Hero of the Penalty Area

It seems that Casillas' save should have greatly boosted the morale of Real Madrid players. At least it can be seen from the performance of Real Madrid fans. Listen to the cheers from Real Madrid fans in the stands at that time.

But the actual situation is not the case.

This save by Casillas did not boost Real Madrid's morale, but only temporarily settled the frightened heart of the Real Madrid player.

Otherwise, everyone will die!

So during the intermission, when they faced the head coach Mourinho's anger, everyone honestly bowed their heads, did not dare to refute, nor did they dare to be unconvinced.

They really almost ruined everything about the team.

The penalty shoot-out strategy is Mourinho betting on all his decisions. He absolutely does not allow any mistakes.

When Real Madrid pushed heavily on the offense before, and then let Liverpool fight back, it really scared him.

Although Casillas saved him and the team in the end, it didn't alleviate his regained anger-what if there was no Casillas save? What if Casillas didn't pounce on it? The consequences are simply unimaginable!

That's why he was particularly angry.

Lao Tzu's life is almost gone, and now you all have it, you should thank God!

"Patience! Patience! Patience! In addition to patience, be patient! This is what I told you before the game, but how many people do you remember? You have forgotten all about it! Look at you! The poor performance at the end of halftime! You almost broke the **** trick for me!"

Mourinho exploded and scolded his players.

"A little boo in the stands scared you like this? Are you newbies who are playing professional games for the first time? What kind of team Liverpool is, you don't know! But you! Why did we dare to press up and attack? Now that’s good, do you know the result of doing this? In the second half, you will fight me defensively and counterattack honestly! Don’t worry about other people’s opinions! Remember that you play for you For ourselves, for the championship. For the honor! Not for the feelings of those bystanders! I guarantee that if you can’t win the championship, it’s no use playing beautifully!"

"Only a championship is eternal! Think about the ten Champions League trophies in the team's honor room, think about it, the earliest one was won in 1956. It's still here now, and it hasn't faded in the slightest! This is what the championship is. Charm! So you remember it to me, don't care about the boring boos of those fans in the second half. They don't understand anything!"

The players were scolded **** by Mourinho.

But they have to admit that Mourinho is right.

If it weren't for Casillas' brilliant performance, they would have fallen behind. After falling behind, the game will be more difficult to play.

They have seen the quality of Liverpool's counterattack once again from this offense and defense.

It is impossible to count on Casillas’ helpless performance and illusory luck every time...

The goal of the last attack was not scored, and it became the focus of Liverpool during the intermission.

However, contrary to Mourinho, Martin O'Neill did not loudly reprimand Chen Yingxiong who wasted his chance.

On the contrary, he praised Chen Yingxiong, praised Pepe, and praised everyone who participated in this offense and defense.

He knows that if the goal is not scored, the morale of the team will be affected, so all he needs to do at this time is to encourage. And let them quickly forget the ball.

This way the team will cheer up in a short time.

Compliment is the best method.

"The initiative of the game is still in our hands. In the second half, calm down, this opportunity is gone, we always have the next chance. It's Real Madrid. It will definitely show flaws. You heard the fans of their own in the stands. Did you boo?"

Everyone laughed. The smile was a little exaggerated, happy and unscrupulous.

The Real Madrid players' concerns are justified, and there is no need to wait until after the game. Now they have become the laughing stock of football because of this.

"I think if they continue to be so aggressive in the second half, Real Madrid fans will only boo louder. I believe Real Madrid will not be able to withstand this pressure in the second half. They will definitely plan an attack. At that time, just like before. Same, we intercepted their ball again and launched a counterattack!"

Martin O’Neal’s analysis makes sense, but if he knew that Mourinho was thinking about dragging the game into a penalty shoot-out from the beginning, I’m afraid he wouldn’t say so...

In a penalty shoot-out, he has no chance of winning. The chances are not even five or five, but four or six, Liverpool four and Real Madrid six. Because Liverpool did not prepare for penalty kicks at all. Just in the last training session the day before coming to Milan, I had a penalty kick that took less than half an hour.

The fifteen-minute intermission was fleeting. The second half of the game began.

Because of the crazy confrontational momentum at the end of the first half, everyone was looking forward to the second half.

They believe that the dull atmosphere between the two sides has been broken by a series of lightning-fast confrontations. Real Madrid will definitely strengthen the offensive in the second half and create more pressure on Liverpool.

And Liverpool will also use real skills under Real Madrid's pressure.

Anyway, it was a wonderful and good-looking confrontation drama, just like the one or two minutes before the end of the first half.

But Real Madrid and Liverpool disappointed everyone again.

After the start of the second half, there was no counterattack that everyone dreamed of, and there was even no sign of a counterattack.

Liverpool used the opportunity of kick-off to launch an attack on Real Madrid's goal.

But he was stopped in front of the restricted area.

Then Liverpool retracted very simply.

Real Madrid, who is holding the ball, are not interested in attacking either. There are not many people going up, so naturally there are not many ways.

A group of people looked at each other. What's the difference between this and the first half?

The commentator was dissatisfied again: "Liverpool and Real Madrid did not improve at all in the second half of the game. They are still two lacking enterprising teams, and no one is willing to take the initiative to press the attack. Because this means giving up their backs first. The enemy..."

"UEFA should introduce regulations prohibiting passive matches in the finals of various competitions! Any team that is not moving forward will be directly sentenced to three goals!"

"Mourinho and Martin O'Neal are simply the cancer of European football!"

※※※

It's not just the commentators who started complaining again. Real Madrid fans in the stands were also upset again.

Their boos reappeared in the stands of the San Siro Stadium in Meazza.

At first it was just sporadic boos. Later, it became a piece and grew bigger and bigger.

Of course, the help of the helpful Liverpool fans is certainly indispensable.

But this time. No matter how loud the boo is, the Real Madrid players on the field are not moved.

They seem to be unable to hear and have no response. It will not be like the first half. Feeling embarrassed, knowing the shame and courageous, rushed to fight Liverpool desperately.

They still dealt with Liverpool slowly in accordance with the deployment of the coach.

If Liverpool did not come up, they would be very happy. Because I can easily spend another minute.

The TV broadcast gave a close-up of the head coaches of both sides.

Mourinho had a relaxed and contented expression amidst the booing of the fans. Martin O'Neal is also very calm.

For the current situation, these two people are happy to see it happen.

Real Madrid is even more thorough than Liverpool.

Their offense is completely dependent on Cristiano Ronaldo alone in front.

Such an offensive effect is equivalent to Ronaldo's personal ability plus luck.

Ronaldo's personal abilities have nothing to say, this luck...it's pretty ordinary.

Liverpool's offensive is relatively more organized. Gotze's role in the offense is still very large.

In fact, this kind of Liverpool is a normal defensive counterattack.

And Real Madrid has become more and more towards their goal, which is to completely ignore offense. Only consider defense.

Twenty minutes passed in the second half, and the score was still 0:0. Mourinho didn't bother to continue playing with Liverpool. The game time is getting less and less. At this time, you can't lose the ball even more. So the emphasis on defense is even more important.

Under such circumstances, their offense is naturally not a threat.

At first, Martin O'Neill thought that Real Madrid's performance was pretty good. This means that your back line is safe.

But soon he felt that something was wrong.

Real Madrid's performance didn't look like it was going to win the game at all!

In any case, to win the game is to rely on goals. How can you win without scoring?

But Real Madrid is now giving up the attack.

How could they do this?

What do they do in the final if they don't win?

What's the point of holding a 0:0?

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through O'Neill's mind.

Penalty!

The meaning of holding a 0:0 is to drag the game into a penalty shootout!

And why is Mourinho deliberately trying to drag the game into a penalty shoot-out?

Martin O'Neill quickly figured out.

Because only in the penalty shoot-out, Real Madrid have the qualifications to have a fair dialogue with Liverpool. Otherwise, relying on Chen Yingxiong's perverted strength, Real Madrid will be overwhelmed by any carelessness.

In the penalty shoot-out, no matter how powerful Chen Yingxiong is, his goal count is only one, and he cannot be multiplied by two, or multiplied by three...

In this way, it depends on the performance of other players.

And penalty kicks are a lot of luck, plus if you don’t prepare carefully...

O'Neill shuddered at the thought.

Because he did not carefully prepare for the penalty shootout!

He only had 30 minutes of training the day before departure.

He believes that with Chen Yingxiong and his team's strength, it is enough to solve Real Madrid in ninety minutes. Even if something happens, one hundred and twenty minutes is enough. I never thought that there would be a penalty kick!

Oh shit!

Martin O'Neal, who realized that his team was in a huge crisis, was instantly wet with sweat.
