Chapter 485

After the fierce competition in the first half, the players were all out of breath. Every second of rest time was very precious.

In order to cool down, the staff stuffed ice packs directly into the players' clothes, which were in direct contact with their skin, so that they could quickly recover their strength.

Guardiola, standing in front of the tactical board, described the tactical arrangements for the second half with a serious expression.

He pointed at the mark on the tactical board with his finger, and said firmly and quickly: "In the second half, we need to better control the midfield, especially Li Lei and De Bruyne. You two must constantly pull the opponent's defense line and look for gaps."

Guardiola pointed to Real Madrid's defense line and continued: "Pepe and Ramos cooperate very well, but they also have weaknesses."

"Li Lei, you must continue to use your speed and flexibility to switch between the wing and the middle, pull their defense line, and make them unable to concentrate."

Then he said to the players on the back line: "Otamendi and Kompany, you have to pay attention to Real Madrid's counterattack, especially the speed of Ronaldo and Bale."

"Our full-backs must also return to defense in time and not give them too much space."

Finally, Guardiola looked at the whole team and his voice was full of encouragement: "We have come this far, only 45 minutes away from realizing our dream."

"Stay focused, trust each other, we can do it!"

At this time, the players had no opinions on the coach's arrangements. They just wanted to recover some physical strength as soon as possible and prepare for the second half of the game.

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Keane and Jones were reviewing and summarizing the first half of the game.

"The first half of the game was really full of sparks and passion," Keane said.

"Real Madrid took the lead early with Bale's free kick assist and Ramos' goal, which gave them the initiative in the early stages of the game."

Jones nodded in agreement: "Yes, but Manchester City did not panic after losing the ball, but instead acted more actively."

"Li Lei's performance was particularly outstanding. His breakthroughs and passes in the front court doubled the pressure on Real Madrid's defense."

"In the end, he created a penalty in the penalty area and personally equalized the score. This was undoubtedly an important turning point in the first half."

Keane added: "The midfield competition between the two sides was very fierce. Manchester City took advantage of their personnel advantage and gradually took control of the midfield in the second half, which laid the foundation for them to create more offensive opportunities."

"The second half of the game will definitely be more exciting, let's wait and see."

Compared to Sky Sports' professional commentary, Gao Yi's live broadcast room was more wild and unrestrained.

"Oh my God! Li Lei's spoon penalty is really amazing!" Gao Yi said excitedly.

"This is the Champions League final, how dare he kick like that! Pepe's kick was obviously aimed at the person, not the ball, there is no doubt that the referee awarded a penalty."

The comments in the live broadcast room were also very lively:

"Li Lei is awesome! My idol!"

"Real Madrid really met its match this time."

"The penalty was well awarded, Pepe should have been given a yellow card."

"Gao Yi, the anchor, continues to comment, we want to see Li Lei score another goal!"

"Come on, Manchester City, the Champions League title is yours!"

Gao Yi continued to say while looking at the comments: "Brothers, keep your passion, this is the charm of football! The second half of the game will definitely be more exciting, are you all ready?"

The fans discussed enthusiastically in the live broadcast room, constantly swiping the screen to express their support for Li Lei and Manchester City.

The interaction between Gao Yi and the fans filled the entire live broadcast room with joy and expectations.

In the locker room, Li Lei was also discussing with his companions how to deal with Real Madrid in the second half while taking a break.

De Bruyne, Aguero and Sterling sat together, discussing tactics in a low voice.

Li Lei spoke first: "In the second half, we need to speed up the pace, especially when passing through the midfield, so that Real Madrid's defense line has no time to organize."

"De Bruyne, your dispatch in the midfield is crucial."

De Bruyne nodded and said: "Yes, we had good control of the ball in the midfield just now, but we need to send the ball to the front court faster."

"Li Lei, your breakthrough is our killer, create more one-on-one opportunities."

Aguero added: "Once you break through to the front court, I will try to open up space and attract their defensive attention."

"Although Real Madrid's defense is strong, if we can pass quickly, they will lose sight of one thing while focusing on another."

Sterling also interrupted: "I will create opportunities on the wing, especially using speed and technology to break through their full-backs, providing you with opportunities to cross or cut inside."

Li Lei continued: "We also need to pay attention to Real Madrid's counterattack, heThey are also very fast, especially Ronaldo and Bale. Once we press forward, the defense must be especially careful. "

De Bruyne nodded in agreement: "Yes, we need a close connection between the front and back fields and cannot give them too many counterattack opportunities."

"We have to cut off their passing routes in the midfield."

Aguero patted Li Lei on the shoulder: "Believe us, as long as we maintain this state, we will definitely find a chance to score in the second half."

Sterling also smiled and said: "That's right, brothers, let's fight for this Champions League trophy together! ”

The four encouraged each other and nodded, preparing for the second half of the game.

Compared with the heated discussions and clear tactical deployment in the Manchester City locker room, the Real Madrid locker room seemed more dull and depressing.

Zidane stood in front of the tactical board and looked at his players seriously.

The penalty in the first half made the players feel bad, especially Ronaldo, whose face was full of tension and anxiety.

"Everyone, calm down," Zidane said.

"We still have a chance. The performance in the first half was not bad, but we must be more cautious in defense."

"Pepe, you have to pay more attention to your movements and don't give the opponent any more chances."

Pepe nodded, with a hint of apology on his face: "Yes, coach. I will be more careful."

Zidane continued: "The control of the midfield needs to be strengthened."

"Kroos, Modric, you have to pass the ball faster and don't give Manchester City's midfield too many interception opportunities. "

"We need to advance to the front court faster."

Kroos and Modric looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

Modric said: "Understood, we will attack more quickly."

Zidane turned his eyes to Ronaldo: "Cristiano, we need your goal."

"In the second half, you need to participate in the attack more actively and use your speed and technology to break through their defense."

Ronaldo nodded. Although he was still a little nervous, he knew he had to stand up: "I will, coach."

Zidane continued: "Bale, Benzema, you should also cooperate more with Ronaldo, open up Manchester City's defense and create more opportunities for him."

Bale and Benzema answered in unison: "Understood."

Zidane finally emphasized: "The most important thing is not to let Manchester City's attack succeed."

"Our defense must be tighter and we can't give them any chances."

"Remember, we are Real Madrid and we want to win this game!"
