Liverpool and Mourinho's Real Madrid are somewhat similar.

They all pay more attention to defense.

Paying attention to defense is Liverpool's tradition, and paying attention to defense is also the tradition of Mourinho.

Two teams that attach importance to defense meet together. If you expect to see a passionate confrontation, it must be a brain burn.

Liverpool have more offensives at their home courts, and they have to take the initiative, but they are also limited. Real Madrid simply put on a defensive counterattack posture.

Despite the fierce fighting before the game, it can be seen that both teams are very cautious in this game.

This makes many people a little disappointed-they spit at each other so fiercely before, they thought it would be a fierce battle.

In fact, this makes Martin O'Neill frown. He originally thought that Chen Yingxiong came forward to stimulate Real Madrid, and the stimulation was so fierce, Real Madrid will definitely try to attack in this game, then he can take advantage of the situation to fight back defensively, just like they played Juventus.

I don't think of Real Madrid's scolding and scolding, but when he is on the court, he is unmoved and still follows his own steps. This shows that they are not dazzled by anger, they remain calm and still know what they should do. They are not like Juventus. Because of Chen Yingxiong's provocation, the whole team was blown up, and even the head coach could not keep calm.

When Martin O'Neal frowned, he also had to admire Mourinho's ability to manage a team to this point, which can be said to be complete.

Admire to admire, which also means that this game will be more difficult to play.

Because both sides pay more attention to defense and are both cautious, the goal has not appeared for a long time. Both sides competed in the midfield. There are not many wonderful shooting and defensive scenes.

This makes it very boring for many neutral audiences who are interested in watching the showdown.

Especially those fans who are not in Europe, they have to endure the pain of jet lag, watching this game, but not seeing the usual scenes in their imagination, it is inevitable to be disappointed.

Both sides directly played a 0:0 in the first half!

This score made Martin O'Neal very dissatisfied, but Mourinho was very happy.

Away game. The result of 0:0 is acceptable to Mourinho, and it would be better if it were 3:3.

Draw against opponents on the road, return to home to slowly clean up them, this is Mourinho's strategy. That's why he is so conservative and cautious. He now has supreme power in Real Madrid, with the exception of club chairman Florentino. No one can criticize him, and even the Madrid media cannot criticize him, otherwise he will show the media.

When he first arrived at Real Madrid, if he dared to play so cautiously, he would be denounced by the media as tainting the glory and tradition of Real Madrid. Well now. Everyone is not talking about it anymore. Just cheer for Mourinho.

Therefore, Mourinho can do so boldly, in order to win, he will do whatever it takes.

"The first half of the game is over, neither side scored a goal, Liverpool was forced to a 0-0 draw by Real Madrid at home!"

"Mourinho's strategy should be to guarantee a draw on the road. He has already succeeded in half."

"This first half is not good news for Martin O'Neal. Not scoring is the biggest problem. Liverpool has the sharpest offensive combination in England. But Real Madrid's defense is not good, it seems that the halftime Time. Martin O’Neill will adjust to this..."

※※※

Back in the dressing room, the Liverpool players were a little frustrated. They originally wanted to break the deadlock in the first half and score goals.

Unexpectedly, they didn't score a goal, and now there are only forty-five minutes left for them, and they waste forty-five minutes!

Martin O'Neal also realized that there is no future in being so cautious. In any case, the situation is better than others. Even if he is worried, he must take the initiative to attack. If there is no loss, there is a tie in the end. The road trip is definitely not easy.

"Well, raise your head first, lads," he said to everyone.

"We were too conservative in the first half, and we have to be proactive in the second half. Now is not the time to think about whether we will lose the ball, we have to score first. In the second half, our full-backs should be bold when they press the assists, but the assists are completed After that, you must quickly return to defense."

O'Neal still cares about defense, can he not lose the ball without conceding it...

※※※

On the other side, Mourinho praised the performance of Real Madrid players.

His players did a good job and executed his tactical requirements very well, without letting Liverpool score a goal. This is what Mourinho has always cared about, no matter how many goals he scores, he is not as good as not conceding a goal.

Then he began to analyze for everyone what Liverpool will do in the second half and how Real Madrid will respond.

"Liverpool will definitely step up their attack in the second half because they didn't score a goal in the first half. If they didn't score the whole game, they would be dead. So in the second half they will attack aggressively. No matter how fierce the offensive is. , Don’t panic, find the right opportunity to fight their quick counterattack...but, but! Pay attention to this but!"

Mourinho suddenly raised his hand and reminded everyone with a serious face.

"However, if our defense is in danger, the pressure is great, and the opponent's offensive is too fast, it is possible to break our goal at any time. Then we must immediately give up the offense and concentrate on the defense! Remember, don't lose in this game. The ball is put in the first place!"

In addition to those fans, there are people who are watching this game. That is Messi in Barcelona.

Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Chen Yingxiong, they can all be counted as enemies of Messi.

Especially the latter.

Messi is now competing with Chen Yingxiong for the top scorer.

So he is particularly concerned about the number of goals Chen Yingxiong scored.

So much so that he even started to watch Chen Yingxiong's game.

In this game, Chen Yingxiong didn't score a goal in the first half, so he felt a little more at ease.

The gap between the two is now four goals-Chen Yingxiong scored fifteen goals and Messi scored eleven.

In the last Champions League match, Chen Yingxiong scored one goal and Messi scored two.

This time Chen Yingxiong has not scored a goal. It would be better if he didn't score the whole game.

The Barcelona game is tomorrow night, and Messi has hope to continue to chase the goal gap between him and Chen Yingxiong...

After the start of the second half of the game, it was indeed as Mourinho said, Liverpool wanted to score a goal, and they pressed on across the board.

For Real Madrid, this should be good news, isn't it?

Can't.

Real Madrid's defense immediately felt tremendous pressure. The Liverpool offensive combination headed by Chen Yingxiong has created a lot of trouble for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid players kept Mourinho's words in mind, seeing their backline teetering, so they didn't think about offense anymore, just concentrate on the defense, and they won the draw.

The scene in the second half was different from the first half. It was no longer the two sides fighting and entanglement near the midfield, but Liverpool all over the besieging Real Madrid's penalty area, and Real Madrid contracted defense and stayed behind closed doors.

Liverpool’s shots have increased, but because Real Madrid’s intensive defense is very good, Liverpool can only shoot from long distances, and there is a good goalkeeper Casillas, so don’t look at Liverpool’s offensive very fiercely, but it is Not score...

※※※

"That's why I hate defensive football-what a good-looking strong dialogue, but let the negative and conservative tactical thinking ruin it! Mourinho's team stopped two cars in front of the goal. Like a bus, it’s completely blocked. Liverpool can’t score no matter how they attack! But what's the point of a game like this? Play while pressing the other. Is this a game? This is a half-time offensive and defensive drill!"

The narrator scolded Mourinho's conservative tactics.

Mourinho's ears have been calloused to such criticism, and he will not go to his heart at all.

The narrator is angry, that's their business. Mourinho would not sacrifice himself in order to take care of the emotions of the narrators-he is not so noble and willing to sacrifice himself.

He also turned a deaf ear to the boos over the Anfield stadium.

He sits on the coach's bench with his legs crossed and has confidence in his team.

※※※

The game continued until 70 minutes later, and the score on the court was still 0:0.

Some Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game have already yawned, tears squeezed out of their eyes.

This game is so boring! Let them be disappointed!

What they wanted to see was the strong dialogue between Liverpool and Real Madrid. What they wanted to see was the master confrontation between Chen Yingxiong and Ronaldo, two of the world's top players. What they wanted to see was a hearty battle...

As a result, nothing was seen.

It seems that the focus campaign promoted by the media is not necessarily the best-looking... It was blown up before, but after watching the game, I realized that it was just... cheating!

Chen Yingxiong was closely guarded by Real Madrid. Wherever he appeared, there were a bunch of people. He didn't even think of any other actions. Real Madrid don't have to worry about everyone going to defend Chen Yingxiong, but they can't defend against other Liverpool players. Because Real Madrid is shrinking the defense, they all retracted, so their penalty area is full of people, there is always someone to take care of other Liverpool players.

Cristiano Ronaldo is limited by Real Madrid's tactics and lacks counterattacks, so naturally his performance opportunities are not many. Occasionally take the ball to attack Liverpool's defense, because of the lack of support from his teammates, he has not been able to pose any threat to Liverpool's goal.

Just when many people were sleepy and almost falling asleep, the situation on the court suddenly changed!
