Chapter 1116 Try Long Shot
Benitez really did not expect that Valencia would make such a high-intensity press on Harvey Alonso in the first half of the second half, which made it impossible for his side to launch an attack. This was something he did not guess during the intermission.
The direct result was that Real Madrid's first wave of offense did not have any effect. Instead, it almost caused Valencia to launch a wave of quick counterattacks. Fortunately, Casillas was fully prepared this time.
The rhythm of the game in the second half was still controlled by Valencia. Compared with the game in the first half, their passing became more cautious, which means that they left Real Madrid with much less chance to counterattack, and also allowed Real Madrid's superstars to increase futile runs.
Benitez put Di Maria on the field in the hope that his speed could help Real Madrid in offense. As a result, more physical energy was consumed in defense after the start of the game. In addition, his physical energy was not particularly good. He has almost kept full attendance this season, and his physical condition is not ideal.
Therefore, when the game lasted less than 10 minutes, he showed physical exhaustion.
This change made Benitez at a loss, because only he knew the importance of Di Maria in the team's tactical system.
If it must be used for competitions, then Di Maria's role in the team can definitely be ranked in the top three.
This shows the importance of Di Maria in Benitez's tactical system.
But it was such an obvious player who was physically overdrawn, so Benitez had to temporarily adjust the team's tactics.
Two minutes later, Benitez simply replaced Di Maria with an Illarramendi, taking Harvey Alonso's position and taking charge of the team's offensive organization.
It's just that the change in this choice is also not obvious. Harvey Alonso is already a bit older, and his physical confrontation and speed have dropped greatly. The forward organization is competent, but the forward movement with the ball seems a bit out of sync.
Fortunately, Benitez's tactics in the second half only need to keep the goal clean, otherwise his substitution will definitely be criticized by countless commentators on the spot.
On the contrary, Illarramendi's role is more obvious. His abundant physical fitness can cover a large backcourt area. In the words of the Real Madrid TV commentator: "The only highlight of Benitez's substitutions in the second half was to let Illararamendi play. He is like a bulldozer in the backcourt, allowing Valencia's offensive players to pass back frequently."
With the strengthening of Illarramendi's defense, Real Madrid's overall defense can be improved qualitatively. Coupled with Xavi Alonso and Khedira, the defense has become invincible.
Even if Ai Luo wants to use his super personal ability to create opportunities, it is difficult, so Valencia's offense is in trouble.
However, the Valencia offensive players on the field did not show any impatience, but organized the offense more patiently.
In this way, the second half of the 2013-2014 season finals fell into a stalemate.

In the blink of an eye, the game entered 65 minutes, that is, 10 minutes into the second half, and the score on the court remained unchanged, still 1:1
Although there was no change in the score, the cheers erupting over the Stadium of Light still showed no signs of weakening. Fans from both sides were cheering for the struggling players on the field without any slack.
Especially the Valencia fans, they are witnesses of historical legends, and their performance is extremely crazy when the team has won the Champions League four consecutive times.
Of course, the Chinese fans who came to watch the game were also crazy, because there were three Chinese players on the field in this game.
Next month's World Cup will be held in Brazil. It is an indescribable super feeling to see three Chinese players in the final of the world's top UEFA Champions League.
In addition, Ai Luo, Wang Xiaolei and Zhang Linpeng all performed very well in this game, and they are the key players of the game. All these performances have given the Chinese people a face.
You must know that seven or eight years ago, everyone except the Chinese would say...Chinese football, no!
But now, as long as fans who pay attention to football, they will say one thing when they see Chinese people...Chinese football, Very-Good! !
In this general environment, more and more Chinese fans are watching games with Chinese players. For example, in this Champions League final, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 8000 Chinese fans.

When the game entered the 10th and [-]th minute, Valencia made the first substitution adjustment in the game, replacing Isco with Cazorla, who had just returned from injury, to increase the team's midfield organization ability.
This substitution adjustment is very obvious. Cazorla's playing is very good at sharing the organizational pressure of James Rodriguez. Compared with Isco, who is better at dribbling, Cazorla's indicators are more balanced, and his defensive enthusiasm and ability to run back and forth are stronger.
Next, the pressure on Real Madrid will be huge, because Cazorla's playing will minimize Illarramendi's role.
In addition, Jordi Alba and Azpilicueta pressed forward a lot, and they were wide apart, standing close to the two sidelines respectively.
In this case, Real Madrid's two full-backs Marcelo and Zhang Linpeng had to take care of their respective wing defenses, and this situation also directly led to the distraction of Real Madrid's defensive attention.
Whether it is Cazorla or Modric, both have strong pass organization and scheduling skills.
As long as they pass the ball to the full-backs, and then the full-backs attract the attention of the full-backs and immediately cross, that is to say, Aiello or David Silva, who get the ball in the two ribs, will temporarily get the chance to single out Real Madrid's midfielder.
Therefore, Real Madrid's goal has become dangerous. If Casillas is not in excellent condition, it is estimated that the score has been opened.
In this regard, Hyde, the commentator of Valencia's first sports channel in the live commentary, said excitedly: "That's it, this is the game we want to see. We must make full use of Ai's personal ability to help him distract Real Madrid's defensive attention, so as to get a single-handed chance!"
As soon as the words fell, Casillas' goal kick was pushed out by Godin, the football was won by Modric, and Valencia got another chance to attack.
The football quickly transitioned from the feet of full-back Jordi Alba to the feet of Aiello. Illararamendi and Benzema hurriedly moved over. As a result, Aiello broke through with a forced acceleration, and Xavi Alonso had to come to defend.
But at this moment, Ai Luo suddenly swung his right foot 35 meters away from the door and tried a long shot!
