Chapter 711 Opening champagne at halftime?

Real Madrid quickly equalized the score, which had little to do with Ancelotti's adjustments.

Because the old coach made no practical adjustments at all when he fell behind.

The goal was achieved entirely by the veterans' understanding of the game and Rossi's personal ability.

After equalizing the score, how will Real Madrid's defense face Inter Milan's passing organization?

Without pushing forward, the number of midfielders is small and the organization is limited.

The push came out, the defense line was too far forward, and I was worried about being hit from behind.

Everything has to wait for Ancelotti's instructions.

But Ancelotti seemed confident in his pre-match tactics and did not make any adjustments.

Chuameni's defensive coverage is large and the confrontation is strong. He is responsible for cutting off the connection between Inter Milan's midfield and frontcourt.

This is why he was chosen as the starting midfielder instead of Kroos as the holding midfielder.

The technical midfielder is somewhat lacking in hardness when facing Serie A teams.

With ground coordination blocked, Inter Milan could only make a fuss from high points and long passes.

Real Madrid does not have a central defender who can completely limit Dzeko in terms of height, and the dominant attribute is reflected at this moment.

In the 28th minute, Inter Milan launched a high-altitude operation, and Dzeko returned the ball to the penalty area.

Lautaro followed up and volleyed directly, and the ball shot towards the upper corner of the goal.

Courtois flew towards the direction of the ball and reached for it with his backhand.

Lautaro's shot was powerful, and the ball had a slight arc, bypassing Courtois's palm.

Just as the Inter Milan fans behind the goal stood up to celebrate, the ball hit the crossbar firmly.

when!
The ball bounced into the air and flew out of the baseline.

Hey!
The cheers that were about to erupt from the fans turned into a huge sigh.

During this period, the rhythm of the game began to slowly tilt towards Inter Milan.

Real Madrid obviously had no way to deal with it, and the pressure on the midfield and backcourt doubled.

In order to ensure the counterattack in the frontcourt, Rossi appeared in the center position and Benzema retreated to defend.

In the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, ​​Rossi took the ball from the back and ran all the way and scored.

Anyone who sees this speed and dribbling must be wary.

It was Messi who slipped away.

Wanting to break Inter Milan's pressure, Ancelotti dared the midfielder to push out to grab the ball, even committing fouls to prevent the opponent's smooth passing.

Modric and Kroos were forced to use civil servants and military officials.

In the 29th and 32nd minutes, Modric and Kroos received yellow cards while defending. This is not good news for Real Madrid's next game.

The situation of the game did not improve, and Ancelotti scratched his head anxiously.

In the 40th minute, after enduring nearly 30 minutes of crazy pressure from their opponents, Real Madrid began to take the initiative.

The key lies in the old players.

Inter Milan's five midfielders frantically suppressed Real Madrid's three midfielders for nearly 30 minutes, but still failed to score a goal, and their momentum and physical fitness continued to weaken.

At this time, Real Madrid veterans smelled something different and immediately made changes.

The first is Kroos, who drops back to the left-back position and is responsible for distributing and transferring the ball.

With the protection of Camavinga in front of him, Vinicius not only participates in defense when he retreats, but also has a contact point in the backcourt, and has the opportunity to counterattack at any time, threatening the opponent's goal.

Then, Modric, as the core of the midfield, is more balancing the offensive and defensive ends.

In addition, Chuameni has been checking for deficiencies and filling them up, very much like Casemiro.

The long-lost "ceremonial midfield" for fans once again helped Real Madrid gain possession of the ball in the midfield.

In the 41st minute, Inter Milan organized an attack on the right rib, and Varela dribbled the ball in an attempt to disrupt Real Madrid's defense.

Cross chased from the left with strode, and after seeing Chuameni stepping forward to intercept, he quickly came to the right.

Barrera wanted to change direction and shake Chuameni away, but did not notice that Cross had come to his side.

When he changed direction and shook away the defense, the ball was also stolen from his feet by Cross.

This is the veteran experience.

After Chuameni got the ball, he did not take the initiative to push the ball forward. Instead, he distributed the ball to Modric first and then moved forward to respond.

Modric stopped the ball to observe, first passed the ball to Chuameni, then lowered his arms and pointed in front of himself.

His teammates understood the situation and returned the ball directly to Modric without stopping the ball.

The organization of the midfield is left to Modric.

When he got the ball, the two players who originally flanked Chuameni immediately rushed towards Modric.

The Croatian midfielder took his time and passed the ball between the two of them to Chuameni again.

This time, Chuameni did not return to Modric because two Inter Milan players had blocked this safety line.

Therefore, Chuameni chose to give the ball to "Safety Master" Kroos.

Cross stopped the ball, took a look, and then returned to Chuameni.

And Chuameni knew that there was a defensive player behind him, and he kept knocking the ball across to Modric who was on the side.

The three of them seemed to be conducting safe ball transmission without any purpose, but in fact, they had unknowingly advanced the offense past half-court.

Moreover, the Inter Milan players who were originally marking Chuameni were easily able to break through the defense with passes from the three of them.

In other words, Real Madrid's three midfielders used the method of "turning bones into palms" to complete a successful 3v3 breakthrough in the middle.

When the ball returned to Modric's feet again, Inter Milan's defense on the left side was virtually undefendable.

Magic Flute immediately accelerated with striding strides and appeared outside the penalty area without any hindrance.

Real Madrid formed a numerical advantage on the right.

At this time, Carvajal moved up the wing and took away a defensive player's position.After Modric passed the ball to Rossi in the middle, he inserted the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

Inter Milan's defense quickly recovered, leaving Carvajal on the wing unmarked.

Rossi passes the ball diagonally to the wing, and Carvajal can observe and pass the ball calmly.

When the wing is open, the defensive side focuses more on the opponent's offensive players.

Benzema came to the penalty area and took a step forward. After making the intention to grab the point, he forced the defender to retreat and intercept the passing route.

Subsequently, Benzema suddenly retreated, received Carvajal's cross, and shot easily without being marked.

Facing such a close shot, Onana's save seemed so awkward and weak.

The ball whizzed past his ear and into the net.

Score a goal, so easy.

[GAOL! ! ! ! ! 】

[Real Madrid scored a goal! 】

[2:1! 】

[This is a wonderful teamwork! 】

[Real Madrid patiently passed and sorted out the ball in the backcourt! 】

[Pushing the ball across half court and then suddenly speeding up! 】

[Caught Inter Milan by surprise! 】

[The key to this is that the organization of Real Madrid’s midfield is coming back to life! 】

As the commentator said, after Real Madrid took stock in the midfield, they completely controlled the rhythm of the game in the remaining 5 minutes, forcing Inter Milan to shrink their formation and adopt a conservative defensive strategy.

The score of 2:1 was maintained until the halftime break.

Back in the locker room, Real Madrid assistant coach Davide high-fived the players to boost morale.

If this situation continues, Real Madrid will continue to expand its lead in the second half and take another step closer to the glory of the Triple Crown.

But Ancelotti didn't think so. After a brief exchange with Pintus, he picked up the tactical board with a serious expression.

The players were still immersed in the excitement of taking the lead, and no one paid attention to the coach's expression.

Except, Rossi.

Real Madrid took the lead in the first half. Rossi opened the scoring for the team and participated in a goal. His performance was still strong.

But he always felt that the game felt wrong and a bit awkward.

He could see some clues about these awkwardness from Modric's rapid breathing and Cross's somewhat messy hairstyle.

The two played important roles in the first half, but similarly, their physical energy consumption was also very serious.

Although the purpose of the two players is to consume their opponents, Rossi always feels that it is his side that is being consumed.

"Federico, Dani, go warm up in the second half."

Valverde and Ceballos nodded expectantly.

When this signal came out, Rossi basically confirmed his guess.

Modric and Kroos will be replaced in the second half.

But this is a passive adjustment.

After laying out his tactics for the second half, Ancelotti seemed hesitant to speak.

After thinking about it over and over again, he went to the place where he kept his personal belongings and got a bottle of champagne.

When the Real Madrid players saw this, they all showed incredible expressions.

Is this going to open champagne at halftime?

This is a taboo in football. Have you forgotten the night in Istanbul in 05?

"By the way, that's the expression!"

Ancelotti held the champagne in both hands and said happily: "This is the gift Luo gave me yesterday, a nice bottle of Kuch Romani Diamond Champagne."

"I know what Luo means. He is worried that it will affect me."

"Actually, the outside world has always said that in 05, we opened champagne to celebrate the victory during halftime. This is completely false."

Although Real Madrid players have survived many reports about this incident, speaking from the mouth of Ancelotti, who has personally experienced it, it is a completely different concept.

"When this report came out, everyone's reaction was exactly the same as when you saw me bringing out the champagne just now."

"Incredible, incomprehensible."

"In AC Milan, we have many excellent professional players like Nesta, Maldini, Shevchenko and so on."

"Do you think they would all celebrate like that after 45 minutes without any reason?"

"It was the opposite, they were all talking about how we should do better, even though we were 3-0 up against Liverpool in the first half."

"Anything can happen in football and no matter what happens, we will never celebrate at half-time."

"That's just ridiculous and stupid."

"So, I brought this bottle of champagne here."

"Stay until the end of the game."

"When the time comes, I will use it to celebrate our first Triple Crown in team history!"

An Pang's passionate speech made the Real Madrid players' blood boil.

He smiled and nodded towards Rossi.

After this speech, An Pang completely let go.

Just as the Real Madrid players loudly shouted celebrations such as "It's over and open the champagne", the staff outside the locker room immediately spread the news.

Real Madrid, at halftime, popped open the champagne to celebrate their treble.
