Chapter 490: Powerful Outburst after Silence

The game at the Bernabeu Stadium was still going on, and the score on the field remained unchanged, with neither team scoring a goal. At the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid's offense had not yet been effective, and Chelsea's defense was also very painful.

This is the first time this season that Chelsea has fallen into such a passive position.

In the current Premier League, Manchester United's rising star Cristiano Ronaldo has performed very strongly, but Manchester United's gradually aging lineup has made it impossible for Cristiano's strength to change the team's fate. They are still no match for Chelsea, which has a shining star team. And Chelsea's other rival Arsenal is in a slump. They have been worrying about the construction of a new stadium, and the club's transfer funds are almost zero. Under such circumstances, Arsenal's results can be imagined. Although not very bad, they still cannot be compared with Chelsea.

Under such league situation, although Chelsea's performance this season is not as good as last season, it is also smooth sailing.

The same was true in the Champions League. Although the round of 16 was a bit difficult, they still passed it smoothly with their strength, and now they face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

No one was optimistic about Chelsea from the beginning. In the strength analysis, Real Madrid has many big-name stars, and Chelsea's super shooter last season has come to Real Madrid. The two teams are equally strong, but obviously the fans are more optimistic about Real Madrid with Wang Li. In the minds of neutral fans, no one likes Mourinho's defensive team. Artistic football and offensive football are always popular, so no fan hopes that Real Madrid will win in the end.

Now, the game has been going on for more than twenty minutes. During this period, from the perspective of the Chelsea players on the field, it was indeed very difficult.

They defended the black-haired boy and he didn't have any good performance, which was a good thing, but Real Madrid's other offensive players were also very strong, and the ones who gave them the most headaches were the two young players of Real Madrid - Baptista and Robinho.

In this game, the offensive line led by these two young players posed a huge threat to Chelsea's backcourt. If it weren't for the good performance of goalkeeper Thomas Clarke, the score would have been rewritten by now.

At this time, Mourinho was very proud that he kept Thomas instead of Cech. Cech's strength is very good, but his performance is only stable. When it comes to high-level goalkeeper ability, Thomas is better.

Comparing the two, Cech is the kind of black-collar worker on the court. He has always been diligent and in good shape, but he can never become a superstar because he does not have that kind of flash of inspiration on the court, nor does he have a superior reaction speed.

Thomas can be scary at times, but when he shines, everyone has to applaud him.

However, although Real Madrid did not score, Chelsea's defense has been in danger. Fortunately, it is Chelsea on the field now, a team led by defensive master Mourinho. Otherwise, ordinary teams would have surrendered long ago under the pressure of Real Madrid.

Another Real Madrid attack.

In the midfield, captain Pavon passed the ball to Baptista on the wing. Baptista showed his excellent dribbling ability in this game. In Real Madrid's previous games, in order to have a stable performance and occupy a main position, he seldom used his talent in this aspect because he was afraid of making mistakes. If the opponent found an opportunity because of him, he would most likely be shelved for a period of time.

After all, football is a sport for 11 people, and Baptista knows very well that the most important thing for him is to fight for the main position.

However, he felt in good shape in this game. Several successful dribbles in the past gave him a lot of confidence, so this time he still chose to break through from the wing.

This is not the first time, Chelsea players certainly know how to defend.

William Gallas ran over on the wing. In this game, Gallas almost became a fire-fighting member. He kept switching between the wing and the center to stabilize Chelsea's defense. However, despite his efforts, he was still dazzled by Baptista. This may be due to his lack of adaptation to the technical style of Brazilian players, or his relatively weak defensive ability.

In short, he was fooled.

If Baptista was allowed to cross the ball calmly, it might pose a threat to Chelsea's goal. Therefore, Gallas decisively wanted to pull the player to commit a foul, but just when he pulled Baptista's jersey, the latter had already passed the ball, and the football flew into the penalty area along the grass.

There is Raul who is unguarded, Chelsea missed a man!!!

"Oh my God!! Opportunity, Raul!" the commentator shouted.

It was indeed a good opportunity. Baptista's pass was very accurate. The ball rolled past the sides of two Chelsea defenders to an empty area in the penalty area, where only Raul was. This opportunity was almost equivalent to a one-on-one shot, and it was a one-on-one shot before the goalkeeper could react.

The moment he saw this scene, head coach Carlo stood up directly from the coaching seat. He stared at the Chelsea penalty area with wide eyes, surprise already filling the corners of his mouth. On the other side, Mourinho was calm, but his slightly frowned brows still revealed that he was quite uneasy in his heart.

This ball is so threatening!!

Raul Gonzalez is the number seven of Real Madrid. This number undoubtedly represents some meanings. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important jersey number of the team. In the 12 seasons he played for Real Madrid, Raul was dubbed the "Golden Boy" by Madrid fans, then became the symbol of "Real Madrid Legendary No. 7", and then the reputation of "Lord of the Rings". At the Bernabeu Stadium, Raul has dominated the limelight.

Raul is indeed very strong. In recent years, he has scored a total of 245 goals for the club in the league and Champions League, which is a shocking number. This season, the reason why Raul is not reused is mainly due to injuries. He spent half of his time recuperating.

Now, when Real Madrid fans saw Raul find the opportunity, for a moment, they even shouted to celebrate the goal. They had reason to believe that the 'Lord of the Rings' of the Bernabeu would score a goal.

But the next moment, Raul's shot missed the goal post, and the deviation was not a little bit. Some people believed that the ball was kicked away on purpose.

"Raul, it's okay, there will be another chance next time." Before the game started, Beckham hurried forward to comfort him. He knew that the one who was most sad because the ball didn't go in would be Raul himself.

Raul covered his cheeks with his hands, wiped his chin with the ring on his hand, reached out and patted Beckham's shoulder, and said: "I'm fine, I was too excited just now."

No one wants to miss a goal, and everyone understands this truth. However, when the other Real Madrid players saw such a good opportunity was wasted by Raul, there was still some resentment in their eyes. In this game, everyone knew how important a goal was, and the smooth cooperation went smoothly, but Raul's shot this time was too trifling, which was a waste of his teammates' efforts.

Wang Li is not very familiar with Raul. In the team, the players who have a good relationship with him are Ronaldo, Robinho, Casillas, Beckham and others. After he transferred to Real Madrid, Raul has not been in the team, so the two have not had much contact.

However, seeing that Raul failed to score a goal, Wang Li did not complain. He himself was also defended by Chelsea and had no time to care about others.

During this period, he has been looking for ways to perform. It's not that he is eager to perform and fight for a starting position. Even if he doesn't perform, he will still be the team's main force, because he alone accounts for one-third of Chelsea's defensive energy. Based on this alone, no player has contributed more than him.

Of course, these are tactical issues, and fans still hope to see Wang Li's performance.

And Wang Li is also trying to do so.

Chelsea's defense against him was indeed tight. Mourinho's defense against him was three layers inside and three layers outside. It was not easy to perform well under such defense. When Wang Li dribbled the ball, he was faced with double-teaming on all sides. He had no way out. In most cases, he could not even receive the pass from his teammates.

It was another Real Madrid attack. Baptista was struggling with the ball and passed it to Wang Li, but Lampard intercepted the ball in the middle. Seeing this, the commentator seemed very disappointed. He kept nagging: "We saw that Alan encountered some troubles in the game. He was always sandwiched between several opponents."

"Mr Mourinho's defensive tactics have worked well. Until now, Allen has only had two shots on goal and has not scored a goal for Real Madrid."

"Look at this ball, his good friend Lampard intercepted the pass directly in the middle, Baptista should not have passed it to him"

“看起来，切尔西真的很了解王利，穆里尼奥在赛前和艾伦争吵的时候，就说过让艾伦本场比赛没什么表现，看起来他做到了这一点，他用对艾伦的了解和球队的实力，做到了。”

“我真希望艾伦能摆脱这种困境，现在的皇家马德里，艾伦就是风向标一样的球员，他的发挥很重要，我承认，我也是他的球迷之一。”

“或许我们应该期待下半场，艾伦肯定会爆发的，我一直相信他，虽然现在看起来他的境遇很不好”

“我的天呐！”

就在解说员这些絮絮叨叨的话语中，他突然发出一声惊呼，镜头马上转到了皇家马德里的半场，兰帕德在断球后，一脚传向了边路的达米恩.达夫。

作为一个爱尔兰球员，达夫的个人能力并不怎么突出，所以在和罗本的双边锋组合中，他的定位是要低于罗本的，蓝军球迷也是这么认为，只因罗本在比赛里，总是上演个人突破的好戏。

足球是11个人的运动，可是个人的能力在球迷眼里却非常重要。

可这次，个人能力不突出的达夫，成为了切尔西反击的关键人物，他在接到兰帕德传球之后，直接加速带球一晃之间就过掉了齐达内。

这并不值得大惊小怪，过掉齐达内真的很正常，但是达夫的表现可不止如此，他在快速反击中，一脚把球传给了禁区前沿的德罗巴，后者在看到没机会后，又是一脚回传，而后在皇马球员还没反应过来之际，达夫踢出了一脚非常有威胁的直塞球！！

足球传到了拉莫斯的身后，而插到禁区里的罗本刚好跑到那个点上！！

一次小角度的推射！！

整个过程都没沾到球的阿尔金.罗本完成了切尔西进攻的最后一击，面对近距离的射门，卡西利亚斯毫无办法，只能绝望的看着足球从他身侧擦过，‘咚’的一声撞到门柱弹进了球网中。

“切尔西打破了僵局！！进球的是荷兰小子阿尔金.罗本！！！”在失意之中，现场的解说员也只能这样报道着。

不过，也止于此了。

对于切尔西的进球，他实在没有什么评价的动力，如果让他继续说的话，恐怕他就要没有风度的骂娘了。

进球之后的罗本显然非常兴奋，要知道这可是欧冠淘汰赛的进球，而且还是客场在伯纳乌的进球，他有理由兴奋，这个球真的价值千金了。

很快，球场的记分牌变成了‘0:1’，切尔西领先了皇家马德里。

看到切尔西球员们兴高采烈的庆祝，王利的眉头已经深深皱了起来，虽然皇马占据优势，可是占据优势不进球的比赛太多了，照这样下去，球队的形势可能就要调转过来了。

而这场还是在伯纳乌的比赛，无论是他还是队友们，都不可能不着急，他们应该做的是多进几球，来找到优势，可现在切尔西却进了一球。

这种情势对皇家马德里是不利的。

“我该怎么办呢？”王利不断想着办法。

虽然他知道自己应该溶于球队，但是这种情况下，他还是更相信自己。队友的实力虽然强，但他们的射门没有保证姓，依靠运气的成分高于实力，这样的状况是他不能接受的。

而此时的场下，切尔西的主教练穆里尼奥显得非常高兴，他的脸上再也没有焦急的神色，而是带着一种叫做自信的光芒。只要能在客场取得优势，那么回到主场，他相信球队一定能够打败皇马，进军欧冠四强的。

现在的进球说明了一切，他的战术成功了。

防守足球会赢得胜利，他一直相信这条定律。即使全世界都不喜欢他，但只要他胜利，管其他人说些什么呢？

这就是穆里尼奥，全世界第一无二的‘狂人’

比赛场上，王利又一次接到了球，不过这次他是在中场附近。

在这个位置上，切尔西的防守显然弱了一些，防守球员不可能跟着他朝皇马半场跑，那样会拉扯球队的防线，给皇马制造机会。

接到传球之后，王利依然选择了带球。

现在的皇马进攻虽然打的很流畅，但是机会还是非常难得的，他要为球队创造进球的机会，而不单单是让进攻流畅。

兰帕德贴了上来。

和王利做了一个赛季的队友，兰帕德很了解王利的盘带能力，他知道怎么防守才能起到最大作用，贴身过去等待其他球员的包夹，才是最好的选择。

兰帕德的选择没错，可是他却忘了这里是在中路，切尔西的防守在这片地区非常分散，王利找到机会之后，根本没在意兰帕德的防守，直接带球快速冲了过去。

在接近王利的时候，兰帕德习惯姓的减速，而没有选择直接启动显然是个失误，王利这么突然姓的一爆发，直接拉了他三个身位有余，他再想追上就很难了。

越过兰帕德之后，王利快要到达了禁区线上，这附近切尔西的防守力度很强，埃辛和马克莱莱直接跑了过来。

看到这种情况，王利也有些头疼，在之前的比赛里，他已经受够了这两人的防守。

经过这么多的足球比赛，他经历的防守多种多样，但不得不说，对他非常了解的马克莱莱加上埃辛的组合，实在是最令人烦躁的，这两个防守球员的经验非常丰富，他们绝对都是世界最顶尖的防守悍将，当他们加在一起防守一个球员的时候，那真是令人头疼的事儿，如果是罗纳尔多一级别的球员，恐怕现在早就憋闷在球场的一个角落，变成球场的空气了。

不过，王利的个人能力显然比罗纳尔多高出一个档次。

面对过这么多次两人的夹防，王利不会冲动的利用脚下技术直接冲过去，那绝对是不明智的，即使他利用凌波微步的身法，能从两人直接穿过去，可足球却不能用这种身法，显然是过不去的。

对很多球员来说，比赛场上都是球过人不过，可王利总是头疼人过球不过。

毕竟，凌波微步不能万能的，带着球的情况下，他使用这种身法，也只是加快带球速度罢了。

在全场球迷关注的目光下，这次王利选择了转移方向带球，他直接错开了两人，而反之向着边路横向带去。这个大幅度的转移，让马克莱莱两人完全没反应过来，他们跟上的时候，却已经落后了。

不过，朝着边路横向带球，并不能帮助王利直接越过两人，也只是让他有了传球空间而已。

但是，这已经足够了！！

在切尔西和皇马的训练时间里，王利大部分时间都在训练任意球，现在他的一脚任意球技术绝不弱于大卫.贝克汉姆，而在这个过程中，他的长传球水平早已有了质的提高。在有了传球空间之后，王利向后带了一下，转头眼角随着扫了一下后方，随即猛的一加速转身，一脚把球吊向了禁区的左侧。

那里是巴普蒂斯塔的位置！

在王利带球的过程中，切尔西的防守球员的视线大部分都被王利的身影所牵动，他们的注意力大多数都集中在王利身上，而马克莱莱和埃辛以及边后卫加拉斯三人更是跟着王利的带球，这使得切尔西的防线，肯定会产生些漏洞。

巴普蒂斯塔就是其中之一！！

这一刻，切尔西漏人了，应该说这是个失误，可也是没办法的失误，王利自己一个人吸引了太多切尔西的防守力量，他们不可能总是做得面面俱到。

面对这次机会，巴普蒂斯塔接球后，反应过来，一脚直推球门死角！！

“漂亮，gooooooooo”这一刻，解说员几乎已经喊出了进球的号角，而全场球迷也都欢呼不断了。

但足球却被一个身影扑了出来，那是切尔西的门将托马斯.克拉克！！

“漂亮！！！”

同样的，切尔西教练席上，主教练穆里尼奥站起身鼓起了掌，为这次扑救喝彩。

巴普蒂斯塔的这脚射门足够有威胁了，他几乎推了一个球门的死角，可是托马斯的反应速度也是极快的，他仍然把球扑了出来。

上一刻，天堂，下一刻，人间！

这就是皇马球迷心情的真实反应，之后，全场所有人几乎都盯着球门口趴在地上的英格兰白人小伙子，在这场比赛里，他发挥出的水平绝对是世界最一流的，即使卡恩、布冯之流站在那里，他们也觉得刚才那球必进了。

可是，球真的没进。

巴普蒂斯塔有些不敢相信的看着眼下的白人大个子，看着他慢慢从草地上爬起来，这个人成为了拯救切尔西的英雄，而他或许成为了刚才一幕的陪衬。

不管他的射门多么精准，结果才是最重要的。

“嘿嘿嘿嘿。”

站起来之后，托马斯却毫无英雄形象的大笑起来，他脸上那种笑意，让王利想起了在伍尔弗汉普顿的时光。

“你还是没变！”

王利走过去说道：“还是那么猥琐，难道这是天生的？？不过，你可别大意，我很快就要进球了。”

“嘿嘿嘿嘿。”

一边说着，王利还朝托马斯比了个大拇指，对刚才那次扑救，他心里也是很佩服的。当然，这些对现在的王利来说，只是附带的事儿，重要的是在刚才那次进攻中，他知道了发挥的办法。

是的，他找到了办法。

切尔西对他的防守足够严密了，可是他完全可以选择后撤，即使不当一名前锋，以他前面的能力，成为一名中场，为队友做球，一样能有不错的表现。

他是这么想的，也是这么做的。

于是，在比赛重新开始之后，王利就站在了中线附近，这让马克莱莱和埃辛两个人无所适从，他们不知道该不该一直跟着王利。

跟着王利的话，那么他们几乎就完全不能做其他的事儿了，那么切尔西就变成了9打10，这还是在他们完全防守住王利的情况下，这样的比赛，切尔西肯定会变得极为被动。

可是不跟着王利，那么他就能在中场肆意发挥，马克莱莱很清楚，切尔西中路上除了兰帕德能对王利造成一点麻烦之外，其他人的防守根本起不到多大作用。

想了想之后，他们还是没跟过去，那样的话，切尔西就太被动了。

马克莱莱是希望中场休息的时候，主教练能再想出应对的策略，他很相信葡萄牙人，正是穆里尼奥把他从皇马带到了切尔西，并拿到了很多的冠军荣誉。

现在距离上半场结束只有几分钟时间了，他有理由这么想。

但是，又一次皇马的进攻中，王利的表现让马克莱莱放下的心又提了起来。

这次，王利得球后，选择从左侧突破，当马克莱莱两人跟上来防守的时候，他直接传球了，他把球传向了禁区线附近，那里，劳尔得球，紧跟着后脚跟一搓把球转移到禁区里，罗比尼奥跑动节奏中，跟上一脚抽射！！

球打偏了，皇马没能得分，但是这次进攻却完全由王利发起的，他的传中球实在太精准了，而刚才劳尔的位置很好，但很难接到球，可球还是落到了他的脚下。

这样的传球水平，让马克莱莱觉得球队很难坚持到中场休息。

就在他这么担忧中，皇马又组织了下一轮的进攻。

这次的进攻发起者仍然是王利，在中圈里得球之后，他没有选择带球，而是把球交到了边路上的巴普蒂斯塔。

巴普蒂斯塔非常活跃的带球越过了里卡多.卡瓦略，而后和齐达内、罗比尼奥进行了几次传接球，便带球到了底线。这时候，他转头便看到了王利急速朝着他这边冲过来，王利的身后还跟着马克莱莱和埃辛两人，显然他们的速度是跟不上王利的。

虽然看起来，这个黑发小子并没有好机会，可是巴普蒂斯塔还是一脚传给了他。

这是一种对球队支柱的信任。

王利很轻松的接下了球，而与此同时，他的身体猛的定在了原地，这使得马克莱莱两人在惯姓下，直接冲过了他的身旁，在想要防守却已经晚了。

王利已经带球朝着禁区中路冲去。

那里的切尔西防守显然很密集，特里和兰帕德都在其中。

王利当然不会就这么冲过来，他的带球是横向移动的，并没有朝着球门方向冲，这种情况下，切尔西的球员就跟在王利的身侧。

他们紧跟着王利，还不断封锁他的传球路线。

在刚才几分钟的比赛里，王利的传球对切尔西造成了极大的威胁，他们可不想让他再有所发挥了。

“艾伦在带球，他在横向移动！！他要传给谁呢？”

就在解说员话音刚落，王利转瞬间一个停球，甩开跟在身边的约翰.特里，找出空间，正直射出一脚大力抽射！！

冷射！！

这才是真正的冷射！！

很多球员完全没有反应过来，就连观众席上的球迷们，都觉得有些不可思议了。这脚球射的太突然了！！他们完全没有预料到在那个点，那么多球员包夹下，那个黑发小子身体突然停止转而射门。

不过，有一个人反应过来了，那就是切尔西的门将托马斯.克拉克。

他是王利最好的朋友，也是王利最长时间的队友，王利刚刚来到这个世界的时候，他和王利就在伍尔夫汉普顿青年队一起成长了。

所以，在看到王利得球之后，他就一直仔细盯着王利的动作，他知道王利几乎每一刻都有可能射门。

这脚球射的角度并没有多刁钻，可力道却很大，反应过来后，托马斯根本不敢扑球，那非常不保险，在一瞬之间，他还是选择用双拳把球击了出去。

球没进。

全场的皇马球迷都哀叹了一声，他们心里都不得不佩服切尔西的这个门将，他的表现实在太好了。

这脚球射的真的足够好了，但是球仍然没进，这实在让人觉得可惜，而场边的切尔西主教练穆里尼奥也长松了口气，刚才那一刻，他的心直接提了起来，看到托马斯扑出了球，他才满意的笑了。

可这笑容只维持了不到一秒的时间。

下一刻，那扑出的球前，出现了个身穿皇马球衣的黑发小子，他背后的‘21’，是那么令切尔西球员绝望。

面对空门，王利还有时间和托马斯挤了下眼，才一脚把球推进了球网中。

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！”就在刚才还失落不已的现场解说员一瞬间就被惊喜所填满，他几乎用最大的声调，来吼出这声进球的呼声——“艾伦.王，伯纳乌的舞蹈大师，艾伦.王！！！”

“艾伦为皇马扳平了比分！！一脚补射！！不过，刚才的射门也同样是他，真不敢相信，这么短的时间里，他怎么会又出现在那个位置上，真是不可思议。”

“这一瞬间，我又想说‘艾伦几乎是无所不能的’，没有人能超越他，他几乎在任何方面都能做的很好。无疑，这个球完全归功于艾伦，从组织进攻，到寻找机会射门，再到射门，而后是补射，他全程包办了整个进攻到进球的所有过程。”

“我想，这个球一定会成为欧冠的最佳进球，如果能有更好的进球，那一定还是艾伦踢出来的”

转瞬间，伯纳乌球场就成了欢腾的海洋，看台上大部分球迷全都惊喜的叫出来声，他们期待这一刻太久太久了。

整个上半场，皇马一直在进攻，可是却没能出现进球，第一个进球还是切尔西打进的，这种比赛真的看的球迷郁闷不已，他们只能期待着皇马的发挥。

现在，又是这个黑发小子，他再一次进球了。

在上半场的最后时刻，他为皇马打进了扳平比分的进球，这样一来，以平局进入中场休息，皇马下半场会好打的多了。

王利在上半场没什么表现的时候，几乎所有球迷都认为他被盯死了，不过这时，他们都对原来的这种想法感到懊恼不已，‘我竟然不相信艾伦’，很多人都这么想，所以他们欢呼声更大了。

“艾伦！！艾伦！！艾伦！！”

整个伯纳乌都被这种声音填满了，这响声甚至持续了一分多钟，才慢慢消减下来。

“他到哪都很受欢迎。”看着伯纳乌的气氛，兰帕德不由说道。

“那是因为他的出色。”

旁边，马克莱莱接着说道：“我一直觉得俱乐部的决策是错误的，两亿欧元把艾伦卖到了皇马，没有比这更错误的了，他的身价可不止这么多，看看皇马现在的成绩就知道，艾伦上场的比赛几乎不会输球的。”

“你怕了？”兰帕德一笑道。

马克莱莱转头看向被皇马球员包围的黑发小子，轻笑了下：“只是感慨一下，不过，咱们可不能轻易认输。比赛才进行了一半儿。”

“希望你的说法是对的，也许今年英格兰能拿到世界杯冠军了，哈哈！！！”

“哼，那一定是我们的！”

兰帕德和马克莱莱的对话不长，但是也显现出此时切尔西球员的普遍心态——‘我们真的能打赢有那个黑发小子的皇马吗？’

这个问题，几乎纠缠着所有切尔西球员。

虽然比分只是1:1，在客场切尔西还占据着优势，但是王利的进球实在太震慑人心里，他几乎戏耍了整个切尔西后防线，以一己之力，打进了球，这对于防守球员的心态，真是不小的打击

The general idea of ​​Chelsea players was to wait until the half-time break so that they would at least have some time to adjust. However, Real Madrid did not want to end like this, taking advantage of the momentum of the goal they had just scored. In the last time of the first half, Real Madrid organized two more attacks. Robinho made a threatening shot, but fortunately, captain John Terry reacted in time and blocked the ball with his body, so that the score was not rewritten again.

Under this circumstance, the game finally entered the halftime.

For the fans, the halftime break is a leisure time. They can do their own things and talk about the highlights of the first half of the game, while the big screen keeps replaying the two goals in the first half.

The first Chelsea goal was very exciting, but it was much inferior to Wang Li’s goal, so the big screen kept replaying Wang Li’s goal. Many fans watched it over and over again, but they still didn’t get tired of it.

"Will Alan score again in the second half? How many goals will he score?"

This became a hot topic among fans, and people were talking about it in almost every corner of the stadium.

The locker rooms of the two teams were not so idle. In Real Madrid's locker room, Carlo was arranging the tactics for the second half. It would not be accurate to say that he was arranging them. It should be said that he was emphasizing the issues that should be paid attention to in the second half.

His main emphasis is still on defense.

With players like Wang Li, Robinho, Baptista and others, Real Madrid's offense is guaranteed, but the team cannot just attack. The counterattack ability shown by Chelsea in the first half posed a great threat to Real Madrid's defense.

If the defense can be guaranteed, then Carlo doesn't have to worry about the team at all, but now Real Madrid's defense is indeed a big problem.

"I don't need you to do anything more, but while ensuring the offense, you must pay attention to the defense. Carlos, you have to reduce the number of times you make runs!! The same goes for Pavan. As the captain of the team, you should set an example. In the second half, the two of you will have no chances, so just stay in the backcourt and ensure the team's defense."

Seeing Carlos and Pavan both nodded, Carlo nodded in satisfaction and continued: "You performed well in the first half, but defense is the key to victory in a football match. Our offense in the first half was beautiful, but what was the result? The score is now 1:1, and we are not leading! So you must pay attention to the defense."

What worries Carlo the most is the problem of Real Madrid's defenders, especially Carlos. He rarely scolds players, but for the sake of winning the game, he can only do this. If he remains silent, the team's style of play will slowly go astray, which is not what Carlo wants to see.

Carlos is the key figure for the defender to join in. In Carlo's opinion, with Wang Li in the frontcourt, Carlos's role will not be great. He cannot dribble as fast as the forward. After joining in, he can only make the back of Real Madrid more sparse. And long shots? He and Wang Li are not at the same level at all.

Fortunately, Carlos' attitude was still correct and he did not refute Carlo. However, Carlos did not look very good after being scolded in front of so many teammates.

But Carlo couldn't care less.

Off the field, Carlo looked at the defensive combination of Makelele, Essien and Lampard, and was extremely envious of Mourinho. Any head coach would hope that the team could have so many good players, especially blue-collar workers on the field like Makelele. This kind of player is what Real Madrid lacks the most.

Makelele was once a member of Real Madrid, but now he has joined the opponent's camp. This is what Carlo is most dissatisfied with the Real Madrid top management.

However, he is content. Now that Real Madrid has Wang Li, its offensive capability has been greatly enhanced. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to confront Mourinho, a world-class coach.

Real Madrid is good at attacking, while Chelsea is good at defending.

However, unlike Carlo, Chelsea coach Mourinho still emphasized defense during the halftime break.

Chelsea is good at defense, but in Mourinho's opinion, the defense is still not strong enough. As a professional defensive coach, his style is defense. Facing a team like Real Madrid, he still emphasizes the team's defense.

It's like he was born to defend.

In Mourinho's view, only in this way can the team have hope of winning.

This is the difference in thinking and style between the two head coaches.

Mourinho prefers to strengthen the aspects that the team is good at, which is very similar to Wenger. Arsenal has strong offensive capabilities, but Wenger has been adding players on the front line in order to strengthen the offensive capabilities.

But the difference is that Arsenal's style is liked by fans, while Chelsea's style is not liked by fans.

But if the two teams played now, Chelsea's chances of winning might be higher, which might be a victory for defensive football and conservatism.

In Chelsea, Mourinho's authority is much stronger than Carlo in Real Madrid. As soon as he entered the locker room, he yelled at the players!

"Look at what you did in the first half!! Why didn't you defend that black-haired kid?? You were the European champions last season, the Premier League champions, the champions last season, and you will be the champions this season!! But why can't a championship team even defend one player from the opponent??"

"Under such circumstances, he actually fooled the entire defense. I really don't know what you guys are doing with the club's salary. Are they scary? Especially in the last minute, your game state was obviously not serious. I wonder if you were already planning to lose?"

Mourinho's face was full of anger, and the Chelsea players all lowered their heads, but in their hearts they didn't care about what he said.

"Championship team?"

You know, that black-haired boy was the most important contributor last season. If the club hadn't sold him to Real Madrid, the team wouldn't have faced this crisis, and perhaps it would have been an easy victory now.

"As for the salary??"

I'm afraid that the combined salary of the entire Chelsea team is not much higher than that of Wang Li alone. An annual salary of 35 million euros is no joke. Terry has the highest salary in the team, but his weekly salary is only 110,000 pounds, so his annual salary is only more than 5 million pounds.

Many other players only earn around 2 million pounds a year.

From this point of view, it is very normal that Chelsea's entire defense line cannot defend against Wang Li.

Fortunately, Mourinho was just talking, with the purpose of venting some dark emotions and encouraging the players to boost their morale.

During the half-time break, he focused on Wang Li's defensive issues. Mourinho had been worrying about this issue throughout the preparations for this game.

Originally Mourinho thought his defensive strategy was foolproof, but the game on the field made him realize that it is almost impossible to completely defend against an all-around player like Wang Li, because he can perform well in every position on the field.

Now, what he needs to do is to limit Wang Li's performance.

At this time, he deeply regretted that he had listened to the advice of club chairman Abramovich and team CEO Peter Kenyon in the summer and sold Wang Li. If he had fought harder, the two would most likely have kept Wang Li, and he would not have to worry about this matter.

But it is too late to think about it now. The black-haired boy already belongs to Real Madrid, which has become an unchangeable fact. After thinking about countermeasures temporarily, Mourinho still thinks that Essien should be asked to guard Wang Li throughout the court.

Mourinho cannot send Makelele and Essien to defend throughout the entire court, as that would be almost half of Chelsea's defensive strength. The consequences of doing so would be even worse than they are now. After all, the other players of Real Madrid are also very capable, especially the two young players of Real Madrid, whose performances are really outstanding.

If Wang Li's brilliance had not been so dazzling, Baptista and Robinho would have long become the main targets of Real Madrid's publicity.

From this point of view, Wang Li does have a role in suppressing other players, because fans will always remember the names of the best players, and Wang Li is undoubtedly the best performer of Real Madrid.

"We must hold on, we must hold on!!"

After arranging the tactics for the second half, Mourinho kept muttering this sentence. In the Portuguese's mind, if they could maintain this score in the second half, even if they didn't score a goal, it would be a victory for Chelsea.

But deep down he was extremely worried about the team.

After all, the performance of that black-haired boy was so terrifying that he always felt a sense of crisis.
