position cannot be played, and the front three cannot be played, so Isco can only be played."

Mignolet had to change into his jersey before he could warm up. Originally, Zidane said this season that he would play cup games and let Casillas concentrate on the league. However, he suffered from a bit of cold before the game. , The state is not very good, so Zidane let Casillas start with his consent.

But I didn't expect that he would have to play in the end, and he would have to face Chelsea's penalty as soon as he played, how much pressure he would have to bear.

Standing inside the goal, Mignolet began to exercise his muscles and bones, which is necessary, otherwise he will be in trouble if he gets injured later.

The referee was also very reasonable, and did not blow the whistle in a hurry, but gave Mignolet a little time.

Then, Chelsea's penalty was handed over to Mandzukic to take the penalty.

Chelsea does not have a penalty shooter in the strict sense, but generally the midfielder Oscar takes the penalty.Letting Mandzukic take the penalty this time can be regarded as giving him a chance to make meritorious service.

After all, Mourinho is a psychologist.Learned a lot from her wife.

Standing in front of the ball, Mandzukic took a deep breath.He doesn't care if the penalty kick has technical content. Anyway, this penalty kick was created by himself. As long as he can score it, it will be a tie with Lin Yu, and this is an away game. It has an advantage.

The referee's whistle finally blew, and Mandzukic jogged for a few steps and suddenly shot.

"Saved! Mignolet saved Mandzukic's penalty! He did it! The young man did it, amazing save!"

"Did you see it? This is Zidane's vision. When Real Madrid wanted to acquire Mignolet, some people said that he was not worthy of Real Madrid and this great giant. No, now that I see it, he is so amazing, he stood up at the critical moment!"

Mandzukic knelt on the ground holding his head in frustration.He punched hard on the turf.

"Damn it, another great opportunity wasted!"

"I think it's troublesome now. If you don't score a penalty, it will definitely affect the morale of the team. Even if it's eleven against ten, Chelsea may be even more troublesome."

The commentator was right. I thought Chelsea would play a better offense with one more player.But in fact, Real Madrid is missing one person.Instead, he kicked more and more fiercely, and Lin Yu's performance became more and more active.

"Lin Yu's long shot-! Wow. It was so dangerous, I almost went in!"

"Here it is again. Lin Yu and Royce cooperated in a small area at the front of the penalty area. The ball was passed into the penalty area. This time it was Royce who shot the goal. Cech narrowly saved the ball from the bottom line."

"Corner kick--! Lin Yu! It's Lin Yu again! It's incredible that he still grabbed this opportunity without using a header. His shot was clean and neat, but Cech saved it again Team, Petr Cech played very well today, no wonder Mourinho never let Courtois return to Chelsea."

……

At this moment, Chelsea, who obviously had one more player on the field, was demoralized because Mandzukic missed a penalty. They were beaten by Real Madrid with ten players, like a boat in the sea, dangling. Dangling, dangling, at any moment may be crushed by the rolled up waves.

Mourinho finally couldn't sit still anymore. He stood on the sidelines. The current situation is the most troublesome. He is not afraid of losing the ball, but he is most afraid of the team's morale dropping and fighting spirit being frustrated. This is the most troublesome thing.

His team has always been known for its iron and blood. If morale drops and fighting spirit suffers, the impact on the team's overall tactics will be huge and fatal.

In the absence of a goal, the team must not concede a second goal, otherwise, even if it returns to the Stamford Bridge, the game will become very difficult to play, but he can't think of it right now. If there is any good idea to deal with it, I can only encourage the players on the sidelines.

Although he was a little annoyed that Mandzukic wasted such a good scoring opportunity, this is not the time to blame the players, and he will not replace Mandzukic. For a player who works hard, if only because If he was replaced once he missed a penalty kick, it would be a huge blow to him, not to mention this game, it might become a psychological shadow for him in the future.

Even if the Champions League cannot be won, Chelsea still have the league and the FA Cup to play. As the team's main striker, Mandzukic must not go wrong. Once something goes wrong, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the team.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Mourinho called Mandzukic to the sidelines and comforted him: "Don't worry about the penalty. If you don't score, you won't score. We still have a chance. Don't forget, we have one more person now. If we still play so passively with one more person, it is not a technical problem, but a psychological problem. You need to adjust your mentality. Don't worry, I will not replace you It's the end, but you need to show a fighting spirit that satisfies me!"

I have to say that what Mourinho said was good, and it went directly to Mandzukic's heart. His fearful heart suddenly calmed down again. He shook his head and put The regret of missing a penalty just now came to mind, no matter what, there is one more person now, it really can't be like this.

His changes on the field also affected other Chelsea players, which made Chelsea, whose morale was low, suddenly excited again.

When the game progressed to No. 708 minutes of the game, Chelsea got a chance for a throw-in in the frontcourt.

It seems that this is not a very good opportunity. It is much less threatening than a corner kick, so Real Madrid's defensive players are a bit careless, and the players in the frontcourt did not come back in time to defend. There is still a long distance to the goal. How can it be so easy to score a goal?

But in fact, it was such an opportunity that didn't seem like a chance, but it led to Chelsea's equalizer goal.

Ivanovic started the grenade tactics.

He took a few steps back on the sidelines, ran up, and threw the ball hard.

The ball was thrown very far, and Mandzukic's header played a powerful role at this time. He rubbed back with his header, and it happened to be handed over to Hazard who was plugging in from the wing.

Hazard shoots and Mignolet makes another miraculous save.

It's a pity that Mandzukic succeeded in revenge with a follow-up shot! (to be continued..)
