Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the Real Madrid fans in the stands were talking among themselves; in this match, the team was struggling to break the deadlock.
With key players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Alonso, and Kaka absent, Chen Zhong could only help the team control the pace of the game but could not score that crucial goal.
The main issue for Real Madrid now is not the midfield or defense, but the forward line, lacking a player who can finish decisively.
In the past, even if Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kaka couldn't score, they could put immense pressure on the opponent's defense, and eventually, Chen Zhong would come forward and make the decisive strike.
But now?
During the halftime break, Mourinho made some adjustments, and Adebayor showed that he couldn't be completely relied upon in this match.
After repeatedly missing opportunities, Mourinho in his tactical arrangements wanted Adebayor to act more as a pivotal point.
"The second half begins."
