Midfielder.

Chapter 204

Chelsea's consecutive victories have dealt a blow to the confidence of many teams, and many people may be waiting to see problems with this group of mercenaries.

After all, after a team has changed more than half of its main lineup, there is always a break-in time, and the city of Rome cannot be built overnight.

Mourinho is not a god. It is impossible for him to shape a team's style in such a short time and to put his own brand on it so quickly.

Like Ranieri, he burst into third place only in the middle of last season after a season in charge of Chelsea.

Even if Mourinho has two brushes, if this guy wants Chelsea to achieve results, it will have to be at least two months later, and it cannot be faster.

Perhaps at the beginning of the Premier League, no one thought that Mourinho's team could play so smoothly, but after the past four rounds of the league, everyone began to face up to this problem. The Portuguese's commanding ability may have surpassed them Imagine, because Chelsea have won four consecutive victories.

Just like those noisy voices of criticism, Mourinho's team has never stopped using their own methods to control the game and control the outcome.

Mourinho has no objection if flamboyant playing can bring the same effect, but now Chelsea don't have the capital to play flamboyantly on the court.

It is difficult to form that kind of habitual tacit understanding among a group of players who only got together two months ago. At least in the early stage of the league, this kind of tacit understanding can only be inspired occasionally, and it cannot last long. If you really want to play It's really not realistic to be gorgeous, at least not in the near future.

Mourinho will not say whether he will change the team's style of play, at least at this stage, he will maintain such an efficient operation and will not change it.

"Only by reducing the danger to the greatest extent can there be fewer accidents in the game. The league is a confrontation with fewer mistakes than anyone."

Mourinho knows that this is not the Portuguese Super League, and it is impossible for him to lead the team to kill the Quartet and win all the way like he led Porto last season.

There are simply too many obstacles in the Premier League. You never know which team will suddenly go crazy and become the biggest obstacle to sniping you to score points.

In order to avoid unnecessary loss of points, Mourinho had no choice but to adopt such an extremely efficient style of play, giving up possession of the ball and pursuing practicality.

If a pass can penetrate the opponent's defense, then Mourinho will let the offensive player omit those fancy moves and hit the key directly.

This kind of play that pursues a high success rate is unique in the Premier League. It is efficient, practical, and kills with one hit. Chelsea looks very cold.

In the shortest period of time, use the most effective method to grab league points, which is absolutely beneficial and harmless to a newly kneaded team.

At least the boss of Chelsea will not express dissatisfaction with this situation. His team has achieved consecutive victories, and he now trusts Mourinho immensely. It's worth it, and it has even greatly exceeded his pre-season expectations.

You know, Abramovich and Kenyon have even made backup preparations, but neither of them thought that Mourinho's start would be so smooth.

At this time, the entire Chelsea management may no longer care how much money they spent this summer, because the investment is so worthwhile.

Compared with last season, they only spent more than 3000 million euros more, but now they have a much better start than last year. The money spent is not injustice.

Now Chelsea and Arsenal have the same [-] points, but their goal difference is slightly less, so they are ranked second in the standings.

Does anyone still question Mourinho's ability to control the team?Maybe even those who clamored to see jokes before the start of the league can shut up.

There may not be a new head coach of any team who will play so smoothly at the beginning of the league. Many people say that this is Mourinho's good luck. In the first four games, only with Manchester United's game can be regarded as a tough battle, and the rest of the opponents are all teams in the middle and lower reaches.

As a coach who has just entered the Premier League, the most unlucky thing in the early stages of the league is to run into strong teams one after another. If one is not careful, he may be greeted with a series of failures, but Mourinho is lucky, he did not Encountering such troubles, the schedule is still in his favor.

I don't know what will happen in the future games, but at least he has already scored the points he deserved on teams like Birmingham and Crystal Palace.

It's the Premier League schedule that gives this guy a good chance to control the team, otherwise, he wouldn't have won four games in a row so easily.

However, such statements come more from the media than from the coaching community, because many coaches know that this is not all luck.

Perhaps it was Mourinho's luck to encounter two teams in the relegation zone in a row, but don't forget that Birmingham only lost one game in the first four rounds.

And Crystal Palace also lost to Chelsea. In the remaining three games, they had one win and two draws, and their performance was not that bad.

Who can keep the record of not conceding a goal when facing four teams in a row?I am afraid that even Ferguson and Wenger led their own teams at their peak, it would be difficult to achieve this, but Chelsea led by Mourinho has already done it, and in these four games, he did not allow his opponents to get any money. Cheap.

In the first three games, maybe Chelsea's defense was a bit jerky because of the cooperation with each other, usually leaving a chance or two for the opponent.

But in the fourth game against Southampton, in nine 10 minutes, Chelsea never let their defense have any loopholes.

Beatty, the head striker of Southampton, said to the reporter familiar with him with a depressed face after the game, "This is simply the most depressing game I have played in recent years. In 90 minutes, I almost Without any support, I could only fight hand-to-hand with those defenders alone."

This striker who can be selected for the England team is definitely not a weak person, but this time, he has seen what is called a defense like an iron wall.

Throughout the game, Terry and Carvalho did not leave Beatty any chance at all, destroying and stealing the ball, almost blocking all possibilities.

Indeed, it was so bad that all the passing lanes for Beatty were cut off, leaving the guy alone.

But Southampton couldn't help their strikers at all, because all their energy was consumed in the battle with their opponents for the midfield.

Lampard, who was suspended for accumulating yellow cards in this game, sat in the stands, but no one missed him because Lin Yi was so dazzling on the field.

Now in the stands of Stamford Bridge, an oversized No. 20 jersey has been specially pulled up for this kid during the game. Lin Yi has almost become the object of their worship. Those crazy Chelsea fans are using this way to pay homage. Lin Yi paid tribute and thanked him for the visual enjoyment he brought.

Although there are too many people in the newspapers and on TV advocating that the Chelsea team won the game with a highly utilitarian style of play, those Chelsea fans will only think that those people are making up, or even jealous, because they may even win the Chelsea team. Haven't watched a complete game this season.

tedious?Maybe, if Lin Yi doesn't play, the Chelsea team may look dull on the scene, but as long as that kid plays, the word boring has nothing to do with the Chelsea team, because the kid himself represents With a kind of extreme beauty.

It is said that South American players are elves on the field, they can make extraordinary moves and shooting skills beyond the imagination of others at will on any occasion.

People like Ronaldo and Maradona are geniuses in this area. As long as the football is under their feet, these people can play all kinds of tricks.

And Lin Yi is the same kind of person as them. As long as he receives the football on the field, whether it is passing or dribbling, he will attract the attention of the entire audience.

In the game against Southampton, this kid was simply venting his depression of not playing the ball in the last game. The ball he played was full of tricks.

Perhaps before that, among the players that Chelsea had passed, Zola from Italy was the foreign player who brought Chelsea fans the most enjoyment.

So from the day Lin Yi landed at Chelsea, this title will change hands, because that kid is a visual feast for others on the court.

The Southampton team's playing style has always been extremely tough. This team used to be known as a strong team killer, but when they met Chelsea, they seemed so weak. Lin Yi's defensive player was completely fooled by Lin Yi this time.

Passing through the crotch is actually a very common way of passing, but have you ever seen anyone who can pass the crotch of three people in a row?There are such shots in this game. I believe that it is impossible for Lin Yi's wonderful performance not to be selected when Sky TV selects the best shots in each round of the Premier League.

No one could see exactly how this kid managed to do this. Anyway, starting from the midfield, he passed three people through the crotch, and it was consecutive.

An S-shaped curve, until the fourth person overturned him with a fierce foul in front of the big penalty area, otherwise, I don't know how many times this kid can pass.

This is just a microcosm of Lin Yi in the whole game. From the first second he touched the football, he has become a nightmare in the eyes of those opponents.

This kid ran through the whole game. He disrupted Southampton's defense all by himself in the midfielder position. His passes kept threatening the opponent's goal, but this time Lin Yi didn't let himself be the finisher. Or, he more often chooses to pass the ball to Drogba's feet.

Throughout the game, Drogba received at least three extremely precise through balls from Lin Yina. Such passes finally allowed Drogba to find the feeling of shooting.

Drogba really can no longer waste the opportunities that Lin Yi has worked so hard to create, those passes are directly stuffed into his running route.

When the score was deadlocked, it was the African elephant who received Lin Yi's through ball from the outside instep in the middle of the penalty area, and fell to the ground and scored the goal.

From the start to the final poke and shot, the opponent's defender hardly reacted, because they didn't see how the football was passed.

After the African elephant got the shot, the first thing he did when he got up from the ground was to hug Lin Yi with his strong arms.

"Hey, kid, you're so fucking cute!", the guy who had been gloomy for a month could finally show his teeth and smile.

Scored his second goal of the season at home, which made Drogba, who has been controversial, finally be able to roar once on the court.

But all of this is also due to Lin Yi's continuous passing. If it weren't for that kid's precise passing, maybe Drogba wouldn't be able to get such a shooting opportunity.

Of course, Lin Yi thought it would be better if this guy didn't express his friendliness in this way, because the sweat glands on this elephant's body are too developed, and now Lin Yi's jersey has been soaked in this guy's sweat , his body has been ruined by Drogba!
"That kid can always activate everyone." Seeing this scene, Brito sat on the bench and said to Mourinho, spreading his hands.

"It was the same in Porto last season. When McCarthy fell into a goal panic, it was he who used the continuous passing of a game to activate the goal momentum of the South African. This time, he just changed. Just a goal, and that's the way he likes it anyway."

Mourinho didn't seem to be surprised by all this. He knew very well what kind of person this kid he taught himself was.

Someone once said that when this kid is on the court, he likes to express himself a little too much, and this habit will make him independent of the tactical system.

But Mourinho never saw it that way. From the first day he saw that kid play football, he knew that Lin Yi was a team player from the bottom of his heart.

He is in the limelight on the court, but after his crazy performance, it is this little guy's wide vision and tricky and accurate passing.

Lin Yi is not Lampard. He likes to keep his position in the blank area between the arc of the center circle and the top of the arc of the penalty area, rather than closer to the goal.

Between shooting and passing, Lin Yi prefers the former. He likes to play the role of commander, and dominating football is more attractive to him than shooting.

He is used to organizing the whole team to put pressure on the opponent instead of solving problems with his own shots. Can you say that such a player is alone?

Many people now describe Chelsea as a utilitarian team that does not hesitate to sacrifice appearances in order to win, but Lin Yi's existence is an outlier.

Said they played ugly?Uh, so why is there always a shot of the dark-haired kid in the weekly Premier League highlights, and often in more than one place.Said they played beautifully?It is estimated that before you finish this sentence, you will be drowned by those football commentators with a saliva offensive.

Heterogeneous, this is the only word to describe Lin Yi's presence at Chelsea. As long as he plays, Chelsea's style will suddenly change.

Even though these guys are still very tough in offense and defense, Lin Yi uses his extremely delicate skills to make it even more dangerous.

However, Lin Yi has not yet stabilized his main position under Mourinho. The relationship between him and Lampard is only a rotation.

This is not Mourinho's rotation policy, but between active offense and pursuit of efficiency, Mourinho is also considering a route that suits Chelsea and himself. Lin Yi is now the balance point for this style change. What is it? How to play the game, Mourinho must choose according to the situation.

But even he himself admits that only when Lin Yi plays, Chelsea's offensive style will become sharper, which makes it difficult for him to give up.

Compared with Lampard, the kid has a very flexible mind and a lot of inspiration in the game, but sometimes the kid is too adventurous.

As long as Lin Yi gets a chance to play, he will go crazy on the court. This guy often tampers with Mourinho's will during the game. At first, Mourinho would hold his ear and yell twice after the game In other words, in the end, he didn't bother to train that kid anymore, anyway, his choice was not bad.

Just like the game against Southampton, Mourinho asked him to pay attention to splitting the ball to the two sides, and then rely on the cross to tear the opponent's defense.

For this reason, Mourinho even arranged for Drogba and Gudjohnsen, two big guys with good headers, to respond in the middle, in order to engage in aerial bombing.

But he still forgot that the person behind these two guys was not the stern Lampard who kicked the ball, but his cunning apprentice.

At first, Lin Yi also tried to control the football in the middle, and then handed it over to the offensive players on the side to make crosses, but he soon changed his mind.

With Thiago and Joe Cole failing to create offensive opportunities from the wing, Lin Yi began to choose to do it alone in the middle. This kind of dribbling impact and passing gave Drogba many chances to score goals.

However, in the games between Thiago and Joe Cole, because of Lin Yi's excessive forward pressure, he had to retreat to the middle to prevent him from the danger of the opponent's counterattack.

Such actions often undermine the integrity that Mourinho emphasized. Because of this approach, Lin Yi is often taught by Mourinho.

But the price this kid paid after the game was that he had to run [-] meters on the training ground, which was Mourinho's punishment for his violation of tactical arrangements.

But in private, Mourinho still asked Lin Yi to make his own choices on the court according to the situation, which made Lin Yi quite speechless.

"You let me make my own decision, and then punished me? Is there any reason for that?" Lin Yi muttered, in exchange for a slap on the forehead.

"Let you adapt to the situation, but not let you disrupt the tactical arrangement wantonly!" Mourinho is now treating Lin Yi more and more simply and rudely.

But it is undeniable that Lin Yi has now become the idol of Stamford Bridge fans, and he is cheered the most times in every game.

Is this kid who has been rampant in the Portuguese Super League now wanting to bring his monstrous traits to the Premier League?

Alas, who knows. . .

(Hey, the Lakers are really not doing well recently. This loss is still the same. Three consecutive championships are a bit dangerous...)
