Zidane stood in front of the coach's bench, his eyes fixed on the pitch, his breathing became a little short.
He is also a man who has experienced many battles, but at this moment, his heart is still uneasy.
This game is totally different from all the games he has experienced before. This is the first Champions League final he has experienced as head coach. Moreover, China city has never won against Atletico Madrid this season, and now it is one-to-one behind
If he can, he would even rather rush into the court to play, rather than work in a hurry on the sidelines.
"What to do?" Zidane's lips moved and asked himself in a voice so weak that he couldn't hear clearly.
He is really facing a very embarrassing situation, Simone's midfield changes, so that he had expected all kinds of measures are completely invalid, he knows that now the team must adjust, and as soon as possible.
Time for Chinatown is running out.
There is no suspense about changing people, but who to change, how to change and how to fight after changing
He's in a mess now. He feels like a paste in his head. He can't tell.
"What on earth?" He asked himself again in a weak voice.
He turned suddenly and looked up at the rostrum behind him.
Right in the middle is the podium, where UEFA president Platini and Gao are sitting.
It seems that he also noticed Zidane's eyes. Gao Han also looked at him, reached out and pointed to his temple, then raised his thumb and nodded, as if to say, I believe you can.
Inspired by the cold, Zidane turned and looked back at the pitch.
"When you feel at a loss, the best choice is to calm down and straighten out your mind."
What Gao Han once said to him came to Zidane's mind.
The Frenchman breathed heavily, went to the edge of the field, grabbed a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it into his stomach. It felt like a traveler just out of the Sahara desert.
When a bottle of water was poured into his stomach, Zidane raised his head again and breathed heavily.
As a result, his original anxious mood was calmed down a lot, and his original flustered mind gradually became clear.
"What is the core strategy of our game?" Zidane asked himself.
Control the ball!
Zidane's eyes lit up as soon as the word came to mind.
Only to see him quickly to the bench, pointing to Paul bogba, "Paul, hurry up to warm up."
Paul bogba jumped up from his seat, quickly took off his coat and ran to the warm-up area of the field under the envious eyes of his teammates.
Zidane, on the other hand, quickly walked back to the court and waved to Alex Sandro, indicating his position to press forward. Danilo, on the right, also gave the same order.
Obviously, Zidane will continue to strengthen the attack.
Three minutes later, bogba returned to the sidelines and Zidane soon replaced him.
The 60th minute, Zidane has carried on this competition's first substitution adjustment, bogba replaced ilia ramendi.
After the replacement adjustment, verati was dragged to the last position of the team, and the positions of ISCO and bogba were more forward.
In addition, the two full backs on the side press forward boldly, which makes the whole formation of Chinatown full of attack.
…………
…………
"Chinatown made the first substitution of the game."
"Bogba replaced Iria ramendi, Zidane seems to continue to strengthen the attack in the middle and front
"But this time the replacement is still open to question. After all, ilia ramendi's defense in midfield is very important. Now we use vilati to delay, which is very worrying."
"After the replacement, the attack of Chinatown is very active."
"Varane moves to the left and Alex Sandro gets the ball and passes forward
"Azar cuts the ball in, then goes back to the side, and Alex Sandro catches the ball in front of him and crosses..."
"Glitzman's back header!"
"Oh, almost."
"We saw bogba and fermino in the middle, but Atletico Madrid's defenders ignored glitzman at the back
"It should be said that this was a very threatening offensive, which took place in the 62nd minute."
"Take another look at this attack, it's still Chinatown, it's still on the side, Danilo takes the ball."
"It's going to the middle to verati, then to the left, and it's still Alex Sandro."
"The back prevention of Navas is really not active enough."
"Now the ball is under the control of China City, Atletico Madrid is relatively passive. Once Alex Sandro assists, it's easy to cooperate with Azar and ISCO and create a threat."
"The left attack is also the most lethal channel for Chinatown all the time."
"Simone is finally going to make a substitution adjustment. He replaced Navas with Raul Garcia."
"It's a significant defensive change," he said
"Simone is one goal ahead now. It seems that he should keep the score
"Chinatown seems to be starting to change people again."
"Zinedine Zidane made the second substitution adjustment. He replaced verati and Hesse
"This should be a very unexpected replacement. Is Zidane going to use ISCO and bogba to block the impact of Atletico Madrid?"
"Two middle midfield players are strong in attack and weak in defence. Is it appropriate to let them be in midfield at this time?"
…………
…………
In the stands, Gao Han, Platini and others were surprised to see Zidane's replacement adjustment at first sight.
But soon, the alpine cold was the first to understand.
With the start of the game, bogba and ISCO's position is obviously more backward than before. When they get the ball at Atletico Madrid, they always stand in front of Schneiderlin and ereira, and even if they control the ball, they are always in front of each other.
Glitzmann on the right side plays a role of pulling and deterring. He and Danilo are involved in Atletico Madrid. Felipe and villa on the left side, especially villa, seem to have consumed almost all their physical strength.
Simone used Raul Garcia to replace Navas. One of the important reasons is that Navas is not willing to defend on the right side. However, after Zidane replaced Hesse, he still wants to play on the right side of Atletico Madrid.
Hesse was in the front, cruising on the left side of fermino, holding Juan Fran and Ramos, while Azar pulled out and pulled to the left side to create opportunities.
Juan Fran was restrained, and Raul Garcia wanted to guard against Alex Sandro. There was a defensive vacuum between them.
With Azar's strength, once you get the ball in this space, it will undoubtedly bring a huge threat to Atletico Madrid.
"The game is starting to be more and more interesting. It's just beginning now!"
Gao Han said excitedly.
To this level of competition, often a little gap, may determine the trend of the game.
Next, let's see if Azar has the ability to carve a passage from the iron wall of Atletico Madrid.
…………
…………
With the retreat of Atletico Madrid, the ball control advantage of Chinatown is more and more obvious.
Azar started to get more chances on the left.
As expected, Hesse swam between Juan Fran and Ramos, making Atletico Madrid's right back dare not stick up to defend Azar, while Raul Garcia wanted to contain Alex Sandro, so that Azar was always in the state of no one defending when he took the ball from the left.
As soon as the Belgians got the ball, they faced the defense of Atletico Madrid.
The first impact took place in the 73rd minute. After Azar got the ball from the side, Raul Garcia quickly returned to the defence, but Azar headed straight for Juan Fran with the ball. After a simple fake, he turned and buckled Juan Fran with the ball and cut to the penalty area.
But Ramos calmly blocked the right side of the penalty area, forcing Azar to slow down in time and return the ball.
But soon, the attack of Chinatown made a comeback.
Still Azar, still on the left.
Azar received Hesse's pass, suddenly bucked Juan Fran, with the ball into the penalty area.
This time, he was not entangled by Ramos until he reached the restricted area. Although he finally earned a chance to hit the goal together on the left side of the small restricted area, Ramos and obrak's cooperative defense was in place, completely blocking Azar's shooting angle.
The Belgian shot went straight into obrak's arms.
Two attacks did not work, but Azar's advantage in the left side of the ball has been revealed.
…………
…………
Simone stands on the sidelines with an iron face. He knows very well that Chinese city players are really excellent in personal ability, just like Azar, who can't defend him one-on-one.
Zidane dare to let ISCO and bogba support the midfield, is to believe that their front court can hold down Atletico Madrid.
Even
Simone paid attention to the movement of the opponent's bench, morata is also ready to move.
Replacement?
It's time to change people, but it's open to question who to change.
Villa's physical fitness has been almost consumed, so it is reasonable to replace him, but Azar's side is also very dangerous, so we should strengthen the defense, but in this way, don't we need to replace two players?
There are still more than ten minutes left in the game. If you are not careful to draw, there will be extra time. At this time, all the replacement places will be used up... Is it really suitable?
It has to be said that Zidane's hand is beautiful, he is not in a hurry and continues to strengthen his control of the ball.
Two replacement, two preemptive, really worthy of the high cold appointed marshal!
Simone praised in his heart that he absolutely admired the cold vision, because it was the cold's recommendation that made him succeed heinks and take charge of Atletico Madrid, which created his achievements and status today.
It can be said that the high cold is Simone's bole.
What Simone didn't expect is that Zidane, as a rookie, was so calm and calm at the critical moment. It's really not easy.
After thinking about it, Simone finally made a decision to replace villa.
But at the same time, he also signaled to Raul Garcia and Juan Fran on the right to keep a distance and not give Azar too much space.
As for the bench, Mario Suarez is ready to play.
The 76th minute, Atletico Madrid finally made the second substitution adjustment.
Turkish winger Turan has replaced villa, who has consumed almost the same amount of energy.
The veteran has done his best in this game. Up to now, his physical fitness has been almost consumed. If he is allowed to stay on the field, it is hard to guarantee that the right side of Chinatown will not seize the opportunity.
Therefore, simonius thought before and after, and finally decided to change villa.
Put Turan on, at least Danilo.
But just in the past three minutes, Chinatown scored!
