Super Marshal

Chapter 549 The hero is late

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Cheers surged down from the stands at the Santiago Bernabeu and swept through the entire stadium.

But Capello, standing in front of the home team's coaching bench, was not happy at all.

With his current status and reputation, holding on to a zero-0 score in the first half does not make him feel the slightest bit proud, even if he faced the invincible Gao Han.

On the contrary, the trend in the first half made him a little confused and unable to figure it out.

Zero to zero, Inter Milan was just testing from the beginning to the end. Although they launched several threatening offensives, many years of coaching experience told Capello that Gao Han did not try his best, and Inter Milan did not try his best to attack. .

With a ball possession rate of over 60% and an astonishing success rate of passing and receiving, Inter Milan completely controlled the last half hour of the first half. Capello originally thought that Gao Han would end the first half. He launched a counterattack before, but the result was unsuccessful.

This is not normal, so abnormal!

Based on Capello's understanding of Gao Han, it is impossible for him to be satisfied with zero to zero, but why not counterattack?

"Is he going to work hard in the second half?" Galbiati speculated.

When Inter Milan counterattacked, it became a sword of Damocles, hanging over Real Madrid's head.

Almost everyone concluded that the sword would definitely fall, but when it would fall was a question.

"Originally I thought it would be before the end of the first half. After all, our physical energy consumption was much greater than theirs. It was also in line with their habits to exert strength at the end of the first half, but it turned out not to be the case." Capello also said I can't understand it.

The same goes for Galbiati.

It should be said that Inter Milan has an obvious advantage in overall strength and has mastered the ball control and rhythm of the game. Real Madrid can only take a defensive stance, but to defend, it must first determine how the enemy will attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Adriano are both good at cutting inside, so in this game Capello arranged three midfielders to stay in front of the defense and cut off the two wingers of Inter Milan very well.

Real Madrid also accumulated heavy troops in the middle, which prevented Inter Milan's entire central attack from being a threat. Except for Yaya Toure's long shot in the 11th minute, there were very few chances in the first half.

The game wasn't exciting, but it was dangerous.

Both teams have gathered a group of top superstar players in European football. When the experts compete with each other, sometimes the slightest loophole may be caught by the opponent and attacked.

Capello couldn't figure it out for a while, "Let's take a look first and then talk."

After saying that, he patted his assistant on the shoulder, and the two of them got into the player tunnel one after the other.

But just as the two entered the player tunnel and headed straight to the home team's locker room, they saw Mijatovic turning around and coming out of the elevator. He immediately greeted them as soon as he saw them.

"Fabio."

Galbiati knew something was wrong with him, "I'll go back and prepare first."

Capello nodded, sent his assistant back to the home team's locker room, and looked at Mijatovic again.

This player who was once his subordinate, and who only obeyed his orders, has now become his immediate boss, and begins to want to command him, and even has some faint signs of wanting to control him.

"If you want to interfere with my formation and game tactics, then I advise you to save it. I will not listen to anyone's opinions, including you, including the chairman." Capello said in a tone of voice Very tough.

Mijatovic hit a wall as soon as they met and was a little depressed, but he also understood Capello's temper and laughed and said: "You are wrong about this, Fabio, I am not here to interfere with you. I don’t have the ability either.”

Capello looked at the general manager in surprise, his eyes seeming to say, you know best.

"I just want to tell you that the first half of the game was very good and the team was very stable. I think we should continue to play like this. Not to mention defeating the opponent, at least maintaining a draw should not be a big problem. , at least I think Inter Milan’s offense can’t do anything to us.”

Looking at Mijatovic's triumphant smile, Capello secretly sighed in his heart. This man has completely forgotten the mind he used to have when he was playing football. Now his mind is full of club management, even... Take the opportunity to make money.

"Inter Milan will definitely increase their offensive power in the second half. They slowed down their pace to play with us in the first half, but they certainly won't in the second half. Therefore, if we still follow the defensive tactics of the first half, we will be finished sooner or later."

Being refuted so ruthlessly by Capello, Mijatovic was a little embarrassed and laughed, but he seemed to be a little angry in his heart.

The reason why he doesn't like Capello is because the former coach always treats himself as a player.

You know, he was a player under Capello back then, but now he is the general manager of Real Madrid.

"Okay, you are the head coach of the team, and you have the final say on how to play." Mijatovic stopped talking, "But I want to remind you on behalf of the management that the representatives of the sponsors are in the stands. Sit down, you must not lose this game!"

Mijatovic stared deeply at Capello for a few seconds before saying "leave", turned around and left.

But Capello heard what he meant clearly.

If he loses this game, he will have to leave.

Capello looked at Mijatovic's back and sneered twice. He was not an idiot.

As the head coach, Capello also has his own information channels. He knows that Calderon and Mijatovic have reached a private agreement with Schuster. If Schuster cannot coach Real Madrid next season, they will Schuster will have to pay private compensation of 1.5 million euros.

As for why there was such an agreement, there are different rumors from the outside world. Some said it was because Schuster helped them campaign during the election, while others said it was because of other reasons. Who knows?

But one thing Capello is very sure of, whether he wins or loses, he has to leave.

Looking at Mijatovic's back, Capello suppressed the disgust in his heart and forced himself to shift his attention to the game.

He is a professional head coach. No matter what happens in the future, as long as he is still the head coach of Real Madrid, he has to help the team defeat opponents.

What's more, defeating Inter Milan is what he has always wanted to do.

He has never forgotten the humiliation Gao Han brought to him last season.

"I paid special attention to it in the first half. I wonder if you have noticed that Real Madrid's two full-backs often did not retreat in time, especially Roberto Carlos on the left. He often dribbled the ball forward but failed to do so in time. Pull back.”

In the visiting team's locker room, Gao Han was analyzing the situation in the first half and arranging tasks for the second half.

"He will be thirty-four soon. He is no longer the number one left back in the world back then. Maicon, you have to keep an eye on him in the second half and move forward decisively when you have the chance. Do you understand?" Gao Han pointed at Maicon and ordered. road.

"I understand, boss." Maicon nodded solemnly.

Roberto Carlos's problems are not limited to Real Madrid, but also to the Brazilian national team.

When playing against the French team in the World Cup in Germany, Carlos was a little blind. When Zidane took the free kick, he lazily bent down behind Henry to adjust his socks. As a result, no one was marking him. Henry scored easily.

This conceding goal caused the Brazilian national team to lose the game and leave the World Cup. Carlos was also besieged by Brazilian fans. Some even criticized him for match-fixing and was forced to leave the national team.

As for Real Madrid, Carlos also made many mistakes in La Liga this season, which led to Real Madrid's delay in renewing his contract. There is news that he will leave the Bernabeu after the end of this season.

But in this game, Capello continued to reuse him because he wanted to use his experience.

The performance of youth training youngster Miguel Torres was also unsatisfactory. Facing a team like Inter Milan, Capello finally chose to continue with the more experienced Carlos.

But heroes are dying, whether it is Robert Carlos or Salgado, they are no longer as brave as they used to be, so we can't blame Gao Han for launching an attack on these two points.

"Everyone remember, starting from the second half, as soon as the whistle blows, I want you to press hard and defeat Real Madrid's defense in one fell swoop, starting from the two wings, do you understand?"

"Understood!" the players responded in unison.

…………

…………

"The players from both teams returned to the playing field under the leadership of the referee."

"We saw that neither Real Madrid nor Inter Milan made substitution adjustments during the halftime break."

"This is Real Madrid coach Capello."

"And Inter Milan's head coach Gao Han."

When Gao Han walked out of the tunnel, there was an overwhelming boo from the entire Bernabeu Stadium.

"Real Madrid fans are booing Gao Han crazily. He should be the head coach that the home team fans hate the most, because his arrival always brings the grief of defeat to the fans."

"I wonder if Capello's team will repeat the mistakes of the previous teams in this game, in this sacred Bernabeu hall?"

Gao Han is already used to the boos from Real Madrid fans.

When he coached Atletico Madrid, the boos were louder than they are now, and when it was even more outrageous, some people even attacked their bus.

He has always regarded the boos from rival fans as encouragement to himself.

Standing on the sidelines and looking at Capello, Gao Han turned around and looked at the court intently.

Players from both teams have entered the stadium, exchanged venues, and set up their formations. The game is about to begin.

Gao Han also prepared skill cards in the coaching system and put them into use at any time.

He wanted to launch an attack at the beginning of the second half and catch Real Madrid off guard.

This is called treating the other person in his own way.

"After the two teams change sides, the game will start immediately."

"Real Madrid took the first kick in the second half."

Beep!

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially started.

"Van Nistelrooy kicked the ball to Raul and the game officially started."

"Real Madrid quickly passed the ball back into the midfield, and Inter Milan changed their tactics from the first half and pressed forward heavily."

"It looks like Gao Han is going to launch an attack."

Capello also noticed the changes in Inter Milan on the sidelines and immediately rushed to the sidelines, calling on the players to stay focused.

As soon as Inter Milan attacked, Real Madrid's test came.

But just when the Nerazzurri trident quickly rushed to the back line, Real Madrid quickly passed the ball and transferred it. Emerson passed the ball to Diarra in the middle, but Yaya Toure quickly bullied the African. compatriots.

Diarra was taken aback and quickly passed the ball to the left wing, hoping to move out of the opponent's pressing area.

Roberto Carlos on the left quickly stepped forward to receive Diarra's pass, but just when he stopped the ball, Inter Milan's right back crossed the center line and bullied him.

In an instant, two Brazilian full-backs formed a one-on-one offensive and defensive battle on the wing.

The entire Bernabeu erupted into a burst of exclamations.
