When Martin O'Neal realized that his team was in great danger, his back was instantly wet with sweat.
The coolness coming from behind made him calm down a little.
The most important thing now is to stay calm and not to lose control. Don’t believe it easily even if it’s something you analyze yourself.
Think carefully before making a decision. Anyway, there are still more than twenty minutes until the end of the game, and more than fifty minutes until the penalty shootout, nearly an hour.
There is still enough time.
He fell into thought again.
Is my guess really correct?
Is Mourinho really planning to drag the game into a penalty shootout?
But for a giant like Real Madrid to disregard their image so much just to drag the game into a penalty shootout is really unbelievable...
Just listen to the boos from the Real Madrid fans in the stands. If Mourinho really does this, he will be going against all Real Madrid fans... Although Real Madrid fans like Mourinho, in the final analysis, what they like is beautiful football, and that is the tradition of Real Madrid.
Previously, it was because Real Madrid had been suppressed by Barcelona and could not win the championship. So they admire Mourinho for no other reason than that he can win championships for them.
And Mourinho did it.
But when he personally ended the Barcelona dynasty, he actually ended the honeymoon period between himself and Real Madrid - whether it was with the club's senior management, the fans, or the media.
Fans have more and higher demands on Mourinho. If he fails to do so, criticism will arise.
Those are the stories that the media is most interested in fanning the flames of.
Therefore, Martin O'Neill cannot imagine the consequences of Mourinho going against Real Madrid fans in this way. Unless he doesn't want to stay at Real Madrid anymore!
Secondly, with the temperament and character of Real Madrid's superstars. It is also questionable whether they can be willing to just do this and do nothing. Although Mourinho has absolute control over this team. But there are always exceptions. Just like the first half. Isn't it because Mourinho didn't control it?
So whether Mourinho really planned to push the game to a penalty shootout, Martin O'Neill could not confirm immediately.
He turned to look next door.
Mourinho sat on the coaching bench with a calm expression. As if this game has nothing to do with him.
Seeing him like this, Martin O'Neill became more and more suspicious.
If he wanted Liverpool to fall into his trap, shouldn't he be more anxious, as if he wanted to win the game in ninety minutes?
Doesn't he clearly tell everyone that "I have no hope of winning this game"?
With such an obvious flaw, could it be a double trap?
Martin O'Neill, who is naturally cautious, will inevitably think more.
In his opinion, there is still a possibility in this matter. It is Mourinho who wants to think that they want to drag the game into a penalty shootout. In this way, in order to prevent the game from sliding into a penalty shootout, he has to let the team attack and attack again. in this way. There will be a lot of space behind the defense. Just right for Real Madrid's defensive counterattack.
The more Martin O'Neill thought about it, the more he felt that this situation was the most likely. Because it is impossible for Real Madrid to accept victory in an ugly game, Mourinho also knows this very well.
Since this road doesn't work. Then there is only one possibility left!
Martin O'Neill had an idea in mind.
He firmly believed that Real Madrid had devised a carefully crafted trap using layers of deception. Tempt yourself to dive in headfirst.
Since this is the case, then there is absolutely no way that I will be fooled.
He walked to the sidelines and took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to convey the latest instructions to the team.
The team is required to be more patient and not easily drag in a large number of troops to attack no matter what the opponent does.

Mourinho sat on the coaching bench and watched Martin O'Neill walk to the sidelines. I watched him call captain Gerrard to whisper a few words, and then saw the adjustment of the entire Liverpool team.
Then a smile appeared on his face.
Someone who is too cautious. We often lose the best opportunities because we look forward and backward, fearing the wolf before and the tiger behind.
And opportunities are so precious, if you lose them once or twice, there may not be a third time.
The game is going the way Mourinho expected.
※※※
Both sides were determined to strengthen their defense, making the game even more unwatchable.
Television cameras even began to capture the expressions of the fans in the stands.
This is a very rare scene in the history of broadcasting the Champions League final!
In the TV footage, some fans even yawned.
In fact, if they could, the commentators would also like to yawn, but they can't, so they have to find some topics to entertain the TV viewers, otherwise the viewers will think that their TV speakers are broken.
The action on the field was nothing worth commenting on for a long time.
In this case, Platini was shot while lying down.
"This is really ironic. Before the start of the Champions League final yesterday, Platini was still being interviewed and said that today's Champions League has surpassed the World Cup and has become the world's number one football sport... As a model project, the Champions League final is naturally He promoted it vigorously. But look at this game... If this is the promotional material for the Champions League, then everyone will laugh at Platini's arrogance..."
The television broadcast cut to a close-up shot of Platini on the rostrum at the right time.
Platini's face really didn't look good.
He is now scolding Chen Yingxiong, Mourinho, Real Madrid and Liverpool in his heart.
This game was indeed a heavy blow to his ambitious plans to promote his Champions League. He originally planned to promote the Champions League as the most influential football competition in the world to help his campaign for the position of FIFA president-first create a powerful enemy for the World Cup, and then campaign on the slogan of helping the World Cup return to its former glory. President of FIFA. At the same time, the success of the Champions League will also prove his ability.
Who would have thought that just when he was launching this ambitious plan, he would encounter such a bizarre competition...
Liverpool and Real Madrid were originally duel before this game. UEFA officials also spared no effort to promote it. Especially the game where Liverpool defeated Barcelona 6-0 at home was regarded as a model. Gave Platini a lot of confidence.
Now he regrets that he would choose to believe in a team like Liverpool...
After this game. His Champions League promotion plan and himself will become a laughing stock!
There were so many laughingstocks before and after this game, which was really not easy.

The game time passed quickly as both sides consciously slowed down the pace. Soon it was the eighty-minute mark of the game.
Although Martin O'Neill believed that what Real Madrid showed before him was a trap in disguise.
But there is always a thought in my heart that wants to come out unwillingly.
This idea is - Real Madrid really wants to drag it into a penalty shootout! idiot!
As time went by, the voice of this thought in my mind became louder and louder.
By the eighty-minute mark, the sound in his mind was almost like the roar of Niagara Falls.
He could no longer ignore it.
And even he himself began to doubt his previous judgment.
If Mourinho's Real Madrid is really tempting themselves, then they are still unwilling to attack now, which means that they really have no intention of resolving the battle in 90 minutes or regular time.
Because few people think about resolving the battle in overtime. If the game is dragged into overtime, it will basically go to a penalty shootout.
In other words, as long as Real Madrid doesn't want to resolve the battle in ninety minutes, then it will definitely be a penalty shootout!
Figured this out. Martin O'Neill suddenly raised his head.
He felt he had been cheated.
Got fooled by that *** Mourinho!
The opponent really wants to take a penalty kick!
※※※
Martin O'Neal originally planned to rush out from the coaching bench and convey the latest instructions to the team.
But just as he raised his butt, he suddenly remembered something. Then put it down again.
He didn't want Mourinho to notice that he had seen it.
If Mourinho thinks the game is under his control, then let him continue to think so with this good intention.
All you have to do is keep calm.
First of all, there are still a few minutes left before the end of the ninety minutes of the game. If you let the team put all their strength into it. Too hasty and not enough time. They also have to bear the risk of being counterattacked by the opponent - although the opponent's arrangement is to decide the winner in a penalty shootout, if there is really a good opportunity to resolve the battle in regular time, they will have a great opportunity. They're not that stubborn either.
Can I provide them with such an opportunity?
You must know that Ronaldo, Benzema, Ozil and others are all good at seizing opportunities.
It would be foolish to let the team concede the goal at the last minute and hand over the championship because of your own impatience.
I have been stupid once and cannot be stupid again.
So after thinking it over carefully, he sat on the coach's bench again and crossed his legs, looking carefree.
He did this specifically for Mourinho to see. To make Mourinho believe that he has not yet awakened from his trap. Mourinho had plotted against him before, and now it was his turn to plot against Mourinho!
If it's a draw at ninety minutes, let's call it a draw.
Since no one would have thought of deciding the winner in overtime. Then become such a person yourself!
