From 1:0 to 1:2, in just three minutes, Manchester United seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell. Manchester United players seemed to be depressed and depressed.

This is not surprising. From being one goal ahead to one goal behind, everyone will feel uncomfortable.

So did Ye Su.

He knows Real Madrid are strong this season, maybe even stronger than Manchester United.

In this Real Madrid team, almost all the players are at the age of playing. Their starting eleven, Navas is 30 years old, Marcelo is 29 years old, Ramos is 31 years old, Varane is 24 years old, Casemiro is 25 years old, Modric is 31 years old, Kroos is 27 years old, Is Coe is 25 years old, Benzema is 29 years old, and Ronaldo is 32 years old. They are all at their peak and have sufficient game experience. The two who came off the bench, Asensio is still a teenager, and Bell, who is about to turn 28, is also in the golden age of his career.

You know, in another time and space, Zidane led this luxurious Galaxy Fleet, not only broke the curse of being unable to defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League, but even became the fourth team in the history of the Champions League to win the Champions League for three consecutive times. !

Many people say that Real Madrid is not an invincible team. There are many accidental factors in their three consecutive Champions League championships, but the result is more than everything. They have achieved a great miracle that even Barcelona, ​​​​known as the universe team, could not achieve. Then they are worthy of recognition.

In this time and space, although Ye Su led Manchester United to snatch the championship from Real Madrid last season, this will not detract from the strength of Real Madrid.

Even because of the loss of the championship last season, this team has a stronger fighting spirit this season. Especially after Manchester United scored the first goal, facing the fear of losing to Manchester United twice in a row, Real Madrid exploded with huge energy. This is why Real Madrid just scored two goals in three minutes!

Real Madrid in these three minutes really exploded!

………………

Ye Su's face was livid.

In fact, Ye Su wasn't as angry as his expression showed. His anger is for the players to see, to tell them: I'm angry! Very serious consequences!

From the bottom of his heart, he was not surprised. When a team has become a habit of winning, and winning a championship has become a habit, it will slowly produce inertia.

In Ye Su's view, inertia is not a purely derogatory term, but a neutral term. No one can be highly focused all the time, consistently. A team with more than 20 players is even more impossible.

Especially when the team takes the lead after scoring a goal,

The heart that had been tense before was relaxed. Although some players will remind themselves at this time that it is not time to relax, and a 1:0 lead is the most dangerous, their nerves and bodies are the most honest, and they will take the initiative. relax.

This also led to the result of Manchester United's defense that seemed to have no problem just now, but was almost blown away by Real Madrid's two goals in three minutes.

Ye Su even felt that some Manchester United players had developed a sense of pride this season. This was a kind of "after the climax, there is no taste" kind of sage moment.

This state can be referred to Inter Milan, which won the Triple Crown in 2010.

In the past 2016, Manchester United won an unprecedented seven annual championships, which can be called the greatest miracle in the history of football. The nerves of the players were stimulated to the limit and excited to the limit.

Now, the enthusiasm has faded and the performances of the players have naturally started to slip.

Although in this season, Manchester United's performance does not seem to have experienced a major decline on the surface, and even created a record of unbeaten championships in the Premier League and a new record for points in the five major leagues.

This is not to say that the players are still in the strongest state of fighting spirit, but because the strength of this Manchester United team is indeed very strong, and most of the players are still young. Unlike Inter Milan, which won the Triple Crown, the main force is A group of veterans in their thirties are almost in a state of wanting nothing.

Ye Su believes that this is a kind of inertia, or to put it more bluntly and appropriately, it is fatigue: physical fatigue, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, and even fatigue from what he hears and sees. The media say Manchester United every day The undefeated record of Manchester United, the three consecutive Premier League titles of Manchester United, the points record of Manchester United... The players are both excited and a little tired.

Ye Su understands this, but it doesn't mean he is willing to accept defeat, especially now that they are on the stage of the Champions League final, attracting the attention of the whole world.

At this moment, Ye Su also knew very well that the morale of the team must not be let down. If this breath is let down, this game really has nothing to do with it!

So, Ye Su signaled Carrick to arrange for the players on the bench to warm up, and he was going to make personnel adjustments again. And he himself got up from the bench, walked to the sidelines, and made a steady gesture to the players.

This is the time when the players are most confused and helpless, and they need their own backbone to give them the most clear instructions.

And he, who always likes to sit on the bench, now stands uncharacteristically on the sidelines, showing an attitude: he wants to fight with the players!

………………

After the game restarted, under Ye Su's instructions, Manchester United did not launch a crazy counterattack, but continued to defend firmly to prevent the demoralized Real Madrid from taking the opportunity to score again, then Manchester United would really have no chance.

Three minutes later, in the 77th minute of the game, taking advantage of a dead ball, Ye Su made the second personnel adjustment of the game, and the teenager Martial replaced Vardy!

In this game, Vardy spent a lot of energy on the defensive end. After 70 minutes of the game, when Manchester United counterattacked again, his speed was not as fast as before, and his breakthrough was not as sharp as before.

Although he has only played in the top league for three seasons, Vardy is actually a 30-year-old veteran!

Originally, Ye Su planned to replace Ibrahimovic at the same time, but considering Ibrahimovic's fighting spirit and leaving room for unexpected situations, Ye Su let Ibrahimovic stay on the field.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Manchester United not putting Harry Kane on the bench. If Ibrahimovic is replaced, Manchester United lacks a striker who can act as a fulcrum.

Although Rooney has a heart to play as a center forward, under the current circumstances, it is difficult for him to perform well in the center position.

Unlike Ronaldo's gradual transformation into a center forward, Rooney, who has no advantage in height, is getting older and his physical impact is not as good as before. It is difficult to take on the task of being the bridgehead of Manchester United.

Speaking of the changes in the roles of Rooney and Ronaldo, it is indeed very interesting: the two now have a transition from when they were partners at Manchester United. The original center gradually changed into a winger, and The original winger was transformed into a de facto center forward.

………………

After Real Madrid reversed the score, the situation on the field also completely changed.

After Manchester United completed the substitution and withstood the subsequent wave of shocks from Real Madrid, they gradually became the dominant offensive side on the field, while Real Madrid began to play a defensive counterattack.

This is a helpless but inevitable change.

Real Madrid wanted to continue to take the initiative to attack, but after they took the initiative to attack for more than 70 minutes, except for Bale and Asensio who came off the bench, the players basically reached the limit of their physical fitness.

Even the onslaught during the period of scoring two goals in a row was forced by the situation, and they were desperate.

Now that the score is reversed, the mental state of the Real Madrid players is very similar to that of Manchester United before. Although reason tells them that they must remain vigilant, it is best to continue to attack and take away Manchester United in one wave, but the physical reaction makes it difficult for them to do so.

Coupled with Manchester United's strengthening offense, they had to switch to a state of defensive counterattack.

As for Manchester United, the players want to continue to maintain the previous defensive counterattack state, but the fact is that it is not allowed, because they are already behind in the score, and they can't do without taking the initiative to attack, unless they accept the outcome of the loss.

Therefore, after stabilizing the psychological turmoil after losing two goals in a row, Manchester United took the initiative to attack.

………………

This time, Ye Su's substitutions and adjustments did not yield any miraculous results.

After reversing the score 2:1, Real Madrid took the initiative to attack for a while. In the absence of further results, Zidane also adjusted Real Madrid's tactics. They retreated very resolutely.

Stimulated by the Champions League championship, it can even be said that the three armies have used their lives to describe Real Madrid's defensive determination.

Although Real Madrid has always regarded itself as a gentleman, the defense style of Real Madrid led by Ramos is very fierce.

In the 81st minute of the game, the score was still 1:2.

After being shoveled to the ground by Ramos, De Bruyne kicked for a while, but he didn't feel very good, so he could only apply to leave the field.

Ye Su's face was livid, he was really angry this time. But there was nothing he could do, save for Bruno Fernandes to come on in an emergency warm-up.

In addition, the referee did not issue a card to Ramos, but only gave a verbal warning, which also made Ye Su very angry.

The referee's mind is obvious, Ramos already has a yellow card, and he will have to go down if he receives another card. This undoubtedly broke the balance of power on the field, and he will definitely receive a lot of criticism after the game.

However, as the head coach of Manchester United, Ye Su couldn't go back and wonder what the referee was thinking. It would be best if Ramos got a second yellow card and was sent off, that would be the best result for Manchester United.

In addition, Ye Su was angry and he was forced to use up the third substitution spot, and he could no longer make adjustments to the team lineup later. This was undoubtedly very disadvantageous in such a high-level game.

The appearance of Bruno Fernandez did not quickly change the situation on the field, and Manchester United was still unable to score.

As the clock ticked down, and as the clock ticked by, a cloud began to cast a cloud over even the most optimistic United supporter: Is the team going to lose today's Champions League final?
