The suspense of the match had greatly diminished; Real Madrid displayed a rapid counterattack in the second half and scored three goals.
These three goals not only reversed the situation but also boosted their morale.
Borussia Dortmund truly didn't know how to proceed with the rest of the match; in fact, they seed sowhat stunned.
Attacking risked Real Madrid extending their lead, while defending simply ant waiting for death to arrive.
Whichever choice they made, they seed unable to escape the fate of losing.
They knew that playing against Real Madrid was an extrely difficult task, especially trying to win, which made it even harder.
However, they still threatened Real Madrid's goal several tis in the first half and took the lead with a goal, but after entering the second half, Real Madrid adjusted and scored consecutive goals, completely disorienting them.
Even Klopp, facing the sudden downturn in the situation, could not find any solution.
The match's outco was essentially decided; it was truly too difficult for Borussia Dortmund to turn it around.
As ti ticked by, Borussia Dortmund fans eagerly wanted to see a different outco, but the ball remained firmly controlled by Real Madrid.
Borussia Dortmund launched a few threatening attacks, but still struggled to make a breakthrough, and had already conceded a goal earlier.
When the ti reached 85 minutes, Borussia Dortmund fans basically understood that this match was beyond hope.
They could only think about the next leg of the match, away from ho.
But then again, failing to secure a victory at ho ant their chances of winning would be even lower when they ca to Real Madrid's ho.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, played steadily; they no longer attacked aggressively but instead, while maintaining control of the situation, continuously pressured Borussia Dortmund's backline, preventing their midfielders from breaking free and fully committing to offense.
In this way, the match ti was further consud.
The German comntator shook his head and sighed, saying,
"When we face Real Madrid, we must pay attention to their adjustnts to their overall state during the break between the first and second halves.
They are always able to adjust their state in a reasonable way, ultimately achieving their self-defined goals."
"When facing such a team, we must keep so trump cards hidden; at the very least, when facing such a situation, we need to take action instead of aimlessly following Real Madrid's rhythm."
"I cannot say that Borussia Dortmund's tactical reserves are insufficient, but compared to Real Madrid, they certainly haven't thought enough or prepared adequately."
"I have always believed that victory belongs to those who are prepared, and Real Madrid prepared more for this match, which allowed them to remain unshaken in the face of adversity and calmly complete the coback!"
"This is also precisely where Borussia Dortmund needs to learn."
Turning to look, the ti had already entered injury ti, which ant the match was almost over.
Borussia Dortmund players launched a desperate counterattack, each fiercely pushing forward; their minds were chaotic, and they didn't have a clear attacking strategy, but thinking of lobbing the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area, they could at least create scoring opportunities.
But their repeated lobs into the penalty area were not systematic passes, unable to create space or disrupt the defense.
Real Madrid players each held their positions, heading the ball out ti and again.
This also led to Borussia Dortmund's offense being completely ineffective; they didn't know how many tis they tried until Reus attempted a long-range shot, and then the sharp whistle echoed throughout the stadium.
Beep, beep, beep!
Three whistles sounded, and the match ended.
Reus gasped for air, turning his head to look at the scoreboard.
Borussia Dortmund 1:3 Real Madrid!
Under the massive score difference, Reus couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.
They had tried hard enough, but still couldn't overco Real Madrid, this great mountain.
Their performance in the first half was excellent, but in the second half, it beca very chaotic.
In contrast, Real Madrid remained calm and composed throughout the match, with a good balance of intensity.
Even when trailing, they patiently dragged the ga's rhythm into a situation favorable to them and delivered a fatal blow.
When the situation started to tilt towards Real Madrid, these guys would use their powerful offensive thods to score continuously, ultimately completing the coback.
"Great play!"
When Suker left the field, Zidane actively approached Suker and gave him a big hug.
This match was incredibly morale-boosting to watch.
Not just the coback after falling behind.
But also Suker's unstoppable form.
With three goals, Suker contributed two goals and one assist; Real Madrid's key player began to exert his strength gradually in the second half of the season, which ant that in addition to Real Madrid's overall performance, they also had an almost unsolvable superstar anchoring the team.
Once the situation turned unfavorable, Suker could completely break away from tactical constraints and continuously impact the wing he was on until he found a scoring position.
This style of play is effective everywhere.
Moreover, the opponent not only had to contain Suker but also had to consider the overall situation, ultimately leading to a more chaotic defense.
"I thought we had prepared enough, but from our performance in the second half, we still couldn't completely restrict Real Madrid's offense."
Reus appeared sowhat dejected facing the cara.
As Borussia Dortmund's goal scorer, he thought his goal had opened up hope for victory, but he didn't expect to be t with Real Madrid's continuous counterattacks.
Reus shook his head and cheered up, saying, "Of course, we shouldn't be too downcast now; instead, we should prepare for the next match.
Although it's an away ga, it doesn't an there's no hope.
We will learn from this match's experience and deliver a better performance in the next ga."
After speaking, Reus left, and the dia reporters naturally flocked to Real Madrid's side.
They wanted to catch Suker for an interview, but Suker ran too fast; before they could get there, Suker had already disappeared into the player tunnel, and the reporters could only sigh in disappointnt.
Suker returned to the locker room; the atmosphere was good, but so teammates were also discussing the issue of falling behind.
It wasn't that Real Madrid players were overly picky, but rather that they truly held themselves to very high standards.
In their predetermined tactics, falling behind was not supposed to happen; the goal conceded in the first half was indeed an unexpected event.
Of course, football matches are full of surprises, and it's impossible to prevent the opponent from scoring, but the goal itself, due to issues in their own defense, was very serious.
This ant that Real Madrid's backline still had vulnerabilities.
Ramos, Pepe, Srna, and others gathered together; these defenders actively discussed the root cause of that conceded goal.
They analyzed the specific circumstances of the match, but without video evidence, it was difficult to conduct a detailed analysis.
Ultimately, they decided that after returning, they would take the match video and dissect it fra by fra.
As for the other players, they were still very happy; they had secured an away victory.
Although the match deviated sowhat from their expectations, they ultimately achieved their goal and earned three points away from ho.
The next match will be at ho, and with the advantage of an away goal, their pressure will be relatively much smaller.
That evening, Ancelotti led Real Madrid players back to Spain.
They still needed to prepare for the League match on the weekend and would not stay in Germany for too long.
The next day, taking advantage of the morning break, Kaka ca to Suker's room.
Pato also ca with Kaka.
As soon as Suker saw Kaka's worried expression and Pato's excitent, he felt sothing was amiss.
As soon as Kaka entered the room, he pointed at Pato and said, "This guy wants to play midfield."
Suker was hardly surprised; Pato, this guy, would stir up trouble every now and then.
When he beca quiet, one had to be more careful, because he might be planning sothing even bigger.
"Play midfield? Do you have that talent?"
Suker said irritably.
A midfielder is the orchestrator; he needs not only skill but also brains.
Pato's technique was fine, and his physical condition was sufficient, but he lacked brains.
This guy's positioning in gas was good, but asking him to deliver a penetrating pass would be asking for his life.
He could beco a workhorse midfielder, but becoming an excellent midfield commander was absolutely impossible.
Therefore, Suker simply regarded Pato as acting up.
And that was indeed the case.
Pato looked at Suker and said unhappily, "I haven't even tried it, so why are you rejecting ?"
"Kaka also successfully transitioned, so why can't I?"
Suker looked at Pato, "You don't want to play as a forward anymore?"
Pato pouted.
If possible, he would also like to continue playing as a forward.
But the problem is, he is truly not a first-tier forward option at Real Madrid.
Suker and Bale firmly control the starting positions; Bale still has the possibility of challenging, but Suker is simply impossible to displace.
And for him to rise through this, it's even more difficult.
He doesn't want to leave Real Madrid.
But he also doesn't want to continue being a rotating substitute, so he can only think about transitioning to a midfielder like Kaka.
Moreover, a midfielder isn't unable to attack; once he plays well, he can completely take on a number 10 role.
Pato's thoughts were beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Most importantly, he needs to gain the approval of Suker and Kaka.
Pato has always been the younger brother to these two; the excellent resources and opportunities he receives at Real Madrid are all based on the support of Suker and Kaka.
Especially the forr; only with Suker's support will he have further possibilities.
But he knows that directly pestering Suker would definitely result in the word 'scram,' so he can only go pester Kaka, who has a relatively better temper.
When Kaka gets annoyed, he will co back to Suker. "Get lost!"
Suker waved his hand directly, "Playing so rubbish midfield!"
"I knew it would be like this," Pato muttered softly, then retorted, "But you have to try, right? What if? What if I have the talent?"
Suker continued to wave his hand, "Go pester the coach; if he agrees, I have no opinion!"
Hearing this, Pato's eyes lit up; Ancelotti is much easier to talk to than Suker.
In the afternoon, normal training began.
Everyone else was training, but Pato was pestering Ancelotti.
"Midfielder? Why do you want to transition to midfield?" Ancelotti had a headache.
The midfield position, to put it bluntly, is all about playing mind gas.
If you don't have enough cunningness, you simply can't play that position well.
Don't look at those midfielders playing so effortlessly; every movent, every pass, contains various strategic battles.
To put it simply, it's you calculating , and I calculating you.
Think ten steps ahead!
With a simpleton like Pato, playing midfield with his straightforward nature, Real Madrid would be led astray.
Ancelotti didn't know how to advise Pato, nor could he say, 'You're just a blockhead, not suitable for midfield,' could he?
At this mont, Zidane volunteered to step forward.
"I'll take him and train him."
Seeing Zidane step forward, Ancelotti imdiately beca happy.
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
He couldn't wait to get rid of this troubleso matter; Pato was unsuitable anyway.
Zidane also smiled and led Pato to another side of the field.
Zidane stepped on the ball and looked at Pato, asking, "What do you think is the most crucial thing about playing midfield?"
"Excellent technique, ball-carrying ability, overall vision, passing concealnt..."
Pato spoke articulately, but these things are the most common knowledge, easy to say but difficult to do.
"Co on, let's do behind-the-back evasion training!"
Pato said confidently, "I'm very good at evading."
To this, Zidane smiled, "You defend, I'll evade."
"Huh?" Pato was stunned.
Zidane raised an eyebrow, "Do you think midfielders don't have to defend?"
"Okay!" Pato could only nod in agreent.
Zidane stepped on the ball and said, "The rule is you can't tackle closely, but you must anticipate my turning direction and prevent from passing the ball, understand?"
Pato nodded, "Very simple!"
Zidane revealed a aningful smile and nodded, "Then let's try it!"
Pato quickly took up his stance, looking full of vigor.
And when Zidane made a move, Pato imdiately rushed forward.
But the next second, the ball was passed from Zidane's left side.
Pato looked at the ball rolling to the other side, stunned for a mont, then said unhappily, "There was no evasion move!"
"Why should I evade? You didn't rush forward, so I had ample ti to observe and then pass the ball."
Pato was sowhat annoyed at being rebuked and said loudly, "Again!"
This ti, Pato actively closed in.
But Zidane perford a feint with a step-over, once again shifting Pato's center of gravity to one side, while he himself evaded from the other side.
Watching Zidane successfully evade twice in a row, Pato was sowhat bewildered, feeling a bit confused about the situation.
On the other side of the fence, Suker and Kaka were sitting there watching this scene.
"I told you, he has no talent for playing midfield!" Kaka shook his head.
Suker: "He doesn't have the brain for it."
Pato completely exemplified what it ans to make a mistake and not learn from it.
He kept making mistakes, and even after several rounds, the errors from the previous rounds continued.
Even Zidane had let him off several tis, but this guy stubbornly kept at it, just not grasping the knack.
"How can he be so stupid!" Suker looked at Pato's aimless defensive stance, completely failing to grasp the opponent's habits.
Zidane could make any feint, and this guy would fall for it, completely lacking the thought, 'Is this a feint?'
After only half an hour of training, Zidane stopped directly.
"Pato, listen to , don't play midfield, absolutely do not think about transitioning to midfield!" Zidane said earnestly.
With Pato's brain and performance, if this guy transitioned to midfield, he would vomit out all the honors he had previously received.
By then, let alone establishing himself in a top club, whether he could even play in the Big Five Leagues would be a question.
Pato himself was also deeply struck; he hadn't expected it to be so complicated.
This was only the introductory stage of playing midfield, and he was already finding it unbearable.
Let alone playing mind gas with those top midfielders; he would be played to death without even knowing how he died.
Pato returned to the training ground in a daze, looking at Kaka and asking:
"Am I really not smart?"
Kaka grinned, "You're too simple-minded; your thoughts are too direct."
Suker rolled his eyes.
You could just say 'stupid,' but you had to use a different word for him.
Pato sighed, "Okay, I might really not be suitable for playing midfield."
Suker: "How about you transition to full-back? That's more reliable than midfield!"
Pato turned and walked away.
He couldn't play defender.
Not even full-back!
After sending off this big trouble, Kaka finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm thinking now, if I take Pato to Milan, and after I leave, you won't watch over him too much, I don't know what this guy will beco."
Kaka said to Suker.
Suker waved his hand, "I don't have ti to waste on him. Either you take him to Milan, or let him suffer so setbacks. This guy will never grow up unless he experiences so hardship."
Suker just felt that Kaka had protected Pato too well.
Since his ti in Milan, Pato had been Suker and Kaka's shadow, and along the way, this guy inherited Suker and Kaka's status at Milan, and then followed them all the way to Real Madrid.
At Real Madrid, relying on the abilities of the two and Ancelotti's care, this guy had a smooth sailing.
He truly hadn't experienced locker room turmoil, nor had he been isolated or suppressed.
Because of this, his thinking was also a bit too simple.
But Suker wouldn't spend too much thought on him. Kaka wanted to protect Pato, but he himself was already in the twilight of his career and couldn't provide much help.
Yet he hoped Pato could mature so that after he retired, he could take over his responsibilities in the National Team.
But looking at Pato, he didn't seem like soone who could handle things.
It would be good enough if he didn't cause trouble!
"So, when I suggested Thiago Silva be the second captain, Pato even had a falling out with over it."
In terms of seniority and fa, Pato indeed surpassed Thiago Silva.
Even during his ti at Milan, Thiago Silva's status at the ti was not as good as his, a core player.
But in the appointnt of the National Team captain, Pato failed to obtain the corresponding status, which indeed made him dissatisfied.
But this is precisely one of the reasons why Suker dislikes Pato.
This guy always fails to understand himself; with that idiotic brain, could he be a good captain?
If he were to beco captain, internal problems would likely arise, and this was also one of Kaka's concerns.
