 Real Madrid dressing room.

At this time, the Real Madrid players were not impatient or angry, but took the time to rest.

Because being behind by one goal in the first half is nothing to Real Madrid players who are used to seeing big waves.

In the two seasons when they won the Champions League consecutively last season and the season before last, they often entered the locker room with a trailing score in the first half.

But they were never afraid because they were confident and sure that they could come back in the second half.

Experts have always said that Real Madrid is easy to lose focus and is not so focused when playing in the league, but when playing in the Champions League, Real Madrid seems to have switched to another form.

But now, in the European Super Cup, it is obvious that Real Madrid's players are slow to enter the game because of the first game of the season.

Zidane walked into the locker room without saying much.

After a few brief words, the players were allowed to rest.

In Zidane's view, although Ajax's defense defended the game in the first half, they will definitely lose as their physical fitness declines.

After the second half of the game officially started, Real Madrid didn't seem to have made any changes. They still played according to the rhythm of the first half.

Ten Hag knows that the second half of the game is very dangerous, but the 1-0 score is indeed not safe. If he starts to defend now, there is a high probability that he cannot defend it.

Ten Hag was hesitant. He wanted to make a substitution, but after looking at the people in his hands, it was not necessary to change to a winger. Link performed so well and even scored a goal. As a right winger, what Ziyech can provide is

With his ability to break through and pass the ball, other right wingers really can't keep up with him.

In the end, Ten Hag directly rejected the idea of ​​replacing a forward player.

He is going to replace De Jong with a defensive midfielder in the 60th minute.

In De Jong’s game, Ten Hag gave him a lot of trust.

In this game, he performed well, but when facing Real Madrid, his performance was not enough.

At this time, De Jong on the field did not know that he was selected by Ten Hahe and was the first to be replaced.

He is now concentrating on defense.

In fact, in Ten Hag's double midfielder tactical system, Schone is responsible for defending and connecting the midfield and backfield, while De Jong is responsible for connecting the midfield and interception.

But now De Jong is exhausted from just intercepting.

How can I still have the energy to connect the midfield and frontcourt to pass the ball?

In his heart, he feels that he is not very suitable to be a pure defensive player in a double midfielder.

After all, Schonez was wearing the No. 10 jersey when he debuted. Not to mention that in the Eredivisie, Ajax, as a giant Eredivisie team, did not need a full-time defensive midfielder when playing against most teams.

, the attack is over.

But when it comes to the European competition, Schone has to be a single defensive midfielder. But after all, he played in the Europa League last season, and his level is limited. In addition, I have to admit that Ajax's Europa League signing is very good.

I didn't encounter a particularly strong team, so I went through all the way. I don't feel any dissatisfaction with being a single midfielder, but now that I have a double midfielder system, my responsibilities are more clear.

Moreover, we are playing in the Champions League this season, and the difficulty level is completely different.

So the resistance in the heart of the house is already there.

He doesn't want to be a pure defensive midfielder.

He played very hard in this game, but it didn't stop him from wanting to play defensive midfielder.

If you work hard in your movements and are not mentally focused, you will easily miss the ball.

In the 59th minute of the second half, Real Madrid launched a wave of attacks.

A very simple advance. Casemiro successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Kroos. Kross advanced with the ball and passed it to Modric in the middle.

After Modric took the ball, Van de Beek defended, and then strode forward. De Jong rushed up, trying to intercept this route.

But Modric changed direction and passed De Jong.

Next, we will defend inside the house.

However, Scherne was not highly focused at this time, and his position was to the right. Modric spotted this position, and shot a ball through the middle, where Scherne was supposed to be defending.

In the frontcourt, Benzema received the ball in a position that was not offside, stood at the top of the penalty area, and volleyed. Onana fought hard to save the ball.

But the ball was saved from the left side of the penalty area. Marcelo was in that position at this time. Marcelo looked at the ball and before the ball hit the ground, he volleyed with one kick.

The ball went in.

1 to 1.

"Real Madrid's fierce attack finally brought a goal, and now the score is equalized, Real Madrid 1 to Ajax."

"Ajax needs to think of something now. Real Madrid has been attacking in the second half. If this continues, they will still lose goals. The problem now is that Ajax has no counterattack."

"There is no way. If Ajax's midfielder cannot intercept the ball, it cannot launch a counterattack. If Ajax wants to make personnel changes, it should make changes to the double midfielder positions in the midfield."

After Ten Hag saw the ball entering his own net, he turned angrily and yelled towards the bench.

Then he called assistant coach Mitchell.

"Call Sim back and replace him."

Then, at the 61st minute, the fourth official on the sidelines put up a substitution card.

Sime de Jong comes on, Frenkie de Jong comes off.

After De Jong saw his name on the substitution card, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he did not dare to stop and jogged off the field.

Ten Hahe walked over and patted De Jong on the shoulder.

"You performed very well today, but the team has to change its playing style now. Come cheer for the team on the bench."

De Jong nodded, took the clothes handed by the staff, and clapped with his teammates on the bench one by one.

Suddenly he saw some teammates standing up and looking towards the field in panic.

He subconsciously looked back at the field.

At this time on the court, Benzema went solo.

Behind him, only Dericht was pursuing.

When Benzema ran to the top of the penalty area, he took off his foot directly.

A blast shot and the ball hit the net again.

Real Madrid scored two goals in 5 minutes and reversed the score.

The moment De Jong saw the ball hit the net, he sat down on the bench.

It was the players of Real Madrid who were celebrating on the court.

Lin Kedi, who stood in the center circle and chased after the ball hard before stopping when he saw the ball hit the net, lowered his head.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

"Constantly conceding goals in a short period of time is very dangerous for Ajax at this time, because they must unify their thinking. After the restart, should they attack to equalize the score, or should they defend first and wait for a counterattack?

."

"Yes, many times the continuous conceding of goals is caused by the team's inconsistent thinking in a short period of time."

"Oh! We saw that Ajax was about to make another substitution on the sidelines, and Kluivert was standing on the sidelines. Oh, Kluivert is playing as a winger——"

The meaning of He Wei's words was very clear, but his words had not yet finished.

"Oh! Kluivert came on, replaced by Dolberg. Link is still on the court!"

At this time, Zhang Lu responded quickly.
