The Real Madrid players who entered the locker room were quite depressed. They thought they performed perfectly in the first half. The defense in the open battle did not leave any space at all except for Aiello to find an arch to lean over and dive to the top.
But even under this almost perfect background, Aiello still took advantage of two set-piece opportunities to send the ball into the goal guarded by Casillas.
The result is really unacceptable...
Mourinho glanced up at the players entering the locker room slightly, and gave a wry smile. As a psychology student, he could tell at a glance that the players had almost lost confidence in the game.
If it weren't for his super self-adjustment ability, he would be completely devoid of confidence by Ai Luo's direct free kick in stoppage time in the first half.
"What a wonder in world football!"
Mourinho cursed secretly, and then assumed a new role --- a psychological counselor.
If you want to become a top-ranked head coach in the world football, in addition to having flexible tactics and tree farm scheduling, you must also have a set of methods to solve the player's psychology. Otherwise, if you don't solve the current situation, the second half of the game will be desperate. It is not impossible to directly lose the chance to advance to the Champions League final this season.
Mourinho shouted directly: "Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"Huh?" Cristiano Ronaldo was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head in surprise.
Mourinho didn't say anything irrelevant, and said directly: "In the second half, I allow you to relax your vigilance on the defensive end, but your next task is quite heavy!! Because we need your super personal ability to help the team equalize the score, or even overtake!"
After the words fell, Mourinho's right fist hit the palm of his left hand, making a "snap" sound, which was particularly exciting in the luxurious dressing room.
"Can it be done?"
Cristiano Ronaldo quickly replied: "Yes, yes! And I promise to complete the task!!"
In fact, in his mind, he only likes offense and defense?It's almost impossible to find in his dictionary.
But sometimes, for the good of the team as a whole, Cristiano Ronaldo has to compromise and accept a job he doesn't like doing.
Now the head coach Mourinho asked him to focus more on offense in the second half, and the fool would not agree!
Next, Mourinho gave key instructions on the work on the defensive end, and indicated that Harvey Alonso's position could be moved forward appropriately to increase the number of offensive players in the frontcourt.
On the other side, the visiting team's locker room has a good atmosphere, and there is a very harmonious relationship between the coach and the players.
While chewing gum mechanically, Ancelotti said: "...Although the score of 2:1 in the away game is enough to ensure that we have the upper hand in the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, we will be much more relaxed when we return to the home court. But I hope everyone here will not relax. Real Madrid has never been an easy team to deal with. They have many superstars inside. The conventional offensive method may not be able to score goals, but you cannot guarantee that their superstars will not shine occasionally, just like our Ai..."
After hearing Ancelotti's words, the players who had a little neglect changed their attitudes.
The intermission may be 15 minutes for the fans, but for the players in the game, it is less than 10 minutes. Therefore, the head coaches of both sides of the game will explain in the locker room a shortened version, focusing on the key points as much as possible.

"Although there were three goals in the entire first half, there were not many wonderful shots in fact, because Real Madrid at home was too conservative and used a three-back tactic. Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria recovered two defensive ribs to help defend. A large part of the time was to see Valencia attacking Real Madrid..."
"...But there is no way around this. Ai's personal ability is too strong, and he has many ways to attack and score. If he doesn't have enough defensive numbers, I believe he will have more opportunities in the first half."
"Now Real Madrid is behind Valencia 1:2 at home. I believe they will definitely attack in the second half. Otherwise, once the game ends with this score, 80.00% of Real Madrid will be eliminated, so the situation in the first half will not be repeated in the second half..."
"In the first half of the game, the ball possession rate of the two sides was seriously unbalanced. Valencia's ball possession rate in the away game reached 78% when it was the highest, accounting for almost [-]%. Is this option of giving up the ball possession rate really good?"
……
During the period when the two sides of the game entered the locker room, whether it was the commentator in the on-site commentary booth or the commentator sitting in the live broadcast room of the TV station, they all analyzed and commented on the 45-minute game in the first half.
Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the relatively empty stands of the Bernabéu stadium were gradually filled with fans returning from buying food, and players from both sides also came to the stadium from the player tunnel.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who is preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich in Munich, is paying close attention to the Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Of course, Bayern Munich coach Van Gaal is also paying attention to the Champions League version of this much-watched Spanish national derby.
The winners of these two teams will enter the final, that is, the potential opponents of Barcelona or Bayern Munich in the Champions League final. In the crucial semi-finals, it is necessary to examine the opponent's overall strength and player status.
Likewise, Barcelona star Leo Messi is also following the game.
Aiello's Valencia defeated his Barcelona three times this season, and the losses in these three games directly caused Barcelona to almost miss the domestic league and lose the King's Cup.
For Messi, regardless of whether it is Valencia or Real Madrid that enters the final next, they are opponents that must be defeated, otherwise this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or winner will miss out again...
Thinking of his rankings over the years, he is really crazy...
The second half of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Valencia at home was announced by the referee's whistle. The lagging Real Madrid finally showed the action that fans in the stands wanted to see.
Harvey Alonso moved forward from the position of the defensive midfielder to the position of the central midfielder, so that he can devote more experience to the offense, thereby ensuring the normal offensive operation of the team.
In the first half, he used more long pass assists, but the success rate of this pass is relatively low, and it may not be successful once in a game.
With Harvey Alonso moving forward, Real Madrid's offense still has problems. Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria are both assault players who don't understand the organization at all.
So the camera was given to Kaka and Ozil sitting on the bench...
