Jose used a substitution, but Benitez was useless because the game was a striker, and Liverpool's midfield and backcourt were still complete. He was just regretting why he had to pin his hopes on Bellamy, a bastard. He was sent off without any effect, making his adjustment and preparation during the break become useless...

However, this bastard still played some role. At least Pepe was over. Liverpool was not in a bad situation. After one person was missing, Mallorca's formation would not be so impeccable. Liverpool's chances might become more.

After Klose was out, Mallorca only had one forward left in the frontcourt, but their influence was not particularly great. After all, there was one less forward on the opponent and one less counterattack point, which made Ram and Macon no longer have any worries when they inserted into the attack. Kaka began to run more actively, constantly playing some cooperation with Torres through forward insertion and involvement. Mallorca continued to suppress the scene and continued to attack!

Liverpool continues to shrink their defense. They firmly believe that Mallorca's offense cannot last too long. As long as Mallorca's attack is slightly slowed down, they may complete a counterattack. After all, the disadvantage of a ball is nothing...

The fact seems to be the same. Mallorca's suppression offense is not as powerful and impeccable as before. Liverpool can often attack through the midfield, delaying Mallorca's offense and creating some opportunities. Of course, this will also make Mallorca's counterattack more threatening, but at this time Liverpool has no time to take care of it. Being able to equalize the score is a victory for them now!

Pennant's breakthrough on the side was tackled by Ram, and Ram received a yellow card. Then Kaka played two consecutive counterattacks. Both times were Alonso's pass from the middle to instigate, one was misjudged as offside, and the other was directly knocked down by Mascherano. Mascherano also received a yellow card. The game had already begun to enter the last twenty-five minutes and began to gradually develop towards a white-hot direction!

"Well, what makes us happy is that after both sides were sent off, the game not only did not become dull, but was a little more relaxed than before. The pace of offense and defense is constantly accelerating, and Liverpool's offense has also begun to increase. Now who wins and who loses is not necessarily..."

Benitez used the second substitution quota, and Cowell replaced Crouch. Crouch now has no effect in counterattacks and positional battles. He was stared firmly by Matthias and could only barely be a bridgehead in counterattacks. In positional battles, it was difficult for him to grab a header under the defense of Matthias and Mex. As for the ground ball, Mallorca's defense at the front of the penalty area is also very strong...

After Cowell came on the court, this shows the necessity of Mex playing. Cowell is an offensive player who is good at skill. Matthias may still have some troubles in dealing with him, but Mex did not have such trouble. In defense, Mallorca also has enough personnel.

Jose looked at his watch and now it was the 67th minute of the game. The scene is still in a stalemate. He doesn't want to continue like this, because if he just leads one goal, Liverpool may be able to break out in the final stage and equalize the score. By then, Liverpool will not be suppressed so easily.

Jose's tactics in this game are ultimately only one word, that is suppression. He knows the Liverpool team. In the history he knows, Liverpool after the 21st century is not a top team, but under the leadership of Benitez, they can always play some surprising reversal styles. The 2005 Champions League final is an example, and there are several times in England's domestic cup matches that have also completed major reversals in places that are not favored...

In fact, these reversals are closely related to one person, that is, Gerald. In the 2005 Champions League final, it was Gerald's goal that sounded the clarion call for Liverpool's counterattack. In a FA Cup game, it was also when he was behind that Gerald helped Liverpool win the final championship with two unreasonable long shots...

So in all aspects, Jose is suppressing Gerald. If he suppresses Gerald, he can suppress Liverpool's magic. Whether it is strengthening the midfield or suppressing the offense, it is all about completing this tactical goal. The goal is now well completed, but it is not enough. He still needs a goal and the goal that crushed Liverpool in the end!

So he looked around the bench and then shouted: "Ronnie, go warm up!"

Ronaldo has been sitting quietly on the bench since the beginning of the game. No one knows what he is thinking at this time. In the entire Mallorca team, he may be the one who most desires for the Champions League championship. After all, Barack is the starter...

He longs for the Champions League, but he also hopes to play in the finals. However, when Pepe left, he felt that he was unlikely to play. After all, what Mallorca seems to need more stability now...

But at this time, Jose called his name and called his general!

This shout immediately made Ronaldo feel as if he was electrocuted. He immediately jumped up from the bench, couldn't wait to take off the thin coat, and then rushed out...

He has always been well prepared for sneakers, which shows how eager Ronaldo is for this final.

Jose smiled slightly. A player with desire would often be more useful in this situation.

The players of Mallorca also looked at Ronaldo running out with a smile. They all know how eager Ronaldo is for the Champions League championship, and they also understand Ronaldo's desire. It has to be said that Ronaldo and Barack who joined this season have played an extremely positive role in Mallorca, allowing them to know how happy it is to play football in a team like Mallorca - the championship that players of Barack and Ronaldo are extremely eager for, but we have already won so many...

After Ronaldo came back from warm-up, Jose pulled over Ronaldo and said to him: "Ronnie, you take the field to replace Fernando. We are still single forwards. You are the only forward in the offense. Maybe you won't get much help when counterattacking, but their defenders are already very tired. Seize the opportunity and kill the game!"

"No problem, boss, look at me!" Ronaldo said confidently. In this case, he was quite confident because Liverpool must press forward next time, and there will be a lot of gaps in the backcourt, which is exactly his favorite situation.

Although I am old, my explosive power is reduced and my knees are covered in scars, I am still the Ronaldo who can create infinite possibilities with space!

"Be careful not to get hurt." This is Jose's last advice to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo nodded, and then followed the assistant coach to prepare for the field.

Natal stood beside Jose and said with some concern: "Jose, Ronnie's physical condition is not particularly good at this time, and his knees are already under a lot of pressure. In such a game, Liverpool's defenders will definitely be red-eyed. If he is injured..."

"If he was not allowed to play, he would not be happy even if he won this Champions League." Jose did not look back, but said with his back to Natal, "For Ronaldo now, what he wants is the Champions League he won with his own performance, not anything else."

When he talked about this, Jose's eyes were a little confused: "This is a player with a very bad fate, but he still won a lot of honors. Now he is just a shortage of such a Champions League. If he does not contribute in this process, he will be even more regretful than not."

Jose turned his head and smiled: "Besides, avoid playing for possible injuries? That would be no Ronaldo!"

Natal couldn't help but shake his head. At this time, Jose's words were not like what a coach said, but like what a fan said...

Torres ran off the field panting and hugged Ronaldo. When he was the only striker left, he ran a lot more than before, which also made his physical fitness consume quickly - this is how a single striker is, consuming much more physical energy than a double striker...

Ronaldo leaned over and stroked the lawn, then ran to the court.

Seeing Ronaldo running to the stadium, Benitez's expression changed. He knew that Ronaldo must be Jose when he came on the court at this time. However, even if he knew this, he didn't have much solution. Liverpool's defenders had been running for a long time, and under Mallorca's suppression of the offense, they were also in a state of high mental tension. It was difficult to keep an eye on Ronaldo, whether it was Agre or Carragher...

After thinking for a long time, he made the third substitution quota, replacing Finnan with full-back Aveloa. This is a new force, his running speed and physical fitness are not bad. With him, Liverpool's defense line will appear more stable. However, just using the third substitution quota, Benitez was also full of reluctance, but there was no way. Who made him not as good as Jose? Before, Mallorca had the advantage. He was forced to make a replacement in advance, and then he changed to Jose and changed the other until his trump card was forced out.

Just like Jose is holding a king, one 2 and one k in his hand, Benitez is a little king, one a and one q in his hand. Originally, Benitez could use tactical adjustments to play better results when cards are not good, but he was forced to first get a q, and then he was pushed out by Jose comfortably one k and one 2. At this time, Benitez could only passively be beaten...

"This bastard doesn't give me any chance!"

Benitez roared in his heart. From the beginning of the game to the middle of the game, Jose could be said to have no chance for Benitez, crushing step by step, just like two armies confronting each other. Benitez could only hope that Jose would divide his troops and then constantly weaken his combat effectiveness and gain opportunities. However, Jose did not divide his troops and directly suppressed the past, responding to changes in the same way, expanding his advantage to the greatest extent, so that Benitez could only continue to compete for strength. Even if some places could gain a little advantage, it would be useless...

However, even if he knew this, Benitez had no choice, because Jose knew that he might not be able to compare with Benitez in on-site tactical command, so he didn't give Benitez any chance at all!
