Volume 1: When a Male Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 383: Patience! (Second Update with Guarantee)

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

But this is not the case.

Casillas's save did not boost Real Madrid's morale, it just temporarily calmed the frightened hearts of Real Madrid players.

Otherwise, everyone will die!

So at halftime, when they faced the angry scolding of head coach Mourinho, everyone bowed their heads honestly, not daring to refute or show any dissatisfaction.

They really almost ruined everything about the team.

The penalty shootout strategy was a decision made by Mourinho who risked everything on himself. He absolutely does not allow any mistakes.

When Real Madrid pressed forward aggressively and then asked Liverpool to counterattack, it really scared him.

Although Casillas saved him and the team in the end, it did not alleviate his anger when he came back to his senses - what if Casillas hadn't made this save? What if Casillas hadn't saved? The consequences are simply unimaginable!

That's why he was particularly angry.

I almost lost my life, but now you are still alive, you should thank God!

"Patience! Patience! Patience! In addition to patience, you still have to be patient! This is what I told you before the game, but how many of you still remember it? You have already forgotten it! Look at what you are doing above That poor performance at the end of the half! You guys almost ruined the show for me!"

Mourinho hurled foul language at his players.

"A little bit of booing in the stands scared you to this point? Are you rookies participating in a professional game for the first time? You don't know what kind of team Liverpool is! But you Why do we dare to attack so hard? Now, do you know the consequences of doing this? In the second half, just play defensive counterattack honestly! Don’t care about other people’s opinions! Remember, you are playing football for you. For ourselves, for the championship. For the honor! Not for the feelings of those onlookers! I guarantee that if you can't win the championship, it will be useless no matter how beautifully you play!"

"Only the 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 is still here and has not faded at all! This is the championship. Charming! So remember, you guys, don’t care about the boring boos from the fans in the second half. They don’t understand anything!”

The players were scolded bloody by Mourinho.

But they had to admit that Mourinho was right.

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

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

It is impossible to always place hope on Casillas's divine performance and illusory luck...

※※※

The goal in the last attack did not go in, which became the focus of Liverpool's talk during the halftime break.

However, contrary to Mourinho, Martin O'Neill did not loudly reprimand Chen Yingxiong for wasting the opportunity.

On the contrary, he was praising Chen Yingxiong, praising Pepe, and everyone involved in this offense and defense.

He knew that missing the goal would have a negative impact on the team's morale, so what he needed to do at this time was encouragement. And tell them to quickly forget about the ball.

In this way, the team will cheer up in a short period of time.

Praise is the best way.

"The initiative of the game is still in our hands. In the second half, we stayed calm. This opportunity is gone, and we always have another chance. Real Madrid, on the other hand, will definitely show flaws. They heard their own fans in the stands. Did they boo?"

Everyone laughed. The smile was exaggeratedly happy and unbridled.

Real Madrid players' concerns are justified, and they don't have to wait until after the game. Now they have become a laughing stock in football because of this incident.

"I think if they continue to be so unprogressive in the second half, the boos from Real Madrid fans will only get louder. I believe Real Madrid will not be able to withstand the pressure in the second half. They will definitely plan an attack. At that time, it will be the same as before. Same, we intercepted their ball again and launched a counterattack!"

Martin O'Neill's analysis makes sense, but if he knew that Mourinho was thinking about dragging the game into a penalty shootout from the beginning, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said that...

In the penalty shootout, he is no longer sure of victory. The chances are not even 50-50, but 40-60, with 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 conducted penalty kick training for less than half an hour.

※※※

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

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

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

And Liverpool will also use their true skills under the pressure of Real Madrid.

Anyway, it was a wonderful and beautiful offensive drama, just like the one or two minutes before the end of the first half.

However, these two teams, Real Madrid and Liverpool, once again disappointed everyone.

After the second half of the game started, there was no confrontation that everyone dreamed of, and there was not even a sign of a confrontation.

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

But he was stopped in front of the penalty area.

Then Liverpool pulled back very simply.

Real Madrid, who has the ball, is not very interested in attacking. There are not many people going up, and there are not many ways to do it.

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

The commentator was dissatisfied again: "The second half of the game between Liverpool and Real Madrid did not improve at all. They are still two teams that lack enterprising spirit. No one is willing to take the initiative to attack. Because this means giving up their back first. Killed the enemy..."

"UEFA should introduce regulations prohibiting passive play in the finals of various competitions! Any team that hesitates will be directly awarded a three-goal loss!"

"Mourinho and Martin O'Neill are simply a cancer in European football!"

※※※

It's not just the commentators who are back to complaining. Real Madrid fans in the stands were unhappy again.

Their boos returned to the stands at San Siro.

There were just scattered boos at first. Later, they became one and became larger and larger.

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

But this time. No matter how fierce the boos were, the Real Madrid players on the field remained unmoved.

It was as if they couldn't hear it and didn't respond. Not like the first half. Because I felt embarrassed, I realized my shame and then had the courage to rush forward and fight Liverpool.

They still followed the head coach's arrangements and dealt with Liverpool slowly.

If Liverpool didn't come up, they would be happy. Because it’s another minute to relax.

The television broadcast gave both coaches a close-up shot.

Amid the boos from the fans, Mourinho looked relaxed and content. And Martin O'Neill was also very calm.

For the current situation, both of them are happy to see the results.

※※※

Real Madrid did it even more thoroughly than Liverpool.

Their offense relies entirely on Cristiano Ronaldo fighting alone in front.

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

There is nothing to say about Ronaldo's personal ability, but his luck... is just average.

Liverpool's offense is relatively more organized. Gotze still plays a big role in the offense.

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

And Real Madrid has been moving more and more towards their goal, which is to not consider offense at all. Just think about defense.

Twenty minutes passed in the second half, and the score was still 0:0. Mourinho was too lazy to continue playing with Liverpool. Game time is getting shorter and shorter. At this time, you can’t lose the ball even more. Therefore, more emphasis is placed on defense.

Under such circumstances, their offense naturally poses no threat.

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

But soon he felt something was wrong.

Real Madrid didn't look like they were going to win the game at all!

No matter what, you have to score goals to win the game. How can you win without scoring?

But Real Madrid now seems to have given up attacking.

How could they possibly do this?

If they don't win, what will they do in the finals?

Even if we hold on to a 0:0, what's the point?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in O'Neill's mind.

Penalty kick!

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

And why did Mourinho deliberately drag the game into a penalty shootout?

Martin O'Neill quickly figured it out.

Because only in the penalty shootout, Real Madrid is qualified to have a fair dialogue with Liverpool. Otherwise, relying on the abnormal strength of Chen Yingxiong, Real Madrid will be in catastrophe if they are not careful.

In the penalty shootout, no matter how powerful Chen Yingxiong is, his number of goals can only be counted as one, and cannot be multiplied by two or three...

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

And penalty kicks involve a lot of luck, and if there is no careful preparation...

O'Neill shuddered at the thought.

Because he did not prepare carefully for the penalty shootout!

He only trained for thirty minutes the day before departure.

He believes that Chen Yingxiong and the strength of his team are enough to defeat Real Madrid in 90 minutes. Even if something unexpected happens, one hundred and twenty minutes is enough. I never thought there was such a thing as a penalty shootout!

Oh shit!

Martin O'Neal's back was instantly wet with sweat when he realized that his team was in a huge crisis.
